Mega Man X Chaos
Chapter 8
"Launch in five minutes. All personnel report to launch positions. Intended target: Washington D.C." A voice announced over the intercom.
X's eyes widened. They were going to launch a nuke at the United States capital? It was the second largest city in the world! Only New York was larger… D.C. had over three million people residing in just one district! He had to stop them…
Zero jumped over a maverick and slashed behind him. "Launch in five minutes…"
Axl was forced into a corridor swarming with Mavericks. It reminded him of the last time something like that had happened… He grinned. Maybe the Mavericks were as stupid as Sigma's He aimed at the ceiling and fired a barrage at the tiles above a Maverick. The tiles fell on the Maverick and Axl jumped on top of the tiles. He then jumped to the next floor. Sure he was going back up but... he needed a better way to get in… "Launch in five minutes…"
X charged his buster and fired at the oncoming hoard of Mavericks. The blast obliterated ten Mavericks at once. He still hadn't lost his touch… The Mavericks began to fire laser shots at him. There was no space between the attacks… He frowned before he activated 'time stop'. He fired at the wall and used the space he created as a way to protect himself from the eminent attack. He deactivated 'Time Stop' and the laser attack flew past him. He swung his left arm out and fired at the Mavericks.
"X if I am reading this correctly there is a central energy system. If you destroy that all the base's functions will be deactivated! It isn't too far from you either. It is just one floor below you."
"Thanks, Alia. I owe you yet again."
"Anything for you X."
X smiled she really was the best. A shot flew by him and that reminded him that he still had more than a few enemies to take out. He rolled out into the hall and fired his X-buster's charged attack. The explosion from the front line of Mavericks caused a chain reaction. Moments later, the hallway was cleared of enemies. He began to sprint to the stairs leading to the floor below….
"Master there is a disturbance at the nuclear missile base 3205."
"Have Nighthawk engage the problem."
"Nighthawk himself sir?"
"Yes. Do not underestimate the opposition… It consists of that 'hybrid' and Blitzkrieg…"
X fired his X-buster at the energy core.
"X you will need to use your saber…" Alia told him.
"Thanks!" X drew his saber and slashed at the core as quickly as he could. He counted the number of attacks as he went… 10…50…100…1000…10000…
"One minute to launch…"
"Thirty seconds to launch…"
"Ten seconds…"
10000… the core sparked and then exploded.
"Five,…ou….."
"Not bad X!"
"Who are you?" X demanded.
"I am Nighthawk. A commanding officer in the MHRB. You have disrupted a training session for the MHRB's Elite combat forces."
"Didn't sound like any 'training session' I have ever heard."
"Well... we do things a little different than the Maverick Hunters do. We force or units to undergo many stressful situations and attempt to stop the problem."
"Too bad for you Nighthawk but, Blitzkrieg has reason to believe that this is in fact a nuclear weapons base."
"What proof do you have?" Nighthawk demanded.
"Zero?" X put his voice over the audio speaker system.
"This is Zero."
"Are you at the target?"
"Yes I am X."
"Any nukes?"
"At least fifty are here X."
"Thank you."
"No problem. I will disable these nukes and head on to the next target point. Over and out."
"You were saying Nighthawk?"
"It means little X. You are considered a Maverick and you are hated by all of the citizens on the Planet! You have lost already."
"Too bad for you that I don't know the meaning of 'lose'." X replied in a taunting voice.
Maybe he could make Nighthawk do something foolish…
"You will regret those words X. You will die here and now!"
The Maverick charged towards X…
WHAT IS X DOING!?!? HE IS ENGAGING A MHRB COMMANDING OFFICER? (MAVERICK HUNTER REGULATION BOARD) WHY DO THEY EVEN HAVE TROOPS ANYHOW? WEIRD... THIS IS GARDIAN X WITH ANOTHER ADDITION TO MEGA MAN X CHAOS.
