Tides
No, I still don't own Capcom characters or Metroid
"Zero, all the rookies are out on routine assignments, communications are down, and we only have fifty hunter and us against, what computers are estimating to be 600,000! We can't possibly hold up against that many." X yelled at Zero as he bolted down the hallway towards him. Axl joined them panting with his guns drawn.
"Axl, get on the tower and try and hold as many as you can! X, get to Alia and tell her to bring up the base's defenses. We can't beat them like this, but maybe we can hold them off long enough for the humans and other hunter to arrive. After that, we shall all converge at the front gate of the base. If we die today, we die fighting!" Axl, Zero, and X all nodded and joined hands, then all dispersed in different directions.
Zero went to the armament room and took his best saber and armor upgrade along with some energy capsules. "Iris... maybe this is it. Please over see this battle." Zero took his equipment and took off towards the tower. He climbed the towers with speed unmatched and finally reached the top. He saw Axl snipering off what looked to be the heaviest of the forces with unrivaled accuracy. Zero raised his Z buster and fired off two shots at the front lines, throwing five soldiers up in the air each time. He hit both the Zebesians and mavericks alike and, they fell like dolls, however they kept coming like a dark tide. Suddenly, the guns of the base rose up and began firing shots at the force. Hordes fell at the massive plasma, and for a moment, it looked as if they stood a chance. Then a wave of creatures, that resembled jellyfishes in a way, were released. They took the plasma shots and kept coming, only being pushed back in distance. The shots didn't even seem to put a dent in them.
Zero and Axl flew down the steps and to the large corridor where the maverick hunter base's gate was attached. X was in his Ultimate armor, it gleamed in the light and his buster and saber were already charging for the battle. The three stood together for a moment as three warriors, machines capable of emotions, showing no fear. The walked to the gate, and then stood silent.
"Hey you two," Axl said, "I haven't served with you long. But you took me in. You guys are my comrades. And it is the greatest honor of mine to fight beside you two." He looked down at his robotic feet. Was this his end? If so, he would die how he lived, fighting.
"Zero," X expressed with a kind of bleakness. "I just want to thank you for sticking with me through all of this. I just...well...want to say thanks."
"Will you two shut up already? We are the top rank maverick hunters. We've fought the army of Sigma countless times. This is no different! We didn't just give up then, and we sure as hell aren't giving up now! Now, enough of this sob story. I came to fight and destroy this new threat, no matter. You two little kids can go to bed, I'll fight them all myself. But I say we fight!" Zero drew his saber and held it in the air. Axl spun his gun in his hand and did the same. X only smiled and held up his X-buster. The gates slowly opened and the sounds of gunfire deafened them.
"X, Axl!" Zero screamed. "Spread out and flank them!" The hunters that were available lined the walls with their weapons and fired off shots at the opposing force. The three were the only soldiers on the ground and began to walk forward. As they walked, it became a charge, that charge turned into a full on advance. Squads of aliens and mavericks broke away from the main group to charge the three charging hunters. Those who opposed Zero quickly fell, sliced faster then they could react as wave upon wave tried their luck. Those who went against X quickly were atomized at the blasts that came from his buster. Those who avoided the large blasts were either hit with the after shock of plasma or cut down with his saber. And as for the force that came at Axl were shot down one by one, each a clean head shot, as wave after wave fell at Axl the Red's pistols. The battle continued, with no progress even showing. From the looks of it another ten thousand poured over the hill.
"X, AXL," Zero signaled, "Trump cards, boys!" X and Axl nodded. X's chest plates opened, as a megaton blast wiped at least a thousand soldiers and a few Metroids along with it. Axl's pistols glowed as he put the barrels together and fired a massive shot, having almost the same impact as X's. Zero focused all his energy into his fist and hit the ground with a shattering impact. Giant rays of energy bolted down, killing hundred instantly and forming a temporary wall. The three fell back into the haven of the gate and shut it behind them.
"Zero..." X panted, "we haven't even made a dent. They just keep coming! And Axl are out of energy capsules. That last attack....really took it out of us. Zero nodded in agreement and looked around. He handed X and Axl the remaining capsules, and leaned against the wall in exhaustion.
"Okay. New plan guys. I'll run for more capsules and any help that we can get. You two go back out there and hold them. Concentrate all fire power on those 'Metroids'. They are immune to the base shots, but our blasts are on a much higher frequency than the bases'. If we can get rid of those, then we stand a chance again. Now go!" Zero spun on his heel and dashed towards the armaments sector again, as the two went back to battle. Zero dashed as fast as he could. This battle would determine not only the fate of the maverick hunters, but the entire world as well.
