Leviathan made a break for the other side as several energy balls flew by her. She was almost hit by two. "You need to be more careful." Harpuia scolded. After she felt a little bad she got herself together.
"What are we going to do?" she asked him. All he did was shake his head and leap out from behind the large rock. A few seconds later she did the same, they launched a duel attack, hoping their new power would be enough this time. Their opponent vanished.
"Damn it that is the third time…" suddenly a blade was at Leviathan's throat. Harpuia looked shocked. "Dark, how are we supposed to beat you when you do things like that?"
"And why do you keep going for me, damn it!?" Dark looked at them.
"Well, first, you aren't supposed to, you are supposed to be getting used to your new bodies, second, no offense, but you're a weaker target right now, of course I'm gonna take easy pickings first." With that remark she kicked at him, only for her foot to be caught. "And I don't like being kicked, I'm taking time to help you two get the feeling back, before we go, or you two will be the same when we get back, just flesh and blood instead of machines. Besides, we have only a few hours before we need to leave in order to make it back, so I'll bring this little program with use, just in case." He walks over a pulls a small mother board out of a computer, the surrounding area starts to vanish and they find themselves in the lab still. "This training program is just what we need back at the resistance."
"I'd have to agree, Zero might use this more than we have…" Dark looked at him funny. "Eh… maybe not." Harpuia, for some weird reason, felt like an idiot.
"Zero has used this more than I ever will; I've only been in this thing about 8 times now. Back when he was a maverick hunter he used this thing to better his aim and to enhance his strategy skills. That is why he became known as the S-rank hunter." Suddenly, without any warning an explosion was heard outside. "Bastards!" Dark cried. He then ran to a wall opening it. "You two, go now, I'll hold them off." They didn't disagree; they shook their heads and went through the passageway. Dark then closed it off and ran to the door.
"Sure you want to play hero this time?" He heard in his head. Dark was silent and unmoving for a bit… "Yes…" he said to himself very quietly.
Dark reached the surface to find nothing but little grunts. "This is it, how cruel, I wanted more fun." Dark smiled, rushing in with confidence. A few shots here, some sword slashes there, here a charged burst and an explosion or two, repeated for about half an hour and it was over. "See, nothing to it…"
"Really… is that so?" A voice rang. He had never heard the voice before so he wasn't expecting what he saw next.
"Yeah, really…" he turned, then found himself out of breath. He tried gasping for breath; before him was a very large, enormous silver reploid with large claws, a dark silver and black helmet with designs of "" on both sides and the design of "" in the center. His body was silverish and in the center of his chest he had the "infinity" symbol. He had legs but he wasn't walking, he was more hovering above the ground. He stood about 25 feet to Dark's 5½, towering over him easily. "You… your… Ultima… aren't you?" Dark stuttered.
"Bravo, we've never met but you can guess who I am on the first try." Dark vaulted himself into the air, landing a punch at his face but was repelled back. "It's not nice to attack while I'm speaking."
"In case you can't figure it out, I'm not a nice guy." He did so again, only to be grabbed out of the air in a heartbeat. 'He's fast for his size." Dark thought. "Let go, you pansy." Ultima threw him to the floor leaving a small crater. Dark winced at the pain. 'I can't win this… He's too strong.'
Elsewhere Harpuia and Leviathan had just come out of the passageway, which placed them about a mile and a half away from the facility. As they turn to see if Dark was behind them on the surface they saw a giant reploid off in the distance. After on looking for a while they saw Dark going head to head with the enormous guy. "Who is that?" Leviathan was able to ask, but Harpuia just stood there asking himself the same thing. After a long silence Harpuia looked at Leviathan.
"Let's go, he wanted us to escape. He'll be ok." He grabbed her by the hand as they both started running in the direction of the resistance base. 'I really hope you'll be ok.' He thought to himself.
"You are going to die here if you keep that up." Ultima says, knocking Dark into the ground again. Dark stays in his hole for a bit.
"This is a pain… my friend, will you fight for my sake… and your own?" In his mind his heard the answer he wanted. His eyes go red again. Dark get's up.
"So… Ultima… how have you been doing?" Black Omega smiled.
"You?! I banished you, how the hell did you get in there?" Omega smiled.
"I found it after you locked me away on the network, I got myself out and found this body of machine and parts. So I took it for a while, then lost it…. You know… many things happened… and even in the end he let me stay… so, in exchange for being able to live I stay a good boy and don't rear my head unless needed… but what about you… haven't seen you in almost 300 years… what have you been locked away in…?" he laughed manically. "You know, I'm not too happy about my abilities being sealed by you… I now have to regain all that power back… but no hard feelings… I can just take your's…" He pulls out both blades, putting them together, then turned them on. A dark red blade, almost twice the size of Dark's regular beam sabers.
"That Crimson Blade is only good for breaking the link and siphoning the linker's power, not mine from me." Ultima quickly grabs Omega. "And you, silly man, aren't strong enough to take me on." Omega smiled.
"That so… Let's just find out…" Omega powered up and burst out of his grip. Ultima, surprised a bit by this, thrusted his palm forward, hitting Omega hard with his large hand. Omega smiled again, turning himself around and using a charged sword attack to stop himself, then used another to propel himself towards the large reploid. He slashed several times, doing no damage at all. He had a shocked expression, then kicked off of Ultima, landing on the ground, dodging a swing, and another and another, till he hit a rock and was forced through it by the colossal hand. He did a small back flip, putting himself on his feet. "This isn't over yet…. Not by a long shot…"
