The group soon entered the Temple as they were guided by Shanna on how to delve further into it by locating two idols that were located in different parts of the temple as they soon reached the final chamber of the temple as they spotted a huge portal and a pale white man with red eyes, wearing a red battlesuit.
"This guy… He looks real menacing." Zamazenta said.
"Omega Red, you're the last person I expected to find here, unless you're working for Apocalypse." Wolverine said.
"That is correct, Wolverine. And if you all are searching for Beast, hahahaha! You will never reach him in time." Omega Red said.
"But why would Apocalypse bring Beast here?" Saaya asked.
"They probably have some kind of ulterior motive in mind. Like they're trying to lure us into a trap." Toya said.
"It was to decipher the symbols on these walls. It took quite a bit of persuasion, but in the end he did as he was commanded." Omega Red said. "It was because the previous scientist for Apocalypse was slow in providing the translations… His employment was 'terminated' in a most unpleasant way."
"In other words, you killed him out of impatience." Zamazenta said.
"Yes, that's right. And now that his task is completed, Beast is no longer of use. He is to meet the same fate as the translator before him. And speaking of terminations, your time has come, my friends. Hahahahahaha!" Omega Red said.
"Fate, you say? Well… As a certain… let's say an associate of ours would say… Screw fate!" Cheetah said.
"Hmph, you shall die all the same!" Omega Red said.
"Let's get it on, then." Zenji said.
"Dark Savior." Magress said as three swords of darkness materialized and pierced through Omega Red.
"Let's kick it up a notch." Agito said as his knives were imbued in fire as he tossed them at Omega Red.
"Vol Fulgur!" Shanoa called, launching lightning bolts that homed in on Omega Red. "Jupiter!" she called, throwing a spear of lightning as it hit Omega Red, shocking him multiple times.
"Here goes… Frizzle!" Jessica said as she launched a huge fireball.
"You all are far more resilient than I expected." Omega Red said.
"That's because we all fought enemies that were much worse." Luke said.
"He's right. Even gods and demons themselves." Zamazenta said.
"And we always came out on top." Eze said.
"I think it's time you cooled off now." Ace said. "Finishing Strike! Azure Sky!" he called, dashing in and thrusting Lexida in its halberd form before shifting it to its chakram form and tossing it as it spun around Omega Red, hitting him multiple times before he froze solid as Lexida returned to Ace as he sheathed it in its normal form as the ice shattered.
"I guess this is where I step in." Captain Cold said as he sprayed layers of ice from his gun. They are then transported to a cold field where Captain Cold rides an icy trail while riddling Omega Red with ice blasts. After reaching the top, Captain Cold jumps and forms a large icicle then uses it to crush the Omega Red underneath.
"What?! This is not possible, I am invincible!" Omega Red said, falling unconscious.
"Nice ice play there, Cap." Ace said.
"Heh. They don't call me Captain Cold for nothing." Captain Cold said.
"Hmm, think this portal will take us to where Mikhail is holding Beast?" Stoj asked, looking at the large portal.
"Most likely." Jessica said.
"Well nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let's do it." Kor said as they stepped through the portal, prepared for what dangers await them on the other side.
