Megaman Excel
By: Metal Sonic EX
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. Those are mine.
In this chapter, the dynamic duo square off with the smaller member of the Nightmare Police. Please forgive me because it's been forever since I've played Megaman X3. I'm not going to remember all of his attacks, but I'm going to add some of my own. His Twin Laser attack for example. Also, the attack with his shield is going to be an almost perfect rip-off of Pharaohman's Pharaoh Wave from Rockman 2: The Power Fighters. Anyways, here's chapter thirteen!
Chapter XIII
Just A Bit At A Time
The smaller one, probably Bit, was a bright yellowish reploid and had two odd, orange things one either side of his chest. He had tow odd things on his head as well. As for his friend, obviously Byte, was a large red reploid with a grayish crystal in his chest. His face was pretty odd to stare at and there was a large ring attached to his back.
"About time you decided to introduce us. With the way you hunters work, it's about time that a Maverick made you do something. For us, we'll go with making you beg for mercy!" Zero scoffed. "Save it, short-stuff. I don't have the patience today." Bit seemed ticked. "How dare you insult me! We were considering finishing you off early, but now we'll make you suffer!"
Byte stepped forward, making a few carbons, including Teasel, move backwards. Bit raised a hand. "No no. Not now. We'll wait a while. Play with them a little." Byte reluctantly turned around and walked to the edge of a building. Suddenly, one of the mean dogs that lived in Old City ran up and began biting Byte's leg. He looked at the dog for a while before taking his huge fist and punched it away. The dog whimpered and ran away.
Now Megaman was ticked. "What was that for? It didn't do anything to you!" Bit shrugged. "No matter. We despise all carbons and their pathetic creatures. The can all bow to us like they should!" Now it was Zero's turn. "What!" Bit looked cheekily at Zero. "You heard us. They once worshipped us like gods. Until the incident with Sigma, we WERE gods. Then they abandoned us. Left us to die. We are here today to make the carbons realize the power that they left behind!"
Zero stepped forward and summoned T Breaker. "You're history, Bit! You're about to go back to where you belong!"
Mission Start
Defeat Bit and Byte
"Really now? If I remember correctly, you have a problem yours. I know nothing about, but perhaps this savage beatdown will bring forth some memories!" Bit reached his arm up and a small shield appeared.
Mission Start!

-------------------------
Megaman shot numerous uncharged shots which Bit deflected with his shield. He then removed the shield from in front of him and he threw his head forward. "Dodge this!" Two lasers shot out of the things on Bit's head, but luckily Megaman dodged it. He fully charged the saber and waited for Bit to get close. However, it happened all too fast. Bit's shield disappeared and a saber appeared in his hand. He jumped into the air vertically and, when he became parallel with Megaman, he shot forward, swiping Megaman with the saber.
(A.N. I wasn't originally going to do this, but when the idea was put on the table by one of my reviews, I decided 'Hey! Why not?'. So, by request, is an extra part of the chapter.)
As Zero sat on the sidelines, for some reason, he couldn't get what Juno had said out of his head. "I told you before. The carbons must be purged. It's the only way that us reploids can survive. If they are not purged, we will eventually die out altogether. Why must you prevent me when I try to help out my own kind?" Zero tried shaking the thought out of his head. "Because it would mean extinction for another." Damn that Juno. I knew he was corrupt since the day I met him…
-Flashback-
Megaman Trigger, Axl, and Zero had all been brought to Elysium after the final incident with Sigma. An odd, brown colored, green haired reploid met them. Zero half-bowed. "Lady Yuna." She smirked. "I've told you before. That's not necessary. But seriously, we'd like you to meet someone." After following her for a while, they finally got to a room where Mistress Sera and a floating person waited. "Guys, this is Megaman Juno."
Trigger started. "Megaman Juno?" Yuna smirked again. "We hope you don't mind the counterpart. Besides, Juno is going to be the central system for Kattelox Island." Zero started this time. 'Isn't that a little risky? I mea, the carbons are scared to death of us now thanks to Sigma." Juno smiled. "Perhaps. But it would be for the better good." Zero still wasn't convinced. "I dunno… If the carbons find out that we've snuck a reploid onto the island, what trust they still have for us will be flushed down the crapper."
Yuna nodded. "I agree. But it's also, like Juno said, for the better good. Besides, you know the Master, he wants us to protect the carbons even if they don't trust us." Now it was Axl's turn to start. "So, the Master is behind this." Yuna smiled. "Only partially, but we all agree that it's a risk we'll have to take." Zero wasn't convinced still, but he didn't show it. Instead, he threw numerous glances at Juno. " I've got a question. Say in the possibly thousand-to-one chance that Juno becomes Maverick…"
The mother units along with Juno started. Trigger backed his friend up. 'He's got a point. I mean, if anything, everyone in this room is liable to become a Maverick. Zero has a point. If Juno becomes a Maverick, what happens next?" Yuna thought about this. "Then I guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?" Zero stirred uneasily. "Besides, we plan on locking him inside a new ruin where placing on Kattelox. We're going to call it Main Gate and the only way to get into the same room with Juno is to get the Watcher, Sleeper, and Dreamer keys from the Sub-Gates. No offense, but I don't think that carbons would be stupid enough to try and get them."
Again, Zero stirred. "Perhaps…" Yuna cut him off. "Why don't you stop by tomorrow. It should be finished then." Trigger shrugged. "Why not?" As the hunters left, Zero threw one last gaze at Juno. I still don't trust him… Reploids like that are asking to go Maverick… He turned and left the room.
-The Next Evening-
The hunters had entered Main Gate and was in the room where Juno was to be locked for centuries. "Okay, Juno. You ready?" Juno nodded. "Okay. If me and Sera calculated this right, you should be awaken in about four or five centuries." Zero looked uneasily at Yuna. "Five hundred years. Are you sure that safe?" Trigger smacked him playfully on the arm. "Quit your whining, Zero. He'll be fine." As the doors began to lock Juno in, he threw one last look at the map of Kattelox Island. It's not him I'm worried about…
-End Flashback-
Zero shook the memory from his head as he turned back to the fight. Megaman had gotten Bit with about three fully-charged saber slashes. The reason it wasn't more was because of Bit's great speed.

-------------------
Megaman rolled out of the way, allowing Zero to beam in. He still had T Breaker out and ready.
Active Member - Zero
Zero raised T Breaker above his head as Bit shot a fireball at Zero. He batted the now-homing fireball away with T Breaker and then he lunged for Bit. Zero managed the same three-hit combo that he'd done on Juno. This ticked Bit off.

"How dare you! Take this!" He fired to rings at Zero and they trapped him in place. "Little help here." Megaman rolled back in, shot the rings, released Zero, and became the Active Member.
Active Member - Megaman Voulnut
(A.N. For those of you who don't know, this is a Tag Assist. It was only in X8 though. If one party member got trapped in goo, ice, a lightning bind, etc., the other party member would free him and become the active member.)
Megaman fully charged the buster and shot it at Bit. However, he dodged it and the blast bounced off of Byte's stomach. This came as a surprise to everyone except Zero, Bit, and Byte. Megaman quickly shook the effects off and managed to dodge another aerial dash from Bit. Zero beamed in and, as if reading the other's mind, they activated Double Attack.

(Near Death Attack - Supreme Wave)
Bit summoned his shield again and it began glowing orange. "You've tested my patience! Take this!" He shot a powerful wave at Megaman, who easily jumped over it. Then, Bit fired three more waves before his shield disappeared. Megaman got a fully-charged shot and he shot it, finishing Bit off.

(Megaman X3 (SNES, Playstation) - Boss Theme fades out)
Bit, who now had heavily dented armor, spoke in his annoying English accent. "Curse you, hunters! You're crimes will be paid in full soon enough! For now though…" He turned to Byte. "…Byte! Kill them!" Byte walked up to Bit's side and looked down at the miniscule-sized hunter. He didn't speak but he flexed his arms instead. "Prepare to become to dust, hunters!"
I forgot to mention this earlier. This, along with the next two chapters, will be a trilogy of chapters involving the battles with Bit and Byte. As for the third chapter, Sub Tanks will finally be mentioned and at a good time too. Also, one of the mysterious figures returns and pulls a stunt that no one expected. For now though, Read and Review and I'll continue.
P.S. I hoped you liked the flashback.
