Flamma Wies
A/N: The title of this strange little fic comes from Model F's password in Megaman ZX. It means "Flame's Power" in mixed-up Latin. Kudos and (::)E-cookies(::) if you recognized it before I told you! Please leave a review after reading, because I'm pretty sure this can be improved. Of course, a simple "Good job!" will make my day, too!
Disclaimer (holds true for all chapters): I hardly own my OC(s) in this story. Everything belongs to Inti Creates, Capcom, and anyone else with a hand in making the Megaman ZX series.
Prologue: A Weird Story
Or: What? We Have a Plot?
My name's Alice. My story is pretty unusual, even for the rest of the content you'll probably find on this site (fanfiction dot net; if you found me anywhere else, tell mysteriousguy898, quick!).
I was a fairly normal Mega-fan, having bought Megaman ZX Advent just today. I punished the stages with practiced ease, clearing up to the Oil Field in what I assume was the record time, but probably wasn't. The boss was Atlas, the Flame Mega Man.
As I fought, something weird happened. I was doing well, but every hit I landed on Atlas exacerbated a pounding headache that I'd become aware of when the fight began. It was like I was feeling Atlas' pain, which was ridiculous.
First, Atlas was a video game character. Fictional. Made up. Second, I was playing as Grey, on the other end of the fight.
As I won, my headache was actually causing my eyes to tear up. Onscreen, Atlas delivered her lines and warped out. As Grey screamed unexpectedly from some side effect of copying Atlas' DNA, a splitting pain wracked my body. I screamed and passed out.
