Megaman Excel

Disclaimer: I own the storyline. I own some attacks. Aside from that, I don't own squat.
In this chapter, the hunter duo faces off with the world's strongest Maverick and things begin to unravel. The chapter following this one will, at last, reveal the identity of both the rose petal figure and the cloaked figure. But for now, the reason that this boss is the hardest in any Megaman X game (as far as I'm concerned) is because… Well… You'll see soon enough. Also, two more things. One, once again, I am pleased to announce that this is by far my most popular fanfic with 2000+ hits! And two, lo and behold, this is officially my 100th chapter on Keep this up and I'll go to 200, if not further! And now, to celebrate, my 100th chapter!
Chapter XXXVIII
Stage Select/
World's Strongest Maverick
Size Doesn't Matter
The longest silence anyone could remember followed. "Come again?" Zero smirked slightly at their reaction and closed his eyes. "Infinity Mijinion, super-intelligent engineering expert and the world's strongest Maverick. He's also a flea."
(A.N. Alas! The world's strongest Maverick has been revealed! In case you're wondering, his name is pronounced Meh-jin-e-un.)
Tron just gaped at this. "You can't be serious! We've gone through badly-named pandas, crawfish, dinosaurs, rhinos, and even a firefly, but the world's strongest Maverick is a flea? I don't believe it!" Zero opened his eyes and shrugged. "Believe what you want, but remember, size doesn't matter." Megaman nodded and brought the map back up.

(The Saul Kada square now features the shaded head of Mattrex. The cursor moves to the final square, which lays on Nino Island.)
"Mijinion's signal is coming from Nino Island."
"Right. Get ready 'cause you'll be proved wrong soon enough."
Tron went 'Hmph!' and Megaman selected the square, closing it out afterwards.
(Megaman X2 (SNES) - Stage Select fades out)
Regardless of the dispute of whether Mijinion was a flea or not, the group took of sometime in the early afternoon. They finally arrived at Nino Island where Von Bleucher and the Guildmaster met them. After explaining their situation, Von Bleucher smirked. "Well, I haven't had many encounters with Mavericks, so this one should prove to be promising." Zero nodded and, just like the battle with the Zero Virus, Nino Island was surrounded in darkness. "What's going on?" Zero tensed up when he felt a shudder. "This isn't good. I think it might be Illumina!" Teasel raised an eyebrow. "Who's Illumina?" Zero sneered. "Mijinion's most beloved 'masterpiece'." Suddenly, the darkness faded and everyone backed up when a large yellowish robot with purple body outlines and purple crystals in its hands appeared. "Run for it! Now!"

Illumina's eyes flashed orange as the group of humans ran like their life depended on it and Megaman beamed off. Then, Illumina raised its hands and, holding them flat with the tips parallel with its eyes, fired a flaming stream of energy at Zero. He too ran into the main floor just as the elevator doors closed. "Zero! There's an odd signal behind door 1!" Zero nodded and entered it. There was a large black machine on the other side of the door. Due to Illumina's height, it didn't have to move, but instead, turned to Zero. He ignored this and summoned Sigma Blade. He performed a quick three-hit slash combo before dodge-rolling backwards and dodged the first of increasingly faster fire streams.
After dodging two of them, Zero thrust the broadsword forward and, dodged the next stream, then summoned T Breaker. After dodging yet another fire stream, he smashed the machine to pieces with the warhammer. This caused Illumina to course with electricity. Soon, something inside it exploded and one of its hands was waved. After this, Zero began to run back to the door as five oddly-shaped bird-like robots soared towards him. Luckily, Zero ducked inside the main floor in time and the robots crashed into the wall. "Behind Door 2 now!" Zero nodded and entered that one. Again, Illumina turned to him and the robots soared towards him as well. Zero, however, activated Giga Attack, immediately dispatching the black machine and the robots simultaneously.

By selected Skull Crush, the entire surrounding area was, surprisingly, cleared of enemies. Again, Illumina coursed with electricity and exploded once more. "Door 3! Should I take lead?" Zero smiled as he quickly ducked back inside. "Not yet." Back in the Guildmaster's office, the island shook slightly when Illumina exploded for the second time. "Is it over yet?" Barrell looked up from the floor everyone was on. Just as something loud was heard. "Apparently not." Teasel whimpered. "I was afraid of that."
Back up on top, Zero entered the main port as Illumina's head was unscrewed and flew above the platform. Then, a laser was emitted from its eyes and began scouring the ground. Zero jumped over it and dashed towards the machine. There he ignored the laser and quickly slashed a newly-summoned Sigma Blade through it. Just as the laser detected him, he slammed his fist into the ground, creating a large laser. "Tenshouha!" This destroyed the machine, but Illumina didn't start coursing with electricity until its head was screwed back onto its head.
As Illumina exploded , Zero entered the main floor only to discover one final machine. "What the…" Illumina's lower half exploded and it began floating over the main floor. By raising its hands and placing them on the opposite shoulder (i.e. left hand, right shoulder; right hand, left shoulder), two walls fell to the ground and opened up to reveal lasers. Zero attacked with Juuhazan, then summoned T Breaker and smashed it into the machine once before the lasers became active. Then, Zero smashed it once more, destroying it all together. The walls were destroyed, Illumina began coursing with electricity and then exploded.

Moments before this, Johnny ran into the Guildmaster's office. "I've closed the ruins off! Megaman and Zero are fighting that…" Before he finished, an explosion was heard and everyone knew what that meant. They ran for the door, but Teasel got there first. "Hahaha! They did it! They freaking… OH SHIT!" Teasel's sudden outburst was confusing, but was quickly answered. Just as Megaman beamed down and high-fived Zero, Illumina's remains began falling to the ground. An arm fell to the ground, then the other. Just when it looked okay, the head fell to the ground, destroyed the cage covering the city one level below and both hunters plummeted the ground. When the dust settled, the sore hunters picked themselves up as their friends came to help. There wasn't much rubble, save the now-demolished cage and numerous robot parts, including an arm and Illumina's now demolished head.
Warning! Warning!
Zero groaned as he stood up and stretched his back. Megaman was helped up by Roll and also groaned. "Man, that hurt." Megaman cracked his back as Zero picked up his warhammer from the rubble. He converted it into Z Saber and placed it into its holder. "Not bad, but now we've got another problem. Before anyone could ask, a annoyingly high-pitched tone of voice echoed through the city. "That's twice, hunters! Now I'm pissed!" Zero sighed as the citizens of Nino Island reluctantly emerged from their shelters. "Ladies and gentlemen, Infinity Mijinion."
About seven greenish bubbles appeared in a circle and they began to merge together. Once they became the same size as a single bubble, a figure appeared inside it and broke the bubble. Everyone, saved the hunters, just stared at him. He was so short, he could barely stand as tall as half of Teasel's shin. A purplish pack in front of his face was being used to keep him in the air. Another pack was on his back. The palm of his hands were some kind of glass. His body was also covered in glass, but it sheltered something which was a purplish orange. His small head was covered in a domed glass case. He was also covered in a light greenish blue and purple armor. No one could see his mouth, although his figure lacked much in size.
Tron finally broke the silence. "This is the world's strongest Maverick? It's a bug!" Mijinion seemed insulted by this. Correction, carbon! I am a flea and you shall refer to me by only that!" Tron shrugged his threat off. "Meh. I still say your a bug." Mijinion was steamed, but he ignored this. "Well, hunters, I suppose your pleased with yourselves. You've come this far and have even destroyed my beloved Illumina. For that, I shall kill you both." Zero scoffed. "Yeah right! Like you'll do any better than the ones before you!" Mijinion crossed his small, twig-like arms. "Hmph! Sponge was a weakling and Pandamonium was naïve. Chameleon was cocky, Owl dense, Anteator over-confident, Crawfish temperamental, and Mattrex power hungry." Zero sneered and, for some reason, looked at Megaman. "And you?" Megaman added his two sense as looked back at Zero. "Mattrex was hungry for the Servbots, but I still don't know why."
Mijinion probably frowned, although no one could tell. "These 'Servbots', as you call them, are merely another tool used in the overall game of carbon benevolence." Zero shook his head. "And I thought I'd heard every crappy excuse. This one takes the cake though." Mijinion scoffed. "Mock me all you want, but, as they say, the buck stops here!"

Megaman beamed off as Roll and everyone nearby got out of the way. Mijinion raised his arms and put one arm forward, moving his other arm backwards. "Prepare yourself, hunters! I'm going to show no remorse for those you've slaughtered!"

------------------------------
Zero beamed off just as Mijinion disappeared and slammed into the center of the city after reappearing. Megaman, clad in the Blade Armor, fired a fully-charged shot that hit Mijinion about twice more after the initial impact. Mijinion fired a yellowish ball along the ground both in front and behind him and soon, a barrage of thin, purple shots rained down. Afterwards, Mijinion took to the air where Megaman slashed him with a fully-charged saber. Time temporarily slowed down as Mijinion separated himself with a copy. When time resumed, Mijinion slammed into the wall behind him and a copy of him remained in his spot. "Hahahahaha!"
Megaman got a fully-charged shot as, together, Mijinion and his copy both keeled over and raised their hands. Then, a series of five greenish bubbles appeared. "Kickey!" Zero called Megaman over their helmet connection and then he beamed down as Megaman did so. "Throw one of your Sub-Tanks to the right! I'll catch it!" Megaman was confused, but he summoned one and did so. "Zero beamed down, caught it, and converted its power to create another Giga Attack.

This did seriously hurt Mijinion, but, in the process, it created about thirteen copies of him. Again, Mijinion was thrown into the wall as the city became infested with Mijinion clones. Zero had anticipated this and, together, just as the Mijinion clones released a torrent of bubbles, they activated Double Attack.

(A.N. Because Mijinion has no actual Near Death Attack, this move is obviously mine.)
The clones were demolished and Zero beamed off. Mijinion flew to the center of the screen and crossed his arms. "Kickey!" A wheel of bubbles appeared and began to spin around him Then, Mijinion lowered himself to Megaman's level before firing a thin, purple shot which curved when Megaman jumped over it. Megaman activated his own Giga Attack which destroyed the bubbles and brought Mijinion to the brink of destruction.

Mijinion began to course with electricity and his voice was hoarse. "Can you not see the truth? The facts are in front of you. Can you not piece them together? Can you not see the reality that is?" Zero beamed down and scoffed. "Your reality? Sorry, but I'd prefer not to see it." Mijinion chuckled weakly. 'Then you, Zero, shall lose your life because of it. I guarantee it." Zero frowned and drew Z Saber. "Yeah right." Zero whipped the saber at Mijinion, impaling him. This finished him off.

Mijinion gripped the saber and weakly drew it from his body, dropping it to the ground afterwards. Then, as a surge of electricity coursed through his body, he was thrown back and he threw his arms out. "Jiyakumbiya!" Within seconds, surprising everyone, Mijinion made an even bigger explosion than Tunnel Rhino had made.

Zero turned and placed his saber in its holder. "It that all?" Then, he beamed off.

Zero smirked as the group of carbons applauded. Teasel smirked in victory, but Zero smirked for another reason. "That's that. Get ready because, according to Trigger, we're heading to Manda Island now." The applauding ceased and Roll queried, "What for?" Zero snickered and turned towards the elevator. Before boarding it, he turned and said, "To do what else? To fight the world's strongest Maverick."
Confused? You're question shall be answered in the next chapter where the world's TRUE strongest Maverick shall arise and a catastrophe for the shall happen. This next chapter shall set the path for the rest of the fanfic, so keep a look out. Anyways, Read and Review 'cause I've got plenty of ideas to last a lifetime!
