Okay! Here's the third chapter. It's gonna tell about X and Zero's
discovery of Sigma on the island, and some other stuff. ( Hope you like
it!
P.S. This hopes to explain nothing at all. It just delves deeper into X's scenario up until the time where both MegaMan's meet.

Chapter 3
POV = X/Zero
PRESENT
X made a small thump as he landed on the sandy beach. He surveyed the surroundings immediately, as he had trained himself to do. It was a perfectly normal beach, with sands and seashells. Beyond the rock wall encasing the small enclave, was an amazing forest. Even from here, X could tell it had barely been touched in many years. He yearned to live in such a peaceful place such as that, with no fighting, and no more deaths. Even while thinking this, another part of X's mind told him that it would never happen until he died. X could here Zero and the other Hunters drop down behind him. He kept looking beyond though. He could vaguely see a large lab or factory of some sort way in the middle of the forest. He turned aorund and patted got Zero's attention.
"Hey, Zero. Is that our target?"
Zero perked up at the sound of his partner's voice.
"Yeah. Maverick activity is being detected there for some strange reason. It's a totally empty place. But if it's Sigma, you know that Signas would only send you and me."
"Yeah, I know. I it is Sigma deep down in my heart, but I wish it wasn't. Fighting him makes me think of all the bad things going on in the world. And Zero, you know my position on those things."
"Yeah."
Zero turned around and called the Hunters to assemble. He motioned to X to stand next to him. As the Hunters assembled, Zero cleared his voice.
"Ahem. Are you guys all ready?"
The whole group spoke in unison, a sign of superior training. "Yes, sir!"
MegaMan looked at Zero, and Zero looked back. MegaMan's eyes seemed to ask, Are you ready? Zero's eyes seemed to say, You don't even have to ask that.
Zero looked back to the group.
"Here's the plan. Since there's 8 of us total here, we're going to split up into two groups. One will climb up the rock hill here and proceed on that way to the factory in the distance. We'll call it point Alpha. The second group will trudge through the forest. I'll head the group in the mountains, and X'll lead the path through the forest. Here are your assignments."
X looked around the small group of Hunters. These were supposedly some of the most elite and available Hunters in the MHHQ. They were almost all from different Units, and most of them had no idea who the person standing next to them was. X began to wonder if he and Zero could bring all of these reploids back without using bodybags. But when Zero started talking, X snapped to attention. He had to get his group together.
"All right. Listen up. My group will be Art, Mac, and Terry. X's group will be Gunner, Rad, and Shrapnel. X and I both have transmitters to the other group, and each of your headsets have been set to the same frequency as our transmitters so we can keep in touch whenever the need arises. Got it?"
The Hunters spoke in unison. "Yes, sir!"
Zero saluted. "Then get to your posts. Hopefully, we'll all meet up at Point Alpha unharmed.
X looked around and raised his hand, signaling everybody to stop for a moment. "Just in case, I've established a Point Beta. Can you see the large clearing over in the middle of the forest over there?"
Mumbling and muttering answered X.
"All right. That'll be Point Beta. In case, for some reason, you cannot reach Point Alpha, go to Point Beta and contact us, and we'll meet up there and find a way past your problem. Got it? Good. My group, over here."
X motioned for his members to meet where he was standing. Three reploids approached him. One was Shrapnel, the silver and black reploid he and Zero had met on the ship. The other two, Gunner and Rad, were both common- looking reploids. Gunner was a small reploids with no buster. Instead, X saw two guns in holsters along his legs, and a larger rifle slung across his back. He was a blue and white reploid with shoulder pads of a silver color. The other, Rad, was a pure white. He had a helmet with a visor, so X couldn't see his face. But., Rad was a different reploids. He looked like a normal reploid, colored out of red and blue. His body was blue, and his gloves and boots were red. He had actually two busters. X could tell by the two marks on either arm. X looked over at Zero's group before he focused back on his.
"Okay, group. We'll moving through the forest. If you're wondering, Zero's Z-Saber just doesn't work in the forest, and that's why we're taking the forest. I hope none of you object."
X looked around, and saw no change of expressions. He noticed Shrapnel looked a little fearful though. X made a mental note to talk with him later.
"Okay, here's how we'll."
Boom! X was blown forward along with Rad into the sand more than 6 feet away. Shrapnel and Gunner both drew their weapons, Shrapnel, a buster, and Gunner, a gun. Zero turned around and drew his saber as the rest of his group all drew their weapons. X got up out of the ground and pulled up Rad with him. He turned around and saw a really familiar face. From his first battle with Sigma, it was Storm Eagle. The reploid bird was a towering figure, with large purple wings with a huge wingspan. His buster was capable of extreme winds that almost blew him away the last time he fought with him.
"Har har har! So it's you two! X and Zero!"
Zero lowered his saber a bit and spoke.
"Well, well, well. It's Storm Eagle. You here to get your wings ripped off again by X and me?"
Storm Eagle scowled at Zero. I was sent here to inform you that you're in for some trouble!"
X stood up and took a step forward. "Who's your boss? Is it Sigma?"
Storm Eagle just laughed. He took a look around, and he spread his wings. "I think you'll guess right. I'm sure we'll meet each other later."
Storm Eagle spread his wings to his full span, and it was impressive. It's wingspan would have fit two other Storm Eagle's put horizontally. He flapped his wings, and the wind resulting forced X to put his hand in front of his face to see. Storm Eagle flew up into the air and away over the forest, to the factory in the distance. X stood there and looked at Zero.
"Zero, at least we know it is Sigma. I'll call Alia and tell her that it's definitely Sigma."
Zero looked back at him. "Got it. We'll be moving out now." Zero looked around and raised his voice. "Everybody watch your backs double-time. Sigma and his Mavericks are hunting around this island. Be careful." Zero looked at X. He spoke in a low voice. "And be careful X. If you have any moral problems, give me a call and I'll head over to your position."
X looked over at is best friend. He spoke to him in a low voice. "Thanks Zero. I really appreciate it."
Zero spoke back in the same low voice. "No problem. Just call me if you need me, all right?"
X responded. "Yeah. Thanks."
Zero looked around the sandy beach. "All right. Everybody move out!"

So what'd you think? Yeah, I know I like writing really long chapters, but that's just me. This did not explain anything, so don't worry if some stuff doesn't make sense. Hopefully, the next chapter will delve a little deeper. Not much, but maybe a little bit. Post!
