Big brother trouble by Herofox This fic takes place a couple of weeks after the events in Megaman Zero. It explains how I think the Zero timeline connects to the original series. Zero gazed at the afternoon sunset. He remembered one time during Sigma's attempt to resurrect him as a maverick. (In Megaman X2) "But trust X to save the day" Zero spoke in his deep, soft voice. When Sigma had been defeated that time, he and X watched the sunset together. "Somehow we always pulled through." He said to no one in particular. But just then, his comm system picked up a call from HQ. "Zero here. Go ahead." "Zero, we need your help!" spoke Ceil. "A Black maverick has attacked the unit at the old Reploid destruction plant!" "I'm on my way!" Zero replied, as he dashed towards the plant witch had once been the base of the Aztec Falcon. As he raced to the factory he started to think. "How can the Mavericks be back without the Sigma virus?" He pondered. When he arrived he stood behind two reploids who where with the resistance "Zero!" one of them exclaimed. "Thank goodness!" spoke the other. Zero felt a little flattered by the two's remarks but kept a straight face. "Where's that black Maverick who attacked us?" he demanded. "Inside! He's inside that door!" obaied one of the reploids "Thanks guys." Zero said in his cool tone. "I'll handle it from here." as he walked through the door of the plant. Then he saw the robot from behind. His armour was black, with two large orange fins on the back of his helmet. (Any guesses who it is yet? ^_~) As he held the throte of one of the resistance reploids, Zero pulled out his Z-buster And fired a light-charged shot at the black reploids sholder. The resistance fighter landed with a thump. "Get out of here while you can!" Yelled Zero. "I'll take care of HIM!" The resistance reploid thanked Zero and ran out of the factory. At this point, the black reploid got up and turned to face Zero. This new reploid wad purple streaks under his eyes, like those of a tribal warrior. "So it IS you." He said in a deep, cold voice. Then he held out his arm connon to one side and produced a blade. "DIE ZERO!" he roared as he dashed for the crimson reploid. Zero barly managed to pull out his famous Z-sabre to block the black villans attack. The two cyborg-like figures continued to parry and block eachothers attacks when Zero jumped up on top of a beam near the ceiling. "This reploid is so familier" Zero thought. "But where have I met him before?" As the Black reploid jumped up at Zero, the crimson reploid activated his lightning chip. "Why are you attacking us?!" Zero demanded as he jumped off the beam while charging his buster. The black robot narrowed his eyes in anger "I've seem the gates of HELL because of you!" he yelled Zero was sure that he had met this challenger somewhere before. A few memories came back to him as he fired the large bolt of lightning at his opponant. The black android hit the ground hard. The thunder bolt had caused a temporairy system-shutdown. Zero then picked up the so-called maverik in his arms, and remembered fighting him... Over one hundred and thirty years ago. Once the robot was buried, maverik Zero looked up and saw the blueprints for his long time friend- Megaman X When zero awoke from this flashback, he remembered everything about the robot he held in his arms. His weapons, his powers, and finally, his name... "Bass..." Zero whispered To be continued
