Rockman ZW: Genesis

Chapter 53: Limit Breaker


Lightning strikes everywhere while the two groups begin their attacks. Wraith changes his path suddenly as he heads directly towards Manabu who is focused on the Boanerges Brothers at the moment. Wraith jumps into the air as he prepares to strike catching Manabu's corner vision, but a bit too late. He prepares for the worst before Forte slams into Wraith, throwing him across the battlefield. While Forte is focused on Wraith the two electric brothers attempt to overtake him by rushing him. Manabu slides in front of the path of the Boanerges Brothers before drawing both of his sabers. The sabers shoot a shockwave at the two that throws them back even further than Wraith.

"We have to keep them away from the Altsien at any cost!" Manabu tells Forte as the base begins to pass them by.

"I will take the brothers! You take Wraith!" Forte tells him while taking to the air. Manabu quickly rushes towards Wraith while leaving the base behind.

"I hope those two will survive this fight…" Lariat thinks to herself while trying to stay calm.

"Do you two honestly think you are the only ones to command the currents of the sky? I will prove you wrong!" Forte shouts before his hands begin to spark. He throws his arms out to his side before raising his hands into the air with his palms upwards. As electricity shoots into the sky the storm begins to get even worse, only most of the lightning strikes the Boanerges Brothers. After a few strikes the brothers aim their buster swords towards Forte who is still hovering in the sky. As the lightning strikes them their swords act as cannons which shoots the lightning bolts back at Forte. While dodging the lightning Forte stops his electric attacks.

"Do not temp us with our own element!" Tyzar shouts to Forte who scoffs at their reply.

Manabu leaps into the air while spinning his left saber behind his back. He uses the spinning saber as if he was cutting down a tree. He slashes first with his right saber as Wraith goes to block it. Manabu then comes up from below with his left saber which leaves a deep cut in Wraith's black armor. Angered by this attack Wraith charges forward which throws Manabu off balance. He staggers backwards as Wraith lunges forward as if his jagged sword was a heavy lance. Manabu barely moves to his right as the sword moves between his armpit. He then grabs Wraith's arm before suddenly snapping it downwards.

"You are wasting your time red one!" Wraith tells him while pulling his arm back.

"I could say the same about you black one!" Manabu snaps back before he places his twin sabers back on his waist belt. He then moves his right hand over towards his saber katana. Manabu looks over to his left to see the Altsien base pass between his and Forte's fight. At that moment the Tera Knights leap into the air towards the base. Forte flies towards the brothers while firing his buster cannon at their backs. Ryzar is shot in the back as Tyzar begins to slash at the base wildly. Forte clings to Tyzar's back before unleashing a burst of flames that engulfs the Tera Knight and sends him falling to the ground. On the other side Wraith attempts to attack the base from the back side but finds Manabu in his path every time he changes position.

"I will not let you harm this base!" Manabu shouts while leaping towards Wraith. As he moves closer to the dark knight he takes his katana from its sheath to swing once towards Wraith. He moves just in time to see the saber katana pass directly in front of his face.

"Impressive…" Wraith comments while getting into a fighting stance by raising his jagged blade just above his view. Manabu is curious on this attack pattern as he gets ready for another attack.

"Is there anyway we can support them?" Lariat asks the crew while sitting there feeling helpless.

"If we used our weapons now we would drastically reduce our speed, we can't help them!" the weapons specialist informs her.

"Then maintain the current course to City One…" she says while feeling defeated.

Outside of the base Manabu and Forte are finding it harder and harder by the minute to defend the base. The Tera Knights are getting closer and closer each time they attack. In the distance they can spot the city that they have been rushing towards. Instantly after spotting the city the three knights attack the base at the same time. The Boanerges Brothers both send an electric wave that goes throughout the entire base. It stops for a moment before Wraith leaps onto the command bridges viewing area. Instantly he can see inside of the bridge where Lariat and the rest are taking notice of him. He pulls his sword back to attack before Forte and Manabu attack him from both sides. Wraith falls to the metal hull of the base as his sword slides off of the side. The Boanerges brothers take notice that the base is moving once again as they prepare another wave of electricity. Forte suddenly comes crashing down on them as Wraith's body follows after. The base passes by them finally as the Tera Knights are enraged by this.

"No more playing around!" Ryzar shouts before electricity shoots from his body. Tyzar soon does the same thing before Wraith stands to his feet. He holds his right hand to his side before his sword appears in his hand again. He then disappears as Forte's eyes open wide.

"Manabu! Be careful!" Forte calls to him before noticing a presence behind him.

Forte instantly drops to the sand below as Wraith did the same as before, only this time he looks down to see Forte aiming his buster cannon directly at his chest. With a violent blast Wraith is sent flying into the air as Forte stands to his feet. Manabu draws his two sabers before the brothers charge forward with their buster swords high in the air. They stop suddenly while turning around, using the momentum from the stop to swing their swords towards Manabu. This sends two massive waves of electricity towards Manabu who is caught off guard by this. As he is hit he loses his two sabers while most of his armor is damaged and cracked.

"Manabu!" Forte calls to him before flying towards him. Manabu barely manages to stagger to his feet while the Boanerges Brothers close in for the kill. They run towards him again in attempt to attack with the same move as before.

"Do not… underestimate me!" Manabu yells before the brothers swing again. Right as the two massive waves are about to hit Manabu he disappears from sight shocking even Forte. Ryzar and Tyzar are suddenly attacked from behind as they fly forward face first to the ground. There is a massive cut in their backs as Manabu stands behind them with his saber katana ready to attack again.

"It might be best… to withdraw for now…" Tyzar suggests as Wraith walks up while holding his right arm.

"I agree… the world must not know of the Tera Knights true purpose…" he says before disappearing completely. A blast of lightning hit's the brothers before they disappear as well.

"I guess we won…" Manabu whispers before falling to the ground while losing his form. Forte runs up to him as he takes notice to the Altsien base arriving finally at City One. He also takes notice to a small amount of groups heading towards the base as well. He picks up Manabu before taking to the sky again. While flying over the Altsien he notices that they are attempting to take over the base. He flies into the base before returning outside without Manabu in his arms. He heads to the front of the base before flying down in front of the groups.

"What are you trying to do here?" he asks them as he lands. There are three groups that contain eight in each. One group has rockets with heavy armor that looks like it could even take a hit from Forte's buster cannon. They are wearing brown and tan armor with a mask that leaves their eyes free. The other two groups are wearing not so heavy looking armor that is a red color with tan colored helmets. The first group rushes up to Forte with their assault rifles aimed at his head.

"Stand down robot! We have been ordered to search this base!" the one in the lead commands Forte.

"You must be joking… if you really think those little pea shooters can harm me…" Forte returns as the three groups take a step back.

"Stop this now!" Lariat's voice comes from behind as she and her ninja's leap off of the base. Everyone but Forte seemed to be in awe at this sight.

"Who are you?!" the soldier asks as he takes aim.

"I am Lariat, the one in charge of this base at the moment. We mean you no harm… we seek repairs and rest after a long journey here… please allow us to stay here at City One." Lariat says as she and her ninja's bow before them.

"Out of the question! We cannot allow you in our city no matter what!" the soldier shouts back in reply.

"But the Altsien cannot take another long trip!" Lariat continues.

"Did you say… Altsien…? Where is Haley?" the soldier questions as he drops his weapon to his right side.

"She is inside of the base resting at the moment. She has had a very long trip here…" Lariat replies while looking at Forte.

"Sir, miss Haley is here with the Altsien. However it is extremely damaged." the soldier speaks into his communicator while turning around.

"Understood. Show them the way…" a deep voice replies over the communicator.

"Yes sir." the soldier replies before the link is cut.

"What did your leader say?" Lariat asks as he walks closer to her with his men directly behind him.

"I request permission to let two of my men drive your base to a safe place. We will not harm you, you have my word." the soldier assures her as she agrees.

"How did he know that the Altsien requires two drivers…?" Forte thinks to himself while following them inside of the base. Very shortly after the base begins to move to the left behind the city. Soon the sand moves away revealing an underground passage that the drivers follow. As soon as they are in the passage the large door closes behind them.
