Here's the newest chapter for my story. Enjoy.

First Fight

Axl-R drew his pistol from inside his tuxedo and fired at the robot. PING. It ricocheted off of the robot's large torso and left a burn in the wall. "Shit."

"Well, at least now we know one thing about it," Zero said.

"And what's that?"

"Your bullets bounce off of it." Axl-R just gave him a dirty look and flipped him the bird. "Now was that really necessary?"

"Yeah."

"If you two are done, how bout concentrating on the rather large robot aiming at us," X said in the middle of their "discussion". "Alia, you, Layer, and Palette get out of here and help the other people get out."

"Alright," Alia replied. "Layer, Palette, let's get going."

"Yes, ma'am," Layer and Palette said in unison. As the three girls went off to help other restaurant goers get out, X, Axl-R, and Zero faced the robot.

"Ok. What's the plan here," Zero said, hoping one of the other two had an idea.

"Uh, don't get killed," Axl-R said.

"Brilliant plan Axl."

"Ok, how bout this. Don't get killed and don't mess up our clothes."

"Oh for the luvva…" Meanwhile, the robot had been moving closer and closer to the three reploids.

"Hey guys. Maybe we should move and think."

They split up in different directions, taking cover behind anything they could find. It was at that time Zero realized something. "Did Will ever tell us how to go back to our original forms."

"Nope, don't think so," he heard X say.

He gave a sigh. "I didn't think so. Ok think. There's gotta be someway to beat this guy as we are now."

"Like what? My bullets just bounce off this thing," Axl-R said.

"I know, I know. But there's got-" X and Axl-R wondered why Zero stopped mid sentence.

"Hey Zero why'd ya stop?" Still no answer came. Axl-R looked around the overturned he was behind and saw Zero laying by the kitchen doors. The robot had knocked him from behind and it looked like he was unconscious. Then Axl-R heard a groan.

"What the hell hit me? A semi," Zero managed to groan out. The robot started moving towards him again. Zero looked around for the closest weapon and saw a black handle sticking out from under the kitchen door. He grabbed it and held it out at the robot. The robot stopped and then started laughing, but it was a monotonous, halting laugh that only went to three ha's. "What's so funny?" It was then that Zero took a closer look at his "weapon". "A SPATULA?! How did I grab a friggin' spatula?"

The robot started moving towards him again and he did the only thing he could think of to do with a spatula. He threw it at the robot's head. It grazed the robot's short neck along the left side and when he took a closer look at the spot, he saw a small gap that hadn't been there before. He then had a plan. "Axl, aim for the sides of its neck. X, you keep it busy." Zero then turned around to go in the kitchen.

"What are you gonna do," X asked him.

"Beat it." X just looked at Axl-R and shrugged. He then leapt at the robot to get its attention.

In the kitchen, Zero started looking through all the pots on the stove. "There's gotta be one with it in here." When he found one that had what he was looking for, he grabbed the pan and hurried back out of the kitchen.

Axl-R and X had definitely been keeping the thing busy for the last ten minutes. X was cut and bruised, as was Axl-R. The robot had three or four holes along its neck. "Guys duck!" He threw what was in the pot at the robot and hit his target. The holes in its neck. When the substance made contact and leaked in through the holes, the robot started to jerk and sizzle around.

"What'd you throw at it," X asked him.

"Hot cooking oil." They watched the robot as it continued to jerk around and then fell down backwards. When they were sure it wouldn't get back up, they fell down as well and just lay there resting. Zero then started to chuckle to himself.

"What's so funny," Axl-R asked him.

"You still owe me 2,000 zennys."

"You know I really, really hate you right now."

Protoman stood up from the table and drew the Muramasa from its sheath. "Bring it."

The green robot obliged and settled into a stance, right arm up and crescent blade facing out, left arm just behind it in the same position. Everyone else looked around for a weapon, but found none. Will, being a cyborg with a few reploid parts, always had a weapon. "Armor up, battle ready," he said and his green armor began to slide out from his shoulders. "G Blade." He held out his right hand and a blade extended from his elbow and slid forward until its hilt was in his hand. He took a stance by Protoman and held the hilt of his blade with both hands.

The robot then charged at them, arms held behind its back and when it was close enough, it slashed at them, Protoman with its left, Will with its right. They both managed to block, but were knocked back.

"There's gotta be a way we can help," Roll said.

Meanwhile, Will and Protoman went on the attack. Will aimed for the head, while Protoman went for the legs. The robot blocked both with a gracefulness that neither of them had ever seen and they couldn't help but feel some admiration and respect for such bladework. And then it attacked. "Crescent dance!" The robot charged them and began to spin and slash. Will and Protoman managed to block the first ten each, but then they were hit and knocked back five feet.

Without thinking, Roll ran towards and when she reached them she kneeled next to them. She touched a hand to each and said, "Recovery." Both of the boys glowed a purple-pink and then opened their eyes.

"What happened," Protoman said.

"That thing knocked us back," Will answered. "And Roll found her ability." They both looked at her, who had a puzzled look on her face as she stared at her hands.

"Did I just do….that," she said in a confused tone.

The robot started moving towards everyone else. Iceman stepped in front of them and stood there looking defiantly at the robot. When the robot slashed at him, he put up both arms instinctively to protect himself, but the attack never came. He opened his eyes to see the robot with its arm still a fott from his head. He then noticed that there was a glittering light in front of him. "What the-"

The robot's crescent blade on its right wrist then shattered like glass. Iceman then realized what had happened. He had thrown up an ice barrier that was not only thick enough to stop the robot's arm, it was cold enough to instantly freeze the blade to its shattering point. While the robot stood looking there like it was confused, which it probably was, it felt something in its chest and looked down. Extruding from his chest were two tips. The Muramasa's silver tip and the G Blade's green tip.

The robot slid forward off the swords and fell to the ground. "Well that was certainly an interesting and educational fight," Will said.

"Please just shut up," Protoman said.

"This movie is pretty good," Luna said to Z.

"I know," Z said. "I'm so glad we decided to split up for movie watching. I wonder if the boys are having a good time."

"Hey!" They looked towards the entrance and saw Bud waving at them. "We need to go. Come on."

Luna gave him a glare, but he still didn't go. "I guess we have no choice. Come on, let's go before someone calls an usher," she said to Jen, Z, Sonia, Lyra, and Ophiuchus.

As they made their way over to Bud, they heard an explosion. Bud then started waving more frantically, gesturing that they needed to hurry up. When they made it to him, he ushered them all out the entrance door. "Alright, what's wrong?"

"That." They looked to where Bud pointed and saw a black robot that was currently being distracted by Gemini, who was doing a pretty good job of being one of the most annoying heckler he could be.

"Dude, are you seriously that slow? A snail could win a race against you and not even break a sweat. And that blade. Dude are you, like, a Predator wannabe or what?" The robot was getting extremely frustrated with the kid making fun of him. It took aim at Gemini and fired, but Gemini had already moved out of the way.

"What the hell is that," Luna asked.

"We don't know," Bud answered. "It just sort of attacked us."

Meanwhile, the robot had noticed them and was moving towards them. When they noticed it coming towards them, they ran off in different directions. When the robot saw this, it stopped, trying to figure out who to go for. Poindexter saw its hesitation and decided to try something.

"Hey," he yelled at it. When it looked at him, it raised its gun arm and took aim. "Wait, wait!" The robot obligingly waited. "Mind if I ask you a few questions?" The robot just stood and waited. "I'll take that as a yes. Ok, first question. One plus one?"

The robot took about two minutes and then said, "Two."

Poindexter had a smug look on his face, pleased that his theory had just been proved correct. "Ok second question. What is two multiplied by pi, divided by the square root of eight, then added by three hundred twenty one, and finally multiplied once more by the square root of seven?"

The robot didn't even bother thinking. It raised its gun arm once more and prepared to fire. "Get down you idiot," Jen yelled at Poindexter and when he still didn't move, she ran at him and then tackled half a second before the robot fired.

Meanwhile, Omega-xis had been sneaking up behind the thing with Taurus right beside him. "You remember the plan," he asked Taurus.

"Yes, I remember the plan. What you think I'm stupid," Taurus answered indignantly.

"Sorry, sorry. The Taurus from my world was lacking in intelligence. My bad. Now then, let's do it."

Taurus intertwined the fingers of his hands together and the Omega-xis put his right foot in them. "One," Taurus began. "Two, three!" On three, he launched Omega-xis up and forward. Omega-xis landed on the top of the robot, which then tried to swat him off with its bladed arm. Omega-xis ducked each swipe and then went on the left shoulder. The robot lost track of him until he knocked on the left side of its head. When it went to swipe Omega-xis once more, Omega-xis jumped off and the robot's blade severed its own head. It fell forward and hit the ground with a loud THUD.

"Man that was one dumb robot," Omega-xis said after standing back up from his landing.

At Beamer's, the inside was a mess from the robot's rampage. The guys were panting heavily from dodging such a fast opponent. So far, they hadn't even been able to attack. But just as it was about to deliver a final strike that would kill all of them in one swipe, a rather loud voice was heard from behind it.

"What the-. My res-. It's-. You-. Alright, I am pissed," a very angry Beamer said. The robot turned to look at him. It made quick assessment and announced its results.

"Threat level: one."

"One? A one? Oh you have no idea what you've just done." Before the robot could react, Beamer had appeared in front of the thing in less than a second, grabbed it by its neck, and then through it out the already broken front window.

"The one thing even I don't want to fight," Max said. "A pissed off Beamer who just saw what happened to his restaurant. It's like a nightmare. But it is entertaining to watch."

They all limped towards the window to watch. The poor robot never stood a chance. Beamer tore into the thing, breaking armor, yanking wire and circuitry, and in general, caused the thing as much pain as possible. When he finally stopped, the robot lay in a fetal position, making little whimpers, and then it shut down. "No one, and I mean, no one, messes my restaurant and gets away with it."

"Good job Beamer. Sorry about your restaurant. Anything we can do to help," Max asked him.

"Yeah. Get this pile of junk out of the street."

"Sure thing buddy."

And that was the newest chapter. Finally some fight scenes and it went better than I thought. Please review. And if anyone has an idea for the watches, please, for the love of all that is good and decent, let me know. It's giving me a headache.
