MMZX3: Mega Man ZX Enforcers

Chapter 18: Unexpected Help

*Model D's Castle*

"What do you MEAN they got away?!" Model D yelled into a visual, startling Forrest and Shade on the other end.

"It ain't our fault! They must've seen us coming by a mile away!" Forrest griped.

"Oh, don't pull that stunt! You know it was because you stepped on that twig!" Shade yelled at him.

Forrest got in Shade's face. "You lookin' ta start somethin', Horn Hair?!"

"Only if you're willin' ta finish it, Salad Brain!" Shade shot back. The two growled at each other, lightning goes between their eyes.

"KNOCK IT OFF!" Model D roared, startling the two Model E Mega Men. "I hired you two to work together, not kill each other!" Forrest and Shade shot a last glare at each other. "Listen! I've got wind of another Mega Man in Kyuubrrr's vicinity! Do what you can to stall them!"

"Fine, fine! Don't chew our heads off!" Forrest griped. Shade threw a smoke ball at their feet, and Model D dispelled the visual.

*Another Area*

Another smoke bomb went off, and Forrest and Shade emerged. All of a sudden, the Gray Mega Man began shivering. "Holy crap! It's c-c-cold out here!"

"Are your smoke bombs b-busted?!" Forrest griped.

"Either that, or this is where Model D wanted us to go!" Shade replied. Then, he noticed something in the snow. He picked it up, finding it to be a hexagonal-shaped object colored red. "Hmm… this is weird." He contacted Model D.

"What is it?" The dark Biometal asked, annoyed.

"Whaddya make of this thing? I found it lying in the snow." Shade showed him the object.

Model D made Thomas's eyes widen. 'It can't be… How did it end up there?' It wondered. 'Then again… this factors greatly into my plan.' Model D chuckled. "Deliver that to Kyuubrrr. I'm certain he'll be able to use it. I'll send you coordinates to his location." The transmission was cut out, and data flowed to the Green and Gray Mega Men through their Biometals.

"Might as well get this done! I'm freezing out here!" Forrest complained, and the two Mega Men took off.

After a while, they came to the area that the coordinates indicated. The Mega Men looked around before Shade spotted something kneeling in the area. It was some robot. "Yo! You Kyuubrrr?"

A red eye opened on whatever it was. "It depends on who's asking… Ah, you are Model E Mega Men. What do you want?"

"Model D told us to give ya this." Shade threw Kyuubrrr the hexagonal object, and the Pseudoroid caught it without disturbing its stance.

Kyuubrrr examined the object. "Very good… I will make great use of this." He gripped the object, covering it with ice. "If that is all you need… you may leave."

"Ya don't need to tell us twice! Shade, get us out of here!" The Green Mega Man complained.

"All right, already!" The Gray Mega Man replied, throwing a smoke bomb at their feet, warping them out.

Kyuubrrr moved his arm back into his stance, sensing someone else in the area. "If you want this object… you will have to fight for it. Come to me… if you dare."

*Back at the Hunter's Camp*

"Well done, everyone." The Commander said once the team had retreated.

"Something doesn't seem right." Grey said.

"What do you mean, Grey?" Ashe asked.

"The Pseudoroids… The things they're doing don't even seem to be related to each other. Were they part of an overall plan… or is Model D tricking us into doing its bidding?"

"That's something I don't wanna think about." Taylor said, shuddering a bit.

"The only thing that can be done for now is to keep destroying if any show up." Siarnaq said. "If they are doing things that are part of something big, the sooner we destroy them, the better. Everyone nodded in response.

"We still haven't located Aile or Vent, but we're still looking." The Commander told them. "Take a well-earned break after that incident. Everyone nodded.

*Outside the Main Room*

Aeolus was wandering around the Hunter's Camp, away from the others. Grey, Ashe, Thetis, and Siarnaq were busy training with each other in their normal forms, Siarnaq saying it was in case they didn't have their Biometals. He didn't know where Taylor and Atlas were, but based on the way Atlas were giggling, he assumed they were going to have some alone time. Aeolus rolled his eyes. 'Hard to believe that same girl was once at odds with almost everyone on the planet.' He thought. The Wind Mega Man found a precipice on the outskirts of the Camp and stood at it, looking out onto the horizon. His element blew through his hair, the sun making his sky blue eyes gleam. "Is it possible for us to defeat Model D?"

"We can only hope, but without Models X and Z, we stand no chance." Model H replied.

"Times are indeed grave…" A soft voice said. Female. Aeolus turned to see a young female Reploid with long green hair, shaped into three pointed fringes in the front (her Reploid symbol barely visible behind one), standard silver earpieces, and red eyes. Her outfit was relatively simple: Standard bodysuit, and a white top with a yellow collar that divided itself from a lower part that resembled a dress, the upper part of the top and the lower part of the dress being light blue. Besides her was a male Reploid, either the same age or slightly older with the same red eyes, and long and wild cyan hair in a mullet style, being very spiky in the front, two prominent fringes in the front that curled to the sides, leaving his Reploid mark easily visible. He also wore a standard bodysuit, but most of the legs of it were either a light gray or eggshell white. He had on a jacket-like top that was purple and lined with red, no bottoms, and two pouches at his hips.

"Those two seem familiar." Model H mused.

"Who are you?" Aeolus asked.

"Remind me why we're doing this again." The male Reploid asked the girl.

The girl seemed to ignore him. "You may not recognize us like this… but we have another form." The girl pulled out what looked a gold hexagon-shaped artifact, a gap in the top section, a raised part in the middle, two red circles, and two spikes on the bottom edges. There was a hole in the bottom of the center, however.

"What is that?" Aeolus wondered.

"It's a Biometal… our own type of Biometal." The Reploid boy said, pulling out a dark gray object with a vaguely C-shaped design, a blue circle, and a hole in the bottom. "Check it!" The boy moved his hand down the side of the object past the hole causing a long handle to emerge. He twirled the staff and planted the handle into the ground. "MEGAMERGE!" His body was covered by purple and red lights, almost like a transerver, and the image skull appeared over him. The lights were slashed away by the object from before, which now bore a cyan laser scythe blade. The Reploid himself was now clad in gray, purple, and red armor, a helmet fashioned similar to a skull on his head.

The girl then held her Biometal in front of her chest, moving her arms away from it as it began to float. Her body levitated as the object spun and glowed, a handle forming from the hole, the yellow object moving away from its position as the handle unfolded. "MEGAMERGE…" The girl suddenly crossed her arms, and her body was then surrounded by blue and green lights, odd energy waves traveling along them. The lights and waves were dispelled from the girl's body as she shot her arms to the sides, gripping the object, now some kind of staff. Her body was now clad in white and light blue armor, her head clad in a helmet with an egg shape to it, a red jewel on it.

Aeolus backed up. "Now I remember you. You're Model W's servants… Prometheus and Pandora!" Model H declared. "I heard you were dead!"

"We were, until Model W bit the dust." Prometheus said. "Our souls were released, and we got our old bodies back to boot. But enough beating around the bush. As much as I hate to say this… we're on your side for this."

Aeolus raised an eyebrow. "Model D wants us as its soldiers… But we want to be free of these cursed Biometals… to live our lives how we want." Pandora told him.

"Oy, I can't deal with this!" Prometheus griped. "I'll see you later, Pandora. I can't stick around!" Prometheus warped out.

"Don't mind him." Pandora told Aeolus. She floated closer to him. "He may not like this, but it's our only option. If you ever need our help… we will be there to help… or at least I will."

"I have one question." Aeolus said, Pandora nodding. "Why did you come to me? Why not the others?"

"…You are noble, calmer. If we appeared to the others, they might have attacked us." Pandora replied. "I don't know about Prometheus… but I want as little hostility as possible."

Aeolus was silent for a moment, then nodded. "All right. I will make sure your help is welcomed." His communicator then went off.

"Aeolus, we've found Aile in an area called the Snowbound Dojo! There's a Pseudoroid at that location, too! Hurry back so we can move out!" Grey said.

"I'm on my way." Aeolus said, then he went to leave.

"Wait." Pandora called to him, making Aeolus look back at her. "I do not remember… What is your name?"

Aeolus gave a small smile. "I am the Wind Mega Man… Aeolus." He replied, heading back to the communicator.

"Aeolus…" Pandora breathed, too quiet for Aeolus to hear her. A small smile graced her face. "Good luck to you… and your comrades." The Model W Mega Man then warped out.

Model H chuckled. "I think she liked you, Aeolus." Aeolus could only ignore the Wind Biometal with an eye roll.

Vile: The Model W siblings now on the good side? That's a shocker. Either way, the more allies the heroes get, the tougher of a time Model D's gonna have. If you guys liked this chapter, leave a review for me! See ya!
