Megaman X: Renegade

Author's Note- Hello! This is my first fanfic on this site. I don't own the Megaman or Megaman X series; Capcom does. I own only a scant few characters in this story. Capcom also owns Megaman X, Zero, Dr. Cain, Dr. Light, and most others, as well as any references to Reploids, Mavericks, etc. Now without further audieu…

Chapter One: The Awakening

Life…

For the first time in years, Megaman X felt life flow through his body. He stretched his arms, trying to relieve himself of the heaviness of sleep. In this process, he looked at the X Buster that was attached to his left arm. He sighed. The X Buster, although a great tool for fight evil, was sometimes a burden to him. X wished that he could live a normal life, but he reckoned that was impossible. The world needed a champion.

As X became more active, he began to remember more. He had sealed himself in his Hibernation Chamber so he would be prepared to defend the world from evil if it ever emerged again. Moving over to a computer, he pressed several keys.
"Hello, X." A hologram of Doctor Thomas Xavier Light appeared to comfort X. Before he had died, Light had programmed a computer with his personality. For X, it was the only link he had with his creator.

"Hello, father." X replied. "How long have I been asleep?"
"You slept for 15 years, X." Dr. Light told him. "I'm afraid that something terrible is happening since you are awake."
X rubbed his eyes. "Is that so?" He asked. "Well, I must get going. Goodbye, father!"
"Goodbye, my son." The hologram said as it gently faded away.

X's Hibernation Chamber led him into a Hovertrain Station. The fierce sound of the train whistles caused X, who still hadn't completely recovered his senses, to wince in pain. He looked around to get a greater bearing on the situation.
He was at the middle of the Station. Several people, whether reploids or humans, walked into the trains in an obvious hurry. At the end of the station sat a cashier in a ticket booth.
"Hello, sir." X said politely. "Can you tell me how to get to Doctor Cain's laboratory from here?"

"Hold on for a minute, sir." The cashier said, reading a magazine.
X waited for a few more minutes. "Sir, could you please tell me…"
"In a minute, sir!" The cashier snapped, looking at X. "Now what…"
Upon seeing X, the cashier froze and turned as white as a ghost. He yelled and ran off.

What was that all about? X thought to himself. He picked up the magazine the cashier

had left and read it to see what was going on.

"Proto City has been attacked by a mysterious Maverick. He has caused millions of dollars in property damage and killed hundreds of people in this city. One of our best Maverick Hunters, Zero, has been dispatched to take care of this mysterious Maverick.

All citizens are advised to be on the lookout for a Reploid in blue armor, carrying a Buster Gun attached to his left hand…"
X dropped the magazine in shock. He was the Maverick it described!
