Well as for all your comments. This time, the Robot Masters will come in nine since Shademan's the leader and doesn't count as one of the lackeys. As for Fangirl, I didn't actually play the game and thought only Serpent was defeated. Anyways, just pretend that Model W is still alive. Well, here's the next chapter:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Vent charges at Shademan and swings his purple saber in an arc, creating a huge cut in Shademan's left arm.
"Don't be so confident!" Bats start to surround Shademan as his cuts heal. "You're nothing compared to me! Crush Noise!"
Vent gets hit by the full force of the attack and sent flying back. He manages to stand up right after and aim his buster at Shademan. "DIE!"
Aile continues to stand and watch the battle between Vent and Shademan. Whatever Vent did, it made him stronger, but he doesn't seem like himself anymore… I've never seen Vent so angry, it's like he's being possessed… Aile looks down at the wound from Vent's attack. He's also never attacked a teammate like that. Vent, what's wrong?
Shademan slashes at Vent, but he just takes the hit and attacks back. Vent jumps into the air and spins his OX Saber, sending little energy waves fanning out. Shademan brings his wing up to defend against the attack, but attack seems to freeze it. "What!?"
Vent charges up to Shademan at an incredible speed and executes a flaming uppercut with his saber, defrosting Shademan's wing and sending him upwards. "You seem to be quite fond of those wings of yours. Maybe I should take it off along with your arms." A voice unlike Vent's escaped from his mouth as the others turn their attention to Shademan and Vent.
Zero and Crashman stop fighting as Zero stares at the red figure of Vent. That sounded almost exactly like Omega, but we've destroyed him! It does explain the color of his armor. Vent looks just like Omega did, but where did he find that biometal?
Vent grabs one of Shademan's arm and attempts to rip it off, but vines start to come out of the ground and get in the way. Vent bites through the vines with his teeth before going after Shademan again.
A large wave of fire gets in Vent's way as he runs through it, only to have Shademan's claw connect with his face. Vent lets out a low primal growl before attempting to attack again, but found his legs frozen.
"Vent, stop this! You'll get yourself killed." Aile attempts to go up and help Vent, but Vent fires his OX Buster recklessly at his own feet and pushes Aile out of the way before attempting to attack Shademan and the other three.
Plantman, Burnerman, and Freezeman get out of the way as Vent continues to charge forward. Vent gets out his OX Saber as he prepares to destroy Shademan. Metalman and Crashman charge at Vent from both sides, crushing him with their elbows.
Vent pushed the two of them away and jumped into the air spinning his saber, sending out waves to temporarily freeze the two of them. Vent jumps up and attempts to attack Shademan again, but is sent back by a Crush Noise attack.
X, Zero, and the others watch as Vent keeps on fighting. "What should we do? Help him?" Harpuia looks at Zero and X as they shake their head.
"I don't think that Vent wants any of our help. If we get in the way, he'll only attack us." The others nod as they continue to watch Vent fight.
Vent stands back up again as he grips his OX Buster. He launches six charged shots at each of the reploids in the room, knocking everyone except Shademan down. "You just don't know when to give up, do you!?"
Vent gets up again with a look of bloodlust in his eyes and prepares to attack them again. Before he could attack, a white laser hits him from the behind.
"Shademan, we've got what you wanted." Two identical reploids appear from Guardian HQ. The two of them seem to be wearing almost clear armor, like mirrors with a blue suit underneath. Both of them have a sack slung over their shoulder with what appeared to come from Guardian HQ.
The two of the reploids merge into one as Shademan smiles. "Excellent work, Geminiman, now let's go." Shademan and the others turn to leave, but Aile manages to stand up and speak.
"Weren't there… only three… of you?" Shademan just laughs at Aile's question.
"In the beginning, Yuriskah only brought back those five, but later decided that he didn't want to lead them, so he brought me back. If Yuriskah could do it, then why shouldn't we? Besides, Geminiman just got us what we needed to create two more." Shademan and the others warp out as Vent continues to stare at them.
Zero cautiously approaches Vent. "Vent, it's okay now." Vent turns to face Zero and brings out his OX Saber. Not entirely unexpected, Zero brings up his Z-Saber to block it. "Guys, we need to stop him from doing anymore damage!"
All five reploids charged at Vent as they tried to contain him. Vent used his OX Buster to shoot at everyone in the way. The charge shots connected with their marks as they sent everyone flying back.
"Well, Zero, things sure have changed since the last time we met, hasn't it? Actually, come to think of it, this is actually pretty similar. The last time, I took over Forte to fight you, and now, I'm using the chosen one."
Vent moves forward as Zero gets up. "The only difference is that this time I'll destroy you!" Vent brings his OX Saber down as Zero jumps out of the way. Vent follows up with a flame uppercut, knocking Zero down.
X shoots Vent down from the sky with his X-Buster. Vent charges at X but Harpuia grabs onto him and brings him to the sky. Vent fires his OX Buster at Harpuia, but misses as Harpuia drops him.
Vent manages to land on his feet to avoid damage, but Fefnir greets him with his twin buster. Vent prepares to run at Fefnir, but finds his feet frozen.
"We can't keep fighting him forever, there has to be a way to return him back to normal." Zero gets up again and gets out his Z-Saber. "If he truly can't be helped, then we have no other choice than to kill him."
"STOP!" Aile weakly stands up as the five reploids stopped their actions and Vent looks at her curiously. She walks up to Vent and hugs him as she starts to cry. "Vent, I know that you're not like this. Please, stop this right now."
"Vent isn't here anymore." Vent raises the OX Saber, but Aile doesn't seem to move. Vent prepares to bring it down, but something stops him. "A-Aile!"
The red armor reverts back to normal as Vent faints on the ground. Aile helps him up as the others watched.
"Well, guess we didn't need to kill him after all." Zero continues to watch as the two of them enter Guardian HQ. "Guess we should go as well."
The other four reploids nod as they follow Zero back into base.
"Looks like Model W's plan didn't work exactly as planned. I'll just go back and make my report." A dark figure warps out of his hiding place in the tree.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Guardian HQ
"Well, how is he?" Aile looks at the unconscious figure of Vent on the bed as he looks at Rose and Prairie.
"He's suffered a lot of damage, but it's nothing that we can't fix." Rose continues to work on Vent as Prairie looks at Aile.
"We should go to Ciel's room. Zero just gave her the biometal that Vent used to analyze." Aile nods as the two of them leave.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Well, any luck?" Zero enters the room as he sees Ciel looking intensely at the dark red biometal. X and the other three reploids enter the room, soon followed by Aile and Prairie.
"The data I could find on the biometal matches with Omega's. This biometal has Omega's power, and from what you told me, Vent was possessed." The others pause for a moment as they remember that name.
"Is there anyway to safely use the biometal?" Prairie looks at the biometal but Ciel sighs.
"I'm afraid I haven't figured that out yet. Everything about the biometal is very complicated and I've only managed to find out a bit about it. This wasn't made the same way as I made the other biometals. It's more similar to Model W."
There was another moment of silence before Aile decides to speak. "What do you think we should do with it for now?"
The door opens and everyone's eyes turn to find Vent walking into the room. "Vent! You shouldn't be up right now."
"Rose said it was okay, so don't worry." Vent takes a seat next to Aile as he takes a look at Model O. "I guess me and Aile should just hold it until you find something out. Besides, it might even save us some time."
"Alright, but don't use Model O unless you absolutely need to." Ciel hands the biometal to Vent and everyone heads back to their own room.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, Aile?" Vent turns Model O back and forth as he takes a look at it.
"Yes?" Aile sits beside Vent on his bed as Vent tries to find the right words.
"I just wanted to apologize for what I did. I've attacked you and everyone else without even thinking about my actions. I almost killed you…"
"It's okay, Vent." Aile goes closer and hugs him. "You weren't in control of yourself back then, and when Model O tried to kill me, you stopped him. I'll always be there for you, no matter what."
"Thanks, Aile." The two of them stay in the position for some time before Vent starts to blush, he tries to turn to see Aile's face, but couldn't. I wonder what she's thinking right now…
Aile stops hugging Vent as she brings her face in front of his. Her cheeks have a tint of pink in them as they stare at each other. We were interrupted last time, but I'm sure that it won't happen again.
The two of them bring their lips together and remain like that for a few seconds before they break the kiss. "Vent, let's promise that we'll protect each other no matter what."
"That's what we've been doing ever since we've got the biometals."
"Alright, Vent, good night." Aile goes up to sleep on her bed as Vent thinks of something from before. He grins as he attempts to try it out.
"Aile, I'm scared…"
"Don't push your luck." Vent freezes as he hears Aile's voice. "That kiss is the only thing you're getting for today." Vent sighs as he goes back to sleep. Well, it was worth a shot.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"You're back, Phantom. How did it go?" Phantom walks into the room to be met by Pandora, Model W, and an injured Prometheus.
"They managed to stop Model O and Vent is in his human form again." Phantom looks at Prometheus. "What happened to him?"
"Yuriskah decided to betray us and Prometheus stood in his way and got defeated." Pandora replies coolly and Prometheus responds with a cold stare.
"You could have helped."
"Yuriskah is of no threat to us, so there's no point in denying his escape. If anything, he'll get in the way of the Guardians and give us a chance to strike. Pandora did the right thing." Model W pauses for a moment and Phantom looks at him.
"What do you think Yuriskah is up to?"
"That doesn't really matter. He didn't learn about our plans yet, so he won't be able to stop us no matter what he tires."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Lord Shademan, we've finished analyzing the data that Yuriskah left. Come here and look at the results!" Shademan goes up to the monitor and carefully scans the data.
"This is what he was up to the whole time, huh?" Shademan looks at the two incomplete Robot Masters. "When will they be complete?"
"They're almost done."
"I see." Shademan starts to leave the room. "I'll go and find Yuriskah. If he succeeds in his plan, he could become quite a threat. Continue with the plan after those two are finished." Shademan leaves the room as the other Robot Masters continue to build the two of them.
"This brings back old memories, doesn't it, Burnerman?" Plantman looks at everyone in the room. "The difference is, there's more than one hero trying to stop us this time and Shademan's our leader instead of Wily."
"Don't forget that this time, we won't lose."
