Megaman Excel

Disclaimer: I own the storyline. I own some attacks. Aside from that, I don't own squat.
In this chapter, the armada of ships are attacked by something known as a doppelganger and it's of someone who's got ties to Elysium. Plus, Sigma shows off his powers of the 'Mother Lode' and a shocking discovery is made. Let's just get to the point. So, here's chapter forty-one!
Chapter XXXXI
Stage Select 2/
Fortress Level 2
Aerial Assault
(The screen remains black until a TV is turned on.)
Hello, and welcome! This is a KTOX TV special report. About an hour after the feared return of Sigma, the KTOX crew and several other people, such as Von Bleucher, Prof. Casket, and the legendary digger, Megaman, have set off for the dreaded Forbidden Island. We are about twenty minutes from reaching the storm surrounding the island. Megaman and his ally, Zero, have yet to release a plan of how to get past it, but more will be said when it becomes available. Back to you in the studio!
(The TV is turned off and the screen changes to an evening sky filled with ships.)

Megaman stood on the roof of the Flutter, a scarf tied around his neck. He was wearing the Neutral Armor, being prepared for the worst. He only had only fifteen Sub Tanks left, but he feared hat it wasn't enough. Roll, who was wearing her winter coat, carefully climbed onto the roof and closed the hatch. "Megaman…" Megaman continued to watch the storm. "After all we've done… After all we went through… After all of the people who have died… He still came back…" Roll placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Megaman, I'll be with you until the very end." Megaman turned to her and smiled. Off course, she didn't see it due to his face mask. "Roll, I have to admit something." Roll perked up as her hand slipped away. "Yes?" Megaman sighed. "Remember when I walked in on you when you were changing?" Roll did recall and she blushed slightly. "Yes." Megaman tensed up. "That was an accident, I swear. But when it comes to me walking in on your bath…"
Roll became infuriated and an angry blush crossed her face. "You pervert!" Megaman took a step back. "Also, I sort of read your diary." Roll's eye began twitching. "What?" She managed a response through gritted teeth. Again, he backed up. "Look, I can explain." Roll cracked her knuckles. "It had better be a good excuse." Megaman sweatdropped. "It is. You see…" He hesitated, then said, "I love you, Roll." The angry blush nearly vanished, leaving nothing but a thin red strip as Roll started. "Wha… What?" Megaman stepped forward and lightly gripped her arms. "Roll, I read your diary because… Because I wanted to know if you had feelings for me." Roll blushed a little harder. "I… I do…" Megaman blushed lightly as well. "I know…" Then, the time came. They both closed there eyes and there heads moved closer… Closer… Closer… Until… -bonk- The two of them immediately lost their blushes as they remembered one small detail: the face mask blocking the lower half of his face.
(A.N. How's that for spoiling a romantic moment?)
Roll blushed hard, as did Megaman. "Sorry…" Roll shrugged it off. Just then, Zero climbed up. "Something wrong? Am I interrupting anything?" The two exchanged glances before shaking their heads. Roll went back inside the Flutter as Megaman brought his map up one final time.

(Manda Island now features a square with the shaded head of Axle the Red. The cursor moves to Forbidden Island where a square with Sigma's head appears.)
"Well, this is it. I was hoping that it wouldn't have to come to this."
"Me too. No matter what we do, he still comes back."
"Yeah, but not this time. This is it!"
"Right!"
(The square is selected and the map is closed out.)

Meanwhile, on the Gesselchaft, Teasel was being a lot more nervous than usual. "What's wrong with you, Teasel? Calm down." Teasel, who was with Tron, Bon, and Servbot Numbers 27 and 1, looked at her as if she was crazy. "Calm down? CALM DOWN? Tron, in case you haven't heard, a psychopath has just returned after three-hundred years, beat the utter and total crap out of Megaman and Zero, and is now expecting us to go to Forbidden Island! That is worth being scared to death about!" Tron sighed as the pilot Servbot, Number 9, called out. "Miss Tron. Mister Teasel. We've got a problem." Tron perked up. "What kind of problem."
Warning! Warning!
"The flying kind!" Megaman and Zero ducked as a huge bird-like robot flew overhead. The question Zero had just answered was Banner's. He'd asked the same thing and had gotten the same response as Tron did. The hunters looked behind them to see a large, golden, bird-like Reaverbot. "Geatz? What are you doing?" His eyes shimmered red and Zero cut in before he could reply. "Wonderful. A doppelganger." Teasel, who now stood with his family at the front of the ship's main control room, queried, "Doppelganger?" Zero somehow heard this and yelled out, "A term used by Reploids to specify reploids who have the same, appearance, and memories of other reploids without actually being them! In other words, this is nothing but a rip-off of the original!"
The doppelganger Geatz flew over the Flutter again. "I can not allow you to reach Forbidden Island! To go there with carbons would be genocide!" Zero snarled and whipped out his saber. "Save it, copy! Just bring it or hold still!" D-Geatz looked at Zero and flew into the air, holding his elevated position. "As you wish!"

(D-Geatz's Health)
------------------------------
D-Geatz flew down and then straightened out once he was level with Zero. "Prepare yourself!" He fired a series of energy blasts from his mouth and Zero was knocked to the ground as Megaman beamed off and the Flutter's tail wing was lowered. "Miscalculated." D-Geatz turned and flew in a half-circle while white streams of air flew from his wingtips. Then, D-Geatz turned and flew high into the air. "Get ready!" He tried to dive-bomb Zero only to have a broadsword slashed along his bottom half. "AH!" A small trail of grayish smoke now trailed D-Geatz as well. However, Zero swapped places with Megaman and he summoned the Blade Armor.
Active Member - Megaman Trigger
D-Geatz flew directly as Megaman and spit out a trail of fire as he passed him. "Is that the best you can do, purifier?" D-Geatz continued to trail a stream of grayish smoke until he turned towards Megaman and was met by a Giga Attack.
Giga Attack
Piercing Blades
Due to D-Geatz being a Reaverbot and the powerful attack, plus the fact that they all were vertical aligned, this caused massive damage.

Again, D-Geatz cried out in pain and began to circle the Flutter once more. This time, the smoke had grown several shades blacker. Megaman lined it up, then fired a fully-charged shot that immobilized him. He streamed a trail off black smoke until he came crashing down on top of the Gesselchaft. "Quickly! Get him off us!" The Servbots immediately got to the task, as did Bon Bonne. D-Geatz roared in anger and spit a large energy ball towards Megaman, one which was easily countered with a fully-charged shot.

(Near Death Attack - Cannon Fodder)
D-Geatz took control of the Gesselchaft's cannons and aimed them towards the Flutter. Megaman easily took care of this by fired repeated buster shots at each of the cannons and the fired bombs. Once they were all destroyed, Bon Bonne managed to shove D-Geatz off of the Gesselchaft by ramming into him. D-Geatz immediately took flight once more and Zero beamed in.
(A.N. Let me put it this way. In Mortal Kombat, this is the part where 'Finish Him!' would come into play.)
Zero summoned D Glaive and, when D-Geatz came flying towards him, he impaled the lance in his face, rolled onto his back, and ripped the lance out after it had gone done half of his underbelly. Then, Megaman finished him off with a combo of two buster shots.

D-Geatz stopped in midair, turned to the hunters, and began to weakly flap his wings. "This cannot be happening! Regardless if I am doppelganger or not, I will not allow you to reach this island!" He lunged forward only to have a laser coming from Forbidden Island go right through his chest. In midair, D-Geatz turned into a small man-like reploid who began plummeting to the ocean, but exploded long before that. Then, to everyone's amazement and horror, the storm around Forbidden Island began to thin out before it evaporated completely. "The storm… It's… Gone…" Banner just looked in awe at the now visible island. Zero sneered. "This is nothing more than Sigma showing off his power. Let's just land. That icy clearing would be perfect to land this many ship." Oddly enough, a large, icy portion of the island had appeared just as the storm diminished.
Once they had landed several minutes later, Zero jumped down and felt something under the snow. He walked forward a little ways before kneeling and brushing away the snow. He gasped and quickly stood to is feet when he realized what it was. "What is it?" Zero became quite nervous for the first time since he'd first appeared on Manda Island. "It's… A refractor. We're standing in the presence of a refractor graveyard!" Everyone gasped and looked around. Sure enough, no matter where Zero brushed the snow away, more refractors lay underneath it. "So, this is where it happened. This is where Metal Shark Player went crazy." He was right because it wasn't the refractor 'graveyard' he was worried about, it was the flashback he had.
-Flashback-
Zero came to and heard numerous voices around him. The first thing he noticed was the temperature. Then, it was the huge group of Mavericks around him, Metal Shark Player being the most noteworthy. "What the hell?" Tunnel Rhino quickly thrust a finger at him. "Kill him!" Suddenly, his neck snapped to the right, knocking him out for a few seconds. He regained consciousness and looked up to see a blurred red head. "What are you doing?" The figure holding him spoke. "Trying to regain our good name." Metal Shark Player laughed. "The carbons have abandoned us. The only thing you should be trying to show them is the true meaning of fear! As the Mavericks broke in cheers encouraging this, the figure turned and left with Zero in tow. He lost consciousness shortly before this.
-End Flashback-
Zero shook the thought from his head and stood up. "Come on. Let's get going."
In the next chapter, another doppelganger Maverick attacks and the first of a series of ice-type boss fights begins. Also, things with Zero begin to worsen.
