The Delta Cross
By: Kyougeki
-Intro
It had been 2 years since the fifth defeat of Sigma. The world had
been more peaceful than normal, with few Mavericks causing destruction.
Zero had been rescued by X, and the two hunters enjoyed celebration and
a time of rest. Unfortunately, peace would not last for long.
When Sigma was destroyed, the "Sigma" virus mutated and he found himself
alive again. This time, however, the virus split into two, like a cell
during mitosis. Sigma was unaware of this, and went into planning for
his next seige. This radical viral mutation eventually formed into a
conciousness that called itself Delta. It sought out to find a body worthy
of it's presence, and eventually found one, an experimental prototype
Reploid of immense potential power, and no AI program. The development team
had just fused some experimental weapons of destruction far more advanced
than Sigma's weaponry.
This self-evolved program, spawned into pure evil, fused itself into the
brain of the Reploid, thus giving it life. Delta began formulating a plan.
As Sigma, he suffered many defeats. Now as the offspring of the evil Reploid,
Delta vowed to destroy any and all Maverick Hunter forces. Especially the
two directly responsible for the many Maverick downfalls. X and Zero.
"When hope is lost and life is grim, an unknown warrior shall rise from
the ashes of defeat and battle the evil that controls the Earth."

Chapter 1- The Heros' Return
"...and the scene here today is that of a frenzy. Two Maverick Hunters, Mega
Man X and Zero, have just returned from a long and intense battle. As you
may know, X and Zero are the hunters responsible for stopping Sigma, a known
Maverick terrorist, and his many attempts at taking over Earth. For more

A huge party was thrown by Maverick Hunter HQ, and it seemed like everyone
was invited. Celebrities and Politicians alike were mingling, each giving
their views on the recent battles. There was food by the truckload, and
drinks to boot. Music blared in tolerable levels, and everyone there seemed
genuinely happy. Only, the blond-haired guest of honor was nowhere to be
found.
X mingled, as he did at all parties, polietly chatting and occasionally
taking a drink of his soda(he generally disliked alcholol). After a while,
he became restless, and wanted to find Zero. So quietly, he snuck out the
back door of the Main Office of HQ(it was decorated for the party), and the
black-haired guest of honor disappeared from the party.
Zero sighed. After all he'd seen and done over the past few months, he was
in no mood to party. As if on cue, the single horrific image of the bloody
aftermath of that great battle flashed in his mind, accompanied by the
wretched feeling of sickness that always came with it. He quickly shook his
head, trying desparately to remove the awful memory from his mind.
"Where is he...", thought X. He searched for his friend, seeking the refuge
that talking to Zero brought. His search brought him to the top of a 200 foot
tall warehouse. Upon reaching the top, he saw Zero, sullenly looking up at
the sky. X took a deep breath, and then spoke.
"Hey. Whatcha doin up here, Zero?"
Zero, slightly suprised, looked over at X, smiling slightly. "Nothing much.
Just thinking..."
X climbed up onto the roof and walked towards his friend. "You do know that a party is
party is goin on right now, don't you?" X spoke in a light-hearted voice in
the hopes of cheering up his friend. It came to no avail. "I couldn't survive
a party right now", spoke Zero with conviction in his voice.
X's mood darkened upon those words reacing his ears. He knew all too well
what Zero meant. "Zero, it wasn't your fault. It would have happened anyway."
They both noted the irony of X giving such a speech.
"Look, I'll make you a deal." Zero looked at X as he spoke.
"You and I go down to that party, and we have one hell of a time. Then tomor-
row, we'll both work this thing out, alright?" X was hoping he would agree.
Diving into such memories tonight was not something he wished to do.
Zero smirked. "Alright. You win, X." They both sighed. "Besides, they're
probably missing me, since I AM the life of the party". X chuckled, glad that
they could finally relax. But deep down, even during the party, both hunters
had a strange sense of foreboding. It was almost like someone was telling
them, "You know it's not over yet."
