Chapter 4
The Maverick Hunter
Roll, Protoman, and Shadow Man managed to escape back to the base with their lives. Dr. Light, Auto, and Duo greeted them at the door. Shadow Man handed Dr. Light the helmet and said, "We got it... But uh, Bass got caught by this weird red and white reploid with a yellow cape." Dr. Light's eyes got large, "Zero!! Zero has awakened! We must hurry, we have to start making reploids." Dr. Light said and hurried into his laboratory with Auto at his side.
Dr. Light and Duo where gone for days upon weeks. Roll, Shadow Man, Protoman and Duo just practiced their fighting skills until Dr. Light re-emerged from his lab and said, "I have made a machine that will make reploids every hour, it will take some time to make a Megaman replacement, but it can be done. Now, you four must go save Bass!" The four hurried off towards Dr. Wiley's base.
Bass sat shackled on the walls watching Zero and Wiley pace back and fourth waiting for something. Zero walked over to Bass and got right in his face, "You will die, you must know that. I intend to make you suffer, so much that you wish that you where never manufactured. I will torture you, your death will be slow and painful!" Zero said and grabbed the small metal cylinder from his side and suddenly a jagged beam of green light appeared from it, "This is the Z Saber, you and it are about to do some bonding." Zero placed the sword in Bass' gut and twisted, dear god Bass wished that he had no pain receptors, but all reploids did. Bass clenched his teeth and groaned in pain as slowly Zero inserted the sword deeper and deeper into Bass' stomach. Zero twisted the Z Saber and Bass let out a loud shriek of utter pain, but Zero only smiled at Bass. "Not so powerful now, are you weakling?" Zero smiled at Bass. Bass channeled his power (that which he had left) to form his ultimate form. The yellow trim on Bass' body turned purple, two large metallic wings sprouted from his back and Bass broke his shackles. Bass grabbed Zero by the neck and slammed his small body into the ground and knocked him on the face with his buster. Zero placed his feet on Bass' stomach and flipped him over his head. Zero placed his Z Saber in Bass' chest and said, "Nice try weakling, but not good enough." Zero raised his saber to cut Bass down the middle. Suddenly the door broke down and Roll, Protoman, Duo, and Shadow Man burst in. Bass reverted to his normal form as his battery began to fade.
Roll, Shadow Man, Protoman, and Duo broke into Wiley's chamber where Wiley sat at a chair, while Zero was about to turn Bass to scrap metal. Zero rushed forward at Shadow Man, the Z Saber out and stuck it in Shadow Man's chest, he moved it up, down, left, and right and Shadow man fell into four pieces. Duo laid a punch on Zero, Zero was knocked back into the wall and Wiley left the room. Zero sat up and growled at Duo, he rushed forward with his saber out to his side and fired his retro thrusters as he went around Duo several times. When Zero stopped, Duo fell to the ground in several pieces. Roll fired at Zero and knocked the Z Saber out of his hand. Zero's buster began to glow brightly and he put it about three feet from Roll. Protoman jumped in front of the blast with his shield. Zero fired into the shield, and kept feeding the blast. "Go Roll, get Bass!" Protoman said to Roll. "No! He'll kill you!" Roll protested. "Dammit Roll! Go get Bass and get out of here. Now!" Protoman yelled at Roll. Roll nodded and threw Bass over her shoulder (Which was not easy since Bass was twice the size of most reploids. Protoman's shield gave way to the wave of powerful energy from Zero and the once powerful reploid Protoman was now a smoking crater.
Roll carried Bass out of the base, she reached the room where they fought the Yellow Devil when all of the Mavericks dropped down in front of her. Roll tried to turn around and go back, but Zero was standing almost one foot away from her. Zero smiled as he pushed Bass' barely awake body to the ground. "Come my darling... Be my bride." Zero said as he forced Roll to give him a kiss, Roll had hoped that her first kiss would be better. Zero forced his tongue into Roll's mouth and she bit down on it. Zero backed away, "Ooh, feisty." Just how I likes em!" he said. Suddenly there was a scraping noise to be heard outside and the door opened, in the door stood a tall bald headed reploid with black and white armor, "I am Sigma the Maverick Hunter! You will fall to my superior powers!" Sigma rushed forward and took the heads off of Launch Octopus and Chill Penguin. Flame Mammoth, Armored Armadillo, and Sting Chameleon charged at Sigma and met the end of his energy scythe and where sliced to bits. Storm Eagle and Spark Mandrill where sliced to Ribbons and Boomer Kuwanger was cut in half. Zero was the only Maverick left standing. Suddenly a large arm appeared and knocked Sigma on the head and a green ray held him suspended in it in mid air. Roll grabbed Bass and ran like there was no tomorrow, and for all she knew, there wasn't. Zero rushed off after Roll.
