The Lumitropolis, crowded home on Lumino, under attack by heartlesses. Derek has left the road tunnel to see Heartlesses flying. The camera pans and skyrockets to where the Key Bearing Lumino-Beings are fighting back. Two against one. Two against some. Different groups are partaking to defend Lumitropolis from the vicious Heartless. This battle would be easy since those Heartlesses are just weak grunts. Then come Nobodies from the portals which just opened up.
(BGM: Megaman X7 - Conflict - Escape Stage)
"Nobodies too?!" Derek stared, readying his green-beaming Keyblade. Just in tome for Nobodies to surround him, all alone against six. The ones I read about as well. Well... Let's see how they do well against my new power of Mega Man. Two from each side goes first with a Leap, and Derek swung his blade sideaways, knocking them back. Derek makes a sprint and strikes down each Nobody with a dash. My dash power is the same as ZX. Sweet! One by one until all six goes down. Then few more appears more.
More Heartless swarm teleporting on the highway. Too many. I better take them all out. Derek thoughted some more, before sprinting and the Nobodies Followed. He looks down to find a some kind of Side-Arm. He puts away his Key Blade and pulls out some kind of futuristic blaster. Buster Pistol. This will come in handy. He aimed and fired with a pull of the trigger, letting out bullets of energy at the foe. It came better now as each few shots evaporized the Nobodies. More flying in his way and Derek showed no mercy with his buster pistol out, zapping down each Nobodies. When he reaches the cracked road, he skids to a halt and looks up. Heartlesses falling to their dooms to the cracked highway, and so much adds injury before the Highway crumbles and falls. That was close. Footsteps and he turns around.
A Heartless wielding a shield. Derek raised his buster gun and fires, only for the shield to deflect them into the air. Ineffective. I better use the power of Keyblade. He opens up his keyblade and puts away his sidearm, before rushing forward. One swing deflects his swing back, before pulling back for another swing, which pushes the shielding Heartless. An upper-side slash and the shield is launched into the air, but not very far from it. Derek took the opportunity and dash slash, bringing down the Shielding Heartless.
He turns and jumps over the gap, reaching the ledge he grabs with one hand and pulls himself up, rolling over and standing on his feet. He makes a sprint only to find another heartless, this time much bigger. Shaped as as a Scorpion but with four claws, each firing lasers. Derek makes use of his maneuvering skill as best as he can, running from the stream of lasers, and jumping over the one coming to his frontal side. He raises his Keyblade and stop the vicious laser, slightly pushing Derek back. He pulls out his Sidearm with left hand and fires quick bursts at blank aiming. One bullet which went for the eye, making the Heartless Jumbo Scorpion pull back and cover the eyes. Dirk then makes a sprint and jumps, before bringing his Keyblade downwards, cutting down two Claws.
It got back and launched its two remaining claws, only Derek swung back and cut each claws. He doesn't know, that a pinching tail is here, launching at Derek. He rolls and jumps, slashing the scorpion front and running along before jumping down. It bursts and dissolves in dark pixels.
Another one approaches, the same Jumbo Scorpion heartless, but the tail now fires energy bombs. Derek makes a sprint, forward and strafing left and right to dodge most before raising his Keyblade upwards, it creates a scar of light from under as it's body is higher not blocking Derek's running path, before the Jumbo Scorpion goes down and bursts and dissolves.
(BGM Off)
The number of Heartlesses and Nobodies invading are decreasing. Soon most are making a retreat, and the Keyblades goes on patrol to route out the hidings.
Who would send those two kinds to attack like this. Derek thoughted.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Somewhere, in the shadows. A figure saw the human in its futuristic red armor wielding a green beam sword. It's armor is blue and robot-like.
No Blonde hair, and it wears glasses. It thoughted, observing this person, Obviously, that must be a maverick inpersonating my friend. He raises his arm and opens the Communications.
"This is X. I spotted the Copy Chip Thief. Pursuing now." He closes and jumps down.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Derek gets ready and makes a sprint, only the blue laser in sight stops his progress. It collides with the highway road not making any damages, but instead forming into a bipedal being with blue and cyan armor. It's armor similar to Derek's but far different. He opens a gun in left arm and points it at him.
"Don't move. Maverick." It said in a cold and authoritic tone, wanting to kill him.
Heartless? No. Derek thoughted, No heartless symbol or nobody symbol on its chest. That means it's the real Mega Man X. Yay for my Game Lore perks. He looked at the emotioned face, which shows hostility. But why would he stop me? Doesn't he have mavericks to beat down and-
"Drop your Disguise. I know you have the Copy Chip." He demanded, ending Derek's short train of thoughts, "Those are too dangerous to be played with."
"I don't know what you are talking about." Derek said,
"Do not play Innocent." He said, "You will not be the Second Axl."
"I am not like Axl, but I just got that po-" Derek was cut off with a charged shot heading to him, and Derek jumped over.
(Megaman Zero 3 - Scrapped Beat)
"This is your last warning. Drop your Disguise." X warned, "Or I will retire you and take the Chip away by force."
"Listen to me." Derek said, "I do not have the Chip." He is then responded with another charged shot, forcing Derek to turn on his Keyblade and block one. Alright. I'll make him listen. He used his keyblade and started deflecting Charged Shots one after one. X then switch tactics by dashing diagnolly and forward, but Derek kept his position forward at the Fighting Robot as it fired rapid shots. Derek swung his sword down and rapidly in different directions, blocking each Buster Shots away from him. X comes close and delivers a kick, and Derek jumps out of the way. Fast. Well how about this. He brings his sword downwards, before X's armor changes colors. It is now Darker Brown and Cinnamon orange. It fires a teleported steel wheel out of X's buster gun.
"Moving Wheel!" X called out, as the wheel blocked Derek's swing. He jumps back and to the ground, before sprinting forward. X's colors change once more, into Greeny Green. "Gaea Shield." X's bluish stone shield with techno mines green lighting expands, blocking every swings. Then X delivers a punch followed by an uppercut, sending Derek to the air.
He's good. Derek thoughted, before he lands to the ground flat up. He jumps up and readies his Keyblade again.
"A Keyblade?" X recognized, "Must be more of that Copy Chip Tricks. I will take you down!" then snap back to battle with another color change. This time Blue and Indigo Blue. Not regular color of X. "Splash Laser!" Multiple beams of Water blasted out, and Derek simply deflected them back. He continues to deflect each. "No! A Copy Maverick couldn't be that skillful."
"Maybe it's by luck." Derek said, angering X further.
"X. Are you okay?" Came from the voice of a Navigator not from the original ones, but rather male and old. "Alia's sending Glide Armor in 3 seconds. This should give boost."
"Roger." X said, before he is coated in advanced white and yellow armor. It's shoulderpads are arched up, and yellow blades shown on the helmet covering bottom of the red gem. "You're just like the Red Alert Criminals whom we'll never like. I'll make sure you Mavericks will never touch a single Copy Chip as long as we Maverick Hunters live." He reverts to his normal colors before preparing his buster gun, charging up and firing. Three homing plasma blasts coming for Derek. He however deflect them repeatedly as it turned and came back like a boomerang. One hard swing like a baseball bat, and all three are launched at X, knocking him down. "Take this then." He said, charging up something that isn't in the powers of X. "Meteor!"
Magic? Derek thoughted, How'd X learned Magic? Robots can't use them! He looks up to find Meteors falling to him. Derek armed his Buster Gun and started firing rapid shots. Each reducing every burning meteors to crumbling pieces while X still hovers. One more and X finds himself down on the ground, out of stamina it seems.
(BGM Off)
A Reploid who can cast meteor, a High-level spell. Then the prophecies may come true. He looks into the sky, The worlds will merged, for war or peace. That must be what the voice in my head is saying a couple of days ago. He looked at X. First things first. He walks up, "Now... Will you listen to me. It's not the Copy Chip. It's my new power given by the-"
"X!" Come from a voice of Alia, waking X up and making him jump away from Derek, his buster gun still armed. "General Signas needs you back at the base! Additional Mavericks have approached Mega City! Zero is already heading his way, but Signas needs you reporting for duty so we can push them back!"
Darn... X thoughted in defeat, Couldn't even make a bigger scratch. he stands up and glares killing daggers at Derek. "This is not over. I will return one day and shut you down. This is the duty of the Maverick Hunters, and no Mavericks will be shown mercy." Then he teleports away in a blue lasering manner.
"Derek?"
He turns to find a party group led by a brother of his known as Dell, in his White, Blue and Red royalish clothing, cottoned and magically empowered. His group wears the same thing.
"Oh. Hello Dell." Derek said, smiling.
"So it's you. My friend said you were fighting Heartless with a weapon." He said,
"Dell. I told you it's a Keyblade." Dell's friend Jerry glared at him,
"Keyblade?" Dell said, "Ridiculous. He's just a Robot now."
"Ridiculous? I just saw it. And the Robot can use magic as well."
"But how..."
Robots can use magic? Doesn't explain how still... Derek looked at Dell and open his mouth for interruption"Actually I have one." Derek said with his excitement growing, smiling as Dell and group looked at him, "And here's proof." He pulls out the contraption, pushing the trigger and making green beams emit into a key-shaped blade. Dell sensed something inside the blade. "Yep. I've become Mega Man!" Then poses like his heroic icon favorite, "Don't worry about me coming to the Academy. I can train and wait for another year, and one day pass the Mark of Mastery Exam. I'll be rocking like an awesome warrior."
The same function as the Keyblade. That's how. Dell thoughted, Well Done dear brother. But... examining Derek's armor. Mega... Man... This sounds familiar... I should talk to the Elder Council. Maybe he knows something.
