Chapter 7: Zero The Slayer

            Zero grains his strength and charges his buster causing a wind tunnel, slugging the jet bikes down.  Blues trying to catch up with X however his bike is starting to move backwards so he jumps up off the jet bike, it flies back at towards Zero's buster, and air dashes but get sucked back towards Zero's buster too, "Brother!!!" Blues shouts but X is too far away.

Zero uses his other hand to smack the oncoming jet bike down and at that moment grabs Blues, "Scream worm…"

Hours later at Cujo the reploids arrive. "Where's Kain?" Blueberg asks the others.

"I thought he was behind you" Rife answered.

"Should we wait?" another reploid asks.

"Good ideal, Max." Blueberg answered.

"Has anyone ever been to Cujo before?" Rife asks the group.

"Yea, once on vacation" Max replied.

"Hey everyone I think I see Kain." Blueberg claims. Xiel and X almost at Cujo.

"That's not Kain, it's Shadow X! Ready your guns men" Rife commanded and so they did not knowing that it's not Shadow X. "Fire on my mark." Rife tells Max to go to the Maverick Hunter outlet in Cujo and warn them. Max runs into the Maverick Hunter outlet.

"Hunters! We need help! Every…one of you" Max only sees one huntress in the outlet.

"Don't underestimate me I happen to be a class-freelance huntress, Sarah Maxis Ligh…"the huntress tells Max.

"Whatever hurry a very strong maverick is headed this way" Max interrupts.

"Fire!" Rife commands and the reploids starts firing at X and Xiel.

"Wh-what the hell are they doing?" Xiel speculates as X trying his hardest to dodge the blasts. "They must still think you're Shadow X." Max and Sarah arrive at the front.

"That isn't a maverick, its Mega Man X leader of unit 01…morons." Sarah claims.

"He has been infected with the shadow virus." Rife explains.

"Hey bro!" Blues appears next to the jet bike going the same speed.

"Bro?" X questions Blues but suddenly gets hit by one of the blasts and the jet bike flings both X and Xiel next to the group of reploids. Blues stops not far from them and not far from the horizon Zero floats, with a purple glow, towards them.

"Stop!" Xiel begs the reploids and explains to them about what happen with the virus.

"Who are you" X directed his attention to Sarah

"I am Sarah Maxis Light, maverick hunter class-Freelance" Sarah flips her medium long brown hair and does a 360 turn, unzips her light blue jacket to reveal an off-white body armor. She then takes off her falcon shaped helmet and looks to X.

"Show-off" Xiel said under her breath.

"Wait…Light…as in Doctor Tomas Light?" X asked Sarah.

"Ye-s he's my Farther, do you know him?" She answered.

"So how I'm not surprised, well…no I read about him in books." X responded.

"Everyone get ready for the battle at hand" X commands them. Xiel gets out her dual blasters; Sarah takes off her light blue jacket and readies her two sabers. A heavy storm sets in, as Zero & Blues get closer. It starts to rain hard as the reploids takes cover in Cujo's city walls. X looks up and sees Zero floating there. X starting to get worried jumps on the city wall and kicks off of it to get high enough to reach Zero and grabs his leg and slings him to the ground. Blues dashes to run over Xiel but she flips over him and Sarah slices down at him and spins hitting him with her saber as Xiel lands she is shooting Blues constantly. X air dashes down towards Zero but gets interrupted by Zero jumping up, upper cutting X and he falls to the ground Zero readies his darken saber. Xiel, with Sarah's help, picks up Blues and they throw him at Zero knocking him down. Xiel picks up and tosses X Zero's saber that fell from his hands. X catches it hand readies it as he gaining his footing again.

"Shit…" Zero spoke as he stands. X slashes the saber towards Zero but He dodges still cutting some of his hair and it also strikes Blues slicing across his feet, body and arm. Xiel catches Blues before he could fall from the hit and drags him a ways and sits on top of him.

"Hi, we are gunna play a game called 'Don't Piss Off Xiel' ok?" Xiel explained as she places her dual guns either side of Blues' head. Sarah slashes Zero but he jumps over it she then turns and slashes with her other saber but he duck as X slices him upwards.

"Starting to piss me off" Xiel places her fingers on the triggers of her guns.
