"So Wisdom wants to meet us. I can already tell this is gonna go south…" Kazuichi said.

"Let's just see how this plays out first." Orchid said.

"Wait...I hear something." Batzz said as they ran out over to a large steel door. Upon opening it, they saw row after row of monsters inside capsules.

"Oh dear god…" Philia said as she put her hands over her mouth.

"What on earth are we seeing?" Sectonia asked.

"Wisdom's plan...to chaosify all the monsters of all the worlds and make them obedient." Gao said.

"That's right." A voice said as the group turned around to see a man in a suit with green hair. "You can do many things with powerful monsters." He said pressing a button as the monsters returned to card form and stacked into his hand.

"Who are you?" Jalter asked.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Grimoire, I am Master Wisdom's secretary." He said.

"Grimoire got a job as a secretary? That's something." Kagura said.

"No, not that Grimoire." David said.

"Now...if you will follow me….Master Wisdom is expecting all of you." Grimoire said.

"I've got a bad feeling about this." Zero said. "Be ready for anything, everyone."

"It's fine...I want to talk with Wisdom anyway." Gao said.

The group soon arrived in a large dining room as Wisdom sat at the end of the table. "Welcome, one and all. I am glad to have you with me tonight."

"Wisdom…" Ace said.

"We came here to fight." Gao said.

"More accurately, to Destroy! I'm gonna blow him and that Gearhead away!" Batzz said.

"Hang on." Gao said.

"Second thoughts, kid?" Batzz asked.

"Not at all. But I wanted to talk with Wisdom face to face for awhile. And since Mime's here, I figured he could join us too." Gao said as he, Ace, David, Jexi and Hope sat down.

"What is it that you wanted to discuss us with, Wisdom?" Ace asked.

"Ace, I wanted to ask them both something." Gao said. "Why do you both keep doing the things you do? Why give yourselves both bad names?"

"You heard the kid, answer his question, the both of you." Batzz said jumping up on the table and sitting down.

"Wait...where is Mime?" Hope asked.

"He isn't here. He's busy elsewhere." Wisdom said.

"But what do you have against buddyfight? And why work with someone like Mime who wants nothing but revenge on one of my friends?" Gao asked.

"As you've come to learn about me, I want nothing more than to upgrade this world. In time, you, your heroic friends, and the entire Beast Universe will come to Appreciate the amazing things we are doing." Wisdom said.

"But you're missing the biggest point. Buddyfight is about people and monsters living together in harmony. It's not something used to exploit discrimination." David said.

"Yes, we Buddyfight so that the bonds with our monsters grow stronger." Ace said. "But why Chaosify people?"

"It wasn't my idea to do that." Wisdom said. "Nor was it my doing. It was Mime's associate, Tin. He revolutionized my process to chaosify humans. This results in Cyborg buddyfighters that bend to anyone's will. The wild boy was the first test of such a milestone. Even though the attack failed, I must say, I admit I am quite interested in his process. He created an obedient soldier who excelled at buddyfight."

"But it made him lose his free will, until I managed to reverse the process." Ace said.

"The Wisdom clan has made great strides since the past. My family's goal was to develop the technology for chaosification for a very long time. With it, we shall create a utopia on all worlds. And the ruler of these utopias...is Geargod." Wisdom said.

"Sorry, but we're not just gonna stand by and let that happen." Ace said.

"I agree with Ace. I've seen my world get ravaged to the ground by one person's insanity once. I can't bear to see that happen to it again. I'd rather die!" David said.

"We're going to stop you, and Mime. You can't convince us that your way is right. You may look like a respectable man to the people, but the truth is, you're nuts." Hope said.

"Petty name calling. Well...if you all are going to act like this...then the only way to settle this is with a buddyfight between me and Gao. The winner can brag about which of these philosophies are right." Wisdom said.

"You're on!" Gao said. "Everyone, I'm sorry. But you're gonna have to leave Wisdom to me again."

"We understand." David said.

"Just be safe alright?" Ace said.

It wasn't long before the group was escorted to a private viewing room as Gao and Wisdom entered a futuristic fighting stage.

"Gao's gonna win. No doubt in my mind. He's not the same person that fought Wisdom before." Hope said.

"Rumble and tremble! The dragon's roar that shudders the earth! Luminize! Thunderous Warlords Alliance!" Gao shouted.

"Superior is a world governed by Chaos! By the authority vested in me, I rule the world of man! Luminize, Transcendent of Havoc!" Wisdom said.

"Raise the flag!" the two said.

"Thunder Emperor's Fangs!" Gao said.

"The Chaos!" Wisdom said.

"I'll start first!" Gao said. "Charge and Draw! I equip Arc Dragon Sword, Dracross and attack!"

10-8

"My turn. Draw. Charge and Draw!" Wisdom said. "Buddy call to the center! Ruler of CHAOS, Geargod VII! Then...I cast Chaotic Pain, sending the top three cards of my deck to the drop zone and increasing my gauge by 3. Then, I call CHAOS Osiris to the left. I also use Geargod's ability to call CHAOS Valvaros to the right. With his ability...I look at the top 5 cards of my deck and return them to my deck in any order I choose. I also draw a card and call one monster from my hand. Call CHAOS Gilquine to the center. With Gilquine's effect will give me one life and let me draw one card."

8-9

"As usual, he's set up a tight formation." Hope said.

"Now...witness the true power of the Chaos. Osiris...attack the fighter!" Wisdom said.

10-9

"Now attack Gilquine." Wisdom said.

9-7

"It's your turn Valvaros!" Wisdom said.

"Cast! Thunder Emperors Dragon Shield!" Gao said.

"Attack, Geargod!" Wisdom shouted.

"No, I cast! Thunder Emperor's Dragon Shield!" Gao said blocking again.

"I expected as much. But...unless you can best Geargod...I won't fall." Wisdom said.

"I can't get rid of him because he can use your monsters as shields. But… I have something that will change that! Draw! Charge and Draw!" Gao said. "I cast! Demon Lord's Roaring Dragon Blast! With this...I destroy all monsters on the opponent's field and with each one gone...I draw a card!" Gao said as the card destroyed Osiris, Valvaros and Gilquine.

"Yes!" Hope said. "But Geargod is still on the field."

"Apparently the Chaos's ability is that all Size 30 or up monsters can't be destroyed by effects." Tails said.

"I call Saint Holy Sword Dragon to the right! And then call Thunder Preacher, Inazumack to the left! Now...Chibi Panda, attack Geargod!" Gao said as SHSD clashed with Geargod before slaying it.

"He did it!" Lacy said.

"Wisdom isn't done." David said. "I know what's coming next."

"Now...I call…. Proto Chaos Machina, Geargod VIII!" Wisdom said as Geargod VIII appeared. "With his power, I call from the drop zone Valvaros to the center! I call CHAOS Osiris to the right and then...prepare for my worst."

"Chibi...double attack on Geargod VIII!" Gao said.

"Chaos Drain! Use Osiris as your shield!" Wisdom said as Osiris was destroyed instead.

"We've...had….enough!" Gao shouted as he slashed through Geargod VIII, destroying it. "With that...my turn is over."

"Well done...I never thought you would defeat Geargod VIII. Now its my turn. Draw, charge and draw. I call CHAOS Osiris to the left and then call CHAOS Zoruaga to the right. Hehehehehahaha!" Wisdom laughed.

"He's done it. You've made Master Wisdom's desire a reality...and you didn't even realize it." Grimoire said.

"Ugh, now what?" Hope said.

"Barlbatzz Dragoroyale the first… I no longer have need of your power. I call to the center!

A being that has transcended the power of CHAOS! An autodeity that has no equal! I call….Chaos Transendant, Geargod 99!" Wisdom said.

"Geargod 99?!" Hope asked as a larger version of Geargod appeared. It had two eyes, a longer chassis, and two large arms alongside its usual four.

"These stats! No way….its….size 90?!" Tails said.

"This thing's power level is off the charts! I can barely get a read on it!" Mari said.

"Behold our deity." Grimoire said.

"Soon, Gao Mikado, you will be utterly defeated by Geargod 99. But for now… CHAOS Osiris, attack the fighter!" Wisdom said.

7-6

"You're up next, Valvaros!" Wisdom said.

6-3

"Zoruaga's effect now kicks in. When a center monster's attack goes through, said monster gains double attack!" Wisdom said. "Valvaros attacks again!"

"Cast! Thunder Emperor's Dragon Shield!" Gao said.

"Geargod 99...attack the fighter!" Wisdom said.

"Confirmed. Attack Gao Mikado!" Geargod said.

"I cast! Thunderbolt Marked Urn!" Gao said.

"Attack again!" Wisdom said.

"I cast! Thunderbolt Marked Urn!" Gao said.

"Zoruaga...dispose of Saint Holy Sword Dragon!" Wisdom said as Zoruaga destroyed SHSD.

End of move.

"I won't let you win! Draw! Charge and...Draw!" Gao said. "Buddycall….Thunder Emperor, Barlbatzz to the right!" Gao said.

"About time I got in on this!" Batzz said entering.

"Let me clear the way!" Gao said as he slayed both Osiris and Zoruaga.

"You're mine, metalhead!" Batzz said.

"I cast! CHAOS Wall, Barrier of Havoc!" Wisdom said blocking.

"My double attack...I go again!" Batzz said.

"Chaos Drain! Use Valvaros as your shield." Wisdom said as Batzz destroyed Valvaros instead.

"No choice now...it's time! Thunder Emperor….Barlbatzz...Overturn!" Gao shouted as Inazumack attacked Geargod but it did nothing. "All of us can now attack one more time!"

"I'll smash him to bits!" Batzz said charging.

"You all should know...with Geargod's new form...it has gained a power you might know well...CHAOS Transcendant … Geargod 99….OVERKILL!" Wisdom shouted. "By discarding one hand card...I can call three CHAOS monsters from the drop zone at 0 cost."

"Special Code: Overkill. Calling CHAOS Valvaros to center, calling CHAOS Zoruaga to right, calling CHAOS Gilquine to the left." Geargod said.

"And there's more...if an opponent's made up to six attacks...I can force their turn to end." Wisdom said.

"You gotta be joking!" Hope said.

"Damn cheater!" Al said.

"My victory cannot be denied! Geargod 99...attack the fighter!" Wisdom said.

Within the stand, an alarm was soon going off.

"What's happening?" Mari asked.

"Something's happening to Geargod." Grimoire said.

"What is the matter with you?" Wisdom shouted at Geargod who did nothing. "Attack!"

"Ye-..Yes...Wi...Wisdom. Gao...Mikado...Delete!" Geargod said striking Gao.

4-1

"Delete! Delete!" Geargod said striking again.

1-0

Game over! Winner: Wisdom.

"Delete...delete…" Geargod said sparking.

"It looks as if Geargod's...malfunctioning!" X said.

"This isn't good!" Hope said.

"Delete… delete!" Geargod said blasting a hole in the roof and flying out.

"It blew the roof off!" Scott gawked.

"Delete….everything!" Geargod said firing randomly.

"We need to go after it! If it reaches the city, innocent people will get hurt!" X said.

"Seems I'll have to help after all." Elementa said. "Element Magic: Steel. Giant Steel Pillar!" She said touching the ground as the metal floor they stood on quickly rose into the air.

"Whoa! This is awesome!" Rainbow said.

"Maverick Hunters...think you guys can try to keep Geargod at bay from leaving the island?" Hope asked.

"Roger! Zero, Axl, let's go!" X said.

"Wait! Zero, Axl, take these." Mari said as she handed them small packs. "I'm sure they'll come in handy."

"Thanks Mari." Axl said before all three of them tapped a device as three hover bikes flew up to them as they hopped on and took off.

(Cue- Dynasty- Megaman X8)

"Master X...be careful." Harpuia muttered.

"Delete...Delete…" Geargod repeated as it fired punch after punch across the island.

"There it is! We're gonna have to shut it down as soon as possible! Axl, Zero, create a diversion and I'll fire a charged shot at its core." X said.

"Okay!" Zero said. "Time to see what other tricks Mari gave me." He said as he pulled out a beam Naginata. "...! My D Glaive! Nice!"

"Mari must've repaired it when she heard it wasn't part of your systems. She did the same with me, I've got my old guns as well." Axl said as he took out a ray gun.

"Let's hope we haven't gotten rusty!" Zero said spinning his D Glaive. "Block this one! Raikousen!" He yelled as he dashed and disappeared before appearing in front of Geargod as he left a trail of electricity.

"Delete! Target, Zero!" Geargod said missing Zero.

"Hey, over here!" Axl said aiming his Ray Gun as he fired a rapid barrage of piercing lasers at Geargod. While each one hit Geargod, none seemed to have any effect on its body.

"Target, Axl! Delete!" Geargod said.

"Let's see how you like this one!" He said as he took out a grenade launcher of some kind and took aim and launched a torpedo and knocked off its back plate.

"Damage taken...beginning automatic repair." Geargod said as the plate reattached itself.

"X! Tell me you're in position!" Zero said.

"I am. Stand Clear!" X said.

"Move it, Axl!" Zero said as he and Axl moved out of the way as Geargod was wide open. "Now X! Fire!"

"Here we go!" X yelled as he fired a fully charged buster laser right at Geargod. It hit Geargod's core...but instead of damaging Geargod, it absorbed the shot. Geargod slumped for a moment before raising its head.

"Your attacks...are nothing but futile." Geargod said.

"It...it spoke in a complete sentence." Axl said.

"Through the power of Megaman X...my core has absorbed its power...and I have gained what humans and others call sentience." Geargod said. "The upgraded AI Wisdom installed in me possessed a soul. Thanks to you, Megaman X, it has awakened."

"Damn!" X said.

"Indeed. Now...it has initiated." Geargod said. "For the first time in my existence, I now know what happiness feels like and casting all other beings of the worlds into eternal darkness will make me incredibly happy indeed." Geargod said as he started laughing.

"Maverick Scum! You're just as worse as Sigma!" X said.

"You are incorrect. Though I operate to Chaosify monsters the same way the Sigma Virus creates mavericks, I am no Maverick. I am an autodeity...I am Geargod. But in order to fulfill my desires...I need a perfect buddy...and I cannot succeed that with Wisdom." Geargod said as a portal appeared above it as it started flying up.

"Damn it! Everyone, do you want us to chase after him?" X asked.

"No, do not give chase. We've secured a boat. Get in with us. We're leaving." Jexi said.

"Understood." X said as he, Zero, and Axl flew towards the boat as they jumped off the bikes and landed. "We're sorry everyone, we didn't expect for something like this to happen."

"It's not your fault. Neither of us could have expected this. But that still doesn't change facts...Geargod's now a sentient being." Miles said.

"Any ideas on how to stop him?" Zero asked.

"We can't go after him. He said something about finding the perfect buddy. He'll be back, and we need to be ready for when he does find this 'Perfect' buddy." Hope said.

"Hope's right. For now let's return to the ship." Ace said.

"Where's Wisdom and Grimoire?" Axl asked.

"Probably still back at Chaos Company. But I bet they're just as surprised as we are…" Tails said.

Back with Wisdom and Grimoire…

"Geargod Rebelled… and it now is sentient? How can this be possible?" Wisdom asked. "It should have been impossible."

With Mime…

"My...seems a lot of interesting things have happened. Now I regret being there." Mime said. "As for Geargod...he might end up a wrench in my plans. Tigre!"

"Yes, master Mime?" Tigre asked.

"Your tracking and hunting skills have never failed to cease to amaze me. Therefore...I want you to go after Geargod." Mime said.

"Understood, master." Tigre said.

And with Geargod 99…

"The perfect buddy must replicate my desires in all forms. Therefore… the perfect buddyfighter can only be…" Geargod said, creating a robotic version of….Gao Mikado. "Replication complete. Be born….CHAOS Gao."
