Prompt 7
Video Game - Mega Man X Series

(NOTE: This Prompt I am writing takes place in the Alternate Universe of MMX)

Awakening. The first thing that comes to me when I opened my eyes. I was in some kind of a Hospital, a Hospital for us reploids. However, I am nowhere pure reploid, because I have one part that kept me alive. My 25% of the human body. My limbs are missing, so I must make due with the robotic limbs. But thanks to my brain, I can also think and feel. Losing my ability to smell is a terrible thing to be stripped of, but it's worth the sacrifice and a blessing to avoid hazardous gas contact. I remember the heavy stings I had to go through, but I couldn't feel them because I was unconscious. My heart cybernetically enhanced, along with my brain.

"Dirk Vector. You have come." I looked at the reploid who nursed my repairs back to normal. "This is one of Giga City's infirmaries. We found you washed ashore."

That's right, I remember. After the ambush on the Sea Vessel, I couldn't fight that maverick that's too powerful for me to stop. I'm brave enough to attempt, but I guess you can say three part stupid.

"What street is this?" I asked,

"It's the 12th avernue. It may be low-class, but we are on our way." he answered, then I got myself on the feet so I can grab my utility belt which has my Buster Sidearm, which is a Handgun. I was advised to find a Tavern that has the Job Boards.

My Buster Sidearm I carry only has one level of charge shot, not as strong as X's, but it can charge fast. But my main weapon is the rocket-powered arms and legs, and my Hands can emit elemental powers. This also enhances my Buster Sidearm as well. My look is similar to Viles, who was once a Maverick Hunter until he turned against everything, but no Shoulder Cannons at all. A Jet pack works however, but only for Dashing and Hovering.

But anyways, I went to the Tavern and started Board Hunting, taking jobs that involves fighting Reploid Criminals. Not the maverick ones. I at least gained some friends. Steel Massimo, Cinnamon, etc. Then there are ones that X faced, Chill Penguin, Toxic Seahorse. They didn't last a mintue however. I get to meet the mayor of Giga City after defeating the Bamboo Pandamonium who he held him hostage. Not becoming so popular, but I earned proper reputations for my hard work and my battles against such threats against Giga City.

Six months have Passed. There was a note for me alone to meet up with someone. A name of the client is unknown, but the Location is not unknown. An abandoned Warehouse.

I walk inside, and in the middle I see nothing. I kept on scouting, determined to know that someone must be inside. I then saw a Shadow of a Dragon-Shaped. Magma Dragoon? I ready my Buster Pistol, and aimed at the shadowy one. It removes the shade to show redness. Looks like I was right.

"Chill, Boy. It's me." It said, but I am still feeling uneasy. I watch as it started the shapeshifting. A Light-blue Reploid with few pale Reds Teal eyes. I recognized it.

"Ocellus!" I said, recognizing an old friend of mine.

"I'm glad to see you alive." she jets to glomp me. For a short reploid, she is not fragile..

"Ocellus! Where are you?!" Here's the Blue avian-like Reploid, shaped of a Griffon, it saw me with eyes shrinked, "Wait, don't tell me you have a boyfriend!"

She turns around and gives a glare, "He's just my Friend, Gallus!" her robotic insect wings flatter fiercely.

"Smolder, Over here!" An Orange Dragonic reploid, with purple fins and light-blue eyes.

"Whoa, is that another Vile?" It said, who must be Smolder.

"I was always called that. I'm Dirk Vector, the Reploid staying in Giga City." I introduced, "But what are you doing here, Ocellus?"

"Finding a better town. We were hiding from those Maverick Hunters." Ocellus answered, and I am feeling unhappy of what's going on. Smolder saw my face.

"Of course this is going to happen." I muttered, turning around,

"Wait, you know this too." Smolder asked,

"I was on the same boat too." I answered, "I once tried to apply to become one, but their leader X rejected me. I tried to show I am worthy, until the incident."

"AHEM!"

I turn around to see a familiar Reploid. Blue, Cyan, red gem, and eyes glaring death at the three.

"IT'S X!"

Smolder charges in, followed by Gallus to attack X. "Wait, you two!" Too late, as X fires a Charged Shot at them. Both launched to the walls of the Empty Warehouse. I turned to X.

"So it is you!" X aimed his buster gun at me. "Why won't you stay away from our Involvements?!"

"I'm meddling right now!" I enter my fighting stance, as Ocellus steps back. "I don't care what you do, I will oppose your warnings!"

"So be it!" X shouted, "I sentence you to Immediate Retirement!" then fired its first Charged Shot. But with my mechanical hands enhanced with Arcane Energy, I launch a Punch that destroys the flying Charged Energy Shot. Two Charge shots later stopped, it dashes at me and I use my Hands and Feet for Hand-to-Hand Fighting. X unleashes flurry of punches, all blocked by my Arcane-powered palms, parries, and blocks. I follow up with two of my steel boots, aimed for a buck, launching X back. I watch it changed colors, knowing that X has the Varial Weapon Systems. From blue to paler blue.

"SPLASH LASER!" X fires off a wave of water beam. I change my enhancements to ice hands and boots. I launch beams of Ice, freezing each Splash Lasers, turning it to Frosted Flakes. X repeats the use of Splash Laser until it is all used up. Now going to Red and lighter red.

"CIRCLE BLAZE!" A burst of Fireball comes out of X's buster cannon. I jumped to avoid the explosive fire and use my Buster Handgun. X saw the shots I fired and started dashing out of the way, returning fire with his Circle Blaze. I aimed my shots at the Circle Blaze just as he is about to launch a shot. One shot makes it explode, sending X to the ground. He gets up sooner.

"How about THIS!" And thus X turns to Darker Blue Color. "METAL ANCHOR!" The said weapon fires straight for me, but I deflected with a round house spinning kick with Ice properties still in effect. Sent right back at X who grabbed it and dashed at me for a swing. With a heavy weapon slowing him down I started dodging and return with few quick swing of my kicks, before finally breaking the Metal Anchor and launching a fiery uppercut, sending X to the ceiling crashing and to the ground.

I then watched X roared in anger as the Armor upgrade comes. It's Armor Addon has White, Golden Yellow, some of it green. "NOW YOU'VE PISSED ME OFF!" I watch as X is abotu to charge up its enhanced Buster gun. It is growing bigger and I ready myself for preparations of dodging. But before that, there is a Dragon behind him. I saw it in the shadows dropping down for a slam, It reveals to be Purple and Green. X turned around and was shocked to see it.

"Remember this Dragon? Who you killed without mercy?!" It's voice belongs to someone else. It doesn't look happy however.

"Mavericks deserve no mercy! Not even you!" X rebuted, aiming its buster gun at Dragon-Ocellus. But before a charged shot can be launched, it swings a mechanical dragonic tail, launching X. I moved out of the way so this Dragon can fire a beam of green fire. In such pain, X tries to get up, only to fall to its knees.

"Too much. Alia, this is X, I'm returning to base!" X said before teleporting out.

I was in awe that Ocellus can do that, and I smiled, "Amazing, Ocellus! How'd you pull that off?"

"Um." I turned to see Ocellus behind me. "I was right there."

"Then who..."

I watch as the Purple Dragon shapeshifted back to the Reploid. Dark Green with Blood Red and Purple Eyes.

"I'm Colonel Pharynx, military leader of Giga City." it introduced, "And I thank you for keeping them safe." it turns to the three, "Come with me, your other three friends are waiting."

They nodded, but Ocellus turned to me,

"What about him?"

"Him?" Pharynx raised its eyebrow,

"I'm not with the Maverick Hunters if that's all your asking." I said,

"Then I make you an honorably member of the Giga Defenders." Pharynx plants the Badge to my Chest. Makes me confused, but I went with it. And thus, I became part of the Team. I am Dirk Vector, the new Fighting Reploid for Giga City, and I'm ready to take on even the Bigoted Maverick Hunters.
