Part XI: Doomsday

A few days after Flaky recovered from her injuries:

Flaky was walking around the town. She was very happy. Now, that Gemini was finally deleted, she felt at peace.

"I sure am glad that's over!" said Flaky "Now, I think we can finally rest"

"Don't relax just yet" said Alpha "After all, there's one more mess you have to deal with, and it's far bigger than Gemini's!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You have to take out their leader now. Our lord as we called him"

"You're lord?"

"Yep! It's only a matter of time before realizes that Gemini is deleted and takes matters into his own hands"

She passed an electronics store and look at the televisions on display. Suddenly, all of them changed! They showed a picture of a shadowy figure. Little did she know that televisions from all over the world were displaying this shadowy figure. People from all around the world watched.

"People of Earth!" said the shadowy figure "I have come to you today to tell you that I plan on a full scale invasion! I come from the planet FM and we want your planet destroyed as soon as possible! I have an army ready to strike and we will show no mercy! We will start the invasion exactly twenty four hours from this point! You have until then to prepare. And this is a message to the one called Cyber Star! If you are watching this, then you know what to do. You are free to board my vessel and challenge me, assuming of course you can make it that far. Farewell!"

The televisions switched back to their previous broadcast. Everyone was in panic!

"Well, that didn't take long!" said Alpha.

"What do we do?" said Flaky.

"There's only one person who can stop him: Cyber Star!" said Alpha.

"I know…"

"Flaky!" said a voice. It was Cuddles and the others were with him!

"Flaky! Did you see it?!?" said Toothy.

"Yeah, I saw it" said Flaky.

"Well, what do we do?!?" said Petunia.

"I know! Cyber Star will help us!" said Toothy "Right, Flaky?"

"Yeah… but…"

"No buts, Flaky!" said Giggles "You're Cyber Star! You're our only hope!"

"Only you can save us, Flaky!" said Sniffles.

"But… I don't know where he is…" said Flaky.

"I do" said Alpha "I know his location"

"You do?" said Flaky.

"Yeah! I used to work for him, remember?"

"That's right!"

"What is it, Flaky?" said Giggles.

"I think I found a way!" said Flaky.

"So, are you gonna do it?" said Cuddles.

"I have no choice, guys" said Flaky "He called me out. I might as well fight… After all, no one else can save this planet…"

"Yeah! Now, that's what I'm talking about!" said Cuddles.

"I know you can do it, Flaky!" said Petunia "I believe in you!"

"You'd better prepare, Flaky" said Giggles "You need to be in top shape if you want to beat that guy!"

Giggles and her friends walked off.

"I guess I'd better get going" said Flaky.

"You'll have to wait until tomorrow" said Alpha.

"Tomorrow?!?" said Flaky.

"Yeah! You need the rest, for starters, and his vessel will be at its weakest when it appears. Then, we can board it easier!"

"… Alright" said Flaky "I'll rest for today. Tomorrow… I'll go after him… and save the world!"

"That's the spirit! Let's head home!" said Alpha.

Flaky did so and headed all the way home. Flaky prepared herself for the invasion. The world was resting on her shoulders. When the night slowly rolled over, Flaky went to bed. She rolled over and looked into her transer.

"Alpha… I'm a little scared…" said Flaky.

"Scared?" said Alpha.

"Yes"

"Of what?!?"

"Of… well… failing. What if I fail? What if the world was destroyed all because of me? What if I don't succeed?"

"Don't worry about it, Flaky. You're Cyber Star, remember?"

"Cyber Star isn't invincible, you know!"

"Still, I know we can succeed! I'm excited for it!"

"Alpha…"

"Look, you have to be brave! You shouldn't run away from this! After all, this is the big fight! A fight for earth! Everyone's relying on you! Just have faith and you'll be alright, okay?"

"Alright…"

Flaky felt a little better and went to sleep. She knew it was going to be a rough day for her tomorrow.

The next day slowly came to pass and Flaky was outside in the park, ready to take on the invasion. She looked up at the sky and saw it, clear as day. Giant ships were in the sky ready to strike. They drew closer and closer. The people have calmed down, they knew that their fate was unavoidable.

"You ready, Flaky?" said Alpha.

"Ready!" said Flaky.

"The only way to get there is through the wave world, so I'll send you there when you wave change"

"Alright, here goes"

Flaky got ready to wave change until she heard a voice say "Flaky, wait!"

It was Cuddles and the others. Mark was with them, too.

"Guys?" said Flaky.

"We came to see you off and wish you luck!" said Giggles "We're counting on you, so don't screw up!"

"You're going up there… aren't you… to put an end to it" said Mark.

"Yes, I am" said Flaky "But… I'm scared, guys. What happens if I mess up?"

"You won't!!! You're Cyber Star!" said Toothy "We believe in you!"

"Toothy's right" said Mark "You shouldn't be scared. We all believe you can do it. You've been through so much for us, and now's the time to put it to the test… to end it all. You can't back off now. Flaky, you shouldn't be scared because I know you can do it! We all have faith in you!"

"That's right!" said Cuddles "You can do it!"

"Yes! Cyber Star won't fail us! She never has and she never will!" said Sniffles.

"Good luck, Flaky! Show them who's boss!" said Petunia.

"Just… Flaky… please… come back in one piece… okay?" said Giggles.

"I promise! I'll return safe and sound!" said Flaky "Thank you all! I promise! I won't let you down!"

"Let's do this!" said Alpha.

"Right!" said Flaky.

She got ready and raised her transer in the air and said "EM WAVE CHANGE!!!"

Flaky transformed into Cyber Star and Alpha sent her to the wave world.

"Okay, now what?" said Cyber Star.

"Now, we find an area with a high frequency" said Alpha "High enough to shoot you into space"

"Where would that be?"

"The closest one is at the space center outside of the city"

"Okay, then, let's head to the space center!"

Cyber Star went down the wave world towards the city. Suddenly, she saw something fall from the sky. They were EM viruses! They looked really strong, too!

"EM viruses!" said Cyber Star.

"You don't have time to deal with them, delete them and go!" said Alpha.

Cyber Star aimed Alpha at the viruses and fired. They were deleted easily. Cyber Star continued. However, she didn't go very far until more came. She fired at them. It took a while, but they were all deleted. Then more came and immediately attacked her! She sidestepped to dodge it, and she fired at them. They continuously attacked her until she deleted them. Then, more tougher viruses took their place.

"They keep coming!" said Cyber Star "We can't keep fighting them! But if we leave, they'll cause a lot of problems"

"I'll help you with that!" said a voice from behind. It was Mega Man!

"Mark!" said Cyber Star.

"Beta sensed a lot of viruses on their way here" said Mega Man "The least we can do to help is take care of them"

"Alpha! Cyber Star!" said Beta "You both know what you have to do! You have to get to the main vessel and destroy the FM lord! Hurry! You don't have much time!"

"Right!" said Cyber Star.

"We'll take care of the viruses! Get going!" said Mega Man.

"Thank you, Mega Man!" said Cyber Star.

Mega Man aimed Beta at the viruses and fired. They were deleted upon impact. Cyber Star continued on to the Space Center. There, she felt some high frequency.

"This must be it" said Cyber Star.

"This is it" said Alpha "You'd better get ready, because we won't be coming back until we beat those guys!"

"Don't worry, I'm ready" said Cyber Star "Let's head on in"

Cyber Star looked around and saw even more viruses were coming. There were three of them, far larger than the average virus. One was made of purple flame with an evil grin on it, it also had two hands. The second resembled a raccoon with a leaf on its head. The last one looked like a black hole with sharp arm-like tentacles coming out of it.

"These viruses look tough!" said Cyber Star.

"They ain't letting you pass. If they destroy this place, there's no way you're coming back!" said Alpha.

"So I have to delete them, then" said Cyber Star.

"Looks like it" said Alpha.

"Okay! Here goes!" said Cyber Star as she aimed Alpha at the flame.

The flame virus disappeared when she shot at it. Suddenly, the raccoon virus turned into a copy of Cyber Star and slashed a sword at her! Cyber Star fell over! It went back and reverted to a raccoon again.

"Ouch!" said Cyber Star.

"Keep an eye on that one!" said Alpha.

Suddenly, Cyber Star saw the flame virus take a bomb out of its mouth and set it down over the building!

"Easy for you to say!" said Cyber Star.

She aimed Alpha at the bomb and fired at it. It was defused and was destroyed!

"Have to keep an eye on that one, too" said Alpha.

"What about the other one?" said Cyber Star.

Alpha looked at the black hole virus. It wasn't doing anything.

"He doesn't seem to be doing anything, yet" said Alpha "Still be careful, though!"

"Alright!" said Cyber Star.

She aimed at the raccoon virus, but it dodged her shots.

"I'm gonna need some battle cards!" said Cyber Star.

"Coming up!" said Alpha.

Cyber Star looked into her left hand and picked out the bubble card and inserted it into Alpha.

"This'll make him hold still!" said Cyber Star.

She fired a bubble at the flame virus. It was incased in a bubble. Cyber Star rapidly fired at it and it was deleted! Then, she inserted the flame wheel card and waited for the raccoon virus to come at her. It eventually did. It transformed into a copy of Cyber Star and swung a sword at her. Cyber Star stepped back to dodge it and she fired a flame wheel at it! It knocked it back. It reverted back to a raccoon and got up. But the wheel went back and hit it from behind and deleted it! Cyber Star caught the flame wheel.

"Great job! That leaves one left!" said Alpha.

Cyber Star aimed Alpha at the black hole and fired. Yet, all her rounds went right through it!

"What?!? Nothing?!?" said Cyber Star.

"This ain't no ordinary virus, Flaky!" said Alpha.

"Oh… no…" said Cyber Star "How do I hit it?"

"Try anything! Maybe something will happen!" said Alpha.

Suddenly the virus reached inside it and threw a ball which looked like Earth at Cyber Star. It hit her and she fell over.

"I need more battle cards!" said Cyber Star.

She looked in her hand and took out the gatling gun card. She inserted it into Alpha. Alpha turned into a gatling gun and she fired at the virus. All the rounds went through it! She tried the electric ball, it still went right though it! She tried more cards! The flame thrower, the lance, she started running out.

"Nothing's working!" said Cyber Star.

Then, the black hole started sucking in air! Cyber Star started getting weaker. Her energy was being drained! Finally, it stopped sucking. Cyber Star fell to her knees.

"Get up, Flaky!" said Alpha "He's gonna delete you! You have to think! What cards haven't you tried yet?"

Cyber Star got up and looked in her hand and saw that she hadn't used the fire sword! She took it out and inserted it into Alpha. A fire blade came out of his mouth!

"I hope this works!" said Cyber Star.

She dashed over to the black hole and slashed at it. It got knocked back! It was effective! The black hole retaliated by throwing another Earth at her. She jumped over it and slashed at the black hole as she landed! The virus was deleted!

"That did it!" said Alpha.

Cyber Star got the healing battle card and inserted it into Alpha. She recovered from her injuries.

"Now, there's one thing left to do. We go after that fleet!" said Cyber Star.

She looked around and saw something: a radio tower! It was shooting off enormous amounts of EM waves!

"There it is!" said Alpha "Our ticket to the fleet!"

"Right!" said Cyber Star "We should get going"

Cyber Star rushed to the top of the radio tower. She jumped from railing to railing all the way to the top. There were massive amounts of EM waves shooting in front of her.

"Okay, Flaky, I'm gonna reroute the waves all the way to the main vessel, all you have to do is jump in" said Alpha.

"Right! Let's go!" said Cyber Star.

Cyber Star leapt into the EM waves and shot off. She could see herself going up into outer space. She felt as if she was going faster than the speed of light! Then, she saw herself getting closer to the main vessel. The biggest ship of them all! Closer and closer, then, she stopped just outside of it. She blasted a hole in the side and dashed on in.

She landed inside. It was dark and cold. The walls were lined with purple electric energy. Small electric wire dangled from the ceiling. An unpleasant feeling filled her bones.

"Don't get scared, Flaky" said Alpha "The fate of the world depends on us"

"Before we go after the FM lord, we should stop the invasion" said Cyber Star.

"That's a good idea. It doesn't look like they've given the order to invade yet, but they're about to. If we can jam their communications, then they won't be able to give the order! All we have to do is go to the control console and destroy it!"

"Okay, lead the way!"

"You're lucky I remember this place! But you have to be careful. We FM-ians use a lot of EM viruses as our security, so be on your toes!"

Cyber Star rushed down the halls with Alpha directing her. Suddenly, an EM virus came out of nowhere. Cyber Star fired at it and deleted it. She continued on. As she met more EM viruses, she deleted them and continued.

"Turn left here and keep going straight!" said Alpha.

Cyber Star did as he said and turned left and went straight down the hall. She kept going until she reached a large room with computers and a window outside. Many FM-ians were sitting in front of the computers keeping everything in tact.

"This is it!" said Alpha "Get busy!"

Suddenly, one of the FM-ians turned around, saw Cyber Star and said "INTRUDER!!!"

The FM-ians rushed over to her and started to attack her! Cyber Star jumped out of the way, aimed Alpha and deleted one. They started to fire energy blasts at her. Cyber Star took cover behind a computer. They fired where she hid behind. Cyber Star stood up and fired rapidly. Some of her shots hit some of them and they were deleted. They fired at her and she ducked. Then she rolled behind the next computer when that computer exploded!

"Pretty persistent, are they?" said Alpha "You'd better hurry and get rid of them before they hit the alarm!"

"I need some battle cards!" said Cyber Star.

"Coming up!" said Alpha.

Cyber Star looked into her hand and got the gatling gun card. She inserted it into Alpha. She stood up and Alpha turned into a gatling gun and she fired at them. Some were deleted. Then, she took cover as more fired at her. She took out the cannon battle card and inserted it into Alpha. She stood up and Alpha turned into a cannon and she fired at them. This made a big explosion! The rest were deleted. Cyber Star got up and gave a sigh of relief.

"That was close…" she said.

"Heh… that was great is what it was!" said Alpha "Now, about the communications"

"Which one is it?"

"I don't know. Pick any one!"

Cyber Star didn't have the time and fired at all the computers. They all sizzled and exploded.

"That's one way to do it…" said Alpha.

"Now Earth is safe… for now" said Cyber Star.

"All that's left is to take out the boss: the FM lord!" said Alpha.

"Yes! Let's finish this once and for all!" said Cyber Star.

Cyber Star raced down the hall to confront the FM lord. Who is he? And will Cyber Star successfully defeat him and save the world? Will she return in one piece and see her friends again?
