Sorry for not updating for some time. I would've posted this on Friday, but I kept getting a processing error. I forgot to mention that there definitely will be some OOC in this story, especially with Atlas, Thetis, Aeolus, and Siarnaq. I might add VentxAile as a couple, but I'm not sure yet. Anywho, enjoy!
MMZX3: Mega Man ZX Enforcers
A New Breed Of Evil
It had been only a mere three months. The former Sage Trinity member, Master Albert, had been defeated along the insidious Biometal Model W. Since then, there had been no massive threats, but many small threats had been popping up like wildfire. Because of this, the Hunter Base had been deploying units all the time. Among the ranks of the Hunters, two of them had just been called for a special mission.
"Sorry we're late!" A male voice said the transerver room door opened and the two people rushed in.
Their names were Grey and Ashe, and they were the ones who had defeated Master Albert three months. Grey was a Reploid boy who looked about the age of 15. He had short hair, colored a light grayish-blue. He had on the typical blue body suit, with a red armor plate on his chest, an orange torso area, and red shorts. He had bright green eyes and two red cables coming out of his back. Ashe was a human girl, about the same age. She had long ice-blue hair pulled in a ponytail, and her eyes were the same green as Grey's. Her attire was the typical body suit, an orange long-sleeve shirt, and a red headband that kept her hair in the ponytail.
"Glad to see you two could finally make it." Came the voice of the Commander. "This is something big, so we called you. We've got some very unusual activity at a base in the Oil Fields, not to mention a distress signal was received from there."
"So it's our job to see what's going on, and to find who sent the signal, right?" Ashe asked.
"Correct." The Commander said. "This could be dangerous, so make sure Model A is with you."
"Present!" A somewhat childish echoed voice called out. A small object floated out from behind Grey's head. It was Biometal Model A, the very object that helped Grey and Ashe save the world. It was a blue diamond shape with two white triangle shapes on the sides. In the center of the diamond were two pieces of metal; one red, one white; arranged to look like a small face. Above the red metal was a grey circle with a rectangle shape in it, and between the red and white metals were two blue-green eyes.
"Good. Be careful you two." The Commander told them.
"Yes sir!" All three of them shouted, Grey and Ashe saluting. The three of them walked (Model A floated, naturally) over and got on the transerver. A transporter entered the coordinates for the Oil Field Base. Streams of green light came up from the floor, covering the trio. When the lights vanished, all three of them were gone.
Within a few minutes, they had arrived at the Oil Field Base. The building was old and decrepit, and it looked like it was going to cave in.
"Ugh!" Ashe groaned in disgust. "Why did we have to come to this place? It looks nasty!"
Grey chuckled. "The Sewer Facility was worse, so I wouldn't be complaining." He told her. Ashe shuddered as she remembered when she got a mess of slime on her at that place. It took her five showers to get clean.
"Don't remind me." She said. "Let's go." Grey nodded, and they rushed into the base. The inside was no better than the outside. Old broken equipment was littered everywhere, the walls were rusty, and bugs littered the place.
"Good thing you aren't afraid of bugs, or this would be difficult." Grey commented, gesturing to the insects.
"You aren't kidding." The girl replied as they continued.
"Grey, Ashe, hold it!" Model A called out, making both of them stop.
"What's up, Model A?" Grey asked it.
"I'm sensing Biometal signals, a lot of them!" The Biometal said worriedly.
"By 'a lot,' do you mean about four or five?" Ashe inquired.
"More like over 20!" Model A cried. "And they're closing in!" As he said that, a massive door exploded on the other side of the room. The two Model A Biomatches hid behind a massive table as a small troop of soldiers rushed in. They were all clad in silver-colored armor, similar to that of a Mega Man.
"So they're ALL Mega Men?" Grey exclaimed, confused.
"They must be! They're the ones giving off the Biometal signals!" Model A told him.
"Either way, they could make our mission difficult." Ashe stated. "Let's take them down!"
"Right!" Grey said. Both of them stepped out from the table. Model A flew between them, and they each grabbed it in one hand. They held it up into the air, and shouted one single word:
"MEGAMERGE!"
"Biolink established! M.E.G.A. System online!" Came Model A's voice as a blinding light covered the two Biomatches. When it faded, both had identical armors: dark blue armor with red pieces on every part, as well as a light blue body suit, two yellow horns on the helmets, as well the grey circle on Model A adorning the front of the helmets. However, each had something unique: Grey's cables still stuck out from his back, and Ashe's ponytail came out of her helmet.
"Let's do this!" They both yelled. They each pulled out a pair of twin pistols and started firing at the troop. However, the soldiers were able to dodge.
"Destroy all!" The lead soldier shouted. All the soldiers pulled a small grenade and tossed them at the Model A Mega Men.
"Split up!" Grey cried. Both of them dashed in opposite directions, managing to dodge the bombs as they exploded. 'Wow, kinda strong! They must be Mega Men!' Grey thought to himself. He unloaded his pistols on the platoon, cutting down about four of them. 'Not as strong as I thought.' Ashe followed his lead (if there was one), firing off bullets from her guns, destroying a few more of them. The lead soldier turned to face the female Model A Mega Man.
"There!" He shouted, pointing to her. Eight of the soldiers pulled out another bomb and hurled them towards her.
"Oh, crud!" Ashe yelled. However, the bombs entered a purple area that had materialized, each one gaining a crosshair. Then, a laser shot ripped through each of them, causing them to explode harmlessly. Ashe looked left and saw that Grey had used Homing Shot on the grenades to save her. "Thanks for the save!" She called to him.
"No sweat!" Grey yelled back. "Let's finish this!" Both of them jumped in the air and landed in the center of the odd Mega Man platoon. They stood back to back, pistols ready to fire. The symbols on their heads began to glow, sending out a large box that covered the whole troop.
"W-what is this?" The lead soldier cried, obviously worried and scared.
"It's our special move…" Grey began.
"…and your worst nightmare!" Ashe finished.
"Giga Crush!" They shouted together. Waves of bullets erupted from their guns, travelling every way possible. The soldiers couldn't dodge the onslaught, and were cut down by all the bullets. When the attack ceased, only a weakened lead soldier survived. Both of them walked to him. Grey and Ashe looked at each other. Grey gained a smirk on his face.
"Ladies first." He said politely. Ashe gained a smirk as well as she pointed one of her pistols at the leader and shot him one last time. Oddly, when he died, his corpse became covered in light. When it faded, his armor was gone, and a small metal square lay next to him. The two Mega Men De-Megamerged, and Ashe picked up the square. It was silver in color, and it bulged out in the center. On the bulge were two small green Biometal eyes.
"What the heck is this?" Ashe asked.
"I don't know, but let's keep moving." Grey told her. Ashe gave him the square, and he put it in his pocket. They continued searching the base, but they found nothing. Soon, they exited the base through another exit.
"This is weird." Grey mused. "We get a distress signal from this place, but when we get here, we get attacked by a group of odd Mega Men and the signal-sender is nowhere to be found!"
"Why do I get the feeling that this was a trap?" Ashe asked him. Before Grey could answer, however, the sand around them started churning. Then, a massive Mechaniloid shot out from underground. It looked like a massive snake. It had a head with a black top, a dark purple mouth, and three disc-shaped segments. Each had a purple crystal in the center.
"Whoa!" Grey exclaimed. "Is that the Desert Aspis?" He and Ashe had fought a similar Mechaniloid during their first trip in the Oil Fields, before they fought Atlas, the Flame Mega Man.
"I think, but it looks different." Ashe said. "*gasp* Watch out!" The gems on the Mechaniloid's body turned black, and the head fired out a black energy beam at them. They managed to barely dodge it. "Okay, it never did that before!"
"Let's crush this thing!" Grey shouted. The two of them Megamerged again to fight. "Remember Ashe, aim for the head!" Ashe nodded, and the two of them rushed toward the giant snake. They fired off shots from their blasters, striking the head and doing damage. However, the Aspis didn't take it sitting down. It dove back under the sands, keeping itself hidden. It soon rose back up from underneath Ashe, flinging her into the air. As she fell, it opened its maw, as if it was trying to eat her.
"Oh, no you don't!" Grey yelled to the serpent. He rushed toward it and hopped onto the edge of its opened mouth, jumping off after he landed. He turned a gun to it and fired a single shot down its gullet before catching Ashe in mid-air. The blue-haired girl blushed at how heroic he was being. The two of them landed on the ground, and Grey set Ashe down. He went to turn and face her, but he soon felt her lips on his left cheek. Both of them blushed madly.
"My hero." Ashe said.
"Heh heh, it was nothing." Grey replied, embarrassed, placing a hand behind his head.
The moment was broken by a loud screech coming from the Aspis. Both Mega Men turned to see the snake convulsing from the single shot. It began crackling with electricity, and soon exploded.
"What WAS that thing?" Ashe asked.
"That was a new breed of evil." An unknown voice spoke.
Not bad for a first chapter, eh? You'll find out who the mysterious person is in the next chapter.
