Chapter 2

X and Zero, Captured?! By: Ghostwriter

I got two reviews for the first chapter once upon a time. But one was from my brother, so that doesn't count. And the other was from another person, who has deleted everything, even though their account is still active. I dropped an e-mail for thanks. But without that review (from the one which I call G. D., not my brother) I may not be here today. Whether that's a good or bad thing, well, that's something to debate.

Note: You know how you always read those bloody and gory battle seen between X, Zero, and the Mavericks? Well, this is pretty much a crappy version of it.

Declaimers: I don't own Mega Man. Also, the paranormal (such as ghost) could be or is true.

The outside was devastating. Carnage and butchery everywhere. Bodies packed stack high. Or parts, at least. Every 4 feet was a patch of blood. Thievery and murder at an all time high. Mugging was very high and riots broke loss everywhere.

But enough about L. A. Lets go about half way around the earth and look into Tokyo, Japan. Right now, it wasn't so good, either. There was another battle going on. Mavericks against the Hunters.

Yep, just another day.

KABOOOM!!!

Another blast went off again, causing some devastating results.

X blinked. Tears formed in his eyes as he cradled something in his palms. "Why god, why?! Why did little Jimmy have to die!"

"X", Zero shouted at him, but dropped his voice when he tapped X on the sholder, "Jimmy was a rag doll!!"

X blinked, then let a smile on. "Oh yah!" His faced bighted up and went off to the battle while his best friend rolled his eyes and followed.

"Maverick sighted, you should see them", Alia talked over the communicator to the two Maverick Hunter commanders. "They should be visual…now."

"Well, Duh. Even X could figure that out.", Zero said sarcastically as he sprinted on ahead. "The chard remains of his doll should have been his first clue."

"Hey!" X shouted though Zero was already ahead of him.

Both started to tear into battle. X cut through a bunch of small, brainless robots on the ground while Zero got the ones that started to fly. Soon they reached into the main conflicted.

Yep, the Commander of the 17th unit and the Commander of the 0 unit were basically kicking ass.

X started to blast through Mavericks shouting, "This is for Jimmy!"

Zero rolled his eyes again while he took out his beam saber and started slashing at any Mavericks that got into his way. 'I'll just get him another and he'll forget that 'Jimmy' died', Zero smirked at that thought. Ever since that kindergarten class belonging to Mrs. Flect made X a rag doll, Jimmy, X always brought it along with him to battle as a good luck charm…and it seems to blow up every time he does. The kindergarten class was always happy to make him another one.

Suddenly, a big mech was dropped from some place or another. It looked very, very big and very, very tough. On boarded was none other than the seemly king of mechs, Vile. Sitting on the shoulder of this great mech. was the mercenary, Dynamo.

"Remember, we only need to detain X and Zero, not go on a manslaughter", Vile reminded Dynamo.

"Yah, yah." Dynamo mumbled to him, "Says the man who is notorious for blowing up anything taller then him within site distance.

X spotted them first. "Hey, its Boba-Fett! Hi there!" X waves at Vile. It must be forgiven for X, for the area held a lot of dust and he actually thought it was Boba-Fett. That, and X in the battle had taken a many blows to the head. He was still recovering.

This did not stop Zero and Dynamo from snickering.

"Oh, you just shut up, you dumb blue-berry! I'll show you, I will." Vile shouted in rage, "This mech. is the best one ever made!" He turned the mech. on and then…

And then…

and then it wouldn't start. Vile looked shocked and confused. Vile tried to start it again, restarting the sequence. It still wouldn't work.

"Um." X stammered out looking at the mech, then at Vile, "Is it suppose to just be scary looking?"

"Oh, hold on, I need to fix it, that's all. Something probably came loose when they dropped the thing." Vile started to open his mech and fiddle with all the wires and stuff. "Yep, I think I see what the problem is. You think they could have dropped it a little softer. I know it's built to take a beating, but it's not built for long distant jumps." He mumbled as he started working.

Dynamo sighed. "This my take a bit."

---

Thirty minutes later…

---

"Now, if I put wire A to socket GH1, then…if I put chip ABC123DOREME in slot 14." Vile kept mumbling to himself.

The battle between the Mavericks and the Hunters in the down-town area had ended about fifteen minutes ago, but Dynamo, Mega Man X, and Zero were waiting for Vile to finish repairing the mech. X started to do back flips and saying a bunch of rhymes out of boredom when he counted past one hundred while Dynamo and Zero were debating (read: fighting) about who got more girls.

While back flipping, X said, "There once was a man who lived in Nantucket, he loved his horse so much he-"

"No, I had 5 girls on a date one time. Top that!" Zero said crossing his hands over his chest.

"Well, I have had 5 girls in bed once! And besides, you look like a girl." Dynamo said back in a very proud, mocking tone.

"Shut up!" Zero shouted at him. This was a bit of a subject that the Red Demon was a little sensitive about. But before Zero could comment back…

"I think I fixed it! I think I fixed it!" Vile shouted excitedly. All three looked at him.

"Well, turn it on", Dynamo shouted at him, now in the mood for a little action. Vile turned it on and then…

And then…

And then it still won't start. All sighed and Vile set to work again.

---

One hour later…

---

"Now, if I put this here, and that there, then that should react to that like this." Vile was still working hard on his mech suit, oblivious to everything else.

Mega Man X and Zero were both sparing with each other while Dynamo started to listen to some music. "You've gotta fight, for your right, to pa-ar-ar-tay!" Dynamo started to sing along, not caring if anyone was giving stares. In fact, he liked it.

"Yes! I think I got it!" Vile shouted more excitedly, jumping up and down like a happy. All looked at him again.

"Oh, this I've got to see." Zero mumbled sarcastically. X hushed him.

Vile turned it on and then…

And then…

And then it still refused to start. All fell anime style and Vile started to work even faster and even more irate (though it was hard to tell, with the bucket on his head).

---

Another hour later…

---

People were coming out again without fear of being blown to pieces. Even though my residence were taught big, metal thing of death equal bad, it was impossible not to be curious about a reploid working on a mech unit while three other reploids were playing Go Fish near the area.

Yep, out of boredom waiting for Vile to fix his baby and X just happening to have a pack of cards with him, they figured why the hell not.

"You got any 8's, Dynamo?" X asked.

"Go fish", Dynamo said a little bored.

"Okay, okay, this time I fixed it! I tested everything before hand" Vile said, pulling on his helmet a little.. X was the only one who stood up this time, leaving his cards facedown as he watched. Zero and Dynamo grinned at each other and peaked at X's cards.

"Okay, here we go!" X looked a little eagerly.

Vile started up the mech and then…

And then…

And then something sparked, and then it smoked a little before quitting. Vile yelled in rage and started to repair it yet again.

X started to feel a little sorry for Vile but went back to his game of cards with Dynamo and Zero, not sure if he should be interrupting the man's work.

"X, do you have any Jacks?" Zero smirked at his best friend.

"Yes…aww!" X grumbled, as he handed Zero the requested cards

---.

Sometimes later…

---

It was sunset by now and everyone was coming home or finally leaving their homes. A bit of a crowned looked over at the group of reploids, the tourist even started to take some pictures.

Vile worked tirelessly on his mech, while Mega Man X and Zero were taking a nap, while Dynamo started to drink some of the six-packs he always brought with him, sort of playing a drinking game with himself.

Vile finally stood up. "I finished it, I finished it!" He shouted with despair and wariness.

No one got up. It really did not bug him so much.

Vile started it up yet again and then…

And then…

And then it worked!

"Ahahaha!! It works, it works! Thank you!" Vile started to dance around. The almost trash-can banging sounds soon woke up X and Zero.

It also got Dynamo off to his 3rd beer.

Vile looked over at the slightly disbelieved Maverick Hunters and announced, "Okay, time to capture you two. Dynamo, get up."

Dynamo, already starting to fell a buzz from this pack of beverage plus his past, started to really not caring about the mission, which caused the mercenary to opt to chug down the said 3rd beer in one gulp. In celebration, he started on the 4th. Vile growled at him, but chose in favor of waking up his monster.

The two Maverick Hunters got in a fighting stance and waited for Vile to attack.

It lurched to life, charged up and took his first step.

Then the mech suit stopped. Vile got what was assumed a blink stare on his face. It was quite hard to see the expression with only the little "T" opening.

He quickly found the problem.

The battery decided to die.

X and Zero blinked, seeing the armor not work…yet again.

Vile just sat there for a few more seconds before jumping out of the machine, standing in front of it, looking it over, and collapsing in a fit of tears. "Why me?! This isn't fair! I just wanted to try out the mech suit, nothing more! I wasn't even going to kill anyone with it! I was just going to use it this once and put it away and have it as a trophy!" Vile was now blubbering like a child who's favorite toy just broke, which probably was not far from the truth.

X, being the sweet-natured good-guy he was, felt sorry for Vile and walked up to the crying, purple reploid. He put a hand on Vile's shoulder. "There, there Vile, at least you tried. Cheer up! I'm sure when you replace the energy source, it will work like a charm."

Vile looked at X with watery eyes. Assumed watery eyes. "You think so?" Vile asked hopefully.

"Sure. Tell you what, me and Zero will wait here for you, and you go get whatever parts you need." X said a little like aquarelle, but he was such a nice guy, he would try to make his enemy feel happy before being worried about the dangerous mech that could possibly blast him into the nearest building.

Vile ran off skipping, getting some people's attention. He even kissed some human girl along the way.

X sighed and wondered why the hell he just said all that to a person he really, really, really disliked like. Oh well. "Come on Zero, we better get…oh for the love of-",

Zero was now drinking with Dynamo while Dynamo finished his 5th one and pulled out anther six-pack.

It was X's turn to roll his eyes but suddenly, he was hit on the back of his neck with something shocking and glowing and preceded to fainted. Zero, already on his 2nd beer, did not noticed X's predicament until he fell for the same fate.

Dynamo looked up after seeing Zero toppled over. "Hello, little rookie." He said to the perpetrator.

"The name is Stardust! S-T-A-R-T-D-U-S-T!" A random yellow-armored female Maverick yelled at Dynamo, "And I'm doing more work then you are!" She was telling the truth, of course. After all, she had knocked out the two best hunters ever alive. Though on happened to be distracted by Vile and the other was distracted by booze.

"Do I look like I give a damn?" Dynamo said starting on his 6th beer, rather happy with himself

"You stupid mercenary!" She mumbled, before commanding, "Now, help me pick them up, we have to get them to 'The Ghost Box'. Master Sigma will be very pleased." Stardust finally had a bright smile on her face.

Just then, Vile came up with a big, metal, something or other. Vile looked around at the two unconscious hunters. "Why are they knocked out?" Vile asks with a blank expression on his face. Then again, his expression looked blank.

"Because you were suppose to have them knocked out about 2 hours ago!" Stardust yelled at him.

"But…but…but…" Vile started to twitched and then he cried some more.

Stardust looked at Vile in confusion.

Dynamo finished his 7th beer.

Could someone tell me the location of the MHHQ? I can't find it. I am not sure if it is in Europe or Japan. And if not, then is Abel city the official location by the game or was that only in the short cartoon?
