Chapter 21: Sigma's Demise
X, Zero, Axl, Omega, Black Knight, Fefnir, Harpuia, Phantom, and Leviathan went down to the moon. While the others waited for their arrival victorious. Guess woke up in a strange room as he looked around.
"Augh! Where am I? The last thing I remember. The moon. The weird disturbance from the moon," said Guess as he left the room. He snuck out of the room follow a corridor and found the area said Transerver. He punched the coordinates towards the moon as he got there he looked around.
"This looks different from what I remember seeing. How long I was out," thought Guess as he saw bunch of people fighting mavericks. Guess lie low as he can not to be seen.
"BLACK FIRE DEMISE!!!" shouted Black Knight as he made a huge fire shockwave at the mavericks. Zero and Omega was causing more destruction of the mavericks. Black Knight was next to them. Harpuia and Leviathan did electric, wind, and ice combo on the mavericks which slow them down and cause them to keep on coming. Fefnir kept using his twin busters to burn the mavericks. Phantom use every ninja attacks. Axl kept firing his rounds at the mavericks. After the mavericks were completely wipe out the rest were getting exhausted as Sigma fired his attack on the group.
"It seems you are going to fall Zero. X it is good to see you again in battle," said Sigma.
"Save your speech Sigma," said Axl. Sigma did one hit at Axl who is down for the count.
"My plan work perfectly. You get tired while I kill you all there is nothing can stop me," said Sigma. Guess stepped back as he saw Sigma and saw a huge body of his that is inactivated.
"I see he had that as a backup. Well lets get rid of it," thought Guess as he pulled out two pieces that becomes the recoil rod. He went to work on the huge reploid body weakness as he tries to destroy it.
"Not so fast. I do not think you will get out of that virus that he so hard to put on you," said Vern.
"What?" asked Guess. Vern smiled sinisterly. Guess looked at the guy who is in front of him.
"Oh you did not know that for four years you have been controlled and used to build that thing. I just helped both of you out until I found out you were a mere puppet. He was about to kill you but I think it is better I am cleaning that part out while he deal with those on the bottom," said Vern. Guess looked at Vern.
"Not if I can help it," said Guess as he pulled out a pair of saucers. Vern smiled at them.
"What those little saucers are going to do to me," said Vern. Guess smiled at Vern as he looked at him.
"Like me they have a mystery to them here is the mystery revealed," said Guess as he activates the recoil rod. Vern looked at Guess as he gets into a fighting stance with the recoil rod.
"You piece of scrap metal," said Vern as Guess started his attack. Vern tried to block but each time he took twice the damage as Guess would have taken. Vern could not believe his eyes as two little saucers are actually the legendary recoil rods that a reploid of legend use.
"Give up," said Guess. Vern looked at him and keep attacking. Guess repelled his attack and parried. Vern knew damage must have gone through but he took twice the damage. He went again and he watched Vern got hit but instead he got double the damage. Vern could not understand.
"How the heck you do not take any damage while I took a whole lot of damage," said Vern under frustration.
"That is one of my mysteries revealed. I can mirror a person hence deal your own damage to you when the only thing that damage me is the recoil rod. That is all the damage I am going to take," said Guess. Vern looked at Guess as he tried again to hit him but again he took damage. He used every of his trick and Guess gave it all back. Vern still looked shock as he now becomes frustrated and angry at Guess. However, Guess did took several damage but majority were reflected back. Guess tried to hide the fact that he did took damage.
"I am going to kill you now," said Vern as he looked at Guess. Guess smirked at him.
"A famous Megaman did say once. What you do not understand is what you fear and you eliminate what you fear," said Guess. Vern looked at Guess. As he tried to attack and finally, guess felt the harsh hit as Vern smirked. Guess stand up smirking at him.
"I know all I understand all," said Vern as he looked at Guess who is down in one knee.
"Then what are you afraid of. I can tell within your eyes you are afraid of something. Something that you do not understand. And also I can tell you cannot eliminate it at all," said Guess.
"SHUT UP!" shouted Vern as he hit at Guess who still gave damage too Vern. Vern gave a glare at Guess.
"You are afraid of someone that you want to keep as a slave is falling in love with someone and you cannot destroy that love she had," said Guess.
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME!!" shouted Vern. Guess smirked.
"I am me. I can see through people as they guess who they really are under the skin. Some find it quicker and some like you who do not get a clue. Those who do not understand the world will try to destroy it. Something that majority of the Megamen had amiss," said Guess.
"You speak that you know them all. How long have you lived in this world," said Vern.
"I used to be a hunter before my upgrades. Before I have become the name guess. Who was I? That is something you have to Guess," said Guess as Vern tried to attack but all the two heard was explosions. Vern and Guess looked at the huge reploid that is inactivated falling down. Vern looked pissed but leave for the fact his plan now is failing fast. Sigma and the others saw the huge armor falling down. The last thing Sigma saw of his second body pieces of metal that scattered around. Guess smiled as he found his mission accomplished.
"YOU!" shouted Sigma at Guess. Guess came down and looked at Sigma with a smile as the others looked at Guess in an odd look.
"Oh sorry did I destroy that big toy of yours. It is too bad. Well I guess you have no more big toys then," said Guess. Sigma looked at Guess laughing.
"Big toy. I do not need that to destroy the likes of you," said Sigma to Guess. Guess smirked at Sigma.
"Is that so… Well then lets see if you can destroy me then," said Guess. Zero and the others took this advantage to save their energy as they watched Guess who is fighting Sigma. Sigma saw the two saucers and raise an eye brow.
"You are going to fight me with two measly saucers. Well then I am going to bring your humiliation a quick death," said Sigma as he attack. Guess activated the recoil rod and attack Sigma back. Sigma took the hit as he now saw the weapon hidden within those saucers.
"What? What weapon is that?" asked Phantom. Harpuia tried to scan Guess weapon as he shrugged.
"I cannot pick up any trace of the weapon origins," said Harpuia. Leviathan squint her eyes as she tried to figure out where she saw them.
"I know I saw them before but I do not remember," said Leviathan. Axl looked as he never saw that weapon before.
"Beats me, I have not seen it," said Axl. X looked at the weapon as it was sort of familiar but he cannot point it out.
"I know I have seen it before but I forgot who was the original owner," said X. Omega looked at the weapon as he sighed as he has a vague memory of the weapon.
"I do not know either but I remember I got beaten with the owner of that weapon before," said Omega. Zero looked at Guess weapon as he looked at it again.
"The recoil rod? It used to be my weapon," said Zero. Black Knight sighed as he looked at the other people.
"It is the recoil rod. And yes Zero it used to belong to you. How he has it I do not know," said Black Knight. The others looked at Black Knight in a shock look.
"So that explains the familiar feeling," said X. Zero looked at Guess who is skillful with the weapon he used to have. Sigma now frustrated with Guess who now replicate himself as now Sigma tried to find out which one is the real him as they all look the same.
"Nice move. It almost ninja-like," said Black Knight. Phantom looked at the fight as Guess was winning. Later on without warning, Sigma saw the recoil rod stuck on him both rods.
"You lost," said Guess as Sigma started to explode. Guess then huffed and puffed as he grew tired. He wasted all his energy defeating Sigma. Sigma used what he had to his other body which was not completely destroyed from Guess and Vern's fight.
"I still have control and now I am going to kill you all," said Sigma as a fire blast hit Sigma. Guess turned around which X arm canon was smoking. Sigma looked at X as he now wants to kill him until a saber shockwave cut off his arm. Sigma looked another area and saw Zero with his Z-saber ready. His other arm cut off as he now pay attention to Omega with his O-saber ready. He come in running until he cannot feel his feet. Leviathan with her halberd and Harpuia with his twin sabers took care of that part.
"You five think you can defeat me," said Sigma as another part of him got hit. He looked at the chest area as a shuriken was there. He looked at Phantom who threw that shuriken at Sigma. The next was a buster shot on the chest as half of his chest armor exploded. He looked as Fefnir with his buster gun smoking.
"I take it is seven of you who want to die," said Sigma as he felt another shot as it was at his gem on his forehead. It was too clean of a shot as he did not saw it coming. He turned to Axl with one of his guns smoked. The next part Sigma saw his entire body split in half as he looked at Black Knight who hold his sword up.
"Correction nine of us," said Black Knight. Guess looked at the group of nine as he then exploded. Guess tried to stand up as he looked at the nine group.
"I guess I should thank you or is it the other way around," said Guess. Zero looked at Guess with half of a smile.
"It is a mutual setting. We are just people fighting a common enemy," said Black Knight.
"Which now he cannot do no harm," said a voice. Everyone tried to follow it as they heard scream.
"NO!!! MY VIRUS!!! I AM DYING!!!! WHAAAH!!" shouted Sigma. X, Zero, and Axl looked at the bodies as a little cyber elf of sigma came out as he had a sleepy look. Mother Elf appeared as Zero looked at her.
"Iris…" said Zero. Mother Elf smiled at Zero as she looked at him and Omega. The others looked at her as well.
"He is now a cyber elf like the rest of us. Though I am done with what I need to do and I am no longer needed. Zero, please take care of Kira. She really needs you. Same goes for you Omega. Your daughter will need you around," said Mother Elf.
"Iris…I…" said Zero as Mother Elf smiled at him. She lend her hand to him and kissed his forehead.
"I know you do love me. Nothing will change that. However, we cannot be together as cyber elf and reploid. I have to go. I am sorry Zero," said Mother Elf.
"I never will forget you. I will still remember you forever as well what you did for me," said Zero.
"I must go now. Sigma has to come with me as well as Magician and Sardine. We still watch over you as you grow and have the will to go on," said Mother Elf as she left. Zero and Omega tried to hide their emotions as both wanted to cry.
"I think we should go now," said Black Knight. The others nodded as they left. Omega and Zero was alone.
"Alt… We both have something in common, and I should realized it sooner," said Omega.
"What is it?" asked Zero. Omega looked at Zero as he had tears flowing down as he could not hold them back.
"We both have hearts. Hearts that we loved one person and a child that is left of their existence. If we chose to love again is up to us," said Omega.
"I do agree. Though I think we better go and break the news to our daughters," said Zero. Omega nodded at the two left.
