Protoman was still confused about where he was. He was also worried about the trouble Bass could be causing elsewhere. "Just where am I anyway?" He thought to himself. He dropped down his Proto-Coil & lept on it to reach the top branch of a tall tree to get a better view. Protoman sighed & looked across the land, only half paying attention to his surrondings. "Those winds..." He thought, "That explosion. Are they connected?" Protoman looked down & nearly fell out of the tree. Unless he was mistaken... He'd just seen his little "brother" Megaman. "Hmm..." Protoman rubbed a hand on his chin. "That does look like Rock. There's a few differences though." Protoman climbed down the tree being careful not to make a sound then quickly dived into some bushes. He crept around so he could see the front of the Megaman Look-A-Like & almost let out a gasp of suprise.
"Impossible" He thought to himself, "He hasn't been released yet!"
Protoman was thinking about the robot Dr. Light was working on everytime he visited the lab, a robot that looked like an upgraded version of Megaman, dubbed, Megaman X. The red prototype needed to work out was going on. So the best option was to secretly tail X.
Bass was still touring the city, "It's strange." He thought, "Normally people freak out upon seeing me, but these people act as though I'm just an everyday Robot. Which I'm not." Bass sighed then just blasted some rapid fire shots into the air to relieve some boredom.
The Red Robot with the Ponytail hair was still tailing Bass at this point, upon seeing Bass's ability to fire in a direction other than a straight line & his rapid fire made the Robot think. "Why does this Reploid remind me of Axl...?" He thought. Suddenly a beeping sound in his ear snapped the bot out of his thoughts. He flicked his conumicator on & growled slightly, "Not now X!"
"Sorry Zero." The voice on the other end repilied, "Didn't know you were doing something important."
Zero sighed, Damn straight X, Damn straight. "I'm tracking a Reploid, I couldn't get any data on him; so I think he's a Maverick."
"Is there any need to jump to conclusions Zero?"
"Just doing my job X. Although something about this one makes some old data pop up in my mind. I swear I've seen him before somewhere."
"Either that or you have a few wires loose Zero."
X laughed at his own joke but Zero frowned, "Did I mention he has abilites like Axl does?"
X shut up at this, "Like Axl?"
"Yes. He can rapid fire & isn't limited to firing in a straight line."
"Hmm..."
"Catch ya later X." Zero hung up & looked up.
Straight into the barrel of Bass's Forte-Buster...
Cliffhanger! =-)
