Zero had only a second ago been warned of his approach to the Moon base. Suddenly, he was receiving a call. He activeted the link. Mega Man X's voice filled the speakers.
"Zero, this is X. Are you okay?"
"Bad timing X. We're on our way in. I have to cut all transmissions. That means you too!"
"Sorry Zero. I'm on my way in also. I just wanted to wish you luck on your mission."
"Thanks X, but it won't be neccessary. Whoever is behind this attack from the moon, they aren't going to be around long enough to give you guys any trouble down there!"
"Alright Zero. Be careful up there."
"Thanks X. You too!" --Zero had no choice, but to cut the comm, and let X go. He smiled. X was such a good friend. He always called Zero to wish him well before a mission.
Meanwhile, Mega Man X piloted the small hover craft over the water. Dr. Doppler's Island was in the center of the display window. It appeared as if someone had entered into an arial battle with Doppler already. "HQ, this is X. It looks like the party's already started without us."
"Roger X. Intel has a match. Looks like our friend Castendo is back."
"Anyone know who he is, or who he works for?", X asked.
"Works for? Beg your pardon?", HQ asked.
"Yeah, you heard me. He's just a puppet, plain as day! No one would seriously expect him to be the mastermind behind this!", X expelained.
"What do you mean? He's launched an effective strike, by the looks of it."
"Remember all those battles with Sigma?",X asked.
"Yeah.", the tech officer at HQ replied.
"Sigma didn't start mixin' it up till the end. He's never shown his face in the early stages of a battle. And he never put himself in harm's way until the last possible moment!"
"You got a good point X. What's your call?", the tech asked him. X looked at IO, who sat next to him. They were coming in fast, a whole fleet of vessles over the water.
"We'll sweep wide left around the island. The major hot spot is around the other side. We'll enter in from the back side of the battle, and ambush them. View everything not wearing a Hunter insignia as a possible threat."
"Roger X.", HQ replied. X looked at his dash console to see winking lights coming from the large cluster of ships behind him. Each of them was signalling him with a confirmation of his orders. If things worked well, they would take Doppler by surprise. They would make shore in ten minutes. IO looked over at X. "You ready for some fun?", X asked him.
"As ready as I'll ever be!", IO replied. (to be continued)
