AUTHOR'S NOTE: I do NOT own MegaMan, MegaMan X, or any of the characters from that game. I do own Blitz Chick, Starfire, and Hannah. TOUCH AND DIE!

Our tale begins many a year ago…long before Reploids were commonplace technology…the age of robots. Abnormal Labs is a partner of Doctor Light, and run by a young woman known simply as Blitz Chick. Some of Doctor Light's robots have taken up permanent residence there. The labs are co-operated by Blitz Chick's friend, Hannah. This is where our tale first begins…on a simple day at the labs.


The brunette woman stared at the screen, deep blue eyes staring intently at the information before her.

The answer is here…I just KNOW it is! But where…?

Glancing at her calculations before her, the woman spread them out with a blue-gloved hand. Pausing, she smiled. It had been several years since she first integrated her own body with robot technology, but unfortunately, it hadn't caught on like some of her other innovations, the CO2 Engine for example. It ran off of pollutants and some CO2 in the air, purifying the air while eliminating pollution. A good, no, BRILLIANT idea in retrospect. But lately a new idea had become the woman's main project.

Reploids were a highly experimental technology. They were so advanced they weren't even on the market. When the brunette first heard of it, her eyes had lit up.

If I can integrate a robot with a human, why can't I do it with a Reploid?

The idea had seemed simple in her head, but still, nothing worked out as planned. All the simulations she had run ended with the subject dying or going insane. Of course, none of the tests were preformed on real humans, just with a computer program. Converting a robot to a Reploid or just building one would be simple enough, but the challenge was what the woman relished the most.

Pressing a few more keys, the blue-eyed woman held her breath.

"Please work!"

The computer began the simulation and after several tense moments, a green light pulsed, a message flashing good news. At last, a successful binding.

"YEEEEESSS!" The woman leapt out of her chair, turning and running headlong into another woman.

The other woman was tall, with curly blonde hair and pale blue eyes. She too was integrated with Robot technology but her armor looked very similar to Zero's. Her expertise was in spying and on a mission to Wiley's labs, she had caught a glimpse of plans for a robot named Zero. Upon returning she had shown the head of the labs the plans and within two weeks her armor was in place.

Pulling the brunette up, she smiled. "Geeze Blitz, you gave me a scare! I just came to tell you that the CO2 Engine V2.0 is ready!"

Blitz Chick smoothed her long brown ponytail, checking the bright pink hair ribbon holding it in place. "Oh, thanks Hannah, but check this out!"

Peering around Blitz Chick, Hannah stared at the screen. "Success? You mean to tell me…"

"Yep!" Beamed the head of the labs. "It can be done! As soon as I perfect it I'm going to do the first binding."

Binding was the term everyone used at the labs for the surgery that bound robot technology to a human.

Skeptical, Hannah frowned. "Are you sure BC? I mean, you should do some more tests before you do anything else…"

The brunette opened her mouth to object, but someone hailed her from the doorway of her spacious lab.

"BC!"

Turning, Blitz Chick smiled as her robot friend and creation, Starfire, sprinted over. Her design was based off of MegaMan's; only she was female with green boots and a blue suit. Her long blonde ponytail hung to mid back, and her blue eyes sparkled.

"Congrats on the Reploid project! I just heard the news."

Throwing one arm around each girl, Blitz smiled. "I couldn't have done it without you two. So…" She grinned slyly. "Whadda you say we go out for a night on the town? As a celebration?"

Hannah cheered. "AWRIGHT! Party!"

"What's going on?"

The three girls spotted the familiar figure of ProtoMan peering around the doorframe. Bass, Starfire's adoptive older brother, was right behind him, deep burgundy eyes curious.

Starfire gave a squeal of delight and ran over to the boys, hugging them both. "Oh it's so wonderful! BC finally god the Reploid Binding Technology to work!"

ProtoMan lit up. "That's great BC!" He fully stepped into the room, adjusting the shield on his back from pinching the yellow scarf around his neck.

Bass was right behind him, carrying Starfire piggyback style. The sight was almost comical, seeing as Star had to put her head on top of Bass's head to see around the two fins on his helmet.

"That's great BC! It really is. We all know you've worked so hard on this." The ebony robot shifted a little to hold his sister more comfortably. "So where are we going to eat?"

As the five friends laughed and joked in good spirits, none of them had the slightest idea of what was coming. For despite the peace and merriment, something sinister was approaching.


AUTHOR'S NOTE: Awright then! I should do some explaining. Yes, the character of Blitz Chick is based off of me. Hannah is based off of my friend in real life. What will happen next? Who will I kill first? Kidding! …or am I?
