Abilities:
--Defense System--
Io is equipped with a state-of-the-art defense system. His priamary system uses an impenetrable energy sphere. He also contains quantam crystal armor made from the rare metal known as "Elementium." His armor draws energy in from physical attacks, as well as energy attacks. Based on Mega Man X's previous armor systems, IO can convert the energy from damage into two different systems. The first is the "Auto Repair System."
This means that the very attacks which are designed to destroy him can in effect actually make him stronger. The second is the "Crystal Shield System." The energy is converted into a shield of crystal plates which materiallize around his body. The end result is a crystal cocoon which surrounds, and protects him. The crystal cocoon can witstand alot of damage, but will eventually shatter, and explode. When this happens, it acts as a weapon, sending shards of razor sharp crystal in every direction. IO can trigger this explosion at any time the crystal shield is active.

--Attack System--
IO is also equipped with a powerful attack system. His arms contain gauntlets which hold powerful energy spheres. He can create these in the palms of his hands, and throw them.
If he holds his hands together, he can create a sphere with double the size and power.
IO also uses a hand weapon. His "Steel Saber" is a highly effective close range weapon.
It is a long, solid black blade made from the same material as his armor. It is a meter long, and is studded with a row of flat spikes on the edge. (Sort of like a comb.)
IO is an excellent melee fighter, and has a variety of sword techniques, and combination attacks, as follows...

Techniques:
IO's sword techniques fall on different levels. The levels increase as his energy output increases. His power level, and the damage inflicted with each attack increase with two scenarios. The first is the "Crisis Scenario." Since IO can not be damaged in his defense mode, he was built with a precaution. If, when in attack mode, he has taken too much damage, his power level reaches a hidden maximum. He is able to perform his "Crisis Attack," the "IO Storm." This ultimate attack sends waves of torrid energy in a wide radius, discintegrating everything, including the ground beneath his feet. The other scenario is the "Hyper Scenario." In this scenario, IO's power level increases because his attacks continue to take effect. He builds upon his own momentum, charging more of his power, and focusing his attacks. In a short while he is able to reach his maximum, and perform his most devestating techniques.

Levels:
Level 1 attacks include:
-Wolf's Blade: This is a melee attack, which involves a series of 45 degree angle swipes of the steel saber.
-Tiger Tactic: This move gives the opponets the impression that IO is defending with his sword. It is usually used as a counter move, where he deflects a physical attack, and then lunges forward with a downward swipe.
-Sphere Blast: A basic move, where IO charges energy from his gauntlets. He throws an energy sphere from his hand.

Level 2 attacks include:
-Raptor Blade: IO leans his full weight into this attack. This is also a melee attack which involves a horizontal, and vertical swipe.
-Plasma Cutter: While holding the steel sword, IO charges energy into the blade, thus creating a burning sword attack.
-Machine Blast: IO holds his hands together to create a stronger energy shot. When the energy sphere hits, it seperates, and burns through the air around the target.

Level 3 attacks include:
-IO Blade: IO charges his body with energy. Sliding forward with a short range, optical illusion trailing him, he attacks with a combination sword attack. Each swipe increases the amount of damage done, with the final swipe being a "plasma cutter."
-Ground Tactic: Io focuses energy into his blade, and swipes the blade in a golf swing. Energy travels along the ground in a wave, which leaves the ground burned, and scarred in it's wake.
-IO Blast: IO charges, and throws a volley of double sized energy spheres. For use as an arial attack, IO can throw a blast into the ground below him, to give him a boost, then rain energy spheres down on his opponent.

Level Four attacks inlude:
-IO Maximum: Rather than actual energy spheres, IO throws a solid beam of light, which holds for several moments, before disappearing.
-IO Rush: In this attack, IO focuses the energy from his gauntlets into the drive system in his legs, and body. He then leaps forward, and flies for a short distance, while engulfed in a plasma flame. This attack is similar to Mega Man X's body crash attack.
-IO Storm: This is the crisis attack. IO reaches his highest level of attack power with this all inclusive energy sphere. He generates a field around his body which discintegrates evergything. However, this attack drains a great deal of his power, and can weaken him even further.
