Author's Note: Let's see how the conclusion of this story arc works. I've been playing Bioshock 2 for the past few days, so expect some jokes and combat tactics related to that.

Track 10: A man chooses…

Timmy had done it

He had done what most men aren't able to

He scared the Fright Knight, one of the most fearsome ecto sapiens in the whole Ghost Zone.

His powers are awakening

Me, Trixie and Timmy all fired an Unlock Beam from our Keyblades.

It was subtle, but the girl seemed more happy and energetic since she consoled herself with her mother's death.

It seems that the mask has chipped. Or maybe slipped.

I had taken the obvious precaution of trapping the area around Pariah's resting place. Electric tripwires, proximity mines, Riddlecorp magitek turrets. I was taking every precaution I could.

Much like the fae, the ghosts' government was an oligarchy. Only the strongest man ruled. Jorgen Von Strangle and Pariah Dark. Same tyrant, different races.

It took all the ghosts in this dimension to trap this guy in.

But then again, those ghosts didn't have me.

Then, the man was released.

He looks like a ghost version of Odin. That's weird,

"YOUNG WHELPS. KNEEL BEFORE ME" the man shouted.

"I may spare your lives if you surrender now, as you have freed me"

"I bow to none!" I screamed as I fired a blast of white fire.

"I see the spark of rebellion in your eyes, whelp. I shall snuff it out"

"Your power. It reminds me of those who forced my sleep."

My aim faltered at this

"Really?"

"Indeed" Pariah said as he charged a red blast "SO now I KNOW to conquer you as fast as possible"

I yelped as I flew to dodge his blasts and my party did the same.

"I came here to get your artifacts, and that's what I intend to DO" I screamed as one large blast hit Pariah square in the chest, knocking him back. and into the coffin.

"How did you?" Danny started, obviously questioning how I was able to take him out in one shot

"I don't know," Something was up. Something… temporal.

I grabbed the Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage, then kicked him back in the sarcophagus

"We have bigger fish to fry. And I know just the man"

I gestured to the part of the map where Clockwork, ghost of time resided.

This is where things go south for our little group

As I entered the giant clock, both Dave and me could smell something bad in the air. Not bad smelling. Darkness had been here.

And what we saw next was quite a shock to both Danny and me, as we had both known Clockwork.

The ghost of time was in the middle of his chamber, stabbed in the heart with his own staff.

As we examined his body, dead more then a ghost can be, a monitor flickered to life, showing Clockwork, pseudo alive

"Michael, if you are watching this, then my death was predicted quite well"

"I knew this would happen, because my time has come, and I must pass the torch, by my own will or not.

"I intervened to save Daniel Fenton because I knew of the Chosen when the Observants didn't"

Then two more monitors came to life, showing heroes both Dave and me recognized.

One of them had spikey red hair tied with a white headband and blue clothes. Chrono

The other was a 18-year-old kid with a green tunic, green hat, blonde hair, and blue eyes. One of many Links

"You must take up my mantle as Hero of Time, as these two have before you.

"I already know you're going to say yes, but I like to keep all timelines open"

I grabbed Clockwork's staff from his body, and it glowed white, then flew into the armor

"Chronokenetic functions added," piped in a female voice from my armor

"But Mike. What about the Ring of Rage and Crown of Flames?" asked David

"Keep em in storage until we need them, Dave. I have a feeling time control will be a lot more useful"

We flew back to the portal to Fenton Works

"Well, I would say that was a rousing success. I wonder what happened when we were out"

I turned on the TV. Bad idea.

"I, Ivan Frost, have circumstantial evidence that my former partner and current rival, Michael Thomas Riddle was responsible for the disappearance of Dimmsdale, California from these United States"

Ivan held up photos of my fight with Crocker, and my powers being used, as well as me working on the bomb.

THAT BASTARD

Well at least there might be a window to prove my inno-

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of about 50 dark matter guns cocked at my head.

Checkmate. A super secret agency created to regulate metahumans. Given that I'm basically Superman minus control, they've probably been itching to take a swing at me.

"Checkmate, you're under arrest for crimes against humanity, Mister Riddle" a agent said.

"I'm sorry I have to cut and run, gentlemen, but I'm not guilty. Knowing how stuff like this works, you won't believe me, soooooooooooo.

I fired a large blast of white fire downwards, obscuring the agent's vision long enough for me to escape.

"Fantastic. FAN F*$KING TASTIC."

"He rats me out to Checkmate and expects to get away with it"

"So, what do we do now?" Dave asked of me.

"We continue our quest. But to succeed, we will need someone only Clockwork's powers can access"

"We need a an man"

The screen behind me lit up for dramatic effect, revealing a young man. He's wearing a blue armored jumpsuit with a visor covering his eyes. He has brown hair sticking out of his helmet and a fearsome looking beast on one of his hands. Geo Stelar.

"We need a man. A Mega Man"

End Track 10

Yes, I'm starting to integrate games into this universe as well.. I've had a long standing love of every single Mega Man series and next chapter, you will see that love blossom like a flower.
