Episode 71: Rock's Monster
Transformation.
"So Caskett, are you ready to join the
right guy?" Matt asked.
"When will you get in through your head that I HATE YOU?!?" the blonde
haired girl snapped.
"
No offense, but that makes no sense,
your brother wants to kill you and wants your girlfriend?" MegaMan
asked Inutaisho.
"Long story...." Inutaisho groaned.
"Okay Jake, how about this, you dump Caskett again and I give you
Heather?" Matt asked.
"
.... Someone kill me now and save me for the
insanity...." MegaMan groaned.
MegaMari held up a potion with a label on it that had a skull. "Here ya
go."
"I
wasn't being serious!" the blue robot cried.
"Then don't say it." MegaMari pointed out.
"Now I have a headache." MegaMan groaned.
"Need a painkiller?" the potion maker asked.
MegaMan groaned once more, as he nodded.
MegaMari handed him a potion, which he drank right away. Suddenly
MegaMari got a worried expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" MegaGirl asked.
".... Er, I gave him the wrong potion, that was a Monster Potion...."
MegaMari said with a sweatdrop on her head.
"Well what's it gonna do?!" MegaMan asked.
"I said she's a quack...." Z mumbled.
"I'd better not tell you, it's gonna kick in soon...." MegaMari said.
"TELL ME!" MegaMan snapped.
"You'll turn into a monster.... Sorry." MegaMari said.
"I'm going to kill you." MegaMan remarked.
"I SAID I'M SORRY!" MegaMari cried.
"I DON'T CARE!" MegaMan growled.
"I have a feeling someone is going to be in extreme pain shortly...."
ImPal said.
"
Um, stand VERY far away from him.... " MegaMari took a few steps back.
"You realize he's going to kill you right?" Inutaisho asked.
Matt just stood there laughing.
MegaMan whaled in pain as he growled, his body suddenly glowed
brightly, like he was changing into his Beast Out, but became larger,
with yellow specs all over, and big red eyes.
"Did that potion somehow combine with his Beast Out?!" Inutaisho cried.
"GRRAWWWLLL!!!" MegaMan growled, stomping the ground.
"This is rich! Now I don't even have to fight you!" Matt cried.
MegaMan turned and shot a huge flame from his mouth at Matt, causing
him to drop Heather.
"Got her!" Xel teleported and grabbed the girl, and appeared back to
the group.
"Anyone got any ideas?" Marino asked.
"Ask the one who made the potion...." X rolled his eyes.
"
........ Well, I've never used it before, it
was an accident potion by Alice...." MegaMari said.
"...I have an idea. We all go get something to eat and leave the stupid
girl to deal with the mess she created." Inutaisho joked.
"There's a problem though with that potion....." MegaMari said.
"WHAT NOW?!?" MegaGirl hollered.
"It'll kill him in a few hours...." MegaMari said.
"...... I'm going to kill you before he does!" Inutaisho growled,
extending his claws.
"Jake, don't...." Melody said.
"But look what she's done! If I don't kill her you can be sure Rock
will!" Inutaisho snapped, he leapt into the air, ready to attack.
Melody rolled her eyes. "You leave me no choice, sit."
"What?" MegaGirl just starred at Melody.
Inutaisho is slammed into the ground face first.
"I hate it when you do that!"
"
Well it'll stop you from doing something
stupid." Melody pointed out.
"But it's annoying! And she deserves to
die!" Inutaisho growled.
"No she doesn't. It was a mistake." Melody added.
"Well fine, Rock's gonna kill her anyway." Inutaisho said.
"HEY YOU OVERGROWN MUTT YOU'RE DEAD!" Matt growled.
MegaMan jumped up and down, shaking the ground below them.
"Earthquake?!?" Spearman cried.
MegaMan turned, ready to attack MegaGirl next.
"ROLL!" Denpa got in the way, MegaMan bit his arm.
"Subaru!" MegaGirl grabbed Denpa's arm, trying to pull him out.
Suddenly, MegaMan lifted the two up, swinging them into the air, then
swallowing them whole.
"I knew he was lying about apologizing. Hey ugly! Down here!" Inutaisho
cried, waving his arms.
ZX suddenly appeared behind him, trying
to slash his head off.
"OH COME ON! WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?!?" Inutaisho cried, blocking the
slash with his sword.
"Let's try this one!" MegaMari suddenly flew off on her broom, and
landed on ZX's head, shoving a potion down her throat.
ZX collapsed, falling back with MegaMari, right on MegaMan's nose.
"Un-oh...." MegaMari said, as the two were eaten by MegaMan.
"Well she got what she deserved..." Inutaisho groaned.
"JAKE!" Melody screamed.
"Fine, now to save the others then." Inutaisho growled.
MegaMan snarled, stomping the ground again.
Ailias was still holding Irasu & Protoman.
"Z-Chain!" Zero whipped out a newer weapon, wrapping it around Ailias.
"Aqua Buster!" Aquarius fired, as X & Z moved in to save the
captured newly weds.
"Duo, get them out of here now!" Melody cried.
Duo nodded, holding Heater as he opened the portal.
Wolf Knight held up BassGS, Siya took Irasu, and Parlay took Protoman.
Spearman held off the attacks with his shield, as the group entered the
portal.
MegaMan didn't look well, he was growling madly.
Inutaisho grabbed MegaMan's claws. "Okay Rock, spit them out and I
won't hurt you."
MegaMan snarled and stomped his other foot on Inutaisho's head, then
was ready to eat him.
"Jake!!!!" Melody got in the way and was eaten instead.
Inutaisho's eyes turned red, along with his sword. "I'LL RIP YOU TO
PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
MegaMan snarled, trying to stomp him again.
The red eyed man hissed as he grabbed the foot of the giant monster. "
Heheheheh, stupid monster. Time for you to die..."
MegaMan made a confused groan.
"Bye bye...." Inutaisho held up his sword.
MegaMan then fired a beam from his mouth, which Inutaisho avoided and
slashed the large beast's teeth, causing them to break, as then the
sword was thrown into his mouth.
MegaMan groaned again, looking very sick
now.
Inside the belly of MegaMan, the area was like the one they just were
in, it looked like something from a game.
"War-Rock, give me an idea.... WHY DOES THIS LOOK LIKE AN AREA AND NOT
A STOMACH?" Denpa asked.
"
I've given up trying to figure these people out."
War-Rock remarked.
"It has to be an illusion." MegaMari said.
"
Look, can we focus on getting out of here?"
MegaGirl asked.
"So where do we start?" MegaMari asked.
"Simple, we blow a hole through his stomach." War-Rock said, forcing
Denpa's buster to fire.
But the blast just was absorbed into the sky.
"So much for that...." MegaGirl groaned.
Melody came flying down, she swirled in the air with her guitar and
landed. "
Oh so you guys are ok? That's good for
us, bad for Rock... Jake's gonna kill him..."
"Jake wouldn't do that, would he?"
War-Rock asked.
"Er, he would if he thinks Rock killed us...." Melody said.
ZX stood up, ready to attack again.
"Um, can something do something about her?!?" Denpa cried.
"Here!" MegaMari threw a potion in ZX's face, causing her to force back
into her human form. Aile groaned as she passed out.
"Is she okay?" MegaGirl asked.
"She'll sleep it off." the potion maker explained. "It's just a knock
out potion."
"Hey Subaru, change back into your human form." War-Rock said.
"WHAT?!? Have you lost it?" Denpa asked.
"Trust me, hey Roll cancel your robot form. Do you think the 'inner'
Rock can see us now?" War-Rock asked.
MegaGirl nodded, changing back into her human form.
"So what is your plan War-Rock?" Denpa asked as he reverted to his
human form.
"Okay Subaru, stop being a moron and
finally tell Roll what you were practicing last night." War-Rock said.
The boy's eyes widened. "NOW?!?"
"It's the only way you're gonna live, DO IT!" War-Rock demanded.
"Er, Roll....." Subaru turned to Roll, blushing.
War-Rock rolled his eyes. "We're doomed...."
"This is getting us nowhere.." MegaMari remarked.
"Quiet." Melody snapped.
Subaru gulped. "You know I love you, right?"
Roll nodded. "Yeah..."
Subaru kneeled down, holding up a small
box. "Will you marry me?"
"Oh that's so sweet!" Melody cried.
Suddenly MegaMan puked them all up.
"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!" MegaMari cried.
"What happened?" Roll asked.
"I knew it would gross Rock out if he saw that." War-Rock laughed.
Inutaisho picked up his puked up sword, and jumped at MegaMan, flying
over his head. "Time to die!"
Melody snapped to and saw. "Oh no, I forgot Jake. SIT!"
Inutaisho's necklace glowed, and he
slammed into MegaMan's head, forcing him to fall to the ground as well.
Melody grabbed Inutaisho and pulled him away as the giant
MegaMan was sparking. "You okay Jake?"
"
I'm fine mommy,
where's the
bacon?" said Inutaisho with several chibi Caskett's flying around his
head, as he reverted back to human form.
MegaMan right then exploded back into human form, he stood up, his eyes
not even looking human.
"Rock?" Roll asked.
"DIE SUBARU!" Rock punched Subaru in the face, then passed out.
Melody changed back, shaking her boyfriend. "Jake, are you okay?
Wake
up!"
"
I can deal with the Sit, but
please, NEVER use it when I'm midair over a giant monster with a skull
thicker than concrete!" Jake groaned.
Caskett sweatdropped. "Sorry, but it
turned him
back, look."
Jake nodded, rubbing his head. "Yeah, but
that really hurt!"
"I know, sorry." Caskett said, as she kissed his cheek.
"Now I'm better." Jake grinned.
Rock groaned as he sat up. "Why do I feel like I got hit in the head by
a ton of bricks, and
have an urge to hurt Marisa?"
"He doesn't remember?" War-Rock asked. "You turned into a monster from Marisa's potion, and
tried to kill all of us, the only way we stopped you was by Subaru
proposing to Roll."
"I DID WHAT?!?" Rock cried.
Roll blushed, and didn't speak while she was in shock.
"Well now I bet Rock wants your
head on a platter...." War-Rock joked.
Subaru rolled his eyes. "War-Rock, you're no
help..."
Rock just glared at him.
"Where did Matt go?" Jake asked, rubbing his head.
"Must have left in the confusion, let's catch up with the others."
Caskett said, opening the portal back to HQ.
Episode 72: Engagement Plans
The group came back to Zone Cop HQ, ZX
was thrown into an electric prison cell.
"We'll have to keep her there until we can figure out how to break
Black Heart's spell." Duo explained. "How'd it go?"
"Well that crisis is over." Caskett said, sitting down.
"Yeah except we've got Rock upset now." Jake pointed out. "He ran off
as soon as we got here."
"Where'd he go?" Roll asked.
"Don't know." Ciel shrugged.
"Don't care." Silve remarked.
Roll didn't say a word, she couldn't even look at Subaru without
blushing, and she hadn't spoke since they got there.
"Maybe we should go back and check on Rock City?" Alex asked. "After
all we did just leave the place in a mess."
"Okay, Brandon, Anthony, Morgan, Lizzie, you 4 head off with Blaze,
Marlene, Alex, Nicole, Sara & Andrew to check on the situation back
in Rock City." Duo ordered.
"Yes sir!" Brandon cried.
The group of Zone Cops gathered together, and were transported.
"Guardians, see if you can relocate Despair." Duo ordered.
Harpuia, Leviathan, Fefnir & Phantom nodded. "Yes sir!" they were
transported.
"Can you send Auto to rebuild my lab?" Dr. Light asked. "It's been
destroyed."
"Very well." Duo said, as he transported Auto off.
"Dad, maybe you and Dr. Light should stay here when we go on the next
mission." Kalinka said.
"What?" Dr. Cossack asked.
"She's right, the less of us might be easier on the transporter." Duo
said. "Besides where we're going it's not safe for humans, they will be
safe in their robot forms."
"I guess we can't argue." Dr. Cain sighed.
"Don't worry, we can handle it." Barrel said.
"So can someone fill us in on what's going on here?" Blues asked.
"Kind of a long story." Dr. Light said.
"So we saved your friends." Marisa said. "But we still need to stop
this Despair."
"Yeah, maybe YOU should sit out too." Ashe said.
"Who are you talking to rookie?!?" Marisa snapped.
"YOU CONFUSED A MONSTER POTION FOR A PAINKILLER!" Data growled. "You're
crazy!"
"Too true." Vent chuckled. "The monkey for once has a point."
Marisa threw a potion bottle at Vent's head.
"I wonder how is it you guys became heroes?" Xel joked.
"NOBODY ASKED YOUR OPINION!" Everyone shouted.
Flip Top, Rush, Tango & Beat just all stared at each other.
"I don't feel so good...." Heather groaned.
"Yeah but at least you're safe now." Jake said.
"That brother of yours is some piece of work." Zero said.
"Don't remind us." the siblings remarked.
"It was strange that Rock ran off, where did he go?" Daniel asked.
"I think Rock went into one of the training rooms to calm down." Alia
spoke up.
"Good, I was worried he'd try to kill Subaru." Caskett said.
"Why would he do that?" Iris asked.
"Because idiot here asked Roll to marry him." War-Rock said.
"WAR-ROCK!" Subaru growled.
"Wait, he's in a room alone?" Jake cried. "Caskett, we've got to
hurry!" he snatched his girlfriend's arm and ran.
"Where are we going?!?" she hollered.
"If I know Rock, he's going to..." Jake flung open the door to the
training room, finding Rock, as MegaMan, with his buster to his own
head.
"ROCK!!!" Caskett cried.
MegaMan turned to the couple, a dull expression on his face. "...
What...?"
"What are you doing?!?" Caskett shouted.
"I've got no reason to live, so I'm ending it." MegaMan replied.
"WHAT? Why do you have no reason to live?" Caskett asked.
"Well, I've been dumped, my sister has been proposed to, and the rest
of my life is nothing but boredom or fighting." MegaMan said. "Silve
hates my guts now."
Caskett arched an eyebrow. "And your sister being proposed to is a bad
thing?"
MegaMan shot her a disturbing glare. "Considering it happened while the
two of them were in my stomach? Yes!!!"
Caskett looked at her boyfriend for help.
"Well she didn't give him an answer..." Jake pointed out.
"But we all know what the answer is gonna be..." MegaMan shrugged.
"You don't know that...." Caskett shook her head. "And besides, you ate
them while you were crazed out, and it was War-Rock's idea to do it
just then, to save our lives..."
MegaMan sighed. "Even so, that's only one solved problem of many."
Caskett rolled her eyes. "Well if you weren't so stupid with Silve...."
MegaMan grumbled, and started charging his buster.
Jake jumped. "I don't think that helped!!!"
"I didn't mean that!!!" Caskett grabbed his buster, pointing it away.
"LET GO!" MegaMan growled.
"Rock? ... Can we talk?" Roll walked in. "WHAT THE?!?"
"He's trying to kill himself!" Jake cried, he also grabbed the buster.
"Rock! Why are you trying to kill yourself?!?" Roll shouted.
"Because I have no reason to stay alive." her brother responded.
"WHAT? That's insane! I need you bro! We all need you!" Roll cried.
MegaMan shrugged. "Why? You've got Subaru, and you've got more than
enough people here to fight these pointless battles."
"Oh so you're saying I don't need my brother!?!?" Roll snapped.
The blue bomber groaned. "What do you need a brother for when you've
got your fiancee?"
"What fiancee?" Roll asked, she turned her head and blushed.
"I heard Subaru propose to you Roll...." MegaMan said, as he slowly
lowered his buster. "Why do you need me when you have him?"
Roll seemed speechless for a moment. "........ Yeah but I...." she
looked down. "..... I don't know what to tell him.... I don't think I'm
ready for that....."
MegaMan groaned, and turned back into Rock. "But you still have him as
a boyfriend, so explain why you would need me?"
His sister rolled her eyes in a grumble. "Maybe because I don't want to
lose my brother right now? You act like I don't care about you..."
"Well you care about Subaru more than me, I know that much." Rock said
as he crossed his arms.
"NO I DON'T!!!" Roll screamed.
"You don't?" Rock looked at her confused.
"You're my brother, and you & Blues mean everything to me!" Roll
snapped.
Rock said nothing, he just stood there.
"I think we should leave..." Jake took Caskett's hand and walked out of
the room.
Roll watched them leave, and turned back to her brother. "Is that what
this has been all about?"
Rock nodded. "Well, that and Silve...."
"Silve is another story....." Roll grumbled.
"But this time I don't know what I did!" Rock said.
"Do you ever?" Roll joked.
Rock growled. "You're not helping."
"I know..." she sighed.
"I really am a moron..." Rock groaned.
"And you only just figured that out now?" Roll teased.
Rock shot a glare at his sister. "Are you trying to help or make me
feel worse?"
"I'm kidding!" she cried.
"I know you are..." Rock chuckled, and patted her shoulder. "But
seriously, I need to talk to Subaru about that proposal..."
Roll's eyes widened. ".... You do...?"
Rock smirked. "Don't worry, I won't hurt him. I just need to talk..."
he said, walking out of the room. "And maybe threaten....." he added
under his breath.
Roll stepped out of the room. "Rock, if you do something to him I'll
never forgive you..."
Rock turned around and smirked again. "I promise I won't hurt him Roll."
Rock walked around the HQ, then saw Jake & Caskett in a corner.
"Well I'm glad you're not too hurt from the fall..." Caskett said.
"I'm glad you're okay, back there I almost thought that...." Jake said.
Caskett placed a finger over his mouth. "I know..... I'm sorry I got so
caught up in my work that most of the time I ignored you...."
"But you work's important, I should have tried to be a little more
understanding..." Jake said.
"Jake, after all this is over, maybe.... We can take a vacation from
all this?" Caskett asked.
Jake nodded. "I'd love to, just us..."
His girlfriend blushed. "I love you Jake, I always will...."
"And I love you..." he said, running his fingers through her blonde
hair. Then he seemed to be ruffling in his pockets.
Rock stepped back a little, so he wouldn't be seen.
"What's wrong?" Caskett asked.
"Er, nothing..." Jake said. "where is it?" he thought to himself.
Caskett giggled and kissed him gently on the lips, Jake finally pulled
a small box out of his pocket.
As they broke the kiss, Jake held her hands softly. ".... Caskett,
after almost losing you I really started thinking and.... This next
mission is going to be dangerous, and if for some reason we don't come
out of it alive, I have to ask you something."
Caskett blinked. "Sure, what?"
Jake leaned down on one knee, and opened the box in front of her,
showing a ring. ".... Will you marry me?"
Caskett's eyes widened from a mix of shock and happiness, she jumped
into a hug with her boyfriend, tears of joy flying down her cheeks as
she screamed. "YES! YES!!!!"
Jake smiled, placing the ring on her finger.
Rock smirked, having seen the joyful moment, almost forgetting what he
was going to do.
But a screamed shocked him back into focus. "HEY EVERYONE! JAKE AND
CASKETT ARE GETTING MARRIED!"
"Did you hear something?" Caskett asked.
"Heather........." Jake groaned, slapping his forehead.
Caskett rolled her eyes. "Oh great, now the whole world knows."
"We need to stop her!!!" Jake dashed off, Caskett sighed and followed.
Rock chuckled a little. "I better find Subaru before they plan a double
wedding...."
After a little while, he found Subaru in another room, with Ciel.
"What are you guys doing?" Rock asked.
"Well I'm trying to look over Subaru's Transer." Ciel explained. "Maybe
with enough research I can get this thing off his arm."
"Yeah considering after the explosion it got fused to my arm and can't
come off." Subaru said.
"Good idea..." Rock said. "Ciel, can you give us a moment?"
"Sure..." Ciel walked out.
"You're dead now kid!" War-Rock said.
"WAR-ROCK!" Subaru growled.
"We need to talk about this proposal." Rock said.
Subaru blushed. "Oh yeah, about that......"
"You gonna kill him? And can I help?" War-Rock asked.
"I'm not gonna kill him. I just wanna talk." Rock said.
"Where's the fun in that?" said the program in Subaru's Transer.
Subaru shut the Transer's lid. "There, now we can talk alone...."
"Why did you do it?" Rock asked.
Subaru blushed again. "Well for one thing it was the only way to get
our of your stomach, sorry I tried every other way, I was going to wait
at first but War-Rock said it was the only way to save Roll, you, and
everyone else.... Jake would have killed you otherwise...."
"Oh..." Rock said. "Thanks I guess."
"..... Look I know you don't like me and all....." Subaru said. "But I
really respect you, and I do love Roll....."
"I understand that now..." Rock cracked a smile.
"... So... How's Roll doing?" Subaru asked.
"She's fine." Rock replied.
"Oh good, I was afraid she was going to freak out from that...." Subaru
let out a sigh. "I wanted to wait for the right time, Marisa gave me
the ring after she cured Roll, saying that because of that potion that
I really love her, but I don't want that reason to make me decide.... I
only want to marry Roll when we're ready..."
"Good, I guess I don't have to threaten you after all." Rock smirked.
Subaru's eyes widened. "Threaten me?"
Rock chuckled. "Yes, I was planning to threaten you to call it off, but
I guess I don't have to."
"Oh.... I thought you were going to kill me as soon as I said it...."
Subaru chuckled nervously.
Rock didn't laugh. "If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead by now."
Subaru sweatdropped. "Un, yeah.... So are you going to talk to Silve?"
Rock shook his head. "We've fought too many times. It's better if we
don't get back together, because then we'll just fight more."
Subaru nodded. "... I see."
"Well, come on." Rock started to walk out of the room "We better see
what everyone else is doing."
Heather was dashing around HQ, screaming. "JAKE AND CASKETT ARE GETTING
MARRIED!"
"What?" Dr. Light looked around.
"Who's screaming?" Ashe asked.
"Her." Blues pointed to Heather running in, as she was tackled by Jake.
"QUIET!!" Jake shouted, Caskett stood behind him.
"Congrats guys." Vent said.
"Good for you." Iris smirked.
"Too little, too late, Jake." Rock stood behind the group with Subaru
& Roll.
"I hate you Heather." Jake growled, getting off her.
"I know you do, but you'll need help with planning." Heather said as
she got up. "Caskett needs a bride's maid, and you need a best man. You
can't do all this alone!"
"We got a wedding to plan!" Roll cried.
Caskett said nothing, she stood there blushing.
"You guys okay?" Barrel asked.
"They'll be fine, they're just embarrassed." Heather giggled.
"I'd be if someone just shouted like an idiot that I'm getting
married...." Silve muttered.
"What was that?!?" Heather snapped.
"No fighting, please guys." Blues said.
"Well looks like I'm in for a job again!" Xel popped in.
"Can we get a REAL priest?" Jake sweatdropped.
"Sorry Jake, I'm all ya got!" Xel winked.
"Ok, so we need to figure out when and where it'll be, who will be the
best man and bride's maid.... What else?" Kalinka asked.
Vent sighed. "Do we know anyone that's been married recently? Maybe
they could help?"
Iris & Blues cleared their throats.
"Yeah, too bad we don't know anybody." Marisa said.
"What are we?" Blues growled.
"I guess they forgot..." Iris said.
"No, we're just kidding." Rock chuckled. "So what else do we need?"
Duo groaned. "Um guys, can we plan this wedding AFTER we save the
world?"
"Oh what fun is that?" Heather asked.
Duo slapped his forehead. "I give up with you guys...."
"Duo's right, we have more important things to worry about right this
moment." Caskett said. "We can plan the wedding later, first let's get
to Despair!"
Episode 73: Heather's Trick, Z a
Traitor?
Duo, MegaMan, MegaGirl, Denpa, Protoman, Irasu, Mother Elf, Inutaisho,
Melody, X, Z, Aquarius, MegaMari, Pandora, D-Nightmare, Zero, Colonel,
and Heather in her robot form, Mionna, appeared at their destination.
Data, Rush, Beat, Flip Top & Tango appeared with them.
Everyone else was either on another mission or back at the Zone Cop HQ,
though some of them were wishing they had stayed as well...
"What is this place?" MegaGirl asked.
The area around them was worse than Rock City. The entire place was in
rubble, as if an atom bomb went off. The air was extremely thin, and
seem to be full of toxin. If they were in human form they wouldn't
even be able to breathe.
"This is starting to creep me out...." Mionna said, her shoulder-length
blonde ponytail blowing in the quiet wind.
"Well we can't turn back now." Z snapped.
"How will we know this Despair when we see her?" Aquarius asked.
".... Trust me, you'll know..." Melody sweatdropped.
"So where can we find Despair?" D-Nightmare asked.
"The Despair Prototype Model was sealed in this area." Duo explained.
"My best guess would be if she is no longer here than Dr. Weil &
Wily have her."
"Yeah well judging by the destruction here, I'd say you can be pretty
sure they have her...." Melody said.
"Yes, but the fire-power's scent is still fresh...." Inutaisho said,
sniffing the air. "..... I think they're still here."
"Fine, then we'll split up." Z suggested.
"I don't know if that's such a good idea..." Mother Elf said.
"She might be right, we'll cover more ground that way." Zero said.
"I'll take Blues, Iris & Ciel with me, along with Flip Top."
"Then I'm taking Mionna with me." Z said.
"I'll go with Roll & Subaru, and we'll keep Data with us to keep
him out of trouble...." MegaMan said.
"What?" Data asked in an innocent tone.
"I'm staying with Caskett, I'll take Beat with just in case." Inutaisho
said.
"I'll go with Kalinka, and we'll take Tango." X said.
"I shall stay with Duo, Barrel & Ashe then, and Rush will stay with
us." D-Nightmare said.
"Alright everyone, if someone is in trouble fire a series of shots into
the air, or send your robo animal partner to get the others." Duo said,
as the group split ways.
"So, I just became a Zone Cop more recently, think you can show me the
ropes?" Mionna asked, her robot form's hands and feet were covered in
black armor, while the rest of her body was covered in pink armor. She
carried two swords hilted on her waist, and two on her back.
".... I need your help." Z turned to her.
"What?" Mionna asked.
".... The one called Rock, he's evil." Z said.
Mionna tilted her head. "No he isn't. The rest of them say he's good."
"They are wrong." Z merely said.
Mionna shook her head. "Not my brother and Caskett. They wouldn't lie."
"They are being tricked." Z answered, her tone quite emotionless.
Mionna's eyes widened. "They are? By who?!?"
The long blonde haired Zone Cop grinned. "By an evil person...."
Mionna gripped her sword firmly. "Who is....?"
"Rock, he got a spell from the evil Black Heart and used it on them,
they are being brain washed." Z explained.
"So if I kill this Black Heart person, they'll all be saved?" Mionna
asked.
Z groaned and shook her head. "You must kill the person who did it,
Rock is the host, Black Heart made him so. Kill him, it reverses the
spell before it kills them."
Mionna looked down, something about this didn't quite seem right to
her. ".... Alright..."
"And be quick or they'll catch on to us, before we can remove the
spell. You go back to them and I'll meet you there, okay?" Z asked.
Mionna nodded, dashing off as Z chuckled.
"Find anything yet?" War-Rock asked, over at the end Denpa was
searching.
"..... Seriously, I need to find some way to get you off my arm..."
Denpa groaned.
"Yeah, you do." MegaMan chuckled. "I'd hate to think how he'll annoy
you on your honeymoon otherwise."
MegaGirl's face turned bright as a cherry.
"W-w-w-What?!?" Denpa blushed madly.
"What? Just because you two aren't ready to get married now, doesn't
mean you won't sooner or later." MegaMan teased.
His sister said nothing as she only blushed.
"Looks like you got them there Rock!" Data teased.
But before Denpa could say anything else, Mionna landed in front of
MegaMan, grinning.
"... Mionna? What are you doing over here?" MegaMan asked.
"Shouldn't you be searching with Silve?" Denpa asked.
"No, because I have to do something more important." Mionna said,
crossing her swords and placed them against MegaMan's throat.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Data cried.
"Have you gone mad?!?" Denpa cried.
"GET AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!" MegaGirl screamed.
"You're all being brainwashed by him! Silve said so!" Mionna said, she
shouted not looking at those behind her, her eyes only focused on
MegaMan.
The blue bomber gulped, he didn't dare move over he'd lose his head.
"HE'S MY BROTHER!" MegaGirl cried.
"This is the same girl who he just ticked off not long ago. She's mad
at him." War-Rock said.
"She said Black Heart brainwashed him, and he's brainwashing you."
Mionna said.
"Where's Jake when you need him?" War-Rock asked.
MegaGirl stepped back, she groaned in the back of her throat as she
thought of what to do.... She then slipped out Beat's Whistle, blowing
on it quietly.
"Now take the spell off them or else!" Mionna demanded.
"I haven't done anything!!!" MegaMan cried.
"Heather please, let him go!" MegaGirl cried.
"Oh that does it, Subaru we've got to do something!" War-Rock cried.
"I'm open to ideas...." Denpa groaned.
"Use a Battle Card, dummy." the program on his arm growled.
"Yeah but what that she won't chop MegaMan's head off....?" Denpa
asked. "Wait, I've got it! Thunderball!" he pulled out a card, that
War-Rock ate.
A small ball of electricity shot at at Mionna, it zapped her and
paralyzed her on the spot.
Denpa dashed forward and pulled MegaMan away, pointing his buster at
her. "Now stop right now!"
Mionna hissed, as slowly as gained back control her her body, she leapt
into the air, ready to attack.
"I'll take that as a no." Denpa rolled to the side.
"Mion Split!" Mionna cried. As two copies of herself appeared!
"Hurry up kid or she's gonna kill us!" War-Rock cried.
"Right! Brave Sword!" Denpa pulled out another card that the creature
on his hand ate, transforming into a sword to block Mionna's strikes.
But it didn't last long, and Mionna broke through the sword, crossing
hers across his throat like she did to MegaMan.
"I don't want to hurt you." Mionna said. "But you just might leave me
no choice..."
"Mionna don't!" MegaMan cried, but he couldn't come to his aid as the
two clone Mionnas were in his way.
"SUBARU!!!!" MegaGirl screamed.
"Heather, put your swords down now......" a firm voice came from behind
Heather.
Mionna looked behind her. "Jake? ... But...."
Inutaisho was standing right there, Melody next to him as Beat had
heard the whistle, flying by MegaGirl.
"Now!" Inutaisho ordered.
Mionna frowned, lowering her swords, and the copies disappeared.
Denpa gasped, looking like he was about to faint.
"SUBARU!!!!" MegaGirl leapt over and hugged Denpa tightly, on the verge
of tears.
".... Why did you just try to kill them?!?" Inutaisho growled.
"Silve said something about Rock had a spell put on all of you and he's
evil." Mionna explained. "... I was just trying to help...."
Inutaisho slapped his forehead. "And you believed that?"
"Heather, she obviously has something wrong with her." Melody said.
"Like Aile?" War-Rock suggested.
"I think so." Inutaisho nodded.
"I am so confused right now...." Mionna said.
"You're not the only one....." MegaMan groaned.
Then suddenly, something transported in front of them. It was Z! "Okay
guys, I've got a REAL bone to pick with you about leaving me
behind........ What's going on here?"
Mionna leapt over at Z, glaring at her. "Why did you say Rock was evil
when he wasn't?!"
".... Who is this?" Z asked, pointing at Mionna, a confused look on her
face.
Inutaisho looked confused, along with everyone else. "What are you
talking about? I already introduced her to you, and you told her to
kill Rock!"
"I haven't seen you guys since I slapped Rock and called him a jerk. I
ran out remember?" Z snapped. "And then you guys left me behind at
Marisa's House!!!"
"But.... You came back..." MegaMan said.
Silve shook her head. "No, I stayed outside for a while.... And when I
came back Alice said you guys left!"
"Then who was I talking to?" Mionna asked.
"I have no idea, but it wasn't me..." Z said. "And come on guys, I was
mad but I wouldn't kill Rock!"
"You wouldn't?" MegaMan asked.
Z glared at him. ".... Look even Aile wouldn't really kill you, that
was because of the spell on her."
"Well, someone obviously hates me for some reason." MegaMan asked.
"... Yeah, I wonder why...." Z growled, shooting a death glare at him.
MegaMan shivered a little from the glare.
"So you thought I could be that cold and cruel? You really don't know
me at all, do you?" Z asked.
"I never said anything! It was the rest of them that doubted you!"
MegaMan cried.
Z rolled her eyes. "Sure you did.... Did he believe Heather?"
"Rock didn't say anything.... Or else I was ignoring him." Inutaisho
shrugged.
"Don't remember." Denpa sweatdropped.
"Well he didn't defend you, if that's what you mean." War-Rock said.
"........ Subaru, get that thing away from me if you want to keep your
arm..." MegaMan glared at Denpa.
Denpa jumped behind MegaGirl, shaking.
Z let out a huge sigh, and turned to MegaMan. " ........ I'm sorry I
got mad Rock......."
MegaMan gave her a pathetic look. "I'm sorry I'm a moron...."
"Oh god, hurry and get the MEDICAL KIT! HIS BRAIN IS GOING TO
EXPLODE!!!" MegaGirl screamed.
Her brother groaned, rolling his eyes. "Ha ha, very funny Roll....."
Z chuckled. "At least you admit it."
Inutaisho cleared his throat. "Ok, so who were we talking to if she's
isn't her?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"... Well, there's only one person I can think of that could have done
this...." Xel appeared.
"WILL YOU STOP POPPING IN WHENEVER YOU WANT?!?!?" MegaMan hollered.
"How did you do that?" Mionna asked.
Xel chuckled, and winked. "That is a secret!"
Inutaisho groaned. "Whatever, anyway who do you think it is?"
"Who else?" Xel said. "The very person who turned Aile into the same
type of crazy killer...... Black Heart...."
Episode 74: Complete - Unter Despair
Brandon, Anthony, Morgan, Lizzie, Blaze,
Marlene, Alex, Nicole, Sara & Andrew were still helping with the
damage control in Rock City in their robot forms.
"Man they hit this place hard...." Wolf Knight groaned. "This is taking
forever!"
"SHUT UP BLAZE!" ImPal & Spearman growled.
"You're lucky Jake doesn't kill you for what you did." Sileo reminded
him.
"Hey! It was just a joke!" Wolf Knight protested.
"Well it wasn't funny." Angelman remarked.
"Everyone, this fighting is getting us nowhere." Soldierman sighed.
"He's right, can we please continue with the task at hand?" Valiya
asked.
Parlay groaned. "Are they like this ALL the time?"
Marino & Siya nodded. "Yep."
BOOM! A blast was heard not far off.
"What was that?!?" Marino spun around.
Harpuia, Leviathan, Fefnir & Phantom came tumbling out of a portal,
heavily damaged.
"Ekk!!" Valiya cried.
"What happened to them?!?" ImPal shouted.
But a figure that emerged from the portal answered. A Reploid, about
6'2 and female stepped in front of the group. Unlike other Reploids,
the woman had no form of helmet around her head, making her different
then other Reploids, however, she had features upon her head that
easily define her as machine, such as her ears. Instead of having
normal ears, she had almost oval shaped pieces of metal set on her
head, but the most notable features of these were the large wing-like
plates of metal extending toward the back of her head from the
earpiece, these wing-shaped portions of white and pink-colored metal
resembling bat wings, the 'Veins' of the wings being pink instead of
white.
Hanging under from these same earpieces were small, rectangular bits of
metal, having the same multi-colored state as the butterfly wings
extending from the sides of her earpieces, these bits of metal hanging
down to the sides of her neck in length, about halfway down it. Next of
all, from the sides of her forehead, extending upwards, and slowly
spreading outwards to the sides of her head as the antennae, gray in
color, with strangely blade-like tops, grow in length, and embedded in
her forehead was a seemingly square seem, that was a deep azure color.
Her hair had a shimmering light blue color, almost like shallow ocean
water, or a pool. Her hair was medium-length, kept in a small ponytail
by means of a small band lined by gems. Numerous long bangs hung over
her face. Her hair seemed to be wet, dripping water while clutching to
her skin, namely her face, but not masking her eyes at all.
Her body was built entirely grown, unlike most Reploids, mostly
anatomically correct, meaning she had full functions capable of humans,
her body resembling that of a human's entirely, down to the last
detail. As she was very voluptuous, having a pair of plump, and
realistically firm DD-cup breasts, to match with her slim physique,
paired with round, and wide curvy hips, adding onto it even more with
the large, semi-round, seemingly oval-shaped thighs paired with her
hips, and to finish it off, a round, firm rear. Her large, glowing
crimson eyes were embedded in the backs of each of her hands, the skin
there capable of closing like lids in order to 'Close' the eye, like a
normal eye would when a person blinks. The eyes moved of they’re own
accord.
Her armor was different from the rest of the Reploids in the 21XX age,
her armor not actually being a part of her own body, rather being worn
over it. Starting off, everything below her neck was entirely covered
by a 'Body glove' a skin-tight suit of fabric, form fitting to its
user, this one being a violet color. However, the design of the body
glove ends it around her wrists, so the eyes on her hands were still
visible. Her armor was also different from the rest of her age, being
form-fitting to her body, such as her muscles and skin, her armor on
her forearms being slightly larger due to the muscle just after her
elbows, but thinning around her wrists, while leaving her elbow bare to
the body glove, the forearm 'Gauntlets' have long, thin extended
portions at it's side at go over the elbows when the arm was not bent,
otherwise it seemed to be a large spike.
Her upper arms were also covered by identically form-fitting armor,
both portions being a dark, silvery color, this armor however only
covered a portion of her upper arm, ending just beneath her shoulders,
with only a thin bit of metal in its center extending upwards and
hooking around to the top of her shoulders. Her upper torso was covered
by an identically silver colored armor, almost shaped-like a vest,
having a tall collar, thinner at the back, thicker and wider at the
front covering her neck, at the top of this sleeveless armor, which
then proceeds to cover her torso around her chest, fitting to her
breasts, and her back, and nothing more.
Her legs were simplistically covered by armor in formation similar to
her arms, her upper legs staring with her thighs being covered in
silvery, black-striped form-fitting armor, all the way down to her
knees, which remained uncovered, her legs to the sides, and below her
knees then being covered by armor patterned the same way as her upper
legs until her ankles, where the armor ended, and the metal-plated
shoes, or, 'Boots' possibly, began, having pointed tips at the end of
them, while in the case her arms, when the armor ended around her
wrists, she beared a pair of black gloves, the fingers of which were a
bright crimson, a result of the strange eyes embedded in her hands
melding to the armor.
Lastly, her panty-like armor, hooking around her waist, and between her
legs, but stopping around her crotch, almost accentuating her crotch.
And to top it all off, extending from her back at different points,
were six, large, almost bat-like wings, capable of opening an extending
to wide lengths, and even wrapping entirely around her body, but
otherwise were usually folded against her back.
ImPal, Spearman, Angelman, Wolf Knight & Soldierman stood there
with their mouths gaping open as a waterfall of droll spilled out of
each of them.
"WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU GUYS?!?!" Siya roared.
If looks could kill, Marino & Parlay would have killed ImPal &
Spearman 100 times over. Sileo was starting to be glad that Daniel
didn't come with her.
"What happened to you guys?" Valiya bent down to the Guardians.
"D-D-Despair...." Leviathan choked out weakly.
"That's Despair?!?" Sileo cried. "But how did she get here?"
Despair said nothing, as her cold gaze only seemed to be scaning those
in front of her. She stepped forward from the portal.
"You're not going anywhere, honey!" Siya growled, getting in front of
her.
"WILL YOU GUYS WAKE UP?!!??" Sileo barked at the men who were still
drooling.
Marino and Parlay cracked their knuckles and bashed ImPal &
Spearman over the head.
"OUCH!" they both yelled. "What was that for?!?"
"QUIT DROOLING OVER THE ENEMY!!!" Marino hissed.
"Hey, can we help if she's the hottest girl we've ever seen?" Wolf
Knight joked.
"Kill him first, then your boyfriend." Sileo suggested.
Solderiman shook his head. "This is the one that they released. So we
must stop her!"
Angelman didn't want to come out of his trance, until Sileo kicked him
in the crotch.
Despair looked them over again, before holding up her hands and
speaking very quietly. ".... Dual Shot-Cannons...." Large, Gun-Buster
type weapons were summoned into each of her hands upon being called
upon, and they seemed to be charging.
"Let's get her!" Siya cried, while her forearms reached out with their
large claws to slash the guns... But they didn't even leave a dent!
"Rainbow Laser!!" Valiya cried, placing her hands together to fire a
laser of rainbow light.
Despair leapt into the air and avoided the attack, with a backflip she
landed, her guns still charging.
Marino darted ahead of the group. "Marino Stamp!" she flipped into the
air, coming down with a powerful kick.
Despair gave her a dull look as she moved her arm to block, and with a
full shove from her arm she pushed Marino into Siya.
"Oh now you're dead!" ImPal growled. "Paladin Cannon Multiple Burst!!!"
"Shield Laser!" Spearman held up his shield which fired.
The combo blast exploded all around Despair, smoke covered where she
stood.
"Got her!" ImPal grinned.
But as the smoke clear, Despair stood, unharmed. "....." her eyes fixed
on her two attackers now as she held her guns up high, releasing
immense amounts of lasers that came down on both of them!
"BRANDON!!!" Marino cried.
"Oh you're gonna get it!" Parlay jumped at Despair with her twin swords
drawn, ready for a cross slash.
Despair vanished! Parlay landed and barely was able to regain her
balance just as Despair appeared behind her, this time firing from her
gun a large Plasma Shot that blew Parlay forward into the ground.
"Oh my god..." Soldierman shuttered.
"How dare you!" Angelman hissed, charging forward. "Angel Sp-"
Before he could even strike, Despair was already in front of him, with
a firm punch connected at his gut, and a rough knee between his legs.
She flipped him into the air and fired a normal shot from her gun which
blew him down.
Soldierman, Sileo and Wolf Knight looked at each other for a moment,
before Soldierman stepped forward.
"Nice knowing ya." Wolf Knight remarked.
Despair fired a shot at Wolf Knight's face which knocked him down,
Soldierman took that as an opening and came close to attacking when....
BLAST! Despair had been charging her other gun while the first was
fired at Wolf Knight, sending the laser storm right into Soldierman.
With a spin kick, he was hurled into the air and right into Wolf Knight.
"BEAST OUT!!" Each one of Sileo's many tails gained two gatling guns.
Her buster became a fast-firing machine buster. "FULLFIRE BARRAGE!!"
Despair almost looked like she yawned, with a return fire from one of
the guns she charged the other for quite a long time while easily
avoiding the missiles and gunfire.
Everyone else tried to stand and join Sileo.
"God that lady packs a punch..." ImPal groaned.
"Sileo! We'll assist you!" Soldierman stood up barely.
Each one of them gathered around Sileo, preparing their attacks.
"NO! Don't stand together!!!" Harpuia came to and spoke up.
But it was too late, Despair fired her fully charged gun, it opened up
to release an immense storm of Plasma powered lasers, enhanced to the
point to where they were as powerful as the single lasers from the
laser storm, only in far more many amounts, bounding between
targets, electrocuting them with plasma, as they were all near
Sileo everyone was hit hard!
.... And with that final attack, everybody fell to the ground and
reverted back to human form, each in what seemed critical condition as
the attacked seemed to have damaged past their robot form.
Despair stood silent, looking over the damage, then jumped back into
the warp hole.
Episode 75: Battle With Despair! Guys
With Girls in Fear!
"Think we should go look for them?" Pandora asked while they still
waited in the waste land zone where they had believed Despair to be.
"We should remain at our post." Duo said.
X, Aquarius & Tango came walking back.
"Hey! Did you find anything?" Colonel asked.
"Nope." X shook his head.
"Not a thing." Aquarius groaned.
Protoman, Zero, Mother Elf, Irasu & Flip Top came back as well.
"Nothing... Not a single thing." Protoman growled.
"Did you hear something?" D-Nightmare asked.
"What?" Irasu shrugged.
The sound of powerful thrusters blazing could be heard nearby. A silver
blur came crashing down towards them. It crash-landed in the ground
near D-Nightmare, revealing itself to be a man in silver armor. The
armor didn't cover his eyes, though. His eyes were covered by a cobalt
visor. He carried some heavy firepower on his shoulders and in his
right hand. On his left wrist was a beam blade projector. Oh his back
was a large sack strapped on.
"WHAT THE HELL?!?" Zero darted in front of Mother Elf, ready to attack.
"Darn thrusters!!!" the man cursed.
D-Nightmare rolled his eyes. "Gourry, you've really gotta work on your
landings."
The man stood up and shrugged. "You know that I still haven't gotten
used to this form yet."
"Wait, you know him?" Mother Elf asked.
D-Nightmare nodded. "Sorry about that. This is Gourry Sandrinov, one of
the elite units of the Zone Cops. He's currently in his Hyper Mode,
known as Gaukaizer."
MegaMari blinked. ".... You people have issues."
Gaukaizer grumbled. "My thrusters malfunctioned."
"And why didn't you just use the teleporter?" Pandora asked.
"Don't have one installed yet." Gaukaizer answered.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Then how did you get here from Zone Cop HQ? You're not making any
sense..." Protoman said.
"I ended up using a warp gate to get out to the HQ here, then I had to
use my thrusters to get here." Gaukaizer explained.
X rolled his eyes with a groan. "Again, why? Why not warp here in the
first place?"
"The warp gate didn't have these coordinates." Gaukaizer said.
"Well that makes no sense at all." Colonel snarled. "We just came from
there." he held his sword high. "I don't trust this guy..."
Gaukaizer sighed. "Let's just say that the place where I was originally
stationed at didn't know about this area."
"It's the truth." Duo stepped in. "Gourry was stationed at a different
Zone Cop HQ. But how did you find out about our mission?"
"The four Guardians dropped off the radar, sir." Gaukaizer said. "Nana
called for back up, so I came."
"Dropped off the radar?!?" Duo cried. "Oh no, something must have
happened to them!"
"Nana's trying to pinpoint their last signal." Gaukaizer said. "She'll
transport us all there once she gets it. Oh, that reminds me..." he
opened the sack on his back and a robot tumbled out. Ailias!
"What the? How do you have her?!?" Zero cried.
"This lady attacked me on my way here." he shrugged. "Do you know her?"
"Yeah, she's one of the bad guys." Flip Top shuddered.
"No, she's actually neutral." Zero said. "She's a grim reaper for robot
souls. HEY KILLERZERO! GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE NOW!"
A black roar of flames appeared in front of Zero, taking the shape of
the grim reaper robot. "This had BETTER be good...."
"It is." the red Reploid said, pointing down at the girl on the ground.
"Ailias!" KillerZero cried. "You did get her! But did you have to
almost kill her?!?"
Ailias' body was badly damaged, sparking even. She shook violently.
"Maybe I can heal her with my powers..." Mother Elf said, holding her
hands over the damaged girl.
After a soft warm glow, the girl sat up and held her head. "... Oh
dear... How did I get here... KZ!" she suddenly hugged KillerZero in
front of her.
"Oh that's why you wanted me to save her..." Zero rolled his eyes.
"SHUT UP!" KillerZero snapped, a blush across his face. "Ailias is just
a close friend, that's all!"
Ailias blushed as well and backed up a bit. "... Who are you?"
........ Everyone sweatdropped.
"You are kidding right?" X chuckled. "You tried to kill us!"
Ailias gasped. "I WHAT?!?"
"Now, now..." KillerZero shot a glare at X. "She was being controlled,
not her fault."
"Hey, you can track near dead robots right?" Zero asked, holding his
chin.
The reaper looked at him confused. "... Of course I can, why?"
"I see where you're going with this." Duo cried. "The guardians! If
they're near death, maybe you can find them!"
KillerZero pursed his lips together. ".... I suppose I could. Hmm.... I
shall search then. Zero..." he turned to the red Reploid. "Use the
Hyper Mode I gave you to transport. Gather your friends together and
you'll be able to use my powers to reach the location once I find it."
"I am so sorry...." Ailias whimpered.
"That's ok girl." MegaMari smiled. "I healed the damaged you caused.
The girl is fine that you poisoned."
"I poisoned someone?!?" Ailias cried. "Oh great, now I feel worse!"
KillerZero groaned. "Ailias, let's get you home. You're safe now. Zero,
once you are all gathered, I'll telepathically send you the location
through your Hyper Mode."
Zero nodded. "Alright. Good luck."
KillerZero nodded, and the black flames appeared once more, the two
reapers disappeared.
"We better find the others then." Pandora said.
"Rush, go get MegaMan." Duo said.
"Arf!" the robot dog nodded and leapt into the air, changing into jet
mode as he darted off.
It took a few hours for Rush to reach MegaMan and the others, who were
on their way back.
"Is that Rush?" Inutaisho pointed up.
"It is! What is it, boy?" MegaMan asked.
"Arf! Arf!" Rush turned around, leading back to the other group.
"I suppose he wants us to follow him." Xel shrugged. "Shall I teleport
us all there to get there faster?"
"Oh yeah, like we can trust that..." Z grumbled.
"Don't have much of a choice, what if the others are in danger?"
MegaGirl pointed out.
"Let's go then!" Denpa cried.
Xel nodded, and with a glow of his staff they were back at the point
they had first arrived in this zone, he even transported Rush back.
"Whoa!" Protoman fell over in surprise when they showed up.
"What's going on?" Melody asked. "What happened?!?"
"We'll explain on the way." Zero changed into his Hyper Mode. ".......
Oh no......" his eyes widened.
"What's wrong?" Mother Elf asked.
"Zero, what happened? Where are the guardians?" Duo asked.
Zero shuddered. ".... The location is.... Rock City!"
It didn't take Zero long to transport Duo, MegaMan, MegaGirl, Denpa,
Protoman, Irasu, Mother Elf, Inutaisho, Melody, X, Z, Aquarius,
MegaMari, Pandora, D-Nightmare, Gaukaizer, Colonel, Mionna, Data, Rush,
Beat, Flip Top & Tango to the war zone. In a burst of black flames
they appeared in the middle of ground zero.
"Oh my god!" MegaGirl shrieked.
"Are they alive?" Z shuddered.
Mother Elf rushed to each one, using a Cyber Elf power on them. "....
They'll be alright, but they're all injured badly." she reverted them
back to their robot forms. "There... In human form they might have died
if left here untreated."
"But what happened?" Mionna asked.
"Des.... Despair...." ImPal spoke slowly.
"Despair?!?" Melody cried. "Oh my! That means Dr. Doppler has her!"
MegaMan spun around. "Where'd Xel go? Didn't he transfer with us?"
"You know how that psycho priest comes and goes." Inutaisho grumbled.
Marino groaned. "... We really got beaten by her easily, none of our
attacks worked."
"But man.... She was hot!" Wolf Knight was drooling.
MegaMari blinked. "..... You were drooling over the enemy?"
"Blaze, shut up before I kill you." Slieo hissed.
"Hey what's that?" Denpa pointed to an arrow in the sky. It was heading
towards them.
"Shoot it down, kid!" War-Rock grumbled.
Denpa shrugged, and shot at the arrow, making it change course.
Melody shuddered. "EVERYONE DUCK!"
KA-BOOM! The arrow struck a building almost out of sight of the
group.... But it was so powerful it not only destroyed the building,
but the area around as well! A crater the size of a city block was left
behind, barely missing the group.
"WHAT THE?!?" Inutaisho's jaw dropped.
"Despair.... She's near." Melody cried. "That was her attack, the
Sagitta. Thank god it wasn't charged."
"SAY WHAT?!?" Protoman cried.
"The Sagitta, named for a Stellar Constellation, is mostly a one-use
weapon, but at the same time, there is a great reason for it." Melody
explained. "Though it may seem like an ordinary bow and arrow weapon,
despite it's odd appearance, it's destructive power is MASSIVE, the
weapon having three levels..."
"Three levels?!" Aquarius gulped.
Melody nodded. "A single arrow capable of destroying a city block when
uncharged, while when fully charged, it is capable of leveling an
entire city, which is why Despair chooses to be far from her enemy when
using this, because she is not spared from the destructive power of her
own weapon." she shuddered as she explained this.
"Holy cow..." Inutaisho said. "Wait then that means...."
And there she was, Despair, right behind the group as she came up
slowly.
"That she was on here way back here." Melody gulped. "I think that
arrow was to finish off the group here."
Despair shot a glare at each one, casting the bow in her hand to the
side. A massive sword sat in her right hand, the blade was eight feet
in length and five inches thick. The sword had no guard, instead,
attaching directly to the foot-long, crimson hilt of the sword, was a
gear at the top of it running through the sword, and the hilt, passing
through the hilt at around seven inches, not disturbing single-handed
wielding of the sword. The gear spun, and the blade of the sword was
enveloped in bright crimson energy, empowering the blade.
"What kind of a sword is that?" MegaGirl cried.
"The Berserker..." Melody explained, as everyone turned to her since
she had studied everything about the Mother of All Elves. "It's a
massive sword formed of a compound of many metals, and steels, both
natural and manufactured, but as well, enhanced by energy."
"What's with the gear?" Pandora asked.
"The gear for the purpose of the sword, is used for many things."
Melody continued her explanation. "First off, decreasing the blades
length, when spun, it is capable of folding the blade into itself to
shorten it, to a minimum of five feet, or extend it to it's maximum of
eight, while also, when spun, it can be used to increase the power of
the sword, as it will not stop spinning unless stopped by Despair
herself." she turned to see that not one of the guys were listening to
her, in fact they were drooling like the others had at the sight of
Despair.
"Man... Blaze was right, she is hot....." War-Rock muttered.
"AHEM!" Melody cleared her throat.
But the guys didn't snap back to attention, instead a mountain of drool
spilled out from each of them.
"HEY!" Sileo whacked D-Nightmare in the head. "STOP LOOKING AT HER!"
Aquarius hissed and punched X in the face, MegaGirl elbowed Denpa while
kicking War-Rock's head, Irasu glared at Protoman, Ciel bonked Zero,
and Melody stomped on Inutaisho's foot.
"STOP DROOLING!" the girls screamed at them.
Z shrugged and decided to get in on the fun and bash MegaMan in the
head.
"What was that for?!?" he growled.
"Eh, it looked like fun so I thought I'd join in." Z chuckled softly.
"Just because the other guys got smacked back to reality by their
girlfriends doesn't mean they're not going to be dead after this for
drooling at her."
"Doesn't explain hitting me still..." MegaMan muttered.
Z glared at him. "Well I WAS your girlfriend but now I see that your
attitude I could never put up with. Seeing this side of you is what
disturbs me. And you not even knowing the real me bothered me further,
how else could you have fallen for that trap and ACTUALLY believe I'd
be that evil?" she hissed.
"I never said that I did!" MegaMan protested.
"Why do I even waste my breath?" she grumbled, and stepped forward.
"Come on, Despair. Think you can take us all on?"
"HOLD ON A SECOND!" MegaGirl growled, fire in her eyes. "SHE'S MINE!"
she changed to her Beast Out.
Denpa gulped, and War-Rock snickered. "She's funny when she's jealous."
"Let's tag team her, Roll." Melody growled, shooting a death glare at
Inutaisho.
He gulped. "I'm dead..."
"Yeah, if Despair doesn't get us, our girlfriends will." X groaned.
Aquarius glared at X. "Girlfriend? What girlfriend?"
X sweatdropped. "Oh... Well.... Um..... I was just thinking..... You
know, you and me..." he chuckled weakly. "I mean, why else do you care
that I was looking at her?"
Aquarius blushed madly. "... Umm... Well..... I...... Er......"
He smirked and kissed her.
"Okay, romance later, destroy crazy lady first!" MegaMari groaned.
MegaGirl roared in her Beast Out, firing her buster of sharp feathers
at Despair, while Melody shot off a series of hearts that came from her
guitar.
Saying nothing at all, Despair swung her massive sword to slice each
attack with ease, though as she moved the sword was thinning, the blade
was four inches think now, and six feet in length.
"Why is the sword thinning?" Pandora asked.
"Hey, I don't know." Duo shrugged. "Caskett was the one that studied
her."
As Despair kept swinging her sword to block the attacks, the sword kept
thinning, but widening out to the almost star shaped tip of the sword,
having two extending, blade-like portions from the sides of the blade,
making the blade width just before the end around six feet, while then
narrowing to three inches for the tip that formed between the two
bladed ends of the 'Star' at the end of the sword.
"Oh no, look out Roll!" Melody cried.
MegaGirl was too busy though charged in with her claws to hear her, as
Despair took her changed sword and slashed her violently, canceling her
Beast Out and kicking her to the ground.
"Roll!" Denpa cried, firing at Despair and rushing to her side.
Despair hissed, and swung her sword at them again, but was blocking by
Zero's sword.
"Not so fast..." the red Reploid said, still in Hyper Mode.
"You're going down." D-Nightmare charged in with a strike.
Despair huffed, and held out her buster on her left arm, she had been
charging it since the beginning of the battle! She released an immense
storm of plasma powered lasers which hit each target, pinning them to
the ground.
"GAH!! Not this attack again!" Spearman hollered.
Melody winced as she hit the ground. "... The Dual Shot-Cannons... That
was the seventh stage of charging..."
Despair's eyes glanced at the group. "...... Your end is near...."
Episode 76: Despair Resistance, Truth
About Xel!
"We've got to think of something fast
before she charges that attack again!" Melody cried, as Despair was
charging her Dual Shot-Cannons again.
"I'm open to suggestions, since everything we try seems to do no
damage!" MegaMan growled.
At that moment, Dr. Psyche, Prometheus, Black Heart & Sheshaman
appeared.
"Despair! There's where you ran off to!" Dr. Psyche hissed.
Despair turned to the doctor with a cold sneer on her face.
"Well at least she's doing her job." Prometheus shrugged.
"Yes but not on our orders." Black Heart pointed out.
"Dr. Weil warned you about this Dr. Doppler." Sheshaman said.
"Oh shut up!" Dr. Psyche barked. "If he and Wily can just run off like
they did, it's best they're not on this project anymore. I just in a
way wished that idiot Quint would have stayed with us, we could have
used his Planet Robots to aid us."
"We're more than enough." Prometheus argued.
"Now Despair, I think you have a job you were going to finish?"
Sheshaman grinned.
"....." Despair's eyes trailed from those on the ground and those
standing up. Without a word, she suddenly fired her Dual Shot-Cannons
at Black Heart!
"WHAT THE?!?" the sorceress cried, her amulets glowed with a protection
light that barely stopped the attack from hitting her. "What's wrong
with her?"
"Simple, she refuses to be controlled." Dr. Psyche grit his teeth. "So
she'll just destroy everything in her path because she's still in
Berserk Mode from being woken up!"
"Some alarm clock you guys are." MegaMari remarked.
"You shut up!" Prometheus snapped.
"You're not getting away with this Matt!" Inutaisho was the first to
rise to his feet. "All of you, stay down. Despair apparently won't
attack you yet while these guys are standing."
"But Jake..." Melody whimpered.
"Black Heart, you handle Despair." Sheshaman hissed. "I'll take care of
this idiot."
"Please, I can handle him too." Black Heart hurled a purple beam of
light towards Inutaisho.
The beam was blocked by a sword, and Black Heart was shoved forward
towards Despair. "That's enough. He's mine to deal with." Sheshaman
scowled.
"Jake...." Melody tried to get up, but Inutaisho stopped her.
"I have to do this." he said, kissing her once and dashing forward with
his sword towards Sheshaman.
The two brothers clashed with their swords, Sheshaman yawning in
boredom as he effortlessly blocked Inutaisho's slashes.
At the same time, Black Heart & Dr. Psyche were attacking Despair,
who they couldn't even land a hit on.
"Is all we're going to do is sit here and watch?!?" MegaGirl growled.
"We have no choice, if we get up Despair might switch targets." Duo
pointed out.
"But Jake..." Melody whimpered, watching the battle.
Sheshaman launched a lightning bolt from his sword which Inutaisho
dodged, causing it to hit Black Heart and forcing her into Despair's
attack.
"HEY I'M ON YOUR SIDE MORON!" the sorceress screamed while being blown
back, then snarled at Sheshaman. "Watch where you aim your stupid
weapons!"
Sheshaman ignored her and slashed at his brother, who just barely
blocked the blow. Just then Black Heart hurled another beam of dark
energy their way, towards Inutaisho this time.
Inutaisho tried to dodge, but was hit by Sheshaman's sword from the
left, causing Black Heart's shot to hit, and him to fall to the ground.
"JAKE!" Mionna cried.
Melody couldn't take it, she jumped up and aimed her shooting guitar
notes at Sheshaman.
"Hmph. A lady as lovely as you deserves better than this trash...." the
twin said as he dodged her attacks with a grin, stepping on his
brother's back and canceling his robot form.
"SHUT UP AND GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Melody growled, hurling a heart chain
from her guitar at him.
Sheshaman stepped on Jake's back, causing him to groan while catching
her chain with one hand, and pulling her closer, then her chin with the
other. "I only speak the truth my dear."
Melody spat at his face. "I'd rather die than be with you."
"I can grant that wish." he offered.
Right then Despair fired her cannons again, hitting everyone in the
area except for those around Sheshaman, for some reason there was a
powerful barrier around him, emitting off his armor.
"MATT! We can use some help here!" Dr. Psyche growled, as he and the
other were pinned down by Despair.
"Get your own help." Sheshaman sneered. "I'm busy with personal
affairs." he took Melody's chain to wrap it around her body and keep
her close, while raising his sword above his head with one hand, the
other holding the chain now. "I'll give you one last chance."
Melody didn't budge. "No. Kill us both if you want, but I'll never join
you."
Sheshaman scowled. "Pity. You would have made a fine addition to my
team."
"JAKE! CASKETT!!!" Mionna cried, but she couldn't get up from the
damage.
"Gah! Gotta do something kid!" War-Rock cried.
"How?" Denpa panted. "None of us can move after Despair's attack!"
"Goodbye Caskett, goodbye brother." Sheshaman grinned, flicking his arm
to strike.
TINK! A sword blocked his suddenly, and cut the chain to free Melody.
"What the?!?" Sheshaman blinked in surprise at the glowing Z-Saber in
front of his face.
"... Leave... Them.... Alone!" growled the girl in a red robot form in
front of him now. The green jewel on her helmet shinning brightly with
her long blonde hair flowing out of the helmet.
"Aile!" X cried weakly.
It was ZX, standing there and pushing Sheshaman off of Jake, who Melody
attended to right away.
"You're going to PAY for using me!" ZX snarled.
Sheshaman arched an eyebrow. ".... I'm impressed. You've broken free of
Black Heart's mind control have you?"
"With a little help!" an annoying voice cried as Xel appeared.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?" MegaMan hollered.
"I went back to the base to see if Aile was recovering, it ended up I
was able to help remove the spell after the Zone Cop's effort made it
easier for me to finish." Xel explained. "Before the spell was too
strong for me to remove."
"XELLIOUS!!!" Black Heart's eyes widened and she leapt to her feet.
"What are you doing with these brats?!?"
Sheshaman blinked. "You know him?"
"Of course I do! He's my younger brother!" Black Heart growled.
"HE'S WHAT?!??!!?!?!?!?!" everyone's jaws in the area dropped....
Except for Despair of course who had no idea what everyone was having a
fit about.
"Oh now this is just twisted..." Sheshaman held his head. "Why didn't
you tell me you had a brother on THEIR side?"
"Because I didn't know he was with them!" Black Heart snapped. "I
thought the little prick was far away from here!"
"Awww sis, you know I just love to mess things up for you." Xel grinned
widely.
"MIND explaining why you didn't tell US that she's your sister?!?"
ImPal growled.
"Would you have trusted me if I told you I'm the brother of your
enemy?" the priest asked.
"Nope." Protoman shrugged.
"So I had to lie, to gain your trust so I could help." Xel said. "I
like to meddle in my big sister's plans, it's fun."
"Meaning this is all just a stupid game to you!" Colonel growled.
"Hmmm.... Yeah." Xel chuckled.
Looking bored, Despair fired another round of her fully charged Dual
Shot-Cannons.
"Look out!" Pandora cried. "She's firing again!"
Sheshaman sweatdropped. "Black Heart, I'm afraid I'll have to retreat
for now."
"YOU %#@$%ING MORON! YOU SAID THIS WOULD WORK!!!" Black Heart cursed.
"It would have, if you hadn't messed up." he said before leaving
through a portal.
"WHERE DID I MESS UP YOU MORON?" Black Heart hollered, but it was no
use as he was already gone and the portal closed.
"Guys...." Aquarius shuddered as the laser storm was about to come
crashing down on them.
"Dark Lord of the underworld, protect me with thy power!" Black Heart
chanted, as she, Dr. Psyche & Prometheus were protected by a
barrier of black energy.
"Everyone, gather around me!" Xel cried.
"Can we trust him?" Z asked.
"I don't think we have a choice!" Zero cried.
Melody nodded and carried Jake over, who was knocked out from his
brother's attack. Everyone else gathered around the purple haired man.
Xel held his staff in the air and the red jewel on it glowed brightly.
"Water Spirit which dwells on extinction, flesh which extends life of
mortal beings, manipulate the waves of the sea of blue, bubble ring of
protection! Aqua Ring!"
A bright, blue ring appeared around the group, surrounding them as it
circled around them. The laser storm came crashing down, but the ring
absorbed the energy and none of them were hit. In fact, while inside
the ring, they felt their wounds heal and their energy return slowly.
"Aile...? Are you really back?" X asked.
ZX nodded, hugging her brother tight. "Yep. Finally."
X smiled. "Good to have you back, sis."
ZX pulled back and looked at the others. "Guys.... I'm really sorry
about everything I did when-"
MegaMan interrupted her. "Don't Aile, you were under their control and
couldn't help yourself."
Z nodded. "Everything you did during that we can forgive, you weren't
yourself at all."
ZX smiled weakly. "Thanks guys."
Jake stirred and opened his eyes. "... Unnn... Damn that Matt...."
"Jake?" Melody asked with her voice full of hope, setting him down.
"Crap... He always was the better.... Fighter....." Jake said between
pants.
"What are you talking about Jake?" Irasu asked.
"My brother. I've never been able to beat him." Jake muttered.
"Jake, he got away." Melody said. "He left just as Despair attacked
again, Xel's protecting us but I don't know how long it'll last."
"Dang it!" Jake slammed his fist into the floor.
"What are you doing?" Mother Elf asked.
"I'm weak. I should have been able to beat him." Jake growled.
"Don't be crazy. He was too hard for all of us." Denpa pointed out.
Jake shook his head. "I know, but... I feel like I've let the team
down..."
"DON'T SAY THAT!" Mionna & Melody shouted.
"Jake, you've helped all of us!" Data stepped in.
"Yeah, when Aile was under Black Heart's control you held her off
before she might have killed someone." MegaMan pointed out. "Even if
you thought she was only doing it out of anger."
"You could never let any of us down." Melody whimpered.
"Your brother and Black Heart got the better of us." Spearman said.
ImPal nodded. "Yeah, they brainwashed Aile, captured Blues and Iris..."
"Impersonated me." Z added.
"And released this monster of a Reploid." D-Nightmare finished.
"Yeah but how do we stop her?" Sileo asked.
"Don't ask me, she totally caught us off guard." Harpuia said.
ZX sighed and walked over to MegaMan & Z. ".... Well I really do
have to say I'm sorry for..... About before, Black Heart used my pain
to get into my mind and turn it into rage."
"Pain?" the blue bomber blinked in confusion.
Z sighed, seeming to understand. "... I'm sorry Aile."
ZX shook her head. "No, I just lost it when I saw you guys and well....
Right before I was sorting it out that I shouldn't had been so jealous
Black Heart got me. Matt tricked me into thinking he was Jake and I
didn't see her coming." she explained.
MegaMan suddenly looked like he was figuring this out. "Wait... Are you
trying to say that you....."
MegaGirl slapped her head at how slow her brother was being.
ZX nodded, a blush across her face. ".... I'm in love with you Rock,
but..... I saw you and Silve together and it drove me insane, because
right before I was going to tell you...... I saw you kissing her."
MegaMan's jaw dropped. "So that's why you..."
She nodded quietly. "Yeah... Sorry. But that was because of Black
Heart's spell I acted that way. I know it should be your choice, and
I'll leave you and Silve alone....." she sighed.
MegaMan & Z sadly looked at each other, both with a quiet nod. "We
broke up." they said together.
ZX's eyes widened. "... Y-you did? B-but why....?"
MegaMan sighed. "We fought a lot."
"So it didn't work out." Z added.
"Oh... S-sorry...." ZX blushed and looked away.
"It's ok, no worse than how Rock's been acting towards Subaru lately."
War-Rock chuckled. "He's been a total jerk to the kid since he kissed
Roll."
"Huh?" ZX turned Denpa's hand that had been transformed into War-Rock's
head.
"You want to die, don't you?" Denpa growled.
"You could say he wanted to kill him, espically after he proposed to
her." War-Rock snickered.
ZX blinked in surprise and turned to MegaMan.
"Well I had a very good reason for that...." he mumbled.
MegaGirl narrowed her eyes. "And that was?"
Her brother looked away. ".. I don't know how to explain it...."
Jake chuckled. "Oh, I do. Quite simply, he's a guy. And every guy's
initial reaction when their sister gets a boyfriend is to hate him."
MegaGirl grumbled and shook her head. "That's stupid. Did I act like
that when you were with Silve?"
Before MegaMan could answer Jake did. "You're a girl. I know it sounds
dumb, and I'm insulting myself, but girls have always been smarter and
more understanding when it comes to anything involving love or dating."
he shrugged.
Melody smiled and Mionna giggled.
"Actually it proves you have brains saying that." MegaMari remarked.
"I never said guys weren't smart at others things, we just suck when it
comes to love." Jake replied.
MegaMan rolled his eyes. "You're not helping here dude...."
"REALLY CAN YOU GUYS SETTLE THIS CRAP AFTER WE SAVE OUR BUTTS?!?!?" Xel
screamed, having a hard time keeping the protection ring up. "That
won't matter if we're dead after this!!!"
"He's got a point people!" Zero snapped. "Settle that later."
"Reploids...." Mother Elf rolled her eyes.
Colonel chuckled and pat her shoulder. "He does have a point, Ciel."
"I have a solution." Wolf Knight said.
"YOU?" ImPal & Spearman stared at him in disbelief.
"Oh god help us, any idea he has can't be good." Jake muttered.
"Either that or the world's about to come to an end if he can make a
brillant suggestion." Siya snickered.
"Ha ha, very funny guys." Wolf Knight snarled. "You all really have
that much of lack in faith in me?"
"No offense Blaze, but you've been nothing but trouble since you
joined." Duo shrugged.
"And the worst moron of the Zone Cops..." Spearman mumbled.
"I HEARD THAT!" Wolf Knight growled.
"Anthony! Daniel's got that title!" ImPal argued.
"EXCUSE ME?!?" D-Nightmare hissed.
"Blaze, just tell us." Soldierman groaned.
Wolf Knight shrugged. "....... Run away while she kills those morons."
he pointed to how Despair was breaking through Black Heart's protection
and starting to beat them up.
Everyone just glared at him.
Jake groaned. "Knew he couldn't come up with anything useful....."
Episode 77: Taking Down Despair
"We can't stay in here forever people."
Xel grunted, he looked tired and his ring of protection flickered a bit
as Despair was attacking it now, having finished with Black Heart and
the rest, who were defeated on the ground.
"Doesn't anybody have any ideas?" Jake asked, trying to transform but
his robot form was still damaged.
"I told you guys mine." Wolf Knight said.
"He meant ideas worth wild." Spearman remarked.
CRASH! A bit of the ring broke and Despair got an attack through,
hitting Sileo.
"Marlene!" D-Nightmare cried, an aura of pure rage surrounded him.
"Oh crap, Daniel's gonna go berserk." ImPal slapped his forehead.
D-Nightmare entered his Hyper Mode, ShadowMage.
"Oh great, we're dead." Siya groaned. "First Despair will kill him
after he goes berserk on her, then she'll take the rest out on us."
"Well, Project Alterria was also created as means to comfronting
Despair if she was ever released, wasn't it Caskett?" Soldierman asked.
Melody nodded. "Yes, that's what it was first tested for, knowing that
Despair could destroy us all if released."
"It might just be the counter we need." Angelman said.
"Or Daniel's screwed." X remarked.
ShadowMage had a psychotic look in his eyes. "Dread Father Sithis,
Master of the Void, Taker of Life, grant me the power you possess. Let
us walk and fight as one, to crush the fools who dare block our path."
"The Dark Boost!" Melody cried.
ShadowMage formed a globe of dark energy in his hands. "Darkness, rise
to my hands. Decimate the fools who stand in my path! ARMAGEDDON
CANNON!!" Suddenly, what looked like the Megiddo Cannon, but darker,
appeared on his hands and fired rapidly at Despair.
Using her Berserker, she blocked each cannon shot that came at her.
"Dang it!" Zero growled. "Isn't there any way to beat her?"
"Flames of hatred, blaze forth by my command. Obliterate those who
stand against me and raze the areas they stand upon. BURN THEM TO THE
VERY ASHES OF THEIR EXISTENCE!! BLAZE FORTH, SEARING LIGHT!! COME
FORTH, DRAGONSLAYER SWORD!!" ShadowMage hollered as the massive blade
came into his hands, hurling it at his foe.
Holding her Sagitta, Despair shot the arrow into the attack as they
exploded together into a massive charge of darkness. Xel's ring was
destroyed and he barely brought up another barrier to protect the
others around him, or else they would have been caught in the
cross-fire.
Despair herself was pushed back a bit from the backfire of the attacks,
as was ShadowMage, who was panting in exhaustion.
"Holy crap, we're dead." MegaMan shivered.
"What makes you say that?" ZX asked.
"Because that's Daniel's most powerful attack, and she didn't even seem
to take a dent!!" MegaMan cried.
"Rock's right, we're screwed." Protoman said.
"There's got to be some way to defeat her." Sileo winced, grabbing at
her wound.
Despair growled and came closer to them. "This ends now."
"Un-oh." Mother Elf gulped.
"Fire everyone! Maybe she can't take all our attacks at once!" Duo
cried.
"You won't get the chance." Despair said, and in a blink of an eye she
was behind Marino & Parlay, firing her Duel-Shot Cannons into their
backs.
"AHHH!!!" both girls cried as their robot forms broke.
"Lizzie!" Spearman cried.
"Morgan!!" ImPal shouted.
"Next...?" Despair tilted her head.
"YOU'RE DEAD LADY!!!" ImPal growled, jumping into the air and attacking
with full speed as he fired his cannon, Spearman right behind him
shooting the laser from his shield.
"Useless." Despair said, and with that she fired her Sagitta again, as
the arrow hit the twins they were caught up in a huge explosion!
"Oh no!" Denpa cried.
"Anthony! Brandon!!" Irasu cried.
Morgan & Lizzie cried out their names as well as they saw the two
in the explosion.
But inside the blast, slowly, ImPal caught fire, and a block of ice
surronded Spearman.
"And next..." Despair turned to ther others, but stopped when she heard
something from the blast sight,
The ice burst open and the flames dispersed. When they were gone, the
two robot forms had changed to be both human and demonic.
"Looks like we activated the God Program Anthony." said the one that
came from the flames.
The one that broke free from the ice nodded. "Appears so Brandon."
"What are they talking about?" MegaGirl asked.
"The God Program, it was similiar to Daniel's project, much like Hyper
Modes." Melody explained. "They finally unlocked it!"
"Brandon... Is that you?" Morgan asked. "But what are these forms?"
The one from the fire, obviously Brandon, nodded. "Mine's Kajikami, the
Fire God, and Anthony's is Mizukami, the Water God."
"Now...." Mizukami right then grabbed his ice whip and wrapped it
around Despair's neck, bringing her face-to-face with him. "Give up now
or I'll ram my sword through your chest."
Despair hissed and fired her Dual Shot-Cannons, thought she only got it
up to first level of charging, it was enough to break his whip's grip
on her.
"Finally. I get to test this new form out. Kaji Flare!" Kajikami's
sword caught fire, and he slashed in the air, sending a flaming
shockwave at Despair.
The flames came come, but Despair flipped into the air, barely dodging
as the flames barely grazed her right leg. She froze for just a moment,
but spun up and kicked Kajikami in the face.
Melody blinked. "Did she just stand still for a moment?" she muttered.
Despair hissed and fired her cannons again, blowing the two back.
"Screen Dive!" Colonel came in hurling with his sword.
Despair glared, then fired a quick shot at him, just as Zero &
Protoman slashed her back with their swords.
"Dang, not even a dent!" Zero cursed.
Despair flipped backwards and kicked Zero in the head, then shot
Protoman as they both dropped their swords, Protoman's sword fell and
slashed at Despair's right leg, she froze for a moment, a small cut was
made on the back of her knee.
Melody's eyes widened. "That's it!"
"What is?" Jake looked at her confused.
Mizukami cracked his whip out again, this time grabbing Despair's leg
and pulling her down just as she jumped in the air to strike again.
"Brandon! Anthony!" Melody cried out. "I think her weakness is on the
back of her right knee!"
"Gotcha!" Kajikami cried, moving in.
"Not so fast." Despair hissed, blocking him with her own sword.
"Forget me?" Mizukami chuckled, wrapping his whip around her waist this
time and pulling her down to the ground. "Now Brandon!"
The Fire God leapt high into the air, and slammed his sword just above
the back of her right knee. A spark filled Despair's body, and she
froze completely in place.
"She's down for good now, because most of her abilities require her to
be able to move." Melody explained.
Despair growled on the ground, cursing many words at the group.
Duo came over and grabbed her. "Gourry, grab the rest."
Gaukaizer rushed over and grabbed the fallen Dr. Psyche &
Prometheus.
"Where's Black Heart?" MegaMan asked.
"I'm afraid my sister has once again fled." Xel grumbled.
"You still have a LOT of explaining to do, priest!" Jake glared at him.
The purple haired man grinned. "That is a secret! And we'll meet
again!" he waved his staff which glowed, and with that he vanished.
"I hate that guy..." Jake mumbled.
Mizukami & Kajikami panted softly, barelt standing.
"You guys ok?" Aquarius asked.
"Just exhausted and damaged a bit, let's get back to the base."
Mizukami said.
Morgan jumped into Kajikami's arms. "Oh Brandon! I was so worried about
you!"
"Easy Morgan, I'm damaged goods too you know." he joked.
Despair struggled hard against Duo's grip, but with the stab at her
weak point she couldn't break free.
"Let's lock these 3 up and call it a day." Harpuia said.
"What about Dr. Wily & Quint?" MegaMan asked. "They're still out
there."
"Yes but I think they got out when Despair went nuts." Colonel said.
"Dr. Doppler did say something about they didn't stay with them."
"Yeah and Matt said something about Weil warning them." Jake pointed
out. "Which means those guys will be back."
"Still they're right, we should rest and get out of here." Zero said.
"Right, let's head back to HQ, with Despair gone Nana got a signal to
us." Duo said, opening the portal gate.
Once they got back to Zone Cop HQ, Despair, Grey & Dr. Doppler were
locked away.
"Well hopefully we won't see anymore of them..." MegaMan groaned.
"We can only hope." MegaGirl sighed.
"We should go to our rooms and rest. We'll need to be at top strength
at the next attack." Kajikami said, then deactivated his armor and
turned back into Brandon. He turned to walk away, but collapsed!
"BRANDON!!!" Morgan cried, rushing to his side.
"Is he ok?" X asked.
"OF COURSE HE'S NOT, THAT'S WHY HE FELL OVER!!!" Morgan hollered.
Mizukami sighed. "He'll be fine. The after effects of activating God
Mode are kicking in. He'll be unconscious for 24 hours, just like I
will be when I deactivate my armor."
"We'll take him to the medical center." Leviathan said, her and Valiya
picked up Brandon and carried him. Mizukami followed them.
"Daniel & Marlene will be in there a while too." Soldierman said.
"They got beaten up a bit."
"Most of the rest of us got healed by that priest guy's magic trick."
Fefnir said. "Before I was betean up pretty bad, but now I'm ready to
rock!"
"About the only thing good that guy did..." Jake grumbled.
"I know he lied to us, but he did save us..." Irasu said.
"You're right sis, but still it's hard to tell for sure if he's on our
side." Mother Elf pointed out.
ZX sighed. "At least it's over, well part of it for now."
Dr. Light nodded, walking in. "Yes I heard everything, though we'll
still have to be on look-out for Dr. Wily."
"And Quint." Data added.
"And Weil." Z added.
"Doc, did your robots repair your lab yet?" MegaMan asked.
"Not quite, it'll still take a while for repairs before we can go
home." Dr. Light said.
"Then you can stay here for now if you wish." Duo said. "There's plenty
of room."
"You guys have living quarters here?" Aquarius asked.
"Yep, many of us live here." Denpa chuckled.
"Well then, I guess you guys can stay here for the wedding." Melody
giggled.
Jake nodded, taking her hand. "Which I want as soon as possible after
all this."
"Well then, let's get started!" MegaGirl cried. "At least we can have
one good thing going on here for a change!"
Episode 78: Wedding Bells End The Day
It was the very next day in the afternoon when Brandon and Anthony
opened their eyes and looked around slowly. They were in the Medical
Center of the Zone Cop Headquarters.
And it only took a second for Morgan to tackle hug Brandon. "YOU'RE
ALIVE!!!!" she held him so tight there was no room to breathe.
He gasped and wheezed for air, turning blue. "... M-Morgan..."
She let him go. "Sorry." she blushed.
"I-it's okay..." He said after a deep breath.
"Are you guys okay?" Sara stepped in and asked.
"We're fine." Brandon said.
"Just tired." Anthony added.
"Good thing you guys are ok." Lizzie said, who was sitting next to
Anthony.
"See? My potion worked." said Marisa, who was holding a few potion
bottles in her hands.
Both Brandon & Anthony's eyes widened. "SHE GAVE US A POTION?!? OH
GOD WE'VE BEEN POISONED!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Marisa growled and tossed a potion bottle between them that exploded
into a puff of smoke. After that she darted out of the room.
Brandon coughed hard. "Knew she was a witch."
Anthony groaned. "Do you want her to throw another potion at us?"
"Hey are you guys getting ready in there?!?" Heather poked her head in.
"Are you cooking in here or something? I smell smoke."
"Marisa..." Lizzie groaned. "And we'll be ready soon, they just woke
up."
"Ready for what?" Anthony asked.
"Jake and Caskett are getting married today." Morgan explained.
"Wow, isn't that kind of fast?" Anthony asked.
"I think it's great!" Sara said. "Now they already have everything we
need, so we better hurry since it's going to be very soon."
"Come on Brandon I picked out an outfit for you!" Morgan pulled her
boyfriend out of the bed and dragged him out.
Anthony sweatdropped. "How did he ever fall for a nutcase like her?"
In the main office of the Zone Cop Conference, which was the largest
room of the base, wedding decorations and flowers were set up.
"So we're performing it here?" asked Xellious Noon as he approached.
"Why is he here?" Blues groaned.
"There is no other priest around here...." Iris sighed.
"We should have found one." Rock pointed out. "If something happens
that makes Jake change into Inutaisho, Xel will be dead in 5 seconds
flat."
"No I won't because I'm a...." Xel suddenly stopped himself "Err....
Nevermind."
"Well, let's go finish getting ready." Vent said.
Kalinka nodded. "Yeah I think Roll & Subaru are getting them ready."
"I'm surprised you allowed Subaru and Roll to be together as best man
and maid of honor." Silve said.
Rock sighed. "I can't stand in their way anymore... That was a big
mistake."
"Sure bet it was." Silve grumbled.
"I still can't believe that Rock and Silve broke up..." Aile whispered
to her brother.
"Well you didn't see them fighting like they were." Vent replied.
"Yeah it got dangerous after a while." Daniel said.
"Come on guys stop yaking and help!" Alex growled.
"Oh calm down Alex, we're almost done." Andrew said calmly.
"Everyone is here, that's a good sign." BassGS said. "And all the
prisoners are in there cells."
"Yeah, too bad about Grey turning on us." Ashe sighed.
"There's nothing you could have done, he choose his path." Duo said.
"Hopefully we can keep Despair from ever getting back out." Nana said.
"We'll have to make sure she can never get out." Harpuia said.
"As it is we still have others that broke out to find." Gourry added.
"We'll find them, just wait." Zero growled.
Inside Jake's dressing room, Subaru was helping him get ready. Jake was
in a normal black tux, and Subaru was in a powder blue one.
"I can't believe it's finally happening..." Jake muttered.
"Want Subaru to hit you to make sure?" War-Rock joked.
Jake grinned. "Subaru, are you sure you still don't want a robotic arm?"
Subaru's eyes widened and he shut the Tranzer's lid. "SHUT UP BEFORE
YOU GET ME KILLED!"
Jake snickered and looked at the clock on the wall. "Almost time..."
Subaru nodded. "Yep, we're just about ready. Are you still sure about
having me and Roll...?"
"Yeah. After all, you and Roll are next in line." Jake winked.
The boy blushed. "Unnn, guess that's true..."
"Well let's go then." Jake said, heading out of the room.
They all gathered together in the main room, Jake standing up by Xel
with Subaru.
"A little longer...." the groom muttered to himself.
"Can't wait? Or are you getting cold feet?" Xel teased.
"If you screw this up I'm gonna tear your lungs out and shove them
where the sun don't shine." Jake growled.
Xel's eyes widened in fear and he shut up right then and there.
"Here we go." Duo said, and Nana pressed a few buttons on the control
board, where the music started playing from.
Jake blushed madly as he watched the doors open, Kalinka came out first
spreading flowers around.
And right then Caskett came out in her long flowing white dress, her
face was covered by the long vail over her face, which she was glad
because it covered her violent blush, her train being carried by Roll
behind her, who was in a stunning red dress that made Subaru blush.
Once Caskett came up next to Jake, he smiled warmly. "You look
amazing..." he whispered while lifting her vail.
"T-thank you..." she said softly.
Roll & Subaru couldn't even say anything, they just kept staring at
each other with huge blushes on their faces.
When they turned to Xel, he began. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered
here and such and such... Oh the hell with it." he tossed the book over
his shoulder. "Okay, Jake, do you want Caskett to be your wife no
matter how much you don't deserve her?"
"I do, and stop messing around or else." Jake warned.
Xel gulped. "Errr, Caskett do you take him to be your husband?"
Caskett smiled widely. "I do of course."
"Then fine, it's done. By the whatever, you're married okay, so kiss
her before she comes to her senses!" Xel cried.
Jake did a spin kick, kicking Xel in the crotch and kissing Caskett at
the same time. Xel snorted and teleported away.
"Well, there goes another two of them. I wonder how long till they come
back from their honeymoon?" Dr. Light asked.
"If they have any sense they'll run away and never come back." Dr.
Cossack remarked.
Dr. Cain shook his head. "Come on everyone, we have everything together
for the dance."
Jake leanned over to Caskett's ear to whisper. "A Dimensional Hole will
be appearing in an hour to get us out of here so we can have an
uninterrupted honeymoon."
"Good." she whispered and kissed him.
The newly weds headed with the rest to the dance room, then began their
dance.
Jake leaned over and whispered to his new wife. "I've already got our
stuff packed."
"That's great, so how long?" Caskett asked.
He checked his watch. "We've got an hour till the hole arrives."
Subaru took Roll's hand and blushed. ".... Um, it's tradition for the
best man to dance with the maid of honor...."
Jake saw them and chuckled. "They're almost like we were when we first
started dating."
Caskett nodded, and threw her flowers into the air, which landed right
into Roll's arms.
Jake chuckled softly. "Well looks like I was right."
Subaru blushed and looked at Rock in the corner of his eye... Who was
smiling! And right then he walked over to the couple. "Hey..."
"W-what is it bro?" Roll asked.
"He's gonna kill you kid." War-Rock mumbled.
"I see you caught the bouquet." Rock said.
His sister blushed. "Yeah.."
".... Well I guess we better start planning your wedding then, huh?" he
asked.
Roll's eyes widened. ".... You mean.... You're not mad or against it
anymore?"
Rock shook his head. "Nope."
"What changed your mind? Got a brain transplant?" War-Rock joked.
Subaru punched the Tranzer, which made him groan in pain.
Rock ignored the annoying program. "I guess Silve dumping me changed my
mind..."
War-Rock popped the Tranzer's lid open. "Your girlfriend leaving you
finally got the stick out of your....?" Subaru slammed the lid shut
before he could finish.
"Yes..." Rock sighed, then headed over by Aile who was sitting by
herself.
"Wow, I missed a LOT, didn't I?" she asked, rubbing her head.
Rock sweatdropped. "Unn, yeah. Want to dance?"
Aile blushed. "S-sure..."
After the dance had ended, the dementionsal hole appeared.
"Well we're off!" Jake cried, lifting Caskett into his arms.
"Bye!" cried everyone who waved as the couple left.
"Well there they go..." Heather whimpered. "Now I have no one left to
annoy!"
Marisa sweatdropped. "Maybe I can introduce you to Alice..."
"Oh boy, they're not going to miss much while away." Blaze joked.
"Just another day at work here..." Duo slapped his forehead.
"Hey Subaru let's go on a date!" Roll cried, grabbing her boyfriend's
arm and darting out the door.
Rock looked around, and turned to Aile. "Want to go get something?"
"This wouldn't have anything to do with following them would it?" she
asked, arching her eyebrow.
Rock sweatdropped. "Errr, don't say anything about it and I'll take you
on a real date whenever you want."
"Done!" Aile cried, grabbing his arm and darting off.
"I think we started something." Blues chuckled, pointing to the several
couples in the room.
Iris kissed his cheek. "That means there might be a few more to follow
us and Jake & Caskett."
"Well they deserve some time to rest for now." Dr. Light chuckled.
"Though with our luck you know it won't last for long...."
