Megaman Shadow
Chapter 2
Friends Foe's and Alies
Zero fell to the ground and lay there before Ciel walked over to him and put her hands on his back.
"Roll can you help me get him to the lab to fix him," asked Ciel.
"Yeah ok," said Roll and help Ciel take Zero to the lab. Suddenly Leviathan pointed her staff at the cloaked reploid no one seem to have noticed until now.
"Ok then smart guy who are you," asked Leviathan with a threating tone.
Slash looked over at her and smiled under this cloak.
"Ah Leviathan one of the four gaurdings I have hear many things about you and your skill in battle, and your beauty" said Slash.
Harpiua looked at Slash with a raised eye brow.
"So just who are you," asked Harpiua.
"Well if it not Harpiua the thunder god I have hear the rumors of your skill in battle is almost equal to Zero's and far surpass that of the other 3 gaurdings," said Slash.
"It only 3 guardings the other one was..." started Harpiua he closed his fist and once again found him self with the idea of take down Zero while we was good and close.
"Beat by Zero yes fate is a tricky thing is it not," said Slash.
Fenif bust in to the command room late to the event.
"Whats going on," he asked holding his blaster in a firing position.
"Well we are asking this new comer who he is," said Leviathan.
Fenif smiled. "Give me five second I will make him talk."
"Well I did not expect a warm welcome tell me why are you so well on your guard," said Slash.
"You come here with a hurt Zero what do you expect we need to know who you are," said Harpiua.
"The I shall tell you but not here," said Slash.
Later on the roof of the base.
"My name...is Slash a Maverick Hunter much like Zero however I am not as lolay as he is. I am more of a rouge I have travel a long time and saw many things, but Zero is the one I longed to see he is my friend from long ago and the one person I believe that can win this war," said Slash as his cloaked blowed in the wind.
Leviathan looked confused. "Then why was he hurt when you got him here."
"That is his own fault he has been traveling looking for this base not stopping to think about him self to be true full I am surprise he is still able to speak," said Slash.
Harpiua stood with his arms crossed. "So what of you why are you here?"
"I have my reason now if you have got your answer allow me to go," said Slash.
"We are not letting you go anywhere we don't even know you," said Fenif.
"Let him go I order you too," said a Female voice.
The gaurdings looked around to see Roll.
"Are you sure," asked Harpiua.
"Yes do it," said Roll.
The gaurdings moved a side and walked off.
Slash smiled and walked over to Roll and hugged her gently Roll hugged back.
"About time you came to see me," said Roll.
"Sorry I had something to take care of," said Slash.
The two let go of each other.
"So where did you find Zero?" asked Roll.
"In a old human town it was empty guess who ever lived there moved after Weil started to take over," said Slash he looked at Roll. "How have you been hold up here."
"Well my assignment to be a contact here for you in not a easy one but I think I am doing a good job of it. Ciel see's me as a good friend and the others don't noticed anything," said Roll.
"Good just remember we have to keep it that way I need you to report to me about what is going on here. Because if I am right soon Zero will need to be ready if we fail we all lose," said Slash.
Roll looked at Slash and then smiled cheerful. "Don't worry I am sure it will be fine why not stay for a while."
Meanwhile far away from the base a army of dark green reploid troops walked in single file towards a human village leading them was a reploid wearing black amour a buster on one arm, and one eye was covered by a black metal patch.
The army stopped out side the village and the black reploid looked at the army.
"Ok listen up I am Megaman Shadow and you are under my command am I under stood," said Shadow.
The dark green reploids did not say a word but lights flashed on there helmets.
"Good I want this village destroy no one is to be left alive got that," said Shadow.
The reploids pointed her guns up way showing there under stood the order and started to walk in to the village.
Megaman Shadow smiled. "Well Zero if your still alive you better show your self," he said remembering what he was told when he awoke.
-Flashback-
"Zero...who is Zero," said Shadow.
"He is a Maverick and I wish for you to rid us of him that is why I made you," said a man in the shadows.
"What makes you think I can," said Shadow.
"I made you based on old blue prints of a other reploid called Megaman X. You are better then X I used the best techlogy around and build you, you will defend Zero" said the man.
-end Flashback-
"Well are you coming Zero?"
Back at the Base
Slash and Roll sat in her room at the base and where talking.
"So anyway what have you been doing from your last visit," asked Roll.
"Traveling trying to stay alive," said Slash. "Not one day goes by I don't think of you and what we could have been doing together if we had not found out about project MMS," said Slash.
Roll sighed and put a hand on Slash's arm. "I know I am sad to but look at it this way it should be over soon."
Suddenly the door busted open and Ciel rushed in.
"Roll quick we need to get to the command room and..." Ciel stopped when she saw Slash there.
"And...you are?" asked Ciel.
"No time for that Ciel now the command Room?" asked Roll.
"Oh yeah come on lets go," said Ciel and ran out like her feet where on fire.
Roll looked confused but follow and so did Slash when there got there the command room staff where working like crazy and the big screen showed a human village beaning ripped apart by a group of dark green reploids.
Harpiua, Leviathan and Fenif. Watched then walked on to the tansporter.
"Operator sent us to that village now," said Harpiua.
Ciel looked at Harpiua in shock. "But look at the size of that force you can not beat them."
"No but we can give Zero time he is almost done we check he has 10 to go," said Harpiua.
"But..." started Ciel then Slash step in front.
"I am going with you," he said.
Harpiua looked at him with searching eyes. "Ok then."
Slash stepped on tansporter and the operator sent them to the village Roll watch him go.
"Come back safe," said Roll to her self.
Fire burned the village all over Humans ran away from the reploids as there detsory the village, leave nothing stand when Slash, Hapiua, Leviathan and Fenif, got there it seem like there was nothing left to save.
"This is terrble how could anyone do this to humans," said Leviathan.
"We don't have time for this fan out and safe as many humans as you can," said Harpiua.
He looked over at Slash with a cold grale. "I am watching you."
The group set off in to the village to save the humans and destroy the dark green reploids.
Slash pulled off his cloak to show him self full he had green body amour on his helmet was clirce with small fins on, it was a light blue colour his right arm was gone and replace with a sword. His legs and left arm where under a black body suit. He dash forward in to a group of on coming reploids slashing them is to sracp. Harpiua flew over there head dive up and down slashing with his blades, and when he was sure it was safe to do so he cross them make lighting rain from the sky blasting the green reploids apart. Fenif had turned both his arms in to cannon and fired at the reploids blast them apart leave bits of burning metal in his wake. Leviathan used her power to make copys of her self to confuse the reploids, while she started to recuse the humans after a hour or so all humans where recuse and the reploids had been destroy.
"Anyone eles feel like that was to easy," said Slash.
"Nah your just weak," said Fenif.
Harpiua listen and heared a rumbleing sound. "No Slash is right Ciel do you read anything in the area."
Ciel voice came over the com.
"There is some kind of huge robot headed your way," she said.
Suddenly the ground gave way and a robot that looked like a giant kinght towered above them.
"Oh boy this is not good," said Leviathan.
Harpiua once again got in to his role as leader. "We are going on full attack mode get ready."
The kinght came forward and before the others moved his blade cut right past them sending them flying backwards when there stood back up there amour was cracked and broken off in places.
"He is real powerful," said Fenif.
"If we are going to die then at less we did it fighting for humans," said Harpiua.
The robot moved in raise his blade and then suddenly a gun shot hit him he looked over and so did the others standing on a cilf was a red reploid with long blonde hair, he lifed his head and had the glare of a warroir in his eyes it was Zero.
"Attacking humans now are we well I am afarid that party ends here," said Zero he pulled out his saber and jump in to the air and slashed at the robot leave a green cut mark down his chest. The robot turned to face Zero and smash his blade down on top of him suddenly Zero was seen holding the blade up with his hands he jumped out from under it pulled out his chain rod, and rap it around the robots arm and pulled the robot came crashing down on to the ground. Zero then pulled out his saber and point it at the robot he drived it right in to it back the light shine from it and then it exploed in a blinding flash. Then Zero walked out of the smoke and smiled he had won the battle and was once again proved to the world that he was the one and only Zero.
Slash smiled. "Thats the Zero I remember."
Harpiua stood up and walked over to Zero and shaked his hand.
"Welcome back Zero," he said.
"Ciel filled me in so this is what you meant Slash?" he asked.
Slash pulled his cloak back on and looked over at Zero "Half of it anyway,"
Suddenly a laser shot in front on them and the Black reploid appeared.
"Hello Zero," said the reploid.
"X?" said Zero. "No wait your not X."
"Of course not I am Megaman Shadow."
"Megaman Shadow," said Zero he looked at him he looked like X apart from the black amour he looked comptele like X right down to the buster.
"I am here to rid the world of you Maverick sucm," said Shadow.
"I am not a Maverick if anyone is it's you," said Zero.
"Really then why work with them Mavericks behind you," said Shadow.
"The Guardings are not Mavericks and ethier is Slash," said Zero.
"Well then are we going to just look at each other all day or do something," said Shadow.
Zero had his hand oh his gun behind his back. "Guys back to the base."
"No way," said Harpiua stepping forward in protest.
"Go I will handed this by my self," said Zero.
The other disappear and Zero was left faceing Megaman Shadow Zero kept his hand on his gun and then pulled it out and fried at Shadow, Shadow jumped and avoid it with out any effot he fired back Zero. He was just able to avoid it but it did clip his arm.
"How did he do that no one as came that close before." Thought Zero.
"I am above you in all ways Zero you can not beat me," said Shadow.
"And you think we are Mavericks you starting to sound like one," said Zero.
"What do you mean." said Shadow.
"Mavericks care for nothing but power and that what your talking about right now a lush for never ending power so I ask you who is the real Maverick," Zero said.
"That is a easy question you are," said Shadow he aimed his buster and fried again Zero just able to move before he was hit.
"Stand and face your end like a warrior Zero," said Shadow and kept fireing.
Zero did all he could but the Shadow got a lucky hit on him Zero fell to he ground Shadow walked over and pointed his buster at him.
"Well this is the end for you almight god," said Shadow.
For one second Zero saw X stand over him.
"You are...fighting...for the...one...side," said Zero suddenly Zero was teleported away.
Megaman Shadow stood there and Zero words rang in his head.
"You are fighting for the wrong side."
Megaman Shadow walked off heading back to his base.
