Mega Man Eclipse 4

...and now.

Remembering all of the other major events that led him to battle, he realized what had been holding him back. He didn't care if he died fighting against the Mavericks, but he had always cared about losing others to them. He had thought about not fighting over the sake of finding a more peaceful solution...but he never realized that it would just create more pain and suffering for others who were involved in it. And all of the people from his world and creatures from Equestria that he had lost, especially Athena, had made him question his logic.
"I'm tired of living in a world threatened by evil people like Creis and Corona!" He said, opening his eyes.
"Transfer me so I can finish this! So I can end all the pain and suffering we've gone through! I'm not going to give up...not when we're this close!"
"Then it's decided..." Said Tyrad, sensing the motivation surging from him.
"Dimitri, prepare the teleporter. The rest of you, give Ragammia whatever energy you have left in your Sub Tanks."
"Understood." She replied. Ragammia then walked up to his friends to receive the Sub Tanks before he left.
"Good luck, Ragammia. We're all depending on you." Said Velga.
"You can do it, Ragammia! We're all rooting for you!" Said Vuro.
"We believe in you, Ragammia. We know you will finish this." Said Yoshone.
"I really wish I was fighting up there with you. You better not lose, Ragammia!" Said Demon.
"You're more than just the second Mega Man, Ragammia. You're my friend. Victory is yours if you believe in it!" Said Mateo. Ragammia then took the six Sub Tanks his friends gave him (Demon had an extra full one) and then stepped onto the teleporter.
"Preparations have been completed. You're ready to go, Ragammia; we'll be waiting for you when you win." Said Dimitri.
"I'm proud to be leading someone like you along with everyone else in this Base. Everything is in your hands now." Said Tyrad.
"Thank you, everyone." Ragammia responded.
"Now let's do this." He then teleported out of the home of the ESF and into the floating mass that hung in the air above.
"I'm nervous." Said Vuro.
"We all are, Vuro." Velga Responded.
"Including me."

Ragammia arrived inside the mass of junk and examined his surroundings. He then recognized the four, sideways teleporters and realized that he was in the part with Creis' Tower.
"The enormous energy source is coming from the very middle of the area. If you can destroy it, the junk you're in will break apart." Said Dimitri.
"Got it." Said Ragammia, dashing through the remnants of Creis' Tower and trekking down the sideways passageway where the elevator was. However, as he continued down the passageway, the entire area began to glitch until he was in cyberspace.
"What the...?! Dimitri, something pulled me into cyberspace!" But his coms were down, as all he could hear on the other end was static.
"Dimitri? Dimitri?! No answer...I'll just have to find my own way out." He said, continuing down the path he was in until he went through a door and found a familiar corkscrew staircase waiting for him.
"This is...the Solar Power Plant! But it was decommissioned a few years ago..." He then approached the staircase.
"...this is where I fought Crimson." For some reason even in cyberspace, the area had no enemies or security measures.
"But where's the security mechaniloids?" He then dashed up the staircase until he went through a door that lead him to the roof.
"It's just how I remember it...nearly." He said, looking around.
"Nothing is." He then jerked his head around to find Crimson, who had spontaneously appeared behind him.
"Crimson!" He yelled.
"Don't tell me I have to go through you again!"
"Nothing is ever the same. Even if it's the same place and same enemy." He repeated.
"What?" Ragammia Said, confused.
"But you'll be stuck fighting the same battles...whether the circumstances are the same or different..."
"You...you're not Crimson." Said Ragammia.
"Am I?" He responded.
"Are you even Ragammia anymore?" The area then glitched until Ragammia was back in the sideways elevator, but at the other end.
"What was that?" He said, continuing through the elevator until he found himself heading into the remains of the Darkling Hive. On the walls were dried-up, purple liquid that had lost most of its color while decayed and shredded banners of the Darkling symbol hung on the wall. Ragammia then found a broken, purple door on the left of him and slashed it apart with his saber before proceeding into a room with more dried up Darkling Acid and decayed banners, but also a tunnel created by the damage done to the hive and a crumbled throne in front of it.
"No good memories come out of this..." He said, heading towards the tunnel. But before he could step inside, the area around him suddenly glitched again and Ragammia found himself in the middle of Megatropolis City, except he heard screaming all around him and saw a medium-sized, purple rock that had crashed into the side of a building and had created a fire.
"What's happening now?" He said. He then took a moment to examine his surroundings before he realized what he was witnessing.
"Wait...this was ten years ago when the Darklings first arrived! That's the rock they came out of!" The area then glitched again and he found himself back in the Darkling Hive, but the banners were repaired, the acid on the walls was lighter, and King Dorakaru, the King of the Darklings himself was in the center, sitting on his throne.
"Dorakaru!" He yelled, getting out his saber. The monarch only laughed at him, unintimidated by his stance.
"Ah, Ragammia. Fighting whoever crosses your path as an enemy." He said.
"You're no different from the enemies I've faced." Said Ragammia.
"No? I am just as one-sided as any other enemy you face?" Dorakaru said back.
"I fight for the good of those I trust, and you work against that. I know what I'm doing is right." Ragammia responded.
"And who's to say you are? Who's to say that you haven't done the same things as one that commits genocide?" Said Dorakaru. Ragammia had no answer.
"Who are you?" He Said after a couple seconds.
"Oh, don't be so hasty as a maverick would be!" Said King Dorakaru before the entire area glitched back to the decayed Darkling Hive in the fused cluster of junk.
"Again? What's going on here?" Said Ragammia, heading through the tunnel before entering a corridor with spikes on the left wall and jagged metal sticking out from the floor. After air-dashing and then jumping off the right wall, Ragammia was able to get past the hazards before encountering a sideways door held open only by more jagged metal covering part of the floor. Like the last one, Ragammia didn't bother to try and force it open and instead simply cut it apart with his saber. He then leapt down to the floor and found himself in a room with a bunch of old, broken computers attached to the side of the wall or broken off and lying on the ground. In the middle of them was an equally damaged computer larger than the rest.
"This place...this is where I fought Virenne the second time." He said. But before he could leave the memories of that war behind, the entire area glitched again and he found himself in Virenne's fortress...with Virenne herself on the throne at the end of it.
"Virenne!" Ragammia said as he drew his saber.
"You've come, Ragammia." She said.
"Sometimes I wonder how a hero fighting against sentient beings can have so much pain."
"I went over this with that illusion of Dorakaru. The so-called 'sentient beings' I'm inflicting pain to are ones that can only be stopped by force." Ragammia responded.
"But you're still inflicting pain. I thought you worked towards peace? How can live in a world without war and suffering if you're constantly bringing it upon others?" Said Virenne.
"You've done worse. Don't point your fingers at me!" Said Ragammia.
"That doesn't make you any better. All of your fighting is digging you into a deeper hole. And when the dust settles, what will be left of all of this?" Virenne responded.
"You're not real. I don't have to listen to you." Was all Ragammia could say. And that alone made Virenne smile.
"You." The entire area then glitched again and Ragammia was back in the empty room of the Junk fusion.
"Ragammia! Come in! Can you hear me?! Ragammia! Please respond..." He heard on the comm system.
"I can hear you, Dimitri." He said.
"For some reason, some of the areas I entered temporarily sent me to a completely different place and I lost contact with you."
"Different place? You mean like what happened with Apep?" She asked.
"Yeah, magnaquartz has to be doing this." He responded.
Ragammia, I wanted to inform you that the energy signature in the area is getting stronger! Since the signature matches matches that of magnaquartz, the power must be building up before it's able to affect the entire world! You have to find it and stop it soon!"
"I will. And I'm glad I have someone like you to remind me that I'm not alone." He said to her.
"Thanks! We'll try our best to support you from the Base!" She said back. Ragammia then dashed down the corridor until he came to the next room, which he had visited moments ago. The only thing different about it was that the ceiling was covered by a bunch of scrap and that a number of cables had come out of the wall and were coiling around Virenne's throne at the end, which was less damaged than Ragammia expected it to be.
"What?" Ragammia then went to get a closer look at the strange scene, but there wasn't anything that seemed out of place or suspicious. He then peered down a chasm below the platform that he hadn't had a chance to explore last time and leapt down. When he landed, he then found a boss door that he easily broke open before finding a room filled with glitchy holograms with details and blueprints of the portal that lead to Equestria and on him. But what was terrifying to Ragammia was that the hologram he was looking at was that of him after his most recent upgrades after the second Darkling War.
"I know this is because of magnaquartz, but..." While trying to find words for what he would say, Ragammia then spotted a hole that appeared to have been dug into the floor.
"Dimitri, is the energy signature below me?"
"It's directly below you. That should be where the magnaquartz is." Said Dimitri.
"So be It..." Said Ragammia.
"...I'm going in." He then leapt down the hole until he landed in a large room with a black, cubic floor and only a couple of red lights on the walls. In the center was the massive cluster of magnaquartz that Creis had been using.
"I found the cluster. What do I do?" Said Ragammia.
"You won't be able to dislodge it if it's energy level is so high. You'll need to find at least one of the areas where the energy is being contained and drive it out." Said Dimitri.
"Just give me a moment..." Ragammia was then left with the ominous thrumming from the magnaquartz until he heard what sounded like someone dashing and readied his buster.
"Who's there?" He said, glancing around the room. No answer or other sound came to him other than the noise the magnaquartz was making.
"Okay, the areas where the energy is being contained are..." But the area suddenly glitched before Dimitri could finish and Ragammia was standing in Princess Celestia's castle. And on the other end of the room was Corona himself, slowly clapping his hands where the thrones of the Princesses used to be.
"Bring back memories, Ragammia?" He said, before the entire area glitched again and the two of them were back in the dark room.
"Do you think this all is some joke, Corona?! Or are you actually planning something?!" Ragammia yelled.
"You were using Creis this whole time, weren't you?! And Nibiru was just your pawn!"
"I take it you finally defeated her, then. She only wanted what was best for the world, but she just ignored what it truly was. She was blocking out all the pain, so she broke when it came to her! As for Creis, were you honestly stupid enough to believe that I would be stupid enough to work for someone like him? That man was so upset with the results he was getting that he became desperate for people to tell him he was right! That's why he was so easy to control. His will was practically done for anyway!" Ragammia then glared at Corona with more hate than he had shown anyone else.
"So you used Creis to do things like resurrect the Darklings and revive Nibiru?! What do you even plan on doing with all the magnaquartz and energy that you stole from people like Grogar, Nibiru, and Gemini?!" He shouted.
"Soul energy is more powerful than any energy source in our life that we've used. All of it combined with all this magnaquartz gives me the power to do whatever I want to the world!" He declared.
"Why else would Creis kill millions of people?"
"And just what do you plan to do to the world, Corona?!" Ragammia yelled. Corona chuckled before turning back towards him.
"We've both been through so much fighting, Ragammia. History shows that this world has had repeated conflicts over and over again...so the only way that we can possibly end these conflicts is by destroying it." He said, giving him an evil grin.
"WHAT?!" Ragammia yelled, charging towards Corona and slashing at him with his saber, only for Corona to pull out his at the last second and block him.
"WHAT MAKES IT WORTH DESTROYING THE WORLD?!"
"An Enertron like you would never understand!" Corona yelled, jumping backwards before blasting Ragammia in the chest with his exploding shot.
"Time and time again we are forced to fight! Fighting for the humans, and fighting against other Enertrons! The world we fight for is nothing more than a lost cause! Utopia? It's only fake, just like you! You think you and your friends are fighting for peace, but you're only continuing the endless cycle of pain this world suffers through!"
"So you were the one conjuring up those illusions when I was getting here!" Ragammia shouted, blasting a charge shot at Corona, only for him to jump away from it.
"Who else do you think did it?" He said.
"It was nice talking to you for one last time, though. But I think we should get on with the destruction of this world!" Corona then leapt towards the cluster of magnaquartz and placed his hand on it a bunch of energy in the form of lightning began to cover his entire body until the entire area flashed. When Ragammia's sight return to him, Corona's saber had become similar to that of Ragammia's except it had red lines flowing through it while his eyes had become red and his body had become yellow and orange.
"I've always wanted to kill you Ragammia, but I really did try to get you to see what I've believed in!"
"I would never have joined you, Corona! I'm going to put and end to this right now!" Ragammia yelled.
"At least I'll get to kill you now. Nothing like some satisfaction before the world ends!" Corona responded.
"Die, Ragammia!"
