The resurrection of Bass-Chapter 3
X, Zero, and Axl arrived at the quarry. There were several drilling machines out side. The place was quiet. Oddly quiet.
"What happened?" Said X. "Where is everyone?"
"There was no sign of a struggle," Zero said examining the site.
"We'd better stay on our toes," said Axl, drawing his guns.
"There's no need for that yet," X said, lowering Axl's guns. "Maybe everyone is just still inside." They ran to the entrance to the mine. It was totally dark. They took out some lights and stared looking around.
"Hello?" X yelled. His voice echoed off the wall of the cave they were in. They continued down the pathway and came to a giant steel door.
"What?" Zero said. "What the hell is a giant steel door doing in the middle of a cave?"
"I dunno, but look, its open," Axl pointed out.
"Ya, there might be someone in there," Zero answered. They all walked through the door. Inside was what looked like the ruins of a building of some sort. There was fallen rubble and scraps of metal all over.
"Eww, what happened here?" Zero asked, kicking a pile of rubble away. All of a sudden, X felt very uneasy.
"Guys, I've got a very bad feeling about this," he said.
"What's up?" Axl said, raising his guns again. "Are we about to be attacked?"
"No, it's not that, it's just…I feel like..i've been here before," X said.
"What? That's impossible!" Zero replied, "By the looks of things this place has been destroyed for at least a thousand years."
"I know, I know, but it's just a feeling." But then they heard something. It sounded like someone walking. The trio turned around.
"Who's there?" X asked. The sound of walking just continued. Then they could see a figure.
"Megaman, your just making this easier on me," said a mysterious voice. They saw a flash of light and a humming sound.
"He's got a gun! Hit the dirt!" Zero yelled. A blast of light flew at them, but they ducked just in time. X had his blaster charging, Zero unsheathed his sword, and Axl aimed his gun at the figure.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" X yelled behind his blaster.
"Megaman, don't tell me you don't remember who I am," said the voice, still not revealing his identity.
"My name is Megaman X, and I don't have time for memory games. Tell us who you are, or were going to take you in!"
"That's just like you isn't it, always trying to talk your way out of things." The figure shot another blast that X and his crew, but this time he hit X and knocked him down.
"X!" Axl yelled, looking at his fallen leader. Axl then looked at Zero, as if waiting for instructions.
"Take him down!" Zero yelled as he ran up to the figure. He jumped into the air and did an overhead slash. But the figure grabbed his beamsaber and blocked him in midair.
"Your new, not strong, but new." The figure blasted zero right in the chest, and sent him flying back next to Axl. Axl realized that he was outmatched, and if he stayed, he would die. He grabbed his friends and prepared to teleport back to hunter base. But before he could leave the figure spoke again.
"Tell them Bass is back, and hungry for revenge."
