Disclaimer: I own the storyline. I own some attacks. Aside from that, I don't own squat.

In this chapter, Megaman faces off with the world's most feared Maverick and another disaster happens, one which will change the planet's fate forever. No introductory comments! Here's chapter forty-eight!

Chapter XXXXVIII

Fortress Level 3 Boss

The True Meaning of Friendship

Megaman stepped backwards. "W... What? Zero chuckled that evil chuckle again. "Don't play dumb with me, hunter! Weren't you listening to the Mavericks? Tunnel Rhino said that I had the eyes of a Maverick. Agree with him now?" Megaman gained a cold sweat as Zero chuckled yet again. "But don't worry. It will all be over soon."

Warning! Warning!

"Prepare to face the world's most feared Maverick! For I am the Red Demon in the flesh!"

Before anyone could move, Zero lifted off of the ground and his hair flapped madly behind him in the intense power pulsating from Zero. "It ends now, hunter!" He quickly vanished, reappeared in front of Megaman, punched him into the air, then slammed him into the ground. "Hahahahaha! You are nothing to me, hunter! Not even Sigma could survive this power!"

Puzzled, Megaman decided to shrug it off and jump to his feet. However, Zero punched him into the air again and smashed him into the ground by stomping on top of him. Then, he painfully twisted his feet while keeping them in place before jumping off. Megaman got up and used a weaker Giga Attack. Unbeknownst to him, Zero now had more power than High Max.

Giga Attack

Giga Crush

Hardly stunned by the attack, Zero shot over and shouldered Megaman in the face. Then, he grabbed his head, lifted him off of the ground, and drew his saber.

(A.N. Oddly enough, this isn't my attack. This is a move from a Playstation game called Evil Zone. Very cool game.)

"Jectrenjatraja!" He swiftly stabbed the saber into Megaman several times before throwing him over his head. Megaman, who was starting to bleed profusely, used a Sub Tank and quickly recovered.

Sub Tanks Left - 11

Megaman shifted to the Shadow Armor and got a fully-charged attack ready. "Do you honestly think you can survive? I slaughtered the entire hunter base before! You're nothing compared to me!" Megaman lunged forward and swiftly used the fully-charged saber. This did very little damage, but damage nonetheless.

"Hahahahaha! You and every pathetic soul on this planet will perish! Dawn is two hours away and you've yet to reach Sigma! How confident are you in the Master now, hunter scum?" Megaman sneered as he realized that he was right. Megaman ignored this though and used a Sub Tank to use a Giga Attack.

Sub Tanks Left - 10

Giga Attack

Shadow Crescents

This attack actually knocked Zero out of the air, but he quickly countered by landing, holding his saber behind his head, then swinging it forward, and finally thrusting it forward. "Ha! Ha! Ha!" He repeated this attack thrice before lifting back into the air. "You are nothing to my power." He dashed forward, but disappeared instantaneously. Then, in a barrage of fifteen attack, he dashed sideways with his saber drawn. He'd appear, dash forward, then disappear before reappearing a split-second later in a different spot.

When the fifteen attacks were over, he appeared once more and slammed the saber into the ground, creating several pillars of darkness to erupt from the ground. Megaman was hit by a few of these attacks, but managed to get a fully-charged shot ready. He dashed over to Zero, jumped up, and slashed Zero in the face with the fully-charged saber. This actually did something.

Zero stumbled backwards and held a hand to his face as the diagonal slash began bleeding. "Consider yourself lucky, hunter. Everyone prior to you would've died by now. But don't think you're going to win. Just 'cause you've gotten this far doesn't mean you're not going to die." Zero removed his hand and let the blood ooze down his face. He then drew his saber, landed, and ran forward before swinging the saber downwards. Megaman countered by using another fully-charged saber attack followed by a single buster shot. This time, it was along Zero's chest and, instead of blood, it was oil that sprayed out of his wound. As blood dripped from his face and oil from his chest, he looked angrily at Megaman. "Now you've done it, hunter! You've pissed me off!"

(Near Death Attack - Hell's Fury)

(A.N. Again, this isn't my attack. It's the final boss' special from Evil Zone. It's a pain in the rear to dodge though.)

Zero dashed forward and punched Megaman so hard, he literally flew into the sky. Then Zero smashed Megaman hard into the ground with his fists and reappeared to the north of his body. There he shoved his fists forward and fired a large laser at Megaman. He did this four times for each direction, all of them hitting. "You! Are! Dead! Hunter!" Then, Zero reappeared and landed near Megaman's limp body. He held his saber, but didn't move, not even to take a breath.

Roll held a hand to her mouth as Zero chuckled and whipped blood from his face. Then, he walked over to Megaman. He stopped at his side and kicked him. When he didn't respond, the carbons became awestruck. Tears began forming in Roll's eyes. "No…" Zero turned and began laughing maniacally again when, out of nowhere, Megaman's eyes ripped open and he stabbed the saber into Zero's side. "Hahaha… WHAT? You son of a…" Megaman quickly jumped up and kicked Zero's face so hard, he was sent flying into the snow several feet away. Then, Megaman grabbed Zero's saber ran over and slashed Zero again, finishing off the Red Demon.

(The Red Demon's Health)

None

Megaman quietly used a Sub Tank and stumbled backwards due to his lack of energy.

Sub Tanks Left - 9

Zero slowly pulled the saber out of his body and threw it at Megaman, who easily caught it. Now in possession of both sabers, Megaman just looked at him until Zero keeled over. "Zero?" The carbons, still stunned at Megaman's sudden burst of energy and revival, just watched on as the disastrous happened. Zero began exploding. "It's… Up to you… Trigger!" Megaman ran forward, but stopped when a light surrounded him. "Zero! NO!" Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done about. Thus, Zero became no more.

Megaman and the carbons shielded their eyes from the explosion, but Megaman spun around and just stared at where Zero once stood. Then, he looked down and angry tears formed in his eyes. He spun around and began marching towards the carbons. Roll outstretched a towards Megaman, but he just walked past her. "Sigma will pay dearly for this." He managed under gritted teeth. The carbons gave one final look to the resting place of Zero before following a very steamed and emotional Megaman.

Yes. I did. I killed off Zero. Anyways, in the next chapter, the highly-anticipated showdown with Sigma arrives and things began heating up as certain facts are revealed. Read and Review and I'll continue!
