Megaman X: Modern Hunters

The Ultimate Firewall

Christine and Gabriella both charged at the giant head first as it began spouting out nitrogen gas from it's nose, electricity from it's eyes and fire from it's mouth for a horrifying elemental combination.

"LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE END FOR YOU!" The gunner screams as it fires a wide arc laser that Christine and Gabriella barely avoid.

"Who's controlling the head?!" Christine asks, unsure of how to attack either of them.

"THAT WOULD BE SIGMA! NOW DIE!" The gunner screams back in response as the head attempts to crush Christine and Gabriella.

"WHOA!" Christine shouts as she and Gabriella barely avoid the move. Seeing an opportunity, Gabriella fires her octave clef and scales the giant head. When she reaches the top, Gabriella fires a flame wave, but it only scratches the gunner, which Jack seems to be controlling.

"EAT THIS!!!" Jack screams as he fires a barrage of laser shots.

"God does this guy ever shut up?!" Gabriella asks out loud, and the head she is standing on suddenly starts violently shaking and the hunter gets thrown off!

"GABBY!!!" Christine shouts as she catches her little sister before setting her on her feet. "WHY I OUGHTA-" And with that, Christine double jumps and drives her saber into the giant head Sigma is controlling. Using that as leverage, she makes it to the top of the head and sees Jack with his eyes locked on her. Jack fires a laser shot but thanks to Christine's upgrades she is able to deflect it right back, causing Jack to shoot his own gun and destroy it in the process!

"What the heck?! My gun!" Jack shouts.

"That'll teach you to try and mess with my sister!" Christine shouts. "Gabby! He's open!"

"I don't think so!" Jack shouts as the gunner detaches from it's post, revealing it to be only just the upper body. A rocket fires up and the gunner takes to the skies as Gabriella and Christine focus on the head.

"What are we going to do about this thing?! It's spewing stuff like ooze!" Gabriella shouts to Christine.

"We gotta get inside somehow!" Christine shouts back as she starts cutting into the head with her Z-saber like a can opener. While she does that, Jack charges and snatches Christine in his hands! "LET ME GO YOU HALF-BRAINED DICKHEAD!"

"I won't be letting you do that!" Jack cackles as he prepares to smash Christine into the ground, but a fully charged shot hits the hand holding his hostage!

"Christine! Land on the head!" Gabriella shouts, and Christine manages to stick the landing, with her saber.

"I'm in! Focus on Jack and I'll get big head here!" Christine shouts to Gabriella.

"I DARE YOU TO CALL SIGMA BIG HEAD AGAIN!" Jack screams as he tries to snatch up Gabriella. Meanwhile inside the head, Christine systematically disables all of the offensive systems, causing the head to simply float around aimlessly.

"And now for the finish!" Christine shouts as she destroys the machinery from the inside! The red hunter makes it out just in time as the head explodes into nothingness.

"Nice one Christine!" Gabriella shouts, but suddenly Jack divebombs and scoops up both girls!

"GOTCHA NOW!" Jack cackles as he takes off high into the sky.

"We gotta stop him before he tries anything!" Christine shouts.

"But we can't survive a fall like this!" Gabriella shouts back. That's when Jack starts to dive for the ground, and the girls slowly but surely wriggle out of Jack's grasp. Eventually they get free and jump!

"What?! Those fools!" Jack shouts as he pulls up. The fall was quite a few feet, but Christine and Gabriella managed to survive the landing without any ill effects.

"Alright, we're free, now we have to take care of Jack once and for all." Christine says as she prepares her scythe. That's when she notices the buster that has formed on her arm. "Since when did I get a buster?"

"Since you fought me as a maverick." Gabriella replies. "You must have kept it in you all that time. Let's do it!" And with that, Christine and Gabriella both charge up their shots to the max. Jack stops flying around and hovers to see what his arch-rivals are doing, and even though he can't express it, he's surprised.

"...Uh oh..." Jack mumbles.

"HI-YAH!" Christine and Gabriella shout as they let loose fully charged shots! Thanks to their close proximity, the two shots combine into one large one and it hits Jack full force! The gunner body that Jack is using crashes to the ground, and Gabriella and Christine slowly and carefully approach it.

"Did we do it?" Gabriella asks. That's when Jack grabs both girls once more.

"HA... HA... HA... I'M... FAR FROM DONE!" Jack screams as he takes off once more. This time, the girls hear a loud beeping noise.

"He's gonna self destruct!" Gabriella shouts as they are taken high into the sky!

"IF I'M GONNA GO DOWN... I'M TAKING YOU TWO WITH ME!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!" Jack screams as explosions begin to engulf his body!

"Quick! Blast me out!" Christine shouts as she charges up a shot. Gabriella does the same and they manage to blast Jack's hands off, allowing them to escape as the gunner explodes, along with Jack.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Jack screams for the last time as his virus is destroyed in the explosion. Christine and Gabriella begin to freefall, and the two look at each other.

"I really hope someone catches us!" Gabriella shouts.

"If we don't get saved... Just know that I love you!" Christine shouts back.

"I don't think so girls! I'm here!" A distant voice calls out.

"Iris?!" Christine calls back. Sure enough, Iris is zooming towards them in a ride chaser! The one she is riding is styled almost like a pickup truck, and the navigator manages to catch the girls without a second thought.

"Oh god... You just saved us!" Gabriella says to Iris.

"No problem." Iris replies. "But everyone back at Maverick Hunter HQ has you to thank, for stopping the threat that is Sigma! Let's head back home, we've already got construction workers on the scene!"

"Alright!" Christine and Gabriella cheer as Iris takes them home having completed a successful mission.
