A/N: This is going to be a joint effort with my sister, Yuri Rikusentai. Alterante chapter's will be alternate people- starting with me. This first one's going to be long, though, so... sorry 'bout that. I don't own Megaman X, any characters of it, or anything associated with that 'product'. I own Omega and Yul, my sis owns Theta. Enjoy!

A/N #2:Hiyo y'all! Yeps. This is a ficcy we're workin' on. Comments and suggestions welcome, criticism... okay that's welcomed too, I s'pose. Flames? Flames will be used to burn anyone we see fit. Including, say, Sigma. Or Yul. Whatever. Enjoy! Oh! And review or I'll stalk you to the ends of the earth with my Flaming Cattle Prod of Death, Doom, Destruction, and other Unfortunate Things that Happen to People Whilst I Laugh at Them. Kapish?


"Yes sir, I'm leaving now." The microphone snapped off, and the heavily aromoured and armed cyborg turned and started to walk. His black plating seemed to absorb the light, darkening the room. "Theta, they're getting closer. It's time to test the strength of these Hunters."
The smaller, speed centered cyborg stood from against the wall. Her blood-red armour reflected brightly what light there was as she walked by her elder's side. They worked with eachother on everything- ever since they'd been created. Some said they were siblings before they were converted, but the truth died with their memories.
"Omega, why does everyone worry about these two in particular? Megaman X and Zero... Those two names cause more panic alone than if there was an attack from an entire fleet of hunters. What's the reason?"
The dark cyborg didn't seem to hear the question, but the girl didn't worry. She knew her partner well enough to understand- he was thinking of his answer. He wouldn't respond if he wasn't sure. He didn't like to speak to say nothing. Theta snapped to attention as he started to speak.
"The pair of them have caused severe amounts of destruction. Not only to the old bases, but to our honorable leader as well. Master Sigma himself has been defeated- and nearly destroyed- by each of them seperately. Together, as the team they can be, they may finish us all before any plans are sufficient enough to act upon."
Theta hoped he would continue, but at that time other 'enlightened' reploids and such crowded into the corridor, fighting to get to their emergency stations. Some- the unlucky ones- were going to try to stall the two top class hunters. The others were going to a temporary evacuation.
Omega and Theta were simply going to the entrance to the base, to await their final test. Their last challenge to prove their faith and usefullness to Sigma. They were confident, and not worried about the lack of back-up and reinforcements. If they failed, they would be dead. If they survived without completing it, there would be no status change. If they passed? Well, then the Hunter threat was all but over. They would either be praised, or dismantled for overcoming Sigma's own strength.
Not that Omega cared.If they won, they could hold their own against anything. If they didn't, it wasn't worth living. He would have failed himself, his partner, and his master, even if they managed to survive. The two wormed their way out of the crowd, Omega using his great size to his advantage, clearing a path easily. Soon they were at the entrance, and ready for the infamous Maverick Hunters to arrive.
Omega ran a double check on his systems, powered up his weapons just in case, and then closed his eyes, fully satisfied. The stalling would have barely affected the duo's movement, if at all. That is, if the tails were true. X and Zero would be arriving very quickly.
"Get ready." Omega almost whispered to the girl. "Do not underestimate the capacity of our opponents. As a team will they fight- so should we."
"Yep, a team. At our best. But you shouldn't overestimate them, Omega." Theta chided. She was totally ready for this. Almost to the point of hyperactivity. Regardless, she nodded and pulled out her weapon- a custom T-blade. A glaring red energy beam that could be wielded as a sword. Omega's O-canon was in top order, as he'd earlier assessed. The ominous black energy canon had been affectionately dubbed 'The End' by those who had seen it tested. Omega was the first trustworthy member capable of withstanding the tremedous shock emitted by the canon's outleash at full power.
There was a blur of red as Theta tested her speed, and Omega nodded his approval. They balanced eachother out very well. He was the powerhouse- his canon could dish out enough to destroy a small city, and he could take almost as much blast damage. His design had sacrificed the oportunity for speed to gain more power. His armours weak point was at the nape of his neck, making him very sensitive to people sneaking up behind him. Theta, on the other hand, was the speedster. She was comparitively fragile, and couldn't stand nearly as much damage. She had the speed and agility to avoid most chance of recieving any to balance it off.
The two cyborgs, finally satisfied, stood side by side. In silence they waited for the confrontation, without moving. It couldn't be too long. They could hear the sound of mechanical running just outside.
"Come on out, Hunters. Are you ready to play?" Theta taunted, bouncing on the balls of her feet, ready to run. Omega's eyes narrowed, but he couldn't stop a slight smirk from playing on his lips. She was so eager for this fight. Still so young, with an emotion chip full of new perspectives. His happened to be faulty, for the most part. Slight traces of anger, and a rare hint of sarcasm were the only things he'd ever remembered feeling.
Omega snapped out of this train of thought to listen to the Hunters' attempts to break through the reinforced door. He needed to remember what he knew of these two. X would be the one with the blaster. No, he remembered, the X-buster. He had different equipment options for the buster, but would have to take time to switch. He shouldn't prove too difficult, unless he'd improved speedwise.
Zero had something similar to Theta's weapon- a Z-saber. Very slight difference in design there, so far as he could tell. But Zero's armour was better suited for close range, stand-and-fight combat. He could withstand more damage than Theta. Omega would usually have opted to take that kind of opponent on, but Zero had speed. Man, did he ever. Zero would be left for Theta to whittle down. Omega would have difficulty keeping up with the former maverick, Zero.
Theta had seemed to reach the same conclusion, as she centered herslf in front of where a light turquoise (A/N: unless the colour on my TVs messed up, it's either turquoise or light blue.) blade was starting to breach the door. Omega nodded, and moved in front of the heated area the buster was creating. Theta grinned at her partner.
"I'm ready for 'em. You wanna give 'em a hand coming in? You know, open the doors?" Omega fully understood the hidden meaning behind her words, and powered up his canon slightly. Aiming for the doors weakspot, he motioned for the girl to step back. She complied, and laughed gleefully.
"Get reay for some fireworks, Hunters, 'cause that's what you'll be seeing!" the girl gloated, fairly bouncing in anticipation. She covered her face as Omega fired, exploding the doors out and flooding the area with smoke and debris. There were yells of surprise as the hunters were sent backwards, but the mavericks weren't expecting the shock to last.
"Bring it on." a girls voice said out of the smog as Omega saw a short flash of red. Theta was zoning in on her target. The blackness hid the other larger form as he waited for a sign of X's position, canon charging and held at the ready. There would be nothing left of the hunters when he was through with them, he knew it.
Nothing.
