(Back up a little bit before Megaman committed suicide to temporarily deactivate Dr. Wily)

Dr. Wily: "You're far too weak Megaman! Far too weak against my advanced form! In fact, I'm the STRONGEST ROBOT I EVER MADE! YOU DARED TO STEP TO ME!? WELL NOW YOU SEE, THAT I CAN'T POSSIBLY BE BEAT! WHO NEEDS BASS, WHEN I ALONE CAN ERASE, YOU STUPID DISGRACE!.!.!"

(That yell echoed throughout the castle. Who needs Bass?... Bass was on the outskirts of the castle, waiting for Megaman to get blown up. Then he heard that, and went back in.)

Bass: "Who dares think another robot is stronger than I? Looks like they need to be taught a lesson!"

(Bass made his way to the center of the underground laboratory.)

Dr. Wily: "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! LOOKS LIKE I NEVER NEEDED BASS AFTER ALL! I'LL PUT THAT PIECE OF SCRAP IN THE JUNKYARD AFTER I'M DONE WITH YOU!"

(Bass was awe amazed when he heard this.)

Bass: "You... You BETRAYED ME! Wily!... You said I was your strongest robot! You said-... You said I would destroy Megaman!"

(Bass flashed back to earlier in the story, Chapter 8)

Flashback: Megaman: "I SAW THE BLUE PRINTS FOR PROJECT ZERO, DOCTOR WILY WAS PLANNING ON REPLACING YOU WITH A MORE POWERFUL ROBOT BY CORRECTING YOUR FLAWS! HE WAS BASICALLY PLANNING ON MAKING BASS 2.0! YOU WERE LIKE DUST IN WILY'S EYES! WHY DOESN'T THAT ANGER YOU!? THOSE WEAPONS HE WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU MUST'VE BEEN A TEST RUN BEFORE HE SCRAPPED YOU! WHY DON'T YOU SEE THAT!?"

Bass: "IT'S ALL PART OF NATURAL SELECTION YOU IDIOT! UNTIL THE STRONGEST ROBOT IS MADE, THE REST ARE DOOMED TO FIGHT EACHOTHER UNTIL ONE REMAINS! WILY KNEW I WAS THE STRONGEST AND WAS ONLY BUILDING SCRAP ROBOTS FOR ME TO PRACTICE WITH!"

...

...

Megaman: "Bass. Why can't you see Wily, even after death is stealing your soul?... It doesn't have to be like this! You don't need to have a corrupt father. Light could be your father. You could be my brother. WE COULD BE YOUR FAMILY!"

Bass: "I'll never join you or your side. As soon as we get project Zero, YOU'RE DEAD!"

(Bass turns around and walks back inside. Megaman looks down thinking about how life would be different if Bass would just change.)

Megaman: "Bass... Why can't you just turn your life around?..."

...

...

(End of flashback)

Bass: "Megaman... You... you were the... THE ONLY ONE WHO CARED ABOUT ME!.!.! I BETRAYED YOU, AND PUT THAT STUPID CHIP IN YOU! I HAVE TO SAVE MEGAMAN FROM DOCTOR WILY!"

(Bass attempted to get in the door, but it wouldn't budge! Bass then tried shooting it multiple times, and was able to dent it! But then, Bass's arms froze up, and he became unable to move!)

Bass: "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!? TREBLE, BREAK DOWN THE DOOR!"

(Treble came rushing in, and froze at the front of the door.)

Bass: "WHAT'S WRONG!? I SAID BREAK IT DOWN!"

(Sigma began slowly walking up behind Bass)

Sigma: "HEHEHEHEHEHE! Bass, did you think you could disobey our master?"

Bass: "YOU!"

(Bass tried to turn around and shoot him, but then Bass's forehead crystal began to shine bright yellow! Bass got a splitting headache, like swords and knives were slicing his head into pieces!)

Bass: "GU-UAGH... UUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!"

(Bass grabbed his head and fell to the ground. An image of Dr. Wily appeared in front of him!)

Dr. Wily: "Bass!... You think you can go up against your master? I always knew you would one day betray me! I put this chip inside you to control you so you never get more powerful than me! This is a pre recorded message, used to keep you under control!"

Bass: "Y-Y-YO-O-OU-U-U!.!"

(Sigma picked up Bass by his throat.)

Bass: "TREBLE H-HEL-LP!.!.!"

(Treble growled at Bass!)

Sigma: "GEHEHEHE! Treble is under MY control now!"

Bass: "NOT MY DOG! HOW ARE Y-YOU ALIVE!?"

Sigma: "I'm a virus you idiot! Viruses cannot die! Not unless you destroy every single vessel they occupy! And there's LOADS of robots around here for me to thrive in!"

Bass: "YOU PIECE OF SCRAP!"

Sigma: "I think that applies to you more, I'm carrying out Wily's orders, unlike you. TO GET RID OF THOSE WHO WON'T OBEY HIM!"

(Wily screamed from the inside of the fight)

Dr. Wily: "These powers were prototypes I gave to Bass to test them out!"

Flashback: Megaman: "THOSE WEAPONS HE WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU MUST'VE BEEN A TEST RUN BEFORE HE SCRAPPED YOU! WHY DON'T YOU SEE THAT!?"

(End of flashback)

Bass: "It was true..."

(Sigma threw Bass against the wall, and Treble bit his buster arm to keep him from using it. Sigma took out his plasma sword to kill him!)

Sigma: "Just like Megaman, you will be defeated!"

(Bass kicked Sigma's leg, making him fall over backwards, and drop his sword. Bass grabbed the sword and cut Treble in half!)

Bass: "Sorry Treble! I couldn't save you."

(Bass blasted Sigma multiple times, then used Rush's spring powers to jump above the laboratory. Bass used the sword to seal the exit, preventing Sigma from getting to him.)

Dr. Wily: "Who's gonna stop me? You? GWAHAHAHAHA! Zero? He's dead! Protoman? He fled after learning his fate! The rest of your family is dead!"

Bass: "I'LL STOP YOU!"

(Then Bass's head was electrocuted again!)

Bass: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

(Bass fell to the ground powerless to do anything!)

Megaman: "I'M GONNA DO WHAT I SHOULD'VE DONE YEARS AGO! THIS TIME I WILL NOT HESITATE TO PULL THE TRIGGER! DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE WILYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!"

Bass: "GET HIM-... FOR... ME!"

(Megaman pulled the trigger, but purple electricity came out and electrocuted him!)

Megaman: "WHA-!? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!? GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" (Megaman grabbed his head and fell to the ground in pain.)

Bass: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!.!.!.!"

Dr. Wily: "The virus is named the Maverick Virus! But ever since I made Sigma as a body for it, I decided to change the name of Light's corrupted virus to the Sigma Virus!"

(A W symbol started to appear in Megaman's head)

Megaman: "HOW DID YOU INFECT ME!?"

Dr. Wily: "Bass put a chip inside you! Did he not? That wasn't a self destruct chip, that was a little thing that I call, the Mark of the Beast containing the Sigma Virus! My... Friend... is working on a way to get it inside humans. Not that it matters anymore! You're done!"

Bass: "It's... It's was me... I did this!... Megaman... IT'S MY FAULT! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO HIM, I SHOULDN'T HAVE FOUGHT HIM, I SHOULD'VE TRUSTED HIM! I'M A MONSTER! I'M THE WORST, MOST EVIL ROBOT THAT EVER EXISTED! HOW COULD I KILL THE ONLY ROBOT THAT EVER CARED ABOUT ME!?"

Dr. Wily: "Suicide? PUH! That will only stop the virus inside YOU what about me? THAT WILL GET YOU OUT OF MY HAIR FOR GOOD!"

Megaman: "I have a nuclear bomb inside me. If it explodes it will take you out with it!"

Dr. Wily: "YEAH SURE Y-... NO! NO YOU CAN'T! ARE YOU CRAZY!?"

Megaman: "It will kill you, and save the future!"

Bass: "NO MEGAMAN, NOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS IS ALL MY FAUUUUUUUUULT!"

(Bass tried his hardest to move, but the power Wily had over him kept him from moving.)

Megaman: "I believe another hero will rise to stop you, in my place!"

(Megaman started charging his buster)

Dr. Wily: "YOU IDIOT! I'LL BE BACK! I'LL COME BACK! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!"

Megaman: "Here's to the last charge shot, I'll ever shoot... Dad... I'm sorry I couldn't come home... Please forgive me... Dad... Thank you for being my father... I'm sorry I broke my promise... don't be mad at me... Dad?... ... ..."

Bass: "MEGAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!"

*BANG!*

(The explosion was so violent, it took out the entire laboratory, and everything surrounding it, within 100 miles. Everything, and anything inside or around, was completely obliterated. Bass's vision immediately went black, and he fainted... Where the explosion blew him to, was unknown. The Sigma virus was also obliterated, temporarily. Gone, for a hundred years. Dr. Light saw the explosion from his house, and went to check for the signal of Megaman. It was gone.)

Dr. Light: "Megaman! Megaman! My son! My only remaining son... NO! NOT ROCK! NOT HIM!"

(Dr. Light got his materials, got in his car, and drove as fast as possible to get to Wily's laboratory. When he got there, he got out, and saw junk, scattered everywhere.)

Dr. Light: "WHERE'S ROCK!? WHERE'S MY SON!?"

(Dr. Light scoured through the debris and rubble, desperately looking for Megaman's body.)

Dr. Light: "ROCK PLEASE BE ALIVE! PLEASE IF YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE ANSWER ME!"

(At the very end of it, he found bits and pieces of blue metal, scattered everywhere, with 3 parts forming together to make a helmet.)

Dr. Light: "ROCK! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!"

(Dr. Light sat down on the ground, and sobbed for Megaman. He gathered all the pieces he could find, and put them in a sack. Dr. Light held the sack close to him.)

Dr. Light: "Megaman... my boy... Why? Why did it have to end like this? I wanted a robot that would never die, so I wouldn't have to die alone... Now everyone I ever knew is dead... I told him to come back to me!... The world is safe, but what about me? What about Rock? My son?... is gone!"

(Dr. Light sat on the ground for an hour, thinking about Megaman. He got up, and took the pieces to his car. When he got home, he took all the pieces inside the bag, and dumped them onto a table, looking at them, trying to put them back together. He used a soldering iron to melt them back together.)

Dr. Light: "Rock... Please... WAKE UP!"

(No answer.)

Dr. Light: "Son... Just tell me goodbye... Just say goodbye..."

(Nothing. Dr. Light went out of the room, and got an album, of pictures of his family. He started looking through the various pictures of times they've been together. Dr. Light started sobbing uncontrollably, and hugged the pictures.)

Dr. Light: "MY BOY!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!"

(Dr. Light put his head down, next to the body that was soldered back together, and fell asleep, hugging Megaman's broken body. When he woke up, Dr. Light, went into his shack, and got all the bodies. Roll, Auto, Tempo, Eddie, Rush, Beat, and Tango.)

...

...

...

(Dr. Light picked up the bodies one by one, and started breaking them out of anger! Ripping their pieces to shreds)

Dr. Light: "If I can't have Rock back, I'll use his body to re make a new one! A new Megaman, this time stronger than ever! A Megaman that can live on in cyberspace, even after he dies! A Megaman that never dies! I'll melt him down, melt all his metal down, to make another robot!"

(Dr. Light got out a giant pot, and fire, threw all the parts inside of Megaman, and turned it on full power.)

Dr. Light: "I'll combine the metals from Rush, Eddie, Beat, and Tango to make sure he NEVER gets beat again!"

(Dr. Light crushed the bodies of Rush, Eddie, Beat, and Tango, all into the molten metal. He then grabbed Roll's body and stopped.)

Dr. Light: "... ... I'll remake you too!"

(Dr. Light got out 2 more pots, and threw Roll's body, and Auto's body inside them. Afterwards, when the metal was all melted down, Dr. Light started working on the motherboard of his new creation, using the melted metal, of Megaman, Rush, Beat, Eddie, and Tango.)

Dr. Light: "This new robot, has the abilities of my son, and all his pets! This new robot will have the power of all them! He will have the power to learn, and grow as he fights! A limitless potential robot, to be SURE he is never defeated again! Therefore, I will call him Megaman X! X is a variable, meaning limitless potential! He will never die again! I'll call the robot I make out of Roll's body, Alia! And out of Auto's I will call Douglas! I'll re make their personalities, and I'm gonna make them ALL VIRUS PROOF!"

...

...

*10 years later*

(Bass woke up, inside a junkyard. It was only a few miles from Dr. Light's house. Dr. Light never came out of his house since the time Megaman died. Bass got up and walked over to his house. Dr. Light was replaying memories of Megaman.)

(Chapter 8)

Megaman: "You could be a hero saving people out of a good heart but you're only doing it for yourself! Why!?"

Bass: "Because I only care for myself! I fight for myself! Myself and myself alone! Now get on with it! Where's Wily's body? Did you lose it?"

...

Bass: "I never listened to him... He only cared about me..."

...

(Chapter 14)

Megaman: "Bass!... You... You're a... hero! Not a villain!"

Bass: "BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!.!.! NICE JOKE DUMMY!"

...

Bass: "If it weren't for me, he'd still be alive..."

...

(Bass kept shooting him, Megaman powerless to do anything to stop him. Bass finally drained him to one last bar. Bass stopped and looked in a small bag Megaman was carrying.)

Bass: "What's this piece of junk!?"

Megaman: "It's... a... cape... I bought it... for you... Because... this isn't you..."

Bass: "Aaaaaw how sweet. I think I'll wear it as I FINISH YOU OFF!"

(Bass put on the cape and mocked him.)

Bass: "GWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!.!.!.! a dumb cape!? DID YOU THINK THIS WOULD MAKE ME FEEL SORRY FOR YOU!?..."

...

...

(End of memory. Dr. Light went and played more, but Bass squinted his eyes, out of anger, and regret. Bass was still wearing the cape. He started breathing heavily, and ran away.)

Bass: "I DON'T DESERVE THIS! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! WHY DID YOU CALL ME A HERO!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, ARE YOU BLIND OR SOMETHING, MEGAMAN!?"

(Bass screamed into the wind, knowing there would be no answer.)

Bass: "YOU'RE THE DUMBEST, MOST NAIVE PIECE OF TRASH I EVER KNEW! IF YOU WEREN'T SO STUPID TO TRUST A MONSTER LIKE ME, YOU'D STILL BE ALIVE!..."

(Bass's cape began to flow in the wind.)

Bass: "CAPES ARE FOR HEROS, MEGAMAN! NOT FOR TRASH LIKE ME! NOT FOR A LOW DOWN NOTHING LIKE ME! NOT FOR AN ANTI BROKEN HERO LIKE ME!"

(Bass grabbed his cape, and began ripping it into multiple shreds. It started looking like hair, instead of a cape.)

Bass: "THIS IS WHAT IT SOULD LOOK LIKE! A BROKEN, TORN, CORRUPTED, ANTI CAPE, FOR A BROKEN, TORN, CORRUPTED, ANTI HERO! 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I AM!"

(Bass hit his self in the head and broke his frails into multiple pieces. He took his metal plate off his chest and threw it against the ground and stomped on it, however, that revealed 2 green power orbs on his chest.)

Bass: "I AM THE WORST PIECE OF NOTHING, YOU'VE EVER SEEN! WHY DID YOU TRUST ME!? YOU TOLD ME WILY STOLE MY SOUL, I NEVER LISTENED! I JUST SAID GET LOST! YET YOU PERSISTED ON AND ON, GIVING ME THIS GRACE I DIDN'T DESERVE! NOW LOOK WHERE IT GOT YOU! YOU GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO TURN MY LIFE AROUND, AND I TURNED IT DOWN! YOU OFFERED A FAMILY, AND I SAID NO! YOU ARE DEAD, BECAUSE OF ME! YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO CARED ABOUT ME, AND NOW YOURE DEAD! AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT! I KILLED MY ONLY FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD!"

(Bass put his head in his hands, revealing 2 green power orbs on his chest, Wily put there after his upgrades.)

Bass: "How could you call me a HERO? A HERO doesn't kill his friends! I'M NO HERO! I'M A MONSTER, I AM NOTHING, I AM SCRAP, I AM ZEEEEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOOOOOO! ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO!.!.!.!.!.! AND I'LL ALWAYS BE ZEEEEEEERRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOO!.!.!.!.!.!"

(Zero began beating the ground in sadness, and anger at what he did to Megaman.)

Zero: "THAT'S ALL I'LL EVER BE IS A BIG FAT LOSER ZERO! DON'T EVER CALL ME BASS AGAIN, I'M ZERO, BECAUSE I MURDERED MY BEST FRIEND! I MURDERED THE ONLY ONE WHO CARED ABOUT ME!..."

(Zero turned around and looked at the lab. He saw a blue robot inside of it, Megaman X.)

Zero: "I don't know... if that will be you Megaman. But I promise... Whether you or a brother of yours... I will protect you, or him, forever. I'll never let anyone hurt you again Megaman! Not because I'm a hero! I'll never be a hero!... My name is Zero!... After all this time, my only goal was to murder you Megaman... Now, I finally beat you... you're finally gone... yet,... I'm even worse off than before... You're right Megaman... What am I fighting for?..."

(THE END.)

1) Did Zero really "kill" the family between the events of the Classic Mega Man and X series?

keiji inafune: "No, Zero did not kill them. According to the way I created him, Zero is not such a person-it is not in his profile"

I tried and tried to think of an alternative to where Zero came from. If it's not in his profile, then that means Zero was never like this to begin with. Bass is the only one I could think of to fit that description. Wily upgrades Bass in Megaman 9 in the background of the final level, as an Easter egg, and he's never seen again. Therefore, he must still be getting the upgrade. In Megaman and Bass, Bass has a double jump, just like Zero, and a dash. Bass also has an armor strikingly similar to Zero's bat wing armor in Megaman X command mission. Bass is also told "What are you fighting for" at the end of Megaman and Bass 1 by Protoman. Zero is also angered in Megaman Zero 4 when Dr. Weil calls him a Hero. This is the only thing I could think of, that Zero is Bass. This is the only thing that fits Keji's description.

Well, what did y'all think? I was thinking of making a Megaman X9 story to explain what happens to Dr. Wily in the Megaman X games, along with Megaman ZX3. What do y'all think? Please leave a reply! This is the last chapter of the story, so please tell me what you think!
