Megaman Excel

By: Metal Sonic EX

Disclaimer: I do not own the Megaman X series. Nor do I own Megaman Legends, Megaman Legends 2, or The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. I don't own them now, and I won't anytime soon. However, I do own some of the Mavericks' attacks. You know, the ones that I, as in ME, came up with. Don't touch those. They are mine.

Okay. In this chapter, Zero gives a brief synopsis of Megaman's past. In other words, this is the chapter with the X series spoilers. I'll inform you when each new game takes place. Also, the X series storyline has been altered in a few ways, so watch out for that too. Finally, I own the Sigma promise mentioned in this chapter. I do not own what it will turn out to be. Other than that, I have nothing to say. Enjoy!

Chapter II

A Past Once Forgotten…

"Well, we have plenty of time." Matilda spoke up and Banner nodded. "Yeah." Not if Sigma's promise is actually coming true… Zero chuckled. "Have it your way. Just be warned that this took place several centuries ago. Teasel began freaking out again. "What are you talking about! Lately, everyone's been acting like Megaman is some weirdo from the past! WHAT DOES IT MEAN!" Zero raised an eyebrow and continued walking in small strides away from them, stopping about thirteen feet away. He glanced at Megaman and noticed that he seemed puzzled. "This shouldn't surprise you. Well, then again…"

Megaman opened his mouth to say something, but Zero held up a hand. "If you give me a chance to explain, I'll answer any questions afterwards." No one spoke, except maybe a Servbot or two. "In that case, I'll begin."

(A.N. Upcoming Pre-X1 and partial X4 spoilers.)

"It was the year 21XX when all of this started. Dr. Cain, a renowned human scientist, discovered you," He pointed at Megaman without turning. "in a capsule below ground. He was inspired and created an entire species of robots using your blueprints. These robots were highly-developed and were called Reploids. However, when he discovered you, he also unearthed a virus. Years after reploids were accepted into everyday human life, the virus became active once more and started attack reploids. This virus made reploids begin to attack the humans and certain reploids just went insane. These reploids became known as Mavericks, thus dubbing it the Maverick Virus. A team of powerful and intelligent reploids volunteered to stop the Mavericks. These reploids were known as Maverick Hunters."

"One day, the Maverick Hunter commander, Sigma, fought an abnormally powerful Maverick that became known as the Red Demon, the world's most feared Maverick. No one knows how Sigma won, but when he emerged from the warehouse that the battle had taken place in, his left arm was missing and his body was badly beaten up. He refused any medical treatment that was offered and a few hours later, became Maverick himself. He would eventually become the world's second most feared Maverick."

"This is about the time that you came in. You had been active for years, but you had recently become a Maverick Hunter. Sigma had started a Maverick revolt on a highway and it was you're duty to stop him. You shortly thereafter encountered Vile, an ex-Maverick Hunter who specialized in the research and use of heavy, high-powered machines known as Robot Ride Armor."

(A.N. In the next bunch of paragraphs, I'll describe Megaman X1 through X3. However, seeing as finding the names of the armors that you get in them is a pain in the rear, I'll just name them First through Third Armor.)

"You were nearly killed in the encounter, but, thankfully, I arrived a blew his arm off before he could finish you. He ran like a coward and you set to work on the other rampaging Mavericks, while I got information about Sigma. While you were destroying the Mavericks, you found four scattered capsules. From these capsules, you gained the First Armor."

"When we met up at Sigma's fortress, I went ahead and was captured. When you arrived at the room that I had been captured in, Vile sprung his trap and nearly finished you again. I broke free from my restraints and totaled both his Ride Armor and my body. When you defeated him, I gave you my arm cannon, allowing you to charge your special weapons. I told you to go ahead and when you didn't, I told you nothing could repair the damage I'd done. And… I… died." He lowered his head, while several people started and a few of the Servbots gasped.

"From I'm told, you finally did meet Sigma. When you did, he attacked with worse velocity than Vile had. You somehow stopped him and he revealed something he called his Kaiser Body. He said that the fun was just starting and attacked you. Miraculously, you defeated him and began known as a hero."

(A.N. Upcoming X2 spoilers. I'd like to remind people that this is the only X series game that I haven't been able to play. Nonetheless, what I'll write below is what I do know by looking at game reviews, summaries, walkthroughs, and God knows what else.)

Two months later, you got word that my assorted parts had been found by a group of Mavericks who called themselves the X-Hunters. You immediately jumped at the chance to rebuild me. Again, you fought the eight rampaging Mavericks. And the X-Hunters occasionally attacked, saying that if you could beat them, they'd surrender there parts to you. The X-Hunters were Serges, Violen, and Agile. Also, you found four more capsules and received the Second Armor."

When you got to the fortress that the X-Hunters were said to have gone Maverick, Sigma resurfaced and revealed himself as the cause of the incident. I was still out of commission, so help from me was out of the question. Sigma created a clone of me and, miraculously, you destroyed it and did the same thing to Sigma. Unfortunately, he had turned his old Kaiser Body into a new one. Again, you defeated him and returned to the Maverick Hunter HQ just in time to see me activated.

(A.N. Upcoming X3 spoilers.)

A couple of weeks later, a renowned reploid scientist, Dr. Doppler, creator of Dopplertown, announced that he'd found a cure for the Maverick Virus. Eight reploids were sent to investigate this and they never returned. Around then, two reploids, claiming to be part of Doppler's new 'Nightmare Police', called Bit and Byte, began attacking the humans and Doppler was considered Maverick."

"His Maverick Virus 'cure' that he'd invented had been nothing but a new virus he called the Sigma Virus. He claimed that it could make reploids just as powerful and crazy as Sigma. Unfortunately, the investigators had become victims to this new virus. There were rumors of a third virus, but reports never confirmed this suspicion. We were just leaving when Bit and Byte's attack forces began a strike on the Maverick Hunter base."

"I went on top while you went inside and were betrayed by a Maverick Hunter commander known as Mac. I got word of this and destroyed Mac, releasing you in the process. You continued to help stop the attack and when it ended, you left immediately to destroy the Mavericks. This time, I helped you get to the investigators. You also found more capsules from which you got the Third Armor."

"When we defeated the investigators, with the occasional interruption from Bit and Byte, Doppler revealed that he had found the remains of Vile and had rebuilt him. We beat Bit, Byte, and Vile. However, Bit and Byte somehow combined to become Godkarmachine. Somehow, we beat it, but not before I took too much damage and teleported off to Dr. Cain's lab."

"You eventually met and beat Doppler. You can guess that we were surprised when Sigma resurfaced for the third time and revealed that he was again the cause of the incident. You beat him and he combined with his third Kaiser Body and attacked. You beat him again, but he began filling the entire building with lava. Thankfully, you managed to escape."

(A.N. Upcoming X4 spoilers.)

"Several weeks later, a Maverick Attack was reported at Sky Lagoon, a floating city housing both reploids and carbons, a name that the reploids were starting to call the humans. We were sent to prevent the city from falling by protecting its core, which was destroyed nonetheless. When you entered the room that the core was in, you met with a Maverick Hunter from the 14th Unit, known as Magma Dragoon. After a short conversation, he left and you were forced to as well."

"When the Maverick responsible for the attack was destroyed, the colonel of an elite reploid army, known as Repliforce, appeared. Oddly, his name was Colonel. I'd just rescued his sister, Iris, so your the one who did the talking. Unfortunately, he left instead of coming to the Maverick Hunter HQ with you. Repliforce revolted against the carbons shortly thereafter. Their reason was that the carbons had considered them Mavericks without a proper investigation. Around this time, it was also revealed that Magma Dragoon, who had been responsible for the destruction of the Sky Lagoon, had betrayed us and joined forces with Repliforce."

"Along the way you found five capsules, four gave you a single piece of the Force Armor, also known as the Fourth Armor. The fifth gave you a special armor called Ultimate Armor. This was the most powerful of all the armors that you'd received before. When we finally caught up with and defeated Dragoon, he explained that Colonel had appeared and offered him a chance to goad us into fighting if he joined Repliforce. When all of the other Mavericks were destroyed, I fought Colonel."

He began clenching his hands so tightly, that his whole arm started trembling and tears began forming in his eyes. "I was just trying to disable him, but he kept fighting and he was soon destroyed altogether. I immediately left to join you on Final Weapon, a giant Repliforce space shuttle that had a laser powerful enough to heavily damage the planet."

"Here, I met with Iris. She'd figured out what had happened to Colonel and she attacked me in a special Ride Armor. Again, I tried to disable her or the Ride Armor, but she also took too much damage and…" Tears began rolling down his face. "she died in my arms." Everyone grew quiet and a few Servbots looked at the ground. Damn it, Iris! Why'd I have to be so damn blind! A few minutes later, he regained his composure. "Sorry. Anyways, I swore revenge on the one responsible for this incident. We defeated the leader of Repliforce, General, and someone took control of Final Weapon. General, who'd survived the explosion from half of his body, asked us to stop the one responsible."

"I wasn't that surprised when I got ahead of you and met Sigma. He explained his past and even had the nerve to call me the Red Demon. Apparently, Sigma had met with General earlier and had somehow convinced him to rebel. We fought and I was forced to head back to Dr. Cain's laboratory. You used the Ultimate Armor to destroy Sigma and his two alternate forms. Although his original Kaiser Body no longer existed, these forms were still considered Kaiser Bodies. Sigma activated Final Weapon's laser, which was currently aimed at Terra, shortly before he expired. General reappeared and sacrificed his life to make Final Weapon backfire on itself and explode."

"You escaped in a nearby escape pod. I contacted you and you made an odd statement. You asked that if you ever became Maverick, that I'd take care of you. This, I admit caught me off guard. I ignored it and broke contact."

(A.N. Upcoming X5 spoilers.)

"Weeks later, Sigma resurfaced AGAIN! By now, he was becoming a pain in the ass. He was detected on a space colony known as 'Eurasia'. We, like always, were sent to search for him. We'd undergone many changes over the past few weeks. Dr. Cain had stepped down as commander of the Maverick Hunters and went into hiding, although no one knew why. A reploid known as Signas was replaced Dr. Cain. Our new navigator was a reploid with a high-intelligence system built into her CPU. Douglas was the new mechanic and Lifesaver was chosen as the medical specialist."

"You chose to go to Eurasia with the Force Armor, however, when we found Sigma, it was destroyed. We beat Sigma, however, that was what he'd intended to happen. By destroying him, the Sigma Virus infected the entire planet. To make matters worse, Eurasia had begun its descent towards Terra, meaning extinction of all known life-forms would be most probable upon its collision. It wasn't a guarantee though. We had sixteen hours before its collision and we got to work immediately."

"However, after the first Maverick was defeated, we received a transmission from the mercenary that Sigma had hired to get Space Colony Eurasia into position. He introduced himself as Dynamo and he said that he'd attack the hunter base shortly. Sure enough, after the second Maverick was destroyed, he attacked and we beat him. By beating the first four Mavericks, we were able to rebuild a giant laser known as the Enigma. We fired it, but only 64 was destroyed. We merely bought ourselves another hour and changed its course of impact."

"We began Plan B, where a Maverick Hunter would fly a space shuttle towards Eurasia and eject seconds before impact. After the next two Mavericks were destroyed, Dynamo attacked again. He lost and left, warning us that we'd wind up dead if we continued taking Maverick hunting too seriously."

"You found the armor capsules shortly thereafter. This time, you got two armors: the Falcon Armor and the Gaea Armor. When we completed the space shuttle, I flew it towards Eurasia and this time, it was destroyed and hours later, I arrived back on Terra. However, the virus from the colony combined with the Sigma Virus. This was temporarily called the Zero Virus, due to the fact that I gave the same readings that it did. I was infected with it and refused to tell anyone, even you."

"We plowed through Sigma's fortress and soon, you found me in one of its rooms. I wasn't supposed to be there because of the strange reaction to the vaccine I'd been administered. We had an argument and we ended up fighting each other. I never expected you to win, but you did. However, I used a move called Soul Body and knocked you unconscious as well."

"When I came to, you were still out. I saw a floating ship of some sort and I destroyed it. Sigma had tried to destroy you and, thankfully, I'd regained consciousness in time. We fought and I somehow lost. When you came to and found Sigma, you fought him in the Ultimate Armor you'd kept. When you defeated him and his new Kaiser Body, he revealed that he had used me as a shield and that I'd taken most of the damage."

"You ran over to what was left of my upper torso and what remained of Sigma's head shot a laser through our bodies. I ultimately destroyed Sigma and later died. You would have done the same had someone not rebuilt you. When you returned to the Maverick Hunter HQ, you didn't have a scratch on you, but you did have my saber. When Space Colony Eurasia hit, it seriously damaged the planet. The only casualties were those from the virus."

(A.N. Upcoming X6 spoilers.)

"Two weeks later, Alia's old colleague, Gate, was rummaging through the wreckage when he found a piece of my DNA. A week later, he went Maverick because of it. He created the world's strongest defensive Maverick, High Max, making him next to invincible."

"You were sent to investigate a sudden outbreak of a new virus with the Falcon Armor which Alia had enhanced. You defeated an out-of-control Mechanoloid and what appeared to be my ghost destroyed the rest of it. High Max attacked you, claiming that you knew about something called the Zero Nightmare. You lost and he told you to stay out of his investigation."

"About this time, a reploid known as Isoc informed the public of the Zero Nightmare. He said that it gave reploids a 'dream' that caused them to destroy themselves or malfunction. Eight investigators had be chosen and High Max was their commander. After defeating three investigators, the Zero Nightmare appeared and you defeated it. That's when I reappeared and told you that I'd hid myself while I repaired my body."

"Together, we beat the last investigators and High Max. Gate called us and gave the coordinates for his lab. When we where backtracking, looking for the missing reploids before we stormed Gate's lab, Dynamo reappeared and continuously bugged us. Just as quickly as he appeared, he stopped appearing. Why, I'm not too sure of. When we finally did beat Gate, he used something he'd created for sticky situations and he resurrected Sigma! Sigma disposed of Gate and took shelter in his lab."

"He was only half-completed when we found him and all he remembered was revenge. You used the Blade and Shadow Armors that you'd obtained. Together, we beat him and his Kaiser Body and he swore that he'd return. You brought back Gate's body in hopes that Alia would be able to rebuild him someday."

(A.N. Upcoming X7 spoilers.)

"Around this time, you realized that there must be a more peaceful way to destroy the Mavericks and, to everybody's dismay, you retired. A few days later, a vigilante group called Red Alert took your place. They were suspected to be Mavericks and one of them even rebelled. This reploid was known as Axl."

"He evaded Red Alert's defenses and was obtained by the Maverick Hunters. We later found out that Axl's partner and Red Alert's leader, Red, had been using his incredible gift to transform temporarily into another reploid, copying their voice, abilities, and movement just by scanning their data."

"We set to work on the Red Alert Mavericks and later, you rejoined us. After a while, you found the Glide Armor and we met Red. We beat him and he sacrificed his life. He told us that a 'professor' had told him how to obtain infinite power using the data from the reploids Axl scanned. We weren't that surprised when Sigma was revealed to be this 'professor'."

"We beat him and his new Kaiser Body and he swore revenge by punching Axl into the wall. We were going to step in when Red returned and as Sigma was about to absorb his power, he used Axl's handgun and shot Sigma out of the window. When the white light dimmed, Axl stood in Red's place. Later, you refused to let Axl become a Maverick Hunter because of your ideal. He kept trying and eventually, he became one. Around this time, Dr. Cain and the world's first ever carbon, Master, resurfaced on the still-in-construction Elysium."

(A.N. Upcoming X8 spoilers.)

"A few months later, the carbons were creating 'new-generation' reploids, reploids with the ability of virus immunity and Axl's copy ability. Axl was a new-generation prototype. New-generation reploids were helping the carbons with their space technology. This was known as the 'Jakob' project and a huge elevator leading to space known as the Orbital Elevator was built as part of it. The director of the Jakob project was a new-generation reploid known as Lumine."

"A car from the Orbital Elevator had broken off and crash-landed on the ground. You were there when it happened and called for backup. I can only imagine your face when a whole army of Sigmas came walking out of the car. They turned out to be new-generation reploids who had turned into Sigma in order to survive the crash. Lumine was one of these reploids."

"An emergency at Noah's Park pulled you away from the crash site. After defeating the Maverick responsible, we were ambushed by the last person we ever expected. Vile. Someone had rebuilt him and he'd captured Lumine. Like most cowards do, he ran off before we could stop him. We then proceeded to stop the Mavericks scattered around the planet. This time, we had two new navigators along with Alia: Layer and Pallette. We also found out that the copy chips inside the new-generation reploids' bodies bore the same signal as Sigma."

"When we defeated all of the Mavericks, dealing with Vile numerous times, Sigma called us via transmission and he gave the coordinates for his base on the moon. We found and defeated him at Gateway, however, that turned out to be a copy. We found the real one at his space palace on the moon. We fought Vile again at it and we beat him. However, he locked Axl in and did a kamikaze on him."

"We fought Sigma, already in his Kaiser Body, and Axl joined us again halfway through the fight. When we won, just as we were going to finish him once and for all, he gave us a promise. If I remember correctly, these were his exact words: Whether it be three years from now, or three hundred years, I will return, with every Maverick from my previous incidents, and I will crush what remains of the carbon and reploid races."

(A.N. I would just like to remind you that I do own that promise. It's mine! So, unless you have my permission, hands off!)

Everybody just stood there for as second before Zero continued. "We finished him off then and there and Lumine came walking up. He crushed Sigma's skull and said that Sigma had only helped his plan along. By this, we were forced to consider Lumine a Maverick."

"We beat him and he revealed that the new-generation reploids, by using their copy chips, could become Maverick at will. We beat his second form and he said that evolution was taking its course. He also said that the planet was rotting. Looking back on that moment, it kind of makes sense, looking at what Terra looks like now."

"Axl started walking towards Lumine, after he expired, mind you, in a white version of his armor that he'd found while destroying the Mavericks. I was in a black version of my armor that I referred to as the Night Shade Armor. You'd received four armors in this incident: the Neutral Armor, the Hermes Armor program, which was a blue version of the Neutral Armor, the Incarus Armor, being a red version, and a new Ultimate Armor, being a purple version."

"Anyways, Lumine's body broke open and a tentacle shattered Axl's helmet crystal, knocking him unconscious. I slashed the tentacle and you blew Lumine's body up. We made our way down to Terra and we found a most unusual sight."

(A.N. This is were those storyline twists I told you about start coming in.)

Somehow, several Mavericks that we'd destroyed in past Sigma incidents had been resurrected. One of them, known as Axle the Red, began destroying the most powerful ones in what he called redemption. Another one, quite possibly the one you met earlier, was put on immediate cryogenic stasis. This was because he'd mastered an illegal art of DNA resurrection. When news of Sigma's promise reached Terra, people became so frightened that they began trusting reploids less and less."

"You quit the Maverick Hunters and continued pursuing your ideal. I stayed with the Maverick Hunters and Axl also eventually quit and soon became one of the Master's most trusted bodyguards. You were soon forced to fight the out-of-control mother unit, Mistress Sera. You knew what the outcome could be, so you created a little monkey to store your memory in so that it wouldn't be scanned by Sera, otherwise known as Mother Two."

"You won, however, like you figured you would, you took too much damage and were forced to be reset. You were sealed in some ruins and, from what I've gathered," He turned and pointed at Prof. Casket. "you found him. The reason that your monkey friend has been so uneasy to talk about your past is probably Sigma's promise. It's because of this promise that people soon forgot about the space technology, reploids, and Elysium. Carbons eventually started creating reaverbots from the same technology that reploids were. It's quite a step down the evolutionary scale, if you know what I mean."

He turned around and looked at the group. "I'm finished." Megaman took a breath. "Okay, how am I a reploid? I mean, I've spent my whole life thinking that I'm, as you put it, a carbon." Zero chuckled. "It's not surprising. You were reset. Chances of you remembering that you're a reploid are slim to none." Megaman nodded. "Okay, So, say this Sigma is resurrected…" Zero shuddered. "After being separated from reploid technology for so long, what could he do to us?" Zero shrugged. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see. After all, I'm going to make sure that he isn't."

The mayor of the island came up behind the group and coughed, catching their attention. "Sorry. I got worried." She saw Zero and asked, "Who's this." Tron scoffed. "Just some psycho who thinks that Megaman's a robot." Zero threw her a nasty look and she threw one back. Zero started walking out of the ruins. "I'll explain later."

(A.N. Okay. Below are two different endings. The one from the school assignment and the actual one. The reason for the school assignment one is because we started writing a new novel, so I had to bring it to an abrupt end.)

(School Assignment Ending)

"Okay… Anyways, the signal from these ruins disappeared and a new one popped up at Nino Island." Prof. Casket started. "Really now? We haven't been their in a while. I wonder how the Guildmaster is getting along." Roll and Banner nodded. Zero smirked. "Then let's go!" Suddenly, Sigma jumped out of nowhere. "WASSUP! I'm going to kill you now." Zero sliced off his head and continued out of the ruins. "Ignore him." And they all lived happily ever after.

(Actual Ending of Chapter)

"Okay… Anyways, the signal from these ruins disappeared and a new one popped up at Nino Island." Prof. Casket started. "Really now? We haven't been their in a while. I wonder how the Guildmaster is getting along." Roll and Banner nodded. Zero smirked. "Then let's go!" Meanwhile, at Nino Island, several large ships were flying towards it. "Hahahahaha! Once we gain control of Nino Island, no one will stop us! HAHAHAHAHA!"

I'm sorry that the school assignment ending sucked so badly. But, hey, I was forced to end it on a short note. So… Anyways, the next chapter will be the first that I didn't write in school. I don't think that I'd be able to anyways, due to the title. Ah, well. Anyways, Read and Review and I might consider continuing.
