Mega Man X Vendetta
Chapter 4
Memories of the Heart
Although the dual government had been successful for almost one hundred years the system collapsed by the end of World War IV. The governments that rose from the ashes were reminiscent of the distant past. Also, the global government was no more. Instead numerous governments rose from it and nations that had been cherished stood proud once more. However, nations have not risen against one another since then. The earth has been given a near universal peace thanks to the efforts of the noble heroes that were willing to sacrifice everything.
X delivered a speech after the final battle and in it he mentioned: "This war; this insanity, it must never be repeated. Live is too precious to waste in such a meaningless way. We must learn to forgive, and we must learn to love one another. Now we must bind ourselves together in friendship and love."

He snuck into the Hunter HQ. His orders were to target X. Not a problem. He reached the room of the blue hunter and he snuck inside. It shouldn't be long before X returned.
However, something happened that he did not expect, a janitor opened the door and he had no choice but to finish the unfortunate Reploid. But, it had been too loud apparently because a large green and blue hunter wielding dual sabers charged in.

Axl awoke. What was that? He had been thinking of the past before he had slept… Now it seemed that his hidden past was coming back to him. He had once been an assassin for the MHRB? At least now he was doing the right thing. So did it really matter?

"You are merely a defect Palette. You will never succeed in life!" Her father shouted at her.
"Fine, I will depart for my new job and I never will see you again."
"You are leaving? What is your new job?" Her brother asked her curiously.
"I have been accepted to become a navigator for the Maverick Hunters." She replied as she walked out of the building.
She had been accepted
into the navigation program and if she was to succeed then she needed
to work diligently…

Gate sighed. The anti-missile system was running with tremendous difficulties. He needed to find a more powerful version of nuclear fusion… Perhaps a dual core system would work if it just wouldn't overheat… Then if he planted an advanced AI REP chip then maybe it would solve the accuracy problem as well….

She laughed with delight at Gate's newest project.
"You are the best Gate! So what are you going to name it?"
"Blizzard Wolfang I think…."
"Ingenious once again!"
Gate smiled at Armeana's childlike attitude. He loved everything about her. Her large, luminous, silver eyes caught the light and it made her glow radiantly and her dark auburn hair was… Well he couldn't find the words to describe it. In his eyes she was perfect…
"What are you doing Gate?" Armeana asked.
"Staring at you."
"Gate!" She said in a tone of mixed amusement and exasperation.
"It is because I think you are the most wonderful person on the face of the planet and I also love being around you. Besides that I enjoy basking in your beauty."
"You are quite the charmer Gate….But, you love just being around me? Not me?" She smiled at him.
"Do you need to ask?" Gate replied moving towards her.

"Dynamo huh…" Omega smirked.
"What?" Dynamo demanded.
"You are the one that Axl whipped aren't you? If that is the case then go home and leave me be. I will tear you apart if you tangle with me."
"Right… A lot of people have tried to finish me off and none have succeeded."
"It is simple Dynamo. You ran away. Now you won't have time to run if you fight me…"
Hopefully Dynamo would leave him alone….

"I wish you the best of luck Layer." Her father hugged her as she prepared to leave.
"Layer…Take this…" Her bother said handing her a long, thin box.
"I can't take your rapier!" She protested.
"Please Layer. I want to be able to sleep knowing that my sister can defend herself."
"I will take good care of it. I know how much it means to you…"
"Make sure you do." He grinned at her even as he spoke in a serious voice.

"A bounty isn't worth dying over…" Dynamo muttered as he looked into Omega's eyes.
Moments later Dynamo transported away.
Omega sighed and moved onwards.

Weeks Later…
"This is Josel reporting live for ANN. American rebel forces have taken the eastern half of the United States over the past few weeks and British forces have repelled the MHRB and removed the Dual government in England and it is assumed that they will move on Scotland shortly. Brazilian Forces have been able to gain control over the coast and of the Capital. However, the Australian forces have had difficulties against the massive influx of troops to Australia. I am here now beside a tactician who supports neither side. Could you explain what the MHRB is doing?"
"It is likely that the MHRB is maneuvering itself to reengage the enemy after regrouping and rearming."
"What do you expect will happen next?" She asked him.
"The MHRB and Hunter forces have superior numbers and the HLA will not be able to continue to raise war funds at this rate so I would assume that the MHRB will strangle the HLA and then strike the rebellions fiercely…"

"Fusion Reactor online." The computer announced.
"I still don't think that destroying everything is the way to go…"
"If you would have done your job then X, Zero, Axl, and that cursed project of Sigma's would have been dead or joined with us! Then this wouldn't be necessary!"
"Sorry Master I failed…." A Maverick bowed in disgrace as he entered.
"You Fool! What happened?"
"Well… The White disgrace attacked my base… I barely survived…"
"How?"
"Well… I fought him but he let me live… The monster taunts me!" The Maverick roared in anger.
"You have failed me for the last time Virin…"
"Wha…?"
A massive beam of energy erupted from the being on the throne and when the blast ended Virin was no more.
"Master… You are much more powerful than most would assume…" A bodyguard dropPhoped to his knees.
"You are still nothing compared to me." The second in command noted a few moments later.
"Shut up already…" The figure growled in exasperation.
"Oh someone is irritated." He smirked.

Signas watched the troops training. He smiled at the site. They were fighting better than ever and they were fighting for the right…. They were fighting for what they believed in. It gave Signas hope…

"I will have to wait on this… Maybe I should finish deleting the virus in Sigma's data…" Gate looked at the disk which contained Sigma's data…
