Bass stood there in his gundam which resembled him, he smirked to himself as he sat in the cockpit.
Bass - "X, You are a fool. Reploids are the future, you and Zero are both moronic idiots blinded by human lies. I have realised Commander Sigma's dream of bringing supreme happiness to the reploids, We have our own minds X! We should not be controlled by the humans like mindless puppets!!"
X - "That's not true! We serve the humans in co-existence and in harmony, it is our choice to serve them! And my choice is to protect them from harm!"
Zero - "Each person, and reploid controls their own destiny, Bass, You are too blinded by your own selfish plans of conquest. Now it has sealed your fate...."
Duo - "And that's Death."
Bass - "Fools, I cannot be destroyed by the likes of you!"
X - "Yeah, well, Guess what. That's what Vile thought, and He's dead."
Zero - "Time to die Bass."
Zero and Wu-Fei stood up from trying to fix HeavyArms and SandRock, but they couldn't do it in that short of time and they walked over to X and DeathScythe. Bass narrowed his eyes as on the gundam they began to glow a dull black and silverish color.
Bass ran at Duo with his energy sabre, he moved in close as DeathScythe came towards his in a horizontal slash towards Bass, Bass saw this easily and ducked, still running as he lunged forwards to stab DeathScythe in the middle of it's torso, but was stopped as DeathScythe brought the staff portion of his scythe down on Bass' neck and knocked him to the ground. Bass growled over the intercom as he leapt upwards, lifting DeathScythe into the air as he threw him across the arena towards Altron who was dashing towards him, Altron moved to the left slightly and avoided DeathScythe but got caught and clotheslined by part of the long edge of DeathScythe's scythe. Altron and DeathScythe then went tumbling backwards as they crashed across the cement floor. X and Zero were alone again as Wu-Fei had been knocked unconscious in Altron after hitting his head on the control panel. Duo was a bit stunned and pinned down by Altron so he couldn't get up for a little bit. X turned to Bass and narrowed his eyes as he began to charge his cannon. Zero was slightly distracted by something on his monitor as he saw two small children doing a dance and become one and then he said "Righteous Death Super Gotenks!".
X - "Zero!! Turn off cartoons! We're in battle!"
Zero - "S..sorry X, it just turned on automatically."
Zero then turned it off as he wondered how he turned it on. He then rushed infront of X since Bass had got back up and was charging his cannon also, he had fully charge it as Zero got there, Zero turned and then ran at Bass, Bass fired off a wave of the plasma as Zero brought his sabre down onto the blast, their was a conflict of energy as it knocked Zero off to the right which he landed on his feet and rushed Bass again, X was fully charged now. Zero swiped at Bass but Bass ducked and uppercutted Zero in the jaw which sent him stumbling back a few feet. This pissed Zero off, he then put away his sabre, Bass saw this as he put away his sabre and shield also. They were going to fist fight. Bass came in quick and grasped Zero's right arm as he took him over his shoulder and threw him. Forgetting about X, Bass was swiftly reminded that the reploid was still there when X got him in a choke hold from behind. Bass struggled slightly since he was in no position to move or fight back as Zero unsheathed his sabre and came in quickly, Bass saw it and slipped from X's grasp miraculously and grabbed X's leg and threw him into the air. Bass then slid backwards as Zero came in towards him. X flew through the air and was heard saying through the comm channel "W..Whhhoooaaaa!" As Zero saw this he felt kind of stupid since they were all now battling without weapons, he sheathed the sabre again as he rushed towards bass, sliding across the ground he lifted his right leg as he slammed it into Bass' face which sent him flying backwards. At the same time, X came flying down and smashing into Bass, landing on him he then got him pinned to the ground as Zero walked over to Bass. Bass shouted through the comm channel for them to give mercy but they couldn't since they had to save the humans from his harm. DeathScythe walked over to them also as Zero raised his fist into the air, as he brought it down with massive force it smashed right through Bass' head as it blew up, The cockpit doors burst open as Bass jumped out and began to run off. X and Zero were pre-occupied with the Bass gundam so DeathScythe turned, and with one single sweep of his scythe he caught Bass. The energy scythe hit Bass hard as he blew up into a small ball of flames and Duo chuckled from inside DeathScythe. As DeathScythe walked back to X and Zero a eerie voice spoke from out of nowhere to them.
????? - "Your good...Let's see you survive this."
X - "Wha...Whhhhoooaaaa!"
The small area around DeathScythe, X, Zero, and the now destroyed Bass gundam collapsed inwards causing the three pilots to plumett down away from their three disabled friends. They fell downwards, not seeing anything but blackness, then the tunnel lit up quickly, they all blinked as they saw sharp spikes in various locations, they shifted to the middle, to the right, to the left, and so on as the spikes seemed to become more dense. X decided this was enough as he raised his blaster and began to blow away the spikes and Zero and DeathScythe began slicing the spikes. As they finally stopped they landed on their feet on some sort of platform floating in the middle of a big blackness, nothing but black and the tunnel above them. A red outline then appeared out of nowhere and from the shadows stepped DeathScythe, Duo's eyes went wide, there was another DeathScythe.
Duo - "He's mine! I'm taking him down guys!"
Duo rushed forth at DeathScythe, bring his scythe up as he slashed down at it, the DeathScythe vanished, Reappeared behind Duo, as it reappeared it brought the hilt of the scythe down onto Duo's back which sent him stumbling forwards into the darkness all that was heard was Duo shouting "Ahhhhhhhhh!" and the other DeathScythe disappeared.
X - "Duo!!"
Zero - "What do we do X?"
X - "We have to go after him!"
Zero - "X! We can't!"
X - "We Can! And I'm going to!"
X then rushed off in the direction Duo had gone stumbling off to as Zero heard his shouts also "Ahhhhhhh!" And Zero too ran after X in concern as he shouted out also "Ahhhh!". Zero was in his gundam and then hit by a massive surge of electricity. It coursed through his body causing him to black out, just as it had done to Duo and X.
