Chapter 4: Battle

Zero picked up his favorite weapons: His Z-buster pistol, Chain Rod, Z-saber, and the time portal device.

He was ready to face his worst nightmare: re-living Neo Arcadia.

"Zero! It's time!" yelled X over the intercom.

Zero dashed down the stairs with a dark look in his eyes. A look usually associated with revenge.

As he went outside, he approached X. "When you are ready, shoot that way. Be careful not to put too much po-"

Zero fired the rip-maker and ran towards it. Before entering it, he stopped.

"X!" yelled Zero. "What?"

"Here!" Zero threw his Z-saber towards X. He caught it. "If Omega tries to attack, I want you to defend the base!"

"Don't worry. Just go."

With that, Zero walked through the rip.

An hour later…

BWEEM! BWEEM! Went the alarms. X knew who the attacker was, and prepared himself for battle.

"Ah, I see that Zero has left! No matter, I'LL JUST KILL EVERYONE ELSE!" yelled the deranged Reploid.

X activated the Z-saber and went into a fighting stance.

"Don't think you can kill me with that butter knife anymore!" laughed Omega X maniacally.

"We'll see…" whispered X.

X charged head first at Omega. He jumped into the air and went into a dive. Omega saw this and quickly put up his shield. X stabbed into the shield as white hot energy surrounded them both.

"Why…can't…i…get…through?" grunted X.

"Why do you think, bitch!" yelled Omega as he made the shield grow, blasting X away. X smashed into a boulder and fell onto the ground. He got up, showing no signs of pain.

"Hmmm….you're tougher than I thought. Lets see how you handle this!" Omega's had started to glow a blood red color. Suddenly, sharp tendrils flew out of his arm. They tried to wrap around him, but X slashed them in midair. X charged his buster and aimed.

"Zero, I hope you get your ass back here soon."
