Code X

Chapter Six - Black Robot

Zero and Ulrich had arrived at their location. The area, the ruins that was once known as New York. Zero looked around and sighed. He'd been to this area twice before Once to save X from Vile, and yet another time. The time in which he met Axl.

Ulrich looked around, astonished at what he saw. He had heard stories about how cool New York was with all of its lights and people. But now, seeing this rubble, he was disappointed.

"Alright, let's go," said Zero. Ulrich nodded and followed, no questions asked.

The two of them jumped from pile to pile of garbage and slashed many smaller mavericks along the way. At one point, there was a huge wall in front of them, block their way. Zero jumped into the air.

"Zero, buddy, I don't think that's gonna work," Ulrich suggested. Zero ignored him and jumped again, in midair. He then slapped is body onto the wall and continued double jumping until he reached the top.

"What!? That's impossible!"

Zero laughed and shouted back, "You need help getting up?"

Ulrich turned around and walked away from the wall. When he became five feet away, he turned back to the wall and bolted towards it, running up it at high speed.

"Who needs help now?" Ulrich remarked. Zero smirked and they walked the rest of the way.

A shout of pain was heard and they sprinted ahead. Zero using the jets in his legs to dash forward, and Ulrich using his Super Sprint - the technique he uses to move at high speeds. When they had arrived at the location of the scream, they found a strange, black robot gripping the Maverick they were sent to destroy.

"Civilian! You are acting as a vigilante. You are both hereby under arrest," Zero commanded. The block robot threw the Maverick into the air and fired a rapid barrage of bullets at him, destroying him.

"Who are you!?" Zero shouted.

"You mean he isn't with us?" Ulrich asked.

Zero shook his head. "No. I've never seen him before in my life."

The black robot turned to them and said, "You're wrong Sissy Robot. You and I met once…" With his body turned to them, they saw he had a wide head with yellow stripes. His body mainly black with small yellow stripes going around it. You could say his coloring was that of Ulrich's, only reversed.

"Sissy Robot, have you accomplished your mission?" he asked.

"Just who are you!?" Zero shouted.

The black robot laughed insanely and answered, "Well, just tell Megaman that Bass is back for another match…" With that, he disappeared. Zero's eyes were wide and his body was shaking. He wasn't sure why, but fear filled his body. Except, he wasn't scared of the robot, but of himself. How will this all turn out for him? He pondered on this as he and Ulrich returned to base.
