51. An Unexpected Ally

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, Megaman will face Sigma's second form and, when things turn ugly, an unexpected ally shows his face. Apparently, I've cleared up everything, but I double-checked just to make sure. The only things I came up with is where Axl came from, when Sigma was revived, and who the identity of the mysterious stranger who was seen with Axle the Red and Sigma. Anyways, I'll answer them both and all will be fine. Anyways, believe it or not, here's chapter fifty! Fifty for crying out stinking loud!

Chapter L

Fortress Level 4

An Unexpected Ally

Megaman lowered his head in thought and Sigma crossed his arms. Then, Megaman looked up and continued glaring at him. "Just a few things. First, where did Axl come from?" Sigma frowned. "I think that's obvious. He just made a stealthy escape." He was revived by Metal Shark Player too? This is madness… "Next, when were you revived?" Sigma smirked. "To be completely hones, by the time Metal Shark Player attacked you, I'd been around for weeks. I was revived around the time you returned to Elysium!"

The very thought of what he could have done while he was gone sickened him and Megaman clenched his fists. "Okay, who is the Maverick Metal Shark Player regrets reviving?" A benevolent smirk crossed Sigma's lips. "I'll tell you this. It isn't me." Megaman started. "What?" Sigma chuckled evilly. "Would you believe Zero?"

The carbons and Megaman all gasped and Sigma laughed lightly. "I told him of my encounter with him while I was the commander of the Mavericks. From then on, Metal Shark Player tried not to do it, but my virus caused him to do otherwise." Megaman growled at this as Sigma continued to laugh at him. "It was also I that rerouted the renitialization of Godkarmachine." Megaman started again. "Sometimes, I think I've seen it all. Then you come up with something worse."

Sigma raised his hand and a series of green lights spiraled around it, forming the shape of a green broadsword similar to Sigma Blade. "I concur, X. But the time for talk is over. Now is the time to form your grave!" The broadsword was formed and he swung it to his left shoulder.

(A.N. I've noticed that Maq's Hunter Hideout has removed its' MP3 section, but Protoman Dot Com still has its' music. So go there for actual music clips. It's in Group 4 if I remember correctly.)

He swung the broadsword back to his other side, stepped forward, and raised his hand a purple fireball appeared in it. "Bring it on!" He clenched his fist, puffing the fire out, then floated up slightly and disappeared in a light white ball of energy. A similar ball appeared further away and Sigma reappeared. He held his hand forward and Megaman shifted to the Falcon Armor.

"Ha." He fired four large rings of energy that spun slowly as they closed in on Megaman. However, Megaman took flight and easily flew over them. Then, he managed a saber slash before Sigma raised the broadsword and disappeared again. He reappeared above Megaman and he swung the blade down to the ground, where Megaman used a Giga Attack.

Sigma reappeared farther from Megaman, where he fired three barrages of four rings. Megaman easily flew through these even though they where on different levels. Then, Sigma disappeared as he swung the blade again. Megaman used a fully-charged shot and converted the energy into two three-hit saber combos. This knocked Sigma back before he disappeared again. Megaman shifted to the Incarus Armor before gaining a quick fully-charged shot.

Once Sigma returned, he fired the three-way shot and slashed Sigma thrice with both sabers before backing off. Sigma disappeared, reappeared, and swung the broadsword downward before being hit with another fully-charged shot. This caused him to disappear again, but he didn't come back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Megaman X8 (PS2) - True Sigma Battle stops playing)

Megaman stepped backwards and began charging again, but dispersed it when Sigma didn't return. The carbons became uneasy and looked around as Megaman did the same. "Where'd he go?" Teasel began sweating lightly when something fell to the ground behind them. They spun around just as Megaman raised his hands to his head. His hands didn't make it to his head, but it grabbed something. Roll turned around and screamed when Megaman began to be lifted off the ground by an unseen force. The carbons spun back around just as Sigma reappeared, clutching Megaman's head.

"This has been truly fascinating, hunter. But the time has come to finish you once and for all! Any last words?" Megaman's muffled words here barely heard by the carbons. "I'll… Never give in… To you…" Sigma shrugged. "Very well." He clenched harder and smirked evilly. "Farewell, X!" Suddenly, a large voice rang out that caused everyone to wince. "PUT HIM DOWN!"

Sigma looked over at a very steamed Tron. "I suggest that you, if you aren't willing to die too, stay out of this!" Tron grew angrier. "NO! It's about damn time that us 'carbons' stood up for ourselves! Besides, you're nothing but a butt ugly machine! Emphasis on butt!" This pissed Sigma off beyond belief. "I said be…" Suddenly, a large buster shot broke Sigma's grip and Megaman fell to the ground. After he choked to regain his breath, everyone turned to the mystery assailant and Megaman started. "There's no way!"

(A.N. Yes, there is way. Oh, and one more thing: gotcha again RandyPandy.)

(Megaman X5 (Playstation) - Dynamo theme begins playing)

The white-haired mercenary stood on the ice hill on the other side of the clearing, buster smoking. "I believe she said let him go." He jumped up, landed on Sigma's shoulder, spun around, knocking him to the ground, and landed next to Megaman. "Wondering why I'm here? Allow me to put it in the simplest way possible. You're a backstabbing piece of shit. As Sigma stood up, Dynamo raised his buster at him.

"I get the space colony Eurasia close enough to Terra for you to execute your plan and what do you do? You forget about me and leave me for the hunters to pick off. I don't think so! Ready yourself, Sigma! Me and Trigger are about to kick your ugly ass-chin face all over this island!" As Megaman stood up, he turned to face Dynamo. "Thanks Dynamo." Then he beamed off as the mercenary lowered his buster. "My pleasure." Sigma, who was enraged now, swung his broadsword and glared at him. "So be it! I'll kill the both of you!"

Active Member - Dynamo

(Megaman X5 (Playstation) - Dynamo Theme fades out)

(Megaman X8 (PS2) - True Sigma Battle resumes playing)

Dynamo drew his saber and activated one side. Then, he dashed towards Sigma just as he floated up. Before he disappeared, Dynamo spun the saber after activating both sides without charging. This knocked Sigma backwards, then he disappeared. He reappeared behind Dynamo and he shot two lasers out of his eyes. Dynamo easily dodged these and he used his Giga Attack.

(A.N. It should be noted that Squaresoft, the creators of Kingdom Hearts, has credit for creating this attack. In plainer terms, it's not mine.)

Giga Attack

Strike Raid

Time froze as Dynamo activated one side of his saber. "Take this!" He hurled the saber at Sigma and it tore through him. Then, using a copy, he hurled that through Sigma, followed by two more copies. Then, he caught the returning saber and he reached back a ways before hurling it as fast as he could. It reappeared in his hands and, when time resumed, Sigma was knocked backwards. Afterwards, Sigma began glowing with orange flames as he swung his arm. "You're weak!"

(Sigma's Health)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, Sigma disappeared and reappeared above everyone. He swung the broadsword down, but this time, a small wave broke from the tip. Dynamo also easily dodged this. Then, he smirked a mischievous smirk. He just stopped moving, causing Sigma to lunge forward. Dynamo made no attempt to stop it because Banner threw a hunk of ice at his head. "Tron's right! We should make a stand for ourselves for once!" Tron smirked as Sigma turned around and pointed the broadsword at them. "Hey! Assface!" Sigma spun the blade around and fired several narrow trails of green light. However, Dynamo easily dodged these and said, "Gigadrive activate!" Dynamo instantly began glowing a faint white and, oddly enough, used two Giga Attacks in a row.

Double Giga Attack

Strike Raid

Dynamo Lasers

Dynamo placed his saber in its' holder before opening his fists. They began glowing with blue and green energy as he reached back. "It's over." He slammed his fist into the ground, creating a large vertical laser. Then, he smashed his other fist, then his first fist again before the attack ended. When time resumed, Sigma was knocked skyward, then came crashing to the ground.

(Sigma's Health)

----------------------------------------------------------

Dynamo lost his whitish glow after this. For those of you who haven't played Megaman X6, Gigadrive is a part allowing its' user to use infinite Giga Attacks for an extremely small amount of time. Anyways, Sigma got ticked and did his vanishing trick before swinging his blade down not once, but twice, creating two small bursts of energy. Then, adding a new move to his assortment, he flew backwards and floated in midair. Then, as he began glowing with crimson energy, he made an odd strained noise before he fired a large blast of energy forward.

Dynamo double-jumped, then shot into the air using his saber as a helicopter. On the descent, Dynamo gave Sigma a pretty bad slash down his face. Then, Dynamo drew his saber and actually began charging. When Sigma landed, Dynamo unleashed a powerful three-hit combo with his spiraling saber, both sides active.

Suddenly, Dynamo beamed off. "Megaman! Get your butt in here!" Megaman beamed down in the Shadow Armor and drew the sabers. By quickly slamming the bottoms of them together, he created his own double saber.

Active Member - Megaman Trigger

He got a fully-charged shot ready and dodged a vertical laser from Sigma. Then, he dashed for and spun the sabers as hard as he could. The one charged saber was powerful enough, but with two of them, this really did some nice damage. After two full rotations were made, Dynamo beamed down, Megaman grabbed the sabers, and Double Attack was activated.

Execute Shadow Armor Megaman/ Dynamo Giga Attack

Dynamo whipped his saber out and spun it in front of himself. Then, as Megaman began his assault, Dynamo slammed his fist into it. Due to the energy pulsating around it, this caused a huge laser to fire for about three seconds. Dynamo finished the assault off by slashing him once and beaming off again. Then, before Sigma could react, Megaman fired two spiked buster shots at him.

(Near Death Attack - Ars Arcanum)

(A.N. I didn't make this move. I actually swiped it from Kingdom Hearts again.)

Megaman quickly shifted to the Blade Armor only to have Sigma start glowing white. "It's OVER!" He struck Megaman so hard that he flew into the air. Then, to the horror of the carbons and nearby Dynamo, Sigma jumped up and slashed Megaman fifteen different times with the broadsword before Megaman even hit the ground. This completely destroyed the armor and Megaman could barely stand. "Sub Tank activate." Oddly enough, nothing happened. "What the… Sub Tank activate!"

Sigma smirked and began walking forward. "Having trouble, hunter?" Dynamo beamed down and sliced Sigma across the chest. "Yeah! He's got to look at your ugly mug!" Taking this opportunity, Megaman checked what was wrong. "He's created a lock!" Dynamo looked behind him. "What?" Megaman looked up. "He's created a lock. I can't use Sub Tanks unless the battle ends!" Dynamo cursed Sigma and stood erect, holding the saber in the air. "Then I'll finish this. Powerdrive activate!"

Dynamo's saber began glowing white and it even doubled in size. He swung it to his side and, running with both hands on the handle, ran towards Sigma. He dodged by floating away and charging another blast, making the same noise. Megaman shifted to the Shadow Armor again as Dynamo reached Sigma and swung the blade in the air. Once grounded, Dynamo proceeded to pelt Sigma with a series of powerful one-hit slashes. Once the saber lost it's glow, major damage had been done.

(Near Death Attack 2 - Energy Barrage)

Sigma floated just out of reach before charging the crimson shot again. But this time, he began to pelt Dynamo with large blasts of energy that moved surprisingly fast. However, one thing knocked Sigma out of this attack. Do you know what it was? If you guess a barrage of ice chunks from the carbons, you're right. "DAMN IT, CARBONS! YOU'RE A PATHETIC RACE THAT I'LL BE HAPPY TO ERADICATE!" This is when Megaman jumped up and slash Sigma with the spinning fully-charged sabers. This finished him off and knocked Sigma to the ground.

(Sigma's Health)

None

(Megaman X8 (PS2) - True Sigma Battle fades out)

Megaman landed as Sigma hunched forward while weakly holding onto the broadsword. "How could I lose… To a hunter… As worthless… As you… This… isn't… Hrgh!" Sigma then began to explode. "Gah! Ah!" Sigma's body bounced due to the explosions, but one of the bigger ones knocked Sigma off his feet, causing him to float in air. That was, of course, until his chest was through forward. "AAAAHHHH!"

Megaman and Dynamo raised their hands to shield themselves from the explosion of Sigma. Almost immediately after, several of the carbons began applauding and cheering. That's when Megaman held a hand up. "I know Sigma too well. It's not over yet." Teasel looked around nervously before nudging his left arm. He lightly whispered to Tron, 'Tron. I can't feel my arm!" Tron looked sternly at him. "It's just numb. I'm the same way. Just suck it up!" Before Teasel could continue complaining, the arena was shrouded in an unusually warm darkness. Out of this, Sigma's head appeared.

"Hehehe… You know me well, hunter. But I've prepared for this. Centuries ago, I left a little something here. That little something will be the key to my success and your downfall!" Dynamo snorted. "Yeah right!" The scarf which was still attached to Megaman's neck blew behind him in the slight breeze of Forbidden Island. "You are not one to be talking, mercenary. You will also share the same fate!" Dynamo shrugged. "Typical evil villain ploy. I'm sick of it, so prove to me that this 'little thing' exists and I'll consider a surrender." Sigma smiled evilly. "Very well."

That's when Megaman stepped forward. "Why is it that every time we destroy you, all that's left is the head?" hat's when Dynamo and the carbons realized that the head was floating, all that remained of Sigma. "That's one thing you'll die before finding out. But now isn't the time to talk, Megaman Trigger. Now is the time to fell true suffering!"

(Megaman X (SNES) - Sigma Reforms plays)

Sigma's head floated up a few feet, then floated backwards and out of view. Upon Sigma's disappearance, a huge crash was heard and the entire island shook violently. "What on earth was that?" Before anyone could answer Teasel, it repeated itself. Then, the space on both the left and right of Megaman and Dynamo, along with the space directly in front of them, suddenly blew apart. After one more crash followed, a large explosion rang out in front of everyone. Then, the darkness faded.

The first thing that many carbons did when they saw the spectacle awaiting them was scream. In Teasel's case, he tripped over his own feet trying to run for it. "WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL IS THAT THING!" Megaman and Dynamo also stepped backwards. A large body, one of which had no hands, feet, or arms, sat in front of them. The ice wall surrounding the arena had been blown away and the large body sat several yards in front of them.

It was heavily armored on the chest and had to spikes where its' arms would've been, much like Juno. Instead of feet or treads, it looked like the body was secured tightly to the icy ground. Two large shoulders guarded the single object that sat between them: Sigma's head. Two large hands came down and floated in front of the points below Sigma's new shoulders. "It's… It's… It's his Kaiser Body!" Sigma began laughing in a maniacal tone, but of a deeper tone. "Now, hunter! Come and suffer the wrath of a true Maverick!"

In case you're wondering, this is the Kaiser Body from (if I remember correctly) Megaman X1. Anyways, the next chapter will be the first installment of this fanfic's two double-parters. In it, Megaman and Dynamo face off with the pumped-up Sigma and the fate of the carbons takes a turn for the worst. Until then, Read and Review 'cause I don't have much further to go! -sigh- It seems like only yesterday I was posting chapter twelve. My, how time flies.
