-1Maverick Hunter Vile

By Jason Reger

A/N: Since Maverick Hunter X was too unsuccessful, which means that no sequels will be possible, I had to think of how Vile's adventures would continue myself, since the depressing ending. Even though Sigma always gets killed in the end, and Zero practically dies every other game, they keep coming back to life, so why not Vile? This takes place about the same time MMX2 does. It's mostly going to be in Vile's POV.

Chapter 1

The last thing I remember was Sigma calling someone to "retrieve me" after that little blue bastard sucker-punched me. And RIGHT before I finished him for good...if it wasn't for Zero, I'd have gone on to take on Sigma. Then I'd be the one in charge. But now I'm in some infirmary. Strange, this doesn't look like the Hunter Base.

"Good, good, glad to see you're up and running again."

I looked up to see a short reploid with a big white walrus moustache at a console detailing my schematics. "S-s-so you p-p-put me back together, d-d-d-did you?" Apparently, my speech circuitry wasn't functioning properly yet. "Oh yes, yes, I found what was left of you inside the ruins of the late Sigma. I'm guessing that-"

"What?! You m-m-mean that X b-b-b-beat me to Sigma?! D-d-d-dammit!! That sh-should've been me! I-I-I'm the one who'll ch-ch-change the world, n-n-not that little blue pansy!!" Son of a bitch! "Er, yes." The little guy wasn't perturbed at all. "As I was saying, from the looks of it, I'd hazard a guess that it was X himself who blew that big hole in you. Am I correct?" I glowered and refused to answer. "But more importantly, wouldn't you like...revenge?"

Now THAT got my attention. I laughed out loud and replied "That's g-g-gotta be the dumbest qu-question I've ever heard!" "Great, then!" said Mr. Moustache. "I'm part of the group called the X-Hunters. We're dedicated to bringing Master Sigma back and eradicating X once and for all! Hold still for a second..."

ZZZZTCH! "Yeow!" I shouted after he did god-knows-what. "What the hell did you do that for?! ...Wait...Oh, you fixed my voice. Thanks, I guess."

"ahem Of course. I never leave a job unfinished. My question is, would you like to join us?" I guess this guy doesn't know much about me. "Listen, pops, I work alone. I don't work for you, Sigma, or anybody except myself."

"Aha. And we've seen how well THAT tactic has worked in the end." Someone else came in, a tall, purple reploid with a stupid smug grin on his face. "Really, Agile, that's no way to recruit someone we badly need." I can already see that I'm going to have problems with this Agile jerk. "Heh heh heh...I sorely doubt that we even need him anymore, Serges. Not after what I got..." Then he showed what he was hiding behind his back, and it turned out to be the second face that I've wanted dead. "Great, you offed Zero. So what? I could take on that stupid homo by myself."

"Ah, how wrong you are, my trigger-happy friend. We've gathered up Zero's parts, and some reconstruction here, some brainwashing there, and presto! Instant X-Hunter warrior!"

"Well, did you happen to secure Zero's control chip?" Serges looked like he had his doubts, and I don't blame him. There's no way this pompous douchebag could've covered all bases.

"...Er...Well, we don't really need it, right?! We can just make our own!" I knew it. This dope could never handle things on his own.

Serges sighed and said "Yes, it's possible to make a new one. But things like that take time. In the meantime, why don't you use those parts as bait to draw X out. If we're lucky, we can crush him now and be done with it."

I stood up at this. "No way. I'm the one who's going to take him out. Me! Vile! Nobody else!"

Agile made that stupid smirk and said "Oh? Would you care to wager on that?" Then some stumpy reploid that looked like a gorilla came up behind him and said "Hey…..Do we even need this purple guy? I mean, if X was able to beat him once, then how could Boba Fett here hope to beat him?"

I was tempted to blow this little punk away, but considering that my weapons weren't anywhere to be seen, I had to refrain from the temptation. "X did NOT beat me! I would have killed him once and for all if Zero hadn't gotten in the way! There's NO way I'm going to work with ZERO. I'll kill him myself first!"

Serges shrugged and said "Well, alright, if you don't want to join us, we won't force you. Your weapons are by the exit from the base. If you ever change y-"

"Ok, thanks for the repairs, or whatever. See ya." I ran out the door before Serges could finish, intent on the total destruction of X. And if those three morons got in my way of my revenge, then they're scrap, like everyone else who gets on my bad side.

A/N: Oh yeah, the disclaimer. I almost forgot. I don't own X, Vile, Zero, or the supporting cast, but if I did, the whole friggin series wouldn't have gone straight to hell. The aforementioned characters are copyright of Capcom. In retrospect, they seem more like CRAPcom now.
