Outside Neo Arcadia

I can't believe he managed to escape, Forte walks on in the desert, I'm almost at my full power, just a bit more time and I'll chase after Zero again. Just as he finishes that thought, a huge metal claw came out, but Forte managed to push it back with both his arms.

"Looks like you're pretty powerful, no wonder you managed to defeat Fefnir." A figure came out. I recognize him, it's that Dr. Weil that I read about in the Neo Arcadian database, and that huge reploid there is Omega.

"How are you here Weil?" Forte was unaware of the recent events that took place, "From what I learned, you were supposed to be exiled, and Omega was supposed to be banished."

"Looks like I'm pretty famous around here, I guess you aren't with the Resistance and haven't heard the news." Weil decided to try and use this reploid. "I have a proposition for you, join us and rule Neo Arcadia by me and Omega."

Work with a human again? I'd rather help Zero than do that. "Sorry, Weil, I have a bad history with humans."

"I guess it can't be helped then," Weil turned to Omega, "Destroy him!"

"Grrr…" Omega launched three blasts from his chest, Forte managed to jump over it but it bounced off the ground and grazed his left arm. I've been caught off guard, it won't happen again.

Omega's hands shot out and a two energy disks. Forte managed to dodge the attack this time and let out a barrage of attacks at Omega. Omega just took all the hits and seemed to regenerate right after.

What a monster, I need more power to take him down. Forte changed his hands into sabers and slashed Omega. He managed to do some damage but Omega acted like he wasn't close at all. Forte ran closer and tried to attack again but Omega's arm grabbed him and he shot out an energy disk.

Forte was pushed back, and while he was stunned, Omega launched three energy balls from his chest once again, this time all of it hit Forte.

"Looks like the reploid wasn't such a threat to us after all, let's go Omega." Weil and Omega walked away as Forte stood up.

"This isn't over yet." Forte's armor glowed and wings appeared behind his back. "GOSPEL FORM!"

"Now it's getting interesting, Omega, destroy him." Omega fired three blasts aimed at Forte, but Forte flew between them and his right hand glowed. He dealt a devastating punch to Omega's chest and quickly flew away.

"GRRRR..." Omega's hands shot out and he launched a flurry of attacks both from his chest and hands.

Forte managed to come out with only a few hits. He used Copy Vision as a way to distract Omega. Omega fell for it and aims all his attacks at the Copy Vision, as Forte appears above him with two electric blades.

"ELECTRIC MAELSTORM!" The electric tempest created by Forte manages to damage Omega a lot, but was not able to lift him off the ground. When Forte finished that attacked, both his hands transforms into the face of a wolf. "GOSPEL BLAST!" A huge blast of energy managed to hit Omega, and Forte is now out of breath from the battle.

What he's still standing? I can't go on like this for much further. Forte watched as Weil seemed to lift up something that looked like a small device.

"Enough playing around Omega, finish him!" Weil clicked on the device he was holding and Forte covers his ears. What the heck is that noise? All my systems aren't responding normally. Omega raised his hand and prepared to finish Forte off. I need to get out of here, NOW! Before Omega's attack made contact, Forte was surrounded by a dark energy and he disappeared.

"Looks like he had one last trick up his sleeve, let's go Omega!" Weil chuckled, "It doesn't matter if he managed to escape, the device I activated will slowly shut down the systems of any reploid until they die."

Weil and Omega then teleported back to Neo Arcadia.

Neo Arcadia

"Can we really trust that man, Master X?" Hapuia voiced his doubts to X as he approached.

"Just because his actions lead to c-c-c-c-alamity, it doesn't make his exile j-j-j-justified. Besides, he has learned from his m-m-m-m-mistakes and will do things right th-this time."

Just then, Weil came in the room. "Thank you, Master X, I promise you that I will make sure that the Resistance don't get they're hands this time, still to talk about me behind my back, how the mighty Guardians have fallen."

"Weil, you…" before Harpuia could finish, he was cut off by Copy X.

"H-H-Harpuia, I'm tired of f-f-failures like you leading Neo Arcadia's a-a-armies. First you f-f-failed to defeat Zero, then you let E-E-Elpizo get his hands on the Dark E-E-Elf. I am assigning W-W-Weil to be in charge of our armies. You are d-d-dismissed, Harpuia." Harpuia teleported out of the room as Weil started speaking.

"Thank you, Master X, I will assure you that I won't let the Resistance get their hands on the Dark Elf again, you can count on me."

"Very w-w-well then, you are d-d-dismissed." Weil teleported out with a grin on his face. Everything is going according to plan.

Repair Room

"Well, how did it go Harpy?" Leviathan asks as Harpuia came back.

"It didn't go very well, Master X assigned Weil to be in charge of the armies." Harpuia sighed as he sat across the two Guardians.

"Oh great, we're even worse than when we started." Fefnir was still damaged and unable to battle, "so, what do we do now?"

"Weil is up to something, and it involves the Dark Elf. If we capture it before he does and run, then we should be able to stop whatever he is planning." Harpuia carefully said those words and gives the other two Guardians a chance to realize what he said.

"What you're talking about is treason Harpy, if we do that; we won't be able to come back to Neo Arcadia." Leviathan realized the consequences of those actions.

"Where are we suppose to go after we get the Dark Elf anyways?" Fefnir asked. Harpuia gave Fefnir a look. "Oh no, you aren't thinking of going to the Resistance are you?"

"It seems that we have no other choice other than that." Just then, Harpuia looked at the monitor. "The Dark Elf has been spotted! I'm going to retrieve it." Before Harpuia could move, he was stopped by Leviathan.

"Your repairs aren't done yet, Harpy, I'll take care of this one." Harpuia sighed, "alright, just be careful."

"Aren't I always?" Leviathan teleported out of the room and prepared for pursuit of the Dark Elf.
