This lack of an update brought to you by me turning my one-shot fic into a trilogy. But I'm here now, so let's get started. In this chapter, X and Zero take on Doc Doppler, the one behind the Limited Virus. Now, a couple of weeks ago, I was able to play X3 again. Dr. Doppler was a lot easier than I remember, so this may be a short chapter. Ah, who am I kidding! As a last minute addition, I'm going to combine the Doppler battle with the Vile battles, so this isn't going to be very short. Anyways, here's chapter twelve!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter XII
Abandon Ship!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dr. Doppler walked in the command room of Vile's airship and Vile cleared his throat. "They're on their way." Dr. Doppler pondered this. "Then I shall be on mine. I'll try to stall them." He exited the room and Vile scoffed. "Please don't return." Meanwhile, Gate hit the enter key once more and something began flashing on the map of Central Tower. "Got it! Roll, I'll need your help!" Both Gate and Roll then swiftly left the room and ran down the hallway. The last resort was in effect.

X beamed down and immediately noticed an odd canister. "Guys, I'm getting a massive viral reading from these canisters. These must be the ones with the Limited Virus! Don't destroy them through because it'll infect the entire ship!" X then began running forward, maneuvering around the canisters. X then aimed and fired at a lone Mettaur as it bounced to its' feet. It blew up and X came to a giant wall. He used the Triangle Jump to scale it, then slowly dropped down the other side in order to prevent from bumping into a hanging trio of canisters. X then ran forward until the entire ceiling was holding up canisters of the virus. "Axl, I need you in here. You're the smallest and lightest. You should be helpful here."
Active Member - Axl
Axl and X swapped places and he ran forward until the floors moved upwards. He climbed the first wall and dashed to the platform. Then, he climbed up the second wall and dashed to that platform. Just before entering the door that was there, X and Zero beamed down. "If these things go off, it'll be more than noticeable and we'll have to get out of the room posthaste." X and Axl nodded and entered the door.

(A.N. I know that was a short fortress level, but the level before the Iris/ Double battle in X4 was about that length. Don't worry though. The next one will be longer.)
Warning! Warning!
The three hunters dropped into the room and Doppler was standing on the other side of it. "Dr. Doppler, I presume." Axl stated, stepping forward. "Not bad. You got here without setting a canister off. But you should see how many are on the other side of this room. If I die, they'll go off in unison, blowing this room to viral oblivion!" Zero scoffed and drew his saber. "Save it! Let's just end this!" Doppler snickered and threw off his lab coat. A large energizer was strapped to his back. "And to think, you still don't realize my greatest achievement. Oh well. You'll learn of it in due time."
Tri-Hunter Blitz!

----------------------------------------
(A.N. Either go to Protoman Dot Com or Atomic Fire for a music clip of this tune.)
Axl began shooting him with his handgun, but X swatted it away as Doppler brought forth a green shield. "He'll recharge his health if you shoot him while that's active." Axl nodded and Zero summoned T Breaker. Doppler began spitting fireballs from his palm as X fired at him. Then, Doppler activated his shield again. As Doppler floated into the air while a wave of fire sat in front of him. X fired the first special weapon that became available in the air before dashing underneath Doppler's forward dash. The ball of spikes merely bounced off of his armor and became spikes on the wall. Zero dashed over and used T-Slash. This knocked Doppler into the spikes, damaging the energizer.
X shifted weapons twice and fired the next weapon that he had. "Swift Kicker!" Of course, the move came nowhere close to hitting him, but Doppler activated his shield anyway. X shifted his weapon once more and fired. "Cryptic Grenade!" Once the shield had vanished, Doppler was slammed into the wall due to the force of the blast. "Bull's-eye!" X fired another one and Doppler activated his shield instead of shooting fireballs. His health was recharged, but the weapon took most of it away.
(Doppler's Health)
------------------------------
Doppler then flew into the air and dashed forward in the fireball shield. As soon as he laded Axl jumped onto Zero shoulders and unleashed torrents of bullets while Zero used T Slash. This was a powerful combo, but Doppler's shield help restore his health. Zero figured that he'd fix that.
Giga Attack
Zero Melee
Doppler was caught in the six-hit combo before being smashed into the ground with T Breaker. Needless to say his energizer bit the dust. "Why you… After all I'm doing for this world, you still don't understand!" X scoffed. "Created a super-virus isn't much, doc."
(Doppler's Health)
-----------------
(Near Death Attack - Thunderstruck)
Doppler dashed to the center of the arena began coursing with electricity. He threw his arms back and a barrage of thunder nearly filled the whole room. This attack was so powerful, Doppler was even hit with recoil. Zero took this opportunity to bring out D Glaive. Zero began spinning D Glaive vertically on his left, then his right, then left, right, left, right, and so forth. He even became faster while he switched sides before slamming it into the ground and knocking Doppler into the air. He then used Raikoha and the lightning bolt went through Doppler. X then charged a shot and blasted Doppler as he landed.

Doppler slowly got to his feet and looked at X. "Two years unnoticed… And you call yourselves Maverick Hunters… He'll show you…" With that Doppler began rapidly exploding and energy was charged into his chest. "AGH!" Doppler exploded and what sounded like a massive smoke bomb going off was heard. "That was the virus! Let's move!" The three then beamed in unison to the top of the ship." In the cockpit, Vile dunked his hand. "Finally, I'm rid of him! Now, execute airship self-de…" He was cut off by the ship rocking suddenly due to an explosion. "That asshole! He's rigged this thing to blow! At least I've still got this." He began chuckling while looking at a large Ride Armor in the corner.

When the hunters beamed down, an explosion occurred and the ship began exploding. "We've got to get off this thing! Let's get to the other side of the ship!" The reason for this… reasoning… was that they'd teleported to the rear of the ship. Their chances at survival would be better at the front, closer to Central Tower. X nodded. "Right! Let's go!" The hunters began running along the deck in unison when B-Bladers appeared. X fired a fully-charged blast through them and the hunters climbed on top of them.
They continued on when two Cannon Drivers marched. Zero summoned Z Saber and slashed through their legs. Then, Axl began shooting them until they exploded. They continued runner, taking out Mettaurs and the occasional Preon. Finally, they'd made it about halfway. "Alright! Axl, contact Dynamo." Axl nodded and did so. His voice was staticky.
"Guys… Wher…re…you…"
"We're on Vile's airship! We're heading to the front of it!"
"Wh…e…can…rely…se…ou…"
"Tell Gate to hold off on the Parabola! We might be caught in the explosion!"
About this time, more B-Bladers appeared and began spawning Deerballs. X and Zero took care of them as Axl continued talking.
"Gat…n't…et…he…abola…o…ork…"
"He can't get it to work? Make him get it to work! We need you to blow this thing sky high once we're off of it!"
"…'ll…ell…ate…to…ire…"
"What! No! I said… Shit!"
The transmission was lost when the finally B-Blader exploded. "We got to get moving, Gate's gonna blow this thing up with us on it!" X and Zero nodded and began sprinting for the end of the ship. Axl followed them and managed to catch up as the platform underneath them sank into the ship and the walls began to fall onto them.
Giga Attack
Neo Genesis
"Neo… GENESIS!" Zero and Axl were harmed slightly in the crossfire, but it was better than being dead. They used the Triangle Jump to scale the wall and begin running for the end of the ship.
(Megaman X3 (PSX) - Vile Stage fades out)
"Gate! The others just called! They want you to blow that thing sky high!"
"With them on it?"
"That's what Axl said."
"Roll?"
"Argh! Stupid piece of… Got it!"
"Right! Dynamo, pull that switch over there!"
Dynamo found the switch and pulled it. The Parabola, Roll, and Gate begin rising to ground level as the platform they were on began rising. Once there, Roll aimed the Parabola at the ship and paused. "How's this going to…" Gate chuckled. "I've talked with the Mother Units. They'll activate the satellites in unison, spreading out the laser to cover the entire city." Roll started. "Laser?" Gate smirked. "I said it hadn't been shot in two years. I never said anything about upgrading it." Roll nodded and fired the laser. Sure enough, once it got over Central Tower, it spread out in a protective dome around Giga City.
"Ready?" Seeing that the ship was about to crash into the top of the dome, the hunters decided to try and beam out of there. "One… Two… THREE!" The hunters beamed off just as the ship crashed into the dome. "What? I was aimed straight for the center! Not the top! I… I… GODDAMN YOU, HUNTERS!" Vile shouted as the entire ship was surrounded in a fiery explosion.
Gate, Roll, her parents, the Bonnes, and Dynamo all ran up as the dome diminished and minimal wreckage began descending. The rest of it had disintegrated due to the shield. "Well, that works too." Roll smiled happily and ran to Prof. Casket. "Grandpa!" She gave him a massive hug seeing that he and Von Bleucher had been on business for a while now. "Von Bleucher smiled and turned to the others. "Barrell and I were just discussing how we needed another incident to make this city livelier. That is, of course, when this happened."
The hunters beamed down and Roll happily jumped into X's arms. "Whoa. It wasn't that difficult." A large chunk of wreckage fell into the middle of the city streets nearby and all eyes turned to it. "it was actually quite easy." X suddenly started and he spun to Gate. "Wait! The virus!" Gate chuckled. "The cannisters containing the virus became inactive when Doppler died. In others words, he died and took the virus with him." X smirked and Zero replaced his saber. "'Bout time. I was starting to get sick of all this virus talk." Muffled laughter caused everyone's attention to turn back to the wreckage. "Bullshit, Zero!" With that, something began to try and break its' way through
Warning! Warning!
Within seconds, a large bluish Ride Armor began marching towards the hunters. And guess who was driving… "Vile…" Vile stopped and stood erect. "Well, well. I must admit, I'm impressed. However, this entire armor is covered in virus-infected metal. one touch and you're finished." Zero sneered. "Sorry, Doppler took the virus with him. Look for yourself." Vile looked at the Ride Armor, then started. "Wha… What! Why that… No matter! You're still no match for the Goliath Armor!" Axl stepped forward. "That reminds me. I've still got a whole wad of payback for you for the Magna-Goliath incident."
Vile laughed. "Ah, the redhead. You were awfully fun to blow up." X held out a hand as Axl made a sudden move forward. Vile laughed again and sat down. "I'm tired of this. You're all no fun, so I think I'll kill you."

-----------------------------------
Vile dashed forward as Zero summoned T Breaker. He got knocked back, but easily got his grip on the ground and used T-Slash. This attack sent Vile skidding backwards. "Not bad, but not good enough!" He threw one fist forward and it separated from the arm, continuing its' path towards Zero. "I've combined this armor with the old Kangaroo model. I can attack you from both short and long distances!" Zero dodged the fist and snickered. "Big deal." Axl fired the Spiral Magnum over Zero's head and the bullet caused the armor to slide backwards slightly. Axl then jumped on Zero's shoulder and dove towards the armor.
Giga Attack
DNA Change
Axl changed into Tortnium and he immediately retreated into his shell. He then began spinning around rapidly before plowing through the Ride Armor. Then, he changed back to normal.
Vile dashed forward, then held back suddenly, releasing the fists forward. X jumped up and fired three Drill Missiles. Each one knocked him back farther, allowing Zero to come up and smash the warhammer into the armor thrice before using T-Slash again. X unleashed another fully-charged Drill Missile and each one knocked the Goliath Armor onto its' back. Axl shot Vile once with the Spiral Magnum and, as Vile jumped to his feet, Axl shot him again, causing black smoke to plume from the armor.

None
The armor began exploding as Vile jumped onto the rims. Then, as the Goliath Armor exploded, Vile jumped backwards onto the ground.
(Vile's Health)
------------------------------
Vile jumped over Zero and dropped and fireball onto him. This knocked Zero down, but he quickly put the fire out. Vile slowly floated into the air before firing a rapid-fire burst of energy pellets at X and Axl. X quickly scanned Vile's armor and smirked. "How surprising. Not." X shifted his weapons until his armor became navy blue and silver. "Titanium Defense!" The frozen shield appeared and Axl helped boost X into the air where the shield made contact with Vile. He suddenly froze and fell to the ground, where the ice shattered.
Zero summoned Z Saber and dashed towards Vile as he jumped over them again. Vile dropped a fireball above Zero's head and time froze momentarily as Zero struck it and used G-Wave to counter it with a frosty energy wave. Again, Vile froze and broke free and he jumped up again. This time, Axl used Iron Shield just as Vile landed, hurting him once more. Vile jumped up and began shooting the energy barrage as X used Titanium Defense again. When Vile broke free, X activated a Final Strike.
Execute Genesis Armor X, Zero, and Axl Final Strike!
(A.N. One of my constant reviewers revealed a fault in my last Final Strike. I'm fixing that now.)
X and Axl began shooting normal shots while releasing two missiles with each shot. Zero dashed forward and began using a constant T-Slash, both attacking Vile and reflecting any missiles that strayed to close to him. Finally, Zero jumped back and they let the dust settle.

(Near Death Attack - Supreme Fire Wave)
Vile jumped towards the center of the arena, then flew out of range of the hunters. "Try this on for size!" Vile released a massive fireball that turned into two waves of fire going left and right when it hit. The hunters were knocked down, but Axl quickly jumped to his feet and shot Vile straight in his visor.

Vile fell onto one knee as he struggled to hold on. "Go to coordinates… SKD29… You're questions will be answered there… As for Zero… Don't you remember what I said before…" Zero raised an eyebrow. "Let me remind you. I will haunt you till the day you die." With that, energy was charged in his chest and he blew up from the inside out. "He's coming back."
(Megaman X7 (PS2) - Boss Beaten plays)
Axl did a backflip and threw his gun into the air. "Oh yeah!" Gate closed his eyes, then opened them with a start. "The Saul Kada Desert!" Everyone turned to Gate as if to say 'Huh?'. "Those coordinates are the far edge of the Saul Kada Desert." X placed a hand to his chin and, after some discussion, it was finalized that the hunters would go to the Saul Kada Desert. Nearby, a shaded figure watched the hunters beam off and the others run towards Central Tower. "Just a matter of time? Hardly."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the next chapter, the hunters go up against the doppelgangers of the eight Mavericks. Until then, Read and Review and I'll continue! By the way, I'll update sooner this time.
