It's a Navi's World Chapter 31: Knight of Red, a mega man fanfic

If you guys thought the last chappie was intense, you're gonna flip with this one's POV.

...and failed.

Within a second Mega Man had rolled away was back on his feet, at the ready for the next attack. I gritted my teeth and swung both swords with a synchronised motion, but he pressed forward, his own CyberSword reappearing on his Buster hand. Mega Man swung his arm -- and the sword came with it. I ground my teeth against my tongue -- so hard it almost bled -- and tried once more. Needless to say, it failed. Again. Mega simply dodged the blow and instantly we were fighting again, sword upon sword upon sword. The air was empty save the clashing sounds of the three blades. On and on we fought -- Mega Man showed a lot of fatigue or exhaust, but he never stopped fighting, always back on his blue-booted feet to counter my blows.

It aggravated me. You know that kid from Shaman King, Yoh or whatever his name is? That was who Mega Man reminded me of at the moment – fighting, ever fighting, but with this kind of sad, almost mournful look in his eyes. He was getting on my nerves, and I had the feeling that he knew he was torturing me in that way of his, but it was as if he didn't care, as if it was his dying day and nothing mattered anymore.

I finally decided that brute force wasn't going to help. No matter how many times I would knock him down, Mega Man would just get back on his feet again. And again. And again. I had to stop him for good, but how?

That's when my brilliant AI got to work.

I deflected each and every one of Mega Man's blows with my red-gloved hand rather than my own CyberSwords -- which I let disappear of their own accord -- before sending a rapid-fire succession of MiniBoomers. Nothing big, I know, just enough to get him in the mood. He evaded most of them, but a few made their mark and wreaked havoc on his blue armour and tightsuit. In a matter of seconds, he was scored all over with small dents and indentations.

I was definitely knew I was going to win. I grinned vindictively and bared my teeth (Don't ask me why). As soon as Mega Man tried to get up again, I pounced. He tried to throw me off, but I was in my element now. I pressed my boots down harder onto his yellow-ringed crest – pathetic crest, really; mine and Ryozo's is so much better – and stabbed the swords down into the soft flesh of his neck.

"It's over, Mega Man," I grinned evilly, "Prepare to die." He looked back up at me, shock and what – hurt? How is that possible? – in his green eyes, and clamped one hand to his neck, where blood was spurting from the wound.

"It's not over yet, Proto Man.EXE," he said, right into my face as if good would always win (which, I knew, it wouldn't). "It never will be."

And then all havoc broke loose.

I've never actually seen a whole episode of Shaman King, if you're wondering. :) Supposingly Yoh is a laid-back kind of guy, but I just thought he looked kind of mournful when he was fighting.
