MegaMan X2
Part 2: The Eight Mavericks
Chapter 4: Sponginess
MegaMan X came out of his warp. He stood before Dr. Cain. Cain must have been waiting patiently for him.
"Wow, that was quick!" he said.
"That was a pretty easy maverick. He wasn't one of their Generals, was he?" asked X.
"No, he wasn't a General." replied Cain.
"Now, I've ran a scan on all of the Mavericks that have emerged and my computer reccomends that you go after Wire Sponge first. He's running some king of Weather Control operation. Be careful, X," instructed Cain.
"I'll keep that in mind." With that, Maverick Hunter Mega Man X, who had almost single-handedly stopped the First Maverick Uprising, warped to Wire Sponge's stage, Weather Control.

Wire Sponge chuckled to himself. He knew that if his Weather Control operation succeeded, he could control the weather in all of Japan, then he could use it on Asia, then the whole East, then the world. He knew that if the operation failed, though, they would have one less Maverick Operation to rely on.
And one less Maverick General.

X warped in to the Weather Control Stage. He looked around, getting a feel for it. He decided to practice some skills, so he immediately wall jumped to the left. What he didn't count on, though, was finding a secret ledge, which contained a Heart Tank. X plugged it in, and felt his Systems' Life Bar increase by two points.
This stage held several "Weather Balls" as X called them, in small rooms. Since all X had was a low-powered X-Buster, no effect took place by destroying them.
Soon he came to rocketing platforms over spikes. He got on the second one, and he hurried, because he knew that it would start raining soon. Once it got close to maximum height, he slid down the left side of the platform a little bit, then Dash Jumped left and turned right, hitting the gray walls of the area above him. He climbed up there and received a Sub-Tank. These Sub-Tanks were different from the last Maverick Uprising, because, when X was at full health and he received an energy pellet, the Sub-Tank would begin to fill up, just like in the last Uprising. This one, though, would restore just a few energy points less than full health.
He continued through the stage until he got to the boss door. He opened it and went inside.
Wire Sponge faced the doorway. X immediately released a powered X-Buster shot he had been charging. The Maverick was wounded, but far from defeated. First, Wire Sponge pulled himself up to the ceiling with a streching hand. X charged up his X-Buster, then jumped and released. It hit right on target. Wire Sponge fired small projectiles at X, which were easily dodged.
Sponge then dropped to the ground, and fired his hand at X. X wall jumped, dropped down to the other side, then fired. Another direct hit.
Sponge cursed, his first two weapons had been defeated. He'd just have to use his last, and strongest, attack.
He turned red with fury. On his command, the defense systems immediately fired lightning in three seperate places in the room. X was hit. Sponge allowed himself a grin. He did it again, but this time X went to the complete other side of the room. The attack missed, and X fired. Sponge died. X won.
X reached out his hand to Sponge's. He pulled up his weapons system menu and saw that he had a new addition to his arsenal. The Strike Chain.
X warped out.
