Chapter 27- Lightning Striking Part 1
Dragge was the first to enter the ruins still with Trigger on his mind. When everyone was there though, he turned his attention straight to finding the key and quickly.
"Listen, we only have thirteen days left until Elysium hits Terra. That's enough time for us to get the key, return to the Flutter to relax, go to Elysium to return the key, then kick the heck out of Nemesis's butt. Let's move out guys." Dragge said not even looking at them.
They group started their trek through the ruin which they would find out later was the largest ruin they have come across. The elemental reverbots here were electric.
Dragge was calm while leading the group. At certain points, he would send one of the men down a dark corridor to make sure there weren't any ambushes waiting for them. if the person was attacked, Dragge ordered the rest of the men to head in with him to eliminate the threat.
Those who didn't know Dragge might have thought that he was a general in the army or something along those lines.
The Elysians came to a totally dark corridor where the only thing that they saw was a pair of reverbot eyes. Then, many more appeared as if the reaverbots knew they needed the last of the keys.
"Son of a gun!" Drifter freaked out.
"Dragge, what should we do?" Omega asked.
"We wait." Dragge said with confidence. Dragge showed no emotion on his face.
"If we wait, we'll die." Locomotion said looking at Dragge as if the guy were crazy.
"We WILL wait." Dragge emphasized.
That's what they did. They waited there with their weapons drawn. The reaverbots started charging toward them. Dragge still stood there not moving or saying anything at all.
The reaverbots came closer while Dragge did nothing.
"Uh, Dragge. I don't mean to rush you or anything, but should we attack?" Juno asked.
"Not yet." Dragge said letting his buster activate. He stood there for just a few more moments. He started to move forward and signaled for the guys to not move.
The bullets hit him and he kept walking to them. He said only one word to the guys that they've been waiting for, for about thirty minutes. "Attack." Dragge said silently.
The Elysians ran to the reaverbots and started attacking them like mad. The amount of reaverbots was insanely huge. It seemed to be an infinite amount. After a few hours of striking down reaverbots, just to have another take its place, they finished them all off.
"Why did you have us wait?" Tim asked.
"They were too far away. By the time we would have reached them, we would have been out of energy." Dragge said looking at the group he had total control over.
"Let's go. We wasted about another full day fighting off the reaverbots as usual. We need to get to the reaverbot and take him out." Bola said landing on the ground. "This is the last ruin and we don't know what to expect from the master reaverbot."
"Bola's right." Locomotion said looking at his GPS. "We don't have much longer to go. Maybe another couple of miles."
"Let's go." Dragge said signaling forward. He knew that this reaverbot wouldn't give up its prize. They had to strike first. Make sure they moved fast enough.

Chapter 28- Lightning Striking Part 2
The diggers cautiously walked through one of the doors leading to the master reaverbot painted blue instead of the regular orange.
They got inside and as usual, saw nothing. They all started to wander around just to check out the battlefield. Suddenly a large griffin-type reaverbot fell from the ceiling.
"Attack!" Drifter yelled pulling out his sword. Everyone else didn't hesitate for a second and pulled out their weapons. They started shooting the reaverbot but everything was bouncing off of it.
The reaverbot raised into the air with its large wings spread open. It turned into lightning a second later then struck all of them with at least one-hundred volts of pure electricity.
The diggers felt as if they didn't stand a chance and would die. Dragge thought not about himself dieing, but instead Trigger.
"I won't die. If Trigger does, there's no one else to get the final key and save the world. I have to break free." Dragge said to himself straining under the electricity hitting them.
Next thing they knew, the diggers were lying on the ground. They looked up and saw the reaverbot had stopped its attack and saw a new target.
A second later the beast fell back-wards and jumping over it was Trigger himself. He had new armor on instead of the usual armor.
"Trigger. What's with the new armor?" Locomotion asked.
"I knew that in this ruin there would be an electric type reaverbot so I had Roll design armor that could absorb electricity."
The reaverbot got back in the air and tried to shock everyone again but Trigger held out his left hand and caught the lightning. Then from his buster came a strike of lightning a sent the bird to its original state.
"Hit it know before I run out of energy!" Trigger shouted over his back. Everyone jumped at it and started attacking the reaverbot before it got back up.
"That's another thing. The armor absorbs the electricity and it can be sent right back at the reaverbots." Trigger said.
The reaverbot got up and took to the sky shocking everyone but Trigger in the process. It came back from flying and the same thing happened.
After a few more turns at doing that the reaverbot died and spit out the final part of the key.
"Finally." Omega said.
"It feels like we've been doing this forever." Tim said putting his guns away.
The diggers picked up the key and walked back out of the ruins.
"Trigger, are you alright? I mean are you healed all the way?" Dragge asked looking at Trigger.
"All the major cuts are healed but I've still got a few minor ones here and there."
After that the rest of the trip was silent. They got back to the Flutter still in time for dinner. After that they all went to sleep waiting for the next day to come.

Chapter 29- Kattelox Island
Dragge woke up the next morning in his bed and knew that there were only twelve days left before a terrible collision in space.
He got on his armor and walked into the living room and saw everyone except for Trigger.
"Where has Trigger run off to?" Dragge asked.
"He went to go see the mayor of Kattelox."
"I should go catch up with him. See you all later!" Dragge shouted running out the door.
Trigger hadn't gone far for he was still only in the Apple Market. The crowd was enormous. Everyone was eager to see Trigger again for what he did just only two years ago.
Dragge caught with him and asked what was going on.
"Everyone saw the Flutter land this morning and decided to come and greet me." Trigger said waving to a few onlookers.
"Oh Mega Man." said a woman's voice behind him. Trigger spun around to see the grocer and his wife who had a child only two years old.
"Thanks to you, my baby is fine."
"Oh yes, that's right. You named the little guy after me." Trigger said looking at the two year old.
"Yes, we told him about his name and asked where it came from. We can't tell him the whole story at his age but we told him that his name came from a legend."
"It was nice talking and all, but I have to see the rest of the island." Trigger said starting to walk away.
"See you later!" called out the grocer.
"People really like you here Trigger." Dragge said impressed with all the people.
"I helped them out before. That's why."
Trigger then stopped at the Junk Store which has had great success there, that a whole store chain has been put up around the world.
Trigger and Dragge then started their journey to City Hall to greet Amelia.
"It's good to see you again Mega Man." the mayor said with a bright smile on her face.
"IT doesn't look like much has changed since last time."
"There have been numerous changes it's hard to name them all. We discovered a few empty islands in close proximity to Kattelox and put up a high-way system so we could get to them where we have factories to create products."
"Then the buildings in the old city were torn down for houses and a school. We were also able to turn the Clozer Woods into a new section we call Clozer City. There is where we have types of transportation such as an air-port, train-station, we even have hotels for visitors."
"That's amazing." Dragge said.
"That's not all. The police force has been trained to stop pirate invasions. There's also an elite squad of diggers that have formed a group to help police out in tough times." The mayor continued.
"Who does it consist of?" Trigger asked.
"The top commanders of the group are Ira and Art."
"I remember them." Trigger said with a smile on his face. "Ira was the girl in the hospital and Art was the one trying to find out what he could about the island."
"Yes. They have exceptional skills and even opened a school so those who wish to join can become diggers."
"Take us to the squad. We'd love to see them." Dragge said.
"I'd be more than happy to." Amelia said. "Follow me."

Chapter 30- The Elites
The mayor took Trigger and Dragge to the school in Clozer City. They came to a large building which must have been the school.
"We teach all grades here, pre-school through twelfth grade." the mayor said walking straight forward.
"This place is huge." Dragge said in amazement.
"There's a special room for all the diggers to gather anytime during the day. Usually there's only one teaching so the rest either watch the drills or relax."
The three of them entered a room where there were about ten diggers there in armor.
One looked over and immediately shook Trigger's hand.
She looked almost the same as she did two years ago but didn't have the annoying accent. "I told you I'd become a digger like you Mega Man." Ira said.
"It's good to see you again Ira." Mega Man said. "This is my close friend Dragge."
"It's good to meet you Dragge." Ira said shaking Dragge's hand.
"Mega Man." Art said giving Trigger a hug. "It's been a while since you've been here."
"It's good to see you too Art." Trigger said.
"I'll introduce you to everyone." Art said.
Art showed Trigger and Dragge the comrades that they had. It consisted of eleven people at the moment. There was of course Ira and Art. There was the brothers Bob and George. I guy in red armor named Ran. Brace was another of the commanders in the group. The rest were Jim, Axl, Joe, and Aero.
"The teacher is a mysterious guy and his name is Zero." Art said pointing to Zero on a monitor. "And that's our eleven."
"Amazing that even with eleven people you guys have a strong digger team." Dragge said looking at the monitor of the children going through drills and tests.
"I want to meet that Zero person." Trigger said. "I don't know what it is but he looks like he's a high ranked commander."
"He is. Right below me and Art." Ira said.
After watching the children go through tests and struggles, Zero released them to their next class.
"This is Zero's only period of the day to himself so I'll take you down now." Ira said.
Ira and Trigger walked down a hallway and a couple of turns later made it to Zero's class room which held numerous digger techniques and cautions.
"Zero, this is Mega Man. The guy that saved the island years ago." Ira said.
Zero put down his sword and looked up from it. He walked over and shook Trigger's hand. "I've heard so much about you Mega Man."
"Thanks." Trigger said.
"I've always wanted to meet the legend and here I am." Zero said with a smile.
"What is that you have there?" Trigger asked pointing to the weapon.
"The legendary Z-Saber. No one knows where it came from or why it came into my possession."
"It looks powerful." Dragge said looking at it.
"It is. Why just yesterday, I came across a guardian reaverbot, and my sword sliced in two with one swipe. It even scares me." Zero said activating it.
The guys all went on talking for a while before the bell rang for the next period of the day. "Take care you guys! Come in whenever! Maybe help me teach one day!" Zero shouted as the the kids came into class.
Ira, Trigger, and Dragge walked back to the entrance of the school. "You guys are welcome to stay here as long as you want." Ira said.
"Wish we could but we have to save the world from another falling planet in the next eleven days or else all carbons will die." Dragge said looking at the sunset.
"Well, do come back!" Ira said waving to them as they walked off.
"We will!" Trigger shouted back.
"What a great island. It's been along time since either of us were here." Dragge said.
"Yeah, well, we got to keep moving!" Trigger reminded him.
"Think we'll save the world in time?" Dragge asked looking at the sky seeing two moons instead of just one.
"Yeah. We saved the world before remember?" Trigger asked him.
"Yes. The Colonel incident." Dragge said. On the way back to the Flutter neither said another word while staring at the two moons.

Chapter 31- To Space
Omega and Locomotion still had their ship from when they came from Elysium. The group went to the site and powered it up.
With final checks the diggers all boarded the ship and headed off with the key for Elysium.
"So, I think I'll stay after this fight." Drifter said. "We can't have things like this happening all the time and need some more security measures."
Juno, Locomotion, and Omega agreed to stay with him after this battle to come. They arrived after a while of traveling. They got out of the ship inside the docking station.
"Where to?" Trigger asked Locomotion.
"Follow me guys." He said in return.
They walked the path that they had all walked once before. This time there were no reaverbots to try and stop them for they knew they were all deactivated and could never return.
The group reached Drifter's house and got to the very bottom.
"There's a secret passage way beyond this wall." Drifter said to the others revealing a passage way. They walked down the walk way and reached a big sized room where it looks like a key could be inserted into the panel.
Drifter headed over with the key to put it back in. Before he could however, a familiar face popped in to stop them. It was Dagger.
"You don't think I'd let you guys off that easily." Dagger said.
"Guys. It's time for the final fight to save the world." Trigger said looking at his buster. The rest of the group pulled out their weapons to begin the final fight for the safety of the world. They only had eleven days left.

Chapter 32- Final Fight with Dagger
Dagger leaped into the air shooting like a wild man. The diggers evaded the shots for as long as they could. Then Dagger switched up his style of attacking on them.
The diggers hit the floor hard. Trigger was the first one back up and started shooting at Dagger. Dagger though has had practice since the last fight and saw Trigger's shots coming before they were fired.
"Juno, do that giant laser thing that you did with your second form years ago!" Trigger shouted.
"The one where the lasers come from the ceiling?" Juno asked wondering which laser attack.
"Yes!"
"I can't. I don't have my ride armor for that attack!"
The group kept fighting as much as they could. The felt as if they would fail the world by not being able to defeat Dagger.
Tim got an upper-hand though. When Dagger had his back turned Tim shot his pistols at the Dragge clone. It worked too for the others were able to start fighting back.
Dagger tried shielding himself anyway possible but couldn't because there were too many shots for him to block.
"Give it up Dagger. You're the opposite of me which means you're only five percent robot making it easier to kill you." Dragge said pointing his buster at Dagger's face.
"You've got me. I can't keep going on like this forever. You might as well finish me off now." Dagger said not looking up. "Go ahead and finish me. I don't care. I wasn't made for this world. I was for an opposite world."
"You fought well." Dragge said. With one last pull of the trigger, Dragge ended Dagger for good.
"He deserved it." Bola said. "He almost killed Trigger so it was worth it."
"I agree with you Bola." Locomotion said staring at the lifeless body.
Drifter tried walking back over to the panel but he was stopped by a voice that formed out of the air.
"Good job killing that stupid clone for me." The voice said. "I would've killed him in the end anyway so you guys saved me some time."
"Who are you?" Bola asked.
"It's Nemesis." Drifter said looking at the form taking shape.
He was right too. It was Nemesis. His black armor and scythe were the only things that made him so powerful. Drifter knew that they had to stop him now for good. It has taken too many years for this moment to come by again. This was for the fate of the world.

Chapter 33- Nemesis
Nemesis lowered himself to the ground and pulled out his scythe. "You guys don't know how powerful I've gotten since last time I fought anyone."
He picked up his scythe and headed straight for Drifter. The others noticing this immediately, attacked him. He didn't flinch a bit. Drifter rolled under Nemesis to avoid the attack.
Dragge activated the autofire unit and unleashed its power. Still Nemesis didn't go down. The fight went on for a long time. The diggers were losing terribly.
Nemesis attacked even when someone was down. They had almost no chance at all. When no one could do anything, Nemesis landed on the ground in front of Trigger.
"Dagger couldn't do it, but I will." Nemesis said raising his scythe.
"Drifter, you're sword!" Dragge yelled out. Drifter tossed his sword over to Dragge. Dragge then got up and ran over to Nemesis and stabbed him square in the back straight through to the other side.
Nemesis stood there in shock. Dragge pulled the sword out and Nemesis fell to his knees. He started shaking before The group realized that he was laughing.
"You guys are all fools!" Nemesis laughed. "You can't kill me just like that." The man of darkness stood back up and picked up his scythe. He went to go attack when he stopped.
He couldn't move at all. Dragge had hit his spine which basically paralyzed him. "Impossible!" Nemesis yelled.
The group all aimed at Nemesis. "Never!" he yelled. Even though he wasn't able to move, some evil inside of him helped him out.
He jumped up into the air and hit his target, the panel. "Try and save the world now Drifter. I will win this time!" With those final words, Nemesis left.
"We still have ten and a half days left. Let's get started to fix the panel." Juno said.
That's what they did. They started to take apart the panel and fix all the parts that needed some patching up. A few days ended up passing by and after five days of working on the panel, they fixed it.
Drifter inserted the key into the panel and Elysium started heading back to its place out in space. Everyone breathed a sigh of relive as they headed back to the shuttle bay.

Chapter 34- Returning Home
They all went to the shuttle bay but not everyone was returning. Drifter, Juno, Omega, and Locomotion were staying on Elysium to make sure no one messes with the system ever again while Trigger, Dragge, Tim, and Bola were heading back to Terra.
"I guess this is goodbye my brother." Trigger said to Drifter.
"Only for now. Don't forget, you guys can visit anytime you want." Drifter said.
They all said their goodbyes and the four returning to Terra got into the ship. Trigger was the last in the door giving Drifter a final nod of approval.
The ship took off and went back to the planet they know and love. "So, what's next for everyone?" Dragge asked.
"I've got to get back to Roll." Trigger said. "She worries a lot and I need to be there by her side.
"I'm going back to digging. Since I've given up being a pirate I have to make a living somehow." Bola said polishing his sword.
"I've got to see what Griff and Aaron are doing and if their business is having any success." Tim said.
"How about you Dragge?" Trigger asked.
"I'm going to take a break from digging and help raise Drifter and help out Elunia as much as I can." Dragge said.
The rest of the trip was silent. Once they landed on Terra, everyone said goodbye and went different ways going to where they needed to go. Dragge couldn't wait to get back and see Elunia and Drifter again after such a long time away from them.
Once again he helped to save the world from terrible destruction. He was glad to be a world-wide hero.

Epilogue
Nothing much has happened since then. I've run into the guys every now and then but that's it. Drifter has grown up and is five years old now. Someday he'll become a great digger. Just like his father.
