*The group try to read out the situation within the Halberd which is safely within General Pepper's Flagship.*
*Map from Star Fox 64 plays*
Pepper:Star Fox. I am glad that you are unharmed from the attacks. The Lylat System needs your aid given the recent events surrounding both our enemies. With Andross causing havoc,the system won't be able to gain any sort of peace. And with this new Angler Empire threat,we fear that our system will be nothing but desolate wastelands.
Fox:I hear you, General. As you can see, we have gathered various amounts of help to stop this situation before it escalates.
Pepper:I see. I see that the Vector Corporation,Earth Force,Star Gladiators,The Commandos and even the Striders have come to aid us.
But we will need more fire power with the return of the aparoids.
Peppy:It's dangerous with those creatures back. We could barely take them down given what they are capable of in past reports.
Slippy:So what can we do?
Commando:Well for now, we better take out Andross's forces. They have more fire power given his allies are some of our enemies for our sectors.
Hiryu:Plus it was one of their ships that brought those creatures back.
Babyhead:I'd say you should focus your ships dealing with the Angler Empire. I believe their forces are smaller given their allies only share a common trait with their allegiance. Mack:...
Sho:True. But given our past fights, they will be dealt with once we are done with Andross.
Guy:The real question is what we were told about these creatures. Is it possible that they could infect other beings?
Pepper:It's only just theories given from our head researcher.
Slippy:Yeah. Dad is trying his best to give us the best kind of offense we can do to them. But we will need to grab this memory core he told me in order to truly study and destroy them.
Reiji:Seems like that's our mission now. Volnutt:Hmm.
Roll C:Is something the matter,Megaman?
Volnutt:I've been wondering what that ship is. It can't be Eden,since Byako sent it away when it fell in Yuri,Flynn,and Estelle's world.
Flynn:Do you think they have another?
Tron:Now that you mention it. I think that might be the ship that Megaman was stuck on.
Teisel:You mean Elysium! That ship is way worse than the Eden!
Hiromi:I heard stories about Elysium before.
Toby:If they have that.
Hayato:We have no time. That ship is twice as powerful as the Eden.
MegamanEXE:Plus no doubt it has all of our enemies like Bass or Sigma.
Pepper:Then it's settled. We will start our attack on the Angler Empire while you go and attack Andross's fleet. Just in case we will send one of our capital ships to aid in the assault. Bill,prep your men ready for the strike.
Bill:Right General!
Falco:Nice to see him in action again.
Krystal:I have a bad feeling.
Fox:What do you mean by that,Krystal?
Krystal:Somethings not right. I feel as though the Aparoids are with us.
Shion:What makes you think that?
MOMO:I hope that's not the case.
Reiji:We better ready ourselves for anything then.
*The Halberd leaves the hanger and begins to fly straight for Andross's Fleet*
*Within the interior of the Halberd*
*Flicker of Darkness from Namco X Capcom plays*
*KOS-MOS,T-elos,and Aegis all huddle in an out of sight unoccupied area.*
KOS-MOS (Aparoid Infected):The information gathered in this body has been fully analyzed.
T-elos (Aparoid Infected):Other worlds. Our influence will not be stopped. We will multiply and live forever.
Aegis (Aparoid Infected):When is it appropriate to strike?
KOS-MOS (Aparoid Infected):Once we bring forth more aparoids.
*The three move back to the inner chambers of the ship*
*Within Andross's ship*
Andross:So these fools dare attack us first? It's foolish of them to continue this assault.
I believe we can have some fun though with this battle.
Wolf. You will assist our allies as we send the Shogun into combat. We will do battle on that ship over there.
*Andross points at what seems to be the surface of Elysium*
Wolf:Fine them. I believe we can have a bit of fun dealing with those punks.
Leon P:What shall we do,Andross?
Andross:Take your Wolfens. I'm sending a task force with you to do a bit of damage on General Pepper's Flagship. As for our allies, I believe Scummocide has been itching to refight Captain Commando. Not to mention the allies they have on that ship anyways.
The rest of you,begin your crossfire with the Angler Empire!
*Within the flagship of the Angler Empire*
Angler Emp:Pepper plans to attack us? Very well. Expect a counter attack from Andross's forces. We will have some fun dealing with both parties. However I want you to send over something I've been meaning to test. Given the tech Dr Cranken has given us. I believe it is time to test something I have yet to see a field demonstration. On my command,Zazan. Prepare to fire the weapon.
Zazan:Understood,Emperor.
*The Halberd approaches the fleet,but is intercepted by Elysium.*
Haken:Having a planet sized fortress doesn't really make this whole fight fair.
Hiromi:It's scary to think that this is probably way larger compared to Eden.
Klonoa:Do you think we can stop this thing!
Volnutt:Well I've stopped it before.
Roll C:The only real question is if we can do it again.
Tron:Oh I believe so.
Teisel:The kid did it alone for the most part. Time for us to give a bit of back up.
*The group lands near some sort of entrance area,as the DragonTurtle docks and opens up*
Commando:I wonder if we are to scale this whole place.
Juno:Oh that won't be necessary.
*Juno & Geetz (In his more human appearance) outside the entrance to the fortress*
*Enveloping Dark Clouds from Namco X Capcom plays*
Juno:As you can see, we have sealed the entrance. And we believe your attack will only lead you to your elimination.
Geetz:Mistress Sera is preparing with our various allies to continue this assault. Once we eliminate the obstructions from the path. We will commence our mission and continue forward towards the planet.
Juno:I believe we are getting closer to victory. And it won't be long before we fully complete the Master's desires. But I see carbons such as yourselves doubt the ideals The Master had instructed long ago.
Roll:No way! You meanies are only to cause sorrow and pain!
Volnutt:The Master would never wish for this. This is a plan of anguish and oblivion.
Toby:Besides. We can't simply stand by and let you guys do something like this!
Juno:Carbons. I will understand their fortitude. Nor their selfishness in their pride.
Geetz:They are too far gone it seems. Such as the fate for Trigger.
Juno:Indeed. Allow us to give you time to reflect on your actions.
*Horokkos,Goro-Besshus,Mettaur C-15s,Gunbolts,DarkMechEXEs,CraggerEXEs,Patheon Guardians appear around the area*
ProtomanEXE:Just what are they planning?
Zero (Z):I don't know. But something doesn't seem right since all of them have different objectives in their goals.
Zero:Then it won't be long before any of them are at each other's throats.
Axl:If that's the case, this should be easy. Less trouble for us.
X:Doesn't mean it will be that easy,Axl.
*Victory Conditions:
Defeat all enemies*
*Defeat Conditions:
All allies are defeated*
*After defeating a few enemies*
*Within the Angler Empire's Capital Ship*
Emp Angler:Looks like our enemies are engaging with each other.
Zazan:My emperor, I have scouted the area and reported that Star Fox along with other various space defender forces are about that planet sized fortress.
Emp Angler:Interesting. I believe the time is now to unleash our new weapon. Aim the weapon precisely and on my command,open fire.
Zazan:Yes, My Emperor.
*A cannon with a strange insignia aimed at Elysium. The weapon was yellow and blue colored.*
Emp Angler:Open fire!
*The cannon fires what is a giant strange wad of colors heading towards the fortress.
The wad splashes onto the other side of the group,as it slowly stops right near the DragonTurtle*
Urashima:Just what the heck is that!
Agent 8:Did those angler guys just shoot paint at us?
Agent 4:I think so?
Mario:Hmmm?
Peach:Is something the matter Mario?
Mario:*Speaks Italian*
Peach:Now that you mention it. It does look familiar.
*Suddenly,strange beings start forming from the goop. While a giant goop-like Piranha plant appears*
*Vs. Proto Piranha from Super Mario Sunshine plays*
Mario:OH NO!
Luigi:Waaaah!
Peach:It is what we were thinking!
Palutena:Just what is that?
Klonoa:It's gooey!
Peach:It's this strange goop that Bowser Jr. used to use when Bowser kidnapped me on our vacation at Isle Delfino. How did they get the ability to do this?
Xiaomu:It's possible it was probably stolen like a lot of things lately.
Peach:If only we had F.L.U.D.D. to wash it all away.
Agent 4:Doesn't seem so hard. I think we can just take it down normally.
Peach:Maybe.
Yuri:Plus some of us probably know about water attacks or something close.
*Bloopers start spawning from the goop. Meanwhile Tartar colored Octarians,Biankies,and Gilly Octis appear near the goop*
Falco:Seems like the Angler Empire is keeping their ground forces with us rather than taking a counterattack with General Pepper.
Zero:Won't be hard for us,however.
*After a few turns*
X:Strange.
Zero:Is something up,X?
X:I noticed a disturbance above us.
Axl:Really? I don't see anything.
*Suddenly, strange pod-like devices fall from the sky and land all over Elysium.*
Fox:What the?
*These devices open up,and Aparoids begin to spawn from them.*
*Accelerating Chaos from Namco X Capcom plays*
Falco:Darn it! More of these things!
Cody:Can't these guys just go home or something?
Krystal:That disturbance I felt. No, I sense!
*KOS-MOS suddenly starts aiming her weapons at Shion, only for Krystal to push her out of the way*
KOS-MOS:Clever. To think we would meet once again. But it seems that fate has given us a second chance. Given "Me" a second chance.
*KOS-MOS,T-elos and Aegis fly back to some of the aparoid spawners.*
Mitsuru:No!
Akihiko:They got Aegis as well!
T-elos:All for us. All of the universe will be ours. We will do what we must in order to consume all that we see. For we will all be one. I will be everyone. No one will escape my kind. Much less shall they not be part of our species.
Aegis:All will be part of the aparoids. There is little you can do to resist us. For we are unity itself.
Zero:Sounds like a maverick talking to me!
MOMO:How can we free KOS-MOS from this!
Shion:I don't know.
MegamanEXE:Maybe we could jack in and destroy this virus from the inside.
RollEXE:But what if we get infected by them too?
Palutena:Me,Rose and Menat could fix them.
Menat:Is that possible?
Rose:We might as well try.
KOS-MOS:Impossible. We will not submit. All life will. You can not hope to free yourself. Nor our newest members.
Xiaomu:Not if we have anything to say about it!
Reiji:We won't stand by and let them do this.
Krystal:We have to get rid of those hatchers. If we don't,they might end up taking this whole fortress and who knows what they are capable to use by then!
Juno:My. This does seem serious.
Geetz:To think, one of our allies would go this mad to let this happen. We must remove them this instant or our plans and rather, our free will. Will be enchained to a single mindless being.
Juno:I concur.
*Updated Victory Conditions:
Defeat all aparoid infected ally units.
Destroy all Aparoid Hatcheries*
*Every five turns, an ally unit close to any aparoid hatcher will be infected and join the enemy side*
*After a turn*
*Suddenly everywhere around the whole battlefield starts to shake violently*
Xiaomu:What's going on!
Ichiro:Any of you feel that!
Dante:Pretty sure everyone can!
*A strange blackhole opens up*
*The Gates of Solved Fates from Namco X Capcom plays*
*The strange blackhole opens up and starts spewing Makai demons. More specifically Red Arremers,Blue Zombies, Red Joker and Astaroth*
*1st Stage from Ghost 'N' Goblins plays*
Astaroth:What! What is the meaning of this!
Red Joker:Hmph! What sorcery has brought me unwillingly to this battlefield.
Arthur:Astraroth! Firebrand! Astaroth:Arthur! I see you would come to face me so eagerly, you'd use all matter of powers to do so! I must commend your tenacity! But your foolishness shall pay you for this encounter!
Arthur:It was not I who brought you to this realm,demon king! Something ominous is at play.
Red Joker:I see. Then again. Your magic and weapons could not yield this kind of results. Just who is behind this.
Juno:I must admit. Seeing you two here does pose quite the curiosity.
Geetz:I believe this blackhole must be behind this.
Felicia:Strange? Wasn't he stuck like the other demon high lords in the Subway?
Pit:I think you mean Subspace.
Ren:Well given our encounter with Takaya. They were never stuck.
Astaroth:Indeed! But I refuse to be in this area! Just what is happening!
*The blackhole begins to spew out enemies again. This time,they spew out Kyokashinobi Kusas,Oozutsus and Kurogahaneα*
*Vengeful Beauty from Nightshade plays*
Hibana:The Kurogahane!
Hotsuma:That blackhole managed to bring this droid out! Then again. The last time we saw this robot was with Emperor Meio.
Hiryu:It seems this disturbance is bringing forth enemies all around us.
Haken:The real catch is that this ain't under strict orders.
Kogoro:So someone is manipulating this whole thing. Think is Ouma?
Mii:I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.
Astaroth:Though this may not be the best of situations. I as well finish what I set out to do a long time ago and rid myself of you pests!
*After destroying all of the hatcheries*
Aegis:Impossible.
KOS-MOS:We must redouble our efforts to recapture more.
*The blackhole continues to shake and now spews out M63 Harvesters,M83 Predators,M85 Meteor Artillery,Mass-Produced Faces and Metal Face*
*You Will Know Our Names from Xenoblade Chronicles plays*
Metal Face:What? What in blazes is this!
Shulk:Great! Just what we needed!
Fiora:Seems like this distortion is just here to annoy us.
Metal Face:Ah! Monado boy! Is this thing here your idea!
Shulk:As if we brought you here for a fight!
Metal Face:Doesn't matter to me! Once I rip you apart,I'm going after Dunban next!
Fiora:Don't you dare threaten my brother or Shulk!
Metal Face:As if you can try to stop me! I'd! Gurgh!
*Metal Face stops,as strange colors begin to surround the Mechonis.*
Metal Face:What's going on! I can't control the damn thing!
*The Mechonis begins to open up,as it release a middle aged man with long black hair,wearing a robotic like attire almost that of Metal Face*
?:Damn thing! It shouldn't act like this!
Shion:Oh is that?
Guntz:Looks like some sort of slimeball.
Shulk:The true form. That is Mumkhar. He is one of us. A Homs.
Fiora:Long ago, he fought alongside my brother against the Mechonis. But only to be killed in action. Later we found out he had joined the Mechonis and tried to eliminate all of the Bionis. For the sole reason of killing him out of spite.
Mumkhar:And we could have won had it not been for you punks! And it was worse when Dunban's little twerp of a sister killed me those few years ago! Being alive may be my final chance to end it all! End you! End the Monado Boy! And everyone on that worthless plain!
Shulk:You never gave up on being insane. But you won't win. Not this time nor any other.
Mumkhar:You think you can keep that tough guy attitude,boy! You won't even last a second given the circumstances! Everything looks like it's all going to fall apart.
Byaku:Actually,from what I see, It's right on schedule.
*Byaku appears with Byakuya Mugens*
*Evil Profusion from Namco X Capcom plays*
Reiji:You!
Xiaomu:We can expect no less that Ouma is already putting their plan into effect.
Byaku:And I must say,it is going very well. What you felt is the final step. We are simply going to do what we can to ensure our new world is complete. And we are nearly there. For now, we wish to demonstrate how this can all work. And my, I am impressed.
Reiji:You! Where did you send him?
Byaku:Hmm? Send who may I ask? Ah you mean the fine folks here who want to kill you. Well that's very easy. You see-
Reiji:Wrong answer. Where is Byako!
Byaku:What's that? You mean the scrap pile? Please. You needn't worry about that failure we had to throw away. He was after all our property. And let's be honest, he's lived his usefulness to your cause.
Reiji:Shut it. You don't get the right.
Byaku:Says the guy who would have broken him any chance the prototype would slip up. You'd never trusted him on day one. I'd doubt you need to threaten me over a technicality you'd fixed yourself. But I must digress. This is only the beginning of what we have in store. Until then I must start making tabs on the other members of Ouma. No doubt their plans might mess up ours. Until then, have fun with the mass produced. They sure have much to say compared to my vocabulary.
*Byaku retreats*
*Title Call from Project X Zone plays*
Chapter 94:The Lylat Wars Part 2
*After defeating Juno*
Juno:My. This is a predicament. But I can not allow you to enter this place under any way.
*Juno Retreats,forcing the entrance closed*
*After defeating Geetz*
Geetz:Impressive. But Mistress Sera nor her allies have any more business to deal with you all.
*Geetz retreats*
*After defeating the Proto Piranha*
*The inky creature screams as it dissolves,also dissolving any paint related enemies*
*After defeating Aegis*
Aegis:Malfunction detected *Aegis collapses*
Mitsuru:Don't worry, Aegis. We'll get you fixed before you know it.
*After defeating T-elos*
T-elos:Damn it!
*T-elos collapses*
Shion:Don't worry,T-elos. We won't let you continue like this.
*After defeating KOS-MOS*
KOS-MOS:Damage received. Can not continue the battle*
*KOS-MOS collapses*
MOMO:Do you think we can help her!
Shion:We will. I am sure of it.
*After defeating Red Joker*
Red Joker:As annoying as it was to be forced into this location. It is a very needed exercise for our eventual final encounter,Arthur.
*Red Joker retreats*
*After defeating Astaroth*
Astaroth:Damn you,knight! I will not be denied until I turn you into a pile of bones!
Arthur:That day will never come, Astaroth.
*Astaroth retreats*
*After defeating Kurogahaneα*
*The droid retreats*
Hibana:Damn. It got away again.
Hotsuma:We will eventually destroy it and free the Akuiji shards from its body.
*After defeating Mumkhar*
Mumkhar:Damn it! It's not enough that I can't use my Mechon. Now I'm being forced to leave! You haven't seen the last of me!
*Mumkhar retreats*
*After defeating Metal Face*
Metal Face:This body will do for now. We leave.
*Metal Face treats*
Fiora:We have to destroy that Mechon. Even if Mumkhar is not piloting it. It is still dangerous to keep around.
*After defeating the remaining enemies*
Shion:How long do you think you can free them of this influence?
Palutena:Shouldn't be a problem.
*The Goddess of Light purifies the androids.*
Give them a few hours to recover.
Shion:Thank you.
Urashima:So what's the plan now?
*The DragonTurtle flies from Elysium and continues their course to the flagship.*
