If you are interested, the music I listened to when originally typing this was "Beethoven Virus" It fits really nicely…

Anyway, yeah I really did have this typed up a while ago, but eheh, … Soooo, here it is! *nervous smile*

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

The cyberspacian plain's ground exploded with a force like a volcano. And Omega appeared grasping a squirming soul.

The navy black being writhed, "What the heck?"

Omega snarled, and to the reploid's soul, the sound consumed everything else, "Submit!"

"No!" Screamed the soul in the body at the invading being, "I can't! I won't!"

"Why aren't you under me yet?" snarled Omega taking his hand and pinning down the other being.

"Let me go!" The reploid shuddered and he looked at Omega out of the corner of one eye, "Zero, why are you doing this?"

Omega laughed maniacally, "That fake? Long gone."

"Zero, stop, please!"

Omega slammed the red-haired reploid to the ground they both stood on, "He's not going to help you. And I doubt he would even remember you!"

The reploid grunted and kicked at Omega, but the virus nimble back flipped landing easily on one foot, the other out behind him to keep his balance. To find the reploid body's personality in a tense crouch

The reploid leaped high, somersaulting bringing it's heel down on Omega, "You lie! Zero would never forget me."

The God of Destruction grabbed his leg with smirk that clearly stated he was enjoying this, "Why lie when telling the truth is much, much more enjoyable?" with that Omega swung around like he was throwing a discus and threw the soul. He continued in the circle blindingly fast and leapt, using the momentum to get past the reploid. Landing, he whirled around, and in that split second, snapped out a kick that gave him an almost satisfying whoosh as the soul got the wind knocked out of him.

"Then it's too bad that he already has, He nearly forgot X. What makes you think he knows who you are, Axl?" Omega calmly started walking over to the reploid, ever so slowly and stopped a few paces away.

The reploid in question rose uncertainly to his feet clutching his chest with his left arm. He spat out a mouthful of reploid blood, or something like it, before responding; "I think that because I know him better than you."

Omega nearly doubled over in laughter, "Ah, that's rich. You think you are the only one who knew him since you were created?"

Axl looked slightly uncertain through his expression of defiance. But then smiled, changing the topic "I just realized why you can't control me."

The God of Destruction sneered, "Oh really? Your mistake there—" he suddenly leapt forward and halted very briefly, his face inches away from Axl's, with one of his trademark malicious smiles "—is that I can't control you."

Axl had no time to react to the speed of the demonic virus as Omega crouched, dodging the navy blue reploid's harried punch, and rolled between his legs. The demon firmly placed one hand on either side of him and snapped both armored boots in the back of a surprised Axl.

He was sent sprawling face first into the cyberspace terrain; Axl weakly turned his head desperately searching for the gleeful red demon. Before he had a chance to recover, he felt a painful pressure on the upwards side of his head causing him to cry out in pain.

Omega laughed mirthfully, "Oh, poor misinformed soul. You have been sleeping longer than that pitiful fake."

"Fake?" Axl grunted, "What are you talking abou—ahh!" He cried out as Omega stomped on his head viciously.

"Speak silence. There is no need for words unless they're a scream of agony or something of the like," The God of Destruction gave him a feral smile, "If that's the case, feel free to let it out."

It's no good, at this rate I'm done for. Whoever this is, it's not Zero. Axl's mind raced for an idea of any sort to get him out of this predicament. The copy system! Why didn't I think of it before? If I can just buy enough time to defrag my DNA record files, I might have a shot at getting out of this.

"Monster." hissed Axl.

Omega gave him an even wider grin, clearly enjoying himself, "But of course, but you knew that already, didn't you?"

"What makes you think you know Zero better than I do? If anyone's the fake around here, it's you." Axl growled, while determinedly running the defragging programs. C'mon, c'mon, hurry up! I'm in a bit of a time crunch here.

Omega frowned slightly, "Figures, That bleeding-heart never would have told you. He barely remembered why he sealed me. What a fool, trying to lock me away like that."

"I think you're just talking to yourself now, buddy," Axl quipped trying to keep this Red Demon distracted.

Omega scowled. He reached down and grasped the spiky mane of reddish-brown hair jutting out from Axl's helmet, pulling fiercely to force Axl to look at him.

Axl gave a pained laugh, "Never mind. I guess it's only talking to yourself if nobody's listening." Getting close, 98.6% defragged. 99.1…99.7…defragging complete.

"You think you're pretty funny don't you?" said Omega, irritably, "Jokes won't get you anywhere with me."

"Yeah, I kinda figured, but hey, there's no harm in trying right?" Axl smiled, "You know my name, but that doesn't mean you know who I am or what I can do." Let's see, I've got Raffelsian no, bad movement unless I get hit, wait? I know I'm not gonna be able to dodge too well so he'll hit me then all I gotta to is evade… no, that won't work. I'm trying to get away. I can't take all the hits in between…What about… oh this'll work. But I need to get in the air…and I've never liked using this particular form…

Omega returned the grin, "True, but that won't matter in a few moments. It's been ages since you've done anything, so I'm not worried about that."

Axl gave a confused look, "Huh?"

The red demon rolled his eyes, "Not the brightest of the bunch either." But then he pause when he saw Axl's smug expression, realizing something was wrong, "What do you find so funny?"

Axl shook his head cheerily, "You know it's usually not a good thing to like the sound of your own voice."

"Enough of your smart aleck replies, " Omega snarled and tightened his grip on Axl's hair, "You should think of this of your last moment..."

"…Because it is!" With a terrifying roar, the red demon whirled the navy black repliod high into the air preparing to back flip a kick Axl on his way down. But he paused in mild surprise when he saw the glow of his victim.

"So you do have an ace up your sleeve…" He mused then altered his stance chuckling at the pun, "Good, I could do with a little fun."

When the light cleared the reploid was not Axl, but rather someone like him, "Only a little? Pity, here I expected you to wonder where I got the DNA."

Omega shook his head, "Not really, you were a bounty hunter after all."

Axl blinked. So he really thinks I'm…? Well this might work better than I had hoped for…

"You knew?"

Omega smiled, "I know a lot more than I let on."

Does he know this is only a transformation? Oh, please let him not, if he does I'm gonna have one heck of a time getting out of this one. I can hold this form almost indefinitely… but not if I take a bunch of hits…wait, the craters…!

"Is that so?" Axl said the rich voice of the form, and then leaped up, flinging a handful of thin rectangular blades at Omega, "As much as I would like to stay and chat, I really should go."

The God of Destruction snarled, lunging as the last slim blade passed his path, but to his surprise the demon passed into nothingness. He couldn't believe it. Omega's head snapped viciously from side to side scrutinizing the cratered landscape for his ticket out. He let out an enraged scream as he saw that it had vanished.

A faint wind tousled his hair so that he looked like a nightmare.

His only viable chance…gone!

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Well, not quite, Axl was still right in front of him. Standing as still as he could to conserve the form's stealth mode. When Omega had his back turned Axl simultaneously dropped the form and activated his own stealth mode. With his own running he activated his silence thrusters hovering silently before making a mad dash for the horizon. He knew that it would create a wind, but he prayed that the demon wouldn't notice.

But in this world where he was not quite whole spirit or real, he could only wonder what he would end up doing now.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Author's notes:

HA! Come on! You totally had to see that one coming! So now we have my all time favorite reploid… This was late also because I went ahead an did the epilogue…

I gave my regular beta, SubZeroChimera, a break this time so she can go work on her own stories, it was read through by my sister. If I'm missing anything obvious please tell me politely.
