It was not long after the battle for Tiki that two more weddings took place under that tree. Robin and Chereche, as well as Henry and Tharja. It was not long after these wedding that they met two more offspring.

Severa, daughter of Cordelia, turned on a former Valmese General to remind a friend of hers about his family, breaking his allegiance. The heroes fought to protect the two and soon enough, Severa was with them.

"I thank all of you for protecting me. Especially you, mother." Severa said to Cordelia. "But the whole reason I came back was to see you, cause you chose to follow Chrom. Compared to Gerome, I have way more sense of who my mother is still."

"Gerome is Cherche's son. Hes… well... he came back to go to the Wyvern Valley." Lucina said.

"All he ever wanted after inheriting brave Minerva… was to set her free where she could roam." Owain said.

"Minerva?" Cherche said.

"Yes. You died in battle but Minerva returned to us. He came back with us only to release her into the wild since all the wyverns are dead in the future." Inigo said.

"That's terrible! We have to help him!" Cherche said.

The group traveled as quickly as possible before seeing Gerome himself facing down against a creature with a wing like cape and a laser sword.

"No way. Its him. The knight of Speed, UlforceVeedramon." Leopardmon said.

"Must….kill….all…..living creatures!" he shouted.

"Something's wrong with him." Dynasmon said.

"Look, on his neck! There's two bite marks on it!" Chopper shouted.

"I see. He's not turning, he's been infected." Crusadermon said.

"Infected? With what?" Happy asked.

"I think I know. The same phenomenon happened a long while ago on Flux's ship. When he began cloning troops, a lot of them turned against each other. All the infected soldiers had the same bite mark. This could be the work of the same perpetrator." Colonel said.

"In short, it's a virus that brings out a person's inner darkness." Shadowman said.

"Got just the thing." Sakura said pulling out a vial.

"Hey, isn't that.." Naruto asked.

"It's the antidote I used against Sasori's poison. It should work for him, but someone needs to inject it into him." Sakura said.

"That will be difficult considering his speed." Jesmon said.

"Hey, youre forgetting I'm on the team." Sonic said. He took the vial and dashed over to UlforceVeedramon. UlforceVeedramon quickly moved away before the injection could happen.

"Destroy...rat!" he said aiming his sword at Sonic.

"No way! Number Dice!" Mega Man said shooting a dice. "According to your data Number Man, that Dice will stun him if it lands on a number lower than 3." Mega Man said.

"Yes, but the odds for that are 33.333%" Number Man said.

"I'm willing to take that bet." Sonic said. The dice bounced off UlforceVeedramon and began to spin.

"Risking your life on a gamble? Just what sort of creature are you?" Gerome said.

"I'm Mega Man. A hero." Mega Man said as the dice landed on a 2 , stunning the knight instantly.

"Yes! Time for your shot, UlforceVeedramon!" Sonic said as he jabbed the vial into him, curing him instantly. UlforceVeedramon then collapsed onto the ground below. He then woke up to see the heroes and knights.

"Where...am I?" he asked.

"You're in the Wyvern Valley. Do you remember what happened?" Leopardmon asked him.

"I remember traveling the roads at night. Then, I encountered some sort of creature. I believe it's what you humans might refer to as...a vampire." UlforceVeedramon said.

"A vampire?" Hope asked.

"Yes. I tried to attack him, but he was too fast. He whispered something into my ear. "I can't have those heroes ruining my plans so soon. Especially now that my Gospel distraction is gone for good." he said before he bit into my neck and infected me."

"Dont know who that is, but hes asking for it." Sonic said.

"A vampire like creature. It sounds familiar, but I can't quite remember it." Shadow Man said.

Rainbow Dash then walked up to Gerome.

"You got something to say? Stay your words, you know this has to be done." Gerome stated.

"Man, Batman's got nothing on you." Rainbow said. "Anyway… we came to get you to join the shepherds."

"But, fighting is not on the agenda. I only came to release Minerva back into the wild." Gerome said.

"Is that really how you want this to end? You got a chance to change the future, into something that actually matters. You have a chance to make things right for the better. For you and Minerva." Rainbow said.

"She's right son. If you do want to release her, at least do it in a future where she can prosper fully." Cherche said.

Gerome looked at his Minerva, then thought of the fate in his hands. "Yes. You're right. I need to at least make the future worth living first. For both me and Minerva." Gerome said.

"The more of us we join together, the more we can see that the future is worth fighting for." Chrom said. "But we can only make it possible if we all fight as one."

The targeted fortress of today's fight was in sight, as the companies were at the door, which was immediately busted down by Natsu.

"Knock Knock, anybody home?" Natsu asked.

"What the hell? Where did they come from?" asked a soldier as they quickly got into battle.

"Not gonna let you chumps win so easily. Fire Dragon's Roar!" he shouted, burning up the soldiers coming at them.

"Let me in on that!" Nowi said Transforming. Her dragon's fire was more potent, blasting a thorough hole through the wall of the stronghold.

"Go,go, go!" Hope said charging in with the others. They engaged the others and expected reinforcements from the resistance to arrive shortly.

"Is it me, or is this just getting easier for us?" Kirito said as he cut down a soldier. "I mean, how are these guys ever a threat?"

"We'll block the stairs so reinforcements don't come." Gray said as he and Seiya moved to the staircase. To their surprise later, the reinforcements were turncoats that used the underground just to ensure safety and security.

"Heads up! We got Turncoats coming from below!" Gray shouted as he iced the stairs to make things a little more difficult.

"Blast. Why are our allies after us like this?" Say'ri said.

"Uh, I think I might have an idea." Seiya said pointing to their necks showing the same sort of bite marks.

"Okay, this vamp better show itself!" Natsu shouted.

"Would you be referring to me?" said a voice. The group turned to see a robotic creature with a vampire like appearance and long claws.

"Of course. It was you. ShadeMan." Shadow Man said.

"Hmm. So you're alive. Something I was not expecting." Shade Man said.

"Scanning new robot master. What? Weapon Scan error?" Megaman said.

"Sorry, but your scan won't work on me." Shade Man said. "I have a much better firewall system than the other models."

"They aren't protected from direct contact. Megaman's copy system can also work by touching a robot master." Hope said.

"Yes. Or rather he did before he was reconfigured." Shade Man said.

"What? Megaman was tampered with?"

"You still haven't figured it out? Tell me, how do you think it's possible for all of us to be alive as well as some of us having all new appearances?" Shade Man asked Mega man.

"Of course. They aren't the same robot masters. They're newer models." Hope said.

"Quite right. All of the robots from our home world have been long since dead except for four: Mega Man, Proto Man, Roll and Bass." Shade Man said. "You four have been in a long sleep. Or rather that's what Flux's research notes says about us."

"I was shut down after my final battle with wily, I have no clue what's happened since." Mega Man said.

"Well, allow me to fill you in on that. We've been absent from the action for 50 years now." Shade Man said. "All of the robot masters were sold for scrap, and Dr. Light and Dr. Wily ...well, I think you can piece that together for yourself."

"No… Dr. Light is… dead?"

"Yes. As is Wily. A catastrophe occurred on that world, completely annihilating it. The only things that survived were you four and the blueprints and memory cores for the original robot masters." Shade Man said. "Flux found all of this just floating in space. He then began reconstructing us into newer and better models. He knew about you, so he chose to abandon you on Termina. As for Proto Man, he reconfigured him, but the robot escaped before Flux could tamper with the memories. The only ones he still has on the ship is Roll and Bass."

"It's… It's all coming back to me. The Roboenza Virus turned into a massive kill command for a lot of robots. They sealed us up to protect us." Mega Man said. "But the virus got to the main core of our world and…. it died."

"Yes. But I take this as a new opportunity. With new bodies and free will, we are free to do as much as we please." Shade Man said. "And new abilities to boot. Like making a person turn with just a bite. Like with those soldiers...and FreezeMan. It's hopeless, Mega. This time, you are beaten."

"No. If I'm upgraded, then that means all of the data I took was updated too. Which means… I can take my body and programming even further." Mega man said.

"Don't you see? It's pointless to go after each other. So join me, Mega. I've been putting together a new organization to replace Gospel. We can rule these worlds together." Shade Man said.

"Yes. I remember now. When the seven of us were on Flux's ship. I remember a voice. It was your voice." Shadow Man said.

"What do you mean?" Knight Man asked.

"Shade Man's the reason we formed Gospel. He infected us with that virus!" Shadow Man shouted.

Mega man then took a risk that no one saw coming. "Activating update program. Downloading new Weapon versions and armor upgrade. Mega Man MK 2, commencing." he shouted.

A blue light then flashed as lines of code surrounded Megaman and began transforming. He grew taller, armor becoming more aligned around his body with a new helment. His copied weapons were stronger, and he felt this was a gift.

"Download complete. Weapon output, maximum. You guys are now looking at the new Megaman and I'm even more ready for battle." He said firing his arm gun as Shade Man. He only managed to take out his left arm.

"Damn. Well, it appears there's no turning you. I'll go but know this. The worlds are ever changing and you will realize how big a mistake it was to ignore my offer." Shade Man said as he flew out the window.

"Back to the battle. Lets see your copied weapon upgrades." Luffy said in excitement

"You got it. Viper Rocket!" Mega Man shouted as a larger snake projectile came out and hit the soldiers at the bottom of the stairs, knocking them all out.

"Not done yet! Fire Fist!" Mega Man shouted as a fist of flames took out the remaining soldiers left over.

"And now for the corrupted resistance. Wonder what Serenades data does? Saint Light!"

A large light shined on the soldiers as the bite marks vanished as a dark essence left each of their bodies.

"A healing weapon? Guess Serenade isnt so bad." Aileta said.

"No. She was designed to be a medical bot in order to heal injured soldiers." Colonel said.

"It is good to be free. But I bring dire news. All our forces were wiped out by Emperor Walhart by the thousands."

"Walhart." Basilio said. "I wasn't expecting him to be here."

"Walhart is the current emperor of Valm itself and therefore leader of its armies." Sir Robin said.

"Basilio, you need to split off from us and stop him. Dont care what you have to do, just keep him from getting to us! We have no idea how strong he is."

"Got it. In case I dont make it back, take this." Basilio said handing a gem to them.

"This is Gules, you had it the whole time?" Flavia asked.

"There's a good chance I will not return from this fight. Its best if the stone were in dependable hands." Basilio said before departing.

"We got to honor his decision, so lets keep moving." Chrom said as the group continued forward, never looking back once.
