Total Dominion

Following the death of Sigma at the hands of X, mankind and Reploids took charge of their lives and tried to recollect their lost time... Looking at their homes with wide eyes, mankind and Reploid alike thanked the stars above that the Mother Virus had been stopped... Breathing in the fresh crisp air, they finally knew that the Sigma Wars were over with... Gathering up the pieces of their cities and rebuilding their civilization, everything started to look for the better for these people... After everything was set and finalized, the inhabitants of the blue orb set out to better their world... Their first task, they would do to commemorate the Earth's greatest hero, was to erect a mammoth statue at the place where he fell... And there, both mankind and Reploidom, they stood with their misty eyes saying their final goodbyes to their fallen hero... to their friend... With its wings outstretched across the horizon and sword pointed into the heavens, X would stand as a beakon for the glory that both races would hold...
Using this statue as the basis to make a stand, Neo Arcadia took its initiative to launch its attack on Reploidom... Seizing the moment of weakness, the Neo Arcadian government made a new law in which Reploidom would submit to their procedures... These supposed procedures were to make sure that the Mother Virus had left of their systems... However like most things done for the betterment of a race, there was a hidden agenda behind all of the lies... For all this was a cover and what they were doing inside of the labs was nothing short of trying to play God...
The consequences for not submitting themselves to the Neo Arcadian government were strict... If Reploids did not submit to these experiments, the government placed huge bounties out on them and hired out mercenaries to take out anyone who resisted... Everything had been damned in this world.... for hopes and dreams were naught but commodities to be sold to the highest bidder... Greed had reared its ugly head not even four months after X's sacrifice... forsaking his ultimate choice... and his greatest gift to everyone...

In the Neo Arcadian labs, the tortured cries and pleas echoed down the blackened halls... The spine chilling moans of their Reploid detainees seemed to haunt the corridors around the labs... For as the body pile of failed experiments gathered... they had no way of getting rid of the bodies and they piled up very quickly... In fact, the experiments ended so sloppily that they did not even know if they had ended the resurrection correctly or if they still survived... For in the growing dark, there would be a growing number of Reploids that had survived and would create havok in the world... Yet time would only tell when and where... they would strike...
No one knew where the Neo Arcadian government got the technology to perform such atrocious acts but they all agreed where the government got the information... It was public knowledge that the government was grave robbers but there was nothing that they could do to stop this powerful abomination... In fact, the hired grave robbers salvaged this information from the Neo Hunters' computer systems... To the horror of all, everything had involved the last remaining bit of Gate's resurrection data and was sold to them for the highest price... The price was meaningless compared to the things that they could do with it... They indeed put a good use to it for this stolen data was used to justify the killing of thousands of Reploids... and to try to resurrect them for the bettering of technology...

Whatever information that they could get from the resurrected Reploids, they would enter it all in their computers as field data, from every experiment even the failed, for it all helped and gave them enough knowledge to lengthen the time that the resurrected survived... When this knowledge was first found, they knew that it would eventually be leaked out onto the net... It was inevitable that it would leak out... and leak out it did... but much sooner than what people first thought... Everyone that had makeshift labs tried to duplicate Gate's results... In their eyes, life had become another forsaken quality... and further darkened the future of all...

While everything was going on on the Earth, Zenith snuck away from the public eye... and found himself in the ranks of the Intergalactic Police again... Despite all his hard work to save the world from Sigma, he was arrested for abandoning his post and convicted of his crimes... Zenith was sentenced forthwith in a minimum security prison whereas he had to serve his term for no less than eight years... For his saving humanity, he was stripped of his title in the police unit and disevowed of within their ranks... Soon his reputation grew tarnished and the good deeds that he had done faded away... He had martyred himself to save his brother from Black Talon's revenge... Zenith would not be the last to sacrifice himself for the greater good... for soon there was another to fade from this realm... and join the heroes of old...

The years passed and all the good deeds that were once overglorified in the eyes of mankind and Reploidom seemed to disappear... A total of ninty-five years had passed since X's ultimate sacrifice and the crimes of Neo Arcadia continued to grow... They had gathered great intelligence about Gate's resurrection data and used it to produce products that would lengthen their own lives... The audacity of Neo Arcadia was not reserved just for cheating people out of their lives for they also cheated Death himself... Violating this natural law, it seemed that their evil deeds would never end....
What remained of the race of machines seemed to not even be a handful... The few Reploids who had either escaped from the Neo Arcadian holding facilities, or had escaped being detained, hid in old dirrelect cities... They were too afraid of being caught by the mercenaries to even try anything... Here and together with the Resistance, they begun to dig up what remained of the old technology in hopes of finding something to use against Neo Arcadia... This would give them the edge that they would need to put a dampener on the government's plans... For soon another threat would loom over everyone as the resurrected Reploids would surface... What would come next would be the trial of fire that was needed to see if mankind would be worthy of inheriting the Earth.... for soon... the Madness would take its grip and effect the world unlike anything the Mother and Sigma Virus could fathom...
