Authors Note: Well this is the finale of Part 1 or rather the first "Saga" in this story. It's not necessarily a game changer or anything but hopefully it's entertaining enough for you all to enjoy, also there's a lot of new characters and development so the action kinda stops at the end.
Kingdom Hearts: Rage of Maximus
Chapter 14: The Battle for Planet Zebes Part 3: Sorrow and Despair
Planet Zebes
"Everything has its time and everything dies"
Maximus pressed his back up against the red haired woman as they were surrounded by Space Pirates; she giggled and pushed back against him causing him to blush.
"Now this is more like it, fighting alongside a handsome man in a battlefield, yeap things don't get much better than this" she said as he chuckled lightly.
"Glad you feel that way but maybe you should save the flirting until after we're done with these guys, Miss…ummm?" he said as she looked round and winked at him.
"Call me Anna" she said as he nodded and she prepared to attack, he bought up his hands which became enveloped in fire.
"Ready?" he said as she nodded, she swung as he spun round and let loose a fire blast, the Pirates backed off as she ran forward and cut through them while they were distracted, Maximus took out any others until only Ridley was left.
"Damn you Anna!" he snarled as she blew him a kiss and pointed her sword at him.
"Sorry my dear, but things have to end now. I picked up a very persuading asking price at Krakatoa and I simple couldn't resist, but you forgive me right my little Ridders?" she said with a pout as Ridley narrowed his eyes as Maximus looked at her shocked.
"Wait….you two are dating!" he shouted in horror as she grinned at him, Ridley rushed forward and tried to slash her but she flipped over and dodged.
"Yeah let's just say I get around a lot and before you even ask" she said as she looked him up and down, "Yes, yes I would" she said as Ridley charged towards her again, he grabbed her with his hands as she giggled like she being tickled.
"Someone's getting jealous, aw how cute" she said with a fake pout as Ridley unleashed a fire breath at her, Maximus jumped forward and kicked Ridley in the head before he could hit Anna.
Anna stabbed into Ridley's hand with her sword forcing him to let go, he flew up into the air and out of sight, "See yah then, remember to have my stuff ready to be picked up tomorrow!" she said with a laugh as Maximus looked at her strangely.
"What?" she said as he sighed and shook his head.
"You're defiantly the oddest woman I've met" he said as she laughed and winked at him.
"Ohhhh? Do you like odd woman…errrr?" she said as Maximus started walking off.
"Maximus and no I don't really like my women odd, I prefer them normal thank you very much" he said as she laughed and chased after him.
"Shame, so what are you doing on a place like this Maximus?" she said as he looked around with a panicked expression on his face.
"I'm looking for my friends, one of them is a young girl with blue hair and shouts a lot, her name is Aht and the other about your age but with green hair and fierce temper, she's called Rydia seen them anywhere?" he said as she smiled and looked impressed.
"Ah so you do have plenty of woman in your life, I'am little jealous Max" she said as he shook his hands in front of his face, embarrassed as she laughed.
"There just my friends, nothing else" he said as she laughed and punched him in the arm, then Eleanor appeared from underneath Maximus hood and grabbed his ear.
"Max we don't have time for this, Rydia and the others might be in danger" she said as Anna looked at her fascinated.
"This is Eleanor Anna, Eleanor this is Anna, say hi" he said as Eleanor waved at her nervously.
"Oh you even have a talking doll girl, my, my Max you really are full of surprises" she said giggling as Maximus rolled his eyes "I'm just kidding, well let's go and find them then" she said as she started walking off in a random direction.
"Wait you're going to help me?" he said as she placed her finger on her chin and smiled sweetly at him.
"I couldn't leave a handsome man like you to fight by yourself, it goes against my nature. So what do you say Max, you gonna let me help kick some Pirate ass?" she said sticking her hand out, he grinned and shook her hand.
"You got it" he said as the two of them ran off in the direction of the fighting. They ran up the cliff and saw Shockwave aiming his cannon at Rocket and Drax.
"We are so screwed" said Rocket as Anna lifted her sword like a javelin and threw it towards one of the dreadlocked Decepticons; it impaled him through the face causing the others to look around in confusion as Rocket grinned.
"Give me a boost Draxy boy!" he shouted as Drax picked him up and launched him towards Shockwave, Rocket landed and started shooting at Shockwaves face with his gun as Shockwave yelled in pain as he tried to swat Rocker away.
Drax sliced through one of the Decepticons arms as it tried to punch him, he threw his blade into one's eyes and jumped up and tore his blade through its face, Maximus and Anna jumped in as one of the Decepticons tried to crush Drax, Maximus fired a ki blast into its face causing its head to explode, it collapsed to the ground as Anna leapt and pulled her blade down vertically, slicing the other clean in half.
Drax slammed his other blade into the last ones throat and threw it in the direction of Maximus, who fired a ki blast towards its head, its head exploded as Drax casually picked up his weapons, "Punk ass Decepticon" he spat as he looked to where Rocket was still fighting with Shockwave.
Maximus ran forward and punched Shockwave in the chest, Rocket held onto Shockwaves head for dear life as he flayed and tried in vain to shake off the racoon. Maximus grabbed another gun lying around and shouted for Rocket to catch, Rocket aimed at Shockwaves eye with his gun and grinned, "Sweet dreams big guy!" he shouted as he shot several blasts into Shockwaves eye, destroying it. Shockwave roared in pain as Rocket jumped off him as Shockwave stumbled around blindly.
"I can't see! You filthy fleshy scum!" shouted Shockwave as the others backed off from him as he started shooting in random directions, the Driller roared and moved forward, he climbed inside it as the monster started making its way towards the others.
"We gotta move!" shouted Maximus as he and the others quickly started running, they could hear the Driller roaring as it chased after them.
"Aye I second that!" shouted Rocket as the Driller dug through the ground chasing after them as they ran for their lives, it dug into the ground and tore the earth apart around them as it tried to body slam into them, they saw Ridley fly overhead and Rocket shot at him before he could react, Ridley roared in frustration as he flew away.
The Driller stopped following after Maximus and the others and started making its way towards a large crater in the ground.
"It's heading for the citadel!" shouted Rocket as Drax narrowed his eyes, Maximus looked confused and he could see several more Pirate ships heading in the same direction.
"We got to go there and help them!" he said as Drax and Rocket looked to each other before nodding, Anna twirled her sword and grinned at him.
"Lead the way then" she said as he nodded and ran in the direction of the citadel with the others running with him

Inside the Entrance to the Chozo City
"Watch yourself Levy, don't go too far!" shouted Star Lord as he and Gamora shot and slashed their way through as many Pirate troopers as they could, ahead of them was Groot roaring loudly as he punched and smashed away any Pirates or Decepticons that came close.
"Yeah sorry!" she shouted nervously as she aimed the gun Star Lord had given her and fired a shot directly into one troopers head, its head exploded as she looked surprised and she ran towards them with a panicked expression on her face.
"This is insane!" she shouted as more Pirates appeared, Star Lord groaned as Groot punched his fists together and grinned.
"I'am Groot!" he shouted as Star Lord and Gamora both nodded in agreement.
"Yes but not right now Groot, once we get out of this then we can talk about that!" said Star Lord as they kept moving, they shot several more troopers before deciding to move out of the temple.
"How many more of these things are there?!" shouted Levy as Gamora and Star Lord shared a look, they could hear voices above them as more and more Pirates flooded into the area.
Then something started shooting at the Pirates, Star Lord and Gamora couldn't see where it was coming from and ducked, as did Levy. The Pirates tried to shoot at whatever was attacking them but clearly their attacker knew the inside of the temple more than they did.
The Pirates roared in frustration and backed away into another room leaving Star Lord, Gamora, Groot and Levy by themselves with the Pirates attacker who stepped out of the shadows.
It was a human wearing an orange and yellow metallic suit of armour with large shoulder pads and a green visor over their face that masked their eyes. One arm was armed with a green colored cannon that it pointed at the group as Star Lord raised his hands and motioned for it not to shoot.
"Wait, we mean you no harm. We received a distress call from the Chozo and got here as fast as we could, do you live here or where you sent as well?" he said as the armoured person looked at each of them individually before lowering its weapon and taking off its helmet.
Underneath was a very beautiful woman with long blonde hair tied in a ponytail with blue eyes, she gave them all a stern look and Levy had the feeling that this was someone you didn't want to get on the wrong side with.
"Where exactly are you from?" she said as Levy was surprised at how cold and distant her voice sounded, she noticed that the woman was almost inhuman in the way she kept eye contact with them, it was like someone was staring into her soul.
"My name is Star Lord, this is Gamora and Groot, and we are members of a team called the Guardians of the Galaxy. My two other members are up on the surface dealing with the Pirate threat along with some other friends of ours and this is Levy, she is the sister of one of our said friends" he said Gamora nodded to her while Levy waved nervously.
The woman looked over the four of them for a few seconds before relaxing, "My name is Samus Aran. I have been living on this planet for the past ten years of my live since the Pirates destroyed my home. If you are here to help then I'm afraid there is little you can do, the Chozo where betrayed by their supercomputer, the Mother Brain. She was the one who told the Pirates of our location" she said as Star Lord and the others looked confused.
"But if the Chozo created her then why would she betray them?" said Levy as Samus shook her head and frowned.
"I have no idea but I'm afraid there is nothing we can do, Mother Brain has locked down the entire inner city and there's no way to get back in, any Chozo still trapped inside are most likely dead" she said and Levy noticed that she trying not to show any emotion but Levy could see right through her.
"Well what do you suppose we do now" said Star Lord looking regretfully as Groot frowned before slamming his fists against the ground causing everyone to jump.
"I'am Groot!" he shouted, Samus looked up at him suspiciously as Star Lord chuckled to himself as Levy gave Samus a sympathetic look.
"Groot is right, Levy I promised to look after you for Maximus and I intend to do that, but we came here to help the Chozo and we have to do something. So I want you to go with Groot, he will take you back up to the surface and he will stick with you until you find Maximus again, tell him to leave this planet. We're going to try and save as many Chozo as we can, it's not much but it's the least we can do" he said looking to Samus who nodded and almost gave a smile.
"Thank you, you have my gratitude" she said as she put her helmet back on, Levy was picked up by Groot and he rested her on his shoulder.
"Take care of yourself Levy; let's hope we meet again someday" he said as she nodded and Groot started walking towards the exit of the building. Samus, Star Lord and Gamora turned to look into the catacombs beneath them.
"You sure about this?" said Samus as Star Lord grinned and armed his twin pistols as Gamora swung her sword.
"Trust me mam, we've been doing this for the past two years. I think we'll be ok, now let's move" he said as they ran into the main structure in the city of the Chozo.

Back on the Surface
Wesker and Reno stood glaring at Rydia as she slowly walked towards them, Reno growled and Wesker aimed his Killer 7 at her head.
"Even with Trance, you have no hope of beating us Rydia" he said but she could tell his voice spoke otherwise, she grinned and rushed forward. She yanked the gun out of his hand and threw it away before punching him, he dodged and kicked at her, and she caught his foot and kicked at him and dodged Reno as he tried to jump her.
"You'll have to do better than that guys" she said as she jumped and spun over them with two twin blades coming out of her arms, she swung at them while spinning, cutting through Wesker's stomach and leaving a large cut, drawing blood as he grunted.
He ran forward and tackled her as Reno ran forward, Wesker smashed her against a nearby rock but she slammed her elbow down on his neck and kicked at Reno before he could reach her, she then lifted up Wesker and kicked him away.
Wesker growled in frustration and started punching at her at superhuman speed; Rydia caught and blocked every attack as Reno circled around them waiting for a moment to attack. Then Rydia frowned and spun round to catch in incoming fist, she found herself looking into the eyes of Android 19.
She blocked the androids attack but gave Wesker the chance to punch her in the face; she jumped away and backed off as her three enemies grinned evilly at her.
Then to make things even worse Slogra and Gaibon showed up, she looked round nervously as they all slowly approached her.
"This isn't fair Wesker, this is between you and me" she said trying to get him to fight her one on one but he ignored her.
"On the contrary Rydia, you brought this on yourself" he said before clicking his fingers, the five of them charged towards her as she frowned and clenched her fists. Wesker was the first to attack, he slammed into her as they rolled down a nearby hill with the others following.
She punched him as he spun round before tackling her to the ground, he grabbed a nearby piece of rubble which he used like a club, "Weak" he said as he brought it down on top of her, she smashed through it like it was nothing giving her time to pull out a dagger and stab him as he swung at her with his other arm.
"Puny" she said as she punched him and sent him tumbling to the ground as she ran forward and stabbed him through the shoulder before twisting his arm and elbowing him the face.
"Waste of space" she snarled as she grabbed him and threw him away as Slogra stabbed down at her.
She caught his spear and kicked him the face before grabbing Android 19 as he tried to tackle her, she lifted him up and kicked him in the jaw and sent him flying as Reno charged towards her.
"All of this for one pathetic little child?" said Wesker as he shot at Rydia, she did several back flips and caught Android 19 between her legs, she then flipped him over and sent him flying into Wesker.
Reno roared as he ran forward and tried to spear Rydia with his horns as Gaibon fired several fireballs towards her.
She blocked his attack but Slogra jumped forward and punched her on the face as Wesker grabbed her and tried to stab her, she moved so that Android 19 punched Wesker in the face before suplexing Wesker and then slashed Reno across the chest and fired a ki blast at Gaibon causing him to crash to the ground.
Not very far away from the battle was Aht, she was fighting against several Pirate troopers, she jumped and flipped out of the way of their attacks as she laid some of her traps on the ground, she played a small tune on her flute and a fiery tile appeared on the ground, when one of the Pirates walked over it, it burst into flames.
Wesker slashed Rydia across the back with a concealed knife under his sleeve, as Slogra slashed her across the chest with his spear, she grunted in pain before Wesker grabbed her by the head and threw her over him before roundhouse kicking her in the face, causing her lip to burst and several teeth to fly out.
"Rydia!" Wesker heard Aht shout and he turned round to see her still fighting the Pirates next to some rubble of a destroyed Pirate ship, he motioned for Slogra to kill her as Rydia's eyes widened in fear.
Android 19 punched her in the gut before elbowing her in the face as Wesker aimed and fired a blast from his hand, it smashed into her and sent her flying several feet before crashing, she casually spat out a tooth as she groaned in pain.
"Rydia please get up!" shouted Aht as Slogra slashed at her, she dodged but the back of the spear caught her on the jaw and she collapsed to the floor in pain.
He was about to stab at her when a hand grabbed his spear and wretched it from his grip, "Get the hell away from my partner" said Maximus calmly as he punched Slogra in the face as Aht looked shocked before crying with joy and leaping into his arms.
"Max! You're ok!" she shouted as he smiled before looking at her seriously as Anna walked up next to him.
"Let's get to work" he said glaring down at Wesker and the others, Wesker noticed him and raised his arms.
"Well, well, well the rat finally shows himself. Now be a good boy and stay still!" he shouted as he ran forward, he tried to hit Maximus but he dodged as Aht transformed back into his gauntlets.
"Sorry never was good at following orders" said Maximus as Anna slashed at Wesker forcing him to jump back to avoid being cleaved in two.
"Now then let's even these odds!" he shouted as he ran forward and head butted Android 19 who cried out in shock as Rydia grinned and summoned her claymores again, Wesker growled loudly as he jumped over to her as Anna stepped in front of Reno, stopping him from joining Wesker.
"Now, now sweetheart, ganging up is no way to treat a lady" she said as she swung her sword and cleaved off one of his horns, he whined in pain and backed off as Maximus shouted to her.
"No wait Anna! He's my friend, so don't kill him!" shouted Maximus as Anna rolled her eyes.
"You're the boss!" she shouted as she jumped out of the way of Reno's claws and flipped over him as he tried to charge her.
Maximus caught Slogra's fist and twisted it before pulling sharply and elbowing Slogra in the face, he then kneed him hard in the gut and slammed both of his fists down on his head.
Rydia dodged one of Wesker's attacks and deflected a blast from Android 19 and she leapt upwards and stabbed through Gaibons wing, Gaibon shrieked loudly as he crashed to the ground.
"Just give up Wesker, now tell me how to fix Reno!" shouted Rydia as Wesker growled and grabbed her face with his hand and smashed her into the ground.
"Rydia!" shouted Maximus as Wesker dragged her across the ground before throwing her into the rubble of a crashed Pirate ship.
"Still a little lost girl, remember when I found you and plucked your dying corpse from your dead mothers hands as me and my friends burnt your town to the ground to make way for our Empire? Then they brought you back into this world and you have repaid them with nothing but disappointment, Reno is mine now Rydia and he is far beyond your help. After I kill you, I'll take Maximus and take what I want from him, and then I'll gut him in front of his sister and his friends and the whole fucking city!" he snarled as Rydia glared at him and grabbed his arm, before ramming her fist into his stomach.
"You know something Wesker; you've always been nothing more than a little bitch. Now go and slob all over Mateus' cock like the dog you are" she spat as she blasted him in the stomach with a ki blast sending him flying off her and landing with a crash.
Wesker coughed up blood as he pulled out a syringe filled with the T-virus and injected it into him, his wound started to slowly heal as he stood up, Rydia rolled her eyes and started to power up with her hair floating like she was underwater.
"Give it up Wesker, you're no match for me" she snarled as he ran forward and punched at her, she caught his fists and twisted them before throwing him over her, Maximus leapt forward and pinned him to the ground, he looked up at Rydia with a sombre look.
"No wait Rydia, send him back to the Emperor, he's beaten and wounded. Let him go to his master and tell him that he is next" he said looking down at Wesker with a grin as Wesker pulled out a syringe and stabbed it into Maximus neck.
"No-one commands me!" shouted Wesker as Maximus pulled out the syringe and fell to the floor coughing as he felt the virus go through him.
Rydia grabbed Wesker and threw him away as she bend down and tried to help Maximus who was screaming in pain, "Max, please try to calm down, you're ok and I'm going to help you now relax" she said in a panicked voice as he screamed and grabbed his head.
"No, no get out of my head!" he shouted as Rydia turned round to Wesker and marched over to him before grabbing him by the scuff of the neck and lifting him up to face her.
"What did you do?" said Rydia as Wesker chuckled darkly as he looked up at her through his broken sunglasses.
"Nothing, I've just given the boy a little medicine" he said with a dark look as Maximus started flailing around like he was blind.
"Max! What's wrong, why can't I resonate with you! Where are you, you're fading away, Max!" shouted Aht in his mind as Maximus fell to his knees.
"Yeah go on Max, tell her where you are. I know what you're trying to do and it won't work, the virus is affecting your immune system, right now you're experiencing all the pain your wounds would have caused you if not for your healing factor. Is it a strange feeling Max? Pain, such great pain, like a thousand tiny needles sticking into every single nerve in your body and every single one of them is screaming, go on Max. Scream! Scream!" the voice in his head shouted as he yelled at the top of his lungs.
His vision became blurry and everything started to become distorted, all he could see was blurry shapes that looked like Wesker as black smoke surrounded him, he closed his eyes and tried to push the pain away from him.
"Stop trying to hide it Max! Do it, unleash your inner rage and take out the bastard that is hurting your friends!" the voice shouted as Anna was pinned to the ground by Reno who roared in her face.
"Well aren't you animal?" she said with a smirk as he snarled at her, she produced a syringe that she had pulled from her pocket and stabbed him in the neck, "But I don't like it when men play rough" she said as he slumped over unconscious.
Wesker kicked Rydia away as he watched Maximus struggle to his feet, he was screaming as he heard loud footsteps, "I'am Groot!" he heard before a large fist smashed into Wesker and sent him flying.
"Max!" shouted Levy as she jumped down from Groot's shoulder and tried to run to him.
"No Levy, stay back!" shouted Eleanor as Rydia grabbed her and stopped her as Anna drove her sword through Android 19, the android yelled as it backed off and jumped away as Anna grabbed Rydia' arm and tried to pull her back.
"Come on, we have to leave him. The virus is spreading through him but he's trying to fight it, the side effects could be catastrophic!" she shouted as Rydia glared at her.
"How do you know so much and who are you anyway?" she said as Anna sheathed her sword and looked down at the ground regretfully.
"It doesn't matter, what's important is that we get away from him. Listen to me, please I've seen what happens to people who reject something like this" she said as Levy shook her head and she pulled away from Rydia.
"I'm not leaving him" she said as she rushed towards him as Rydia ran after her, Anna tried to follow but was pinned to the ground by Slogra from behind, she cried in pain as he drove his spear through her shoulder.
"Going somewhere my pretty little locust?" he snarled as Anna grinned and pulled a knife from under her wrist and stabbed him in the eye, he squawked in pain as he flayed around as she tripped him up.
Aht transformed back into her human form as Levy reached Maximus, she saw that his eyes had changed into yellow reptile like eyes and his face had become very veiny as he looked around like he was lost, Rydia was about to reach them when she felt a gun being placed against her head, "You die now!" shouted Wesker.
"Levy, Aht, Eleanor get out of here now!" she shouted as Wesker pressed his gun even closer to her head.
Maximus' head continued to spin, all he could see were black shapes with several black tendrils coming out from them.
"We're am I? I don't know what's going on! Help, someone help!" he shouted in his mind as the other voice started screaming at him as everything started to fade away.
"Go on! Do it! I'm right here, kill me or kill them all!" the voice shouted as Maximus screamed and rushed forward and rammed his fist straight through Wesker's chest, he grinned as Wesker looked shocked. Then the awful realisation hit him like a thousand bricks, it was Rydia.
She looked down at the arm now going through her chest with a look of shock and confusion on her face as she looked up at him with blood seeping out of her mouth, "No" he whispered as his eyes widened.
Before she could say anything there was a gun shot and his face was splattered with her blood as a bullet went through the side of her head, she fell back and landed to the ground with blood gushing out her head as Wesker grinned and cocked his gun and aimed at Maximus.
"Guess I didn't need to kill her after all, you did a fine job Max. The Emperor will be proud of you, now stay still while I do the same to your sister and your friends" said Wesker as Maximus fell to his knees.
"Rydia" he said as he picked her up and rested her head on his knee, he didn't care about the blood, all he could hear was Levy and Aht's screams as they looked at him in horror. He closed his eyes as tears seeped out and screamed, he screamed at the top of his lungs as the ground cracked and shattered around him.
"No! No, not like this, I killed her. I killed my friend! How could I let this happen, I won't let it happen again, I have too…..I must…Kill, kill! Kill!" he shouted in his mind as a force of energy shot out form him knocking everyone around him to their knees.
Wesker and Slogra stopped what they were doing as a huge purple aura exploded from Maximus, he kept screaming as his muscles became very ripped and defined as his hair started to float and become spiky, turning a deep shade of purple as his eyes became like that of a reptile with small patches of scales appearing under his eyes.
The Android 19 laughed wildly before rushing forward and grabbing Maximus' hands, "Do not try to resist yes, I will absorb all of your energy now" it said in its weird childlike voice as Maximus kept his eyes completely focused on Wesker, he didn't notice the Android trying to absorb his energy until it started to scream in pain.
"System malfunctioning! Too much energy is being absorbed, primary life systems are being overrun with too much energy, withdraw! Withdraw!" it shouted in a panicked voice as Maximus slowly tore his hand away from its, ripping its hand off in the process.
"Final Crusher" he said calmly as he fired a ki blast at the androids head, completely disintegrating it as it's now headless body collapsed to the ground.
"Wesker!" he shouted as he rushed forward at a speed even Wesker couldn't comprehend and punched Wesker as hard as he could in the jaw, Wesker's glasses shattered into a million pieces as he looked shocked at Maximus before being sent flying by another punch, Maximus flew after him and kept hitting him, he sent him flying through cliff faces and rocks, destroying Pirates troopers in the process.
"You killed her, I'll kill you!" he shouted as he pinned Wesker to the ground, both Ridley and Shockwave appeared and tried to attack him.
Shockwave swung at Maximus who dodged and then leapt forward tore off Shockwaves cannon and used it on Ridley, sending him crashing into a nearby wall burnt and in pieces, he leapt up and cleaved open Shockwaves head and tore out his eye with his hands as Wesker struggled to get to his feet.
"His power is incredible" he whispered as Maximus jumped off Shockwave who collapsed and went still, Maximus scowled at Wesker with a look of pure hatred as he started making his way towards him, Wesker put on a brave face and clenched his fists and rolled his neck and shoulders as Maximus charged toward him.
The two started trading blows at unnatural speeds as they both flew into the air, "I honestly don't know what you're complaining about, now you can finally be of use to us. This power you have is incredible, join me and together the universe could be yours" said Wesker as Maximus' eyes widened and he punched him in the face.
"Shut up!" he shouted as he brought both of his fists down on Wesker's neck causing him to spit out blood as he kicked him away, "Shut up!" he shouted again as Wesker groaned and quickly injected himself with more T-Virus.
"All right then, have it your way. I was tired of playing this game anyway but you're coming back with me, dead or alive it really makes no difference to me" he shouted as he rushed forward and punched Maximus in the face, he blinked and then looked horrified as Maximus didn't even flinch, he calmly grabbed Wesker's arm and tore it off like it was made of nothing.
Wesker looked down at where his arm used to be as he collapsed to his knees, "This can't be, you can't…" he said as Maximus aimed his hand towards Wesker as a ki blast started to manifest in his hand.
"I'm not going to kill you quickly Wesker, I'am going so savour every single once of my pain onto you and then when you are practically begging for death will I finally kill you and then I will kill you slowly and very, very painfully" he said with a sadistic grin in a voice Wesker didn't recognise.
"I…Who are you?" he said as black tendrils shot out from Maximus back as he grinned evilly.
"I'am the one who is now in control of this body, he is has lost himself in his sea of grief, how pathetic. It was easy really though, the virus you had given him weakened his immune system and in his state of panic I was able to alter his mind and he thought he had destroyed a threat but really it couldn't have been any different. Ohhhhhhh, the shear look of terror on his face as he watched his friend collapse dead because of him was…breath-taking, then all I had to do was wait until his little temper tantrum had ended and wah la, here I'am" he said as his hair started to darken.
"Maximus! Where are you!" shouted Levy as Aht stared down at Rydia's body in shock, her eyes were now closed, but that didn't mask the huge hole in her chest and blood slowly dripping out from the hole in her head.
"We've got to move Levy, come on! You two Aht and Eleanor" shouted Anna as she grabbed Aht's hand and pulled her away from Rydia.
"But where did you come from? Maximus is a not a violent creature, as much as we wanted him to be, how did you come into existence?" said Wesker, his face was pale and he was losing blood fast.
"Dammit, my regeneration is taking too long, if he tries something he'll kill me!" he said in his head as his eyes widened as numerous black tentacles shot out from Maximus back as he grinned evilly.
"Do you really think I'm going to tell you? Anyway, enough talk, die now!" he shouted as the tentacles shot forward, before they could reach Wesker Slogra lunged forward and impaled Maximus through the chest, as he cried in pain Maximus' eyes widened as they returned to normal.
He fell to his knees as he coughed out blood, "Fuck you, you made me lose my focus shithead. Now we're both going to die unless you regenerate!" came a voice from his mouth that didn't belong to him, Maximus grinned as he coughed out more blood.
"That's the idea, if I have to die to stop you, then so be it" he said as he fell onto his back, blood shot out from his mouth as he stared up at the sky.
"But he killed Rydia!" shouted his other self as Maximus frowned and punched himself in the gut, causing both he and his other self to cry out in pain.
"No, you killed Rydia and now it's time for you to die" he said with a smile as he heard his other side yell loudly, black smoke shot out from him for a few seconds before being sucked back inside him, his hair and eyes returned to normal as he closed his eyes.
"Rydia, sorry I let you down" he whispered as Wesker stood up and looked to Slogra.
"Get him and his friends to Radiant Garden now" he said harshly as Slogra nodded as Levy fell to her knees in shock as Aht looked horrified.
"Max, what are you?"
To Be Continued
End of Part 1
Profiles (Age, Origin)
Anna- (23) Her past is just as mysterious as her personality, many say she was raised by a family of field mice that lived in a tornado or she could just be a woman who knows how to get around a lot, despite this she is an excellent warrior and many men, and others, have fallen victim to her curves and her blades.
Right yeah so sorry this took so long, had stuff to do but that's life. Overall I like some things about this chapter but to be honest I think I might have built up this finale a bit too much. The appearances of the Guardians and Samus was a bit underwhelming but they will show up again fairly soon, oh and Anna is another OC of mine.
