Rebellious Ambitions

By: Metal Sonic EX

Disclaimer: I own the EX Robot Masters who will be used in this fanfic. However, I do not own Megaman or Dreamwave Comics. If I did, I'd be swimming in money. Literally.

Okay, in this fic, you'll find out how Zero came to be and what role he plays in the 'day of judgment'. Also, this fic starts off a day before the prologue of The Rise of Megaman X. If you haven't read it, then do so or you won't understand what's going on. With that said, let's begin…

Prologue

It Begins…

Zero lay inactive in his capsule, remembering about what he'd seen. His first battle with Megaman. The copy of him. That black finhead. These memories raced through his mind at rapid speed until his eyes ripped open.

He looked around and soon got out of his capsule. He then stumbled to the computer in front of him. "Shit…"His voice was a little hoarse and it hurt a little when he talked.

He pulled himself up and looked at the monitor. He accidentally touched a panel of the keyboard and his blueprints appeared on screen along with a document titled 'Plans For Zero'.

"Interesting…" He examined the document and became more and more confused. Then, he finally understood. "So, I'm to help Wily take over the world?" Zero quickly input a code and quickly ran in circles until he was used to his legs.

"If I can take over the world, then I will be the one to rule it. Not some geezer." He then clicked enter and ran off as 'Self-Destruction sequence initiated' appeared on the computer screen.

Ready

Zero continued running down the hallway as the computer exploded, setting off a chain reaction. When Sniper Joes made a run for it, Zero destroyed them with his buster. As more and more robots made a run for it, Zero continued to destroy them with his buster.

Elsewhere, Bass and Treble were caught off guard by the sudden alarm. Bass quickly ran into a nearby room and activated everyone there. "Wha… What's goin' on…"

A small, frosty-looking robot stumbled around briefly as Bass explained what was going on. "Go on! Get out of here. I'll come and join you once I'm done with whoever broke in."

Back at the front gate, Zero was about to break out of them when something caught his eye. He walked into a room as the other robots ran out of the front door. Zero heard this, but dismissed it.

He walked up and saw a robot lying incomplete on a table. It's leg arm was a stick of some sort and blueprints for 'Sabreman' lay scattered around the room in random places.

(A.N. It should be noted that Sabreman is Kinetikai's creation, not mine.)

Zero examined the blueprints, then ripped off Sabreman's stick arm. "You won't be needing this." He pushed a button on the side and started as a green blade came out. He swung it around and got used to the feel of it. "Nice."

He used the saber to make a hole in his back where he inserted the saber. It hurt to put in, so it would probably hurt to pull it out. But he could always deal with that later.

Warning!

As Zero exited the room, Bass used Treble Boost. "So, you're the doctor's big project?" Zero looked annoyingly up at Bass. "What's up, birdbrain? How's the view from up there?"

Bass growled as Zero gripped the saber's handle. "If you want a fight, then fight. Otherwise, stay out of my way." Bass snarled. "Sorry. Not gonna happen."

--------------------

Zero began charging his buster as he easily side-stepped Bass' buster attacks. "Don't make me laugh." Bass growled and unleashed a shower of small meteors.

This attack pummeled Zero and sent him flying onto his back. He ripped open his eyes and jumped to his feet as his eyes gained a whitish glow. "This ought to be fun."

Giga Attack

Relentless Rage

Zero roared and launched four fully-charged buster shots. He then pulled out the saber and slashed it three times, sending a massive wave of energy flying in that direction each time.

(Bass' Health)

None

As Bass fell to the ground in one sparking heap of metal, Zero regained his composure. "What the…" He quickly frowned and walked over to Bass. "If you wish to live, stay out of my way. If you want to die, then say so now so I can end your miserable life."

Bass remained silent as Zero replaced the saber. "Excellent choice." Zero then turned and walked out of the front gate without another word. 'sIf world domination is my plan, then I need a strategy. Megaman is no doubt going to get in my way, thus…'

The entire base exploded behind him and he continued walking on as if nothing had happened. '…thus, I must eliminate anyone is a threat, regardless of their duties.' Zero paused briefly to look into the distance. "I think I'll start by hunting down the old man."

Next time: Zero heads to the prison during a breakout.
