Mega Man Zero Omega
Chapter 14
Omega: the god of Destruction
Zero quickly slashed through a wall of pantheon soldiers and rushed into the Neo Arcadian Trans Server Center.
"Nobody Move! I am commandeering this facility for an emergency transfer!" Zero yelled as he rushed to the human coordinators.
"I need a transfer to these coordinates immediately." Zero ordered.
"Why should we?" A young man sneered.
Another human laughed at Zero.
"Even if you threatened us how can you be sure that we would send you to the right location anyways?" A brunette girl asked him curiously.
"Because I said so." A familiar voice announced.
Zero turned and saw two reploids standing side by side. Both of them were shorter than him. The male was wearing black armor and its contours were sharp. His eyes were green and intense. The woman standing beside him wore a black body suit, pink chest plate and boots.
"X…Alia…." Zero said in surprise.
"Master…X?" The young man said in awe.
"Weil has betrayed Neo Arcadia son. The resistance is assisting me in putting him down for good." X replied simply.
"Yes Master X!"
"Beginning to input coordinates!" The brunette added.
"We will be ready to transfer in five minutes Master X!" The woman smiled at him.
"Good. Then this endless war will finally be resolved…" X sighed in relief.
"X…It's been far too long." Zero smiled as he approached X.
"I won't deny that." X said as he greeted his friend.
"It's been how long exactly?" Zero mused.
"Almost a century now." Alia noted.
"How did my imitation stack up against you anyways?" X asked curiously.
Zero chuckled.
"He was no hero that's for sure."
"Master X! Transfer may begin at any time!" The man announced.
"Zero, you go on head and confront Omega. I'm going to try to find a way to make sure Weil can't get away again."
"X you are the stronger of the two of us, shouldn't you confront Omega?" Zero asked.
"The battle against Omega is yours Zero. You'll understand once you get there, and I'll be there as soon as I can." X assured him.
"Mine?" Zero wondered.
"Please trust me, you'll understand once you face him." X promised.
"Alright I trust you." Zero agreed.
"Operators, transfer me now!" Zero ordered.
"Yes Sir!" They began the transfer.
Once Zero had gotten to the coordinates he contacted Iris.
"Iris, this is Zero. Can you hear me?" Zero asked.
"Yes! Zero, listen closely. The guardians are inbound and will do the fighting till you reach Omega. Axl, and Vile are currently assaulting a suspected Weil hide out. Those two should be able find out if Weil is there or not in a while. But the defenses are intense."
As she spoke the four guardians appeared beside Zero.
"Zero, we will handle the perimeter defenses. Keep up your strength for Omega." Harpuia said.
Zero nodded.
"Ohhh Zero, if I could I'd be battling you instead of these mindless drones." Leviathan giggled.
"Great…Now I have to watch out for Iris, Ciel, and Leviathan." Zero groaned.
Phantom chuckled as he faded from view.
And so the five warriors made their way deep into the heart of Omega's base.
About half an hour later the alarms started to wail.
"Intruder Alert Intruder Alert!" On one wall the data of Zero, Harpuia, Phantom and Leviathan appeared.
"Looks like they finally caught on." Zero noted.
"Yep." Leviathan agreed as she slashed a Pantheon in half with her halberd.
Finally the five of them passed through Omega's guardians (Eight Reploids that had had a major overhaul since their last encounter with them).
"Iris, the guardians have taken quite a beating against Omega's guards. I'm just outside of Omega's Chambers. Can you transfer them out of here?"
"Yes. But if I do we won't be able to do any transfers for a while." Iris warned.
"That's what I thought. Too bad the old Resistance HQ is so damaged. Go ahead Iris." Zero sighed.
"Okay Transfer in three…two…one…E Transfer complete!" Iris announced as the guardians faded in a glow of white.
"Thanks."
"Zero?"
"Yes?" Zero asked.
"This may feel like destiny, but remember: You have toppled destiny before, and if you don't like this destiny ahead of you, topple it again. Okay Zero?" Iris asked.
Zero nodded even though she couldn't see him.
"Right. I'll do that." Zero promised as he opened the doors leading to Omega.
The massive reploid was floating there, as if waiting for Zero.
"Zeeeeerrrrrrroooooooooo….I've…..Been….Waiting……For…….Yooouuu…." Omega said slowly.
"It looks like you still haven't learned how to properly talk." Zero noted.
"Hehe, Omega's power is so great that he doesn't need to talk." Weil cackled.
"Weil, show yourself!" Zero yelled.
"I don't think that's necessary. Omega, do me a favor and swat that annoying 'legend' for me." Weil ordered.
"……….Veerry…..Welll….." Omega said as he drew his massive saber.
"Omega…Let's do this!"
"Hold it Zero! I just thought of something." Weil added.
"What might that be?" Zero demanded.
"You have one more fight before you have the honor of fighting Omega- the god of Destruction!"
"What?" Zero asked in some surprise.
"Oh White Demon and Crimson Devil do your thing!" Weil roared.
One of the walls near Zero crumbled and Omega-1 and Alpha jumped in front of Zero, Crimson eyes glowing.
"Yes Lord Weil…" The two of them intoned dully as they drew their weapons.
"Omega's power is controlling them both?!?" Zero gaped as he dodged four charged shots from Omega-1's buster.
"That's right Zero. Omega has them both enslaved." Weil agreed.
Zero blocked Alpha's massive metal blades with his saber and dodged an overhead slash from Omega's saber at the same time. As he did he kicked Omega in the face.
Omega stumbled back as Zero pressed his temporary advantage on Alpha and by flipping over her he managed to surprise her and strike at her left hand, and knocked one of her massive weapons from her hand.
"Alpha snap out of it!" Zero yelled as he kicked her in the chest.
Her retaliation was a horizontal slash that nearly cut his head off.
As Zero ducked she grabbed the weapon that Zero had managed to knock out of her hand.
When Omega-1 Swung at Zero however, it didn't go as the white armored warrior had planned, Zero danced out of the way and before Omega had a chance to recover Zero's chain rod had wrapped around him. As Zero held him there Zero drained his strength rapidly.
Alpha saw what was happening and struck at Zero. Zero parried with his saber and then struck back at her with his recoil rod.
The heavy strike sent her flying towards a wall which she landed on daintily. She then pushed off and dived on Zero. As she drew close Zero's buster retaliated with a charge shot.
Zero's charge shot was powerful, not nearly as potent as X's perhaps but it was dangerous at close range. Alpha learned of this quickly when she was struck in the chest by the blast at point blank range, sending her sprawling.
Alpha groaned and didn't get back up.
After the constant draining by Zero Omega-1 had finally crumpled in exhaustion.
Zero panted slightly as he noticed several lacerations in his armor.
"Hehe, you thought you avoided all of their attacks? Guess again!" Weil taunted.
"No matter, I still have enough to beat your monstrosity. Thankfully they weren't fighting at full strength."
"What?" Weil asked.
"They don't fight well when their minds are controlled. We found that out long ago. It's something in their human mentality." Zero noted as he stared at Omega.
"No matter, Omega, it's your turn now! Destroy Zero! Destroy that weak fool!"
"Fool? I think this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black." Zero retorted as he rolled under a horizontal slash from Omega's titanic blade.
"Omega! Show Zero no mercy! Destroy him!" Weil roared.
It was a long and arduous battle. It was fast, it moved every where, and blasts of energy that wouldn't be out of in a book of magic rocked the facility. Zero couldn't hold back against Omega and so unloaded his complete arsenal. The only thing that Zero hid was Absolute Zero. Somehow, Zero knew that this battle was merely the tip of the spear.
When at last Omega's golden fists fell Zero sighed in some relief.
"It's almost over for Omega Weil." Zero commented.
"Hardly! Omega! Show him…More…Power!" Weil roared.
With that said the entire battle field began to crumble, it wasn't long before Zero had a tiny platform to stand on and he was facing an even bigger Omega.
"Size matters not." Zero said sagely as he struck again.
Somehow, by some miracle Zero managed to overcome Omega's second form and as the platform crumbled Zero realized that they had been falling throughout the entire battle. Once Zero landed on his feet (that were numbed by the impact for a while) he looked up and saw something glowing in the remains of the chest of Omega.
"It looks like I've won Weil." Zero smiled.
"Oh? You think you've won? Omega's dead and gone now? Is that it?" Weil asked.
"What?" Zero as he readied himself.
"Oh no! Omega's far from finished. What you destroyed was merely a shell of the true god of destruction!"
"A shell?" Zero questioned.
"Indeed, one that restrained his true power. May I introduce you to the true Zero?" Weil asked.
"You're kidding me. I am Zero." Zero replied even as the ruined husk of armor exploded.
"Zero..." A truly evil voice sounded as the dust settled.
Zero looked over at where Omega's armor had been and saw a shadow with glowing yellow eyes and enough power was radiating off of it that debris was floating near him. The gem set on its forehead was radiating a horrific light as well.
"So you are the true Omega." Zero said.
"I am Zero…I am the god of Destruction…I am the End! Ware wa meshia nari! Wahahah!" Omega laughed as he drew his saber and rushed at Zero.
"That's right True Zero, destroy your imitation!"
"I can't believe this. You think that Omega is the 'true Zero'? Where did you get such an idea?" Zero demanded as he dodged a flurry of strikes from Omega.
"You were meant to be the god of Destruction Zero, you had been planned to be the ultimate reploid. A true nightmare. Yet, due to some unforeseen circumstances you changed. You were no longer the Zero envisioned by your creator. You became tainted. Useless. So what remained? Wily remained and made the True Zero."
"He built a copy of me? So that what makes you think-" Zero was interrupted by a volley of shots from Omega's buster.
"No that's not why. He is what you were supposed to be. He is you enhanced and…Perfected."
A while later Zero spoke again as he dodged another barrage from Omega.
"Where did you get this information?" Zero asked.
"It wasn't hard for me to get the information. After all Wily and are very closely intertwined." Weil replied.
"What do you…?" Zero blocked Omega's saber.
"That doesn't matter now Zero. Omega, stop toying with Zero and just kill him." Weil ordered.
Omega didn't answer.
"Omega?"
"Zero is a talented opponent." Omega finally replied.
What is Omega thinking about? Or rather can he think for himself even? Zero wondered as he dodged yet another blow.
Well Zero Omega's drawing close to the end folks. I know it's been a long wait but as you might be noticing I've updated sooner than I did last time. Hopefully I'll be back into this fully soon.
Enjoy!
