Megaman Excel

Disclaimer: My God! A new disclaimer! What is this world coming to? Anyways, I don't own the X or Legends series of the Megaman storyline. I also don't own the music mentioned/ used in this fanfic. However, I do own the storyline and certain attacks. Check my profile to see which ones.
In this chapter, the hunter trio face someone who's more of a spoiled brat than a Maverick and watch as the plans for the Magna-Goliath armor are revealed. In case you're wondering, I don't like this battle. It's a pain in the rectum. I'd be lucky if I got to his second form without being hit once. Anyways, you get the point. So, here's chapter twenty-three!
Chapter XXIII
Spoiled Rotten
A shadowed figure slowly drifted across the floor of the Laguz Island ruins. He looked around and a blinking monitor caught his eye. "Something still works here?" He moved over to it and looked at the zoomed-in map of Nino Island. He seemed confused by this, but he wrote it down in a notebook he brought. He continued shuffling through the files on the computer and one particular one caught his eye. He brought it up and his eyes grew wide as he began looking over the blueprints for the Magna-Goliath Ride Armor. "This could level a city! If not that, then the entire island!" The figure quickly wrote some stuff down and then returned to the image of Nino Island to prevent people from finding out that he'd been there. He then began making his way out of the ruins and, as he exited, the familiar form of Magma Dragoon.
(A.N. For those of you who can't put two and two together, this is Axl disguised as Dragoon. Dragoon was destroyed, so it wouldn't make sense if he was looking at the computer and not Axl. Get it? Also, I've discovered yet another goof-up. The name of the ice based island in Megaman Legends 2 is Calinca Island, not Yosyonke Island. And you can blame these recent goof-ups on my laziness. I didn't feel like hooking my Playstation back up, so I didn't.)
Axl changed back to his normal self only to change back into to change back into Storm Eagle. He then took flight and began heading back towards Calinca. Meanwhile, the three figures were speaking elsewhere. "So, run us through this again." Vile sighed. "I'm going to construct the Magna-Goliath armor with your help and move it up to Elysium. There, I will charge the armor's laser and, with each shot I take, wipe an island off of the map! If we're lucky, all three of the hunters will try to stop me. In which case…" He turned to the shark-like being. "You can have at it with the carbons." The shark smirked. "Excellent." Vile sighed again. "Yes, excellent. Now help me finish this thing!"
Back on Calinca Island, Axl began telling everyone what he'd seen. "…And this thing could wipe out the planet in just a few shots!" Zero frowned. "We have to stop this, yes. But we don't know…" Axl interrupted. "The first part is being built on Calbania Island." Axl looked up and smirked as Zero turned away. "Statement withdrawn. Let's go." Within minutes, the crew of each of the three ships were heading for Calbania Island. Axl was flying alongside Glyde's ship as Blast Hornet. "How'd you get his DNA now?" Axl chuckled. 'I did a little clean up off my own, grabbed a piece of debris, and obtained his DNA. I did that with a lot of your other Maverick, along with the ones I destroyed single-handed." Zero smirked despite himself. "You've got to stop being so cocky. Why I'm telling you this, I don't know. I mean, it's like trying to tell Dynamo to stop being a pain in the rear." Axl grumbled at this, but didn't say anything.
When they arrived, they were met by two familiar faces. "Hey! Megaman!" Appo, a kid Megaman had befriended on his first trip to Calbania, ran up and began bouncing around him. His sister, Shu, ran up after them. "Hey! Megaman! You look… Different." Megaman blushed lightly. "Long story." Glyde exited his ship only to have a pig thrown at him. "You big meanie! What are you doing here?" As the pigs kept flying, Glyde raised his arms defensively. "I'm just helping these guts out!" Shu slowly lowered the pig she'd just lifted. "Really?" Megaman nodded and Axl quickly changed back to normal before the pigs began flying again.
(A.N. In Megaman Legends 2, Appo and Dah are the mentally retarded brothers on Calbania. They speak weirdly, so don't bug me if I use bad grammar, which I will!)
Suddenly, Dah ran up and began bouncing around Shu. "Shu! I just saw a huge kanga!" Megaman and Zero raised their eyebrows. "A what?" Dah finally stopped bouncing around. "A kanga! You know? Hop hop!" Zero started. "A kangaroo! Come on! Let's go!" Everyone ran out of the village and into a clearing. Dah walked forward and began looking around. "Huh? Where'd kanga go? He was here minute ago."
Warning! Warning!
Zero sighed and looked up. "Figured." Megaman also looked up and saw a descending figure. They both jumped out of the way as the thing came crashing down. Dah jumped away and pointed at it. "There it is!" It was a large, kangaroo-like robot with a smaller kangaroo inside. "I should've known! Vanishing Gungaroo!"
The pint-sized kangaroo laughed. "Zero. Trigger. Long time no see. How'd you like if I kicked your butts so far into this journey?" Zero scoffed. "You? Kick our butts? That's a laugh!" Gungaroo began waving his hands in the air. "What? How dare you insult me!" Zero chuckled as Axl walked up to his side. "With someone as bratty as you are, it's hard not to." Gungaroo growled. "Fine! Be that way! I'll beat you all up!" Zero muttered, "Of course you will…"

(Gungaroo's Health)
--------------------
Gungaroo started off by bouncing around in his kangaroo-shaped Ride Armor. He then smashed the fists together and leaned forward, releasing a large, pinkish shield of energy. This was somewhat similar to the weapon Axl had used on Tunnel Rhino. Axl was the active member, so he summoned a pair of handguns and began firing them simultaneously. It didn't do much damage, so Axl activated Giga Attack in hopes that it would do a decent amount of damage.
Giga Attack
DNA Change
Axl emerged in the form of Storm Eagle. He fired a large, horizontal tornado that seriously damaged Gungaroo.

Axl then switched out as Zero appeared with the already-summoned V Hanger.
Active Member - Zero
Zero fired a purplish blade forward and it knocked the Ride Armor backwards. Zero then fired three more, two of which hit him. Then Gungaroo tried jumping on top of Zero. Zero dodged it and fired the fourth and final blade.
(Gungaroo's Health)
None
The Ride Armor began exploding and, just before it did, Gungaroo abandoned ship and began hopping around.
(A.N. You didn't think that was it, did you?)
(Gungaroo's TRUE Health)
------------------------------
Zero got ready, summoned Z Saber, and activated Giga Attack.
Giga Attack
Command Arts
Due to the fact that Gungaroo was EXTREMELY evasive (almost to the point where you want to go on a chainsaw massacre), Zero selected Skull Crash. He dashed over to Gungaroo, jumped into the air, spun around vertically, and slammed his saber down Gungaroo's front side.
(Gungaroo's TRUE Health)
----------------------
Gungaroo began bouncing around again before pausing and punching the air ahead of him twice and doing an uppercut, narrowly missing Zero. Gungaroo then proceeded to bounce around again before pausing, slamming his fists together, and shooting out much smaller, pinkish shields. Zero dodged them and switched out, letting Megaman take his place.
Active Member - Megaman Trigger
Megaman had Neutral Armor out and he paused as the armor began glowing red.
Incarus program activated
Megaman got a fully-charged shot and fired a large laser that knocked Gungaroo down. "OW! Ya big meanie!" Gungaroo stood up only to be hit by the fully-charged version of Wind Cutter. Megaman had unlocked and charged it in seconds and it fired three homing Wind Cutters at once. This damaged Gungaroo, but it only got worse as Megaman activated his Giga Attack.

Giga Crush

(Near Death Attack - Full Metal Boxer)
Gungaroo began glowing white as he began rapidly punching the air ahead of him. It began increasingly difficult for Megaman to dodge them and the last the punches landed. Megaman then fired another laser shot and the baton was passed back to Axl.
Active Member - Axl
Axl brought out another odd gun and he fired a large laser-like thing that bounded off of the ground. "Bound Blaster!" This knocked Megaman backwards and Axl quickly brought out a crossbow. "Black Arrow!" Arrows similar to that of Dark Mantis' were fired and hit Gungaroo in the back front. This nearly finished Gungaroo off, so Axl summoned his handgun and fired a stream of rapid-fire bullets. This finished him off.

None
(Megaman X7 (PS2) - Boss Theme fades out)
Megaman and Zero beamed as Gungaroo flipped backwards and began exploding. "You meanies! You'll get it for this! AGH!" Everyone shielded themselves from the miniscule explosion and Shu looked at the mess. "What was that?" Zero turned and began walking towards the village. "Nothing to be concerned about. There's nothing much to worry about. Not anymore."
Elsewhere, plans for the Magna-Goliath armor were continuing as scheduled. "We just managed to get that part off of Calbania before the hunter got there. Gungaroo distracted them so we could get here." The figure raised a non-existent eyebrow. "He willingly offered to sacrifice his life?" Vile shrugged. "Yeah. With some convincing anyways." The figure sighed. "We need those parts while losing as few people as we can." Vile scoffed. "Why? Why don't you just bring them back to life if your 'talent' is so perfect?" The figure stepped forward. "It doesn't work that way!"
Vile shrugged. "Whatever. You seemed to do a pretty good job bringing us back." The shark-like being stepped forward and growled. "It took several dozen refractors just to get half of the job done!" Vile scoffed. "Whatever…" The shark growled and began walking away. "I brought him back to life and I'll just as easily finish him off. I swear it. I finish him yet." Vile, who'd somehow heard this, chuckled lightly. 'Not if I do the same to you first…"
In the next chapter, another part of the Magna-Goliath armor is retrieved, the hunter trio runs into Vile unexpectedly, and an extremely fierce Maverick pops up to save his rear.
