AUTHOR'S NOTE : For the purposes of this fanfic,Paradigm City and Meridiana exist in the same world,
which means that Von Reichter began his experiments 20 years after the event that robbed people
of their memories.Bear with me on all this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROLOGUE :
Forty years ago,something happened . . .
What it was,no one could say,for those who survived lost their memories.Huge man-like machines
called Megadeuses emerged to wreak havoc.Afterwards,the Megadeuses vanished.
Twenty years later . . .
A man named Von Reichter began work on experiments of a dubious nature.One of the results was
the creation of beings called Cybers.Of the original 6000 cybers,one survived Von Reichter's purge
which wiped out the other 5999 Cybers.
TODAY :
A sleek black sedan was making its way across the streets of Paradigm City.The driver was a man
with black hair and handsome features dressed in a black suit.His name was Roger Smith.He was a
negotiator,the best Paradigm City had ever seen.As he drove,he suddenly noticed something that
caught his eye.A big brutish looking man with green skin,short blonde hair and dark markings around
his red eyes.
"Curious."Smith said to himself.
Parking his sedan,which he called the Griffin,Smith decided to follow the brute.Smith's quarry met
up with two other brutes,both identical to the first.Smith wondered if they were related somehow.
Making sure not to be seen,the negotiator followed them to an abandoned warehouse.Roger was
certainly curious about those three.Ever since he came into possession of the Megadeus he called the
Big O,his life was anything but boring.Now he was following three green ogres or whatever it was
they were.What Roger did not know was that they were called Fixed Ideas and that they were created
by a man called Von Reichter.
When Roger entered the warehouse,no trace of the brutes was found.Puzzled and a bit disappointed
by this,he began to look around.He found a map of a city called Meridiana.A city he had never heard
of before,a city he hardly thought existed . . . until now.But any thoughts of this mystery city had to
be set aside for now,so Roger took the map and looked around again.He found . . . little.Three bolts
too shiny and new to be part of the warehouse and a vial with a strange glowing green fluid but not
much else.Noticing a hole on the floor,Roger climbed down.He noticed a track leading down a tunnel,
where,he had no idea.If these brutes went through the tunnel,they were long gone by now,he had
decided.
Roger returned to his home,where R. Dorothy Wayneright was waiting for him.Her usual manner was
a blunt and sullen one,hardly surprising since she was really an android,a machine designed to
resemble a human female.Her black dress was Roger's idea,for he insisted that anyone who lived in
his household had to wear black.The red-haired,pale-skinned android looked at Roger with puzzlement.
"What happened,Roger?"Dorothy asked.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you,"Roger replied.He was still wondering how a city that he had
never heard of until this day fit into this particular puzzle.
"Norman,"Roger called out to his butler,Norman Burg,an elderly gentleman who wore a patch over
his left eye.
"May I assist you with anything,Master Roger?"He asked.
"Get the Big O ready.We may need it where we're going."
"Very well.Oh,incidentally,mr. Rosewater wants you to call him back."
Alex Rosewater,the head of the Paradigm Group,who was in charge of the city.Roger picked up the
telephone,wondering what it was that he wanted.
In Meridiana,two people were having lunch in a small cafe.One was a powerfully built blonde-haired
man named Lucas Amato,a teacher.His companion,who was also a teacher and in fact taught at the
same high school as Lucas,appeared to be a slim,black-haired,bespectacled man who went by the
name of Adrian Seidelman,but unknown to Lucas,was really a woman,or,more precisely,a creation
of Von Reichter's,a Cyber,the sixth and now remaning Cyber.Now he/she was staring away.
"Something wrong?"Lucas asked.
"It's nothing,"Adrian replied."Nothing at all."
The truth was Adrain/Cybersix felt he/she was being watched,which was not far from the truth.In a
dark alley near the cafe stood a man whose head was bandaged in such a way that only his eyes
and mouth were exposed.Once he was known as Michael Seebach,but these days he called himself
Schwartzewald.he glared at the people in the cafe,being careful not to be discovered.At the cafe,
Adrian/Cybersix was having second thoughts,but decided to keep them to him/herself.
Somewhere bneneath Meridiana,Jose,the petulant,child-like clone of Von Reichter was waiting
impatiently as the railway vehicle which had just stopped began to open its doors.Then three
hulking forms emerged,two of them carried a block-like object while the third followed.
"it's about time you brought it!"Jose bellowed."To think that you had to go to a worthless trash
heap like Paradigm City for this!"
Elsewhere in Meridiana,a flashily dressed blonde-haired man was surveying his new base of
operations.His name was Beck Gold and right now he was very pleased.All he had to do was deal
with the local criminal kingpin,hopefully cutting in on a piece of his action.Beck had managed to
find out about those three goons who made off with a valuable machine developed by the Paradigm
Group.It took him and his newly assembled gang (for his "family" was still behind bars back in
Paradigm City) days,but they had tracked the goons to a city they never even knew existed.Beck
of course saw this as an opportunity to strike it rich,away from Paradigm and away from 'that
crow guy' who gave him grief before,the crow guy being Roger Smith the negotiator.
Night fell on Meridiana,and a black clad woman wearing a cape and a hat was roaming the rooftops
with a black panther at her side.The woman was Cybersix.The panther was Data 7, who had the
brain of her childhood friend and brother Cyber 29.Suddenly,he began to growl.
"What is it?"Cybersix asked him.
She then noticed a man on a nearby rooftop.As the two aprroached him,he noticed them.
"Well,well.So this is the notorious Cybersix,eh?Allow me to introduce myself.You may call me
Schwartzewald."
Cybersix got a good look at his pointy bandaged head.Was he the one watching Lucas and me at
the cafe,she thought to herself.
"What brings you to Meridiana?"Cybersix asked.
"You'll find out soon enough,"Schwartzewald replied.He then began to laugh before climbing down the
building's ladders and disappearing.
"Why do I have this feeling that he'll be trouble?"She asked Data 7.
