Road of the Warrior, Part Eleven
Part Eleven-Betrayal
The silence reminded Zero of so many ambushes he had walked into in his life. But he
wasn't afraid. After all, he'd been dead before. It was actually quite liberating.
He stepped into the chamber where he had fought all of the robots only a few days ago.
Where he had last seen his friend X. He looked around, expecting activity. But instead the
chamber was completely empty, and devoid of any movement. Or so it seemed.
"Ironic, isn't it, how all things ultimately revert to Zero?" he turned to see a man step out
of the shadows. He had seen him before, save the fact he was now completely bald. He had
seen him just before he had left unwillingly, but he seemed familar in another way as well.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I said it before I left. It's where you got your name, though I'm certain you don't
remember the event. It was five hundred years ago, Zero. The end of the Great War, or whatever
they call it now. You have always known you were different from the rest. Sigma knew it as well...
your "secret", he called it. You probably still remember the day he found you in that cavern, and
released you from your sleep. You became a Maverick Hunter, and eventually their leader."
"Oh really. What happened to you, forget to put on your toupee this morning?"
"After living most of my life without hair going back to it was a hastle." the man shot back.
"But I don't think you came all this way to talk to me about hair."
"Who are you?" Zero demanded. He was growing tired of the mind games.
"I am Doctor Albert Wily, and I created you."
"I don't believe you." Zero shot back and pointed his cannon. "Where's Mega Man X?"
In reply, Wily threw an arm on the ground. "That's all I that's left of the hero."
"I should kill you." Zero growled.
"But you won't. Because your destiny is with me. You will join me once more."
"Like hell I will."
"I am your master, Proto Man." Wily said. Zero stepped back, recognition in those words.
Suddenly, the memories of who he had once been came back. "Ah, now you remember the code
word to revive your memories. And now, as the most powerful robot ever created, you will join me
once more, to conquer this planet."
Zero was silent for a moment. "Yes, father, I shall rejoin you."
"I knew you would, Zero." Wily said with a smile. "Now, all is almost in place. In a few
hours, my final victory will be at hand. Now, we must hurry. We have to go to Maverick Hunter
headquarters."
"Why there?" Zero asked.
"Because we have a revival to attend."
"Mega Man, there's something I haven't shown you yet." Break Man admitted.
"It's okay, Break Man."
"This is worse than all the rest." he admitted, then lifted his hands towards his helmet.
He pulled off the clasps at each side, then pulled it off. Mega Man was shocked as he saw what
he had expected to be the face of his twin.
All of Break Man's hair was gone. Two red triangles extended below his eyes, and a
brown dot was at the top of his forehead. Yet Mega Man instantly recognized the eyes of his
brother as his own.
"It's okay, Blues." Mega Man replied. "We can get you fixed up, I'm sure."
"No, you won't."
Mega Man spun around to see several robots standing behind them, all of them familiar.
Enker, Quint, Saturn, Pluto and Terra, all with one new feature-a large, intricately designed "L"
on their right shoulders. Mega Man jumped in front of his brother.
"Mega?" Enker asked. "We thought you were dead!"
"This is becoming a recurring theme." Mega Man shot back. "What are you doing here?"
"Getting revenge on Break Man. He betrayed us, and killed Doctor Cain, and Roll still
might not make it."
"No..." he heard Break Man mutter.
"Listen, I can explain everything..." Mega Man began.
"We aren't going to listen to anyone." Terra said.
"Except me."
Mega Man turned to his side to see the holographic projection of Doctor Light beside
them. He was somewhat shocked, but after the day he'd had thus far, it really was mundane.
"Break Man was infected with a virus that controlled his actions. He is not at fault. I can
provide you with proof of this. If you bring Roll to me, I can help her."
"This is like totally far out." Quint said.
"Listen, we don't have time to argue." Light said. "I believe Wily may make his move
soon. We have to repair everyone and be ready for it."
"Alright." Enker said. "Quint, help Mega Man get Break Man out of here. I don't want to
see him any more damaged that he already is."
"Thank you." Break Man said. "Glad to see you're staying on the straight and narrow."
"Of course." Enker replied, then looked to the L on his arm. "We're the Light Brigade,
after all."
It began as a low rumbling underneath the Maverick Hunter headquarters, and Binary
didn't think much of it. When it increased, he was certain it was an earthquake. Then it increased
once more, and the ground below him began to crack. He jumped out of his desk just in time to
avoid the gigantic spike that came up through it. He turned to see what had caused it, expecting
some kind of vehicle. But, to his horror, he saw it was a gigantic fist.
"Perimeter breached. Maverick Reploids attacking headquarters." the computer warned.
"All Maverick Hunters, we are under attack. Repeat, we are under attack!" Binary
screamed through the intercomm, then ran out of the room as the gigantic fist continued to rip
through the floor. He ran out into the hall, and face to face with several robots, more humanoid
than animal, like most mavericks. One fired an electrical beam at him, and he flew back against
the wall. The robots walked towards him, but they were suddenly picked off by blaster fire from
behind him. He turned to see Kor, blowing smoke off his cannon.
"C'mon chief, this place is about to go." he said. "Send out an evacuation order and let's
get out of here."
"All Hunters, evacuate headquarters. Repeat, evacuate headquarters!" Binary warned,
then followed Kor down the hallway towards the exit. More of the robots blocked their path, and
they turned to see more behind him.
"We're trapped. What now?"
"We make our own exit." Kor said, then fired at the wall. A hole was blasted in it, and Kor
grabbed Binary and jumped out.
"Retro rockets." Kor said calmly as they flew towards the ground. Jets on Kor's feet
sparked to life, and they landed safely next to the other Mavericks, who were watching their
headquarters in awe. All of the robots quickly ran out as two fists ripped through the sides, and
something began to rise out of it. The form quickly became unmistakable. It was a massive
humanoid robot.
"Look at his eyes." Binary said, and everyone did so. They turned solid blue, and a red
triangle formed underneath each one.
"Now Monsteropolis, feel the power of GAMMA SIGMA!"
