On a train heading to legion headquarters, the reploid boy Grey had just megamerged with the mysterious biometal, Model A. Transforming him into a being known as a Megaman.
Biometals are mysterious objects said to contain the souls of heroes from time long ago. With them people can transform into the warriors known as Megaman, gaining the powers of those contained in the biometals. However, the Biometal model A did was a new biometal with a mysterious origin. Just as mysterious as it's partner Grey, a reploid boy with no memory of his past.
After escaping from the evil reploid Megamen, Prometheus and Pandora, the new Megaman proceeded through the moving train, slaying the maverick mechanaloids along the way.
"We're really getting the hang of this Grey," Model A said.
"I guess so, yeah," Grey replied, still getting used to his new powers, "It almost feels like I was meant for this somehow?".
"Come to think of it, what were you doing before you got on this train?" Model A asked, while Grey entered a train car.
"Well, not anything really," he explained, "I was just asleep in a tube until some guys awoke me, then Pandora tried to destroy me,".
"Wow, and I thought I was having a strange day?" Model A said, while they exited the train and began wall jumping up the engine train car, "So how we going to save this choo-choo from the mavericks?".
Grey was unsure how to answer. But as he got onto the top of the train, he heard something.
"*Snort* *Wheeze*!" what sounded like a rough animal.
Grey stopped, alarmed by the sound.
"Yaaahhhh!" Suddenly, a robot that resembled an orange gazelle with an Indian feather lock jumped out of the train and landed in front of the Megaman.
"Model A, you broke rule!" it spoke slowly, sounding like a cliché Indian/Native American, "You make big mistake, the one you choose, no good!" he said sternly, "He Defective, you lend him your power, no good!".
"Mistake, what're you yapping about?" Model A said, rather annoyed, "You don't know me!".
"Who's this?!" Grey asked, "He's different from the other Mavericks?".
"Me not Maverick!" the Gazel replied, slightly offended, "Me Pseudoroid, me Buckfire!".
A Pseudoroid is a type of robotic life form, created from biometals that had been placed into an animal-like robot to give the robot powers of the respective biometal. However, all of the known good biometals besides model A, had been retrieved by Megaman ZX. Leaving this fire based to be powered by something far more sinister.
"You get away from Prometheus and Pandora but not from I!" Buckfire stated, "Buckfire obey rule, Buckfire will pummel you into ground!".
Warning, Warning!
Buckfire then jumped into the air and proceeded to do a meteor kick into Megaman A. Gray quickly dashed aside as Buckfire crashed through the floor and into the train.
Gray then jumped down into the train and started blasting with his gun. Buckfire retaliated by shooting flaming arrows at the megaman.
"Gah!" Grey barely dodged but ended up falling into the train.
"Hah, now pummel!" Buckfire then charged upwards, breaking more of the roof, before attempting another meteor kick, "Yaaahhh!".
Grey quickly dashed past him to avoid. He then turned around and blasted a charge shot at the Gaxelleroid.
Buckfire flinched in pain, having his weak spot hit.
"*Snort*, *Wheeze*!" he grunted, before combing his arms into a crossbow and began firing flaming arrows.
Grey ducked but was still grazed by the arrows.
"What's your deal!?" Grey asked.
"Must restore order!" Buckfire snorted, before letting loose red tomahawks "You disrupt order!".
"You're not making any sense?" Grey protested, after dodging the blades.
"You no make sense, defective!" Buckfire shouted as he charged forward.
Grey then tried blasting the charging gazelle, but Buckfire wouldn't let up. Grey was then slammed into the wall.
"Gaaa!" he screamed in pain, as the gazelle pinned him to the wall.
"Now, to finish job," Buckfire snorted, "Restore order!".
But before he could strike, Grey activated his targeting system and blasted Buckfire back.
"Narrggh, you!" he growled.
Grey then went running at the Pseudoroid, letting loose rapid fire on him.
Buckfire stood strong and unleashed his double tomahawks. Grey quickly dashed back to avoid the red blades.
The Psuedoroid then charged upwards, preparing a meteor kick.
"Not this time," Grey said as he charged up his blaster, before charging forward.
Buckfire then charged forward with his meteor kick. But right before he could smash the reploid, Grey dashed out of the way just before the Gaxelleroid could connect.
"Huh!?".
Grey then turned around and fired a fully charged shot that pierced right through the Pseudoroid.
"You, traitor, our future, our world!" Buckfire yelled, before his body exploded, "Yeeoooow!".
The smoke soon cleared, and the train came to a stop. As Grey began regained vison, he saw something floating were Buckfire once stood. It resembled data with a bluish green color. Before the reploid could even ask what it was, the data particles then flew over and entered him.
Meanwhile, inside of Model A,
Grey's consciousness suddenly appeared in another worldly place.
"Huh, where am I?" he asked.
"I think you're inside of me, or something?" Model A's voice said.
The data that was acquired from the Psuedoroid then appeared.
"What is this?" Grey asked.
"It's Buckfire's DNA," Model A explained, "See, I have this really cool ability to copy the bad guys we beat, so now you can turn in to him,".
Then in a flash of light, Buckfire appeared in its place.
"*Snort* *Wheeze*?" he huffed in confusion, "Huh, why Buckfire still live?".
"Buckfire, but we just beat him?" Grey asked.
"Huh, you, explain now!" Buckfire demanded.
"Ah?" Grey said as he fell back.
"Oh boy, I guess his DNA wasn't the only thing in there?" Model A said, "Let me see if this helps?".
The dimension the warped, causing things to be different back on the train.
Back on the train,
"A-trans!" Grey shouted.
Then in a flash of light, Megaman Model A had turned into Buckfire.
"Whoa, what happen?" the Gaxelleroid asked.
"Pretty cool huh," Model A giggled, "But wait, which one of you is in control?".
"I am!" both Grey and Buckfire said at the same time.
"Uh, I'm not sure, so let's just go with it?" Model A sighed, "Oh well, let's try getting back outside, y'know onto the roof, at least whatever Buckfire didn't destroy?".
Buckfire snorted in annoyance at this.
"Sorry," Model A apologized, "Just get going you two?".
"Come on Buckfire, please," Grey asked nicely.
"Fine," he snorted in compliance.
The Gaxelleroid then dashed towards a wall, before jumping upwards, "Yahhh!" he shouted as he ascended, before landing on the roof of the train.
"*Snort* wheeze* now, me get away with," Buckfire gloated, before the Gaxelleroid turned back into Megaman Model A, "Huh, what you do!".
"Like we're really just going to let you run off with us?" Model A snarked, "Sorry, but looks like you're stuck with us Buckfire,".
The Gaxelleroid just snorted and wheezed in frustration from in Pseudospace.
"Is that power why everyone wants Biometal so bad?" Grey asked, ignoring the angry Indian.
"Beats me, I don't even know why I was created?" Model A answered.
Buckfire remained silent.
"This train is all out of chug, so let's head back to the camp and figure out another way to get to Legion headquarters," Model A said.
"Are you going to help me?" Grey asked.
"Well, it's that or you'll leave me here right?" Model A replied, "Besides, we've got goons after us, and we don't know why?" Model A then thought of something, "Hey you wouldn't happen to know anything Buckfire?".
"You get nothing out of I!" Buckfire snorted.
"Oh well, it's better for all of us that we work together," Model A said.
"Thank you," Grey said with gratitude, "First we gave to help the people who are injured,".
"What?!" Model A said with confusion, "Forget about those Hunters and let's get back to camp!".
"No way, I'm not leaving them!" Grey shouted, "If you don't want to come, I can go by-!".
"Ok, ok, alright already, for crying out loud!" Model A said, rather grumpy, "Why did you have to be the only one around I could Megamerge with?".
"Hmph, you may force Model A, but not I!" Buckfire snorted from inside of the pseudo space in model A, "Me no help defective!" he then sat cross legged in protest.
"Whatever, like we needed your help anyways!" Model A said, trying to ignore the Gaxelleroid.
"Oh well, I'm sure we can handle it," Grey said, trying to be optimistic.
Buckfire just snorted and wheezed.
Megaman Model A then dashed off to help the hunters, leaving the area of the engine.
"Hm, so far so good," A cool voice said, before it's mysterious owner appeared, "The Gaxelleroid's being rather stubborn though?" the cloaked stranger then held up his arms as his star scarf blew in the wind, looking relaxed, "Oh well, I'm sure he'll come around and it will be shining,".
He then teleported away.
Well I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of Pseudoroid Shine! I know this chapter was a bit short, but don't worry the rest will be a bit longer.
?: Well that's how you tend to start your stories most of the time.
Yeah. Hey why don't you explain who you are, mysterious stranger that appeared at the end of the chapter.
?: Well I don't want to spoil much, but for now you readers can call me Star.
Real subtitle partner.
Star: Only if they can figure out my identity.
Any case, I've always loved the Pseudoroid bosses and being able to play as them in ZX Advent was just the coolest thing! They all had such fun personalities and powers, making me want to see more of them. So me and Star started up this quest to try to redeem them and really show of their potential!
Star: With that being said, I better go observe the 'heroes' of this story. So good luck with the next chapter partner, I'm sure it will be shining.
Indeed, remember reviews lead to sooner chapters and better stories, until next time!
Star: Later, may the stars shine in your favor!
Chao!
