In this chapter, the hunter trio square off with the world's most annoying Maverick and a catastrophe happens. In case you've played Megaman X7, you might not want to read this chapter. When I first fought this Maverick, I was downright baffled at why Capcom did this. Then, a similar question popped into my head. That question can be summed up into four words:
Chapter XXVI
What Were They Thinking!
It had been an hour or two since the hunter trio had begun their search and they still hadn't found a thing. Zero searched the ground level, Axl searched by air, and Megaman had gone through every ruin on the island. The three walked into Uptown and sprawled against a building, a street-post, and the ground. "Any luck" Zero, who was leaning against the street-post, shook his head. "Vile had to off taken it. There's no where that it could be that we've already checked." Axl, who was on the ground, sat up and crossed his legs Indian-style. "Maybe it's in Lake Jyun." Megaman, obviously against the building, shrugged. "Or maybe that monitor was planted to mislead us." Suddenly, the junk store owner ran up. "What's with you?" The junk store owner managed a response between deep breathes. "I've… Found… The part…"
Everyone started. "What? Where?" The junk store owner pointed to the forest. "On the outskirts of the city." In an instant, just about everyone who heard this disappeared as they ran towards the city outskirts. The junk store owner sighed, then took after them. On the edge of Kattelox Island, the hunter trio and their friends discovered the actual armor part of the Magna-Goliath armor.
Warning! Warning!
In an instant, Zero summoned T Breaker and, in another instant, Zero lunged for it. However, before he got to it, a fireball was thrown in front of him, distracting him long enough for you-know-who to pop up. "Hahahahaha! Looks like you're screwed, hunter! I win!" Zero swung T Breaker at Vile, who easily dodged it. "You're not getting away with this!" Vile chuckled. "I already have. Besides, you're friend might get lonely if you don't play with him."
Before anyone could move, Vile disappeared with the armor part and Zero let forth a torrent of cursing, not caring who was listening. "Are you done yet?" Zero immediately stopped only to begin having tears roll down his face anime-style. "Why'd it have to be him? Of all people! And at a time like this!" Zero sighed as the tears stopped. "Guys, meet the world's most annoying Maverick, Flame Hyenard." Everyone turned to their right and saw a hyena-like Maverick with a flame emerging from an odd machine on his left shoulder. "You hunters won't succeed. Besides, I must kill you to end my pain." Zero sighed again. "This is almost as bad as we're murders. Fine. You want your pain to end? I'll be happy to oblige."
Suddenly, a large, four-legged, dog-like robot fell on it's feet behind Hyenard. The original Hyenard was on the top of it's head. A copy of him jumped down and ran to the other copy's side. "Yes, it shall end."

------------------------------
Immediately, the dog began walking around and the Hyenard copies began running towards the hunter trio. "Get out of here now!" As Megaman and Axl beamed out, the group turned to leave, but didn't. "Dare I ask why?"
(A.N. If you thought that I was benevolent before, I've got five words for you: YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET! Behold! My evil benevolence of doom!)
"Burn! Burn! Burn to the ground! Burn! Burn!" Teasel started as the Hyenard copies reached Zero and began throwing fireballs at him. "Oh… Point proven." The group took off and Zero summoned D Glaive. "Burn! Burn! Burn to the ground! Burn! Burn! Burn!" Zero was getting ticked already, so he timed his move and, when it came, he took off for the dog-like robot who was walking in circles. The Hyenard copies shut up as they took chase and Zero climbed up it's leg. When he got on top of the Mechaniloid, the real Hyenard jumped over as the Hyenard copies jumped up as well. They formed a circle around Zero and then they began running around him while throwing fireballs.
"Burn! Burn! Burn to the ground! Burn! Burn!" Zero got sick of the constant repeating of that word, so the tip of D Glaive became blue as he thrust it forward and into one actual Hyenard. "Splash Laser!" A small stream of water emerged from the tip and the Hyenard clones vanished as the real Hyenard was thrown backwards. "Aw! Arise!" Hyenard summoned his copies again as they all dashed forward. Zero jumped over them all and he quickly spun D Glaive vertically. Again, it hit the real Hyenard and Zero switched places with Megaman.

Megaman brought out his Gaea Armor and almost immediately fired a fully-charged shot. This eliminated a copy and then Megaman eliminated the other. Then, as Hyenard went to summon them again, Megaman used Gaea Fist.

Hyenard dashed forward before summoning his copies again. Megaman easily remedied this by running onto the Mechaniloid's neck. This caused the copies to vanish and Hyenard to jump back onto the head. Megaman then fired a barrage of four fully-charged shots before a rocket fired by the Mechaniloid knocked him backwards. Then, Hyenard jumped onto the Mechaniloid's back, forcing Megaman to regain his composure long enough to switch out with Axl.
Active Member - Axl
Axl didn't change guns, but he used an environmental weapon anyways. "Splash Laser!" Axl unleashed a long stream of water before returning to the neck of the Mechaniloid. Hyenard returned to the head and, just when you thought that it was over, he began again. "Burn! Burn! Burn to the ground! Burn! Burn!" Axl just managed to dodge the fireballs without falling off. Axl then fired the regular gun and Hyenard activated his Near Death Attack.

(A.N. This is where things get out of hand.)
Hyenard knocked Axl onto the Mechaniloid's back, summoned his copies, and made what he did before look like child's play. "Burn! Burn! Burn to the ground! Burn! Burn to the ground! Burn! Burn! Burn! Burn to the ground! Burn! Burn! Burn! Burn! Burn to the ground! Inferno!" A barrage of fireballs was tossed at Axl and he managed to get hit by only two of them. But, when Hyenard and his copies jumped into the air and crashed to the ground, a huge, circular, flame emerged from the ground, almost knocking Axl off of the edge. Axl switched places with Zero once he climbed back up.
Active Member - Zero
Zero had Sigma Blade out, so he easily found the original and, in a three-hit combo, finished Hyenard off.

Hyenard exploded, but his body remained intact. "You… Won't win…" Zero laughed out loud. "Trust me. Even if I don't, remember one thing…" Hyenard's ears perked up once Zero got a benevolent smile. "You didn't either." Zero jumped off of the Mechaniloid's left side and sliced it's lower leg off on the way down. This caused the Mechaniloid to jerk and stop. Then, Zero jumped up and sliced off it's other leg. This caused the entire Mechaniloid, Hyenard in tow, to come crashing into the ocean. After a few seconds, a giant explosion took place, but Zero was already walking towards the city as the water rained down.
As Zero regained control over his sanity, Axl and Megaman beamed down. As they entered the city, everyone turned to them. "This isn't good. Vile has the power to wipe any city off of the face of the planet." As everyone started pondering on what to do next, Axl cut in. "All we have to do is find somewhere high enough for Vile to actually use the armor." The hunters pondered for a second before starting, looking at each other, and looking at something in the sky. "You've got to kidding me!" Everyone followed Zero's gaze to the now visible form of Elysium.
Yes, I am serious. So, did I get on your nerves? If I did, then sorry. That's all he says for the entire battle, so I couldn't really use anything else. Anyways, in the next chapter, Axl remains at Kimotoma City as Megaman and Zero head to Elysium, they square off with Vile's Magna-Goliath armor, and someone very close shall perish. I didn't want to do it so early, but I had to. So, Read and Review and I might consider a sequel.
P.S. Progress report! In Megaman X2, I have beaten two of the X-Hunters (Serges, that bastard!) and three of the bosses. I've also gotten one Sub Tank, one heart tank, and all four armor parts. It's not much, but I'm getting there.
