Megaman ZX Omega

Me: Hello, I am back in the world of Megaman!

Aeolus: About time I got screen time here.

Me: It won't be the last story you show up in.

Aeolus & Neo: ?

Iris: She has...a whole freaking SERIES...inside that evil mind of hers!

Me: That I do! ZX Archangel is sort of a prequel...and THIS is the first installment! Someone please get the disclaimer!

Maria: I got it. BladeofMoonlight does not own MMZX or anything belonging to Capcom. Everything else is hers.

Chapter 11: Sub-Zero Serpent

/Neo's P.O.V.

"Okay, this is what we've got so far." Aerios said, his usual collected behavior kicking in after the shock of finding out Neo had hired the four dark chosen ones WITHOUT something being blown to hell in the process. "One of the entrances to the Raider Zone is in a series of underwater tunnels. Another one is in an area that's always on fire. We're yet to find out where the other two are."

"So you've known where they were the entire time..." Atlas's eyes narrowed. "And you didn't launch an assault because WHY?"

"We did...or attempted to, several days ago during the mess with Vector." Aerios replied heavily. "And it failed, epically. This is why." He pulled up two images on the main screen. "The entrance guards have apparently been replaced with two of Model I's guardians, codenamed Blaze Phoenix and Absolute–Zero Serpent."

Blaze Phoenix was a girl, judging by her facial features. Her once green eyes, guarded by a tinted green visor, had turned an eerie violet, and red hair splayed across her back from under her phoenix – shaped helmet. Her bodysuit was in the likeness of Model F's, but it was slimmer and shot through with orange, yellow and a light shade of crimson along with its fiery red color and green crystals. She had one set of wings, but they were more phoenix – like as opposed to her maiden's angelic ones. She was holding a cannon that would have done justice to Hardien Craft himself, and fire was licking upwards from the barrels.

Absolute–Zero Serpent was probably male, and his eyes were a cold blue-purple color. His visor was tinted cobalt blue, and long black hair reached part way down his back. His helmet has a serpent winding around the blue crystal in the middle. His bodysuit was a blue so dark it was almost black, shot through with some lighter shades of blue, winding around the green crystals on his mid–sized gauntlets and boots. He didn't have wings, but he held a staff a little larger than him with a blue power gem on the upper end, ice crystallizing in the air around it.

"You did say Model I had personal protectors..." My voice trailed off. "But why would they help Cyrus?"

"They're probably doing what they think will protect their charge." Aerois answered, shaking his head. "If she got mutated, there's a pretty good chance they were too. They're only desire, driving motion, is to safeguard her. And if she's locked up in Cyrus's prison complex, they will task themselves with protecting it."

"Poor misguided saps." Model O muttered. Maria hit him with a baseball bat. "OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!"

"I felt like it." My sister replied sarcastically. "Which one of those two should we try to take out first?"

"That's your call, Light."

"I wish he would use our first names more." Maria muttered. "I'm going to chase Blaze Phoenix, bro, which means you're left with Absolute–Zero Serpent."

I shrugged. "Just as well, I guess. Thetis!"

The famed Ice chosen one looked up with a start. "Yes?"

"I can't get in with those irritating ice locks in the way, which is where you guys come in. You're coming with me."

"Uhh...okay?" Thetis sweat dropped slightly before nodding. "Let's go." "Great. Out of all of them, we have to deal with the one who has the mindset of six-year-old." Model O muttered.

"Oh, shut up!" A feminine voice snapped, and a blue biometal flew over and tackled a startled Model O, who I suppose was Model L.

"Will you two stop trying to kill each other and come this way?" Thetis groaned. I shrugged and walked towards the transporter.

/Under Sea Level, Area 64, Neo's P.O.V.

"Stupid fairy."

"Annoying psychotic jerk."

"Shut up."

"After you!"

"No. You shut up first!"

"No one said I had the right to remain silent!"

"L! O!" Thetis yelled. "You DO have the right to remain silent! What you lack is the capacity!"

Both biometals started sulking, which was FINE with me. Model L and Model O had been arguing and insulting each other nonstop since the mission had begun, and it was REALLY starting to give me a headache. You'd have one to, if you had to put up with having a screamed argument happening in your head non-stop for over an hour.

"Finally, peace and quiet." I muttered, while Thetis quickly disengaged a group of locks on the sea floor. We both walked inside.

Thetis looked around and smiled. "Well! The coast is clear for now."

"How long will that last?" I replied, walking along beside him. "Since we're walking into a prison complex."

"Hey, at least things can't get-" Thetis was abruptly cut off when the alarm bells started ringing. And every door in the area opened and gallons started pouring out.

I glared at him from the corner of my eye. "Tell me, Thetis, were you about to say WORSE?"

"Uhhh..." The childish megaman sweat-dropped. "I...dunno?"

"Forget it." I sighed. "Just help me take care of these idiots." I drew my saber and met my attackers head on. They opened fire. The plasma stung some, but not much. I hacked my way through the mass of attackers in my usual violent manner, the violet flare of the O-Saber seemingly everywhere at once. I heard Thetis yell "FREEZING DARGON!" from somewhere nearby, so I take it he doesn't need my help.

"Just try to beat my record, L!" Model O laughed as I dismembered an attack mechadoliod.

"That goes double for me, O." Model L growled. "Don't you dare try to show me up!"

I just let loose a charge attack, blowing a hole through six gallons. Everything melted down into a blinding whirl of kicks and blasts. It was as if for every gallon I killed, six more came through to take it's place! This was getting us no where. As they continued to flood through the open gates, I sighed and signaled to Thetis, my eyes on the layered plates of reinforced glass between us and the sea.

"Got a plan?" Thetis asked, catching onto my satisfied expression.

"Yeah. You think you can bust the holders on the right?"

"Sure. You take the left." We both bolted in different directions. Only the mechadoliods seemed to understand what we were up to, and I had to avoid the plasma predator that was launched at me at eighty miles an hour. Skidding to a halt, I raised my buster and fired seven simultaneous shots up at the little iron bits that kept the glass steady.

On this end, Thetis cut the supports into little tiny pieces. He turned around and looked at the iron bar in the middle, muttered a calculation under his breath, and threw his weapon, hard. The halbred spun in circles, slicing the bar in half and cracking the glass. I grinned.

"Now all there's left to do...is get the hell out of the way!" Screaming under the pressure, the glass windows broke, one after another. Thetis's weapon returned to him at a gesture, and both of us hightailed it down one of the open corridors. I glanced over my shoulder just in time to see three hundred tones of glass and water come crashing down, flooding the area and drowning our opponents. Water and glass flowed after us. Thankfully, my dash boosters can move at least 60 miles an hour, so we managed to outpace the floor and enter the last room. The water was up to our ankles, and the huge iron door was shut.

Absolute–Zero Serpent turned around, as if sensing our entrance. "Interesting." He said emotionlessly. "You're the first one to think of breaking the glass." He raised his staff, and the water began to grow cold.

"Oh, ****." I muttered.

"You're in my territory, trespassers." Both me and Thetis quickly took a defensive positions as the Guardian Mega prepared to strike.

/Around the same time, Area 55, Maria's P.O.V.

I let out a low whistle of admiration as I viewed the ruined fleet of mavericks. Atlas just took a step backwards, smirking.

"I've had tougher fights..." She complained. "They're all talk, no substance."

I grinned. "I think we'll get along just fine." Spinning my chain weapon around my fingers, I followed her to the gate.

"Well, there's the door." Atlas stated. "Now where's the..."

The ground around us abruptly exploded into flame. "Phoenix." I finished her sentence for her.

Blaze Phoenix hovered to the ground directly in front of us, eerie eyes glowing dangerously. I'll say one thing, that cannon of hers looks more than simply dangerous. Hell, you could probably cause a wildfire with that thing with just one dumb shot.

"Death." She stated coldly. Atlas and I both tensed, waiting for her attack. We probably wouldn't get out of this without a few bad burns.
