Part Thirteen-Neverending War
"Ah, I was wondering when you..." Doctor Wily began, then saw the blue robot behind
Bass. It was impossible, but there he was.
Despite the beard and shaved head and missing years, Mega Man knew the face of his
enemy. It was Wily. It could be no one else.
"Mega Man."
"Wily."
"I should have known you'd return from the dead to cause me trouble again."
"It ends here and now, Wily."
"I believe we've played this game before, Rock." Wily said, then nodded. "But this time I
brought help." From the sides, Vile and Zero walked out.
"Zero!" Bass said, taking on Vector Phi's voice. "What are you doing?"
"Returning to the side I've always been fated to fight on." Zero shot back.
"Enough talk." Mega Man said, then fired at the two robots. Zero jumped at him and
tackled him, sending him rolling on the ground. Bass fired at Vile, who jumped to the side and
returned fire. Wily quickly ducked for cover behind a support column.
"You're the clone of Break Man, aren't you?" Mega Man asked as the two rolled back
and forth, trying to the best position for the attack.
"You guessed it." Zero shot back, "And I'm the guy who's going to kill you. It's too bad
too, gramps, 'cause you were a good friend...when you were still X, anyway."
"You were a good friend too, Zero," Mega Man said, then kicked him off, "But to save
humanity, I will destroy you, if I have to."
"You think I'm gonna give up?" Zero said, drawing his beam sabre.
"I was kinda hoping that you would."
"Forget it." Zero said, then sliced at Mega Man. The beam scorched Mega Man's armor,
but the Blue Bomber only jumped off Zero and grabbed hold of the handle of the beam sabre.
"What are you doing?"
"Evening the odds." Mega replied, and a blue beam sabre extended from his hand.
"Break Man, look out!" Kor yelled, and Break Man dodged Flash Man's charge. He
grinned at the two, the signatures of the CIGMA virus now on his face. Flash Man fired wildly at
the two, but they easily dodged his strikes. Sigma was obviously meeting a lot of resistance from
Flash Man.
"Cutting beam!" Flash Man yelled, and the beam shot in front of the two robots.
"He missed!" Kor laughed.
"Uh, no, he didn't." Break Man said as he saw the beam circle around them. The floor
beneath them began to creak.
"I think we're goin' down!" Kor yelled as the floor caved in beneath them. Sigma smiled,
and jumped through the hole he had made.
The blast from Vile staggered Bass, and it took him a second to recover his bearings. He
heard rumbling from above, and looked up. To his horror, he saw a large amount of debris
screaming towards Mega Man.
"Look out!" he said, and shoved him out of the way. Only a second later, the debris flew
downward and crushed him. On top, Kor and Break Man looked around very dazed, and seconds
later Flash Sigma jumped down behind them.
"Ah! My trecherous Mega Man clone and Proto Man." Wily said upon seeing them.
"Don't call me that." Break Man warned.
"Hey, I'm offended by being called a clone." Kor retorted. "I've worked hard to establish
my own identity."
"Vile, Sigma-Destroy them!" Wily commanded. He turned to see Vile, who was now
holding his head in obvious pain. Memories rushed back to him. Of the final battle, of how Wily
set a program in him so long ago. To steal the cleansing virus from the lab site, to infect Sigma
with it, and then format his memory. A suicide mission, in an attempt to defeat Mega Man. It had
been Wily all along, he was responsible for all it...
"What are you waiting for?" Wily demanded.
"Vile!" Flash Man said. "This is Lord Sigma commanding you to..." However, the robot
was cut off when a blast from Vile's shoulder cannon blew his head off. He fell to the ground,
destroyed.
"Vile, you have betrayed me!" Wily screamed.
"Only after you betrayed me!" Vile shot back.
"Kids, let's not fight." Zero said, then fired at the vulnerable Vile. The shot blasted a hole
straight through him, and he fell to the ground, mortally damaged.
"Hey Zero," Kor said, making the Reploid turn around, "Catch."
He fired directly at Zero's face, in the same location he had been damaged five hundred
years ago. Now, he would give his own twin the same scar. "Finish it Mega Man!"
Mega Man nodded, then threw his beam sabre at the center of Zero's chest. It impacted
and hit directly on his reactor. The chain reaction sent Zero through Gamma's chest and towards
the pavement below. However, he exploded long before he hit the ground. Mega Man spun
around to see Wily gone.
"He escaped." Mega Man said.
"This suprises you?" Kor said with a grin.
"Vile!" Break Man said, and the three ran over to him. He was still alive, barely.
"M...Mega....I'm sorry...I didn't know..."
"Didn't know what?"
With that, Vile pulled off his helmet. Beneath it was a face with long blonde hair and the
right side of its face scarred like Kor's.
"Zero?" Mega Man asked.
"Yes." he said.
"We...have to destroy the reactor..." Vile said, "But...blasters won't do. It needs a larger
explosion...I can set off...my own reactor..."
"No!" Break Man said. "Doctor Light can fix you."
"Too late..." Vile replied. "I have to set off the reaction...now...destroy Sigma and this
monster...and I have to do it now..."
"Thank you for helping us, Vile." Mega Man said. "I won't forget this."
"Not much time..." Vile said.
"You two get out of here." Mega Man said.
"What are you going to do?" Break Man asked. "You're NOT pulling that crap again."
"I'm not." he said, then looked towards a pile of rubble. "I have to help...a friend."
The two robots could only nod, and left through the hole Zero had made. Mega quickly
threw aside the debris to get to Bass. He could hear the hum of Vile's reactor, and increased the
speed of his digging. He threw aside a large panel and saw the robot, damaged but still moving.
"I thought...you didn't care." Bass said with a grin.
"I don't." Mega Man shot back, picking him up. "But Treble's my buddy."
Bass smiled as Mega Man ran towards the hole to the outside. The explosion went off,
sending the two robots flying outside. Mega Man activated Rush's jets, and the two flew away
just as Gamma Sigma's reaction went off.
"No!" Sigma cried. "I am immortal! I am..." With that, the explosion engulfed him, taking
several evacuated city blocks with him.
