Trouble In Paradise

Disclaimer: I do not own the Classic Megaman series, the Megaman comic series, or the Battle Network series. I like them all, but I don't own them.

In this chapter, Megaman squares off with a more powerful version of himself. This was actually one of the first battles I came up with while making this fic. So, here's chapter fifteen!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter Fifteen

Copycat

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mega Man.EXE looked exactly like Rocky, just with different armor and whatnot. Suddenly, a large shadow fell and, when it landed, it swung at Mega Man.EXE. "Beast Man!" The next thing everyone knew, Beast Man.EXE was missing a hand. So was Mega Man.EXE, but his had been replaced with a beam sword. He lunged forward and thrust the sword into Beast Man.EXE's stomach. Just before he exploded, he yelled 'To right my wrongs, I sacrifice my life in the name of justice.' He leapt up and grabbed onto Wily's spaceship before exploding. The ship was still held together, but it was seriously damaged. "Piece of scrap! He's dead now, so finish the job, Mega Man.EXE! Hahahahaha!"

Mega Man.EXE summoned a buster and began shooting large buster shots at Rocky. He countered by shooting his own. When it didn't seem to be working, he switched weapons. "Sniper Missile!" The missile hit Mega Man.EXE and he became surrounded in light. When he emerged, he had a large burner on his head and resembled Fire Man.EXE. He smashed his hands together before pointing his head at Rocky and shooting a large flame from it. Megaman began shifting through his weapons, looking for the most effective. He couldn't decide on one, so he tried one randomly. "Thunder Grapple!" The grapple bounced off of Mega Man.EXE and he looked at his chest. "Okay, next weapon. Uppercut Claw!" This attack cut Mega Man.EXE's burner in half and caused him to be surrounded in light again. When he emerged, he had a massive assortment of organic life wrapped around his body.

"Wildfire Cyclone!" As Mega Man.EXE dashed forward, the fire just knocked him back. Mega Man.EXE then began rapidly punching Rocky in the stomach before thrusting forward with ivy. Rocky jumped to his feet and thought of the next best thing. "Shimmering Tomahawk!" This attack cut off all of the plants and left Mega Man.EXE in a black body suit-type armor. He was surrounded in light again before reemerging as Tomahawk Man.EXE. Mega Man.EXE swiftly swung the blade at Rocky while he thought of a weakness. "Scarlet Wind!" Mega Man.EXE easily dashed through this and slashed Rocky in the chest. "Wildfire Cyclone!" Again, Mega Man.EXE dashed through and slashed Rocky's chest. "Thunder Grapple!" This time, Mega Man.EXE was electrified and began sparking before being surrounded in light again.

He reemerged in a yellow armor, apparently Elec Man.EXE. Thinking into the past of how things worked and what weapons he had left, he shifted to the chosen weapon just as Mega Man.EXE fired a thunder bolt from his fingers. "Terror Flash!" This knocked the bolt into nothing and it also hurt Mega Man.EXE. The light returned and Mega Man.EXE emerged as Beast Man.EXE. He swung his hands and two large claws appeared. None of the remaining weapons did much, so he went with the most understandable. As Mega Man.EXE flew into the air and lunged at him, Rocky used Sniper Missile. He was hurt by the attack, but the missile looped around and nailed Mega Man.EXE in the back.

Mega Man.EXE reemerged as Search Man.EXE and Megaman couldn't think of anything to use except Wildfire Cyclone. This scrambled Mega Man.EXE's heat detector as Rocky dashed forward and used Sand Wall. It was amazingly effective, Mega Man.EXE's weapons malfunction and explode. He disappeared to reappear as Shade Man.EXE. He spread his wings and flew into the air. Rocky used Sniper Missile, but Mega Man.EXE dodged it. He lunged at Rocky with his claws and Megaman countered with Scarlet Wind. The attack ground him and Mega Man.EXE reappeared as a lump of sand. It fell to the ground before reshaping into Mega Man.EXE. However, the reshaping gave Rocky enough time to dash over and use Wildfire Cyclone, turning Mega Man.EXE to glass. Rocky quickly shifted weapons and used Shimmering Tomahawk to cut his copy in half. It took a few seconds, but Mega Man.EXE bit the dust. Or, in this case, sand.

People began cheering as Rocky wiped sweat from his forehead. "Not bad, bro!" He looked over and saw Protoman give him the thumbs-up. Rocky returned it as Wily lowered himself into speaking range. "So what! You destroyed the EXE series! They were just stalling you until my master plan was finished! Behold!" Everyone looked into the dying flames of Barrage Man.EXE and saw what looked like a capsule.

Bass beamed down and walked past Megaman as if he was there. He walked up to the capsule and continued watching it as it opened. "Behold, my greatest masterpiece! Zero!" A tall robot with a large blond ponytail lay inside the capsule. He looked far from finished, but Bass pointed his buster at him anyways. "This is supposed to replace me? Ha!" Wily started due to him not noticing Bass before. "Get away from him!" Bass smirked. "Make me." In a split second, Zero's eyes ripped open and Bass fired. The next, Zero reappeared behind Bass and proceeded to give him the beating of a lifetime. When Zero picked up his unconscious body, he frowned and threw him aside before looking at Megaman. "You've made a mockery of my past work! Let's so you do it again, Megaman!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes, the main villain of this fic is Zero. Of all people. Anyways, in the next chapter, Megaman faces off with Zero and he becomes infected with something called the Zero Virus. Until then, Read and Review and I'll continue!
