I do not own Mega man X or Septerra core.
Septerra, A world made of seven continents called World Shells. All shells rotate around the central core and generate energy to keep the rotations stable. Every 100 years, the shells align and allow light to reach the core, allowing a being to commune with the creator. Every 560 years or so, the core activates and makes a portal for people to enter or leave Septerra.
X was strolling along in his armor, searching for some disturbance. People were freaking about some weird wolves. He had reached the Café where they had supposedly come from. He had his X buster primed and ready for action. He opened the door only to be hit by a Massive wolf. It was biological but it was trying to rip out his throat! He slammed his buster into the wolf's side and released his charging shot. The beast reeled in pain, but didn't die. X rolled away, "That is no normal wolf, it took a plasma shot at point blank range and is still alive! Looks like I need to switch tactics,"
X pulled out his saber and rushed in. He swept his saber down and cut the beast down. He hated to do it, but the thing had bit through his shoulder plate! He walked through the door only to find he had stepped through a blue light. He looked around to find a woman with a nasty looking rifle fending off three guys, with swords? X turned to see that what ever brought him to this place was gone. He ignored that and went to see what was going on.
Maya was dodging sword swings and firing round after round at her attackers. A swing grazed her shoulder and she dropped her beloved rifle. She watched as another swing was coming for her head. She suddenly felt someone slam into her side. Her eyes looked at her savior; he was about her height and wearing strange full body armor. "I don't know what is going on here, but three on one is never fair,"
X put the girl down and turned to the swordsmen, "Why are you attacking this woman?"
The leader stepped forward, "She is under arrest for smuggling weapons!"
X looked toward the woman; she had a look of desperation and shock. He turned back to the warriors, "If that were true, then when you disarmed her, you give her a chance to surrender, not try to split her head in two,"
"She was resisting arrest!"
X was becoming irritated, "You three have got to be the worse law enforcers I've ever met! A monkey could do better!"
A private lashed out only to take a small shot to the chest. The armor on the private exploded and he was sent into the pipeline behind him, unconscious. He repeated the process with the other two when they attacked.
Maya watched the whole thing unfold. This stranger was defending her. He kept looking back to her, as if contemplating the whole story. "Thank you for saving me, I'm Maya,"
X smiled, "Call me X, what was going on here?"
"My brother Tori has been selling weapons he finds out in the desert and junk piles. I came looking for him and found him in the middle of a deal. Then these guys show up,"
X nodded, he could tell if someone was lying. Maya wasn't, "Then I guess your brother has framed you, accident or not. Could you tell me where I am? I'm a little lost and have no clue where I am,"
Maya smiled, "Your at a pumping station, that way is Oasis, I can lead you there since I'm going there,"
X nodded and smiled. He followed her across the desert to the scrap city of Oasis. He marveled that people could build such a city from scrap metal. Two strange Robots stood at the entrance. X was going to get ready to fire but Maya stopped him. "They're harmless,"
A workbot stopped them from entering, "Sorry Maya, We have orders not to let you enter,"
"Yea, Mayor said don't let that crook enter, and stuff like that," the other said
X began to draw in energy, "You sure they are harmless?"
Maya nodded, "Mayor treats you like trash, Grubb is the one that built you,"
"Hey, she is right," Work bot one said.
"Yea, he treats us like robots!" number two said.
"We're sorry miss; we can no longer speak to you in official capacity. We're on strike!" One said.
"We want better pay," Two said.
He followed her to her uncle's home. The place was simple, but a home is a home. He sat on a crate and removed his helmet. An elderly man entered the main room. He was about Double's size. He was balding and what hair he had was snow white. "Maya, they think you're the smuggler!"
Maya looked down, "Its Tori, he's selling weapons from the junk piles,"
Uncle frowned, "It doesn't surprise me; his heart is ruled by coin instead of conscience," he looked over at X, "Who are you?"
X bowed, "I'm X, I helped Maya with her... pursuers with swords,"
Maya nodded, "He took each down with one shot each,"
Uncle raised an eyebrow, "I thought only Runner had that kind of firepower. But still, thank you for helping Maya,"
X nodded and sat down. He looked at his shoulder; he saw the teeth marks and sand. He inspected his shoulder closer; the armor took the damage. He let out a heavy sigh, "Stupid wolf, how am I going to fix this?" he grumbled.
Uncle looked it over, "Grubb could fix this, and Maya is heading that way anyway,"
X nodded and rotated his shoulder. He looked around and finally got a good look at Maya. She was about as tall as he was. She had long blue hair done in a ponytail. Her figure would drive even priests crazy. He thanked Dr. Light for making him a Reploid. He started to check his systems. He found sand in his E.A.S. and in his chest plate. He got up and walked to the door. Maya followed as he stepped outside and opened the plates around his legs and shook out the sand. He had about a half pound of sand in his frame. Maya giggled slightly, "Your armor wasn't designed for the desert. Was it?"
He laughed as the plates slammed closed. He stood up and jumped a little as sand fell from the cracks. The seals grew tighter as he switched systems for the desert. He smiled, "Actually it was designed for all terrain; I just wasn't ready to find myself in a desert saving a beautiful damsel in distress,"
Maya blushed slightly as X chuckled slightly. He walked back inside and grabbed his helmet, "Want to head out?"
X nodded and donned his helmet. The Greatest hunter knew when the portal closed he wasn't going back for a long time. He simply knew he had to rough it out here. He decided to help out Maya with her problem. He needed his shoulder fixed, and this Grubb person was the only person who might be able to. He followed Maya through the town until Mayor stopped them on the outskirts. "STOP THEM!"
"We cannot talk to you unless you're an official union representative,"
"We want better pay," the work bots said.
"I DON'T PAY YOU AT ALL YOU IDIOTS!"
X grabbed Maya and used his dash system to leave quickly. They had left the city and started the trek to Grubb's workshop. He listened to Maya's current problem, Chasing down Tori in Outlaw Canyon. He nodded and offered his help with the situation. She smiled brightly and thanked him. The 20 minute hike ended when they came to the workshop. Grubb smiled when he saw Maya. "Maya, what's up?"
"I need to get to Outlaw Canyon, Can you help me out?"
"Wow that is past the pumping station, I don't know..."
"Mayor is involved," X said.
"If it's against mayor, I'm with it. Runner can help,"
Said robot dog leapt up to Maya like an excited puppy. X chuckled, "Oh, Grubb, think you can fix something real quick?"
Grubb looked at X, "Who are you?"
"I'm X, a new friend of Maya,"
Maya explained the fight with the swordsmen, Grubb looked at X, "You beat three emissaries of the Seven Winds? Well you helped Maya, so I'll help you,"
X removed the shoulder piece, exposing the artificial skin beneath. Grubb went wide eyed at the complexity of the shoulder plate. A few minutes later, it was good as new. X reattached the cover and tested it. He smiled, "Thanks man, I owe you,"
"No problem man, working with something that advanced, it is what I work for. You have got to let me check out that armor,"
X nodded, 'A techno freak, interesting' "Lets head to that pumping station,"
Along the way, X was slowly charging up a shot, just in case. He looked at Runner, He understood him perfectly. The two held a conversation most of the way. He was very intelligent, just had a few canine tendencies. They reached the pumping station and found the warriors from earlier had left. A spinning fan was in their way. X told them to stand back. He called for his upgraded buster. His arm guards shifted to black. He raised his buster and let loose with a double charge shot. The fan was vaporized. Smoke drifted from the barrel of his arm cannon. He blew it away and his hand returned. His white gloves were now red. Grubb's jaw was gaping; he had never seen a hand help weapon with that much power. X looked at Maya; she was stunned as well, "What? I stopped the fan, would you two quit staring already?" he pleaded.
You are a walking power house. My laser is nowhere near that,
X sighed at Runner's statement. They all continued down the pipeline. X looked down to discover he was on a floating continent! He decided to ask Runner later about that. He was surprised to see so many different bloodthirsty monsters. He, Maya and Runner all blasted the beasties from a distance. Grubb was the medic and helped when the monsters were close. His staff wasn't just a large multi tool. They had made it through to the other side. A town could be seen near the canyon, "Let's get some supplies at the town, I'm getting hungry myself," Grubb said.
X smiled, "I could cook some roast beast,"
Maya gagged at the thought, "That is disgusting X,"
Runner gave the dog equivalent of a laugh as X busted up with laughter. The group made their way into the old west style town. Maya was getting angry when some thieves made some lecherous comments, X got heated under the collar, "You dogs need to learn how to treat a woman!"
"Let's get 'em boys," the leader yelled.
Grubb cracked one in the crotch with his staff as Runner bit another's arm. The leader pulled out a dagger and dove at X. The Cobalt hunter mimicked Zero's three hit combo. The leader was sent flying back. Maya wasn't expecting to see X use a sword, especially one made of energy. The three thieves and away wounded, pride and all. Maya walked into the store and came out with a load of goods. Roots and other herbs for the wounds. Water and food for the empty guts. X lifted up a strange orb with a rune in it, "Sup with the ball?"
"It is called a core rune, it holds core energy that is used in the casting of spells,"
X nodded, it sounded logical, up till she mentioned magic. He thought nothing of it and put some herbs and other items in a pack she handed him. He pulled Runner aside while Grubb and Maya spoke, "Ok Runner, I need answers fast, explain why the ground we're standing on is floating?"
This is world shell two. There are seven shells that rotate around a central core. A central axis known as the Great Spine rotates the continents, which generates power that keeps it all stable. Excess energy, called core energy is radiated outward from the core, which makes radio communication over long distance nearly impossible. The excess is used by everyone for a variety of things.
X nodded, it was an incredible statement. He saw the Great Spine from Oasis but said nothing. This world was unbelievable! He walked back with Grubb and they all began towards the canyon. X's sensors were finally picked up on the core energy around him. He found he could make a quicker charge by drawing in the energy. He filled up his two sub tanks and felt more relaxed, they continued onward into the canyon. Two fools wanted to start something. "Hey, check it out; some people want to enter our canyon,"
"Heh, they have to pay the toll,"
"What toll?" Maya asked,
"All your credits!"
X frowned, "Maya, let me speak with them," he said.
Maya nodded and X walked forward. Ever since Zero locked himself in that capsule a few years back, X had no problem with 'aggressive negotiations' as he put it. X pulled them both close, "Look guys, I'm having a really bad day. You guys are really starting to work on my last nerve. You don't want to see me mad do you?" he asked in a not so friendly voice.
Both robbers smiled and began to laugh. X slammed their heads together and knocked them out. X turned to his friends with a smile, "They had a change of heart. Nice guys once you get to know them, really. They said were free to pass,"
Grubb laughed slightly, "Your bad man,"
X smiled and bowed like a butler, "welcome to Outlaw Canyon, please keep track of all your possessions and enjoy your visit,"
The Canyon itself wasn't long, but the network of paths were. They found Tori in a small metal shack with a fire pit next to it. "Maya? What are you doing here?"
"Uncle sent me to get you; you're in a lot of trouble you know,"
Tori hung his head, "Yea, I know,"
The fighters from the pumping station arrived, "You're all under arrest!"
X charged his buster; he was about to fire but three floating figures, "Who are you?" the guards asked.
"Your doom," one said
A fireball flew forth from one and killed the three. The group was in shock, these guys just wiped out the warriors for no reason! The figures disappeared and Maya turned to Tori, "You are in deep trouble this time Tori,"
Tori paled and tears began to form, "I swear I didn't know Maya,"
Maya cut him off, "You just get back to uncle. He'll deal with you. I'm going to World shell 3 to get this all straightened out,"
Septerra, A world made of seven continents called World Shells. All shells rotate around the central core and generate energy to keep the rotations stable. Every 100 years, the shells align and allow light to reach the core, allowing a being to commune with the creator. Every 560 years or so, the core activates and makes a portal for people to enter or leave Septerra.
