Megaman Excel

Disclaimer: I own the storyline. I own some attacks. Aside from that, I don't own squat.
In this chapter, this fanfic takes an odd turn as a new figure appears, one which could mean the destruction or salvation of Terra. This chapter is most likely to confuse you and if anything's going to do it, the first two words of the chapter will do that. Also, a recent review has brought to attention that the health bar, 2-D/3-D thing, and other stuff throw attention away from the actual story. Although this may be true, I'm not willing to get rid of this. For anyone. Megaman Excel is an eight-part series (You heard me. Eight.) that is supposed to be written in the format of a Megaman X game. I will continue to do that, but I'll probably enhance as I move along. Now, with that out of the way, here's chapter fifty-five!
Chapter LV
Gateway To The Future
(?'s POV)
As the excellent example of a traitor and backstabber perished, I quickly moved to where Eden's monolith now lay and turned my back to the hunter. As the flash began to dim, I began reciting a speech I'd rehearsed many times over. "Reploids. A magnificent race brought to ruin by their own brethren, one which would prefer to fight and kill instead of fighting and dying. Although we are a noble race…" The flash ceased and my form was now visible to everyone and I continued anyways.
"We are still the worst enemies to no one then ourselves. We may try to rebel against our human creators' descendents, but it will only result in our one downfall; our own. This is not what the humans intended for us. We have a much greater role in life, one which must be lived nobly if to be lived at all." I turned and looked directly at the startled face of Megaman Trigger. "Don't you agree, Trigger?" The hunter just gaped. "Gate?"
No one knew what I looked like, so I'll describe myself. I wore a mixture of white and light purple armor and had a blue crystal in my helmet, which curved down to my nose in the center of it. I also bore a large, white cape which blew behind my legs in the light breeze of the island. Aside from that, my face was firm and set, a face of one who is wise. That's about all there was to me.
Anyways, a slight smirk crossed my lips as Dynamo started and the carbons began to converse amongst themselves, trying to place my name. "It is true that we are easily overcome by certain energy, but we are still noble being. This is true for many would sacrifice themselves before being forced to kill loved ones or innocents. However, there are many more who would do just the contrary. It was the Maverick Hunters' job to fulfill this task and they have done so, as seen here tonight. By destroying Sigma, we have opened a new door for ourselves. This, my friends, is merely the beginning of our return to society." By now, I'd turned and walked up to about three feet away from Trigger and Dynamo.
The carbons had finally realized that I was the cause of the Nightmare Incident and they stayed on guard although it was unnecessary. "Even a being such as myself have fallen victim to this energy, but I tend to make up for it." Dynamo smirked uneasily. "How's that?" My smirk grew. "By doing the impossible. By rebuilding the Reploid race." Everyone other than myself started and Trigger began gaping again. "Do you know how long this would take? And look at the planet now! How are we going to do this with what we have?" I frowned slightly, but easily recovered my smirk. "I also intend to restore this planet to its' former glory and size. The Mother units on Elysium are more than willing to help. I've spoken with them personally."
Trigger withdrew his jaw as he thought about this. Then, Dynamo spoke up. "Even with Elysium's power, it would still take at least three years to finish this. And that's if every happens when it needs to happen!" I nodded, agreeing with him. "That is highly unlikely though because, even if he was a menace to society, Double did speak some truth. The threat of Mavericks is now back up that's to Metal Shark Player and Sigma. Even if we got far before they appeared, it would take very little time before the felled us again." Trigger stepped forward. "But, Metal Shark Player was you're creation."
The carbons turned to me as I crossed my arms. "As true as that is, I didn't intend for him to be a toll of Sigma's plan. Personally, looking back, I regret making him. But what's done is done and we need to move on. So let's start by getting off this island." The sun then peeked over the horizon and released many heated rays onto the island. One of the carbons, Banner I believe, laughs. "Sounds good to me. I've been freezing my ass off and I think we'll all be happy to oblige to that." Teasel sighed relieved, but still worried about something. "Then let us begin."
Upon returning to their ships, Trigger looked back at me. "Where do we begin?" I smiled. "I think we'll start on reconverting Nino Island back into the Maverick Hunters' headquarters, Giga City." He nodded and turned to climb onboard the Flutter. I waved my arm and my armor became golden and my cape became a light silver color. I floated into the air and waited as the ships took off. Then, I flew alongside the Flutter back to Nino Island where the painstaking process would begin.
(Normal POV)
Two shadowed figures stepped out from behind an ice cliff and walked over to the wreckage of Sigma. They both studied it for some time before one of them spoke.
"How long will this take?"
"Several months. If not, then a year or so."
"I've never seen his power that high before."
"That is why I've reinforced your armor. But enough of that."
"So, how goes the development of Limited?"
"It is progressing smoothly. It will still take several years, but with the evasion program I've uploaded onto it, it will be simple to complete it."
"And of the Maverick Hunters? Should we let them reform?"
"Let them do as they please. It will be irrelevant in the years to come."
One of the figures ran two fingers down the length of his beard as he chuckled to himself. "They will all perish soon enough." As he broke into an almost uncontrollable laughter, the other figure just stared into the distance, the sun gleaming off of his visor. "Just you wait, Trigger… Just you wait…"
Well, this is it. One more chapter. Confused by the thing involving Gate? I'll explain in the epilogue. As for these two guys, you'll have to wait for the sequel for that. Anyways, in the final chapter, learn what happens to the cast after a long amount of time passes and how much progress they've made. Until then, just read my stuff! I'm fine with that! I've got enough reviews that if I printed them all out, I'd have… Several sheets of paper… Oh, never mind. Just Read and Review and I'll be happy.
