The remaining ships of the Alliance returned above Gaia VII, victorious.

Unicron was defeated. It was something of a grand feat no doubt. On the Enterprise, the celebration had begun a little in Ten-Forward with Chad's group. During it, they all hear the Captain of the vessel, Picard, over the Ships com-system.

"This is the Captain speaking. Rufus wishes to speak to all people of the alliance, on all ships, please, listen to what he has to say."

Chad was sitting with a slightly tired Darkmega, drinking pure, non fizzy coke…it was disgusting, but that's all they could serve him when he ran out of names of the drinks he likes. "I bet it's gonna be about justice, rights to the people, and how none of it, was thanks to you and me."

Then, they heard Rufus. "Ladies and Gentlemen. I, Emperor Rufus Shinra, thank you, for putting your lives on the line for that fateful battle. The lives that have been lost won't be forgotten. From those of the Galactic Empire, to those of the Romulan Star Empire. In the cry for help, you heard us and came to our aid, after all the confrontations our forces have had….thank you. This will not be forgotten. I now must ask, that those that led these fine forces come down to Junon, where I will ask for something else…something more peaceful. This is a chance-"

While he continued, on the bridge, Data was busy scanning Junon, noticing something. "Captain, I am detecting an unknown species on the planet. Several hundred of them."

Picard was sitting in his chair, trying to listen to Rufus. "Data it's not unusual to detect unknown lifeforms in a sector we don't fully know."

"Yes, but sir, they are within Junon. Some humanoid life signs have just been lost, with those Unknown ones being close to where they were terminated."

Riker now looked worried, turning to Picard. "An attack? Right after Unicron?"

Picard's guess of it was about the same as Riker, looking at Worf. "Send an emergency message to the Galactica. Tell Rufus that Junon is under attack!"

"Aye sir!"

"Riker, inform Chads group they might be needed on the surface now. If it's somehow Unicron making another stand, as unlikely as it seems, then the ones that took him out would be best."

Riker nodded, and pressed on his com-badge. "Riker to those in Ten-Forward and the cargo bay, we're deploying you back down to Junon right now. There appears to be an invasion of some sort going on. They might need you."

If they refused or not didn't seem to matter, as Riker ordered them to be beamed down to the planet as soon as.

Zerg.

In the wake of feeling the looming death of Unicron, had used their Zerg Veins, to first get aboard several of the GF warships, undetected, then as soon as the ships got close to Gaia VII, sprung a revenge attack on Junon Harbor.

As they appeared, they attacked anything in reach of them, turning those they grabbed onto, into infected beings, using them in their battle against the troopers guarding the place. Alarms in Junon were blaring, as the Zerg launched their vicious attack. The GF troopers had already tried to start isolating the Zerg and taking them out, but with each Zerg and Infected they killed, the Zerg managed to make another infected to take its place.

What didn't help more so was the fact that the several Zerg Overminds that followed Unicron, had also arrived, and were able to rapidly produce eggs, which, within mere minutes thanks to rapid growth DNA, formed new Zerg.

One large squad of GF troopers, in the streets of Junon, were lined up, taking out as many Zerg as possible there were coming at them, being sent forward by one of the Overminds, black strips down his body, his mouth making a clicking sound, as the mix of human infected and Zerg charged, the gunfire didn't seem to faze them. One of troopers knew he wanted to retire right now instead of staying. "SIR! We can't keep this up! They're getting closer!"

The commander of the squad admitted to himself that, the line up, shoot down idea didn't seem to faze the creatures and even saw them start to climb up the building walls, rushing to where they were. He was about to signal the retreat and to reorganize, when someone shouted "Don't you even DARE think about being goddamn sissies! Let us show ya how to handle this!"

The voice was of Zhang Fei, leaping over the troopers, and landing in front of them, standing between them, and the Zerg…and then jumping over the men, was Knuckles, Sun Ce and Sun Shang Xiang, the children of Sun Jian, Net Navi Protoman and Navi Gutsman and finally Mario and Luigi.

They all landed near Zhang Fei, ready to fight, as muscled guy spun his Twin Viper spear around, then smacked it into the ground, glaring right at the Zerg. "COME ON! I AM ZHANG FEI OF EARTH V!"

Protoman quickly turned to the troopers. "You lot, make yourselves useful, shoot the ones on the walls. We'll handle the ground."

With that, the group dived into the lines of the creatures, as the troopers did as they were told, blasting down the Zerg climbing up and across the buildings.

Elsewhere, inside the corridors of Junon, the Zerg just slaughtered a group of troopers trying to get in their way, and ran into the next corridor, to find Forte aiming his arm cannon at them. "Bad move fellas." and then, he whistled.

Serious Sam walked around the corner, now standing with Forte, holding a mini gun, making it spin up and ready to fire. "Get wrecked assholes."

It was after a good 5 minutes or so, in the next corridor along, was Pang Tong, Charlie and Guan Yu. They allowed those two to handle the situation….before long they heard Sam cursing, before he rushed in, panting, with cuts in his clothing, and lacking his mini gun. Forte soon arrived as well, panting.

Charlie guessed. "I take it the 'team up and mow down with constant firing' tactic didn't take. Sam where did you put your gun?"

"Locked up on me, I just threw it at them to get a chance to make a tactical retreat."

"Right…" Charlie motioned them to get behind him, Guan Yu and Pang Tong. As they did, the Zerg just ran in, rushing at them…the first wave, one swipe of Guan Yu's weapon, the blue dragon, diced them down into two pieces each, and as more came, Charlie unleashed a Sonic Boom, the ring of energy flying at the Zerg, slicing them in half as it went down the corridor, their blood splurting out as the energy sawed trough them. "Well let's get comfy and just wear them out."

Back Outside, the battle there had been…rather smooth with the arrival of Zhang Fei and such.

Sun Ce was just seen with his metal Tonfas, charging at a fresh wave of Zerg, screaming out "ATATATATA!" rapidly smashing them all with the metal poles, crushing their skulls and rib cages in, before a final swing of one of the Tonfa, knocking the bodies of the Zerg flying, dying by simple internal bleeding. He had been taken under the wing of a master of Hokuto Shinken style recently, and already it was paying off. "Oh yeah! I got 'em!"

Gutsman put his hand together forming a massive iron hammer, bringing it down and slamming it into the ground, shouting "GUTS HAMMER!", the blow of it shook the Zerg all around him, making them unbalanced from the sudden shockwave, long enough for Sun Shang Xiang to throw her chakrams, the wheel blades embedding into two of the creatures, before she pulled out her bow and arrows, and fired as fast as possible, taking out what Zerg she could in their weakened state.

Zhang Fei was seen ahead of all of them, spinning his Viper spear like crazy, either the Zerg got smacked away, or hacked down by his mad charge. It made the Zerg Overmind feel concerned about this creature coming towards him. As Zhang got close, and swung the Spear, the Zerg Overmind ducked under, then stood up, swinging one on of it's claw wearing fists at Zhang Fei, who got a lovely blood covered gash on his chest from it, just cutting the skin, before he yelled at the thing, and grabbed it by the head, before continuously head butting it like mad. It was clear he had some degree of booze before this battle.

The Overminds head slowly begun to get crushed in, and green blood begun to ooze from it's mouth. It was dead, and it's Zerg clan knew it, as they begun to scatter and flee in terror, but Zhang Fei didn't seem to give up his head butting, untill Protoman grabbed his shoulder, looking a little stunned. that's when Zhang Fei noticed the skull of his target was fucked up beyond anything, dropping what's left. "Oh…hey, sorry about that, must've got a tad carried away."

"Come on, we haven't got time waste. We need to make sure everyone else is doing okay."

Well besides Charlie, Guan Yu and Pang Tong bearing a brunt of an assault, things were worse elsewhere.

Within one of the offices was Dr Light, Dr Robotnik, Wily, Regal and Yuichiro, along with them, was Anna, Zhang He, Liu Bei, Wei Yan, a Shu warrior from Earth V, and Rock, who just blasted back three Zerg with his mega buster the moment they stepped through the doorway into the place.

"Not a good sign. This means they've managed to take out the guards you placed down both ends of the corridor here Robotnik." Light said.

Robotnik was outta ideas that meant. He couldn't get in contact with Rufus, he didn't reach the communication room in time to scream for help, and the only guards they had at the time of the surprise attack, have now been wasted.

"Enemy…die…by…my….hands…before…they…reach….doctors!" Wei Yan shouted. He wasn't good with the galactic speech, when they hired him he was pretty much a vagrant from the outer rim, who killed off one of the warlords of Earth V, Hua Xian, due to his disrespectful attitude to him and Huang Zhong, an old man who once served Liu Bei before the peace treaty on that planet occurred.

During his little talk, Rock had taken out several more Zerg, and another lot just ran in, nearly swarming him, but thanks to some lucky well aimed fast shots, he managed to put a hole in each of their heads. "Well if you want to help out, don't mind me ya know! Jump in whenever you're ready!"

He didn't need to.

The next wave of Zerg to came through, literally flew in, with an explosion behind them in the corridor, their bodies in a state, flying over the others or just hitting the floor near them, all dead.

To Anna's happiness, Chad ran in, with Darkmega, Roll and Jak and Daxter…all looking rather burnt and damaged slightly, with Chad's hair smoking a little, and Daxter, on Jaks shoulder, was covered in black soot. He wasn't a happy bunny, as Samus, Link, Xiahou Yuan and the others from the mission to Unicron came in, all but Optimus Prime and Soundwave, who went on to handle the fighting with the Zerg elsewhere.

Daxter turned himself around, looking at Samus. "Seriously woman…WARN US, BEFORE YOU USE, A BARRAGE, OF YOUR SUPER MISSILES!"

Samus shrugged. "Eh, done the job. Stop whining like a bitch."

"CHAD!" Anna was on him like glue, regardless of his smoky state, hugging him tightly.

"Ow, hey, ow, Anna. Miss me?" Chad was in pain, but he tried to ignore it just for her.

Dr Wily soon interrupted them. "Anna enough. Drop him will you? Chad, what's the status with Unicron?"

As Anna finally let him go. "Good news, his a goner and won't be coming back anytime soon."

"Hm, then this is a counter attack move then, by these Zerg. I take it they were within or with Unicron at one point during your mission there?"

Chad nodded. "Horde of 'em were hanging out inside of him. Everyone here managed to do some damage to them mind, before me and Darkmega kicked Unicrons ass."

"Well perhaps you wouldn't mind getting out there and wrapping up this little trouble for us. Seems like the Galactic Federation are doing their best, but they'll need a little help from outsiders…like normal."

Chad sighed. "No break yet doc? Seriously?"

They heard a roar of anger behind them. As they all turned to look, an Overmind had lept at them, claws ready, blue line down his body, his two back claws, teeth bearing, and his target was Ken…before he found himself grabbed by the neck of Mr T. "Don't be a foo', goddamn alien freak! Lemme show ya what happens when you finally make me angry!"

He seemingly let go of the Zerg Overmind, and it never got a chance to land on the ground, as a barrage of a hundred fists flew at it, all from Mr T, smacking the creature, indenting it's body, crushing it's bones, no blood oozing out, it's legs and arms crippled, it's claws smashed up, all the while Mr T seemed actually rather calm while abusing the poor, now helpless Zerg.

Then, he kicked it away, back into the corridor, smacking into a wall…it weakly cried out "O-overmind Richard…h-help, me.." before imploding, it's blood and guts spewing out all over the floor, before it's body slid down to the ground.

Mr T simply cracked his knuckles afterwards, as the others stared at him. Well, the others but the docs. They knew who they brought in when accepting Mr T. he was a Master of Hokuto Shinken, the iron fist type, and the master to Sun Ce. Earth V's many talented officers knew parts of Hokuto and Nanto fighting styles alike, but there were no masters of the arts on that Planet…Mr T is the only known current master of an art.

"….Holy fuck you're awesome." Ken said, completely taken by surprise.

"Wait, what did it say about Richard?" Chad asked them….they all seem to look at him weirdly.

"Chad…it made some pitched noises before it died." Roll told him.

"No, it said about Richard. That means he might be here! Come on! We gotta go look!" with that, Chad pushed past them, heading off.

Darkmega was even worried slightly. "I…think our Cross Fusion done some damage to his head. Better make sure his okay though. Come on!"

Chad turned into his mobian form, running ever faster. Looking, hunting. Richard was here somewhere. Unicron was defeated, and that meant Chad might have a chance to finally make him understand.

He could save him…and beat him up at the same time. Chad smiled a little at that. Of course there would have to be a little battle first between them.

He shot past those of the base, those that were with the Galactic Federation, and even managed to smack a few Zerg around while looking, his frantic search didn't take that long though.

As it begun to rain, Chad arrived outside at one of the docks of Junon Harbor, the sea a little more rougher than earlier, the rain effectively cleaning off whatever soot he had on him, and a weak wind was blowing.

There he was, Richard. Standing there, at the end of the dock, looking out at the sea.

Chad changed back into his human form once he got through the doorway leading out to the dock, Blade of Darkness ready. "RICHARD!"

Richard was heard sighing, and slowly turned around, shaking his head a little. In his hand, the Dark Wolf once again. "Chad Chad Chad….you're all alone. Not the best idea now is it? You learnt this from only a little while ago."

"Unicron is gone now! If I can tackle him, you don't stand a chance! Do you even know what you're doing right now?"

"…Leading the Zerg to slaughter your friends?"

"Richard they're your friends too! Your grandfather and father are with them! You can't be serious about killing them all! What about beyond this? You lose your family, your friends, those that cared for you!"

Richard laughed at this. "Cared for me? All gramps wanted is for me to learn to be just like him! A fool that has nothing more than that little useless base and his fortress! To work with those that have no real place to call their own! And friends? Shademan barely counts, Roll is nothing, and you….YOU…I would have no greater pleasure, then to see your guts splattered across this very dock!"

Richard pulled out an area steal battlechip, and soon enough, was in front of Chad, swinging the Dark Wolf down at him, making him quickly jump back, and use a minibomb battlechip, throwing the small blue object at Richard, exploding on contact.

The moment smoke rose from the explosion, Zerg Veins flew out of it, and Chad just about dodged them by leaping to the side, and using the Blade of Darkness to slice them apart. Then looked to where they came from, and saw, as the damaged remains retracted back into Richard's palm, Richard pointed the Dark Wolf Chads way. A dark purple aura flowed around it for a moment, before firing out, was a mass of energy in the shape of a Wolfs head, mouth open. Chad easily dodged the energy, knowing what it would do. If it came into contact, it would no doubt drain his soul, that weapon fed on the things, and it's the first time Richard used it against him.

Richard unleashed another two of the wolf heads at Chad, who easily dodged them, and while doing so, put his spare hand in his pocket a pulled out an Airshot Battlechip, forming a blue mega buster looking type weapon. He was expected the normal drill off Chad at this point.

Chad quickly turned into his mobian form after the third wolf energy head flew past, and jumped in the air, spinning, ready to perform the homing attack, without seeing what Richard had ready. He fired the Airshot, and a powerful gust of wind flew out, smacking into Chad, just as he was about to trigger the homing attack, and sent him backwards, hitting the metal wall of Junon instead of his Target, effectively confusing him, as he quickly stood up afterwards, looking for Richard, then turning round and spotting him.

Just as a Energy bomb, a small black ball the size of a tennis ball, with three round orange like panels attached to it, flew at him, and on contact, unleashed several blue energy explosions to him, making him yell in pain, and finding himself stumbling back from the blasts.

Richard smirked at this result, and quickly put in another battlechip into his spare hand, Vulcan mk3, it's colouring now orange and black, and holding far more rounds then the original and mk2, and the machine gun like weapon formed on his arm and opened fire, the energy bullets repeatedly hitting Chad, as he tried to weakly defend himself. He triggered a barrier battlechip, stopping the energy bullets for the moment.

But this Richard saw coming. "Useless move Chad!" he pointed the Dark Wolf forward again, and fired the energy wolf head once more, which struck the barrier, destroying it, and forcing Chad to move, just avoiding the head, and once again, getting struck by the rain of bullets.

'Alright Chad, relax, you can take him out, just gotta think fast before he makes another move. He planned ahead for me, his using one hand for chips, the other holding his sword….maybe…' he quickly put his Blade of Darkness away, and changed back into his human form, the bullets stinging more and more with each hit. He rolled to the side at last, and Richard just idly begun to move the Vulcan, reaiming it at where Chad is.

First, Chad quickly shouted out "LIFE SOUL!" and soon enough, was covered by the white aura, the bullets hitting it, and bouncing off. Then, from his pockets, in one hand, Area Steal, the other, a Mega Cannon chip. He formed the red cannon in one hand, and fired it, making Richard just sidestep the shot, then inserted the area steal, and disappeared for a second.

Richard chuckled. "Too easy!" and pointed the Vulcan diagonally up, expecting Chad to appear in the air in front of him…he seemed to flicker there, the Vulcan bullets whizzing past were the brief second image of his body was, but in a green flash he was gone.

"What the?" Richard then looked ahead, didn't see Chad, and spun round, just for Chad nearby him, after using Chaos Control RIGHT after Area Steal, to use the next chip he pulled out with his spare hand. The Blinder chip, causing a flash of white light right in Richards eyes, making him try and cover them with the Vulcan, unable to see.

With Richard momentarily crippled, as distant thunder was heard in the sky above, Chad aimed the Mega Cannon, and in his other hand, formed the original Vulcan, opening fire with both weapons. The blows of the heavy cannon fire, combined with the small bullets of the Vulcan kept making Richard unbalance and stumble backwards, still trying to see and trying to dodge, only to find himself get hit again, then, the attacks seem to stop. Smoke blocking his vision slightly, from the Mega Cannon shots, as he started to be able to see again…only to see a White energy filled beam fly at him, smacking into him, and sending him flying. Bouncing on the ground once, rather hard on his back, then hitting it again, and sliding slightly, before stopping.

He shook his head, and the pain stung like hell, as he slowly stood up again, and found Chad already before him, with two Wide Swords at the ready, and swinging them both diagonally down at him, crossing them as they went, slicing into Richards Chest and stomach, leaving a bloody 'X' mark on his body, rather deep at that, as he stumbled back weakly, disabling the Vulcan at last, and putting his hand on the wound, blood quickly flowing out over his clothing, and dripping to the floor, the rain mixing in.

He was panting, looking at Chad, glaring almost. Chad stood there, looking at him and the wound, the swords, glowing slightly in the darkened light caused by the storm, with stains of Richard's blood on them, quickly being cleaned off and falling to the floor by the rain, before Chad finally disabled both weapons.

"Richard, it's over. You need more then Recovery chips for that deep of a wound. Come back to us and I'm sure Medi can fix you up." Richard seemed to stay silent. Chad was hoping this meant Richard was coming to his senses slowly.

"Richard, I'm more then able to fight back now. And with this Life Soul, you can't win. Don't make me kill you, especially when you're fighting for something that's already destroyed."

Richard chuckled darkly, looking at his hand, the blood covering it the rain slowly washing it away, then at the wound, then finally back to Chad. There was a flash in the sky, and after a moment of silence, the sound of thunder in the distance, before Richard spoke again. "Chad…things are different now…when I left Unicron, I changed a little more."

As he stood there, Chad noticed the wound…it was quickly healing, Richards flesh and skin, slowly closing itself back up, rapidly making new pieces to replace the damaged areas. Blood stopped flowing, being washed off by the rain, and soon enough, the only marking left to show where the wound was, was by Richards damaged, blood stained clothing.

"I changed in such a way, that it could be classed as evolution, or a wonderful mutation of my body. Chad…I'm infected, with Zerg DNA. But not just any infection of it. No, Unicron gave me a purpose with this…you see, I'm not only a Zerg…"

Then, Richard yelled out, in sudden pain, clenching his fists, his muscles tensing up, and to Chad's horror, they appeared…one, two, three…twelve Overmind Zerg Claws, ripped out of his back, all connected to new bone sections made by the Zerg gene to match his body structure. They were covered in blood, and had torn out of his jacket and shirt.

"I'm an Overmind."

Oh shit. That was the only thought going through Chad's mind, before Richard lunged at him, grabbing him quickly by the throat, and slamming him hard onto the metal floor of the docks. Then, he raised him up, still holding tight, then threw him, making him slam sidewards into the wall, and hitting the floor face first.

Chad was just getting back on his feet, shaking his head to get the water off his face when he landed in a small puddle, when he spotted Richard getting out a battlechip, and it, literally, going inside the palm of his hand, through the opening where the Zerg veins would come out…and then he knew what battlechip it was, thanks to the claws, which the sharp tips, every one of them, changed into Hi-Cannons, making it twelve of them, all aiming suddenly towards Chad, and opening fire.

Chad used Chaos control, appearing in the air to avoid the first wave of shots, but before he even got any ideas into motion, the second wave was fired, and several shots hit, making Chad yell out in pain, and fall, his focus was rapidly going, because as he hit the ground, he felt a third wave strike him, sliding him across the water covered area, the pain getting worse, before a fourth, then a fifth, leading him back to the wall, as he felt himself hit it, the fifth wave knocking him in the air slightly from the combined explosions, and allowing him to smack into it once more.

He felt battered already. He quickly begun feeling in his pocket for a Recovery chip with his left hand, but just as he pulled it out, looking at it momentarily…it was shattered, by a blade, which had pieced right through his hand, and stabbed into the ground, making him scream out in agony and grit his teeth tightly afterwards, blood oozing out from the damage. It was the Dark Wolf, and as he looked up, trying to see through the raindrops hitting his face…there was Richard, and those claws, normal again.

"Hah. Now look at who needs more then Recovery chips."

Chad tried to move his other hand, to try and foolishly reach for his Blade of Darkness.

That weren't gonna happen, as Richard pulled out the Dark Wolf from Chad's hand, and plunged it into his right lower arm, as he had turned it to reach for the blade on his back, and consequently, the blade went right through, through the higher segment of his arm, and back into the ground, making Chad have tears of pain form in his eyes, mixed with the water, as he cried out in agony, blood splashing out from the double wound.

"Look at you Chad. Look at you. Your nothing, in reality. You can't win. I'm a few steps ahead of you when it comes to one on one."

Chad couldn't move, the pain was washing over him. Was, was he going to die? Richard had him now, even after Unicron, this would be it…

Richard pulled out the sword again, making Chad wince and cry a little more, but as he rose the weapon up, no doubt to target the head, something caught his eye, someone was talking to him. "Master! Master! The Overminds are dead! Reinforcements have come for the humans! You're the last one here to command us! Most of the other Overminds broods have fled the area!"

Richard cursed. "Oh, of all things…ugh…that means we'll get surrounded soon enough. Didn't expect them to make a fight back so soon…"

He motioned the Zerg that was talking to him, as Chad saw, closer, and together, as Richard smirked at Chad, covered themselves in the Zerg veins, and vanished…leaving Chad there, the pain filling his mind, crippled, and alone…

He felt tired, and closed his eyes, letting the pain numb his thoughts…

"Chad?….Chad?"

Chad found himself waking up, dazed, and exhausted. He slowly begun to open his eyes, weakly saying "Doc, I don't wanna do anymore. I wanna go to bed…"

Then, he noticed it was a female voice, and it belonged to Medi, as his eyes focused. "Chad, I'm a nurse, for starters? And you've been out for about a day already, so no more sleeping."

There she was, before him, looking down at him, as he found himself in the medical area of Junon, his clothing replaced by a grey cover over his body, and a pair of grey pants, and a soft pillow on his head. He slowly looked to his left, then to his right, noticing his wound were healed…well, mostly. His hand was okay, but his other arm, there was plasters over the wounded points.

"Those wounds are taking a little longer to heal Chad. You've got the maximum allowed Recovery chips already in effect, and a few hours in the Kolto healing tank did you a world of good with those wounds."

"Those wounds…" he mumbled. Then looked at her, sitting up slowly. "Medi…what happened? Is everyone okay?"

Medi smiled at him. "Those that are with us, are alright Chad. I can't say the same for the people of the GF mind. They lost a lot of lives in the assault of the Zerg. Thankfully they fled once Rufus brought help. The damage to the place is easily fixable from what I heard. Where we found you if you want to know? Outside on the docks. Xiahou Dun and Samus found you beaten to a pulp and with those horrible sword wounds."

"…That was because of Richard…Damnit, his more gone then I thought he was." Medi looked at Chad in confusion, as to what he meant. "Nevermind Medi. Listen, do I need to stay here anymore? I should get moving. What's the time as well?"

"It's about 12pm Chad. And, I would say your okay to get going. Just make sure you check those wounds after a few hours. The flesh and bone have mostly healed, but the skin is damaged. It'll sting like hell if not healed up yet once the Recovery chips wear off. I suggest a few 50 chip doses to heal you up. A 300 will do it quicker, but you'll be a little high from it, so I suggest against that."

Chad slowly moved himself off the bed, sitting at the side of it, as Medi walked off to a cupboard, and returned, with Chad's clothing, clean and good as new. "Oh Chad, just to let you know, in a few hours Rufus will be doing the speech about the victory over Unicron. He would've done it sooner, but they needed to clear up a little bit of the mess in the offices and such from the Zerg."

Chad nodded, as she looked away, and he got dressed. "Alright, thanks Medi. Hey, why didn't anyone of the GF heal me up? Kinda odd that we're using one of their places to get me sorted out."

Chad just finished getting dressed, putting his sleeveless jacket on, as Medi turned around. "Well, Dr Wily wanted it to remain 'us'. As in he didn't want others to handle our medical needs since we've got perfectly capable members to handle it…aka me."

Chad accepted that, and soon enough, departed from the medical area, and was soon enough, the MOMENT he finally got back to his room, he got a call, from Wily…

Inside one of the offices, the biggest one, pretty much at the top of Junon, there was a bustling crowd inside, of reporters, from all over the GF. Chad walked in, looking a little annoyed, wading himself through the crowd of them, and eventually, near the end of the office, near the windows, he found Rufus, Picard, Darth Vader, Dr Robotnik, Colonel, Princess Leia, Tomalak, K'Nera, Dr Wily, Dr Light and Darkmega.

He walked over to Dr Wily. "Alright, what now? Has Unicron respawned?"

Wily frowned at him for thinking it was bad news he was going to give. "Chad! This is about you and Darkmega being heroes! You're going on live television with the rest of us for his speech. Remember, you two pretty much saved us from Unicron."

Chad noticed, over one of the windows, there was a new flag. it had the Shinra company Logo on it, but instead of the outline being a diamond on top of a square, it's now just a round, red coloured world shape, with raven like red wings on both sides. "….And what's with the flag?"

"Well Chad, his the new Emperor, this is his first official television appearance, and what he wants to do, is end an old era. His going to rename the Galactic Federation."

Soon, Rufus walked over to him, Dr Wily, Light and Darkmega. "Ah, Chad, Darkmega. Thank you both, for securing the future of the Federation." He gave his hand out for them both of shake. Darkmega did so right away, no problems, Chad was a little hesitant, but eventually done so…he still didn't get a good vibe off Rufus.

Rufus then focused mostly on the docs. "Albert, Thomas, for having these two with you, that saved us, not only will I offer you both a place as a independent group under my new Federation, but also, more, then just the small base at Zebes you have, and the one on Earth X, along with your Fortress Albert."

Both Dr Wily and Light looked at each other, they were expecting now, something along the lines of 'You'll get all new people that are actually my spies to make sure you don't pull anything.'

"I'm going to give you, other places, which you and the members of your hero band, can use. On Gaia X, near the city of Luca, there's a finished military base, that is more designed to be a hold out bunker then anything. That, is now yours. In the capital of Mute Gaia, Mute City, a full on science base sits there rusting away, that also the racer Captain Falcon once owned. It is now yours. Finally, I'm going to send one of the finest construction teams of the Federation to both the Hero Base and Wily Fortress on Earth X, to get them up to scratch, and deploy additional ones to Zebes, to help expand that base of yours there, greatly. To comfort, those that live with you. Finally. I would like to offer those that work with you, thirty free tickets, to none other, then the Mobius edition, the greatest edition, of Twinkle Park, in three days time, including a three course dinner meal of their choice, fully paid by me. Transport included, although it is up to you if you wish to choose a driver of your own or not."

Dr Light and Wily were, to say in the least, gobsmacked. Light was the only one to reply to all that. "I…well, thank you. Thank you so much Emperor. We're honored by this act of generosity. May, may I ask why?"

Rufus shrugged. "Out of kindness Thomas, out of kindness."

Chad was watching Rufus closely, and Rufus hadn't failed to notice, turning towards Chad once more, just as a few of the reporters came over. Rufus spotted them. "You lot, how about a photo of me and one of the heroes that saved us all from Unicron?"

The reporters and cameramen were eager to accept that, quickly trying to get a decent photo of them together. Rufus looked back at Chad. "You look a little alert Chad, have I done something wrong?"

Chad wasn't going to beat around the bush, just because his Emperor. "No…not yet."

Dr Wily and Light were too busy talking between each other to hear Chad, and Darkmega was just watching carefully.

Rufus smirked a little. "Bold of you to say that Chad. Very bold…you're not afraid to speak your mind at all. I could use someone like you."

Chad chuckled bitterly. "Well I'd rather not work for you. I'm happy enough with the docs. Crazy as they are."

Rufus noticed the flash photography starting, and put out his hand once more for Chad to shake, which he did so. "You know, you're a Oswald…I read a lot of history, and your family name came up once…from a time long ago…"

"…What about it?"

Rufus chuckled, closing his eyes for a moment, the opening them. "Nothing, nothing…you must be very proud of what you've done for the Federation."

"…Not really."

Rufus looked to the cameras, checking that Chad was as he turned his head. Chad did so as well, knowing he wanted photos of them both looking. Once the flashing stopped once more, Rufus spoke. "Isn't it interesting, Chad Oswald? You saved the Federation, rotten to the core, just as I rose to power to restore it, and make it much more…it would seem…"

He turned back to Chad, as Chad turned to look at him. "…That we're both, destined, for greater things…"

Rufus smiled at him, to Chad, it seemed he smiled darkly, before heading over to a desk, just in front of the new flag, the reporters and cameramen all quickly starting to gather round.

Darkmega walked over quickly to Chad. "You alright?"

Chad shook his head. That dark feeling around Rufus had really shown itself with those last words he said to Chad. "No…not with him anyway." then, they were both shifted over towards the desk, by Dr Light and Wily, and joined the likes of Picard and Vader, as everyone eventually fell silent, and one of the reporters said "We're going live in 5.…4.….3.….2.….1!"

Rufus looked to the cameras.

"To the people, of the Galactic Federation, to the people that, suffered, under the power of Keaton, to the people, who I must now watch over, protect, and serve.

I, am your new Emperor. Rufus Shinra. Accepted into power by the now deceased members of the High Ministry court. I am here today, to declare who I am, and to confirm that the threat you may of heard of, the Planet Eater Unicron, has been destroyed.

It was thanks to the united work of our Federation, the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Galactic Empire, the Rebel Alliance, and a group, so small, yet so willing, to fight for our cause, the renegade heroes, or to those that may know them, the Hero Base faction.

Without combined strength, we have driven off the monster that would've brought Chaos to this already damaged empire that we've all worked so hard to keep. It was thanks to two brave souls though, above everything, that helped us, stop Unicron. Their names, are Chad Oswald, and Darkmega."

The cameras focused on them both for a moment, then back to Rufus.

"But, now we're beyond Unicron, we must think of what will be next, for this once, rotten, dying empire, choked of its resources and dreams, by the previous Emperor, Keaton Al'Keriff, and the Emperor before him, Armstrong Houston.

First, I have offered out the hand of peace, and friendship, to the United Federation of Planets and the Galactic Empire-Rebel Alliance Unity, to end our wars with them, to stop taking our precious people, your sons, your daughters, your mother and fathers, to the front lines over pointless and bloody wars. They have accepted the hand, and now, we have peace once more.

Second, we will restore order and fully claim what is rightfully ours before this chaos Keaton created for us. There are several worlds that belong to us, which are under the control of other forces, once High Ministers, but now, disbanded, by the loss of so many.

Third, is about those High Ministers. Those who controlled our distance worlds. I want them to come and see me, and speak about what must happen now, that Al'Keriff and Armstrong so painfully put off with our money and our resources, taken from the people we're suppose to watch for. What must happen, is their unconditional submission to the Federation.

There will be, no more major factions controlling us. The only factions I will allow into this Federation, are those that are the size of the Hero Base. It is time for those outsiders to hand over their independence. They may keep their titles and names, but they must confirm that they are a part of this Federation completely, from trade, to military.

I'm going to bring us back to glory. I'm going to restore us. I'm going to free us, and expand us to new places, new worlds, but not by harming our true, valued neighbors.

No longer shall this Federation have the forenamed title of Galactic. No, this is the start of a new era, my era. The Shinra, Federation, era.

Thank you, for your time to listen to me. May the gods Blind Lo and Azrael watch over you all. Thank you."

With that, to the recording screens, the transmission ended, and instead of the old GF flag on the screen, with the words 'stand by', it is now the Shinra Federation flag to mark this day, in 2045 A.P, the end of the Galactic Federation and the Shinra, to rise from its ashes.
