World Reset

Chapter 20 – Model O Biomatch

"Is this an earthquake!?" Ashe asked in panic, "But I thought that we're in space!"

"I don't think this is an ordinary quake," Grey spoke up as he looked around, "I feel an energy reading coming towards us!"

A howling sound was heard before a blur of red and brown broke out of a hole from the ground in front of Vent, "Chosen Ones go no further. Buckfire will not allow!"

"Buckfire…" Grey pulled out his buster guns before taking a step back, "Head's up guys! This guy isn't alone!"

The shaking become more violent as water slowly filled the room from the hole Buckfire made before the Model W Pseudoroids, whom Ashe and Grey had beaten before, came into the room and surrounded the Chosen Ones, "We're surrounded!"

Ashe and Grey turned to each other before nodding and aimed it at Buckfire, who was standing in front of the hole he created before and released their reflect laser and charged shot to knock the Pseudoroid away from the hole. Vent turned back to the Hunters in confusion before he smiled at them, "Thanks! I'll make sure to beat Thomas for you guys too!"

The brown-haired Chosen One jumped down the hole Buckfire created, landing on the ground made of rusty metal with some red gel covering it, "Vent, Ragnarok's core should be nearby. Find a stairway to the top room where Thomas and the core is located."

"Thanks Prairie," Vent reached for the communicator on his ear before looking at the red wall made of gel ahead of him as it transformed into a red stairway and the water in the room was drained as the hole on the ceiling closed down, "The final battle against Thomas is just up ahead…"

"Be careful, Vent. I don't know what else Thomas has that's waiting for your arrival," Prairie paused for a moment before letting out a sad sigh, "Please come back safely, okay? There are people waiting for your return."

"Don't worry, I will," Vent replied with a smile before ending the transmission and headed up the stairway.

The revolving stairway seemed to be an endless road before the Guardian finally reached a room, which was the top most room in Ragnarok as the glass ceiling in the room showed the image of space. Vent walked under the glass, heading to a white and golden throne where the former Sage Trinity member was sitting.

"Master Thomas!" Vent spoke up and looked up at the red-haired man, "Your dream of destroying our world ends here. I've come to stop your insane plan!"

Thomas rose from his seat with a smile, "There's no need for you to stop my plan, because you're already doing what I needed you to do and that is to come here."

"What do you mean by that!?" Vent asked in confusion before some buzzing noise was heard from his communicator, "Huh? What's going on?"

"Vent… Vent…!" The voice of the Guardian commander was heard between the buzzing sounds, "Can you… hear…?"

"Prairie! What's going on down there? Why can't I hear you clearly?" The brown-haired Chosen One reached for his communicator, hoping for a much clearer voice, "Prairie!"

"Signal… from Ragnarok… Mavericks…" Prairie's voice was starting to break up, "… Chosen Ones… fighting…" More buzzing sounds were heard and Prairie's voice disappeared completely.

"Prairie! Answer me!" Only buzzing sounds were heard and Vent let out a sigh before turning to Thomas angrily, "What did you do, Thomas!?"

"Do you really want to know?" Thomas walked down from the platform where his throne was, "Ragnarok II is capable of sending a Maverick signal to the world below to destroy the worthless people before I can destroy the filthy world with the powerful laser in this satellite," Thomas let out an evil smile before he raised his hands, "I'll show you what kind of destruction is happening!"

Vent's green eyes went completely white as images started appearing in his head. Aeolus and Atlas, both transformed, were defending the city against an army of different colored Mechaniloids attacking the city. Aeolus had used his jet wings to climb a burning building and grab a crying girl who was stuck on the top floor of the building.

Atlas used her buster guns to punch away any nearby Mechaniloids before slamming her right one to send a wave of fire at the group of Mechaniloids. The fire wave destroyed the Mechaniloids before they attacked the group of people and Reploid hiding in a dark alley. Aeolus landed next to Atlas before letting the girl in his arms go to hide with the others in the alley, only to have them surrounded by more Mechaniloids.

The image of the city disappeared and was replaced by the view of the outer grounds of Hunter Camp, which was filled by armed Hunters. Thetis and Siarnaq were also with the group of Hunters and were fighting in their transformed forms. The Ice Mega Man swung his staff, freezing an army of invisible cannon Mechaniloids, before the Shadow Mega Man finished them off with his shuriken.

Vent's eyes turned back to green color with a surprised expression on his face, "N-No way…"

Thomas saw the disbelief look on the Guardians face before letting out a smile, "Omega."

The dark red Reploid, still having the injuries from his earlier battle, teleported to Thomas' side, "Yes, my Lord."

"I knew that you're not going down that easily," The brown-haired Chosen One noticed the newcomer in the room before turning to the red-haired man, "Now what are you going to do? Make me fight him again? I have the power of Model OX if you haven't known that!"

"I know, but Omega isn't going to fight alone," Thomas stretched out his arm and Omega's body glowed brightly before turning into a sphere of light and landed on Thomas' stretched arm as it turned into a brown Biometal, much to Vent's surprise, "You are going to fight me, with the help of Omega's power! I am Master Thomas, Model O Biomatch and the crimson Mega Man!"

"I-Impossible!" Vent looked at disbelief as Thomas transformed into his Model O form.

Thomas' appearance was almost identical to Omega's, except that the hair coming out of his helmet was his original red color. The saber he was holding in his hand was pink instead of Omega's purple one and the buster was white and gold in color. The former Sage Trinity member looked at the dark red armor covering his body and smiled before pointing his saber at Vent.

"Let's see who's stronger… the original Biomatch of Model O, or the one who combined Model O and Model X together…" Thomas lowered his pink saber and smiled evilly at Vent.

"I'm not going to fight to see who's the strongest," Vent spoke up before he transformed into his OX form, "I'm here to stop you, and take the world's fate back from your hands."

Both Mega Men charged at each other, clashing their purple and pink sabers together before Vent knocked Thomas' away and jumped back before pulling out his buster. A few charged shots were released before a few small sonic boom attacks followed them up, but the crimson Mega Man didn't bother dodging the attacks.

The crimson Mega Man aimed his buster at the Chosen One before letting out gold-colored charged shots at him. Vent dashed under the shots before slamming his fist on the ground, sending a few rocks with charged energy at Thomas, who took the attack head on but wasn't knocked back by them. The Guardian growled angrily and charged head on with his purple saber before jumping and landing a big slash across the Sage Trinity member's chest and cracked a little of his armor.

Thomas sent out a few pink sonic booms, which knocked Vent back and off the ground, before following it up with a huge pillar of energy as he slammed his fist on the ground. Vent got up to his feet slowly and ran towards the crimson Mega Man before landing a burning uppercut to cut off some of his arm's armor and followed it up with a paralyzing sonic boom to knock Thomas off the ground.

Thomas got up from the ground without any problems and let out a smile at Vent, which agitated Vent a bit, "What are you smiling at!?"

The crimson Mega Man let out a laugh, "As fun as that battle was, unfortunately I have to cut it short," The whole room started shaking and the shaking got more and more violent, "Now's the time for the grand finale! The power I will use to reset this filthy and disgusting world… after battling to buy the time for the completion of the W Fusion!"

"What!?"

For those who've played the Zero series, prepare for some nostalgia! (later, dunno when though...)
