Chapter VIII
Fear The White (And Black) Knight
(Warioland 4 (GBA) - Toxic Landfill begins playing)
Everyone was enjoying a small festival being held near the lake, not knowing that all hell was to break loose seconds later. "'scuse me! Comin' through!" The Robot Master ran into the crowd as a motorcycle was heard. "Crap, people. Fine, looks like I'll have to take on Megaman sooner than expected. No matter, though."
Ready
Zero revved them motorcycle and began driving down the street, people gained shocked expressions as he rode by. "Come on, douchebag. You're mine." Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of him. "Wanna bet, dillhole?"
Zero drew his saber and swung at Negative Man while swerving to miss obstacles. The figure opened up and let the saber whiz through him. Zero tossed it to his other hand and swung with that one. Again, he missed.
He hit a handicap ramp and rode high into the air as the figure zipped off. He returned as Zero landed and blew a raspberry. Zero growled and hit another ramp. This time, he let it fly off into the crowd as they scrambled away. He rolled when he hit the ground and he watched the black figure zip into a body of some sort.
(Warioland 4 (GBA) - Toxic Landfill fades out)
Warning!
"Negative, sir!" The body activated and stood up. "Negative Man at your service, dillhole!" Zero said nothing, but motioned for Negative Man to 'bring it'. "A man who gets to the point. I'm liking you already. Too bad that won't long!" Negative Man's body then fell to the ground as the black form returned. "Picture perfect!"
(Megaman ZX (Nintendo DS) - Boss Battle begins playing)
(Negative Man's Health)
----------------------------------------
(A gray bar passes the screen as Negative Man's black face appears.)
"Let's dance!" As Negative Man dashed forward, Zero quickly analyzed Negative Man's form. Zero thrust the saber forward and Negative Man's body was nearly torn in half due to the electricity.
(A second bar passes the screen.)
"Argh!" Negative Man growled and retreated into his body. Zero used Power Surge again, but Negative Man laughed as the attack did nothing to him.
(A third bar passes the screen.)
"Can't hurt me!" Negative Man laughed reached his hands into the air. "Stop being so pessimistic!" Negative Man thrust his hands down and launched his negative form into Zero, who then was lifted into the ground and smashed back down into the ground.
Zero stood up and used Power Surge. Again, Negative Man coursed with energy. This time, Zero dashed over and hit him again before he could retreat into his body.
(A fourth bar passes the screen.)
"Oh no!" Negative Man panicked and dove for his body, but was knocked back by another Power Surge. "It can't end like this! Noooooooooo…." Negative Man faded into nothing, leaving behind a confused Zero.
(Negative Man's Health)
None
(Megaman ZX (Nintendo DS) - Boss Battle fades out)
Zero got knocked onto his face when the body behind him suddenly exploded. "What the…" Zero then started as he sensed something. "Okay, now I'm confused big time…"
(Megaman X2 (SNES) - Boss Beaten plays)
You got Negative Flare!
(Zero beams down as enemies appear in a haphazard pattern. Zero throws his arm down and everything becomes inverted for a second before the color reverts back to normal and the enemies explode.)
Ready
Zero beamed inside a large, floating base and he began running down the hallway. "The old man's base no doubt." He entered the first room as a doppelganger of Negative Man turned to face him. "Not again."
(ZX Tunes - Rockin' On begins playing)
(A.N. Like Trap Factory, Rockin' On is the remixed tune of the boss battle from the ZX Tunes CD.)
(Negative Man's Health)
----------------------------------------
Zero used Power Surge as soon as Negative Man popped out of his body, causing it to fly backwards. Zero threw the body onto the other side of the room and used Power Surge twice more and waited as Negative Man faded into nothing. This time, he stayed far away from the body as it exploded.
(Negative Man's Health)
None
A small machine of sort flew from the body and landed at Zero's feet. He bent over, ripped open the machine, and withdrew the information from the center.
Negative Man
Height: 4' 10"
Weight: 114 lbs.
Color Scheme:
Main - Black
Secondary - White
Power: n/a
Background: A Robot Master created by Wily to destroy Megaman. Though his abilities are not as developed as Flash Man or Time Man, he can split the space/ time continuum open for very short periods of times. He is usually in his negative, yet vulnerable form. Thus, his shell must by carried to his next destination. If he is in this form too long, the continuum closes up on him, deleting him from existence. If his negative form is destroyed, his shell is programmed to self-destruct. His shell is invincible and cannot be scratched.
"Well, this explains a lot." Zero exited the room and entered the next room, where Swift Man awaited.
(Swift Man's Health)
------------------------------
Zero analyzed Swift Man, got knocked down by a swift attack, then used Titan Strike. The tremor caused Swift Man to stumbled, allowing Zero to slash him. As Swift Man got up, Zero used it again and followed that up with his rage chip.
Giga Attack
Relentless Rage
Zero then charged his buster and blasted Swift Man into the wall, taking the data after the explosion.
(Swift Man's Health)
None
Swift Man
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 152 lbs.
Color Scheme:
Main - Red
Secondary - Black
Power: Speed
Background: A prototype robot created by Dr. Flockhart. Designed after Quick Man, he can come close to breaking the sound barrier just by jogging. He hates being forced to take things slow, thus usually makes critical errors in battle. However, he quickly comes up with backup strategies. He can think faster than any Robot Master in existence.
"Figures." Zero entered the next room, where Surge Man awaited. "Okay, let's get this over with."
(Surge Man's Health)
------------------------------
Zero scanned the doppelganger and used Swift Striker, creating a trail of electricity which was taken from Surge Man's body. Zero used it again when Surge Man stood up and then he unleashed two charged buster shots.
Giga Attack
Relentless Rage
"Easy, easy, easy!" Zero's rage chip came close to its' maximum maturity level, causing Zero to have a surge of power and speed. This time, a barrage of buster shots were fired, then one massive blade that cut Surge Man in half was launched from the saber.
(Surge Man's Health)
None
Surge Man
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Color Scheme:
Main - Purple
Secondary - Yellow
Power: Energy
Background: A Robot Master created by Wily to destroy Megaman. By harnessing energy, he can unleash powerful blasts from his body or dash forward swiftly. Sometimes, if enough energy is absorbed, he gains the momentum of Juggernaut Man.
"Come on. Come on. Let's go!" Zero eagerly jumped into the next room where Titan Man awaited.
(Titan Man's Health)
------------------------------------------------------------
After a prompt scan, Zero used Negative Flare, an attack so powerful that Titan Man's feet were swept from under him. "Death! Maim! Destruction!" Zero unleashed another wave of buster shots before slashing Titan Man wildly, then kicking him away.
Using another Negative Flare, Titan Man fell forward and was impaled through the head with Zero's saber. He began cackling evilly as Titan Man exploded, but he managed to regain control over himself long enough to grab his data.
(Titan Man's Health)
None
Titan Man
Height: 7' 2"
Weight: 333 lbs.
Color Scheme:
Main - Dark Green
Secondary - Rusted Brown
Power: n/a
Background: The second evolutionary robot created by Dr. Flockhart. Built with a million horsepower strength, he can easily lift the heaviest of objects. However, his dislike of battle usually gets in the way of his judgment and thus causes problems.
"Hahahahaha! Don't know! Don't care! Don't give a shit! Challenge… Need a challenge…" Zero started when he detected another signal and he snickered as he beamed out of the base.
Next time: Zero's rage chip becomes perfect as he begins destroying everything in his path.
