Author's Note: The story and the characters, such as Daniel and Stephen and the other OCs, belong to the original author of Megaman ZX Revive, XSDStitch. The two OCs I'm adding for the final battle, however, belong to me, being the heroes in two of my own Megaman fics, one of which was in the world of the original cartoon, the other I'm integrating into the story from my MMZX fic that happens only a few months after ZX 1. He has given me permission to continue Megaman ZX Revive due to his major writer's block. And, just like the title suggests, I asked him for permission to continue Megaman ZX Revive so I could also fix his errors to help him out and completely redo the errors that the reviewers had complained about. Megaman, Megaman X, Megaman Zero, Megaman ZX and ZX Advent, Dragon Ball Z and MLaaTR do not belong to me. They are the sole properties of Capcom, Akira Toriyama and Nickelodeon respectively.
Megaman ZX Revive: Rewritten
Chapter 1
It is the year 25XX, the 26th Century.
Three months have passed since Master Thomas and Master Mikhail of the Sage Trinity had disappeared since Master Albert had betrayed them. He was defeated by a friend in my organization, however, to prevent him from destroying the world with Ouroboros. But I didn't care about the disappearances of the remaining Sage Trinity members.
I only focused on my passion and my work associated with that passion.
I was a member of the Hunters, an organization that looks for countless ancient artifacts in ruins that were ancient themselves, and then sell the artifacts they find for money. There was, however, a similar organization that were Hunters as well, but their activities were illegal. But in the official Hunters organization, I was a special member. I was what is now called a Rebuilder.
Rebuilders are Hunters which search for old machines and technology to repair and even upgrade. Some of the technology that was thought to be lost forever to mankind had come back because the Rebuilders were formed and found machines with the lost technology. The old technology that was thought lost was repaired by Rebuilders like me. They were even upgraded with state-of-the-art technology and made as if they were brand-new or, as I like to think of it, reinvented.
My aforementioned passion and specialty was rebuilding Reploids, Mechaniloids and so on. In short, the reconstruction of mechanical beings of the past.
I was currently exploring some uncatalogued ruins I found recently. These ruins looked very old, and I had a good feeling about these particular ruins.
I knew that these ruins were my chance. If I found something that was lost for a long time, it would make me famous. Such findings in ancient ruins like these would get me some extra money. I really needed the money because I am extremely strapped for cash at the moment, which isn't a good thing for me. And in such a situation, the repairs of my small personal aircraft were already made with scrap I had salvaged and found to be useable as temporary repairs.
I traveled further into the ruins and, luckily, I found a few hints from what time these ruins were from. From some of the old computers that were still operational, I looked at some files and I was surprised by the info. These ruins were from 23XX. These ruins were from the time of the Resistance!
I had considered myself particularly lucky with this discovery. The reason being was because everybody thought all of the ruins of the time of the 24th Century had all been found and searched through.
I was about to jump into the air and whoop in excitement until I heard something.
I carefully looked around the corner where I heard the sound and found old Drones from the same period of time. I couldn't believe 200-year-old machines like these were still working. And what was worse, they still had their old programming which would cause me trouble. The trouble with this was that they would mark me as a Maverick, thanks to the regime of Copy X and Dr. Weil back in the time of the Resistance. During Copy X's reign, only Reploids were discriminated against, labeled as Mavericks, and sent to concentration camps for 'retirement'. But during Dr. Weil's reign after the death of Copy X MK2, it didn't matter whether you were a human or a Reploid. Anyone, human or Reploid, that didn't agree with Dr. Weil's psychotic ideals were labeled Mavericks as well, even the humans during his reign. It was such a terrible time for both humans and Reploids.
Back to the present. From the looks of these Drones from old pictures of the Resistance timeline, these were X-Drones, drones created by and modeled after the original Copy X to terminate suspected Mavericks. My guess is that they were X-Drones from before or after Copy X MK2 was created by Dr. Weil.
I knew if I wanted to look further into the ruins I need to get them out of the way.
I took my Blaster, a version of the standard Buster of the Hunters, but with my own special modifications. I pointed it at the nearest X-Drone and took careful aim. But because of stroke of bad luck, I only had 24 shots left in the power cell out of the full charge's-worth of 200 shots I had started out with.
I shot the first X-Drone down with a single shot to where the power core was from the blueprints I remembered. The others reacted as their programming had dictated and shot at me with semi-auto fire, firing multiple three-round bursts. I ducked behind a wall and waited until it stopped.
After several more three-round bursts, there was silence. Then there was the sound of something collapsing on the ground. I looked carefully and found the remaining X-Drone remnants deactivated on the ground. My guess was that shooting at me took the last of their energy from what had remained in their power cores. After 200 years of inactivity while waiting for any supposed Mavericks, it didn't come as a surprise to me. But I was stupid for wasting a shot to destroy the one X-Drone. If I had known they had little energy like that left, I would've just caught their attention for a short time and force them to fire at me. I would've done this while I hid behind the wall until the last of their energy was depleted from their cores. I should have realized this sooner, but there was no need to keep worrying about that now. I continued forward.
I explored further into the ruins after the fight and came to the conclusion that these ruins were from the middle of Weil's reign over Neo Arcardia.
It was while I was exploring a partially caved in hallway that I found a door. After I forced the door open, I was in a large, badly damaged room. I looked around carefully, however, and from the remains I knew I had found the power core room of this building. Only a few buildings had its' own power core room, so I assumed this was a really important building at the time.
While I was searching, I found the remains of the core and shuddered as I found the remains of a human body. The person must have died in a large explosion, or from old age. But thankfully, the core was still operational. And to my surprise, I soon found out why: it was cut off from the rest of the building so it couldn't supply the other rooms with energy nor build up energy for energy storage units used for emergency power. And what gave this theory away was a badly damaged Reploid body. From the looks of it, I would say this was a combat-model Reploid and had really old technology equipped in it's mechanical structure. Some of it, from what I could see, hadn't been used for a really long time, at least 400 years.
This Reploid must have been in the same explosion. But by the looks of it, it was lucky to have fallen in a way that the energy cables of the core supporting his damaged body hadn't been severed. And after I did a quick check of the computer, I found out the main system, the "Brain" of the Reploid, was still active.
This Reploid was properly active in this state for 200 years. But the self shutdown system had been damaged beyond repair, to the point where he couldn't even shutdown at all.
I couldn't believe my good luck on top of finding this old Resistance ruin. I found an active Reploid of the Resistance era. That meant he had every memory of that particular point in time and I only needed to repair him. But it was too much of a risk to do the repairs here, as I didn't have the needed parts or tools with me at the time.
I reached for my backpack and pulled out two portable Trans Server units and placed them by the Reploid. After I placed the Trans Server units by the Reploid, I took out an emergency power core I had with me, placing it within this Reploid to be sure he wouldn't shut down. After I installed the emergency power core in his body, I removed the energy cables of the power core in the room. I activated the portable Trans Server units and, in a matter of seconds, the body disappeared in a flash of light, being teleported home to my workshop, where I would be able to do the repairs. I looked around the room of these ruins one last time and collected everything I thought would be useful or could be restored. After that, I left the ruins back out the way I came. As I passed through the entrance of the ruins, I found the personal aircraft of other Hunters and, after a quick talk, I went back to my aircraft and flew back to the Hunters HQ.
