Yuriskah isn't actually in the game. He's an original character who will serve a very important part in the story later, anyways, here's the next chapter:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Outside Guardian HQ

"So, you're actually serious about wanting to fight. Guess I have no other choice!" Zero charges at Yuriskah and swings his Z-Saber, but Yuriskah dodges the attack. What!? He's fast enough to avoid the Z-Saber, what is he!?

"I've been waiting to try my new toy. I've only acquired it yesterday." Yuriskah reaches into his pocket as he gets surrounded by a bright light. "Rock-on!"

His hair transforms into a blond color, leaving only a few streaks of silver. His armor transforms into a darker red color than when Vent and Aile use Model ZX. A green saber appears in his hand and a dark red helmet covers his head. "Let's just see what's stronger, Model ZX or you!"

Yuriskah charges at Zero but Zero puts his saber up as well as the two of them meet. He's got more fighting experience than the chosen ones, but he said he only acquired the biometals yesterday!

"Too slow…" Yuriskah gets out his Z-Buster and fires at Zero, knocking him back and Yuriskah follows up with a charged slash at Zero, knocking him back even more. "Is that the best you can do?"

"You wish!" Zero stands back up and brushes the dust off his armor. "You managed to catch me off guard last time. Don't expect to get lucky again!"

Yuriskah raises his saber in the air as Zero dashes toward him. "It's over now!" Yuriskah brings down his saber, launching a sonic wave towards Zero. Zero disappears and reappears behind Yuriskah, slashing at him until Yuriskah turns. Zero disappears again and reappears behind Yuriskah, launching a charged Z-Buster to knock him back.

Time to end this! Zero dashes after Yuriskah and brings down his Z-Saber, but Yuriskah blocks it with his own. "You know that you've backed yourself into a corner! Even you can tell I'm stronger in this situation!" Zero brings his Z-Saber down more to prove his point.

Just a bit more… Yuriskah laughs as his saber transforms into a purple color and his armor green. Another purple saber appears on his left hand and he uses it to slash at Zero, making him lose his balance.

Yuriskah slashes again with his right saber and then launches two shockwaves in an X pattern at Zero. Zero uses his Z-Saber to guard against the attack, but he isn't able to deflect the attack and gets pushed against a tree.

"Plantman didn't just get the data for Model ZX, you know. He managed to retrieve the data for all six biometals, so I created a replication of all six of them." Zero stands back up.

"You're saying that you're nothing but a fake chosen one?"

"The biometals are just a means of fighting until I get what I'm after. Besides, just because it isn't created by Dr. Ciel, doesn't mean it won't work as well. I've made a few improvements, such as being able to transform on the spot." Yuriskah changes back to Model ZX. "I'll just use this form since I want to see the legendary reploid get defeated by his own weapon!"

Yuriskah pauses for a moment. "You're one to talk, Zero. After all, isn't your body nothing but a fake as well?"

"How do you know about that?"

"I know a lot of things, it isn't your business what my source is." Yurikah jumps into the air and goes down on Zero with his Z-Saber. Their two sabers meet, seeming evenly matched. This isn't enough to defeat me! Zero quickly lowers his blade and ducks under Yuriskah's swing.

Zero uses a blazing uppercut to attack Yuriskah and send him up into the sky. He aims his Z-Buster, but Yuriskah's armor changes again and he counters with an electric tornado. The wind's too strong! Yuriskah goes to the center of the tornado without being affected and sends a electric wave at Zero, knocking him out of the gale winds.

"Well, I thought that I'd be able to defeat you using only one biometal, but it seems I underestimated you." Yuriskah takes to the air in his new armor. Yuriskah transforms again into Model FX and descends toward Zero with his fist glowing red.

There's no way I can block that attack! Zero jumps out of the way as Yuriskah's fist touches the ground. A huge explosion of fire engulfs Zero just as Yuriskah's attack makes contact with the ground, knocking him out of the air as Yuriskah transforms back to Model ZX.

At least I managed to slightly avoid the attack. If he made a direct hit, I would've been done for. "Well, has the legendary hero finally decided to give up?" Yuriskah starts moving closer.

With one swift movement, Zero dashes off and brings out his Z-Saber, lunging at Yuriskah. The shot connects, piercing some of Yuriskah's armor as electricity comes out. Zero prepares to pierces him even more, but Yuriskah transforms into Model PX and puts up a barrier, knocking Zero back.

"I'll make you pay for that!" Yuriskah dashes at Zero as Zero brings his Z-Saber up. Zero slashes at Yuriskah, but he goes straight through Zero and throws a large shuriken from behind. "DIE!"

Zero sidesteps and grabs onto the shuriken. Zero swiftly spins and throws the shuriken back at Yuriskah, catching him off guard and piercing him in the right shoulder. "I've seen Vent and Aile use all the biometals, you won't be able to catch me off guard that easily!"

"We'll just see about that!" Yuriskah dashes at Zero as Zero braces for the same technique. Yuriskah goes through Zero again and Zero turns, expecting to find a shuriken. What!?

Two Z-Sabers appear on Yuriskah's hands as he slashes at Zero, making an X shaped cross on his armor. "How did you…"

"This isn't just a replication of the biometals. I created them to suit my own combat style, so I am able to briefly use the weapons or abilities of other models even when I'm not using them." His two Z-Sabers disappear. "What you saw just then was a combination of Model ZX's and HX's saber."

Zero fires a charged Z-Buster blast at Yuriskah, but he manages to avoid the attack. Zero appears behind Yuriskah in mid air and slashes at him, sending him downwards. Zero follows up with a few shots from his Z-Buster and then a downward stab.

"This isn't over yet…" Zero prepares to bring his Z-Saber down on Yuriskah, but feels a halberd pierce his chest before he manages to reach Yuriskah. Yuriskah's dark purple armor transforms into a light blue color as Zero falls to the ground.

I didn't want to use this, but… "It's over now, Zero…" Yuriskah prepares to bring his Halberd down on Zero, but it breaks from a blast by the Z-Buster. "What!?"

Zero stands back up. His armor is a black color and he brings out his Z-Saber. "This is where it ends, Yuriskah!" Yuriskah stands back up, but Zero appears in front of him and uses the hilt of his saber to bring Yuriskah into the air.

Yuriskah uses Model HX to be suspended in the air, but Zero appears behind him and launches a Z-Buster shot close up. Yuriskah reverts to his original form and attempts to stand back up. He stops while kneeling as Zero puts his Z-Saber against Yuriskah's neck.

"It's over now. If you come with me to Ciel and answer a few questions, then I'll spare you."

"It's not over yet!" Yuriskah reaches into his pocket and draws a purple blade. It isn't as strong as the other blades he used during the fight with Zero, but it gets the job done as he slashes at Zero, making him lose grip on his Z-Saber.

Zero grabs onto his Z-Saber again, but a white light surrounds Yuriskah as he begins to warp out. Zero tries to slash at him, but the white barrier deflects all his attacks.

"What are you after, Yuriskah!?"

"I'm after what everyone else is after, power. Be prepared for the next time we battle, I have no doubt that we'll meet again." Yuriskah disappears with the white light as Zero stands there. His armor begins to revert back to its red color as he moves toward Guardian HQ. I better go help Ciel and the others for now.

Zero looks at the area where Yuriskah was standing at just a few seconds ago. He seems to know a lot about me and the others. Where did eh learn all of this!? Zero decides to shrug the question off until later and enters Guardian HQ.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I trust that you've brought us the designs to the Ciel System?" Yuriskah hands Shademan a chip. Shademan inserts it into the computer as data starts to get on the monitor. "Excellent…"

"Well, seeing as how I've fulfilled my part of the bargain, I'll be taking my leave now." Yuriskah warps out of the area, leaving Shademan and the others.

"Well, would now be a good time to attack, Lord Shademan?" Burnerman looks at the data on the monitor, but Shademan shakes his head, signaling a no.

"We'll need a bit of time to build the Ciel System, and then we'll use its massive supply of energy to build a never ending army!" Shademan and the others start to laugh, but Burnerman decides to bring up a problem.

"During our attack on the Guardians, there was another group there as well. What are we going to do about Model W and his group?" Shademan thinks the question over for a moment.

"How many were there?"

"Only three reploids, but they are very powerful. Two of them are pretty even when it comes to power, but I can't tell how strong the other one is."

"If that's the case, then we'll continue with our plans once the Ciel System is finished. It doesn't matter how strong they are once our plans begin."
