Megaman Excel

Disclaimer: 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 run into Vile yet again, an electric Maverick stalls them, then spills the beans, and things begin turning into a prelude for disaster. Just a warning, I haven't played Megaman X1 in quite some time, nor is he in Megaman Extreme 2. I'll go along with what's in my memory and in a strategy guide. So, here's chapter twenty-five!
Chapter XXV
Monkey Business
Once the three ships arrived at Manda Island, Zero went berserk and asked anyone and everyone if they'd seen anything out of the usual. When he had no success, he sighed and sat down by the city entrance wall. "I give up. Nobody's seen…" Suddenly, an old man walked up. "You want to know if anyone has seen anything unusual? Well, now that I think about it, I do remember seeing an odd figure in the ruins. 'Zero started. "You went in the ruins?" The man nodded. "Just to look. By the looks of it, he was quite relaxed." Zero quickly jumped to his feet. "Thank you! You've been a great help!" Without waiting for anyone, he took of for the ruins and the old man called out to him. "Any time!" Megaman nodded at the man and then followed Zero, soon followed by the group and Axl.
Meanwhile, the mysterious figure took note of Zero's approaching form. "So, they're here. Well, I'd better make myself scarce." As he disappeared in a breeze of rose petals, Zero and the others arrived. "Wow! We haven't been here since the incident with Web Spider, yet this place hasn't changed a bit." Zero looked around before Axl cried out. "The ceiling!" Everyone looked up and saw a large lump in the vines and ivy in the ceiling. "They wouldn't be stupid enough to put it there. Someone's been expecting us and moved it for us!" Megaman walked to the walk and backed up. "I've got it!" In a few swift movements, Megaman jumped at the wall, continuously bounced from one side of the wall to the next, and grabbed onto the ivy when he got to the ceiling. Everyone just stood on the ground in amazement, save Axl and Zero. "Like I said, the triangle jump is one handy ability."
As Megaman got close enough, he tore away at the vines holding the object up. "Get ready to catch it." Zero called back. "It'll be better to us broken." Megaman pondered this for a second. "Point proven." Megaman tore the final vine away and the giant Ride Armor laser began it's descent to the floor.
Warning! Warning!
However, because everyone was looking up at the descending object, no one saw the shadow darting towards them until it had caught the part. "Holy shit!" Everyone started and instinctively moved backwards as a large, yellowish monkey-like robot continued holding the part in the air. "Spark Mandrill!" The monkey put the part down on the ground. "You'd seem better off in pieces instead, hunter." Mandrill had a yellowish body and two large arms. His legs were small, but it wasn't the legs everyone was worried about. "You're early." Zero smirked. "We got an 'anonymous' tip." Mandrill looked at him. "Not you. Him."
Everyone turned to see the familiar form of Vile. "For the love of crap! Why don't you just stand still for a second?" Zero growled and the part was thrown over his head. Vile barely managed to catch it. "Watch it!" Mandrill looked emotionless. "I was watching it. Just get out of here. I'll finish these fools off." Vile nodded and beamed off. Mandrill turned and, to everyone's amazement, jumped onto the walkway that was between the ceiling and the floor. Megaman had already jumped onto the bridge and Zero took off for the nearest door. "Hold on! We'll be there in a second!" Megaman nodded and summoned the Force Armor. Mandrill smashed his fists together as his health was tallied up. "I'm going to give you the shock of a lifetime!"

(Mandrill's Health)
------------------------------
Mandrill started by slamming his fist into the ground, sending a ball of electricity both was down the walkway. Megaman jumped over them and fired a fully-charged shot before Axl flew up to the walkway as Eagle. He changed back and Megaman let him take lead by beaming out.
Active Member - Axl
Axl summoned a flame-thrower and, with no pun intended, began firing it. "Flame Stream!"
(A.N. Just so you know, chances are that I got the name of this attack wrong too. Also, my friend has recently found a site on the Internet that allows him to download the PC version of classic games from systems like the NES and Genesis. And one of those games I have begun playing, for it's name is Megaman X2. That's right. I am now playing the ONLY X series game that I've never played before! Although it's a bit late to add anyone in now, I might mention some of the plot-line later. But until then…)
Mandrill backed up from the initial hit from the flame, but he recovered soon enough to nail Axl in the stomach with a powerful punch. Axl groaned as he stood up and he also noticed that Mandrill was gone. When he looked above him, he saw Mandrill swinging from the ivy on the ceiling. He took this opportunity and activated Giga Attack.
Giga Attack
DNA Change
Axl changed into Blizzard Buffalo, but due to his great size, part of the railing was destroyed. Axl made up for that by shooting a large ice-based laser at Mandrill. This froze the monkey solid. As Axl changed back, he beamed out as Zero ran through the door and sliced Mandrill with Sigma Blade.

Active Member - Zero
Mandrill then shot a ball of electricity forward and it split in two once it hit the wall. By now, unbeknownst to everyone else, Roll had snuck out of the ruins and had began asking people if they'd spotted Vile. No one had seen anything, so Roll decided to head back to the ruins just as Zero was knocked off of the walkway and onto the ground below. Mandrill nearly jumped on top of him, but Zero rolled away. Zero then summoned K knuckle and punched Mandrill hard in the stomach twice before backing off.
Zero beamed out and let Megaman take lead because he'd just gotten Blizzard Buffalo's weapon thanks to the DNA sample Axl had boosted from his wreckage.
Active Member - Megaman Trigger
Megaman had fully-charged it and then he fired. A large bunch of icicles emerged and became lodged in Megaman's buster. Megaman dashed forward with it extended and it not only froze Mandrill, but it broke him out of his icy prison only to refreeze him again. Then, the icicles melted away.

(A.N. Please don't hurt me. I know that that was a bad pun, but I couldn't help myself.)
Mandrill then nailed Megaman with an uppercut, grabbed him in mid-air, and whipped him into the nearest wall, causing massive damage. Megaman used another icicle bunch to hurt Mandrill and then he fired a regular fully-charged shot to finish him off.

As Mandrill exploded, Zero and Axl beamed down. However, Mandrill was still alive when the dust settled. "Nice try, losers. But I've got an appointment with…" Zero cut him off. "You've got to tell us where Vile is taking these things or you'll get your appointment all right. An appointment with my fist!" Mandrill laughed at Zero's slight outburst, but he spilled the beans nonetheless. "They plan on using the armor to wipe out several cities. I'm not sure where they're going to use it, but…" Again, Zero cut him off. "Where's Vile?" Mandrill sighed. "He and this 'partner' of his are hiding out in the ruins of the Laguz Island facility." Zero and the others started. "Get those ships in the air! We'll be there in a sec!"
Everyone took of for the ships, save Megaman, Zero, and Axl. "Mandrill, I appreciate you doing this." Mandrill laughed. "Of course you do. If I could move my arms right now, you'd both be…" Suddenly, a shot came out of nowhere and destroyed what remained of Mandrill's body. "Vile!" Vile's arm cannon had smoke emerging from the barrel of it. "Dirty rotten traitor. He was a lost cause anyways!" Megaman stepped forward. "You won't get away with this!" Vile chuckled. "I already have…" He beamed out and the hunters ran for their ships.
Once they arrived at Kattelox Island, the hunter trio made their way around the ruins and broke down the wall that had caved-in. "Dammit!" If something had been there, it was gone now. The room was in tatters, a sign that whomever had been here had left in a hurry. "Son of a…" Again, Zero restrained himself. "Vile beat us here." As the others tried calming Zero down, the computer monitor beeped on and revealed the location of the final part. "The final part… Wonderful. If we screw up now, a lot of carbons will pay for it." Axl inspected the monitor and started. "Guys! We could pull this off! The last part is here on Kattelox!" Zero sighed. "Perhaps, but what if Vile took it along with him?" Axl pointed to a certain passage of the text. "He couldn't have! Construction on it finished about two minutes ago!" The other two started. "Well then, let's get looking!"
As the hunters left, the familiar figure form the Manda ruins sighed. "If only they knew that one of them won't survive this experience… Ah well… I'd better get back to my ruins. I could be spotted with this wall down. With that, the figure disappeared in a third breeze of rose petals.
In the next chapter, the hunter trio square off with the world's most annoying Maverick and a catastrophe happens. Just a warning, for those of you who have played Megaman X7, you might not want to read this chapter. Also, I'm going to take a break so that I can update The Random Megaman Parody Show. Aside from this, The Random Megaman Parody Show is my most popular fanfic. So, if you like the humor I throw into this, I'd like to recommend that one to you. I'm also going to be adding another Family Feud parody to it and my brother is going to guest star. So, please Read and Review either fanfic. Either way, I'll be happy.
