Power of SERAPH (Anomaly Version)

As Rock reached the end of the now dust-covered corridors of the Underground Laboratory, he entered what appeared to be a large stage.  Before him stood the same sentient neon wire-frame from when he first entered the Atomic Furnace, StupidStudiosN...

"Oh dear...  You've cause quite a lot of problems since you've got here, haven't you?  Ah, very well then...  You see, while you were making your way through the puzzles Mikey was able to reactivate, I evacuated those who were remaining.  Unfortunately, it appears my efforts are but only small victory, as a majority of the Prototype's citizens have been slaughtered by your hands.  Heck, not even the likes of MegaBoy or ZeroDXZ were able to stop you.  Now, with that said...  Even though you have demonstrated to be more than capable of toppling over foes beyond your strength, somehow,  I'm confident enough to say that you don't stand a chance against the likes of me." N exposited.  This bold claim brought a disturbing grin to Rock's face, however StupidStudiosN wasn't frightened by this at all.

"You see, while you were roaming about the Atomic Furnace, taking out any civilians who unfortunately didn't heed the evacuation notice, I was busy making a few upgrades to my combat form, for as you see, a true fan would tell you that before I became the celebrity I am, my body was designed to be used in human-eradication.  Even though my body was redesigned, those features were never dummied out, and here I stand before you, ready to avenge those were lost.  Before you decide to make the choice to fight me, might I suggest, oh, I dunno...  A RESET?  Heh.  Don't do anything you'll regret..." StupidStudiosN said, a grin plastered on his face, and arms crossed.  The revelation that N knew about his ability to RESET made Rock uneasy, however this didn't deter him from what he was about to do.

Rock dashed at SSN, who stood still, looked at him with the same expression, and quickly electrified his body, electrocuting Rock as he made contact, both leaving a charred color on his skin, but also knocked him backwards.  "Heh.  Aren't we clever?  Well, I digress.  You asked for it, so here we go." N said, and with that, a flash of white light illuminated the room, sounds of electricity could be heard, and when the light returned to normal, N had transformed into an elegant armor.  He was now carrying a sword and shield with the same neon-blue glow as himself, and he had angelic wings also bearing his trademark color.

*The Prototype's last hope

"His attack stat is impressive, however he shouldn't last long with defenses as low as that." Rock thought to himself.  With this in mind, Rock lunged forward, and swung his javelin at SSN, who swiftly teleported away from his attacks.  "Huh.  Kinda wonder why no one else seemed to think dodging would work.  That would have, at the very least, bought them time.  Ah well."  N monologued before holding his sword sideways on both ends, causing runes of light to appear below his feet.  "Hm...  I don't like the looks of that, Rock.  I'd be careful if I were you..." Rhythm warned.  "Sacred powers, cast your purifying light upon these corrupt souls. Rest in peace, sinners!" N said aloud, before looking up at Rock and pointing his sword at him.  "JUDGEMENT!" N yelled as beams of light flooded the stage, striking Rock, harming him greatly.  "Huh.  Wasn't expecting that, were you?" N laughed, as Rock was now heavily damaged.

Realizing that the only way to take out StupidStudiosN would be to out-speed him, Rock pulled out the Starforce Tea he stole from TailsMK4 earlier, and he ingested them, making him move much faster.  As the battle continued, StupidStudiosN threw no punches, as he had pulled off every trick in the book to insure the death of Rock.  However, his attempts were seemingly in vain, as Rock was outrunning his attacks.  Luckily for him, he was still able to avoid every attack Rock tossed his way, thanks to teleportation magic.  Unfortunately, while his spirits were high, he neglected to realize that the battle was drawing to a close for him...

"Oh, just give up already, kid.  You won't be able to hit me, so long as I can warp around at any given time." N said, mocking Rock.  However, N had forgot to take into account that his magic was being drained with every special attack he cast.  As Rock once more rushed at N, N was preparing to cast his teleportation skill once more, however as Rock got closer, he came to the realization that he was out of magic.  Before he could take action to counteract the attack, N was stabbed through his core.  "I...  Cannot die now...  Until I fulfill my...  Duty..." N said, collapsing to the floor, where he looked once more into Rock's menacing gaze.  "*Sigh*  I guess...  This has been StupidStudiosN...  Signing out for the last time...  ...  ...  Ciao." N said, before vanishing into dust.

The exits of the stage had now been open, and Rock had exited the Underground Laboratory.  Little did he know that his struggles did not end with StupidStudiosN...
