Chapter 3 The Beginning of the End

Rockman and Blues ended up in a hidden laboratory, somewhere they had not been before. The ran after Forte. They ended up in room, there stood Forte, standing over another robot. "Forte what are you doing."

"I have been summoned by Dr. Wily, Rockman. I am the prototype of a new type of robot, and new program."

"The Zero Virus."

"How do you know that?."

"Someone called X told me."

"X? I have never heard of anyone named X." He looked at the robot below him. "This is Zero, the strongest robot that has ever been made. Dr. Right's new robot will have no chance against him."

"There is no way I am going to let you activate him."

"Rockman, you don't have much of a choice."

Rockman raised his buster. "I won't let you do this." Rockman charged his buster. "Sorry Forte." Rockman fired, hitting Forte in the head. Forte looked over his shoulder, and he fired a buster shot at Rockman.

Rockman's world slowed down, he saw the blast coming at him, and there wasn't anything he could do. He wanted to move, but nothing to him would respond. "Rockman." Then he saw Blues, push him over, Blue was person who took the blast from Forte. Blues fell to the ground, he had a hole through his head, Blues was dead.

Forte continued to activate Zero. Rockman fired at Forte, but they just bounced off his like they were nothing. "Zero will be activated in 48 hours. You have to beat me, and kill him. You can't even hurt me, Zero will be over 5 times stronger than I am, so I don't think you'll win." Rockman became quite angry, but his rage just wasn't enough, Forte was over twice as strong as he was, there was no way that he could beat Forte.

"Rockman, if you will excuse me, I have more people to kill." Forte left, and Rockman right after him. Rockman hunted him down to the ruins of West City.

"You are persistent Rockman. Today is the day that the legend of Rockman will end."

"If I die today, I will take you with me."

"If I die, it will be only a matter before Zero will activate and the world as you know it was be gone."

"Forte, we worked hard to beat Wily the last time, and now you want to end everything we have worked so hard to do."

"I will live forever as the first person to beat Rockman."

"I don't think that will happen." Rockman maneuvered and fired, shooting everything his little buster had in it. Forte was just too much for Rockman, the Rock buster had no effect.

"There is no way Rockman, you buster is too weak, it can't damage me at all." Rockman had one option left. He charged his buster, he sneaked behind Forte, he put his arms around Forte, putting his hand in his buster.

"I have one." The Rock buster exploded, Forte had pieces everywhere, he was dead. Rockman laid there, his arms destroyed, his chest severely damaged. Rockman was breathing heavily, he was dying.

"Rock." Roll ran over to Rockman's side. "Rock, are you going to be aright?"

"Roll, my dear sister. Blues is dead, Forte too. I am soon going to join them."

"Rock, you can't die on me."

"I am sorry Roll, but you'd better watch out for yourselves, Wily made a robot over 10 times stronger that I am. A robot named Zero. There will be no one to protect you."

"No, if I have to die, I will die."

"Roll, remember, this was the way I chose to live, and I will never regret being converted into fighter. Goodbye Roll." Rockman head was limb, he had died. Roll started to cry.

"Roll, there was nothing he loved more than to save the world, you know that."

"Dr. Right, why did he have to die."

"It was the end of Rock, this could have happened a long time ago, he was very lucky, there were many battles he fought in, I am very surprised that he lasted as long as he did. Rock is gone, but there will someone to replace him, Rockman X."

"It won't be that easy to replace Rock, Dr. Right. He was my best friend, my brother, my other half."

"Roll, I knew you would take this hard, but you must remember, Rock is resting now, and there is nothing we can do. Come on, let's go home." They took Rockman's body and headed back to the lab.

The 48 hours have passed since the death of Forte, Blues, and Rock. "Dr. Right, there is something happening."

"What is Roll."

"West City is being attacked again."

"What." Dr. Right ran over to the television. "Who is this time." There was a red robot, he had long blonde hair, dark blue eyes.

"This must be Zero."

"Zero?"

"Rock told me in 48 hours that there would be another robot to terrorize the world, 10 times stronger than Rock was. There is no one to save us. How long before you finish Rockman X."

"He won't be ready for quite a while."

"Then I would put him up. Zero might come here and kill us."

"What make you think that?"

"Rock is dead, why not take out the source of Rock."

"You have a point Roll." Dr. Right place Rockman X in a secret place in his lab, a secret underground compartment. "Where is Zero now."

"Right here." There stood Zero, he had his buster out at Dr. Right and fired, Dr. Right was killed. "You must be Rockman's sister Roll. I am sorry, but." He fired his buster and Roll was killed. "This new Z buster is awesome."

"Zero, we have work to do." There stood an older looking robot, he had wild hair, to his side.

"Coming Isoc." Isoc left. "This is the end of Dr. Right's legacy." Zero left.
