First off, great chapter Grahf. The Strider/cheeseburger thing made me spit my drink all over my monitor.
This chapter will feature the awaited Jae vs Rock battle. So stay tuned!
"Goodbye, Dr. Doppler. Rest in peace." With those words, a piece of the ceiling fell from above.
Before being crushed to death, Doppler died screaming, "You sick psychopath!"
Megaman X led his team out of the exploding fortress. Meanwhile, the voice of Sigma boomed over the speakers.
"I AM SIGMA! THE NEW WORLD ORDER! MY FUTURE IS NOW!"
But luckily the four robots escaped the lair and found safety in a neighboring desert. While the two lesser robots relaxed in the sand, X and Zero argued about whose weapon was superior. It was probably the eighth time that day they had said argument.
"So now you know, your way is antique, X."
"No, you don't understand. You lack robot understanding."
Meanwhile, Gutsman scoffed in the background. "Lack robot understanding? Hmph. All they do is blow things up into circles!"
Iceman groaned. "Boy, you said it, Guts. I wish we could lose those two."
"Impossible. They'll stick to us like Crash Bombs."
"I guess you're right."
After a moment of silence, an idea arose in their metal heads. The two scooted over and conspired.
"Hey, Ice. There's only one thing left to do."
"You mean...?"
Zero and X continued to argue. Unbeknownst to them, Gutsman was looming behind them, carrying a giant boulder he found. High above, Iceman soared like a falcon, preparing his lungs for some ice spitting.
The Maverick Hunters never knew what hit them. Well, they probably did figure it out, but at the time they were busy getting turned into scrap via being frozen and/or crushed. The fatal beatdown went on for quite a while, but soon Gutsman and Iceman were certain they had won.
Covered in black oil that once belonged to X, Gutsman looked up into the sky and smiled.
"We do that and we're free!" Gutsman said, waking up from a daydream.
The two said together, "We can't do it, can we?!"
Gutsman sighed. "Nope! We've gone soft. A century ago, we could've."
"Yeah. We're actually becoming... nice!"
"And X knows it, too! We've gone legitimate!"
Iceman grinned. "This year, I haven't felt guilty about any--"
*BOOM!*
"Huh!?"
*BOOM!*
"X, what the hell?"
"I need some powers. Don't look at me like that. You're just mad I thought of it first."

Megaman woke up with a loud gasp. "I had that dream again!"
"Shh..." his sister said in his arms. "I can make it better."
Megaman smiled. "With or without the helmet?"

"Hey, honey, my stock went up," J. Carn said while reading the paper.
In the kitchen, Rose commented, "That's nice... dear."
Truth be told, Rose was finally getting used to the weirdness that was being forcefully married to J. Carn. Maybe it had to do with his stooge quitting to join some commando group where he was quickly killed.
But she was finally getting used to this odd lifestyle.
"Honey, do you hear someone knocking at the door?"
"Sounds more like scratching. Let me get it."
J. Carn went back to his newspaper. "I don't care what people say. I like Hillary Clinton."
"EEEEEEEEEEEK!" Rose screamed as she ran past her husband and went up stairs.
"Is the roast burning?" Carn looked to his side, then looked up a little to see Brad Vickers and quite a few zombies staring him down with their hands out. "Oh my God."
Rose ran into her room and locked the door. Besides the many utterings of "Brains," she heard the screams of J. Carn, followed by his hungry moan.
Time was running out. Rose wanted to kick herself for going into a room with nothing more than a couple small windows. She wouldn't fit in them. She knew that from experience.
An undead hand broke through the wooden door. The rest of the zombie, along with his peers, followed. Rose backed into a corner, seeing Brad Vickers, J. Carn and a host of others coming for her brains. Her Soul Power would only be able to fend off a couple. She knew she was done for.
But then she heard the sound of chopping. From the far corner of the room, she saw a man charge through the doorway and decapitate as many zombies as possible. This man, dressed in beads and an odd red and yellow outfit, which included a skirt, hopped in front of Rose and stood before the zombie horde. His giant sword floated behind his back.
Donovan Baine looked around at the undead monsters through his black sunglasses.
"You..."
More zombies broke through the wall.
"...obviously..."
Even more climbed through the window, succeeding where Rose had failed.
"...do not know..."
The dozens of brain-hungry creatures advanced.
"...WHO YOU ARE FUCKING WITH!"
Donovan grabbed his sword by the handle. Insert techno music here.

Kyo was surrounded by his bodyguards. With Shang Tsung, Goro, Scorpion and Armor King looking on, Kyo pulled out a large sack from under his desk. On it was the cliché dollar sign.
"It's that time again," he spat.
"All right!" Scorpion said out loud. "Pay day!"
Kyo pulled out a pile of bankrolls, each worth two thousand dollars. "Okay, one for each of you."
He handed one to Shang Tsung. "One for you."
He handed one to Goro. "One for you."
He handed one to Scorpion. "One for you."
He handed one to Armor King. "One for you."
As he went to put the sack of cash away, he saw Alucard standing in front of him. "What about me, boss?"
"One for you."
Standing in Alucard's spot was now Q*Bert. "What about me, boss?"
"Oh, right. One for you."
Zack then asked, "What about me, boss?"
"And one for you."
Maximo cleared his throat. "And me, boss?"
"One for you."
Shang Tsung, with lots and lots of cash in his hands, walked out the door. "I'll see you later, Kusanagi. I have to meet my old partner for lunch."
"Yeah, sure. Go to town." Kyo watched Shang leave. He put his hands behind his head and relaxed.
About a minute later...
"Hey, wait a minute!"
