Ok if you haven't played Mega Man X Command Mission before you may get lost in this chapter. There is also another original character named Guilroid who is based off Digimon's Guilmon. So I have to give them credit. Also Chief N, Nana's weapons, and Steel Massimo's body are MY IDEA! No one is allowed to use them without my permission.

Old Friends

Serpro was busy in his quarters equipping his new gear. He had spent nearly all his yearly earnings, buying the necessary components for his new weapon systems. His first new equipment was a brand new beam saber which he renamed to Dragon Blade. It looked like a golden beam saber. The handle was decorated and formed to look like a dragon with its wings spread out and its mouth open wide. On the heads center was his family's insignia. Once again he activated it to make sure it was working properly it sprang forth with a sharp hiss glowing a deep crimson. He deactivated the weapon clipping it to his side. He then proceeded to attach his brand new arm blades to his arms as always he turned them on to make sure they were working they glowed the same crimson that his beam saber did and extended an entire foot. He attached them to his wrists and then proceeded to place the tension crystals into them. In order to know when his anger was building up he had small red sensors placed into his entire body. Basically they would glow a deeper and deeper red the angrier he got and when that happened he would be able to brace himself for the change and control it better. He had also paid medical reploids to install a molten plasma furnace in him so that he would never again have to worry about being defenseless. Seeing that he had done pretty much all he could. He headed out of his quarters.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BASS DESTROYED DYNAMO!" Screamed Final. They were in a protected area overlooking the training room. Bass and his team were on the other side and when Bass heard Final he knew he had better stay away from her for awhile. Serpro had arranged a special meeting with his teammates to show them his new arsenal. He would be going up against Godzillon that day in a battle in the training area.

If he hadn't I would be dead!" Said Zero.

"I know that but still…"

"Shhhhh! Here he comes let's see what he can do now." Said Buzzsaw.

(Stand by Zero begins) Slowly the doors opened and Serpro walked inside. He had been practicing controlling his anger a lot in the past few days and had finally gained control. In a way he thought of his rage as his own hyper mode. His friends had gathered on one side of the viewing room while Godzillon's pals had gathered on the other side of the arena. Godzillon himself stood at the end of the room waiting he had prepared for this fight himself and was prepared to do his best. Serpro drew his Dragon Blade activating it. His team seemed impressed at its construction and he couldn't help but grin. Godzillon had a grin on his face as well and Serpro had a feeling that he had something up his sleeve. The battle began. Godzillon immediately opened fire. Serpro stood in one place deflecting Godzillon's blaster shots without moving an inch. He had learned long ago that sometimes it was best for one to wait for his opponent to make the first move, than to charge in first. Serpro's patience paid off. After realizing that his long range attacks weren't doing him any good Godzillon charged into battle firing his blasters the entire time. Serpro couldn't help but snicker because if there was one thing he knew how to handle it was a reckless charge. Serpro flipped over Godzillon landing behind him. Unfortunately Godzillon had guessed at this and quickly did a tail swipe catching Serpro off guard this was followed by a roundhouse kick that sent Serpro flying into one of the walls. Serpro was furious about being caught off guard so easily and quickly decided that it was time to show his friends his new techniques. Serpro charged Godzillon dodging his blasts and doing a sweep kick knocked Godzillon off his feet but Serpro wasn't done quite yet he activated his new jet wings turning into an arrow at the same time and collided with Godzillon over and over again knocking Godzillon out of the air and getting him into his claws. He then performed a seismic toss that would have taken Godzillon out if it hadn't have been for one small detail. Godzillon had secretly been taking out his M-16 Nitro Cannon, without anyone noticing and when he was thrown he quickly did a back flip and aimed his gun straight at Serpro. Serpro was too surprised to react and was blasted out of the sky. Now Serpro was furious Godzillon had bested him not once but twice. His sensor crystals were glowing so red they looked like volcanoes.

'Ok no more Mr. Nice guy.' Serpro activated his new hyper mode 'Berserk'. He was surrounded in an aura of red, his pupils narrowing to slits but he still had his iris's to show he was not going out of control. It was time to release one of his super attacks.

"FURY CHARGE" he roared. He activated his arm blades and went streaking forward at the speed of mach 2. Godzillon was caught completely by surprised and was nearly destroyed by the attack except Serpro didn't want him destroyed so he angled off to the side just so that he clipped his arm off at the joint instead of crashing through his center, but something was wrong. Godzillon's decapitated arm was glowing a strange yellow-green and then suddenly it reattached itself. Chaos Control nearly fell over laughing. Godzillon was equipped with a Matrix Regenerator System! Godzillon simply laughed and suddenly his chest opened up and at least twenty missiles were launched out of it. Serpro deflected them as best as he could but sill managed to get hit. His anger was off the charts now his eyes seemed to be glowing like fire and so Serpro unleashed another one of his new attacks.

"MOLTEN BLAST". His mouth seemed to overflow with molten red plasma as it exploded out of his mouth. Godzillon countered with his radioactive plasma breath attack and it seemed that the battle was at a stand still. Blast was meeting blast and neither seemed to be gaining an advantage. They ran out of energy for their breath attacks at the same time.

"Serpro seems to be doing real good," Signas said. He had just walked in at the beginning of the battle unnoticed. He looked a lot like Colonel except his uniform was navy blue and black. His right arm was purely robotic (he's in X5 through X8) and carried a devastating energy punch. Everyone whirled around and saluted. "Now don't be like that let's enjoy the show. They sat down again and X watched in amusement as Axl self-consciously put his arm behind Final. Suddenly Buzzsaw sat up.

"HOLY CATS WHAT IS SERPRO DOING!

Serpro had had it he wasn't going to be beaten by this guy; he prepared to use his ultimate attack. His crystals shot out red lasers creating a protective red sphere around him and then he charged the sphere from the inside until finally, with his last move separating him from victory he roared out

"DRAGON OBLITERATION!" The sphere exploded sending the destructive blast in all directions. Godzillon was enveloped in the blast and was defeated at last. He crumpled to the ground unconscious. Serpro's aura dissipated and he roared in triumph. It was silent and then everyone in the observing room cheered even Chaos Control was clapping. Suddenly sirens were going off.

"Warning! Warning! All personnel to teleportation area immediately.

"Well we had better get going." said Godzillon who had recovered from the attack.

The teleportation area consisted of ten teleportation pads in one room there was a giant computer that could operate the teleporters from the base. At the moment all the teleporters had been activated and the data was coming through. The teleportation process ended just as X's team and Chaos Control came in the room. The first figure to step out of one of the teleporters was a black reploid in a hat with two blasters mounted to his sleeves. He had yellow tags on his backside and wore a black tuxedo. (Marino's theme music plays)

(Marino the thief begins) "Spider!" Announced X, Zero, and Axl all at once. How could this be? Spider couldn't be alive Redips had copied his data.

"Hey guys did you miss me." He stepped off the teleporter pad and made his way towards a dumbfounded X.

"How can this be!" Shouted Zero "Spider! You…You're…"

"Alive? Well of course I am. Redips ambushed me when we were in the factory. He took me out or so he thought and copied my data. The truth is I used one of my cards to make me appear dead. Then when he left I limped away to recover my strength. You really thought I was dead? ME! X you should know better!" The conversation ended as the second figure to step out of the teleporter was revealed, a samurai style reploid with a gravitonic ion canon mounted to his back he also carried an electric blue sword mounted on his arm.

"Shadow! Everyone down this reploid is a traitor!" X shouted as he aimed his X Buster.

"Calm down X. Do you think we would have brought back the real Shadow? This is another reploid who has simply been placed in Shadow's body." Spider said placing himself as a shield in front of the reploid.

"I am sorry for the trouble that the former occupant of this body caused you."

"He's on our side I tell ya!" Spider insisted.

"He sounds like… Ail is that you?" asked X.

"Yes X, although the Resistance didn't want you to know it at the moment. My memory chip was not destroyed when I self-destructed. They recovered the body of Shadow and placed my chip in Shadow's body."

At that moment another reploid stepped out of the teleporter he was a massive reploid in green and yellow armor with red wings on his back. His head would remind you somewhat of a hawk's beak. He carried a huge battle lance with energy ax blades mounted on each side.

"Massimo!"

Then another reploid quite similar to Massimo stepped out he was a little taller and wore blue and silver armor he had two massive spikes on his shoulders and sported an iron tail, he also had the head of a silver rhino. He carried a giant yellow beam saber (more like a beam-cleaver!)

"Hi there X, I would like to introduce you to my teacher and mentor, the real Steel Massimo."

"It's an honor to meet my student's best friends. Massimo has told me so much about you three. Thank you for saving my home."

"It's an honor for me to meet the great warrior who fought against the Rebellion army single handedly." replied X.

"After we defeated Redips I went back to the Tianna Camp and freed Massimo, giving him a new body in the process."

The introductions were cut short as another reploid came out of the teleporter followed by another reploid soon after. They were both female but very different from one another the first was a small white reploid with her hair styled like gold angel wings. She looked a lot like a thirteen-year old nurse. The other figure behind her was a tall red reploid with a green hair-do with a coif at the end; she was very beautiful. On the back of her waist she carried two Beam Daggers in her lion headed hover pouch. She wore a red mask with three view holes on her head.

"Cinnamon and Marino." Proclaimed Axl.

"Well it's about time a few new females joined the gang." Proclaimed Marino.

"Yeah, hello. Uhmmm I don't want to be rude but what are your names?" Asked Cinnamon shuffling her feet.

"Her name is Shea…" Axl didn't get a chance to finish his sentence because Final stamped on his foot before he could finish.

"My name is Final. And I'm actually not a reploid I'm a human who just loves to kick maverick butt." She said with a smile as Axl jumped up and down holding his foot.

"Well who cares. When someone has an attitude like that who cares whether she's human or not, she is still a maverick hunter."

"My name is Flute." Said an annoyed Flute.

"Oh my, who is that handsome hunk you are hiding." Swooned Marino as she noticed Bass.

"Oh this is my brother, Bass; he's the leader of Chaos Control.

"Well is he needed at the moment or can I steal him for a second?"

By this time Bass was blushing furiously.

At that moment another reploid was coming out off the teleporter pad. X, Axl, and Zero had never seen this reploid before. He was a red raptor styled reploid having a hazard sign on his chest. He wore red spike colored armor and sported four beam sabers (Yeah its Guilmon but hey what can I say, he's my favorite digimon and I just had to include him in my story).

"Oh yes, X this is one of the newest members of the resistance, Guilroid."

"Hi, it's a pleasure to meet the saviors of my home." Said the dinosaur style reploid sounding like a nine year old kid.

"Ever since I heard of how you guys defeated the Rebellion Army I wanted to be just like you. So I worked hard and joined the Maverick Hunters."

"It's a pleasure to us as well, but I do have one question. How on Earth do you use four beam sabers? Do you keep some of them for reserve?" asked Serpro feeling as though he recognized this reploids voice.

"Let me tell you guys what. Why don't one of you fight against me and I'll show you how?"

"Maybe later Guilroid. As always you are eager to fight." This voice came from a reploid sporting a red hawk on his shoulder. He wore a blue robe and was dark skinned he wore a helmet with braids sticking out in a circular path wearing a helmet who's top looked like an eagles head. He carried a silver staff with a gold eagle on top.

"Who are you?" Inquired Zero

"X, Zero Axl this is Chief N he came to us a year after you defeated the Rebellion Army. He took control of Giga City and volunteered us as the Giga City Maverick Hunters. He is a great leader and a great friend." Said Marino.

"It's true." Said Signas.

"So just why did you bring everyone here?"

"X, I have some awful news for you." This voice came from the now fully materialized female reploid resembling Alia quite a lot. She wore a white tank top with the number 77 in red letters written on the front. She wore white headphones on her head. She now however had a gun holster.

"Nana, you too?" Proclaimed Zero.

"The Apocalypse Forces have taken over Giga City. We barely managed to escape alive and…"

"Wait a second where's the Professor?" Proclaimed Cinnamon, a great frown of worry on her face.

"I'm right here Cinnamon apparently they destroyed the teleporter pad so I just barely managed to materialize in time." The voice came from a platypus reploid with a backpack with four red mechanical arms (This was the best description I could think of). He was very comical but his face had a look that could melt glass.

"I can't believe they managed to break into Central Tower! I mean I put the hardest security codes I could think of on those doors and how on Earth did they manage to land on the air way platform? I put a vaporizing force-field around that entire area!"

"Warning! Warning! Unknown object entering base airspace prepare to intercept!"

"Well it looks like we arrived just in time." Proclaimed Spider pulling out one of his deck of cards and inserting it into his sleeves.

"Finally some action!" Proclaimed Guilroid.

The hunters ran out to the area outside the base. They could see the object hurtling through the sky, covered in an electric blue light. It impacted with a huge explosion. Debris went flying everywhere. While everyone was coughing and trying to see, a form walked out of the crater. He was a blue and white robot with a giant arm with a spiked bracelet around his wrist. He also had a red chest (I described him the best I could Ok?). But what caught everyone else's attention was what the newcomer held in his hand. It was a medium sized crystal it was geometrical spire at the top with a octagon like shape at the bottom with perfect cuts. Everone else but X, Zero, Scorch, Royaltie, Buzzsaw and some other hunters from the Psycho Accident, missed the fact that the crystal was pulsing purple a bad sign indeed. They also noticed the small jagged indent on the crystal. A roughly cut area on the bottom that should have been pointed.

"Duo." Proclaimed X, Zero, Scorch, Roll, Buzzsaw Bass and Flute.(Steel Massimo begins)

"Hello my friends I came here as fast as I could. The minute I sensed the dark energy radiating from this planet I headed here as soon as I could."

"Duo something's wrong dark energy is being created but we don't know how that is possible. You took the Orion Crystal and reverted it back to a positive energy source didn't you?"

"Yes, I did but apparently Dr. Wily managed to pull one last trick. He apparently managed to break off a piece of the crystal and then inserted it into the remains of my nemesis he apparently took his remains and rebuilt the demonic tyrant. I have come to help you defeat this enemy so that the Orion Crystal can be made whole once again."

"Ok, Duo we are happy you can help. After all we're going to need all the help we can get." Proclaimed X.

Ok so Duo's back and the whole gang from Giga City are here. The Apocalypse Force better watch out now! By the way Spiders explanation is my idea. In the real game I don't really know if that's what happened. This is also where you'd have to read Buzzasw's story "Past Shadows Future Shock" to understand what's going on here. And the other hinters are Ice Blue X, Slash, and Crossfire. But I don't know their real names so I suggest you just go to if its still there, to find out what's happened in the past.
