Chapter X

All Hell Breaks Loose


(A.N. To make things go by faster, I'm cramming all of the fortress levels into one chapter.)

"No way…" X had just relayed the bombshell from the Mother Units to Repliforce and the hunters. "All we need now is Gate to do a press conference and drop this bombshell on the public." X nodded. "I'm on my way back to the computer room now. I'll meet you there."

Colonel and Storm Eagle arrived shortly and waited X to arrive in the hangar. Matilda, Banner, the Bonnes, Tobias, and dozens of X's friends from his days as a digger arrived shortly as well. Finally, Alia and Midi walked through, followed by Axl, Zero, Dynamo, and Roll.

"Sweet Jesus!!" Teasel instantly fell in love with X's new armor. It was almost entirely a tan color, had an unusual shape, and the ground shook every time X took a step. "The Mother Units made this. It's called the Terra Armor."

(A.N. Like before, this is from a sketch in Megaman X: Command Mission.)

X then announced the Mother Units development and the entire room fell silent. "You're joking, right? How long did it take them to make this?" X shrugged. "I truly don't know. All I know is that…" Just then, the lights flickered and a hologram of Gate appeared in the center of the room.

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate begins playing)

(A.N. This tune's available on Atomic Fire.)

"Greetings, hunters and otherwise. If you're wondering where I was, I was tying up a few loose ends. I'm proud to say that the Reconstruction is complete." He smirked as everyone cheered. "And, I'm also proud to announce that now is the perfect time to start rebuilding."

X exchanged looks with Zero as Colonel spook up. "Start rebuilding what?" Gate smirked in a way that made X uneasy. "To start rebuilding the ultimate reploid utopia, a dream shattered by X and Zero centuries ago." Alia gasped as X ran forward.

"That's because you would've sacrificed innocent lives!" Gate frowned. "Innocent or not, lives must be lost at one point in time." Gate smiled evilly. "Just think of me speeding this process up." Zero growled and smashed his fist into the wall. "You didn't go missing! You went Maverick!"

Gate snorted and continued smirking. "Call it what you will, but my utopia is already underway. There is no stopping it now." With that, Gate's hologram grew staticky and vanished. "Shit!!" Everyone turned to Zero and his fist went through the wall this time. "We do not need this shit!"

Zero pulled his fist out of the wall and turned to Alia. "Where'd the transmission come from?" Alia quickly checked on her laptop. "Oh God… It came from the time warp!" Zero swiftly exited the room. "I'm going to tear Gate limb from limb for this."

X quickly caught up and found Zero still fuming. "I knew it! He reappeared with the others and I knew we shouldn't trust. But no one listened. Now look what's happening!" X frowned and focused on the mission instead of worrying about Zero.

In Dr. Light's estate, X quickly explained what was going on. The screen was lowered and Dr. Light began searching. "What I did to Wily's gonna seem like a dream compared to what I've got in store for Gate." Zero's torrent of curses was halted when Dr. Light announced that he'd found him.

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate fades out)

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Stage Select begins playing)

"He's in an abandoned radio tower a few kilometers south of here. I can take you there, but some kind of shield is surrounding the building. You'll have to find your own way in." Zero cracked his neck. "Gladly."

They were beamed down by a massive drain, one which Zero took no time jumping into as soon as he landed, the lights flickered. X landed next to him and the lights actually stalled briefly. The two ran into the next room and got onto an elevator.

A bunch of Mettaurs dropped down, so they swiftly dispatched them before the elevator reached its' destination. "Where's the exit?" The exit was sealed tight and Stealth Man jumped down onto the elevator.

He had an arm cannon for his left hand, a face mask, and an unusual device was built into his chest. "The one that got away… Don't think you'll be so lucky this time!" Stealth Man snorted, then aimed his buster. "Bring it, hunters! I'll counter everything you throw at me."

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle begins playing)

Stealth Man vanished as Zero summoned Sigma Blade and looked around. "Stealth Shot!!" Zero was knocked back as X began charging his buster. "Power Cruncher!!"

X fired a large bear trap-like burst that bit Stealth Man in half. His lower half exploded as Stealth Man began sparking. "System error… Pantomime failure…" Stealth Man's half disappeared and an odd black robot appeared briefly before beaming off.

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle fades out)

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate Stage resumes)

A door materialized in the wall as Zero turned to X. "How'd you know?" X smirked. "Everything else seemed ineffective. Plus, I saw the distortion his stealth module caused."

Zero smirked, then took off down the hallway. Several Sniper Joes and Big Eyes littered the hall as Zero frowned. "Think we can take 'em all?" X smirked. "Watch me." He focused his armor's energy, then punched the ground.

Light broke from the ground as it cracked and soon the light became blinding. When the light faded, chunks of scrap metal fell to the ground. "Nice…" X smirked and stood erect. "Yuna called it the 'Terra Crush'." Just then, the nearby wall was blown in.

Artillery Man was heavily-armored and had treads for feet. Missile launchers were implanted in his shoulders and his entire body looked like it could fire some kind of missile. His hands were also replaced with turrets. "Come on! Let's dance!!"

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle restarts)

"Frozen Tundra!!" X quickly froze Artillery Man's feet to the ground. He started, then smirked before simply pulling his feet free. "Draining Fire!!" The energy beams ripped through Artillery Man's body and formed a ball which he grabbed with his turret and threw it back at X.

"Last one. Nightmare Spell!!" The area around X distorted and Artillery man's armor simply fell off. "Pantomime failure…" A burst of electricity knocked Artillery Man down and he vanished, replaced by the same black robot.

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle fades out)

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate Stage resumes)

"That thing again…" X and Zero exchanged looks before running into another elevator shaft. Swarm Mosquito dropped down, then hovered into the air. His armor was tan and his wings moved so fast, they could barely be seen. He also had to large black eyes. "Time for Round 2, Zero!!"

The elevator began rising and an explosion was heard a few floors above them. "What was that?" Mosquito snorted, but didn't look up. "That madman's already starting to work. I'd better make this quick."

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle restarts)

X sighed and shifted weapons. "Homing Arsenal!!" The missile began homing in on Mosquito, but he began flying around dodged it. "Hohoho! How can you hit what doesn't hold still?" Zero summoned T Breaker and reached back. "Easy."

Zero swung the warhammer like a bat and knocked Mosquito so hard into the wall that his wings shattered and his armor cracked. "Ugh… Ah!" Mosquito looked up and screamed as the missile impacted. Again, an electrical burst destroyed his body and he fell to the ground only to be replaced by the black robot, who again vanished.

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle fades out)

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate Stage resumes)

"That thing's starting to get on my nerves." The elevator reached its' destination as Megaman beamed down. "Dr. Light wanted me to help." Zero turned to him.

"Where were you?" Megaman smiled meekly. "Shopping." Zero raised an eyebrow as X turned to him. "I'm going to check in with Alia. I want to make sure that Gate's still here." Zero nodded as X beamed off. "Looks like its' just you and me, kid."

Zero and Megaman ran into the hallway, which had been flattened by something. "Geez, what happened here?" Zero looked around and summoned the Z Saber. "Maybe this was the explosion me and X heard?"

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate Stage fades out)

Warning! Warning!

Just then, the elevator behind them fell down a floor and the two turned around to face a massive tank that resembled Gutsman. Then, Gate's voice echoed throughout the building. "Not bad so far, Zero. But you'll have to make it past my toys first!"

(Gunstar Super Heroes (GBA) - Black Battle begins playing)

(A.N. I don't know where to get the tune itself, but there's a video of the battle with the music on YouTube.)

The ground began groaning as the tank began moving forward. It began spitting out Mettaurs as Megaman began cycling through his weapons, many of them doing nothing. "Frozen Tundra!!" The cold air began freezing the gears, but the attack didn't last long, so they began thawing.

"Watch out, kid. Frost Axis!!" The massive icy shockwave actually froze the gears for a second, but the tank began moving again seconds later. "These Mettaurs are really getting annoying. Wait a minute… Use Roulette Current!"

Megaman nodded and repeated the attack until the water current was used. "Frost Axis!!" This time, the treads stayed frozen, but the tank still spit out the Mettaurs. "The ground groaned and began cracking. "Something tells me that this floor isn't going to hold."

Zero and Megaman began running for the next elevator as the floor gave way and the Guts Tank fell in. The entire floor began crumbling, but Zero and Megaman dove onto the elevator just in time. "Whoo! That was close."

(A line is drawn from the base of the tower to the top of the tower.)

Ready

The elevator began moving up as Current Man dropped down onto it. His head was held inside a protective glass dome. Three large wires spiraled around his body and a generator was strapped to his back. His armor was mostly green, but parts of it were yellow. "I'm baaaaaaack!!"

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle restarts)

Zero used Tornado Drill just as Current Man used his water current. The attack hit the saber and Zero shifted from a horizontal attack to a vertical stream of water. It splashed everywhere and drenched the floor. "Frozen Tundra!!"

The ice froze Current Man and also Megaman's buster. "Great…" Zero summoned the T Breaker and shattered Current Man for the second time. Again the black robot appeared and vanished. "That thing's getting annoying."

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle fades out)

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate Stage begins playing)

X beamed in as Megaman looked at his buster. "I'd better go see Dr. Light about this. My buster's never been frozen before." Zero nodded and Megaman beamed off. "Gate's still here. Actually, he should be right above us now."

Zero nodded and they both began running down the hall. Just then, a massive pillar of flame appeared and Cinder Man materialized in the center of it. "Hohoho… And you'd be going where now?" Zero summoned Sigma Blade. "Through you if necessary."

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle restarts)

"Roulette Current!!" X unleashed the watery current, but when it came into contact with Cinder Man, it evaporated instantly. "Nice try, but it'll take more than that to douse my fire." Zero swung the Sigma Blade, but Cinder Man backflips and shot a small fiery pellet at Zero, knocking him back.

"Draining Fire!!" The draining beams shot through Cinder Man, but the fire attracted to it like a magnet. The beams then shot through Cinder Man again, igniting him. "Ha! You may be able to handle fire, but even your internal systems can't handle it!" The black robot appeared, then vanished for the fifth time.

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle fades out)

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate Stage resumes)

Zero and X ran down the hallway and entered the final elevator shaft. Coonite's doppelganger dropped down and stood erect. He had a brownish armor mixed with a little gray and a black streak going across his eyes.

"Well, this time, we actually know its' a doppelganger." X nodded and prepared for battle. "You hunters are so rude these days." The elevator started and Coonite drew his sword. "Someone should teach you some manners."

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle restarts)

"Neo Torpedo!" Coonite launched several dark slivers at the hunters and X began charging a shot. "Nightmare Spell!!" The entire area began distorting as X fired Stealth Shot. Again, the darkness was attracted to it like a magnet.

The darkness surrounded Coonite and he short-circuited. The black robot reappeared, but paused to catch his breath. "Who are you?" The black robot looked up, then vanished. "Great…"

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle fades out)

Warning! Warning!

The elevator stopped and both hunters ran into the computer room Wily was facing off with Gate. "Get out of my base! Now!" Wily launched a missile at Gate, who easily knocked it away. "I'm afraid that this geezer has gotten in my way. I'll leave him to you while I find… other means of hiding."

Gate beamed off as Wily growled. "You two… I'll get you two this time for sure!" Zero snorted. "I'm through with you, old man. I just wanted Gate." Wily laughed out loud. "I don't care what you want! I'm going to destroy the both of you and turn you into scrap metal!!"

(Megaman 8 (PSX) - Wily Machine begins playing)

(A.N. This tune is available on Atomic Fire.)

Wily began launching missiles as X charged a shot. Zero used his buster and blasted the missiles out of the air as X launched Homing Arsenal. The barrage devastated Wily's machine, but it reformed into a similar ship, but with less armor.

Now, energy shots were fired in every direction. Again, X charged Homing Arsenal as Zero shot down the missiles. "Homing Arsenal!!" The missiles exploded Wily's machine and he fell to the ground.

(Megaman 8 (PSX) - Wily Machine fades out)

(Megaman 8 (PSX) - Boss Beaten plays)

"Damn! That was faster than last time!" Wily jumped to his feet. "Silence, you! The only reason you won is because that fool wore my machine down!" Zero smirked. "Or it could be that you just suck at making robots."

Wily's face grew red. "What?!" Zero smirked. "Good luck rebuilding this place, Wily." Zero and X beamed off, leaving a cursing Wily behind. They said their good-byes to Dr. Light, then went through the time warp and beamed off to Central Tower.

"We found him, but he took off to somewhere in this time." Alia nodded and brought up a map. "He's here, in the Lake Jyun ruins on Kattelox Island."

X nodded and beamed off with Zero. "I haven't been here in so long…" X smirked as he remembered the 'good 'ol times'. "Come on. Gate's inside." X nodded and they both entered.

(Megaman 7 (SNES) - Wily Map plays)

(A line is drawn from the top of the tower, into the time warp, and straight into the ruins.)

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate Stage begins playing)

Ready

Right away, there was an elevator that took the hunters to a massive room. "Is there a leak in here somewhere?" X looked down and noticed that the floor was covered in water that was about ankle-high.

"The hell?" Just then, the nearby door broke open and more water was let in as well as Splash Dugong. "You again?" Dugong smirked and put a hand to his chin. "Nice of you to stop by, hunters. But, I'm afraid that this party's sunk!!"

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle restarts)

"Roulette Current!!" X launched an electrical current, but the attack simply passed through him. "Nice try, X!" X frowned, then used Exhaust Flame.

Due to Dugong being an ice-type, the attack was super effective and Dugong screamed as he burst into flames. The black robot appeared and fell to its' knees. It caught its' breath, then beamed off. "I'm starting to think something's up." Zero nodded. "Same here."

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle fades out)

(Megaman X6 (PSX) - Gate Stage resumes)

X and Zero traversed through the next room and found a door. "I don't remember this door…" X approached it and it opened. The two exchanged glances and entered. The two almost immediately fell into a massive room almost completely filled with water.

"I do remember this room though…" X got up and helped Zero up as well. "I hate underwater battles… And guess who's left…" Just then, Crunch Pirvanha drifted to the ground. "How nice of Dugong to personally deliver lunch for me…"

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle restarts)

"Roulette Current!!" The water current fired and, obviously, did nothing. Zero summoned T Breaker and knocked Pirvanha away by thrusting it forward. "Roulette Current!!" This time, the wind current fired, doing the same as the water one.

Again, Zero knocked Pirvanha away. "Power Cruncher!!" Pirvanha shot his jaw at Zero as X used a third Roulette Current. The electricity shot through the water and zapped everything in it, causing Zero's ponytail to frizz. Pirvanha's jaw exploded and he went belly-up before turning back into the black robot.

(Megaman: Powered Up (PSP) - Boss Battle fades out)

"Who are you?!" The robot laughed, then stood erect. "What's wrong, hunters? Don't you remember me?" The robot turned into Gate and the hunters gasped. "I decided to try out Axl's little ability for myself, so I disposed of the original Stealth Man, then stole his and the others data. Quite nifty, wasn't it?"

X and Zero exchanged looks. "You're history now, buddy. Impersonating Gate… Making Central Tower think he's a Maverick… You're just begging for a beating." Gate started. "I am Gate." Zero shook his head. "Gate doesn't have Axl's ability. You should learn to research those you copy."

The doppelganger growled, then vanished as the ruins began shaking. "The ruins are collapsing! Com on!" Zero nodded as they both scaled the wall. "Alia, this is X! The Gate we've been chasing is…" Alia cut him off. 'A doppelganger. We know. Repliforce just found him being held in the mines where you found Krillion before.'

(Megaman 5 (NES) - Darkman Stage begins playing)

The hunters quickly exited the building as it began to crumble. "There you are." The hunters turned to face the doppelganger. Just then, the Gesselchaft and Repliforce appeared over here. A few Draches were released and they flew to the nearby shore.

The real Gate stepped out and glared at his doppelganger. Storm Eagle, Colonel, and the Caskets also appeared. The doppelganger laughed as X asked who he was again. "I am Darkman, the shapeshifting Robot Master."

Zero growled. "One of the geezer's toys." Darkman snorted, then floated into the air. "Come now, Zero. I will show you Master Wily's true greatest creation!!"

(Megaman 5 (NES) - Boss Battle begins playing)

Zero summoned the T Breaker and created a soul energy copy of it. "Split Sabre!" Darkman flipped over the first swing, but the second hit him in the head, stunning him. He fell into the rapid succession of attacks. Zero then pulled him into the ground, pushed him up, and knocked him into the side of the ruins with the soul energy copy.

It vanished as Darkman shook his head. "Ya know, I'm starting to think that doppelgangers aren't all that they're cracked up to be. Speaking of cracking…" X used Terra Crush on the ground and, when the light faded, Darkman smirked. "A meaningless attack." Both X and Zero pointed up as the ruins collapsed and the roof crushed Darkman.

(Megaman 5 (NES) - Boss Battle begins playing)

(Megaman 8 (PSX) - Boss Beaten plays)

"Easy as pie." X shifted to the Shadow Armor and grabbed Zero's hand. "Hold on." Using the foot parts, he swiftly ran across the water and onto the island itself. "I applaud your efforts in a time of need." Gate smirked and X returned. "I'm just glad that it wasn't you."

Iris then, appeared from a fourth Drache. "Brother! Something called the Colossus just rose up from the sea a few seconds ago!" Colonel frowned and turned to Gate. "Sigma… Come on!"

Within minutes, the group was on the Sulpher Bottom. Apparently, shortly after Barrell died, Von Bleucher joined up with Repliforce. The group were conversing what had happened to Gate when they reached it.

The entire group made their way outside as the Colossus came into view. Teasel stared in awe, then turned to Tron. "Didn't we take this thing out before?" Servbot #27 pulled on Teasel's leg. "Actually, I beat it." Teasel thought back. "Oh, yeah! Now I remember."

Warning! Warning!

Sigma's laugh echoed across the ship's exterior as Sigma beamed into view. "Figured it was you." Sigma smirked. "What's wrong? Didn't you like my little invention?" X started. "Your invention? Sigma laughed and drew a saber. "How or why I did it doesn't matter. It's time to cut the small talk and get to business!" Axl ran forward and drew his guns. "Bring it on!"

Sigma smirked and leapt to the Colossus. "Geez… How'd he pull that off?" X got a running start and made a leap for it. When he was about to miss, he double-jumped and landed on the Colossus as well. He ran up to its' head and laughed.

The energy pylons that ran it appeared and the Colossus activated. "There's a city only a mile from here. You'd best hurry if you plan to save their lives." X growled and drew the sword from his back. "Bring it on…"

(The Misadventures of Tron Bonne (PSX) - Colossus Arena begins playing)

(A.N. This tune is on Atomic Fire.)

Sigma dashed forward and swung the saber, an attack X easily dodged. "Frozen Tundra!" Sigma was unaffected by the attack and Sigma swung the saber again, knocking X down to the lower level. X jumped to his feet and focused his energy. "Kage Slash!"

When the darkness faded, X sheathed his sword and all of the energy pylons shattered into pieces. Sigma's arms were also cut off. He grabbed the saber and held it with his other.

Sigma chuckled as the Colossus powered down. "So what? You've stopped my tinker toy. However, you might not know this, but I made my own changes to this thing."

X snorted. "Don't believe me? Then watch this!" Sigma vanished in a flash of light and the Colossus began transforming. Its' busters were replaced with hands with huge spikes on the knuckles. The body itself shifted around and the Colossus' head was replaced with a giant replica of Sigma's head.

"My power is absolute! There is no force on this planet that can match me now!!" X ran up as the giant Sigma head turned to him. "Wrong! There's me!!"

Sigma laughed wildly. "Fool! I've absorbed the power of the Colossus. There is nothing you can do anymore." The platform shook as Sigma took a giant step forward. "Maybe that's what you think, but I will stop you again, Sigma!!"

Sigma continued laughing as his head levitated into the air. "Such foolishness. I live so that you can die. That is my only purpose. Now, die!!" The head smashed down and created a shockwave that sent X flying off of the platform and hurtling to the ocean below.

X swiftly sheathed his sword and grabbed the edge of the Colossus. "Hahaha! You're a fool to think that you can beat me! And now, I'll crush you pathetic hunters once and for all!!"

(The Misadventures of Tron Bonne (PSX) - Final Boss begins playing)

(A.N. This tune is on Atomic Fire.)

X began running along the side of the Colossus as Sigma fired a laser from his eyes. It traveled along the edge as X swung his feet around the corner and continued running down the side of it. When the laser stopped, he got to a corner and flipped himself onto the lower part of Sigma's Kaiser Body.

The spikes on Sigma's knuckles launched like missiles, so X quickly ran up the wall and up to Sigma's head, which turned towards him. His visor quickly showed him the strongest weapon to use and he began charging it. Sigma's head bounced again, but X jumped over the shockwave. "Draining Fire!!"

The beams of energy shot into Sigma's head, gathered energy, then shot through Sigma's forehead, causing the entire body to stop. "Agh! Damn Hunter!" The visor suddenly shifted data and, as Sigma launched massive eye lasers at him, X rolled away and began charging it.

The lasers created a wave that went along the lower edge, so X jumped onto the higher edge and dodged the eye lasers. "Nightmare Spell!!" X distorted and dashed through Sigma's head, causing several explosions to ring out.

"I have the power of the Colossus! I am all-powerful!!" The data in the visor changed again and X bean charging that weapon. A massive blast knocked X off again, but he grabbed the bottom edge and began to run upside down on the Kaiser Body's underside.

He grabbed the next two edges and flipped himself right-side up before jumping onto the main platform again. "Exhaust Flame!!" The horizontal cloud of flame engulfed Sigma's head and it exploded. "Fools! I am eternal! As long as you exist, I will not die!!"

(The Misadventures of Tron Bonne (PSX) - Final Boss fades out)

A Drache was released and X jumped up and grabbed the handle on the bottom of it. As they flew back to the Sulpher Bottom, Sigma's Kaiser Body exploded, causing its' upper legs to give way and fall into the lower leg, destroy the whole leg altogether.

The arms fell off, then the body itself fell into the water and sank to the floor as the remaining piece, Sigma's head, exploded. All this combined created a large wave that headed for the Ryship Harbor. "So much for the crab meat this year."

(Megaman 8 (PSX) - Boss Beaten plays)

Once back on the ship, Roll immediately embraced him. "Oh my God! That was so awesome! I need to know how Middy made this!" She gasped as an idea came to her. "I can remake your armors!!" X raised an eyebrow. "Um… I'm…" Roll ran off and into the ship before he could finish.

"Do you think he's finished now." Axl walked up as Zero frowned. "It's most unlikely. He'll be back. I know it." X stood in his spot and watched as the spot where the Kaiser Body stood, disappeared from view.

Back at Central Tower, Heather, now almost seventeen, was working on blueprints for the next Reploid in the series of highly-evolved Reploids, the first being Coonite.

"We've received a transmission from the Mother Units. They're ready to fire." Gate nodded. "I'll give them the signal in a few minutes. First, I'd like to thank you all for destroying Darkman. Who knows what would've happened if this had gone public." Dynamo snorted. "I'm surprised that it didn't to be truly honest."

Just then, Coonite walked in. "Sigma's days are through for now, but he'll be back. Just as Zero predicted." Coonite sat down as X approached him. "I've been wondering. Is there anyway to actually change the past? I mean, is there really a threat from the Robot Masters?" Coonite shook his head.

"The only thing that can change is the future. No matter what we do, the past will never change. What's happened, whatever it may be, is already a part of history. For weeks now, I've gone back to the same scene in the future, the same fives minutes of what's to come. And every day, even in the slightest, that scene has changed."

Coonite stood up and turned to the door. "Dr. Cain was to die within the week and he knew. He ordered me to show him what was to come and the future brought death upon him much quicker." Coonite opened the door and took a step out. "Enjoy your current days, hunters. They will be the simplest you'll ever have."

Coonite left without another word and traveled back to his own room. "A world parallel to our own. I must investigate this further." He hooked himself up to a power charger, then closed his eyes. Just as Coonite opened his eyes and began the vision, Gate gave the signal to fire. "Alright, Damien. Let's see what kind of hell you've put up with…"


The End… For Now…

Precisely. I'm taking a break from the Excel series and I'm going to start the second series in the Megaman Tribute Saga, the External series. These fics will follow the trials and tribulations of Damien, the mysterious Irregular Hunter seen in Coonite's visions.

It takes place around the same time as the Excel series and I'm also going to make this somewhat similar to the Excel series fics. But, until then, Read and Review and I'll keep going!!
