Year 21XX.

X is in the ruins of an unknown city. He lay on his back with his head propped up against a piece of concrete and rebar. A little red headed girl with freckles is standing over his body. He smiles at her, she smiles back. Then runs off. Holding a teddy bear in her right hand. She trips over some debris, X shows concern on his face. A maverick appears, the girl screams, Rockman jumps up and speeds over to her, snatching her just in time to avoid the mavericks powerful downward punch to the ground.

A huge crater appears, Rockman jumped back with girl to avoid the massive blow, but a piece of concrete shrapnel had flown with super speed in Xs blind spot, striking the girl dead. X hasnt noticed as he lands. His gaze would not leave the mavericks. He sets her down while looking forward. He sees his enemy very clearly. Whatever is going on, this thing is trying to hurt an innocent life and that cannot be tolerated! X fires his blaster at minimal power, shooting a blast powerful enough to force his body to take one step back to brace for the shock. He wasnt even trying to put force into it, he thinks to himself. The maverick punches the blast and it spatters as if it was liquid water, the small fragments hitting random areas around them and burning the surfaces. Small plumes of smoke rise from the plasma points of contact.

X instinctively switches to hand to hand combat. The maverick steps into the light and Rockman see his enemy probably for the first time since his mind had been focusing on about 1000 things at once during the rescue. The maverick stands 7 feet tall and has features resembling a greyhound dog for the head unit but the body is some kind of combat ride armor with massive features, thick and heavy but agile. Its purple with black stripes as if it was the body of a car. The stripes go along the edges of his features like pin striping. The maverick moves in to punch X square on, X matches the speed and power of the punch and their punches collide in what sounds like a car crash with no glass. The sounds rustles off the neighboring birds sitting on power lines that dont work anymore. The force of the punch also causes some collapsed building walls to crumble down. The maverick steps back and is surprised at the power coming from the little bot who stands no more than 5 feet ten inches. He uses the other arm to punch down at X again but this time X doesnt match the power and speed but exceeds it by double, which blows the mavericks arm back so hard that it breaks it a the joint under the armpit a little. Sparks start to crackle from under the shoulder and the maverick holds his arm as if its broken and laying limp by his side. X doesnt pursue the attack but leaves his enemy time to think about retreat. X doesnt want to kill the maverick. He isnt sure why hes attacking in the first place. Maybe this is his home or territory and hes defending it. The maverick lowers to one knee and seems to be somewhat unresponsive. X feels slightly bad about putting so much power into it but the threat seems to be neutralized.

He goes back to check on the little girl. Xs memory of the event prior to battle comes back to him with every detail intact now that he has signled his body that the fighting is over. The girl wasnt moving when he placed her down. Must have fainted. He thought. X does not see the little girl where he had placed her. Instead, a large piece of elevated highway had fallen during the battle and crashed down on top of her. The girls teddy bear, with only its head and a missing eye left, lay at Xs feet. He panics. He uses all of his strength to hurl the debris up and over. What X sees is too much for him to process. The sight of the poor girls crushed body is so horrific for him that his first reaction is a preservation of self and he charges his blaster to maximum and lays waste to her remains, incinerating about 50 yards in front of him to nothing but burning coals.

X is now starting to crumble inside from what he just did. The feeling of being so afraid and hurt to just lash out and destroy what made him feel this way, so quickly and so uncontrollably, suddenly put the guilt of the girls death upon him. He was awake in this world for perhaps 15 mins and he already feels as if he will hate himself for the rest of his life. Why? Why did all this happen? Maverick! He turns to look at the maverick still kneeling down, he had entered a diagnostic and repair mode ever since noticing X was ceasing his attack. His damage is 90 percent repaired. He could move his arm again. The maverick picks himself up to full stand. X charges his blaster to maximum again. He is gnashing his teeth, so full of rage now again. The memory of the little girl smiling at him as he opened his eyes to the world for the first time, rushes into his heart. He may have loved her from the very start.

One second the maverick has his eyes on X. The very next tenth of that second X is standing directly under his chest. The look on Xs face as he looks directly into the robot eyes of the maverick is a look of blank expression. As if X is about to press a button and not end a life. X has his blaster put directly up the chest of his enemy. The maverick smirks...X ...discharges. The resulting explosion not only blows the Maverick to instant pieces but destroys much of Xs blaster arm. His left shoulder is broken and exposed and his left leg has been blown off at the middle thigh. We both deserve to die today. He says out loud. X lays on the ground flat on his back. His vision starts to crackle and form static. The sounds he hears of the settling dust and debris from the explosion distort in his machine ears. A man is standing about 11 meters behind him where X cannot see. X trys to charge his blaster, it barely responds with a mild hum. X , with tears running down his face, points the blaster at his own head. He fires...

The man that had witnessed it all undetected , emerges from his hiding place and walks up to X. The blast had not killed him, it only knocked him out. Lucky for him his blaster didnt have enough function left to kill himself. Light...you are a fool How could you do this to one of them? If you were alive you could see I was right once again! Dying like a common mortal when you could have extended your life as I have. Look at your masterpiece! He doesnt even want to live in this hell you left for him! My masterpiece doesnt suffer like yours. He will never kill himself. He will be the one to lead the way to a Utopia of humans and bots. Im still not sure how he was able to overcome the darkness that came with the massive energy source that powers his reactor. Now that he has though he will be the best example of us Light.

Dr. Wily picks up X. He scans X with a pen device to find no catastrophic systems failures . This blaster though is finished. ANd what about his memory? If I do repair Lights creation does that mean ill help this creature suffer more? Light and I dreamed of a robot like you X. But now I wonder if what we were doing was right. Should we ever have even created robots in the first place? No one ever questioned you like they did me. Just because a mans personality is sugar coated like his doesnt mean every thing he touches turns to GOLD! To me light, right now you seem like the biggest fool of all history! Look at our world. I could have stopped it after I gave up world domination and turned to robot philanthropy. But I thought the humans , if they did wipe themselves out like they almost have today, that robots would be better off. I was wrong about that though Light. You were right. We should have worked together...for all our sakes...

Wily takes X into a round saucer like ship that flys off into the horizon to an unknown location...
