"Let's get to it then.", Zero said with a smirk.
The Mavericks circled him for a few paces. The alley was narrow, and the only way out was either through the Mavericks, or straight up. Zero knew he was out numbered, but that was the way he liked it. He smirked, and bared his Z-Saber. The brilliant green flash illuminated the dim walls of the cramped alley. The first one came from behind. He attacked with a mid-level thrust lunge. Too easy! Zero jumped, backflipped, and brought the saber down to bi-sect the Mav from head to toe while in mid-air. As he landed, the Maverick fell to pieces. Zero spun one hundred and eighty degrees to face the next attacker. He had a dense length of pipe in his hand, which he had just removed from a wall nearby. The 2nd Mav swung for Zero's head, but he made quick work of his foe. Zero swung the saber left, then spun the blade around again. This reslulted in first, cutting the length of pipe in half, then lopping off the Mav's hand through the fore-arm. Zero dropped low and hit him with a double swoop kick. As the Maverick trippped, Zero regained his balance, and with his back facing his falling foe, thrust his saber through the Maverick's body. 2 down, eight to go!!!!
Making his way through a web of contacts, Zero was able to discern the whereabouts of Mega Man X. He was hot on the trail of the Missing Reploid parts, but learned of X's mysterious break out from Hunter H.Q. His searching had led him to believe that the 2 occurences were linked. He now found himself in a ship yard on the coast of California. Maverick Hunter Headquarters was close to his loaction. This was the last place X was seen at. The only thing was that it happened to be a Maverick controlled port. No matter though, he would find Mega Man X, what ever it took! As he crept silently through the ship yard, he tried to remain inconspicuous. Unfortunately, he neglected to watch where he was going, and tripped an alarm. That was how he found himself surrounded by a commando team of Mavericks.
The third Attacker stepped in. He was using a smaller version of Zero's Z-Saber for each hand. Plasma daggers as it were. He and Zero traded slash for block, and counter for counter. A fourth and fifth joined in, and Zero now had to dodge 3 attacks simultaneously. He thrust backwards again, leaving a smoking hole in the Mav behind him, then brought his blade around to clash against the twin daggers of the assasin in front of him. The blades swung off of eachother, and the Mav gained the upper hand in the tussle. He pushed Zero's blade away from a defensive position with his left, then pivoted off of his heel, and tried to stab backwards into Zero's abdomen with his right. Zero was too clever for this move, and instead side stepped, so that the Mav hit only air. Zero brought his knee to meet the Mav's backside, then finished him off quickly. Five other Mavericks had formed a circle around Zero, as a last line of defense. They all had pulse rifels trained on him, and open fired. Zero swung his blade around to deflect a volly of incoming shots. The first ricochetted off his saber, and struck down the last of the hand-to-hand combatants. Some shots hit the walls, and bounced off of metal pipes. One fell, then a second. The ones in behind him though were more fortunate. Zero shoulder rolled to the left, then ran up a wall, and back flipped over the three in back of him. As he landed, he swept downward. A quick thrust forward, then a spin strike, and that was that. Not bad! Not bad at all!! Zero: 10, Mavericks: Nothing. This battle was over. These guys were push overs anyway. Zero smiled. "Not even warmed up yet!", he quipped. He stowed his saber, and ran off toward the water. All he had to do now was follow X's homing signal. Then, maybe he could find where X had gone off to. Zero found a Decel Titan: Model XVII Speeder Bike. This one was equipped with hover thrust, and multiple vectoring jets."Nice Bike!", He muttered to himself. He hopped on, and revved it up. The engine whined, and roared to life. Zero took off, then fish-tailed the bike, and screamed out over the water with the throttle on full burn. "Hang on X! I'm on my way...." (to be continued.)
