Well here it is… my first fic. R&R as much as possible and please just bear with me and my atrocious grammar. And to face the facts I don't own Mega Man X or Capcom and their characters.

Glacial Dragon presents…. Mega Man X Operation Phoenix.

X walked down the hall of hunter H.Q. Noticing the usual groups of new hunters. One thought went through X's head at this moment. "Why oh why am I stuck with recruitment duty?" Signas saw X enter the corridor to the recruitment area. Signas casually walked towards X as several hunters saluted him.

"X, I know you don't like recruitment duty but you're going to have to do it."

"I know, just hope we have a decent hunter join this time because I'm tired of want to be hunters fail tragically. Anyway what's Zero stuck with?"

"Oh Zero? Heh he's stuck on a reconnaissance mission." Signas replied.

"Oh how the top hunters are the unlucky ones" X muttered.

Zero quickly ran through a forest somewhere in South America. His mission was to meet with an undercover Maverick Hunter for intelligence on the Mavericks army.

Reconnaissance really burned him up because there was usually no resistance which he loved to encounter. The 0th unit commander stopped for a second looking at the overgrown vines and trees. Zero switched on his communicator.

"This is Zero, no resistance encountered so far. How far to target point?"

"Zero, you've got five hundred meters to the target point. So go meet up with Sonic Stingray." Alia quickly said.

"Rodger." Zero pushed the button again. "So five hundred meters huh? That won't be hard."

In a red blur Zero dashed south. Ahead was a clearing with a waterfall and a small pool of water. This was the location to meet Sonic Stingray.

"Zero."

Zero looked around and saw no one. The water glistened in the sunlight. Zero was caught off guard when a blue ray erupted from the waterfall. Trap!

"Fool did you think we didn't know about Sonic Stingray? Well he's one of us now isn't that right Stingray?"

Sonic Stingray in is metallic aqua armor slowly walked out of the waterfall. He then raised his buster to Zero's head.

"Die."

Zero casually leaned back as the plasma shot missed the target and went flying over his head into a tree that turned into a watery version of what it used to be. Sonic Stingray still stood in his exact position not moving a millimeter. Zero's hand went to his plasma sabre. He pulled it out and the blade flickered to life. The sabre glowed in the reflection of the water. Zero got in an offensive crouch.

"Ha Zero, you must be kidding because that little toy you wield doesn't scare me." yelled Sonic Stingray.

Zero dashed towards Sonic Stingray with plasma sabre extended. Sonic Stingray shot rapidly at the now airborne hunter.

"You are no challenge Maverick." Zero said coldly as he took his sabre down through the Maverick's body.

A mixture of robotic blood and oil spurted out of the Maverick. Zero pushed the button on his communicator again.

"Alia, this is Zero. Sonic Stingray was a Maverick so I disposed of him…Returning to base." Zero confirmed.

"Rodger, but that's the third one this week…anyways good job, Zero." Alia answered.
