Mega Man X Vengeance: Remastered
Prologue
"Awakening….That's how Lumine described it. If he's right then what are we doing?" X's words were a soft murmur as he stared out the glass window.
The black curtain of space slowly faded to gentle blue as the elevator made it's descent. While X was trapped in his musings Zero stepped up behind the azure hunter and placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. X tilted his head; an unspoken question on his lips.
"I bet you're thinking about what Lumine said a while ago. Well don't let it get to you. Turning into Sigma could hardly be called evolution." Zero's tone was final, absolute.
For a moment Zero's hand doesn't move from his friend's shoulder. But then, almost as quickly as he had approached X Zero's hand falls away and the crimson Hunter continued as he walked back to his position near the entrance to the elevator.
"Anyway X...Even if we are destined to join the scrap heap when that evolutionary step does come about...We still have to fight not only against mavericks but our own destiny as well."
When the time came? X had a feeling that time was close. Could he fight his own destiny? He wasn't sure. He would have to learn if he could and soon…
Mega Man X Vengeance Remastered
Chapter 1
General David Corian was a burly man, his short black hair cropped to perfect military standard. Black suit perfectly pressed, black leather boots shined to a bright sheen, each of the General's medals perfectly pinned on his uniform. Corian had served the Federation loyally for nearly twenty years. He had seen several different attacks by Sigma and his ilk; Vile, and so many others. He had served loyally and thanks to that he had become the leader of the Federation's Human Division.
Humans were considered outdated and worthless in combat however. This meant his power was essentially nonexistent, and what was more, he knew it. He was merely a ceremonial leader. However, even though his crew was mostly a ragtag group of volunteers he knew many humans felt as he did. He was tired of running. His people had to hide in underground shelters or flee to the farthest reaches of space...If they could afford it anyways.
Furthermore, because of the Eurasia colony fall incident and the ensuing pollution humans had lost almost everything. To make matters worse no sooner than had the pollution been removed Red Alert had fought against the maverick hunters in a massive war that they had called a 'duel'.
Reploids and their arrogance knew no limits and because of it humans had suffered.
Next the new generation Reploids went berserk. The promised 'safe' Reploids were capable of going maverick anyway as Lumine had shown. Worse Yet, the hunters weren't any better as they had the 'god of destruction' in the crimson armored Zero.
Zero was known for preforming his missions with the coldest of efficiency and who knew how many machines he had torn apart with his bare hands, let alone with his trademark Z-Saber.
While humans were poor, and worse equipped they did have new numbers; a strength granted to them by the restoration of earth. Here, on this stage General Corian would make his stand, and reveal his plan for human survival. While Corian gathered his thoughts a black suited man approached him and gave him a nod.
"General, you can take the stage at anytime."
At this the forty five year old Norwegian stood, and with a few quick steps vaulted up to the stage. He glanced at the large crowd, cameras rolling in the back. This was a live conference held by President Alexander Jack and his assembled staff.
Once a year these meetings happened. Normally Corian had just spoken briefly, assuring the world that the Human Forces would continue to provide humanitarian aid, no matter the struggles and that he trusted the Irregular Hunters; or as most of the world called them "Maverick Hunters" to do their jobs well.
But not this time. No more running.
"Enough is enough! Must humanity, the superiors of Reploids, their creators; suffer for the rest of our existence? The first Maverick War saw Abel City destroyed utterly as well as several military locations demolished. Research Institutes vaporized, and for what? A former hunter on a glory seeking quest. Six months later we were promised by the hunters that the world would see an end to the maverick outbreaks. They were wrong! Doppler City, Repliforce's Rebellion, The Eurasia Colony Fall Incident, The Gate Rebellion, Red Alert's Uprising, and of course our so called 'safe' Next generation Reploids proved to be able to go maverick just as easily! Reploids have proven to be a threat against our survival time and again, yet we continue to ignore them. Well no more!" Corian's words were spoken, not softly as he used to but in a roar; echoing about the chamber, demanding to be heard.
"What do you propose Sir?" an inserted soldier asked him.
He had been brought in just to ask that one question.
"Reploids must die. Even the hunters."
The crowd who had been silent before broke into horrified chatter.
"General Corian you've gone insane!" President Alexander exclaimed.
"No I haven't. This is for our liberty and security. We must battle for our own individual rights and our own survival." He responded.
"You're using the words of Repliforce's former General? That seems low even for you." President Alexander snarled.
"Irony is it not? They attempted to destroy us and their words will be used to destroy them. I tire of this game Alexander. What have Reploids brought besides destruction and chaos? Nothing! The human population dwindles while Reploids multiply and mavericks are born in their wake. I am tired of seeing us bow to Reploids. I'm tired of hiding and I'm tired of dying. No more. The end of Reploids must come!" He shouted furiously.
At that Corian took a short bow before resuming his speech.
"I'm going to mobilize the Human army. We will be taking any armaments usable by Reploid combat corps. These include the Maverick Hunter arsenals. No longer shall the human military division of the Federation be known as the 'relief corps' but instead... We are the Human Liberation Army. We shall see humanity protected and the threat of Reploids... And the ensuing Mavericks brought to an end."
A reploid spoke angrily at that; interrupting the human's speech.
"We're already second class citizens, must you take our lives too?" The green and yellow reploid demanded; knowing his life was already forfeit.
A new generation Reploid.
"Guards seize him!"
Ladies and Gentleman I'm actually back with a nice 'new' project. I'm attempting to improve my writing skills and what better way than to look at a fic I did years ago and improve it; giving it the quality it deserves. That's right. I plan to rewrite ALL of the X legend Trilogy. I may also delete heroes and start a new BN fic or something instead...
