Megaman Excel

Disclaimer: I own the storyline. I own some attacks. Aside from that, I don't own squat.
In this chapter, Megaman squares off with the not-so-friendly Double and Tron makes a mistake she soon regrets. It should be noted that I'm basing this chapter on the first time I fought Double. I swear on my life that it looked like he was moving as fast as I'm making him. Anyways, here's chapter fifty-four!
Chapter LIV
Post-Final Boss
Double Trouble
Everyone turned to a short, tubby little man that stood in the center of the arena. His body was covered in bright yellow armor and a single pipe ran in front of his face as part of his helmet. Megaman removed his arms from Roll and Dynamo's shoulders and actually walked towards him a few paces before Double smirked. "I'd consider you a threat to society if anything." Double scoffed and waved his hand. "Don't tell me you still hold a grudge against me." He began walking towards the hunter as he slid down the slight incline of ice.
"It's beyond that. I want nothing to do with you. You gained my trust, then backstabbed me when I needed it the least." Double stopped not too far away from the carbons and even closer to Megaman. "Backstab you? Well, it sounds a bit too literal, but I'd have to agree with you." Megaman glared at him, then turned to leave. "I don't have time for this." Double smirked evilly. "Fine with me. Run away like the coward you…" -CRACK-
Before anyone knew what happened, Double suddenly found himself looking to his right with a huge handprint on the side of his face. A very pissed-off Tron held her hand ready for a follow-up. "How dare you!" Double turned to look at her as he held a hand to his face. Megaman, who'd nearly walked past Teasel, seemed just as surprised as her brother was at this sudden turn of events. Without looking, Tron turned her hand and pointed at Megaman.
"He's just gone through a week of struggling to remember his past, dealing with pricks like you, and taking out some ancient psycho bent on world destruction. On top of that, he sacrificed his life and revived somehow just to make sure we survived. If that's a coward, then you're not much higher than dirt, buddy!" Double stared at her before scowling and a red aura surrounded his body. "Carbon… You've just made your last mistake…"
Tron cooled down briefly in a curious state as to what Double was doing. He threw both arms in front of him while groaning, his arms changing texture. Then, he brought them together, spun around, and became a whole new being. This one caused several carbons, including Tron, to scream as he dashed forward. (The slap had knocked him backwards…) "SAY YOUR PRAYERS, CARBON!" A pinkish blade appeared from a slot above his right hand, but Megaman quickly jumped in, knocked him back, and shot a charged shot that sent him flying.
Double smirked, flipped in midair, and landed on his feet. "Not bad. For a coward." He stood to his full height and looked straight at Megaman. Tron fell backwards as Teasel ran up to her. "What where you thinking?" Tron sighed, then looked up at him before standing up. "How was I supposed to know that he'd transform into this?"
Unlike before, this form looked much more sinister. Likewise, his voice was more sinister. His body was still covered in yellow armor, but his shoulders spiked out like Axle the Red's. His eyes were blood red and he had small pupils and irises in them. A small part of light yellow armor was fitted on his lower waist and the rest of his legs and chest were made up of some kind of pink jelly-like substance. A small device floated in his lower torso and another blade emerged from Double's left hand slot.
"You maintain your reputation as an S-class hunter, X. But your one fatal flaw is your naiveness. I told you this centuries ago and you've still yet to learn better." Megaman glared at Double. "You betrayed both me and my trust, Double. I think I've learned better just from the experiences with you." Double smirked. "I've touched. I truly am. But you still don't know better. But that doesn't matter. You see, recently I've learned of my own special 'talent'. I'm proud to state that I'm the world's most frequently attacking Maverick." Megaman scoffed. "Not something I'd choose to be proud of."
Teasel scratched his arm, then lifted his sleeve slightly. Oh my God! This arm is killing… He noticed something odd and nudged Tron, whispering in her ear. "Tron, is slight discoloration of the skin normal for this weather?" He showed her a patch of greenish skin on his arm and she gaped at it. "Oh my…" Teasel grimaced, lowered his sleeve, turned back to Megaman, and gripped his arm. "I was afraid of that…" Back in the arena, Double smiled evilly and raised one hand to his face. "This is the end of the line for you, X. I've been waiting for this."

"Hahahahaha! I'm so anxious to rip you apart!" Megaman gripped his buster and yelled, "Stay out of this, Dynamo! This is my fight!" Dynamo scoffed. "Showoff."

----------------------------------------
Almost immediately, before anyone moved an inch, Double attacked. "Destroy!" He waved his arms and two balls of spinning plasma shot towards Megaman, but stopped short. Immediately after that, he attacked again. "Unify!" He flew up to an invisible ceiling, then over to an invisible wall, then to the ground and at Megaman. "HAHAHA! I'll do what Sigma only dreamed of!" He stopped and turned to face Megaman. "Take this!" He waved his arm and three sawblades shot out of his jelly-like arm. Actually, they were blobs that formed into sawblades. Megaman easily destroyed those and hurt Double by merely releasing a fully-charged shot.
Then, Double did something new. "Unify!" He jumped in the air and dashed towards Megaman, blade drawn. Megaman turned around and easily fired off another fully-charged shot. Somehow, Megaman had lost his saber and the carbons noticed this. Anyways, Megaman continued to unleashed small charged shot upon small charged shot and after many repeated 'Unify!' attacks, the damage began building up.

---------------------------------
That's when Double changed his technique. "Hold still!" He flew into the air as his blades gave off a bright pinkish glow. Then, he dashed forward much faster than before, followed by two more dashes. Double turned around only to be kicked in the face by Megaman. He followed-up the attack with a fully-charged blast and several normal shots.
"I was Sigma's spy and you weren't much wiser than those fools I killed before they called you!" Megaman started as he remembered how, just before boarding the Final Weapon, several hunters had made an urgent call only to dismiss it once he answered. "Why you… You make me sick, Double!" The Maverick smirked and lunged forward with a blade. "I'll kill you just like I did to them."
Megaman became massively ticked as he rolled away from Double's blade and a saber crashed to the snow next to him. "The least I can do is help you like that!" Megaman nodded and picked up Dynamo's saber. Before he knew what happened, Double attacked him and the two soon began clashing blade with saber. "You're pathetic, X! Everyone in front of you told the truth, yet you didn't believe them. And you're the one with the anti-war ideals!" Megaman's eyes flared up and he knocked Double back before slashed him across the chest, converting the energy of the shot into the saber.

------------------------
Double was knocked back and he changed his technique again. "Dammit, X!" He took his blade and began to swing it at Megaman, who easily dodged many of the attacks.
(A.N. The preceding attack is mine. This is the last one of the fanfic that is mine, so I'll just keep quite for now. But, just as a heads-up, the next chapter may seem confusing to you, but it will be explained in the epilogue. Anyways, onward!)
Double was then met with a saber to the face and he peeked through his fingers as the wound began bleeding. "You will pay for this, X." He lunged forward and swung his blade upwards, just grazing his cheek. It left a burning sensation, but Megaman ignored it. Instead, he began charging another shot. Once he was finished, he converted the energy to the saber. This caused massive damage because he sliced Double from the groin up to his forehead.
Double then jumped back and waved his arm again. "Take this!" This time, miniature robots flew through the air and began dropping energy blasts on Megaman. He swiftly took it out with the saber, but was punched in the chest by Double, who followed up with a kick. The blade had cut Megaman's chest open and he slowly stood up. "Sub Tank activate!"
Sub Tanks left - 1
Double then reached his hand back. "Hold still!" He roared as he dashed forward, crashed into an invisible wall, and dashed to the opposite end of the arena. It's there that Megaman fired another fully-charged shot and dashed over before performing another saber attack.

(Near Death Attack - Nightmare Storm)
(A.N. This isn't my attack. I stole it from Digimon Rumble Arena 2. It's not a bad attack at all.)
Double dashed into the center of the arena before kneeling. "HAHAHAHAHA!" He jumped in the air and, focusing the blades on his hands, created a huge pillar of energy. This came in the form of several powerful lines created by Double slashing the air. Megaman got caught in it and was sent flying. When he landed, he was pretty beat up. "Sub Tank activate!"
Sub Tanks left - 0
Once Double ended the attack, he floated backwards and did something new. "RRRRR… GHE!" Once Double stopped grunting and released the blast, a large wave of greenish energy shot forward at a swift rate. Megaman fell onto his back and let the blast fly over him. As he got up, he was met with another one. However, Megaman countered with a dash, fully-charged saber, and several small charged shots.
Once that was done, Double knocked Megaman away and began laughing. "Do it! Finish me, X! You know you want to! So hurry up and…" Megaman did. He used a fully-charged saber shot so powerful, it threw Double backwards. Double was done for and the final battle of this fanfic had ended.

(Megaman X4 (Playstation) - Double Battle fades out)
Double weakly pulled himself to a kneeling position before looking at Megaman. "Do you think that it will remain like this? Do you think that the Mavericks will die out along with me?" Both the carbons and Megaman pondered this before Double snickered. "Of course you don't. You realize that Sigma has merely restarted the problems that plagued this planet centuries ago. Even with Elysium's power, you will not win in the end."
Megaman walked towards Double and he smirked until Megaman walked right by him. He tossed Dynamo's saber to him and continued moving as Double began exploding. "You can't escape fate any longer, X! HAHAHA… HRGH!" With that, Double exploded and the Mavericks were finished. Or were they…
You'll just have to wait and see, won't you? In the next chapter, this fanfic takes an odd turn as a new figure appears, one which could mean the destruction or salvation of Terra. Until then, Read and… Aw, hell with it. I don't need to put that. Instead, I'll leave you with this bit of random humor: I'VE GOT PORKCHOPS IN MY PANTS AND THEY FEEL GOOD!
