The Maverick In-road
By Regulus 777
Chapter II The new G-Unit
A/N: I finally decided to type out the 2nd chapter. Not like that matters too much as I didn't get many reviews, but what can I expect with this being such a popular section eh? So onto the 2nd chapter
Disclaimer: All characters besides Zalz, Gioz, Tempesta, Slish, Miles, Volt, and Plasmo belong to Capcom. But those characters I thought of are heavily influenced by Capcom's ideas anyways.
A tall powerful looking maverick sat in a throne in his mechanical castle. He was hardly noticeable in the dim lit room. Eight Maverick Commanders stepped in for a scheduled meeting. They all took their seats and the one in the throne who was obviously the leader began, "Other then here we have only 8 fortresses left. You each control one of these fortresses. The Maverick hunters have either destroyed or captured all the rest. Our Empire is falling apart. We are low on supplies and it seems the war is about to end in our defeat. I wish to know each of your thoughts." A tall winged Maverick was quick to respond, "I Storm Eagle will fight it out until the very end my liege." A short damp Maverick crossed his arms and stated with confidence in his words, "Why bother continue fighting? We have to pull out of this planet as soon as we can." The leader replied, "That is impossible Bubble Crab. We don't have the fuel or ships to get all of us to another planet." Launch Octopus called out "Sire! We are all going to die sooner or later without reinforcements." Sting Chameleon nodded and added, "What happened to the relief we were promised?" The leader stood up and walked over to a nearby window and he looked out. "Vile failed to get us the supplies we needed from the city." He muttered. "What the hell do we do now?" Morph Moth said panicking. Slash Beast volunteered himself, "Let me take a unit to get the supplies then!" The leader still looking out the window stayed calm, "There is no reason to waste more units on trying to get supplies from the city. It's too risky and we need to be more cautious. I would like 2 volunteers from among you." Magna Centipede and Web Spider who had been silent until then stood up. Magna asked "Let us have the pleasure of serving you Sire." The leader nodded, "Okay then. It is decided. Thank you for attending the rest of you may head back to your bases. As for reinforcements, I'll send what I can when I can." The 6 other mavericks took their leave quietly. The leader looked at his two volunteers, "You will take 2 of our last ships with full fuel and good crews. I want you to go to the moon Ultaram. You must get resources and build an army of reinforcements for us. We will hold out here as long as possible. Depart immediately." Magna and Web dashed for the docking bay in their anticipation for this new mission they had been assigned. The leader sat back in the throne alone again, "This is it. This is the beginning of the final phase of this war!"" he told himself.
X stepped into Maverick Hunter HQ late in the evening. He made his way to the barracks. When he got there he received a message from the City Council that the Hunters served. He read the message....
Captain Megaman X,
You have served our city constantly and without question and we appreciate it, but we are sorry to inform you that we have a new mission for you. Bring 2 others. No one else will be needed. We have created a special unit for you to command. They are top of the line, well built models who will serve you well, like you have done for us. When the mission is complete you can keep the unit as our gift of thanks. You will be briefed upon arrival at the Council building.
Best Regards,
The City Council
X folded the letter and put it on a nearby table. He thought to himself, "Hmm.. I bet Zero would come along and help me out. Who else could I bring though?" He sat in his room and fixed a few minor damages he had and then polished his armor for the next day's meeting. X lie down and put himself in sleep mode.
Quite early in the morning the next day, he went to Zero's room and knocked on his door. Zero quickly opened it. "Hey X, so what's new?" he said. X replied, "Are you interested in going on a mission with me? I need two others to come with me to the council building and I thought I'd ask you." Zero nodded, "Sure I'll come with you." He grabbed his saber and shut his door. As they walked out of the barracks Zero asked, "So who else is gonna come with us?" "I'm not all that sure. Let's stop by the lab first." X said. The 2 reploids walked into the lab. "Why'd you want to come to the lab anyway?" Zero asked. "I wanted to check on our friend Vile." X stated. Vile was in a tank, his physical damages nearly repaired. The scientists were trying a new vaccine to make Mavericks return to normal. Vile was one of their test subjects. "Are the experiments finished yet?" X asked patiently. "The testing and first experiments are done but we don't think he is ready." the scientist in charge replied. "Open the tank!" X ordered. "Are you insane!!!" Zero screamed. "Vile could start running amok killing scientists!" he continued. X said calmly, "Vile is unarmed and I'm here. There is nothing to fear. Now open the tank!" the scientists did as they were ordered. Vile's eyes lit up and he looked around. He saw X and he reached to his shoulder instinctively. He was dumbfounded to find his shoulder-cannon had been removed. "Huh.." he said doubtfully. X grabbed him by the shoulders and looked him in the eyes. "You are going to be one of us now Vile. Calm yourself!" "Where is my unit and equipment?" Vile asked confused. "Your unit was completely annihilated and you were damaged. Your old equipment is no longer functional and is beyond repair." X answered. Vile asked "What am I supposed to do now? My allies will never take me back!" "Come with me on a mission and you can prove yourself to me and join my unit instead." X explained. "Okay, as long as I can fight, it doesn't matter to me." Vile accepted. "Looks like we found our third partner eh Zero?" X stated. "Can you really trust him? You practically fought to the death yesterday!" Zero was skeptical. "Oh come on Zero! Think of how useful he could be on our side! He no longer has his rash attitude and he is willing to fight on our side." X argued. "I guess we can try it.." Zero said still doubtful. They walked over to the weapon room and gave Vile a basic plasma rifle. They then departed for the council building.
It was just another day at the council building. Humans were going about their business and doing paper work. X and his two companions stepped into the auditorium. The human council had already taken their seats and was waiting. One of the older council members jumped at the sight of Vile. "What is that evil maverick doing here?!?! He's the one that attacked the armory the yesterday!" X was quick to explain, "I had the scientists switch him to our side with a new vaccine. He won't harm any of you." Another council member reassured, "we can trust X's judgment. Let's just begin." He hit a button and a large platform appeared in the center of the room. He continued, "X I'm now going to show you the new maverick hunters known as the G-unit. These are the ones we told you about in the letter." X told Vile and Zero to take seats and watch. Quite interested himself, X soon joined them. 7 capsules were placed just off the platform. One of them was then placed in the center of the platform and was opened. An average sized reploid dressed like a military officer stepped out and saluted. He even had one of those repliforce looking hats. He seemed to have the basic arm cannon like X. A member of the council went on to describe him, "This is Zalz he is only a decent fighting reploid, but he has good knowledge of battle tactics." Zalz then performed his demo. He jumped about 12 feet into the air, landed, rolled and fired his arm cannon at targets. A large fireball propelled from his arm and on contact the fireball bursted into a giant flame destroying six of the targets and scorching the rest in the general area. "His fireball launcher has a good range and when it bursts it spreads about 15 feet wide." the council member continued. Zalz bowed and stepped off the platform. The 2nd capsule opened and a big bulky medieval styled reploid came out. He was holding a mace with sparks emitting from it. "His armor is very thick also meaning his agility suffers but he is quite powerful. His mace electrocutes opponents on contact." A test robot ran toward the big knight. The knight swung the mace with deadly accuracy. The robot was flung from the platform and was smashed into pieces on a nearby wall. Sparks lit the room as this happened. "We call him Volt cause of his electric mace." Volt bowed and joined Zalz who had taken a seat across the platform from X and co. The next reploid jumped out of his capsule. When he landed he activated a claw on his right hand and pulled out a saber with his other hand. He had a pointed pad on his left shoulder and a left shin guard. He was thin. He also had long hair like Zero only his was a sky blue color. He dashed around, swinging his saber and claw violently and he added some rolls and dodges to his demo. After a minute or so he sat down. "That was Slish, he's quite agile and he fights defensively. Our next hunter is Gioz." A middle sized reploid who was very heavily armored just barely managed to hurl himself onto the platform, which was only a about a foot off the ground. He had a double barreled machine buster on his left arm and a single load rocket launcher hung on his back. "For obvious reasons we cannot display his full power in this room. So we won't." the council stated. Gioz lifted his arm and shot some bullets from his machine busters. He effortlessly destroyed a few targets. He had incredible accuracy and range. He slowly walked to the others and sat down. The next hunter was quite interesting. It was female and wore a long white mantle. She pulled out a laser rifle and shot a few targets with quick accurate aim. She pulled out a sparkling whip. She used it as a rope and swung it around dangerously. "We call her Tempesta. Her whip is almost the exact same design as Volt's mace. So basically she is a faster lighter armored version of Volt." the council member explained. The 2nd last capsule opened. He was called Plasmo. He was amazing with a plasma katana and throwing plasma knives and axes. He had medium armor. The last capsule quickly opened. A cloaked reploid stepped out. A saber dangled from his side and a halberd strapped to his back. His face was hidden by a helmet with a tinted face shield. The council member asked him "Miles, please display your skills." Miles took off his helmet "I only use my skills when necessary." he said stroking his short red hair. He then sat down. "He is a little rash and overconfident at times but he will not fail you in battle." the announcing council member finished.
X stood up, "Very good soldiers you've got here. I'm sure we'll complete the mission fine. Now what is it that we must do?" The leader of the council briefed, "You shall take a train to an old military warehouse. We think the mavericks are trying to turn it into some type of facility. The train's engineer knows exactly where to go. Head out immediately." X nodded and took the 7 new recruits with him to the train station.
A/N: I will try, err... *cough* ..probably won't. *cough* get the next chapter to you shortly. Farewell! Mwahahaha! (Disappears)
