Somewhere in Texas, there's a High School called Coral Dirt Highwhere every student is going to learn and make good grades. But something happened on this Morning. A red beam that shot out and obliterated Coral Dirt High and all the students. Coral Dirt High, a school prospered to live though the times, is gone. And the students inside were given a chance of reincarnation into the new world, known as Equestria. And their reincarnation comes new super powers.
Then comes the founding of the Heroic Gang, Zodiac XII. With Each Member consisting of their own Zodiac. They introduce themselves as 'Body of Aries', 'Body of Aquarius', the usual. Their powers are based on the Game they played together. Final Fantasy XII. But they only trust each others and not the Non-Humans. Their Prejudice growing as time grows as well. The Reincarnated Humans eventually formed a new village far away from Equestria, but very well hidden and only those know where, including the Zodiac XII.
These Eleven fought and fought to bring justice for the People of Coral Dirt. Eventually fighting Ponies and Creatures to get what they want. Tough warriors who are sent to bring down the Eleven met their fate, and they Threaten to commence genocide if they bother any other people again. Equestria and the Creatures finally left them alone.
But you are wondering about this Question. "You said the Gang Members of Zodiac XII, should it have Twelve Members instead of Eleven?" Well originally there were suppose to be twelve, which is the 'Body of Capricorn', who is the Black Mage. He wanted to prove to his brother Aphre, the Time battlemage who's the 'Body of Libra'. His name is Krid, who believes in persistance. When they left to reach for the Twelve Zodiac Weapons as part of their team-based training, Krid followed and helped against the Mechanical Orb, after lots of training he might have a chance as the next Member. But something went wrong afterwards...
They all saw him, casting the Thundera Spells over and over, before finishing it off with his Quickening Attack. Four Elemental Dragons of Lightning, Fire, Plasma, and Earth. It swirls around as it charges at the Mecha Ogre, before it follows a big explosion. What's left is now a Pile of Scrap and Metal. But the Scrap regenerates and restores back to the same Mechanical Ogre. However, it has shown no hostilities now.
"Battle Test concluded. You have all emerged victorious. The Zodiac Weapons are now yours." The Ogre said, before it returns to the elevator and it descends, follow by the closing of the metal hatches. They all see Krid laying on his back, slightly injured.
"So that is the power of the Black Mage." Aphre, leader of the group, commented, "Looks like I should congratulate you on being brave. However," but his face turns to a frown of disapproval, "We are not going to heal you up."
"W-What?!" But Mother Sai-" Krid tried to speak but Aphre cut him off,
"...said to work together with us other Eleven, but we have some change of Plans after our personal talk." Aphre said, before his other two, the second and third in command, joins in.
"You see..." continued by Camethe, the Body of Pisces, and the Hunter, "There are Twelve Legendary Weapons that fit us of our Zodiac, and without you, we'll be the remaining heroes we all deserve."
"And it will only mean Doom," continued Arquet, the Body of the Aries, famous White Mage, "if we let you grow stronger by youself."
"We all just like to look you into the eyes," finished by Aphre, "as we render you fully Dead, and we alone will have our Zodiac Weapons." and with the final sentence, Aphre raised the Round Silverly Pearl Gem to cast this dangerous Time Spell, "Goodbye, Krid." fully accelerating Krid's age until it finally decays.
"Aph...ree..." Krid let out his final words as he gasped for air, before finally decaying to dust, and finally the Silver Pearl shatters to dust, using up all the magic.
And that is how the Twelfth Member ceased existance, and only Eleven Members stand. The Remaining Eleven claimed their Zodiac Weapons. The Diamond Zodiac Spear, The Garnet Zodiac Katana, The Emerald Zodiac Musket, The Twin Amethyst Zodaic Daggers, The Aquamarine Zodaic Sceptre, The Pearl Zodiac Sabre, The Peridot Zodiac Bo-Staff, The Opal Zodiac Hammer, The Citrine Zodiac LongBow, The Ruby Zodiac Greatsword, and the Lapis Zodiac Sword. The one Weapon to be left desserted since the Body of Capricorn is dead, is the Turquoise Zodiac Wand.
The Eleven has their weapons now, and none will ever think about challenging them. With the Hidden Villange of the Humans still influenced by their Heroic Actions, they might use it against the Ponies and Creatures. But It will only be a matter of time before the Zodiac XII Gang decides to begin the invasion and make this planet a human-only planet. One of the creatures echo a wish to end this all.
"Who can save the world now? Give us a Hero to battle the Zodiac XII, who is not so graceful after all."

Mega Derek ZX Isekai: The Equus Journey
Chapter 1: Wake Up DOT Exe
Desc: A blast on the School has killed everything, and those that met their fate ends up reincarnated in the magical land of Equestria in their new bodies, be it human, pony, or something else. Derek, the one who ended up as a new Half-Reploid, becomes the hero against the Eleven Gangmembers of Zodiac XII.
(Isekai Fanfic with CYOA Elements)
;;;
I don't know how long I've been slumbering indefinetly. Deep in his Water rejuvening my body, while my eyes are shut in tireness. I can hear sounds from the outside however. A Door opens, and I can hear the high-pitch humming sound. Footsteps coming afterwards.
"Coast here is Clear." voices, it sounds like male, "Those Monsters are everywhere."
"Well we can't rest yet. We gotta find that High Prioritized Relic then we can get out of here." another voice. I feel like there might be multiple peuple. "There it is! The relic is right here."
Running footsteps, they must be getting close to me.
"What in God's name!"
"It's a Person? What's it doing in here?"
"Wait, is that Derek? Buddy Stoce told me stories about him."
"His brother?" Stoce... So he's here reincarnated too. "Is this what he looks like from playing this silly Game?"
"Mega Man? That's actually a Good game. He played all the series. The Classic, X, Zero, and ZX."
"Must be planning to do the Battle Network Series."
"Well, lets bring him to the Village. Orders are Orders after all."
I then felt a slamming fissure. Sounds like a Punch, before something heavy and metallic falls onto the floor.
"It's a Dragon! Lock and Load!"
I hear lasers next, and fighting going on. Two trying to take on this Dragon thing. But all I hear are painful screams of two soldiers. One thudded, followed by a Roar, and then a Chomp. Flesh being ripped apart before tossed. Large footsteps followed afterwards, while the water start draining, me no longer underwater.
Feet somehow touching the platform that raised before lowering, and me slowly lowering myself to the knees. I gasped for air, standing up slowly on my feet, opening my eyes slowly to see a scaly wall. But when I realize the eyes moved, I jumped back in a shock, but hit my back of the head next. Ouch! I forgot that anything metallic CAN hurt.
"Is this the Thanks I get?" the Dragon responded to my fall, "Oh... You're already healed up. But still..." and she must be female,
"A Dragon..." I said my first word, upon seeing what it is. It is a Dragon, a real live Dragon that killed the two soldiers.
"If you see Fangs, Tail, and Wings, that is us." she unamusely said, "Why do you act surprised? Your kind has-"
"I know what a Dragon Looks like." I told her, "But I never thought they exist outside Fictional Books in my world." but I want to cut to the question, "What planet is this? And what year?"
"Equus, and it's 2152. I see. You are not up to speed about this situation." Dragon said, and I nodded as a response,
"And it's unnecessary for him to know." another voice fills and interrupts. The Dragon and I turn to see who it is. An angelic person is walking up. He has plated armor, on his torso, arms, legs, and feet. And he branishes a Flaming Sword.
"Who are you?" I asked first, stepping up to frontal, "And what do you mean Unnecessary?"
"I will answer nothing to any of the Questions." he coldy states, "I'm here to do my job, and nothing else." He aims the sword at me, and then flies to me, with an intent to cut me down and kill me. But the Dragon stopped it first. She flew at it but only to be stabbed. She roared in pain, making me cover my ears so it won't pop and bleed. But when I open my eyes, a magic circle appears out of the maws.
Wait, what's this? Another Magic Circle? It's where I'm standing now. Before I can react and ask, whiteness flash upwards surrounding like a wall, I close my eyes as it is getting super too bright, not wanting to blind myself like an idiot. I open up slowly as the sunlight fades, to find myself in this new area but same place.
This time it looks like a an Armory, but empty. Those Hi-Tech Pistols must be the only ones available. But with this Angel now on my tail, I better be quick about it. I run up and grab it, then run to behind the shelf while checking the gun parts. There's a Trigger, this barrel with the len parts inside. The Red Trigger looking like a button, but a shock from an earthquake made me accidently pull the trigger, light blue energy laser fired out of the gun. Well, now I know what it does.
A sound of Bwoop comes next, I look up straight and I see a Hologrpahical HUD.
[Welcome to the M.E.G.A. Data Systems. To get you started, you will be given 2 Basic Data Models to use.]
[NEW MODEL: Sword Soldier MK-1, Buster Soldier MK-2]
I can see the new HUD appearing on the top of my viewing, moving as my eyeballs and or face moves. It shows a label of what it is. My Green Bar being the Health Bar, Blue being the Weapon Energy? I am guessing its for special weapons or special attacks.
Where's the menu though? I flail my arms and pose around to find the trigger for the Model Select Menu. Whoa! Found it! I just do the DBZ Powerup Pose for that. I see it now, it shows a model of the armor set. Buster Soldeir and Sword Soldier huh? I'm pretty much a Range Person, so... Buster Soldier. I use my hand to touch, and then a blast of energy transforming my clothes. I look at what I'm wearing now. I am totally a Mega Man Lookalike. I look at my right armed wrist, shapeshifts from arm, to blaster. Arm, to blaster. This would be perfect though. If I need to throw a Punch, I can use my Hands instead. With some Boxing Classes, and fewer Karate Lessons, I should stand a chance.
"HEY! IT'S THAT DEREK PERSON!" Someone shouted?! I look to see it was a guy in this Leathery plus Chainmail armor. Looks like I got Exposed. So much for playing stealth. "I SAW HIM TRANSFORM! LET'S ATTACK IT!" I saw him run up and pull out his long sword, before preparing to strike me. But just before he can swing, I walk up and grabbed his arm.
"I think not." I taunted, before releasing and delivering a quick punch to the face, which knocked him back and slammed him to the wall, passing out.
"JOSEPH!" I see two more coming in. A Monk and a Female Archer. "So it is you! DIE!" She used his arrow to enchant with some kind of magic before firing. But I jumped out of the way, arrow hitting the walls as I dodged out of the way, before arming with my buster gun and pulling the trigger. I feel the peppering kick of my arm when I fired, energy bolts flying straight to the archer, and she shrieked in pain.
"How about this!" I watched as this Common Clothed Monk raised his arms. That some kind of Chi he is channeling. He is shaping a brightish blue energy ball, preparing to launch. I jumped and see the blast that left a hole. I jumped over and over, leaving behind blown up holes, leading to the bottom story of this science building.
"My Turn." I let him know before readying my buster. But I did noticed this wrist cannon on my right side turned into a longer barreled with claw-like radar disk, with a pull of the trigger, I just launched a missile, and it gives me no kickback. It flies to the ceiling and BOOM! A Fiery Explosion that knock anyone away, this Monk in this case.
I drop down and find myself in this empty room, and there's a hole to the wall leading to the outside. I walk out to there and look around, to see the sky filled with a battlefield. Airships on both sides firing cannonballs, magic bolts, lasers, fireballs, whichever. I see something at the back. Small vessels which are unarmed. Looks like magic spells being casted from here. Barriers used to avoid any damage.
"OVER HERE! IT'S THE ENEMY!" I turn around to find six more baddies. They have some primitive swords and axes. I decide to switch models to try out the S-Sabre weapon. I see my armor changed from dark green and mega-like to bright blue and mega-like. I see two Energy Sabers docked onto my back, and on my utility belt, three of the Energy Daggers, also powered off unless switched on. I let them go first, swinging their primitive iron-made swords, before I swing second with my Soldier Sabre. It's energy beam shaped as a sword sawed off each sword in each chop of my swing. That shocked them and they stepped backwards in fear.
"Hey! I said Fight!" The gold armored person said, who must be the captain.
"No way. Our weapon's destroyed." they responded,
"Don't argue with me and do what I say." he angrilly barked, looking a bit grumpy, "Now! One Back-Step and I shoot you." he saw one of them do so and he pulled out a Moderny Pistol. A short bang sounds the area, and he drops down. I witness him shoot his own comrade, after disobeying what he said. Geez he is serious.
One lunges a punch but I ducked and deliever a pony kick, knocking him down. I switch to my fists and kicks as one by one tried to attack me. Only the Captain here remains. And before he can shoot, I toss my Sabre aimed at the pistol in order to destroy it.
"Damn it all..." he struggles his sword to be branished from the sheath, "Do I have to do everything myself?!" and he points before sprinting at me. One horizontal swing and I jump up. Vertical swing and I side step. I power up the energy daggers which are electrical and toss it, stunning him before he goes for a swing. He is bleeding out from the side of the stomache. I then deliver a punch that send him flying, and into the debree from that wall. That must've broke his back. But WOW! Look at all the Weapon Energy I spent from this form.
I take it each Data Merged forms I have has it's own Weapon Energy. Unshared, so I don't have to worry about conserving. Hmm, I see my S-Sabre appeared on my back now, so does my S-Daggers.
Hmm? There's a Priest guy coming up. No skirt robe, but a nice suit.
"Time to use my awesome Spell!" He poses and starts chanting. What is he doing? "Alter the laws of physics and smite the metallic fiend with your lightness. Holy Cross Bang!" A Cross Shape appears, and I am stepping on it. What's this? A Holy Magic? Doesn't it work on undead things? He really thinks tha-URRGH! That hurts!
The Cross Shaped highlight actually blasted lightness, and it sent me flying off the broken hole. I swap to the Buster Soldier, and charge up for a powerful shot. BOOM! Diagonally to the ground, and it's kickback propells me to the wall. I was able to touch it and slide down. And down to the outside floor of this hi-tech base.
"DAMN IT! YOU MUST BE CHEATING! I'LL JUST TRY AGAIN THEN!" I heard him, how much Life Power I have? I see two tanks missing, so I'm down to 1 unit left. This is gonna be tough if I take on the boss.
I turn around and see this Tutorial HUD pop up. Right now? I got too many enemies on my tail.
[Enemies and Environments you destroy will drop Consumable Items. Try destroying those Crates]
Crates? That sounds useful. I use my buster gun and fire small energy pellets. Looks like the tutorial's right. Recovery Items. I see orange Life cans, flashing every half of a second. I pick it up and open the cap and drink. I see it extending. Restoring 4 each. Well, I got plenty of health back. But what is this? 'Extend' and 'Tank'
[Drink the Extend Capsule Can to increase the Max Guage by 4 pixes. The Tank Capsule on the other hand grants you one Tank. They can also refill your Life.]
I drink those as well, which all taste like Sodas. My Gauge get's an extending by 4 indeed, and I see to have a new Tank. A New Life Tank just like in Metroid Games. So if this gauge goes down, my Tank will refill it up.
[Look for the Cyan Colors as well when you're low on Weapon Energy as well.]
Well that's good to know.
With that done, I run up to the other building which has a Door.
I jumped back as this Mechaniloid flies to be my living Obstacle. It's not unmanned that's for sure. There's a Pilot behind the cockpit lens. Looks a little bit nerdy though.
[Light-Mech Bruiser: JUMBO MARU]
What's this? A Boss Title name?
"Well what do you know. Stoce is right about you being here." did he said Stoce? So he's also here fighting the creatures "I was thinking about bringing you back, but I got orders. So I gotta kill you." Looks like I'm right, and that brother of mine. Hasn't changed at all. He always keep his pride in being number one and keeping me out of what he does. "Say your Prayers!"
The boss meter appears on the bottom of my vision, and it also shows how many tanks this one has.
This Jumbo Maru starts with a single punch. I use my charged shot to fire at the fist, but it got deflected! It's ineffective. I instead jump out of the way and start firing my energy pellets. It's hitting the Cockpit Glass! I can see his boss gauge lost some bits. Whoa! Another Punch! I jumped out of the way before firing more pellets. But it's other hand raised and blocked away those shots. Looks like it's learning a bit. WHOA! IT'S COMING FAST!
Ouch! I find myself slammed to the ground face up from the smack. 5 Life Points out of my HUD. It's right hand hovers up and is coming down again. I rolled out of the way and got up before running, ground punches following me. But that leaves him wide open, aiming my buster gun and charging up before firing one followed by to more pellets. Nice! It hurts him! It took most of this getting rid of his first tank.
"Hey! Stop that!" I jumped before it can clap, arm my missiles and fire! "Missiles?!" Two goes in, but only one made a direct impact before the other got the side. "GAH! How about this?!" Small hatches opened? WHOA! LASERS! It zapped me with thsoe two blue thin laser beams and I fell to my knees. "HA! Got you now!" I see that he claps his hands and gets ready to dual-chop me.
I charge up my buster before jumping and firing, propelling me front from the chop attack. Then loading up my missiles to fire three more. Sounds like Overkill, but an additional comes in case it tries to bat any of it away. But no worry for me, cause I got it.
"You Cheap-ass Robot!" It said, as his Mech is blinking white for self-destruction. "Okay. I'll develope a new weapon that will outwit you and your weapons. EJECT BUTTON!"
He hits this button that launches the seat into the air, and before I know it, I see it explodes. I cover my eyes and find myself falling short before grabbing onto those metal poles. I position myself to look at the otherside, only to find an armed party coming. They got swords, spears, staves, and rods. And looks like they're not here for a tea time conversation.
I look down to find a water that looks deep. I let go and drop down, hands straight, diving down into the deep sea. Made it, now I swim up to the over water, and use one of the debris floating to see they are using a circle spell. They must be trying to get me. I dip back inside and look around.
Ah ha! A tunnel big enough for a person like me. I begin running, making chase through this rock, turning around and using my Missile Launcher to fire one. It's explosion cause rocks to fall and block their way, if they should try to. But since I went through underwater in this form, it's not possible for them. Though I can count myself lucky, knowing that reploids don't need air to survive. I climb up out of the water and shake, getting as much water out though it's only effective as a Dog or any Furred Animals. With a Coast clear, I revert to my normal human form, wearing my good-ol green-white jumpsuit, nice hard plastic latex, but sleeveless.
Looks like I'm not alone now. There's a Dead grayish white Creature laying on the rocky wall. It's bleeding out. It may not survive. It's looking at me now. "You there... Come Closer." That thing talks. It must be talking to me. I take small steps before knowing what it looks like. A hybrid of a Mermaid and a Horse. Without those Eyelashes, I conclude it is a Male. "Please... Do not go... to Equestria..." Equestria? Is it some kind of a Horse place "They have grown hostile...Since the assassination... We creatures were blamed... and we're unable to prove our innocence..." and those are the last words before he finally sleeps. Whoever those ponies brutalized them must be very dangerous.
Hmm? What's this coming out of the body? It's a spheric cyberspace-like energy. It floats up to my body.
"Captain Topaz!" a Hippogriff? I stepped back while this spheric energy flies up to my body. I watch her check on this dead sea creature. "Oh no. I came too late."
"You... know him miss?" I asked,
"He's my mentor." she explains, "I knew him since he took me in." turns around and looks at me, "A pure human?"
"Yes, ma'am. My name is Derek Ruth, and I happen to came here after my death in Houston." I introduced myself,
"Derek Ruth?! *Gasp* So you're also recinarnated." she said, "I do know you. I now go by Navy Sapphire."
"You know him?" I saw this metallic key piece floating. It has those robotic eyes, "But something's off about him. I sense a Power inside him."
"Power?" I asked, "You mean this?" I pose and show this square shaped icon. "I seem to got this when the Tutorial Message popped up. Are you... some kind of a Bio Medal?"
"Wow. That's a good guess. I'm Model CY, short for Commander Yammark." it introduced, "Quiz time. What does a Bio Medal do to a normal person?"
"It turns someone into the Mega Man?" I guessed,
"Wow. He's good." CY commented,
"Course I am." I said, "I played plenty of Mega Man Games. All the Classics before they went on the Yearly Hiatus." but speaking of, I look at the HUD that popped up moments ago. "Oh yeah, my new Data Model. This must be what those Scientists were experimenting me on."
[NEW MODEL: Hippogriff MK-II]
"Yes. Those Data Models are different from those Bio Medals. Classified as a Mega Man Data, you have the power to transform into forms when you absorb a Data from a Dead Person." CY explained, "There were many of those like you, but were hunted down by the Warriors of the Hidden Human Kingdom. You se-"
But we got cut off when I felt the fissure from the small blast of explosion. "Did those chasers found a way through? Bad enough they got a red magic circle to hover down."
"Red Magic Circle?!" Navy said, "That must be your brother's friend! They're like 100 Levels and we can't face them."
"We can go through the Tunnel. There's a Sleeping Dragon that we can pass through." CY said, "Navy, lets!"
"Okay." I watch him grab the Model and does this pose. "Mega Merge!" I watch her transform, it's lightness conjuring robotic armor parts on her. It's all green and white. Visor now red. Dragonfly Wings out of the back and buzzing. That is Commander Yammark alright, the Boss from Megaman X6. "Derek. This way." Thus I pick up my feet and follow him. All while making sure I merge too.
"Data Merge!" My armor is now yellow. Has a Hippogriff-like Helmet, with a face mask. This is kinda like the Cybeast Armor. Well, I'm ready for this. Time to think about exploring this place outside Equestria. Though, how this Assassination there happened?
