Chapter 22: The Group Joins Together
Fate finish casting something that she was doing once in a while. She look at her chips and put them in a case.
"Finally the weapon drive magic chips are done. Now lets test them out against you brother. It is something that I should have done sooner but you now make it clear that you do not want to be saved. You have broken my heart and now it is time for me to kill you once and for all," thought Fate as she looks at Rider, Axl, Sniper, Athena, Magician, Marone, and Iris. Rider keeps sharpen her harpoons and hooks. Axl just stood there waiting. Marone recharge her gun. Magician checks on Iris. Iris is still asleep. Sniper keeps her eye ahead while Athena has a worried look on her.
"This looks bad. Omega has turned evil and we are here waiting for Iris to get up," said Sniper as she broke the silence.
"Great a reploid went maverick. Not a good sign," said Axl as he got his two guns ready.
"Wait, did you say Omega?" asked Athena who stood right next to Sniper. Sniper looks at Athena in normal vision.
"Yes. It seems your reprogramming was all in vain," said Sniper. Athena looks down.
"Not all is in vain. If I can get through to him. I can reactivate him back," said Magician, "After all, he does love me."
"I hope for your sake it does work or we will all be killed very quickly," said Sniper.
"I do not understand I thought my reprogramming has kicked in and the old programming erased," said Athena.
"Probably there is a backup program that you did not find and that is what Dr. Weil uses. After all, he built Omega to be like Zero," said Axl.
"No he is Zero. Well the body at least. Zero's original body was destroyed once and was never found. Dr. Cain makes a replica of Zero's body and uses his memory hard drive in it," said Rider.
"The original body never have been found until Dr. Weil discovers it. The arrogant fool put his programming and that is how Omega is created," said Fate.
"So another words we are dealing with a maverick Zero and the other Zero is out there fighting him," said Axl.
"More like dealing with three people. Zero has to deal with Dr. Weil, Reaper, and Omega," said Sniper as she went back to look at the group who is fighting with her ability.
"What is the problem?" yawns Iris as she woke up. Everyone looks with the exception of Sniper.
"Omega is the problem. His original programming took over. I am still stumped on that. I thought I got rid of it a long time ago when he was brought to me," said Athena.
"Well can I have E-Crystals so we can go and stop him and end this fight. I do not like fighting," said Iris, "Even though I have been in few fights."
"Well you can always stay here while the rest of us is going to battle and kick some people's butt," said Marone.
"Cousin this is the time where your mouth needs to be shut," said Magician. Marone looks at Magician annoyed.
"Iris there is times when fighting is the only option. There is times where it is not. The times where it is not can be avoided. However, these times it is unavoidable. As much as I am a military reploid, I also knows how it is to feel trapped in battle and also knows how it is to feel peace. If I can change something, I would change the time when Sigma's minions came and made me gone Maverick. I could have avoided that but I didn't. Now I feel like I need to make up for it," said Sniper.
"I suppose," said Iris as she takes the E-Crystals and use them. Sniper looks ahead and saw the huge group losing the fight.
"We do need to hurry. Or else we lose them all. By the looks of it the battle of 3 verses 11 is not good and the odds are against us," said Sniper.
"Well I better find a strategy to defeat either one," said Axl. Rider looks at Axl and looks at the group.
"We are not very much help. The best we can give is range support," said Rider. Athena looks at the group.
"Majority of us have either weapons that are range fighting or abilities that are range fighting. I see why you send the other group first. Most of them are close range combatants and we are range combatants," said Athena.
"That is the main plan but we have to go now or we will lose our comrades in this fight," said Rider as Iris finish her E-Crystals.
"Well I finish lets go and save them," said Iris. The others nodded and started to head out. Sniper leads as she wants to make sure that no one is getting hurt and she keeps a brief tabs on the fight. Meanwhile┘ Berserker holds off Omega while the other two is concentrated on the other fighters. Omega knocked Berserker back but Berserker came back up and was damage.
"You are a stubborn reploid that won't just quit," said Omega to Berserker. Berserker looks at Omega.
"It take more than that attack just to kill me," said Berserker as he started his fire punches again.
"Well lets see how much can you take before you hit to the scrap yard," said Omega as he did his shockwaves attack. Omega takes them and fell down again. The others were also down. Next thing a laser fire at Dr. Weil, a snipe shot hit Reaper, and a harpoon almost hit Omega. The three people look and found 8 more just arrived.
"So more people are here," said Dr. Weil, "Doesn't matter all of you are joining as mavericks. These ones broke the laws of robotics."
"That law has change over the years. What you remember is define Maverick is now different during this time. If someone is corrupted something, that is called Maverick. In this time of age, you will be called an irregular since the term Maverick is old saying. Sometimes it slips but that word is not a label anymore," said Marone.
"Well nice talk for a reploid like yourself but you will die right now," said Omega to Marone.
"Hah. I think not. You have to handle all of us if you want to get to her," said Rider as she got another harpoon ready.
"Well the reploid protecting another reploid," said Dr. Weil as both Magician and Marone got mad.
"We are human for the matter of speaking. Since you keep saying you are human then us as my cousin and I killing you does not take the effect of a maverick," said Marone.
"Well then that makes a difference you will die for not obeying the rules of Neo Arcadia," said Dr. Weil.
"We see about that," said Marone as she shot another laser shot at Dr. Weil. Omega came in a blazing speed up to Marone and is about to slash her until Athena came behind and attack him.
"Attacking a person while you still have people to fight is not a very smart idea," said Athena. Omega and Athena were fighting each other. Iris checks on everyone else and starts handing E-Crystals to them. Axl and Rider both handle Reaper. Fate joins them. Magician and Marone start to attack Dr. Weil. Sniper was still far range and tries to get a lock on either, Omega, Dr. Weil, or Reaper.
"Castor shell Rank S," said Sniper as she got a lock on Omega. The others who were down got back up and started to joined the fight. X, Grey, Zero were also handling Omega. Omega took the shot and found Sniper in a distance. He knock Athena to handle there until Grey shot at him.
"You still have the rest of us to worry about," said Fefnir as he also shot at him. Leviathan has her halberd out and was ready to attack Omega. Marone and Magician were fighting and tries to avoid the attacks of Dr. Weil. Phantom, Berserker, and Harpuia came and accompany them. Phantom does his ninja tricks at Dr. Weil while Berserker acts like a shield to them.
"Magician, I do not know how long I can handle my sanity before I will gone berserk," said Berserker. Magician knows that it is not the time to have Berserker's ability to go out of control and looks at him.
"If you do go berserk I have everyone to stand away from you," said Magician as she starts her Ice tricks. Harpuia started his air assault on Dr. Weil. Dr. Weil was losing to them. Reaper started to use his energy attack on Axl but Rider got him out of the way and use her chains. Reaper counters with a spell.
"Nice try but magic always overrules abilities," said Reaper. Rider start chanting and a whole bunch of chains started to come out of every direction at Reaper. Rider uses her chains and bind him.
"If that so then my chains still will get you," said Rider. Reaper smiles as he knows the chains.
"Shadow chains nice but that is not going to save you," said Reaper as he turns into light and breaks them. Destiny and Fate did a chaos strike duo. Reaper got caught on it. Strider appears on top and attacks Reaper. Reaper looks at the female ninja.
"So the last female reploid ninja is going to die by me," said Reaper. Strider looks at the guy.
"I will die with honor. Killing you will bring honor," said Strider as she pulled out her kunais and start throwing at Reaper. Iris looks from afar at Snipers side.
"How am I going to help now. I know that these people will get hurt some way shape or form," said Iris.
"We all have that risk. Even this far of the battle we are also at risk. Just not as bad as those who are there," said Sniper as she tries to get a lock. Sniper stood there and keep searching hoping someone will be in her sight of shooting.
"Well I do hope when this is over everything will be back to normal," said Iris. Sniper hopes so too.
"Castor Shell Rank Alpha Omega," said Sniper as she shoots at Omega again.
