The Day of Judgment

Disclaimer: I own the EX Robot Masters who will be used in this fanfic. However, I do not own Megaman or Dreamwave Comics. If I did, I'd of made this entire series a reality by now. Wait a sec… I kinda have, haven't I…

Chapter II

A New World Atlas

As the crowd watched the wreckage fall to the ground, the radio built into the beatbox that Dez had brought along began crackling with static. "Please… You humans are so predictable. Did you really thing that I was simply going to let Megaman up here and begin trashing my nice base without reacting? Give me a break!" It was Atlas.

Suddenly, more static appeared. "Sorry, Atlas. You'll have to do better than that to kill us off." This time, it was Zero. This caused the crowd to cheer as Megaman's voice came on. "It took a few seconds for the rocket to get within teleporting range of the space station and when it did, he abandoned ship."

Atlas chuckled. "Very well. Let's see if you can make it, hunters. I'm in the center of the base. You are on the far left. You're got… eighteen minutes. Can you make in time? Well soon find out…" Then, the radio fell silent.

Ready

Megaman disconnected the signal and began running down the hall with Zero. "We need to hurry! Who knows how big this thing is!" Zero reached a window and paused. "I know." X reached the window and halted. Two rings spun around the rocket, which was built into the center of the base.

"My God…" Zero whistled and Megaman quickly began running after him again. They soon came across a pit with disappearing/ reappearing blocks. "Shit, I hate these things." They carefully made their way across, then began running again.

Suddenly, a wall of drills and other sharp, pointy things of explosive doom fell from the ceiling and began moving after the two. They began making they way around the terrain, which was obviously set as an obstacle course for the wall.

They ducked into a corridor and the wall stopped at it. They exited the corridor and was immediately pursued by another wall. Again, they evaded it until they reached a corridor. It stopped, but a third wall appeared.

For the third time, they reach a corridor and ducked inside. This time, they reached several doors. "Here goes."

Warning!

They entered the room and found Atlas looked the other way, but he looked over his shoulder the as they entered. "So, you made it… With thirteen minutes to spare. Not bad." Zero beamed off, letting Megaman take lead.

Atlas wore white armor, a long, silver cape, and a face-guard that covered the lower half of his face. In the face guard was a long, red jewel. He turned around as a sheath appeared at his side. "Not bad… if you want the planet to be destroyed."

Megaman went to say something, but Atlas held up his hand. "Let's not waste time with words. Let's waste them through battle." He drew the sword, stepped forward and held it to his right. "Let's do this, Maverick Hunter!"

(A silver bar passes the screen with Atlas' head and subtitles.)

"Feel my power!" Atlas growled, then lunged forward, slicing through Megaman. "You don't stand a chance against me. I have your battle data." Megaman got up and began charging his buster. "I got it from you last year when we fought in your front yard." Megaman shifted to the first weapon he thought of and punched forward. "Juggernaut Punch!!"

(A second bar passes the screen.)

"Oof!" Atlas was thrown into the wall due to the force of the punch. Atlas then used his sword and jumped into the air.

(A third bar passes the screen. Three sets of subtitles appear sequentially.)

"Dodge this!" He slashed his way to the ground, knocking Megaman into air. "Eat this!" Atlas swung the sword into the air, making himself airborne and causing Megaman to spin around. "Take… this!" He spun around and crashed into the ground, pinning Megaman to the ground by impaling his shoulder.

Atlas withdrew the sword and Zero swapped places with Megaman. "Titan Strike!" Zero stabbed the saber into the ground, causing Atlas to stumble. Zero then unleashed his power.

(A fourth bar passes the screen.)

"Wild Flare!" Atlas dashed forward and began rapidly slashing Zero. Megaman beamed down and began charging energy.

Giga Attack

Hadouken

"Hadouken!" This ended Atlas' attack, let Zero beam off, and caused Atlas to be knocked forward.

(A fifth bar passes the screen.)

"Not bad." Atlas turned around, blocked Megaman's buster shots with his sword, then dashed forward.

(A sixth bar passes the screen.)

"Submit!" Atlas jumped up, pointed the sword down, and drove it into the ground with his foot. Luckily, Megaman had rolled away and used Juggernaut Fist again.

(Atlas' Health)

None

Zero beamed down as Atlas stumbled backwards. "Not bad… for rookies." He twisted something in his helmet and began talking. "Congratulations, Mega City. Your hero has won."

On the ground, everyone began cheering as Atlas chuckled. The cheering slowed to a stop as everyone turned to the large screen in the city as the base was projected.

"However, there is one thing he's overlooked. I have his battle data, along with the battle data of every Robot Master alive. It is with this data that King, my latest creation, knew about the 'Day of Judgment'."

Atlas chuckled weakly. "Though I may have been defeated…" Something on the front of the rocket-like thing in the center of the base began spinning. "…I will still succeed, even in loss. The 'Day of Judgment' has arrived…"

In the slightest of seconds, the base collapsed as the rocket broke free and began moving towards the planet. "Once this rocket reaches the surface of your planet, it will burrow to the core where the nuclear reactor in the center of the rocket will explode, blowing your planet to Hell. Enjoy your last few minutes of life…"

Next time: Megaman uses the Rage Chip and something miraculous happens.
