Ara

N-Zero ran into the central control room. She looked around enraged, wanting to see Issac, wanting to finally see him face to face.

"Issac!" N-Zero shouted, "Where are you? Stop hiding and face me!"

"I'm not hiding," Issac said behind N-Zero, "I'm right here."

N-Zero turned around and pointed her Z-Saber at him, "Wave Change right now!"

"So we can fight? I'm afraid that won't settle anything. Besides, Earth's savior can't engage in actions of violence himself. Why, I'm not even going to pull the switch," Issac walked past N-Zero and looked up at the red crystal near the ceiling, "This whole building is the Ara. With this weapon we'll finally be rid of the threat that is Planet FM."

"Why do you want to destroy the planet that badly?" Xerox asked, "This can't just be out of the goodness of your heart."

"Oh, and why do you say that?" Issac asked Xerox.

"Please. You're willing to use people, to cause large incidents, and even gain control of an ancient weapon. No human is willing to go that far for the entire planet unless they have a personal vendetta themselves," Xerox stated.

"For an alien, you seem to have quite an opinion," Issac said, "But your friend is right Zero, there is another reason for my actions," Issac sighed, "Four years ago, Planet FM attacked. My daughter was on a train when the one named Gemini took over the train. Mega Man had no way of knowing, and we were in Netopia at the time. My daughter was one of twenty casualties on that train. Ever since then I wanted revenge against Planet FM. When they came back, I saw my chance to finally rid the world of their menace," Issac turned to N-Zero, "Is that so wrong? To want retribution for my daughter?"

N-Zero looked down angrily, her whole body shaking, "So everything was just so you could get revenge? The school, the concert? All of it was for you and your revenge?" N-Zero looked in Issac's eyes, "What about Kitty? She died because of your revenge! Was that, along with me becoming her friend, all apart of your plan?"

"But of course," Issac said walking up a large flight of stairs going up to the red crystal, "It's as I told Ryan and Ariel, in war there will be casualties. They were all prepared to die for my cause."

"But Kitty didn't die for your revenge! She died for me! For her best friend! Does that mean anything to you, or was she really just your tool?"

"Kitty Munroe was anything but my tool. None of this would have been possible without her, and I truly value everything she did for me. She kept you busy while High Max gathered the information on the Nightmare Virus for me, with her being so close to your human form she was able to stay near any incident when you appeared, she was my most useful soldier. I am sad that she is gone, but unlike you I'm not going to cry a river for the death of a soldier."

"She didn't die... as a soldier..." N-Zero said, apparently holding a lot of anger in, "She died as my friend! You want retribution for your daughter? Well I want retribution for Kitty!" N-Zero began crying a bit, tears of rage, "She went through hell and back, and all you did was add to her hell, make her think she wasn't worth anything else but a puppet! You're just as bad as Planet FM, if not worse!"

"Sometimes in order to destroy a monster you must become a monster!" Issac said spreading his arms out, "So yes, I may be just as awful as Planet FM, but when the threat is gone from our galaxy then we'll let the world decide who the bigger monster is!" Issac held up his Hunter VG "Transcode 111! Crux!" Issac began glowing, "If it's I fight you want, then you'll have to fight my chosen knight! My time in this world as a human is up!" Issac then turned into a white glowing cross, and flew up into the red crystal.

"ISSAC!" N-Zero said activating two Gatling Gun Battle Cards, and fired at the crystal, only to have the shots be stopped by an invisible barrier.

The back door opened and N-Zero saw the silhouette of a woman in a gown walking out to her. When the person completely stepped out both N-Zero and Xerox were shocked by who walked out.

"Val?" they asked in unison as Princess Elpizo walked out.

"It's good to see you Luna, and you two Xerox," Elpizo said with a sort of evil smile.

"Ace and everyone has been looking for you!" N-Zero said, "What happened to you?"

"After loosing against the leader of the Four Guardians I realized that my power alone couldn't stop Planet FM, and everyone in the Satella Police showed me that I couldn't rely solely on them. With nowhere else to turn to I looked for someone who shared my sentiments against Planet FM, and I finally found it, in Neo Arcadia!"

"What did you say?" N-Zero asked. Elpizo then pushed a button trapping N-Zero in a glass capsule.

"Now it's time for you to play your part in this little ordeal!" Elpizo said walking up to the main controls, "Planet FM is falling into position! Just a few more seconds and Master Issac's dream, my dream will be fulfilled!" N-Zero was banging against the glass while Elpizo talked.

"Val! Stop! You don't know what your doing!" N-Zero shouted.

"I know exactly what I'm doing!" Elpizo shouted, "Fire the Ara in five... four... three... two... one!"

"NO!" N-Zero and Xerox shouted in unison. A wave ran through the capsule, extracting the Nightmare Virus from N-Zero, turning her back into normal Zero. The Nightmare Virus flew into the red crystal, which rose up into the ceiling.

Outside, what looked like a laser cannon came out of the top of the temple. It pointed at the sky, and began charging for a few seconds. It then shot a large white laser into the sky, through space, and through the galaxy. A blue orb of light was floating over the temple watching the entire ordeal. It floated into the temple.

Inside the main control room, the glass capsule came up releasing Zero. Elpizo was looking up at the ceiling with a peaceful smile on her face.

"I've done it!" Elpizo said laughing, "I've attacked Planet FM!"

"You've just doomed... the entire planet!" Zero shouted getting up, "You don't know how strong Planet FM is! Earth won't sustain an attack against Planet FM if Aries goes all out! And that laser didn't destroy the entire planet!"

"She's right." Geo's voice said. The blue orb came down and the hologram of Geo appeared, "All Planet FM will experience is a few tremors, nothing more. While the Earth isn't doomed, your actions have clearly put the planet in jeopardy."

"None of that matters to me anymore. I'm after one thing now," Elpizo said, suddenly pointing her fencing sword at Zero, "Revenge against the one who stole my name!"

Zero was surprised hearing that, "Your name? You don't mean?"

"You parents named you Luna, right? Haven't you ever wondered why your hair is blond, but theirs is red and black?"

"They told me earlier today that I was adopted. They said that their daughter was separated..." Zero then realized who Val was, and the realization shocked her.

"Yes, they were separated from their biological daughter, but they didn't even bother looking for her! So instead she was found and taken care of by a rich family in Den-Tech City!"

"You don't mean...?" Zero asked, hoping that this was a dream.

"That's right Zero! The family's name was Sanders! My last name! I'm sure you know what that means."

And Zero did know what it meant. It meant that all this time, Val had been trying to get close to her just so she could get to this moment, the moment she could get revenge on the person who stole her name.

Valerie Sander's real name... was Luna Platz...

"Today isn't just the day I show Planet FM who I am, but the day I get my revenge on you! I'll make sure the name dies along with you!"

"Geo," Zero said, "This is what you meant that day, when you said a friend today may be an enemy tomorrow, right?"

"I wanted to tell you, but I had to choose my words. I'm sorry Prez."

"It's alright. I've fought a lot of Wave Battles, and some of them the stakes were higher. If defeating her is what I have to do to defend my name, then this is just another Wave Battle!" Zero said activating her Z-Saber, "The name Luna Platz is the only one I have, so I'll defend it with my life! Xerox, let's go!"

"Right!" Xerox responded. As Zero and Elpizo charged at each other, Zero shouted...

"Wave Battle! Action!"
