Well, chapter three is doing good, I HOPE this scene came out alright. I've been Roleplaying Megaman with my cousin ALOT and whoa, does she EVER do a good Sigma. Oye, she plays him perfectly. Well, maybe he's a bit more evil than he was before, as he ripped off one of Absolute Zero's wings off(Well...both, really...), knocked him out, and reprogrammed him to the Maverick side...but anyhow! I'm getting side tracked, on with the story!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a while of riding through the Frozen Tundra, Zero sharply turned and skidded as him and Bass drove into a strange room. "Wander what this place was used f---" He started, but then the doors slammed shut and the lights, which were extremly bright, turned on.
"Zero! What's going on!" Bass asked, looking around swiftly, turning his right arm into a buster and getting it ready. He'd already stopped his Ride Chaser.
Zero growled slightly. "This has Maverick written all over it..." He hissed to himself, then looked at Bass. "Dunno, BUT, I think Sigma has something to do with this!" He said, then jumped off the Ride Chaser and got his Z-Saber out and ignited it.
"Sigma?" Bass repeated, but shook his head and climbed off the Ride Chaser. "Are we going to have to..." He started, but then one door opened up and a bald Maverick walked in, followed by a Maverick in purple armor.
"Ahh, you're finally here, Zero." The one in the front said.
"Shut up, Sigma!" Zero hissed.
"Well aren't we snappy?" Sigma asked, laughing evilly.
Zero growled some, then looked behind Sigma. "I see you brought Vile..." He muttered.
Bass darted over to take Zero's side. "I take it the front one is Sigma?" He asked quietly.
Zero nodded in response, but said nothing, keeping his eyes on Sigma and Vile.
"Ready, Vile?" Sigma asked.
Vile nodded. "Of course." He said.
Sigma nodded back, then got his scythe thing out and ready.
Zero growled slightly. "Bass...see that door over there?" He whispered, motioning to a door on the far right that had a sword like symbol above it.
Bass nodded. "Yeah, why?" He whispered back.
"Run for it. Now." Zero said quietly. "If they do as I think, then Vile will chase you, I'll take Sigma. If you can, get back to Hunter Base, and get X and Axl."
Bass nodded. "Will you be okay?" He asked, his voice in a whisper.
"I'll be fine." Zero responded. "Now go!" He said sharply, his voice raising, then he turned nad took off for a door on the other side of the room, which had a chain symbol on it. He already knew what room he was heading to. He could tell by the symbols, as he was used to seeing symbols for certain things.
Bass watched him a moment, then turned and ran for the other door, glancing back at Zero. What rooms were they going into? Or where did the doors lead? He didn't know, though he thought he would probably find out.
As Zero had thought, Vile took off after Bass, and Sigma followed after Zero swiftly.
Zero smirked some, still running, then sheathed the sword so he wouldn't have to worry about dropping it. 'Just as I thought...Mavericks are so predictable.' He thought as he ran, taking a sharp left.
"You know you can't run forever, Zero!" Sigma called.
"Oh? I'm a machine, remember? I can't run a pretty good distance without having to stop!" Zero shouted without glancing back. "Besides, you're too slow to catch me!" He added.
---With Bass and Vile---
'Man, this guy don't give up!' Bass thought, dodging the bullets that Vile shot at him. "Now to program my teleporter to..." He muttered, inserting something into the thing on his wrist. "...the Hutner Base and go back!" He added. He pressed the button that made him teleport and he vanished in a beam of purple.
"Curses that Maverick Hunter! He ran away!" Vile growled, skidding to a stop. Too bad he didn't know that Bass was neither Hunter nor Maverick...
---Hunter Base---
Bass teleported in and darted down the hall swiftly, heading back to the room where he remembered X and Axl being in. "X! Axl!" He shouted as he ran in.
Axl jumped, startled, and dropped the control from surprise. He must have really like that game...
"What is it, Bass?" X asked, looking over at Bass.
"Back at the Frozen Tundra area where me and Zero went... that Sigma guy and the smaller guy in purple armor showed up and Zero's running from Sigma! He told me to come get you for help!" Bass said quickly.
X stood up swiftly. "Did he say what he was going to do?" He asked.
Bass shook his head. "No, he just told me to come and get you and Axl, that he would be fine!"
---Back with Zero---
Zero took another sharp turn into a room without any exits. "Crap!" He growled, teeth grinding together as he skidded to a stop, barely, at the center of the room. "Dang it! No means of escape! And I'm not going to go back to Hunter Base!" He told himself, then looked back at the door as Sigma entered. "Great..." He muttered, but then perked and looked around the room, frowning after he realized it wasn't the room he thought it would be. Or he took a wrong turn somewhere. This room wasn't the prison cell area, where he was heading, but a room used for torture. What was a base in the middle of a Frozen Tundra doing with a Torture room!
"Well, looks like you're cornered, Zero." Sigma said, his tone evil. As always.
"Uh huh...what made you think that?" Zero asked sarcastically, rolling his eyes, then reached for the Z-Saber and pulling it out, igniting it and getting into a battle stance. "Well, sense there's no other means of defence...let's fight!" He said confidently.
"Fine by me." Sigma said and got his scythe ready.
Zero smirked some, then lunged at Sigma and aimed a strike at his side. Sigma swiftly stopped his attack with the blade of the scythe. Both stayed in that position for a minute or two, pushing against each other's weapon, then they both jumped back swiftly.
Zero was still smirking, and looking rather confident. 'Hope Bass gets back with the others soon, dunno if I can fight him here, I wasn't ready for this.' He thought before lunging at Sigma again.
That time, Sigma just moved back and barely avoided the tip of the Z-Saber, but then swung his scythe towards Zero's back while he couldn't turn, and embedded the blade deep in his back.
Zero let out a sharp cry of pain, wincing and nearly falling, as the blade of the scythe nearly hit his spin. "That was a dirty trick..." He growled through gritted teeth. "...but then again, you're a Maverick...Maverick's never play fair." He hissed, twitching slightly and barely keeping his grip on his Saber.
Sigma smirked, though didn't responde and turned sharply on his heel, lifting Zero up with the scythe and slamming him into the wall.
Zero yelped as he hit the wall, then growled silently. 'Hurry up, Bass!' He thought as the blade slid out of his back roughly and he fell to the floor, on his side, panting some. "This fight isn't over." He growled and stood up, making sure he still had his Z-Saber in his hand.
"Brave, as always, Zero. You will die here." Sigma said and got the scythe ready.
"Not if we have something to say about it!" A voice from behind Sigma said as an energy bullet flew at him.
"What!" Sigma turned sharply on his heel to see the bullet, bringing up his scythe just in time to block the bullet before it could hit him.
"X! Axl! Bass!" Zero said, seeing X and Bass with their busters ready, and Axl with his gun aimed at Sigma. "Finally!" He said, sounding relieved.
Sigma growled some. "I should have finished him off while I had the chance." He muttered under his breath. "I'll see you another time, Maverick Hunters!" He said before teleporting out.
Zreo sighed in relief. "He's a coward..." He muttered, falling backwards against the frozen wall behind him, but tensed up and let out a slight cry of pain as the icy wall touched his wounded back and made a pain shoot through his body.
"Zero! Are you alright!" X asked, running over to Zero.
"I'm...fine." Zero responded, squeezing his left eye shut. "Just a small scratch." He added, even though there was blood and oil forming on the ground beneath him.
"Right. Is that why you just cried out in pain as your back touched the wall AND why there is a puddle of blood and oil beneath you?" X said, shaking his head slightly.
"X! Me and Bass will go and take the Ride Chasers back to Hunter Base, so you two go on back." Axl said. Bass nodded to what Axl had said.
X looked at them, then nodded. "Alright." He said, then looked at Zero, who seemed to be a little reluctant towards this idea, and started to reprogram his teleporter - back to Hunter Base.
Axl and Bass turned and darted down the hall quickly, heading for the Ride Chasers.
Zero sigh slightly, though didn't say anything to X.
---Hunter Base---
The red and blue beams shot down as X and Zero teleported in.
"C'mon, let's get you to the medical wing." X said, putting one of Zero's arms over his shoulders, as he was having trouble standing as it was.
Zero sighed, but nodded. "Alright, alright, fine." He said.
X nodded back, then started walking, though slow so he could help Zero walk. "Zero, I don't know how you manage to get a hole in your back in a fight against Sigma when you've battled him time and again." He said.
Zero shrugged slightly as they walked, well, as X walked and he limped. "Me neither." He said.
Both of them fell silent after that, though finally came to the medical wing a bit afterwards.
"Okay, Zero, you stay here, I'm going to see if Axl and Bass are back yet." X said, helping Zero onto one of the repair tables.
"Ugh, alright. This isn't the one with the evil nurse, is it?" Zero asked.
"No, it's not, Zero, this is the place where Cinnamon works. The 'evil nurse' is on the other side of Hunter Base, anyhow." X said.
Zero nodded some. "...Alright." He said. "But if she comes, I'm gonna be up and running!" He added.
X shook his head slightly. "Yeah, right, you do that then, but try to stay on the repair table and contact me if you need me." He said, turning nad walking out of the room.
Zero glanced about the room, then tapped his fingers on the repair table he was sitting on. He was wandering what he could get into before anyone came to repair him, before X returned. "...I need a red marker!" He told himself quietly.
---
"Axl! Bass! You in here!" X called, running into the Ride Chaser room.
"Yup, just trying to get the Ride Chasers in place...ummm...we dunno how we're supposed to park Zero's, it either won't stay in one place or it keeps falling over..." Axl said, him and Bass both trying to get Zero's Ride Chaser to stand up.
X walked over. "You know, it would help to put it in park." He stated, pressing a button near the center of the handles and it seemed to jsut stay in place, instead of moving forward. "Now let go." He said, grabbing the handle as they let go, and stood it straight up. "There. See how simple that was?" He asked, releasing it, showing that it stayed standing.
Axl just kinda stared a moment. "Well mine automatically shuts off when we teleport back to Hunter Base, so..." He said.
Bass chuckled some. "I don't see how we didn't realize that." He muttered.
"Zero doesn't bother changing his setting to automatically." X said.
---Haha, back at the Nurses Office where Zero is---
Zero grinned some, holding himself up in the bathroom, infront of the mirror. He had randomly made scratches on his face now from a red marker, which he still held in his hand. "Haha, done!" He said, slipping the marker into a compartment in his armor. He turned nad limped back into the room, getting onto the repair table. Hey, who said he was gonna cooperate and not draw on his own face? Heck, he was bored with just waiting for the repair people, so he figured he should do...something.
Zero perked, hearing footsteps, then laid back, incase someone was gonna come into the room...hopefully it wouldn't be the evil nurse.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pfft, that last thing with Zero, I KNOW was not like him, BUT, I just sorta felt like doing that, as I was hyper, so...yeah. Hopefully I'll be more in character later on in the story. I'm writing anotehr Megaman Story now, so it might take me a while to update this one.
