The resurrection of Bass-Chapter 11
There was a catastrophe going off at hunter base. The alarms were beeping and Axl and Zero were running towards the trouble.
"What's going on?" Axl asked.
"A whole bunch of Mavericks are attacking the base. Our front line has been decimated."
"We better hurry!" Axl began to run faster, drawing his guns. Zero was able to catch up easily. They made it to a large square room in the base. Zero took out his sword.
"Someone's here. I can feel it." He started looking around the dark room. Axl pointed his guns in different directions. Two bright red eyes lit up in the dark.
"Over there!" Axl yelled.
"Hmmm…. neither of you are Megaman, but you'll make a fine warm up." The figure with the eyes said. He jumped into the light to reveal himself.
"Who are you?" Zero asked.
"I am Skullman, and now you are dead!" Skullman fired his arm cannon at Zero, but Zero deflected it quickly.
"You'll have to do better that that," Zero said. He charged towards Skullman and slashed him several times, hitting him each time. Meanwhile Axl was firing away with his guns, hitting Skullman occasionally.
"You two are better than I thought," Skullman said, "but you can't beat me." He ran into a dark section of the room and fired random shots from his arm cannon. One hit Axl, knocking him down, but with a handspring, he was able to get on his feet again.
"Hey Zero, lets use our new move!"
"Ya, that should finish him off!" Zero said. Axl jumped high into the air. Zero moved under him and Axl landed on his shoulder. Axl jumped off, did a front flip, and hovered in the air. Zero did a back flip into the air. Axl caught him, and threw him into the ground. As soon as Zero landed, he stuck his hand into the ground and several rows of pure energy emerged from the ground, supposedly hitting Skullman. Zero landed.
"That did it!" Axl said. But as the dust cleared, they saw Skullman, who had his skull shield around him.
"Sorry, did I forget to mention, that my skull shield can block any attack?" Skullman said
"Damn, how do we get around that shield?" Zero said.
"There's no need," Skullman said, as he disappeared into the dark corner again.
"Axl, can you see him?" Zero asked. Axl didn't respond. "Axl?" Zero turned around to see Skullman holding Axl in a headlock, his arm cannon charging and pointed to the young hunter's head.
"Make a move, and your friend looses his noggin." Skullman said.
"What a coward, using a little kid as a shield!"
"Hey, I'm not a kid!"
"Shut up!" Skullman yelled. He tightened his grip on Axl's neck, nearly cutting off his air supply.
"I can cut you in two before you can even blink," Zero said.
"Are you willing to take that bet?" Skullman said.
"Zero….help…me.." Axl said in-between breaths. Zero could destroy his new foe, but he had no idea how fast this guy was. He was gambling with Axl's life.
"The clock is ticking!" Skullman said as he again tightened his grip on Axl's neck. But at that point an unseen blast was fired. A hole emerged in the middle of Skullman's body. Skullman looked at it, looked up, and fell over, releasing Axl. Axl fell to the ground, catching his breath. Zero looked up to see a familiar figure, pointing his buster at the robot master.
"Miss me guys?" X said with a smile.
