Player's p.o.v.

My name is Marianne, and I'm a fangirl. You name it, Mario, Sonic, MegaMan, I loved pretty much anything. Today's topic is MegaMan.

The first thing Megaman related I was introduced to was X7, as sad as that is. But, other than terrible voice acting, horrible gameplay, and an extremely bland plot, there was something interesting about it.

So I got into MegaMan, I perfered the X series mainly becaue it had a more serious tone than the classic series. (I liked the original though)

I was really disapointed when they decided to end the series off at X8, they had such a good cliff hanger, too. Why had they decided to stop? Was it because the previous two games were so bad? X8 was fucking awesome!

However, it wasn't until recently that I descovered why. X9 was something humans couldn't handle.

I found a copy of a Wii U game out in my trash can, and to my shock it was Megaman X9! My heart was pounding.

"I thought they ended the series!"

I quickly popped it in and awaited the adventure. The Anime cut scenes are back!

Axl's p.o.v.

My head was aching, and my eyes were throbbing. I heard a voice slip through my head, "My new vessle..."

I held my head in pain. I don't know why, but this voice angered me.

"Go, this virus isn't going to spred itself."

I woke up, but I didn't wake myself up. It was as if someone dumped water on me, but no one was there.

"What happened? I remember we defeated Sigma and Lumine, then what? ... That's right... Lumine attacked me... I must've been under repairs."

No one was in the room but me. Then I heard a clanking noise, and I looked up. Right above my head was a spider-like robot. I quickly pulled out my gun and shot it down.

I got up and realized they were all in front of me. I smirked.

"Aw yeah! Now this is a wake up call!

"So I'm playing as Axl? I thought I'd be playing as X in the beginning. This isn't going to be like X7 is it?"

I didn't mind playing as Axl, though. If I'm honest, he's my favorite character. (Not in X7) I always thought he was the cutest of the trio, and he's fun to play. (Not in X7) One thing confused me, though. His voice was the same as it was in X8. Why didn't they change the voice acting? Then I remembered his X7 voice, and decided it was for the best.

I moved him forward, keeping my thumb on the fire button.

I saw a weird box next to me, which I assumed was a Dr. Light capsule.

I sighed.

"I'm gonna have to replay this level..."

Right as I said that, a blue robot hopped down from the ceiling.

X's p.o.v.

My eyes widened at the shock of seeing my friend here.

"Axl!? What're you doing here!? I thought you were under repairs!"

"That's what I'd like to know. Where are we?"

"Cyborg Mansion. It's being overflowed my Mavericks."

"Well, I don't know how I'm here, but I seem to be repaired. Mind if I help?"

"Careful. I don't know know how long your body'll hold out."

I looked behind him, and noticed a capsule. I knew just from looking at it that it belonged to my creator, Dr. Light. How many of these did he build?

I walked up to it, activating the capsule.

"X, I feared something like this might happen some day, so I've prepared some parts for you. Step into this capsule, and you'll obtain the leg parts. They'll give you the ability to walk on walls. I hope this will be the last time we have to use weapons of war."

I stepped into the capsule and let my legs be equipped with black and blue armor. It was weird, usually the armor's white.

I shrugged it off and stepped out of the capsule. I sighed and looked down. How long is this going to last?

I ran foward, and for some reason I was spamming my Mega Buster. Why was I spamming my Mega Buster? Was I just paranoid?

Player's p.o.v.

I spammed the X buster, mainly because I wanted to kill any robots that came my way immediately. I noticed X also had his X8 voice, but I wasn't complaining, he never sounded better.

One thing that really bugged me was that Axl was still running with me. When robots appeared on screne, he shot them down if I couldn't.

"Aw, cool, is this multiplayer?"

I pressed the B button, and I switched to Axl. Right after I did that, the reploids stopped and Axl's text box appeared.

"X, I have the strangest feeling we're being watched."

"Yeah, I was about to say..."

"What?" I whispered. "Someone's watching them?"

The text box closed, and I continued to play.

After about a minute of blowing up robots, my man Zero came up to us.

Zero's p.o.v.

"I've taken out all the Mavericks on the second floor."

"Good. Let's get out of here."

"Aw, there was barely any action for me."

"Axl!? I thought you were under repairs."

"I just sorta woke up, and... here I am."

Before I could say anything, the floor started to shake. A giant macanaloid burst from the ground with its giant drill.

"... Axl, can you fight?" I asked.

"Heh! Who do you think you're asking?"

The macanaloid went down in a few slashes from my saber, and a few shots from X and Axl. After we defeated it, I could've sworn I heard the cheering of a female in the distance. I turned my head in the direction I heard it.

"That's all of them," X said, snapping me out of my reflections. "Let's start heading back to ba-"

The floor collapsed below us.

Player's p.o.v.

"Wait, we're still going? How long is this tutorial level!?"

An Anime cut scene triggered. I squeeled, still excited that they brought these back.

"Agh...," Axl moaned, holding his head. "How far did we fall?"

"Uh, I'd say about 10 km," Zero said, looking up. "What a weak floor."

"Darn, let's see if we can find a way ou- Whoah!"
