Couple things before I start:
-I don't know much about Dr Wily
-I don't know much about Zero from the Megaman X series besides what they tell me in X5 and X6 and a few stories I read on the 'net
-I assume all navis are sentient
-I don't know the teacher's name
-It is important that Megaman not fight the second versions of enemy navis and travel deep in the internet for this story to work well
-I assume that navis can't be cut apart a little at a time, they need to be totally destroyed(can't slice navis arm off or blow hole in them, need to totally destory them) they can still receive damage though
-I don't know much about Bass
Disclaimer: I don't own Megaman Battle Network.
Chapter 8
The Battle Begins!
"Ready everyone?" Lan asked. His friends, Mayl, Yai, Bit, and Dex nodded. "Plug in!" Lan shoved the cord in to the correct slot along with his friends.
"I'm connecting you to the network," Mr Hikari reported, typing furiously typing on his computer.
Today was the day, the day the final battle with Bass was planned. The entire group was gathered around Mr. Hikari's computer in the Government Complex. From there, they could easily travel across the internet to the hidden location.
The area they arrived at was not well-maintained, to say the least. Cracks covered the floor, the back ground was giving off a dull white light even though it appeared black. The white tiled floor seemed to stretch on endlessly.
"Watch out!" Megaman raised his Buster Cannon and began shooting. Already, a small group of high leveled viruses started thier assault. The first to reach them were the Satellites, with remote controled units covering any escape routes. The viruses surrounded them, forming an odd circle.
"Roll Flash!" Roll attacked with her the straps on her helmet, deleting an electric virus. "There's too many of them!" She avoided a swipe from a golden knight virus and kicked it aside.
Gutsman roared furiously as he punched through his enemies. Raising his fists, he slammed it in to the ground, creating a shockwave of energy that grounded quite a few viruses.
"I don't think I can keep this up, my lady," Glyde was taking full advantage of the Dream Aura and Mega Cannon chips. Even though he had a long ranged weapon, the viruses edged closer and closer. Even Glyde, the only non-fighter class navi present, knew these viruses were strong enough to penetrate his sheild.
Zero jumped up high in to the air, landing on a remote controlled enemy. He plunged his sword in to it, deleting it immediately. Before Zero could even drop down to the ground however, an electric Sattellite rammed on to his back, knocking him away from the other navis. Zero cursed as the electricity hit him full force, he landed on his stomach and immediately delete the virus with a slash of his sword. He got up and saw that he was seperated from his friends by a whole squad of viruses. "Crap,"
Suddenly, the ground tilted over to one side. A hole had appeared under the rapidly shrinking platform. Navis and viruses alike began to slide off the platform. As Zero watched, all the viruses and navis slid off the platform, Megaman being the last one to fall. They fell through the dark hole, destination unknown. The only one last was Zero himself, as the platform righted itself.
"Bit, what do I do now?" Zero turned to his operator.
Before he could answer, however, the sound of a blaster alerted Zero of an enemy. Zero leapt aside, the blast exploding the area where he was standing seconds before. Smoke billowed out of the explosion. Emerging from the smoke was Bass himself, with a smoking buster cannon.
"So we finially meet, *brother*!" Bass spat at the word brother. A taunting grin appeared on his face.
"Brother?"
"We were both created by Dr. Wily. Come, join with me and take over the world!" Bass extended his hand out towards Zero. Zero turned and looked at the extended limb.
"Never!" Zero answered. He suddenly drew his weapon and leaped at his evil brother.
"So be it! Human-loving fool!" Bass raised his cannon and fired. The shot knocked Zero back was a powerful explosion.
"No! Zero!" Bit screamed. He searched through the available chips in his hand. Stopping at the correct one, he slid it in the designated slot on his PET.
"You're no match for me!" Bass cackled and fired another shot. Zero braced himself for another hit. However, right before the attack connected, an energy sheild appeared before him. The attack was stopped but the barrier dissipated instantly.
Bass was surprised by the sudden shield but this was far from over. He fired rapidly against the red navi, deciding against his charged shot for now. Zero dodged them with ease and slashed at the dark navi. The attack connected, getting a growl from Bass. Zero stabbed the saber at him again but Bass, ever ready, grabbed on to Zero's. They struggled with each other for the control of the saber.
"Battle Chip: Attack +20, slot in!" Bit slid the chip in.
Zero could feel his strength suddenly increasing, he brought the saber striaght down. It ran through Bass from head to toe, obliteratering a large amount of energy. Bass growled angrily, he kicked at the red navi's hand, making him drop his weapon. Grabbing him by his neck, Bass had Zero right where he wanted him. "No one can beat me! You should have taken my offer even though you're not worthy of it!" Zero was thrown back.
Bass glowed with intense energy as he cackled madly. He was going berserk in his madness, his power increasing as he got angrier. His hands glowed as he raised them high over his head. A gigantic wave of energy appeared in front of him, engulfing a helpless Zero in it. Zero struggled to keep on top of it but it seemed hopeless. He felt his energy ebbing away. An explosion signaled the end of the attack. A battered Zero was left on the floor.
Bass roared furiously as he rocketed forward, grabbing on to his foe. He started out with a punch in the gut followed by a kick. Attack after attack hit, Bass's limbs moving in an unseen blur.
"Zero, no! What do I do?" Bit cried. Looking at the chips in his hands, an idea came to mind but he had to be quick. Connecting the chips the together, he slid them all in to his PET.
"Ahh!" Zero was thrown to the floor by Bass's last kick.
"You're pathetic!" Bass insulted, as he walked slowly to his beaten opponent. He gripped Zero by the head and pulled him up until his feet were dangling in the air.
"Now, Zero! Do it now!" Bit urged his partner. Zero slowly turned to him and nodded once.
"What?" Bass turned his attention to Bit on the floating screen.
"Life Sword!" Zero's right hand glowed and took the shape of a powerful sword. He rammed it through Bass's chest.
"What?! What is this?!" Bass cried out as the sword went through him. He screamed in pain as he felt energy drain from him. Bass's grip on Zero loosened, allowing Zero back down. Zero landed painfully on his knees. "How...? I was created by and for Dr. Wile himself...," his voice was barely above a whisper.
"I was built for someone much more important than himself," Zero said. With those words, Bass fell. His form exploded in to digital data and seemed to be blown away. Zero smiled to himself as the last of the black dust-like data disappeared. He turned to his partner and flashed a thumbs-up.
With a reassuring smile, Zero collapsed on to the ground.
Meanwhile...
Megaman and friends screamed as they fell through the darkness. No one knew what was awaiting them. The darkness was all, not an inch of light was available. Megaman could still feel himself falling, it seemed to last an eternity. Roll could feel herself shivering with fear. Even the normally fearless Gutsman was screaming in terror.
Finially, they landed on solid ground with an audible crash. "Ugh! Ow ow ow ow!" Megaman shouted in pain. His landing was painful, to say the least. However, it would seem that they have all survived. The virus also survived, beginning thier attack the moment they landed. They caught the navis off guard, delivering a harsh punishment.
"Come'on everyone! We got to keep fighting!" Megaman stood up, despite his injuries. His friends slowly but surely followed. The viruses surrounded them, making a circle of multi-colored of odd shapes.
"We're surrounded on all sides!" Roll shouted. She prepared herself for another Roll Flash.
"No choice but to keep going!" Megaman said. He took aim with his buster cannon.
"Guts!" Gutsman raised his over-sized fists.
"Here they come!"
