Series: Megaman X (MXZ2) Chapter: 09

Megazero ran toward them and felt more of her strength in her legs returning with every step she took. She ran faster and faster until she was in the battle. She leaped toward Vile and tried to hit him with her sword. X fired his gun buster but Vile dodged it easily. Zero and Megazero with their swords and X with his gun, all three against Vile but none could get close enough to hit him. Zero and Megazero threw their swords at Vile, Vile move to one side to avoid the sword flying toward him. X took this opportunity and threw a punch at Vile. Vile flew back into some bushes and X followed. He turned to Zero and yelled out.

"Zero, take Megazero back to headquarters and I'll meet you there." Zero nodded and took Megazeros' arm and ran, leaving X and Vile behind. Zero pushed some buttons on his arm armor and grabbed Megazero by the waist and they teleported out of the area.

Megazero and Zero walked through the halls, without saying a word. They reached their dorm and Zero entered the code. Suddenly out of nowhere, Iris popped up and squealed.

"Megazero!!! Your back!! What happened?! In those pictures you looked hurt. Were you?!!! What did Vile do to you?" Megazero looked surprised and shook her head.

"I'm okay, thanks for asking." Iris was already talking.

"How did you guys escape? Was there a big battle? What happened?!!!" Iris leaned over toward Zero. "I bet Zero was fighting really hard, huh." Megazero smiled and Zero patted Iris' head and replied.

"We all fought hard and now we're back." Iris blushed and nodded.

"Hey Zero, do you wanna come over and do something? Now that Megazero is back, you don't have to worry anymore and we can go out." Zero looked at Megazero then at Iris.

"Well, maybe later because I think Megazero is really tired from all that has happened." Iris smiled.

"Well, Zero you can come with me while Megazero rests." Zero wrapped his arm around Iris and gave her a small squeeze.

"Not this time, Iris. I think Megazero would like some company while she rests." Iris turned to Megazero.

"I'd like to talk to Zero, Iris." Iris nodded as she let out a sigh.

"Well okay, but Zero you and me got to go out somewhere fun, okay?"

"Alright.." Iris watched them go inside and the door close behind them.

Megazero walked in the dorm and smiled. Zero watched her walk around the dorm, smiling and asked.

"Are you happy to be home again?" Megazero turned to him and nodded.

"You bet." She plopped herself on the bed. Something caught her eye next to the bathroom. Some torn paper was lying on the floor abandoned. Zero watched her pick the torn up photos. She sat on the bed and put them together. She looked at them and asked.

"Vile gave these to you didn't he?" Zero nodded and walked up to her and took the photo puzzle pieces and threw them into the trash.

"He sent a note as well." Zero grabbed the letter from the desk and gave it to Megazero. Megazero placed it next to her.

"I hope you and X weren't worried."

"Of course we were worried about you, Mega. You're our roommate, our friend. How could we not worry?" Megazero blushed and Zero smiled softly and teased. "Are you blushing?" Megazero shook her head and began to head toward the bathroom. She opened the door and stopped.

"What happened here?" Megazero felt him pull her toward him.

"I was so worried I had to let my anger out. I thought Vile was gonna kill you or maybe he could have....." He stopped and looked deeply into Megazeros' eyes. Megazero slowly leaned forward as Zero came toward her face. Megazero then caught herself and detached from Zeros' grasp. She walked next to the bed and picked up the note that Vile wrote and pretended to read it. Zero smiled and thought.

She is so hard to get. But I know now while you were gone; life wasn't the same anymore..

Zero walked toward her. Megazero looked at the words but she didn't read it, she was too busy thinking about Zero.

Oh Zero, you're always so caring in a tough way. When I was with Vile I thought I might never see you again. You are all I ever think about. I know now why you mean so much to me.

She looked up and noticed that Zero was in front of her and he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a tight squeeze. Megazero felt her face turn red again. She looked at Zero and whispered his name. Zero knew what he wanted. He wanted her more then ever. He leaned forward until his nose was touching hers. She looked nervous. Zero smiled and said. "You don't need to be scared, Mega because I care for you so much." Zero brushed his lips with hers. She looked at him with such a delicate stare. He leaned in and locked his lips with hers. His hands automatically went to her waist. He held her there not ever wanting to let go. She removed his helmet and dropped behind him. She felt his armor and her hands motioned Zero. She begged him to take them off. He pulled her closely and held her tight. He slowly pushed her on the bed and laid her down. He broke the kiss only to remove his chest armor and their lips became one once again. Megazero felt his weight shift to one side as she came on top of him. She felt his body all over, not missing a single spot. She felt Zero break the kiss and continue down her neck. Their breathing began to change it pace as Zero continued to go further down. He stopped at her stomach; he watched her sit up and kiss him passionately as she untied his hair. She ran her hands through his hair as well as his back. Zero pulled her closer to him. He felt every curve on her body. The sun was the only thing that was bothering them, it heats as well as their own, cause their bodies to sweat. Zero held her as he moved his hips toward her. Megazero gave a small yelp as Zero pierced her skin. He comforted her and assured his love with a kiss. He moved his hips toward and away from her. She felt it burn the first rocking movements but he kept on reassuring her that it passed. Zero began to feel a burning sensation and he began to moan as he continued to kiss her.

Iris came walking from the corner and knocked on the door. She waited impatiently and knocked again. No response. Iris called out.

"You guys there?" Iris stood quietly waiting. She looked at her watch and thought. Iris shook her head and left.

Iris's banging wasn't worth Zero's or Megazero's awake. Sleeping Zero had her tightly in his arms. Megazero had her head on his shoulder and Zeros head on tops of hers. Both sleeping peacefully, under the sheets. The moon was barely replacing the sun, when the phone rang. Megazero opened one eye and waited for the phone to stop but it kept on ringing. She got out of Zeros' arms and answered the phone. Zero opened his eyes and looked up at Megazero. She sat up and Zero placed his head on her bare lap and closed his eyes as he listened to his surroundings...its was wonderful. For once he didn't mind having his body sweaty. He looked at her body and smiled to himself as he turned to her and mouthed out "I love you" She smiled and tapped his nose and caressed his hair and she stopped and hung up the phone in an unpleasant manner. Zero yawned and asked.

"Mega, what's wrong?" Megazero looked seriously out the window and replied softly.

"Vile has X. We got go now, Zero." Zero got up immediately.

"I forgot all about X!! Let's go!!"

Vile waited next to an unconscious X on the floor. He smiled as Zero and Megazero appeared. Vile got up and waited for them to get a little closer.

"X?!!!" Zero yelled. X didn't respond. Vile laughed.

"Don't bother. You and him will meet soon." He turned to Megazero. "My sweet, sweet Megazero. Where were you? I think you should finish your mission before the night is over, don't you think so?" Megazero looked at him and then at Zero. Vile waited for an answer. "You don't remember your mission? Well then let me remind you. Your mission was to kill X and Zero." Zero felt a knot in his stomach as he looked at her. She looked Zero and replied.

"That was my mission but I swear I wasn't going to kill you. I left Vile and the mavericks a long time ago." Zero looked at Vile and his smile full of satisfaction.

"What the hell do you want, Vile?" Vile held a hand out to Megazero.

"I just want my goddess back." Zero snorted and walks in front of Megazero.

"You can't have her." Vile looked mad and replied.

"We'll see about that. Wont he, Megazero?" Zero yelled out.

"What the fuck are you talking about, Vile?" Vile laughed loudly.

"Zero, don't you remember the chip in Megazero? That will double her strength and her love will turn into hatred and hatred into love. Isn't that lovely?" Zero growled as Vile continued. "All I have to do is say two words and push this button and boom, goodbye Zero and X." Megazero looked at Zero and whispered

"The only way to stop me is to kill Vile. His chip will be destroyed as well as mine and ......" Megazero paused and finished. "As well as myself." Zero shook his head.

"I'm not losing you again, not now." Vile yelled out.

"Megazero are you gone finish your mission or do you need some motivation?" Megazero kept quiet. Vile nodded and said. "I see, don't worry Megazero, it'll only hurt for the rest of your life." Vile pressed the button and yelled out. "HEAVENS' DOOR!!!!!" Megazero felt something sharp go through her body and stay in her head, she immediately cried out as a blinding light surrounded her body. Zero took a step back and yelled out.

"MEGA!!!!" Megazero fell to her knees. She held her head and shaking it violently she screamed out.

"Stop Vile!!! You can't control me!!" Zero felt the ground drop a little. All the pressure on Megazero caused the ground to be pushed in. Zero heard Vile's laughter as he tried to get closer to her. He had to close his eyes from the bright light but it was too strong for him to bear. The light around her body suddenly exploded. Zero covered his face from the strong wind, he tried to keep his feet on the ground but he flew back. Vile watched in amazement as he opened his eyes and saw Megazero, with her head down. Zero got up and looked at Megazero. He got up and waited for her to move. She was sitting on her legs and crying softly. Confused, Vile approached her cautiously.

"What?! What is going on? This isn't suppose to happen." Vile snapped as he watched her. She began to cry a little louder, like a child, she just sat there, waiting. Zero ran to her before Vile was able to touch her. He picked her up and faced Vile. Vile looked confused and called out her name. Zero looked down at her and she didn't respond. She was still crying, she looked up at Zero and then Vile. She began to calm down and pulled her face from her hands. Zero looked shocked as he laid his eyes on hers, they were lifeless. The sparkling color was gone. Her beautiful blue eyes were now dull and black. Zero stood her up and realized that she could barely hold herself up. Megazero stood there motionless, with Zero supporting most of her weight. Vile pressed his button again and yelled the two same words, Megazero closed her eyes; waiting for her body to react but nothing happened. Vile snarled.

"Megazero, come to me now. I command you!!" Megazero stayed in Zero's arms and heard Vile yell out the same words. Megazero softly pushed herself away from Zero and began to walk as best as she could toward Vile. Vile smiled as Zero grabbed her arm.

"Mega, don't go. Grab a hold of yourself." Megazero stopped and looked at Vile then at Zero. She looked confused; she didn't know who to listen to. She continued to stand there, waiting for someone to command her until the chip was ready. Zero continued to look at Megazero, she was confused, and he knew something was up with the way the chip was reacting. Vile leaped from behind her and attacked Zero. Zero let go of Megazero and jumped out of the way. Vile smiled and retreated taking Megazero with him. Zero stood up and watched Vile wrap his arms around Megazero.

"I know why your chip isn't working yet." He nuzzled her. Zero felt a stream of jealously running through him as Vile ran hand through her body. "I'm sure you know why you haven't truly awakened yet as well." He looked at Zero and smiled as he played with her. "It's just that you're taking a little bit longer to awake than what it took me." Zero growled and pulled his sword out. He continued to watch Vile disgustingly hold Megazero. She just stood there like a mannequin, motionless and almost lifeless. Vile made sure Zero was watching as he began to kiss her. Zero held on to his sword and sliced a tree next to him and yelled out.

"Stop playing your sickening games, Vile." Vile broke the kiss and replied.

"We must be patient, Zero. I know you want your pathetic life to end soon but the chip hasn't taken over her body completely." Zero looked at X. Vile picked X up and laughed. "Too bad X isn't awake. But I'm sure he'll wake up just in time to see your last moments of life." Megazero pushed herself from Vile and stood up straight. She closed her eyes as another bright light appeared from her body.

Zero blinked a couple times as his eyes were adjusting to the quick flash of light. Megazero stood straight and looked at Vile. Vile laughed loudly.

"Megazero, I'm glad you're back. I've been waiting for you for a long, long time." Megazero gave him an evil smile as Vile pointed to Zero. "Remember your mission, Megazero? Go finish the job so we can go home." Megazero turned to Zero and gave him an immoral stare.

Another chapter done. Yay!! Well Megazero's love for Zero is now turned into hatred, will Zero dare hit the one he loves? And if one of the chips is destroyed then both, Vile and Megazero go boom. Tough decision for X and Zero isn't it? Well, until the next chapter!! Bye Bye.
