AGAIN THIS TAKES PLACE BEFORE MEGAMAN X4
BUT DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM THE GAME MEGAMAN X4
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED…NOW ON WITH THE STORY
Life. Humans, reploids, animals, all of Earth is alive. All of Earth is in peace, but we are but in the eye of the storm.
War. Peace. Death. Love.
All these things relate to Earth and the perils of the humans and reploids.
I created reploids to help humans, but it seems that all I have done is made it harder for us to live in peace.
Some humans want to end the fighting and live together with reploids in peace…others want the reploid race destroyed.
Humans created reploids, and yet the reploids would turn on their creators.
Each night I dwell upon these thoughts.
Is it my fault that our world will never know peace?
Am I responsible for all the human and reploid lives lost in the fighting?
I hope that one day I can have the chance to change the world for the better and see reploids and humans living together in harmony.
But, as the fighting continues, I seem to think that I shall not live to see that day. But I have those who would follow in my footsteps and cut a path for the world to follow for peace and harmony with the Earth.
Memoir of Dr. Cain
Page 5:
Chapter 1: Capsules in Time
Dr. Cain sat in his office of the Maverick Hunter HQ. All around him where stacks of paper that he had unfiled and read over thousands of times.
Dr. Cain, who was usual bright and cheery was anything but. He looked as though he had not slept in weeks, or eaten. He had been too absorbed in finding the file he was searching for.
I must find that file……or…
----------------------------------------------------------------------
X and Zero, two of the Maverick Hunters best, sat in the cafeteria debating if they should go visit Dr. Cain.
"You know how the doctor gets when he's angry! I'd rather not be around when that happens!" Zero said.
"Why? Are you scared that you'll get beat up by him again?"
"I did not get beat up!" Zero debated. "I was merely…out of my element."
"Call it what you will, you lost to Dr. Cain in a fight."
"Yes. In a gunfight! You know I'm better with swords!"
X laughed and stood up. "Well I'm going to go take him his lunch, or he won't eat again. He did the same thing last time…"
When X trailed off a flicker of pain crossed his face.
"What last time?" Zero asked confused.
X remained in his adamant stage frozen in what seemed to be a blur of memories.
Zero was running after Vile. X had fought with Zero against Vile, but Vile had used a bomb to break the floor under X sending him to the bottom of the warehouse.
X ran as fast as he could to reach Vile and help Zero, but he was too late.
X threw open the doors to see Zero lying on the ground lifeless.
"ZERO!" X yelled as he ran to his fallen friend.
Vile stood over Zero laughing.
"I told you X. You and your little toys are nothing to me. Zero didn't even scratch my armor."
"Grrr! Vile you bastard!" X yelled as he ran at Vile.
X stopped as he got close to Vile.
Vile's face was filled with fear. X tried to hit him, but he couldn't. The fear he saw then was the same as when the mecanaloids had went wild in the city and grabbed a fellow hunter as a shield. X couldn't shoot then and he couldn't shoot now.
X was filled with fear that day, and anytime he thought about it he was frozen with more fear.
Zero had almost died that day, and on that day Dr. Cain became very enraged at seeing Zero in that state. He ranted and raved at how X was supposed to help his fellow hunters, and how Vile had cheated. Dr. Cain wanted Vile brought in immediately.
Zero had to be repaired by Dr. Cain.
After the repair the doctor looked at X.
"So X, which one of you let Vile get away?"
"Me." Zero said. X was filled with shock and tried to protest. Zero lifted his hand and spoke in a calm clear voice.
"It was me Doctor…I just froze when I tried to kill Vile…I take full responsibility for his escape."
Dr. Cain looked between the two hunters. Zero held a certain hurt face, and X was still in shock.
"Alright…Zero…as punishment…you are to be on desk duty for a week. Now get out!"
X was lost in his memories when Zero snapped his fingers in his face.
"HEY! X!"
"WHAT!" X yelled as he was suddenly jolted out of his memories and back into his conscious state.
"What's wrong with you? You just kinda spaced out for a minute."
"Sorry…"
"So what was the last time you where talking about?"
"Huh?"
"The last time that Dr. Cain was this…fluxed."
"Oh…that was the time when you took the blame for when Vile escaped."
Zero twinged.
"Yeah…that was the worst week ever!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Cain sat in his office still rubbing his brow.
A large reploid in gold armor sat at the end of the table.
"…I don't know what to do…with everything that's been going on, all the mavericks and Sigma attacking again; I don't know if I can hold the Maverick Hunters together anymore."
"I'm sure you'll do fine Dr. Cain. Besides what slack you leave the Repliforce will pick up."
"Are you sure that you can do this General?" Dr. Cain asked as he lifted up his head to show just how tired he was.
"Doctor, you rest. Relax and Colonel and I will do what we can. The Maverick Hunters and the Repliforce can act together now."
Dr. Cain sighed.
"I'm not worried about acting together…I'm worried about other humans…they…some of them don't like the Maverick Hunters. And when the Repliforce joins together into a joined operation with the Maverick Hunters they may feel threatened. And we don't need to start a civil war!"
"Dr. Cain…as much as we hate to say it over and over. War is here, there is nothing we can do to prevent it. A war that stretches the entire globe is…inevitable."
Dr. Cain sighed again as he rubbed his brow again.
"How right you are General….how right you are…"
