Chapter 10
the defeat of an enemy, and the loss of an ally
X charged up his mega buster and prepared to fire at Sigma, but Sigma was to fast and dodged the shot. "Blast" yelped X as he realized he missed "I have to be faster then this if I hope to catch him". Sigma appeared in front of X and punched him into a corner of the room.
"Come now X, is that any way to treat an old friend, well then, I guess I'll just have to teach you some manners" exclaimed Sigma as he took out a beam saber. He raised his saber into the air and swung it down at X but missed at the last second because X rolled out of the way.
"I may be slow Sigma, but I still have fight left in me" said X as he rolled to safety. X stood up again and fired another shot, but Sigma dodged again. "Persistent wretch, I will destroy you" snarled Sigma as he charged again. It seemed as though Sigma was going to win, when out of nowhere a green blade swooped in and blocked Sigma's blade.
"Not so fast Sigma, if you want to destroy X, you'll have to go through me first".
Zero stood blocking Sigma's path to X, Sigma gasped then jumped backward.
"What are you doing?" yelled Sigma "I was slashing at the sky and missed, what does it look like I'm doing?" replied Zero smugly.
"Zero, you remember me?" asked X surprised, Zero nodded and readied his sword.
"Yes, now, let's delete this virus" said Zero as he helped X up. Zero charged forward and slashed at Sigma, Sigma stepped back and clenched his wound. "Impossible, how can you be so fast?" asked Sigma "c'mon Sigma, you should know by now that I'm the fastest of the maverick hunters" replied Zero swinging his long hair around.
X charged up his mega buster again, "you ready Zero" he called, "you bet" replied the red reploid. Zero's sword grew to an immensely large size and X's buster began to gather more energy then it could handle. Both of them turned to Sigma and shouted "saber beam attack" as they combined their attacks into one explosion of power.
In a bright flash of light, Sigma had disappeared. "is he… gone?" asked Trigger watching from afar. "No" replied X and Zero at the same time "he's changing into his ultimate body". Just then a rumbling sound came from under the shrine. "RUN" shouted Zero "it's not safe here anymore, we don't know if we can beat him or not this time around, take the Bonnes and head back to the flutter, if worse comes to worse….. take off without us".
Trigger, Yuna, Sera, Gatz and Data agreed and fled back to the flutter with the Bonnes in hand. Zero and X stood ready to face whatever form Sigma was going to take. A few moments later a large, human-shaped robot appeared out of nowhere and turned toward X and Zero.
"You fools have dared to challenge me" began a voice that sounded like a deeper voiced Sigma "the punishment for such insolence is death". Sigma raised one of his rather large hands and swiped at the hunters. They jumped to dodge it then charged at the robot, Zero slashed at Sigma making a small cut in one of Sigma's legs and X blasted at him making tiny indentions all over the other leg.
"idiots" called Sigma "none can penetrate this indestructible body, this shrine shall be you're grave hunters, bwahahahahahahahaha". Sigma let loose a flurry of lasers from his eyes, but the hunters were to fast. Zero and X looked at each other and new that there was only one way to defeat him. They opened a communications link with the flutter.
"can everyone hear me?" asked X as he defended himself against Sigma, "loud and clear" replied Roll. "I know this may be hard to understand" began X "but I have to send myself back to the future and stay there until I can neutralize Sigma". Everyone gasped and Trigger began to weep. "X you cant go, you've helped me so much, showed me my past and helped my friends as well, we need you, I need you" he said as he cried. X laughed slightly. "Zero will help you from here on Trigger, I will stop Sigma, you need to fulfill you're destiny and stop him here in the past so that he wont destroy the future". X started his time machine and dragged Sigma into the portal with him, as he went he managed to utter one last sentence.
"Good bye… Megaman Trigger, the future is in you're hands….. good luck." The portal closed, and as it did, the only thought in Trigger's head was "will I ever see him again?"
The battle was over, but it felt as though nobody had won.
