CHAPTER 4: flame mammoth's fire

Zero was on his way to Death Island to save his girlfriend Sonia. He was thinking about the message he found. Zero was scared of losing Sonia for good.

(With torch)

"Soon zero will come and he will fall." Said torch.

Sonia was passed out and chained to the side of the mountain. Torch knew zero would come if he cared about the girl Sonia.

Zero had told geo and hope what happened right before he left. Zero gave geo and hope a com unit to stay in contact thanks to his upgrade in his transer.

"Zero come in. what's you location." Said geo from zeros helm.

"3 miles to Death Island and closing in." zero said.

"I have to go now. The welcoming party had just arrived." Zero said as 1,000,000 viruses were approaching zero.

Zero got his z-buster out. "Rapid buster!" zero yelled.

15 viruses were deleted on contact. Zero continued to fire his buster. After awhile zero got tired of using his buster.

"Sword! Wide sword! Long sword! Starforce advance: dream sword." Zero said as his saber became a dream sword. Zero slashed at the viruses a whole mess of them were deleted only 500,000 remained. Zero was now using his z-saber.

*huff* *puff* "how many of these viruses are there" zero said as he was losing strength.

"X BUSTER!" said someone from behind. Zero turned to see someone that looks like MegaMan but only with a X on his chest.

"Who *huff* are you?" Zero asked as he tried to move.

"Call me X, you look like you could use some help." Said X as he used a sub tank on zero.

"Thanks, but I have to do this alone." Zero said as he used a firering 3.

"Why? There has to be some reason for you to do this alone." X said.

"Flame mammoth has my girlfriend!" zero said as he deleted another group of viruses.

"I see. I got a plan. I'll take care of this you go save your girl. Charge shot!" X said as a path was cleared.

"Thanks." Zero said as he dashed pass the viruses.

LATER…

"FLAME MAMMOTH! LET Sonia GO!" zero yelled

"Zero I've been waiting for you." Said flame mammoth.

"Where's Sonia!" zero demanded

"Right there." FM (flame mammoth) said pointing to Sonia hanging from a cliff chained up.

"SONIA!" zero called out to her.

"You-you monster!" zero yelled.

"Wave battle! Ride on!" zero said as the battle program activated.

WAVE BATTLE: FLAME MAMMOTH (MegaMan X)

FM tried to grab zero with his trunk. Zero kept moving out of the way and hitting him with his buster.

"Inferno blaze" said FM as the whole battle field became a fire stage.

"Ice meteor1" zero yelled as 3 huge ice balls came flying towards FM. They him with devastating force.

"Fire cannon." Said FM

"z-slash combo" Zero said as he attacked with his z-saber several times.

After hours of fighting zero was draining his strength rather quickly.

"*huff* *puff* I won't give up!" zero said as he took out a full energy sub card.

Zero stood up from where he laid when he was slammed in to the ground from being hit by FM's trunk.

"Tidal Edge!" zero said as his saber became a water element. He slashed at FM causing him to have a cut across his chest with data leaking out.

"Ahhhh!" FM screamed in pain.

"Zero this is not over yet I'll return! You can count on it." FM said as he warped away.

Zero went to where Sonia was and freed her. He took her home for she was red in the face and zero was weak from the fight.

(Later at the house...)

Zero was lying in bed with bandages covering his body. For several days zero was in bed with Sonia watching over him.

"Zero, thank you for saving me." Sonia said as she planted a kiss on zero's forehead.

"Your welcome. You know I would do anything for you my love." Zero said as he held her hand.

"Maybe after you get better we can go on a date." Sonia said.

"Yah. But I have a feeling that this isn't over, not by a long shot. If what I think is correct our date will have to wait." Zero said.

"You mean…." Sonia said

"Yes, there will be others like Chill Penguin, and flame mammoth. I don't want you to get hurt so I want you to stay here with hope. That way I know you are safe." Zero said.

"I couldn't bear the thought of losing you." Zero said as he started to cry.

Sonia saw this and put her arms around him. She knew what he meant. He wanted to keep her safe no matter what.

"Zero. I promise you I'll stay here if any more of those guys show up." Sonia said with a smile.

"Promise me you'll always come back to me." She said as she let go of him.

"I promise. I will come back no matter what happens. You can count on it." Zero said as he closed his eyes.

(Back in the floating lab.)

"So you have failed me as well flame mammoth." Said sigma.

"STORM EAGLE! I have a mission for you!"

Several days later zero was still in pain but he was now walking around. School was still out but zero couldn't care less. He Sonia and geo kept up with their studies at home. Zero and Sonia were sitting on the couch watching TV.

(In zero mind he is starting to remember things of his past)

"Mom! No you can't go. Don't die on me. I wouldn't know what to do if you died on me." Said a young zero.

"Son, don't trust your father. It was he who injected the virus in to my body. You have to be there for your sister. Get her out of here. Get Kat out!" said zero's mom.

"Mom, I will I'll get her out of here I promise you that." Said zero.

"Thank you, sta-" said his mom as she died.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" zero yelled.

(Now back to where zero and Sonia are)

Zero was opening his eyes when he saw Sonia sleeping on his lap.

"That was my mom the last time I saw her alive." Zero said in his head with sadness in his eyes.

"Just who am I?" zero asked himself.

"Sonia is so cute when she is sleeping." Zero thought.

"Zero?" Sonia asked as she looked up at him as she was wakening up from her "nap".

"Yes Sonia." He said looking at her.

"Are you ok? You look like you are in pain." She said as she was sitting up.

"I just remembered some bad memories." He said.

"Oh, I'm sorry" she said.

"Don't be. It was about the last time I saw my mom alive. She was dying from a virus infection in her body. But that's all I remember." He said.

"I see. It's just like when my mom died." She said holding his hand.

"Sonia…" zero said as he pulled her in a comforting hug. She just hugged him back.

Geo was coming downstairs from doing his homework when he saw Sonia and zero hugging.

"Hey you two get a room." Mega mocked as he saw this display.

Zero and Sonia pulled away from each other and blushed madly.

"Hey mega it's not like they were kissing." Geo told mega.

This made zero and Sonia blush even more.

"I guess but all of this love business gets under my waves Yuck." Mega said.

"I…I'm going to see if hope needs any help with dinner." Sonia said walking into the kitchen.

Geo sat next to zero. Flipping through the channels he said.

"Sorry about mega's outburst. He has no respect for love relationships."

"Its fine, I just finished telling her what I remembered about my past. How my mom died." Zero told geo.

"Oh!" Geo said sounding shocked.

Next chapter: a windy day.

Mmsf2010: sorry that it's a little short, but I just wanted to get this posted before I go off to school for 1 ½ years. This will be my last chapter for awhile. But don't worry I'll be back.

ZERO: yah he'll be back or otherwise he'll have to answer to my saber.

Mmsf2010: shouldn't you still be in bed?

*whack*

Sonia: I'll be the one to deal with you while he's recovering.

Mmsf2010: ok...OK... well anyway see you all next time.
