Hi all. I know I said I might not even have this up until after Christmas break but I got real board and decided I might as well type this up and get it over with. So quickmans dead shadow mans infected with the zero virus and wily forte protoman and megaman are all with him in the city. If ten robot masters couldn't defeat an inferior robot master infected with the zero viruses, how can they stop shadowman even if they work together? Will they even stop him at all? To find out read the last chapter of
A Light from the Shadows
Ps: this chapter will be slightly shorter than the others

Chapter six: hope
_________________________________
Shadowman stood there for a moment, starring at wily. The virus had made his hatred for wily burn all the more fiercely, and wily knew it. He turned and dashed strait at the huge machine, his gaze fixed on wily.
"You're going to die," he screamed in the cruelest vilest voice any of them ever heard.
"W we have to get out of here!" wily shouted as he tried to activate the huge robots teleporter.
Unfortunately for him the machine didn't have enough power to teleport after infecting three people with the virus.
SHING
Shadow man thrust his sword through the super durable glass covering wilys compartment in the robot.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE KILL HIM" wily screamed at his robot masters, who all reluctantly complied.
Search man and napalm man were the first to get on top of the huge machine as they were on the closer to the top. Shadowman pulled his sword out of the glass and dashed at napalm man. With one swing he cut off his hands/cannons and the cannon on his head, after which he sliced off napalm mans head, causing him to fall off the robot, he exploded when he hit the ground. Shadow man immediately jumped backwards and landed behind search man who had just fired a shot at where he had just ben. He quickly swung at search mans waist and cut him in two, his parts befalling the same as napalm mans. By now crash man and elec man had both gotten on top of the machine and began firing their weapons at shadowman. In the blink of an eye he was behind the two of them and sliced them both in two, there parts falling to join there comrades. He turned to wilys compartment and sliced the glass open. But to his misfortune found that wily had escaped while he was fighting the robot masters. He let out a blood curtaliong howl and began slicing the circuitry until fires and explosions started to engulf the robot, at which point he jumped off it and landed in front of it, facing forte and protman, both guns aimed strait at him. He growled as he dashed at them with blinding speed while avoiding t here shots with ease. Before he knew it shadowman was right in front of protoman. He had just enough time to bring up his shield to block. He stumbled backwards from the force of the blow and kept his shield up and shadowman kept swinging his sword. Meanwhile forte came up behind him and put his blaster to the back of shadowman's head.
"Bye byeeeaaaaaaaAAAA" forte screamed as shadowman whirled around, ducking under his blaster as he sank his blade into forte's stomache.
After he pulled his blade out forte stumbled back a little, clutching his wound, until he fell down. Protoman attempted to use this opportunity to blast shadowman in the back, but shadowman was ready for it and turned around again, swinging his sword which deflected protomans charged shot back at him. The charged shot hit him in the chest and caused him to lose his balance for a moment. But a moment was all shadowman needed as he sliced diagonally across protoman's chest, sending him flying several feet. Protoman lay on the ground with a huge gash across his chest, and didn't get up.
Shadowman grinned devilishly, until he heard something behind him. he whirled around to see rockman standing in front of him, holding a dart in his hand,
"Wilys not here" he said" I took him back to his fortress and he gave me this dart full of antidote" he said as he held up the dart
"You think I'm gonna let you put that in me?" shadowman growled
"No" rockman replied" but I didn't plan on asking you" he said as he tightened his grip on the dart
Shadowman grinned as he produced a shadow blade with his left and hurled it at the dart, but rockman was to fast and he caught the blade before it met its mark
"im not gonna let you leave here infected" he said
"Your not getting a choice!" shadow man shouted as he ran toward rockman. Rockman brought up his cannon to fire but before he fired shadow man had already jumped and was going over his head, unfortunately for shadow man rockman had expected this and when he landed he turned to meet a fully charged shot to the face. He screamed as he staggered backwards. Rockman didn't waist any time as he ran forward, trying to stick the dart into shadowman. Unfortunately shadowman whirled out of the way and tripped rockman as he stumbled forward. He managed to stop himself from falling down but couldn't avoid shadowmans sword as he sliced rockman in the back, sending him flying to the other side of the robots remains. He groaned as he got up but quickly came to his senses and looked around for shadowman. He spotted shadowman above him just in time to jump out of the way, away from the robot. He got up and immediately began firing his buster rapid fir at the insane robot master, and shadowman, in turn, swung his sword wildly hoping to strike rockman. After a while he started stabbing at rockman and the little blue bioroid decided to make a sacrifice. Letting one of the stabs strike him in the shoulder, he grabbed shadowmans arm and raised up his other arm to stab shadowman with the dart. Unfortunately shadow man was to strong for rockmans weakened arm and he pulled free. Using the momentum from when he pulled free he swung in a circle and brought his blade down vertically, cutting the dart in half and putting another large gash down rockmans torso. Rockman was again sent flying; this time into the same rubble pile as quick mans body. Shadow man stood for a moment, waiting for a sign of life among the rubble. Then, decideing rockman was dead he teleported to wilys fortress. But rockman wasn't dead. He lay in the ruble completely still, next to the body of quickman.
So this is how it ends he thought this is where the beginning of the end starts.. I just wish..I wasn't so powerless.to stop him
He sighed as he closed his eyes, waiting for the darkness to take him. when he heard a sound
Tink tink tink
He opened his eyes and looked to see what had caused the noise.
He saw a small vial of hope.
He starred at the little vial of antidote the explosions must have sent the little thing here he thought must be pretty resilient to have not shattered yet
He looked around for a moment for something that could pierce shadow mans armor and skin. He spotted quickmans giant boomerang laying on the ground, still in one piece. That could work he thought if I can just cut him with it
He listened to make sure shadowman was gone then stole a quick glance over the ruble to see if he was there, he wasn't. Must have gone to wilys he thought he's the one shadowman wants dead the most right now
He snatched up the giant boomerang and the vial of antidote, and teleported to wilys lab
~seconds later~
Rockman arrived just outside of wilys main lab, and he peaked in to see what was in there. In the room he saw half of wilys robot masters standing in-between him and shadow man and the other half all over the lab, or parts of them at least. Rockman stared in disgust at the scene. Shadow man stood in the middle of the room, his hair, armor, skin, even the wrappings hanging around his neck, were all soaked with blood.
"Why don't you just surrender wily?" he said in the same sinister voice as before" I just might make your torture a little shorter"
Shadowman had his back to rockman so he could see the terror on wilys and all the other robot masters faces
"I am going to destroy you all and everything else" he said.
As he talked rockman snuck up behind him, pouring the antidote on the giant boomerang.
Quickman he thought please help me hit him
"I will be the end of all life I WILL BRING ARMAGEDIN!"
"NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!" rockman cried as he swung the giant boomerang
Shadowman turned his head to see his attacker. To shocked by the fact that rockman was alive to act rockman succeeded in slicing shadowman, and getting the antidote into him. Shadowman stumbled forward a few steps then looked back at the exhausted rockman
"Y.you.you" he whispered as he was unable to get anything else out of his mouth as he starred in horror at the blade that had just cut him. He already began feeling the antidote going through his systems, purging them of the virus. His face changed from shock and terror to anger and rage.
"YOU" he screamed as he lunged at rockman.
Rockman rolled under shadow man as he lunged, cutting him again on the stomach. He ran through the group of robot masters to wily.
"Common" he said" we gotta get out of here"
"We cant" wily moped" there's an anti teleportation field around this room and we will never get out of it with him in here" he said as he motioned toward shadow man
"Uh wily? What's he doing" rockman said as he looked at shadow man, who had began glowing.
"I.don't know" wily whispered. His eyes widened as he realized what he was doing" that's quickmans eos!" he said franticly" but ho- o no quickman must have transferred it with his weapons data!" wily looked at shadow mans sword, which was also glowing" that virus must give him tremendous energy" he said," he's using two eos's at once"
"DIE EVERYONE DIE" shadowman screamed
Red flames spiraled from the ground until they met just above his head, and a similar thing happened with his sword as black flames came from the hilt. The flames suddenly merged and he and his blade were covered in black and red flames that danced with each other around his body. In a fraction of a second he was in the middle of the huge group of robot masters and cut them in two in less then five seconds, using his shadow strike to cut through the shielded ones. When all the robot masters fall to the ground in pieces he turned to rockman and wily. Rockman tried to fire and dodge an anticipated attack but shadowman was simply to fast. Though he did manage to avoid a fatal blow, as the strike wasn't deep enough to damage any vital organs or circuitry. The swing sent rockman into the wall where he lay unmoving. Ignoring his injured opponent he grabbed wily by the neck and slammed him against the wall.
"As much as id like to torture you to death I'm afraid I don't have the time" he growled as he raised his sword, putting the end of the blade against his creators neck
"P please" wily pleaded" please don't kill me, please!" he sobbed" ill do anything just please don't kill me!"
"Sorry wily but I wont be here to make sure you do it" shadowman said as he brought his arm back slightly.
He was about to thrust his blade into wilys neck when the glow in his eye, which had begun to dim, began flickering back to there original color
"NO" he shouted" NOT NOW, NOT WHEN IM SO CLOSE" he struggled to kill wily and not kill him at the same time.
Slowly the light faded and the virus lost more and more control. Letting go of wily and dropping his sword he stumbled backwards, clutching his head
"NO" he screamed" I HAVE TO KILL HIM"
While he was thrashing about rockman crawled out of the hole in the wall he had ben in and ran over to wily, who was bleeding from his forhead from being slammed against the wall.
"Ill live" he grumbled
They were both startled when shadow man stopped thrashing around. They both looked at him as he slumped to his knees.
He looked up at them, his eyes no longer flickering but glowing very dimly" you cant stop me" he whispered" you may purge me from this body.but ill be back"
His the glow fluttered a little more before fading back to there normal color
Shadowman groaned," what happened?" he asked
~three months later~
Shadowman, the entire light family, and forte all stood with there heads lowered on top of a hill near light labs, in front of a statue overlooking the city. The statue was of had a large stone about 4 feet tall with a life-sized quickman statue on it. He was kneeling on one knee he held his boomerang, the original quick mans boomerang. With both his hands on one end and the other resting on the stone underneath it. Its middle bend was pointing away from quickman, towards the city. His head was lowered, resting in the middle bend of his boomerang. His eyes were closed. On the base there was an enscription
From slave to hero
"He was a great boiroid" protoman said
"No" shadow man said" he was a reploid. The first reploid" the others all nodded
"So shadowman" rockman said" what will you do now?" he asked
shadowman didn't answer for a moment then replied" I don't know"
"You know my offer is still good" rockman said
".Would you really take me in after what I did?" he asked
"Sure" roll chimed" you didn't have control of what you did. the virus was controlling you and its gone now"
"What if it isn't? What if it's just hiding in my systems?" he asked
"I can do a scan of your systems to make sure if you like" Dr. light said
There was another silence as they waited for an answer
".Alright" shadowman sighed
"Then...shall we go?" Dr. light asked
They all nodded and began walking back to light labs
"Hey rock" forte shouted" don't think I'm gonna stop trying to beat you" he said as he teleported off
"I'm afraid I can't stay either" protoman said as he teleported without leaving an explanation of why, though they were lucky he even told them he was leaving.
~meenwhile in a federal prison~
Wily grumbled as he sat in a maximum-security cell, isolated from all the other prisoners
"Grr dam you, dam you all! I will have my revenge. Even if its not until after I'm dead! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!"
"Hey!" a guard shouted" quite down in there or you'll get no desert tonight"
"Ill be good" wily said sitting back down

Well everyone that's it. That's the last chapter, the big finale, and the epilogue. Don't expect this to be the end of my writings, I've still got more ideas that I could possible put down in one lifetime so expect to see more of me . Also expect to see more of shadowman as I will probably write more fics around what happens to him and the others in the future. PLEASE review I need some feedback, I need to know what you people think of my writing. I don't care if it's a good or a bad review just please review. Well until my next fic, peace
Ps: I couldn't resist putting in that last part I just felt the story had ben a little dark and needed to lighten the mood a little.
