Well guys, here's another fight outside of the game. Tell me what you think about this one:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Resistance Trailer
"Using the Teleporter Base, we can transfer you to Ragnarok, but you'll have to disable the protection around Ragnarok on your own." Rouge explains the situation after Zero warps back.
"How do I do that?" Ciel turns to answer Zero's question.
"Whenever we transfer you somewhere, we transform you into program data and send you over a circuit. I can modify the transfer program to allow you to move freely inside of the circuit." Rouge continues Ciel's explanation.
"It superimposes visuals on the circuit so you can tell what's going on… That way, you can navigate from Teleporter Base to Ragnarok via something similar to Cyberspace. If you head to the end of towards the end of the circuit, you should be able to disable the security program. With that out of the way, we will be able to transfer you over."
Author's Note: For those of you who didn't understand it, think of it this way. It's like the operator or Ciel saying: Plug-in, Zero, Transmission!
"Alright, then transfer me." Zero warps out of the room and inside the Teleporter Circuit.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Teleporter Circuit
"So this is the inside of the Teleporter Circuit?" Zero looks around the room and finds colors everywhere. "It looks a lot like Cyberspace."
"Zero, come in!"
Zero turns on his communicator and speaks to Rouge. "Yes?"
"Your mission is to destroy the protection program up ahead. Even in the Teleporter Circuit, you will still encounter enemies, so be careful."
"Alright, I'm on my way." Zero dashes forward, slicing and blasting at every enemy in the way.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Good job, the security circuit has been disabled. You can head to Ragnarok anytime you want now, hurry back."
"Alright I'm on my way. Operator, prepare to transfer me."
"Just wait for a moment." The operator pauses for a while. "Zero… signal… Circuit…" The communicator stops responding as Zero puts it against his ear. Oh great, I guess there's going to be another enemy.
A light goes into the room as another reploid enters. I knew it! Zero waits to get a better look at the reploid. "Forte!? What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to fight you!" Forte transforms his arms into sabers as he waits for Zero.
"You can't be serious! I need to stop Ragnarok right now!" Zero tries to get a signal through to the Resistance Trailer, but only gets static.
"I've never been more serious about anything else in my life. You can't stop Ragnarok if you're dead!" Forte teleports in front of Zero as Zero gets out his Z-Saber. The three swords clash and Forte rips the Z-Saber out of Zero's hands with one swift movement.
Forte follows up by slashing at Zero. He's too fast! Forte jumps into the air and charges at Zero, but Zero gets out his Z-Buster and shoots straight through Forte's chest. Forte falls down.
Did I get him? The figure on the ground disappears as Zero feels electricity surging through his back. "Is that the best you can do, Zero!?" Forte appears behind him and raises his buster up.
"I expected more from you." Forte raises his hand up and transforms it into a machine gun. Forte fires at Zero multiple times, bring him down to his knees. "Why don't you transform, Zero? That will make things a bit more interesting. In fact, I'll be generous and allow you to do that right now."
Zero grabs onto his saber and transforms. He appears in front of Forte and brings his Z-Saber down, but Forte blocks it with his bare hands. What!? How did he get so strong?
"You disappoint me, Zero." Forte transforms his free hand into a saber and slashes at Zero, sending him tumbling back. "I thought that I would need to at least go all out against you."
Forte moves closer as dark energy gathers around his hands. I need to move! Forte fires a charged shot at Zero, destroying the wall. "It was too easy…"
Forte turns and prepares to leave but looks at his chest to see the green tip of a saber coming out. Forte turns, slightly interested. "I see you've got your fighting spirit back." Forte brings his hand out and fires a shot at Zero, but Zero jumps out of the way.
"I won't lose here. I've still have people I need to protect!" Forte looks at Zero and smiles.
"Have you forgotten I'm still not at full power yet?" Forte raises his hand up as his armor transforms into a gold color. "Let's see how well you can do against me, Zero." Zero dashes at Forte, swing his Z-Saber in an arc.
Forte sidesteps and dodges the attack. Zero lands and spins, knocking Forte down to the ground.
"I'll make you pay for that!" Forte gets up and jumps into the air, disappearing. Where is he? Zero turns around and finds Forte in front of him.
"I've got you now!" Zero swings his Z-Saber, sending an ice blade. The shot goes straight through Forte, but doesn't leave any signs of damage. What!? Zero feels an attack pierce him from behind and finds three Fortes.
Which one is real!? Zero sees the one in the middle attacking and manages to avoid the attack. The shot creates a small dent in the wall after making contact. I see, so that one's real!
Zero dashes forward and slashes at Forte, pushing him to the wall. He turns to find another shot coming at him, hitting him in the chest. They're all real! I need to find the original Forte.
Zero continues dodging and shooting with his Z-Buster when he gets the chance. At the end, Zero manages to defeat all the Fortes. None of them were real, where's the real Forte?
Zero looks around the room and finds Forte. "I got you now!" Zero grabs his saber and charges. He slashes at Forte, but he just disappears. That one wasn't real either! Forte appears behind him and launches a charged shot in his back, sending Zero to his knees.
I still need to stop Ragnarok… I won't let anyone stop me. Too many people are counting on me, too many people have already suffered enough. Forte walks forward, transforming his right arm into a sword. Forte raises the sword up and brings it down, but Zero manages to get up meet it with his Z-Saber.
"What!? You're matching my power." Forte pushes harder on his blade. Zero matches the power as Forte tries to overpower him. "How did you get enough power to do this?" Zero pushes Forte's sword back and slashes at him in the chest.
"I won't lose here. I made a promise that I intend to keep, even if it costs me my life!" Zero dashes at Forte and executes an uppercut with his Z-Saber. Forte jumps into the air and brings down his sword to meet Zero's.
Forte pushes Zero down and fires a charged shot with his buster, hitting Zero in the leg. "I don't know how you were so powerful back then, but it didn't seem to last long enough." Forte transforms his arm into sabers and goes towards Zero.
Zero fires an ice shot on the ground to freeze it and slow Forte, but Forte just jumps over it and slashes downwards, cutting Zero in the chest. Forte transforms his arm into a buster and shoots at Zero, hitting him three times.
"Give up, Zero. You've already lost. I was stronger than you from the start, do you really think you can win." Zero stands up and starts to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"Do you really think that pure power is the only thing that determines strength? True strength comes has nothing to do with that!"
"That's a laugh. I'll test out your theory right here, let's see if your so-called true strength is a match for me!" Forte raises his buster up and fires five purple spheres.
What's he up to? The spheres start to circle around the room as Forte raises his hand towards Zero. "Get him!"
Electricity starts to shoot out of the spheres, hitting Zero from all directions. There's too many of them! Zero jumps to avoid one attack, but gets hit by another one from above. Zero charges toward Forte with his Z-Saber in hand, but gets shot down by a stream of electricity.
The five spheres retreat back to Forte's buster as he raises it up and points it at Zero. "I've shot you down countless times, and yet you don't give up. What is it that allows you to endure all this!?"
Forte shoots Zero and kicks him to the other side of the room. "What do you have that I don't!?" Forte shoots one more blast, but it misses Zero.
Zero raises his buster up and fires an explosive shot at Forte. Forte jumps away but meets Zero's saber.
"You've only gotten stronger since the fight began! What is it that allows you to this!?" Forte transforms his arms into blades and clashes with Zero's Z-Saber. Forte manages to push him down to the ground and he stabs his blade through Zero's shoulder.
"Tell me what your strength is!"
"Ciel has a dream of humans and reploids living together. I care about her and want to see her happy. I won't rest until I help make her dream come true!" Zero grabs Forte's saber and rips it out of his shoulder, screaming in the process.
"What!? You should be exhausted by now! How are you still moving!?" Forte fires his buster, but Zero slams his saber on the ground, sending an ice wave at Forte.
Forte gets hit by the ice wave and Zero continues slashing with his Z-Saber. "Under normal circumstances, I would have fallen already. However, I won't let Ragnarok fall. There are people counting on me!"
"Fine, then get ready for round two, Zero." Forte transforms again, getting a smaller and more agile armor. "This is my final form. The real fight starts here."
