Here I am! Thanks for the reviews guys. Heres some more ocs You know the drill.
Genesis Omega: His name means the beginning of the end. Alpheon's creator/father. He abandoned Alpheon because he doesn't possess the power that he owns. He discarded him in a maverick base but he killed the mavericks there. He share one goal: to gain absolute power.
Lockdown: Created by Maxwood, Falcon's partner, some years ago. Experimental. Never before activated, created only to serve Falcon however possible.
Master R: Created during Falcon's "crusade," Master R serves as the Crusaders' primary line of defense. What he lacks in intelligence and subtelty, he makes up for in astounding strength, durability, and stamina.
Saber Rien: Created during Falcon's "crusade," Saber Rien serves as secondary defense and stealth unit. Destroyed at some unknown point, he has been rebuilt in the body of a new generation reploid, granting him more abilities. Bold, yet boasting, Saber has many tricks in combat, making him a force to be reckoned with.
Lock: Created during Falcon's "crusade," Lock serves as the supervisor of Master R and Saber. He is seemingly always in a bad mood... but it's also been speculated that he is planning something. His bad attitude however masks a powerful, cunning fighter.
Chapter 7: Old tales and new allies.
Falcon frowned. His virus was still repairing the patches and chunks missing from his armor, but he would last.
"I thought I was better than this." He gritted his teeth. He looked at his armor, the virus filling in the scars, and then vanishing, leaving the armor looking good as new. "This simply will not do. I shall have to become stronger..."
"HEEEY!" Endzone's shrill voice cutting through the air. Falcon rolled his eyes beneath his cool visor. What now?
Endzone was sporting massive wounds. "I... I got beaten!"
"Big surprise, you dumb oaf." Falcon muttered. "Now, where's the conduit?"
Endzone stared. "Um... uh... See, I-"
"SPARE ME THE EXCUSES!" Falcon roared, getting up from his seat and uppercutting Endzone with lightning speed. He hit the ceiling with a loud THUNK and hit the floor with a louder SLAM.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'll get them next time!" Endzone murmured, his face to the floor.
Falcon sighed and turned away. "Yes... we will. And when the time comes... they will have to pay."

The hunters brought Alpheon back to the base. Now he was being examined to see what was controlling him.
At the discussion room, Star remembered how they first met him. He nearly killed her during the fight against Dragonoit. Yet, he saved her from Endzone at the Power Station. Star was confused about all this.
"Hello? Star? Earth to Star, come in." Axl said poking her arm. Star snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Axl. "Sorry, Axl. I zooned out for a while." She apologized.
"Heh, I noticed." Axl said smirking. "Something on your mind, Star?"
"Just thinking." Star said. She didn't want to talk with Axl about Alpheon. She didn't know how he would react.
"It's about that Alpheon guy, isn't it?" Axl asked. Star blinked, surprised. "I can't really hide anything from you, can I?" She asked.
Axl snickered. "Guess so. Anyway, all I know is that guy's been trough some rough times." He said, looking serious. "Only time will tell if we can trust him or not. For now, try not to think about it."
Star smiled. "I'll try. Thanks, Axl. You really know how to lift up someone's spirit."
"No problem. Let's go see the others. Maybe they got some info on him." Axl said.
"Okay." Star said. They left to find X, Zero and DMZ.

Veldogger and Ice were looking annoyed at Fire.
"What's the big idea?" asked Veldogger. "We were beating them! Why did you want us to retreat?"
"Yeah, those punks were about to go down! Especially that little brat with the scars on his face," agreed Ice.
"Guys, I just had a bad feeling about it," Fire told them. "I heard an explosion on the other side of the complex and I was worried it might have been our pal Falcon getting beat."
"So? What does that have to do with us?" asked Ice. "If he lost, we would have beaten the other hunters anyway, after we got done with Zero and his puny friend."
"That's true," Fire admitted.
"I'm telling you, sometimes you're too cautious for your own good," Ice told his brother.
"Well, it doesn't matter now," Veldogger told them. "What's done is done. But next time, Zero is history. I'll never forgive him for what he's done. And as for X, he must have been scared to fight me this time. But if I get my paws on him... HE'S DEAD!"
Veldogger gritted his teeth as he thought of X killing Velgauder, his brother. Fire and Ice nodded.

Falcon looked across all the capsules. He shook his head, clearing the stray thoughts from his head. "Maxwood, you never did cease to amaze me, buddy..." He whispered to himself.
Six capsules in all. He opened up the first of which, and while the lid opened, he read the label:
HIGH POWER SERVICE Lockdown
"Lockdown, eh? Hm." He said to himself. "Let's hope you're better than that idiot Endzone..."
The capsule opened, the light making Lockdown's dark armor shine. His eyes opened, and he sat up.
"Master Falcon, I presume?" He calmly said.
"Yes, yes. Lockdown, how nice to finally meet you."
"Hn? What do you mean?"
"Maxwood left a few unfinished projects before he departed. You of which being his last."
Lockdown nodded. "I see... But I exist solely to serve you. And how may I do so?"
Falcon smiled. "Head upstairs and await further orders."
"Yes sir." He replied and trotted over to the stairwell.
Falcon stroked his chin in contentment. "Very impressive. I can barely wait to watch him in action."
He looked across the next 3 capsules and read their labels. Three specific names... Names he had become oh-so-familiar with...
Master R.
Sabre Rien.
Lock.
His visor glinted. "Crusaders... it's time to awaken once more and serve your master."

DMZ, Zero and X sat in the briefing room waiting for Axl and Star.
The two of them walked in calmly.
"Ok... all communications were cut during the battle... So I guess debriefing will be two stages. First i need an account of what happened... and then I will compile a reason for what happened." Alia said.
"Well..." Zero started. "We split into two teams, Me and Axl, then X, Star and DMZ." Zero said. "Me and Axl walked around for a while searching for problems."
"But... we got in trouble, because Veldogger and the Wolf Bros. attacked us." Axl started in. "And we were starting to win and then they retreated..." He added.
"Ok, what happened to your team, X?" Alia asked.
"Well, we met up with Falcon..." X said. "And it seemed our chances of winning... surviving were bleak."
"It was DMZ... He saved us..." Star said.
"But at what cost though... I risked your saftey... I could have gotten you killed..." DMZ said, a depressed and disgruntled look on his face.
"But... If it wasn't for your transformation..." Star said.
"My transformation could have killed us all!" DMZ yelled, surprising everybody in briefing room.
"Falcon dissappeared afterwards..." X said returning to the conversation.
"And when we were exiting, we were confronted with Endzone, where Alpheon saved us, but somebody or something is controling him, which is why he is in the state he is in." Star added.
"So my guess is... they were all working together..." Alia said. "Return in a little while, I'm sure i will have some info." Alia said. With that the hunters left the room, but Star stopped DMZ.
"Like you said earlier, you have some explaining to do..." Star said. DMZ sighed and walked with her to a green room.
"Well... everybody has a story, a while back you gave me a story, and now I guess it's my turn." DMZ said. "Most hunters don't trust me because I used to be a maverick. But it has been harder for me to redeem myself that it was Zero... Heck, it's not every day we have a chance to throw our body infront of a near death blast." DMZ said scoffing.
"Anyway, I used to work for Falcon... which explained why I wanted to go ahead and get this over with. Falcon... he is no ordinary maverick, he adopted and revamped the Sigma Virus making his own, which is the source of his main power. It was also the reason it never appeared that we did any damage, he can repair himself so fast." He added taking a short breath.
"He had 'killed' me before I joined the hunters, because I was so close to being equal to him, and he didn't want any competition." DMZ said. "My maverick form never looked like that, but I guess now that is my truest form..." He said. "The black, the flames, the red, everything that is mean and harsh represented the part of me that went to hell... the blue, the white, the soft collors, they represent the part of me that went to heaven." DMZ said.
"But now... every time i transform, more of me gets torn apart, the me you no will eventualy never exist if i keep transforming..." DMZ said. "After that, i will just become a rouge maverick that wont recognize his friends... and kill anything that moves..."
DMZ sighed "I'm afraid, Star, I'm truly afraid of what might become of me, because of what happened... I consider you, X, everybody here as my siblings, and I don't want to injure anybody..." he said. "And I put you in a bad position... something I shouldn't have done... This is... this is the reason why people don't trust me... I have so much power hidden, that if something were to go wrong... it would be armaggeddon..." DMZ said.
"It won't change the way I look at you..." Star finally said. "But now that I know, it just breaks down another barrier, if they see me, knowing that I know this, maybe it will help them defeat their fears of you..."
"Hasn't yet..." DMZ said, lowering his head to where his face was shadowed. "Maybe... maybe you shouldn't be around me any more..." DMZ said. "It will be a lot safer..." he added.
Before Star could say anything, DMZ left the room. Only to meet with X. By the look on his face, he heard the whole thing.
"X...I'm sorry for keeping this a secret for so long." He said with a sigh. "I had to conceal my true form. To resist from going Maverick. I am much too powerful. I don't want to hurt my friends..."
"DMZ, I'm sorry you feel that way. But you must remember who you are, what you're fighting for. You don't belong to the dark side anymore." X said puting a hand on his shoulder. "You are on the side of the righteous. You are not just a Reploid who can become a Maverick. You are my friend and trusted ally. As long as you remeber that, you will never be a Maverick."
DMZ smiled weakly. "Thank you, X. By the way, I think I can modify your Buster. To break through Falcon's barrier, in case he strikes again." He said.
"If it'll bring about the end to that Maverick, so be it!" X decided. They both headed to the R&D lab.
A few hours later...
"There, that should do it. You can at least disrupt Falcon's repairing phase for a few seconds now." DMZ said.
"I don't know how to thank you, DMZ." X said smiling.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Alpheon groaned as he got up. "Ugh... Where am I?" He wondered.
He found himself in the ruins of a city with a very cloudy sky... "Hello? Is anybody there?" He asked.
A grim-reaper reploid, Genesis Omega, appeared before him. "My son, why didn't you obey me?" He asked.
"Father, I have changed my goals now." Alpheon replied. "I don't wanna be a god."
"You must join me son." Genesis Omega said. "You are a weapon of destruction. You can destroy planets with my help!"
"You are not a father..." Alpheon growled. "A father is someone who teaches his offspring what is right and what is wrong. You are just an evil creator!"
"You are wrong son." Genesis Omega said. "I am teaching you... How to be like me."
"I'd rather fight for justice than to fight alongside you." Alpheon said with determination.
"I pity you son..." Genesis Omega said. "You always wanted death. I'll give it to you... RIGHT NOW!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Alpheon woke up in cold sweat. "No!" He yelled before finding himself lying on a bed. "Am I still dreaming?"
"I see you've awakened." Zero, who was standing next to the door, said.
"Who are you?" Alpheon asked.
"I'm Zero." The Crimson Hunter replied. "I want to thank you for saving Star back at the power station."
"The girl... Yes. You're welcome." Alpheon said, remembering what happened. "I just can't stand seeing things like those happening." He placed a hand on his hand. "My head still hurts. argh.."
"Who controls you?" Zero asked.
"My father and creator, Genesis Omega." The Black ninja answered. "I had a nightmare about him just before you came in..."
Star came into the room. "Alpheon.. You're awake." She said with a smile "I'd like to thank you for saving me."
"You are Star, am I right?" Alpheon asked.
"Yes I am. I guess Zero told you." Star replied, smiling.
"He did... agh... I suffered a lot yesterday." Alpheon groaned. "Actually, I nearly died. My father tried to kill me."
Star gasped. "Your... father?" She asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Star. His father." Zero said before looking at Alpheon. "You're not a maverick are you, Alpheon?"
"No I'm not. I'm just like you." Alpheon replied. "But my father is a maverick."
Star stared at Alpheon for a few moments. She really didn't know what to say. X and Axl entered the room.
"So... It was your father that was controlling you when you showed up at the Astronomy Center?" X asked him.
"Yes..." Alpheon said before glancing at Axl and Star "About that incident, I'd like to apologize for what happened."
Axl shrugged. "Hey, don't sweat about it. You were being controlled. So I guess it wasn't really your fault." Star smiled a bit, nodding #That Axl... He never holds a grudge against someone for a long time# She thought.
"Anyway, do you know what you father is up to, Alpheon?" Zero asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." Alpheon sighed. "He plans to gain more and more power. Enough power to destroy this whole galaxy. However, I'm afraid I don't know how he plans to do it..." He explained.
"Well, that's a start. For now, try to rest. We'll find a way to stop him." X assured him. He, Zero and Axl left.
Star gave him an assuring smile. "Don't worry. Everything will be alright." She said. He smiled back then she left the room.
While wandering around the base, Star recalled the events that happened during the last hours: the battle against Falcon, DMZ's tranformation, how he came to be what he was now and Aplheon's story to top it off.
One thing, however, remained in her mind: DMZ's words. #DMZ... I want to help you, but I can't unless you let me do it...# She thought sadly. #You're not a Maverick anymore and you won't become one again... You're a hunter and my friend. You just need to believe...#
Star sighed. She wanted to help her friends, but she couldn't find a way. #I'll go take a walk. Maybe this will help me find the answers.# She decided.
So, Star left the base.
