World Reset

Chapter 18 – Resetting the World

"Vent! Wake up! I have something important to show you!" Prairie said as she knocked on Vent's door, "Thomas has made it to the final phase of his plan!"

Vent soon opened the door, fully dressed before he followed Prairie back to the command center. A big pop up screen was above Prairie's desk with Thomas' face on it, "Thomas! What exactly are you planning to do with the world!?"

"Thomas has hacked into our base's system for this live feed," Prairie told the brown-haired Guardian before they both turned to the screen.

"Greetings, humans and Reploids alike!" Thomas started with an evil smile on his face as he spread out his arms, "Today I, Master Thomas, declare the beginning of the new world! The ideal world!" The screen changed into a few of an object floating in space, "Meet Ragnarok II, the satellite I've built from the remains of the evil Ouroboros, to bring you all to the ideal world!"

"That's another Ragnarok…" Prairie went over to her desk before typing a few things and a smaller pop up screen appeared beside the one with Ragnarok, "That's Ragnarok II, built with same specifications as the Ragnarok built by Weil… Is the history going to repeat itself?"

"As if I'm going to let him!" Vent turned to Prairie, "Prairie, how is the condition of those four Chosen Ones? And what about those siblings? Can they cooperate with us?"

"Aeolus and the others have woken up, but they're not in the condition to fight," Prairie lowered her head, "And Prometheus and Pandora… They had left the base last night…"

"Darn it! Are they siding with Thomas now!?" Vent asked angrily and turned to the screen before turning back to Prairie, "Prairie, can you pinpoint a location in that thing for me to go to?"

"I'll try, just give me a moment," Prairie went to her chair before sitting on it as she started typing on her computer.

Meanwhile in the Hunter Camp, the Hunters also received the same transmission as the Hunters including Ashe, Grey, and Aile were all inside the 04 building. The screen showing the Ragnarok switched to show Thomas' wicked smile before he let out a laugh, "Only a few people can be a part of this new ideal world I'm making! If you can survive the test, then you can be a part of the new world!"

"This guy is starting to get to my nerves!" Ashe spoke up in irritation before turning to Grey, who was standing on her left, "We must beat this guy real good and teach him a lesson or two!"

"I agree on that!" Grey replied before he and Ashe turned back to the screen.

"But there is one exception…" Thomas spoke up with an evil smile, "The Chosen Ones, the Mega Men, who managed to survive the Maverick raids and soon become the heroes for defeating Albert… I will give you all the chance to see the coming of the new world… in special seats I provide in Ragnarok II!"

'Chosen Ones…' Aile put her hand close to her chest and lowered her head, barely hearing Ashe and Grey talking on her left.

"Come on! Let's go and put an end to Thomas' insane plan!" Ashe spoke up to Grey before they walked away.

"Ashe!" Aile spoke up, making Ashe stop in her tracks and let Grey go on ahead of her. Aile turned to the Hunter with a worried look on her face, "I want you to tell Vent something…"

A few minutes had passed and Vent found himself in the satellite in space. Vent pulled out his saber and his buster before he climbed on through a hole on the ceiling sitting next to the nearby wall. Vent jumped out of the hole and fired his charged shot, destroying an army of Galleons in many variants. Vent swung his saber around and cut through a group of Galleon Hunters just as they were about to shoot him.

Vent released his Rising Fang attack, clearing a path from the Mechaniloids on his way as he dashed through them. Vent fired a series of regular buster shots at a Galleon with a blade on its arm before finishing it off with his dashing slash attack. Vent cut through a red wall, which was made of a substance similar to a jelly and was about to go up through the hole on the ceiling, only to be stopped by a familiar dark red Reploid as he teleported in front of him.

"Omega!" Vent recognized the Reploid, "Get out of the way! I need to see Thomas and defeat him before he destroys the world!"

Omega pulled out his purple saber, "The destruction of this world is needed in order to create a new and ideal world. If you don't like Lord Thomas' policy to destroy the world before rebuilding it, then I should get rid of you here, even if you're a Chosen One!"

"Not after I get rid of you first!" Vent charged in with his saber, only to meet with Omega's purple one.

Vent pushed himself away before releasing a charged shot from his buster, but Omega had dodged the attack quickly before he slammed his fist on the ground and sent out rocks flying at Vent. Vent slashed the rocks away, but didn't notice that Omega had closed in on him before he released his own charged shot from his dark gray buster.

Vent was knocked far into the other side of the room and hit the wall hard, cancelling his transformation. Omega put his saber to his side and walked towards Vent, who was trying to get up to his feet. Vent reached for the Biometals in his pocket before pulling out Model X and Model O and looked at them closely.

'I don't think I can win with my ZX form, but…' Vent turned to Model O, 'In Model OX, maybe I can…' Vent held the Biometals tightly in his hands before turning to Omega, who was getting closer and closer to him, 'I'm not here for revenge. I'm not here to kill Thomas for personal reasons I have right now…' Vent closed his eyes, 'I'm here to fight to protect them! I want to protect my friends and my family!' Vent reopened his eyes and put the Biometals in front of him, "Rock ON! Model OX!"

Dark red armor, which was identical to Omega's covered Vent's body before a purple saber appeared in his hand. Vent quickly charged in at Omega, fully in control of himself, and swung his saber at Omega, slightly cracking Omega's chest armor. Vent quickly pulled out his dark gray buster and released a series of charged shots at Omega and knocked him away against the wall.

Vent charged in once more as Omega had gone back to his battle stance and landed a burning uppercut slash, creating a big scar on the Reploid's helmet. Vent swung his saber once more at Omega, who managed to block it with his own, before Omega pushed him away and slammed his fist once more to the ground before a pillar of energy appeared from below Vent.

Vent took the attack head on, but managed to dodge Omega's charged shots in time as he fired them soon after the pillar disappeared. Vent jumped up and did a rolling slash, sending out small sonic boom waves at Omega and froze his hand together with his saber. Vent landed on the ground and quickly followed up the attack with a paralyzing sonic boom, with knocked Omega down.

"I… I know… your power…" Omega slowly got up to his feet, ignoring the circuits appearing on his wounds, "My memories… remember your power… the power that defeated me before…"

Omega teleported out of the area and left Vent on his own, "Wait!"
