Mega Man Zero Omega
Chapter 3
Rebel Harpuia
When Zero returned to base he suddenly felt a tremendous surge of energy. He collapsed to his knees. The surge was overwhelming him. The area around him began to glow.
"Arrrgh!" Zero cried out in agony.
The light flared brightly and surged. Zero gasped in pain as the currents flowed through his body.
The light exploded outward and blinded everyone around him. Zero let out a final cry of pain before the light dimmed and vanished.
Zero slowly stood and as he did he noticed something was different about him. He looked at his armor and it was giving off a brilliant crimson glow.
"What is that?" Colbor asked in both awe and confusion.
"The Ultimate form." Iris said reverently.

"Harpuia, we need you to investigate the Aegis Volcano Region." Ciel said as the Green Reploid approached.
"You are willing to trust me just like that?" Harpuia asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am." Ciel nodded.
"Then I hope that the trust in me is not misplaced. I will investigate the area."
Harpuia nodded and transferred to the Aegis Volcano.

Omega-1 awoke slowly. He had let his guard down in his rage. This meant that Alpha had gotten away. Omega slowly absorbed the surroundings. He was at Blitzkrieg HQ that much was certain.
"Good to see that you're awake." The Legendary Reploid said as he entered the room with Alia.
"Did you stop her?" Omega demanded.
"Alpha? In a manner of speaking, yes. You see; she has changed. She isn't the same person we fought before Omega. She wants to redeem herself."
"Wha…?" Omega's piercing blue eyes revealed the confusion within him.
"She has indeed changed." Alia agreed.
"I don't believe it. I will not believe it. People can't change. They are either good or evil. It's that simple." Omega growled.
"Talk to her before you judge her." X spoke gently.
A second later X turned and opened the door. After he did Alpha stepped through the door. She wasn't wearing her helmet and her blond hair cascaded down the side of her face. Her crimson eyes conveyed her apprehension and nervousness. If she wasn't evil Omega might have found her attractive.
"Hi." She whispered nervously.
Omega didn't respond.
X, and Alia turned laid a hand on Alpha's shoulders for a moment and left.
Omega heard Alpha whisper to X.
"Thanks father."
Omega's eyes widened. She just called X her father? But why would she do that unless she had truly changed. She might have somehow deceived Mega Man X. Still, Omega found that to be unlikely.
Alpha hesitantly approached Omega.
"Omega-1…I…I'm sorry." She whispered with her head bent.
Omega stared at her.
"I…I know that I did some unforgiveable things but, please let me try to rectify the situation at least in part." She whispered.
Omega didn't say anything.
"If you can't forgive me I can understand." Alpha turned quickly and began to move towards the door.
Omega heard a small amount of water splash against the floor with his enhanced senses.
"Alpha." Omega said.
He needed to see if the droplet had come from her. She slowly turned and Omega looked into Alpha's watery crimson eyes. There was a faint tear trail on her right cheek. Then he knew; she had changed.
"Come here." He spoke.
She walked over to him drunkenly. As she did Omega lifted himself up and stood. Alpha stopped in front of him.
"I'm sorry-" She started again.
"-So am I." Omega interrupted.
She blinked and looked at him in confusion.
"I didn't give you a chance to explain yourself. I let my anger get the better of me. Sorry." Omega said haltingly.
It was hard. He wasn't used to apologizing. It was decidedly difficult. To his surprise Alpha's arms wrapped around him and pulled him into his first hug. Omega instantly tensed. He had never been touched by another person like that before. After a long moment she let go of him and spoke.
"We both made mistakes. I let my anger and hatred overwhelm me and it almost destroyed this planet." She whispered.
Omega was still in shock about the embrace he had just received. He felt strange. Why had she given him human contact? Omega didn't need or want it. But, if he were to admit it to himself it had been…nice…
Omega nodded at her and spoke.
"You can just call me Omega if you want." The 'White Demon' said.
She nodded.
"Thanks Omega." She smiled at him faintly.

"Blazin' Flizard, commander of the 32nd elemental division… I wonder why you took this National Park over." Harpuia said as he landed next to the fiery Reploid.
"Traitor! You turned against Neo Arcadia, X, and Lord Wiel!" The Lizard-like Reploid growled.
"I won't serve a copy and I most certainly won't help out Wiel." Harpuia replied as he drew his twin blades. He lit the short swords and shot into the sky.
"You can't defeat the fire of this Volcano Traitor!" The lizard reploid roared.
"You forgot whom you are dealing with." Harpuia said as he dashed past Blazin'.
As he did he delivered a flurry of slices.
He heard Blazin' Flizard gasp in pain and Harpuia heard something slam noisily against the ground. Harpuia turned and saw Blazin' holding his right arm at the elbow. From the elbow down had been sliced off.
"Not bad." Flizard gasped and shot a fireball at Harpuia.
Harpuia flew above the attack and summoned an electrical storm to rip into Blazin' Flizard. Flizard crumpled. Harpuia landed and suddenly Blazin' dashed at him. Harpuia; as fast as he was had no time to react before the body of the commander of the thirty second elemental division rammed into him.
"If I can't defeat you I'll take you with me!" Flizard self destructed.
The explosion superheated the air around him. When it finally dissipated Harpuia looked around dazedly. Staggering over to what was left of Flizard Harpuia found the chip that granted Blazin' Flizard his elemental properties in the first place.
"This is Harpuia, mission complete. Unfortunately I don't know why they were here. However I did manage to gain a fire elemental chip and some blueprints of chip schematics." Harpuia said tiredly.
"Alright. Prepare for transfer, and Harpuia, take a rest when you get back." Ciel said and the operators brought Harpuia back to base.

"Zero, we need to investigate the old residential area of Neo Arcadia. We are detecting a powerful energy surge that resembles the Dark Elf."
"Very well, I will begin immediately." Zero replied as he walked past Ciel.
The now glowing armor of Zero illuminated a small area around him; bathing it in a crimson glow.
"Good luck….Zero…." Ciel whispered behind him.
