Sithking Zero: Capcom and Megaman not mine.

Sithking Zero: Thank you to all who reviewed my story! I can't list them here. I have two new stories: A Code Lyoko/ Megaman Crossover, and a Fic that I have taken over for Hydraman.exe. ON WITH THE LONG-AWAITED SEVENTH CHAPTER!

Chapter 7:

In which the dark designs of Sigma are revealed

The two last Net Savors dashed behind the nearest tank, just barely dodging a burst of energy.

They had been fighting with Sigma for almost twenty minutes now.

It had about as much of a point as trying to teach a rock to recite one of Shel Silverstein's poems.

Each attack and parry had gone something like this:

The net savors would blast at Sigma.

Sigma would dodge/absorb their attacks.

Sigma would blast our heroes.

It would hurt them.

When Zero and Roll had attacked him, they hoped for vengeance on their friends, family, and lovers.

Now, they hoped to escape with their lives.

"You know, I used to be like you two, Zero and Roll."

The two navis huddled together in fear of the dynamo of energy that was Sigma.

"I, too, was once a navi who wanted nothing more then the simplicity of peace. I, too, once loved as both of you had. But then, I lost my love. She was smote down in the Great Undernet Massacre. Not, however, by those stupid Rhakshi you have, Zero. A mugger took advantage of the situation, and killed her as she was trying to escape. I was crushed. I took it much the way that you fools did. I wandered around, trying to make sense of life. Then, shortly after the fool Hikari and his weakling Megaman beat Laserman, I found him."

Roll and Zero exchanged glances, trying to guess who he spoke of.

"I found the Darkloid that you knew as Shademan. He was in fact the same one who killed my beloved. I killed him. But before he died, he taught me a valuable life leasson…."

With this, Sigma gestured with his hand. As one, each of the ten thousand tanks in each of the five rooms of Sigma's cave opens. Out of the corner of Zero's eye, he could see the Rhakshi slink off towards the entrance.

"What Shademan taught me was that some are born to rule…"

Another gesture. The ten thousand navis stood as one, and began to march, emotionlessly, to their master.

"…And that some are born to obey."

Roll's heart leaped at that moment, for Megaman made his entrance. She waved happily to him, hoping that he, of all people, would help her and Zero.

These hopes at the sight of the one she loved vanished at what happened next, replaced with a cold blackness, infinite horror, and despair.

Megaman kneeled down and kissed Sigma's feet.

"What do you want us to do, my lord?" came the oddly subservient, if not slightly cold, voice of Megaman.

Sigma smiled fondly at his waiting servants, recruits, and soldiers. Then he turned to Roll and Zero.

"You see, I captured these fools, tallentless and stupid as they are, because they fall into the second category. Now, even you two must realize that you two can't stop us. No one can. The government can't fight against their own Navis. And certainly not the three greatest Net Savors ever." At this, Sigma politely gestured to Megaman, Protoman, and Searchman.

"Surely, even you cannot help but feel fear. Feel it wrapping around you. You will die, or join me."

Zero, defiant to the last, simply stated, "or, we go with option three."

Sigma looked amused. "and what is option three?"

Zero had flames burning in his eyes. "Me and Roll will tear you into tiny pieces. Then, we'll go into net city, and I'll buy chocolate shakes for everybody."

Sigma's eyes turned cold. "Thanks, but I prefer you dying."

"Somehow, Siggy, I don't picture that happening today."

"Oh? And why not?"

"Because our reinforcements will crush you! Here they come now!"

Sigma spun on his heel. Nothing was behind him but his own loyal soldiers.

Sigma turned back to Zero. However, Zero was already gone, as was Roll.

"Having trouble, Siggy?"

Sigma was instantly afraid. Turning slowly, his dread was fulfilled by the navi standing behind him.

Standing at six-foot two, this navi wore all black with orange stripes. His helmet was almost like a spiked Football helmet, and his gauntlets were orange with spikes all over them.

"Ppp…please….I need more time! I will kill the one you hate! Please! Don't report me to-"

"Do not speak his name, you fool!" the navi hissed. "No, I will not report you. But my master grows impatient. You must kill, or the master will be mad"

"And the girl? What shall I do with her?"

"She shall make a fine trophy…. To constantly remind Zero of where he failed."

Sithking Zero: Wow. This is very bad for our heros. How will they survive the Maverick Army? Who could be so bad as to make SIGMA afraid? Why does our shadowy villain have a grudge against Zero? All shall be revealed. Please Review!
