Standing Orders Wed Mar 07 Zero

*Zero appears on the screen, arms folded*
"In relation to the situation with Protoman. I shall handle it personally. Frankly, I'm quite aware that Protoman is more likely than not capable of seeing this reports whether he has access to the computers or not, and I'm quite aware that he can find me easier than most people can. In other words. I expect to see you soon, Protoman, in front of me. I'll expect a full explaination for your actions, otherwise, you'll be giving me the excuse I've been waiting for, and frankly, I could care less which way you want to take it. I'll be waiting. Maverick Hunter Commander Zero out.

(Ch. D [Aerial]) Colonel transmits: 'Zero, Protoman, go to the countryside for your damnable duel. I will order you stopped if you continue -within- a major metorpolitan area.'.
Protoman stands atop the building across from the Ruby Diner, arms crossed, face set into a grim frown. As always, the scarf blows idly in the wind.
Zero transforms into Black Armor.
Blues transforms into Break Man.
Zero steps out of the diner, phasing into his obsidian armor... Zero's had enough, and he's going to bury this hatchet tonight, preferably in Protoman's back.
He walks a few paces out from the diner and folds his arms, a confident smirk on his face, "Alright, scarfboy, let's get this over with. I've got a fresh cup of coffee waiting to be drank, and that's a lot more important than kicking your little aft all over New York City."
(Ch. B [RF-MH]) Colonel transmits: 'Anthem, if they do not leave me, contact me. I will bring Signas, and break up the fight ourselves.'.
(Ch. B [SecDef]) Anthem transmits: 'Sir, with all due respect, they're not gonna leave, and trying to make them leave will probably cause more damage to the city than them fighting each other will.'.
(Ch. B [RF-MH]) Colonel transmits: 'I will NOT allow my troops to stand idly by while those two destroy a city block. Engage crowd control protocols. Dangit, Command Major, try to keep the damage under control, and arrest both of their aftes when this is done.'.
(Ch. C []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'It you *must* fight...can you at least do it where other people won't get hurt?!'.
(Ch. C [Hunter-CoC]) Zero transmits: 'I don't want any of you interfering in this.'.
Zero snorts and adds a bit later, "Although, I'd be a little more logical for us to do this outside of the city. I've already burned down one town, I don't want to put another notch on my bedpost tonight. Because I'm not gonna pull any punches tonight, Protoman. Not for Rock, not for Roll, not for anyone. Tonight, it's you and me, and when it's all said and done, it's just going to be me."
Protoman ports from off the top of the building to right in front of Zero. His shield in place and his Buster ready and charging. Immediately, any of the near by civilians take off for the hills. Blues stares down the Beserker from behind his opaque visor.
"Fine. Somewhere else then."
Protoman grabs Zero, and immediately they disappear to... well, somewhere else.
That somewhere else is 50 miles outside NYC, somewhre nice and rural.
(Ch. B [SecDef]) Anthem transmits: '...Hold up, they're actually being sensible.'.
(Ch. B [SecDef]) Anthem transmits: 'And that freakin' teleporter really bugs me.'.
(Ch. B [Aerial]) Skyblade Eagle transmits: 'They're leaving...Thank god..'.
(Ch. B [RF-MH]) Colonel transmits: 'Good.'.
(Ch. B [Secure]) Hurricane Hawk transmits: 'Standing orders?'.
(Ch. B [RF-MH]) Colonel transmits: 'Crowd control. Command Major, you have the command.'.
Zero leaps back out of Protoman's grip and lands a few yards away, his hair billowing in the wind that gusts through the nearly empty field, "I knew you would just have to do this the hard way, Protoman. Just like you always have to. I'm not even going to bother asking why you did what you did, or for what purpose, because all I'll get is lies in response, like we all always get. When's the last time you even told anyone the truth about anything? You can't even tell your own damn brother the truth, let alone even talk to him when he needs you. Yer just a coward, a spineless little coward who can't even come to grips with his own self, and his own shortcomings, to be able to suck it up and admit anything to anyone else, rather you just sit and brood and act all high and mighty around everyone else. It makes me sick, YOU make me sick, and tonight, Protoman. I'm going to be the cure to the insipid little disease that you are to the Maverick Hunters."
Protoman smirks as the barrage of insults come out of Zero's mouth. The scarf mimics the action of Zero's hair, flowing in the wind in exact time. "You have a problem with me, Zero? You are a more incompetent XO then Rock is a Commander. Your emotions rage unchecked... your actions are that of a fool who has no control whatsoever. It was a mistake to ever put you as second in command, a mistake that I will now erase."
Shoving his Buster forward, Protoman lets off a medium charged blast of energy.
Zero smirks as the blast streaks towards him like a bolt a lighting cutting through the crisp night air. He narrows his eyes as the blast nears him and just as it would impact, the sound if his sabre igniting, and then the loud noise of electric feedback and sparks can be heard. As the proverbial dust clears, Zero stands there, defiant and proud, the area around him scorched to a crisp, his sabre held down at his side, and his armor unscathed, "There's no games tonight, Protoman. I hope yer ready to stand your ground, because I'm not about to let up one bit..." A slight smile creeps across his features before his dash jets kick in and he starts streaking towards the scarfed wonder, the distance between the two being cut rapidly, as he nears Protoman, he suddenly leaps into the air, spinning madly as he leaps becoming a whirling dervish of pure energy and blond hair.
(Ch. C []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'I take it a 'Please don't fight' wouldn't cut it.'.
(Ch. C [Hunter-CoC]) Zero transmits: '... not a chance.'.
(Ch. C []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'Doh...can't blame me for not trying.'.
(Ch. C [None]) Shield transmits: 'How about "When you two are finished fighting, one is defeated, and the other is weakened, the Mavericks will most likely take the opportunity to finish you off?"'.
(Ch. C [Hunter-CoC]) Zero transmits: 'It'd be one stupid Maverick to show up here at any point, Shield.'.
(Ch. C [None]) Shield transmits: 'Not once both of you are exhausted.'.
(Ch. C [Hunter-CoC]) Zero transmits: 'Not like they or you know where we are. Now if you excuse me, I need to concentrate.'.
(Ch. C [Hunter]) Fugue transmits: 'That's at least ten percent of their ranks. Being conservative.'
You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Shield: "Just commenting that being reasonable would be way to easy for them to do about now. *sigh* I've been so enjoying the quiet over here."
You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Shield: "Half tempted to ask for a
transfer."
Shield sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "You are one of the few voices of reason listened to. Please do not."
You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Shield: "Tempted...but I wouldn't. Can assure you of that."
You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Shield: "*sigh* How are things holding up over there otherwise?"
Shield sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "This isn't going to help moral, or exactly inspire confidence in the Repliforce transfers...Gear Otter seems to be the only one not responding positively though."
You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Shield: "No...it's not. Not gonna help with the Hunter reputation either really. And...I knew that Gear might have a problem adjusting."
Protoman doesn't move from his spot, oddly enough, letting Zero plow into his torso. The loners armor rips apart, metal shredding as mechfluid goes spraying everywhere. When the sparks fade, Protoman is now laying on the ground, looking up at Zero, the ever present smirk of contempt on his face. There's a shimmering of light as the scarlet armor of the orginal robot shifts into a more lustrous gold. Flames begin kicking up around Blues' form, and the grass around him begins to burn as well. No words are said now as a literal tornado of fire and wind engulfs both Break Man and Zero.
Zero looks down at Blues as he shifts colors and kneels down a bit over top of him. "That's the bad thing about buster's Protoman." He then -launches- himself into the air, clearing the attack barely and smiling as he exclaims from the peak of his jump, "It makes you all that more predictable!" He then aims his sabre down as he begins to fall from the sky, as slowly, begining at the tip of his sabre ice begins to form, as he falls it starts to grow and encase more and more of his sabre. Finally, moments before impact, it envelops his entire sabre and his forearms forming a giant spearhead of ice, heading straight for the scarlet enigma.
More of the area begins to burn now, the gusting winds that were blowing both hair and scarf before now aiding to spread the fire. As Zero descends with the ice sword, Protoman merely disappears in a flash of light. Milliseconds later, he appears behind the Maverick Hunter XO, Buster held outstreched.
"Predict this."
The blast is larger than before, the free-floating electrons and protons of the plasma shot screeching the short distance to their target.
Shield sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "Actually, I'm tempted to tell the Robot Masters where they are in hopes the common foe might unite them, at least for now."
You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Shield: "Somehow...I doubt that would be a good idea...Be thankful for small favors that they moved their spat to somewhere not populated."
Zero lands on the ground, the ice spear digging into the cold hard ground and shattering moments after impact. As the crimson Berserker straightens up, he hears Blues speaking behind him as his eyes go wide, in that "Oh ****" sort of way moments before he gets blasted in the back, sending him tumbling forward and finally falling over and having an intimate moment with the ground. He picks himself up and spits out a mouth full of dirt and snarls, "Funny... I thought Bass was the only person cowardly enough to shoot someone in the back... guess I was wrong." He grits his teeth as he feels his temper starting to rise, but he pushes it back, trying to keep his composure. He rolls over onto his back and kippups quickly as his body begins glowing a bright red casting an eerie effect against his obsidian armor. However, as he's getting up, his arm shifts into his own watered down no frills variety of buster and starts firing off a few volleys of medium power plasma bursts at his fellow prodigal son.
Protoman ducks behind his shield, the low grade blasts splashing harmlessly off of the near indestructible metal. Blues uses the time gained by the deflection to shift his armor into a pure black color, even the gray areas darkening from the weapon that he plans to use. By now, the fire as picked up immensely, the flames burning brightly as they cast a yellow-orange glow over the two combatants. The mirror like visor that Break Man wears to cover his eyes reflects the fiery pasture even as it seeks to lock in on Zero's form. That's when it happens, 5 separate tendrils streak out from the barrel of the android's weapon. They don't appears to be solid, but more ghastly, and as pure black as either warriors armor. The air around the tentacles chills and becomes ice-like. If the attack is to strike, the curious observer might not that Blues wounds heal at the same time.
Zero cackles as he shifts his arm out of his buster, his hand reaching for the sabre secured magnetically on his back. He charges straight at the tendrils, the sabre igniting and slicing through them to disrupt the attack as he dashes towards Break Man. He then suddenly slams his foot down in front of him causing him to slide a bit into the ground, before picking up his other foot and spinning around as he ends up right in front of his adversary. A brief smile can be seen on Zero's face by Blues, before the blinding light of his sabre coming down in an arc towards his body overtakes the vision of the bishounen's oh so pretty face.
Protoman is left frozen by use of Wraith's weapon, which leaves him in turn open for the attack that comes from Zero. Once again, Metal rends, and fluids leak as the contained plasma of the Beserker's weapon rips into Blues' mid-section. Staggering back, the Hunter clutches his Mega-Buster to his chest, grasping tightly onto the weapon as he falls to one knee. He stays there for a few moments, though for what purpose is hard to discern. A glow begins emanating from the concealed buster, a pale green light that slowly over takes most of Protoman's front side. Forcing himself to stand, the prodigal child slams his Buster forward and screams out.
"BIG BANG STRIKE!"
If it were all possible, the blast seems pissed off. It's larger than Blues' entire form, and yet, it still originates from within his Buster. The yellowish shot is surrounded by a green circle, and wherever it impacts... be it Zero or the landscape... isn't going to be happy.
Zero keeps calm as Blues moves to attack, and closes his eyes moments before it's unleashed before splitting into two Zero's. Both dash outwards to avoid the blast, and at the same time causing it to lose it's target, setting the already war torn battlefield into more and more tribulation. Moments later the two beserker's start to converge on the scarfed one, both wearing confident smiles as they leap at Blues in unison, both lashing out with their sabres.
Zero blinks as Blues disappears and casts a wary glance around the area as he searches for his opponents location, "Dangit Protoman, stop playing games and stand and fight like a man!" he screams out before the sounds of the whistle can be heard from behind him. He quickly shuts off his audio receptors as the first note hits his ears and spins around, leaving them off for a few moments before switching them back on, "Time to end this game, Protoman. I've given you too many chances in the past, and your all out of get out of jail free cards." He re-ignites his sabre and settles into an offensive pose and stares at Protoman for a bit, digging his feet into the scorched earth beneath him, "Get ready!" The Hunter Commander pro tempore then streaks towards Blues, his sabre trailing behind him held in one hand, a lazy blanket of energy trailing behind it as he dashes. As he nears the first child he suddenly skids to a stop, lashing out with his sabre high across his chest. As the slash passes he reaches up with his free hand and spins around, slashing hard diagonally across Blues midsection. Finally he releases his grip with his second hand and lashes out viciously with his sabre low across Blues' abdomen, completing Zero's ultimate attack... the Z-Slash technique.
Protoman ducks out of the way of the first two strikes, but the third hits home, amputating his shield arm. Mechaflud pours out of the wound, drenching the ground and exciting the blaze even more. Protoman staggers back, disengaging his Buster to grasp at the wound. That's when something comes bouncing from the distances. *Poing!* *Poing!* It's Sakugarne! Save me Sakugarne!
Zero just watches Sakugarne poing at him, and then watches Sakugarne poing right by him. A look of confusion on his face as the mighty Pogo stick poings it's way into the horizon. "Uhm... yeah." he shakes his head and turns to stare at Blues and just gives him a look of disgust, he places his sabre on his back and walks up to the shaded wonder and says, "Say goodnight, Protoman." Before pulling a clenched fist back and thrusting it with all his might right at the scarfed wonder's visor.
As the punch descends, Protoman holds his one good arm out, and a shimmering gold spears appears in it.
"Not yet..."
The punch slams into the spear, causing it to reverberate and refocus the energy a thousand times before sending it back in a V-shaped blast of energy the blows Blues back.
Zero blinks at the reverberation and steadies himself into the ground, focusing himself as he hops backwards right as the blast comes at him and projects a dashing silhouette of himself at the blast as he gets near him, causing both bundles of energy to dissipate. He takes a deep breath and looks down at the fallen Blues and walks towards him again. As he stands over his fellow ex-Robot Master he shakes his head, "Your luck is going to run out sooner or later, Protoman. Why don't you just give it up." He reaches down and grabs Blues by the collar and hefts him up, his face contorting into a wild sneer, "You could've just given me the answers I wanted. You could have just told us the truth. But no, you just had to go and keep up your stupid little childish reputation." he snorts and tosses Blues back to the ground and takes a few steps back, his body glowing a red almost as bright as the raging inferno that surrounds the two combatants, "GET UP!" he commands staring down at his best friend's estranged brother, "Die like a real warrior, even if you bring nothing but disgrace upon yourself."
Zero waits for a few moments before the glowing red aura around his body glows such an intense red that it seems like he himself is on fire. "This ends now, Protoman. I pray that whenever you wake up, you'll have learned an important lesson." He stares daggers at Blues for a moment more before a pair of bright red energy wings suddenly burst out of his back...
"Fallen..."
The wings beat once, causing the beserker to rise into the air, his fist now raised high above his head, the intense red glow still enveloping him.
"Phoenix..."
As he reaches the apex of his ascension he stares down at his half-brother a look of almost pity and sympathy in his eyes for what he's about to do to him.
"WING!"
As the final word is spoken, Zero suddenly decends rapidly to the ground, his fist still held high above his head. As he lands on the ground, he SLAMS his fist into the earth before him, causing an -enourmous- wave of fire to burst out in front of him as if the Earth itself had cracked open, allowing the fires of Hell to charge forth onto the unsuspecting Earth. The wave grows as it continues to streak towards Blues, gaining only more and more velocity and intensity, becoming almost as large as the waves of the Atlantic during a hurricane.
Protoman ports out of the way... reappearing behind Zero... again.
"Come on, Zero... kill me. Kill your own. That's what you do, isn't it? Rage. Uncontrollable rage that dwells inside of you. Let it lash out at me. Now. Prove how much of a 'man' you are... prove how good of a leader you can be by simply going into a rage over what I have done. Do you know the circumstances? No. You're always at that damn coffee shop instead of actually leading the Hunters when they need you. Even Seminole had the piece of mnd to find out what I did... and he understands... because he isn't some insane -freak- who isn't so hopped up on himself like you. You aren't even worthy to command a fucking boy scount troop. Everything that you are is a failure. See that now... show me. Strike me down."
Zero stands up from his kneeling position, back turned to Blues as he falls silent for a moment, "Now you're starting to sound like Sigma." The bersker states rather flatly as he continues to stand there, his hair getting caught by the convenient dramatic wind that always seems to be at his beck and call, much like Blues own version for his scarf. "My entire life, Blues," note he said Blues, "I've been told what kind of monster I am... what kind of bloodthirsty killer I am... how I'm going to bring the fall of mankind..." he shakes his head. "Not you, not Sigma, not any freak from the future or the stars is ever going to convince me of that being my true purpose." He looks down at his hands, and falls silent again for a moment. "It's true that I've killed many people... even some of those who I never meant to... friends, loved ones, innocent people..." he clenches one hand into a fist and casts his glance to the sky, "But that doesn't mean that I don't carry the weight of those deaths on my conscience every waking moment. It doesn't mean that I don't understand the wrongs of my past, my present, and quite possibly my future."
Zero turns halfway to cast his glance at Blues through his crimson eyes, "There may never be redemption for me, but that doesn't mean I won't continue to try and gain it. An no words you will ever say will ever stop me from believing that what I do, I do to try and come to grips with I've done, and what I might do. I will conquer the rage within me, and I -will- right all the wrongs I possibly can. But you... questioning my intentions? Questioning my leadership ability?" He shakes his head, closing his eyes. "No, Blues, you have no place to question anything I've done, because you've done it all yourself, the only difference is that you don't care... there's no heart within that robotic husk of a body of yours... there's no feeling... it's all numb. You've shunned everyone out of your life for so long, I'd doubt you even know what emotions are anymore." He turns fully around now, and stares at Blues, "Do you think my intention was to kill you tonight? It wasn't. My intention was to teach you a lesson. A lesson in humility. Maybe then you might care to talk to your brother when he needs you, like he needs you now. Or maybe then you'd appreciate the life that your father... OUR father gave to all of us." He stares at Blues for a long hard moment and says, "Mercy is something I've tried to learn for a long time, something I've fought hard with myself to gain. But tonight, Blues... it is something you do not deserve." He pulls out his sabre and ignites it, holding it in his hands for a moment, before spinning it around in his hand and then throwing it right at Blues chest, "I hope, for your sake, that what I've done is the first step towards you finally waking up to the world around you, instead of pretending it doesn't exist while you hide yourself away in your dreamworld."
And so it goes...
Protoman is cut in half, right through the waist. both parts of his body fall lifelessly to the ground. As he makes impact, Break Man's helmet pops off bouncing away to reveal the true face of Blues. Yes, in fact it is the same face as Rock... the mess of brown hair, the big sapphire eyes... and now, the smile upon his face. It's like this, limp, that the scarved wonder lays for a few moments before crimson energy begins jumping across his form. Slowly, oh so slowly, his armor begins to fade away, leaving nothing but the body of a misunderstood boy. Even that does not last long, as the skin is taken away next, the infrastructure of the first child of the robot revolution laid out for all to see. Then serveros begins disappearing, wires beging fading from existance. Finally, all that once was Blues... is gone... only the helmet remains.
Zero looks down at Blues as he starts to disappear and walks over towards him, and kneels down next to the fallen helmet and sighs, "Maybe when you come back, like I know you will... we can move past this stupid fued of ours, and start working towards something better." He reaches out for the helmet and picks it up, tucking it under his arm as he stands up, "Until then, I'll hold onto this for you, Protoman. I expect you to come pick it up soon." He turns away from where Blues body once laid and starts to walk off, the fires have since burned themselves out, the sounds of battle have since silenced. And the crimson bersker once again is left in the middle of the remains of destruction. He reaches out with a hand towards the sabre the lies on the ground and activates the special magnetic recall in both the sabre and his hand and draws the sabre back into his hands. He places it on his back and continues to walk off, phasing out of his armor and into his casual clothes. The helmet still tucked under his arm.

Zero and Blues have apparently temporarily left the MHHQ to settle their differences...Apparently its over the Mole last seen in MHHQ...Of course, that is only rumor. More likely is that they want their egos stroked and never really liked each other anyway. Of course, both RFHQ and MHHQ are combining their voting groups and might very well kick -both- Zero -and- Blues off the island!
