Volt Kraken Stage
Megaman X with the help of the Hunter Platoon was able to get inside the abandoned factory. He chooses to ride on a Hovercycle for this mission so that he can get to Volt Kraken quicker.
Several Turrets emerged up and fired lasers at X but he dogged the fire while pointing his buster cannon and returned fire at the auto Turrets. After that, he returned focus and ride along the narrow path and platforms leading to his destination.
After he reaches open space his eyes widen when he saw a Junk Golem ready to crush him and his Hovercycle. X jumped up before it could get to him and in midair, he fired several shots at the giant junk bot.
The Junk Golem exploded while X landed on his feet.
*BEEEP*
He received a transmission from Alia, "This is X."
Alia: X! Are you all right? You couldn't walk here because the terrain is too badly damaged. I don't think the Rider chaser isn't going to help you at this point... By the way, did you notice that there are energy items along the way? Those energy items and the door in front of you seem to be corresponding... If you have the item, shoot them at the door. Then the door may be opened.
"Copy that," X said as his switch out his weapon perfect to blasting that door. With a couple of tries, the door burst open.
Alia: You did it! The door has been broken! I wonder what is inside... Proceed with care...
X dashed inside only to see one of Doctor Light's capsules, which surprised him but at the same time not so much...
As he activated the capsule the green holographic image showed Doctor Light.
Dr. Light: This is the program for the head part of the Falcon Armor. Analyze and upload the data to your main memory in a secure area. Once you upload all 4 of the programs, the falcon Armor will be complete. With the head part equipped, you can use your special weapons using less energy. Now, take advantage of your enhanced special weapons and triumph!
X nodded to Doctor Light and walked inside the capsule and equip the head part of the Falcon Armor.
Afterward, he proceeds to the mission at hand, he ran couple levels down.
Alia: A lab scientist is in custody. Save them and let them escape. There might be some cartridges in this laboratory that still works... We want to obtain one, don't we.
"Got it!" X dashed to the rescue. He jumped up and down at the unsuspecting Maverick battle mech with relative ease.
"Thanks, you save me," said the lab scientist relived in seeing Mega Man X.
"No problem, you should head on out," Said X as he handed the scientist a teleport bracelet.
"Right! I had enough of this place..." X beamed the coordinates to Alia for her to teleport the scientist out of the base.
Alia: X, I'm picking up something... It a Repliforce ID signal. Looks like it belongs to Screw-Ball and he is beaming a distress signal. What he's doing here is anyone guesses but you'll have to save him. You should be able to find him in your current path, you might have to hurry though before the Mavericks make him into a bowling ball.
"Roger!" X said, he doesn't mind helping a friend in need but was interested in how Screw-Ball got here in the first place. X knows the servant Droid wanted to become a Hero so that means he's trying to save the day. X could admire that but it can be really dangerous for Droids like him.
X made to the scene were the servant Droid was flailing his floating glove hands at the three Mavericks while protecting a small animal, a cat.
"Hey, bet it your jerks!" The Ball Droid shouted angrily, his LCD face screen showed an angry emoji.
The three Mavericks exchanged glances.
"Did you hear what I said? Scram!" Screw-Ball's LCD displayed a stick tung emoji.
The Mavericks burst out laughing, "Watch out! The Ball chopper of doom is going to get us!"
"Don't mess with us, I learn karate," Screw-Ball made coordinated hand moments like a pro. One Maverick pointed his blaster gun at him, "Enough of this, let's just blast him."
"No, we need hostages. Dynamo's orders," Said the other.
"What harm do we do if we just leave it?" said the third.
While X watches the scene Alia radioed him.
Alia: Yup, that's Screw-Ball alright and it looks like he's guarding a cat. He is a cat person so it's a no brainer that he's here somehow protecting a cat. You'll have to take care of those Mavericks before something bad happen to them.
"Got it!" X nodded and dashed to the Mavericks.
"It X!" they shouted alarmed. X used his buster cannon to take down three Mavericks at once. Screw-Ball jumped in surprise after X took them out in one power move.
"X, heh, I didn't see your there," Screw-Ball said relived, "Thanks for the help but I could of taking care of those guys!"
"Sure," X smiled.
"By the way, this cat right here happens to run away from a nursing home so I followed it all the way here," Screw-Ball explained with a happy emoji while he scoops up the cat.
"I'm glad you're doing your part but Its dangerous here, so I'll have to beam you back to base," X said.
"Oh about that," Screw-Ball made a nervous emoji, "Is it possible that I talk to Russ or Zero, I think I know were Iris's body is."
X's brows frown, "Yea, we know all about it, including Zero." The droid made a shocked emoji, "WHAT, you guys knew!? Does Russ- wait a minute are you making fun of me because if you are then-"
"Um, no actually, quite the opposite in fact," X laughed heartily.
"Oh, well... how was Russ taking it?" Screw-Ball ask.
X, "Signals had not briefed her as far as I'm aware." he said sadly, as he beamed in the coordinates for Screw-Ball and the cat.
"I bet she's going to be stoke that Iris is alive."
"Or upset," Remarked X as he confirmed the coordinates on his helmet. He watches as Screw-Ball and the Cat was whisked away in a beam of light.
Alia: Sounds like the rumors are still active these days... I still don't get why Sigma's spreading more rumors about Iris, what is his game...? Don't worry about me, X just forces on your mission.
"Right," X nodded in agreement.
WARNING!
X became alert, shortly after arriving in Volt Kraken's lair, he looked around for a moment before the Squid Reploid himself made an explosive entrance.
X, "Volt Kraken could you do me a favor?"
"This is how you greet me after so long? No 'Nice to meet you again', or 'I'm sorry'... not even a 'Hello'." Volt Kraken scoffed, "How rude. You have not changed at all."
X slightly confused for a moment but then he remembered something, "I'm sorry about Octopardo..."
Volt Kraken, "I wasn't referring to such an old story. You destroyed him because you are a Maverick Hunter... It's your duty... your mission... Well. I got fed up with the hunter jobs, that's why I quit, not because of Octopardo."
"Please... We have little time left... Give me the Energy Cartridge..." X pleaded.
Volt Kraken laughed, "You are free to take that worthless thing... but what a simpleton you are. Even if you get it you can't change the fate of the Earth!" his eyes turned into a scow, "Every Reploid has been infected by Virus and become..." He then started to malfunction his words, "Ma Ma Ma Mave...ve veR..."
X became alarmed once again, he looked around to see if there are others even Alia didn't warn him yet.
"Gaaahhh!" Volt Kraken screamed.
Mega Man X turned his focus back to his old comrade, shocked, "No! He has been infected, too!"
Volt Kraken started to attack, "Woooo! Maverick Hunter? You will be terminated! Just like you did to Octopardo!" he summoned kilowatts of electricity as he charged up.
X dogged the bolts as he aims his shot at Volt Kraken, he misses.
Volt Kraken floated up and shot more bolts with his tentacles at X. Mega Man X jumped and hovered as he switches to Ice. X fired Ice Cubs at his opponent, he misses again.
"I will destroy you," Volt Kraken shot forwarded his arms as he conjured lightning in his fingertips.
X shield himself from Kraken's attack, he manages to recover. He then returned fire and got a direct hit on Kraken.
The Ice Cube collided at the Squid Reploid's frame, which had him crashing to the wall.
Volt Kraken got back up from the rubble of ice. The Maverick whip out his tentacle at X. X flinched that got it wrapped around his buster cannon arm and the next thing he knew Volt Kraken threw him to the glass of the reactor.
X got back up only see Kraken's relentless attack which he manages to dogged.
"Ice Cubs is one thing but..." X figured that he can convert the Ice Blocks into a freeze ray but he has to aim carefully.
"Hump! And I thought you were the greatest of 'em all!"
X's eyes widen as he saw Volt Kraken flew right at him as they collided both X and Volt Kraken struggled like in a Sumo Wrestling Match.
"You're going down X!"
"Sorry," X aimed his buster cannon at Kraken's scowling eyes, "But I can't lose." Mega Man X fired the freeze ray at a shock Volt Kraken.
X pushed him away after his opponent was frozen in place and switch out his old plasma cannon and begin charging up.
"I'm sorry Kraken... I really am..." X said as he fired a full-on change blaster fire at the frozen Maverick.
*BOOM*
The Squid Maverick was blown to pieces.
Maverick Hunters HQ
Command Center
X: This is Maverick Hunter X to Hunter Base. I got the Energy Cartridge!
"Hunter Base to Maverick Hunter X; we read you! Well done, X I'll beam you back to base!" Alia said as she was typing on her counsel.
"We got an upcoming transmission!" said a Hunter Base Operator, "It's not one of ours."
"Again?" Signals said surprise, "It has to be Prince again," the commander clenched his fist. It was bad enough that the fate of the world rest in their shoulders but now he has to worry about a hostage crisis. He swore that he will keep his promise to the late Colonel but duty must come first for the Planet to survive.
"X and Marty had arrived sir!" Alia announce.
"Send them here at once," Signals said. Alia nodded.
...
X and Marty had arrived at the Center with Signals nodded their arrival.
"What is it, Commander?" Marty asked. The Hunters then turn their attention to Alia.
"Any luck?" Signals asked. Alia shook her head, "Sources is still unknown."
Then suddenly there was an image of a new Male Reploid, dark and white clade, he had a smirk that did sit well with the Hunters.
"Who's this? I've never seen him..." Signals' eyes were wide.
Dynamo cooly smugly took off his red visors, "Nice to meet you, Maverick Hunters. I have no hard feelings towards you, but this is my mission... Before long, I will attack the Hunter Base with Wukong at my side... aw are Mr. X and Mr. Zero there? Please play with me! I'm bored... Don't worry! We'll fight like true sportsmen, hee hee hee. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am a Dynamo. See you soon, Iris says 'hi'!"
The Transmission end just like that.
Signals gritted his teeth, "How dare he... at a time like this!? Should we even attempt to fight against one so arrogant?"
"Dynamo must be Prince's college," X said.
Signals, "Yes it would seem that way... I am concern for Iris but we have to get the last device to finish the Enigma. Zero has already departed to Shining Firefly's base... but his face heavy resistances from Mavericks. As soon as your ready go and back him up.
Marty, you stay here encase Dynamo starts attacking our base."
X, "Yes sir!"
Marty huffed and saluted to her Boss.
