Twisted Promises
A Rockman X story by Kero Trigger
Authors note: I wrote this quite a while ago and posted it on the Mechadrake message board (Mountain Dew or Crab Juice) , letting other members finish it up. I seem to have a habit of writing things with no endings, it lets people use their imaginations. So for you who happen to read this, why not use your imagination? Maybe I should make an ending to this..

The 'bases' that the Mavericks had were never well lit so anyone who came in there accidentally or was going to kill the mavericks would hopefully fall to their doom. But when there was a storm like there was today, it was almost pitch black. The few windows that were along the hallway let small amounts of moonlight spill out onto some patches of the floor.
X quickly ran past those spots of light and back into the shadow, hoping that no one would see him. He had infiltrated the base and gotten quite far already without being seen and he hoped to keep it that way. Little by little he made his way down the seemingly endless hallway, being rather quiet for what he was.
A sudden scratching noise caused X to turn his head sharply and aim his buster at where he heard the noise coming from. A rat suddenly scurried out from the hallway and ran directly between X's feet, disappearing into a small hole behind him. X clamped a hand over his mouth, stopping the scream from coming out. He mentally smacked himself before continuing down the hallway.
The base was deathly silent, X notice, he could only hear his own footsteps and 'breathing' as he continued to walk further into the base. He slowly began to hear what sounded like footsteps getting closer to him, and he stopped, thinking they were his own. After hearing there was nothing there, X sighed slightly. I'm just being paranoid..
There was a sudden flash of lighting and a loud clap of thunder outside, and with it came searing pain. X screamed, then slowly looked down to his midsection. Instead of seeing his light blue armor, he found the glowing blade of a sabre staring up at him. He choked suddenly, his own blood starting to come out of his mouth as well as the sabre wound.
"Heh... Don't you like it, X..?"
X spit out some blood before responding. "Z..Zero?!"
"Yes that's right X... Are you ready to die?" If X had turned to see his friend, he would have noticed the feral, catlike grin on his face.
"Y...you're a M..Maverick!"
"Yes... It's so wonderful X..." Zero grabbed a hold of X's shoulder, cracks forming in the armor from the pressure he applied to it.
X yelped in pain. "W..why?!"
"You told me to take care of you, X..... If you became a Maverick..."
X was finding it hard to speak, the blood clogging up his throat. "Zero... y..you're the ma.. maverick!"
"To you, yes." The sabre was pulled roughly out of X, who screamed. Zero then spun him around and glared, grinning at the fear and pain that was apparent on X's face. "But to me, you're the Maverick and I have to keep my promise...!"
Zero then flung X to the ground, raising his sabre high over his head. X screamed out as he watched it come down....
