Mega Girl Y3, a story about an alternate Mega Man X universe
By Persona.
Warning: English is my second language, still I'm sure you'll be able to read and enjoy this story.
Author's note: Before reading this, you should know that this fic is a "parallel universe" in which the one that choused to become a battle robot was Roll instead of Rock.
The main difference would be Roll's personality, being a girl, she always ponders if there could be another way instead of fighting all the time.
But the most significance difference takes place in the events that you know as Mega Man X. In Mega Girl Y things go differently in many ways.
I time you will know of what happened before Mega Girl Y was placed on the testing capsule, but not now, (If you know now, it will spoil the rest of the story).
Well, enough with the explanation already! Let's begin with the story!
Mega Girl Y
Part 3
Chapter 1: Dr. Doppler.
It has been years since the last attack lead by Sigma, Maverick activity has been neutralized, by the reploid scientist Dr. Doppler. The world was entering a new golden era.
Because of this, Maverick Hunters activities were very unusual and almost null. If there are no mavericks, there is no need for the Maverick Hunters.
Y was now the leader of the 17th unit, and Zero was the leader of a special #0 class unit. In this last unit (#0) was hunter rookie Chip.
Chip is a black armored reploid, and he is very special for Zero and Y.
Why is he so special? The reason is simple, Chip was built by Y and Zero, in other words, Chip can be, and is, considered Y's and Zero's son.
Suddenly, all of the alarms in Maverick Hunters H.Q. start up. A new maverick riot is rampaging in Doppler Town, All sources at Maverick Hunter headquarters point to Doppler himself inciting the revolt. The anti-virus that had met such praise was merely a placebo.
All hunters go to Doppler town to fight the maverick revolt.
Zero is in Doppler Town, battling some Mavericks when his communicator begins to beep.
Zero: "This is Zero."
Communicator: "This is Maverick Hunters H.Q. We are under attack! That riot was a decoy! The attacker seems to be Doppler force! All units return to base immediately and return fire."
Zero: "We are on our way!"
Zero turns to Chip, he's shooting a few maverick tanks.
Zero: "Chip! Let's go! The H.Q. is under attack!"
Chip: "Sure dad. I'm ready when you are!"
Zero: "Chip! I told you to call me sir when you are on duty. Not dad."
Chip: "Oops, sorry da ... sir."
Y jumps in, firing at some mavericks at their left.
Y: "Did you heard the message?"
Zero: "Yes ... come on, we have to go back!"
Y and Chip nod, the three beam out, back at Hunter H.Q.
A few minutes later, every reploid in the H.Q. was battling by any means possible the attack from the Doppler force. But they are just too much, the wasp-choppers shoot everything in sight, neutralizing the defenses outside the H.Q.
Meanwhile, all the maverick land troops, go into the H.Q. and destroy all hunters in sight.
On the roof, we can see two hunters returning fire with their blasters.
Hunter #1: "We won't be able to last much longer!"
Hunter #2: "Try and hold on! Help is on the way!"
Hunter #1: "JUMP!"
The two jump to a side to avoid a missile from one of the wasp-choppers. The explosion sends them flying a few feet away.
Hunter #1: "Damn! Were IS the help!?"
He screams while he returns fire.
Hunter #2: "Just hold on! We can't let them destroy the entire H.Q.!"
Just then, three reploids jump on one of the wasp-choppers, while the pink and the black one shoots the engines, the red one slashes with an energy sword, the chopper begins to fall, and the three reploids jump off just in time to avoid the explosion.
Now we can clearly see that they are Zero, Y and Chip.
Zero: "Y, Chip and me will clear out the enemies out here. You go ahead and deal with the ones inside."
Y nods and runs into the H.Q.
Zero turns to Chip.
Zero: "Alright Chip! Get ready!"
Chip: "Yes dad! I mean sir!"
The two hunters fire at different directions, blasting two more wasp-choppers, then they jump on the roof, and keep firing.
Hunter #2: "Look! It's Zero! And that rookie Chip!"
Hunter #1: "About time! Now let's kick those mavericks out of here!"
All the hunters on the roof keep firing at all the wasp-choppers, many of the choppers fall down and explode.
Meanwhile, inside the H.Q.
Y is blasting her way trough the maverick lines, finally she reaches the weapon storing room, at that moment a reploid warps in.
Y: "Mac? Where have you been?"
Mac shoots a blast that traps Y in a forcefield.
Mac: "You're far too trusting, Y. I'm now a member of Doppler's Army! You will make a fine addition to our forces once you have been shown the true destiny of the Reploid race!"
A carrier hovers overhead and takes Y away. Mac warps out.
Meanwhile, up the roof.
Chip: "Ye-ah! They are dropping like flies!"
Zero: (Speaking to his communicator) "Y, this is Zero, we are almost finish out here. How about you? ... Y? ... Y!?"
Zero turns to Chip.
Zero: "Chip ... I'm going in to see what's wrong with your mother ... can you handle things out here?"
Chip: "Sure dad! No sweat!"
Zero: "For the last time ... when on duty, call me sir!"
Chip: "Yeah! Sorry sir."
Zero breaks a hole in the roof and jumps down, Chip keeps shooting at the remaining wasp-choppers.
Inside, Zero lands with a stand in the weapon storing room.
Zero: "She's not here ..."
Zero runs down H.Q. cutting down the mavericks he finds with his Z-sword, he reaches the computer room, but it's locked.
Zero: "Hmm ... why is this door locked? I better go and check it out."
Zero makes an X cut at the door, and it falls down in four triangular pieces. Zero steps in, inside he can see Y.
She's trapped, her back against a wall, unable to move because of the forcefield, her expression is one of pain.
Zero: "Y! Who did this!?"
In that moment Mac warps in.
Mac: "I did."
Zero: "Mac! You traitor!"
Mac smiles and tries to shot Zero, but Zero's too fast for him, he just jumps to a side, rushes over and with one clean cut, he slices Mac in half, the two pieces explode.
Then Zero walks towards Y, and using his Z-sword he destroys the forcefield holding her.
Y falls with a crouch, still a little weakened.
Zero: "Are you okay, Y?"
Y: "Thank you Zero. I'm okay."
Zero: "Come on, let's go, Chip's outside fighting the remaining forces."
Zero helps Y to stand.
Y: "I'm okay ... really, now let's go and help Chip."
Zero smiles, and both of them warp out.
Outside, at the roof, Chip and the remaining hunters are shooting the last wasp-choppers.
Hunter #2: "They are falling all over!"
Hunter #1: "Keep it at them! We can do this!"
BLAM!
A big spike-ball hits the two hunters, sending them flying at the other side of the roof. Chip hears this and turns around.
Chip: "Oh my gosh! It's gigantic!"
The big robot, with two spike-balls instead of arms, sees Chip, and attempts an attack, but Chip is way too fast, jumps up, lands on the arm, then runs up the arm, reaches the robot's face, shoots a big energy blast right in the middle, and jumps down back at the roof just in time to see the robot fall down at the street below, engulfed in flames.
Chip: "Well, the bigger they are ..."
At that moment, Y and Zero warp at the roof.
Chip: "Mom! Dad! We swept those mavericks out of here!"
Zero: "I can see that son."
Y: "Zero ... try to encourage him."
Y nudges Zero on the ribs.
Zero: "Alright, alright, you were good Chip."
Chip smiles.
Chip: "Thanks dad."
Y: "Let's check around headquarters again and be ready for any maverick revolt."
Zero: "Good idea Y. Let's go Chip."
Chip nods, and the three of them warp back into the H.Q.
Meanwhile, somewhere else.
Dr. Doppler: "She is the Maverick Hunter I failed to catch last time. I had no idea she is so powerful ... Bit and Byte!"
Two Reploids warp in, one a small golden one, the other a large red one.
Dr. Doppler: "Bring that Maverick Hunter to me... alive if possible."
Bit & Byte: "Affirmative, Dr. Doppler!"
Bit and Byte warp out, and another Reploid warps in, hiding in the shadows.
Mysterious Maverick: "Alive, Dr. Doppler? You are so kind."
Dr. Doppler: "Watch your mouth or I'll put you back where I found you. Even with your enhancements, you are still no match for me."
Mysterious Maverick: "Thanks for the upgrade Doctor, but I have a score to settle... and I'll do it my way ..."
The Mysterious Maverick warps out.
Dr. Doppler: "Fine. Just make sure you do it. I still can't believe that Maverick Hunter defeated my master twice in the past ..."
Chapter 2: The mysterious maverick.
Zero, Y and Chip beam into a factory. There has been maverick activity reported not long ago, and since everybody else was in a mission, they decided to go themselves.
Chip: "Alright! I'll get to kick some maverick butt!"
Zero: "Chip, I told you before, being a hunter is not a game. It's dangerous work and has a lot of responsibilities."
Chip: "I know, I know."
Y: "Listen to your father Chip, he knows what he's saying."
Chip: "Sheesh mom! You too!?"
Y: "Anyway ... I think that the news we got about this place were wrong ... I don't see any maverick activity here."
Voice: "You will soon."
Zero: "Who's there!"
The three turn around, looking at the point from where the voice came. But they only see shadows.
Voice: "Hello Y, Zero ... long time no see ... who's that kid over there?"
Zero: "We don't answer questions to a shadow!"
Y: "Zero, please ... there's no harm in telling ... whoever it is."
Y turns to look at the shadows from were the voice is coming, somehow the voice sounds familiar, but she can't place her finger on it.
Y: "Chip here, is my, and Zero's, son."
Voice: "Son!? Ha! What a nice Kodak moment."
Zero: "Cut the crap! Show yourself!"
Voice: "Very well, I shall."
From the shadows steps out Vile, using an improved battle-suit.
Zero & Y: "Vile!"
Vile: "Indeed."
Chip: "Huh? Did I miss something here? Who's this guy?"
Vile: "Your parents never told you about me? I'm devastated ... I'm the one responsible for your father's death."
Chip: "What!? Dad? What's he saying?"
Zero: "It was a long time ago, but I was rebuilt."
Vile: "I can see that ... it seems like I'm gonna have to kill you again."
Zero: "Eat blaster, you tin-can head!"
Zero aims his blaster at Vile, and shoots a big blast at his battle-suit. But the suit moves an arm, and deflects it away. The blast explodes harmlessly on a wall.
Vile: "You are still weak Zero! You can't defeat me!"
Vile powers up the suit, and it rushes over to Zero, then it hits Zero in his guts, sending him flying towards a wall.
Y: "Zero!"
Chip: "Dad!"
Vile: "HA!"
Zero tries to stand up, but he falls again, the hit was a lot harder than he tough.
Y rushes to his side.
Y: "Zero ... are you okay? Zero!"
Zero: "Y? ... What are you doing? ... Go get him."
Chip: "You ... you ..."
Chip didn't hear Zero's words, he was looking angrily at the maverick that hurt his father. He was not going to let him get away with this.
Chip: "You are dead!"
Vile: "!?"
Chip jumps towards Vile and charges up his blaster.
Y: "Chip! NO! He's too strong for you!"
Chip didn't listen, and he shot Vile's power-suit, but Vile was too fast, and he ran at Chip, and tackled him with all his might, the impact sent Chip flying towards a wall, and then fell on the floor, unconscious.
Y: "CHIP!"
Vile: "That's what you get for not respecting your elders! HA!"
Y was now angry, completely furious, Vile had hurt Zero AND Chip. He was going to pay.
Vile: "So, Y, it's just you and me."
Y: "Soon it'll be just me."
Vile: "Don't count on that. This factory will blow up in a few moments. Until then, I'll keep you busy."
Vile rushes towards Y, the right fist of his power-suit ready to strike. But Y's fast reflexes allow her to dodge the attack, and after Vile passes, she shots the back of the suit, making one of the shield-plates fly away.
Vile: "Why you little ..."
Y smiles, and runs towards Vile. Vile also rushes towards Y. When they are close enough, Vile launches a punch, Y leaps up with a somersault, and shots at the hole she made previously on the power-suit's back.
Vile: "NO!"
Vile jumps out of the suit just in time as it overheats and blows up.
Vile: "You'll pay for that!"
Vile stands up and fires towards Y with his elbow-blaster, the shots are really fast, like a machine gun.
Y quickly jumps, rolls and avoids them, returning fire, Vile also dodges the shots, and keeps firing.
Then suddenly a electronic-voice can be heard.
Voice: "T minus 20 seconds."
Vile: "Damn! I forgot about the bomb! Good bye Y. We'll setlle this score later!"
Vile warps out.
Voice: "T minus 15 seconds."
Y: "This place is going to blow up."
Y runs towards Chip, and lifts him up, then she walks towards Zero, who's still weakened from the impact, but can stand up."
Voice: "T minus 10 seconds."
Zero: "We have to warp out."
Y nods, and the two warp out, Chip also warps out being hold by Y.
Voice: "Time up."
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The factory blows up.
Chapter 3: Bit and Byte.
It has been only an hour since the factory incident, Y, Zero and Chip returned to Hunter H.Q.
After a little fixing in Zero and Chip after the battle with Vile, the family of Maverick Hunters, without any assignment, went out on a patrol.
Chip: "So, mom, dad, who exactly was that Vile guy?"
Y: "*sight* Well, it happened a few years ago, Vile was a hunter gone Maverick ..."
Zero: "We met him in Sigma's base, and after he captured me, he tried to kill your mother."
Y: "But Zero saved me by sacrificing his life ..."
Chip: "I see, so, in a nutshell, that Vile guy hates your guts because you defeated him, and hates my guts because I'm your son."
Zero and Y nodded, while walking down the streets, there was no maverick activity, so they decided to go back to the H.Q.
But suddenly, a small golden reploid and a big red reploid jumped in front of the three.
Bit: "So, you are Y..."
Byte: "Our boss, Dr. Doppler, told us to get you."
Chip: "Wow, mom! I never tough you were so popular among mavericks!"
Zero: "Chip, stay away! They are too powerful!"
Bit: "I would worry about myself if I were you."
With that, Bit activated his green energy sword. And jumped into action.
Zero also activated his Z-sword, and the two sword-fighters got tangled in a fight.
Bite launched himself towards Y.
Y was getting ready to fight, when suddenly Chip jumped in between Y and Byte.
Chip: "Don't worry mom! I got it covered!"
Byte tried to hit Chip with his big fists, but Chip was way too fast, and leaped out of the way, Byte turned and tried again, but Chip dodged him again.
Y: "Chip! Stay out of this ... you might get hurt."
Vile: "We meet again Y!"
Y: "!?"
Y turned around and saw that Vile was standing there, his cannon ready to fire.
Y: "Vile! Were did you come from?"
Vile: "Shut up! You destroyed my beautiful power-suit! Now I'm going to return the favor by killing you!"
Now three fights were going on at the same time, Y was battling Vile, Zero was battling Bit and Chip was fighting with Byte.
Zero was wining without many problems, and Bit knew it. But the golden maverick was unable to stop any of Zero's attacks.
Chip was doing fine against Byte, even if Chip was still a rookie, he was Y's and Zero's son, AND he was trained for combat by Zero. Byte was surprised by the ability of the small black armored reploid.
Y wasn't having many problems either, she had fight with Vile before. Vile was stronger now, but so was she. The fight was a tie until Y succeeded in landing a Blast on Vile's cannon.
Y: "So Vile ... do you give up?"
Vile: "He, he, he ... you have no idea what's going on ... this is part of Dr. Doppler's plan ..."
Vile turned to Bit and Byte.
Vile: "Bit! ... Byte! Let's go!"
Vile beamed out.
Bit stopped another blow from Zero's sword with his own sword.
Bit: "Sorry ... we'll have to finish this some other time."
Bit also beamed out.
Byte: "You are very lucky kid ... saved by the bell."
Byte also beamed away just in time to avoid a blast from Chip.
Chip: "Hey! You! Come back here and fight like a robot!"
Zero puts a calming hand on Chip's shoulder.
Zero: "He's gone Chip ... don't worry ... You'll have another chance."
Y walked to them.
Y: "What was that all about?"
Zero: "I know ... it was like they were keeping us busy or something ..."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Zero's communicator began to beep.
Zero: "This is Zero."
Communicator: "Help! Hunter H.Q is under attack! It's Doppler force again!"
Zero: "That's it! Those three were keeping us busy here so the H.Q. was with less defenses!"
Y: "We should have supposed that they were going to attempt another attack at the H.Q.!"
Zero nodded.
Zero: "Let's go back. They are gonna need help."
The three reploids beamed back to Hunter H.Q.
Chapter 4: The battle body.
A few minutes later, the three hunters arrive at H.Q. just as they suspected, the Doppler force was attacking in a full strike.
Zero: "Let's spread out, and kick them out of here."
Chip: "You can count on me dad!"
Y: "Be careful you two."
The three nodded and went separate ways.
Let's follow Y for a while.
Inside H.Q. were lots of Mavericks, they weren't too powerful tough, so Y easily defeated them with a single blast. That was until she ran into a BIG one.
Y looks up, it's Vile, in a brand new power-suit.
Vile: "Hello Y, ready for round 2?"
Y: "Vile! Don't you know when to give up?"
Vile: "Shut up! My waiting has finally come to an end! Prepare to die at the hands of the world's most advanced riding armor - the new 'Goliath'!"
Vile tries to hit Y, but Y is still to fast for him, even with his new power-suit.
Vile tries to ram Y over, but he can't as Y slides under him.
Vile: "Why you little ..."
Y: "Hey, Vile! Think fast!"
Y doesn't give Vile the oportunity to turn, and shoots the power-suit in the back.
Vile: "Ha! Did you think that that stupid trick was going to work twice?"
Vile turns around undamaged, and tries to ram Y again. Y jumps over him.
Y: (Thinking) "That power-suit's armor is way too hard ... I got to think of another way ..."
Y dodges some more attacks, and finally she thinks something up.
Y runs towards a weapons cabinet and grabs a hand grenade, Vile again tries to run Y over, Y dodges to a side, and places the grenade on the joint of the right elbow with the suit's body.
A few seconds later, the Goliath explodes, Vile jumps out, and he's really pissed off.
Vile: "My Goliath! NO! You are not going to get away with this!"
Y: "You are the one that is always escaping."
Vile: "Grrr ..."
Vile dashes towards Y, thinking that he can win with his new upgrades.
He lets a round of energy-bullets out on Y, Y makes a few quick dodges, and leaps over Vile, before he can turn around and shot her again, Y fires a blast right on Vile's back, making a huge hole trough him.
Vile looks down on his stomach, and notices the hole, he knows he has lost the battle.
Vile: "Damn with you! Don't think that this is the end, Y! I will haunt you to the day you die ..."
Vile explodes.
Now, let's follow Zero.
Zero runs trough the H.Q. slashing every maverick he sees with his Z-sword, finally he reaches a large hall with a huge room at the end, in that room he can hear battle noises.
As he enters the room, he can see Chip. He's fighting against Tunnel Rhino. In a wall, far away from the fight, he spots Dr. Cain and rushes next to him.
Zero: "Dr. Cain ... are you okay?"
Dr. Cain: "Yes Zero, thanks ... Chip saved me in the last minute ... shouldn't you go help him?"
Zero watches how Chip fights, and smiles.
Zero: "No, he can handle it."
Zero is right, Tunnel Rhino is strong, but Chip's speed makes up for it.
Tunnel Rhino tries to hit Chip with his drill-arm, Chip dodges to a side, aims his blaster and shoots.
The blast destroys Tunnel Rhino's drill-arm.
Tunnel Rhino: "How can a Hunter Rookie fight this well!?"
Chip: "I'll show you what a rookie can do."
Tunnel Rhino tries his ramming attack, Chip jumps over him, and shoots him square on the head.
BOOOM!
Tunnel Rhino blows to pieces, his severed head rolls towards Zero, who picks it up.
Zero: "Seems like you won Chip."
Chip: "Dad! Did you saw me the whole time?"
Y: "Guess we won."
Y enters the room, not letting Zero answer.
Y: "What's that?"
Y points at Tunnel Rhino's head.
Dr. Cain: "That might be the source of our answers."
The three reploids blink a few times.
A few minutes later. In Dr. Cain's lab, in Huinter H.Q.
Tunnel Rhino's head is connected to a computer, info pops out in the screen.
Y: "Any problems Dr. Cain?"
Dr. Cain: "I pulled some memory chips from the Mavericks controlled by Dr. Doppler. I analyzed them and found out that Dr. Doppler is trying to create a powerful new Battle Body by collecting the "special abilities" from the latest breed of Reploids."
Zero: "Battle Body...?"
Dr. Cain: "First I thought Dr. Doppler was trying to create it for himself. But the information indicates that he will not be able to interface with it, so it must be for someone else."
Y: "Sigma!?"
Chip: "Sigma? But you told me that ..."
Zero: "Can he still be alive?"
Dr. Cain: "A hidden laboratory has been pinpointed found at Point D. All indications are that it is Dr. Doppler's secret lab. You need to get there immediately."
Zero: "It's time I put an end to Sigma for good!"
Y: "Let's go!"
Chip: "I'm ready."
Y, Zero and Chip warp out to go to Dr. Doppler's laboratories.
Chapter 5: Dr. Doppler's lab.
It has been a few hours since Y, Zero and Chip were inside Doppler's fortress, there weren't any big events except for a few weak mavericks that were easily defeated.
Chip: "Bo-ring ... when are we going to fight against the BIG ones?"
Zero: "How many times do I have to tell you Chip. Being a hunter is no game."
Suddenly, Bit and Byte jump down from the ceiling.
Bit: "Well, well, well ... look who we found."
Bit activates his sword.
Zero: "You again!?"
Zero also activates his sword.
Byte: "So kid ... ready for a rematch?"
Chip: "You bet I am ..."
Bit: "Of course that Dr. Doppler made a few upgrades on us after the fight with you."
Y: "Huh?"
Byte: "Take a look at this!"
Bit and Byte unite into one HUGE robot.
Bit-Byte: "Ha, ha, ha, ha! Now you are doomed!"
The new robot begins his attack, his energy-sword is even bigger now. Zero stops the first slash.
Zero: "You may be bigger. But I'm still the best when it comes to sword combat."
Bit-Byte: "Maybe so ... but how about this?"
Suddenly, two huge hands appear from the robot, and grabs Zero squishing him hard.
Zero: "ARGH!!"
Bit-Byte: "Ha, ha! Let's see how your circuits look when we crush you."
Chip: "Dad!"
Y: "ZERO!"
Seeing Zero in danger, Y jumps into action, before Chip could even react, Y leaped forward, shots the arms of the robot, making it drop Zero, the robot tries to slash her with the sword, but Y avoids the attack. Then she jumps on the robot's back, and lets go a HUGE blast, the blast penetrates the robot's armor, and makes a big hole in it.
Bit-Byte: "How can this be!!!"
BOOOM!
The robot explodes into pieces.
Y: "Zero ... are you okay?"
Zero stands up.
Zero: "Of course I'm okay."
Y smiles, she knows that Zero is a very proud reploid.
Y: "Come on, we have to find Dr. Doppler."
Voice: "Look no more."
Y/Zero/Chip: "Huh?"
Dr. Doppler enters the room.
Dr. Doppler: "You are really strong Y. I'm Dr. Doppler. And I've been watching your battles closely."
Y: "You have?"
Dr. Doppler: "Your victories over Vile, Bit and Byte have been most impressive. I need superior reploids like yourself, Y. I'm offering you a chance to join us. Together we shall build a Utopia where the Reploids rule under the watchful eyes of Sigma, our lord and master."
Y: "You must be joking."
Dr. Doppler: "Perhaps you are not as smart as I once thought."
Doppler sheds his lab coat, to reveal his own battle-ready body.
Dr. Doppler: "Prepare to be ripped apart and to be born again as part of the new body of Sigma!"
Dr. Doppler charges the three reploids, the three jump out of the way, Chip tries an attack.
ZAP! CRUNCH!
But Dr. Doppler deflects it with one arm, and then slams Chip against a wall.
Zero: "Chip!"
Zero jumps towards Doppler. Z-sword ready, he slashes away and ...
SLASH! CATCH!
Doppler stops the attack with his bare hands, then punches Zero on the stomach, sending him flying and landing right next to Chip, both reploids are still alive but unconscious.
Dr. Doppler: "You fools ... the fight was with Y."
Y: "..."
Dr. Doppler: "Now ... where were we?"
Y: "You were losing."
Dr. Doppler: "What?"
Before Doppler could react, Y jumps into action. Shooting Doppler many times, she accomplishes in damaging him. Doppler tries to defend, but Y dodges any of his attacks.
Dr. Doppler: "Stand still so I can blast you!"
Y then blasts Dr. Doppler right in the head, he falls down, severely damaged, Y walks towards him.
Dr. Doppler: "You are strong Y ... Strong enough to defeat Sigma ..."
Y: "Doppler? What happened? Why are you so friendly all of a sudden?"
Dr. Doppler: "Sigma's true form is that of a computer virus ..."
Y: "A virus?"
Dr. Doppler: "Yes. I was corrupted by him and ... I created a horrific new body for him ..."
Y: "Where's the body now?"
Dr. Doppler: "It's in the underground hangar of this lab ... I don't think Sigma has occupied it yet... Don't worry about me ... Destroy the body before it is too late. Time is running out ..."
Y: "Thank you, Doc ..."
Y walks towards Chip and Zero, and warps out to confront Sigma, leaving the injured Doppler behind.
Chapter 6: The Final
Zero and Chip regained consciousness, as the three walked down the hall. As they enter a room, they see him ...
Y/Zero: "Sigma!"
Chip: "That's Sigma?"
Sigma: "We meet again Y ... It was easy to corrupt that fool, Doppler. And I would have succeeded if you hadn't interfered. But we are always destined to meet, aren't we Y? Let the eternal struggle begin!!"
Sigma begins the attack, he aims only at Y, who jumps out of the way.
Chip: "Leave my mom alone you freak!"
Chip shoots Sigma, who easily dodges the blast.
Sigma: "Get out of my way you weakling!"
Sigma shoots a big blast towards Chip, the blast hits him fully.
Y: "CHIP! NOOO!"
Zero: "Chip!"
Sigma smiles. Zero rushes towards Chip's limp body on the floor, he's severely damaged.
Zero: "Chip!"
Chip: "Dad ... am I going to die?"
Zero: "Don't say that Chip ... just don't say it ..."
Chip: "Dad ... was I a good hunter?"
Zero can barely hold his tears.
Zero: "Yes Chip ... you were a very good hunter."
By now Y also was next to them, she was crying as she saw Chip's condition.
Chip: "I'm happy to hear that from you dad."
Chip smiles, and goes limp, as he dies.
Y: "Chip ..."
Y holds Chip's limp body.
Zero stands up, and turns around.
Sigma: "So, are we going to fight or what?"
Zero begins to cry tears of anger and sadness, as he activates his Z-sword.
Zero: "Sigma ..."
Zero dashes, fury taken over him.
Zero: "SIGMA YOU BASTARD! YOU KILLED MY SON!"
Zero slashes away. Sigma is surprised by Zero's energy, as he can barely stop his attacks.
Sigma lands a blow, but if Zero felt it, he didn't show it. He was berserk, nothing could have stop him, not even Sigma.
Sigma: "ARGH!"
Zero lands a blow, cutting Sigma in three pieces, and he blows up.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!!!
Zero lands on his feet, breathing heavily, and deactivates his Z-sword.
Zero: "Its ... Its over ..."
Y: "Zero! Look out!"
Zero: "Huh?"
BLAM!
Zero noticed the huge robot behind him, and was about to activate his sword again. But the robot kicked Zero in the guts, sending him flying against a wall.
BAM!
Zero: "Huf ..."
Y: "Zero!"
Sigma: "You were good Zero. But I'm far stronger than my previous forms. Behold the power of the ultimate battle body!!"
Y: "YAHH!"
Y jumps towards Sigma, shoots him, but Sigma is not only huge, he's strong, and hits Y away with one hand.
Y: "Hug!"
Sigma: "You wont defeat me again Y!"
Sigma aims his cannons at Y, and fires away, Y rolls to a side, then jumps to dodge all of Sigma's blasts.
Sigma: "Yes! Run! Run away like a scared little bunny! HA, HA, HA, HA!"
Y is getting tired, none of her attacks are working. After a jump to dodge on of Sigma's blats. She lands near Zero.
Y: "Huh?"
Y notices Zero's sword on the floor, near Zero's open hand. And grabs it.
Y: "Sigma! Take this!"
Y jumps towards Sigma, as she dodges all of Sigma's attacks, she activates Zero's sword, and slashes two times.
SLASH! BONK!
SLASH! BONK!
Sigma's arms fall on the floor.
Sigma: "NO!"
Y just slashes again, and cut's Sigma's battle-body in half from top to bottom. The two pieces explode.
BOOOM!
Y: "*pant* *pant*"
Sigma's voice: "N... No!! This can't be! I can't even defeat you with this magnificant body ..?!"
Y: "Huh? Sigma?"
Sigma's voice: "There seems to be only one choice now... I'll possess you!"
Sigma appears as a virus. Y tries to escape, but all doors slam closed when she tries to get away.
Y: "I'm trapped ..."
Sigma: "Ha ha ha. Give up Y. I'll possess your body and rule the whole world!!"
BOOM!
Dr. Doppler blows a hole through the ceiling and jumps on top of Sigma.
Sigma: "Aaarrrgggg ... You're Doppler ... How did you obtain this ..."
Dr. Doppler: "How do you feel now, Sigma? Did you like my special vaccine for the Sigma virus? Y, I'm sorry to have given you so much trouble. I know I can never really atone for what I've done... But I will try to set things right by taking Sigma with me!"
Sigma: "My program ... is ... fading ..."
Doppler: "Y ... it's ... time to say ... goodbye ..."
Sigma and Doppler start to explode together.
Y runs toward Zero's unconscious body and Chip's limp form, grabs them, and warps out holding the two.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
Y is standing on a hillside, Zero's unconscious body lying next to her on the ground. Chip's limp body is also there.
Y has crushed Sigma's plan once again. But many questions still occupy her mind ...
"Why must humans fight against Reploids ...?"
"And, why must Reploids fight against each other..."
As Y stares at the burning remnants of Doppler's lab, her body trembles from an unknown sorrow.
"What does fate have in store for me now?" she wonders.
She can only hope that someday Dr. Light's plan for her will finally be revealed.
Unknown to Y, her destiny has already been decided.
To save mankind, she must destroy Zero.
But only time will tell, when and why ...

This is the story of the "Parallel Universe" where the one that choused to become a battle robot, wasn't Rock. So Roll is Mega Girl.
You must have recognized some of the scenes from Mega Man X3 for the SNES, PC and PSx. But you also must have read scenes that are completely new, and only happen in this "Parallel universe."
In difference as in Mega Man X, Mega Girl Y is called "Y" by her friends as Mega Man X is called "X" by his friends in his universe. But you have probably noticed this without me telling, I just tough that it would be nice to explain this.
You probably must be wondering:
Why did he called her Y?
Why not Mega Girl X?
The answer is simple, kind of.
Y stands for why, the universal question.
For every why, there is a because, and for every because there's a why.
This serves as a kind of an explanation of infinite questions and infinite answers that Y's existence makes.
I'm sure that when CAPCOM named the character "Mega Man X", they had a good reason for using the letter X. I have a reason for using the letter Y.

Warning: English is my second language, still I'm sure you'll be able to read and enjoy this story.
Author's note: Before reading this, you should know that this fic is a "parallel universe" in which the one that choused to become a battle robot was Roll instead of Rock.
The main difference would be Roll's personality, being a girl, she always ponders if there could be another way instead of fighting all the time.
But the most significance difference takes place in the events that you know as Mega Man X. In Mega Girl Y things go differently in many ways.
I time you will know of what happened before Mega Girl Y was placed on the testing capsule, but not now, (If you know now, it will spoil the rest of the story).
Well, enough with the explanation already! Let's begin with the story!
Mega Girl Y
Part 3
Chapter 1: Dr. Doppler.
It has been years since the last attack lead by Sigma, Maverick activity has been neutralized, by the reploid scientist Dr. Doppler. The world was entering a new golden era.
Because of this, Maverick Hunters activities were very unusual and almost null. If there are no mavericks, there is no need for the Maverick Hunters.
Y was now the leader of the 17th unit, and Zero was the leader of a special #0 class unit. In this last unit (#0) was hunter rookie Chip.
Chip is a black armored reploid, and he is very special for Zero and Y.
Why is he so special? The reason is simple, Chip was built by Y and Zero, in other words, Chip can be, and is, considered Y's and Zero's son.
Suddenly, all of the alarms in Maverick Hunters H.Q. start up. A new maverick riot is rampaging in Doppler Town, All sources at Maverick Hunter headquarters point to Doppler himself inciting the revolt. The anti-virus that had met such praise was merely a placebo.
All hunters go to Doppler town to fight the maverick revolt.
Zero is in Doppler Town, battling some Mavericks when his communicator begins to beep.
Zero: "This is Zero."
Communicator: "This is Maverick Hunters H.Q. We are under attack! That riot was a decoy! The attacker seems to be Doppler force! All units return to base immediately and return fire."
Zero: "We are on our way!"
Zero turns to Chip, he's shooting a few maverick tanks.
Zero: "Chip! Let's go! The H.Q. is under attack!"
Chip: "Sure dad. I'm ready when you are!"
Zero: "Chip! I told you to call me sir when you are on duty. Not dad."
Chip: "Oops, sorry da ... sir."
Y jumps in, firing at some mavericks at their left.
Y: "Did you heard the message?"
Zero: "Yes ... come on, we have to go back!"
Y and Chip nod, the three beam out, back at Hunter H.Q.
A few minutes later, every reploid in the H.Q. was battling by any means possible the attack from the Doppler force. But they are just too much, the wasp-choppers shoot everything in sight, neutralizing the defenses outside the H.Q.
Meanwhile, all the maverick land troops, go into the H.Q. and destroy all hunters in sight.
On the roof, we can see two hunters returning fire with their blasters.
Hunter #1: "We won't be able to last much longer!"
Hunter #2: "Try and hold on! Help is on the way!"
Hunter #1: "JUMP!"
The two jump to a side to avoid a missile from one of the wasp-choppers. The explosion sends them flying a few feet away.
Hunter #1: "Damn! Were IS the help!?"
He screams while he returns fire.
Hunter #2: "Just hold on! We can't let them destroy the entire H.Q.!"
Just then, three reploids jump on one of the wasp-choppers, while the pink and the black one shoots the engines, the red one slashes with an energy sword, the chopper begins to fall, and the three reploids jump off just in time to avoid the explosion.
Now we can clearly see that they are Zero, Y and Chip.
Zero: "Y, Chip and me will clear out the enemies out here. You go ahead and deal with the ones inside."
Y nods and runs into the H.Q.
Zero turns to Chip.
Zero: "Alright Chip! Get ready!"
Chip: "Yes dad! I mean sir!"
The two hunters fire at different directions, blasting two more wasp-choppers, then they jump on the roof, and keep firing.
Hunter #2: "Look! It's Zero! And that rookie Chip!"
Hunter #1: "About time! Now let's kick those mavericks out of here!"
All the hunters on the roof keep firing at all the wasp-choppers, many of the choppers fall down and explode.
Meanwhile, inside the H.Q.
Y is blasting her way trough the maverick lines, finally she reaches the weapon storing room, at that moment a reploid warps in.
Y: "Mac? Where have you been?"
Mac shoots a blast that traps Y in a forcefield.
Mac: "You're far too trusting, Y. I'm now a member of Doppler's Army! You will make a fine addition to our forces once you have been shown the true destiny of the Reploid race!"
A carrier hovers overhead and takes Y away. Mac warps out.
Meanwhile, up the roof.
Chip: "Ye-ah! They are dropping like flies!"
Zero: (Speaking to his communicator) "Y, this is Zero, we are almost finish out here. How about you? ... Y? ... Y!?"
Zero turns to Chip.
Zero: "Chip ... I'm going in to see what's wrong with your mother ... can you handle things out here?"
Chip: "Sure dad! No sweat!"
Zero: "For the last time ... when on duty, call me sir!"
Chip: "Yeah! Sorry sir."
Zero breaks a hole in the roof and jumps down, Chip keeps shooting at the remaining wasp-choppers.
Inside, Zero lands with a stand in the weapon storing room.
Zero: "She's not here ..."
Zero runs down H.Q. cutting down the mavericks he finds with his Z-sword, he reaches the computer room, but it's locked.
Zero: "Hmm ... why is this door locked? I better go and check it out."
Zero makes an X cut at the door, and it falls down in four triangular pieces. Zero steps in, inside he can see Y.
She's trapped, her back against a wall, unable to move because of the forcefield, her expression is one of pain.
Zero: "Y! Who did this!?"
In that moment Mac warps in.
Mac: "I did."
Zero: "Mac! You traitor!"
Mac smiles and tries to shot Zero, but Zero's too fast for him, he just jumps to a side, rushes over and with one clean cut, he slices Mac in half, the two pieces explode.
Then Zero walks towards Y, and using his Z-sword he destroys the forcefield holding her.
Y falls with a crouch, still a little weakened.
Zero: "Are you okay, Y?"
Y: "Thank you Zero. I'm okay."
Zero: "Come on, let's go, Chip's outside fighting the remaining forces."
Zero helps Y to stand.
Y: "I'm okay ... really, now let's go and help Chip."
Zero smiles, and both of them warp out.
Outside, at the roof, Chip and the remaining hunters are shooting the last wasp-choppers.
Hunter #2: "They are falling all over!"
Hunter #1: "Keep it at them! We can do this!"
BLAM!
A big spike-ball hits the two hunters, sending them flying at the other side of the roof. Chip hears this and turns around.
Chip: "Oh my gosh! It's gigantic!"
The big robot, with two spike-balls instead of arms, sees Chip, and attempts an attack, but Chip is way too fast, jumps up, lands on the arm, then runs up the arm, reaches the robot's face, shoots a big energy blast right in the middle, and jumps down back at the roof just in time to see the robot fall down at the street below, engulfed in flames.
Chip: "Well, the bigger they are ..."
At that moment, Y and Zero warp at the roof.
Chip: "Mom! Dad! We swept those mavericks out of here!"
Zero: "I can see that son."
Y: "Zero ... try to encourage him."
Y nudges Zero on the ribs.
Zero: "Alright, alright, you were good Chip."
Chip smiles.
Chip: "Thanks dad."
Y: "Let's check around headquarters again and be ready for any maverick revolt."
Zero: "Good idea Y. Let's go Chip."
Chip nods, and the three of them warp back into the H.Q.
Meanwhile, somewhere else.
Dr. Doppler: "She is the Maverick Hunter I failed to catch last time. I had no idea she is so powerful ... Bit and Byte!"
Two Reploids warp in, one a small golden one, the other a large red one.
Dr. Doppler: "Bring that Maverick Hunter to me... alive if possible."
Bit & Byte: "Affirmative, Dr. Doppler!"
Bit and Byte warp out, and another Reploid warps in, hiding in the shadows.
Mysterious Maverick: "Alive, Dr. Doppler? You are so kind."
Dr. Doppler: "Watch your mouth or I'll put you back where I found you. Even with your enhancements, you are still no match for me."
Mysterious Maverick: "Thanks for the upgrade Doctor, but I have a score to settle... and I'll do it my way ..."
The Mysterious Maverick warps out.
Dr. Doppler: "Fine. Just make sure you do it. I still can't believe that Maverick Hunter defeated my master twice in the past ..."
Chapter 2: The mysterious maverick.
Zero, Y and Chip beam into a factory. There has been maverick activity reported not long ago, and since everybody else was in a mission, they decided to go themselves.
Chip: "Alright! I'll get to kick some maverick butt!"
Zero: "Chip, I told you before, being a hunter is not a game. It's dangerous work and has a lot of responsibilities."
Chip: "I know, I know."
Y: "Listen to your father Chip, he knows what he's saying."
Chip: "Sheesh mom! You too!?"
Y: "Anyway ... I think that the news we got about this place were wrong ... I don't see any maverick activity here."
Voice: "You will soon."
Zero: "Who's there!"
The three turn around, looking at the point from where the voice came. But they only see shadows.
Voice: "Hello Y, Zero ... long time no see ... who's that kid over there?"
Zero: "We don't answer questions to a shadow!"
Y: "Zero, please ... there's no harm in telling ... whoever it is."
Y turns to look at the shadows from were the voice is coming, somehow the voice sounds familiar, but she can't place her finger on it.
Y: "Chip here, is my, and Zero's, son."
Voice: "Son!? Ha! What a nice Kodak moment."
Zero: "Cut the crap! Show yourself!"
Voice: "Very well, I shall."
From the shadows steps out Vile, using an improved battle-suit.
Zero & Y: "Vile!"
Vile: "Indeed."
Chip: "Huh? Did I miss something here? Who's this guy?"
Vile: "Your parents never told you about me? I'm devastated ... I'm the one responsible for your father's death."
Chip: "What!? Dad? What's he saying?"
Zero: "It was a long time ago, but I was rebuilt."
Vile: "I can see that ... it seems like I'm gonna have to kill you again."
Zero: "Eat blaster, you tin-can head!"
Zero aims his blaster at Vile, and shoots a big blast at his battle-suit. But the suit moves an arm, and deflects it away. The blast explodes harmlessly on a wall.
Vile: "You are still weak Zero! You can't defeat me!"
Vile powers up the suit, and it rushes over to Zero, then it hits Zero in his guts, sending him flying towards a wall.
Y: "Zero!"
Chip: "Dad!"
Vile: "HA!"
Zero tries to stand up, but he falls again, the hit was a lot harder than he tough.
Y rushes to his side.
Y: "Zero ... are you okay? Zero!"
Zero: "Y? ... What are you doing? ... Go get him."
Chip: "You ... you ..."
Chip didn't hear Zero's words, he was looking angrily at the maverick that hurt his father. He was not going to let him get away with this.
Chip: "You are dead!"
Vile: "!?"
Chip jumps towards Vile and charges up his blaster.
Y: "Chip! NO! He's too strong for you!"
Chip didn't listen, and he shot Vile's power-suit, but Vile was too fast, and he ran at Chip, and tackled him with all his might, the impact sent Chip flying towards a wall, and then fell on the floor, unconscious.
Y: "CHIP!"
Vile: "That's what you get for not respecting your elders! HA!"
Y was now angry, completely furious, Vile had hurt Zero AND Chip. He was going to pay.
Vile: "So, Y, it's just you and me."
Y: "Soon it'll be just me."
Vile: "Don't count on that. This factory will blow up in a few moments. Until then, I'll keep you busy."
Vile rushes towards Y, the right fist of his power-suit ready to strike. But Y's fast reflexes allow her to dodge the attack, and after Vile passes, she shots the back of the suit, making one of the shield-plates fly away.
Vile: "Why you little ..."
Y smiles, and runs towards Vile. Vile also rushes towards Y. When they are close enough, Vile launches a punch, Y leaps up with a somersault, and shots at the hole she made previously on the power-suit's back.
Vile: "NO!"
Vile jumps out of the suit just in time as it overheats and blows up.
Vile: "You'll pay for that!"
Vile stands up and fires towards Y with his elbow-blaster, the shots are really fast, like a machine gun.
Y quickly jumps, rolls and avoids them, returning fire, Vile also dodges the shots, and keeps firing.
Then suddenly a electronic-voice can be heard.
Voice: "T minus 20 seconds."
Vile: "Damn! I forgot about the bomb! Good bye Y. We'll setlle this score later!"
Vile warps out.
Voice: "T minus 15 seconds."
Y: "This place is going to blow up."
Y runs towards Chip, and lifts him up, then she walks towards Zero, who's still weakened from the impact, but can stand up."
Voice: "T minus 10 seconds."
Zero: "We have to warp out."
Y nods, and the two warp out, Chip also warps out being hold by Y.
Voice: "Time up."
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The factory blows up.
Chapter 3: Bit and Byte.
It has been only an hour since the factory incident, Y, Zero and Chip returned to Hunter H.Q.
After a little fixing in Zero and Chip after the battle with Vile, the family of Maverick Hunters, without any assignment, went out on a patrol.
Chip: "So, mom, dad, who exactly was that Vile guy?"
Y: "*sight* Well, it happened a few years ago, Vile was a hunter gone Maverick ..."
Zero: "We met him in Sigma's base, and after he captured me, he tried to kill your mother."
Y: "But Zero saved me by sacrificing his life ..."
Chip: "I see, so, in a nutshell, that Vile guy hates your guts because you defeated him, and hates my guts because I'm your son."
Zero and Y nodded, while walking down the streets, there was no maverick activity, so they decided to go back to the H.Q.
But suddenly, a small golden reploid and a big red reploid jumped in front of the three.
Bit: "So, you are Y..."
Byte: "Our boss, Dr. Doppler, told us to get you."
Chip: "Wow, mom! I never tough you were so popular among mavericks!"
Zero: "Chip, stay away! They are too powerful!"
Bit: "I would worry about myself if I were you."
With that, Bit activated his green energy sword. And jumped into action.
Zero also activated his Z-sword, and the two sword-fighters got tangled in a fight.
Bite launched himself towards Y.
Y was getting ready to fight, when suddenly Chip jumped in between Y and Byte.
Chip: "Don't worry mom! I got it covered!"
Byte tried to hit Chip with his big fists, but Chip was way too fast, and leaped out of the way, Byte turned and tried again, but Chip dodged him again.
Y: "Chip! Stay out of this ... you might get hurt."
Vile: "We meet again Y!"
Y: "!?"
Y turned around and saw that Vile was standing there, his cannon ready to fire.
Y: "Vile! Were did you come from?"
Vile: "Shut up! You destroyed my beautiful power-suit! Now I'm going to return the favor by killing you!"
Now three fights were going on at the same time, Y was battling Vile, Zero was battling Bit and Chip was fighting with Byte.
Zero was wining without many problems, and Bit knew it. But the golden maverick was unable to stop any of Zero's attacks.
Chip was doing fine against Byte, even if Chip was still a rookie, he was Y's and Zero's son, AND he was trained for combat by Zero. Byte was surprised by the ability of the small black armored reploid.
Y wasn't having many problems either, she had fight with Vile before. Vile was stronger now, but so was she. The fight was a tie until Y succeeded in landing a Blast on Vile's cannon.
Y: "So Vile ... do you give up?"
Vile: "He, he, he ... you have no idea what's going on ... this is part of Dr. Doppler's plan ..."
Vile turned to Bit and Byte.
Vile: "Bit! ... Byte! Let's go!"
Vile beamed out.
Bit stopped another blow from Zero's sword with his own sword.
Bit: "Sorry ... we'll have to finish this some other time."
Bit also beamed out.
Byte: "You are very lucky kid ... saved by the bell."
Byte also beamed away just in time to avoid a blast from Chip.
Chip: "Hey! You! Come back here and fight like a robot!"
Zero puts a calming hand on Chip's shoulder.
Zero: "He's gone Chip ... don't worry ... You'll have another chance."
Y walked to them.
Y: "What was that all about?"
Zero: "I know ... it was like they were keeping us busy or something ..."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Zero's communicator began to beep.
Zero: "This is Zero."
Communicator: "Help! Hunter H.Q is under attack! It's Doppler force again!"
Zero: "That's it! Those three were keeping us busy here so the H.Q. was with less defenses!"
Y: "We should have supposed that they were going to attempt another attack at the H.Q.!"
Zero nodded.
Zero: "Let's go back. They are gonna need help."
The three reploids beamed back to Hunter H.Q.
Chapter 4: The battle body.
A few minutes later, the three hunters arrive at H.Q. just as they suspected, the Doppler force was attacking in a full strike.
Zero: "Let's spread out, and kick them out of here."
Chip: "You can count on me dad!"
Y: "Be careful you two."
The three nodded and went separate ways.
Let's follow Y for a while.
Inside H.Q. were lots of Mavericks, they weren't too powerful tough, so Y easily defeated them with a single blast. That was until she ran into a BIG one.
Y looks up, it's Vile, in a brand new power-suit.
Vile: "Hello Y, ready for round 2?"
Y: "Vile! Don't you know when to give up?"
Vile: "Shut up! My waiting has finally come to an end! Prepare to die at the hands of the world's most advanced riding armor - the new 'Goliath'!"
Vile tries to hit Y, but Y is still to fast for him, even with his new power-suit.
Vile tries to ram Y over, but he can't as Y slides under him.
Vile: "Why you little ..."
Y: "Hey, Vile! Think fast!"
Y doesn't give Vile the oportunity to turn, and shoots the power-suit in the back.
Vile: "Ha! Did you think that that stupid trick was going to work twice?"
Vile turns around undamaged, and tries to ram Y again. Y jumps over him.
Y: (Thinking) "That power-suit's armor is way too hard ... I got to think of another way ..."
Y dodges some more attacks, and finally she thinks something up.
Y runs towards a weapons cabinet and grabs a hand grenade, Vile again tries to run Y over, Y dodges to a side, and places the grenade on the joint of the right elbow with the suit's body.
A few seconds later, the Goliath explodes, Vile jumps out, and he's really pissed off.
Vile: "My Goliath! NO! You are not going to get away with this!"
Y: "You are the one that is always escaping."
Vile: "Grrr ..."
Vile dashes towards Y, thinking that he can win with his new upgrades.
He lets a round of energy-bullets out on Y, Y makes a few quick dodges, and leaps over Vile, before he can turn around and shot her again, Y fires a blast right on Vile's back, making a huge hole trough him.
Vile looks down on his stomach, and notices the hole, he knows he has lost the battle.
Vile: "Damn with you! Don't think that this is the end, Y! I will haunt you to the day you die ..."
Vile explodes.
Now, let's follow Zero.
Zero runs trough the H.Q. slashing every maverick he sees with his Z-sword, finally he reaches a large hall with a huge room at the end, in that room he can hear battle noises.
As he enters the room, he can see Chip. He's fighting against Tunnel Rhino. In a wall, far away from the fight, he spots Dr. Cain and rushes next to him.
Zero: "Dr. Cain ... are you okay?"
Dr. Cain: "Yes Zero, thanks ... Chip saved me in the last minute ... shouldn't you go help him?"
Zero watches how Chip fights, and smiles.
Zero: "No, he can handle it."
Zero is right, Tunnel Rhino is strong, but Chip's speed makes up for it.
Tunnel Rhino tries to hit Chip with his drill-arm, Chip dodges to a side, aims his blaster and shoots.
The blast destroys Tunnel Rhino's drill-arm.
Tunnel Rhino: "How can a Hunter Rookie fight this well!?"
Chip: "I'll show you what a rookie can do."
Tunnel Rhino tries his ramming attack, Chip jumps over him, and shoots him square on the head.
BOOOM!
Tunnel Rhino blows to pieces, his severed head rolls towards Zero, who picks it up.
Zero: "Seems like you won Chip."
Chip: "Dad! Did you saw me the whole time?"
Y: "Guess we won."
Y enters the room, not letting Zero answer.
Y: "What's that?"
Y points at Tunnel Rhino's head.
Dr. Cain: "That might be the source of our answers."
The three reploids blink a few times.
A few minutes later. In Dr. Cain's lab, in Huinter H.Q.
Tunnel Rhino's head is connected to a computer, info pops out in the screen.
Y: "Any problems Dr. Cain?"
Dr. Cain: "I pulled some memory chips from the Mavericks controlled by Dr. Doppler. I analyzed them and found out that Dr. Doppler is trying to create a powerful new Battle Body by collecting the "special abilities" from the latest breed of Reploids."
Zero: "Battle Body...?"
Dr. Cain: "First I thought Dr. Doppler was trying to create it for himself. But the information indicates that he will not be able to interface with it, so it must be for someone else."
Y: "Sigma!?"
Chip: "Sigma? But you told me that ..."
Zero: "Can he still be alive?"
Dr. Cain: "A hidden laboratory has been pinpointed found at Point D. All indications are that it is Dr. Doppler's secret lab. You need to get there immediately."
Zero: "It's time I put an end to Sigma for good!"
Y: "Let's go!"
Chip: "I'm ready."
Y, Zero and Chip warp out to go to Dr. Doppler's laboratories.
Chapter 5: Dr. Doppler's lab.
It has been a few hours since Y, Zero and Chip were inside Doppler's fortress, there weren't any big events except for a few weak mavericks that were easily defeated.
Chip: "Bo-ring ... when are we going to fight against the BIG ones?"
Zero: "How many times do I have to tell you Chip. Being a hunter is no game."
Suddenly, Bit and Byte jump down from the ceiling.
Bit: "Well, well, well ... look who we found."
Bit activates his sword.
Zero: "You again!?"
Zero also activates his sword.
Byte: "So kid ... ready for a rematch?"
Chip: "You bet I am ..."
Bit: "Of course that Dr. Doppler made a few upgrades on us after the fight with you."
Y: "Huh?"
Byte: "Take a look at this!"
Bit and Byte unite into one HUGE robot.
Bit-Byte: "Ha, ha, ha, ha! Now you are doomed!"
The new robot begins his attack, his energy-sword is even bigger now. Zero stops the first slash.
Zero: "You may be bigger. But I'm still the best when it comes to sword combat."
Bit-Byte: "Maybe so ... but how about this?"
Suddenly, two huge hands appear from the robot, and grabs Zero squishing him hard.
Zero: "ARGH!!"
Bit-Byte: "Ha, ha! Let's see how your circuits look when we crush you."
Chip: "Dad!"
Y: "ZERO!"
Seeing Zero in danger, Y jumps into action, before Chip could even react, Y leaped forward, shots the arms of the robot, making it drop Zero, the robot tries to slash her with the sword, but Y avoids the attack. Then she jumps on the robot's back, and lets go a HUGE blast, the blast penetrates the robot's armor, and makes a big hole in it.
Bit-Byte: "How can this be!!!"
BOOOM!
The robot explodes into pieces.
Y: "Zero ... are you okay?"
Zero stands up.
Zero: "Of course I'm okay."
Y smiles, she knows that Zero is a very proud reploid.
Y: "Come on, we have to find Dr. Doppler."
Voice: "Look no more."
Y/Zero/Chip: "Huh?"
Dr. Doppler enters the room.
Dr. Doppler: "You are really strong Y. I'm Dr. Doppler. And I've been watching your battles closely."
Y: "You have?"
Dr. Doppler: "Your victories over Vile, Bit and Byte have been most impressive. I need superior reploids like yourself, Y. I'm offering you a chance to join us. Together we shall build a Utopia where the Reploids rule under the watchful eyes of Sigma, our lord and master."
Y: "You must be joking."
Dr. Doppler: "Perhaps you are not as smart as I once thought."
Doppler sheds his lab coat, to reveal his own battle-ready body.
Dr. Doppler: "Prepare to be ripped apart and to be born again as part of the new body of Sigma!"
Dr. Doppler charges the three reploids, the three jump out of the way, Chip tries an attack.
ZAP! CRUNCH!
But Dr. Doppler deflects it with one arm, and then slams Chip against a wall.
Zero: "Chip!"
Zero jumps towards Doppler. Z-sword ready, he slashes away and ...
SLASH! CATCH!
Doppler stops the attack with his bare hands, then punches Zero on the stomach, sending him flying and landing right next to Chip, both reploids are still alive but unconscious.
Dr. Doppler: "You fools ... the fight was with Y."
Y: "..."
Dr. Doppler: "Now ... where were we?"
Y: "You were losing."
Dr. Doppler: "What?"
Before Doppler could react, Y jumps into action. Shooting Doppler many times, she accomplishes in damaging him. Doppler tries to defend, but Y dodges any of his attacks.
Dr. Doppler: "Stand still so I can blast you!"
Y then blasts Dr. Doppler right in the head, he falls down, severely damaged, Y walks towards him.
Dr. Doppler: "You are strong Y ... Strong enough to defeat Sigma ..."
Y: "Doppler? What happened? Why are you so friendly all of a sudden?"
Dr. Doppler: "Sigma's true form is that of a computer virus ..."
Y: "A virus?"
Dr. Doppler: "Yes. I was corrupted by him and ... I created a horrific new body for him ..."
Y: "Where's the body now?"
Dr. Doppler: "It's in the underground hangar of this lab ... I don't think Sigma has occupied it yet... Don't worry about me ... Destroy the body before it is too late. Time is running out ..."
Y: "Thank you, Doc ..."
Y walks towards Chip and Zero, and warps out to confront Sigma, leaving the injured Doppler behind.
Chapter 6: The Final
Zero and Chip regained consciousness, as the three walked down the hall. As they enter a room, they see him ...
Y/Zero: "Sigma!"
Chip: "That's Sigma?"
Sigma: "We meet again Y ... It was easy to corrupt that fool, Doppler. And I would have succeeded if you hadn't interfered. But we are always destined to meet, aren't we Y? Let the eternal struggle begin!!"
Sigma begins the attack, he aims only at Y, who jumps out of the way.
Chip: "Leave my mom alone you freak!"
Chip shoots Sigma, who easily dodges the blast.
Sigma: "Get out of my way you weakling!"
Sigma shoots a big blast towards Chip, the blast hits him fully.
Y: "CHIP! NOOO!"
Zero: "Chip!"
Sigma smiles. Zero rushes towards Chip's limp body on the floor, he's severely damaged.
Zero: "Chip!"
Chip: "Dad ... am I going to die?"
Zero: "Don't say that Chip ... just don't say it ..."
Chip: "Dad ... was I a good hunter?"
Zero can barely hold his tears.
Zero: "Yes Chip ... you were a very good hunter."
By now Y also was next to them, she was crying as she saw Chip's condition.
Chip: "I'm happy to hear that from you dad."
Chip smiles, and goes limp, as he dies.
Y: "Chip ..."
Y holds Chip's limp body.
Zero stands up, and turns around.
Sigma: "So, are we going to fight or what?"
Zero begins to cry tears of anger and sadness, as he activates his Z-sword.
Zero: "Sigma ..."
Zero dashes, fury taken over him.
Zero: "SIGMA YOU BASTARD! YOU KILLED MY SON!"
Zero slashes away. Sigma is surprised by Zero's energy, as he can barely stop his attacks.
Sigma lands a blow, but if Zero felt it, he didn't show it. He was berserk, nothing could have stop him, not even Sigma.
Sigma: "ARGH!"
Zero lands a blow, cutting Sigma in three pieces, and he blows up.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!!!
Zero lands on his feet, breathing heavily, and deactivates his Z-sword.
Zero: "Its ... Its over ..."
Y: "Zero! Look out!"
Zero: "Huh?"
BLAM!
Zero noticed the huge robot behind him, and was about to activate his sword again. But the robot kicked Zero in the guts, sending him flying against a wall.
BAM!
Zero: "Huf ..."
Y: "Zero!"
Sigma: "You were good Zero. But I'm far stronger than my previous forms. Behold the power of the ultimate battle body!!"
Y: "YAHH!"
Y jumps towards Sigma, shoots him, but Sigma is not only huge, he's strong, and hits Y away with one hand.
Y: "Hug!"
Sigma: "You wont defeat me again Y!"
Sigma aims his cannons at Y, and fires away, Y rolls to a side, then jumps to dodge all of Sigma's blasts.
Sigma: "Yes! Run! Run away like a scared little bunny! HA, HA, HA, HA!"
Y is getting tired, none of her attacks are working. After a jump to dodge on of Sigma's blats. She lands near Zero.
Y: "Huh?"
Y notices Zero's sword on the floor, near Zero's open hand. And grabs it.
Y: "Sigma! Take this!"
Y jumps towards Sigma, as she dodges all of Sigma's attacks, she activates Zero's sword, and slashes two times.
SLASH! BONK!
SLASH! BONK!
Sigma's arms fall on the floor.
Sigma: "NO!"
Y just slashes again, and cut's Sigma's battle-body in half from top to bottom. The two pieces explode.
BOOOM!
Y: "*pant* *pant*"
Sigma's voice: "N... No!! This can't be! I can't even defeat you with this magnificant body ..?!"
Y: "Huh? Sigma?"
Sigma's voice: "There seems to be only one choice now... I'll possess you!"
Sigma appears as a virus. Y tries to escape, but all doors slam closed when she tries to get away.
Y: "I'm trapped ..."
Sigma: "Ha ha ha. Give up Y. I'll possess your body and rule the whole world!!"
BOOM!
Dr. Doppler blows a hole through the ceiling and jumps on top of Sigma.
Sigma: "Aaarrrgggg ... You're Doppler ... How did you obtain this ..."
Dr. Doppler: "How do you feel now, Sigma? Did you like my special vaccine for the Sigma virus? Y, I'm sorry to have given you so much trouble. I know I can never really atone for what I've done... But I will try to set things right by taking Sigma with me!"
Sigma: "My program ... is ... fading ..."
Doppler: "Y ... it's ... time to say ... goodbye ..."
Sigma and Doppler start to explode together.
Y runs toward Zero's unconscious body and Chip's limp form, grabs them, and warps out holding the two.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
Y is standing on a hillside, Zero's unconscious body lying next to her on the ground. Chip's limp body is also there.
Y has crushed Sigma's plan once again. But many questions still occupy her mind ...
"Why must humans fight against Reploids ...?"
"And, why must Reploids fight against each other..."
As Y stares at the burning remnants of Doppler's lab, her body trembles from an unknown sorrow.
"What does fate have in store for me now?" she wonders.
She can only hope that someday Dr. Light's plan for her will finally be revealed.
Unknown to Y, her destiny has already been decided.
To save mankind, she must destroy Zero.
But only time will tell, when and why ...

This is the story of the "Parallel Universe" where the one that choused to become a battle robot, wasn't Rock. So Roll is Mega Girl.
You must have recognized some of the scenes from Mega Man X3 for the SNES, PC and PSx. But you also must have read scenes that are completely new, and only happen in this "Parallel universe."
In difference as in Mega Man X, Mega Girl Y is called "Y" by her friends as Mega Man X is called "X" by his friends in his universe. But you have probably noticed this without me telling, I just tough that it would be nice to explain this.
You probably must be wondering:
Why did he called her Y?
Why not Mega Girl X?
The answer is simple, kind of.
Y stands for why, the universal question.
For every why, there is a because, and for every because there's a why.
This serves as a kind of an explanation of infinite questions and infinite answers that Y's existence makes.
I'm sure that when CAPCOM named the character "Mega Man X", they had a good reason for using the letter X. I have a reason for using the letter Y.
