First and foremost, thanx for taking the time to check out my Mega Man/Capcom story. I do not own any of the Capcom characters mentioned (as much as I wish I did), or any characters from the Peach Girl series, but Kentorai, my version of Sonson, and other characters, are owned by me and is copyrighted. Thanks for reading!
Mega Man X: Sigma's Attack
As Kentorai walked through the hallways of Katsuyo High School, he wondered what happened to the rest of the Capcom fighters after the annual Marvel vs. Capcom Tournament. Most of his thoughts were on Mega Man, who was supposed to get the X upgrade from Dr. Cain before the tournament, but the capsule shipment from 21XX was stalled because of the lasting effects of the computer version of the Sigma Virus. Without knowing what he was doing, he was trying to open one of the senior lockers. He caught himself quickly and bounded down the adjacent hallway with amazing speed, his long, pure white hair blowing wildly as he dashed through the school, passing people that knew him, but weren't familiar to him.
Skidding to a stop in front of his locker beside his girlfriend Angelina, he quickly put in his his combination, and slowed down when the locker opened up. Angelina, an extremely beautiful young lady with red hair and an unmatched figure, looked over to him with mild amusement.
"Lost in thought again, Kentorai?" she said, looking over her rimless glasses. A playful smile played across her face as she said these words.
"Yep," he said, digging his precalculus and Japanese books out of his book bag and replacing them with sociology and chemistry books. "I found myself trying to open Daisuke's locker. And you know that if I get in another student fight without a good reason, I'll get suspended."
"That's why you're supposed to watch where you're going when you walk, slow person." She was giggling slightly, like she was fighting to suppress much more than giggles.
"Whatever. At any rate, I'm not the one with glasses, Sonson."
"Ha ha, very funny. So what were you thinking about?" she said, with a tone of wonder.
"Three guesses, or you don't know me well enough," Kentorai gloomily replied.
"Mega Man, right?" she said. There was a worried tone to her voice.
"Yeah," he admitted. "I mean, the last time we saw him, he was in pretty bad shape because he never got the X upgrade capsule. Of course I'm worried about him."
" I perfectly understand, but Dr. Light said he will be fine, and that the capsule upgrade is on it's way. And we know Dr. Cain's going to take good care of him. He's one of the best technicians in the world. After all, Dr. Light tried to teach him everything he knows."
"I know, but whenX appeared before we left with the news, it looked pretty bleak. I can't help but be worried. If I didn't have school, I'd help them as much as I can." He looked down as he finished his sentence.
"Don't abuse yourself over this. You did as much as you can, and that's all we could ask for. We both know if it wasn't for you taking on Flame Stag, he would've been destroyed. Now come on before we're late to class." She pulled him after her, as they rushed to class.
As they ran down the hallway, trying to catch up with Momo Adachi, Kiley Okayasu, Sae Kashiwagi, and Toji Tojikamori, their closest friends at the school, Kentorai's battle senses flared up for a hot second, and he felt a dark presence with an evil intent, followed by the feeling that he was being watched. But it faded quickly as he caught up with them and went into his next class.
Flame Stag, an animal android in a race called Reploids, walked down the hallway from the repair bay towards the Commander's Quarters inside of Sigma's Base. His steps were quick, his breathing was hurried, and his face, usually smug and cruel, now was filled with fear. He reached Commander's Quarters, and stood there looking at the door, wondering whether to run or enter.
"Calm down, Stag," he thought to himself as he took a deep breath. "It may not be as bad as you think."
His hand, now extinguished of all flames, floated toward the signal.
"Well, if there's a God for Reploids, I hope he's with me now," he said, as he pressed the room signal.
"Enter," said a smooth, cold voice. It was if cold steel was passing through his ears. Flame Stag shuddered.
He stepped through the door into a well decorated room for a commander. The room was a silvery gray, with monitors of his base. There were awards on his wall from his days of being a Maverick Hunter, and pictures of Signas, his old commander in chief, and Zero, easily the best and strongest Hunter. Then, apart from them all, there was a picture of Mega Man X, his rival, for time and time again he was defeated by him. Sigma was standing in front of that wall, looking at the many pictures on the wall.
"You called me, General Sigma?" Flame Stag said, trying to hide the panic in his voice.
"Yes, Stag, I called you. I sent you to the past to destroy Mega Man before he became X, did I not?" he said in a calm, smooth tone.
"Yes, sir," he replied.
"You did not finish him like I asked you to, did you Stag?" Sigma said, still very calm.
"N-no, sir," he stammered. He had a shrewd idea where this was heading.
"May I ask you if you have a good reason why you did not finish him? I did not see you when you arrived, or I surely would have asked you then."
"Yes, sir. I believe I do." He felt like he had eaten his partner, Chill Penguin. His torch antlers began to steam as he began to sweat, something an animal Reploid like him, rarely did. "I was about to finish Mega Man off, when someone, a human with a monkey tail, came to his rescue. I fought as hard as I could, but he was too strong. I was almost destroyed, but my hour ran out, as I spent most of my time looking for him. I'm sorry for failing, Commander." He quickly went into a one-knee bow, but Sigma said, "Get up, Flame Stag. You have not failed me. I know about the warrior you faced. He was entirely too strong for you to defeat. Because of his proficiency in fire energy control, your fire attacks would not have hurt him. I doubt that even at my current condition, I couldn't beat him. However, I have been watching him closely today, and I think I may have a plan. Hit him where it hurts, and it'll bring him to his knees. I've been studying his battles, and I know what his weakness is, and how to obtain it without triggering the anger hidden inside. You have done well, you will be rewarded with a new upgrade, the Weapon Charge. You will be the first to recieve it. It will allow you to charge in both hands, making your attack drastically stronger." He turned away from Flame Stag, back to the picture of Mega Man X. "Finally,my Mega Man X problem will soon be solved...."
