Megaman Excel
By: Metal Sonic EX
Disclaimer: I own the storyline. I own some attacks. Aside from that, I don't own squat.
In this chapter, the original icy Maverick appears and things with Zero go from bad to 'HOLY HELL! HE'S CRAZY!'. This is the chapter I originally forgot about. Luckily, I remembered this, so now here it is. Also, due to a review I've received, I have decided to clear something up. In the last chapter, when I said two chapters left, I meant two chapters left until something happens, not when the fanfic was going to end. I've still got twelve chapters on this thing. Anyways, here's chapter forty-five!
Chapter XXXXV
Fortress Level 3/
Revived Boss Fights
Take A Chill Pill!
A few minutes later, they arrived at a spacious corner turn where people were frozen during Megaman's first visit. He closed out the map and turned to Zero. "We're almost at the center of the island. Sigma still hasn't moved." Zero looked into the distance. Shit! I probably won't make it through Sigma's last form. Not without cracking… He nodded as Teasel began rubbing his hands together. "Could we hurry this up? I can barely feel my fingers." He turned, nodded again, and went to walk forward, but nearly fell over instead. "What the…" He looked down and saw that his feet were frozen.
Warning! Warning!
"What the hell?" Suddenly, a penguin-like robot broke out of a nearby igloo. "Ha! Stupid hunter! I can freeze you solid and you wouldn't even know!" The penguin had navy blue armor, piercing eyes, and a large, sharp beak that curved. "Chill Penguin, arctic investigator." He swiftly kicked one foot forward and broke the ice that held him. "You really get on my nerves, so let's just cut to the chase." Penguin smirked. "Anxious, are we? What for?" Zero frowned. "To finish you Mavericks off."
Battle Style - Solely 2-D
Active Member - Zero
"Very well. I am genuine if you must know, but that makes no difference. Even if I was a doppelganger, I'd still finish you!"

------------------------------
Zero summoned Sigma Blade as Penguin threw his head back and began to spit out ice blocks that slid towards him. Zero easily dodged this and smashed his fist into the ground while near him. "Tenshouha!" This laser blinded Penguin as well as hurt him. Then, Zero thrust his saber skyward, creating a fiery trail. This set Penguin ablaze momentarily before he jumped over Zero and landed near the carbons. Due to being stunned by Penguin's appearance and the discovery of Wolfang's bluff, he instinctively summoned the Shadow Armor. Then, he activated his own Giga Attack as Zero used his.
Double Giga Attack
Shadow Crescents
Command Arts
Megaman used the orange crescents to inflict damage as Zero Skull Crushed him. Combined, this was one major kick to the balls.

Penguin then began breath an icy vapor that turned into penguin-like sculptures. As Megaman beamed off, Penguin jumped forward, slid through them, and was met face-first with T Breaker. This threw him back, but he flipped in midair and began breathing an icy vapor again. This froze Zero's leg and, as he struggled to break free, Megaman beamed down and covered him.
Active Member - Megaman Trigger
Megaman charged his buster, then let loose a powerful saber slash attack that knocked Penguin on his rear and allowed Zero to break free.

(Near Death Attack - Frost Tower)
Penguin began breathing the icy vapor and soon created a largish tower of ice. Then, he slid into it and knocked it right where Megaman and Zero stood before they rolled away. There, Zero summoned K Knuckle and lunged forward as a sharp pain stabbed into his chest. Without realizing what he was doing, he punched Penguin hard in the chest. So hard it went through him.

Penguin keeled over as far as he could in pain before Zero retracted his fist and Penguin fell onto his back. He didn't explode, but instead, just fell limp. Zero shook his head and started walking along. "Come on. Let's go."
Warning! Warning!
Suddenly, a large lance broke through Penguin's chest and caused him to explode. Then, a tall, lean figure broke from the snow. "What the… Splash Warfly? Why is he here?" Suddenly, it occurred to him that Warfly was water-based. "That's got to be it. Let mer handle this and just go ahead." As Warfly took a step towards Zero, Megaman looked at him. "You sure?" He nodded. "Positive." Megaman shrugged and motioned for the carbons to follow him. They cautiously moved past him and began walking away.
Zero stood for a second before smirking. "You've come a long ways, Trigger. But from here on…" He sighed as he lightly clutched his chest and looked at what he knew to be a Warfly doppelganger. "You're on your own."
In the next chapter, Zero takes on Warfly and the unexpected happens as things take a turn for the apocalyptic. Read and Review and I'll continue! I don't even know why I say that anymore. Whatever.
