Chapter 8

Showdown on forbidden island

The flutter sped across the sky maintaining it's course towards forbidden island. Trigger prepared himself for anything he thought might be waiting for him. He equipped himself with his armor, his mega buster and his machine buster the machine gun-like weapon that Roll had made for him and stood at the entrance to the flutter.

Roll's voice came over the intercom "we have arrived at forbidden island, good luck Megaman" she said in a caring tone of voice. The flutter came to a slow stop on the far end of the island, Trigger jumped out and landed on the island. Tron looked out the door and yelled to him "remember, that freak has my brothers so try not to provoke him OK?" she reminded him. He turned back and gave her the OK signal then, he ran off towards the center of the island.

He journeyed through the islands perimeter dodging reverbots who normally reside on the outskirts of the island. When he reached the center of the island, he heard Rell's voice over his communicator "ca you see anything Megaman?" she asked as she awaited his response. "No I don't" he replied "I guess I'll head back to the flutter". He turned around to head back to the flutter when he heard a voice behind him.

"you've finally arrived Trigger" said the voice from a distance. Trigger turned around to find that someone was standing on a cliff a few feet away. "who are you?" asked Trigger demandingly "the name is Zero" replied the man on the cliff. Zero wore red futuristic armor, had a glowing green beam sword in his right hand and wore a look of utter determination on his face. He had long golden hair and green eyes, and he didn't look like he just wanted to talk.

"What have you done with the Bonnes?" asked Trigger getting ready to fire his buster.

"they're in a safe place, don't worry about them" he replied and jumped off the cliff swinging his sword "you should worry more about you're self" he continued as he landed on the ground nearly striking Trigger.

"so, it's a fight you want?" asked Trigger "in a manner of speaking" replied Zero as he jumped backwards and prepared for combat. Trigger stared him down, examining him as he planned his battle strategy. Zero did the same, but with a smug look on his face as if he knew he was going to win.

Zero jumped into the air and pointed his sword downward, as he descended he shouted "earth shaker" his sword began to glow red and as it struck the ground, rocks flew up into the air and a crevice opened up under Trigger. "See you next fall" said Zero attempting a lame pun as Trigger fell into the crevice.

Later

Trigger awoke in a dark cavern, he rose to his feet and searched the area. He finally came across a cave that led to the surface, when he got there, he found Zero sitting on a rock waiting for him. "well, well, well" he started "look what the mavericks dragged in" mavericks are futuristic versions of reverbots that could appear anywhere at any time.

""Zero" Trigger growled "why didn't you finish me off?" he asked. Zero laughed "because I wanted to have a little more fun before I destroyed you and obtained the master's genetic code". Trigger gasped in surprise "how.. how do you know about the master?" he asked. Zero rose from his rock "how I know and what I know wont matter to you, because you wont be around much longer anyway".

"Dream on, I wouldn't dare lose to a creep like you" exclaimed Trigger preparing his buster. Zero scowled at him in dismay "if that's the case" he started "then cut the chit chat and fight me".

Zero jumped into the air again and yelled "earth shaker" he opened another crevice, but Trigger jumped out of the way just in time. As Zero was pulling his sword out of the ground, Trigger seized the opportunity and fired a buster shot at Zero's back. It was a direct hit, but Zero still managed to stand back up.

"nice shot, but you wont get another one" exclaimed Zero. He took his sword and charged full force at Trigger, he slashed at him and nipped his armor. "He's fast" Trigger thought to himself as he dodged Zero's blade. Trigger spun around and let loose a powerful blast that caught Zero in the head. Zero shook it off and charged again. Trigger fired a round of shots from his machine buster catching Zero a few times in the shoulder.

Zero leapt into the air and slammed his sword down in an attempt to slash Trigger but missed. "What's wrong Zero? Losing you're fighting edge?" mocked Trigger as he punched Zero in the chest. Zero fell to the ground after the punch and passed out.

Trigger fell back and sat on the ground then pulled out his communicator.

"Roll I need a pick up for two right away" he said in an exhausted voice. "two, did you find someone down there?" asked Roll. "I guess you could say that" said Trigger laughing slightly.

Later on the flutter

Trigger explained everything that happened while he was exploring the island. Roll was surprised that Trigger brought Zero back to the ship. "Why on earth did you bring him to the sick bay?" she asked "I don't know, I just felt like I should do it" replied Trigger as he lay back on the couch.

"Did you find my brothers?" asked Tron eagerly. "No" replied Trigger "they must have been moved to a different location". Tron groaned and began to sulk, then a voice came from over the intercom.

"Don't give up so easily everyone" said the voice "I may just know the location of the missing Bonnes". Trigger smiled "welcome back Yuna and Sera oh and you too Gatz"

Gatz's voice came over the intercom "thank you master Tigger, now please hold on tight we are currently on route to a shrine where we believe the Bonnes are being held".

The flutter sped off, hopefully, in the direction of the Bonne brothers.
