Hello readers! I bet most of you thought that last chapter was going to be the last. I hate to tell you, but this is the last chapter. The next fan fiction won't be out for a while since I want to have a couple of chapters written before I start uploading it. Hopefully everyone is enjoying this and if anyone has questions, feel free to message me and I'll respond as soon as I can. This chapter is a bit different from the rest, but it ties with something else in future fan fictions. Anyway, good-bye for now and I will try to get more up soon!
Location: Maverick Hunter HQ-Lounge Area
The conflict with Sigma is over and I'm sitting in the lounge area of Maverick Hunter HQ looking at the note I received a month ago. I'm depressed about not being able to find any information about sister and finding a way home. Since that is the case, I have to live life at Maverick Hunter HQ for the time being. Assuming days pass by at the same rate in my dimension as it does in this one, the day is December 25th, Christmas. I bet my family is probably wondering what happened to Shinoa and me. I look up from the note and X and Zero are standing in front of me. I jump from being startled because I didn't sense them near me. Both of them let out a chuckle from my reaction.
Me: That's not funny. I was in a deep thought about this note!
Zero: Again? What makes you think you will find the answers that you're looking for just by reading it again?
Me: It's not the message I'm in thought about. It's who sent it. You said that it wasn't there the morning you checked on me.
Zero: I never thought of that.
Me: Plus, something else is bothering me.
X: What is it?
Me: It's Christmas day in my world and I'm a little depressed that I'm not with my family. I'm also depressed that I can't figure out where Shinoa is.
Zero: What's Christmas?
Me: Christmas is the day out of the year where all families get together and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the gift of giving. It's the only time out of the year where my family gets together and has fun.
X: I see. How would you feel if we did some training?
Me: I would like that.
Zero, X, and I walk out of the lounge area and to the elevator. Before getting in the elevator, the intercom sounds on.
Navigator: X, Zero, and Fech, come to the Command Center right away.
We step in the elevator and we go to the Command Center. The door opens and I see that the navigator is in shock. Something incredible must have happened or is happening now. She turns to us.
Navigator: There has been another energy fluctuation and its energy signature is the same as when Fech entered this dimension.
Me: What! Where is it at!
Navigator: Let me pinpoint the location. Isn't this ironic?
X and Zero: What is it?
Navigator: The location is at the same coordinates as Sigma's Fortress. I want all of you to go there and investigate.
X and Zero: Roger!
Me: You should go without me. I'll get in the way.
Everyone looks at me with a surprised look.
Navigator: What's wrong, Fech? You're usually the first person to want to go on missions.
Me: I don't want to talk about.
Navigator: Let me remind you that you have a duty as a Maverick Hunter, or did you forget that?
Me: I'm not feeling my best right now mentally.
Zero: Think of it this way: You said that you need to find a way home and since your sister found a way to escape the explosion a month ago, maybe you might find a clue while searching this time.
Me: How can I be sure?
X: The energy signature of the fluctuation is the same as when Zero and I first found you. That would give me all of the reason to go!
I smile.
Me: You're right. Thank you all for the support. What are we waiting for? We have a mission to complete!
Navigator: Here are the coordinates. Fech, don't do anything reckless. I have a bad feeling about this.
Me: I just realized it could be that mysterious guy! He is very powerful, so we should stay cautious.
Navigator: I hope you're cautious of me because I'll beat the crap out of you if you don't go now!
All of us jumped back from the sudden outburst.
X, Zero, and I: Roger! Transport, Sigma's Fortress!
We begin to teleport to the ruins of Sigma's Fortress.
Location: Sigma's Fortress (Ruins)
We arrived at Sigma's Palace. I've never seen what it's supposed to look like after it was destroyed. It's just how I thought though: crumbled building parts everywhere. There is nothing special about the ruins themselves. We see the portal at the center of the ruins and I see something familiar step out.
Me: Seriously! Give me a freaking break!
It turns out it was Pedobear! *gets shot* I mean, my brother! *gets shot again* Okay, this time it's for real. It turns out that comes through the portal, but he looks different somehow. Normally, he looks like X except he has his own insignia on his chest, which looks like two red trapezoids in a black circle, and has a helmet with yellow on it and yellow eyes. The one in front of us was a darker shade blue. This didn't sit right with me. All of us are surprised at the fact that it was another Megaman.
X: Who is that?
Me: It's another Megaman from a different dimension, but something seems different about him.
Zero is standing there studying this mysterious being.
Me: Are you ?
What looks like EXE looks at me with a blank stare. It seems like he was in a state of hypnosis or something. He begins to speak, but pauses for a little bit after each word.
EXE: Must destroy Fech!
Me: He isn't himself! Use caution because he is a powerful enemy even without an operator!
Zero: Are you sure this Megaman wouldn't become evil all of a sudden?
Me: That happened once, but that wasn't his fault. I'll explain everything later.
EXE holds out both his hands. One hand was pointing at X and the other at Zero. EXE moves each hand back towards him. I see debris fly toward X and Zero. I try to warn them, but I'm not fast enough. They get hit with numerous amounts of debris. They both got knocked out. This is definitely not the that I know. I think he used a poltergeist chip without specifying it.
Me: EXE, what happened to you? You're not usually like this! Also, when can you use chips without saying the name?
EXE: Cannon! Battle-Chip In and download!
Me: That answers my question!
His right arm transforms to a hand cannon. He aims at me and shoots at me several times, but I dodge while I run over to grab Zero's Z-Saber. I finally got close enough to grab it and I use it to slice the remaining bullets away. After the last slice, I see EXE a V-shape sword on his arm. I'm amazed at how quick he can get another chip to activate.
Me: I'm impressed at your chip activation time.
EXE: Sonic Boom!
EXE swings his V-shaped sword and a sword beam come right toward me. I dodge it by jumping in the air with plenty of room. I look back towards EXE and I see another sonic boom coming toward me. I swing the Z-Saber and sonic boom disappears. I land on the ground and I could see the he was angry.
EXE: Time to end this! Spreader! Triple-Chip In and download. Program Advance! Hyper Burst!
His arm turns into machinegun-like arm with multiple holes in it. He aims towards me. I stand up and he shoots the hyper burst at me. He fires! The attack shoots a huge amount of bullets towards me that hits everything in his eyesight. I swing the saber and that causes an explosion. I'm sent flying backwards from the explosion and more of the Hyper Burst hit me. I collapse on the ground lifeless. EXE walks over to me and nudges me with his foot. I hold my breath and try to hide the fact that I'm still alive. He opens up a communication window.
EXE: The job is done, master.
Voice: Well done. Now return to me!
EXE: Alright. , out!
He closes the transmission window and I stab him through the chest using the Z-Saber. A look of surprise and pain appears on his face.
EXE: How are you still alive!
Me: I was faking it!
EXE: Now my master will come and finish you off.
He collapses to the ground and disappears in a black flame. That's not how netnavis like him were supposed to disappear. This led me to the one conclusion that I thought since I first saw him: He was a fake! Right after he disappeared, a new portal appeared. This portal was completely black. I sense a great power from the portal. It's almost scary even! Finally, I see a thing that come out and it surprises me more than the fake . The being has shoulder length blond hair and blue skin. He was in a gray and white outfit with what I think are black gloves on his hands. He also had 4 separate golden wings with 2 little blade-like feathers per wing. It turns out the voice I heard through the face 's communication window was familiar. His master could recreate some of the most powerful beings that he's come into contact with at will. This creatures name was Sirius.
Me: How is this even possible! That power is...is...definitely over 9000!
Sirius: It seems when you entered this dimension, the energy emitted distorted the space time continuum, which let me break free of my prison 200 years earlier than expected. I came to find the source of that power and find you, boy. It also seems that you defeated my pawn. Not an easy feat. You interest me. How about you swear your allegiance to me and I will spare your life.
Me: Why would I do that? I still have my own personal mission to complete!
Sirius: Do you mean about finding your sister?
Anger starts to flow through me.
Me: How did you know?
Sirius: I saw how you beat Sigma. He was a coward to think he can control people through the method he was going to use.
Me: I think you know where my sister is!
Sirius: At this moment, I do not, but it will not take me very long to find her.
Me: All I have to do is beat you in battle so you will tell me where Shinoa is!
Sirius: That is if you can even hurt me. Just to let you know, I know all of your attacks!
Me: It doesn't matter! I have to defeat you and to be able to find Shinoa!
Sirius: If you join me and let me copy your data, I can assure you that I have a way for your wish to come true.
Me: I've already said no deal! I have a feeling that defeating you will give me the answers that I've been searching for the past month for!
I start by swinging the saber to perform a sonic boom. Of course, he blocks the attack by summoning some weird glass-like panels. I teleport in front of him and slash, but he phases out and away about 20 feet.
Sirius: Is this all the power that you have? I can't believe that you beat my perfect clone with that power.
Me: What do you mean by perfect?
Sirius: He has all of the powers and abilities that the original has up to the point of beating the Cybeasts.
Me: The clone may have 's power, but it doesn't have his spirit and the willing to protect others. That's what makes people strong!
Sirius: Don't make me laugh!
Me: Let me show you!
I swing my sword to do a sonic boom, but I teleport behind Sirius before executing the attack. Instead of doing a sonic boom, I slashed at him three times before he reacted. He actually took some damage from that attack.
Sirius: It seems that you got a lucky shot on me. It will never happen again.
Me: Don't be too sure of yourself. The real battle begins now!
His wings break apart from his body. I see them start to fly in front of Sirius separately. I launch the same amount of wings as Sirius and they collide in the air, but his survive somehow!
Sirius: Did you think that you can copy my powers and be on my same level!
I prepare for the lasers that the wings are about to shoot at me. They start shooting. The lasers are coming at me at an immense speed and surprised me at first, but I'm dodging them all. Then, out of nowhere, one of the wings hit me in the back and the lasers start to hit me. That hurt a lot! I collapse from taking all the damage. Sirius comes closer to me.
Sirius: Now do you see why I can't be beaten? I am god.
Me: The last person I saw whom said that they were god died without knowing there limitations.
Sirius: How dare you defy this god!
I see Sirius is charging a laser with his right hand. I couldn't move. I took too much damage from the laser attack. I close my eyes and see the memories that I've had throughout my childhood coming to me. This is what having your life flashed before my eyes feels like. This sucks! I can't do anything about it! Then, I see the last Christmas I had with my family. We were so happy that day.
Me: I can't give up. They are all counting on me and they don't even know it. If I had the energy to fight more, I wouldn't be here about to die. I can't even figure out what happened to Shinoa. I'm sorry for letting all of you down!
I look to the ground accepting defeat. Then, I hear a voice.
X: Don't give up! We still have a chance to beat him!
Then, I hear a shot hit Sirius and he jump backwards a little ways. It turns out that X and Zero were alive even though they were damaged a bit.
X: Are you okay?
Me: Just take a look at me. I'm barely able to stand!
Zero: He's fine. Who is this guy?
Me: This is Sirius. He's the master of that fake that came through that portal. He is Sigma's master also known Sigma's ally. The reason why he came to be was my fault too.
X: How do you know?
Me: The energy fluctuations caused a rip in the space time continuum, thus awakened him 200 years earlier than expected.
Sirius: How do you know that I was Sigma's ally?
Me: A mysterious person spied on you doing one of your conversations with Sigma.
Sirius: I thought I sensed another presence during that conversation.
Me: Anyway, I think it's about time I recover my energy.
Sirius: I know you can't recover your energy. You don't have that power!
A surprised look came over his face. I think he realizes that I do have that power.
Me: It's all thanks to you that I have this power. So, I should thank you for it. Now, Chaos Unison, Meddy Chaos!
A Sailor Moon type sequence begins. *gets shot* An purple and black electronic-like nurse outfit materialized onto my body. I start to charge the buster. The aura has to be released at the right time when it's big and purple to be able to recover my energy or the darkness inside me will materialize and begin fighting me. The aura changes from being small and green to big and purple. I release it at the big and purple state and the aura covers my entire body. I start to recover energy. After I fully heal, I dismiss the chaos unison and return to normal. I stand up and virtually unharmed.
Sirius: How could you! You never even touched EXE!
Me: Not necessarily. Right when he was ending the transmission, I stabbed him in the chest using the Z-Saber. That one touch gives me the ability to use all of the skills and powers that the one I touches has.
Sirius: He was a fake, so how did you get all of his powers!
Me: Do you remember what you told me? "He has all of the powers and abilities that the original has up to the point of beating the Cybeasts." One simple touch is all I need to copy powers, and since I sliced you with the Z-Saber, I now have a copy of your power as well!
He laughs very loudly.
Sirius: It seems that I've underestimated you. Time to finish you off for good!
All of his wings come together in his hands. He's about to shoot a huge laser that will probably hurt a lot more than the lasers from earlier. I turn to X and Zero.
Me: X, Zero, we have to combine our attacks if we even want to stop this attack. If we don't this, all that we know of will surely be destroyed.
X and Zero: Understood. Accessing Limit Breaks!
X changes from his traditional blue armor to a white armor with some red, yellow, and blue on it. It's his full armor from Megaman X1. Zero changed from his red armor to black armor. Apparently, that makes him more powerful.
Me: Time for me to power-up then! Gregar Beast-Out!
I turn into how looked with Gregar Beast-Out. I look like a cyber-wolf and I was green all over. I even had a green tail! X and Zero are charging their busters and both auras have reached the purple level, which is the highest. I start charging the Beast-Out aura. It's green at first, but quickly changed to red. Now all of our attacks are charged, but so is Sirius's attack.
Me: This is it. The last attack!
X: We still have to work on bringing peace to this planet!
Zero: Not only that, we're fighting for all of life in other dimensions as well.
Me: We can't fail here or everything will be destroyed!
Sirius: You cannot destroy me, the one who has the power of a god!
All: Fire!
Sirius shoots his laser at the same time we did. Our shot combines and the colors from all three of our attacks change to white. The laser also gets big enough to equal Sirius's laser in size. His attack looks like a multicolored laser that was as big as my body. When the lasers collide, they stall for two seconds before exploding. I took this chance and dashe forward and used the claws from the Gregar Beast-Out to cross-slash Sirius through his body. Sirius didn't see the attack coming and didn't expect it, so he took all of the attack. He takes massive damage and starts to dematerialize.
Sirius: How could I have been beaten?
Me: I told you. Our fighting spirits give us the power to move on even in the worst situations.
Sirius: I'll have to remember this for the future.
A black portal opens and he goes into the portal. The Beast-Out form finishes and I collapse on the ground.
Location: Maverick Hunter HQ-Infirmary
I wake up and find myself in the Infirmary in Maverick Hunter HQ. I see X and Zero by my bed. I lean up towards them.
X: Fech, how are you feeling?
Me: I feel well rested. How long was I out?
Zero: Six days.
Me: It's almost the start of a new year.
X: Fech, let's go to the dining hall. We have something to show you.
Me: Am I allowed to leave the infirmary?
Zero: If you said that you feel well rested, then it will be fine.
X and Zero grab me and drag me out of the infirmary.
Location: Maverick Hunter HQ-Dining Hall
X and Zero drug me to the Dining Hall. They open the door and I find a feast of food with every Maverick Hunter in here. I'm overwhelmed with feelings of surprise, happiness, and sadness at the same time.
Everyone: Merry Christmas and a happy new year, Fech!
Me: You guys didn't have to go to all of this trouble for me!
Zero: You said that you were depressed about not being with your family, so we scanned you memories to find out what you usually do around Christmas time. We figured it would be just as good.
Me: Aren't you guys worried about Sirius at all? Wait, you did what to me?
Zero: We damaged him pretty good and there was no trace of him left. I don't think we'll see him for a very long time.
X: We'll be stronger when he comes back too!
Me: Thanks everyone, but let me go get something first before all of us eat.
I went to the infirmary to get that note that was left on my chest a month ago. After I got the note, I went the entrance room of the Maverick Hunter HQ. It was a huge room with a door in the center of the room on one wall between staircases on both sides of the room. Desks are right beside the door I just came out of and huge entrance doors are directly across from desk, stairs, and where I was. I move to the center of the room where a MH was in a circle. I guess that was the Maverick Hunter logo. I look at the note.
Me: I guess I really couldn't find where you were. I'll keep looking until I find a way to save you!
A figure appeared in front of the entrance and phased through the doors. It was the mysterious person still in his robe!
Me: What do you want?
?: I'm impressed. I didn't figure you were powerful enough to take out Sirius.
Me: Sirius isn't defeated. He's just severely weakened.
?: I see. Are you still trying to figure out the note that I left still?
I'm startled by this statement.
Me: That was you that left that note!
?: I thought you were smart. I guess I'll have to explain what happened after you defeated Sirius. I saw the whole fight.
Me: Then why didn't you help out!
?: I was still studying your potential. Anyway, after the fight, X and Zero were so worried about you that they quickly brought you back here. Little did they know that some data was left at the spot Sirius was dematerializing.
Me: What can you do with that data?
?: You're getting on track. The data can only be used once and it's very risky if not used right.
Me: Tell me what it does!
?: Combining the data with Sirius's power lets the holder of the data to go to any world that you want. There is one problem with that though.
Me: My guess it'll take me to a random world, am I right?
?: Exactly. I wanted to tell you the risks before using the data. I can also see that you believe you sister is alive.
Me: That's because she is!
?: You have a good connection with her because you're right on that account also.
Me: Do you know which world she's in and how do you know that she's alive?
?: I do not, but I do know if you're trying to find a specific world or person hard enough, the data will link you to that world.
Me: How do you know all of this?
?: Let's just say I've overheard some conversations. I better take my leave before I'm mistaken as an enemy.
Me: Thanks for telling me this information.
?: All I have to say is keep fighting because you don't know what will be in the other world.
The mysterious person vanished in thin air. The mysterious data was dropped on the ground. It looked like a white colored dark chip with a blue ball in the center instead of purple. I pick it up. At that time, X and Zero come from the door by the stairs.
X: There you are. We've been looking for you.
Me: I'm sorry. I took a little detour.
Zero: I hope that helped.
Me: It did. I found my answer!
I show X and Zero the mysterious data and explained what just happened.
Zero: So this will take you to where your sister is?
Me: If I wish for it strong enough, yes.
X: What are you waiting for?
Me: I still have a meal to get to!
X: I guess you're right. Let's go.
We go back to the dining hall together. I get everyone's attention.
Me: Everyone. I have great news: This will be my last meal here. After everyone is done, I'll be at the entrance to go find Shinoa! Let's have the best feast ever!
Everyone: Yeah!
After the feast, everyone gathered at the entrance. I was in front with X, Zero, and the navigator beside me.
Me: I guess this is it everyone. Never give up and do your best. I might somehow find my way back here and whip you guys into shape!
The whole crowd is cheering me on as I hold the mysterious data in front of my chest and think, "Shinoa!" I throw the data in front of me and a portal appears. I turn to look at everyone that I have called comrade and friend for the time I first arrived here. Navigator, X, and Zero walk up to me.
Navigator: Fech, you have done well and helped us with so many things. Please don't forget what you have done since we will not forget you.
X: Fech, you are an extraordinary warrior and I have learned many things from you. Take care and I hope you find what you are looking for.
Zero: Fech, since the moment I first saw you, I knew you were not the average human. It was a real honor to have met you. Take the Z-Saber. I think you will need it.
Me: Why are you giving this to me? You will need it in the future!
Navigator: That's no big deal. We have all of the data we need to recreate the Z-Saber.
Me: If I would've known that, I would've asked to keep this one from the beginning!
Navigator: It's all right. It's time for you to rescue your sister!
Navigator, X, and Zero step back to the crowd.
Me: It has been an honor fighting alongside all of you. Never forget that the bond everyone shares. I know I'll always carry it with me. Now, I have a mission to complete! Goodbye!
I start crying as I turn around to walk into the portal. It looks like the portal I first walked through to get to this dimension. Everyone is still cheering for me. I wonder where I was going to be transported to, if I'll find my sister, and will my powers be enough to stop any new foes. I step into the portal holding the Z-Saber in my right hand and walk further into the portal. As I walk further and further, I could hear the cheering less and less until I couldn't hear them anymore. This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life!
Voice: And...done!
Me: I think I'll take a break before my next volume!
Voice: Do you think I should give spoilers?
Me: I think the netnavi contest gives it away!
Voice: True...
Me: By the way, you are fired, Voice!
Voice: Finally! I'm done!
I shoot Voice with a flamethrower.
Me: I bet that isn't what you thought at all!
