Disclaimer: I do not own the Megaman X series. Nor do I own Megaman Legends, Megaman Legends 2, or The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. I don't own them now, and I won't anytime soon. However, I do own some of the Mavericks' attacks. You know, the ones that I, as in ME, came up with. Don't touch those. They are mine.

Before I say anything, I apologize in advance. The title of this chapter is a VERY bad pun. But, then again, it's the best name that I could come up with. Anyways, by the name of the title alone, you should be able to figure out who this chapter is about. It will be the first actually well-known Maverick battle. This Maverick will have some pretty absurd health, but it makes sense. Also, many, if not all, of Zero's weapons will be revealed in this chapter. Finally, the first Double Attack (MMX8) will take place at the end of the battle. And so, without further ado, chapter four!

Chapter IV

One Vile Reploid

---

"So, where are we off to next?" Zero was leaning against the wall of the Guildmaster's office. "I don't know. I guess we wait until a new signal pops up. As much as I'd prefer not to, it looks like the Mavericks aren't going to do anything that's that destructive." Banner raised an eyebrow. "I thought you said that the Mavericks could do a lot of damage to us with our current technology." Zero frowned. "I did. But we still don't know for certain which one will pop up. Nor do we know where they'll pop up."

Prof. Casket sighed. "I guess we'll have to wait this one out." Banner shrugged in a somewhat agreement. Bon Bonne's voice rang over the walkie-talkie again.

"Now what?"

"Babu! Babu babu!"

Zero raised an eyebrow. "I've heard a lot of odd stuff over the years. Though this is the first one that I can't understand." Tron sighed. "He says there's something outside that we should see." Matilda looked at Banner. "Then let's go." Everyone shrugged and made their way outside. There, they meet the large, yellow robot that was Bon Bonne. He had long arms that nearly touched the ground. His shoulders bore the Bonne family symbol and His mouth was hidden by a pacifier. Several Servbots surrounded Bon.

"Well? What is it?" The group pointed in unison to something under the platform. Zero began walking towards it, but was soon cut off by a huge ship, well more than three times the size of Nino Island, soaring into view. "WOAH! WHAT IN THE…" Zero started. "That ship! It's…" A hatch at the bottom up the ship opened up and began lowering something to the island. You could actually see the huge feet of something standing on it. It was almost fully opened when it shuddered and stopped.

"What just happened?"

"It got stuck, sir."

"Well, that's obvious! Come down here and fix it!"

"We can't, sir."

"Why not?"

"Because the automated doors have broken down too. There's no way to get there."

"Forget it! I'll do it myself!"

With a sweep of its arm, the creature ripped the hatch's platform from the ship and both it and the platform fell to the island. When it landed, everyone let out a gasp, while Zero let out a snarl. "Vile!" Inside the pilot's seat of an enormous robotic armor, a pink-armored Maverick with a T-shaped visor sat and chuckled. "Zero. My old friend. How have you been?" Zero took a step towards the enormous armor. "You can kiss my ass, Vile!"

Everyone seemed shocked at this outburst but Vile himself. "My, my. Aren't we peppy today." Megaman decided to step in before things got heated. "Let me guess. I'm…" Zero threw a hand backwards. "No. You're sitting this one out. This one's mine." Vile laughed. "Peppy AND possessive? Who knew that you were so… So… like me."

Zero growled. "How dare you compare me to a Maverick like yourself!" Vile shrugged. "I guess you don't remember what Sigma told you." Zero reached a hand up for his saber. "What? That I'm supposed to be the Red Demon? Ha! That's a laugh and a half!"

Vile snorted. "It's your choice whether you believe it or not. Besides, aren't you proving yourself to be selfish? Hogging me while Trigger watches from the sidelines. It's a bit rude, if you ask me." Zero stood erect. "I didn't ask you. Nor am I being selfish. Trigger nearly got killed when he first fought you. Without his memory, letting him fight would just produce the same results."

Vile laughed again and one of the armor's fists smashed into the palm of another. "Come on, Zero. I promise. I won't play that rough." He began laughing and Zero whipped his saber out, the green blade flashing as it was activated. "Time for talk is over, Maverick. It's time you and me settled this once and for all!"

Mission Objective

Defeat Vile

"Have it your way. I'll rip you from the inside out!"

Mission Start!

(Megaman X3 (SNES, Playstation) - Vile Theme begins playing)

(Remixes - 4)

Vile dashed forward and thrust his armor's left arm at Zero. It somehow turned into a beam sword. He rolled out of the way and scraped Vile's armor with his saber. Of course, with Vile having his armor, it didn't do crap.

(Vile's Health)

------------------------------------------------------------

Vile jumped into the air, hovered for a few seconds, and came crashing down onto the island. The Guildmaster was freaking out pretty badly. "OH NO! HE'S AFTER THE KEY! I'LL GET THE…" Banner cut him off. "No! Please! I'm sure that Zero's got this under control. Besides, from what I've heard, the key isn't on the island anymore. The Guildmaster thought about this. "Oh yeah!"

Zero knew that his saber wasn't strong enough. So, he spun his saber in his hand and it disappeared. "K Knuckle activate!" He threw his hands into the air and smashed his fists together. In a brief glow of white, two green brass knuckle-type objects appeared on his fists. "Raijinken!" He raised his right fist, brought it down, turned, making a U-shaped curve, and threw it into the air again. When his fist reached its climax, a barrage of thunder came down, catching Vile's arm.

(Vile's Health)

---------------------------------------------------------

"Impressive. But not good enough!" Vile swung his arm and Zero nearly slid off of the skyport. Zero noticed a wall closeby. He managed to void Vile's arm thrust and he quickly jumped on top of it. He threw he jumped off and aimed his foot at Vile. "Enkujin!" His foot was suddenly set ablaze and he began a diagonal downward kick. It hit Vile himself instead of his armor, so it did more damage than it would of.

(Vile's Health)

-------------------------------------------------------

"Not bad, Omega! But you're still no match for me!" Vile thrust the armor's fist forward and Zero darted out of the way. He threw his arms into the air and K Knuckle disappeared. "D Glaive!" He reached one arm forward and, in another white glow, a long lance with a blade like that of his saber at one end appeared.

"Ha! What are you going to do with that? Try out for the javelin toss?" Zero smirked. "Thanks for the idea." He hurled the lance at Vile and it knocked him clear out of his armor. He was a bit smaller than everyone had pictured, but he was still somewhat evil-looking.

Vile was about four feet high. He had a cannon installed on his right shoulder and a rocket launcher installed on his left. His entire body was covered in pink armor. An odd blue and purple emblem was on his forehead. "What's with the pink armor?" Vile looked at Teasel. "Haven't you ever heard the saying 'Tough Guys Wear Pink'? Whether you have or not, it means nothing. Just because I have pink armor doesn't mean that…" Zero interrupted. "It doesn't mean that you stand a chance!" Vile looked at Zero. "Getting a bit cocky, are we?" Zero snorted. "With you, always!"

Vile shrugged and quickly hopped back into his armor, which sat down when he was knocked out of it. Zero ran over and pried the lance from the ground. He turned around in time to see Vile shoot his shoulder cannon at him. When he regained his composure, Zero slashed the air twice with the lance, Vile dodging each attack. Zero then began rapidly spinning the lance and it created somewhat of a forcefield above Zero.

Vile shot another blast from his cannon and D Glaive deflected it right back at him. Zero stopped spinning the lance and lowered it. "Put that in your pipe and smoke it!"

(Vile's Health)

--------------------------------------------------

Vile then jumped again and began hovering above Zero. He dashed out of the way as Vile came crashing down. Roll, for the first time, noticed that Megaman wasn't anywhere in sight. But she kept it to herself.

"Come on, Data!"

"Nope!"

"Data! This is serious!"

"I'm sorry, Megaman. I'm not giving it to you."

The camera zoomed out and revealed Megaman playing chess with Data. They were both one move away from winning and it was Data's turn. Data moved his rook. "Checkmate!" Megaman fell backwards and looked at their score sheet. "That's five games to… none." Data smirked and began doing his dance.

They heard an explosion on the other side of a nearby door. "That reminds me. Do you think that I've got enough energy to…" Data paused. "Probably not. But Zero did tell that he'd handle this one." Megaman thought about this. "Yeah. But still…"

Back at the scene of the fight, Zero spun D Glaive around and it disappeared. "T Breaker!" A giant warhammer appeared in Zero's hands. The odd thing was that to Teasel, T Breaker looked more like a kabob than a warhammer. Zero placed T Breaker behind him. "Take this!" He hurled it over his shoulder and slammed it into the ground, triggering a small earthquake. It hit Vile and his armor fell over.

(Vile's Health)

----------------------------------------------

Zero began running towards Vile, much slower now due to the fact of T Breaker's weight. Vile got up and Zero slammed the warhammer into Vile's side and he fell over again. Finally! Something affective! Zero waited until Vile stood up and then he slammed into his side again. This time, Vile managed to maintain his balance.

Vile slammed his fist into the ground and Zero jumped over the shockwave. He twirled around and T Breaker disappeared. I'd better add some variety to my strategy… "Sigma Blade!" A huge broadsword appeared and it had bits and pieces of it missing. In the missing metal's place, some kind of green, flowing energy could be seen.

(A.N. In Megaman X8, Sigma Blade is achieved when you beat the game once. However, it is actually stated with the symbol for Sigma instead of actually spelling it out. The only reason that I didn't do that was because I couldn't find that symbol.)

Zero reached his sword behind him. "Juuhazan!" He swept the broadsword forward and it knocked Vile from his armor again.

(Vile's Health)

-------------------------------------

Vile was about to jump back in his armor when Zero dashed over to him and swung the broadsword upwards. "Hyouryuushou!" Zero began swinging the broadsword in an upward spiral, snow falling from the now bright blue blade. Vile was hit directly with this attack and he was frozen solid.

While Zero was still in the air, he spread his legs and he thrust his broadsword between them, the blade igniting almost immediately. "Enkujin!" The blade split the ice cube that was Vile in half and he was released.

Vile quickly darted into his armor. "You'll pay dearly for that, Omega!" He shot three rockets from his left shoulder. Zero sliced the rockets in half with the broadsword and he lunged for another attack. However, he slammed his foot into the ground not too far from Vile. "Split Dream!" The moment that he stopped, an orange, hologram-like version of Zero continued the dash and sliced Vile when it hit the armor.

(Vile's Health)

-----------------------

This attack created a small whirlwind and it knocked Vile back. He quickly shook the effects off and managed to catch Zero's arm with the armor's laser slash. A red liquid squirted out and Zero grabbed the wound.

When the red liquid squirted out of Zero's arm, the group who was watching this gasped. Vile laughed. "Finally! It's about time that I did something that slows you down!" Zero snorted. "This isn't anything but a flesh wound!" Vile laughed again. "Really? In that case, allow me to strike the lethal blow!" Vile dashed forward and Zero smirked. "A moron. As always." Zero raised his buster and shot a fully-charged shot.

(Vile's Health)

------------------

This time, Zero did something that was somewhat lethal. When the blast hit Vile, the armor nearly slid off of the island. When he regained his balance, Megaman walked through the door. "What the…" Roll looked relieved. "There you are! I was starting to worry." Megaman, who was still in the Falcon Armor, walked up to the group. "What's been going on?"

Banner returned his gaze to the battle. "Zero's been kicking the crap out of this Vile guy." Vile stopped and looked at him. "You're asking for it, carbon!" Zero made Sigma Blade disappear and made T Breaker return. "Not as much as you are!" Zero swung T Breaker and knocked Vile out of his armor again. Zero clobbered Vile with it and he went flying into the wall.

(Vile's Health)

------------

Vile darted for his armor and just as he got there, Zero called to Megaman. "Alright Trigger. Come over here!" Megaman ran over. "On three, throw your arms behind you." Megaman nodded. Vile got into his armor and stood up. Megaman noticed that T Breaker disappeared and his old saber returned. "One…" Vile began running towards them. "Two…" Megaman braced for the impact and Vile reached his arm behind him. "Three!"

Execute Falcon Armor Megaman/ Zero Double Attack

They both attacked Vile at once, freezing time in the process. Zero did a three slash combo that looked like this, then Zero spun around and slashed vertically downwards. Megaman threw his hands back and Falcon Strike was activated even though Megaman didn't have enough energy.

(Vile's Health)

None

When time resumed, Vile's armor began smoking and it fell to the ground. Vile had jumped out, but had not dodged the attack. He too was smoking and he stood on the wall that Zero had used earlier.

(Megaman X3 (SNES, Playstation) - Vile Theme fades out)

"This isn't over, Omega! Not by a long shot!" He jumped of the skyport and, seconds later, his ship, with Vile on top, came back into sight. "Get us the hell out of here!" He hopped into a hole in the roof. "Aye aye, sir!" The ship turned and everyone watched as it flew out of sight.

Megaman looked at Zero. "Omega?" Zero smirked. "When the reploids began dying out, Maverick Hunters were called Omega Units. You were already a Purifier Unit, so you aren't recognized as an Omega Unit."

Zero turned and began walking to the city. "What we did was called a Double Attack. We attack the all enemies within range at the same time. And as for the robot Vile was in, that's Robot Ride Armor." Zero paused and looked at the still smoking armor that Vile had left behind. "You can have it if you want." The Guildmaster looked excited. "In that case, help me get this thing into my office!"

In case your wondering, this is a list of all of Zero's different weapons:

Z Saber

D Glaive

K Knuckle

T Breaker

B Fan

Sigma Blade

The only reason that B Fan wasn't in this chapter was because all it allows you to do is deflect shots while standing still. It's my least favorite weapon, but my friends likes using it because it makes him 'look cool' as he says. Anyways, in the next chapter, the group heads for Kattelox Island, where they meet an old friend, an old secret is revealed, and Megaman becomes popular all over again. So, in short, Read and Review!
