Chapter 120: Lighting up the Link to the Truth, the Day of Zero!

Last time in Tales of the Cosmic Wars with all of the distractions out of the way and Ben's star sword completed are hero's at last with a united front storms the ultimate Skull Castle of Doctor Wily in order to prevent his master plan from lifting off the ground! After fighting through a storm of traps and a army of revived robots, they made progress only to encounter even more robots! Wily made copies of so many former Mavericks and other evil machines that Cless, Shing, Cyan, and the others had to let Ben X and co go ahead while they stayed behind to keep their pressures busy! And while splitting up was always risky, the Enji knew time was not on their side and moved forward. After going down a path not on the map so to speak they found up in a odd room only guarded by easily intimated Serv-bots. It seems Ben's party had landed in a room that Wily used for his leisure, and it was a room full of statues that Wily had built to reminded him of both his glory and his mistakes. However, what shocked the good guys the most, and really shock X's mind, when he and the others saw statues of what appeared to be X's brothers, the original Megaman and Protoman! However, before are hero's could ponder much why they were in Wily 's lair, they were suddenly under fire from a angry Bass!

The bloody thirsty rival of the original Megaman wanted to finish the fight that he started at the Arcadia National Robotics Museum, and this time not even Wily would interfere with his desire to prove he was better than Zero! Bass fought even more viciously, even going as far as to blast apart his reinforcements to scrap for standing in his way of proving his supposedly ultimate superiority! However, Bass's fury in fact causes an unexpected miracle to happen! When Bass blasted X in to what he thought was the statue of his predecessor him touching him, along with a reaction from the Star Sword, shocked hero's and villains alike when Megaman and Protoman awoken what from seemed like a two hundred year slumber good as new! Bass nearly blew a circuit seeing his old foe back in top form, and at once unleashed his outrage to try and quickly turn him back in to a forgotten memory! However, while at first it seemed the two old robots were far to outdated to make a difference now, they shocked there obsessed foe by unleashing new upgrades their bodies seemed to have implemented while they were going through there long term repairs! And with the additional fire power of Hyper Megaman and Azure Protoman Bass's furious attack was forcibly extinguished! However, while severely damaged the mad robot got away before the final blow could be struck. However that was ok, X was just trying to figure out how what he witness just happened!

However, before Ben and the others could try and come to any conclusions that involved traps, there answer appeared when to everyone's shock, a giant blue capsule appeared in the middle of the room! But what tipped off the hour of surprises was that inside it was none other than the hologram of Doctor Wily's internal enemy, and the creator of Megaman, Protoman, and X, Doctor Light himself! While in the past X had ran in to his capsules in hostile territory, even in the base of Sigma, this was the first time Light acknowledged that he was more than just a series of prerecorded messages, and had much to tell both his creations and the Enji! It looks like at last the good guys are going to have the light shined on some of the things that have been bugging them for quite a while to say the least, for X it will be something he has wondered for more then what normal humans live! Will uncovering the truth, and having two more allies help the good guys save the day? Will this be a link to saving Zero from the fate his creator forced on to him? There is only one way to find out, so it's time to get this mega action packed chapter started. Battle routine set, and execute!

Today's chapter begins with another person digesting the amount of shocking revelations just unfolding, Doctor Wily himself!

Despite two of the beings that caused him the most stress being in his own lair for so many years, it seems he really had no idea, and in fact when one of his monitors alerted him of the appearance of Doctor Light he thought it was malfunctioning! However, when he sees with his own eyes not only the real Megaman conversing with Ben and X, but them all looking at his loather fellow scientist, this shocks him enough to pause his work on Omega! As he has his hidden camera in the room zoon in on the capsule containing Doctor Light's hologram he strokes his mustache and has his eye tick as he says," What is this farce? The same capsules that have given Megaman X his various armor parts, was in my own castle? Impossible! The way it seems to have appeared, it was like it was designed in to my very systems to appear! But, that could only mean, he had access to my computer network? Impossible, all of this is up surd! Huh, what is this!?"

All of a sudden another screen appears to his side, showing a warning sigh! Wily then quickly reads that a hidden program was detected in his systems as he says," What! What is this? Could this be? Ah, I see, now everything makes sense! Heheh, HAHAHAAHAH! Light, not only were you a clever rival, but I have to admit you're the only man who knew how I truly thought! Yes, I give you credit. Even after all of this time, I was not sure if your mind was still among this world. But it would seem, that you spent all this time preparing to stop me. Ha, well, nice try, but even if you hid yourself in my own network, you still don't have what it takes to stop my master plan! I thought through every opposition to my day of victory, and not even you can stop me! Yes, it matters not if a upgraded Megaman and Protoman are now on the list of those rushing to try and deny me what is mine, ill shatter them all at once! In fact, I am glad you're still around, I want to see your reaction when I utterly crush you your creations and everything you have fought for once and for all!"

He then glazes at Omega once more, who is beginning to have massive amounts of energy coming out of it. And as his doomsday creation roars again and the energy covers the room Wily laughs madly and says,"Yes, none of these idiots struggles will change a thing! It's almost time, the time when the entire cosmos feels the wrath of the ultimate perfection of destruction under the command of the supreme genius ! HAHAHAHAA!"

With this Wily once more goes back to finalizing his programs. However, since watching anyone typing for very long is not exactly exciting, how about let's check back on the good guys eh? After all, we have quite a bombshell to look in to! We now turn back to where the last chapter left off, with Doctor Light shocking everyone by appearing before them and showing he still was alive and able to communicate with the outside world! And now we return to Ben blinking a lot at the hologram of the old jolly man before he leans closer and says,

" All right, let me see if I have everything right. Not only are the long thought deceased original Megaman and his brother the first modern robot master prototype Protoman still alive and before my eyes with upgrades, but there and X's here creator is still alive to, even though it's been around two centuries since people thought he died?"

The image of Light smiles and says," I know it's a hard fact to digest Ben Auro, even after all you and your fellow Enji have seen and been through."

X still looks shocked as he says," I am having a hard time taking this all in to professor. Don't get me wrong, I am happy that both you and my two brothers are still alive. However, I just, don't understand why it had to be found out in this way. Have you been like this the hole time? Why did you never contact me?"

Light looks sad again and says," I understand why your upset X, I want you to understand I did not hide the true extent of my awareness to you because I wanted to, I did it out of necessity. I wanted to, many times. But, if I did, both Sigma and Wily would be aware of me."

Megaman then looks confused and says," But, I don't understand Doctor Light, why are you in a hologram?"

Protoman just sighs and says,"You expect an old man to make his way through one of Wily's castles? Come on Megaman I know you just woke up but what little common sense you have!"

Light chuckles and says,"I suppose your right Protoman. Still, I do have a lot of explaining to give to all of you."

Cloud then sighs and says," I understand. But, with no disrespect, do you understand the situation we are in Doctor Light?

" The very old man turns to the spiky haired swordsmen and nods before he says," Believe me Captain Cloud Strife; I am well aware of the situation. Never the less, I still think it is of most importance that all of you learn the truth behind everything that started this conflict. Don't worry, based on my own projections I believe there is still enough time to stop Wily and spare Zero and Axl from being his pawns." Megaman looks confused as he says," Doctor Light, why do you want to save Zero? He was the reason you were so badly hurt before! It's because of him that Roll, and Duo, and everyone was killed!"

X looks defensive as he says,"

You don't understand! I won't deny Zero was a threat to the world at one point, nor will I condone what he did to you and your friends. But, Zero has changed since then!"

Protoman gets angry as he says,"So now you're telling me he is a god of destruction with manners now? That blond haired maniac was so much of a lunatic even Wily could barely get him to obey! And you think such a threat should be allowed to be free, let alone exist?"

Before they can go at each others throats Ben at once gets between them and laughs nervously as he says,"Come on guys, there is no need to be like this. This is just a serious degree of miscommunication between brothers."

Lacus nods and says,"I am sure once Doctor Light explains everything things will be more clear."

Light nods and responds with a weary," She is correct. Everyone, its time I fill both the gaps. While I cannot explain everything, I can make the situation we are in more clear. Megaman and Protoman, it's time to know what has happened since you were awake. X its time you know why you were truly created in the first place. To make things easier, I will now show you a recreation of what happened when Zero appeared before us those many years ago based on the memories of Megaman Protoman and myself. It's not one hundred percept accurate but it does have all the major details shown."

This causes James to raise an eyebrow as he says," A recreation? How, a recording? Huh?"

He then sees the light on top of Light's capsule beginning to glow as it grows bigger before Light chuckles and says," Not quite, more like, a visual download. I believe the technology resembles the Encephalon systems that are all the rage these days. All right everyone, let us begin. Megaman, Protoman, I know seeing this again will be difficult. But, everyone must know what really happened."

Megaman just looks glum as he says,"I understand Doctor Light."

With this the whole room instantly flashes with light, and as everyone is blinded by it Hiryuumon gets nervous as he says,"Er, this is safe right guys? Whoa!"

Soon he and the others are shocked that they seem to be out of the Skull Castle and above the planet, in fact they seem in a entirely new area! In fact when Ben can see again he sees the others are floating in the sky next to him! As Ben sees Light besides him the old doctor at once turns to Ben and says," What you see before your eyes is what the city of Corneria looked like over two hundred years ago. And this area is, or was my home estate."

James is shocked as he sees a city in the distance that's formation reminds him of Neo Arcadia, but a lot of the buildings are of a different build. James then says,"Impressive, this really is the city two hundred years ago."

Lacus looks impressed as she realizes she is seeing her home planet in the year of 200x, or more like , I never gave a date for this series did I?

Lets um, just call it year 4300 LD, Lol.

Any who, everyone then sees that Light is flying towards what appears to be a small but sophisticated looking blue and white house with a blue picket fence surrounding it and a root cellar. As the Enji and X try and figure out what it is Megaman at once looks excited as he says,"This is home! No wait, but that would mean."

Protoman nods as even through his shades he looks grim as he says," Yes, this is the day Zero appeared. Damn it, it feels like it was just yesterday. Then again, to us it kind of was just yesterday."

Light nods and says,"Protoman is correct, the fallowing events are when Zero made his debut, to the world. "

Soon everyone sees two people appear out of the houses door. One of them looks like Megaman, however, his helmet is off and his brown hair can be seen so this is who he was before he turns in to a combat form, Rock. Besides him is a girl with blond hair in a pony tail and wearing a black and red dress. She is slightly shorter then Rock, and was created by Doctor Light to help him around the house and with his experiments. She is Roll! The hero's see the two laughing and Roll appears to be holding a list as he says,"

Ah, what a gorgeous day! It's been raining for a week, but this is the perfect day to get some shopping done!"

Rock just sighs as he says," Still, I wish Doctor Light did not leave such a large list, it's going to take us all day to get the stuff he has on!"

Roll just giggles and says," Don't complain, Doctor Light had to make a request from the government to get some of the machines he wants us to get approved! This is more than just getting the groceries. All though, that's on the list to. Why are you complaining anyway? You're not doing anything else today!"

Rock just sighs and says,"I know, it's just. Things have been nearly to calm these days, it makes me nervous. But still, this will get that feeling off my mind. All right, ready to go? Come on Rush!" With this there reliable canine runs out and barks before he transforms in to his jet like form! As Rock and Roll jump on Rock grins and says," All right, let's go before it gets hot! Ready Rush? Then it's time to," Just as Rock was going to take a dramatic pose to get his pal going all of a sudden a new voice yells out loudly," WAIT!"

This startles the two and Rock falls of his ride! However, after a moment of worry it fades when they see the voice comes from the emerging past Doctor Light, in the flesh! The past doctor looks like he was in a hurry as he is panting before he stops behind them and says,"Wait just a moment you two, it seems I forgot something important on the list."

Rock gets his face off the ground as he spits out a pebble and says,"Like what Doctor? How much more high tech machines do you need for your new experiment?"

Light just takes out a napkin and wipes off the sweet as he says," Oh no I listed all of that. What I forgot to add was the chocolate chip cookie dough. After tonight's work the first phase of the experiment should be done. And that is why I want all the necessary ingredients for a complete dinner party afterword's. Plus I want to see if my taste bud upgrades for you two worked successfully."

Rock chuckles as he says,"Your always working on something eh doc? What is this new thing you have been working on any way? You have been keeping more quit then usual on it."

Light just wags his finger and says,"Now then, just be a little more patience's and you will soon find out. "

Rock then gets excited as he says,"I know! It's a new upgrade for me or something? Did you figure out a way for me to combined with Beat now? Or Auto?"

Roll just rolls her eyes as she says,"I don't think there would be any point merging with Auto, and Beat is too small. Besides you can fly when you combined with Rush anyway! You don't need any more improvements anyway to your weapons Megaman, Wily has been so quite now that I think he might just have either given up or died of a stroke from losing to you all of these times!"

Light chuckles and says,"Ah, well, who knows what Wily is ever thinking. However, after his plan to frame me and con by own robots to rebel for fear of being decommissioned ended in another defeat for him, maybe he has at last realized his dreams of world domination will never be anything but a fools dream. Or maybe he just as realized that he can't create a weapon strong enough to gain him victory.

In any case, let us enjoy this time of peace before it ends. I'll give you a hint though, while what I am working on is not related to you Rock, it is something that will change the way the entire world, no the entire galactic alliance of planets works if it's a success. I want to push for the next step, in how robots are integrated in to are life's."

His listeners are confused as Rock responds with a curious,"What do you mean by that?"

Light just pats Rock on the head as he responds with a distant," It's hard for me to explain. But for now let's say I am working on something that will make my dreams of robots and humans living together in true harmony on day become a reality." Rock looks confident as he says," Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to make that dream become a reality! Huh, what is this?"

In the middle of his speech a new voice interrupted it with a sudden burst of laughter as it says," Hahaha, man, all this time and your still nothing more than a pathetic idiot! Didn't anyone ever tell you that you can't build a new world on dreams?" Everyone snaps to attention as Rock says," What the, who said that!?"

Roll steps back as she responds tensely with," Oh no, Rock its Bass!"

Rock and Light then turn around and see that standing on a large rock is his most persistent opponent with Treble growling right behind him! At once Bass jumps of the rock and looks smug as he says,"What's wrong Megaman? Shocked to see me? Thought I just went away? HAha, no such luck! I was just getting a check up from the old man. While normally talking to him is a pain, for one he was useful, I got a few upgrades that I have been itching to test on you!"

Light looks annoyed as he says,"So Wily is still up to his antics is he? Sigh, how sad that he just won't change."

Bass rolls his eyes as he says,"You think that's bad, try listing to it on a constant basis! Bah, the old man's got on my last nerves. He is blind to how useless he is! That's why I am sick of playing by his program."

Rock eyes Bass with suspicion as he says,"What are you saying Bass? Does this mean, you're not here to fight?"

Bass just chuckles as he says,"Well, not right away. Let's just say I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I realized being even loosely loyal to a loser like Wily is dragging me down. That's why I think ill jump ship before its all ready sunk."

Rock looks at the robot with shock as he blurts out," Your saying you want to switch sides? But, since day one all you wanted to do is to defeat me!"

Bass nods and responds with a eager," Still do Mega wimp! However, I realized a while back that there are advantages to not killing you. If I play nice, I can smash you around again and again!"

Roll looks distressed as she says," That's not exactly a good reason."

Rock smiles and reacts with a happy," Still, I rather have you as a aggressive ally then as a enemy! "

Light then eyes Bass as he says,"Forgive my cautions Bass, but what assurances do we have your not just putting up a show? I still remember the last time you wore two faces."

Bass looks sly as he retorts with a sharp,"Ah, I see your not senile yet eh Light? Well, not that I blame you guys for having your doubts. But, I'll make it easy for yah!"

He then takes out a pair of restrainer cuffs, and locks his own hands! He then says," Just to show my truthfulness to my offer, I'll let you analyzed me in the lab."

Light then looks amused as he reacts with a keen," Well, if you're willing to restrain yourself I suppose this is more than Wily pulling a bad joke. All right, let's bring him in and then we can discuss were we can go from there."

Bass just grins as he says," Good choice, I promise you won't regret it."

Rock looks excited as he says," I knew after enough time you would see the error of your ways Bass!"

Bass just narrows his eyes as he walks forward and says,"Oh that's for sure, this time there won't be no, GUH!"

Just as Bass was going to walk in to the lab he is blasted at his sides by a yellow energy ball the size of him! As Treble barks with rage Rock looks shocked as he says," Oh no, I guess the anti defense systems reacted to strongly! "

Light then looks around and says,"No, that came from, huh?" His speech is interrupted by a familiar tune from the whistle! Sure enough Rock looks around, and sees his brother standing coolly on his roof! As his scarf blows in the wind Rock then says," Protoman! Why did you blast Bass? He was locking himself up so he can prove he wants to join us!"

Protoman sighs as he says," Your still far too naïve Megaman! You were walking right in to a trap!"

Bass gets up from the rock he was blasted in to and shatters it with a kick before he chuckles and says,"What's wrong Protoman, blue that you're going to be replaced? "

Protoman just aims his buster as he says,"You wish Bass. The others may have been bought by what you had to sell, but not me! "

Light then says,"What are you talking about Protoman? "

Protoman then dashes at Bass as he says,"Why do you think he was so willing to cuff himself and be checked? It's where he can unleash the most damage at once!" Bass then laughs as he uses his boosters on his legs to dash in to the air as he says,"

Man Protoman, your acting rather crazy, maybe your malfunctioning?"

Protoman then gets right in front of Bass and copy's the power of Metal Man to summon a Metal Blade and slashes the energy cuffs before he kicks Bass in the chest and grabs them! He then puts the cuffs in to his cannon as he says," More like the only one who caught on and sensed the energy coming from your toy! I won't let you win so easily!"

With this he shoots the cuffs in to the air with his arm cannon and fires it in to the air, and everyone is shocked that a moment later they explode with such force that a massive shockwave rips the ground and blows some of the trees right in to the air! A shocked Light then says," What? That was, a very high powered explosive!"

Rock then adds a horrified," Bass, you tried to destroy us all with as low a plan as this?"

Bass just laughs again as he reacts with a spiteful," Well, it was worth a shot, but it seems your brother makes up for you being an idiot! Ah, it would have been nice to cause you to die by your own stupidity! But, to be honest, I kind of had a craving to kill you the old fashion way anyway! "

Protoman just jumps to be alongside his brother as he says,"You really are a one trick pony Bass! Seriously, do you think of anything besides how to smash Megaman?"

Bass just cracks his neck as he snaps back with,"Yah, to smash anyone else who thinks they are more powerful than me! Don't blame me, after all I was created to destroy you, and that's what I am going to do once and for all!"

Rock sighs, before he says," Bass, you really just can't think of anything else then fighting? I pity you, but I can't let you get away with this! "

With this he has his eyes glow before his helmet forms on his head and he gets ready to rumble! Bass just responds by unleashing a taunting gesture as he says,"

Try if you can, you're not going to beat me, not this time!"

Protoman just charges his buster as he says," What makes you think this fight will go any different than the others, especially since I am in on it?"

Bass wags his finger as he says," My past defeats to you junk bots were due to careless mistakes, and luck! But today is the day your luck has ran out! Megaman, we settle things here and now! Let's finish them forever Treble!"

With this Bass and Treble combine again and once more in a few seconds he is hovering above his opponents looking manic as he says,"Hope your happy with your life's, because this is where it ends!" He then fires a barrage of laser blasts from his buster before Protoman gets in front of Doctor Light and protects him and Roll with his Proto-Shield before he returns fire and says,"

I am in fact happy with my life, which is why I don't plan on having it end by you!"

He and Megaman return fire, but Bass shows off his new upgrade by flying through all the shots before he charges up his energy in his buster as he says,"

Please, you idiots could not hit the brawn side of a rhino with that aim! Watch a true marksmen you weaklings!" With this he fires a powerful purple blast that carves up the ground and causes an explosion! After Megaman was just able to get Roll and Doctor Light out of the way he sees the flames raging on where he once stood and looks angry as he says,"

Enough Bass! This violence will solve nothing! Astro Crush!"

Megaman uses one of his many aired powers to cause a barrage of small red energy meteors to rain down on Bass! However his foe just looks excited as he says," What are you joking? This violence will solve who is worthy of being the strongest robot around once and for all!"

With this he dashes back in the air and fires a barrage of energy blasts to counter Megaman 's attacks! As explosions rock the air Megaman looks annoyed as he says,"When will you understand Bass? Pure raw power is not the single rule of life! I'll make you understand once and for all! Come on Rush, let's do this together!"

With this the red colored canine gives off a willful bark before he jumps in the air and transforms in to a suit of armor! Megaman at once jumps in to Rush in his armor adapter form, and they then quickly combined as Megaman takes a red color looking much more well armed!

Bass then snickers as he says," Don't think merging with your dumb pet will close the difference this time! With all of the upgrades I went through, I am stronger and faster than you two combined!"

With this he fires his fist like a rocket at Protoman with such speed the metal hero can't even move and while he blocks with his shield, the fist to his shock explodes, causing him to be slammed in to Light's wall! As he lands with a thud Bass laughs as a new hand appears and he says,"That was not even full power! Prepare to die Megaman!"

He fires another rocket punch at Megaman but Megaman uses the thrusters of his armor to avoid the blast and as he jets to his opponent he says,"Bass, you just don't get it! There is more to winning then raw power alone!"

With this he uses another stolen Robot Master weapon to set up the jewel shield to protect himself. However Bass snickers as he says,"Bah, your useless defenses won't stop me!"

The hateful robot then rapid fires with his buster like a machine gun to at once blast through his opponent's defenses before he wind backs his fist and says," Its time I smash that idiot face of yours up once and for all Megaman!"

With this he fires another rocket punch at Megaman, however he is shocked to see the blue bomber is ready for him as he changes color and says," Time you have a taste of your own medicine Bass! Top Spin!"

The Blue Bomber shocks his rival by quickly spinning fast like a top, with such speed that he catches the rocket punch, and redirects the fist in to its senders stomach! As Bass screams in pain he says," RAH! How could, that idiot make me get hurt from my own attack! Huh, no!"

He then sees Megaman is thrusting right at him as his own fist is glowing before he says,"Abusing your own power will insure you never win Bass! I am going to smack some sense in to you!"

With this he fires his own rocket punch attack at Bass right at his face! Being shot at point blank range does not give the fight loving robot much time to dodge as he says,"Damn you, you puny little, GUH!"

Bass is hit dead on and is set hurling to the ground! He stabilizes himself just in time just before he hits the ground and turns back to glare at Megaman before he screams out,"You're so, DEAD! I won't be defeated again by you Mega punk! What the, no!"

He hears a charging sound and turns to the left to see Protoman is not only back on his feet, but his buster is armed and fully charged before he says,"Takes a punk to know a punk, punk! Bass, you're never going to be sastfied so I think I'll just put you out of your misery! Big Bang Shot!"

With this Protoman unleashes his most powerful blast and Bass at once goes to smash back the massive ball of yellow energy heading for him! However, he underestimate how powerful Megaman 's brothers blast was, and while he tries to bat it back, it overwhelms him and causes a large explosion! When the smoke clears Bass is holding his arm, and goes to move before an explosion breaks out of his leg! As he holds it tight he glares at Protoman and says," Damn it, it's not over yet!" Megaman just lands besides his brother and says," Give it up Bass, just surrender! "

Bass looks mad as he says," Surrender to you? Never! I won't ever stop!"

Protoman gives off an annoyed grunt and says,"Enough Megaman, today proved he will never be able to listen to reason. I am sorry but for once just finish him off!"

Megaman looks distract as he responds with a regretful," Does it really have to come to this? Even someone like Bass deserves a second chance."

Bass just looks manic as he says," Think I need your mercy Megaman!? Your softness will be your downfall, just you wait! He who hesitates is lost, and if you give me a moment of hesitation, I will destroy you!"

He then ascends back in to the air and says," I still am not done; I'll blow you all away!"

Megaman sighs and says," I guess we really have to finish this or it will never stop. I am sorry I can't save you Bass, but this cycle must end. Now Protoman!"

With this they nod and go to charge at Bass, however, there charge is interrupted by a red laser beam! The brothers at once stop to avoid being vaporized as they see the red energy beam leave a large trail of destruction in its path before another evil laugh that they are use to breaks out before a voice says,"Your right Megaman, this cycle must end, and today is where it ends once and for all!"

Bass greets his teeth and roars out a frantic," No, not yet Wily, I can still win this!"

All of a sudden Megaman looks to the upper left, and to his dread he sees none other than Doctor Wily standing on his trademark saucer craft armed in one of its skull battle formations! Winking his eyebrows in his usual manner Wily turns to Bass and says," Enough Bass, your performance is too pathetic to bear! You did your role as the warm up, now let the rest unfold!"

Megaman at once frowns as he says,"Doctor Wily! You're up to your tricks again? "

Protoman sighs and says," Déjà vu, man you should have finished him off when you had the chance. But no, you just had to be gullible enough to think that painfully obvious Doctor Light impersonator decoy was the real deal huh? Seriously, I told you that showing mercy on him just because he got sick from his own stupid Roboenza virus! "

Megaman laughs nervously as he reacts with a carefree," Oh come on Proto, I had to be sure no matter what! And, I thought that if Wily felt that kind of pain he would reform. Guess it did not really work out so well."

Light sighs, sees the intense look in his long time nemesis and mutters," Wily, you just won't learn it would seem. No matter how many of your plans fail you are truly stubborn. I don't know what master plan or ultimate weapon you have cooked up for today but prepare to see it come crashing down once more! "

Wily wags his finger as he chuckles evilly and as his machine descend closer he says,"Not this time Light! Don't make the mistake of assuming this will just be another run through of the usual routine we have been going through these last few years! This is the day I prove I am superior to a second rate hack like you and Doctor Cossack! Have you enjoyed the peace you have had everyone?

Hope you did, because it will be the last peace you ever had in this world! The reason you have heard from me in a while is because I have decided to focus everything on my ultimate creation! And now it's time the world witnesses its wrath! King, Sunstar, and all the others were just jokes compared to this! Megaman, Light, let me introduce you to your executor! It's time now, introduced yourself, Zero!"

With this the evil doctor snaps his fingers, and for a few seconds nothing happens. However, all of a sudden the ground begins to shake as Megaman says," What is going on? What is Wily doing? Huh, whoa!"

All of a sudden the ground beneath them glows red, before a massive pillar of red energy bursts up in to the sky! When Megaman and the others can see again, they see someone emerging from the pillar, and its none other than Zero! Zero at once looks deadly calm as he is floating in the air surrounding with a blood red aura!

(Mind you this is Zero as he was in his X one design with the round shoulders since he did not get the shoulder pads and the beam saber till he was rebuilt in X2.)

Any who, Megaman sees Zero glaring at him and steps back from this and says,"What is this guy? His look, its pure evil!"

Protoman just stands his ground despite the wind being blown his way as he says,"This guy, there is no doubt despite his normal size he looks more impressive than anything Wily has ever put together!"

Zero just floats closer to the two as he says," So, theses two are the ones that would be my opponents? Beings of such lackluster power, only are worthy of being a warm up!"

Light just looks at Zero and says,"Wily, what have you done!?"

Wily laughs madly as he says," Hahahaha, HAHAAHAHA! Witness the messiah of the new world order! I introduce to you, my ruthless perfect god of destruction, Zero!"

As Zero unleashes another surge of power that blows back his opponents Bass gets furious and turns to Wily as he says,"Are you freaking kidding me old man? The girly haired robot is your master piece!? Please, I am way better then that thing! "

Wily turns to his rebellious creation as he says,"

Watch your tong Bass! In case you forgotten you were made purely by accident from my desire to create a robot with Megaman 's powers and my research of the formally most powerful energy source on this world, Bassnium! However, for Zero I went all out, and combined all the powers and skills I learned from you, King, Sunstar and the evil energy! And Zero is the outcome, a being who's power exceeds all other robots on the planet! Bass, if you desire to still function don't bother getting in Zero's way! The difference between him and you is as clear as day! "

Bass just looks defiant as he says,"Shut up old man! I showed you how wrong you were for thinking you could have King replace me, and I'll show you're wrong again! This freak needs to learn his flashy tricks don't impress me!"

Bass promptly bursts at Zero, and blasts him from behind with a rapid barrage of blaster shots! However, they all just bounce off the long blond robot like they were balloons! Zero does not even turn to Bass as he says,"

You act like I care what a reject thinks. Don't waste my time!"

Bass then gets furious and charges at him as he says," Shut up! Stop acting like your all that and take me seriously!"

The spiteful robot then kicks Zero right in the neck, but his opponent does not even respond as he says,"Why should I take this seriously? This is just the warm up after all! However, you're both weak and a loudmouth. Therefore, you're not worth my time! Get lost!"

In an instant Zero grabs Bass's hand before he lifts the shocked rival right in to the air, and crush his hand like its nothing! He then at once hurls Bass in to the air and in an instant appears above him before he slams him with his own fist with such force that Bass is sent flying! As Megaman hears one more mortified yell from Bass before he looks tense and says," Zero, he really is powerful if he could treat Bass like that! "

Protoman just sighs before he says," I would hate to see this guy angry. Megaman, this will take everything we have to win! "

Zero just descends as he says,"Please, the combined powers of you two are nothing to me. I can't believe the doctor has had such trouble destroying such rubbish. "

Megaman then looks determined as the Rush Adapter armor's thrusts go off and he charges at Zero as he says,"Maybe this will show you why! Don't think you can brush us aside Zero! "

With this he fires another rocket punch at Zero, but his new opponent just moves his head out of the way to avoid it as he forms a sinister grin as he says," Oh I won't brush you aside, ill rip you apart! "

In a flash Zero appears behind Megaman and backhands him in the face! Slamming him in to the ground in the process! Zero then forms his hand in to his own buster as he say," Mega trash, no matter how hard you try you will never be a worthy opponent for me to kill! Just looking at you annoys me, get out of my sight!"

The blond haired robot fires a powerful charged buster shot at Megaman, however before it can hit Protoman intercepts it with his Big Bang Blast attack, causing the blasts to go off in the distance and cause another explosion! Protoman lands besides his brother as he says,"Well, you annoying me to! So about you go off and vanish yourself!"

Zero just sighs as he says,"Laugh at death all you want, you can't escape it now! Nice maneuver there shades, but let's see you get out of this! "

Zero then fires blasts from both of his hands, and the robot duo move fast to avoid it! However Zero was counting on that, and while he does not have his Z saber to use yet, he still has a triple combo to unleash to the good guys dread when he forms a wheel of dark blue energy in his hands and throws it right at them! This catches them off guard, and they are blasted hard! Wily laughs as he sees his long time sources of misery get blasted in to the air and land with a thud he laughs manically," Hahahah, yes, yes, my dreams are at last coming true! Zero is the real deal, he will wipe you all out! Finish them Zero, show no mercy!"

Zero just rolls his eyes and says," Mercy and me don't mix well, and these guys disgust me anyway." Megaman gets back up and says,"

Sorry to disgust you so much Zero, but no matter what you think of us you're not going to win!"

Zero looks bored as he says," Even idiots like you should know it's hopeless to try and stand in my way."

Protoman gets up after holding his chest hard as he says," It may be idiotic to try and keep fighting someone much stronger then you. However, It would be even more stupid to just let you go and do what you please!"

Zero looks amused as he says,"Tsc, trying to be heroes are we? Hahahaha, how pathetic. Protecting beings who are not worth the materials they consume? That's not even funny! In fact, you could say that letting such meaningless beings continue to live is more stupid then anything!"

With this he charges up his power and his purple aura expands before it forms a even larger now purple wheel like structure of energy before Wily looks ecstatic as he says,"Yes, that's it Zero, finish them! "

Zero looks irritated as he says," I will, but not for your sake Wily. It's just that theses sorry excuse for robots are not even fun to trash! Time to be reduced to zero!"

The ruthless artificial life form thus fires his attack, and Megaman says,"Oh no, that blast is to big! No, I can't lose here! Huh?"

All of a sudden he hears some sort of humming, before he sees the ground in front of him open up, and a pair of missiles blast out and knock the blast off course!

Protoman grins as he says," So, Doctor Light finally got wise and added some defense systems after that Dark-man who tried to impersonate me and Bass showed his true colors eh? Glad to see he is not to naïve at least. "

Zero just looks amused as he says,"Your little tricks don't amuse me, nothing can stop me, just expect the honor of being killed by the perfect killing machine!"

Megaman just charges up all of the power he has before he says,"Being the perfect killing machine is nothing to brag about! Someone that only exists to kill must not be allowed to do as he pleases! I won't let you win Zero!"

With this he fires off a powerful charged shot, and his brother does the same as two large energy cannons come out of the top of Light's lab and fire in unison! However as the quadruple blast heads for Zero he just looks annoyed and says," Don't you get it, no matter how many attacks come at me at once, you will still fail! I'll show you what I think of your little team work attack!"

With this his energy explodes, and he catches the blasts with his bare hands! At first Zero seems to be pushed back by it, but then he just looks even more evil as he screams loud and grasps it with his hands before he squeezes tight, and shatters it! He then sees Megaman's horrified expression and says," Now is your ultimate fear starting to settle Megaman? Good, such a look will make your deletion that much more enjoyable! HAHAHAAHAH!"

Megaman just steps back before he says,"This is not good, is he really invincible? No, he can't be! And even if he is, we can't lose to him!"

Zero just lands on the ground as his eyes glow red before he utters a demonic,"Oh believe me Megaman, I am invincible! Here, let me prove it to you by giving you a taste of what true power is! Rakuhoua!"

All of a sudden Zero's aura explodes as he punches the ground, and before anyone can react the ground explodes and a barrage of black energy blasts roars out, and in a flash rain down and devastate Megaman and Protoman! As a series of explosions rock the ground, and they are both hit hard. Protman tried to defend with his shield but it got melted, and Megaman was blasted out of his combinations with Rush! As they land on the ground Zero instantly warps in front of Megaman and kicks him through a tree! As he instantly warps in front of his foe and punches the blue bomber in the chest he says," Pathetic, to think so many of the doctors robots lost to a weak fool like you? Well, I suppose the difference in power is quite large. But oh well, time to end this embarrassment!"

Protoman struggles to get up as he says,"Megaman, no! Damn you Zero I won't let you, AH!"

In an instant Zero blasted Protoman's leg of with a charge shot as he laughs and says,"Wait your turn! You should be grateful your brother will be a demonstration for what's going to happen to you!" Roll is peaking outside the labs door and with terror she says,"Megaman, Protoman! Stop this! Someone, anyone help them! "

Zero hears this and laughs madly as he says," Forget it girl! No one can save any of you! Now, let the killing commence! "

With this he extends his hand and gets ready to jab Megaman through before he says," Time to, GUH!"

With this Zero's killer strike is interrupted by being hit from a unseen massive blast of light energy! This blast blows Zero off, and as his chest is smoking and Megaman is free from his grasp he says,"

That nearly stung! This power, no way it could be from the likes of this trash, want to introduce yourself new comer? "

All of a sudden Megaman sees a new figure landing in front of Zero, and as Wily rubs his eyes to see more clearly he says,"What!? Damn hero's luck! So, you returned to die, Duo!"

Sure enough everyone sees that the figure who intercepted Zero and saved Megaman is a large blue and red robot with a white face, some sort of wings out of his back, and one really large fist that is half the size of Megaman! However, Megaman and the others are glad to see him, because he is there ally form another world Duo! Megaman sees his friend look serious as he says,"

I sensed a rising surge of evil energy from this world, but I did not think it was in the form of such a demon! Glad I arrived when I did. Are you all right Megaman?"

Megaman smiles and says," Don't worry, it's nothing an E-tank can't patch up. But boy am I glad that you arrived when you did. Wily really went all out on this guy."

Duo nods and says," I can see. This is worse than I feared. The evil energy I am sensing form this Zero, is more than the original being that crash landed on this world had!"

Zero just cracks his knuckles as he says," Well, I am the god of destruction, can't have a title like that without having the power to back it up! "

Wily laughs madly again as he says," That's right! I found the root of the evil energy and was able to recreate it on my own, and empower Zero with it! Even you are nothing to him Duo!"

Duo just has his large knuckle rotate and glow before he says,"We will see about that. It's my responsibility to purge all such evil energy from the cosmos, and taking you down fits that role quite well! You will not be allowed to go on existing Zero, not if I have anything to say about it!"

With that in an instant he glows and tackles Zero! Zero responds with a round house kick that greets his opponent on impact and causes a shockwave! Sensing the force behind his opponents attack causes Zero to grin as he says," Ah, you are strong, stronger than those other two at the very least! Maybe you will give me a decent warm up after all!"

Duo just grunts as he out puts more power and says," I'll make you take this seriously villain! Let's see you laugh at this!"

With this he extends his large hand, and shocks Zero by having it extend instantly and slam him hard in the face! As Zero is launched in the air Duo powers up and says,"

I promised my friends here I would protect this world with them, and I don't go back on my word! Perish monster!"

With this Duo fires a massive white energy beam from his big hand, and it hits Zero dead on! As it explodes Protoman gets excited and says,"All right, he nailed him!" This worries Wily as he says," No, Zero! Bah, my masterpiece can't be destroyed so easy you outer world pile of scarp! Come on Zero, don't make me have wasted the last few years of my life!"

Megaman gets back on his feet as he says,"Don't you get it Wily? No matter what you build you're bound to see it be destroyed! Because you're selfish creations of destruction are enemies of the world! Huh, what is this? No way!"

Everyone hears an evil voice chuckle as from the smoke the clearly still alive Zero says,"Am I suppose to be bothered that most of the people of the world are against me? Because, it's not like I care what worthless humans think of me!"

In a instant a surge of power blows away the smoke to see a unharmed Zero fly out looking sadistic! Duo is shocked as he says," He barely has a dent! What nightmare did Wily put together?"

Zero snickers as he says,"All right, that's about enough. You're stronger than the other two, but it's clear someone like you can never be my equal! I think I wasted enough time expecting anything from you trash, the warm ups are over! "

With this Duo charges at Zero again and says," This may be a game to you Zero, but the stake of the entire planet depends on this battle! I won't let you win!"

He then punches Zero, or at least tries to, but as Zero's long hair gets in his face as he blinks he is shocked to see he has vanished! He then is about to turn around when he feels something poking his back, and hears a voice say," If you're going to play sure a high stakes game, you have to be able to have what it takes!"

Duo is about to turn around when all of a sudden a massive burst of energy comes out of his shoulder and blows his left arm off! As he goes down on the ground hard Duo screams in pain and Megaman says," No Duo! AH!"

At once Zero appears above him, with his heel on his chest! Zero then pushes down hard as he says,"Any other pointless delays you want to throw at me Megaman? Because if not how about we wrap this up!? "

With this he kicks Megaman back so hard he goes skidding through Light's fence before he has his aura grow massive! As he aims right for Megaman Roll looks horrified and says," No Megaman! This has to be a nightmare! You can't be beaten by him, you just can't!"

Zero then laughs as he says," Looks like your fan girl is going to be the first one to have her heart crushed Megaman! Seriously, it's been fun while it lasted, but time to say good bye, and hello to the scrap yard!"

With this Zero unleashes a massive outburst from his aura that forms a blade of blood red energy! Megaman Protoman and Duo all try to do something but they are all to damaged to move as Protoman then says," No, Megaman! Damn it, move body!"

Wily is ecstatic as he screams out, "Yes, YES! At long last, victory is mine! Huh, what the? No!"

All of a sudden everyone is shocked to see Megaman get pushed out of the way, by Roll! Megaman's sister used all the limited power she could to push her brother, but now she is right in the coming blasts path! A shocked Megaman can only say," Roll! NO!"

Roll just smiles as she says,"Megaman, I know you can make this world a better place! You have to, survive! AHHH!"

With this Roll is hit by Zero's sword of dark energy, and in a instant the power causes her to explode and vaporize, and with cruel irony in the way that Megaman and Protoman did when they died in the games! Seeing Roll die causes Megaman to freak out as he says,"Roll? Roll!? ROLL! NO!"

As Megaman screams louder then when Darth Vader realized he killed his wife Light sees this through the monitor in his lab as he says," No, Roll! Blast you Wily! How could I have failed to see this?"

Zero just looks annoyed and says," Bah, what was that idiot doing? I take no pleasure in destroying worthless dolls, you only have your own weakness to blame for her death Megaman!"

Megaman at once gets up with a hidden reserve of energy as he says,"Zero! I won't forgive you! GUH!"

He blindly charged at Zero but this burst of rage still does not impress Zero as he grabs his fist and hurls him through Lights labs door!

He just sighs and says," I don't care for your forgiveness, just for your death! This time, I'll make sure no one can save you!"

With this he flies in to the air and has both of his Z-busters appear before they both come together and charge to full power! As a massive amount of energy forms he aims at Lights lab and Duo says," Damn you Zero, this energy is enough to reshape the planet! "

Zero just grins evilly as he says,"Well, I intended from the start to change things! After all, I am the new messiah of this infested world that will bring about its new age! And all unworthy ones beware, for the time has come for you to be deleted! Sayonara garbage!"

The psychopathic robot proceeds to fire a massive red energy wave from his cannons, that hits Lights lab, and causes a massive explosion that covers the entire area! As Wily's own skull craft gets rocked back from the shock waves his ultimate creation has caused he holds on tight as he says," Hahahaha, wonderful! Well Doctor Light, looks like we finally see who the true ultimate robot genius is! I wish I could see your face's last expression, but since it's not worth the price my imagination will do just fine! Now, did it work? OH! Yes, in your face Light, whatever is left of it!"

Wily jumps up and down in evil joy as he sees that when the smoke clears, that there is nothing but a giant smoking creator with a few rocks were everyone once was! Seeing no trace of Megaman, Protoman, Duo or anyone else causes Wily to laugh in trumped as he says," And so the great and noble carrier of everyone's lovable Doctor Light comes crashing to a end, along with his life! You did well Zero. Yes, you exceeded my wildest dreams!"

Zero just floats up to besides Wily with his arms crossed as he says,"Bah, that was not even very fun. You really had so much difficulties with such pathetic piles of metal?"

Wily coughs as he says,"Well, they indeed look like a bunch of losers, but were a tricky bunch of losers. Neither the less, that's all a mute point that's to you Zero! Hahah, ah, this feels like a dream! Ah, but time to insure the public that what just happened is not a dream! Yes, now that Megaman and the others are now at last just a few ashes on the ground it's time for the entire world to expect their rightful master! If not then they will experience a true nightmare! Come Zero, back to base!"

Zero eyes Wily as he says," If that is your desire master. Tsc, those that don't know there place will indeed experience true pain at my hand! Very well, let's see if this part will be any more fun!"

With this Wily gets back in his machine and blasts of in to the distance as Zero fallows him! As they go, we now turn to are spectators, who have been horrified by what they have witnessed!

X sees the wide flaming crater left by his best friend and says,"Zero, so that was the real Zero? I knew Zero was a different person before he joined the Maverick Hunters, but, I did not think he was pure evil!"

Ben clutches his fist as he says,"Damn it, I feel so helpless! Even if this is nothing more than a recreation, not being able to do anything makes me so mad! "

Lacus looks sad and says," How horrible that after all of this your sister was killed by Zero, and it seems like everyone else did to!"

James then ponders something as he adds a keen," But wait, this can't be how it ends, otherwise how are you guys still around?"

He looks at the present Megaman, who then turns to the Doctor and says," But, this is not the end, there was definitely more that happened! Unless, I dreamed it."

The present Light nods and says,"Your memory is not faulty Megaman, this is not the end of what I have to show you. For you see everyone, while Zero did destroy the upper part of my lab, lucky for us all he did not count on me being in my defended underground lab all ready. And, most of all, I was lucky Zero did not have his blast go in deep, or we would all likely be in a much more dire situation . Still, that day will always haunt me."

Megaman nods as he says,"Me to Doctor Light, the fact that I was helpless to save Roll, I'll never let it go. "

X turns to his brother and says," I know what it's like to not be able to save someone that is important to you. Don't place all the burden on yourself."

Ben nods and says," You can't blame yourself or you will go crazy. Just focus on bringing those who caused this vile situation to justice in the first place! Er, however in this case its Wily who was being the puppeteer and Zero being the puppet."

Light just sighs and says," Here, I will not fast forward time, now we are going to go to the underground part of my lab where I repaired Megaman and the others. "

With this he snaps his fingers and everyone watches as the environment changes, and they are in an underground lab full of computers and equipment! Are view turns to the past Megaman, who seems to have been repaired by his creator after the time had passed. With Light is his other creation the large chunky green robot with a tool right hand that is helpful with mechanic stuff named Auto. Auto is tweaking Duo's arm and appears to have repaired it. However the noise caused Megaman to moan as he says," Stop it Roll, five more minutes! Huh? "

He then opens his eyes and sees his solemn "father" looking at him as he says,"Sorry Megaman, now is not the time to sleep. "

Megaman at once remembers what happened and jumps up as he says,"Doctor Light! Your all right? How did we, survive?"

Duo then stirs, and sits up before looking at his large fist and says,"With all of the power I had left I created a barrier to protect us. However, we were just lucky that we fell in below and that Zero did not bother to conform are deaths. Still, I was not able to be of any use. I am deeply sorry."

Megaman gets up and looks at his hands as he says,"It's not your fault Duo, Zero was just too strong. And now, Roll! Professor, you have to save her! You can fix her right? You can rebuild anything!"

Light looks down as he says," I am ashamed to say even I can't repair Roll since Zero's attack blasted her very atoms apart. Wily, he is truly mad to create such a demon!"

Protoman then slams the ground, showing he is awake as he clutches his fist as he says," Damn that Zero! He was just playing around with us! If all of our combined power could not make him take us seriously what are we going to do?"

Megaman just looks angry as he says," Whatever we have to do Protoman! I won't let Zero get away with this! I'll never forgive him for what he did to Roll! "

Light nods and says,"There is no way we will let Wily get away with his plans. However, we have to act carefully, or the devastation will repeat. Now, if we are going to win, we have to match Wily's next move. Wily thinks he has killed us, what will he do next."

Protoman shrugs and says,"The man has been ranting about taking over the world from day one. I bet he is all ready getting ready to demand everyone surrender to him or something. Huh?"

Everyone hears an alarm go off before Light goes over to it and says," Looks like he is moving even faster than we thought he would. He must be quite eared." He then presses a button and the main monitor then switches to a close up shot of Wily! Everyone then gets annoyed as they hear Wily laugh even louder than normal before he says,"

Citizens of the world! This is the great Doctor Albert Wily! I have a important announcement to make! The time is now that the rightful ruler of the world has taken his place! For years my greatness was denied by you no nothing nitwits! But now I can no longer be denied! Your beloved Doctor Light is now dead, killed at the hands of my ultimate creation! Ladies and gents, let me show you the absolute persona of power, Zero!"

With this he motions his hand to the left as the screen pans out to show that Wily is standing on a self made podium and Zero is hovering above him! Zero just glares at the camera as Wily cackles evilly and says," Zero has destroyed the beloved Megaman and his allies, and by crushing the hero of the planet he has proved that there is no one that can resist my wrath! And with his power, I have the strength to enforce my rightful place in the world! I will no longer tolerate insolence! I demand all powers of the world endorse me as their leader in a hour, or suffer the wrath of Zero! And to prove I am deadly serious, I will show you a demonstration to anyone who has any wise ideas!"

With this Wily raises his hands, and a pair of black obelisks appear on his sides with large W's on the top! He then says,"Zero, please show, let's say west city, why they are not lucky today!"

Zero smirks as he responds with a devious," Very well, let the destruction commence!"

With this the aura around him explodes before he fires a massive red energy blast right in to the air! This blast goes right in to Wily's newly appeared creation and is sucked right in to it! However, before anyone can ponder why Zero did that all of a sudden everyone can see a massive flash of light, in the form of a atomic explosion can be seen in the distance on screen! As a mushroom cloud forms Wily just chuckles and says,"In case you're wondering what just transpired along with my god of destruction here I created some nifty support gear that can absorb his blasts and transfer them vie satellites to unleash his power to any local that I deem needs to taste it! And it would seem, that citizens of west city now got a taste! You can call them your self's but I do believe that caliber of a blast annihilated the entire city! HAHAHAHAHAH!"

Seeing just how mad Wily is causes Protoman to say," Damn you Wily! I did not think it was possible, but after all these years you evolved to an evil ambitious madman to an insane murderous psychopath! "

Duo nods and says,"It would seem all the defeats he has suffered from us has driven him totally over the edge." Wily then stops laughing at last and says,"

Now then, I think it's quite clear what's in store for everyone if you cling on to any futile ideals of resistance! That's why I am counting on all of you unleashing what little common sense you have and admit you're now going to have a new ruler! This is the price you get for belittling me all this time! You thought you could dismiss my greatness, but that's just going to make things harder for all of you! One hour, if I don't see a complete allegiance to the rule of Doctor Wily by that time, then a random city will become like West city till you do! HAhahahaha!"

With this the screen becomes normal again and it returns to a pale white female reporter. Doctor Light turns it off and Megaman looks determined as he says,"

That's it, no matter what we can't let Wily have his way! I don't care how much more powerful Zero is, we just have to defeat him!"

Duo sighs and says," I agree Megaman, but, the question still remains on how we are going to get that done. Just rushing in without a plan will get us slathered, and I doubt Zero will be as careless! "

Protoman then says," Still, if we are going to do something we have to do it soon. "

Light then goes to the computer and types some buttons, before a hologram of Zero appears around everyone and he says," I did try to analyze Zero during his attack. However that did not get much good news. He seems to have no obvious weak spot like Wily's normal robot masters. However, I might have a way for you all to overcome him. Despite the difference in strength, his power might be his greatest weakness."

Duo then says," What do you mean doctor?"

Light quickly responds with a grave," If you can attack him just as he unleashes a assault it might cause him to overload. It's a long shot, but the only shot we got. "

Megaman then smiles and says,"Don't worry, no matter how slim a chance we have we will make it! Come on, Protoman, Duo, we have not time to waste ! This will be are final battle with Doctor Wily. After all he has done, I won't let him beg his way out of it!"

Light then says," Don't worry; your victory will be hard but not impossible. And, to increase your chances I even gave your weapons systems a bit of a boost."

Protoman then shrugs and says,"

I don't know if I feel any stronger. Though, my chest does feel lighter. "

Light then coughs as he says, "Er, well, that's because while I repaired your damages, I just happened to finally fix that defect in your energy system."

This upsets Protoman and he runs over to his creator and says," YOU DID WHAT!? Fixing a busted arm is one thing, but I told you I never wanted you to tinker with my systems without my permission! "

Light just laughs and says," Now that its all over do you realize how pointless being proud about that was? You can thank me when you survive this and don't suddenly combust. "

Megaman then laughs and says," Oh he is right don't be so prideful that it gets yourself killed Proto, he did a good thing that helped you greatly! All right, come on guys, lets end this madness!"

Light then says,"Ill warp you three to the best location. It seems Wily made his speech on his new Skull base, on that is floating over the capital city! Megaman, Protoman, Duo, good luck. And, please come back safely. "

Megaman his two allies and the robotic animals all get ready to warp in to their biggest fight yet before Megaman gives Light a thumbs up and he says," Thanks! And be careful! If we fail Wily and Zero will come for you next!"

Light just says," I'll be ready, but just come back alive my children."

With that they all warp out and Light sighs. Auto sees this and says," Are you all right Professor?"

Light just turns to Auto and says," If only I found out what Wily was up to quicker. I was so relaxed that I really thought he would just have given it up. I should have known he will never stop till he can no longer threaten everyone again. "

Auto just shrugs and says," Even if you knew Wily was building Zero it's not like it would have helped much. Er, well unless we destroyed him before he was created or something. Huh?"

Light then turns around, and goes to the wall opposite of the computers before he puts his palm on the center and the wall splits in two and begins to open! As they do Light says," Maybe, but, if I knew ahead of time, I would have accelerated project X."

Then to everyone's shock are hero's see a blue capsule in the back of the hidden room, with many computers all around a incomplete X! Auto has never seen X before and says,"This is, your secret project doctor? It, looks like Megaman, but bigger!"

Light nods and says," This is to be his and Protoman's brother, and the one who will if properly used usher in the new step of the evolution of robots. He is Megaman X."

Auto then says," Megaman, X? Are you going to replace Megaman?"

Light chuckles and says,"He may have a X but he is not to replace Megaman. He is more advanced then Megaman, then any robot. He can think in a whole new level, and have power that can match if not surpass Zero. Auto, X is also a variable, that means unlimited potential. However, because of how sophisticated he is, there is still so much testing that needs to be done. I, need more time. But, if Zero defeats them, I have no choice. X, you're the final hope of this world. I just hope I don't have to release you prematurely, or may god have mercy on us all. Come Auto, let's see if Wily is starting to move again. Hopefully he will, cough!"

All of a sudden Doctor Light goes in to a coughing fit and falls to his knees Auto runs over and says," Are you ok Doctor? Your condition is getting worse."

Light just gets back up and says," I am find, it's just from all the stress. I have to keep it together though, now more than ever. Still, I must prepare for any scenario. Auto, get a emergence transmission to Doctor Cossack if you would."

With this he goes back to the monitor, and the screen fades!

Megaman was shocked to see X was all ready being worked on as he says," Doctor Light, you were all ready working on X without telling me?"

Light nods and says,"That's what the stuff you were bringing back to me was for. I did not keep X a secret from you and the others because I did not trust you Megaman. I did so because I did not want word of X to be leaked to the public. People tend to not react well to change. That is why I waited thirty years to fully test X, to insure that he would not break the number one rule of robotics and become a nightmare to humans like so many after him would be. "

X then turns to the hologram image of his creator as he says,"But, Doctor, since I was not released at that time, that would mean Megaman and the others won, right?" Protoman just puts his arms together and says,"I guess you can call what happened a victory, sort of."

Light then says," I think it would be best if I just show you what happened. Here, this is just as Megaman Duo and Protoman arrived and confronted Wily." Hiryuumon then raises his hand and says," Er, excuse me! Before we continue can I have a snack? All of this big news has made me hungry."

Ben just sighs as he puts his hand on his head and says," This is not a movie Hiryuumon, show some respect! "

Lacus then giggles as she says,"Don't worry, when this is all done we will have a big feast so just sit tight."

With that their surroundings once again begin to change before they can see a city that might be Neo Arcadia before it had its name changed. Well, since Wily 's giant flying skull castle just smashed through a large Arcadia sigh that might have been its name, but, we have more important things to worry about as people are feeling in terror as Wily's lesser servants descend from the base to cause havoc ! Wily sees his henchmen warming up the people of the city for Zero and laughs as he turns to the then pure evil red robot and says,"

Look at them run Zero, they are like ants! "

Zero just grunts as his eyes are closed in an indifferent look as he says," Humans are so pathetic. While it would seem throughout your history some are able to rise above disgust, most of them are but sheep in a flock of mindless fools!"

Wily laughs and says,"How true Zero. Most people can't appreciate true genius. They just embrace the easiest simplest equations, because they are simpletons that can't understand anything that's not spelled out for them! I am tired of this world going on. Zero, let us recreate this world to a truly worthy planet! Oh? "

He hears a clicking sound and takes a advanced pocket watch out of his lab coat before he sees the time and sneers before he says," Time is up, and still no word. Stubborn idiots, I'll make them pay for thinking they are too good to beg to me! If they are screaming now, just wait till they see all you can do my masterpiece! Hahaha, once I finish testing it, with my glorious virus there will be no safe haven for anyone! Now, Zero, its time! How about we start with this city? I have plans for a much more fitting capital in its place anyway!"

Zero just has his murderous aura grow again as he floats in to the air and he charges up the Z Buster and says," It makes no difference where the destruction begins, soon the entire world will face their fate!"

He then begins to get ready and Wily laughs as he says,"

Hahaha, when ever your ready! Haha, easy there Zero, your aiming at me!"

Zero just grins sadistically as he says,"I am not so sure about that. I am just fulfilling my duty to eradicate trash. And what I see here is a egotistical , oh?"

Zero stops before he lowers his arm and laughs loudly before saying,"

Well well, looks like some people don't know when to take their second chance!"

Wily raises an eyebrow as he says,"Zero what are you, huh? What the? "

All of a sudden he hears an explosion, and turns around to see a bunch of Sniper Joe's and Mets go flying! He then is shocked to see Megaman Protoman and Duo emerge! He is in a state of shock as he says,"

Megaman? How the blazes did you survive Zero's attack? The entire area was reduced to nothing! "

Protoman just smirks and says," You guys were overconfident, and now you're going to pay for it!" Zero just looks unimpressed as he says,"

You survived, and yet you return? You all must really want to die!"

Megaman just looks determined as he says," No, we just can't let you win no matter what Zero! You think we are nothing but trash, but even lowly trash has the right to live and live freely!"

Zero just rolls his eyes as he says," Don't make me laugh, all trash does is clog up the time of truly worthy beings!"

Duo gets angry and says,"And who has the right to say who is worthy, you?"

Wily laughs as he says," Of course I have the right, after all I am the smartest man of this world! The most superior beings should rule, it's only natural! Having the weak in charge only causes evolution to be stagnated."

Protoman then says," You think your superior Wily? You may have a big brain, but you're also insane! No way you're superior!"

Megaman nods as he says,"Proto is right! Wily, it does not matter how much you know if you forgotten what it means to love and care about others!"

Wily laughs hysterically as he says,"You are telling me about emotions Megaman? You're just a lowly robot! You may act like you have feelings, but all of you are just puppets made to fulfill your creators roles!"

Megaman gets angry as he says," I told you before, I am more than just a robot Wily! Even robots are capable of evolving to something better. But, as long as guys like you and Zero are around, they won't get the chance ! Now I see, this time I have to do what I really should have done at the start. I was hesitating before, but now I know that you will never change your ways Wily! Even if I have to break the rules of robots, your madness ends here one way or another Wily!"

Wily looks amused as he says,"You say you're going to kill me Megaman? Are you even capable of such a fleet with your weak mind? Well, as interesting as your theory is, you won't have the chance to pull it off with Zero at my side! Zero, no mishaps this time, delete them all!"

Zero laughs as he powers up and says," I was too easy on you idiots last time it would seem. Now to make sure you die ill tear you limb from limb!"

Megaman then says," Don't think you can just brush us aside Zero! WE are ready for you this time!"

Zero laughs madly as he aims his busters at them as he says," It does not matter how ready you are, you won't survive this time! DIE!"

With this Zero fires two charged shots again, but the heroic trio dodge them as they go on to blast away parts of the buildings behind them! Megaman just charges up another shot from his Megabuster as he says," Your powerful Zero, but not invincible! We will show you we are powerful too! "

With this they all fire there blasts at Zero, and Zero just goes to walk through the blasts! However, he is shocked when the attacks push him back! As he flicks off the dust on his green orbs he says," So, you gotten a little more powerful in under an hour? Desperate last minute upgrades eh? It still won't make a difference! "

With this he fires another blue energy ring at them. However Megaman changes color as he says, "You're going to see it's more than just a little upgrade! Time Stop!"

With this Megaman causes a flash to blind Zero, before all of a sudden he sees the three are right up in his face ready to attack! Zero is caught off guard as he says,"

No, you stopped time? You little,"Duo then winds up his fist as he says,"Told you we would surprise you Zero! Take this!"

With this all three of the robots blast Zero right in his face! The shocked Zero is blasted in to the air as a mortified Wily says,"Zero! Damn them!"

He then sees Zero emerge from the smoke looking annoyed as he says,"You're getting even more resourceful, but no matter what you try, you will still fail! "

With this he warps behind them and punch's the ground hard, so hard that he hurls chucks of metal at his opponents! Protoman unleashes a barrage of blasts to blow up the metal, but he is then shocked to see an energy blast coming his way! He tries to defend himself with his shield, but the blast still blows him off his feet! Zero then waves his hand and creates a strong gust of wind to blow Megaman and Duo in to the air before he transforms his hand to the Z buster again and says," You're very stubborn, but let me make this clear. You cannot defeat me!"

With this he fires off another dual charged shot, but Megaman quickly changes color again and says," Yes we can, because it's simple, we can't afford to lose! Skull Barrier!"

With this Megaman creates another shield to protect him and Duo but Zero's attack shatters it instantly and they are blasted higher in the air! Zero then warps above them and says," I don't care what reasons you have, ill shatter them all! "

With this he unleashes a clothesline attack on the two and in a burst of speed smashes them so hard against the ground on Wily's massive sky citadel Is bent hard! Megaman then says," The hopes of the people are not something you can break Zero! You will never be able to prevail!"

Zero looks annoyed and says,"Oh be quite! I don't know how delusional you are programmed to be but if you not have noticed even with your so called upgrades your still not a challenge to me!"

Megaman just keeps his look of resolve as he says," This is not over yet! Copy Vision!"

With this Megaman uses the power he acquired form Dynamo Man before Zero sees many replicas of Megaman and Duo surrounding him! Zero just rolls his eyes as he says," Think creating cheap illusions will fool me! I had it with your annoying tricks! "He then fires a charged shot to blast some away, only to see them get out of the way! One of the Duo 's rotate his large knuckle before he says," Well, we are getting rather tired of you Zero!" With this many of the Duo's punch Zero at once, and Zero is shocked to see they are all real! As he gets pummeled and gets uppercut in to the air he says,"

What, theses are more than just illusions?"

One of the Megaman's nods as they all charge there Megabuster's before one of them says," That's right Zero, we are all real, and we can all give some damage!"

With this they all barrage Zero at once with blasts heading in to him from all angles! As Zero gets bombarded so much that he can't even move he gets mad and says," No matter how many times you attack, you won't win!"

The self proclaimed god of destruction furiously lashes out and creates a shock wave that blasts all of the copies away! However as he gets hit in the face with another Megabuster blast he glares at Megaman and lunges at him with his fist as he says," You really think you can win just because you wish hard enough that it would be true? Get real!"

He is about to hammer Megaman's head in to the ground when all of a sudden Protoman gets in-between the two as he charges up all the power he has and says,"

You should not underestimate wishing Zero! The will to dream for a better future can produce some rather powerful results! Big Bang Burst!"

With that Protoman unleashes all of the power he has in to a massive energy blast that blasts Zero back! As he struggles to defect the blast he gets pushed back in to the air again and says," Is this all the power you got? Ha, your burning your self's out for nothing! Oh?"

He then sees Megaman and Duo get to the side of their friend before Megaman says,"It's not for nothing Zero, even if we have to give up are life's to stop you we will gladly do it for a world of peace! "

With this the two go full power as well and fire massive blasts that combined with Protoman 's before a massive energy wave consumes Zero! The God of destruction is shocked that the blast is stronger than he expected as he says," What, I can't defect it? Impossible, RAH!"

All of a sudden he is consumed and the blast causes an explosion! As the hero's take a deep breath Protoman says," Did we get him? Huh? No!" A moment later the smoke is blown away by Zero's energy! The evil robot looks quite annoyed, and for the first time damaged! Seeing his chest dented and sparking causes Zero to get quite furious as he clutches his hand tightly and says,"

How dare you scratch me you pile of junk! You think you can get away with this!? Better enjoy your little triumph, because it will be your last! Let me give you a taste of the power of perfection!"With this he is about to charge at them again but Megaman quickly changes colors again as he says,"

Someone like you can never be called perfect! Noise Crush!"

The heroic robot then fires of Shade Mans' sound based attack to rush in to Zero and there incoming foe did not count for that and his charge is stopped in his tracks as he says,"Damn, that noise! When I get my hands on you I will slash your transistors out! Huh?"

He then sees his three opponents charging at him with all of them looking like there about to unleash everything they have at once as Megaman says,"

You won't get the chance, because you're going down now! This is it! Now for Roll's sake your, AH!"

The three were about to slam in to the stunned Zero when out of nowhere they are blasted to the left by a massive energy beam! As they land scourged on the ground moments later a damaged Protoman says," Damn it, how could Zero attack even while he was clearly stunned, from another direction?"

Duo then struggles to get up as he says,"No, it was not Zero, it had to be. Huh?"

Everyone hears a loud machine noise before it's fallowed by an annoying evil laugh that the trio know all too well! Sure enough Megaman turns around as he says,"

Wily!"

It seems that Wily choose a devious time to remind everyone he is quick at pulling out his machines as it seems in the time they arrived he got out his newest Skull battle craft, and all ready took the time to wait for the right chance, and blast his hated robots with their guard is down! Wily then laughs some more as he says,"

Did you really think I would sit by and let you idiots even have a minimum chance of defeating me? Forget it! "

Zero then shakes his head and looks annoyed as he says," I don't need your assistance in taking care of theses idiots Doctor Wily! Don't interfere! "

Wily looks defensive as he says," I of course know you can wipe out theses clowns with ease Zero. However, since we are on a bit of a tight schedule, and since I REALLY want to see them dead I thought I speed things along."

Zero cracks his neck as he floats high in the air and says,"Fine, I get the message. Find by me, this was getting stale fast anyway!" He then puts his hands together to form another, even larger blue ring of deadly energy forms in his hands as he says," You lasted longer than I expected, but it's only natural that this is the outcome! After all, its natural that the most powerful being wins after all! "

He is about to fire when a new voice says," How true, that's why I am going to win!"Zero then says," What the, GUH!"

All of a sudden he gets blasted in the face, and another purple blast goes in to his and causes his blast to explode! Wily sees this and says," What the blazes is this? What, you? HOW DARE YOU BASS!" With this Wily sees a smirking, and still damaged Bass flying at Zero with his buster aimed and charging as he says,"

Sorry to go off your game plan old man, but no matter what I won't let anyone disrespect me!"

Megaman looks happy as he says," Bass! I knew there was good in you! Huh, whoa!"

Is happy moment is ruined when he sees a bolt of energy head is way! As he jumps back to avoid it he sees his long time rival says," Screw you Megaman I am not here to save your hide! I just want to bust Zero so I can keep him from taking what is my right!"

Zero gets annoyed as he glares at Bass and says," How dare you reject, how dare you stand in my way!? You're going to wish you never stand in my way!"

Bass charges at Zero as he says," That's my line!"

He then has his own purple energy explode before he fires a machine gun style barrage of blasts at his hated superior robot! However Zero shows he is not in the mood as he just air dashes at Bass and has his power explode, causing the blasts to just bounce off him! He looks murderous as he extends his hand and has his aura just blast Bass away before his hand glows red and he bursts at Bass as he says," Bass, your nothing but a failed prototype, you will never defeat me!"

Bass just laughs madly as he says,"I don't care what the specs say, I am the one who is suppose to be the strongest Zero, not you! I'll show you just how powerful I am! EAT THIS!"

With this Bass fires a massive purple energy beam at Zero! However the angry red robot just says," If you're not going to expect your place, then you're done!"

With this Zero shows what he can really do as he smashes the blast with his hand, and just splits in half before he smashes that hand right through a horrified Bass's chest! As he hears Bass scream in pain Zero laughs as he says,"

What's wrong, is the truth to harsh to bare Bass? Perfection is born in chaos. The world is born... From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes two... Two becomes 10... 10 becomes 100 Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as zero remains... One... will eventually grow to 100 again ! Don't you get it? Time cannot go backwards, only forwards! Those that can't keep up with the times just have to be deleted! I am the force that's power will grow and surpass all others! I guess this means this is the end of the line for you Bass! Huh?"

He is shocked to see that Bass is still charging power in his buster as he says,

" I don't care what fate or even my own creator says, I'll be the strongest and crush all who try and stop me! If you're the zero that just keeps multiplying, then I'll just have to turn you back in to nothing!"

With this Bass fire's at Zero's blue crystal with all the power he has left, and it seems to hit home as Zero roars in pain! Zero reacts by instantly smashing Bass in the head and hitting him out of sight before he roars in pain as everyone sees that the blue crystal on Zero's head was cracked by Bass's final attack and Duo says," That crystal, Bass damaged it, and its causing Zero to react. That just might be his weakness!"

Wily sees Zero roaring madly as he says," Zero, what happened? Don't tell me that reject was able to hurt you Zero! Stop embarrassing me and finish them off all ready!"

Zero just glares at Wily and points his finger at his machine as he says," Be quite!"

With this he fires a bolt of energy from his finger and instantly blasts a portion of Wily's machine up, and he only missed Wily because his finger twitched! A horror-struck Wily gasps as he says,"Zero, what are you doing!? You nearly killed me! How dare you, strike back against me! You were created to be my perfect loyal solider!" Zero just laughs madly as he holds his head with his right hand and says," That might be what you intended, doctor, but I see no need to listen to you!"

Wily is getting nervous as he says," Are you malfunctioning, I created you! Huh?"

Zero then laughs even louder, as his eyes glow red and his aura explodes! He then says,"Oh please, without the power you latched on, you would never have completed me! The only allegiance I have is to the power of the dark side! And the only thing that I need to pay them back for helping me is wipe out all trash, all unworthy beings from this world! And you know Doctor Wily, you look like an unworthy cum to me! And that's why, are partnership ends!"

With this Zero puts his hands together forms a massive buster before he fires an even larger blast at his own creator! Wily freaks and tries to have his machine move back as he says,"No, you can't do this to me, ZERO! AHH!"

Megaman and the others see Wily scream before the entire machine blows up and its remains come crashing down in to the city! Seeing this act and Zero laughing even more madly causes Megaman to say," No way, he attacked Wily just like that? Even Bass never really went through with it!"

Zero just turns to Megaman and says,"I was going to be amused by him a little more, but I was getting tired of pretending he mattered. "Duo then gets back in to a fighting stance as he says," To so carelessly think of his own creator, he really is the evil god of destruction! Huh, what the?"

Everyone is then shocked to see a new red symbol appear on his forehead, and while they don't recognize what the symbol is, they fail to realize how serious it is, because it's the symbol of the Necrocalcous and the Zannacross Empire! Zero then laughs madly as his dark energy grows even more powerful, and the buildings around Wily's Skull Castle get blown down as he says,"Heheheh, HAHAHAAH! Yes, like I said, I am the messiah of darkness, one that will wipe clean all unworthy beings from this filthy planet! And when I am done with this world, I'll do the same to all other planets that can't put up a decent challenge! "

Protoman just sighs and says,"This guy, he really is to insane for even Wily! If we lose he will kill everyone! "

Megaman just looks calm as he says,"Then we just can't lose!"

Zero laughs even more evil as he says,"You junk piles just don't get it, you all ready lost!"

With that he fires off another finger blast but the trio just dodges it and charges forward at Zero! Zero fires more and more blasts with increasing malicious power but they keep coming at him! Zero just says,"

Now what are you trying to pull? You all ready threw everything you had at me several times only for it to be totally pointless! I guess you're just that oblivious to how hopeless it all is!"

Protoman then says,"It's the opposite Zero, we have not given up hope yet!"

Zero then sees then all fire blasts again only for him to sigh and just dash at them, and right through there blasts as he says,"In that case, time I erase all the hope you idiots and all the others of this foolish planet have!"

He fires another Z-Buster shot at them, but Duo has his large knuckle shine and the thrusters on his back go full throttle as he catches it and says," You will never crush the hope of the people Zero, no matter how strong you are!"

Zero sees Duo coming right for him and says," Maybe you need another reminder on just how powerful I am eh otherworld trash? Find by me!"

With this he sees Duo about to fire another blast and responds by instantly firing another Z-buster blast for the kill! However Duo is able to change his angle of descent just in time, and only his right wing gets vaporized! Duo then gives it everything he has before he says," If this is the end for me, it's the end for you to Zero!" With this Duo gives Zero a bear hug using all of his power to hold Zero down! While Duo 's larger size gives him a slight advantage, at once Zero gets enraged as he says,"You think you can crush me ugly? A costly mistake, and your last! DIE!"

With this his energy explodes, creating a shockwave of power that blasts Megaman and Protoman back and causes Duo to scream in pain! As mini explosions break out Zero laughs and says,"Stubborn are we? I thought that would blow you to pieces, I guess I'll have to try harder!"

With this his entire body glows black and red as another shockwave blasts out of him, and critically damages Duo! Seeing Duo's right leg crumble and be blown apart causes Megaman to say,"Duo! Stop it you're just going to destroy yourself!"

Duo then looks at Megaman and says," No, this is what I have to do, to save everyone! Megaman, Protoman, I can't hold on much longer! Attack him now, it's the only way!"

Megaman then says," No, like this it will likely destroy you to!" Protoman then sees the cracked gem on Zero's forehead seep out more dark energy before he turns to his brother and says," Megaman, Duo is right, this is the only way! We have to attack now with everything we have while Zero is being held down! We are losing power, and he is getting stronger and more insane by the second! If we don't strike now, not only will Duo still die, but so will we and everyone else we care about! Don't make his sacrifice be in vain Megaman! For once man up and do what must be done!"

Zero then snickers as he says," No matter how many petty sacrifices you make, it will all be for nothing! Die now, die later, either way I'll kill you all I promise!"

With this he unleashes another wave of energy that damages Duo, before he turns his held back hand in to a buster and shoots through Duo's side! Seeing how much Zero is enjoying it Megaman then gets serious as he says," All right, I understand. Let's do this now! This is the end Zero!"

He and Protoman then charge up everything they have left as Zero says," You think you can defeat me, even like this? Don't make me laugh!"

Protoman then jumps up and says," We will make you more than laugh, Big Bang Burst! "

Megaman has sadness wash over his face before he gathers all the resolve he can process ," I am sorry that we could not save you Duo. Forgive me!"

With this the two fire their best attacks at full power right at Zero's head! Zero refuses to let them even think they can defeat him as he says," You think you can stop me? Megaman, Protoman, your nothing but rubbish form the old world! I am Zero, the God of Destruction that will cleanse all unworthy fools! I can't lose to you!"

Megaman then says," You may see yourself as a god Zero, but even a god can't be allowed to do what he pleases! I have always fought to protect this world, and no matter what it takes I won't let everyone down! Take this Zero!"

With this the two brothers unleash all of the power they have, and to Zero's shock it pierces his aura just as he was about to shatter Duo, and blasts him right on his forehead with such power that Zero's crystal is shattered! Zero feels great pain as he says,"How did that happen? Impossible, I am, perfect! RUH!"

From here a explosion begins to break out Duo smiles and says," Megaman, Protoman, thank you."

Protoman turns to Megaman and says,"We did it Megaman, we saved the day."

Megaman nods and says,"We did, I just wish we could have eaten those cookies first, Proto."

With this the few people who stayed to be bystanders see an explosion breaks out and consumes them, and a good section of the floating Skull Castle! This damages it severely, and the giant floating castle has explosions break all over it before it heads in to the direction of the ocean that resides next to the city before the biggest explosion yet that causes a massive wave of water crash in to the city!

Ben X and the others are shocked to see their entire surroundings flicker before in moments they return to the present! Ben is trying to piece things together as he says,"What, happened? Was that the end?"

The hologram of Light still standing in the capsule as he says,"More or less yes. To be precise that is the last of what Megaman and Protoman saw. I am sorry for those desiring to witness the aftermath, but since I did not focus on those details that's the best I can show you."

James just clears his throat as he reacts with,"That's ok Doctor Light, I think we got the message quite well."

Lacus looks sad as she says,"Zero, before he was stopped so many people had to suffer. It seems, that no matter how many years past we can't let go of are cruelty."

Cloud then says," True enough Lacus. However, I think that little revealing flash back makes it quite clear why we can't mess up here. By the way, did anyone notice Zero's head near the end was looking like he was empowered by a curse seal of Necrocalcous crystal or something of that kind?"

X nods as he looks troubled and responds with a grim" Yes, I guess that would mean, that Zero in the end was a indirect creation of the powers of Chaos Zannacross Necron? Doctor, even with all of this I don't understand. What happened to you, what happened to Zero, Wily, Megaman, Bass? everyone? "

Light sighs and says," I have answers for those questions to X, they just will have to be without a visual fallow up. I agree that its likely that what at the time I thought was the evil energy Wily uncovered was most likely a fragment of the power of the dark god from what must have been a original robotic servant, however I can not conform that information. Meanwhile, I guess you're curious to see how Megaman and Protoman stand before you."

Megaman nods and says," To be honest Doctor Light I am curious to know myself."

Light chuckles and says,"It's nothing to complicated. Zero's explosion caused you all to be blasted in to the sea. It took some time, nearly a year to find you two. However, with the help of Doctor Cossack I was able to succeeded. However, when I found you two, you were barely alive and there was too little of Duo to even have a hope of being saved. The damage was so sever, that it would take years to repair the damage, and time was not on my side. Megaman, I did not want to tell you but I did not come out of Zero's attack unscathed.

While I had little physical harm the blast Zero unleashed caused me to be contaminated with a decay dose of a unique radiation composed of Zero's energy. I did not even realize its true effect for a while, but I realized that it was slowly causing my body to decay. And despite my research on the subject I could only delay its effects, not cure myself. Because of this I had to work fast to insure everything did not fall apart. Most of all, I did all I could on X, and then trusted the final test program would go safely before I sealed him away."

X then says," But, why Doctor, why did you not finish the work yourself? "

Light sighs and says,"Believe me X, I would have liked to see you awaken more than anything. But, I had to do what I had to do. And after seeing Zero, I knew I had to make sure that you could be trusted. After all, you are the first of your kind, a robot with the ability to truly think for yourself and I had to make sure the diagnostic to test your reliability, your integrity and that you would not become another nightmare to humanity. However, I did what I could to see that one day I could see you again, and that is why you see me now as I am.

As I am now, I have no physical body. I survived by downloading and transferring my brain in to a chip that was sent in to the world network as a data file. It was over seen by Doctor Cossack, and it worked. However, it was not a flawless plan. It took my mind years to adapt to its new surroundings, and by the time I was able to adapt and resume contact with the world, I found X had all ready been awaken by a archaeologist-turned-robot expert Doctor Cain, who despite his good intentions was letting his eagerness create exactly what I feared ! Sadly I knew I had to prepare for X to do what must be done to protect the stability of the world. That's why I began to program and create various armors for him to use to insure his victory. "

Ben smirks and says,"And we can see they are quite effective. Still, how were you able to build them without a body and have no one notice random capsules like this one be all around the world?"Protoman nods and says," That's right, just how were you even able to fix us? And why were we sleeping in Wily 's lair anyway?"

Light just looks up and says,"

I am getting to that. It was not long after I was able to regain my consciousness that I went over a report about a red robot being confronted by the Maverick Hunters leader Sigma. But sure enough Zero somehow survived that explosive conclusion to the previous battle. I was not sure if he somehow repaired himself or Wily had a hand in things, but I tried to fallow the links. Soon enough I did find small traces of Wily influencing events. In fact, I think it was Wily who lured Sigma to face off with Zero and be infected with his newly completed virus. Wily, he one way or another created the Maverick wars all to insure he could rebuild the world in to his new vision no matter how long and how many life's were lost!

However, even though Wily also somehow survived Zero's backstabbing assault, he was severely weakened in both body and mind for a great deal of time. He could only think of his obsession with Zero and power, and so he let other things slide. For example, the place where I built your armors X, and were I replaced you two, was in a secret department in this very lair. This lair even was the one that created the capsules and sent them all over the world. It seems Wily had this lair since before he finished Zero. "

This shocks everyone and Megaman widens his eyes before he says," What? But, why?"

Protoman nods and says," It did seem like you were not thinking right when you decided to build up shop in your own hated enemy's main stronghold doc! If Wily found out we were being repaired here then he would have ruined everything!"

Light chuckles and says,"Maybe, but, this place in fact was the ideal place to work. For one thing, Wily had the most advanced technology around and once I was able to gain control of some of his machines without his knowledge it speeded up the extensive repairs needed on you two, and also allowed me to upgrade all of your abilities. Furthermore, working right underneath Wily's eyes made it the perfect place to work. Wily was and is a man of extreme pride. With all of his focus on his master plan, even after he regained a body and knew I was still around, he would never suspect that he could over look something like that. But the fact is that most of the daily work in this castle is done by his Serv-bots. Even seeing replicas of Megaman and Protoman caused him just to deduct that his machines were creating mere decorations to motivate him.

However, like always, his pride and oblivious to the strength of kindness and compassion will be his final downfall. All right, I have told you all that you need to know. X, Megaman, Protoman, and the Enji. Now that you know the truth, I beg all of you, stop Wily from using Zero to bring his madness on this world and all others once and for all!" Ben nods and looks confident as he says,"

Don't worry about that, it's the job of an Enji Knight to insure the bad guys see their evil plans go down in flames! And since Wily has been working with Kira, and has really gotten on my nerves, there is no way we will let him get away with this!"

X nods and says," He is right. Now that I know the truth about my and Zero's origins, now more than ever I want to free Zero from the cursed destiny Wily placed on him and end this once and for all!"

Megaman nods, but looks conflicted as he says, "Yes, Wily clearly can't be allowed to go on with this. I won't let the madness repeat again! But, can we really do that and save Zero?"

Light smiles and says," I know what you saw in Zero was only the essence of evil Megaman, but your brother is not wrong in trying to save Zero and Axl. Zero at first was driven by the darkness he was empowered. However, when he encountered Sigma that darkness, and the virus was transferred to him. While traces of that Zero remain, the Zero that is X's best friend is true. Zero has been struggling to fight for his true self ever since he met X, and I don't wish to see anyone be used as a pawn of evil."

Megaman then smiles and says," Well, if you believe in him Doctor Light, then I will to! I'll do whatever I can to free Zero from Wily 's control!"

Protoman then sighs and says," Well, this is all important and all. However, I don't think we have any time to waste talking!"

Light nods and says," I know there is not much time left till Wily finishing programming Omega for his ultimate goals. And that is why I only have one more request for you all. Do you see Auto there? Can you bring him in to this capsule?"

Ben and the others see the statue of Light's handy robot and Ben nods before he and Cloud go over and pick him up before Ben says,"Sure thing Doctor Light, but why? Huh?"

As soon as the Enji put him down in the capsule it begins to glow and Light says," All of this pain was caused because of a senseless feud that has existed between me and Wily for centuries. I want to see the end of this feud with my own eyes. Auto, he served me faithfully and helped finish X. He kept working without regard to himself for years, even till he broke down. For his years of service, now I will thank him for it by using him to help me with my wish. "

All of a sudden the image of Light glows, before the capsule shoots a beam in to Auto! Moments later Auto begins to glow himself, till his eyes turn on with a blue color!

A confused James sees Auto move his head around and says,"What, just happened?"

Auto raises his hands, before the face of Light is projected out of his face and he says,"

I transferred my will to Auto to allow me to have a body once more. It's a little clumsy, and I won't be much help in the coming battle. But I still want to support you directly. "

X nods and says," I'll be honored to have you on my side Doctor."

Ben then grins as he says," All right, now with all of these guys joining to our crew we can't fail now!"

Lacus looks delighted as she says," That's right, I am sure working together we will save Zero and Axl in time. Oh?"

Everyone feels the ground shake before the walls glow with energy and a stern Cloud responds with,"Well, that's only going to happen if we stop dilly dallying and hurry! There is nothing more to do here, so it's time we end this."

Light nods and says," I know the layout to where Wily is. Ill led the way and get us away from most of his traps."

Megaman nods and says," Lead the way Doctor Light, we will protect you no matter what! Wily, it's time we finish the battle that you started for good!"

X nods and adds a resloute," Right, Zero, Axl, the Maverick Wars. All of this concludes now, and we will show Wily that we can create our own destiny to grasp the world we want! Everyone, let's go!"

With this Ben and the others nod, and the group exits the room ready to settle this once and for all! However, the settling will have to wait till next time sadly enough. Still, now that Ben, Megaman, X and the others all at last know the truth that links the Megaman and X games, can this information help them make sure history does not repeat itself?

Can they at last end Wily 's ambitions and still save Zero and Axl? The only way to find out is to tune in to the next Tales of the Cosmic Wars! Next time are group rejoins with Cless Cyan and the others before together at last reaching Wily, just as he is completing the finishing touches on Omega! And after Bass and Wily come to a brutal conclusion to their own conflict one way or another Zero at last metamorphosis to his absolute true form, Perfect Zero! And with this Wily unleashes the ultimate form of his master creation on the good guys to start his revenge! While X and Ben what to save Zero, Zero is not making it easy, since it seems the Zero they knew is totally gone, and with his new brutal power brought on by his perfect form, its making it very hard to try and survive, let alone reach out to him! And to top it off Wily himself attacks are heroes!

While no one would expect him to put up much of a fight himself, but the mad doctor shows he was prepared for this day when he shows just how modified his robotic body is! And with the powers to absorb energy attack in to his palms, the downloading of ace martial arts and other forms of combat in to his body, and even several extra metal arms out of his back like Doctor Octopus from Spiderman, he is clearly no pushover! Still, even with this duo assault, are hero's can't afford to fail or Wily will use Perfect Zero's powers to give him control of nearly every robot in the cosmos and cause unparallel chaos! The time for Zero to show who he truly is has come. Is he really the God of Destruction or an ally of justice? To find out don't dare Miss

Chapter 121: The True Heart of the God Of Destruction! It's going to be a blast so see you there! Ah, first another round of Authors notes haha. Hopefully you all enjoyed how I envisioned how the classic Megaman games ended and the X series begins. I know it's not perfect but to me at least it's a lot more fitting of a link then what Capcon sees as the official link. I mean, Doctor Wily just being in jail till he dies? X being created for no reason, Zero being created by Wily and never used? Megaman and the others beings just forgotten in history? Why would the savior of the planet just go off and poof? Why and how could Wily come back as a virus and if he did how would he talk with Sigma? Bah, I said it before and ill said it again, people should at least somewhat care about their work, more then there fans at least. Whatever, before I go in to another rant again ill end it here lol. Once more thanks for the reviews, hope to see more of course, and till next time!
