The previous lack of an update was due to me converting a one-shot fic into a trilogy. This time, I caught up on some major gaming. But now that temptations gone, I'm going to start working on my fics nonstop 'til I've finished most of the ones I have out right now. Anyways, here's chapter thirteen and IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter XIII
Blasts From The Past
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Within a half-hour, the hunters, Roll, and Tron arrived at the far edge of the Saul Kada Desert while, Teasel, Gate, and Dynamo went to the city. Zero walked forward and looked towards the desert. "I hope you're ready, guys. Doppler said something about his greatest achievement." The others nodded, then Axl and Zero beamed off.

Ready
X began running forward and immediately shot through a few Bat Bones, who'd hung themselves from trees. X then ran along with the girls until they'd just gotten out of the oasis. Then, the sound of a jeep of some sort was heard.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach pauses)
Warning! Warning!
Bulldoze Krillion drove up in a jeep-like creation that then transformed into his armor. "I am Bulldoze Krillion." He said in a monotonic tone. "I am Maverick Hunter in training and, as part of it, I have been assigned to destroy you under suspicion of Maverick activity." Roll raised and eyebrow as she noticed that his eyes were glowing blue. "What's with him? I thought he died." X frowned. "He did. Looks like Doppler just brought his body back. Oh well. He's in our way, so stand back." Krillion reached back and slammed his crane arm into the ground. "Death to the Maverick Hunters!"

(Bulldoze Krillion's Health)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"RAH!" Krillion reached back, bounced forward, and beamed X in the head, knocking him to the ground. He rolled away and he analyzed his opponent. "I guess it makes sense." X's armor became tan and marigold as X charged the attack. "Swift Kicker." This knocked Krillion on his ass and he simply jumped to his feet. "T-Slash!" Krillion lunged forward, caught X, and swung him around before throwing a small distance away. "Piercing Strike!" Krillion swung the wind bullet at X who dodged it and fired a fully-charged shot to Krillion's small body. This knocked him out of the armor."
Zero beamed down and he had T-Breaker out. "Ancient Force." Krillion lunged at X and Zero smashed the ground, creating a massive blast that massively damaged the exposed Krillion. Axl then beamed down and well and used his Giga Attack.
Giga Attack
DNA Change
Axl turned into 'Swift-Foot' Leo who knocked Krillion into the air and began using him as a makeshift Stairmaster. Needless to say, increasingly faster attacks aren't very friendly. Axl turned back to normal, then he and Zero beamed off, allowing X a fully-charged shot. "This is pathetic! We beating him senseless without his armor!" Zero began laughing pretty badly as used the uncharged Swift Kicker. Unfortunately, this knocked him back into his armor.
(Bulldoze Krillion's Health)
----------
(Near Death Attack - Power Play)
Krillion lunged forward and grabbed X. He threw him into the air, laughed, and began rapidly thrusting his claw into X's chest. Finally, he thrust forward with all of his strength and sent X flying. Axl beamed down and used Revolver Barrel to unleash the eight-shot burst straight to Krillion's weakened body.
(Bulldoze Krillion's Health)
None
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 fades out)
Krillion's armor began exploding and as he began stepping backwards, X ran up to Axl's side. As energy was charged into his chest, he thrust it forward and cried, "Not again!" Axl, X, Roll, and Tron shielded their eyes as Krillion exploded. "That's probably one of eight. And it's just the way I like it. Predetermined order!" Axl smirked and beamed off.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach resumes)
X resumed running towards the city as Mettaurs popped their heads out from under their helmets. As they did, a pink saber tore through and returned to it's user. "Dynamo?" The mercenary-turned-hunter smirked. "Let you have the fun? Gate needs to get a life!" X sighed and beamed off.
Active Member - Dynamo
Dynamo ran for and easily cut through the Cannon Driver and B-Blader as the dropped from the air. Dynamo then ran forward only to stop at the sound of something spinning in air.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach pauses)
Warning! Warning!
A large spiked ball bounced off of the ground and exploded in air. A series of spikes fell and vanished as Stegosaur dropped down and drew his sword. "Time for vengeance!"
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 begins playing)
(Spike Stegosaur's Health)
----------------------------------------
Dynamo, having the same weapons as Zero, whipped out V-Hanger and threw it into Stegosaur's neck. "D-Grapple!" He then ran over and jumped on top of him. He grabbed the cord, wrapped it around Stegosaur's neck, and dashed under him after jumping to the ground. This knocked the wind out of Stegosaur and made him do a backflip, but it wasn't very powerful. "Easily remedied!"
Giga Attack
Strike Raid
Stegosaur easily countered by dashing forward and knocking Dynamo backwards on his ass. Axl beamed down and together they used a Double Attack.
Execute Axl/ Dynamo Double Attack
Dynamo used his laser attack as Axl unleashed a torrent of bullets. Stegosaur was merely knocked back, but suddenly a red ball of energy ripped through him. "Gate!" The Maverick Hunter commander walked up with a dead serious look on his face. "Dynamo, you are testing my patience. I need you at Kimotoma City, not here. Leave this to them." Dynamo rolled his eyes and beamed. Gate sighed and did the same.
Active Member - Axl
Axl used Bound Blaster thrice and each shot knocked him slightly farther into the air. Axl then used his transforming ability to become Stegosaur himself. This didn't require energy because it wasn't intended as an attack. It just confused the real Stegosaur. This allowed to beam down, charge Dhalsim Shot and fire it through him. "Powerdrive activate!" X charged it again, but this time, he fired three blasts that acted as boomerangs.
(Spike Stegosaur's Health)
-----
(Near Death Attack - Skewer Rat)
"Power!" Stegosaur released ten spikes into the air which began raining down on the hunters. X charged Dhalsim Shot and launched it. He jumped over Stegosaur as the shot's return brought him towards his feet. A spike then proceeded to skewer Stegosaur.
(Spike Stegosaur's Health)

(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 fades out)
Stegosaur simply reached up before his hand fell limp and the charged energy ripped through his chest. "I was… so close…" After the explosion, Axl snickered. "As close as Elysium." X smirked and beamed out.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach resumes)
Axl ran forward as a golden B-Blader flew down. Using Needle Cannon, the helicopter bit the dust in seconds. Jumped over the wreckage as the girls moved around it. Suddenly, odd noises were heard and Axl stopped.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach pauses)
Warning! Warning!
"Yung! Yung! Yung!" The noises grew louder until Dhalsim Lemark backflipped over Axl with his legs and arms extended. Once he was several feet away from Axl, his limbs retracted and he landed on the ground. Then, he looked around nervously, noticed Axl, and panicked. "Oh no!"
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 begins playing)
(Dhalsim Lemark's Health)
-----------------------------------
Axl quickly swapped with X, who's armor was yellow and gray. He'd already begun charging the weapon.
Active Member - X
X jumped into the air and fired the weapon. "Lightning Dash!" X dashed through the air over Lemark as two of the three lightning bolts nailed him. He instantly began sparking like crazy. X took advantage of this to use his Giga Attack.
Giga Attack
Neo Genesis
"Neo… GENESIS!" The massive red energy blast ripped through Lemark's weakened body and part of his chest exploded. "Yung!" Lemark reached behind him and grabbed X. Then, he threw him swiftly forward and thrust a hand at his chest while he was in midair. X caught the hand and used Lightning Charge again. This time the attack caused him to smoke. X then fully-charged the buster and blew part of Lemark's lower torso off. X then aimed a Lightning Charge at that spot while it was weakened.
(Dhalsim Lemark's Health)
--------
(Near Death Attack - Slam Dance)
Lemark reached forward and grabbed X's shoulders. He flipped him over his back and flipped back onto his feet. He then slammed X into the ground behind him again and one more time just for good measure before reached back and slamming his body into X's. This attack resulted in major recoil, which finished him off.
(Dhalsim Lemark's Health)
None
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 fades out)
"Agh… Not… Me… Why me…" He weakly reached forward before energy was charged and released through his chest."
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach resumes)
X sighed and began running forward. He passed a few stones that were once ruins and suddenly skimming was heard. "Number four, right on time!"
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach pauses)
Warning! Warning!
Strider was seen skimming on the sand in the distance before he leapt into X's path. "I think you've got some dying to do." Strider simply swung his hand in X's direction before the battle began.
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 begins playing)
(Pyroman Strider's Health)
--------------------------------------------------
X identified his weakness and began charging Drill Missile. As Strider dashed towards him, he released three missiles that tore through his body. "Flame Wheel!" Strider floated into the air surrounded in flaming spheres. Then, he dashed down at X, creating two waves of fire going either upon impact with the ground. X swapped with Zero, who then used T-Slash.
Active Member - Zero
Keeping T Breaker out, he activated his Giga Attack after knocking Strider away from him.
Giga Attack
Command Arts
Zero used Zero Melee and the final blow sent Strider smashing into the ground, breaking one of his orange legs. Strider slowly got up and aimed his blaster at Zero. A large wave of fire emerged from it as Strider slowly began advancing on Zero. He easily jumped over Strider and smashed T Breaker into Strider's head. "Ack! Program… Error…" Strider spun his orange legs around rapidly and Zero was able to not only dodge the attack, but bust another one of his legs. Now that they weren't operable, Strider gripped its' base and ripped it off of his shoulders. He tossed it to the side where it exploded.
As Strider turned around, Zero bashed him into the gut before beaming him on the head. Due to the force, Strider bounced high into the air and landed on the ground hard. So hard that began sparking.
(Pyroman Strider's Health)
--------------
(Near Death Attack - Pyrotechnics)
Strider reached back and created one huge pillar of flame. When it vanished, the sand below his feet had become glass. Zero summoned his saber and knocked Strider back with his shoulder. He then grabbed Strider's and began repeatedly stabbing Strider in the chest. One final thrust in the gut was all it took.
(Pyroman Strider's Health)
None
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 fades out)
Zero shoved Strider's body off of his saber Strider almost immediately exploded, but not before managing, "Not bad…" Zero then began laughing. "This is nothing but child's play!"
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach resumes)
Zero ran forward and slashed through a Cannon Driver. As its' top fell to the ground, Zero slashed through that as well. When he ran a few feet forward, a boxing bell was heard.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach pauses)
Warning! Warning!
Four pegs landed in the ground and three electric ropes connected them. "Oh goody." 'Swift-Foot' Leo then back-flipped into the newly-made makeshift ring.
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 begins playing)
('Swift-Foot' Leo's Health)
--------------------------------------------------
Fight!
Zero brought out K Knuckle and quickly got several punches to Leo's face in. Leo then kicked Zero into the ropes, which shot him swiftly into the ground. "Ah, geez." He held his back getting up and was barely able to dodge Leo's punch. "Try this on for size!" Zero smashed his fist into the ground and created a massive blast that knocked Leo into the ropes, thus sending him into the ground.
Zero began bouncing around before managed an uppercut to Leo and then following that with swift jabs to the stomach. He finished it off with another blast of Ancient Force. "Look again, Mr. Champ, 'cause I'm whooping yo ass!" Leo snarled and swung a wild punch Zero, who easily countered with a kick to the head. Zero T-Slash to spin around rapidly while punching Leo in the chest.
('Swift-Foot' Leo's Health)
-----------
(Near Death Attack - Rolling Thunder)
Leo dashed forward and began rapidly beating Zero in the chest before knocking him into the electrical ropes. Zero got up and used his Giga Attack as a retaliation.
Giga Attack
Command Arts
Zero used Zero Melee and the last blow sent Leo into the ropes, which then shot him into the opposite ropes. Those ropes then shot him into the ground where he lay defeated.
KO!
('Swift-Foot' Leo's Health)
None
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 fades out)
As energy charged into his stomach, he simply raised his hand. "Impossible… I'm… undefeatable…" The explosion took the ring's corner poles with it and thus opening the path up again.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach resumes)
Zero summoned his saber again ran forward some more. "I can see the city from here!" Zero smirked at Roll's brief 'pointing-out-the-obvious' moment. The city wasn't that far in the distance. He also saw the warehouse where Road Run had kicked his ass. Speaking of which, a maniacal laughter was heard and Zero swiftly stopped. "Time for redemption I see."
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach pauses)
Road Run appeared in many different places in about three seconds, including next Zero, leaning against the girls, balancing on his head in the distance, and finally in front of Zero. "Bring it on, hunter!"
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 begins playing)
(Lightning Dash Road Run's Health)
------------------------------
"It's getting awfully boring over here." Zero took the hint and swapped with X.
Active Member - X
X shifted his armor to a navy blue and silver color. "Titanium Defense!" This attack instantly froze Road Run's feet. "Wha… What is this!" He began struggling to free himself until Zero beamed down and nailed him with the T Breaker. Then, he beamed off. "Sorry. I had to do that." X smirked and blasted Road Run with a fully-charged buster shot. "Ouch! Stop it!" Road Run dashed past X, shocking him in the process. X jumped up and using the fully-charged fire shot which he'd gained a few days earlier. Road Run burst into flames and X used a quick fully-charged ice shot. This instantaneously froze him.
(Lightning Dash Road Run's Health)
---------------
(near Death Attack - Lightning Reflexes)
Road Run jumped to his feet after the ice shatters and head-butted X. Then, he quickly darted from either side of X while holding out his claws. When he stop, X spun around and landed on the ground. He jumped to his feet and fired the ice shot. This time, it missed, but Zero beamed down and knocked Road Run out of the air. Then, Zero proceeded to smash Road Run with T Breaker numerous times before summoning his saber to finish the job.
(Lightning Dash Road Run's Health)
None
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 fades out)
Zero smirked and turned to X. "All completely necessary." X shook his head as Road Run exploded. "AGH!" Zero then beamed off and let X take lead.
Active Member - X
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach resumes)
Now within a short distance of the warehouse, X began picking up strong viral readings from it. "Do you see this, guys? Must be something big in there." Zero merely laughed in the background. "If it's one of these losers, then I highly doubt it." X stopped briefly to let the girls catch up before something spinning in the air was heard again.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach pauses)
Warning! Warning!
Tortnium's shell slowly floated to the ground, then began spinning horizontally. His limbs popped out and smashed him into the ground, stopping his rotation. He cracked his neck before stepping forward. "This is it!"
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 begins playing)
"Hyah!" Missiles were fired out of the three orange crystals on his back and X dodged many of them, occasionally getting grazed by one. When they stopped, X used his Giga Attack.
Giga Attack
Neo Genesis
The force ripped through the crystals and damaged the interior holes that they were in. The middle hole began smoking as Tortnium turned in the spiked ball. "G-Wave!" He spun around briefly before shooting forward through X and standing up again. All of the crystals respawned except the one in the center. X charged the fire shot and fired it (Please excuse the pun…) into Tortnium's exposed back. He was instantly set ablaze, allowing X to analyze him for weaknesses. When he found it, he swapped with Axl.
Active Member - Axl
He brought out the flame-thrower and began firing (Excuse the pun again…) a constant stream of flames. This kept Tortnium ablaze for a few more seconds before he retreated into his shell. "G-Wave!" Axl was able to roll to the side of Tortnium's dash. Then, he dashed over and used the Giga Attack.
Giga Attack
DNA Change
Axl turned into Strider and he began laughing. "I believe you're late for your appointment with death!" He used Strider's second Near Death Attack, Pyrotechnics, and summoned a huge pillar of flame that not only damaged him, but destroyed the other crystals as well. Axl turned back to normal and brought out his grenade launcher. "Cryptic Grenade!" It wasn't his weakness, but it did a lot of damage to Tortnium's weakened shell. Then, Zero beamed down and double-jumped he waited until he was just even with the lower hole before using Ensuizan. A flaming attack to all three holes resulting in triple damage.
(Defend Tortnium's Health)
---------------
(Near Death Attack - Titanium Thruster)
Tortnium retreated into his shell and flew into the air. Then, he flew at the hunters, who barely managed to dodge it. Tortnium did this about five times, alternating from a vertical pose to a horizontal one. When, he landed, Axl and Zero unleashed the Double Attack.
Execute Axl/ Zero Double Attack
Zero brought out V Hanger and jumped onto Tortnium's shell. He stabbed the middle hole as hard as he could before back-flipping off and allowing Axl to use Pyro Sphere on that hole. When the flames died, so did Tortnium.
(Defend Tortnium's Health)
None
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 fades out)
Tortnium fell onto his chest and that released the charged energy. "I shall die… with honor…" When the explosion faded, Zero beamed out.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach resumes)
Axl ran forward and torched a few Bat Bones who decided to get him. Nearby, Axl saw a whirlpool of sand. "I'd hate to have to see what's done there." He shuddered and ran a few steps before he heard a booming voice say, "THAT'S FAR ENOUGH!"
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach pauses)
Warning! Warning!
Anubis Jacquelyn thrust his claw our of the sand and burst from the ground. He spun around briefly to get rid of the sand, then reached his claw towards Axl. "Time to rid the world of hunter scum!"
(T2: The Arcade Game (Sega Genesis) - Sound Test 01 begins playing)
(Anubis Jacquelyn's Health)
---------------------------------------------
He dashed past Axl and knocked him to the ground. As Axl jumped to his feet, Jacquelyn released a powerful burst from his body. "Ancient Force!" Axl rolled onto his feet after being knocked backwards and brought out his chain gun. "Needle Cannon!" Jacquelyn was knocked onto the ground where Axl continued firing until his gun stopped and smoke rose from it. "Not again!" Suddenly with the lack of a weakness, Axl swapped places with X.
Active Member - X
X fired the normal version of Scatter Spikes and Jacquelyn found himself pinned to the ground. He used a smaller version of Ancient Force to free himself just as X fired the charged version. One spike shot up, split into four, then fell to the ground, one of them hitting Jacquelyn. He roared and floated into the air. "Behold… ultimate power!" He fired a massive laser at X which just about disabled him. He was then forced to swap with Zero.
Active Member - Zero
Zero, not wanting to repeat last time, started right away with a Giga Attack.
Giga Attack
Command Arts
Zero Melee was used to smash Jacquelyn into the ground and allowed Zero to fall to it with T Breaker in hand. As he was getting up, Jacquelyn was met face to warhammer as Zero began acting like Babe Ruth.
(Anubis Jacquelyn's Health)
----------------------
(Near Death Attack - Apocalypse)
Jacquelyn released a small wave of light that covered a small area with Zero in it. "Apocalypse!" A swift barrage of lasers smashed down on Zero and he was lucky to be still alive when it ended. Forced to swap with Axl, he cursed out Jacquelyn.
Active Member - Axl
Axl whipped out Needle Cannon and began firing at Jacquelyn's face. This irritated him, but allow X to beam down briefly and charge up Scatter Spikes. The attack pinned him to the ground and X quickly beamed off. While Jacquelyn freed himself, Axl continued shooting him. Jacquelyn could barely move after that, so x and Zero beamed down. "Do you think a mere boulder could hurt me? Ha!" Zero started. "Looks like this is the original. Doesn't matter how you escaped that 'cause you don't escape this."
Axl had just run up to X's side as Jacquelyn look behind him. The Reaverbot X Zero had seemingly destroyed on their first trip to the warehouse was posed to strike at Jacquelyn. "Oh shit…" The Reaverbot lunged forward, bit him in half, tossed the upper half into the air, and grabbed him out of midair as he exploded. It then took the upper torso with it into the sand.

(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach resumes)
"Interesting turn of events." X nodded. 'Yeah, but we'd better get going before that thing gets back." The other nodded and together they begin finishing the trek to the warehouse. "Sub Tank activate."
Sub Tanks left - 3
X and Zero's wounds were healed as several Preons marched up. "How's that work out. Sub Tanks are for single users." X blasted through a Preon S Ferham and spun around to shoot at Bat Bones who'd just arrived. "Gate reprogrammed it to heal everyone outside of battle. Think of the time when we took on Redips." Zero growled. "Don't even remind me of him." Once the bots had bit the dust the hunters began running forward to the warehouse. Right outside of the door, X paused to scan the interior. "Odd… The viral reading is gone. We'd better be careful." Everyone nodded and they all entered the incomplete building.
(Ecco The Dolphin (Sega Genesis) - Jurassic Beach fades out)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now that's what I call getting back into things. In the next chapter, the unthinkable happens. I'm going to alternate between fics so that I can finish off some of them. Until then, though, Read and Review and I'll continue!
