Mega Man Zero Omega
Chapter 8
The Defender
The brown haired operator's eyes widened in shock.
"Dr. Ciel! Preparations have begun for the launch of a large missile! We do not know the target area, but we are attempting to hack our way in and find out. A tremendous energy is emanating from the missile. It seems that Omega is on board!" She said worriedly.
"Omega!? That Omega is on the Missile?!" Dr. Ciel gasped.
The blond operator added another report.
"Zero is still unconscious! The two newest additions are still too injured to aid us right now as well!"
Harpuia walked into the room.
"Then it falls to the rest of us." He said simply.
"What should we do?" Ciel asked.
"Enter the coordinates that you found Phantom, Vile, Axl, and I can handle this."
"That's...dangerous!" Ciel protested.
"Where is the missile headed?" Harpuia asked the operators.
"…Trajectory calculated. Target: Area Z, sector 3079." The brown haired operator answered grimly.
Harpuia's eyes widened.
"Truly, the Reploid in Neo Arcadia is not Master X!" He growled and then spoke again.
"Transfer me immediately! I can't allow that sector to be hit! There are humans living there!" Harpuia ordered.
"Understood…" Ciel bowed her head in defeat.
"Hmph, and I thought I was vicious. What a coward, hiding behind a missile." Vile growled as he entered the room.
Phantom appeared out of the shadows and spoke.
"This cannot come to pass, neither the true X, nor Master X would have allowed such a terrible ordeal to occur." Phantom said.
"That loser! Using my friend's form and firing a missile at the very city he is supposed to protect!" Axl added.

X shook his head in frustration. He had been drawn into combat once again. But for his daughter he willingly did so.
"Alia, I'm back." X said as he entered their room.
"I heard that you had to fight again." Alia mentioned.
"Alpha was in danger." He explained.
"What happened?"
"I'm not a hundred percent sure but apparently Wily had built in one last security measure to try to control Zero. It was effective and boosted his power even more. I couldn't pull any punches. I hit him with the Strike Beam and that didn't do much so I had to use oblivion. He'll be okay."
Alia's eyes widened.
"You had to use Oblivion?" Alia asked in shock.
"Yeah." X replied simply.
"Did you talk to him?" Alia asked.
"He was knocked out almost instantly afterwards but yes I spoke a few words to him."
Someone knocked on their door.
"Sir, Neo Arcadia has launched a missile. The target is Area Z, sector 3079. Omega is on board." Arcmaiden said through the door.
"What? They are attacking their own city?!" Alia asked in shock as X opened the door.
"Yes ma'am." She replied.
"How long until impact?" X asked.
"Fifteen minutes. The Resistance is scrambling even as we speak. Zero not able to take part in this but the two healthy guardians, Vile and Axl are all going to attempt to stop the attack."
"They should be able to handle it however, give the Defender Program clearance to terminate the missile. It was designed to take out nuclear weapons primarily but, it has more than enough power to zap all the electronics onboard any missile."
"Understood, I will give the Defender Program clearance to terminate the missile."
"Oh, and one more thing Arcmaiden."
"Yes sir?"
"Let the Resistance know that the Defender Program is on the job."
"Yes sir!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As the Resistance strike team was preparing to transfer the blond operator suddenly stopped the sequence.
"What is this?" Harpuia demanded.
"Listen!" She urged as she pulled up a video feed.
"This is Arcmaiden, operator at the Defender Program instillation; the Defender Program is active and ready to eliminate the missile. It will intercept the missile in about forty seconds. We have detected that you wish to disarm the missile, however should you be onboard the missile when the Defender program activates its systems everyone on board will be fried along with the missile. Do not transfer onto the missile. I repeat do not transfer onboard the missile." She said.
"Huh, the WMDXTerMInaTOR0122 is still active." Palette noted.
"Huh? What-a-what-a? Axl asked.
"WMDXTerMInaTOR0122 is the official designation of the Terminator Program; now known as the 'Defender Program'. You should remember that." She said.
"Well, some of us were dead while you were with Blitzkrieg." Vile said irritably.
Palette smiled at the former maverick.
"All right I'll explain. After the events of the Jacob Elevator and the New Generation reploids, humans became tired of reploids and their Maverick counterparts. When the Medical facilities in hunter base were attacked and one hundred humans killed it was just too much. They declared war on the Reploid race. A new military organization was born the HLA; otherwise known as the 'Human Liberation Army'. X was worried and while it was announced by the HLA and its massive forces that X, Zero, and Axl were to be terminated on site he went to try to negotiate with them. Signas, had decided that it was too big a risk to go so he had told X not to go. X disregarded these orders and went anyways. Alia, Layer, Axl, Zero, and I supported him over the communication systems once we unblocked them. He managed to get them to agree to only attack Mavericks until they were destroyed. Then after they destroyed all Mavericks they would have moved on to attack civilian and military reploids. Sigma had returned and was playing a game with us all along. While we were busy finding out that he had come back again he was busy finishing his ultimate creation: A fusion of both human and reploid. Sigma dubbed him 'Omega-1'. His power is immense and Sigma couldn't control him properly. Anyways, after a number of battles X destroyed Sigma, the Memory seal was damaged and X began to remember his past life." Palette took a deep breath.
"Anyways, not much later The MHRB (Maverick Hunter Regulation Board) which had kicked us out fro helping X negotiate with the HLA; thereby disregarding orders turned fully against us and our new organization 'Blitzkrieg'. They began stockpiling Nuclear weapons. We found out thanks to Omega and we began to counter this. When they tried to destroy us by self destructing one of their facilities they said we had nukes and we were using them on the MHRB. We became 'Mavericks'. While we fought the MHRB X was having trouble with his now returning memories from his past life. Alia supported him while he struggled with this. Eventually Blitzkrieg and Omega confronted the General of the MHRB, defeated him and left. But it turned out that they were being used as well." Palette took another deep breath.
"Dr. Gate was busy working on two projects; freeing Sigma from the virus and at the same time creating an anti-nuclear program. When Dr. Doppler joined us he was able to finish both projects. First we launched the WMDXTerMInaTOR0122 and when World War IV was drawing to a close he brought Sigma back."
"World War IV? I heard about it but what happened?" Ciel asked.
"Simple, the MHRB rebuilt Repliforce and at the same time created the RB empire (Regulation Board)."
"Eventually the true instigator of the war and controller of the RB empire made his move. He had finished his super weapon, 'Armageddon'. Armageddon was a space weapon that had advanced cloaking abilities and was over three miles in length. Not only that it had the ability to destroy planets from over five trillion miles away with ease. In its test barrage using only minor weapons the entire surface of the Earth was laid waste. Blitzkrieg reacted as soon as it could. The team infiltrated the super weapon, and Sigma aided them by sacrificing his life to destroy the weapon. The master mind; Dr. Wily had created the Bio-life force program to stay alive so he could control it or if they wouldn't let him he would destroy the earth." Palette explained.
The blond operator then spoke.
"The Defender Program has completely fried the missile, it is now in free fall. It will land… in Area Z, just near sector 3079. The emanation of Omega is still strong though. I think he survived the electromagnetic blasts of the Defender Program."
"Then transfer us there and we will finish him." Harpuia said.
"Understood. We will transfer you as soon as the missile lands and stops moving." She replied.
WELL, I HOPE THAT WILL HELP CLARIFY THE PAST FOR ALL OF YOU.
I WOULD HAVE POSTED THIS CHAPTER 2 DAYS AGO BUT THE SYSTEM WAS DOWN AND THEN I DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE COMPUTER YESTERDAY...
