Mega Man Oneshots (requests open July 2020!)

Favorite Ship (X x reader)

      I was taking a nice friendly stroll down an abandoned street in Abel City. It was my Off Day and I decided to got to some forgotten places to explore. Everything was falling apart and was covered in vines. It had a nice and calming aesthetic to it.
      As my robotic legs came to a stop, I noticed something was off. There were burn marks, everywhere.
     "Well that's not a good sign.", I said aloud to myself. But I wasn't expecting to get an answer.
     "No it isn't, ain't it?"
In a rushed panic, I prepared my weapon. "Wh-Who's there?!", I frantically asked failing to sound threatening.
     "An old friend.", The voice replied. I could sense movement behind me, so I spun on my heel only to see a flash of yellow. "Ya' still seem to be puzzled so I'll give you a lil' hint, (Y/n)."
       I could hear them circling me as a shark would to its prey. "I am thought to be dead.", they practically sung behind me. "I was made fun of a lot due to my disguise.", the voice announced behind me. "Which in fact was a rookie Maverick Hunter.". They spat in my left ear.
       I spun around to be met with nothing but a breeze. "It can't be.", I whispered to myself. The only reploid to fit that description was the former chubby helper of X's. "D..Double?", I asked.
       "Yes! Hahaha! So ya' do remember me!", he chanted. "You, X, and I used to be so close, you remember that don't you?", he asked, finally stepping out in front of me.
         He was in his battle form, but he was torn up. He was covered in dirt, slight rust, cracks and dents.
          At this moment I contacted Alia and sent her 'Signal 46.'
Allow me to break the fourth wall for a moment please. Signal 46 is a made up signal that the author says the Hunters use in a situation like this. They were caught off guard and found a Maverick, which means they might need backup. The unsuspecting maverick thinks they have a Hunter trapped. But it's unknown to them that the Hunters are eavesdropping and listening for a sign that a fight will take place to give their fellow hunter backup. Now back to the story.
      I felt my my communicator buzz lightly, showing that Alia got my signal and is preparing backup.
"How did you survive?", I asked "I thought X-"
"Defeated me?! Ha! All I had to do to fool him was just put on a lil' act.", Double interrupted taking two steps forward but came to a halt when I aimed my weapon at his torso.
"S-stay back!", I yelled trying to sound threatening once again, but alas my endeavor was not to be.
"Still as cute as ever (Y/n).", he teased. "But don't worry, I ain't gon' hurt ya'. I'm just gonna talk."
He paced closer.
For every step he took forwards, I took one backwards. But ironically, my dorsal side was met with a wall of a ghosted building. "What are you playing at? You honesty think I'm going to drop my weapon after what you did to those innocents? What you did to my friends? I'm sorry Double.", I wanted to say more but I knew if I would have gone on I would have hurt my own feelings.
"I apologize as well, dear (Y/n). It ain't right for me to hurt innocents or your friends. But you know what your so-called friends said behind my back. So I was just simply getting revenge on the ones who tormented me.", he smirked devilishly after his lies.
I begun to charge/power up my weapons. "We both know that isn't truth.", I corrected.
"Are ya' getting feisty now? You certainly have changed. I'll give ya' a chance to put that weapon away before I'll have to force you listen.", he spat.
After his threat I did not hesitate to defend myself by lunging forward to attack him. But to my dismay, Double skillfully dodged it with ease and pinned me to the ground with his foot.
            I was on my back and looking up at him. His expression was merciless and terrifying. But the words that came out of his mouth were the complete opposite.
            "You were the only other one that was kind to me. I just want to go back to how it was before.", he stated with a sly smirk. 'Wow he is a VERY bad actor.', I thought to myself.
              "Your expression says otherwise.", I spat while giving him a cold hard glare. "Oh whatever, I speak the truth. I want you to cooperate, X trusts you so he'll listen to me if you do.", he said pushing his foot hard into my chest causing me to whimper.
               "Aw, that was cute. Do it again.", he psychotically grinned putting all his weight into me.
                It hurt and it hurt like hell. But I refused to give him the satisfaction of my pain.

                "Get your damned self the hell off me."

              This surprised Double. You have never cursed in front of him before. So this truly was a special occasion.
               He began to laugh, wholeheartedly. And it made you sick to your stomach. Before you could say anything else, a voice announced its self behind you.
               "Well? She told you to do something, so get off your  lazy ass and do it.", It commanded. It was X and his squad! Wait did he just-
              "Looks like Zero had taught the both of you how to cuss, but no matter.", Double said, somehow pushing even more pressure into you.
              You cried out this time, unable to keep it in anymore. Double was dangerous, it was a miracle how X defeated him by himself. But this time he has his whole squad, so he can put up another fight.
Your senses were blurry. All you could see were colors. All you could hear was mumbling. Damn it. How heavy was Double?
Suddenly, the unbearable weight lifted off your chest. Before you had anytime to react, you felt a hand clamp around your neck. Your body became lighter as you were lifted off the ground.
Thankfully, reploids don't need oxygen so you couldn't be choked. But it still hurt.
Crying out in pain, you noticed a black circle closing in on your vision. "Am I passing out?", you thought.
You passed out.
X's P.O.V.
                "Put. Her. Down. Now.", I spat with venom.  I can't stand the very thought of (Y/n) getting hurt. But here she is totally helpless in front of me. It made me sick.
                  (Y/n) was nothing but kind to everyone. Although she is shy, she could never bring herself to hurt anyone. Well, unless they were a threat to the city.
                Besides Zero, she's the only one I can talk to. The both of us have very similar beliefs when it comes to violence and Maverick Hunting. It has made me fall for her.
                   "Or what? Your gonna shoot me? Hate to break it to ya' X, but unless you want both of us to go down, I recommend drop put all yer' weapons.", said Double.
                   I glanced at (Y/n)'s unconscious state. She didn't deserve this. Any of this. I can't be the one to hurt her.
                  But before I had the chance to comply, voices announced themselves behind me.
                       "Don't listen to him boss! We got this!"
                       "Yeah! We'll get yer girl back!"
                       "We won't let him harm anyone again!"
                       "Don't give him what he wants!"
                 It was my squad encouraging me. At that moment I realized, if I were to drop my weapon like I did in the past, only bad things would come from it.
                      "Sorry Double! I'm afraid that won't happen!", I said. The sound of cheers behind me filled my audio fin.
                "Hm, well then.", Double said tossing (Y/n) to the side. In a flash Double was gone, and the once cheery noises behind me became screams and pained groans.
                    "You're lucky I spared them. If I would have killed anyone else there's no way I get (Y/n) to listen.", he hissed. "Now, where were- AGH!!",  X had fired a fully charged shot straight into Double's chest. "Why you- AHG!".
                    Another one to the side of his head.  "I gave you a chance once!", X yelled holding back tears. "And now, after seeing what you've done to my men, to (Y/n), I don't think I can give you another one.".
Holding the side of his face, Double threatened X one last time. "Don't think this is the last you've seen of me, X.", he hissed. "I'll be back. And she will never be safe. Ever.", he threatened one last time before teleporting away.
I looked behind me to see my men back up on their feet. I rushed to see if they were alright. But before I could make it to them one held their hand up at me, gesturing to stop. I did so.
"We're fine. Go get her, tiger.", he said. Nodding, I sprinted my way to where (Y/n) was laying. I sat on my knees and scooped her up. "(Y/n)? Are you okay?", I asked. She quietly groaned.
"X? X, is he gone?", she asked weakly. I pulled her into a tight hug. "Yeah., yeah he's gone. I took care of it.", I replied. "I'm so glad you're safe.", I said on the verge of tears.
"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?", (Y/n) asked. I pulled her away from me to look her in the eyes. "Who cares about me?!", I asked.
" I do, X. I really do.", she comforted. This time (Y/n) pulled me into a hug.

Behind them, X's squad silently cheered. "X had finally done it!", one of them whispered yelled. "Shut up! You'll ruin their moment!", another hushed.

Let's just say that X and (Y/n) became the HQ's favorite ship.
