Sooo… This is my first fanfic, taking place a few months after Albert was defeated and based off the extended ending of the ZXA game. It stars my own OC's, which you can find pictures of at http:/ zodiacspell1224 . deviantart . com/#/d2xy4y6

This is not the typical ZX fanfic, there aren't new biometals, only new reploids/megamen. Old character will reappear, advising the main character, Rash, in his adventure.

The storyline will be like that of a Zx game, but I'm gonna make it as original as I can!

Disclaimer: Megaman and its character belong to Capcom. Though this storyline, plot, and any character you don't recognize or listed on my deviantArt account belong to me! Steal and you're dead!

Megaman ZX: The Master Experiment

Prologue

"A..wake… Awake… Awaken…"

Metallic green eyes fluttered open in dazed confusion, as what sounded like metal cuffs unlocked.

"E…ape… Esc..pe… Escape…"

Green eyes then it up, with numbers and data flying behind them as the reploid's data was rewritten."

"Sur..ive… Surv..ve…Survive!"

A strangled gasp escaped the reploid as he sat up in shock. A blinking cursor filled is vision, as a systems diagnostic flitted to life on his internal systems monitor.

STATUS: ACTIVE

ALL SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL

CYBER ECHO PATCH INSTALLED

DESIGNATION PROTOTYPE R1 ONLINE

'R1' shook his head, causing the words to be wiped from his vision. "W-What?" he asked, "Where am I?"

Taking in his surrounding, he observed he was sitting on a metal work table in what appeared to be a large, pristine, and high tech laboratory, illuminated by bright white fluorescent lights. Suddenly, a monitor behind him buzzed to life with a burst of static.

"BZZT… Awaken. Escape. Survive. For you are a Megaman. And the war is about to begin…"

The wall next to the monitor began to shift, revealing two strange metal items hanging within a hidden compartment.

"Woah," R1 gasped, heading towards the newly revealed tech.

"Take this R Sword and replicate Zx Saber," said the static voice, " and run."

"What?" R1 asked turning to the screen, as suddenly the lights flicked off and a blaring siren came over hidden speakers.

"SECURITY BREACHED. INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDER ALERT. ALL PERSONNEL PREPARE YOURSELVES. I REPEAT, SECURITY HAS BEEN BREACHED."

The monitor flicked off leaving R1 standing in the dim red light of the active alarm, frantically looking around for guidance from no one. He sighed, resigned. "I guess I'll run then," he said, grasping both the R sword and the Zx Saber, and heading towards the first door he saw. He didn't even see the red eyes blink to life behind him, nor hear the whirr of gears as a mechanaloid activated as he left the room.

~ZXME~

As he left the lab, R1 was greeted with the cool breeze of open air and the night sky. It seemed the laboratory was actually party of a disjointed research campus, with each separate building conducting their own individual experiments. The sound of boots rushing in his direction suddenly reached his ears. Panicking, he ran and hid behind the first thing he saw, a battered old jeep. The boots rushed passed, with robotic voices shouting out directions.

"The East Gate has been compromised. All personnel are to head there for support. Go! Go! Go!"

Peering over the front of the car, R1 saw a small group of purple metal soldiers rushing past. The soldiers were obviously a mass produced model of security droids, each uniform and unthinking, taking command from another security droid only distinguishable by the fact that it was painted a striking military green. As the droids left, R1 came out from behind the jeep and activated his two swords, one a pale red, the other a soft green. Cautiously, looked around, then began to follow in the direction of the security group, as he had no idea where a possible exist would be located, and if the East Gate had been breached…

A movement above him suddenly caught his eye. A blue figure was on the roof, carrying a large sword type looking weapon. With short brown hair hanging over a visor shielding his identity, the figure peered down at R1, who took a fighting stance and prepared to defend himself. However, in a flash, the figure was gone, leaving R1 stunned.

"INTRUDER LOCATED," a mechanical voice shouted from behind him. And suddenly R1 was surrounded by military droids.

"Dang it!," swore the reploid, bringing up his sabers once again. I don't even know how to fight!

DEFENSE PROGRAMS INSTALLED. ATTACK SEQUENCES INITIALIZED. COMBAT MODE NOW ENGAGED.

The words flickered across his vision, and R1 gasped as new information flooded his mind. Now he could fight. Adopting a serious expression, he stared down his foes. "This is going to get messy."

With that, R1 took off, dashing towards the closest security droid and slashing him with his Z-Saber. He cut the droid neatly in half. The droids began to flash to life, swarming the lone reploid. Spinning around, R1 took his Zx Saber and swung it around in a wide circle, taking down multiple foes. He face where he though led to the East Gate, and began clearing a path, slicing foes with slashes from both his Zx Saber and R Sword. Weaving left and right, he dodged plasma bullets from behind, having some wayward security roids hit by friendly fire. Gathering energy in the Zx Saber, he switched it into blaster mode, and unleashed a charged double plasma shot behind him, wiping out the rest of the drones. Smirking in satisfaction, he flicked the blaster back into a saber and continued running.

Eventually, R1 reached the East Gate, stopping in surprise at the sight before him. Mechanical bodies littered the floor, all remnants of the destroyed "Purpleroid" guard group he had seen earlier. They were torn to pieces and singed by what appeared to be plasma bursts that rivaled the power, no exceeded, that of his Zx buster. What could have done this?

He didn't get to think any more of the situation, for suddenly the building behind him exploded, revealing a huge mechanaloid. The mechanaloid's appeareance was laughable, big and square, with yellow button eyes and a red blinking antennae sticking up from its cube of a head. It wouldn't have looked like much of a threat, all shiny and cute, if it weren't for the fact that it was 20 feet tall. The thing's eyes shifted from yellow to orange as it identified R1 as a target.

WARNING

The word blared in R1's head as he scarcely dodged a blow from the giant machine. It was fast for its size, and its big, boxy fists looked like they could do quite a lot of damage. Its one punch had left a square crater in the ground.

Damn, thought R1, I've got my work cut out for me!

The machine threw another blow, which R1 again dodged, though this time the smaller reploid struck back, slashing at the machine's arm while it was still close to the ground. He was surprised, however by the fact that his sabers did minimal damage. Blinking, he jumped back as the machine swung its other arm at him. Taking a breath, he calmed himself. He needed to think. Dashing, he analyzed his opponent, occasionally landing slashes on it when the opportunity arose. Short box-like arms that extended during attack in straight lines, a wide box like chest, and short stubby legs…

R1's eyes twinkled as he saw a weakness in his foe's design. The Boxroid's arms only extended straight to attack, leaving his chest area defenseless! Dashing up close, R1 jumped up and angled his Zx Saber to plunge into the machine's chest.

The chest opened up to reveal a huge blaster canon.

It fired, bathing R1 in a blue light and sending him to the ground.

DAMAGE CRITICAL. RETREAT ADVISED

R1 ignored the words. The blast had left him with armor eroded from the power of the attack. His body was sparking all over, as he struggled to his feet.

This looked like the end.

The Mechanaloid raised its fist and prepared to strike. R1 closed his eyes, not wanting to have the image of the beast before him be the last thing he saw.

Two charged plasma bursts crashed through the creature's chest. It fell to the ground and exploded.

Opening his eyes, and weakly getting to his feet, R1 looked towards the launcher of the attack, seeing a blue clad figure, brandishing a buster before him. He took a step toward the figure in thanks, before blacking out and falling to the floor once again.

End of Chapter 1

A/N: So what did you think? Reviews are love, but I'll take criticism. I know it starts out a bit like Grey's story, but It'll get better, I promise. If there's any grammar/spelling errors, I apologize. I ain't got no beta ;P Btw, R1 will get a name. He's rash from my website. Check it out, 'cause I'm not gonna do a whole lot of character description. And if you have a deviantArt account, fave me?

REVIEW OR ELSE THERE WILL NOT BE A ZX3!
