Zamazenta's group learned from Havok that Sentinels are being sent to pick up refugees from New York, so they have to disable the Defense Platforms to prevent the sentinels from being shot down, luckily the sentinels have been reprogrammed by Bolivar Trask himself so any member of the X-Men or Brotherhood will be seen as humans to them. Havok soon dropped Zamazenta's group off at one end of the platform line before he soon took off.
"Good luck, guys. I'm gettin' outta here. There's way too many anti-aircraft guns on these platforms." Havok said.
"Thank you, Havok. You braved a great deal to get the team to the landing zone. And because the platforms are much more heavily fortified than first believed, I've requested the aid of SHIELD. They can better secure the structures once the defenses are down. Plus, they have a more thorough reconnaissance of the area. And with that, I hand control of this mission over to Colonel Nick Fury." Professor Xavier said.
"Thanks, Professor Xavier. Team, some of you I've worked with before, others of you I've fought with. But lives are on the line so there's no time for egos right now." Nick Fury said.
"Well said, Colonel. We appreciate your support." Zamazenta said.
"Happy to help, Zamazenta. Now at this very moment, a team of SHIELD agents are on their way to your location. It is imperative that you destroy the anti-aircraft guns before my men arrive. If you don't, they'll be shot out of the sky. Time is the enemy here. Move fast, Fury out." Nick Fury said.
"You heard him. We need to destroy those anti-aircraft guns as soon as possible so Fury's men can step in with no issue." Zamazenta said.
"Roger that, let's move out." X said as they approached the first platform and spotted the anti-aircraft gun.
"Team, those anti-aircraft guns are almost indestructible. The only way you're going to hurt them is by destroying the generator that powers them." Nick Fury said, referring to a large machine in the center of the platform.
"That must be it, let's do it." Stahn said.
The group quickly destroyed the generator as it exploded with the four anti-aircraft guns following.
"Hear me, mutants...and flee from the sound of my voice; it is a death knell for you and for all your wretched kind." A voice echoed.
"And here comes the cavalry." Zamazenta said.
"Who are you?" Zero asked.
"I am Bastion! The architect of your destruction! Prepare to meet me on the field of battle. I will prove you are weak and unworthy!" Bastion said as Sentinels began attacking the group.
"I know arrogance is kind of the name of the game in the villainy department, but… You really need to consider who you're facing." Zamazenta said.
"Or it'll be the last mistake you ever made." Leon said.
The group continued on, destroying the generators and subduing the sentinels as they soon reached the command center platform, and stepping out was Bastion himself.
"Game's up, Bastion. Time to make your exit." Zamazenta said.
"For too long mutants have taken advantage of humanity's kindness. And for too long I've sat by and done nothing while they've schemed and plotted like cowardly assassins. But my time of silence is over. I must take action and destroy each and every one of their misbegotten kind!" Bastion said.
"Not if we have anything to say Maverick!" Zero said.
"Zero's right. This feud between humans and mutants isn't getting either of you anywhere." Zamazenta said.
"Silence! Mutants are an aberration - A mistake of nature. I've made it my life's work to correct this mistake and erase it forever." Bastion said. "With my help, humanity will once again flourish and grow on the broken husks of their bodies." he said.
"Sorry, but you're not gonna be around much longer to even have the chance. You're no better than Sigma." Zero said, putting a hand near his saber.
"And you will fall just as he did, Bastion. Time to shock your systems." Zamazenta said.
"Then come!" Bastion said.
(Cue- Opening Stage X- Project X Zone)
"Charge Shot!" X called, firing a few shots before finishing with a charge shot as Zero rushed in and dealt a few saber strikes.
"Thou who wouldst take revenge, carve here thy holy seal. Éclair de Larmes!" Tear casted as a glyph with a cross on it appeared underneath Bastion before unleashing a burst of light, hitting multiple times.
"O noble conflagration!" Guy said, ascending to the air coated in flames before diving down at Bastion. "Incinerate all...Razing Phoenix!" he called, ascending once more as the image of the immortal bird appeared over Guy, taking Bastion with him as well.
"Grrrraaaah! Behemoth Bash!" Zamazenta said. He glowed red as he charged and slammed at Bastion.
"Let's finish this X!" Zero said.
"Right behind you, Zero!" X said.
Hadoken and Genmu Zero
"Cross Charge Shot!" X called, firing a multicolored shot as four shots followed behind, sending Bastion flying towards Zero who raised his saber up.
"Genmu Zero!" Zero called, launching a wave of energy that split into four, launching Bastion back at X as Zero quickly dashed to him, raising his saber once again as it grew larger while X got into a familiar technique stance. "Fun's over!"
"Hadoken!" X called, firing a beam of energy as Zero launched waves of energy once more into the mix as the attack engulfed Bastion.
"What a waste… Nothing good can come from spreading the fires of the barrier between humans and mutants." Zamazenta said.
"Yeah, this is something they must resolve themselves without scum like you interfering." Harpuia said, tossing Bastion's head into the ocean floor below. "Colonel Fury and the rest of SHIELD can take it from here now. Let us return to the mansion."
