They sprinted ahead without her; when he turned back to where she was, Valor sprayed flames from their maw in order to prevent any more viruses from going forward.

But, she only did that because she didn't want him to help her; Valor wanted him to rescue those who's in more danger than she was.

The crackling wall of fire growled as if it was a live beast, all he could do now was to push onward.

"Don't worry about them, kid. They're a lot tougher, but that doesn't mean they can hold off forever, let's go!" His partner encouraged.

'He's right...they can crush me if they wanted to. Midnight is upon us. . .' Although he remained unsure and uneasy, he went on.

Down the road ahead, the enormous figure kept growing larger and larger as he neared each step. He became more and more nervous as well as deeply terrified at the sight, he gulped.

Luna and Zack were sprawled and knocked out on the ground on either side of him, they weren't hurt too badly; much to his relief. But they were still injured, it made him braver, however; he still dreaded the moment that he'll be a flattened blue stain on the floor. . .

The giant stopped operating the control panel of the steering system and sniffed, ". . . What's that smell?" At this point, the boy was trembling slightly.

It turned.

Its merging partner grumbled in dismay. "Mmmmrrrrgh! And who are you?!"

Their target, who took only a few steps on turning around, can shake the area a bit by its weight.

"(Eep! He's freaking huge!)" The boy was starting to sweat a little, when compared to his own enemy; it seemed like it's more than twice his size! He looked like an ant to him. The red giant loomed over him, his hooves grinding the floor panels and braying a sigh; smiliar to that of an animal.

His partner ignored his comment, "Hey, long time no see, Taurus!" He huffed, but sounded eager, like he's asking a challenge from it.

The fiery figure rose within the flames in front of them, he had horns of a bull, his whole body was fire, and he crossed his arms. "Mmmmrrrrgh! . . ." the opposing alien observed the boy. "Hmm?? Haven't we met somewhere before?" He took interest on the head that was supposedly where the boy's hand was.

"Hmph! You really are as hard-headed as a cow!" The kid started to sweat bullets, not liking how his partner is encouraging him to get angrier than he already was. . .

Once again, the FM-ian did a braying sigh. "Mmmmrrgh! Omega-Xis?!"

(A/N: Pronunciation; "Omega", then "sis". Like SIS-ter.)

"Are you the only FM-ian that came to Earth?" He questioned.

"Yup, so far! But that's because I'm the fastest! Don't worry, the other guys'll be here in a bit!"

'Th- there's more. . . of them? Wh- what if? . . .' He panicked.

Omega-Xis, his partner hummed. The foe laughed wildly, "By the way, you picked a real loser as a host!" The boy seems to be shaken and his partner growled. "Strong, powerful people, that's the way to go!"

"Shut up!" Omega snapped. "I'll win no matter who my host is!"

"H- hey, Mega. . . you never told me our enemy would be someone like him. . ." He responded nervously.

It laughed loudly again, "Moowhahahahaha!! Take a good look at Taurus Fire! Seem familiar?" The boy froze, he could've sworn he saw him in there...

His partner called out his name, "hey! Don't just stand there!"

"I don't believe it. . ." His eyes widened in realization.

"Yup! Ya picked a real winner there, Omega-Xis! I'm going to mow you down and take back the Andromeda Key!!"

'A- Andromeda Key. . . Just like when those two attacked me for it...' He thought.

His partner growled, angier than the last one. "So you really do plan to attack this planet!"

"The King's commands are absolute! Using Bud's body, the destruction of this town will signal the attack on Earth! Bud... No, I mean Taurus Fire!" The alien disappeared! The boy took on a defensive stance in reflex! "Destroy them!! If you do, the Prez will also appreciate you!" Omega gritted his teeth.

The gigantic, Wave Changed version of Taurus stomped, sending a rumble through out the area! "Mmmmrrrgh!! I'm powerful! If I show the Prez my strength, she'll need me!! MMMRRRRGH!!" Taurus Fire roared into the air!

"He's coming! Face forward!!"

"W- wait a sec!! How am I supposed to face him at all?" The boy in blue was trembling in fear.

"Stop flipping out! Trust in my power and strength!" Omega-Xis lashed.

"Trust? Easy for you to say. . ."

"Stop your chattering!" The raging bull began to charge up! "Here he comes!"

(EXTENDED)
WAVE BATTLE, RIDE ON!

[TAURUS FIRE - 400 HP]

[? ? ? - 100 HP]

Their main target dash forward with their shoulder! He was still shaken slightly, so he put up his shield impulsively!

*CRACK!*

"Argh!" He flew a few feet from the impact!

-25 DMG
[? ? ? - 75 HP]

"You gotta remember..." They both grunted in pain. "Bodily attacks break through your guard..."

"MMMMRRRRGH!!"

"Here he comes again!" His partner warned.

The great bull-like Wave Changer scraped the floor with his hooves, readying himself again!

"MMMRRRGH!! OX TACKLE!"

"Quick! Counter, kid!"

He threw the battlecard and Omega-Xis swallowed it!

*ZZZT!*

"URAGH!!"

Before Taurus could ram him into the module, he fired his PlasmaGun1! The arc of electricity wrapped around, paralyzing the giant enemy in the process!

"JetAttack1!" He uses another card and vaulted in retaliation!

-30 DMG
-100 DMG
[TAURUS FIRE - 270 HP]

"URGH! I'LL CRUSH YOU FOR THAT!" The paralysis wore off and he zipped towards him!

"Oh, shoot!"
'Zack!'

*BAM!*
*CRACK!*

Taurus raised, then brought his metal fists down to the ground; the blue barrier shattered while he protected Zack!

"Urg!" He hissed in pain.

-10 DMG
[? ? ? - 65 HP]

"RAGH!!" He lifted his leg!

"Behind you!"

"BISON STOMP!" Their opponent slammed his hoove onto the him as he moved an unconscious Zack out of the way!

*CLANG!*

"Urk!" Omega transformed into a sword to block Taurus' stomp, but he was slowly getting crushed! Webs of cracks began form below!

-15 DMG
[? ? ? - 50 HP]

"MOOWAHAHAHA! DIE OMEGA-XIS!" Taurus laughed at the their desperation. . .

Beads of sweat drippled down his face. "Urk... I- I won't lose!" He slipped underneath him and avoided his doom!

He swung his blade, slicing his backside!

"URAGH!!! YOU LITTLE CREEP!"

-80 DMG
[TAURUS FIRE - 190 HP]

He tried to use his flamebreath, but they easily evaded it. Embers and spots of flames still covered most of the field.

"We've barely made it halfway. . . C'mon, we're almost finished with him!"

He panted, "*huff, huff*...*huff, huff*... H- he's so strong. . ." Their health was also halfway...

Putting his hands on his knees, he panted tiredly, scrapes were all over both of them.

"OX TACKLE!"

"Move!" His FM-ian yelled.

"Ugh!!" He didn't have enough stamina to dash out of the way!

He crashed to the floor!

"Urg... G- get up, kid. . ." Omega-Xis uttered, drained out.

-30 DMG
[? ? ? - 20 HP]

"Urk!...I- I can barely stay awake..." He panted harder, struggling to keep standing after that hit. His pink visor was cracked, even Omega-Xis where his hand was showed pain.

"MMMMRRRGH! OX TACKLE!!"
He gasped! "L- Luna!. . ."
'I- I can't protect her!...'

Luna laid right in front of him, he tried to move, but his legs felt like a pile of bricks and lead...

He fell on his knees, grasping his arm in pain. "What are you doing?! Urg! M- move!!"

"ROOOOOAAAAGH!!"

"I- I. . . Can't!. . ."

*BAM!*

"URAGH!!"

"!" Right before Taurus Fire could trample them... "I- it's them!"

"Valor. . . You're such a soft-hearted fool. . ." Chroma grumbled.

-30 DMG
[VALOR - 40 HP]

Scratches, burns, and scrapes littered their body. Val and Chroma themselves weren't in such a great shape either.

"Hahaha... I bet'cha miss me, huh?" She briefly ignored the stinging pain and smirked, Val poised herself. "C'mon, let's show 'em what we got!"

"H- he's too powerful. . ."

"Stop complaining like a little kid and let's show that hotshot that he doesn't have anything on us!"

"It's easier said than done. . ."

"Shut it, kid!" Even Val got tired of the protests he was sending her way.

"!"

"So, what? You gonna give up right now, right when someone needs us? She confronted Taurus...

"Mooowahahahaha! Your flames are nothing! You gonna burn me, little girl?!"

"Grrr, we'll see about that!" Chroma and Val both felt strange, as if their souls were made of fire.

"Barrier!" A blue aura formed around her when she crushed a battlecard in her hand. "I'll keep fighting on, even if I have 1 HP left! Bring it on, you fiery piece of oversized beef!"

Their enormous foe grumbled in anger, "R- RED... MMMMRRRRGH!!!"

'Crud! Bulls HATE red!' She had to move away from the others, while Taurus was sent on a rampage!

The sheer amount of flames enveloping most of the battlefield were causing a stifling humidity, Omega-Xis along with his partner were still frozen in their place. . .

"W- we have to move. . ." Omega grunted.

He didn't responded, because both of them knew that they had sustained too much damage.

"MOOOO! YOUR FLAMES ARE PUNY!" He zoomed and crushed the panels with his fists again as Val had avoided it!

"Let's see about that! Blazing Boomerang!!" Both Chroma and Valor shouted, releasing the flaming ring towards their foe!

'She's doing her best to protect all of us. . . But! -'

She thought that the ring could still slice through with pure damage, despite the elements. . .

"Mooowahahaha!"

Their HP still remains. . .

-40 DMG
[TAURUS FIRE - 140 HP]

[VALOR - 40 HP]

"H- he caught it?!?" The ring of fire was burning his hand, but it did little to no damage!

"Valor!"

"ROOOGH!" Taurus hurtled the boomerang right back at her!

She managed to evade it, "VAL! Behind you!" It looped backwards! She vaulted to her right, but it was too late for her to dodge it!

"Uragh!" It passed through her barrier, incinerating it and hitting directly at her back!

"Valor!" He shouted.

-30 DMG
[VALOR - 10 HP]

She was smacked onto the floor like a fly being swat at. . . Him and Omega attempted to stand up; only to be brought down on his knees again, out of breath.

They could see their body becoming strange, it was like static, "What's... Happening to them?..."

"Since they're in such an unstable state. . . at this point, their bodies will defuse, and they'll be forced out of their Wave Form..."

Her back stung, they could only see her lying in the ground, her chest slowly going up and down. Valerie trembles as she tries to move, her body protested.

"Chr- Chroma . . ."

"W- we have to pulse out. . ."

"N- no. . .we c- can't. . ." Valor stood on wobbly legs, Taurus laughed at her feeble attempts. "*huff, huff*... We...g- gotta win, for the sake of others. . ."

She crushed a battlecard in her hand. Recover10.

+10 HP
[VALOR - 20 HP]

"W- we have to try!" She wheezed in pain. "No... We w- will. . . WIN!"

A sudden eruption of energy and courage flared within Chroma and Valor, she felt an abrupt shift inside of her.

"EAT MY FLAMES!!" He breathed out a wave of fire!

The tidal wave of flames swallowed her up! "VALOR!!" The boy in blue hopelessly shouted.

"MOOOWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

. . .

"ELEMENTAL CHANGE!"
"Elemental change!!"

"Hmm??"

"Wh- what??"

Upon hearing this, the figure in deep blue color blew against the fire!

"SPECTRAL SCREAM!!"

Everyone's ears caught sounds of Val and Chroma's combined voices!

"I- is that?!..."

Omega-Xis finished his sentence for him, "Ice!"

"Mmmrrgh?!? An Aqua-type?!?"

The frigid blast of ice washes away the embers on the field and dominated over the wave of fire!

"MMMMRRRRGH!!!" Their fearsome opponent tumbled backwards, shrieking in pain.

-80 DMG
[TAURUS FIRE - 60 HP]

They emerged out of the misty water vapor around them. "It's time to cool off, hothead!" Valor bellowed, determined because of this newfound power.

"All this fire was getting quite old." Chroma joined in.

"Heh... I would say the same thing. . ." Omega-Xis didn't look like it, but he was smirking. Just like Valor and Chroma was.

"At least Valor... Isn't hurt. . ." He said.

Val sensed as if...this power coursed within her very being; as if it flowed inside her veins.

She doesn't even feel that much furious anymore, though, she does feel quite a bit smug now that she has an Elemental Change.

Her eyes remained blood red, everything else has a different color scheme.

Instead of her four horns curving forwards, it arched back. Chroma's eyes were aquamarine, their body had a huge variety in shades of blue. The spikes were replaced mostly with webs like a sea creature, and her talons were extra razor-sharp to grip the slippery ice.

"MOOO! BISON ST- "

*THUD!*

'Get a grip.' She thought as she walked around mockingly, seeing that his hooves don't exactly help on floors covered with icy sheets.

When walking around, her talons made a distinct tapping sound against the ice.

The red bison punched the ice, shattering it. He used his flames to melt it, but Val continued to taunt him.

"MMMMRRGH!! OX TACKLE!"

"Valor! Take this!" He threw some kind of battlecard, she easily caught it and used it.

"Let's show him how it's done!" Both Chroma and Valor's voices and movements were synchronized, she gracefully skated across the battlefield!

"LongSword!!"

"ROOOOOGHHH!!!"

Valor skimmed across like a blue lightening bolt! She twirled and spun, slicing Taurus Fire in a blink of an eye!

[TAURUS FIRE - 0 HP]

The formidable opponent finally fell on his knees, Valor drained her energy and reverted back to her original form. She too, had weak legs; she panted and her companion helped her up.

Val spotted something glinting on the floor. . . '1000z.'

"M- Mega. . ." They both looked at Taurus. "Don't be too happy...You both may have beaten me...but we'll..." His body became unstable, just like Valor before. "Andromeda...K...for sure . . ." The FM-ian materialized out of Bud, flashing brightly until the whole area was blinded by the light! "Ooooooowww!!!"

"Ack! My eyes!" She covered her eyes with her arm out of instinct. When the flash dissipated, she looked around. "He's gone... Finally. . ."

They both breathed heavily. "We...won... I can't believe it. . ."

"See? Didn't I tell you to rust me? That was our power just now." Omega-Xis stated.

"Hey! We should be the ones saying those lines!" She gave a playful pat to his back. "Don't steal our lines!"

"Whatever! Hey, kid. Give me a little more credit, OK?"

He sighed. ". . .OK."

Val butted in, "Correction: 'US'. You know you aren't the only ones facing him there!"

Omega grumbled to himself, then resumed. "We stopped the truck, and beat Taurus! Time to skeddadle!"

"Omega-Xis, you know these humans care for each other. They aren't going to just run." Chroma chimed in.

"Yeah, what about the Triple Threat here?" They both took a worried glance to the three, Bud was back to his normal self at least.

Omega explained. "The FM-ian to this Space is gone."

Chroma finished it for him, "they should be returning to the Real World soon."

"That's a relief." He said. "By the way," he glanced at Mega. "What's with this Andromeda?"

Both him and his partner took a weary look at Valor and Chroma. "What? I'm not going to try anything funny." Val pointed with an accusing finger. "You just dragged him into this mess, heck, you didn't even tell him whatever this 'Andromeda' was?"

Mega hummed. ". . . Heh. It's one of their treasured items."

'Tresured items? We all know it's a lot more than just that.' Valor knew he's lying, 'Now's not the best time to fight after this though. . .'

Valor chose to sit, tired of talking and standing around. She moved a bit further away from him to speak with Chroma about this.

"(Chroma. . .)" she sat crissed-crossed, arm over the other.

"(We should take them on right now...)" He growled lowly.

"(That's not the best choice right now...)"

"(This is the perfect timing right now! Sieze this chance, Valor!)"

While she was talking to his own partner, Mega's partner suddenly jumped. "Maybe?! Sounds like more trouble!!" When Mega lashed, the kid basically screamed and flipped out, "huh?! Don't say it like it was a piece of cake!"

"(Chroma! Even this kid doesn't know what he's getting into! What if?!) -"

"(What if Omega uses it for himself?)"

She bit back. "(If he does, why didn't he used it right now?? If not, earlier??)"

"(Grrr...)" Chroma paused for a moment. "(. . .Fine, we'll wait and see. But that doesn't mean we're completely allies to them. . .)"

"(Alright. . .)"

They regrouped and moved the three (or Triple Threat as Valor likes to call them) unconscious people, then gently placed them near the control module.

"*sigh* At least the EM Viruses aren't as aggressive anymore..." Val yawned.

Before the conversation even began, one of the three started to shift around.

"Nngh. . ." Luna sounded out, she looked around with half opened eyes. "B- Bud?..."

He spoke up. "He's fine. He's returned to his normal self."

She squinted, "D- did you save us...? Who are you?" She switched her gaze to Valor.

In response to Luna's attention directed at her briefly, she moved behind the boy in blue (which he sweatdropped at); while still having her arms crossed. Val adjusted her head at an angle and activated her mask, suddenly timid. "(I- I'm pulsing out...)"

Leaving him alone with the rest, the boy turned frantic at her question, "Me...? I'm, uh. . ." He took a quick side glance at Omega-Xis. "(Mega. . .)"

Omega whispered back.

"I'm, uh. . . I'm Mega Man!"

Even he also pulsed out.

". . . Mega Man." She uttered out weakly.
