With only one Maverick remaining, Ty, Diane and Primrose made their way to the final area, the Missle Silo Forest. Defeating the final Maverick would get them their headquarters and be able to turn Normal's plans around from behind his back.
(Area Intro-Megaman X8)
Their Opponent was to be a Giant Panda Maverick, literally. This panda-based reploid seemed to be even bigger than Avalanche Yeti, with large, hidden metal claws, a massive frame, and missile launchers hidden it its arms.
BAMBOO PANDAMONIUM
(Cue- Booster Forest-Megaman X8)
READY
"We're here, Anna!" Diane said as they arrived in the Missle Silo forest. "Whoa… this place seems a little mixed up."
"This facility was used for storage of Flux's missiles, rockets and spare ship parts. Now, it's just full of old rockets. What could a Maverick possibly want here?" Anna asked.
"Maybe so Normal can have a whole battalion of destructive missiles?" Ty asked.
"Unlikely, these missiles have been here a long time before Flux used this and when Normal took over, they don't seem functional anymore." Emi said.
"Well whatever Normal wanted with this stuff, we'd better put a stop to it." Ty said as they advanced.
They dealt with Mechaniloids and traversed over the old missile equipment, before they came to a set of elevators taking them to the top.
"Got a feeling Bamboo Pandamonium's gonna be waiting for us at the top. We'd better be careful with this big lug." Ty said.
"The target is a power type Reploid. It possesses incredible attack strength. Be careful not to get caught up in the close range attacks!" Anna said.
"Noted, speed it is." Primrose said as they made it to the top and saw the massive maverick there with its back turned to them.
WARNING! WARNING!
Bamboo Pandamonium then took notice of the three as he turned to them.
(Boss Intro- Megaman X8)
Did you know that the earliest form of rocketry was missiles used for war?" Bamboo Pandamonium asked.
"So humans wanted to use rockets to blow stuff up, what's your point?" Ty asked.
"Destructive inventions like that are what has brought both real and fictional worlds to their current state." Bamboo Pandamonium replied.
"Is that what you and the other New Generation Reploids believed? What Normal and Prometheus made you believe?" Primrose asked. "That's..."
"I know what you are going to say. You think that idea to be Maverick, don't you? That's why we are forced to fight, you see." Bamboo Pandamonium said.
(Cue- Temperance and Vengeance- Killer Instinct 2013)
Bamboo Pandamonium, despite his calm and apathetic speech, attacked first, and his attacks were deadly. He fired his Green Spinner missiles from his arms and grenades from his back, while drills came from his claws.
"This guy is crazy deadly!" Ty said as he dodged Pandamonium's attacks.
"Don't get flustered, like the others, he has his weaknesses." Primrose said.
"Yeah! Under all the artillery, he's still a nature-type Maverick!" Diane said.
"So if he's a nature based reploid that means his weakness is...fire! Anna!" Ty caled.
"One Flame Burner, coming up!" Anna said materializing a flamethrower in front of Ty.
"Time to burn it down." Ty said grabbing it.
"You've ever used one of those before?" Diane asked.
"Never once in my life." Ty said as he charged towards Pandamonium and blasted the Flame Burner right in his face.
"Aaah!" Bamboo Pandamonium cried out waving his arms around.
"Now!" Primrose said slashing through him with her dagger as Diane followed up with a swing of her hammer.
Bamboo Pandamonium then kicked into overdrive after he recovered, firing missiles into the air then executing a Youdantotsu-like move with his arms, barely hitting the three as the missiles rained down.
"Time to finish this." Ty said as he blasted the flame burner at Pandamonium and followed up with a spin Kick, stunning the maverick. Diane slammed her hammer into the panda bot as he was damaged badly as she smashed his arm off.
"Night Ode… farewell!" Primrose said as she danced, making a sphere of darkness appear as it bursted apart.
"Is this...the end?" Pandamonium asked as streaks of light leaked out of his body before he exploded.
"For you and the New Generation? Yes. For Normal's plans? It will be soon." Primrose said.
MISSION COMPLETE
"Well done everyone, you've gained full control of the base!" Anna said.
"Not only do we have our new HQ now, but we have the means to turn Normal's whole operation around." Ty said.
"It may have been an accident that we found this place… but I think it was worth it." Diane said.
"Agreed." Primrose said.
"Now then… we've got work to do." Ty said.
"Here's some materials that'll help repair any damage done to the base." Anna said materializing a large stack of materials in front of them.
"Thanks." Ty said. "Alright Emi. Let's get to work on preparing for Normal's downfall." Ty said. "Oh, and also, thanks for having our backs, you two."
"Not a problem." Emi said.
"Your team is important to us just as Ace and the others are." Anna said.
"Yeah… I'm proud that the Shadow Strike Force is a part of the Hero Alliance." Ty smiled.
