This story begins before MMX, and hopefully may one day go into a full blown Novelization of the X series. Please note I own nothing related to Mega Man. I do, however, own the story and any OCs


"STILL NOTHING, DOC." Said the Mettaur, a small robot with a yellow hard hat and a black head under it. No fossils. No plants. Not but the soft rocks they dugged. The only thing to find was nothing. "Beh beh! MAYBE WE SHOULD MOVE ON?"

"There should be some fossils here. There has been no other diggers, so they should be here...."

"MAYBE IT WOULDN'T BE HERE. DIDN'T THEY FOUND THIS ISLAND RECENTLY?"

"This island wasn't made, there wasn't any record." The man responded, rubbing his eyes. He wore the brown clothes that usually were worn on fossil digs. "Maybe we should be moving on....."

"YOU OK DOC?" the robot replied, looking with concern (If the thing under his helmet could be counted as a face).

"Just tired." The doctor replied, setting his shovel down. "Let's pack up and move on to the next site. Hopefully we can get there tomorrow and spend the night."
"Bebeh! METAL DETECTED! METAL DETECTED!" The robot repeated as it jumped up and down. It put a smile on the kind doctor to see him with so much energy. Being a miner bot, he could naturally detect metal.

"We aren't here to dig for metal, MT-82. Save the energy for the dig."

"Behbeh! HOW MUCH FURTHER DOC?"

"Let's see...opps! We're here!"

"WE DIG FOR METAL?"

"No, we're here to dig up the past, not metal. I, however, wouldn't mind digging up a bit if it is the good stuff though." He said with a smile.

"BehBEH!" The robot continued to jump as his favorite job was announced.
the next day........

"Behbeh! FOUND SOMETHING! FOUND SOMETHING!" The robot yelled from his hole, gigantic compared to the doctor's.

"Please tell me it's not a another...." the doctor started as he saw what caught the robot's eyes,"...pretty...rock? A door?"

As he said, the Mettaur dugged out a door. Upon closer examination, he saw that there was a wall, so it put out the possibilities that this wasn't what he hope for.....

"82, crowbar."....or was it?
When the mettaur returned with the crowbar, he saw it was no longer necessary. It seems that the door still opens, and the good doctor has figured it out how to open it.

"Let's go, 82." The doc said as he glanced into the dark. The doors are automatic.......what is this place? the doctor thought.

It was dark and the air was stall, but most of everything was....in shape?
"WAS SOMEONE HERE RECENTLY?" 82 asked, "EVERYTHING IS NEAR MINT CONDITION." the mettaur said as he ran ahead to look at a shiny object.

"No, it was sealed, and by the looks, sterilized before it was sealed. WHOAAH!" Unbeknown to the doctor, 82 has stopped and stood in the doctor's path, tripping him. He landed on the floor and lost his glasses. After a moment of searching and finding his glasses, he put his hand on a table and stood up.

"82! Please watch where you-"

"Buzzzzzzz......Personal diary.....buzzzz..." A hologram appeared on a device, which was on the table. The doctor has actually pressed a button as he got up. The figure was a man in a lab coat with a beard. He look stern, but even in hologram he gave ? "The research is going smoothly. Hopefully I will be able to beat Wily. This breakthrough may help the world, but are we ready? If used correctly, it will be a great tool for peace, or even greater tool for destruction. I hope the capsule will be finished in time. Wily will have to wait also, I hope. If not, then I pray we can hold him off until then. It's only a small possibility anyway. The research he stole is incomplete, and even so, he will focus only on the destruction aspect of it. He knows not the full extent of what he has." The holo smiled "He'll have quite a time of it."

The holo ended, leaving the two watchers dumbfounded.
Three days later.....

'It's almost there!" The doctor yelled as he and his faithful robot mettaur pulled a piece of the ceiling in a fashion similar to turning a page.

BOOOOMM!!! The debre fell on the empty floor. The ceiling was leaning against the wall, where the duo hoped there was more information on the 'breakthrough'. From notes lying around, it was made made by a T. Light, which rang a bell in the doctors head. The notes maybe were made by Thomas Light, but there was no proof but those notes. But at that moment, he would forget for now the reason he came, for what he found would change both him and the world.

"Is it..." The doctor began.

"...THE CAPSULE?"

Standing 14 meters high and 8 meters wide, before them stood what they searched for. The doctor ran up to the capsule without hesitation.

"Perfectly intact....it hasn't lost power after all this time? It seems to be running a diagnostic, but on what? This technology! It has to be his work!"

"WHO'S?"

"Dr. Lights! Thanks to him, Robots exists in such numbers! His technology was literally light years from the time before him! It seems it still is...." at that moment the doctor let out a large yawn.

"SIR, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET SOME REST. YOU WORKED HARD TODAY."

"Maybe your right..."

The next day...

"Let's tell the computer to open the capsule. It seems to be the easiest way." The doctor began to type on a nearby computer, which seemed linked to the capsule

SYSTEM:CAPSULE INFORMATION

AUDIO SYSTEM: GREEN

MECHANICS: GREEN

AI: GREEN

WEAPONS: GREEN

VARIABLE WEAPON SYSTEM: GREEN

X-CHIP: FULLY OPERATIONAL

TOTAL SYSTEM CHECK: GREEN

COMMAND?


"WEAPONS? SIR, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS-"

RELEASE

The room began to flash red. A expression of fear appeared on his face. He thought he should have check for traps first. Then text appeared quickly across the screen.

WARNING:

"X" IS THE FIRST OF A NEW GENERATION OF ROBOTS WHICH CONTAIN AN INNOVATIVE NEW FEATURE - THE ABILITY TO THINK, FEEL AND MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. HOWEVER THIS ABILITY COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.
IF "X" WERE TO BREAK THE FIRST RULE OF ROBOTICS, "A ROBOT MUST NEVER HARM A HUMAN BEING", THE RESULTS WOULD BE DISASTROUS AND I FEAR THAT NO FORCE ON EARTH COULD STOP HIM.
APPROXIMATELY 30 YEARS WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE WE CAN SAFELY CONFIRM HIS RELIABILITY. UNFORTUNATELY I WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE THAT DAY, NOR DO I HAVE ANYONE TO CARRY ON MY WORK. THEREFORE, I HAVE DECIDED TO SEAL HIM IN THIS CAPSULE, WHICH WILL TEST HIS INTERNAL SYSTEMS UNTIL HIS RELIABILITY HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. PLEASE DO NO DISTURB THE CAPSULE UNTIL THAT TIME.
"X" POSSESSES GREAT RISKS AS WELL AS GREAT POSSIBILITIES. I CAN ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST.

SEPTEMBER 18, 20XX
T. LIGHT

The alarm turned off as the last line appeared. Then more appeared....

PLEASE HELP HIM, FOR EVEN HE LOOKS LIKE A ROBOT, HE WILL NEED SOMETHING IMPORTANT. FRIENDS. I HOPE THE ONE TO READ THIS WILL BE PURE OF HEART, AND WILL HELP HIM ACHIEVE HIS FULL POTENTAL.

PSSSSSHHHH!

The capsule opened at last, reveling a blue robot who stepped forward.

"Who are you? Where is DR. Light?"

"Dr. Light....disappear and was presume dead a long time ago. I am Doctor Cain, and this is MT-82, my companion. What is your name?"

"...Mega Man X. You can call me X."


AN:R&R! I want to hear how I done!
