Megaman Excel

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.

Okay, I've got a lot to say, so let's start with this: Well, so much for that idea! I was going to post two chapters of Close Companions: The Movie and I barely made it through one! Again, thank you and now, let's proceed.

In this chapter, Megaman gets his memory back, Megaman X rises, a diabolical plot is learned, and the heroic duo begins taking place in an epic two-part battle. And finally, I made a mistake. Earlier, when I said that this fanfic had fifty-six chapters, I miscounted. I forgot to count the prologue and I forgot completely about a battle that takes place later on. So, instead of fifty-six, there will be fifty-eight chapters. It's a slight increase, but I'll bet that that will make you happy. So now, chapter nineteen!

Chapter XIX

Hop Aboard The Maverick Train pt. 1

It had been about two hours since Zero had disappeared into Megaman's room and Roll was getting anxious. "I'm starting to worry about them." Matilda smiled. 'Don't worry so much, Roll. I'm sure he's fine." At that moment, Zero entered and leaned against the wall of the living room. "He's on the roof if you want to see him." Roll looked at her mom, she nodded, and Roll made her way up to the roof. However, when she was partly on the roof, she paused. Megaman was standing close to the rail on the front of the Flutter. His armor had changed to a blue and light blue pattern and his helmet had changed because it now had a red crystal in it. He wasn't wearing it, but it was sitting next to him. Megaman's brownish hair blew in the wind as Roll spoke up. "Megaman…"

He immediately responded, just not in the way that Roll had anticipated. "I can remember everything now. The master, Juno, Sera and Yuna, the Mavericks. It's all so clear to me now, yet there's so much I still don't know." He turned and smiled. Roll started slightly, noticed that his face along with his voice had changed. Actually, the Megaman she was staring at now was sort of the older version of the one she'd grown up with. "I'm glad to see that you're memory's back." She finally crawled out the rest of the way and closed the hatch behind her.

"Megaman, we've been through a lot together. Taking on the Bonnes and Glyde, going on digs, and now all of this. I just want you to know that through thick and thin, I'll always be there for you." Megaman smirk grew as he hugged her. "Thanks, Roll." She hugged back and a familiar someone noticed this. "WHAT DOES SHE THINK SHE'S DOING! HOW DARE HER!" Teasel and everyone nearby, Bon Bonne included, jumped away at this outburst.

Tron was looked at the two hugged through binoculars and she was steamed. Literally. You could actually see steam coming out of her ears. "Now Tron. They've been friends since…" Tron spun to look a him with fire in her eyes. Literally. You could she fire in her eyes. "I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR EXPLANATIONS!" With that she spun around, looked through the binoculars, and got the shock of a lifetime. Literally. Megaman was actually waving at her. "AH!" Tron jumped and fell back in her chair after seeing that. Teasel just looked on, clueless about everything.

Megaman chuckled as he lowered his arm, but Roll was also clueless. "What was that about?" Megaman smirked. "Tron was spying on us, so I waved." Roll started. "What! Why that…" Megaman chuckled again. "Ignore her. Besides, we won't be here for much longer." Roll looked clueless again. "How do you know?" Megaman quickly bent over, picked his helmet, then pointed at Roll's grandfather who was running like he'd seen a ghost. 'Megaman! Roll! We've got to go!" Matilda and Zero, who'd been passing the front door at this time, opened it and peeked out. "What's wrong, dad?" Barrell took a deep breath. "They've spotted a train heading straight for Yosyonke City and it's not stopping!"

Everyone listening to this started, then switched into battle mode. "All right! I'll get Banner." Matilda took off and Zero poked his head out of the doorway. "Did you guys hear that?" Roll quickly opened the hatch and jumped back into the Flutter. "Yeah! I'll inform the Bonnes!" Megaman raised hand to his right ear and held his other arm in front of him. A hologram was projected out of his upper arm and Megaman's face popped up on the giant TV inside the Gesselchaft. "This is Megaman! Can you read me?" After a few seconds of scrambling, they managed to respond. Number 27 did the response. "This is the Gesselchaft. Go ahead." Megaman informed the Gesselchaft inhabitants of the situation and Teasel set forth the command. "All right, people! You heard! Battle stations everyone!"

Megaman cut the transmission and jumped inside the Flutter as well. As he closed the hatch, Zero, Matilda, and Banner walked in. Banner paused and looked at Megaman. "I know. It'll take time to get used to this." Banner nodded, then took control of the Flutter. "Is everyone here?" Barrell and Von Bleucher ran in and closed the door. "We're here." Banner turned back to the front window. "All right. Here we go!" The Flutter and the Gesselchaft took off and the citizens of Saul Kada began panicking.

"We've been abandoned!"

"We're all gonna die!"

"I didn't get his autograph!"

Everyone began running and screaming as their small, little minds went berserk. Meanwhile, certain 'people' were conversing.

"Are they coming?"

"Nothing yet. I think we're good!"

"Good. Any ideas?"

"…"

"That's great."

The rhino leaned back and sighed. "We've been here for hours, guys! Is anyone actually thinking?" Everyone muttered responses and he threw his hands in the air. "We're screwed." A voice rang out over the intercom. "Not exactly, Rhino. There's another intersection coming up. We'll turn there and keeping circling around." The rhino, Tunnel Rhino to be precise, scoffed. "Do you think that we'll actually make it there?" A silence followed. "I don't know." Rhino sighed. "How are you doing, Buffalo?" Blizzard Buffalo, who was currently behind the train, pushing it along, laughed. "I'm having the time of my life!" Rhino smirked. "Well, al least something's going right."

Back at the Flutter, Megaman was looking at as hologram of Yosyonke Island which was projected from his arm. "The train was last seen… Here." Barrell pointed to a part of the island opposite of Yosyonke City. "That's about thirty or so miles outside of Yosyonke City. We'll have to find them. Fast!" Zero was staring out of the window when something caught his eye. "Wait! Land here!" Banner started, gazed at him, and got that feeling he got sometimes. "Right. Here it is." As the Flutter descended, the Gesselchaft quickly turned after them. "Where the heck are they going?" Tron shrugged. "Who knows. But let's follow 'em for now."

Once both ships had landed, everyone saw an unusual sight. One of them was the train that Roll and Megaman had used during the Glyde/ Bonne train battle and the other was the one that the Bonnes had used to fight back. "Someone's been expecting us." Banner shrugged. 'Coincidental or not, we still can use these to fight that train if they don't surrender." Everyone nodded in agreement as Teasel cried out. "Here it comes!" In a sudden flash, the train passed by them and everyone saw a sudden blur of purple. "It's them! The Mavericks!" On the train itself, something similar was being said.

"It's them! The Maverick Hunters!" Everyone on board began scrambling. "So much for ideas! Let's kill 'em!" The same voice rang out over the intercom. "No! We won't attack unless provoked. That way it'll give us a slight plus on our side." Rhino scoffed. "We won't have to wait long either way!" Another silence followed. "Perhaps. But there's still an extremely slight chance." Rhino rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Get to your battle stations just in case." Back at the group who watched the train whiz by, they noticed something else. "What the…" Zero started. "Blizzard Buffalo? What the crap!"

Megaman jumped on top of Roll's train and motioned for the others. "Come on before we lose it!" After quickly assembling, everyone was ready. Zero was on the Bonnes' car while Megaman was still on Roll's. "Here we go!" Von Bleucher, Banner, and Matilda had all been convinced to let Roll drive the train while the flew overhead. Bon Bonne was left in charge of the Gesselchaft along with three quarters of the Servbots. As the trains took off, those left behind quickly took flight and, within minutes, everyone had caught up with the Maverick Train. "Ready, Trigger?" Megaman gave a thumbs-up. "All right! Here we go!" Buffalo, who heard this, but not what the intercom voice had said let go of train. I won't let them down! Not now!

Ready

(Megaman Legends 2 (Playstation) - Glyde's Car Train Battle begins playing)

Blizzard Buffalo took off and began riding alongside the two trains. Zero explained. "Blizzard Buffalo. Arctic…" Buffalo interrupted. "Safe it! We won't go down without a fight!" Buffalo raised his hand and fired a block of ice at the Bonnes' train and a bunch of icicles took it's place. Buffalo repeated the procedure with the Casket's car and then began charging a laser. In a white flash, Megaman's armor was replaced with a white/ blue color combination armor. Megaman quickly spilt the beans. "The Force Armor, armor of mobility!" Megaman released a large charge shot that left behind a small ball of plasma once it hit. Megaman's armor suddenly turned red and he fired a small ball of flame. "Ground Blazer!" Buffalo was set on fire and slowly began growing smaller as the two trains rode away. "You'll pay for this!"

Zero laughed. "Sure we will! Now, let's finish this!" Meanwhile, inside Rhino was conversing with the intercom voice. "What's going on back there?" Rhino ran up to the intercom. "It's the hunters! They've got trains too! To make matters worse, Buffalo just flushed your 'strategy' down the crapper!" A torrent of cursing could be heard on the other end. "Good-for-nothing Maverick! Fine! Thanks to him, we'll have to fight back. Attention all cars! Please execute your right to fight back at any time you feel necessary! We won't go down quietly!" Back on the outside, the two trains got closer to the caboose and Megaman finally got some answers. "Zero! There's about ten cars to this thing! You think we can it?" Zero laughed again. "Are you kidding? We use to handle stuff like this on a daily basis!"

Suddenly, as the two cars got close to the caboose, a wire-frame pattern appeared and turned into a Maverick with nine feathers. "Cyber Peacock. Cyberspace infiltrator." Peacock looked at the hunters. "You won't get away with doing what you're supposed to be stopping!" Megaman looked oddly at him. "What's that mean?" Peacock crossed his arms. "It means you can murder us to stop us from supposedly murdering!" Zero scoffed. "The show you're putting on right now isn't too convincing!" Peacock turned and pointed ahead of them. "There's an intersection not-too-far from here. We'll turn there if you promise to get lose." Zero considered this for a second. "We'll see when we get there." Peacock shrugged. "In that case, I have no choice."

Peacock quickly vanished and reappeared in the middle of Megaman and Zero. He raised his foot and arms and slammed them into the ground, making his feathers grow enormous and nearly knocking Megaman off of his car. Zero summoned D Glaive and quickly swung it so fast that flames emitted from the tip. It grazed Peacock, making him suddenly become staticky and disappear. "This isn't over, hunters!" Zero laughed. "Gone after one hit! Ha!" A mysterious voice rang out. "You're not going to be laughing in a few seconds." Zero and Megaman turned to see a lion-like Maverick running alongside the Bonnes' train. "Slash Beast! What the…" Beast slammed his foot into the ground, reached his claw out, and let forth a powerful roar as he tore a huge gash in the side of the car. "RRRRRRAAAAAA!"

When the dust settled, a huge horizontal gash remained in the side of the car. "How are you guys?" Zero inspected the damage. "We're fine! But we won't be able to take another one!" Megaman noticed something out of the corner of his eye. "In that case, you've got a problem!" Beast caught up with the car, slammed his foot into the ground again, reached his claw out, and…

Meanwhile, inside the Maverick train, Rhino was preparing for his assault when Storm Eagle came barging in with his body in shambles. Rhino ran over to him as he fell. "What the hell happened, Eagle?" Eagle's voicebox was seriously damaged, so he could only make out a few words. "Maverick… Hunter… On board…" Rhino started and quickly ran to the intercom. "Hey, Slash! We've got a problem!" The conductor of the train, Grizzly Slash, looked at the intercom. "A little help here, Crab." Bubble Crab scuttled over and pushed the response button. "Go ahead." Rhino took a deep breath. "One of the hunters is on board! He's totaled Eagle!" Slash started and spun to the intercom. "Then get rid of him!" Rhino mock-saluted, but Slash couldn't see it. "Yes, sir!"

As Rhino turned around, Eagle exploded and another perfect-condition Storm Eagle stood in the doorway. "What the…" Eagle looked at Rhino. "You've got to be less gullible than that, old friend. That doppelganger almost had you bought. That was the hunter you talked to." Rhino let this all settle before sighed. "Thanks, Eagle. I owe you one." Eagle shrugged and as Rhino turned to the intercom to inform Slash on the situation, Eagle let forth a mischievous smile.

Back on the outside, as Slash Beast stretched his claw out, a laser came out of nowhere and totaled Beast right then and there. Everyone turned to see a third car catch up and the 'G' symbol on the side gave it away. "Glyde!" Glyde smirked at Teasel's outburst. "Isn't this fitting. You try to kill me and yet, somehow, I still find myself in a place where I can save yours. Remember this, Teasel Bonne. You owe me!" Teasel muttered insults, but Zero smirked. "The more, them merrier!" The three cars caught up and Glyde's laser shot the caboose clear off of the train. "Watch where you're shooting that thing!" Zero looked back as the caboose exploded. "He's got a good idea, Teasel. Every time we empty out a car, Glyde can blow it off for us. Glyde smirked triumphantly as Teasel muttered more insults.

Suddenly, the familiar wire-frame pattern appeared and Peacock came back into existence. "You're proving to be a nuisance! And that's why I'm here to eliminate that nuisance!" Megaman's armor began glowing again and, as the light dimmed down, a blue, red, green, and white color combination armor appeared. "The Glide Armor, armor of swiftness." Megaman threw his arms behind him and activated a Giga Attack before Peacock could react.

Giga Attack

Giga Crash

Time froze and a barrage of lightning came out of nowhere and struck the car that Peacock stood on. When time resumed, Peacock was thrown back and jumped to another car as Rhino, unbeknownst to Megaman or Zero, unlatched the car, letting it fall behind the three trains and explode. Peacock then spread his arms and two cursors locked-on to Megaman and Zero. "Aiming Laser!" One by one, Peacock fired his feathers at one of the hunters and they dodged them one by one. Zero then summoned Z Saber and activated his Giga Attack.

Giga Attack

Command Arts

Zero selected Zero Breakthrough and, when they got close enough, Zero thrust his saber forward, finishing Peacock off. The three trains fell back slightly as Peacock exploded and charred the top of the car. Suddenly, the trains approached a problem. "There's a river ahead and a one-track bridge ahead! We'll have to line up one behind the other!" The others agreed and Roll took the lead, followed by the Bonnes' and Glyde. Suddenly, as the went onto the bridge, the entire surrounding area became shrouded in darkness and a bunch of green lights came from the train ahead. As the Maverick appeared, Megaman introduced him. "Professor Izzy Glow. An authority in laser engineering."

Back inside the Maverick train, Grizzly Slash was beginning to have problems. "They've already blown through the last two cars!" Slash snarled. "If they defeat the laser professor, then tell the people back there to dump their load. As a matter of fact, tell them to dump it now!" Bubble Crab started. "Are you sure?" Slash growled. "Positive! Now move!" Crab jumped and began scuttling to the back of the train. "Stupid excuse of a Maverick."

Back on the outside, Megaman and Zero were negotiating with Izzy Glow. "Stop the train or else!" Glow let forth a laugh. "With the way you've been acting, you'd be lucky if we slowed down!" Zero frowned. "You're asking for it!" Glow shrugged. "It doesn't matter. Even if I perish, as long as the train reaches the intersection, then they'll be fine. They'll prove their innocence with or without me." Glow then started his assault by appearing over Megaman's head and shooting a horizontal laser that was eventually lowered to the ground. Megaman's armor became gray and light yellow and he fired. "Tri-Thunder!" Two thunder bolts were shot up and down while and third was fired straight forward and hit Glow. He bounced on his butt before returning to the Maverick train.

Back inside, the Mavericks' were scrambling. "Why'd we put TNT on this thing anyways? I mean, some idiot could easily light this on fire and…" A nearby Maverick known as Flame Stag suddenly interrupted. "Um, guys…" everyone turned to him and there eyes sunk in when they saw him and a nearby TNT barrel which had been lit. "I don't think that I should be here." Rhino looked at Stag. "Oh shit…" Up front, Slash began celebrating when the intersection came into view shortly after leaving the bridge a few seconds ago. "Hell yes! We made it! We…"

Back on the outside, the three trains took their spots again before Zero smelt something. "Hey, Trigger! Is it just me or is that…" Megaman and Zero exchanged glances before… "Pull back!" Everyone driving a train started. Zero repeated himself. "There's no time! Just pull back!" Everyone shrugged and slowed down as the intersection came closer. Just as Glow was about to attack again, the unthinkable happened. In a sudden time period of about two seconds, the next three cars of the Maverick train exploded and lifted off of the ground. Megaman and Zero both spun around to watch it. "Holy crap!" When the explosion took place, Slash started and spun around. "What the…" Unfortunately, by doing this, he drove right past the intersection. "Son of a…"

Slash slammed his fist into the wall as Crab reentered. "We've just lost three more cars. Stage entered the dynamite room and…" Slash interrupted. "How much further until Yosyonke City?" Crab quickly calculated this. "We're about fifteen miles short of the city." Slash quickly pushed a nearby lever as far up as it could go. "The hell with it! We'll plow right through the city and go straight into the ocean! Full speed ahead!" Outside, the two hunters noticed these sudden developments. "So much for the intersection. Megaman's armor suddenly flashed again and he emerged with a gray armor that had a large piece of metal that blocked the lower half of his face from being seen.

As Megaman quickly calculated something, he subconsciously responded. "The Neutral Armor, the armor of elements." Megaman suddenly started. "We're fifteen miles short of the city!" Zero pointed towards the train. "That's not all! Look!" Everyone looked forward as the Maverick train speed up and began pulling away. "Come on! Let's catch them and end this!" Suddenly, a quick blur caught their attention. They looked in the sky and saw an eagle-lime robot looking at them. "Storm Eagle?" Eagle then turned and flew off. "What was that about?" Zero shrugged. "Don't know. But I do know that we've got to catch up and finish this!"

(Megaman Legends 2 (Playstation) - Glyde's Car Train Battle fades out)

Now, before I end this chapter, something amusing happened earlier. So, let's go back to around when the explosion threw those three cars backwards. Let's watch, shall we not.

"Stupid… Hunters… I'll… Get you… Oh, what am I talking about? I'm getting too old for this."

Buffalo, who'd been chasing the trains ever since his disappearance, slowed down and finally stopped. "Ah, screw it!" He suddenly heard a noise above him and he looked up to see the descending remains of three burning train cars. "Oh crap…" The cars landed on top of Buffalo and the entire thing exploded into a burning heap of scrap metal. Amusing, ain't it?

I just felt like throwing that last part in for no reason. Anyways, in the next chapter, Megaman and Zero continue working their way up to the front car and there, they'll square of with the conductor himself. Read and Review and I'll continue. Unless of course, I like die or something. But the chances of something like that happening are pretty slim. Right?
