Chapter 1:
Rebuilding The Past

"It's been one month after the attack of the famous Dr. Wily and the destruction of a good part of the city. Good morning, I'm Vector Phi here with a special interview with the new heroes and commanders of the Maverick Hunters, Breakman and Mega Man."

"Hello." "What's up." Responded Mega Man and Breakman.

"Tell us, how does it feel to back to life after 500 years of absence?"

"It feels good, even though we were brought back to stop Dr. Wily again." Said Breakman and Mega Man turned his head away and gazed at the floor, feeling guilty for the destruction of Mega Man X. His guilt was so strong that he couldn't continue with the interview so he stood up and got off the stage.

"Cut!" Yelled the director.

"Hey! Where are you going Mega?" Asked Breakman as he stood up.

"I have somewhere to go. I need to be alone." Said Mega Man as he walked out the door.

After that, Breakman was about to go after him when a hand on his shoulder stopped him. When he turned around, he saw Vector Phi transforming into Bass.

"We can't let him go just like that…" Said Breakman and Bass let go of him.

"Let me talk to him. I knew X and I think I know what's going on. Just the thought of living knowing that he had to die so he could live…" Said Bass and went after Mega Man.

Dr. Wily was at another one of his old labs where the rest of the Robot Masters and weapons were stored.

"Vile!" Yelled Wily.

Moments later, the Maverick once known as Zero who was severely damaged in the last battle against the Hunters and reared by Dr. Wily and became his right hand under the name VILE. "Yes Dr.?"

"Vile, I need you to go back to Skull Fortress and bring me the OMEGA file, take Gutsman, Quickman and Shademan…. And a couple of the X-Hunters, I need to upgrade them." Said Wily and gave him a disk. Then Vile got on his Tank-armor and took off with the troops.

Mega Man, the most famous Maverick Hunter was walking in the halls of Skull Fortress, going through the memories of the Reploid known as Mega Man X, remembering Zero, the pain and agony of being attacked by the Robot Masters.

"Why did it had to be like this?" He was asking to himself as he entered the room where Mega Man X had been attacked.

"We had no other choice…" Said a voice startling him but he knew it all too well. "…we wanted to copy your memory and transfer it but it was impossible to do without damaging X's circuits… so the only option was for him to die, then we found out that he was here and we let him die at the hands of the Robot Masters. Don't blame yourself; I am responsible for he's death…" Bass got close to Mega Man and patted him on the back, trying to comfort him. "…I let him die instead of helping him…"

Suddenly a plasma shot hit Bass on his back sending him to the floor. "We didn't expect this surprise, right boys?" Mega Man recognized the voice of Zero but it was impossible, he had exploded when they defeated Gamma-Sigma and when he turned around he found Vile's body.

"Zero?"

Vile removed his helmet and revealed his long blond hair and a face with a scar on the right side just like the one Kor had. "No, now I'm Vile and you are history!"
