This is a story involving the MEGAMAN X series. I wrote this story because I always enjoyed the X series and I've played and beat the whole megaman x series so I hope you enjoy and thank you for reading. (This is my first Megaman X fanfic)
MEGAMAN X: SHADOWS CHAPTER 1: FIRST MISSION SETTING: (After Megaman X7.) Axl helped in the destruction of Sigma and peace was restored for a little while. X was exhausted after the fight and knew that without Axl's help they probably would have been turned to scrap. X didn't want to admit it but Axl did have competent fighting abilities. After a year of training Axl had finally and officially became a Maverick Hunter. Axl is getting ready to take on his very first mission solo!
Alia: Okay Axl, here's your first mission: Investigate the Inori Mountains and free the miner reploids who are held hostage and trapped there.
Axl: Okay! I'm ready to get this party started!
Alia: There are reports of many mining machines and things and Bullseye Driller going maverick. Save as many reploids you can and if Bullseye Driller has gone maverick then subdue him.
Axl: Gotcha! (With that Axl stepped into a teleporter and Alia beamed him outside of the mountain's side's mining area.)
Alia: Think he'll be okay X? I don't think this should have been the right mission to give him. I mean he just started. (X is still skeptical about having this teenager in as a maverick hunter)
X: I think he'll be okay, He's had enough training in all kinds of different mission scenarios from battle to bodyguard missions. And he received on-the-job training from our battle with Red Alert and then he had to fight and destroy his own old friends. (Zero comes in and adds to X's comments)
Zero: Yeah, if you are able to destroy even your own friends because they went maverick then your able to fight under just about anything. (X and Alia look at Zero kinda insulted)
Alia: Zero!
Zero: I, I'm sorry but that is the truth! Remember Vile!? Hell even Sigma! And other Pro-maverick hunters we lost? (While X and Alia think dishearteningly about it, let's switch to Axl. I know he's waiting for us to see his first mission.)
BACK TO AXL IN INORI MOUNTAIN MINES
Axl looks at the mountain sides and remembers his training and his experience while in Red Alert. Now was the chance to put his cumulative experiences to the test. With his pistols in hand he charges into the mines. He started blasting a couple of maverick reploids and machinery while dodging the rocks and materials thrown at him. After immobilizing them with utter ease he takes an elevator to go deeper down. However, mechanioid spiders are on the walls (used to disolve rocks with strong acid) started to spit acid at him. He again shoots them off the walls while doing acrobatic evasive moves. He looks around cautiously because he knows that on an elavator he's a sitting duck. After what seemed like forever he reached the bottom and saw a long tunnel going forward.
???: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! Help!!!!
Axl: Oh no!! (he runs down through the giant tunnel and finds a couple of reploid miners being attacked by a giant mechaniod used for creating giant tunnels like the one he was in. It was shaped like a mini tank with drills on all four sides...mean lookin drills.) Run! Over here hurry!
As the miners run behind Axl,he beamed them to HQ and began to pelt the mechaniod with a wave of shots. It then charged him and rammed into the wall but Axl jumped above and on it. He started to shoot at it from all angles because it was too slow to turn and face him. After he started to taunt it a bit, the mechaniod began to shoot dynamite at him.
Axl: Oh S!!
He ducked and dodged and when he ran outta room, wall kicked up to the ceiling. Bad move. The blast went above him and rocks began to rain down on the battle. He took cover in another tunnel and watched as the mechanoid began to crumble under the large rocks. After the avalanche of rocks. Alia beeped him.
Alia: Are you okay! Axl are you there! Answer me!
Axl: I'm alright, just finished off a digging mechanoid and rescued a few of the miners as well. (says with pride over what he did)
Alia: Yes the miners are here safe and sound but what about... Axl! I'm getting a very strong reading extremely close to you!
Just then Axl felt an earthquake and the mechanoid appeared at the mouth of the caved-in battlefield. It started up it's drills and was ready to scewer Axl in the long multi-layered tunnel!
Axl: Oh hell naw!
He starts to run as fast as he can down the shaft.
Alia: Axl listen to me! Some of the passageways are dead ends!
Axl: You gotta be f kidding me!!
Alia: I'll guide you to another cylinder (big room) okay!!
By now Zero is laughing his ass off as Axl runs for his freaking life and X and Alia are rather worried and on their toes. As Alia directs Axl through tunnels and shafts and nearly blocked passageways, Axl attempts to slow it down by grabbing any visible dynamite, lighting and throwing them at the enraged mechanoid. No dice. She directed and he ran in said direction when eventually he reached a dead end.
Axl: I don't see a passageway!!!
Alia: What!! My radar says there is one! Look around quickly!
As Axl looks around he spots a door above, in the ceiling! He started taking the ladder but the mechanoid launched a bomb to destroy the ladder.
Axl: NOOOOOOOO!!
A quick revelation though remedied the situation and he simply wall kicked up to the door. After getting in he heard no activity below him and rested for a bit and Alia beeped him again.
Alia: Are you okay Axl?
Axl: Yeah...I'm...okay...for now.
Alia: You should be fine now, that mechanoid can't dig upwards so I'll send Zero over to take care of it.
Zero is heard in the background screaming in protest and many swears are heard. Then a buster shot is heard then silence.
Alia: Axl start searching for the rest of the miners and for Bullseye. I'm not geting a reading from anything else right now.
After resting up Axl used a E-Bottle to recover from his injuries and continue onward. He didn't encounter any more mavericks or mechanoids. In fact they were already destroyed. He was getting ready to call Alia but he saw a door that Bullseye Driller, the leader of the area was in. He readied his pistols took a deep breath and kicked the door in. He saw what he truly didn't expect to see however. Bullseye Driller was sliced to pieces and was nothing but scrap. Axl lookedlike he had seen a ghost.
Axl: What? Wh,wh,what happened! (Alia beeped in)
Alia: What happened Axl?
Axl: Someone has already taken out Bullseye Driller!
Alia: What!? Really!?...Well that would explain why I didn't get anymore readings after you escaped from the mechanoid. If you can find the other miners then continue your investigation.
He did what he was told and walked to the back room where the hostages were supposed to be held. The door started to open. Axl held his guns forward.
???: What! Who are you! Another Maverick!?
The mysterious person was named Kojiro, (my avator and character in the story) he wore a red kimono with a dragon spiraling around it and two long scars on the sides of his neck, and had long red hair shaped like a bird and to top it off two katanas at his side, one red another black. He held the hilt of his katana as he asked his question. Axl looks behind him and saw the hostages. He then realized that this mysterious person is human.
Axl: Huh, your human?
Kojiro: SO what if I am? I'll still destroy you if you plan to hurt these reploids!
Axl lowers his weapons.
Axl: So you destroyed Bullseye Driller and freed the hostages?
Kojiro:...
Axl: Heh, thanks, I'm Axl, a rookie maverick hunter.
With that Kojiro drops his battle ready stance.
Kojiro: So your not maverick? Thank goodness! I don't know what I'd do if I had to protect these hostages and fight another maverick now.
He moves outta the way and the hostages leave the cell.
Axl: I've been sent on a rescue mission and was supposed to investigate the area.
As Axl beams the rest of the hostages out of the area and to HQ for treatment. Kojiro scouts the area for any more mavericks.
Axl: I wouldn't go back that way if I were you. Another Maverick Hunter is taking care of a giant mechanoid down there.
Kojiro: Oh okay.
Axl examines the human and wonders if he really was capable of destroying Bullseye. He heard that Bullseye is heavily guarded and wouldn't have been an easy opponent. So he decided to ask.
Axl: Um...uh mister...
Kojiro: The name's Kojiro Celadon Hiragumi. Friends call me Koj or Koji.
Axl: Oh yeah, long name, my name is simply Axl. I was wondering...(looks at Bullseye deactivated and mantled body.) DId you really do that?
Koj: Yeah, he wasn't going to back down and said he'd kill them if I didn't leave. So I engaged him, got behind him kicked him at the entrance door to get him away from the hostages and took him out with my Criss-Cross attack. Cut him in nine clean spilts. (An attack involving two blades, one swung left another right then flipping or turning to cut straight down... think of a Tic-tac-toe board with two swings)
Axl: But how was that possible? He weighs about three tons and your just a human! I sorry but I find that rather hard to believe.
Koj:... Well about that...
Axl: If you don't mind I think I may have to ask you to disarm and come with me to HQ. In situations like this we have to make sure of anything suspicious. (points his gun towards Koj)
Koj looks at him, he was serious but he also sensed a little fear. He could easily destroy the young hunter but he's not a murderer abusing his powers. Before he could say anything Alia started to beep Axl.
Alia: Axl are you there? Did you find out anything?
Axl: ... (looks at his transmitter and back at Koj)
Koj: okay, I've no problems. (drops his two katanas and put his hands on the back of his head.)
Alia: Axl! Are you there? Answer me!
Axl: I'm here Alia, I found the person reponsible for Bullseye's termination and I'm bringing him in! (begins to handcuff Koj, picked up his katanas and started to pat him down L.A.P.D stlye) Sorry dude but I gotta do this. I'm sure that if you explain everything as is then you'll be out in no time at all. I just want to ask some questions that's all, I'll guarentee that myself.
Koj: No problem Axl, we all have our jobs. You have yours...and I have mine.
With that Axl teleported the both of them to HQ and thus began a new chapter in reploid and human history
To be continued...
Kojiro: Well that's it first chapter of this fanfic complete. Next chapter: The powers of Kojiro are revealed and his mission of a new but omnious threat that was working behind the shadows ever since the first Megaman X is also revealed.
