Mega man X 8: Rondo of Blood.
Dark Zero brought sigma back to our world after the Colonel refused to do the order of injuring his own sister. Sigma returned with the powers of a God.
Colonel left with Iris leaving X, Zero and Axl behind to fight Sigma. Dark Zero showed his respects to Sigma for a second chance in serving him, but Sigma had no mercy and killed him in cold blood.
After this, Sigma plans to cause the second massive outbreak of the Sigma Virus to settle his rule of darkness.
The hunters fought back, but Sigma took them out fast with a powerful meteor energy ball attack. Sigma headed to the top of the central tower to begin the process of the outbreak.
The hunters were very weak, but their strong wills kept them on to the top of the tower to stop Sigma.
Sigma greeted the hunters, as he was about to finish them. The Colonel defended them with the help of Iris' powers as the chosen one. The colonel tried to attack Sigma, but Sigma grabbed him splitting him in half.
Colonel used the moment to stab his sword in Sigma's heart, his weak point.
Colonel gave his life defending his sister.
The dark castle was destroyed. But from the debris of the castle, a giant Sigma revealed from the darkness. This event was already prophesized. Now Sigma is about to cause the massive outbreak.
X, Zero, Axl and Iris have now to stop this colossus t any cost before he gets to the next city. Or the whole world will be doomed.
Chapter 14: The last hope.
The giant Sigma advances on a slow rhythm, but still his steps create large quakes with each step. The next large city is visible from the mountains. If Sigma gets there, everyone will be doomed.
The three hunters rush thru the dark forest as they run on a trail that would take them to he next hill. As they rush, they plan a strategy to fight the colossus.
X: So how are we gonna stop him?
Axl: True. We can't just put our foot to make him trip.
Zero: There must be a way... There always is.
Iris: I read in the prophecies that Sigma in that form is not using his own power.
X: What?
Iris: He uses the power from the hatred of the world and the darkness in people's hearts. That's why he has so much power right now.
Axl: So... Is there any way to defeat him?
X: I can feel that power. Is drawing close.
Zero: Me too, Sigma is very close to us.
The hunters hear a loud noise as they turn to their right. The colossus big foot crashes against the soil and dirt.
X: Zero! Look!
Zero: Yes! I see!
They lift their heads as they look to the things on Sigma.
Axl: They're... Globs?
Iris: Sigma draws power from those dark globs!
Zero: Then if that's his power source, then we'll take them out!
X: Right behind you!
Axl: Here I go!
Iris: You'll pay for my brother!
The hunters rush to the hill. The big leg is about to pass by them. They can't get on Sigma that easy.
X: So... How are we gonna get there?
Zero: Good question...
Iris: Let me use my powers.
Iris closes her eyes as she concentrates on the hunters aura.
Axl: Boring! Can we kick butt?
X: Wait! My body is floating in the air!
Zero: Mine too!
The three hunters start floating in the air followed by Iris.
Iris: I used my power to give you powers to fly for now. With this we should get Sigma right away.
Zero: Thanks Iris. Now! Let's go!
X: Roger!
Axl: I can fly!
The four rush riding on the wind to Sigma. The colossus draws close as Zero grips his saber ready to slash by.
Zero: Now this!
The rushing red comet passes by one of the globs slashing it into nothing. The dark halves dissolve like sodium in water.
Zero: That's one!
X: My turn! X-Buster!
X fires his Buster cannon hitting another glob. This one just vaporizes.
Axl: Yeah baby!
Axl squeezes the triggers of his loyal twin guns. Hole by hole, the glob is reduced into nothing.
The mighty colossus shows signs of weakness.
Zero: Yes! This is working! Guys! Keep it up!
X: Sure thing Zero!
Axl: No problem!
The three hunters still fly around the colossus destroying dark globs within a set rhythm.
X: Going good here!
Axl: Yeah! I like this! Nothing can get any better!
But the weakness has a price like they say. Suddenly from the darkness within the air, dark energy balls shoot thru the air headed to the hunters.
Zero: What?
Suddenly, the closest one dissolves within a bright warm light.
Zero: Iris!
Iris: I'm Ok! You three keep with it! I'll stop these balls!
Zero: Roger!
Iris waves her arms in the directions of the balls dissolving them into nothingness. The three hunters are still destroying balls. The progress is going good, there are only a few globs left. Sigma is about to be defeated.
But suddenly when there's just one glob left, the evil energy within it expands surrounding the body of the colossus.
Zero: What?!? A barrier?!?
X: My shoots can't get pass thru it!
Axl: Dang!
Iris: Oh no! The darkness expanded! Now he's invincible!
Axl: And you tell us now...
X: But how can we defeat him like that?
Zero: We'll have no choice but to evacuate the people of the city and declare a worldwide emergency state. Come on!
The three hunters head to the city, n but they stop when they notice that Iris is still not following them. Zero draws close to Iris.
Zero: Come on Iris. We have to go.
Iris navigates deeply into her mind remembering the carvings on the prophecies wall. past analyzing a strange picture of a maiden inside of a dark entity releasing a light, she understands what to do.
Iris: Zero... Take care of everyone...
Iris accelerates with an impulse like a rocket. Zero doesn't know what she's going to do. But this would be very dangerous.
Zero: No! Iris!
The rushing bolt of lighting trespasses the dark barrier shooting inside of the big mouth. As the light disappears in the dark hole, Zero screams.
Zero: No! Iris! What are you doing!
The big colossus stumbles for a moment due to the impact, but it is still walking.
Zero: No!
The colossus still walks slowly, but suddenly his steps stop. Silence echoes in the landscape.
Zero: What?
From the stillness, the colossus erupts into massive pain. From his inside, a bright light shines within dissolving the entire creature. Sigma is being defeated from the inside. Ray by ray of light, each part of Sigma is being destroyed until the light destroys his head. The remaining is the light of Sigma's silhouette.
The light fades revealing a small shape of a lady falling to the ground.
Zero: Iris!
Zero rushes catching Iris from the air. He lays Iris on the ground to check her if she's Ok.
Zero: Iris! Can you hear me?
Iris: Zero... We did it...
Zero: Yes I know, but what about you?
Iris: I think that... I'm not gonna make it.
Zero: You're going to make it!
Iris: You know very well that I won't...
Zero: Iris...
Iris: Please Zero... I say the same thing my brother said... You must be strong...
Zero: No! Iris! Don't die! Please!
Iris: I know... That you can be strong... Please Zero... They need you...
Zero: Right now you need me to survive!
Iris: Zero please... It's mi time... It was my destiny as the chosen one... to give my life to stop Sigma... Please let me fulfill my destiny.
Zero: Iris...
Iris: Zero... I'll always... Love... you....
Iris bright full face fades with her death. Zero can't take the heavy sorrow within his heart.
Zero: Iris? Iris! IRIS!
Zero's face explodes into a waterfall of tears by losing the one he loved once again.
Zero: Why?!? Why this happened?!? Why did all this happened?!? What is the reason for your death Iris?!?
X: Zero! We saw a big light and...
Axl: Zero! Are you Ok?
Zero: Iris... She gave her life for everyone...
X looks as the sad Zero drawing close to him as he extends his arms hugging him.
X: Zero. This was her decision. You weren't able to change her mind. Please be strong. She'll be always with you.
Zero: X...
Zero lowers his head in sorrow trying to swallow X's words.
Sigma has been defeated at last. But his defeat had the cost of Iris' life. Zero now lost his live for a second time. And this time seems impossible to get her back.
For now, everyone would just try to forget this incident and live with their lives. But for Zero, this would mean the discovery of the cause of every death and his personal decision to avoid more deaths...
That decision... would cost another life... And very close to him...
Next Chapter: True friendship.
Author's corner.
The battle against Sigma is over! The part of the dark globs was from kingdom hearts In the battle against Oggy Boggy when he fused with his manor. The flying part was just for fun. And the sacrifice is almost a classic one in this kind of stories. Next chapter is the Final Chapter! And the shocking ending for Mega man X 8: Rondo of Blood! I said that this ending is going to be very different, and it will be. So hang around and wait for it!
See ya in True frienship!
