Deathtanz Mantisk bangs on a gavel, signifying the end of court.

Mantisk: I'm sorry Redips, but we are denying you of your plans on using the Force Metals as an optimal source of power for newer age Reploids.Redips gritted his teeth.

Redips: If we are to.. Help the humans, its best that we Reploids upgrade to even greater potential.

The right side of the court rubbed their head. Cubit Foxtar takes the microphone from Mantisk.

Foxtar: Redips, from the Giga City incident report to which was give by the deceased X and Maverick Hunter Zero, it reads, and I quote:

Foxtar clears throat.

Foxtar: "From the overall report this file I have given you, and from physical evidence in the PDF, page 12, section 4 sub section 2.The Force Metals, although able to boost the powers and intelligence of the Reploids it interacts with; also give them Maverick-like symptoms upon long term exposure and use."

Foxtar then puts down the holographic pdf.

Redips: So a few Reploids were turned into Mavericks. A small minority in a city like Giga City.

Tretista Kelverian slams his hands on the table to get Redip's attention.

Kelverian: If you hadn't noticed Redips, but that 'minority' of Reploids turned Maverick and assisted with a rebelling force insistent on doing damage to the world. There is no telling what this can do if given out to the wider part of the world. So considering the Mother Elf was cursed during the Elf Wars, we would have no way of stopping another outbreak in terms of 'peaceful means'.

Blazin Flizard took to talking with Redips next.

Flizard: Not only that, but with the interrogations we heard with the Mavericks during the Giga City Incident, it appears we have a mole within our ranks with the confessions made by Botos.

Redips balled his hand into his fist, getting more nervous. Thankfully, Childre Inarabitta ended the court.

Childre: Enough. We can pick this up tomorrow.

The rest of the Judges nodded and ended the court, leaving the building.

Alouette sat at a table waiting for Omega to start the story. Omega ordered E-Crystals.

Omega: Surely you want to eat? 

Alouette shook her head no.

Omega: Alright so..

Omega is sitting on a hillside where he sees a bunch of Mavericks taking over a Repliforce Sub.

Omega: Should I even interfere? They're doing my job anyway...Omega shook his head.

Omega: Nah.

Omega jumped down and landed on a Met, crushing it.

Omega: Hey boys, do you have a permit for living?

The other Mavericks opened fire on Omega. Omega simply dodged all the shots, all the while cutting them apart. 

Maverick Soldier 1: Damn this guy is fast!

Maverick Soldier 1 gets cut in half.

Omega: Or you're too slow.

He shrugs his shoulders.

Omega: Maybe it's both.

More Mavericks began to shoot at Omega. But Omega was getting bored and decided to get a certain thrill from it. He deactivated his O saber and cracked his knuckles. 

Omega: Come on! 

Omega came up to one Maverick Soldier and picked him up, using him as a shield, running at a group of soldiers. The soldier was shredded apart by his comrades' fire. Omega threw the corpse onto one of the soldiers and began to just one shot every Soldier with his bare fists. He destroyed every Soldier except one, who was shaking with his buster out.

Omega: I'll make this fair: you get one good shot on me.

Omega walked up to him at point blank range. The soldier fired and Omega dodged it. He moved behind him and knocked him to the ground. Omega grabbed the back of the Soldiers head and gripped it hard, crushing it. Omega was about to behead him, but realized the submarine was gone.

Omega: Damn it, I got carried away. Hey guy, do you know where a nearby Ride Bike is? No? Rude.

Omega threw the Soldier across the harbor and onto the sandy beach.

Surviving Soldier: I-I survived I sur-

He heard sniffing sounds and saw Flame Stag over him. Omega sees a ride bike and jumps onto it, riding towards where the Submarines was going: it wasn't fully submerged yet. Omega sees Jet Stingray above him.

Omega: Hey flat face, is that yours? You shouldn't have left the keys in.

Stingray: A funny guy huh? Let me just get it back then.

Jet Stingray was about to use his volley of Ground Hunter on Omega, but was shot out of the sky by a salvo of rockets. 

Launch Octopus: That's not happening anytime soon.

Omega hits the accelerator of his bike and uses a rock as a ramp to get onto the Submarine. He used his O Saber, cutting a hole in the hull and entering that way.

Omega ventured down, the only resistance he faced was some turrets. He then hit a door to which he opened to reveal the Maverick burying himself in gold. He looked like Magma Dragoon albeit with significant differences: he had an Eel like neck with horns and a missing eye on the right. He was a cyan and teal color.

Laser Leviathan: Ha Ha! I love this gold.

Omega: Quick question, what's the point of a Maverick taking gold if he can't use it?

Laser Leviathan turned to Omega.

Laser Leviathan: status: it makes you look like a winner.

Omega was confused, but before he could answer, Laser fired a Particle Beam at Omega. Omega dodged it but before the laser reflected and hit him in the back. Laser continued to pepper the room with particle beam fire: Something to which Omega can't block nor dodge. Omega dropped to his knees.

Laser Leviathan: For being a shock troop, I expected more.

 Before he can go for the killing shot, Omega, laughing, grabbed Laser by the chest and jumped back.

Laser Leviathan: W-What did you do?

Omega created a transparent cyan duplicate.

Omega: I took your powers!

Omega with his new weapon Mirrored Rage, leaps at Laser. Laser tried to shoot at him, but Omega dodged and used his duplicate to attack him, frying his circuits. Dazed, Laser tries to get away but a thud hits the Submarine and causes malfunctions. On the outside, Tidal Whale froze the engines and was punching the Submarine. With merely seconds, Omega splits Laser Leviathan in two.

 Omega: This is Hunter Omega, I'm returning to base.

Alia: Copy Hunter Omega.

Omega teleports away back to base. Tidal Whale begins to try and pry open the subs hull, only until he feels a sharp pain in his back. Tidal Whale floats back, being pushed aside by a blue female reploid.Is the Hadron Collider still intact?

Fairy Leviathan: Yes, it seems to be intact from all the roughhousing.

Omega ends his story with Alouette in amazement. Before Alouette can say anything, running footsteps and yelling can be heard from the hall.

Omega: What is going on?

Omega alongside other Hunters peaked out from their corners and saw Axl on a stretcher with Chill Penguin ordering everyone to move out of the way. Palette is monitoring his condition via a tablet.

Axl: I-I saw...X!
