Player's p.o.v.
Remember me? The Mega Man fangirl? I'm Marianne, incase you forgot. I'd been taking a break from MegaMan after the event that happened to me. (The X9 event) And over the time, I had come to the conclusion that X9 was a fan-made game, and whoever made it had programmed it with a seri affect which is how the robots could communicate with me.
I was pretty disapointed. It was such a good game, and I put myself through pointless self blame.
After school one day, I found a game in the trashcan outside my school. Mega Man X10. According to the box, it was made by the same people who made the previous one.
I knew it was another fan-made game, but the previous one was so good I couldn't help myself. Of course, I went to see if it belonged to anyone. I only asked my best friend because we were pretty much the only people in the school who knew about Mega Man.
She said it wasn't hers, and so I decided to pop it in for a new adventure. I'd decided to put this in the lost and found after I'd played it, if it was any good.
I was greeted with an Anime cut scene. How they were able to make these, I couldn't figure out. Maybe it was fan-made animation? If so, whoever did these deserves a medal.
The cut scene played. There was a woman sitting on a roof. And to my surprise, it was a human! She had long red hair with blue eyes wearing a mini skirt and a skimpy tank top. She was bombing a road from the top of a building.
She chuckled evilly. Her chuckles turned into a meniacal laughter. I listened to her laugh evilly for about 10 seconds. I figured she must've been the main villain. A female HUMAN villain. This was a new step.
The Maverick Hunters casually walked up behind her.
"Get in the cage," they said in unison.
"Whah!"
They tossed her in a cage and hauled her away.
"That's eight nights in a row," Zero moaned. "You're more persistent than Sigma was..."
"Yeah, but at least I run away," the girl said. "It's nice being a human. You can't destroy me or you'll be considered Mavericks."
"We're not letting you escape this time, Ava," X growled. "We're keeping you in that bolted cage in the basement until further notice."
"Hey! I'm a human! I need to eat!"
"We'll pick up some human food for you when we have time."
The girl they called Ava pouted in the cage. The cut scene faded out and went to another cut scene with the Maverick Hunters in a room with three pods, which I'm assuming are their beds.
"Man, we've barely had any time to rest since Ava started causing trouble."
"Geez, Ava's more annoying than that girl from three years ago," Axl moaned. "What was her name? Mary?"
"No, I think it was Ann."
"It doesn't matter, let's just get some sleep."
I knew they were talking about me. So the timeline was three years from then? It's only been a few weeks since I played X9.
The alarm went off with Alia's frantic voice echoing along with it.
"Ava's just escaped!"
"AAAAAAAUUGH!"
Zero literally caught on fire and pulled out his saber.
"That's it...! She's dead!"
He and X ran out. Axl stood over the pod/bed whimpering.
"We shall be reunited on day, my love..."
"Come on!" X said as he dragged him out.
I couldn't help but chuckle. Right after that, we were put into the intro stage which I guess was you chasing Ava. There's nothing much to say about the gameplay, everybody played like they did in the previous game, and the intro stage was just jumping and shooting.
Soon, we reached Ava.
X's textbox popped up.
"How many fucking times do we have to chase you down!? Come back now and we'll take three... five years off your scentence! Alright?"
"... I don't know why reploids exist at all," Ava said, completely oblivious to X. "Humans have been here long before you robots, and we'll be here long after. You want to live in peace with us, X-ey? You reploids aren't good enough to live with us at all."
She suddenly hopped into a ride armor and a health bar appeared.
Like most intro bosses, she was incredibly big and incredibly stupid. She played as Vile did in Maverick Hunter X. After a few hits, she went down.
"Agh...!"
Axl's textbox popped up.
"Aww, that was no fun."
"... ... It's time."
"Wha-"
The ground crumbled under them.
Axl's p.o.v.
I held my head and moaned. I think I fell about 10 feet. I looked up and saw the hole above my head.
"This seems familiar," I mumbled. "Very familiar..."
I grew angry and gripped my gun. How dare Ava say that about us reploids...! Maybe I don't want to live beside humans either! After all, it was a human who tortured me for about an hour trying to move X into a wormhole. And it was a human who tortured me with spikes. Brr! I get chills just thinking about that!
What was her name!?
That reminded me about that stupid woman. We'd come to the conclusion she was lying the whole time, and was able to control us by planting chips in our brains. How she did this, we don't know. But we were in control of our every movement after the incident with Vance. I literally died back there...
I came to grips with reality and remembered my friends.
"X! Zero! Are you there!? Guys!?"
We must've gotten separated. I decided to walk forward and look for them.
I noticed there wasn't any rubble next to me, when there should've because of the broken floor. Infact, I was in a narrow pathway that was only big enough for me. My instincts told me to follow it.
I moved forward when a turret popped up. It shocked me a bit, but before I could ask where it'd come from seeing how there wasn't any room for it to be hiding it cut me off.
"You must be the newbie proto type. Alex, I believe it was?"
"It's Axl. Don't call me a proto type. Who are you?"
"I don't think it matters who I am. The important question is what is this place. I bet you'd like to know that."
"Uh, yea-"
"This is hell," the turret said swiftly. "The only way out is to fight the Mavericks. You're going to have to fight alone. Maybe if you do well, you might find your friends. You wanna give it a try?"
"We have to stop Ava-"
"These Mavericks are going to kill you and your friends. Ava's just a nuisance. Well, boy?"
I sighed.
"Fine. Eight Mavericks, right?"
"As usual."
"K. Let's get this over with."
Zero's p.o.v.
I tried climbing up the wall with my saber, but I was too heavy for it to support my weight.
"Damn it!" I growled. "Well, I guess I should start looking for a way out."
A turret popped up.
"Hello Ze-"
"HOLY SHIT!"
"OW!"
Why do I use a saber? I punch hard.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you sneaking up on me like that?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. Do you want to get out of here?"
"That'd be nice to know."
"There are eight Mavericks up ahead. If you defeat them, then you may or may not find your friends."
"How can I trust you?"
"I don't know."
"Whatever, I have to find my comrades and stop Ava-"
"Did you not hear me? You can find your friends if you defeat the Mavericks up ahead. And don't worry about Ava. She's no threat to society."
"... Fine. But promise me I'll be able to leave safely with my friends."
"Leave? Certainly. With your friends? Maybe. Safely?" He just chuckled and backed away into the shadows.
"What a creep..."
X's p.o.v.
I tried to scale the wall, but I just fell back down. WHY DID I DOWNGRADE MYSELF!? I decided to walk forward and find a way out. A turret suddenly approached me.
"Wh-who are you!?"
"It doesn't matter. I take it you're worried about your friends and wanna get outta here?"
"Hm? ... Yeah."
"There are eight Mavericks up ahead. If you manage to defeat them, you may find your friends."
"I don't have time for this! Who knows what Ava'll do while-"
"Ava's just a nuisance. Do you honestly think she can take over the world?"
"Probably not. But I've had enough of this war! I'm tired of everyone being each others' enemy! Why do humans and reploids have to fight one another!? ... And why are reploids fighting one another? When will this pointless war end?"
"Reploids fight one another to gain superiortiy, to say who's the best reploid. Reploids fight humans to prove which race is superior. When will the wair end? ... Until one race drops dead."
I remained silent. I just wanted world peace! Was that too much to ask!? I've been asking for like, what, 10 years now!? ... Damn, that must get annoying.
"You can only leave once you've beaten the Mavericks."
"Why? Who are you? What is this place!? How the hell did we get here!?"
"You sure like asking questions. Answers are at the end."
I sighed and walked forward. Maybe I shouldn't've downgraded myself. That would make this easier. Oh well... time to fight eight Mavericks by myself.
Note from author: Thanks for reading! Please review! Also, before you go, I wanted to say... I kind of want to throw in some romance in here. MeXAxl, LayerXZero, ships like that. Do you guys think that's a good idea or not? Let me know.
