"Alright', Tabuu-Rock muttered, 'I will admit, that's not what I expected. Oh well, I'll turn you into scrap metal, you little red annoyance. Now, as Mr. L would say, HAVE AT YOU!"
An intense battle ensued!
Axl began to unleash rapid fire on Tabuu-Rock, who barely managed to reflect the shots.
"Okay, hot-shot', the short Subspace Lord snickered while taking a breath, 'I'll admit something again. You're quite a skilled marksman. But know that it will never amount to me in the body of the legendary Blue Bomber". Axl, in one of the only times in his life when he was being remotely serious, proceeded to race over and pluck Zero out of the wall.
"Do you mind helping me? And, don't worry, help is on the way", Axl explained. Zero smiled adventurously and the red reploids took Tabuu-Rock on with the moxie they had when fighting Sigma for the umpteenth time.
SWISH, Zero's Z-Sabre flew at Mach speeds to strike his opponent.
BANG! BANG! Axl let loose some serious fire-power, knocking Tabuu-Rock down for a little.
"X should be here any minute with the cure for Little-guy-that-isn't-X-but-looks-like-a-smaller-rainbow-X-and-is-trying-to-kill-us", Axl shouted, firing another barrage of bullets and lasers as Tabuu-Rock got up again.
As he said that, Mega Man X, along with Mega Man's older brother Protoman, was coming down the hall to deliver the antidote, in the form of a tablet, given to them by Master Hand to heal their friend and destroy Tabuu for good. "Come on', X huffed, 'the more time we waste, the more likely that Rock will really hurt Zero and Axl".
Protoman nodded in agreement, keeping his calm-cool-and-collected demeanor. But inwardly, he was an emotional mess.
His brother had been taken away from him, twice I might add, he was dragged down to this laboratory to save the brother mentioned earlier, and that same brother was now being possessed by a god who wanted the world at his feet. Yeah, great day for Blues.
The B-Rank Maverick Hunter and the Original Model rounded another corner and caught a glimpse of some red people fighting a blue person. "Oh!', X remarked anxiously, 'this must be the room we're looking for".
The two ran into the room and barely dodged a frantic Ryuenjin from Zero. "Oh good!', Zero smirked, 'you, two, I guess, finally showed up. Axl's got, um, Tabuu, I suppose, on the ropes. Hit Little X with, whatever you're holding, and help him out".
Axl noticed X and Protoman, so he proceeded to drive Tabuu-Rock to the back wall with lasers. "He's open!', Axl called, 'hit him already!" X ran up to his 'older' brother and slapped the tablet on his forehead, heaving heavy sighs from running so fast. Tabuu-Rock's movement completely halted.
"You… you…', he stuttered, 'I'll… be… back…". He stammered before he glimmered and Tabuu's soul detonated.
KABOOM!
An almighty explosion sent the Mega Man X heroes and Protoman flying across the room, weapons and all. "This is not how I thought today was gonna go!", Blues screamed.
When the dust cleared, Protoman ran up to his unconscious little brother as fast as he could, being careful to not step on the debris that littered the room.
Zero, X, and Axl stood up and walked over to the scattered cards that were spread across the floor, picking them up in the process.
Protoman picked up his little brother and strode over to the others, worry in his eyes combined with the newly forming tears that were expertly hiding themselves behind the robot's shades. Suddenly, there was a loud rumble, and the ceiling began to cave in!
"We've gotta move. NOW!", Blues screamed. Axl helped Protoman carry Mega Man as X and Zero carved a path through waves of Mario enemies.
Zero lead the way while X slowed a little to make sure they had all the cards. Now, it was a mad dash for the door!
Angel is out!
