So I finally finished all three of my MegaMan StarForce games that I own (Leo, Zerker x Ninja, and Red Joker) and I was inspired to write this. Now I have also played all of the later MegaMan Battle Network games (from 3-6 and own both copies of all of them) for which StarForce got its origin. Long story short, I thought "What if I combined the two?" This is a product of that thought. Unnecessary legal note: The MegaMan character and all things relating to it in this fanfic are property of Capcom.

Note: I did not include a Bio or description to any character. If you've played any of the games, then you know what they look like and so on. Plus, even though these games are combined, allow me to point out the obvious fact that the MegaMan from the Battle Network games is spelled MegaMan. StarForce spells it Mega Man. They are also two completely different characters, and they barely look similar. I have formatted my writing as thus.

Hope you enjoy!

Melee.EXE

Prelogue: Teamwork Unrivaled

It's the year 2XXX, and Lan Hikari has just spent all afternoon with his new pal, Geo Stelar. Lan's father, Dr. Yuichiro Hikari, has just been assigned a new position at SciLab. He is now the new CEO! At the same time, unfortunately, SciLab had to relocate from the ACDC Area to the Echo Ridge Area. Lan is adjusting to life without his usual worries about school or the WWW. Geo has formed a BrotherBand with Lan as a request from of his father, Kevin Stelar.

They both know about each other's past threats, and they often share stories about their greatest rivals. Lan argues that Bass was stronger. Geo claims that Rogue was stronger. They also fight over which is better between Geo's Hunter-VG and Lan's PET.

Neither of them knew that old threats were going to turn into new problems.

Part 1: Mastered

Dr. Light's grandson Neon has invented a new Battlechip for MegaMan, called "MstrChip."

Also, after a lot of research, Mr. Boreal has also invented a similar Wavecard for Omega-Xis, called the "MstrWave."

Now, both are able to access any Standard attack they have in their respective Libraries. MegaMan, naturally, has a much more vast collection because of his ongoing fight with people like Dr. Wily and his son, Dr. Regal. Geo, however, has a more powerful arsenal of attacks because of his ability to commune with the wise Satellite Administrators, the mysterious OOPArts, and the Noise.

Even though they always fight over who's better, they still remain friends and Brothers, but how long will that bond last?

Part 2: Unknown Enemies

"Minion!" yells Dr. Regal. "Bring me the reports on that annoying navi MegaMan!"

The Dealer goon rushes to grab the file from the counter, but accidentally trips trying to grab it quickly.

"Get up, you fool!" screams Regal at the top of his lungs. "I didn't go through all that trouble just so you could waste my time laying about!" Dr. Regal starts thinking about when he was brought back to life for the second time by his father, Dr. Wily, then made to join Dealer out of his best interests.

"Yes, sir. Sorry, sir," stutters the scientist goon, handing the folder to Regal.

"Now," Regal sighs as he opens the folder, "let's find out if this navi has a weakness that I've missed."

Flipping through the papers inside the folder, his expression turns to a smile as he glances through a file about MegaMan's operator.

Part 3: Family Troubles

"Geo! Get out of bed and come down here!" yelled Hope Stelar, Geo's mother.

The sheets in Geo's bed rustled, but he didn't wake up. Omega-Xis, hidden inside Geo's Hunter-VG, opened his eyes to also find a sleeping Geo, but didn't care enough to try to change that. Omega-Xis closed his eyes and drifted off again as well.

Hope paced around the living room, hanging her head. "Honestly, that boy is just like his father."

"What was that?" laughed Kelvin, Hope's husband and Geo's father. Hope blushed, forgetting that he finally came home after a long and troublesome adventure in space. After living so long without him, she can understand why she let herself forget that her beloved Kelvin was finally home. It was finally a nice, peaceful time together.

"Aaaaaaaaaaagh!!!"

They both heard a gruesome scream coming from a girl at the house next door, where they knew Geo's new friend Lan and his parents lived.

Kelvin sprang into action and rushed out of the house, bursting into the next door down to find the origin of the scream.

Mrs. Hikari, Lan's mother, was now covering her own mouth. She was looking in terror as Dr. Regal had her husband, Dr. Yuichiro Hikari's throat in his grasp. Yuichiro was suspended in midair by the android-like strength that Regal possessed, and he was held against the wall.

"So, you're the one who invented that pesky navi, MegaMan, hmm?" whispered Regal into Yuichiro's ear. Regal's grip suddenly tightened and Yuichiro cringed in pain as he dangled against the wall of his own home.

"Do you know how much trouble I've been through because of that worthless creation of yours? Do you know how much I've suffered?! Well, now you're going to know the same suffering at the hands of Dealer!"

"D...Dea...ler...?" Yuichiro managed to choke out one word before his body started flailing about in desperation.

"Dealer will rule the world and destroy all you worthless people who think you're so high and mighty just because you stopped us once before. Well now, we're the ones who will show you who's the strongest!"

Kelvin ran up behind Regal and landed a solid punch to the back of his skull, but his efforts were in vain when Regal didn't feel a thing. It was as if his skull was made of tempered metal or solid iron.Kelvin grabbed his hand in agony as he realized that even he couldn't stop Dr. Regal's attack on Yuichiro.

"Geo, honey, wake up! Please, you have to wake up!" Hope started shaking Geo to wake him up.

"Unngh..." Geo groaned as he sat up in bed. "What do you want, mom?"

"Your father's in trouble, Geo! He's next door. You have to help him. Something's wrong!" Hope began crying next to Geo as she sat in his bed.

"Something's happening to Kelvin?" Omega-Xis repeated as he came to.

"Come on, Mega! Let's go save dad!" Geo exclamed as he sprang out of bed, running out of his bedroom and out the door.

"Be careful, Geo..." Hope said to herself before burying her face in her hands and crying again.

Next door, Geo ran inside to find his newest friend Lan's father held up against the wall by a dark-haired man he's never seen before. His father, Kelvin was grabbing his hand in pain and Mrs. Hikari was tending to Kelvin's wound.

Suddenly Lan ran into the room with MegaMan beside him, thanks to his CopyBot.

"MegaMan, charge up your Buster and take him out in one shot!" screamed Lan, and immediately MegaMan held up his Buster and a bright light swirled around the barrel. As the swirling light formed into a bright ball of energy, MegaMan gripped his Buster with his other hand.

"Mega Buste..." MegaMan's shouting was interrupted by Geo. "Wait!" He ran up and grabbed the end of MegaMan's Buster, and MegaMan stopped his charge in fear of hurting Geo.

"Wouldn't a shot like that hurt your father as well?" Geo reasoned with Lan.

"Grr, fine!" Lan steamed. "Then take him out with your Hammer BattleChip!"

"That works too!" says MegaMan as he runs up and lifts his Buster high into the air.

"Hammer!" Suddenly his Buster seperates and reconfigures itself into an enormous silver hammer, immediately being swung into Regal's backside. It's a brutal impact, but it only makes Regal shiver before using his other hand to grab the hammer that hit him and crush it into pieces. The hammer lands on the ground and severely cracks the hardwood of the floor.

"MegaMan!" shouted Lan as he dropped to his knees, feeling defeated. His head lowered and he whipped out his PET. Flipping it open, he pushed a button while murmuring "BusterMAX." Suddenly, MegaMan's broken Buster glowed white and restored itself before everyone's eyes.

Regal kept Yuichiro's throat in hand while he calmly walked over and grabbed MegaMan's newly restored Buster and lifted him off the ground as well. Swinging him around and throwing him to the side, MegaMan slammed against the wall and his helmet cracked open, falling to the ground before his body landed on top of it. His body fizzled and flashed before returning to the original CopyBot shape. MegaMan's data beamed back into Lan's PET and Lan's eyes began to water.

"MegaMan, please! Are you ok?" Lan shouted into his PET, but received no response from MegaMan...

"Geo..." Lan whispered. "You have to do something or he'll kill my father..."

"Let's go buck wild on him, Geo!" Omega-Xis shouted out, causing Geo's Hunter-VG to shake from his excitement.

"Alright, Mega. Let's go!" Geo smiled as he whipped out the verification card issued to him by the Satella Police. Running full force at Regal directly, Geo slid the verification card through his Hunter-VG.

"Transcode! Mega Man!"

Disappearing from the physical world, Geo and Omega-Xis fuzed together and EM Wave Changed into Mega Man. They beamed directly into Dr. Regal's Cyber Core and found a control panel at the back of the Wave Space.

Walking up to it, suddenly the air around them felt dense, and the floor darkened.

"So you've finally come to try and stop me. I was waiting for you..." A mysterious voice boomed around them.

"Hey, Geo! You recognize that voice?" Omega-Xis asked.

"The second I heard it," Geo replied, smiling. "Show yourself, Hyde!"

Suddenly a black puff of smoke bursts from the ground and white streams of swirling ghosts engulfs the area inside the smoke. When the ghosts and smoke fade away, the caped figure of Dark Phantom appears, laughing a sinister laugh.

"The scene is set, the characters are here, and the script has been written. It's time to start the show!" laughs Dark Phantom as he waves his gloved hand to the side. "Take a look at the movie screen, gentlemen! This is a little play I like to call 'Death of a Scientist.' Like it?"

A moniter screen appears out of nowhere in front of them. On the screen, the image of Yuichiro on the ground appears. Suddenly Regal walks in from off-screen and places his hand on the back of Yuichiro's head, which then glows red. The glowing redness flows out from Yuichiro's head into Regal's hand and Regal begins to snicker.

"What are you doing to him!?" demands Geo.

"Why, I'm doing nothing," laughs Dark Phantom. "It's my favorite android, Dr. Regal, that's doing all the work gathering wisdom energy from that pathetic scientist."

"Wisdom energy?" asks Omega-Xis, without realizing he said it out loud.

"Once we gather enough wisdom energy from the creator of MegaMan, we'll be able to learn how to take him down!" Dark Phantom throws his head back and laughs again.

"Why do you care about him, when you have me to deal with! Why do you insist on hurting innocent people? Answer me!" Geo screams at Dark Phantom, rage building inside as he watches his best friend's father lose mental energy right in front of him on the moniter.

"Careful with that red-hot anger, you'll burn your hair off!" Dark Phantom jokes, taunting Geo.

"LEO KINGDOM, GIVE ME YOUR POWER," Geo's voice booms as if it is coming from the sky. A red light beams down over them from nowhere and Mega Man glows red. A faded figure of Leo Kingdom appears behind Mega Man and plant his massive paws on the sides of him, causing the ground to shake and making Dark Phantom step backwards a bit.

"It can't be! This wasn't in my script!" Dark Phantom shouts as he hears Leo Kingdom's tremendous roar behind MegaMan. Leo Kingdom fades away and Mega Man has become Star Force Leo.

Omega-Xis roars the same booming roar before charging up a small red sphere inside his mouth. Geo holds Omega-Xis on his side, charging up a Big Bang and causing Omega-Xis' eyes to glow white and the small red sphere to become a big ball of pure flames.

"Atomic Blazer!" shouts Geo as he shoves Omega-Xis forward and he lets loose the fireball, which turns into a gigantic beam of flaming energy. The Atomic Blazer tears through Dark Phantom and reverts him back to Hyde, though still an EM being for now.

Hyde does his best to pulse out as fast as he can, barely missing the second wave of the Atomic Blazer which was aimed to destroy the control panel. It worked, and the entire Cyber Core went dark as the power was shut off.

"Well, we beat him," Geo panted before he dropped onto his back, exhausted. He laughed, then Omega-Xis pulsed both of them out.

Back in the Hikari house, the empty shell Dr. Regal is on the ground, lifeless. Dr. Hikari is holding his throat and catching his breath. Standing nearby, Geo gets suddenly hugged hard by both Lan's mom and his own.

"Thank you, Geo..." Lan almost-whispers from across the room, his head still hung low. He turns and walks away, back to his room. Geo starts trying to follow him, but the two hugging women stop him.

Part 4: Worthless

Lan couldn't sleep that night, and he was feeling like dirt. He just layed there.

His PET next to him rumbled and MegaMan chimed in.

"Lan, you can't keep feeling that way," buzzed MegaMan from the confines of Lan's PET.

"I couldn't even save my own father, MegaMan. I don't know what to do with myself," Lan sulked as he layed in bed.

His PET began jumping up and down now, MegaMan trying to lighten the mood. "Well, nothing's gonna change with you just laying there. We should train so that if something else happens, we'll be ready!"

Lan sat up in bed, but his expression barely changed. "What's the point? We've been fighting for as long as I can remember. You and I've defeated enemy after enemy, but when dad needed me the most, I couldn't help."

"It's only because it was something we weren't expecting," stated MegaMan. "But now we know what they're capable of. If we practice, we can beat them! I know we can do it!"

"I don't know if I could," Lan exhaled, before laying back in bed again and closing his eyes, thinking.

And as he was drifting off to sleep again, he heard a faint buzzing sound...

Part 5: Reverberating

Section Pending...

Ending note: I realize that most sections are very small, only a paragraph or two. They are meant to be background detail, not important to the storyline but important to the story, if that makes any sense. And I don't care if the timelines are off. The storylines for each game aren't clear anyway. Deal with it. Lol

EDIT: Removed layout for easier reading.

cool, i like it so far, even though i dont really like mega man, but i think this is great, nice job!

its been pretty good so far interesting idea btw

Finally! A reply! Lol. Anyway, the next chapter's finished.

Part 5: Reverberating

It was all over JomonLive News, everybody heard it.

Loud buzzing, ringing within everyone's ears. Lan woke up grabbing his head, pain coursing through his head, reacting to the loud buzzing.

Geo woke up and yawned. The night was great! He dreamed about Sonia, he defeated Hyde yesterday, and he was feeling on top of the world.

"Are you ready for today, Mega?" Geo almost shouted before he realized that his parents may still be sleeping.

"Huh? Yeah!" Omega-Xis rubbed his eyes with his clawed hand, carefully so he wouldn't scratch himself.

Walking out of his room, Geo gasped at the surprising sight he saw.

Kelvin was cringing on the floor in front of the couch, holding his head in agony. Hope was laying on the tile in the kitchen, doing the same.

"Mom, Dad!" Geo screamed as he ran over to his father, kneeling down beside him.

"G...Geo...!!!" Kelvin yelled, even though his son was next to him. "Sss... So loud... so much noise...!!!"

"I don't hear anything, Dad!" Geo told him.

"What?!?!" screamed Kelvin, only hearing the blaring buzzing rolling around in his head.

"I said I DON'T HEAR IT!!!" screamed Geo, making sure his father would hear him that time, no matter how much noise he's hearing.

"I can't hear you, Geo!!!" Kelving was screaming louder than Geo did, and his screaming caused Geo's ears to hurt for a second.

Standing up, Geo walked towards the door. "Maybe Lan can help me."

"I'll be back, Mom and Dad."

Knocking on Lan's door, Geo waited outside for someone to answer it. He rang the doorbell, knocked again, and kept waiting.

"Maybe the samething happened to them," Omega-Xis guessed.

"Then we'll have to bust inside to help them!" shouted Geo, immediately taking out his Satella Verification card.

Geo yelled as he swiped it through his Hunter-VG.

"Transcode! Mega Man!"

Light surrounded him, Z Waves flew through his body, and EM waves crawled along his skin. His body became nothing but waves, and Omega-Xis was able to infuse himself into Geo. His wizard body engulfed Geo's EM body, and they became the hero known as Mega Man.

Omega-Xis noticed an opening to a Noise Wave into the doorbell, and Geo walked up to it.

His Hunter-VG began reacting to it and started vibrating, speaking to him in a robotic voice.

"NOISE WAVE DETECTED."

"...ACCESSED!"

The Noise Wave buzzed a little and cracked open, creating a wide portal leading inside.

"So let's go, Mega!" Geo rallyed before he touched the portal to the Noise Wave, his body breaking up into bits of solid Noise and flying into the dark void.

His body reconstructing inside the Noise Wave, Geo and Omega-Xis in Mega Man form rushed through the area, scanning around for the portal out and into Lan's house. Passing by a Noism on his way through, they heard it speak.

"Dzzt... Dzzt... Only the chosen may silence the sounds... Dzzt..."

"Omega-Xis, what does that mean?" Geo asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" Omega-Xis mumbled before spotting the portal out of the corner of his eye. "Over there!"

Geo ran over to the portal and jumped through, his body again falling apart into bits of solid Noise and passing through to the other side.

Back in the real world, with Omega-Xis now sitting comfortably inside Geo's Hunter-VG again, Geo looked around and noticed the same thing. Lan's mom and dad were sprawled about on the floor, holding their heads in extreme pain. Geo ran past them into Lan's room before he noticed Lan also groaning and clutcing his head in agony. Geo ran up and bent down beside Lan and grabbed his arm.

"Lan! What happened to you!" Geo screamed, hoping Lan would hear him. But then he noticed that his eyes weren't even open, so Lan couldn't see Geo beside him.

"It's some buzzing sound!" Geo heard a voice in the quiet room.

"I'm in the PET, Geo!" shouted MegaMan from inside Lan's PET. Geo stood up and walked over to it, picking it up from the desk it was on.

"What do you mean?" asked Geo.

"I don't know for sure. All I know is that someone must have tampered with Lan's computer! Last night he mentioned a faint buzzing sound and now look at him! Every time I try talking to him, he just keeps saying 'computer' out loud, like he doesn't know I'm right next to him!" MegaMan explained as calmly as he could.

"Then I guess we should see what's wrong with the computer," Omega-Xis pointed out.

"My thoughts exactly," Geo confirmed before taking out his Satella Verification card.

"Wait!" MegaMan shouted from inside the PET. "It's not something you can do!"

"Now what do you mean?" Omega-Xis was the one to ask this time.

"Lan's computer isn't something you can just 'pulse in' to, or whatever you guys do. Lan's father put a strong firewall on it. Only I can access it." explained MegaMan.

"Then why can't you just beam over to it yourself and fix it?" yelled Omega-Xis.

"If it was that easy I would've, but it's too far away to 'just beam over to it' like I want to." MegaMan spoke with an irritated tone.

"Can you jump into my Hunter-VG and I'll carry you over there?" asked Geo calmly, trying to stop their fight before it starts.

"No way, I'm cooped up as it is!" shouted an angry Omega-Xis. "I'm not gonna let him in and make it even more cramped!"

MegaMan beamed in anyway, and Omega-Xis turned his back inside the Hunter-VG. MegaMan made an insulting face to the back of Omega-Xis, then turned around himself.

Geo began walking over to Lan's computer just then, and his Hunter-VG's screen glowed white for a moment. Geo passed it off as nothing, then MegaMan called out.

"Jack in!" shouted MegaMan as he beamed out and into Lan's computer.

Inside the computer, MegaMan ran around the CompArea searching for the source of the buzzing noises. At the very back of the area, MegaMan found a huge mechanical cylinder with a big red diamond on the front of the strange device. Lines ran all along it, dividing the entire cylinder into sections.

"Did you find it?" MegaMan could hear Geo's voice from inside the computer as he was talking.

"Yeah, I think I found what caused it. Now all I need to do is destroy it!" MegaMan shouted so Geo could hear him through the computer speakers.

MegaMan stood farther back, changing his right hand into his Buster so that he could destroy the machine. Once he was far enough back so that he wouldn't get caught in any backfire, he held up his Buster and charged it up. Bright lights swirled around the barrel of his Buster, which then turned into a big white sphere of energy surrounding the end of his arm.

"Mega Buster!!!" MegaMan shouted as he released his blast, and the ammo was engulfed in blue flames as it soared through the air towards the machine. When it connected with the metal of the machine, the charged shot exploded and the entire machine was hidden by smoke left from the contact.

"It is time to be judged again, I guess..." exhaled a powerful voice, a voice that MegaMan recognized.

"No way, is that...?" MegaMan stepped back again, a bit frightened at the realization of the enemy he would be facing.

The smoke cleared a bit, and the giant section in front of the device slid away to reveal a face. Suddenly big horn-type claws grew from the sides and the entire machine levitated up from the ground. Duo's head looked down on MegaMan and spoke again, his voice booming through the area.

"He's right, Earth does need to be judged early. And I've noticed that the violence in this world has even grew to include domestic affairs."

"Who's 'he' exactly?" asked MegaMan. "And do you mean what happened yesterday with Regal? That wasn't our fault!" He pleaded with Duo's head, but Duo did not look swayed.

"No matter what you say happened, I saw the violence in that house with my own eyes. Earth is a corrupt planet with evil people living in it. I could never let it stand this way!" Duo's voice boomed.

"What if we change then?" MegaMan asked, hoping to avoid the difficult fight that would inevitably happen.

"NO!!!" Again, Duo's voice blasted through the area, causing MegaMan to drop to his knees. "This was Earth's second chance, and again it has failed to show me anything worthy of even existing."

"But you can't just destroy everything! I won't let you!" Inside, MegaMan worried the Duo's head itself would easily delete him. But he had to stand up to him. He had to stop Duo from destroying everything.

"You'll stand up to me again, just to protect everyone here?" Duo asked.

"I'll do whatever it takes to stop you!" MegaMan screamed.

Duo's head rose up even further as if to come crashing down on MegaMan.

"Duo Battle Body Activate!" Duo's head shouted before suddenly a huge chest section flashed below and connected with him. Soon after, a giant mechanical appendage appeared as his right arm, and after that came his left arm.

All put together, Duo's body was colossal in size. MegaMan also remembered how difficult it was defeating him the first time. Tensing up, MegaMan lifted his Buster again and aimed for the big diamond on Duo's chest.

The blast didn't even make a scratch. MegaMan's fear was starting to become apparent.

He doubted that he could defeat Duo this time. So out of desperation, he did the only thing he could think to do as a last resort...

"Geo!!! Help!!!"

"Do you hear that?" Omega-Xis observed. Geo was zoned out thinking about Sonia and being in space.

"Huh?" Geo asked as he shook his head, returning from his thoughts. "What do you want to do, Mega?"

"Let's go in there and go buck wild!" Omega-Xis shouted as his Wizard body formed beside Geo. His claws raised and he swiped at the air in front of him, pretending he was fighting Duo.

Geo pulled out his Satella Verification card again and Omega-Xis returned to the Hunter-VG. Geo shouted out as he swiped the card through the Hunter-VG.

"Transcode! Mega Man!"

The newly EM Wave Changed Mega Man stood a the computer and looked into the screen. Suddenly Geo remembered something.

"Wait, Mega! Didn't he say something about a firewall that we couldn't get through?" Geo asked.

"I know," Omega-Xis stated. "But what else can we do? He needs our help!"

Geo and Omega-Xis suddenly felt something warm inside them, their minds synchronizing and a mysterious voice told them to jack into the computer anyway. Geo stood back, crazy for trusting the voice, but also confident in himself. If this doesn't work, he knew Lan was in trouble. He just decided to go for it.

Omega-Xis shouted this time as they ran towards the computer. "Jack in!"

The pointed insignia on Geo's chest glowed white just as the Hunter-VG did when Omega-Xis shared his space with MegaMan. Their body turned into data and they were downloaded into Lan's computer.

Geo and Omega-Xis both were stunned. For the first time, they had just jacked in to the digital world of the Internet. But as astounded as they were, they could see Duo at the back of the area and MegaMan fighting for his life.

Walking up to the fight before them, Geo stood amazed at the colossal robot that was so easily destroying MegaMan right in front of him.

Again Geo and Omega-Xis felt the warmth again inside of them and heard the voice.

"Save him..."

"Geo, have you been hearing that too?" Omega-Xis asked him.

"Yeah, it's really strange," replied Geo. "Do you think we should fight?"

Omega-Xis looked back at MegaMan, who was currently being squeezed by Duo's gigantic right hand.

"I don't think we have a choice if we want to save him," Omega-Xis stated.

"What should we do?" Geo asked. It was directed towards Omega-Xis and himself. He was afraid and confused.

"Well, first you should man up, Geo," Omega-Xis exhaled disappointedly, sensing his doubt. "Fear isn't gonna win this fight. And it surely won't save him." Omega-Xis dragged Geo's hand up to point at MegaMan, who's dangling legs fighting to live suddenly went limp inside Duo's crunching hand.

"MegaMan!" Both of them shouted as they ran up closer to Duo, who quickly looked down at them.

"And just who are you?" Duo's voice made Geo shudder. How could he face an enemy who was that strong?

"We're the guys who's gonna kick your butt!" Omega-Xis shouted at Duo, who looked surprised at the talking left hand that is the face of Omega-Xis.

"You're a fool if you think that you can protect your friend here," Duo's voice trembled the entire area before he threw MegaMan far over his shoulder like a crumpled piece of paper. Geo gasped as he heard MegaMan grunt as he hit the ground hard, making a puff of smoke rise up around him.

"Geo, let's teach this thing a lesson!" Omega-Xis boiled, his veins pulsing stronger as he thought about turning this hunk of metal into scrap iron.

Geo could sense Omega-Xis' urge to fight. He could feel the OOPArts inside him responding to the extreme need to fight. Problem was the fact that Geo couldn't tell which of the three OOPArts would activate.

But then, he realized what was about to happen. He smiled, and let his own urge to fight take over.

"Do you think you can defeat us as easily? You don't seem to understand that we are stronger. Our bonds of friendship make us invincible! Do you honestly think you can take us on? Just try!"

With those last two words, their body glowed yellow and a stream of green smoke surrounded them. An explosion of fire covered the area where they stood and blinded Duo for a moment.

When all of the colors cleared away, Duo looked into the eyes of the Tribe King. Geo and Omega-Xis smirked as they looked down to see the insignia below them. A circle depicting the symbols for all three OOPArts. The Light Sword, the Dino Rock, and the Wind Star. It glowed below them and surged with power.

The insignia soon faded, a source of proof that the Tribe King once stood there, but Geo couldn't help but charge towards Duo, swinging his blade around in a frenzy. As he stood right in front of Duo, Omega-Xis held the sword up high, and Geo shouted out the call for a Link Force Big Bang.

"Thunderbolt Blade!"

He swung the blade to the left and right, those sharp swipes alone dealt damage to Duo, then the power given to him by those words allowed him to jump up with his sword held high and charge up immense amounts of electricity, almost more than the sword could handle by itself. Crashing the sword down onto Duo, the force radiating from the blade caused the ground to shake and explode in a show of lightning and energy. Duo's helmet cracked slightly, but the damage suffered was not enough to defeat him.

"Darn it! I thought that would be enough!" Omega-Xis shouted in anger.

"This time, we'll give him all we've got. Ready for your Saurian attack, Mega?" Geo smiled.

"I was waiting for you to say that!" Omega-Xis cheered.

Geo held Omega-Xis to his side, charging up a ball of fire inside him until it was almost ready to explode before they were ready. Omega-Xis summoned all the flaming energy he had, and he was ready to send it all Duo's way. They were excited that the fight would be over. Swinging Omega-Xis towards the opposite side of his body, Geo called out another Link Force Big Bang.

"G Blazer!"

A roaring blast of flames began flowing from the mouth of Omega-Xis and became a streaming laser of fire. Geo had a hard time aiming the firing blast towards Duo, but slowly he turned his body to line up the beam of flame. Powerful and destructive, the blast waved over Duo and towards the opposite side of Geo's body before the beam could lose energy and vanish. The diamond on Duo's chest was now cracked, but he was still alive and strong.

"You've gotta be kidding me!!!" Omega-Xis screamed in fury. "One more attack! It's time for the breaker!"

"But that would use up all our energy, Mega! What if he survives that too?" Geo pointed out.

"I don't care! Just do it! He won't survive. I just know it!"

Geo grabbed his blade more firmly now, since his grasp was loosened with the last attack. Drawing a triangle in the air with his sword, he called out his signature Link Force Big Bang.

"Czar Delta Breaker!"

The triangle that was drawn became three golden lines. At each tip there was the symbol that represented the three OOPArts. At the top, the Light Sword's symbol glowed yellow, as the Zerker Tribe's power shown through. At the left was the Wind Star, glowing green as only the Ninja Tribe would. And at the right, the strength of the Saurian Tribe made the Dino Rock glow red.

The triangle of the Tribes began spinning, and suddenly a gigantic blast of energy, colored with all the colors of the ancient Tribes, burst out directly at Duo. The blast looked like a swirling mass of triangles itself, and piece by piece Duo's armor was being destroyed by the impact.

The blast seemed to last forever, though Geo and Omega-Xis were relieved after it was over. True to Geo's words, the attack left them tired and with barly enough energy to even stand up.

And true to Omega-Xis' words, Duo's half-gone and rusted head lay before them. Duo was completely destroyed by the blast, and Geo was glad. They collapsed backwards, and the blade disappeared along with the rest of their armor. The Tribe King's power was spent, and they just layed back exhausted.

When they rested for a few minutes, enough to be able to walk at least, they found MegaMan also collapsed where Duo threw him.

"What can we do to help him?" asked Omega-Xis.

"I think I know a way," said Geo as he searched through his Items and found exactly what he was looking for.

"Here. DeluxeEnergy," Geo told MegaMan as he used it on him. Lines of energy flowed around him, and MegaMan felt rejuvenated. Standing up, MegaMan looked over at the remains of Duo, and he was amazed at their power.

"Geo," MegaMan spoke, "thank you."

"Heh, it was no big deal!" Omega-Xis smirked, trying to steal some glory for himself.

Alright, got another couple parts done. Wrote a little of the 8th part, but won't upload it until it's finished.

Part 6: Forgotten Troubles

Back in the real world, Geo looked over at Lan, thinking that all the danger was over.

However, Lan was still on the ground near his bed, holding his head out of pain. Geo ran over to him and kneeled down.

"Lan! Why aren't you back to normal? I fixed the computer!" Geo yelled, but he knew that Lan would not be able to hear him.

"Computer..." Lan mumbled, his voice barely audible now.

"What computer could he be talking about?" Omega-Xis asked Geo.

"You're right, Mega," Geo beamed. "Maybe he doesn't mean this computer!"

"Guys, have you ever tried thinking the way a criminal would?" MegaMan buzzed from inside the PET, now hooked to Geo's pocket. "Whoever did this was smart."

"Hmm," Geo thought to himself. "Think the way a criminal would..."

"I got it!" Omega-Xis shouted abruptly. "Geo, I know what computer he's talking about!"

"What do you mean, Mega?" Geo questioned.

"Do you realize that we weren't affected?" Omega-Xis explained. "He knows that we get stronger with noise! He left us out of it so that we wouldn't interfere!"

"So what's that got to do with where the computer is?" Geo wondered out loud.

"I know what he's getting at!" MegaMan shouted. "Once you guys figured out what was happening, you'd both be running around worried and trying to find what caused it, but you'd be too blind to realize that the whole time..."

"...you've passed right by it! It's inside the computer in your own room!"

Once the reality set in, Geo bolted out the door as fast as he possibly could, stopping only to run back and grab the PET off of Lan's bed. It just might be useful to have MegaMan around later.

As he tried to open up the door to his house, he quickly realized that the door was locked. On top of that, jiggling the door only created a sound that Geo knew was something blocking the door as well.

Someone didn't want him inside now that he was out.

"I don't have time for this!" Geo grew angry now that he knew the plan. He had to stop this from getting any worse.

"We'll have to pulse in and head through the antenna," Omega-Xis told Geo, sounding just as angry.

"Fine, as long as we hurry!" Geo shouted as he pulled out his Satella Verification card.

"Transcode! Mega Man!"

Running around to the side of his house, Geo pulsed in through the Wave Station nearby. On top of the Wave Road, Geo and Omega-Xis ran as fast as they could around the bent walkway, where they knew they would soon be in range to trans in and get to the house's Wave Roads. Though, just as they neared the end of the Wave Road to his house, Geo spotted a Jammer near the access point.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Geo yelled. "Now this?"

"Heh heh heh..." hissed the Jammer. "You'll never get by me..."

Suddenly, the Jammer held his arms out above his head and his body glowed. Growing twice his original size and becoming JammerG, it laughed an evil laugh that made Geo's spine shiver. But even though it was creepy, Geo and Omega-Xis had a job to do as Mega Man.

They had to destroy this JammerG!

Part 7: One Of Many

Bullets were flying, they were fighting as hard as they could. The JammerG was a towering foe, big enough to squeeze the life out of them in one arm, but Geo and Omega-Xis had to take him down. They've done it in their adventures before, they can do it again.

Standing far away from the JammerG, Geo concentrated into charging his power into Omega-Xis, hoping that a charged Buster shot will do enough damage. After waiting only a few seconds, Omega-Xis' mouth glowed and Geo knew that the charge was ready. Holding Omega-Xis towards the JammerG, he let the charged blast rocket out of his mouth and flying into the enemy at the end of the Wave Road. The JammerG simply laughed so hard that he began coughing.

Vanishing, the JammerG flashed behind Mega Man and slammed his giant fist down right onto Mega Man, pounding his body into the now-broken road. The JammerG snickered and vanished again, laughing loudly at him in front of his house, guarding the access point as he had done before.

Geo cringed in pain as he stood up. The only motivation pushing him forward is the thought of saving everyone. He wanted to help everybody, but he couldn't help anyone, because this JammerG was getting in his way!

"Tribe on! Ninja!"

Geo and Omega-Xis shouted together, in perfect synch with each other. Green gas suddenly enveloped them, and out of the sky flies a giant shuriken. Mega Man leaps to catch it from the sky, then rolls on the ground to soften his fall. Standing up, Mega Man thrust his shuriken out in front of him and let the light shine off of it, right into the eyes of the JammerG.

"Demon Flurry!"

Mega Man's body flashed and clones appeared all around him, dozens of ninjas jumping high into the air and whipping multiple shurikens directly at the JammerG. The sharp rain of the ninja weapons tore apart the armor of the JammerG and he screamed in pain. Unable to stand any more, the JammerG pulsed out as fast as possible before he was deleted by the assault.

Flashing back out of Tribe Mode, Geo heard Omega-Xis laugh to himself.

"How pathetic."

Running towards the access point, Geo realized that he lost a lot of time fighting that JammerG. He reached the end of the Wave Road and jumped inside the access point to his house.

Faster and faster, Geo wanted to keep running through the Wave Road inside his house as fast as possible to stop the pain everybody was in. The longer he took, the more pain it would cause. Looking down from the Wave Road, he saw his parents writhing on the ground again. His mother, Hope, was grasping her head and screaming louder than ever. His father, Kelvin, was grasping the ground and looking straight up to the roof, his eyes bulging as if he accepted it, accepted that he was going to either go permanently deaf or die.

"Hang in there," whispered Geo, running faster.

Bursting through the entrance to his room, Geo saw his computer and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can finally fix everything. It'll all be over soon."

And then he realized that something was standing in front of his computer, blocking them from getting to it.

"Hey, Geo!" Omega-Xis seemed a little shocked. "Is that Magnes?"

"That's Spade Magnes," Geo corrected. "Wood Ninja would have been helpful to beat him, but I already used it. I can't Tribe On into it again."

"You don't need to," Omega-Xis whispered. "Listen!"

Geo slowed his breathing and listened hard to anything that would have caught Omega-Xis' attention. Hearing nothing for the first few seconds, Geo was about to give up and question what Omega-Xis heard, but then it happened.

That familiar fizz and crackle.

"That's a Noise Wave!" Geo tryed his best to whisper, but that exclamation was enough to draw the attention of Spade Magnes. Staring directly into Geo's eyes, Spade Magnes floated high up on his Gravity ball and landed on the Wave Road blocking Geo's path.

"Great, he's here," Omega-Xis groaned. "But where is that Noise Wave? Is there one in your room?"

"I didn't think so," Geo told him. "Wait! If they messed with my computer, then that must mean they opened the Noise Wave there!"

"We have to stop it, but we have to get past him too," Omega-Xis explained. "Is that crackle enough Noise for a wood form, Geo?"

"I... think so," Geo hesitated slightly, not knowing if there was actually enough Noise for this to work.

"Wolf Noise Form!"

Mega Man's armor morphed and changed into armor that resembled Wolf Woods, an EM Wave Change for Damien Wolfe, a friend that Geo enjoyed fighting all through his adventures.

Spade Magnes became slightly intimidated, since his electric body was weak against wood-elemental forms, and Wolf Noise was exactly that. But then he realized he had nothing to worry about. Even though Mega Man was in Wolf Noise Form, there wasn't enough Noise for him to go Vibrant. There was no elemental affiliation while Mega Man wasn't in Vibrant Noise form, so Spade Magnes could relax and delete him before he becomes a threat.

"Great, we couldn't go Vibrant, meaning this is useless!" Geo shouted, a bit frustrated.

"Not quite, we just have to get closer to the computer or something," Omega-Xis stated. "Anything to get more Noise!"

"If only we could," Geo thought hard about a plan to get closer to the computer, but he couldn't think of anything.

"Just goes to show you're not thinking," Omega-Xis mocked Geo. "Think long and hard about Spade Magnes."

"What about him?" Geo asked, confused.

"Ugh," Omega-Xis grunted in mock-disgust, laughing afterwards though. "How did Magnes turn into Spade Magnes?"

That's when it hit Geo. "With a Noise Card!"

"Exactly," Omega-Xis confirmed. "We just have to find a way to extract it from him."

"I think I know how..." Geo spoke confidently, a plan stirring in his head.

"Ophiuca Noise Form!"

Mega Man's armor now melted from Wolf Noise and resembled Queen Ophiuca instead, goddess of snakes.

"Why'd you do that, Geo?" Omega-Xis questioned. "We were fine as Wolf Noise!"

"Gorgon Eye!" Geo shouted.

From his eyes, a bright red beam appeared and blasted down the Wave Road towards Spade Magnes, blowing apart his gravity ball and deleting him before he could defend himself. Laying on the Wave Road in his place was a small red card, the Noise Card of Spade Magnes.

"Nice!" Omega-Xis chuckled. "Great job! Now we can use his Noise Card."

"But won't it mess with us and make us go berserk like it did with all the others?" Geo asked, concerned.

"Not while we have the program that Ace gave us!" Omega-Xis exclamed. "With that, we can control the Noise from overwhelming us! And with this Noise Card, we'll be able to go Vibrant whenever we want!"

Picking up the Noise Card and storing it away for later, Mega Man dropped down from the Wave Road and reached out to grab his computer.

On his chest, Mega Man's insignia began glowing and he heard the same robotic voice that his Hunter-VG has.

"NOISE WAVE DETECTED."

"...ACCESSED!"

The Noise Wave buzzed and fizzled, opening to create a large portal leading inside it.

"So then let's go!" Omega-Xis was excited. Geo walked into the portal and Mega Man dissolved into bits of Noise, flying inside the portal.

Part 8: Dark Liberation

Section Pending...

Final two sections! Story finished!

Part 8: Dark Liberation

Inside the Noise Wave, Geo noticed the ground was much different than that of a regular Noise Wave. Blocky and grid-like, the whole area looked like a game board full of different panels. Mega Man was standing on one square, and a few spaces in front of him were the first of many panels that looked darker than the rest.

The darker squares looked like they were made of a mixture of flowing tar and poisonous acid. The hazardous liquid bubbled and both Geo and Omega-Xis could sense that something wasn't right about those panels.

Something wasn't right about this place in general.

"Where are we?" asked Geo to himself, but Omega-Xis overheard him.

"No idea," replied Omega-Xis, looking around.

Suddenly three glowing white orbs shot out of the sky and impaled Mega Man, absorbing themselves into his chest, making Geo gasp and sweat a little bit fom fear.

"What were those round things?" asked Geo, his voice trembling slightly. "This is getting creepy."

The armor around Mega Man's boots glowed and turned gold, becoming part of the scenario, restricting Mega Man's movement and making sure he'll only be moving in the directions of the game board.

Up, down. Left, right. "With only this movement," Geo thought, "battles are gonna be the real challenge."

"Everything here will be a challenge! Heh heh heh..." mocked a voice from above, a voice that Geo couldn't recognize.

"Sounds like that's the villain we're after. Mega, do you know who's voice that is?" asked Geo.

"Who knows?" responded Omega-Xis. "It doesn't sound familiar."

"Great," Geo clenched his teeth at the thought of fighting an unknown enemy.

"So how do we find this guy?" Omega-Xis asked.

"You liberate the board," MegaMan zapped out of the PET and appeared next to Geo and Omega-Xis in a beam of light. Geo couldn't figure out how MegaMan could be inside the Noise Wave like him, since the only beings that could be inside the Noise Wave were other EM Wave Beings, but he decided to ignore it since Geo remembered how he was inside the CompArea once, and MegaMan's presence may be helpful anyway.

"So how do we liberate it?" Geo asked.

"See those dark panels?" MegaMan pointed to the flowing panels that Geo and Omega-Xis noticed earlier. "Delete the viruses inside of them to make them disappear. Eventually you'll clear a path to the boss of this area."

"So then," Omega-Xis started to say, "if you know so much, what were them white orbs that flew down at us?"

"Oh, do you mean Order Points?" MegaMan asked. "Those make the game much more helpful by allowing you to use your liberation power."

"What do you mean by liberation power?" Geo questioned.

"Here's what I mean," MegaMan began, before running up to the first set of dark panels. A long line blocking the only narrow path forward. Five panels total.

"Long Sword!" MegaMan shouted, causing one of the three glowing orbs to fly out of Geo's chest and into him instead. Two of the panels in front of MegaMan glowed, and a Mettaur virus rose up from each panel.

MegaMan swung a sword forward, hitting both panels at the same time, and he deleted both viruses at the same time! The two dark panels flashed, then the darkness covering them disappeared completely, allowing them to finally walk across the newly liberated panels.

MegaMan turned around to talk to Geo and Omega-Xis. "Usually, you can only liberate one panel at a time. Liberation powers make it much easier, though."

"So we can only liberate two panels at a time with a liberation power?" asked Omega-Xis, in a tone of voice that didn't sound too impressed.

"That's the great part," MegaMan smiled. "This is only the liberation ability of my normal armor."

"What do you mean?" Geo asked.

"Well," started MegaMan, "see how you're currently in that form?"

Geo forgot that he was still in Ophiuca Noise form.

"Try using your liberation ability on the remaining three panels," MegaMan concluded.

Geo walked up the panels and stood in front of them. "So what do I do now?"

"Just try out your liberation power," MegaMan laughed.

"Um... ok..." Geo hesitated. "Liberation power!"

Suddenly the three panels in front of him glowed and a SmileCoin virus rose up from each of the three panels. Dozens of tiny snakes appeared in front of Geo and ran forward, destroying the first SmileCoin, then the next two in order. When all the viruses were destroyed, the panels flashed and the darkness dissolved, opening up the passage to them.

"What was that?" Omega-Xis interrupted. "That was awesome!"

"So, I guess you liked that little snake charming move you did there? Good job!" MegaMan gave a thumbs up.

"Hey, what's that box over there?" Geo pointed at the open square which the newly-liberated path led to.

Running over to it, MegaMan stopped Geo from touching it.

MegaMan explained, "This is an Order Panel."

"So move!" yelled Omega-Xis. "Let's crack it open!"

"Not yet," MegaMan spoke calmly. "Soon though. We still have an Order Point left. Let's make the most out of this."

"What the heck are you talking about?" said an annoyed Omega-Xis.

"This panel refills our Order Points," MegaMan began describing. "We can hold eight Order Points. We still have one, so let's use it before we grab this. That way we won't be wasting a perfectly good Order Point."

"Fine!" snarled Omega-Xis. "Where's the next dark panel?"

Geo looked around until he found a square cluster of seven dark panels arranged in an upside-down U, also blocking their way through. "Over there!"

"Great," Omega-Xis breathed. "Now let's hurry up and bust through them!"

"No, wait!" MegaMan shouted as he watched Geo run over to the cluster and stand in front of the lone panel. Even though they were surrounded by the other dark panels, Geo figured that the easiest way to get through would be attacking this one panel.

"He said we could liberate a panel without using Order Points, right?" Geo asked.

"Yeah, now let's go buck wild!" Omega-Xis shouted.

"Liberate!"

Suddenly, Gunner viruses rose up from all the surrounding panels and shot at Geo until they were out of bullets. Geo's health dropped so low that he was near deletion, so he ran away from the liberation and back to MegaMan.

"What..." Geo had to catch his breath, pain shot all through him, "was... that?"

"You ran into trouble without thinking," MegaMan seemed to look down on Geo.

"Give us a break," Omega-Xis spoke up. "We're trying as hard as we can to save everyone!"

"But you ran in without thinking about what could happen," MegaMan spoke rather calmly. "Here, let me take care of it."

Another Order Point shot out of Geo's chest and into MegaMan as he shouted. "GyroSoul!"

Then, he ran over to the Order Panel and activated it, giving them four Order Points each. Transforming into a helicopter, MegaMan flew over and hovered above the panel that Geo was just attempting to liberate.

"Bomb Liberation!"

A hatch opened under MegaMan and bombs dropped down onto the panel, immediately liberating it. Geo stood in awe as the dark panel was so effortlessly dealt with and the path was opened.

Transforming back into his normal self, MegaMan ran over back to Geo and Omega-Xis.

"You have to think before you charge into things," chuckled MegaMan.

"Well," started Omega-Xis, "maybe if you stopped us before..."

"I tried, remember?" MegaMan interrupted, and Omega-Xis quieted down. Continuing, MegaMan added "Though, every time you change forms, it costs an Order Point as well, so don't think you can just change to whatever form suits you better."

And with that, Geo and MegaMan kept going, fighting and liberating dark panel after dark panel, working their way around the game board.

"So, you finally made it to us..."

As Geo looked down the row that still blocked them from getting to the end, two figures looked back and showed their face.

ElecMan and VideoMan, working together on the machine that was causing all the pain out in the Real World.

"Who are they?" asked Omega-Xis.

"That's ElecMan and VideoMan," MegaMan explained. "I don't know why they're working together, but it can't be good."

"So what do we do?" asked Geo.

"Well, obviouly we can't get to them now," MegaMan said as he pointed at the row of dark panels still in front of them. "So let's get rid of these first."

"We have three Order Points," Omega-Xis spoke up. "Should be easy."

"Should," whispered MegaMan as he grabbed one. "Look at that last panel."

Looking over, Geo and Omega-Xis noticed a small square sticking out of the darkness.

"That's a trap panel," stated MegaMan. "I'll help you deal with it. Shadow Soul!"

The Order Point disapeared, and in the form of ShadowMan, MegaMan ran across the dark panels and leaped over the trap panel to the other side.

"You can't just leave us here!" screamed Omega-Xis.

"So you decided to take us on alone," smirked ElecMan. "Then bring it!"

ElecMan shot a bolt of lightning into VideoMan, which zoomed through his recording tape and VideoMan shot the bolt out of his hand in Fast Forward. Hitting MegaMan with immense force, it brought him to his knees.

"No," groaned MegaMan. "I won't be taken down so easily. Meddy Soul!"

An Order Point shot out of Geo's chest and into MegaMan, transforming his armor to resemble Meddy, the healing Navi.

"Geo, you have to liberate the first panel on that side when I use this last Order Point," MegaMan breathed. "If you don't, we're done for. Twin Liberation!"

The panel in front of MegaMan and the panel in front of Geo lit up. A Skully virus appeared from Geo's panel, pulled its hand back and threw a bone at Geo, slapping him in the face.

Omega-Xis busted out laughing.

"Shut up, Mega," Geo fumed. "Big Drop!"

Out of the sky, a giant totem-shaped rock fell directly onto the Skully virus, crushing it and deleting it instantly. Quick and effective, since Geo was in a bad mood now.

On MegaMan's end, another Skully virus was summoned. Down on the ground, MegaMan couldn't do much, but he knew a few chips that he knew would kill it instantly.

"Justice One..." groaned MegaMan.

From out of the sky, a humongous metallic fist slowly made its descent like a heavenly figure. Gaining speed and becoming engulfed in flames from its entrance, it slammed down in the Skully virus and caused the entire area to quake, cracking the panels around the point of impact.

The panels at each end of the row flashed and then spread to every panel inbetween, liberating them all at the same time. The darkness vanished and Geo was able to run over and help MegaMan rise to his feet with a Recov300.

"Looks like you made it through," chuckled VideoMan from behind them. "But you'll never make it past us!"

"Are you ready to show them what we're made of?" ElecMan asked.

"You know it..." murmured VideoMan, flaring out his arms.

Suddenly, two rolls of video tape flew out from behind VideoMan and arc towards Geo and MegaMan, damaging them both before rolling back up behind the boss.

ElecMan took that opportunity to flash behind Geo and slice him with an ElecSword. Flashing back to his original position beside VideoMan, he charged up the conductors attached to his back. Aiming his hand at VideoMan, he let loose the built-up electricity attack, flooding VideoMan with electrical power.

VideoMan lifted his hands up and a red aura appeared around himself and ElecMan.

"Fast Forward!"

VideoMan and ElecMan gained speed and ran all around the area. They had even become too fast for a lock-on attack to be effective.

VideoMan flashed behind them both and pointed his hand beside MegaMan. Suddenly a big roll of video tape appeared and started spinning rapidly, making a horrible screeching noise and damaging MegaMan repeatedly.

"MegaMan!" shouted Geo. "Hang in there!"

ElecMan appeared far in front of Geo, but when Omega-Xis discovered the lightning rod behind them, it was obvious why ElecMan was so far away.

They barely dodged the attack.

"How are we supposed to beat them?" asked Geo, grabbing his side in pain. "They're too fast!"

"I don't kn... Wait!" Omega-Xis shouted abruptly. "That tape roll is still spinning!"

"I know that," Geo stated, "but we have to stop it to save MegaMan!"

"Wait," Omega-Xis repeated. "It's helping us!"

"What are you talking about, Mega?" asked Geo.

"It's giving off a lot of Noise!" spouted Omega-Xis.

"Huh?" Geo mumbled, listening closely to the spinning tape. "Oh! It really is! Enough to Finalize?"

"More than enough," confirmed Omega-Xis.

"Then let's do exactly that." Geo smiled.

"Finalize!"

Crimson Noise began swirling around Geo and Omega-Xis as Mega Man, their armor changing and morphing into something much more powerful. Encasing themselves in solid Noise, they created a cocoon around themselves that was about to crack and reveal one of their most powerful forms.

"Red Joker!" They shouted as the cocoon shattered.

The blood-colored armor had transformed Geo and Omega-Xis, and as Mega Man they became Red Joker. A couple of Noise Disks appeared out of thin air and placed themselves behind Geo's shoulder blades, completing the crimson armor of Red Joker and filling them with immense power.

"Looks cool," snickered ElecMan, "but you're no match for us! Electro Barrier!"

Raising his arms, a forcefield made of lightning formed around himself, but excluding VideoMan.

Mega Man fired bullets repeatedly into the barrier, hoping to break it. Powered up by the effects of Red Joker, his buster was stronger and faster than it's ever been, but it still wasn't enough to damage the barrier. Even after thousands of bullets, he never even gave it a scratch.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Geo asked.

"The Meteor Server should have something that could help us," Omega-Xis reminded him.

"Oh yeah," Geo exhaled. "Access!"

A red circle of light appeared under him and created a beam straight towards the sky, extending out of the Noise Wave and into space, connecting Red Joker's power to the galactic strength of the cosmos. His insignia spoke again in the same robotic voice as before.

"STAR FORCE SERVER ACCESS."

Time stopped around Geo and Omega-Xis. The pictures of dozens of battlecards appeared in front of Geo's eyes, swirling around his body, showing him the power at his disposal.

"Geo, look at all these powerful cards!" Omega-Xis gasped. "Stronger than anything you could use normally."

"I know," Geo smiled as he touched the pictures of multiple cards, becoming equipped with the armor shown and preparing himself to release the attacks given to him. And finally, he selected his special attack, which just activating it made his body glow red.

"Are you ready for this, Mega?"

Snapping his fingers, the battlecards disappeared and time returned to normal.

"So you got yourself some gear I see," VideoMan joked to himself. "Doesn't matter, since we'll just..."

Geo interrupted him by unleashing his arsenal, complete with Version-3 Mega cards like Yeti Blizzard, plus a few Giga cards, one of which was Destroy Missle. VideoMan, who wasn't inside ElecMan's barrier, was quickly deleted before he could defend himself.

Becoming slightly scared, ElecMan created another Electro Barrier to encase the barrier already up.

"Try to attack me now!" ElecMan mock-laughed.

Geo simply used a couple Break Sabre cards he had chosen, specifically to remove the barrier that ElecMan had created. Demolishing the two barriers, Geo quickly used his special attack before ElecMan had time to create yet another barrier.

Charging up a crimson energy in his hand, watching the two Noise Disks on his back fly out from behind him, Geo shouted out the name of the attack that would end this battle for good.

"Red Gaia Eraser!"

Throwing his hand out in front of him, the crimson energy of the Red Gaia Eraser blasted forward, tearing up the armor of ElecMan's unshielded body and making him drop to his knees. Pointing directly at ElecMan, the Noise Disks swirled around him while simultaneously unleashing a similar crimson blast as Geo did, severely damaging ElecMan and Geo watched him drop to the ground exhausted.

"I... I can still... fight..." ElecMan whispered.

Geo's attack wasn't finished yet, though. The panels under ElecMan glowed red, impacted by so much of the crimson energy and pressure from the long-lasting blasts. Individual explosions of the panels merged into a humongous explosion of energy below him, engulfing the entire area around him in a ball of light and flames, deleting him with intense power.

All that was left was the crumbled ground where ElecMan once stood. The battle was over, but the machine wasn't destroyed. Geo brought up the Meteor Server again and chose the perfect attack for the job.

Spinning around in a tornado-like dance, Geo called out an attack that could easily destroy the machine.

"Dynamic Wave!"

Three humongous tidal waves rose up from the ground in front of him, destroying the machine and allowing the broken parts to wash away with the stream.

The shadows of the three Satellite Administrators appeared in front of the Geo and the collapsed MegaMan. Shadow Pegasus revived MegaMan in an icy healing aura, allowing him to realize that Geo deleted both of the navis by himself. Looking back at the Satellite Administrator Shadows, MegaMan sensed just how powerful they were, and wondered how Geo could be so calm in their presence.

The shadow of Leo Kingdom walked forward.

"Geo," Leo's voice boomed throughout the Noise Wave as if the sound was coming from everywhere at once, "and of course, Omega-Xis and MegaMan. You all have played an important role in saving the lives of everyone back in the real world."

Geo exhaled in relief at knowing his family, along with everyone else, was finally saved.

The shadow of Dragon Sky now stretched forward, his massive head looking down at them, almost staring into their souls.

"However," as he spoke, supernatural wind blasted off his body, making Geo and MegaMan step forward to keep from being pushed back at the ferocity of the wind. "Your journey is not finished yet. There are still problems that will arise and new enemies that you must face."

The shadow of Pegasus Magic now stepped forward, making the air around Geo and MegaMan slightly colder simply from the close proximity of the icy deity.

"Though, for now," as he spoke, the cold air made Geo shiver, "you both should rest up and prepare yourselves for the problems to come."

"Geo," Leo Kingdom inserted, "with your strength, and Omega-Xis by your side, you have without a doubt proven yourself stronger than the navi, MegaMan."

Geo and Omega-Xis smiled at that comment.

"However," the flames from the breath of Leo Kingdom heated up the icy air, returning it to normal. "You must not consider yourself better than MegaMan in any way. As this endeavor has proven, you need his knowledge and versatility as much as he needs your strength."

"Therefore," Dragon Sky's shadow spoke up this time. "Your teamwork is your biggest advantage. In the future, when new enemies show their faces, we can only hope that you two have trained and learned from each other if you plan on defeating these enemies."

"So, we'll say this as we take our leave," the icy chill of Pegasus Magic returned. "Where one of you is weak, the other is strong. Learn from each other and train hard. Earth needs your skills, so you must unite to defeat the upcoming threats."

The shadows of the three Satellite Administrators faded away and all became silent.

MegaMan jacked out, and Geo pulsed out.

Epilogue: Mysterious Figures

Back in the real world, everybody was coming down from the pain caused by ElecMan's and VideoMan's noise. MegaMan explained everything to Lan, and both of them thanked Geo and Omega-Xis for their bravery and for saving everyone, including them!

"Couldn't have done it if MegaMan hadn't shown us what to do," Geo said, in a humble manner.

"So what now?" asked Omega-Xis as Geo and Lan paced through the park in front of the Big Wave Shop.

"You two can come with us!" Two mysterious voices called out far behind them, voices that hadn't been heard in a while.

Geo and Lan looked over their shoulders, noticing two people that made them gasp.

Mayl and Sonia had also become friends as Geo and Lan had. The two girls were skipping along towards them, shouting out to invite them on a trip to Nacy's. Lan's hand grasped Mayl's hand, and Geo's grabbed Sonia's hand. They waited at the bus stop until the Wave Liner showed up.

Before getting on the Wave Liner, Lan and Geo looked at each other and smiled.

It was going to be a great day.
