The Twisted World of Cybernetics and You
Getting back into the swing of things is probably not something the doctor would recommend by any stretch of the imagination.
But damn it all, Arabelle can't bring herself to cut ties with her world completely. Such as today, she's flying overhead New York City. Half paying attention to the streets below.
That's when her eye's HUD started screaming at her. She jolted out of her thoughtful, lazy flight, and snatched herself higher into the air, the sparking device sailing past her and exploding with a brilliant, although small, blue flash, "What th' hell, an EMP grenade?"
[KINTOTECH TECHNOLOGY detected.] "--What?"
And her question was answered on the streets below. Wearing blue and red bodyarmor, and a helmet with a T-shaped mask, a tall--what we assume, anyway--man stood with his shoulder cannon aimed at Arabelle, "I won't miss a second time!"
"Fuck that, man, you won't get to fucking shoot a second time." That retort said, she dove. A sharp dive and hands reaching out for the man. He covered his helmeted face, ready for the punch--That never came. With a yelp, he was snatched backwards as the shoulder cannon is wrenched free from his body armor and power pack, the cord snapping apart loudly.
"HEY! Give that back you little bitch!" He shook his fist at Arabelle, angry.
"I don't know who the hell you are Boba-for-brains, or how you got your hands on my dad's tech, but I'm gonna kick your fuckin' blue ass from here to--" She was cut off by a high pitched wine. A slightly different tone than the one she was used to hearing, but the glowing gave it away, "Oh SHIT." She lept upwards, cannon in hand, as a blast of blazing hot solar energy tears through the street behind her. "--That's X's energy attack--how--" [Target subject identified from Cain Files. Target identified as VILE, otherwise known as VAVA--Error. Subject is said to be deceased.]
"VILE?! You're supposed to be dead." Arabelle's eyes were wide, staying in the air and being a moving target. This didn't stop Vile from trying to shoot more solar bursts at her though.
"Hold STILL you little bitch, I need you alive!" He was angry, "Where are Megaman X and Zero? TELL ME."
"Why the frigging hell should I tell you? YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME." Can't deny she has a point there, really. Arabelle swooped low, and her eye scanned the cannon and Vile.
Vile himself was incredibly heavily cybernetic. To the point where really, the only human portion of him left was about half his torso and his head, to say nothing of a cybernetic spine and a mechanical heart.
The shoulder cannon, however, was of real interest. The interesting thing that Arabelle had discovered about her father's technology, is that most of it tends to be cross compatible with itself.
The shoulder cannon was Kintotech Technology. A flick of her wrist and a connection made, "And SERIOUSLY. Chill the hell out." A boom, and he launched one of the EMP grenades it fires. Vile nimbly dodged to the right, shooting more solar plasma at Arabelle. One shot hit home, causing her to jolt and lose height.
She fired again, another EMP grenade sailing for Vile.
...
And then he vanished in the flash of what Arabelle would later guess as a PINpoint, "What the hell?!" The grenade exploded on contact with the ground, "...What the fucking hell." She PINpoints the shoulder cannon away, landing on a nearby building, pulling the buckle off of her belt and clicking it open. "Goldenwing to X. We've got ourselves a fucking problem."
