One Last War

[Dragge]

Prologue

People have always said that the next war to come will be the war to end all wars. Every time they say that though, they're wrong. After that there is always another war of some sort. Though now, these people are right. There was indeed one last war that ended everything. Everyone, even those from the past, had something to do in this war. There were two sides consisting of two different species. On the justice side there were the diggers and Elysians and on the evil side there were pirates and reaverbots. Everybody in one of these categories was in this war. Oh sorry for not telling you who I am. I almost forgot about that for a second. I'm Dragge. I'm not a ghost either and I am about to tell you about the last war. Not only from my point of view, but from some of the others that fought alongside us.

[Dragge]

Chapter 1- Press Conference

Drifter looked in the mirror one last time just to make sure his tie was on correctly. He was nervous being up in front of hundreds of news reporters but this had to get out to the general public.

Bluecher came in the room and put his hand on Drifter's shoulder. "Are you ready Drifter?" Bluecher asked him. Bluecher had gotten older since last seen helping rescue Trigger from Elysium. He still wasn't that old at only fifty five years old. He still had his same features as before and that green hair still on his head.

"I think so. I'm nervous about going up in front of all those news reporters, but if I don't tell them my news; no one will. Oh and thanks again for letting me use the Sulpher Bottom for the press conference." Drifter said getting ready to travel up the elevator.

"Any time my friend. You take your time getting ready. Just as long as you're ready by noon here." Bleucher left Drifter alone in the room as Drifter sat down in the chair.

Drifter got back up a few minutes later and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. A few minutes until noon, Drifter thought to himself. Drifter pushed the up button on the elevator and waited for it to arrive. As soon as it did he entered and let it take him to the conference room.

There were indeed hundreds of news reporters there with not only video cameras but also blinding cameras taking photos of Drifter as he walked up to the podium near some of the giant windows lining the outside of the room.

Drifter reached the podium and started to speak into the microphones. "News reporters from around the world, thank you for being here. I have called you here on the readings I have taken from islands around the world."

One of the reporters raised their hand and asked their question. "What exactly have your readings showed you?"

"That's exactly what I was about to bring up. I have gone to every ruin and found an increased amount of reaverbot activity. It's very unusual that such a thing would happen to an island let alone the whole world. There has also been an increase in pirate activities."

A person from KTOX TV raised their hand. "What does all of this mean?" she asked.

"I have a feeling that the worst part of history is about to happen. I fear that the reaverbots will team up with all of the pirates in the world and try to take it over."

"Drifter, what do you plan to do about this?" A person asked from Nino News.

"I plan to get every digger together and everyone from the distant planet Elysium to help fight against this evil that is rising up. This will mean a full scale war. Diggers and Elysians versus pirates and reaverbots."

"What island will this war most likely take place on?" another news reporter asked.

"I can't be sure but I have a feeling that it will take place on every known island on Terra. The amount of reaverbots and pirates together would be enough to have battles on every island. Does anyone else have any questions?"

A person from Archibald Island Papers came forward. "Will these people from this Elysium that you speak of, will they help us?"

"Yes they will. I have worked with them many times before and they will surely help us. If only my father Dragge were here. He was an Elysian and everyone can remember back when he saved the world before."

"Thank you." the person from the papers stated.

"That will be all." Drifter said. Drifter got down from the podium and walked back to the elevator taking him to the lone room on the bottom floor. Bleucher followed him and sat in a seat next to him. There had apparently been a table set up with food for when Drifter was done.

Drifter had nothing more than a cup of coffee to settle things down. "Do you truly believe that the diggers and Elysians can help you Drifter?" Bluecher asked finishing his drink.

"No I don't. I don't even think any of the police forces will help. Kattelox's police force has the technology to fight pirates and reaverbots ever since Trigger helped them out decades ago. The Archibald Defense team has the technology to as well but I don't think anyone will help me out on this."

"What about my guards?"

"No. They belong to you. As well as any defense team or police squad belongs to that island."

"Well, I hope that someone can help you out. If not, the world will be messed up and people will blame you for everything."

"You're right Bluecher. Even though I'm head of the Archibald Police Force, people look up to me like I'm the all great president of the world or something like that. I can't let them down. Tomorrow, I start my journey to get help from everyone possible."

"Good luck my friend. I hope you succeed in getting the help necessary for the war."

"Thank you." Drifter got up from his chair and headed to the docking bay where the Yellow Jacket rested after being pushed to find the Sulpher Bottom. Drifter opened the hatch and stepped inside.

The first place he intended to go was Kattelox Island where the main digger school lay with thousands of people becoming diggers within a year of teaching. He remembered all of the people that taught there such as: Zero, Ira, and Axl. He had to go there first and ask if everyone there was ready to fight.

Drifter started up his father's vehicle and took of due north towards Kattelox. He would need everyone's help in this war. Even if it meant having a couple of losses.

[Dragge]

Chapter 2- No Help

Drifter arrived at Kattelox's large docking bay and smiled as he saw the city come into view. The Yellow Jacket landed softly and powered down. Drifter opened up the hatch and stepped out into the fresh breeze.

Drifter greeted a few tourists then headed off to his main destination; The Kattelox Academy for Diggers. The school wasn't hard to miss for it was now the largest building on Kattelox. Zero and Ira, the people who owned the place, had built a Hall of Fame for the best diggers ever known. In it were people such as; Trigger, Dragge, Zero, and even Drifter who was just recently added.

Drifter walked into the main office area and asked for entry into the main building. He was allowed through and went straight to the classroom where Ira and the others watched as the students went through tests. Drifter sat in a chair in the back while being unnoticed by any of the others.

After about thirty minutes, Ira and the rest of the main diggers got up to leave. Zero noticed Drifter before he left and signaled for the others to get back in the room.

"So, what kind of predicament have you gotten yourself into this time?" Zero jokingly asked.

"Well, I've seen an increase in reaverbot and pirates activities lately and fear the two plan to join together for one last war to see who controls the world." Drifter had started off. "I am going around to every island to see if any diggers who will live there will join me in the final war. After the people here on Terra, I'm heading to Elysium to see if any of them will help out."

"What does it have to do with us?" Axl asked staring into Drifter's eyes.

"I want you guys and the students here to help me in this war. Otherwise, we could loose the world to evil."

Zero and the others left while having Drifter stay there. They came back in after a few minutes and talked to Drifter once more. "I'm sorry Drifter. I know you need us but we can't just help in this. There's nothing that we can do to help you. I hope you understand us." Ira said with sadness in her eyes.

"I understand. I'll see if the inspector will let the police force here help stop any reaverbots or any pirates that come by. Drifter went to the police station in the City Hall area. He talked to the inspector and he refused to let the police force help out at all. Some wanted to help out but the inspector was the head of the force and just wouldn't allow it.

Drifter slowly walked back to the Yellow Jacket and made his ways to other islands. Drifter then decided to go to the islands where Trigger had gone on his second adventures. He stopped on Calinca where he had no luck. Nino Island didn't want anything to do with war. Calbania Island, only with a population of three, refused to fight with only them.

Drifter then went to Sulkada who after decades were still repairing a part of the city the Bonnes had destroyed. The people on Manda Island gave no answer and let Drifter fly off. Drifter even asked Bluecher to let his guards fight alongside him but Bluecher had the guards stay with himself.

Drifter decided then to take the route of Dragge's first adventures. He traveled to every island and asked every digger for help. Everywhere that he went, no one wanted to help him. He took the next series of islands of Dragge's chronicles and once again no one would help him fight in the great war to come.

Drifter even asked the Bonnes and Bola to help but they turned down the offer. Very saddened by everyones' responses, Drifter returned home to Archibald Island. He went back to his house since it was just starting to become night when he arrived. The next day he would ask the police force, Defense Team, and all of the diggers to help him out.

After sleeping well that night, he asked the three remaining groups of carbons to fight in the final war. Neither wanted to. Very angry at everyone he took off to Elysium where surely they would help him fight a great battle.

"We will not help you Drifter." the Master said after hearing about what Drifter went through.

"Why not?" Drifter shot back.

"Our place is here on Elysium. This is our place to protect and neither carbon or reaverbot will think of coming here."

"You have enough power to help me out though."

"I'm sorry my dear friend but we can't help you this time."

Drifter said no more as he walked back to his ship and headed back to Terra where only he, would fight and most likely loose.

Drifter never knew this, but there was a person in a black cloak following him to every island on a makeshift ship. He had heard every response from every carbon, then from the Elysians.

He saw Drifter rush off without a word then approached the Master's chair. Everyone from Elysium was there at that moment and even Tim, Griff, and Aaron were there.

Only this person could change everyone's mind and he knew it. He would help out Drifter once again. This time, instead of fighting within Drifter, he would be fighting next to Drifter.

[Dragge]

Chapter 3- The Help to Come

The figure in the black cloak approached the group of people there and started to talk. "How pathetic. I followed him everywhere and all he got was no. I thought you guys were all about helping the carbons out."

"We were at one time. Then we just decided to quit and move on with our own lives." the Master replied first.

"Who are you anyway?" Tim exclaimed standing up from his chair. "Why should we listen to you anyway? You're no one important!"

"Are you sure about that?" questioned the figure.

"Yeah I'm sure."

"Okay." The figure threw back the hood on his cloak and a familiar face showed to everyone in that room.

"Dragge?" Griff asked.

"It's me alright. I don't know why but some force wants me back for this war."

"Tell us what your thoughts are." the Master stated pointing to an empty chair.

"Well, not only have I come back; an even amount of pirates and reaverbots alike have returned as well."

"What do you mean by that?" Juno asked.

"Colonel along with every master reaverbot that had ever been destroyed is back for another fight. Pirates that we have fought such as; Glyde, Bruticus, Axel, and Claymoor have come back."

"Anyone else?" the Master asked.

"Our worst nightmares have come back as well. I'm talking about Nemesis and Dagger." Everyone's head immediately locked on to Dragge. They were in total shock and disbelief.

"I can't be true." Locomotion stated.

"It is. They're back and ready to fight once more. You guys have to help me and Drifter out. Otherwise, all life as we know it will cease and a huge empire will form."

"Does Drifter know about you being back?" Aaron asked.

"No."

"I'm in Dragge." Tim said. "You're my clone; a part of me. I can't let you get beaten out there." The Master was the next to agree with Tim. Everyone else there agreed to help aide in one final war to determine who was superior. Even the two mother units wished to fight.

"Now, I'm heading to Terra to convince everyone there. Get your armor and weapons ready and meet me tomorrow." Dragge was off and went back to Terra to get everyone on the side of justice.

The first people he visited were the Bonnes. They were glad to see Dragge and agreed to help him and Drifter out this time. Dragge then started on a journey to the other islands like Drifter had done just a day ago.

This time, after hearing Dragge's addition to the story, everyone agreed to help fight against the major threat. After each agreement Dragge told them to get their armor and weapons prepared and ready to fight.

Dragge got everyone from diggers to Elysians and even the police forces. There was only one more island to attend to and that was Drifter's home of Archibald Island. The forces there agreed to help him out and promised to keep it a secret from Drifter.

Dragge left to his ship and took off into the mid-day sky. He had accomplished what he had hoped possible. The next day when the fighting was scheduled to begin, Drifter would have everyone on his side.

[Dragge]

Chapter 4- Drifter's Preparation

Drifter woke up early the next morning and made breakfast for him and Serra. Serra came down the steps smelling what Drifter had cooked and was surprised to see that he actually cooked.

Drifter said nothing at all during breakfast and absolutely nothing afterward. He walked slowly to the bathroom and got a shower to freshen up. After that he walked into his armor room and attached his armor.

He went to his weapon storage room and picked up his necessary weapons for his defense on the island. He grabbed the usual weapons which included; his two laser sabers, his buster, and the autofire. He grabbed more than that just in case he needed a little extra something.

He put an energy pistol in a holster that hung over his head. He clipped a huge bazooka to his back. The last thing he grabbed was a large amount of grenades able to take out any reaverbot in a single blow.

Serra walked into the room and saw Drifter sitting on their bed. She sat down next to him and held him tightly. After a few moments, Drifter finally spoke for the first time that morning.

"All of those people. Not one of them agreed to help me. It felt like a waste of time. So many people that could help save the world and make it a safe place for the rest of their lives."

"Drifter. You can do it." Serra said hoping it would cheer him up.

"I can't. I may be able to save the island, but once the other islands have been taken over, and the forces come here, there's nothing that I could do. The last safe place would be safe no more. I just wish a least one of those people would have agreed to help me."

"What about Dragge's spirit?"

"What good will he do? With him fused with his armor just enhances my ability to keep up with everything. It doesn't do much more."

Drifter looked up at the clock and figured that he should at least head out and get ready to fend off anyone or thing that got in his way. Drifter left Serra but gave her one more kiss before leaving out the front door into the bone chilling wind.

Drifter walked all the way to City Hall as people looked out of windows to see him. He reached City Hall, where hovering in the air, was Nemesis.

Drifter looked up and saw no signs of shock on his face. "Are you ready to surrender?" Nemesis asked mocking him.

"I will fight, until I die." Drifter stated.

"Have it your way." Nemesis was about ready to give the signal to attack but stopped to look up into the sky. There he saw a few open-sided air ships with diggers inside. On top of the first ship was Dragge himself smiling with triumph on his face.

"Hey Nemesis!!!" Dragge yelled. "You'll have to get through all of us if you want the world!"

"Dragge? What can only a handful of diggers do?"

"We have more than that Nemesis. All over the world, diggers and police forces are fighting to save the world from the likes of you. Even the Bonnes are on our side."

Drifter had hope back in his eyes and greeted Dragge as he jumped off of the ship. The two embraced and were glad to truly see each other again.

"So. Everyone is helping out now?" Drifter asked.

"Yes. About ten-thousand diggers have agreed to help us out along with every police and defense team on Terra." Drifter stared back and saw it was absolutely true. He saw the police squad and Defense Team of Archibald Island attack the reaverbots that were about to attack Drifter.

"I'm glad you're back Dragge." Drifter stated.

"It's good to be back." Dragge replied. Drifter separated Dragge's armor from his own and it attached to Dragge. Dragge tested out his weapons to see if everything was still in working order.

Drifter went over his armor and found that he still had the energized swords and every other weapon including the autofire. The father and son stood side-by-side and readied to attack.

At the same time, they rushed forward and started blasting every reaverbot in sight.

[Dragge]

Chapter 5- Everyone to the Rescue

Before Dragge had even arrived, the fighting had started on every island as soon as the diggers got there. The Elysians even went separate ways once reaching Terra. The world still had hope and wouldn't give up until the war was finished.

On Manda Island, the Bonne family member known as Tron helped the attack with her new robot dubbed the Iron Fox. Teisle decided to help out on Saulkada. Bon went to Calinca and lead the attack there. The servebots stayed on the Gesselschaft to attack from the air.

Tron looked out at the battle raging and was frustrated to see so much destruction. She and her brothers have been on the side of justice for a long time and have given up their pirating ways.

Tron saw multiple master reaverbots rise up from the ground and talked over her communication link to tell of her plan. "I'll go after the larger reaverbots. You guys keep to the smaller ones." The diggers all followed her orders.

Tron saw the reaverbots located on a large but narrow strip of land near the mountains. She piloted her fox to the rock formation where she stopped it in front of the reaverbots. The reaverbots were the giant frog and the one Trigger fought in that tower back when he was only fourteen.

The reaverbots rushed forward and leaped to attack Tron. Tron piloted the robot backwards then immediately threw the controls forward and slashed both reaverbots with one of the claws. The reaverbots still stood.

The frog threw itself at Tron's robot and landed on top of it. Tron used all of the power to get it off and she finally did. She didn't attack the frog but went for the weaker one. A few attacks from her robot destroyed the thing.

Tron's full attention went to the other reaverbot. She was too late to see its long tongue come flying out of its mouth and hit her robot. The Iron Fox was sent flying over the edge of the strip of land but held on with its front claws. Tron used her skills to get it back on all fours.

She then tore through the frog which then lay in a heap before her creation. She saw the battle still going on and raced back to help out her fellow diggers.

The diggers weren't losing but they weren't making any progress either. The robots kept coming out of the ruins at a steady pace. Tron reached the commander and asked for the progress of the battle.

"The reaverbots are coming out at least two at a time. We are doing everything we can to hold them off. I hear other parts of the island are doing worse than us. You might want to go help them out."

"Yes commander." Tron replied. she closed the hatch of the fox and took off at full speed to one of the cities that the digger commander had described. He was right too. About twenty-five percent of the diggers were either wounded or killed.

Many of the diggers turned attention to Tron in her robot and were glad for her help. Her fox jumped in the air and started to unleash a huge burst of flames. Many of the reaverbots were blown up but more filed out of the ruins. Tron decided to hit the ones coming from the ruins while letting the diggers fight the ones already there.

Tron got a radio signal which another digger asked for help on another part of the island. She took off hating to leave any one team of diggers behind. She had to help everyone though. This was a great war between two teams.

Tron reached the town and saw only a group of twenty diggers left fighting off any reaverbots that got close. "Stay under the robot!!!" Tron shouted over the speaker. "Actually, get inside. There's room in here for all of you."

"Right away Miss Tron!" one of them answered. Tron lowered the robot and let the diggers climb inside. There was a room with twenty seats. The diggers all sat down and let Tron take over. They watched from a monitor.

Tron was destroying reaverbots left and right and before long, the reaverbots stopped coming from the ruins on that part of the island. Tron then told the others that she was going back to the previous town. The diggers there needed all the help they could get and the diggers Tron had with her agreed to help them out.

The diggers there were making steady progress with the reaverbots and Tron noticed there weren't much left to do there. The commander from the main town of Pokte called Tron. "Tron. There's something weird going on over here. You might want to help."

Tron responded and headed to Pokte and saw the commander was right. The reaverbots were heading back into the ruins. Tron wondered if there was some sort of glitch in their programs but then saw a gleaming red light come from the door.

"Hit the deck!" she shouted to everyone. Tron moved her robot out of the way just in time. A huge red laser shot out of the ruin. Then the culprit came outside being dragged by the reaverbots. It was a huge reaverbot in the shape of a cannon.

Tron made it her primary target to attack the cannon so the reaverbots would be easier to get rid of. She had to dodge the laser fire but reached it and was able to take it out without much trouble.

The diggers then resumed fire on the reaverbots. Tron headed off to a remote location so she could radio Teisel. She couldn't get anything through and thought that he might have still been fighting his battle. A shot came close to the cockpit and Tron noticed it right away.

She tackled the reaverbot that almost hit her. She saw more reaverbots coming out of the ruins and went after them. She hoped she could make it out of there alive. This war wouldn't be easy to win.

[Dragge]

Chapter 6- Kattelox's Help

Trigger and the Master along with a few other Elysians decided to help out Kattelox. Though not too big, it's one of the first places where Trigger started to find out about his true identity and wanted to help the people that lived there.

Zero, Ira, and everyone from the digger academy joined in on the action as well as the police force. Trigger and Drifter ran to the Downtown Area because they saw smoke rising into the air.

By the time they got there, they had seen that the action had already started. The diggers from the school were already attacking reaverbots. Trigger ran to Zero and asked what was happening.

"The police force along with some of our diggers split up and went to Uptown and the Old City where reaverbot activity was located. Some diggers went north to the Clozer woods and others went south to the Cardon Forest to take care of reaverbots there. The other islands of Kattelox are alright because there aren't any ruins there. We could sure use your help."

"That's what we're here for!" Trigger said jokingly.

Trigger and Drifter ran at full speed off to one direction of Downtown to take care of numerous reaverbots that resided in that area. The fighting was rough because of buildings that were on fire. Trigger and Drifter were as one. They would do the same maneuver at the same time.

Trigger and Drifter are both brothers and basically know each other's mind. That's what made them the ideal team for these types of situations. At one point, Trigger was thrown clear across town. Zero saw this and rushed over to help him up off of the ground.

Reaverbots were surrounding Zero and Trigger. Zero had a trick up his sleeve and blasted each reaverbot with his Z-buster. More came though. There were many ruins on Kattelox and Kattelox is a small island with not much to it.

Ira had grown stronger since the last time she fought reaverbots. Her armor had been updated and she now had a buster of her own. She became a natural at shooting reaverbots directly in the head. She had even improved her skills and was able to fight for longer periods of time.

It took Drifter a long time before realizing that Trigger had been blown away by an attack. Drifter had been using his Blade of Elysium which he hadn't used for a while. Drifter then remembered about his sword and started to use that. He had forgotten how powerful the sword was. He would take out multiple reaverbots in one swing.

Trigger regained his senses and got back to the battle with Drifter. Trigger seemed surprised that his brother was using the sword instead of the buster. Trigger would charge up his buster every now and then when he got the chance and would unleash the powerful blast.

Axl was a skilled teacher in the school and was trained in using pistols. Using two at a time gave him an advantage against the reaverbots. He would shoot two ways at the same time so he wouldn't be attacked from another spot.

The diggers that were still in the school kept up as well. They may not have been trained fully but they had been taught by the best and this war was their true test showing what they were capable of. With the skills they were taught they were ready for everything.

The diggers had been taught on every reaverbot out there and knew its weaknesses and attacks. When one reaverbot would attack, a digger would slide to its weak spot and hit it there were it would blow up immediately.

Trigger signaled for Drifter to follow him and when they were away from the fighting, Drifter was finally able to speak. "Where are we going?"

"We're going to check on the mayor. Zero said nothing about anyone trying to protect her." Trigger ran off to City Hall and found it under siege but not by the Bonnes this time. A large group of about one-hundred reaverbots storming City Hall.

"Help me out here Drifter!" Trigger shouted jumping on top of City Hall taking out reaverbots one-by-one. Trigger then remembered a weapon that was created for him long ago and decided to use it. Instead of his regular right arm, the weapon known as the Saga Buster was there.

Trigger fired off the powerful weapon and would take out two reaverbots at a time. Drifter slashed through reaverbots with wide swings from his sword. They finally reached the door and entered the building.

There was no sign of the mayor on the first floor and they decided to head to the second floor. They could here screaming as they reached the next floor and quickened their pace. Once in the room they saw the mayor trying to fend off the reaverbot.

Drifter right away threw his sword at the reaverbot cleaving it in half. The mayor looked up and saw the two standing there in the door way.

"Megaman, it's so good to see you again. Who is your friend?"

"This is my brother and leader of Elysium, Drifter Trigger." Drifter and Mayor Amelia shook hands.

"You guys arrived in time. That reaverbot had somehow gotten in the door and I tried to get rid of it but it kept coming."

"You'll be safe now." Trigger said. "We got rid of the reaverbots at the entrance of the building."

"Thank you both of you. Please thank everyone else when you get the chance to. I'll be safe here. There's a secret attic where I have supplies for long periods of time."

"Right." Drifter said taking off down the stairs. Trigger took off after him and they both went back to Downtown. When they were there the reaverbots had all been destroyed.

The diggers dispatched and went to other areas of the main island of Kattelox. Drifter and Trigger went with Zero to Uptown where the KTOX building was located. It was being over-run with reaverbots as well.

Trigger and Drifter looked at each other and nodded their heads. They ran inside to save any survivors from the reaverbot threat. The people were all together on one floor where the Beast Hunter game was played by lucky contestants.

Trigger went all over the building to search for any remaining reaverbots. When there weren't any, they told the people to stay there until it was safe.

The first floor had somehow gotten blocked by debris so Trigger and Drifter took to the second floor. "Follow me Trigger. I know how to get out of here." Drifter told Trigger. Trigger went with him and immediately got his plan.

Drifter jumped out the window and landed on the concrete sidewalk. Trigger followed suit and jumped out. Glass fell all around him but he was left unharmed.

Trigger was the first to catch up with Zero and saw that they were fighting reaverbots on the lake now. Only Trigger knew where the old boat was at and signaled for Drifter and Zero to follow him. "Zero, pilot the boat while me and Drifter attack the reaverbots from up top."

"Yes General Trigger."

"Also, tell your diggers to leave the water reaverbots to us." Zero did as he was commanded and then headed to the boat. Trigger and Drifter got up top. The boat lurched forward and right away they were attacked by the water reaverbots.

Trigger and Drifter were able to pick them out and shoot down every reaverbot in the lake. After about an hour of that they returned to the boat docks. One of the diggers came up to Trigger. "Sir, all reaverbots have been destroyed. We searched all ruin entrances and discovered no more were there."

"Perfect." Trigger said. "Drifter and Zero, gather all diggers and we'll head off to other islands to help fight the war." Everyone agreed and went to round up all diggers and got on the drop ships.

Trigger and Drifter got to the Flutter and lead the drop ships to whatever island needed help the most.

[Dragge]

Chapter 7- Strongest Team Together

Drifter and Dragge had started to blast everything in sight but realized that they could take out more with Drifter's swords. Drifter gave one of them to Dragge and both fought with swords.

Both of them moved gracefully as they slashed in up motions and from angles and such that they felt in full synchronization. The diggers and forces on the island had gotten rid of a large deal of reaverbots. They didn't quit despite that fact.

Drifter slashed through a reaverbot and on the other side was Rob. He was standing there in the armor that Nemesis had given him. "Well Drifter, looks like this time the fight will be even."

"It was fair last time!" Drifter shot out. "You almost killed me twice!"

Rob had seemed to take no notice of what Drifter had said and took out a large three foot long blade. The handle itself was at least a foot long. When Rob pointed the sword, it extended to Drifter's nose.

Drifter really didn't care about the sword, he just cared about whether or not he could destroy Rob. Drifter re-ignited his sword and knocked it away from his nose. Rob brought it back to slash Drifter in half but missed terribly.

Drifter ran forward and clashed swords with Rob. The two kept the swords there in place for a minute. Rob was the first to take his sword away. Drifter back-flipped on top of a roof and allowed Rob to come attack.

Rob jumped up after him and landed next to him on the roof. Both swords clashed and sparks flew into the mid day sky. Drifter brought his sword for a hard attack and connected with Rob's sword cutting it to half of its original length.

Rob scowled at Drifter and got in closer to attack but Drifter backed away with each approaching step. Drifter was getting near the edge of the roof and jumped across a ten foot gap to land on the other roof.

Dragge saw what had been happening and ran to the building where Rob and Drifter continued their fight. Dragge jumped onto a smaller building to get to that building. When Dragge landed, he landed on the other side of Rob. Rob took his attention off of Drifter and looked at Dragge.

Rob started fighting both of them at the same time. Rob had jumped off of the roof onto the ground and the father and son team followed him. Rob had been trained by some unknown source and both Dragge and Drifter knew it. There was no way Rob would have relied on a sword any time in his life. Now was a different time though.

Rob blocked and attacked when possible. At one point, Rob kicked Dragge hard in the mid-section and made Dragge fall onto the ground. Dragge threw Drifter's other sword back to him. Drifter started attacking Rob with both swords one at a time.

Rob had almost been caught off guard but he had been trained to fight someone with two swords. Rob was able to easily see the attacks coming and blocked and dodged like he was taught. Drifter was surprised to see this and decided to take a new approach.

Drifter combined his two words to create a deadly two-bladed sword and attacked with more ease. Unfortunate for Drifter, Rob had also been trained to fight someone like this too. Rob was still going strong as he fought Drifter through the rest of the fighting.

Drifter started fighting with the swords separate again and even put one back at one point. Rob wouldn't give up the grudge he held against Drifter. Drifter slowed at one point and Rob thought he had an opportunity. Drifter saw Rob come in for the kill but missed. Drifter moved quickly and stabbed at Rob's arm.

He made his target. Even with a wounded arm Rob still fought. Drifter then felt a surge of energy returning and saw his armor go back to the black and white version. Drifter looked over and saw that Dragge still had his armor. He figured that something about his connection with Dragge gave him the full armor back while letting Dragge keep his own armor.

Drifter fought with more strength and was able to get more hits in on Rob. Rob, even with armor, couldn't keep up with Drifter. As described before, Drifter was a mix between an Elysian and a Carbon. That gave Drifter his uniqueness and skills. Rob was starting to lose his balance as Drifter moved quicker.

Rob tripped over himself and lost his sword, where later a digger used it to destroy reaverbots. Drifter pointed one of his swords at Rob. Rob stared at the energized blade waiting for Drifter to finish him off.

Drifter put his swords away and walked away to go back into the true fighting. Rob stood up and decided to use his buster right against Drifter's head. Drifter felt the cool breeze of Rob's buster as it brushed his hair. In an instant, Drifter spun around and thrust one of his swords through Rob.

Drifter took the sword out and saw Rob's lifeless body fall to the ground. For the first time in his life, Drifter felt no sympathy. Drifter saw Dragge blasting away at reaverbots while the Defense Team took out the reaverbots at a distance.

"What happened to Rob?" Dragge asked avoiding some fire.

"He's dead. He'll no longer be a threat." Drifter activated his own buster and started firing alongside Dragge. Drifter then remembered how Nemesis was at the steps of City Hall. Drifter rushed there as soon as he remembered that image. When he arrived, there was no one there.

Numerous reaverbot had followed Drifter. Drifter even knew this but wanted to let the reaverbots think that he was trapped. Drifter turned around firing his autofire unit at every reaverbot in sight. The reaverbot fell to the ground in a flaming heap. Drifter walked through with a new look on his face. It was the look of determination.

Dragge saw some diggers in help and went to back them up. The diggers were under heavy fire but were able to hold themselves up against the reaverbots. Dragge leaped in and fired his autofire unit. The diggers stood there motionless at seeing Dragge's amazing skills.

"Are you guys going to just stand there or are you going to help me out?"

"Yes sir." they responded. The diggers returned to firing and helped Dragge take out the rest of the reaverbots surrounding them. Dragge took off sprinting for another part of the town where Drifter was under even more heavy fire.

Drifter saw Dragge coming and tossed him a sword. Dragge ignited the sword and started slicing through reaverbots that stood in his way. The reaverbots, no matter the size, fell at the contact of the sword's energized blade.

Dragge helped Drifter up and the two went back to slicing through reaverbots left and right. Th reaverbots weren't stopping though. With their multiple attacks, there was no chance to black sometimes.

The reaverbots were coming from the only ruin that was still active. The main gate. The reaverbots there were incredibly powerful. Like what Drifter discovered, some of the reaverbots would fuse themselves back together. Dragge had never remembered a reaverbot like this but it had been a long time since he had gone over every reaverbot.

Dragge spotted a huge reaverbot coming up behind Drifter and immediately slashed it down. Drifter got one that was coming up behind Dragge. The reaverbots were coming without warning.

"Stand back Drifter." Dragge said. Dragge charged up his buster to maximum and fired it off. A huge laser shot out of the barrel and plowed into any reaverbot in the way. The blast was so great that chips of Dragge's armor was coming up and hitting him in the face. Dragge took no notice of it until after when he noticed blood dribbling down the full organic half of his face.

Drifter noticed the reaverbot count had lessened because of Dragge's attack. They knew they were going to win Archibald Island and then head on to another island. Drifter ran to the police force to see how their progress was going. They had only a few casualties but everything was going fine.

They need no help Drifter thought as he went to check on the Defense Team. The Defense Team was using their high powered rocket launcher and took out reaverbots at least ten at a time. They were fine as well. Drifter saw the diggers were doing well as well.

Dragge found Drifter and stood next to him. "Where will our next location be General Drifter?" Dragge asked.

"We'll probably head to Saulkada Island to help Teisel out there. From what I heard, he's loosing troops and quickly."

"Great."

"You should be the general Dragge. I don't want to."

"You're the general because without you, we wouldn't be here fighting right now like we are."

Drifter took this in and accepted his leadership skills. Drifter quickly unsheathed one of his swords and hit a reaverbot that tried jumping on top of him. Drifter signaled for Dragge to follow him to the Yellow Jacket.

They both hopped in and Drifter sent a signal to every digger down on the island surface. "When every reaverbot is destroyed, meet me and Dragge on Saulkada Island." Drifter located where Saulkada was and headed in that direction hoping they could reach Teisel in time.

[Dragge]

Chapter 8- Teisel's Problems Part 1

The Gesselschaft hovered above the island of Saulkada. Teisel could already see the diggers fighting against the reaverbot forces. Teisel also saw some pirate ships in the area. He scanned them and figured that the pirates on board must have went down to the action as well.

Teisel got one of the newest Gustaffs and headed down to the action himself. His robot landed with a heavy thud then started running toward the city. Teisel saw nothing much of importance as he ran through the desert except for the old remains of some old cities.

Teisel got to the entrance point for the city and noticed the huge amount of destructive reaverbots. The diggers that were there did whatever they could to defend the city. Teisel piloted the Gustaff to the nearest group of reaverbots.

One of the new gustaffs was incredibly powerful. It was quicker than any of the last ones and held a better buster. Teisel moved it with ease and was able to maneuver a lot easier. The reaverbots were coming from every ruin on the island. Teisel would blast a reaverbot and at least one more would take its place.

Teisel didn't know it but on the other side of the island Omega ans Locomotion were fighting against the major threat. Omega and Locomotion had the most experience around reaverbots and knew them inside and out.

Locomotion had a simple energy sword with him and slashed through any reaverbot within a three foot radius. Omega had with him a powered up buster and shot charge shots whenever fired. The two Elysians didn't know that Teisel had arrived on the island but did know that many pirates had joined to fight.

Teisel reached the main part of Kimotoma City and started blasting away the feeble reaverbots without thought. Teisel was fighting through the reaverbots and came across Glyde fighting off diggers. Glyde's robot turned around and immediately spotted Teisel.

"I see you're still alive Teisel. This time you will not get away." Glyde stated in his monotone voice.

"Glyde. All of my years of living and your the person that I despised most. I will fight you and destroy you Glyde. We may have once been allies but that time is over. I have sided with Megaman and will continue to fight for justice."

"Have it your way Teisel. But my Glyde-bot has been enhanced in a way that my Ultimate Glyde Laser will cut through your machine like last time."

"Last time, my machines were a lot slower." Teisel and Glyde took no notice of the destruction around them. Reaverbot parts and armor flew all around them but they took no attention to any of it. Teisel was the first to strike blasting Glyde's robot in the face area.

Glyde retreated to the air and transformed the robot into its bird-like form. It swooped down to strike Teisel but he just easily stepped to the side. Glyde's robot smashed into the nearest building and couldn't get out of it. Teisel saw this as his perfect chance to strike.

Teisel got the Gustaff over to the Glyde-bot and grabbed the body. The Gustaff yanked at the robot and pulled it loose. Then Teisel blasted the Glyde-bot with everything.

Glyde felt shaken up but recovered quickly. He knew it was dangerous at such close rang but he fired off the laser. It damaged both robots in a huge fire explosion.

Omega and Locomotion came across many pirates as they fought through the wreckage. They weren't just any ordinary pirates either. They had the best technology over the Bonnes. They had the best armor as well.

Most pirates were known for their ways to smuggle technology to other pirates and that's how they got so powerful. Pirates helping out other pirates.

Omega and Locomotion took tough beatings but didn't give up. They were Elysians and Elysians never quit fighting even when the times were rough. These pirates never gave up either, that is until they ran out of energy.

At that point, Omega and Locomotion finished them off and saw them return to their ships.

After the explosion, Teisel looked at the monitor and saw what happened to Glyde. Teisel saw a horribly scarred Glyde sitting in his cockpit. Glyde looked as if he were burned badly and realized that his generator must have overloaded. Teisel felt sympathy for Glyde but just sat there staring in disbelief.

Glyde looked up at Teisel's robot and stared at it still standing. Glyde felt terrible and reached a weak hand to Teisel's robot. "Teisel. Help me." Glyde said in a weakening voice.

Teisel looked on in horror as he saw Glyde fall back into his seat. Glyde died just a few moments later. Teisel picked up the robot and took it to a safe place away from all of the fighting.

Teisel returned about thirty minutes later and found that at least half of the diggers were dead. Teisel activated his radio signal to see if anyone was around. "Hello, hello. Is anyone out there? This is Teisel Bonne. I'm in dire need of help. Half of the diggers are gone and I need backup."

Omega and Locomotion go the signal right away. "Teisel, where is your location?" Omega asked blasting a reaverbot that jumped towards him.

"I'm in Kimotoma City." Teisel said over the comm link.

"We're close to your position. We're on the other side of the island. We'll be there right away. We'll get as many diggers there as well."

Teisel also got a signal to Drifter on Archibald Island. "Sure we'll be there Teisel. Everything here is under control with no reaverbots left. Dragge and I will be there with all of our remaining troops. Expect us within about two hours."

Teisel finished up his message and saw that he was under a shadow. When he looked up, he saw two things. Two reaverbots, each identical looking like dinosaurs. They both started to breathe fire at Teisel. Teisel made the Gustaff jump back and out of range.

"Get here quickly guys."

[Dragge]

Chapter 9- Teisel's Problems Part 2

Teisel was resting in a secluded area away from the towering reaverbots. He had been fighting them for way too long. He watched the sky looking for the backup he had called earlier.

Omega and Locomotion were the first to respond to his distress signal. They were on the other side of the island and had to fight their way through the reaverbots separating them from Kimotoma City.

Dragge and Drifter also got the call and were to come with the other diggers in the air ships. They should have been there by now. He had sent out the message only thirty minutes ago.

The reaverbots were searching for Teisel and were baffled at his sudden disappearance. They would travel along the roads searching with their optical sensors for the reddish robot.

Teisel then heard the terrible roar of the reaverbots and knew the diggers wouldn't mess around with them. Teisel then looked to the east and saw his backup finally arrive just like they said they would.

Dragge was on top of the main drop ship shooting at the reaverbots from a distance. Teisel didn't see it at first but Drifter was there with him firing at the other reaverbot. Teisel heard another buster firing and saw Omega and Locomotion fighting the beasts.

Teisel ran from his hiding spot and joined back in the fight. "Perfect timing guys. It couldn't have been any better!" Teisel said from his robot.

"We're here for you Teisel!" Dragge said. Dragge and Drifter leaped far off of the drop ships and landed on top of the reaverbots. The blasted away until they were knocked off of the tops.

The reaverbots roared again and unleashed their fire-breath. Teisel unleashed a huge cannon that was capable of firing up to one-hundred feet. Teisel fired it at the blue reaverbot which almost fell. Teisel saw it going down and was about to rejoice but then saw it stand back up on all fours.

The blue reaverbot went up on its hind legs and brought the spike on its head down on the ground. The red reaverbot then executed the same move and actually hit some people with the enormous shock wave.

Dragge jumped the shock wave and landed behind the reaverbot and took it out with his autofire unit. The blue version of the reaverbot saw this and swatted Dragge knocking him out in the ruins of an old building.

Locomotion headed over to Dragge and made sure he was alright. Once sure he took Dragge to a remote location away from the fighting and decided to look over him until he came back.

Omega used his charge shots and the reaverbot but had no real notice of the shots. Teisel kept firing his buster and Drifter tried outmaneuvering it.

"This thing isn't going down anytime soon." Drifter said. "There's got to be a weak spot on this thing." Drifter replaced his cross-buster with his swords and slashed through whatever got in his way.

After a few moments Teisel found himself flying through the air by the force of the reaverbots massive hand. Omega and Drifter were the only ones standing against the reaverbot and before too long Drifter was the final one.

The reaverbot saw the only threat left and did whatever possible to destroy it. Drifter flipped through the air with his amazing abilities to slash through its defenses. Drifter was able to jump onto the back and slash away at a panel located there.

The panel fell inside the reaverbot and Drifter went in after. Drifter searched through long tunnels and floors before finding the power source of the reaverbot; a single lone refractor spinning in place. It was a huge green one too with the power to activate even the biggest of weapons.

Drifter tried taking it our from the spot and was shocked by a shield. He knew much about these shields and looked around for a panel to put three keys in it.

There was no panel and thus no keys to find. Drifter did what he thought would get rid of the panel. He sheathed one sword and left the other one in his hand. Drifter raised the energy sword and brought it down on the shield. The force of the sword striking the shield was huge. Drifter felt the sword slowly coming from his hands.

Drifter kept on it though. If the shield wasn't going down now it would later. Drifter felt the energy of the shield rush through him. It felt as terrible as getting struck by lightning. Drifter stood in his place though never letting up on the shield. After a few minutes of enduring pain, he finally bust through the shield.

Drifter grabbed the refractor and felt the reaverbot fall with a thud. Drifter fell on his back and relaxed trying to regain his lost energy. After resting Drifter made his way back to the opening and saw everyone back up and ready for the next mission.

Drifter dropped down from the reaverbot and looked at Locomotion. "Are there any reaverbots left here on the island?"

"None. We can head out when ready."

"Round up the diggers, leave some here though just in case. We're meeting up with Trigger and the Master."

"Where are they at?" Omega asked.

"Last seen on Kattelox but I have a feeling that they're heading to Nino to help out the Mother Units and Juno." Drifter said.

"I also have word that Bon is on Calinca Island with Ira and Axl. Tron is finished on Manda and is heading to Calinca. Tim, Griff, and Aaron are located on Ostasis trying to help all diggers there." Dragge said.

"Okay, our next location is Nino." Drifter said.

"Hold up Drifter." Dragge stated. "I'm heading to Ostasis to help out the brotherly trio and Elunia."

"Okay, we'll meet up on the center island of Kattelox to finish the war."

"Okay Drifter, I'll take the Yellow Jacket." Dragge said. Dragge left the group and went in the direction of Ostasis Island in the Yellow Jacket. Everyone else got on the drop ships to get to Nino.

[Dragge]

Chapter 10- Snowy Problems

Bon, Ira, and Axl were all on Calinca Island fighting off the reaverbots with the other diggers. Bon didn't really care for the climate at all and hoped to finish off the mission as soon as possible. There was only one other time he was on the island and it was when he, Tron, and Teisel were still pirates. Then again he was in his warm armor.

Ira was skilled at fighting and moved with ease flipping and twisting her body through the air avoiding shots from reaverbots. She had trained herself at the academy for a long time to fight in any type of terrain and weather. She knew all about how to fight on snow and ice and had a good advantage over some of the reaverbots.

Axl was like Bon and didn't care for the climate. He liked snow and all that but hated it when it was going on twenty-four hours a day. Axl had no skills in fighting on ice and at most times fell to the ground having to get back up quickly before the reaverbots got to him.

There were only two ruins located on the island and it was near one of the only towns on the island. Bon broke off from the group a while back and fought on the train tracks. Trains didn't run on them anymore so he didn't have to worry about getting hit by one. Bon was gliding through the snow when he came across a familiar cannon.

Bon picked it up and held it in his hands. He scraped off some of the snow and saw the Bonne symbol etched into the sides. To his surprise it still worked even without a generator. Bon put it on his right hand as a special weapon and blew away hundreds of reaverbots in one shot.

Bon still saw reaverbots popping up from out under the snow. Still using the Bonne Cannon, as he liked to call it, he blasted any reaverbot in sight.

Ira and Axl were fighting back-to-back and blasted away any reaverbot that approached them. Apparently, the junk shop owner had once been a digger and decided to help him out. He was out of his prime but still fought with pride.

Axl held his duel pistols and fired away at the surprising amount of reaverbot coming out of the chapel. The priest and the digger guild assistant left as soon as the reaverbot started pouring out of the ruin. Axl was helping to defend the city by fighting off any reaverbot in the graveyard.

Ira left not to long after the fight started and decided to blast any reaverbot getting into the city. Not many did but she stood there just in case. Ira had three weapons, two of them used for actual fighting. She had a buster on her left arm and held a saber in her right. Attached to her right arm was a shield capable of keeping any reaverbot and weapon projectile out.

Ira put away her saber and started relying solely on her buster which matched the color of her pink armor. People had countlessly laughed at her for the color of her armor but later regretted it when she busted them.

Reaverbots started coming into the town quicker than usually and figured something must have happened to Axl. Ira activated her shield and put it at the entrance to the city keeping the reaverbots out. Ira ran to the graves and found Axl on the ground under a huge pile of reaverbots.

Ira blasted at the reaverbots hoping to not injure Axl and finally got to him after a few seconds. Ira lifted Axl up and made a full retreat to the city. "Are you alright?" she asked laying him on the machine littered ground.

"I think." Axl said while wincing. "I feel pain in my upper back but I'm sure it'll get better."

Ira took no risks and took Axl to the rehab center where Banner once stayed at. She got a room for him and let him rest peacefully. Ira got back outside and found Bon using his new-sound cannon on the reaverbots.

"What happened?" Ira asked blasting away.

"Your shield failed and I was finished everywhere else and decided to come help out here."

"We need a base!" Ira shouted.

Bon jumped to the house where the brick wall as an entrance stood. Ira followed and got to the door to the inside of the house. Bon jumped onto the roof and started shooting from up top. The reaverbots had no clue where the blasts were coming from but started toward the fort.

Ira blasted any reaverbot that Bon couldn't reach. "When will these things stop coming?" Ira shouted over the blasts.

"How should I know? That ruin is huge and there's more reaverbots to come!" Bon couldn't have said it at a better time for six huge mammoth reaverbots came charging in the city. Some diggers that stood around tried fighting them off but three of them were indestructible. Even Bon's cannon couldn't faze them.

Bon then had an idea come to mind and dug three pits which the reaverbots then fell into and froze. Then there was a huge rumble in the distance. A huge chicken-like reaverbot busted through the gate leading to the city. It fired a huge missile and almost killed Bon.

The diggers were able to take it down without too much trouble. There weren't many more reaverbots to take down and everyone thought the reaverbots were all done for. There was two more though... the huge blob the was at one time dead. This time though, the one from Terra and Elysium came to fight.

Bon jumped out from his spot and was almost swallowed up by the reaverbots. Ira shot away but the shots just bounced off of the outer shell. Nothing that was a gun shot could get through the blob. Not even Bon's cannon reached through. Ira realized this and pulled out her saber.

She slashed through the goo and got it all over her covering her in it. Bon then used the cannon and blasted at the reaverbot's "head". After fighting one of them for a few minutes, then did the same with the other one. Before too long, that one fell as well.

Calinca was safe from the reaverbot threat. Ira and Bon went to the rehab facility and rested with Axl. "You missed it out there Axl." Bon said. "It was so freaking awesome!"

"Well, better to heal than to hurt yourself anymore." Axl responded with a smile on his face.

Ira got up and went to the nearest shower while Axl and Bon kept talking about how this war should be ending soon. They thought that since there were so many diggers, that everything would turn out for them. They were wrong though. This war would last for a good time.

[Dragge]

Chapter 11- The Ruins of Ostasis Island Part 1

Dragge quickly headed to his destination of Ostasis Island. He knew there was help there, but he felt something inside of him that he was almost too late to help out there. Something told him that the brothers had failed to destroy the reaverbots and that the diggers couldn't do anything either.

Dragge entered the docking bay on Ostasis Island. Or what used to be the docking bay. The sight that Dragge saw upon landing was the worst thing he had ever seen. The whole island was covered in flames. Not literally but enough flames that could have destroyed the cities that once stood there. Dragge didn't even land the ship before jumping thirty feet to the ground.

Dragge landed and almost fell over but quickly started sprinting to the city nearest to the docking bay. The city where he and Elunia live. he reached the outer gates and swiped his I.D. card through. There was no electronic beep like usual. He tried it again and the same thing happened. He had to have tried at least twenty times before giving it up.

Dragge got furious with the door and blasted it down with his buster. Dragge kicked the door out of the way and immediately went searching for the three brothers. The worst thing that could have happened to the island happened. Dead diggers littered what used to be such a beautiful ground. There were few left and when Dragge passed by, no one looked up to meet his eyes.

Dragge came across the three brothers and feared that they were dead as well. Dragge went right to Tim and fell on top of the body. Then he heard a cough. Then another. Dragge looked up and saw that Tim was coming to. Then Aaron and Griff did the same thing and they all sat up at once.

"We failed you Dragge. We failed the island as well. We don't have more than ten diggers excluding us." Tim said picking up his pistols."

"Don't say that at all Tim!" Dragge said smacking Tim hard in the face. "We're not finished here yet! There may be only fourteen of us, but when you've fought as many battles as I have then you'll see that when there's one person left you can't give up!"

Tim winced at the smack given from Dragge. He stood back up and realized that what Dragge said made sense. "You're right. We shouldn't give up. Not yet. We'll fight until the end." Tim looked over to Aaron and Griff and nodded. They stood up as well and collected their weapons. "This war is far from over. There are still many more islands to take back."

"I heard that almost every island has been taken back. There aren't many left to do. Many islands that don't have a strong fighter like us, has done well and took back that island." Aaron said sheathing his energy sword.

Griff looked up at his hair and quickly fixed it. "There are many more cities on the island. We should be able to help them out and wipe out the rest of the reaverbots."

"Alright. Gather the diggers and meet me by the south gate. From there, we'll win back the other cities." Dragge started walking away from the brothers.

"Where are you going?" Aaron asked adjusting his glasses.

"I'm going to check on Elunia. I haven't seen her for years and I have to make sure she's fine." Dragge said no more as he walked to their house. He noticed that it hadn't been destroyed as badly as most of the houses in the vicinity. The door was far off of its hinges and it only took another touch until it fell off of the hinges completely.

Dragge entered the dimly lit hallway and saw nothing at first. Then as he entered the kitchen, he saw blood stains along the tile floor. Tears started swelling in his eyes and didn't want to think about what happened to his wife. Dragge then walked into his bedroom and saw nothing.

Dragge saw a shadow approaching him. To his eyes it looked like a reaverbot. Dragge's anger rose with in him. He closed his eyes and spun around having his buster pointed outward to whatever reaverbot was there. "You blasted reaverbot!"

Dragge was about to shoot when he felt a hand lower the buster. He looked up and saw Elunia's smiling face right there. It took him a moment to realize that she had on her own type of armor. Dragge fell down onto the bed as he looked up in horror thinking that he could have killed his own wife.

"E.E.Elunia. I'm so sorry. I thought you were a reaverbot because of your shadow and..."

"Quiet Dragge. Everything is fine."

"But, I saw blood on the kitchen floor and thought that you might have lost to a reaverbot."

"Oh that? A reaverbot came in the house and nearly blasted me with its cannon. I jumped out of range but the stupid little thing got me with its claws. After that I headed to your workshop and found some spare pieces from armor that you worked on in the past. I threw it together in a couple welds and made sure that the buster worked."

"I went back into the kitchen and found the reaverbot with its back towards me so I blasted it into oblivion."

Dragge threw his arms around Elunia and stayed there for a minute. "It's so good to see you again Elunia. It may not be the best of times, but at least you're still alive."

"It's good to see you too Dragge. It's been far too long. Somehow I knew that you were to come back at a certain point."

"Let's go. We have to help Tim and the other diggers fight back against the reaverbots and take back our home island."

"I agree. There may be a few of us but we'll be able to do it in the end." Dragge and Elunia ran out of the house to find Tim, Aaron, and Griff standing at the south gate with the ten surviving diggers.

"Listen up. We can do this. If there are other diggers on this island fighting, it'll make things a whole lot easier. Either way, team up with diggers in the other cities." Dragge commanded.

"Yes sir!" they all replied.

"We're splitting up. Tim, Elunia, five of the diggers, and I will head to one of the cities. Aaron, Griff, and the rest of you will head in the opposite direction. As stated, find any surviving diggers and team up with them. After that, continue going through the cities until you reach the southern docking bay where we'll all meet up and go to help everyone else."

"Yes sir!" they all replied once more.

"Move out!" Dragge commanded them. They did what they were told and half of the diggers went with Aaron and Griff while the rest followed him, Tim, and Elunia. Dragge led his group with a stern look upon his face. He hated all reaverbots. Especially the ones that were trying to take over his home island.

[Dragge]

Chapter 12- The Ruins of Ostasis Island Part 2

Dragge was angered by the amount of destruction that he saw while walking to the next town with his small group. Everything was in ruins. The group would come across diggers sitting on the ground wondering what in the world had gone wrong and picked them up. After an hour or so of walking, he had a good one-hundred or so diggers by his side.

Dragge didn't care to open the door to the next city. One kick did the trick perfectly. Dragge walked in and signaled for his men to attack. Every digger there rushed in from out behind of Dragge. They fired at the reaverbots as soon as one got in range. Dragge stood back for a minute before walking off letting the shots fly around him.

Dragge got hit but took no notice of this. Instead he kept walking in a straight line. That is until he got to the middle of the battlefield. That's when he unleashed his potential. Dragge activated his autofire unit and started unleashing round after round of shots. Dragge watched without any expression on his face as he shot down every reaverbot in his line of fire.

"Tim." Dragge said not taking his eyes off of the destroyed reaverbots. Tim heard his commander and rushed over to him.

"What is it?"

Dragge said nothing for a few seconds, then looked up at his fellow solider. "I'm giving the order to destroy the reaverbots but in a different fashion. I want the diggers to put their daggers onto their busters and rush in and stab the bots right there at point blank range."

"Won't that just deplete our troops?"

"No. The reaverbots will be taken by surprise and will have no reaction but to run for it. I'm also bringing in one of the choppers to help take the reaverbots out."

Tim said no more as he went to give the order. Dragge pulled out a small put useful energy dagger and equipped it onto the front of his buster. Dragge activated the blade and made sure it worked properly.

Dragge stepped over to his men and gave the signal to rush the reaverbots. Dragge was right and the reaverbots were taken by surprise. The troops rushed in and took down as many as fifty reaverbots a minute. Dragge was a natural born leader. He was ready for this type of fighting.

One reaverbot wasn't shocked by this and tried to shoot Dragge down. Dragge sensed the reaverbot and rushed to it. The reaverbot looked to Dragge and fired bullet after bullet of hard shell shots. Dragge, though surprised to see a reaverbot using shell bullets, kept straight for the blasted thing. He could never forgive the reaverbots for destroying his home island. Dragge reached the reaverbot and sliced the head off.

The reaverbot still functioned though. Dragge realized this and took it out through where the heart area is. Then Dragge remembered... reaverbots don't have hearts. They're just cold, ruthless, and heartless robots created by accident. Dragge finished the reaverbot off but not before getting shot in the left arm.

Though Dragge was mostly machine, he still felt pain through artificial nerves placed inside his "skin". Dragge turned around to spot the reaverbot that had fired upon him. Anger in his face, Dragge blasted the reaverbot from a great distance away. Then spotted another reaverbot sneaking up behind Elunia.

Dragge was about to shoot it when Elunia saw it and took it out. Dragge then went back to attacking reaverbots around him.

Griff and Aaron lead their five people to a town opposite of where Dragge was going. They knew the reaverbots were many and in such a tight space. They had to take back the island though. This was a place where numerous people grew up and many important ones.

Along the path, the group came across many diggers recovering from random reaverbot attacks. They joined with the brothers and agreed to take back the next town. Griff lead the troops with Aaron right behind him. No one spoke a word until they were outside the city walls.

"We will set station up along every exit with at least three people so that reaverbots won't escape from our grasp." Griff said. "Aaron, you'll be one of the ones to stay out here. You're skilled enough to help these diggers out."

"Yes sir!"

Griff said no more as he took the rest of the diggers into the city. There were no buildings left at all. Anyone that had lived there dispersed quickly and the the only people there were the diggers already loosing to the huge threat.

The diggers didn't have to wait for orders before attacking the mechanical beings. Griff rushed in with his pistols drawn out and ready for battle. Reaverbots were coming over the barren plane shooting off their energy weapons trying to take down as many diggers as possible before reaching them.

Griff leaped into the smoke filled sky and landed behind the large group of reaverbots. He turned around and started firing at the first group of reaverbots. As soon as that group was done, a second group was already on him giving him almost no time to respond. His weapons were strong but he couldn't do this alone.

A digger who had lost everything to these reaverbots jumped in to help Griff. The digger had noticed that Griff was shot in the back and fell to the ground. He jumped over reaverbot trying to reach the downed commander. The digger reached Griff in time and threw him over his shoulder.

The digger blasted a few reaverbots then headed for the nearest exit. Once outside the south gate, he laid Griff down and told the other diggers to give him important medical attention.

Aaron was waiting in the bushes with an energy sniper rifle. When a reaverbot did make it out of the fighting, Aaron took it out with precision skills. Not one reaverbot made out of his sight alive.

Both battles raged on for hours that day and in the end, both were won by the diggers. Each group walked south ready to meet up with the other and also ready to take out the last group of reaverbots on the island.

Chapter 13- The Ruins of Ostasis Island Part 3

The two groups rejoined after the fighting and stormed off to the last city located on the island. They knew that the final reaverbots would be stored there. This would be the final showdown on the island. Dragge knew it. Tim knew it. Even the five hundred diggers left knew it.

Griff caught up to Dragge after running through all five hundred diggers just to talk to him. "Sir, about how many reaverbots are there in the city to come?"

"If my calculations are correct, around ten thousand reaverbots. This city has the biggest area and the reaverbots mainly stored away there for a final fight."

"They'll kill every last one of us!!!" Griff exclaimed with a wide-eyed expression pasted upon his face. "There's no way we can do this!!!"

"We'll have areal support soon. I made contact with General Trigger and he'll be bringing the Flutter around to bomb the reaverbots. When he's getting here, I don't know."

"He better get here soon or else by the time he does get here, we'd be toasted by the reaverbots."

"He'll arrive. Trust me." Dragge ended the conversation there and continued his walk towards the city located at the southern-most peninsula of the island. There were two docking stations located on the island; one located at the north peninsula and one at the southern. The raverbots had the southern docking bay and Dragge knew it all too well.

The city was huge enough for all the reaverbots to fit in there plus an extra five-thousand people. It didn't seem like too much longer before the city and its gates came into view. Dragge was the first one there and immediately sensed the trap. He turned just in time to see two reaverbots sitting in the bushes ready to spring on the troops.

Dragge activated the autofire unit and blasted the reaverbots before they could react. "Be prepared because as soon as we enter, there may not be any returning." Dragge said while looking at the smoldering remains of the reaverbots.

Dragge didn't wait for anyone else to follow. He didn't turn around but he knew that they were there. His fellow diggers were going to fight for the rest of the island. Dragge was not surprised to see the amount of reaverbots standing in his path. He didn't hesitate and started blasting away at the enemy.

He watched on as everyone else fought without fear. No one went down. These were elite diggers and knew to not take "No" as an answer.

About five hours passed and there was still no sign of Trigger or the Flutter until when Dragge gave up hope. No one fell but yet there were still too many reaverbots to keep on fighting. Dragge was about to give the retreating order when he heard a familiar voice in his head com.

"Why are you hanging your head Dragge? I thought that you were stronger than this!"

"Where are you Trigger?"

"Look right above you!" Trigger wasn't lying and Dragge saw the Flutter. Dragge laughed then gave the sign to retreat. He made sure everyone was there before allowing Trigger to release the bomb.

"Release weight!" Dragge ordered Trigger.

"Away she goes!" Trigger flew around once then released the bomb that exploded on contact.

Dragge looked up as he knew that victory was theirs. Until he saw something he didn't want to see ever again. Just as he had come back, Dagger was back as well. Dragge rushed back into the city to confront his foe. This was a battle between the two of them until some one Dragge knew well enough jumped into plain sight.

"Drifter?" Dragge asked seeing his son standing in front of him.

"I couldn't be left behind." Drifter said activating his own arsenal of weapons. Then Dragge saw a blue figure land next to Drifter. Trigger wanted a piece of the action as well.

"It's time that I get my revenge on you Dragge." Dagger announced in a cold tone. Dagger threw his arms out to his sides and both Drifter and Trigger flew across the plain. "Just you and me this time."

"You almost killed Trigger last time and I almost couldn't forgive myself. This time, I have nothing blocking my way."

"Fine. Whatever you say." Dagger jumped at Dragge and almost caught him off guard. Dragge jumped back and went into an offensive position. Dragge released a fury of attacks not stopping to attempt and destroy his opponent.

Dagger had apparently gained strength while being away. Dragge had too and both of them were too equally matched. At a point, Dagger threw Dragge into the gate and pinned him there. Drifter then came from nowhere and knocked Dagger back.

Trigger joined in as well and stopped Dagger from doing any more damage to Dragge. Dragge then got back up and helped some of his closest friends fight against his own opposite. The hours passed with neither side tiring out but Dagger did lose in the end.

Dragge had gotten the final blow with his claws while Dagger wasn't looking. "That's it for here." Drifter stated.

"Get the diggers onto transport ships. We'll ride the Flutter along with the brothers." Dragge said heading to the Flutter's ladder. "We're meeting with everyone on the Gesselschaft and discus our plan before attacking Nemesis on Kattelox and ending this war."

Dragge said nothing more as he boarded the Flutter and waited for take-off.

Chapter 14- Attack on the Flutter

Roll was piloting the Flutter as usual in her calm form not worrying about anything that was going on. No one could pilot such a big ship like Roll could. Her pilot skills were recognized as number one in the world. Roll was piloting the Flutter gently along to their destination; the Gesselschaft Mk. II

There was a problem though. Usually the sky was littered with air pirates ready to attack anything that wasn't on their side. There were no ships in the air and Roll couldn't pick up anything on her radar. She had a feeling deep down that something was going to happen, and soon.

Sure she had some protection but even that might not cut it. Dragge, Drifter, Trigger, and the three digger brothers were inside ready for any attack that might happen. They were in Roll's development room fixing up any dents in their armor. They would be ready for anything. Everything was peaceful until the Flutter was rocked by a huge explosion.

The diggers ran up to the bridge right away to get up top. Each climbed the ladder quickly and activated their busters. None of them saw a thing. That was until a stealthy ship flew right over their heads. Reaverbots. Somehow the reaverbots had the technology to build their own ships and pilot them from ground level.

"Be prepared for the next time that thing comes around." Trigger announced. "These things have the power to go invisible at will. We can't let it destroy the Flutter." Trigger attached his homing missile weapon and set it to maximum homing. He aimed up into the air at random points ready for anything to surprise them. Before Trigger knew it, he was flat on the roof with everyone else. The reaverbot struck but they couldn't see it.

Dragge was the first one back on his feet and saw where the reaverbot had gone. It was going in the safe path every time it came back around. Dragge looked to the front of the Flutter and saw the reaverbot rise up from out under the Flutter. Immediately everyone started firing away like crazy. The shots weren't doing anything though. The shots just bounced off and everyone realized that it had to have a certain weak spot.

Drifter jumped onto the reaverbot to search for the point. Before he could get a good look though, the reaverbot threw Drifter off back onto the Flutter. There was nothing that anyone could do but try to distract the reaverbot until they reached the Gesselschaft. This would take along time because of the fact that the Gesselschaft was fending off other pirates and on the other side of Terra.

The battle versus the reaverbot was going on for a long time that it didn't seem too long before the sky was turning into it's beautiful red color of the sun setting. The group of diggers were tired though. They couldn't do much more of anything and knew that if they went, then the war would be pretty much over. They were the main generals of the war and helped their team to victory. After them, there weren't too many people that had their kind of skills.

Trigger was about to give the retreat signal but stopped himself while he looked into the sky with surprise. Flying at high speed were two, very familiar, ships. One was white and the other was yellow. Right away Trigger knew that help had arrived. Gatz and Geetz were flying straight to the massive reaverbot creation ready to fire at ready. Yuna and Sera were riding the backs of the two servitor units' ships.

"Fire at will Gatz." Yuna said to her partner.

"Understood Mistress Yuna." Gatz started firing at the reaverbot and Geetz started right after him. Within seconds, the reaverbot blew up falling down to the sea below them. Gatz and Geetz lowered the ships to allow Yuna and Sera off.

"Yuna, Sera, thanks for the help." Trigger said.

"No problem Master Trigger. Anything for you." Sera said in her usual tone.

"If you don't mind, we need someone to escort us to the Gesselschaft. We're going to be meeting up with everyone else there in a bit. This war is almost over and we know it. We just have to take out the last group of reaverbots and pirates." Trigger said.

"Alright. We'll make sure you guys get there." Yuna said while jumping back on top of Gatz. Gatz took off. Sera jumped back on Geetz and took off ready to help out any way possible. The group of diggers lowered back into the Flutter.

"We have escorts Roll. They'll do their job." Trigger said before walking out the door.

"I hope you're right Megaman." Roll said to herself piloting the ship in the nighttime sky.
