Neo Arcadian Base

"Sir, it seems that Blizzack Staggeroff has been defeated in battle, our forces are rapidly dwindling right now." Hanumachine appeared on the monitor to report to Copy X.

"How is t-t-the Resistance holding up?"

"It seems that their main defense force, Zero and the two Guardians are getting tired. However, it seems that they still have enough energy left to defeat our soldiers."

"What about the b-b-black Maverick?"

"It seems that he gains more energy with every single soldier he destroys, we won't be able to keep up this attack for long."

"S-S-Stay there, Hanumachine, I'm s-s-sending out Project M-M-Metal to dispose of them. After t-t-that you should be able to d-d-dispose of the Resistance."

"You're going to release that monster? He'll destroy everything."

"E-E-Exactly." Copy X smiled and Hanumachine nervously canceled the communications.

"All soldiers retreat from the area, Project Metal is going to be released to dispose of the enemies." Hanumachine ordered all the soldiers to retreat so that they don't get caught in the crossfire.

Battle Field

"That's strange, the Neo Arcadian army retreated. Think Harpuia could have defeated the final general?" Fefnir looked around to see the battle field empty.

"I think they would have told us if Harpuia came back, besides when we defeated the other generals, the pantheons just went offline." Leviathan too was a bit surprised at the sudden calmness.

"Keep your guards up I don't like this one bit." Just as Zero finished saying that, the Operators spoke to them.

"Be careful, there seems to be some very strange readings coming to your area."

"Roger that, we'll stay alert." Forte just finished speaking when the ground started shaking. The four reploids moved away when a huge mechaniloid emerged from the ground. It was round in shape with huge arms and feet. It had one red eye in the center of its round body and everything else was covered in thick steel armor.

What the heck? That looks just like the devils that Dr. Wily use to build, except it looks a lot bigger and it has armor on it.

"Alright, guys, let's destroy this thing." Fefnir attacked rapidly with his twin buster, but the Devil seems unharmed. "What? How's that possible?"

The Metal Devil turned his arm into a machine gun and aimed it at the four reploids. The area of the attack was too wide and no one was able to dodge it. The Metal Devil grabbed Leviathan and attempted to crush her with its hands.

"You won't be able to beat me that easily, TAKE THIS!" Leviathan jabbed her spear on its huge arm, freezing it. She managed to slip out and then it defrosted.

"We need to all attack at once to take that monster down." Forte waited for the others to stand up before he gave the signal. "NOW!"

Fefnir separated his twin buster and shoots rapid tiny blasts at the Devil. Zero charges up his Z-Buster. Leviathan spins her staff and sends pieces of ice flying in that direction. Forte transforms his hands into busters and shoots as well. The Metal Devil transforms his arm into a huge shield and blocks all the attacks.

"Damn it. There's no way we can scratch him if he managed to block all of that." Fefnir was prepared to attack when a series of blasts shot him, knocking him down.

"There's got to be some way to beat him." Leviathan notices that the Metal Devil was only using one hand. It looks like it isn't using the hand that I froze. Wait! That might be how to defeat it.

"I'll go and try to freeze the armor to weaken it, after that, you guys go and start attacking." Leviathan charged with her staff in hand and froze the left and right leg. The Metal Devil smashed her down with its hands, but Leviathan managed to freeze those and escape. She tried to attack the body but its eyes started glowing and knocked her away with a glowing laser.

"Are you okay?" Forte, Zero, and Fefnir saw the huge amount of damage that Leviathan took from the attacks.

"I'll live," Leviathan raised her staff up for one final attack. "FROST DRAGON!" The icy dragon appeared and went straight into the Metal Devil's chest, completely freezing it.

"Leviathan, you need to retreat now or we won't be able to repair the damages." The operators have been watching the battle and needed to pull Leviathan out.

"I guess I've done enough to help them, transfer me." Leviathan disappeared from the battlefield, leaving the three reploids to battle.

"Alright, one attack should be able to finish it." Fefnir combined his twin busters and Forte combined his two busters as well. They both fired one huge blast, and were later followed by Zero with his Z-Saber. After Zero's blade met the metal monster it broke into pieces and large scraps of metal fell on the battle field.

"Looks like it's finally down, lets go back for now." Zero and Fefnir prepared to leave but Forte noticed something funny.

"Look at the metal, it seems to be moving." The other two reploids stopped and noticed it too. The metal turned into a gooey grey substance and merged together to create a smooth, round, grey devil (think Bio-Devil from the X series).

"Looks like it isn't over yet," Zero got his saber out and slashed off the Devil's hand. However, it just reformed right after and grabbed onto Zero. Zero struggled under the attack and managed to cut himself free with the Z-Saber.

"It seems to have regenerating abilities; we need to attack the eye to end this." Fefnir, and Zero raised their busters after Forte said this and attacked. The Metal Devil seemed to just take the attack and regenerate right after.

"Its eyes are being protected by a clear layer of whatever it's made out of; this isn't going to be easy." Forte transformed both his arms into blades and charged the Metal Devil while Fefnir and Zero gave him cover fire.

The Metal Devil split into pieces before Forte could attack and bombarded the three reploids. It reformed behind Fefnir and swiped him from behind. The three reploids ran to the other side to put some distance between them and the Metal Devil.

"Wait, I think I have an idea, you two make sure that he doesn't split up again and try to keep him busy." Zero got his Z-Saber out and Fefnir and Harpuia also got ready for close distance combat.

"Why do you and Forte get all the action? I want to deal the finishing attack." Fefnir put his busters away and was prepared to attack.

"You're doing something very important right now, if any one of us screws up, it'll be the one dealing the finishing attack to us."

"Alright then, tell us when you're ready."

"NOW!" Fefnir, Zero, and Forte charged the Devil. Forte used his sabers to slash at the left hand while Fefnir used his arms to attack the right hand. They managed to destroy it, but it kept on reforming. Forte started spinning, and managed to destroy it everytime it reformed. Fefnir managed to find the perfect spot to take out the arm with one shot and started shooting.

Zero charged for the eye and was about to deal the finishing blow, but was knocked back by the laser attack it used on Leviathan. This isn't over yet, I still have one more trick Zero uses the Recoil Rod just as he touches, and skewers the Metal Devil's eyes with his Z-Saber.

It went straight through and the three reploids watches as it seemed to just evaporate into thin air after that attack.

"Well, it looks like we're in no shape to fight anymore, let's go back." They teleported back and went out of the battlefield.

Resistance Base

"Ciel, it seems that Hanumachine's forces have started attacking again, they've gone through the first line of defense, only six lines remain."

"What!? They started attacking again?" Ciel looked on the monitor as the Resistance soldiers fell. "This isn't good; none of those four are in any condition to be fighting. We better not tell them."

However, the four reploids overheard her, but realizes it's the truth and there's no way they can help out in their state.

"This really doesn't look good, it seems like we'll be defeated here." Fefnir winced as another Resistance soldier gets destroyed.

"There's still a chance we can survive, as long as Harpuia wins his battle." Forte didn't doubt that Harpuia would be able to win.

"Yeah, but the question is, do we have enough time till then?" Zero looked as another line Resistance soldier was killed.

"The second line of defense has been defeated, five lines left." The operator'ss voice could be heard from the other room.

"Come on, Harpuia, you can do it." Leviathan looked out the window, hoping that Harpuia will be able to defeat Hanumachine before they run out of time.
