MEGA MAN X: END OF A DREAM
BY ERICO
INTRODUCTION
Shortly after the Repliforce uprising, there was a period when all walked in a daze. Surely there was a mistake! What could be causing the Maverick infection? And why had Sigma been able to reappear, according to X's report? In any case, for once in Mankind's history, they were not sure of the future. And that scared them.
Man is an odd creature. They like to feel in control, want to know that in all the chaos there is still a shred of that basic feeling of protection. When reploids were made, the original goal was to put androids and robots on par with humans, creating a Utopian society where they could coexist, sharing their deepest feelings and dreams with each other.
But sadly, all dreams are usually shattered. The final attempt at the utopian society turned into a warzone at Doppler Town. Although it was quelled, it spelled the end of any sort of peace with reploids. Doctor Doppler had supposedly created the Sigma Anti-Virus, the curative and preventative that destroyed all remnants of Maverick Disease, but his fall to that same plague proved that no matter how hard the attempt was made, reploids would fall.
Even the great Repliforce, a reploid army dedicated to justice could not resist Sigma's control. This is the tale of what happened after the defining moment of that battle. Wherever there is good, evil will be too. That is the way of things, for always is a balance.
And to maintain that balance, a heavy toll would be required.
