51. C: 106 True Roar of Camaraderie!

Chapter 110: Brainstorming out of the Jaws of Disaster! True Roar of Camaraderie!

Last time in Tales of the Cosmic wars the situation was more than a little tense! After being pushed to the edge Weil showed just how far he was willing to go, and was ready to blast the entire planet of Cardianon to dust with his ultimate weapon, the Space Station Ragnarok, the Death Star! With enough firepower to destroy the planet, Ben and the others had little time to spare if they wanted to avert disaster!

Ben unleashed all of his power and with the help of his friends tried to blast back the Death Star's attack. However even after how much power Ben and the others have gained, its still takes a lot to match a weapon designed to shatter worlds! Still, they were able to keep it back, and when Max lent a hand after getting Giga Bowser and Ridley Ultima of his tail things looked better. In fact they looked way better when in his Tri-Edge Gundam Max managed to shut down the beam by nearly causing an overload, but Tarkin was able to shut down the system before the chain reaction caused the entire battle station to blow up! Both the Lylat and Zannacross forces took advantage of this and began to attempt to pound Weil in to dust. However the stubborn Zeon leader refused to be defeated, and in the end made a break for it.

While the Enji still had to deal with Genesis, Sigma, Vile, Giga Bowser and there henchmen, they got a break when Kira out of all people appeared and called them off because he wanted to finish Weil first, and saw Ben, Max and the others as threats that could be dealt with at his leisure. Despite Kira, or Darth Judicar now, being as arrogant as ever, at least this gave are heroes a break. However, just when it looked like the theme of the day was chase the Weil, Max and his new ally, the cybog Bacchus, managed to convince Ben and a lot of the others to help him pursue Xiza. After persuading everyone that Xiza was in fact the bigger threat Ben and his friends, plus Brad, ended up going with Ben's cousin. As the ship left the planet, and went to fallow the coordinates Bacchus was able to acquire to get in to the massive flagship of the head of Vector, the Space Pirates, and maybe more.

On the way Max filled in to his new helpers just what he was after. He explained how he was helping Max because he needed his help to confront Xiza about the Juggernaught project. This project turned out to be a horrifying super soldier program that was so racial that even Lylat hardliners like Garma Kaiba would not approve of it, and it made things like the SOLDIER program that gave birth to Genesis, Sephiroth, and all of Deep Ground look like booster shots! With the ability to get stronger from every near death experience, and absorb energy from whatever it would fight, be immune to every hazarders environment, and one day have the power rumored to match the celestial ones, it seemed like it was a true nightmarish monster! However, lucky for the Enji and the cosmos it would seem the Juggernaught project was never completed, for one day an explosion decimated the entire laboratory and the city and everyone around it, with Bacchus the only apparent survivor!

While no one was able to figure out just what caused the incident, Xiza seems to be having some hand in it and the most likely subject. And since this incident was the true cause of the Irazos civil war, and in turn what turned both Kira and Xehamaru at least partly to the dark side, this was an unforgivable thing to be blamed on! Max seemed to aim Brad in to his cross hairs for a second, and with Brad's ruthless desire to be the best and extreme power it was not too far out of the question.

However, Brad's background, and with Lacus as a witness it seems to be more than the usual trash Brad is talking. Before the matter could be discussed more, they at last were approaching there new target, the Dämmerung !

The massive black colony that was large enough to be its own mobile country was quite the formable dwelling for the many faced foe, but Max's desire for revenge made him fearless, and he was able to fire up the others with it to! Everyone was able to get on board no problem. And it seemed to be a good start, but little did they know this was all a big trap that Xiza was laying for them! With both his private forces and the Space Pirates under his command, and the Metroids, and all of his anti Enji creations he has in store, and with Ridley brought back, along with a new Mother Brain and his own elite warriors the Zinyu Force, it's going to be a rough fight. However, to settle things once and for all, and to bring to an end all of the pain the demon lord of Chaos Zannacross Necron has caused, are hero's can't afford to blow it here!

It's time for things to go down, so let today's chapter begin!

---

" Are chapter begins not on are hero's but briefly on the ones who the Enji were originally after, Weil Zabi and the remained of his badly battered fleet! Still on his damaged but still powerful Death Star, Weil managed to lose Kira and Fox's forces by taking a secret Hyper Space trail through a pair of black holes and a space nebula to throw of his chasers! However, the fact that Xiza played him right in to his hand, and that he has no intention of helping him with anything but dying has infuriated Weil! At the moment, the Arbiter, General Rakan Tarkin and Harman are all trying to get a summary of just how badly damaged they are.

The Arbiter then goes over to Weil, who is now sitting in his executive command chair, before he salutes and says," Mister president, all surviving forces have reported in. The Mandarin and its crew were completely destroyed, and any who escaped were captured by Kira. The Mangalore , the Averance, and the Monger were both critically damaged, but are trailing us. The Death Star and the rest of the fleet both took some damage, but they should be able to be repaired. In the end I can say we will live to fight another day president Weil. Um, sir, what is it?"

The Zeon soldier hesitates as he sees Weil 's eyebrow look like it's going to explode before Weil says," What is wrong? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I thought you were a professional solider, because it should be more than a little obvious to see this was a completely disgraceful performance! "

The Arbiter walks back a little and says,"Xiza will pay dearly for his treacherous act against the might of Zeon. Still, we did not foresee just how great a trap he laid out for us, and how the Enji were informed about are meeting as well. Cleary we were set up."

Tarkin sighs and responds with a irate,"You think? What irks me is how my ultimate creation was forced to retreat!"

Weil glares at his top weapons creator and says,"Your ultimate weapon is a failure Tarkin! It could not even get its first major operation done! "

Tarkin sees how angry his superior is and quickly tries to defend himself with ,"It's not a fault of design! It could have easily atomized that puny world, but if we persisted trying we would have blown are self's up instead! You should have fallowed my advice, and brought the Death Star with us from the beginning! It could have easily detected approaching ships and blast them before they could have a chance to surround it, like what happened! You were foolish to leave it with Harman 's fleet. Your arrogance would, GUH!"

He is cut off abruptly, as Weil grabs him by the throat! He lifts Tarkin right up and says,"Tarkin, you're damn lucky your genius brain is such a large assent to my estate or I would have killed you for your side backtalk many times over! However, keep forgetting who is in charge, and I swear ill stuff your brain in a jar! Bah, I still need more power, the power to destroy a world is not enough to topple my foes! "

Tarkin sighs and says," Pace yourself Weil, you can't get much higher than the power you have now, you just need to use it properly that's all. "

The Arbiter then says," Rest assured, no matter what tactics or plots that come out from those that try to stand in are way to freedom from there domain, will be burned by our will! They will never defeat us even if they have the bigger guns sir! Are spirit will let us hold on till they no longer can muster the power to fight!"

Weil looks amused and responds with" Ah, a fiery war cry Arbiter, but save it for the soldiers. What I need is something that can land me in the same court as the others. I still have a few tricks left. Speaking of tricks, were you able to retrieve Craft and the rest of his faithful devotes? As useless as he is, I would hate to have either the Lylat or Zannacross forces get their hands on my technology!"

Tarkin brushes the dust of his uniform and says, "Well, you mean my technology, but yes I did have their transmitters warp them on here as soon as possible. I think I'll make a few more modifications now, so they can stop performing so pathetically. Since I tested the process on a few number of test subjects, and it should be successfully on them all. And the best part is I don't have to worry about them protesting. Yes, I will show the cosmos yet who is the true genius! Still, I must admit, Xiza and his vector lapdogs have been pulling out enough tech to keep me on my toes. "

Weil narrows his eyes and says,"

That rat Xiza, ill give him credit for having nearly as good a poker face as me! The fact that even my resources can't find all the info on that green skinned rat makes my blood boil! Somehow he managed to be a member of the Lylat Kingdom 's subcommittee for years, while still being the Vector CEO, since its creation, and also being the head of the Space Pirates right under the Enji Knights nose!

Xiza, he must have something under his sleeve, and I want to know what it is! No matter what he is hiding, ill still win! No one can keep Weil Zabi from his destiny, whenever they try to, they find out the hard way who knows the most about winning! Now, set a course for Texagraud, time we gather up all the might for Zeon, to unleash the final blow, and bring me my true empire!"

With that the Death Star and the rest of the fleet head back to what remains of the Zeon Federation's core worlds so Weil can try and crawl on a little longer. But, enough of that, time to get back to are hero's latest mission!

---

We now return back to the view of are hero's, where Max is leading the charge through the immense Dämmerung , and somehow have found little to no security on their way as they busted through the docking bay. After speeding through a few floors, they were able to quickly make their way in to the main production department, which is a large city all in its self! Ben and co are ready for anything as they see a city nearly as large as the one on the world they were just fighting on!

Lacus takes a look around, and realizes it's a ghost town, not a single person can been seen.

She then says," This can't be right, a whole city, with no one in it? Dose everyone hear work for Xiza? "

Max narrows his eyes and says," Of course. After all, what better way to have a ideal line of production then having a workforce that is entirely controlled by your whims. And since they literally are in Xiza's total control with no were to escape, he can do whatever he wants with them."

Cloud looks around and responds with a cautious," We have had Lylat inspectors check this place before, and all workers seemed to be treated fairly. Although, in light of recent events, I would not take it past Xiza to prop up a thing or two."

Max chuckles and reacts with a crafty,"More like everything. Still, something is fishy, Bacchus, you sure you got the right code? "

The Cyborg answers with a resolute," it is a ninety percent chance the key code was genuine Mister Bruder, and as you saw with your own eyes we were able to past through their security with a minimum about of resistance. However I will say that its affirmative something is unsettling about this. My scanners do detect life singles around, but far fewer then the terrain would make you think. "

Brad gives one of his cocky grins and blurts out a eager," Well, maybe they heard us coming and knew they were about to get thrashed and turned tail!"

Ben rolls his eyes and says,"That's a huge problem Brad, we were suppose to have the element of surprise! But, now it looks like, they were expecting trouble, which could lead to greater trouble. Great, we better not have tripped a silent alarm or something."

Samus checks her visor and starts scanning stuff before she responds with," No, I checked and every hidden sensor in are path I made sure to disable. We should be in the clear, but it does not feel that way."

Zero just looks annoyed and says," Well, something is not right then. If they are acting like this even if we gave no sighs, then the only real explanation is that, they knew we were going to come from the beginning!"

Max narrows his eyes and takes out his massive sword and points it right at Bacchus 's throat as he says,"Bacchus, you better not have been playing me! "

Bacchus calmly responds with, "I assure you, I have no intention of double crossing you, I have no intention of siding with the man who likely ruined my life and played some role in causing so much pain throughout the cosmos. After all, money has no use to me in this state, and I will regain a truer body once I finish my goals."

Max just looks hard and his ally, and lowers his sword before his magic energy explodes and he says,"I can see it in your eyes, you're not with him. But, I think Xiza leaked the data on purpose, and lured us here. Damn it, I was careless!"

Ben just looks around and says,"But, why would Xiza go through all the trouble to lure us to his stronghold? Huh, what the?"

All of a sudden he, hears a noise, before he turns around and sees a barrage of various energy blasts coming his way! He swiftly defects the attacks with his Star Sword and sees the building in front of him blast apart, only for various Vector solders and Space Pirates break out! Several large elite pirates, and even a few Omega Pirates lumber out, and they are backed up by various Metroid 's and several large machines which appear to be special Enji Slayer bots!

Samus takes a look and says,"They are not even trying to hide it now, seems Xiza just wants us dead."

Max grins and reacts with a eager," So, his big plan was to lure us here so he could try and kill me himself? Hahahahah! I'll show him just how damn wrong he is! Think he can lock me up and kill me? Ill blast through all your damn guards and paid mercenary bozos Xiza , and rip you apart!"

With that he flash steps in front of the first wave of charging opponents, and with one massive swing slashes them all in half! Everyone then gets in to there fighting groove, and Cloud is one of the many who unleashes his magical aura and once more has a second sword pop out of his "First Sword" before he defects some shots fired from a pirate commander and yells out a gun ho," Well, even if this was all a trap, we have come too far to turn back now, get ready anyone!"

With that he zigzags to avoid a barrage of plasma shots, and then processed to quickly dispatch the nearest foes in his way. Everyone else then goes to try and settle this quickly. Too bad that there seems to be no end in sight to the amount of foes crawling out to greet them! After a few minutes of blowing away the competition Ben sees two large scorpion like Enji slayer bots blasting out of the buildings to his side and sighs before saying," This is ridiculous, with the size of this ship he can have enough grunts to keep us busy all day!"

He then throws his Star Sword like a boomerang to slash off the tail of one of the slayer scorpion just as it was going to fire a charged particle blast from it, and it misfires before blasting its fellow death machine in the back!

As Ben lands on the ground and catches his scared blade he sighs, before hearing a roar and turning around to see an Omega Pirate ready to blast at Ben with his shoulder cannons! However right as it's about to fire a new flash of energy appears, and the large pirate is vaporized!

Max just walks out of the smoke shaking his head and says," What does it matter how many lackeys Xiza has? No way any of them can make be break a sweet, and no way you should either! What's wrong Ben, all ready tired? Heh, you always did run out of steam rather quick."

Ben is annoyed at Max's smug remark and has his power level flare up again as he says,"

I am not the same kid who could barely endure one of your sparring sessions any more Max! You should know after we fought Kira, I have been training with Grand Master Myers in some private lessons. And now I am as skilled as you, you won't be able to look down on me anymore. "

Max just chuckles and snaps back with a wry," Oh really now? So Myers taught you some of his secret skills to counter act his failure to reign in his son and his former favorite pupil? Well, that might raise the bar, a little. Still, even if you have some ace moves, I still have like always the superior fighting ability, and I bet ill crush twice as many flunkies before they give up!"

Ben sighs before giving a small smile,"So, you're making this a contest? Typical. Still, at least it seems some things never change. Find, I'll show you!"

With that he turns around to instantly fire a crescent energy sword wave to blast away a group of Vector soldiers who were foolish enough to think they could sneak up on the two cousins! Max grins and has energy surrounded his fist before saying,"Oh, I see you're fired up! Too bad I am always on, Burning Knuckle!"

With that Max fires a blast to wipe out another batch of baddies before the blast burns through a building or two, and Ben says," Well, if you want to play it that way, multi shadow clones! "

With that Ben uses his power to create a dozen copies of himself before they all go at the foes. Max sees a few Ben clones hack at some vector guards before saying,"

Oh please, its quality not quantity! Bah, that still only counts as one you got it! I'll show you how a true ace warrior clears a path!"

With that Max backhands a missiles being thrown his way back at another elite pirate's face, before in an instant throws his Beskar sword through it before flash stepping it to catch it! Lacus just reflected a barrage of blasts with her energy barrier sees the two warriors both proceed to blow away Xiza 's men with ease, and sees both of them are excited.

She then says,"Oh Ben, it's like old times I guess with you two. Even after all the time that has past, and all that has come between them, they still are able to remember when they were so close. How sweet, that they have such a strong bond. Huh? "

She hears a tremor, and sees a Space Pirate go flying past her, with his head twisted around and his back broke, go through a building! A battle hungry Brad, all ready powered back up to fifty percent of his full power lands with a thud in front of his girl friend with a tremor as he pounds the skulls of two vector assassins together and says,"

What you doing girl? Trying to get shot? Stop messing around sightseeing and give me a hand clearing out theses losers so I can get to his Xiza and snap his puny neck!"

Lacus looks annoyed and has her Oath Keeper sword glow before she points it at a jet welding Space Pirate from above that was trying to get a drop on her, and vaporizes him in holy energy before saying,"I can take care of myself Brad, I am not a frail damsel in distress remember?"

Brad grins before his muscles flex more and says,"I never said my girl can't defend herself, after all you're the Unstoppable Juggernaught girl! Still, this requires ultimate brute force to get through this freak's overpriced toys ! Time he learns the hard way; you can't send robot's to do a man's job!"

With that he sees more enemies firing on him, and he laughs as their attacks just bounce off him! He then punch's his fists in to the ground before him, and lifts the ground right over them before he flings them right in to the edge of the entire ship! He then taps the ground hard with his foot and says,"

I am wasting my time on theses puny poor excuse for grunts! Hey Xiza, if you have any one who is really strong bring them out now if you want to live!"

Vaan hears this and after dodging the slash of a Pirates energy scythe he slashes him across the chest, and turns around in shock to say,"What are you doing Brad? Are you asking him to kill us all? We don't know what he has in store; he might even have that monster from that Juggernaught project Max told us about!"

Brad just cracks his neck and says," Oh don't be a wuss, that whole thing was most likely another lame failure of a lab experiment! Ill flatten anything he has! Ah, and who's the next man seeking a pounding? Huh?"

He hears a bunch of growling noises and says,"I don't care what your shape is, you're about to be missing your head all the same so stand out of the shadows before I drag you out and, huh? Whoa!"

He is shocked to see a Metroid appear out of the mess he caused, and at once the green and red creature charges at the shocked Brad, and latch's its large pincers on to the titan like man's head! He then screams in pain as the Metroid at once begins to devour Brad's magic energy and Lacus runs up and blurts out a panicked,"Brad! Are you ok? "

Brad just reacts with a smug," Oh please babe, this annoying tick can't harm me! I'll just rip it off and use it as a, RAH!"

All of a sudden the red nuclei covered creatures pal's come out of the shadows, and all latch on to Brad! As Brad's power is being latched on to him he gets even madder, and his muscles budge before he says,"What do you think you're trying to do? Think you can take all of my energy! Idiots, don't you know who you're dealing with? Damn it, I AM THE FREAKING JUGGERNAUT!"

With that Brad powers up even more, and all the glass in the buildings around him and the others shatter, before he releases a massive amount of power, so massive that it's too much for the Metroid's on him, and they all shatter!

Samus notices this and says,"That Brad, to have so much power that even a swarm of Metroid 's could not take it all, he really has a colossal amount of power despite his behavior. I wonder, maybe Max's hunch was not too far off, and he was the result of this Juggernaught project? "

Doug sends a few more foes flying with his steel hurricane kick and lands besides the bounty hunter and says," Nah, as much as a brainless battle hungry jerk Brad is, and as much as it would fit his profile, Brad's not the kind of guy who as the " capacity" if you will to pull such a stunt off like that. Besides, we would know if he was behind such a thing. Ah, might as well get the answers from the green skinned backstabbing suit himself, Sphere of Might!"

As Doug blasts away even more attackers we turn back to Ben, who with his clones has managed to clear away a good amount of attackers. However, he then sees two Omega Metroid 's emerging out of the ground and says," Damn it, we can't just spend all day fighting these guys! We have to move forward, to end this!"

Max lands besides him and says,"Just because I am ranking up the points it does not mean you should quite all ready! Tsc, but still, your right. This is most likely another ploy by Xiza to stall for time as he plans something nasty. Well, enough of this, its time he tastes more than a little of his own retribution! This has gone on long enough!"

To his side his new ally Bacchus has just finished blasting away a batch of pirates with his red Termination beam from his chest before his sensors alert him to something and he says," Mister Bruder, and Mister Auro, I just detected a massive new energy source approaching! You might want to reposition yourselves gentlemen!"

Max sighs and says," Now what are you talking about Bacchus? Huh, what the? Move it Ben!"

His cousin looks up, and sees a massive energy beam heading down from the sky to great them!

Both Ben and Max flash step out of the way, as the beam consumes the two Omega Metroid's that were about to charge at them, along with several of Ben's clones, as the whole city block is blown apart!

As Ben and Max land besides Cloud, X, and Leon Max looks up and says," Well, looks like the big guns just got drawn."

Everyone hears a new voice laughing as a male voice says,"Have you clowns had your fun? I would hope for your sake you have, because your role ends here!"

With this everyone hears the sounds of thrusters, and Ben looks up to see a giant golden mobile armor approaching them!

Hiryuumon growls before hissing out," So, now this Xiza is bringing out his real body guards is he? Bring it, the boss me and the others will smash it up good no matter what ever tricks it has!"

Cloud looks at the machine, and recalls seeing it before as he says," Wait, that's not a Vector Mobile armor, that ensign is from the Titans! And, I think I saw that machine in are last battle!"

The male voice laughs as the 42.6 meters height golden mobile armor, the Alvatore,closes in to hover right above the warriors of light, Max, and the others before the image of its pilot the Titan commander the brown haired black eyed Alejandro Corner!

Max grits his teeth and says," Why the hell is a pawn of Kira here playing the role of Xiza's guard hound?"

Alejandro moves his mobile armor's head right at Max and says," Ah, Max Bruder, your every bit as smug as Master Judicar described. But, your luck with surviving his judgment ends here! As always the wisdom he has is absolute. While he may have went to pursue that vermin Weil, we were able to detect your ship was moving out, and I was assigned to see where you trying to pull next. And, I happened to pull out of hyper space and see your assaulting the base of operations to lord Xiza, someone who is under the protection of the Titans!"

Ben narrows his eyes and points the Star Sword at the Titan before saying,"So, the Titan's main purpose now is to fight for whoever Kira, and the Zannacross Empire tells you to kill? You guys really are nothing more than murderous scum that will kill whoever is in your sights!"

Max just says," What a drag, so Kira is backing up Xiza, how unexpected. Still, unless you want your shinny new toy to blow up with you inside turn back now! I am not in the mood for mercy scum. "

This annoys Alejandro and he says,"I never expected the likes of you to understand are grand design. Just another reason you Enji will forever be linked to this current rotten universe, and why you must be purged! Order 66 will be completed, all Enji will be erased! Once I kill such high profile threats like Ben Auro and Max Bruder, I shall be rewarded handsomely by both Xiza and master Judicar, and I'll be able to prove my worth to exist in the new era! And it would do you well not to dismiss me so lightly warriors of light. This machine I am in was created for the purpose of making sure order 66 is completed, and is ready to counter all the powers you have!"

Max just rolls his eyes and says,"I am getting sick of running in to you Titan's and your deluded rantings! No way some shinny mobile armor is enough to stop me now, for one thing I am not even a Enji! Blazing Judgment!"

With that his sword burns with power as he takes a leap in the air as he prepares to slash the Alvatore in half! However its pilot at once uses its thrusters to dash backwards, before its giant particle cannon comes out of its center, and at once charges up its power before saying,"Max Bruder, you are insane to think your vendetta against the Titans, lord Xiza, and all the others you have a grudge against can end in anything but your painful end! However, since your causing such a tantrum, it's time for that end to happen right here!"

With that he fires a massive blast of energy from the cannon right at Max! However Max does not change his charge a inch, and just clashes with the blast head on, as his energy explodes and he says,"

Listen, Alejandro right? Kira must not have told you much about me, because if he did you would have memorized that I don't do the whole dying thing, at least till I finish what I and Kira started! So get lost!"

With that he charges right through the beam, using his sword to slash it in half, before resuming his charge at the Alvatore! However before he reach its golden small head on the top of it, out of no ware a massive golden GN energy barrier appears and bounces Max of him!

Alejandro chuckles and quips out a smug," I can see quite well you're stubborn, but I got this far by being equally as stubborn, if not more! Oh?"

He then sees his sensors picking up a bunch of energy signals, and turns around to see various attacks heading his way. However, the massive machine easily defects all the blasts, and sees Ben and the others all ready to take him down as Ben says," You may be stubborn, but so are we, and there is a lot more of us then you!" Alejandro has cannons pop out all over the Alvatore as he says,"That's it, come at me, I don't mind if you all want to come at me at once. I'll kill you all the same! Nothing will stop the death and rebirth of the universe!"

With this he fires a barrage of red energy blasts at everyone to keep them back, and cares little if he vaporizes any of the remaining Vector security forces of Space Pirates in the process! Ben moves at full speed to zigzag through the cross fire, before he is right underneath the hovering Titan's death machine. His Star Sword then glows as he says,"You guys are all the same, no matter if it's from the Titans, Zeon, Vector, Dark Enji or the Zannacross Empire! All you can see is your own twisted logic and using is as justification to destroy everything you see fit! Well, we won't let you! You're costing us enough time as it is, Shinning Flare Slash!"

With that Ben charges at the Alvatore to try and slash right through its underside! He is blocked by the appearance of the GN barrier, but he unleashes more power, and slowly begins to cut through this! This gets Alejandro's attention and he says," Ben Auro, your another special one. If only you were not foolish enough to defy us, but it's too late for second chances! Die!"

With that he catches Ben off guard, by having giant claws come out up front, and one of them reaches down below to try and slice up Ben! Are hero is forced to break of his attack to avoid this, and dashes back to where Cloud and Wyrmmon are, before his opponent says,"Enough playing around, you Enji will never win. Your softness will never bring true peace, just the illusion of it. We have the true answer, and there is nothing you can do to stop that!"

With that four large fang funnels pop out of the back of the mobile armor and at once float around to surround everyone and rain down even more attacks! As Ben and Cloud defect some more shots Cloud says,"Blast it, this mobile armor has everything and the kitchen sink. It has to have some weakness though."

Brad just winds his fist and says," I know its weakness, my fist! Enough of this ill rip it apart!"

With this he charges to tackle the golden mobile armor, only for it to respond by aiming its particle cannon as he says,"

Enough of your foolish remarks, you will all die now! You think a Anti Enji machine would not come prepared to kill Enji Knights? Don't think we are that stupid, deploy the Sensory Scrambler!"

Suddenly the Alvator unleashes a white orb from its cannon and while Ben prepares to deflect it suddenly the orb explodes and unleashes a blinding white light! As everyone is blinded Ben suddenly feels a extremely loud noise making his ears go ballistic, all while feeling a intense vibration that's throwing him off balance. As ben struggles to regain his bearings he realizes the pain is nearly overwhelming as he blurts out," Damn it, I can't focus!"

Ben can't even hear his own words and Alejandro through his mobile armor's custom screen sees the pain his targets are in and gets excited before muttering," Even the chosen one is still a mere human! The Sensory Scrambler unleashes a wave that not only causes a blinding flash and a deafening sound but unleashes a vibration that paralyzes all in range! Only the Alvator's customized cockpit makes me immune to its effects for even inorganic beings can't shrug this off! Of course your all still to much in pain to hear me, and I think that any further gloating should be saved till after your all nothing but atoms. So then, would you all please DIE!"

With that he fires another massive blast, but Brad stumbles near the beam , grins and charges up a large amount of green energy in to a ball in his right hand and as his face looks as sadistically excited he says," You can shove your speeches, I don't care what you say! Nice try loser but the Brad just swallows pain for dessert! In the end, the one who will guide the cosmos is me, the most powerful fighter of all!"

He then throws his energy orb to collide with the golden particle blast heading his way, and it causes a stalemate! As the two blasts cause a explosion Brad charges right through the smoke and says," Oh please, think that's enough power to stop me? YOU'RE DEAD WRONG!"

Brad then just smashes through the Sensory Scrambler without even breaking his stride and uppercuts the entire mobile armor, even with its barrier, all the way up to the artificial sky of the Dammuburge! This shocks the titans member greatly and he says," Impossible, he was able to keep his focus? No, how could a mere human, even one that strong and enhanced by magical energy, match the extreme power of this Alvatore! Huh?"

He is shocked to see Max charging at him once more as he says," You just don't get it, none of you guys do! It's more than just stats, its more than just raw power, it's the ability to make use of that power! I'll show you, Xiza, and Kira once and for all, that burning will can boil through your cold plots once and for all! Mirage Eraser Slash!"

With that he once more gives a powerful slash from his now glowing sword, and in responds Alvatore tries to catch it with one of its claws; however its pilot is shocked to see Max has powered up so much that his sword just slices through it! As the explosion rocks Alejandro he says,"Damn you Max Bruder, you won't deny me from my rightful place on the stage of destiny!"

As he fires another barrage of weapons at Max Ben sees this and says,"All right, Max is putting on the pressure, now let's finish the job!"

Max heads towards Ben and says,"Hey, what the hell are you saying Ben? I told you, this guy is mine, so get going!"

Ben then says," What, you're saying you can handle this guy on your own?"Max grins as he casually defects a few red energy blasts before he points to a large hole in the ground to the left made by the Alvator and says,"

Again? I thought you knew the hell you were talking to? Look, not only can I beat this guy one handed, but while I handle this you all spread out and try and get to Xiza. The more his eyes are diverted, the more he has to spread out his forces. And then if some of you guys can get to him, and then let's just say you can soften him up for me."

Ben just sighs and says," Your always thinking ahead I see, but, I guess you're right."

Leon then walks over and says, "Max's plan is are best course of action. While Max finishes this we should move out before Xiza can unleash even stronger guards to stop us. "

Brad looks annoyed and grunts out a angry,"Oh come on, you're just trying to deny me my glory again!"

Sabin looks annoyed and counters with a stern,"How much trouble do you want to get in Brad? We are going now!"

Lacus then looks at Brad and says,"Besides Brad, this way you can get to Xiza faster, maybe. Isn't that what you wanted? "

Brad sighs and says," Fine, I'll do it. "

Max just reacts with a cross," Don't screw up again, that goes for all of you! You to Bacchus, they might need you to get through some of the tougher security systems."

The large green android nods and says," Understood, I will do what I can Mister Bruder"

Max hears his foe coming back for him and gets annoyed as he says," Now get going! And as for you, Titan, Full Moon Crusher!"He fires another energy blast to try and blast through his opponent's shield, and as another explosion goes of Ben sighs and says,"

Max, I hope you know what you're doing. "

Hiryuumon then says," Don't worry boss, he seems to be knowing how to get things done so far! Let's show him we do to!"

Ben grins and says," Right, let's move out! With that everyone moves at full speed in to the new opening to take them to the underground section of the city department to move closer to Xiza. Alejandro sees this and says," Damn it, they are trying to get away! I won't let you escape! "

He has his funnels go after them, only to see Max appear to slash two of them at the same time in half with his massive sword! He then produces a half cocked smile ," I told you, your fight is with me and only me, because I don't need anyone else to finish you!"

The Alvatore then flies higher and says," Oh please, you really think they will be able to achieve anything?"

Max widens his grin before snapping back with a sly," I know Ben, him and his friends have a one track mind to stop guys like you. So, I am sure they will not rest till they do to all of Xiza 's men what I am about to do to you! Now lets step this party up a notch Titan scum!"

Max then charges once more to resume the fight, and we now turn are view to one who is watching the battle with great interest, Xiza!

---

The CEO of Vector is still sitting on his chair, and he now sees Ben and the others making their way through the underground part of the Dämmerung .

He reacts with a even," So, Max thinks by having Ben and the others spread out they can stop me? Oh how very wrong you are my friend. No matter how you try, you can never manage to stop me. It's impossible to win a game when you have no hand, and I have a royal flush. "

Salzon then widens his eyes and blurts out,"Ah, it seems the Zinyu force is hear at last. Bah, that took far too long since they live right below this department!"

Xiza chuckles and responds with a coy," Oh you know Captain Zinyu always sees himself as a showman, and at least he is not, too late. Open the door."

With that the two large doors in front of him open, and five men wearing Zinyu special uniforms enter. They all line in the order of their height. The second largest one, a human looking man, with as many muscles as Brad and orange hair.

The man grins before he gets in to a fancy position and says," Bacom!"

The man next to him, a even taller green skinned humanoid with a yellow shell and a red hat like thing for hair and red eyes gets in to his own position before saying," Charter! "

Next to him a shorter normal looking human with white hair like a rock star gets in to position as he says with a Australian accent ,"Grace!"

Next to him a much shorter blue skinned creature who kind of looks like a frog with four eyes gets in to his own position and says," Billdoh!"

The last man who is in the center and looks like the leader of the group, a red skinned man with horns out of his head then gets in to his own position and says," Capitan, ZINYU! And together we are,."

With that they all get in to a pose, power ranger style before they all say," THE ZINYU FORCE!"

As they remain in there position Salzon and Xiza just look at them funny, and Xiza coughs before reacting with a strained," Um, yes, I know who you are, you work for me after all. "

Captain Zinyu just gets out of his pose and laughs before saying,"Hahaha, of course lord Xiza, we just wanted to show you are new pose! What you think? We pulled an all nighters working on it!"

Salzon just face palms and says,"You're the presidents elite warriors, his planet brokers, not a sports team! Show him some respect or it will be coming out of your pay!"

Zinyu just looks annoyed and chides out," Relax you damn pencil pusher, we are just showing the president are unbeatable fighting sprit! So, from the ruckus it seems we have visitors, want us to greet them? "

Xiza has his eyes narrow as he says," If you would Captain, you and your boys are so good at being good hosts. I just ask that you treat are guests, with at most care."

All five members chuckle and Grace says," Oh you don't have to worry, we will make sure that the Enji have a visit they never forget, although they won't be doing much remembering for long!"

Xiza just says," You act like this, and you will die. Max Bruder, Ben Auro, Cloud Strife, Megaman X and Zero are just some of the trespassers that you are to deal with. Taking such elite warriors lightly would be very foolish. "

Charter then laughs and pips out a smug," They may be good, but it's time we show them who the true elite warriors are! With my speed ill run circles around them before I kill them!"

Zinyu then counters with," Easy there, President Xiza is right, this is a serious fight on are hands boys! So time we show them why we are the destroyers of all who oppose the might of the Vector corporation! All right, Zinyu Force, time to move out! Ten hut!"

With that they all begin to scream loudly before marching in a line in dramatic fashion, and then flash stepping out of the room!

Salzon just sighs and says," Honestly, even after all this time I still can't take them seriously."

Xiza just chuckles and responds to his servant with a wry," But they are serious about their work Salzon, there is no way I would tolerate their behavior otherwise. After all, despite his behavior, Zinyu is a genius at battle, with the power to back it up. His Zinyu force has been quite good at crushing resistance on worlds that I won't wish to alert the attention of others. With this, we can count a few more Enji falling to their deaths."

Salzon pauses before reacting with a uneasy," What about Max, and Ben? "

Xiza presses a button, and the images of Max and Ben appear. Max is still fighting the Alvatore, and Ben is still with the others dashing through another tunnel and blasting apart whatever security is coming their way.

Xiza watches on with amusement as he mutters a casual," What about them? Your fear of them is getting embarrassing Salzon, they still are no threat to me. Ill lure Max right in too where I want him, before he can perform his final use in this dimension. And Ben, it seems he and the others are walking right in to the jurisdiction of Mother Brain. Excellent since Samus is with them as well, she will be most happy to see them. And, with all the upgrades I installed on this model, I have a feeling things will not go down the same path as what happened on planet Zebes and on Phaaze.

At the very least, even if Ben manages to survive it can knock of some of his pitiful friends. Now, how close are we to arriving at our destination? "

Salzon then checks to his terminal and says," We are half a hour away from arriving at this Halo instillation."

Xiza forms a mad evil grin as he says,"Good, make sure nothing keeps us from arriving there. Heheheh, it's time for the fireworks to begin. It will be such a magnificent sight, the light show of my ultimate triumph! Hahahahaha!"

---

As Xiza goes on to laugh like the evil mad man that he is we now turn to the views of are hero's once more, who are now in the process of descending even deeper in to the depths of the gargantuan Vector ship. After crossing another three hall ways, Ben sees a giant pathway with many different halls, elevators, and doors. Samus sees this and says,"

Oh my, how unexpected, Xiza has made this difficult. Since he has been behind all of the Space Pirates previous layouts I am not really surprised. Still, it's likely going to be a grueling series of trial and error in order to get to Xiza."

Brad is as impatient as ever and grinds out a dismissive,"Bah, all of these little stall tactics are so annoying, you think he would show some guts if he is as big as a hot shot as he thinks he is!"

Sabin sighs and tries to ease his disciples restlessness with," Calm yourself Brad. Vile worms like this man are like Kefka, Xehamaru, and other fiends; they take delight in seeing their prey suffer before they bother to finish the job. However, this Xiza is in store for quite a shock when he sees he will lose this newest game, quite badly. "

Terra then looks around and says," But, with all of these different pathways, it will be quite difficult to find the correct path. And, I can't sense any magic energies at all, even Max's, and I am quite sure he is alive."

Bacchus nods and says," Yes, I am quite sure Mister Bruder has not perspired in the spand of time that we left him, and yet I can't defect him on any of my scanners. The most logical conclusion is that Xiza is blocking everything with his various gear. We must be ready for anything. However, at the same time, time is of the essence and it would seem the best way for us to move forward effectively is too spilt up. "

Ben eyes the Cyborg and retorts with a tense," What, really? Come on guys we are all experienced enough at this to know you don't want to split up when your in the enemies lair! Great, this is just want Xiza wants us to do."

Bacchus eyes Ben and responds with," It will put us at a disadvantage but never the less its the only way to assure we might get to Xiza before its to late."

Hiryuumon sees his pal looking undecided and just looks confident," Don't worry boss, theses jerks might be trying to block us off, but they can't block my sense of smell! I can find everyone else and if we find the correct path we are all set!"

Cloud looks at the Digimon and says,"Not the most solid plan, but it's the best we have at the moment. All right everyone, be careful. "

Brad then looks at the tram like transport to the left, flicks is wrist, and creates a force powerful enough to smash the energy barrier down while saying, "

Come on Lacus, my gut is telling me to head this way. "

Vaan then looks funny at Brad and says,"Are you sure we should trust your gut instinct Brad? Last time you told us to trust us it took us twice as long to find the target!"

Brad looks annoyed and says,"Hey, that was a setup, don't blame me! All right, I'll show you all! Let's show them all who is the true winners!"

With that he grabs Lacus by the shoulder and drags her along with him as he marches through the path way to the hover tram! Ben then looks concerned and says," Wait, don't go rushing off Brad!"

Lacus just smiles back and says," Don't worry Ben, everyone, I'll make sure Brad behaves good luck and be careful!"

Terra then sighs and says,"Well, I suppose we should fallow are squad mates, right Sabin? Come on girls."

With that Lacus and Brad's teammates follow after him, and an annoyed Ben clutches his fist and says,"Damn it Brad, after all this, you're just a senseless jerk, and you always will be. "

Kyle then chuckles and walks over to pat Ben on the back and says,"Don't worry Ben, Brad's in for a rude awaking if he thinks he can just act like this all the time. Somehow I don't think the Masters will take Brad's newest stunt very well."

Leon closes his eyes and says," Somehow I think that's an understatement. There is two kinds of foolishness. The one you and your father Stan has, the cluelessness that is from your good nature, that is the type that can be very irradiating, and yet hard to stay mad at for long. Brad's foolishness however, stems from his overblown selfish desires, and it's not one that is as over looked. The masters have been growing more and more aggravated with Brad's lack of desire to work on his faults, and today's events might be the last straw, at last."

Kyle then nods and says,"Right! Brad's never going to be a Enji after they hear that he, hey! Are you saying me and my dad are idiots?"

Loni just pounds Kyle on the head and says,"The point is that Brad's not being a team player, and if he can't shape up he is going to be shipped out! But enough about that, one jerk at a time. What path you want to take? "

Relala looks around, sees the middle ladder and says," How about this one? "

X sees this and says," Its worth a shot, we will cover you guys. Ready hunters? Let's move out!"

With that X, Axl and Zero at once clime on the walls of the path to move speedily up, and Zero turns around to look at Ben and says,"Don't keep us waiting guys, this is going to be another big one."

As Squad 7 sees the rest of the blond hair from the Maverick hunter vanish with him, and Kyle's group with them, Ben looks at the path right in front of them and says,"

Well, maybe with all of these twists the path to him is the one most obvious? "

Doug shrugs and says," Worth a shot buddy, here we go!"

Samus just walks forward and says,"Sigh, you guys are just going to make things sloppy. Let's just get this done."

With that, Squad 7, Samus and Bacchus move forward in hopes of finding the elevator that leads to their target.

---

They descend yet another level, and when they enter they see that the hallways are increasingly filled with wires, and chambers with magma, along with more and more gun turrets. In fact, Samus eerily notices that as they go deeper through the hallways, that the area is reminding her of the main part of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, Tourian !

As they blast through an odd large black eyed creature that was covering the newest door in their way, they enter another room, and see they are on platforms surrounded by lava. Samus sees this and says,"

This is starting to feel rather nostalgic, in a bad way."

Ben looks at Samus and says," Why, what's wrong Samus? "

Samus just turns to Ben and says,"It's just, this place reminds me of, oh never mind, it must because Xiza really is the leader of the space pirates after all. And it's all the more reason we must stop him now."

Ben gives Samus a thumbs up and responds with a confident,"Don't worry with all of us here, he will be stopped no matter what. Come on, let's keep going. "

She nods, and they move forward, only to find their path blocked by Zebetite energy barriers, and more gun turrets and strange rinkas fire on them. However Ben has no problem defecting the shots, and he then slashes the barrier at the same time Cloud dose, and manages to shatter it. After repeating this for a minute or so, Ben says,"

This is rather elaborate defenses, they must be trying to protect something big, this must be the path to Xiza! What else would be worth protecting? "

Doug lungs forward and kicks down another barrier, and is shocked at what he sees as he jumps back and says,"Whoa! Maybe it's this? Its ugly enough that's for sure!"

Ben and the others jump forward, and see something very ugly in their path! Ben sees what appears to be a giant brain with spikes in a large glass jar, surrounded in some elaborate machine. Ben raises an eyebrow and blurts out a revolted,"What the, what the hell, is that?

Samus aims her cannon right at her old foe and responds with a stone cold,'Its Mother Brain, the monstrously that commanded the actions of the Space Pirates on Zebes! So, Xiza recreated it. Just like with Metroid Prime, he clearly wants to recreate the power he let slip through his fingers."

Bacchus then looks right at the large brain and reacts with a intrigued,"I see, so this is the biomechanical supercomputer codenamed the Aurora that was corrupted and converted by the pirates."

Doug just grinds wildly before blurting out," Man, talk about one ugly computer. Let's shut this thing down."

James nods and aims its energy bow at it while saying," Agreed, destroying this thing might damage the systems of the ship."

Ben nods, and then proceeds to power up his magic aura and says,"Then what are we waiting for? Let's smash this thing up!"

Samus, knowing the true power of the brain is alarmed and gets in front of Ben before saying,"Wait! It's not as defenseless as it appears!"

Hiryuumon then growls and says," What is it going to do? Learn us to death? Er, uh oh!"

Everyone sees the brain glows, before various gun turrets pop up and open fire! As everyone performs evasive maneuvers to avoid being hit James says,"

It may not have much of a physical presence, but it's certainly not defenseless. Still, this level of security is just a nuisance. And we have more important places to be, Licht Regen!"

With this James's unleashes the full power of his Quincy styled magical abilities, and unleashes his Ginrei Kojkyaku, power firing in an instant a storm of energy arrows that covers the room, and at once destroys every defense Mother Brain summoned!

Hiryuumon then looks excited and says," All right, time to turn on the heat ! Hiryuumon, Digvloe to! Wyrmmon!"

As he is briefly consumed with light before transforming to his next stage he fly's in his new form, and glares at the brain before roaring out," Chew on this ugly! Magma Cyclone!"

With that the Champion level digimon fires a powerful stream of fire at the glass jar protecting the brain! This causes Mother Brain to rumble, as the water it's in begin to boil! Bacchus then has its arms transfigure to a large cannon and says," Yes, this path will surely disable it soon, Blessed Buster!"

With this the cyborg fires a massive blast of energy, that easily shatters the glass around Mother Brain and causes an explosion! When the smoke clears, the smoke is gone, but the brain reminds! Ben sees that despite some burns it's still there!

Ben then says,"Well, it's clearly a product made to last, however, it's not going to last when I am through with it! Huh?"

Everyone hears the brain make a loud rumbling sound and Ben says," What the, is that thing alive?"

Samus then goes over to Ben and says," I told you, it's much more then it appears to be! If you let your guards down then your all going to regret it!"

Ben nods, before his power explodes and he says,"Don't worry Samus, I am not going to let a possibly alive supercomputer brain get the jump on me. Whatever tricks you have in store Mother Brain, I am not going to let you get the chance to pull them off! Shinryukenha!"

With that Ben unleashes his power in the form of his favorite energy blast, and it hits Mother Brain dead on, and hits it so hard it blasts it right of its mechanic platform and it falls to the acid surrounding the area around them all! As the brain sinks in to the acid Doug grins and says,"All right! You pulverized that freak! Way to go Ben!"

Ben nods and walks over to Samus and says," Well, at least that takes care of that before things can get out of hand, right Samus? Huh, is something wrong?"

He sees Samus just charges her beam cannon as she points it at the brain as she unleashes a fierce,"Kid, you have no idea what you just did! All you did was make it mad!"

Ben looks at one of Samus 's archenemies bobbling over the acid and he scratches his head and says,"What? Your saying it's still alive? It looks rather dead to me to be honest. But, I guess you do have experience with the thing. "

Ben leans over to take a closer look at the brain, and is not expecting a single freaky eye to open out of no ware, and glare at Ben!

Ben jumps back and says," What the, that thing has an eye!? Hey, where did this massive power come from? Good grief, this is going to be ugly."

Everyone feels the ground shake, and hears a large roar before the entire area begins to shake, and the entire room begins to move!

Everyone begins to see that Samus was not kidding when she said that there was more than meets the eye to Mother Brain, as it emerges from the acid, with a gigantic repulsive body with clawed feet emerge! Now so big the spikes on its brain nearly scrapes the ceiling Ben sees purple acid fall from the creatures teeth and sees it instantly melt the floor before producing a mortified,"So, it's a brain that can transform it to a massive monster? Figures. Still, now I see why you wanted us to be careful."

Samus just shakes her head and says,"A little late to take my warning seriously Ben. Sigh, let's just destroy it quickly. Still, this is bad, the power readings from Mother Brain are high enough to make it as strong as five of the one's I fought on Zebes!"

Cloud just powers up his aura and says,"If that is the case, then we will just have to make sure to hit it with six times the force you used to defeat the previous one, because we can't afford to lose to this thing!"

Doug cracks his knuckles and throws in a gutsy," Man, this is going to get even uglier, but time to rattle this bloated evil cranium! "

With that Mother Brain unleashes a massive roar that nearly blows every one of their feet! It then fires a barrage of blue energy rings from its eye, and Cloud and Doug have to flash step as it blasts away the ground! The two then charge at her and Cloud has his sword shimmer with his magic energy as he firmly states," Enough, you won't imitate us, Finishing Touch!"

Doug then adds a fierce," Acrobat Locus!"

With that Cloud and Doug both pound Mother Brain right at the, brain. However this does not even cause it to flinch! It then responds and fires another blue ring right at the spiky haired warrior, hitting him before he can react, and blasting him in to Doug, causing both of them to come crashing down to the ground! Ben at once warps right in front of them and says,"Doug, Cloud Sensei, you guys ok?"

His comrades quickly rebound and Cloud says," Don't worry, that was nothing. Still, this thing's tougher than I expected."

Ben then gets mad and says," You freak, you're going to pay!"

Mother Brain then fixates its eye at Ben, and everyone is shocked to hear a creepy distorted voice growl out,"All intruders, must be terminated. "

Samus then aims her cannon at the large foe and says," The only thing that is going to be terminated is you! You will never get me down, I'll keep causing you to fall apart, till you never come back!" She then fires a super missile at Mother Brain, which is casually caught in its massive hands, and is crushed with ease before it unleashes its onslaught at Samus. However Ben warps in front of bounty hunter and slashes the blast in half before saying,"

Enough, I came here to bring Xiza to justice , not to get killed by a mutate freak!"

Wyrmmon then charges right at Mother Brain's side and says," That's why you're going down ugly! Dragon's Rage!"

With that the Digimon slashes right at his foe's leg, only to get the responds of Mother Brain drop kicking Wyrmmon through a wall! Bacchus then runs over to Ben and says," Mister Auro, anything less than maximum force will be insufficient to stop this monster. "

Ben nods and says," Your right. Well, I was trying to hold back incase Xiza had a nasty secret power. But, I don't want anyone to get killed by this thing either. All right, let's wrap this thing up quickly."

Mother Brain seems to agree with Ben, and opens its mouth to spit out several glowing bombs! Bacchus fires several missiles from his shoulders to intercept them, and form the smoke Ben charges at Mother Brain! He then sees it roar and try to blast him, but he warps out of the way, and appears above the giant monster as he says,"Your stink is enough motivation for me to kill you quickly! Get lost!"

With that he unleashes a massively magically enhanced punch right at Mother Brain's jaw! This causes it to stagger back, and Ben even manages to chip a tooth off! However, this just causes Mother Brain to look even madder as it roars again! Ben narrows his eyes and says,"This thing is rather tough, I wonder if Xiza managed to dig up some more Phazon to power this thing up?"

Samus uses her scan visor to analyses her arch opponent and says,"That is impossible, the source of Phazon was definitely destroyed, and we stopped the pirates from recreating it with their Metroid Prime X copy. Besides, I am not getting the same readings. But, we will be in a better position to analyses it when it's a corpse!"With that she fires a powerful hyper beam blast right at the monsters head, and it hit Mother Brain right as she was going to fire, causing a chain reaction that causes her attack to backfire, and cause a explosion!

When the smoke clears, Mother Brain is still standing, but damaged. In fact one of the spikes is chipped on her brain, but everyone is shocked to see what appears to be a curse seal of Necrocalcous crystal in its place! Ben then says," What the, when did Xiza get his hands on those? "

Cloud quickly answers with a stern,"Since Kira is now a member of the Zannacross Empire, and Xiza is in essence an galactic arms dealer, it's not entirely surprising for this. Still, this is just another problem we don't need to deal with at the moment. "

Ben just looks determined and says," Still, even if this thing is powered further by the essence of darkness it's still going down!"

In responds the symbol of Zannacross glows on its brain, before it shows off even more power by firing two massive red blasts from its hands, and are heroes manage to dodge it, only for its power to cause a shockwave to blast them back! The energy flares shatter a chunk of area they are in, and Doug cautiously says," It seems this freak is just warming up! Guess we better shut it down before it gets even stronger! "

In responds, Mother Brain begins to gather a large amount of energy, and her brain begins to glow and turn many different colors! Samus remembers this sight and reacts with a dire," Get ready, it's about to unleash its most powerful attack!"

James sighs and says," You really have to work on not aggravating your opponents in to unleashing their strongest attacks on you Doug."

Ben just powers up and says," To late for that now, let's just worry about living through this, Shinryukenha!"

With this Ben fires of his energy wave attack again, just as Mother Brain fires her ultimate rainbow colored energy beam from her brain! The two blasts collide, and are locked in a beam struggle. It is a stalemate for a minute, till his friends add their attacks in to the mix. However, while this pushes the hero's attack forward, it can't seem to overcome their foe's attack entirely, and soon enough Mother Brain roars before it pours more energy in to its blast, and causes the energy exchange to become unstable, causing another explosion, one that rocks the chamber they are in!

This reaction is so strong, that the ground begins to crack. And the ground around Samus shatters entirely! Luckily there is another series of platforms in the level below them, and Samus skillfully lands on her feet. Ben and Cloud run over to the remaining edge of the area and look down on Samus and Ben says,"

Samus! You ok? "

Samus slowly gets back on her feet and answers with," I am fine, I been through worse than this. Wait till you try getting hit dead on by one of those things. Don't worry about me; we have to take down Mother Brain as fast as possible! Huh, what is this?"

All of a sudden her scanners alert her of a sudden new spike in energy, and a new evil chuckling emerges before she sees from the darkness two yellow eyes glaring at her murderously as it says," This one thinks you should forget Mother Brain. Because this one thinks you have something else to worry about!"

Samus aims her cannon and says," Ridley, when the, AH!"

In an instant the dragon villain dives at her, and catches her in his claws before swiftly flying in to the air! He then roars as he says,"More than Mother Brain, the one who deserves you most is the great Ridley! How nice of you to come to our home, now once and for all I will rip you apart you wretched hunter of the Chazo!"

With that Ridley blasts right through the roof carrying Samus with him, and just like the cut scene in brawl he slams her in to the wall and drags her through it! Only this time there is no Pikachu to bail her out! Ridley just throws her through a wall, and out of Ben and the others sight as he says,"I will not let you disgrace me any longer Samus Aran! Time you taste the death you so often tried to give me, and learn once and for all that Ridley is superior!"

As Ridley Ultimas roars loudly and charges through the room out of everyone's sight a nervous Ben yells out,"Samus! Damn that Ridley, he just loves the low blows. We have to stop him from, whoa!"

He is about to dash forward only to see a red energy flare in his path! As he barley manages to jump over it he sees the one responsible lumber forward. And as Mother Brain roars again Ben's power explodes and he says," I had enough from you! You're really starting to annoy me, and your tricks are not going to kill my friends! "

Mother Brain just drools more acid from its mouth as it says,"All hostile sources must be deleted. Samus Aran, is a constant offender to company policy, and now enforcer Ridley Ultma will finish her. And as she dose I will make sure none of you can exit this room alive."

Ben just has the energy around his Star Sword surge before he says,"No more playing around, I rather not leave Samus along with that powered up monster. This ends now, Ban, huh? "

Just as Ben is about to unleash his true power, he sees the eye of Mother Brain glow red, before he and everyone else is shocked to see black and grey gas come out of the brain! It spreads out fast to, and before everyone can react it's all over them! Ben tries to cover his mouth but it's too late and he says," Great, this can't be good. James, get rid of it fast before it takes effect!"

As everyone coughs and Ben's friend says," I, can't, gather the energy. In fact, I can't move at all!"

Cloud then tries to move, but he can't either and says,"Damn it, it has to be some sort of nerve gas!"

Doug then clumsily adds," Fast moving one to, I can barley move my tong!"

Bacchus is effected to and says,"My sensors are telling me that this is a modified chemical agent, that paralyzes all human tissue. It must be very good, because like I said before the only organic parts of my body are my brain and spinal cord, and yet it is fully effecting me as well."

Ben just reacts with a grim," Smashing, but more importantly do you have a way to neutralize this? Because, this is really putting us in a bind!"

Bacchus quickly answers with a lament toned," I am sorry Mister Auro, but I cannot. I am ashamed to say I was not prepared for this, AH!"

Before he can finish his speech Mother Brain shows them she is not going to let him finish when she march's over and kicks the frozen Cyborg hard! As Bacchus goes flying Ben tries to move, but can't move a inch and says,"Damn you Mother Brain, I won't let it end like this! GUH!"

Mother Brain seems to be eager to shut Ben up, because its next act is to smash its foot down right on Ben! As Ben is slammed in to the ground so hard a imprint is made all he can do is scream in pain unable to counter act or do anything to defend himself!

Mother Brain then gives of a monstrous laugh as it rasps out," Subjects weaknesses have been exploited and threat level decreased. Preparing dissection of subjects. "

It's about to aim its arms at Cloud and co, before it is caught off guard as its blasted in the back, from Wyrmmon! It turns around to see the Digimon looking furious as he says," Hey! You cheated you lousy brain monster! I won't let you do that to the boss and the rest of my friends!

"Ben looks at his Digimon partner and says," Wyrmmon, you're not affected by the gas?"

The dragon just fly's harder and says,"Well, my nose itches but otherwise I feel ready to rip apart this ugly jerk!"

Bacchus then says," Of course. Your friend is a Digimon, and the gas must only have an affect on human cells!" Mother Brain then looks at Wyrmmon and says,"

Target immune to substance, switching to destroy procedure."

Ben then says," Wyrmmon, try and get the others to help! You're no match for that thing on your own!"

Wyrmmon just says,"Sorry Boss, but if I leave you all hear like this your brain food! I'll just have to fight with everything I got! Wyrmmon, Digivole to," A golden sphere of light then covers him, before he breaks out in his much larger ultimate level form and says," Geno Wyrmmon! All right, time to take out the kid gloves! Striking Crusher Claw!"

Since Geno-Wyvermon now almost the size of his opponent the large metal digimon uses his ion thrusters to charge at Mother Brain at full speed, before slashing at it right in the face with his powered up glowing claw! However to his dismay is strike does not cause her to move an inch, and in responds she just unleashes a barrage of blue energy rings to hit Geno-Wyrmmon hard and blast him through a wall!"

At once he uses his ion engines to get right back up! As he charges once more Ben can only watch him being head butted back down and he says," Stop it Geno-Wyrmmon! You're not strong enough, she will just kill you!"

As he is slammed right in to the ground he looks at Ben and says,"So? I have to try! I am your partner Boss, and your friend! I won't let you down again! Maybe if I can stall it long enough the gas will wear of or something! "

Cloud then says," Ben, he is right. Even if he knows he can't win, he is doing everything he can to try anyway. Because as foolish as it is, it's not like we have much options. " Geno-Wyrmmon then fly's in to the air and says," Listen up you freak! You're never going to stop us! Because we are fighting for justice, and your just a big ugly brain who can only destroy! Trinity Fury Cannon!"

With that Geno-Wyrmmon gives it everything he has and fires from the two charged particle cannons on his shoulder and a blast from his mouth to unleash a massive attack that consumes Mother Brain in another explosion!

The dragon then says," See, you're not such hot stuff after all! Huh? Oh nuts."

He is not happy to see Mother Brain stomp out of the smoke unharmed, and just roars loudly once more! It then says," Pokemon, your power is weak. You will not be allowed to delay my orders any longer."

With that it at once shocks Ben's pal by quickly firing two energy flares from both of its hands, and blasts Geno-Wyrmmon so hard he is blasted back in to Hiryuumon! As he lands on the ground in pain Mother Brain walks forward and says," Subject has reverted to rookie level; chances of victory are now zero, time to commence deletion. "

Ben sees Hiryuumon struggle to get back on his feet as he growls and says,"Think you got me? Hah, this is nothing! Your not even that smart, because I am no pokemon, I am a Digimon! And we are a lot more powerful ! I can beat you even on this level!"

Ben is worried and says," Hiryuumon, no! Hey you! Pick on something your own size! I bet you can't even win without cheating!"

This just causes Mother Brain to turn around and say," Matter of victory is unimportant, all that matters is completion of task!"

With that Mother Brain then fires a barrage of blue energy rings at Ben and his pals, and as they are still paralyzed they are helpless and get blasted back to the edge of the chamber! Ben's Star Sword is also blasted out of his hand, and near the edge of the acid pool surrounding them as it flies near Hiryuumon! The digimon sees this and sees that it's about to fall near the acid and dives to it before saying," I got it!"

Ben's digimon partner is just able to catch it with his tail before it falls and he takes a sigh of relief and looks at Ben before saying," Ben, I promised, ever since you hatched me out of that temple on Mobius, that I would always have your back! I, was not able to help you when you needed it, even when I was right there! I could not do anything to stop the pain, the pain that let Kira nearly have that freak Darth Idious take over your body! But, I swear that I will never again fail you! That's why, no matter what it takes, I'll make sure we all come home from this, and have dinner, with a round of frosty chocolate Milkshakes! Either Flame!"

The Digimon fires the biggest attack it can manage in its current form at Mother Brain, but it was little more than a bug bite to the powerful gruesome monster! It then turns its attention to him and says," Why do you persist on speeding up your demise Digimon?"

Hiryuumon charges at it, with Ben's Star Sword still in his hand as he says," I am not going to lose ! I have more power than you think, and its time, time to see if I really am worthy to be the partner of the hero of the cosmos, Ben Auro!"

Ben sees this and says,"Hiryuumon, your always trying to make me feel better. I never realized you blamed yourself for me becoming consumed by the dark side and turning in to Darth Idious. That was never your fault, you were always at my side! Even, even when I felt everyone betrayed me, and I had no one to turn to, you stood by me, even sharing my sorrow by transforming to Helldramon! That's why, I can't lose you! You're my friend, Hiryuumon!"

Mother Brain just begins to channel a large amount of power in to its brain again as it prepares its most powerful attack and says," It is time to prove how futile your efforts are. There are no double crossing super Metroid's to interfere this time, your termination shawl commence! "

It then fires its massive rainbow colored beam of destruction right at Hiryuumon, and everyone is horrified as Ben screams out, " NO! Hiryuumon!"

Hiryuumon does not change his course at all, and with his eyes full of resolve he says,"Bring it on! I'll show you how powerful my devotion to the boss is! Huh?"

He, and everyone else is shocked to see the Star Sword glow with light out of no ware, and fires a beam of light that consumes Hiryuumon! All the crystal shards shoot out beams as well, and they all blast right in to the digimon, before it forms a barrier around him that 's powerful enough to cause Mother Brain's blast to split in two half! Hiryuumon 's eyes then glow with golden energy and he says,"All right freak! I am feeling it, time to show you just what an angry digimon can do!

Hiryuumon, WARP Digivole to!"

With this the dragon is consumed with another sphere of energy, but its different this time as the amount of power being released is enough to cause the acid to burst up as geysers, the walls to crack and even create a shockwave that knocks Mother Brain back a little! James sees this and says," What, what happened? Did the Star Sword give him enough power to turn back in Geno-Wyrmmon? "

Ben starts to see a outline form inside the energy and sees the outlines of both Wyrmmon and Geno Wyrmmon flash by before a new shadow takes shape, and senses his partner's magical energy in it, before he says,"No, something feels different. Maybe, could he, finally have reached his final form? Wait, does that mean he is going to turn in to Helldramon again?"

Ben sees that his question is about to be answered, as the wall of golden energy in a instant shatters!

Everyone sees a new figure emerging, one much smaller, though just as powerful looking as Geno-Wyrmmon step out! Ben sees a much more humanoid digimon, covered entirely in gold and purple knight like armor with brief dashes of blue and red on it. His face is entirely covered in a near Gundam like helmet with horns like a dragoon, but Ben can spot that his eyes are the same as Hiryuumon!

He has a red cape coming out of his back, and his armored shoulder pads seem to have a mix of dragon and angel like wings on his back. The figure then has his aura stabilize, and like Ben in his Bankai state it's a massive golden colored one! The digimon then glares at Mother Brain and says,"

Meet the TRUE Mega level form of the Digimon partner of Ben Auro,

a member of the digital Royal Knight;s,

Shinryudramon!"

While Doug can barely move a muscle he manages to pull off a brief smirk and says,"So, this is legit Hiryuumon's Mega level? Awesome! Heh, and great timing to pull it off to!"

James says," Yes, I must say it's a much more heroic looking form then Helldramon."

Ben can't help but look impressed as he blurts out a prideful," Heh, what you expect? Helldramon was just a byproduct of the darkness, this is what he can really do! I knew you could do it Hiryuumon, or more like Shinryudramon! Now, show them what happens when you try and mess with us!"

His partner nods before he puts the Star Sword down and says," 'With pleasure boss! "

Mother Brain seems unimpressed and roars again before saying," No matter what form you take Digimon, your victory will never materialize. "

Mother Brain then fires two more streams of red energy, but while it hits Shinryudramon dead on, it just bounces of his armor! He then extends his hand, and from his hands a large white black and platinum sword forms before he welds it one handed!

He points it at Mother Brain and says," I think it's time you learn what the true power of a Digimon, especially one who has the desire to protect his friends can do!"

Mother Brain once more gathers energy from its brain, and swiftly fires another massive rainbow beam at the Digimon. However Shinryudramon has his energy explode before he charges with his sword drawn at the blast and he says,"

Don't think you can win with the same old tricks! You cause us enough trouble you monstrosity, and it ends here!

Manga Scintillate Edge!"

The Digimon stands still as the blast is about to consume him, before in a flash he vertical slashes the energy beam attack with ease, and shatters it! At the same time he fires of a sword of energy from his original blade, slicing Mother Brain's right arm off and slice deeply in to its right side! This causes Mother Brain to roar in pain, and its very body begins to turn red with its anger!

Shinryudramon then raises his sword and points it right at his foe's head before it glows and he says,"

This fight is over. I don't know if you're cunning enough to know when to quit when you're ahead. But if you have desire to survive leave now!"

Mother Brain just looks at him, before moving its long neck in the direction of his still paralyzed friends and responds with a vexed,"No, its you who should stop now if you wish for your friends to survive Digimon! While your power has exceeded expected levels, your glaring weakness still lingers. And your weakness is your connection with theses life forms! If you come a step closer they will all be blasted in to bits a second later! Do you understand? "

Shinryudramon looks at Ben and the others, before turning back to Mother Brain and says,"Oh I understand, your clearly the lowest form of scum, and that was your last chance!"

Mother Brain then turns in to the group of Enji and charges all the power she as in to her left hand as she says,"Infernal bug, you made your last mistake!"

With that she fires a massive red energy flare from her remaining hand, but is shocked to see the Mega level Digimon 's new speed, as in a instant he is in front of his comrades, and holds out his free hand and a gold and purple shield materializes to protect everyone!

He then glares at Mother Brain and says," No, that was your biggest and last screw up brainaic! "

With that his shield turns in to a beam pincer, and in a second he is right in front of Mother brain and before she can even reposition her eye he clamps tightly in to her left leg, and with one arm he not only throws her right through the ceiling, but with such force that her leg is torn off!

As his energy incinerates the torn limb he looks up to see her still being hurled upward and says," For being a giant brain you're a moron, other wise you would not underestimate the power of bounds us friends have! The desire to look out for each other, and to get on home in one piece to have more good times, is more then a good enough drive to make sure we will not let any of you freaks win!"

Mother Brain is still being hurled through more and more roofs as she looks back on her opponent and glares madly at Shinryudramon while saying,"Cursed mistake, you will pay for this! No one can defy us, Xiza can not be stopped!"

Shinryudramon just chuckles as his shield now transforms in to a cannon, and as it gathers up power he says,"Blah blah, your boss Xiza will be the one shaking in his boots when he hears this!

Hey Xiza, here is how scared me and the boss are of you!

Infinite Exia Ray!"

With this Shinryudramon fires of a massive platinum and white energy beam that blasts chucks of the ground off around him just from its impact! The blast heads right in to Mother Brain, and consumes her! One of Samus's biggest foes gives out one more ear shattering scream, before every cell of it is destroyed! As the blast goes on a little further before unleashing a explosion that rocks the ship, Ben says,"

Wow Shinryudramon! Great job putting that brain freak in its place the hard way! "

Shinryudramon turns to Ben and nods before saying," My pleasure boss! After all, I am your partner right? "

Doug then adds a impressed," Heh, and you did a hell of a job reminding everyone that. I would pat you on the back, but I still can't move."

The humanoid dragon knight Digimon looks at them all before the emblem on his chest glows and he says," Ah, let me see if I can do something about that! "

He then fires two beams of light from his eyes, before they hit Ben and the others. While this shocked everyone, they find out they were pleasantly surprised because in a few moments everyone can move!

Bacchus then looks at his green robotic fingers and says,"Most impressive, it seems he was able to neutralize all the harmful particles from the gas with that one blast. "

James looks at Shinryudramon and throws out a analytical,"I must say, you truly have evolved far from when we first saw you yawning out of that egg that was being guarded by Doctor Robotnik 's robots. The power I am feeling from you now is nearly as large as Ben in his Bankai state, and with your new powers you truly are not a Digimon to be dealt with now. "

Shinryudramon just chuckles and says," Oh its no big deal, after all after training with you guys and the boss what did you expect? "

Ben laughs as he winds up his arm and stretches before patting his partner on the shoulder and saying,"

Heh, true enough. Still, glad you were able to come through when you did, although it seemed the Star Sword had some part to play in your reaching the mega level. But whatever."

Shinryudramon then says," Don't worry, I know what you mean boss. "

Cloud then says," All right, I don't mean to cut your victory short, but we still have a lot to do. Samus is most likely in big trouble now with Ridley having her in his clutches."

Ben then says," You have enough energy to keep up this form? I think we are going to need everything we got. "

The Digimon nods and says,"It's a little funny not having a tail, but I feel fine! Let's go, we still have a lot of creeps to finish off before we can eat!"

Ben grins and says," Right, so no time to rest yet. Home everyone else is doing fine and making progress, but, priorities first. Hang on Samus, we are coming!"

With that everyone dashes at full speed to the hole Ridley Ultima slammed Samus through with Shinryudramon leading the way! However, as they see many more holes down a long path and burst down it to make sure they are not too late to save there friend, we briefly turn are view once more to the battle that needs finishing above! We now rewind a little bit to just after Max got Alejandro's attention set all on him so that Ben and the others could go off.

And we now return to his fight with the Alvatore!

---

While Max has not been able to defeat the Titan's mobile armor yet, he still seems to be the one in charge of the fight, since no matter what attack is thrown his way by the massive golden mobile armor, Max either eludes it or stops it without any difficulty, which is causing his foe to lose more and more of his composer!

We now see the Alvatore try to finish off Max with another blast from its main particle cannon, however Max just looks annoyed as he has his magical energy explodes, and his energy flows in to his hand, before he karate chops the blast up, and through the artificial sky!

The blast blows a hole as it goes through, and then goes on to exploded in space! However before the air in the city can be compromised a new dome closes over the area, and Max says," Ready to give up yet? All you're doing is causing a mess, because to be blunt, you have no chance of stopping me. And since I have bigger fish to fry so if you have any desire to live, get lost! "

This angers the Titan's member, and in a rage he fires all the weapons he can at Max and charges at Max at full speed with his claw ready to try and impale Ben's cousin as he says," You pathetic clown! You really think you can change fate? You're nothing, nothing but a stray dog who has been cast aside by everyone! You should just expect your destiny, and die!"

Max defects everything thrown his way, and he puts both hands on his sword, and says,"

Even someone, who has lost everything, still has his pride! And I won't die, till I drag everyone to hell who got out of line ahead of me first! Blazing Judgment! "

With that Max empowers his sword, and slices right through the other hand of the Alvatore , before going right through the center of the mobile armor! As he lands on the other side of his opponent he says," Now, you wasted enough of my time, so GET LOST!"

With that he fires a powerful blue energy blast from his free hand, consuming the mobile armor in another explosion! Max then looks around, sensing the moving power levels and says," Well, it seems the others are moving up, but still no way to know if they found Xiza. One of the power levels surged, right where Ben was. Bah, he always seems to have that luck. What a drag, but I better move fast to make sure he dose not mess this up.

Xiza is mine, he has to answer to me for all the things he has done to me, and everyone else he killed in his business plan! And the right to see him die is mine, no one else's! "

All of a sudden he hears a noise, before form the smoke he sees a massive golden energy blast hit him in the face! As another explosion forms, a laugh is heard, and Alejandro appears, inside the golden winged mobile suit that was stored inside the Alvatore, his back up mobile suit the Alvaaron! He fly's above the smoke and says,"

Your right? Sorry Max Bruder, you only have the right to die! Fool, you all ready are useless to the stage, if you won't exit gracefully you will just have to be swept of as dust! Hahahaha! Now, time to finish off the rest of the Enji.

While I did not expect the Alvatore to be destroyed, but I can still finish them if I attack them before they even notice! Now, promotion to the new era, here I come! Huh, what the, NO!"

He sees the smoke in front of him get blown away, by Max's surging magic aura! Max is now very annoyed, and extends his free hand at the Alvaaron as he says,"

Hey, Alejandro right? Word of advice, when you're trying to kill someone with a surprise attack, make sure it kills him! And you want to know something else? The only thing worse then a stray dog, is a gutless poodle! School, of the undefeated of the east! The ultimate, technique!" SEKIHA…TENKYOKEN! !"

With this his enemy charges at Max with his beam saber and says," No! I won't let you stop me from being chosen as a innovator for the new world! Ribbons said that I, GUH!"

Before he can reach Max the last thing he sees is Max's ultimate attack head right in to him, before he is instantly blasted apart along with the Alvvaron as Max's blast also blasts out of the ship! As the massive power Max unleashed caused the entire Dammerung to rattle Max just calmly lands back on the ground and puts his primary massive sword away before he says,"

If you can't act, don't try to play the role. Time to get moving before more Titan goons or Vector flunkies seeking a pay raise try and stop me further. Xiza! You can't get away this time! Nothing you do will save you, so show your self so we can all get on with this and you can just die all ready! Huh, what now?"

He hears a noise, before the elevator to the next section of the ship that he was about to step on glows red, before it's replaced with a different golden platform!

Max reacts with a amused,"What, you baiting me Xiza? Ha, how nice, you're saving us both some time. I hope you're not trying to frighten me, because not even Kira and Zannacross himself all at once can't stop me! Even if my body is blown to bits, ill avenge them all! Revenge, is the only thing that I have lived for years. I can't, let all of this hell I went through be for nothing, its all l lived for till now. Now, time to end this, once, and for all!"

With this Max slowly gets on the platform and with out delay it moves upward. As it dose, Max's suspicion is correct, and Xiza is watching him!

---

The green skinned demon lord in the cabinet is not at the least worried that Max is coming for him, in fact he seems delighted! As his monitor shows Max's fingers twitch he says," My Max, you really are anxious to try and kill me are you? It will be amusing to see you try, even if the outcome will not be what your yearning for. " Salzon then clears his throat and says," President Xiza, are you sure its wise to lead Xiza right to us? Huh? "

Xiza gives his minion a cold glare full of death and he says,"Your lack in faith in my power is getting very tiresome Salzon. He can not stop me, no one can stop me now. The other's struggles are just tonight's entertainment. Still, they continue to shine with increasing amounts of brilliance. "

A monitor shows Ben and the others racing forward, and closes up on Shinryudramon before showing a replay of him destroying Mother Brain. Xiza then says,"

It seems Ben Auro's Digimon partner responded to Ben's desire to stop evil, and evolved with the amount of light bring released form the Star Sword, and the Enji;s own heart. Its as Damonus noted, since rejecting Kira 's control, and his own darkness, it caused him to become even more in tune with the light. All the more reason I will kill him and his friends now before he can get a chance to bring out his full potential and put the resurrection of Emperor Zannacross in jeopardy. "

Salzon then says," However, with the destruction of Mother Brain, some of the systems might be effected. However the back up systems are all ready online so it should be little more then a few seconds delay of your plan. Speaking of that, we are closing in on the location of Halo. "

Xiza's eyes widen as he says," Spledend, soon no amount of light will be able to shine through the darkness I am about to unleash! Soon, the conversion of this universe in to a prefect hellish paradise of darkness will be complete. And when Chaos Zannacross Necron sees that it was I who contributed the most to his return, then I shawl take my rightful place as the chief disturber of those that live in his dominion!

He laughs , and he presses a button to show the object of his desire and a hologram of a ring appears in front of him. But its no ring, it's a weapon with more murderous potential then even the Death Star, Halo!

Xiza puts his hand through the image of the ring and he says,"Yes, and it will all be reached with this! At last all the parts of the puzzle are in my hands. And very soon I will put them all together and form my supreme victory! Ah, but first, lets see how the sideshows are wrapping up. "

He presses another button, to show a new screen of his most ruthless employ Ridley still having Samus in his grip and smashing her through wall after wall! He then says,"

Ah, I see Ridley is savoring the power of the new body I gave him, to take his time finishing Samus Aran off. I hope he does not get to excited, and finishes her off once and for all before Ben Auro and the others arrive. Ah, my dear Samus, you and Ridley have had such a bloody history. Besides Max, you were one of the most determined personal that tried to stop my operations, even if you were not aware of who was your true target.

However, you were always fated to die in failure the moment you took up the Chozo armor and became a bounty hunter in a futile effort to avenge your parents. Ah, but you will learn at last in death, the harsh reality of this cosmos. And that is that justice and courage will never change the cosmos, money, and uncompromising will, are always what wins out!"

---

As Xiza laughs again, we now briefly turn a closer view to the thrashing Ridley is giving Samus, right as Ridley throws Samus through a platform as she hits the ground hard! Samus has taken some serious damage from her nemesis brutal sneak attack, and she is hit so hard that her suit is sparking in some places!

She looks around, and sees that she is in a area similar to the place in Star Wars the Empire Strikes back, the place were Darth Vader and Luke dueled and Vader sliced of Luke's hand! She then looks right at Ridley and says," Damn you Ridley, no matter how low you go, ill never be defeated by you! I beat you time and again, and this time is no different! Ah!"

This comment just causes Ridley to extend his wings, and fires a barrage of energy blasts at Samus machine gun style! As he sees his long time pain get blasted he roars madly and says," Yes,YES! Squirm you worthless vermin, squirm as you at last see how helpless you truly are to this one's power!

Today will not end like are previous bouts, today the winner to are struggle will finally be Ridley, the great destroyer! "

With this Ridley charges up another attack, and Samus can barely stand, and the weight of this chapter can barely stand either, which is why today's chapter comes to a close! Can Samus endure the vengeful wrath of Ridley Ultima long enough for Ben and the others to arrive, so that they can find a way to shut down the top Space Pirate Enforcer for good? And even if they do will they find a way to stop Xiza? Only way to find out is to tune in to the Next chapter of tales of the Cosmic Wars!

In are next installment the showdown between Samus and Ridley commences. Ridley's new powers are so strong that nothing the bounty hunter throws at him seems to scratch him! And when he activates the power of the Curse Seal of the Necrocalcous crystal, he blasts Samus so hard he blasts her out of her power suit!

When he sees the true face of his arch enemy, he at last sees the true reason for Samus 's relentless pursuit of him and the space pirates, when she reminds him he killed his parents! This just edges Ridley on to finish the job, and Samus does all she can to survive, as Ben Shinryudramon and the others move as fast as they can to get to her! When they finally arrive, at last the true secret behind Ridley and his apparent ability to rise from the dead time and again is found out, and the final showdown commences! Meanwhile at the same time, Lacus Brad and there groups run in to Xiza's wacky Zinyu force, who are looking for promotions! But most importantly, Max at last reaches Xiza, and is ready to at last avenge his friends. However, while Max is burning with rage, he is stepping in to Xiza 's most wicked plot yet, and at last he reveals his true master plan! Can are hero's stop Ridley for good, and still have time to stop Xiza?

Only way to find out is to tune in to Chapter 107: Ridley 's Assault! Enforcing the end of the Nightmare!

And before we end today just a few Author's notes. I forgot to mention before, but if your not aware Bacchus is one of the hero's from the new Star ocean four game. Of course I altered a thing or two to fit him in to my story hehe. Second, if your not much of a Digimon fan and are confused I made Shinryudramon one of the 13 mega level elite royal knights. In Digimon they are some of the most powerful of all Digimon. Some of them are the most powerful good guys like Ominmon, Mangamon, Dukemon, Alphamon and more as well as some of the most powerful evil ones like Dynasmon and Crusadermon.

Also, in case you're wondering, yes, Halo is THE halo from the games. More on that later, but don't worry later means next chapter and the one after it heeh. Thanks for the reviews and like always hope to see more. Till next time!
