~Back at the base~

Ciel:I assume the mission was a success?
Zero:Yep.
Kathy:How's Axl doing?
X:He's fine. He should wake up in a few minutes.
Me:That's a relief.
Denise:So what's the info on Sigma?
Ciel:One of our spies found his location. A fortress near the location of the Ragnarok ruins.
Zero:Alright then, we'll head there tomorrow.
Me:Tomorrow!?Hell no, I wanna beat that guy now!
Zero:I know.Me too. But, we need some energy and besides,I wanna train. To help me better prepare.
Me:Fine.

Although I didn't like the idea of going tomorrow, Zero was right. We need to rest up. And Zero does have a point in training. It's always a good idea to play it safe. Who knows if Sigma got stronger.

~Later That Day~

I went to X's room to ask him something.A favor to be more precise.

Me:Hey X. Can I...ask you something?
X:What's up?
Me:Do you happen to know a reploid named Scarlett?
X:Scarlett?Hmmm Scarlett.....heh, now there's a name I haven't heard in years. Yea,I know her. She used to work with Red Alert, the same group Axl worked with until she decided to join us. She's also Zero's little sister.
Me:Zero never told me he had a little sister.
X:Well the guys been dormant for a very long time, so of course he forgot his memories. He probably forgot about that little memory. Why did you wanna know if I knew Scarlett?
Me:I told Axl I would help him find her. One day, the two got separated,but when you told him you felt something bad happening, he had to stop searching for her. I was wondering if you could help me out in finding her location.
X:Well,there is a location where cyber-elves that were once reploids gather. After we deal with Sigma, we'll go there to find Scarlett. She's bound to be there.
Me:Alright,thanks X.
X:No problem.

~Zero and Kathy's room; Night~

Kathy:So,tomorrows the day.
Me:Yea.
Kathy:So what's your plan?
Me:.......I'm going to use my demonic form.
Kathy:What if you lose control again?It's been months since you used that form.

At the time, someone was knocking on our door.

Me:Come in.

Denise stepped in our room.

Me:Something wrong?
Denise:No,I just wanted to check on you two and talk about tomorrow.
Kathy:Cristian says he's gonna use his demon form.
Denise:Are you out of your mind? What if you lose control again?
Me:Listen.To you two, it seems like a risky plan. But I've managed to control both my dark and demon forms. As a result, I can transform into them at my own will. Besides, I learned new abilities.
Denise:That is true.Those moves you did yesterday to finish off the maverick was new. You never had them when you transformed into your dark self.
Me:Precisely.
Kathy:Well,just promise that you won't go insane.
Me:I'll try.
Model L:Hey don't forget, you guys have us.
Model X:That's right.We'll help you all the way.
Model Z:We'll help you defeat Sigma.
Me:Yea.We all have to do our best tomorrow. For the future of this world. It's up to all of us to stop Sigma.
Denise and Kathy:Yea.
Me:Let's get some rest.

With that, we went to sleep. Tomorrow,the big day would come. The final battle. The six of us against Sigma.It's now or never.
