Megaman Excel
By: Metal Sonic EX
Disclaimer: I do not own either of the Megaman Legends or Megaman X storylines. Short, and simple.
This is how this fanfic works. This is a Megaman X/ Megaman Legends crossover. As you can probably tell, Megaman Voulnut's past is revealed and it turns out that he was a famous Maverick Hunter. It will be told better as you read it. Now, I'm going to try making the later chapters/ boss battles as close to the games as I can. The earlier chapter battles will be a regular 3-D Legends-style battle. The later chapters will change between 2-D and 3-D.
The way that you can tell what dimension it is? Just notice this:
2-D Conversion - battle style changes from 3-D to 2-D
3-D Conversion - battle style changes from 2-D to 3-D
Simple, right? Anyways, it should be noted that I have played Legends 1 and 2. It should also be noted that I have played ALL BUT Megaman X2. So, chances our, there will be little mention of any X2 characters. Also, in the later chapters, the strongest Maverick (as far as I am concerned…) from X1 through X8 will come together to form a whole new stage select. My favorite Maverick, Axle the Red, will replace one of ranks later on. Why? Because, he's my favorite and I have more trouble with him than I do with the 8th strongest Maverick.
Next, I have played a game called Megaman Xtreme 2, so the two main villains from that game will also make an appearance here. I haven't played the first, so… Also, from I can gather from looking at the recommended order for X2 on the Megaman Home Page website Wire Sponge is the strongest from X2. He's on Megaman Xtreme 2, so I have an idea of his attacks.
And, just as a warning, this fanfic has the most spoilers that I have ever seen in a single fanfic. Most of them will be in the chapter that explains the Megaman X series. It's only a summary, but you still should be careful if you don't want the ending spoiled. And now that I've babbled to my heart's current desire, let the fanfic begin!
Prologue
Strange Occurrences
"Tron, this is how we are going to do it!"
"No, this is the right way!"
Roll Casket and Tron Bonne were arguing again on how to make a space shuttle to get their friend, Megaman Voulnut, out of the planet-like Elysium. It had been about a month since he had left for Elysium. Data, Megaman's faithful monkey companion, had already returned. He had offered to help the girls make a shuttle, but the girls had insisted to make it themselves. They had tried at least two dozen times already, failing each time.
Roll's long lost parents, Banner and Matilda, had been reunited with Roll in a most unusual way. First off, the purple-haired digger was only a friend of Joe's who had promised to take his place if he didn't return.
(A.N. Stupid Capcom! I hate the fact that Capcom made that… that… disgrace of a Capcom character her father! Her father in this fanfic is a nice, well-mannered, and brown-haired digger. That's how I pictured him as being at the beginning of Megaman Legends 2. For those of you who don't like it: SHOVE IT!)
Matilda's body had been unintentionally taken over by Mistress Yuna after she found her on Forbidden Island, near death. Just recently, Yuna had created a new body for herself, returning Matilda, now in perfect health, to the planet, Terra.
Professor Barrell Casket, Roll's grandfather, had been the most surprised by the sudden return of his daughter and son-in-law. They had left on a dig at Forbidden Island to find the mysterious 'Mother Lode'. They had never been seen again, and that was about fifteen years ago. After the emotional reunion, Roll had gotten back to work.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Teasel Bonne, Tron's older brother, cried as he rushed to stop the catfight. Roll's dad, Banner, followed right after him. In seconds, Joe had restrained Roll while Teasel restrained Tron.
"Roll, I don't think that this is the perfect time to be fighting. What about…"
"I want to help him! But SOME PEOPLE obviously don't want to help!"
"I want to help too! But SOME PEOPLE want to do it the hard way!"
Within seconds, they were fighting again and the two had trouble restraining the girls. "Roll! Banner! Guys! Look at that!" Everyone looked to where Prof. Casket had indicated. In the sky, an orange dropship made it's way towards the ground. "Well, looks like Megaman decided to come back himself." Matilda commented. "WHAT?" Everyone within hearing distance had to wince at this because the girls screaming in unison was a few decibels higher than it should have been. "And after all the work we put into getting him down!"
The girls had just begun to calm down when they heard an explosion from the shuttle launch pad that they had constructed. "Ms. Tron! Mr. Teasel! We did it!" The siblings started when they heard this outburst from one of the Servbots, little robots created by Tron and servants to the Bonnes that just so happened to look like Lego people. A rocket shot up over the hill and, to Tron, Teasel, and Roll's surprise, didn't blow up. "They built a working rocket!" Teasel gaped. "Hey, wait a sec…" Tron thought for a second, then shouted to the Servbots, "WAIT! MEGAMAN IS ALREADY COMING DOWN!" There was a brief silence before one of the Servbots shot back, "Well, we can't turn around!"
By this time, Megaman's dropship had already crashed into the ground and a few feet away from the group. The door opened with a hiss and Megaman stumbled out, his brown hair a little bit messier than usual and his bright blue armor glinting in the sun. "Gee, thanks for the smooth landing, Geatz." Megaman managed between coughs. Geatz was a reaverbot who was created to be Mistress Yuna's guardian and servant. Another reaverbot, Gatz, was created to serve and protect Mistress Sera.
"My pleasure, Master Trigger."
"Stop calling me Master Trigger. Just Megaman will do."
"I've been swore to protect Mistress Yuna. She added the objective of protecting Master Trigger later on. I cannot reprogram that objective. Thus, I must call you Master Trigger."
"Ah, well. I guess I'll be seeing you around then.
The dropship's door closed and the propellers began spinning again. "See you around, Master Trigger." Megaman stood where he was and watched the dropship disappear into the sky. "Megaman!" Roll came out of nowhere, obviously having broken her father's grasp, and hugged Megaman. "Uh, Roll? Do you mind? I'm kind of in pain here." Roll immediately let go. "I'm sorry." Megaman shrugged. "That's okay."
They both turned when they heard a sudden outburst from Tron. "Well, isn't this wonderful! Megaman's back on Earth and half of the Servbots are going into space!" Banner thrust a finger at the shuttle. "LOOK!" A sudden glint caught everyone's eyes. They couldn't see exactly what it was, but from where they were standing, it looked like… "AN ANCHOR?" Teasel cried in alarm. Seconds later, the anchor crashed into the engine of the shuttle, causing a huge explosion to take place.
As the ship's wreckage fell, everyone ran over to see if anyone was hurt.
(A.N. Mental note! People who are on a space shuttle when it blows up usually get hurt! Why did I add that part in? Cause I'm crazy! XD)
By the time they got there, the wreckage had already landed and continued burning. Several screams were heard from above and shortly thereafter, the Servbots began landing one by one on the ground. Tron ran up to one of the Servbots who was still coughing up smoke.
"What on Earth just happened?" The Servbot, known as Servbot #32 managed to respond with some difficulty. "An anchor hit us and the ship blew up." Tron face began turning red. "WELL, THAT'S OBVIOUS!" Again, everyone within hearing distance had to wince at this outburst. Another Servbot, known as Servbot #16, looked up, cried out in alarm, and managed to scramble out of the way before the giant anchor came crashing to the ground.
"WOW! Teasel! Give me a hand with this!" Banner and Teasel rushed over and, with some difficulty, stood the anchor up. Teasel's height, as far as I know, is about six to seven feet. The anchor was about two-thirds of Teasel's height, that being about four to five feet. "This thing is huge!" Teasel cried out in astonishment. Just then, a slight tremor took place and a geyser of dirt, grass, and junk began shooting up from the ground, just a few feet away from the group. Due to the shaking, Banner dropped the anchor onto Teasel's foot. "CRAP!" He grabbed his foot and began bouncing around. "Sorry!"
Just as Teasel stopped muttering insults, the geyser began shooting twice as much junk as it was before. "This is ridiculous!" Tron said with disgust. Banner, Teasel, and the Servbots scrambled away from the ship's wreckage, seconds before something erupted from the ground where the geyser was only seconds ago. Everyone shielded their eyes and tried to see what had just came out of the ground, but all they could see was a glowing, purple object doing a spin in the air. When it landed with a 'Thud!', everyone's jaws dropped.
Before them was a large, purple, hammerhead shark-like reaverbot with razor sharp teeth and a red crystal in its forehead. "Please excuse me for this sudden intrusion. But, I believe that this…" He bent over further than he already was and picked up the enormous anchor with no difficulty. "…is mine." The sudden outburst from Teasel startled everyone, the shark most of all. "NOW WAIT JUST A SECOND!" Teasel stormed up to the shark, his red eyes glaring at it. "Now, first off, where do you get off destroying our shuttle!" The shark just stared at him. I've had enough of this. First, this carbon's rambling is getting annoying already. Second, I'm sick of squatting. "So, Megaman was already down here. So what? That gives you no reason to…"
Teasel never finished his sentence. When the shark stood to its full height, about eight and a half feet, everyone gasped. Even the Servbots who had been cheering Teasel on shut up. "On second thought…" He began slowly walking backwards, grinning nervously. "Just forget everything I just said. HAVEANICEDAYBYE!" With that comment blurted out, Teasel ran back to the group like the Looney Tunes Roadrunner. "Phhhttt! Carbons are so ridiculously easy to frighten these days."
He then began looking around and paused when he reached Megaman. "Well, well. Isn't this a nice surprise. Maverick Hunter Megaman Trigger. We meet again." Megaman raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean 'again'? I've never seen you before in my life." The shark chuckled and grinned an evil grin. "It appears that losing your memory was somewhat of a fatal mistake."
Suddenly, a squeaky, high-pitched tone of voice rang out. "Geez, guys. I try taking one short nap and what happens? You blow something! That's what." Of course, Megaman was the only one who understood him. Little did they know, the shark also understood this and his eyes narrowed. "Data!" Megaman saw his monkey friend running down the hill. Data had a teacup-shaped body and a straight, bouncy tail.
"I mean, seriously guys! You guys are so loud, you could wake up a…" Data saw the shark and came to screeching halt. "WAIT! YOU'RE… IT CAN'T BE!" Everyone looked at the shark and he stared at Data. "Well, it appears that your memory isn't as far as I'd prefer. Personally, I'd like to dispose of it right now." The shark took a giant step forward, Data squeaked, and he ran behind Prof. Casket's leg. "Hey, leave Data alone!" Roll spoke up, defending her friend.
"Yeah! What did he ever do to you?" Megaman added and pointed his buster at the shark. "It's not a matter of what he did to me, it's a matter of what he could do to me! As long as memory still exists, both you and your little monkey friend pose a serious threat. And I tend to dispose of threats before they dispose of me!" The shark took step towards Megaman, swung his anchor, which had been resting on his shoulder all this time, and pointed it at Megaman. "Prepare yourself, Maverick Hunter! The time for your demise HAS COME!" Megaman never got to react.
"HOTHRA!"
(A.N. Because of the Japanese stuff that the bosses from one of the Megaman X games (can't tell you which one), I'll try to get as close as possible to what they are saying. For this boss, this is what this attack sounds like.)
The shark practically flew to the air above Megaman's head. It did a vertical flip and Megaman rolled out of the way before the shark crashed into the ground, causing another slight tremor. The shark repeated this method and, again, Megaman rolled out of the way.
(A.N. The following attack isn't in the game. It's one I came up with, meaning that it is MY attack. So, please don't use it without my permission. I'll give you a disclaimer about this in the next chapter.)
The shark then hurtled the anchor at Megaman, leaving a long chain connected to the anchor in his hands. This time, it hit him and he cried out as he flew backwards. He never touched the ground though because the shark pulled the chain backwards, making the anchor catch Megaman in mid-air. It held out its free hand, grabbing Megaman by the neck when he got close enough, and catching his anchor in the other one.
As Megaman began gasping for air, the shark chuckled. "This was truly pathetic, Maverick Hunter. I was expecting the least bit of a challenge from you. I must admit, I am truly disappointed." Tron screamed so loud and so suddenly, that… well… you don't need me to tell you. Do you? "PUT HIM DOWN!" Even the shark winced at this outburst. "When this poor excuse of a Maverick Hunter expires, you'll be the first carbon to go." Tron just gaped at him. "Just who do you…"
What happened next was like in slow motion. A green laser saber came out of nowhere, struck the shark's hand, making him release Megaman, and buried itself into the ground. The shark's eyes bulged out of his head and he spun to look at the saber, recognizing it instantly. Megaman was choking at the shark's feet when the shark spun his head to just catch a glimpse of a yellow and red blur. Megaman, who had regained his composure, scrambled away from the shark's feet. It just stood there looking and taking in what had just happened. He then clenched his fist, took a few steps, and hollered at the top of his lungs, if he had any…
"DAMN MAVERICK HUNTER!"
His voice echoed over the vast plain and the group just stared at it. The shark then spun around to look at Megaman, pointed at him, and snarled. "Consider yourself EXTREMELY lucky that your Maverick Hunter buddy decided to come and rescue you! We will meet again and when we do, rest assured, I will hold nothing back!" With that, he jumped into the air, landed on Teasel's shoulders, giving him the scare of a lifetime, and jumped off. He collided with the ground with such force that he broke into the dirt and continued burrowing underground. Megaman stood up and, with Banner by his side, ran over to the hole, just as the tremor from the shark's collision ended.
"Well, that was most definitely a new experience." Matilda looked at her father and nodded. "You're telling me." Teasel began freaking out, badly. "Wha… Wha… WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT THING!" Tron snorted and began walking up to the strange saber. "Baby." She tried to pull it out and, with some difficulty, found out that she couldn't. She sat down and noticed a small button in the side of it. "Hmmm. I wonder what this does?" She pushed it and the laser retreated into the handle, which fell harmlessly to the ground. Tron began getting all ticked while Roll was struggling to contain her laughter. "What's so funny!" Roll shook her head. "Nothing, nothing."
A half hour later, the saber handle lay on a table while Tron and Roll had tried to figure out how it worked. An old friend of Prof. Casket's, Von Bleucher, had come to ask Megaman a favor. "Lately, we've been receiving a strange reaverbot signal coming from the ruins on Manda Island. I was just wondering if you would check it out for me." Roll turned to Megaman. "Well? How about it Megaman?" Megaman shrugged. "I don't see why not. After all, with what's been going on lately, I need a good dig." Von Bleucher raised an eyebrow and Banner began explaining what had happened.
Meanwhile, back at the table, a tall stranger reached up, removed the saber handle from the table, and returned it to a white case built into the back of his armor. He then chuckled and began talking to himself with a voice which was that of a confident teenage male. "He he he. Megaman Trigger, my old friend, a whole new adventure is about to take place and neither you nor your carbon friends are aware of this. Ah, well. Anyways, meet you at the ruins." With that, he turned and dashed off, his long, thin ponytail blowing in the wind behind him.
By now, Banner had finished explained what had happened and Von Bleucher had begun to scratch his chin. "Hmmm. Interesting. I hope that next time I'll be able to see this reaverbot first-hand. Ah, well." Tron suddenly started. "Wait a sec!" She ran back to the table, only to find its surface bare.
"Teasel, did you do anything with the saber handle we found?"
"No. Why?"
"Because, it's not here anymore!"
"What do you mean it's not there?"
After a few searching for a few minutes, Tron threw her hands up in exasperation. "Forget it! Let's just go!" And so, the Casket and Bonne families took off in their ships, their sights set on Manda Island. The teenager stepped out from behind one of the now smoldering pieces of the shuttle and chuckled to himself again. "Let the games begin." With that he teleported out of sight.
Well, what do you think? I would just like to tell you that I wrote the first three chapters of this fanfic as a school assignment. I won't get into to details right now, but I probably will in the introductory statements of the next chapter. So, Read and Review. Please.
