Chapter 8: Just The Beginning

Zero extends his arms and X gets surrounded by a purple flame and forces him into the city's wall. Sarah jumps up and pierces Zero, cutting his left arm off. Zero grabs his left shoulder where his arm uses to be.

"Wait" Blues coughs. "I'll tell you anything…"

"Why are you with Sigma?" Xiel questions him.

"He…he found me…"Blues spoke weakly, "I last thing I remember is, I was fighting my brother   -cough- and then I awoke in a capsule in a cave… Sigma said I could get revenge…I didn't know what he was talking about but then he explained what happen in my last battle"

"Your brother?" Xiel asked

"Yes…" Blues takes a deep breath, "Megaman…"

"As in Megaman X?" Xiel wonders but Blues closes his eyes and stops breathing.

"Hey, reploids " Xiel talks though her comlinx to Rife and the reploids, "Get Blues, I want him alive, now."

"I only need one arm." Zero smirks as he jumps towards Sarah and kicks one of her sabers away and bend her other arm so the saber is under her neck.

"Let her go, Zero." X slides off the indent of the wall back on the ground. Fog starts to set in, Xiel rejoins X.

"What is he doing?" Xiel asks X.

"I don't know" X answers as Zero turns his head as if he can't see anything. "He…can't use Zero's radar." X grins.

"So…what do we do?" Xiel asks.

"Distract him" X commanded as he makes a wide circle around Zero. "Sorry, Zero…" X charges the darken saber and dashes towards Zero's back and slashes across his back rendering him motionless, releasing Sarah unharmed.

"This was a dark day in history" Xiel comments.

"C'mon, let's get him out of here." X orders. X helps Sarah stand. All three of them help Zero into Cujo.

Minutes later…

"X…" Xiel taps X on the shoulder, X turns to Xiel "Blues said that he is your brother…"

X starts to run to the medical center.

"Is Zero going to be ok?" Sarah asks Blueberg.

"Yes, a full recovery, " Blueberg looks up as the sun moves from the dark clouds. "it's a new day."

X enters the room that Blues is in, "Blues…" X looks around to see no one. "Damn…"

Meanwhile back at the old city.

Black liquid flows though a tube, the shadow virus, and into Sigma's body. "Those fools…hahahah"

"Master Sigma…I think you're ready…" Blues stands near Sigma.

"No…not yet go Blues be my eyes and ears in the Maverick HQ" Sigma stands and the tubes break off. "Be gone." Blues bows.

"Zero" X enter Zero's medical room. "Glad you're back, you scare us back there."

"Hey, you scared us first, I was just getting to back " Zero said jokingly.

"Hey X come quickly Rife wants us." Xiel tells X

"Ok" X responds.

"X, I'm freelance…" Zero tells X.

"What?" X surprised. "Don't decide till I get back" X leaves to go to Rife.

"What you need?" X questions Rife.

"I have bad news and worst news, Sigma escape and well the virus…. it still in Zero."

"Then why?" X looks back at the room Zero is in.

"I'm also guessing this is just the beginning." Xiel comments.

Hours later…

Zero gets up from the medical bed and hears a noise and walks to the doorway and then turns around to an Iris on the bed "What?" Zero wakes up in the bed and sighs "Iris…"

"What?" a girl standing the doorway asks.

The End…?
