Zero's p.o.v.

I kept walking away from the cave. I didn't feel any regret or remorse for leaving the kid alone to die. If anything, I felt satisfaction. My conscience was yelling at me for having that feeling. What was wrong with me!?

"Axl to X and Zero, come in. Marianne and I found a cave, and I think I heard Mega Man's voice. I'll put a signal here so you can find it. You two had better hurry up, or I might steal the action all for myself."

"We'll be there," X said. "Try not to hurt anyone if you can."

"I can't make any promises."

"... I'll be there," I said.

I got to the beacon point right when X did.

"Good, you're here. Let's see if we can find him."

He dashed into the cave.

"... That other Mega Man can die for all I care," I said as I slowly followed him. "And I care very little."

What was I saying? Why did I suddenly want this boy dead? That wasn't like me at all.

Mother's p.o.v.

I was beginning to hate Zero. Why didn't he care about Mega Man? What did he ever do to him?

So anyway, I was put in a stage where you could only play as X and Zero. I entered a room and gasped at the site. Axl was holding an unconscious (how many times have I wrote that in this fic?) Marianne, both were bleeding. X's text box popped up.

"Axl! What the hell happened here!?"

"That thing," he said, out of breath, "it..." He passed out before he could say anything else.

"Axl!"

Jumping onto the ground from the ceiling was a robotic panther. A fight started. Now would be a good time to say what weapons X got.

From Stein Kong he got the ability to shoot multiple giant ass rocks.

From Soldier Spider, he got the ability to shoot an actual spider out, and the spider would eat off a chunk of enemy health.

From Death Seaking, he got the ability to shoot a torpedo.

From Forest Wolf, he could shoot out a wolf that would run into people and take away another chunk of their health.

From Rocket Parrot, he got a Parrot Rocket. That's pretty much what it sounds like.

From Steel Rhino, he got the ability to shoot a Rhinoceros that would stomp on an enemy, taking out a huge chunk of health.

From Aura Dragon, he got a flame thrower with blue flames.

Needless to say, he was very OP, and I only needed him to take out the mini boss.

After the fight, his text box popped up.

"Axl, Marianne, are you two okay?"

"Aheh heh... I think our wounds speak for us," Axl moaned.

"Damn it," Zero growled. "Come on, X, let's find that slut and snap her neck. You and Marianne try getting back to base."

"A-alright..."

After X exited the room, the door suddenly closed behind him, cutting him and the others off.

"ZERO! AXL!"

"X! Go on ahead, I'll meet you up there!"

"Alright. Catch up soon."

After at least two minutes of walking and energy collecting, X came into a boss room. To my surprise, the one waiting for him was Classic Mega Man.

"Mega Man!" X cried happily. "Thank goodness you're alright!"

"... Poline's plan has failed, I see," he said. "But her plan for me hasn't. Her plan was to make me stronger, so I could have my revenge against the Light family. But it turns out, I don't need that. The one I want revenge against is right here."

"Huh? You're going to kill me? Have you gone Maverick!?"

"I don't know what a Maverick is. Nothing has happened to me, except I am way stronger now. My father tried to replace me with you, but I'll show him he didn't need to."

"Mega Man, I never wanted to replace-"

"Can it, fag. I'll show you... I'll show everyone...! I AM THE ONLY MEGA MAN!"

I was put into a boss fight.

Mega Man was actually pretty easy. Most of the fight, he was just charging up his Buster, leaving him open for attack. But he also sometimes shot special weapons that were from the classic series, which did quite a bit of damage. But overall, he was pretty easy, and X took him out in a few minutes.

X's p.o.v.

I didn't hurt him enough for him to die, his armor was just broken, and a bit of electricity was running along his arm.

I walked up to him. I actually felt my heart split in two when I saw him crying.

"What's wrong with me?" he sobbed. "Even with new power given to me by a slut, I'm still not strong enough to be the best design for Mega Man. I'm just the sloppy first try that didn't work..."

I bent down next to him and picked him up.

"Hey," I said, "you put up a good fight. I never wanted to replace you, Dr. Light wanted to replace you. I didn't even know you existed until earlier today. But, now that I know I have a brother, I'm actually really happy. So, instead of competing to see who's the best Mega Man..." I felt myself blush a bit. "How about we be what we are? Brothers?"

He looked up to me.

"I just tried to kill you, and you want to be my family?"

"No. I want YOU to be MY family. So please?"

He rolled over onto my lap.

"I guess I would like a brother," he whispered. "My other brother was evil, and tried to kill me multiple times."

"Ha ha, sounds like an abusive relationship."

"Shut up."

"Ha ha ha!"

He looked up at me and smiled.

"Fine, humor me. I'll give you a shot, Mega Man X."

I whiped his eyes.

"Call me X."

A macanaloid broke through the ceiling.

"What the fu-"

"HEY!" It grabbed Classic. "Put me down! Put me DOWN!"

Poline came out of the macanaloid and laughed.

"Now that he's stronger, I can use him for the bomb."

"Bomb? What bomb!?"

"Just in case my plan for you to turn everyone into a Maverick failed, I devised a back-up plan where I would use Classic Mega Man's power to create a bomb that'll whipe out humans and Reploids. With me being protected, of course."

"Let me go!"

"Try to stop me, X. No, really, I want a challange. I'll be waiting for you and the other two Maverick Hunters in a park called Linkon Park, meet me and Mega Man there."

I tried to shoot it, but it hopped out of the building before I could.

"MEGA MAN!" I cried. I fell on my knees and punched the ground. "No matter what," I growled, "I'll save you...!"

Zero's p.o.v.

We went back to base first to give Axl and Marianne repairs. X and I were waiting outside the repair room.

"You think you can save the kid without destroying him along with the bomb?" I asked.

"I don't know," he said, "but I'll try."

"You can't do it without killing him," I said. "It doesn't matter, he dies either way, you're gonna have to pull the trigger."

"I'll find a way to help him without killing him."

"I know you don't like it, but it's either he dies, or he dies with everyone else!"

"No one's gonna die!"

"You barely even know this kid! Didn't he blast a hole in your chest earlier? What do you care what happens to him!?"

"He's my brother."

"Well you were my brother first!"

We were both quiet for what felt like an eternity. The second they left my mouth, I realized how stupid and sudden my words were. I was embarrased, and felt incredibly stupid.

"I-I'm sorry," I said as I took a step backwards. "I'm sorry, I-I don't know where that came from."

"Zero-"

"No, no. Go ahead, try to rescue him. Stay true to your biological family."

I turned around and folded my arms. I didn't want to look at him, I didn't want that conversation to continue. ... But of course, he continued it.

"Didn't you hear my goodbye message?"

"Huh? Yeah, I heard it."

"... Did you not hear the P.S.?"

"P.S.? Uh, no, I got pissed and stormed off before I could."

"Do you still have the recorder?"

"Yeah," I said as I held it up.

He smiled.

"You can listen to the P.S. when you're ready."

I looked at him for a second, then at the recorder.

About an hour later, Axl was finally repaired, and we immediately headed for 'Linkon Park' on some old Chaser Bikes. Remember those? Yeah, me neither. During the ride, I looked down at the recorder. Curious what his P.S. was, I pressed play.

Classic's p.o.v.

I struggled to get out of its grip, but to no avail.

"Let me go! Let me go you son of a-"

It shoved me into the bomb shell.

"Timer set to forty five minutes," Poline said. She walked over and chuckled at me. "You fool, I can't believe you believed my bullshit story of Dr. Light replacing you with Mega Man X."

"What?"

"You really think that old fool would replace you? He loves you. He was creating X... because he thought you could use a better big brother than Proto Man." She smirked and grabbed the lid to the shell. "I deactivated you because you were no longer needed in this world. But now you're going to die, so it doesn't matter. Goodbye, Mega Man."

"You... slut...!"

Zero's p.o.v.

I gripped the recorder. Uncontrolable tears fell on the recorder as well as my hand. Yes, I know, I was being a complete dork.

I almost crashed the bike into a sign, but luckily I looked up in time to see it and made a quick turn.

I looked up and saw X's bike catching up to mine. With one swipe of my hand, my eyes were dry.

"X," I said with a smirk, "let's go get your bother back."
