Author's note: I know what you're thinking, "Oh jeez, another Megaman/Minecraft crossover…" Yes, I know I've already done this with a different character but I love Megaman and Minecraft so much! Can't a writer have their insane dreams?
Zero Minecraft
"You're improving Charlot, but I'm still the black belt here. Plus many of my favorite characters wield swords."
"I have no idea how you can use a cardboard sword so well Arceus!"
"Calvin and Ethan were once my friends and very good practice. Add Tae-Kwon-Do and I might as well be one with the sword. You still did pretty well; and I expected nothing less from the dungeon master that got me into D&D!"
"Thanks… Oh crap! I forgot about Grayson going to his friend's party! Well, looks like I should get going now."
"That's okay! We can continue this story later. Bye!"
A teenage girl stood outside in the sunlight with a loose ponytail blowing in the breeze. She waved goodbye to her friend and then went in her house. There a black-and-white cat rushed to greet her.
"Agh! Buddy! Stop getting underfoot for once! It's not like I've been gone for ten years!"
"Meow."
"Good idea! Testing out the Epic Portals mod right after a good LARP session. That's why you're my favorite animal."
The long-haired burnette went to her computer and pulled up the Minecraft website and began to load her favorite survival-mode world.

Another boring day of paperwork awaited the world-famous Zero. Even the skies showed the dull mood of the day by being covered in clouds and raining. It had been about a week after the force metal incidents, and not a single threat appeared. Some enjoyed the peace, but others didn't. With a knock, an azure Reploid walked in.
"Hey X, what brings you here?"
"Figured that paperwork on a rainy day would be dull without some excitement."
"Is that why Axl's right behind you with a bucket of white paint?"
"Gah! Axl!"
"Hehe, your face was priceless!"
"Great, so now I have to clean myself again."
"Never turn your back on Axl… Even when it's nowhere near April Fool's Day!" The ginger teenager then darted off to his next prank to pull. Gloomy days always needed a mischievous hunter around.
"Anyway, I wanted to give you some company."
"Heheh, still worried about me with the whole Spider and not trusting you business?"
"Well, yeah… It's my job to worry about you since you obviously can't worry."

"Alright, I have thirty-two obsidian blocks… My second lucky number should do it for an awesome portal!"
"Meow."
"This is going to be so cool! Now for the flint and steel…"

Suddenly, purple goo enveloped Zero, and he disappeared after a few seconds without a trace.
"What the…? Axl, you better not be pulling any more tricks…"

Ugh. Where am I? The crimson hunter found himself in a completely different world. Everything was heavily pixilated, including him, and formed into sharp blocks. What is going on with this world? The warrior tried to move, but found that he couldn't. It felt like he was trapped in thick glass that had hardened around him. The biggest surprise then came. A face appeared in the hunter's mind that looked eerily like Iris', down to the smallest detail. The only difference is that this girl had an adolescent look to her features and blue eyes with large, irregular pupils and a bit of hazel in the corner of the left eye. Heterochromia and coloboma conditions in the same eye. Upon seeing the blonde warrior, those eyes opened wide with shock.
"Wh-what…? I-is it really…?" Asked both entities at the same time. A brief moment of silence later, the girl spoke up.
"A-are you Z-Zero…?"
"Err, yes… How do you know me?"
The girl then flew into insane ecstasy. Not only is her hero here, but in one of her favorite games, Minecraft. The crimson hunter was clearly confused. He had no idea where he is, who this girl is and why he can't move. After a while, the girl finally calmed down enough to comprehend speech again.
"You look a lot like someone I knew…"
"Yes, I know. Iris."
"How do you know so much about me?"
"In this world, universe or timey-stuff, you're a hero of a game series starring what I assume are your two closest friends, X, Axl and yourself." The girl hid a smile as best she could. So my hypothesis is correct after all! Wow, I HAVE to be asleep or something…
"Well, I've heard more insane logic before… Any idea where I am?"
With a giggle, the girl responded, "Minecraftia, in my 1337 world. Things are quite different here if you couldn't tell."
"You can say that again. By the way, what should I call you?"
"My friends call me Arceus since I HATE my real name but you're special… Gah! Too much fan girl-ism to think straight!"
"If you respect me as much as you say you do, I suppose we can be friends soon enough."
"Then I guess Arceus will work! Hooray!"
Another session of squeals and helpless flailing later…
"Any way that I can move?"
"Oh jeez, sorry about that! This might be a weird thing for you to grasp, but right now you're in a game and… Oh balls to it! It's too hard to explain, just showing you is easier."
Arceus pressed the 'w' key, and Zero moved forward.
"So I can only move and interact with the world when you want me to?"
"Yeah. This might get really weird but don't worry. I'm pretty good at playing Minecraft. I guess somehow this giant Nether portal pulled you into my time and universe."
"Until we get a bunch of flying squids, I've been in more nonsensical situations."
"You've obviously never heard of Minecraft before. Look to your right."
"Good gracious, some flying squid!"
"There are two things Minecraft is famous for: its monsters and its glitches."
"Wonderful. Sure beats the hell out of paperwork though."
"ANYTHING beats paperwork/schoolwork in my world."
