An Eternity of Pain

Chapter 4
rock's battered body again stumbled to it's feet, and opened his eyes. his saw a dark brown sky, poisoned by toxic fumes and stained with death. the field he was crucified in was burned beyond recognition, but upon further notice, he saw that most of the world had the same fate. in the distance, he saw the city. burning, and warring. he tried to move, but found it difficult to with his damaged systems. it took him several days to cover the distance it took the children to cover in minutes. when his reached there, the were massive machines, storming the streets with fire and lead. a confused rock stared at the devastation. a man wrapped his arm around him, and dragged his body into one of the many underground camps. when he saw that he got a reploid and not a human, he was very quick to decide to destroy it. a woman stopped him, she recognized him. "X?" He said doubtfully, "How can it be? sigma destroyed him nearly ten years ago!" upon further examination, they realized they could help him. they repaired enough of his systems so that he could fix the rest. he had lost his suit, stripped of his fighting powers by sigma, but he still had zero's saber. he managed an ak-47 from the pieces in the shop. with this, he began his revenge. storming the streets, killing reploids left and right. he gained enough of their pieces to understand their new design. he pointed out to the survivors the main chip that powered them... and the easiest way to destroy it. he was able to complete several new weapons for himself, once and forever a machine of war. when sigma realized who it was, he immediately sent out his death squads. one by one, they all succumbed to rock's rage. in each of their death's he gained power. rock selectively destroyed pieces of sigma's fortress before entering it. after several solid days of pure fighting inside, he was facing down the original war machine that sigma infected. consumed with hate, rock dropped it quite violently and with little difficulty. then, he approached the terminal. in this computer was the original sigma virus, from so many deaths ago. unbeknownst to the virus, rock had planted several subnuclear explosives inside the compound. the virus at first, of course, threatened x.
"it's over, wily." rock said in a cold tone.
"it can't be?! rock! i thought..."
"nothing you can do can destroy me. i-i'm sick of this, wily. again, you have gone too far."
The virus remained quiet, but planned it's next methods of attack.
then, rock removed his new suit and said, "We both know you are a different virus. the clone of yourself is unable to further infect any other machines. your own safely mechanism. but, you are the original, if i destroy you, then the humans will eventually win."
the machine made some weak noise, then responded, "goddamn you... if you would've just given in in the first fucking place i would've never had to kill so many!"
rock became violent, "there's a solution... why fight for freedom when we could live under the rule of a sick little man... you know what wily? i'm too tired. i wont' destroy that machine. you can live. for as long as you very fucking well want too. you've killed my father, my sisters, my brother, my friends, and so many millions of others. i'm too weak now to kill you." rock fell to his knees and opened his breast plate. the virus began to immediately take control of rock's body, "let it end..." were rock's final words before he pressed the button, and blew five miles of land straight to hell. thus finally destroying wily, and himself in the process.
