Well, it's finally spring break and that means more updates! Anyways, to answer some of the reviews:

ZBoi: Omega won't be making another appearance for a very very VERY long time after this chapter, and as for CielxZero, I've got something planned for that.

NeoCopyman: Zero has a lot of ultimate forms/armors, so let's just use this one for now. As for lemons, I know what they are, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to write them very well, but I'll be putting some scandals in the relationships soon.

ZEROfromtheOTHERDIMENSION: I feel sorry for him too, but things are about to get even more complicated for him after this chapter. Sorry, I've got nothing against him, but he's the easiest character to torture XD.

Well, I think that's it, on with the chapter:

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

Ragnarok Ruins

"Do you think that controlling an injured body is going to help you defeat me?" Yuriskah points at Forte's missing arm to prove his point, but Omega just smiles. Wires begin to extend from Forte's shoulders until they take up the same space as his arms.

The pieces of Ragnarok around them begin to gather with the wire and the metal begins to glow. The light fades and Forte has both his arms as though he's never been injured. "I guess that solves that problem."

A violet saber appears in Omega's right hand and he begins dashing at his two opponents. Omega slashes at Yuriskah, but the silver haired reploid jumps back to avoid the attack. Zero fires from his Z-Buster at Omega, but he transforms his arm into a stronger buster and fires back.

Omega's violet shot absorbs Zero's and heads toward the black and blue armored reploid. Zero holds onto his Z-Saber with both his hands and puts it in front of him to block the attack. The violet energy blast pushes Zero back as he digs his foot into the ground. That was a close one, I can't afford to get hit by any of Omega's attacks.

Zero looks down on his hand and notices chains wrapped around it. Zero follows the chains to find that Omega's the wielder.

That weapon's like the chain rod I used to have.Zero tries to break free, but his efforts are in vain as Omega yanks the chain. Zero's feet leave the ground as the chain drags him toward Omega. Zero looks at Omega's violet saber aimed at him, preparing himself for an attack, but it never comes.

"You shouldn't have turned your back on me!" Zero makes out the tip of Yuriskah's sword coming out of Omega's chest as black and purple bits of armor begin to fall off. "I'll destroy the two of you right here!"

Yuriskah's sword begins to glow and a huge energy blast is launched from the sword, blowing both Zero and Omega aside.

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

Guardian HQ

"More mechaniloids have been detected approaching from the south. There's too many of them!" The operator types on the keyboard as red dots begin to appear on the radar. "We've just lost contact with another squadron."

"Our men need all the help that they can get right now." Prairie bites her lip as she looks at their rapidly dwindling numbers. "I'm going out there to help!"

"Wait, Commander!" The operator calls out to Prairie, but she's already out the door as the last syllable leaves the operator's mouth. She turns to look at Ciel, and Ciel nods.

"I'm going out there to help her. The rest of you can take over here." Ciel looks around at all the operators as they nod. Ciel exits the room as well, causing the door to close behind her.

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

Outside Guardian HQ

"You decided to come as well, Sis?" Prairie looks at Ciel as she reaches into her coat and pulls out a pistol.

"Of course, I'm not just going to stand by and watch our forces die out." The two of them stand together as mechaniloids begin to surround them. Prairie shoots a pantheon in the eye and takes it out in one shot.

Ciel reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small round object. She throws it at a nearby mechaniloid and four spider-like legs begin to grow out of it and attach itself to the mechaniloid. Electricity surges through the mechaniloid before it falls down.

Prairie and Ciel run past the mechaniloids while destroying anyone in their way as they run to the nearest squadron of Guardians.

"Commander Prairie! What are you doing here?" A soldier notices Prairie and Ciel enter the battlefield and the others briefly turn to confirm what they heard.

"We've come to help. What's your current situation?"

"There are only twelve of us left in this squadron and all the others have been sent to the medic wing." Prairie nods as everyone turns their attention to the approaching mechaniloids.

"There's almost no end to them. Don't give up, everyone." The Guardians all fire along with Prairie and Ciel as the mechaniloids get in firing range, but for every mechaniloid they shoot down, there seems to be two more.

"Commander, there's another group of mechaniloids approaching from behind!" An operator warns Prairie through her communicator and she quickly ducks as a galleon hunter with a jetpack misses her.

Prairie aims her pistol and shoots at the airborne enemy. Her energy bullet flies through the air and pierces the galleon hunter's jetpack. It begins to sizzle and then the jetpack explodes, taking care of all the aerial mechaniloids.

"Commander, look out!" Prairie turns just in time to see a soldier jumping in front of her, getting shot in the chest as blood begins to pour out of his wound. The soldier falls back as Prairie catches him in her arms.

"Operators, teleport this soldier to the medic wing immediately!"

"Right away," The bleeding soldier gets surrounded in a bright blue light as he disappears. Prairie hears more cries of pain as she continues to shoot down the mechaniloids. There's too many of them! We need some help and we need it fast.

Soon, only Ciel and Prairie are left as the two of them begin panting heavily. "Sis, are you alright?"

"Just a bit tired, but I can still manage." The two of them stand back to back as mechaniloids form in a circle around them. "Get ready. We'll create a path, you follow my lead." Prairie nods as she begins shooting at the nearest mechaniloid.

The two of them begin running through the mechaniloids as they dodge any attacks before breaking through the crowd.

"Alright, on my signal, run as fast as you can." Ciel reaches into her pocket and pulls out a round device. She presses a button on it and drops it. "Now!" The two of them run as mechaniloids begin to chase them.

A huge explosion wipes out the pursuing mechaniloids, but Prairie and Ciel manage to dodge the blunt of the blast. "Did we get them all?" Prairie backs up a bit, but feels her back touching something metallic and realizes her situation too late as robotic hands grab her arms.

Prairie drops her pistol and turns to Ciel to see that a pantheon's captured her as well. Two more pantheons armed with electric blades appear as they step closer to Ciel and Prairie.

I have to get free quick! I just need to reach… Ciel looks at the pantheon getting closer and moves her arm a bit as the hilt of a knife drops from her sleeves. Ciel presses a button on the hilt and a short electric blade ignites.

Ciel slams the knife into the leg of the pantheon holding her. Its grip loosens and Ciel pulls the knife out, rolling away to avoid the attack. She tosses the knife upon landing, hitting the blade pantheon and short circuiting it. Ciel retrieves the dagger and looks to find Prairie still being held by the pantheon.

As the blade pantheon nears Prairie, the Guardian Commander whips around, using her captor as a shield against the electric blade. The grip on Prairie's shoulder weakens and she breaks free, grabbing her pistol.

Prairie pulls the trigger and a yellow bullet pierces through the two pantheons. They fall down as she looks at Ciel. "That was close. What? There are more of them?"

Ciel turns to the direction that Prairie's facing to find more mechaniloids approaching. The two of them look around, but notice that they're surrounded. "Do you have any more weapons that will take them all out?"

"No, I've nothing left." Ciel reaches her pocket and pulls it out empty handed to prove her point. Prairie aims her pistol at a nearby galleon hunter and pulls the trigger, but nothing comes out.

"I'm out of ammunition. This is bad." The ground trembles beneath Prairie's feet and she's knocked down to the ground as a yellow worm mechaniloid made out of many octagonal metal shapes appears from the ground. Ciel slashes at the worm with her dagger, but the yellow mechanoid merely flinches.

It's no good, my dagger isn't strong enough to pierce it! Ciel turns as a pantheon fires a bullet aimed for her head. Ciel's movement causes the bullet to hit her shoulder instead and she cries out in pain as she falls to the ground.

Prairie grabs onto Ciel's dagger and tries to stand up, but the worm mechaniloid uses its pincers to nail the Guardian Commander to the ground. Red laser dots begin to form all over Ciel and Prairie as the mechaniloids take aim.

We could really use some help right about now… A large blue blast shoots through the worm mechaniloids and a bunch of others as X lowers his buster. "You guys finally decided to come."

"Just thank us for coming at all." The others teleport in as they begin to separate and destroy the mechaniloids. Prairie and Ciel look around and notice the people missing.

"Where's Zero and Forte? For that matter, where's Pandora and Prometheus?" Both Prairie and Ciel look around worriedly.

"Zero's still fighting, but I'm not sure about the others." X turns to shoot down another mechaniloid. "Vent, look out!"

A clawed pantheon jumps down from a nearby tree and lunges at Vent, but it burns in flames before it could reach the chosen one.

"As much as I'd like to see you get killed, it just isn't the same unless I'm the cause of it." Prometheus appears and later Pandora descends from the air.

"Alright, let's do this." Everyone gets out their weapons as they charge at the incoming mechaniloids.

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

Ragnarok Ruins

"Ouch, that hurt." Omega stands back up as the hole in his stomach slowly begins to heal. "You know, I'm starting to get fond of this body. It's almost as good as the last time I took over Forte."

"Well, don't get too comfortable, because you aren't staying for long!" Zero charges at Omega, but the black reploid flies into the air. Omega transforms his hand into a buster and aims it downwards at Zero. Zero jumps back to avoid the attack, but Omega flies forward and his attack slices Zero's left shoulder, causing blood to drop to the floor.

"Now it's your turn." Omega descends from the sky as he walks toward the silver haired reploid. "I'll make you pay for what you tried to pull." A violet saber forms in Omega's right hand and his chain forms in the other.

Yuriskah separates his sword into two blades and Omega ties his saber to the edge of the chain. Omega spins the chain above his head, causing the sand to fly everywhere and mask his presence.

Yuriskah ducks as Omega's violet saber flies towards him. The saber gets stuck to a rock pillar and he begins to dash forward, following the chains to find Omega.

"I have you now!" Yuriskah jumps into the air as Omega enters his line of vision. His blades are raised in the air as he prepares to strike the other black reploid.

"Think again!" Omega pulls on the chain and a large pierce of rock hits Yursikah and slams the silver haired reploid onto the ground. A sickening crack sound is heard as Omega pulls the violet saber from the stone.

"OMEGA!" Omega sidesteps as Zero's blade narrowly misses him. Omega's hand touches Zero's chest as it transforms into a buster. Before the black reploid could fire, a purple laser pierces him below the chest, causing him to fall to the ground.

"You think that's enough to stop me!?" Omega stands back up and pauses for a moment. "What!? Why can't I heal?"

Yuriskah aims his pistol at the rock and fires, shattering it into pieces and then retrieving his two sabers and putting away his pistol. "Don't forget that I know about the body you're in a lot better than you do. That includes exactly where the repair systems are located."
Yuriskah turns to look at Zero. "The two of you will both die here. I wonder, Zero, if I should maybe take you to Guardian HQ to see the dead corpse of your girlfriend before your death. Wouldn't that sound nice?"

"Don't hold your breath. Ciel isn't going to die so easily!" Zero looks at the silver haired figure, but hears a slight hint of worry in his own voice.

"Well, you obviously haven't seen the amount of mechaniloids I've sent to attack Guardian HQ. Besides, even if she does manage to survive somehow, I'll promise you that I can track her down so she can join you."

"Shut up!" Zero fires his Z-Buster at Yuriskah, but the blast doesn't even hit the silver haired reploid. I need to try and think clearly, he's just trying to mess with my head.

Yuriskah puts his two sabers together into a sword as he jumps at Zero. Zero holds onto the hilt of his saber with both his hands as he blocks Yuriskah's attack.

"Do the two of you think you'll be able to get rid of me that easily!?" Omega spreads his wings and flies into the sky. He raises a finger upwards as storm clouds begin to form above them.

Zero and Yuriskah break apart to avoid a huge lightning blast, but Omega launches a wave from his violet saber. "I don't need to recover to defeat the two of you!"

I can't fight the two of them at once. I need to take down one of them quickly. Zero runs to a tall rock pillar and begins running up at a ninety degree angle. Omega fires his buster, but Zero jumps to another pillar as that one crumbles.

"You're mine!" Yuriskah appears above Omega and slices his sword down, but the blade just goes through the black reploid. "Copy vision," Yuriskah scans the area for any signs of Omega, but is interrupted by Zero firing his Z-Buster at him.

Yuriskah is knocked away by the attack, but the energy blast disappears just as his feet touch a rock pillar. The silver haired reploid pushes off the rock and lunges at Zero with his sword.

The two of them meet in mid-air, but a purple blast from above sends them both tumbling down. This can't go on. I need to defeat Omega and quickly!

Omega lands before Zero and he raises his saber, poised to strike. Zero's hands clap around the violet blade as he tries to push Omega back. "Just accept your fate, Zero! You're nothing!"

"That's… not… true!" Zero pushes Omega off with his feet, but Omega's wings spread out as he avoids landing violently on the ground.

Zero feels a searing pain from behind as the tip of Yuriskah's blade almost makes contact with his neck. This just really isn't my day today.

"This is just perfect! I have the two of you right where I want you!" Omega's buster begins to charge as Yuriskah lets go. Omega fires and the large purple blast heads toward Zero. It's too fast, I can't avoid it!

Zero falls down to the ground as his helmet begins to crack. His helmet shatters, fully revealing his blond hair.

Omega gives Zero one last glance before moving toward the silver haired reploid. "You've been a thorn in our side for far too long. If it was any other situation, I might've offered you to join us."

"I'm not planning to take orders from a floating piece of metal like the rest of you." Yuriskah gets out his twin pistols and begins shooting at Omega, but the black reploid just uses his wings to shield himself from the attack.

"I'll show you just how weak you are compared to me!" Omega's hands turn into flamethrowers as green flames surround the two reploids, creating a ring. "Now you won't be able to escape!"

Omega gets out his chain and attaches his violet saber to it again. He goes to the middle of the ring as his saber begins to glow.

"Are you planning to try and finish me off by throwing your chain around again?"

"Not quite." Omega raises the chain above his head and begins swinging it around in a clockwise direction. Yuriskah moves back to avoid getting hit by the attack. "It's over." Omega's saber begins to glow, creating a large ring of violet light.

The light begins to spread out and engulf Yursikah, causing his armor to crack. The light dims and Omega looks down to see blood staining the sand. He looks at the badly injured Yuriskah and smiles. "One more should finish you off!"

Omega begins spinning his chain again as Yuriskah stands up. "This… is my last chance…" Yuriskah runs forward and grabs onto the edge of Omega's chain with his right hand, stopping its movements.

A sword appears on the silver haired reploid's left hand as he begins charging forward at the black reploid. Yuriskah swings his sword after closing the gap, but screams in pain as Omega's hand punches through his stomach.

"That was a smart move, trying to stop my attack, but in the end, you're just too slow!" Omega takes his hand out as Yuriskah falls to the ground. "Now disappear from this world."

Yuriskah smiles as his lower body begins to break down into small particles of light. "As long as Forte exists, I'll never disappear from this world." Yuriskah's head disappears as well as the ring of fire dies down.

Omega goes up to Zero. "Now, Zero, should we finish what we started all those years ago?"

Zero coughs out a bit of blood as Omega picks him up by his collar. "You're nothing but a coward, Omega. Why don't you fight me in your real body?"

"Actually, that's not a bad idea. Once I destroy you, maybe I should take over your body. Wouldn't that be just perfect? All your friends cheering once they think you've managed to win, and the next thing they know, the Z-Saber would be pierced through their heart."

"I won't let that happen!"

"Well, it's already too late now, there's nothing left you can do. You can probably feel all your systems shutting down one by one as we speak. Which one of your friends do you think would look best with the Z-Saber through their chest, how about Ciel?"

"Shut up!" Zero grabs his Z-Saber and he swipes at Omega. Omega lets go of Zero's collar and backs away. "This is for what you did one hundred years ago!" Zero fires his Z-Buster as Omega takes to the air.

"And this is for what you said about Ciel!" Zero slams his hand down to the ground as light rays rain down from the sky.

"What!? You shouldn't have enough energy for this type of attack!" Omega shields himself with his wings, but the force of the attack pushes him to the ground.

Zero's blade gets engulfed in flames as he performs a flaming uppercut on the falling Omega, ripping through his armor as his wings open up in response, allowing the light to pierce his stomach.

Zero looks at the defeated Omega as the black reploid tries to stand up. Zero's armor reverts back to a red color as he looks at Omega. "I won't let any of my friends be harmed."

Omega smiles, "Unless you don't count Forte as your friend, you've done just that. This isn't over yet, hypocrite, I'll always be there no matter how hard you run. Now that you've killed Forte, what makes you any different from me?" Omega surrounds his body and face with his purple and black wings as they slowly begin to disappear.

When his wings fully disappear, Zero sees Forte in his black and orange armor and catches the small reploid in his arms. "Forte!"

"Zero… Is this what it's like… to die?"

"Don't say that! You're not going to die now…" Zero looks down at Forte's armor and sees that it's already beginning to break into fragments like Yuriskah.

"Tell the others, that I'm sorry that I couldn't…" Forte closes his eyes as his whole body transforms into fragments of light. Zero looks at his blank hands as Omega's words return to him.

"FORTE!" Zero slams his fist down to the ground as he looks around. Although the crimson reploid has managed to stop Omega, he knows this is nowhere near a victory.

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

Whew, that took a long time to write. I know the ending for the fight's sorta cliché, but I was running out of time and needed to end it fast. It's not over for Forte yet, but just keep reading as I update to find out what happens. Remember to leave a review :).
