Mega Man Zero Omega
Chapter 15
Ender Fall
Zero rolled under a saber strike from Omega's O Saber before countering with a strike with the recoil rod, which was blocked by the flat of Omega's blade. Omega staggered back a couple steps before firing a blast of his buster.
Zero barely managed to bring up the shield boomerang in time. At that Omega smirked; his eyes dancing in delight.
"I'm going to truly enjoy this." Omega's crimson eyes burning.
"Hmph, you won't win this Omega." Zero promised.
A second later the two bodies collided; sabers crossed, and they both grunted from the impact.
"Get him Omega! Finish off the imitation!" Weil roared.
Omega shot the image a glance, to many it would seem almost indifferent, but a fury, a hatred burned buried deep.
Zero then grabbed the chain rod with his left hand and while blocking with the saber wrapped the weapon around Omega's leg and gave an almighty tug. Taken by surprise Omega slipped and struck the ground hard.
Immediately Zero struck slicing at his chest and the Z saber bit deep into Omega's armor. However, Zero's second strike merely nicked Omega's right arm and cut deep into Omega's right leg. .
Omega glanced at Zero as he rubbed his shoulder wound. Zero didn't give Omega a moment's respite however, and slashed at Omega's chest, hoping to capitalize on the already damaged armor and finish the fight and Omega, his mobility restricted could only duck. However, he wasn't fast enough and Zero's blade struck the helmet crystal viciously, causing it to shatter; completely and utterly.
Omega went flying, the impact of the Z Saber sending him flying against a wall.
"Omega! Get up! Get up!" Weil roared.
"He's finished, the crystal is destroyed."
"Hehehe, you really think that'll deactivate Omega? Of course not!"
Omega staggered up to his feet and glanced at Zero with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Now Omega! Finish Zero!"
"Huh?" Omega asked.
"Listen to me! I am your master! Do as I say! Kill Zero!" Weil shrieked.
"I...don't trust you. I'm suspected to believe that you're just using an emulation of my creator's voice to try to use me."
Weil sighed in frustration.
"What would convince you?"
"I would need to see you." Omega stated.
Weil said nothing for a long moment, thinking seriously.
He then nodded over the holoscreen.
"I will appear for just a minute before you."
"That will suffice." Omega agreed.
Zero observed this in curiosity. What was Omega doing?
A door on the far side of the room opened and Weil hovered beside Omega.
"Do you believe it's me now?" Weil asked.
Omega nodded before a bloodthirsty gleam settled into his eyes.
"It's time for...my greatest enemy to die...YOU!" Omega roared before striking Weil with an explosion of O Saber energy.
"Dark Elf! Stop Weil from escaping!" Omega ordered the elf inside of him.
Immediately tendrils of black energy wrapped around Weil, restraining him; stopping him from fleeing.
Omega then brutally struck several times, with hate filled eyes. At the end firing a couple fully charged shots from the buster. Omega than began to pummel the body of Weil, striking violently, again and again. Until there was nothing, not even a fragment of Weil's glass helm nearby. The remaining fragments were small, and far apart.
"I...I've done it! Hahaha! Weil's dead!" Omega laughed in glee.
Zero blinked.
"I...I'm free to do as I please!" Omega grinned before he turned back to Zero, dropped his buster and lit the O Saber once more.
"As grateful as I am for you breaking Weil's control of me...I still have to beat you!" Omega dashed at Zero, glee in his eyes.
Zero managed to deflect the blows and demanded an answer.
"What do you mean? Why do we still have to fight?"
"Because...it's our destiny! I'm the god of Destruction! I will destroy you!"
The two crimson Reploids continued to fight. Saber to saber, again and again the dance continued. Neither one was able to score a direct hit, however they managed to nick each other several times and they panted from their exertions.
"This...is what I live for!" Omega grinned at Zero.
"What happens if you lose?"
"Then I had the best fight I could. I find my equal." Omega smirked as he forced Zero to duck.
As time dragged on Omega and Zero began to grow weary, however, Zero had one last trick up his sleeve.
"Omega...Unlike you I don't start by using my largest form." Zero said before he was enclosed in a pitch black sphere of light.
"What is this?" Omega wondered as he readied his saber.
As the sphere receded a black Zero unfurled his bat like wings.
"Now you're finished." Zero promised before unleashing his calamitous arts.
Strike, teleport, strike, again, and again. Vicious claws raked across Omega, ripping the nearly indestructible armor to ribbons. Tearing across wire, and vital components. A few seconds later Zero's
strikes ended and Omega toppled, sparks flying off of him.
"Heh, you are strong...stronger than I...Now, Zero...Do me a favor...End me."
"What?" Zero asked.
"This god...I am...If I continue to live I will unleash death and bloodshed. It is what I am...If you want peace...you'll kill me. All I ask for...Is a warrior's death."
"What?" Zero asked.
"Heh, don't worry about it. Just finish this...Otherwise when I recover I'll go on the warpath again. This time, unrestrained and Neo Arcadia will burn to cinders. I will destroy everything." Omega promised.
Zero sighed.
"In a different time, if things were different...I think we might have been friends."
"Heh, you're probably right." Omega agreed.
"Let's finish this..." Zero grit his teeth knowing that Omega was right.
"Make it quick. I hate long goodbyes." Omega agreed.
"What if we reroute the violent protocols?" X asked as he entered the area.
Omega shook his head.
"First off, I won't anyone touch my mind. Secondly, my mind is designed to be impossible to reprogram."
At that Omega staggered to his feet and rushed Zero with his blade. Instinctively, Zero stabbed through the torso of Omega. The blades of Omega and Zero turned off, and Omega collapsed.
"N-Nice job Zero..." Omega grinned weakly as he released his saber beside him.
"Why? Why'd you do that?" Zero narrowed his eyes.
"Heh, I knew it was the only way t-to get you to end...this." Omega admitted.
"That's just..."
"Look Zero...J-just shut it. With the death of Weil...The last connection to Wily is...g-gone. Weil was a descendant of Wily... With his death...it's all...over...This world...now has a chance." Omega gasped.
"A chance?" X asked as he approached the fading Omega.
"Weil, Wily, Sigma...they all...threatened...this...world...with my death...his taint ends...plus...this...this is the death I was after...the death of a warrior...heh, fitting for me...The god of destruction ended...by...the red demon...This is how it should be..." Omega's eyes closed and his systems shut down, permanently.
Zero shook his head slowly.
"Why did it have to end this way?" X slammed his fist against the wall in a morose tone after he was able to speak again.
The remaining chunk of wall that X had hit crumbled into dust immedately.
"Master X!" A ninja like reploid called out as he sprinted over to them.
"Phantom...You've made it." X noted.
Phantom gave a faint half smile.
"Yes Master X. I apologize for being late, but I'm relieved to see that you've made it out alright."
X responded with a partial nod.
"It's alright Phantom." With that the crew looked over at Zero.
"It's fine. Now, all that remains is the return home."
"Home, after all this time. I'm not sure if I'm really able to see that all that well." X said quietly.
"Well, you've got a lady waiting for you right?" Zero asked.
X blinked.
"As well as a nation to lead." Zero grinned as he replaced his saber in its hilt.
X paled at that before he spoke.
"If you even begin to-" X began hotly.
"Sorry Master X, but Neo Arcadia; and mankind needs you." Harpuia interrupted X's tirade.
"There are others who can-" X began again.
"Not really Master, we four guardians can only hope to maintain peace in your name." Leviathan interrupted.
"Surely having a dict-" X started a third time.
"There's a difference in dictator and a king Master X." Fefnir stopped X's next train of thought.
"I'm no Mas-" X began a fourth and hopefully final time.
"Master X, you are our leader, our champion, and we show you honor by calling you Master, it's not a title for a slave in this case." Phantom said in a soft tone.
"I need to thin-"
"Just take the position X, everyone knows you're the best Reploid for the job." Zero interrupted X in a tired and frustrated tone.
"...Fine." X sighed before he turned his eyes over to Zero.
"You get to explain it to Alia though." X's smirk was undeniable.
Zero groaned miserably at that.
He already knew what kind of conversation that'd be!
AN: SURPRISED? WEIL DEAD...?
ANYWAY, THE REASON I HAD THAT HAPPEN IS BECAUSE I'VE BEEN PRACTICING AND I'VE GOTTEN A LOT BETTER...(ALTHOUGH THIS ISN'T EVIDENCE OF IT...HARD TO CHANGE STYLES IN THE MIDDLE OF THINGS)
SO THE PLAN IS THIS: I'LL FINISH THIS CURRENT SERIES (WITH THE EPILOGUE AND WE'LL BE BACK WITH A NEW SERIES, FIXING EVERYTHING UP NICE AND TIDY ^.^) IT SHOULD BE MUCH MUCH BETTER...MUCH DEEPER, AND SOMETHING THAT I HOPE WILL REALLY EXCITE EVERYONE. THE PLOT IS ALREADY FORMING BUT ISN'T QUITE READY.
AS TO CAPCOM...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? CANCELLING MEGA MAN LEGENDS 3? THAT'S INSANE.
P.S. OH YES, I'VE BEEN APPROACHED BY A CERTAIN ENGLISH PROFESSIONAL AND ASKED TO ACTUALLY TAKE THINGS UP A NOTCH (A.K.A GO PRO...) I GUESS MY OTHER ACCOUNT HELPED FORM MY WRITING INTO SOMETHING TRULY EXCELLENT. I DO HAVE A STORY IN PROGRESS THAT MIGHT JUST BECOME THAT. I CURRENTLY HAVE AN ANIMATOR ON BOARD AND THE CONCEPT ART (AS WELL AS THE NOTES) ARE FORMING FAIRLY WELL. THIS HAS BEEN TAKING UP A LOT OF MY SPARE TIME AND I HAD ALMOST FORGOT THAT I HAD THIS ON MY HARD DRIVE JUST SITTING AROUND.
SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT! BUT I HOPE THE NEXT STORY WILL BE (FOR THE FANS) MORE THAN WORTH IT. ;)
A VERY MUCH ALIVE BUT VERY, VERY BUSY GARDIAN X!
