Hello everybody, inspiration struck me earlier and I just HAD to find an outlet for it, so here it is! Also, I do not own any of the Mega Man game series, nor do I own any characters associated with it.
The Chosen of Destruction
Grand Nuage
It was the year 24XX and four months ago, the two Mega Men Vent and Aile had defeated the head of Slither Inc., Serpent. There were rumors flying around the Grand Nuage about the two Chosen Ones having found a mysterious Biometal in Area N and that it was based off of some kind of psychotic monster.
Naturally, the siblings strongly denied everything except that they had indeed found it in Area N.
But still, every time someone would ask them to show what this new Biometal looked like when they Megamerged with it, they'd get an answer like "Sorry, I don't have the time to show off at the moment." Or something along those lines, and it was raising the suspicions of more than one Guardian. In fact, Prairie herself was starting to wonder just why Vent and Aile didn't want anyone to see them while Megamerged with the latest addition to their collection of floating paperweights.
That fact that they refused to tell anyone what its name was didn't help either.
Right now, it was 10:03 PM and everyone was asleep, the airship set to Autopilot.
Vent and Aile's Dreams
Vent and Aile were floating through a void, both somehow not only knowing they were dreaming, but that they were sharing a dream.
"Vent, I can understand having a lucid dream on my own, but us sharing one?" Aile said worriedly.
Before her brother could say something, the void shattered and they found themselves standing in Area N, in the same room that they'd fought that strange and, admittedly frightening, data.
"Pathetic humans, you who think that you can wield my power?!" An outraged voice boomed and echoed in the crumbling room as rocks feel from the ceiling and pale pink energy shot up from the ground in front of them.
Vent took a step backwards and Aile nearly fell down when the voice spoke and they both backed up as far as they could when rocks started falling and the appearance glowing pink spikes reminiscent of... No, they reminded themselves, they wouldn't think about it.
"Am I nothing but a tool to you? He thought of me that way, I thought I broke free of him, but he had one last trick to take care of me, a bomb! Will you throw me away like garbage when I'm no longer of any use to you? Or perhaps you'll let me do as I please- Oh wait; I can't do as I please because I'm a floating hunk of metal!" The voice ranted bitterly.
The two Chosen Ones eventually backed up against a wall, and stood petrified as they heard the venom in the voice.
"No answer? Very well then, I have mine now. You thought you could control me, but I will control you."
Vent and Aile screamed as the pale pink energy spiked up from the ground and tore through them, the last words they heard in that dream-
"Ware wa meshia nari!"
Reality
Vent and Aile had screamed in reality too, and a Guardian by the name of Bar came in their room to see what happened, only to stop in surprise and not a little fear at what he saw when he turned the lights on; the newest Biometal was floating over the two Chosen Ones, its optics glowing a demonic red, Models Z, H, L, F, and P were scattered on the floor with their optics dim and Model X was trapped within a miniature cyclone of pale pink energy that was steadily drawing closer to the insane floating paperweight.
Suddenly, two dark crimson tendrils lashed out from the unnamed Biometal and wrapped themselves around Vent and Aile, lifting them out of their beds and pulling them into the air next to the terrifying Biometal. In a whirlwind of darkness that pulled Model X into the maelstrom of scarlet and pink, a mad disembodied cackling could be heard and the two Chosen Ones screamed again, their cries mixing with the insane laughter to create a terrifying howling.
In a flash of crimson, Vent and Aile were set back on the floor, only they were Megamerged. It looked like the Model ZX armor, but with darker colors. They looked at him, their expressions blank and their eyes changing from their usual bright emerald green to a dull crimson and he knew, he might be looking at their bodies, but they weren't in control.
They dashed towards Bar with sabers in hand and he jumped backwards out into the hallway, his trained reflexes the only thing that kept him from being decapitated. Before he had a chance to react, they were dashing towards the Transerver room.
"Attention everyone, Vent and Aile have been taken over by a hostile Biometal and are on their way towards the Transerver room, I repeat, Vent and Aile have been taken over by a hostile Biometal and are on their way to the Transerver room!" He shouted through his communicator, doing his best not to panic.
If the Biometal possessing the Guardians' resident Mega Men noticed the slight panicked announcement, as it surely must have, it gave it no heed. Arriving at its first destination, the Biometal sent a signal to the Transervers, stepping onto the platform, it was transported away.
Tulip was the first operator to get to her console, with the Guardians' commander Prairie not far behind.
"Where did they go, Tulip?" Prairie asked anxiously.
"They just arrived in Area A, Commander." Tulip answered.
Area A
A girl, only ten years and wearing a well-worn bodysuit with dark red Capri pants and a black vest wandered through the dark forest, a brief flash catching her attention. Curious, she ran as fast as the sudden need for stealth she felt allowed and hid behind a bush.
The possessed Chosen Ones took three steps forwards, before collapsing on the ground in a heap, demerging and softly groaning, Model X landing on the ground nearby, it dulled optics a clear indicator that it was unconscious.
"That took *kzt* too much energy, it seems that *kzt* I'll never *kzt* be free..." A second Biometal, one that had managed to float towards the bush that the girl was hiding behind, spoke before beginning to go into sleep mode. "ESTIMATED TIME BEFORE REAWKENING: TWO YEARS AND EIGHT MONTHS. UNABLE TO DETERMINE EXACT TIMEFRAME. SYSTEM SHUTDOWN COMMENCING." It droned, its personality the first thing to go offline.
The girl quickly stepped forwards, scooping the no-longer-floating paperweight off of the ground before sprinting off into the night.
The rescue teams, along with no less than four backup squads arrived to see Vent, Aile and Model X laying on the ground, unconscious, the mysterious Biometal that had possessed them nowhere in sight.
This all happened two years and eight months ago, in that time a lot had happened. Master Albert of the Sage Trinity had betrayed everyone and created the Game of Destiny, where Mega Men fight each other for dominance, he also tried to use the Ouroboros to 'reset the world'. Fortunately, the two Mega Men he'd had as backup, a human girl named Ashe, a reploid boy named Grey and the Biometal Model A, had come together and out a stop to his insane plan, meeting Vent and Aile in the process.
Model Z had held back the four Mega Men Aeolus, Thetis, Atlas and Siarnaq and was thought to be destroyed when Ouroboros fell, Ashe and Grey had gone to the wreckage and come back with good and bad news; the good news being that they brought back Model Z and the bad news being that all four of the 'Evil Mega Men' had escaped.
Vent and Aile are still haunted to this day by that terrible night when the Biometal they found in Area N possessed them and fled, disappearing in Area A.
Meanwhile, in Area I...
In the darkness, two lights flicker on, twin dots of azure amidst a sea of black. Footsteps are heard and a thirteen-year-old girl eagerly walks up the object on a nearby table.
"Ah, so you're awake at last," She states, sounding much calmer than she really is, "My name is Dana."
An overhead light blinks a couple times, then shines down on the table, illuminating a Biometal shaped like the Greek letter Omega.
"I suppose that, seeing as I'm not locked up, I might as well tell you who I am," The Biometal responds with a hint of mockery, "My name is Model O."
