Mega Man X Vendetta

Chapter 4

War Continues

Even though Blitzkrieg attempted to stop the war World War IV continued to escalate. By the end of the first three months at least five hundred thousand casualties were confirmed on all sides. The HLA had taken somewhere around 955,000 casualties in the horrific battles that constantly were being fought. The MHRB had a total of 1,000,000 casualties in the ensuing chaos of losing their main commanders. The lowest numbers lost was on the various rebellions which struck hard and quickly. The estimated total lost was around 500,000. We have gathered evidence that these deaths weighed heavily on the leader of Blitzkrieg and was growing more desperate for a solution to end the war quickly. This may explain the almost suicidal attack that X led against the instigator of the war. This assault would-

"This is Josel reporting live at yet another battlefield. This time the MHRB is squaring off against the HLA. The two factions appear ready and unwilling to yield. The HLA has nearly fifty thousand units on the frontlines against the estimated one hundred thousand that the MHRB has prepared for actual combat. Yet again the sun will set upon a blood-stained earth…"

X closed his eyes and then he could almost hear the screams of agony that would be erupting shortly. He felt helpless. He was unable to stop the tides that would claim even more lives today… What could Blitzkrieg do to stop the war? If they could just target the primary problems… But that required information. Their new adversary hadn't left the slightest trace of where he might be. It seemed hopeless…

"Snap out of it X!" Zero growled as soon as he took a glance at X.

"Am I that obvious?" X asked opening his eyes.

"I know you too well to fool me."

"Then you will know what is on my mind then…"

"What can I do to stop the war, if we just had info, it seems hopeless, blah, blah, blah… Really X… Think about it. We have gone upstream without a paddle before and we shall do so again."

"But, how?"

"The enemy will make some kind of mistake. They always do. Then, it will be our time to strike."

"Do we have any investigative sites?"

"That's more like it X!" Zero smiled slightly in encouragement.

"Master…. Armageddon is ready to enter final construction."

"Excellent! At long last!"

"But I still want to fight this weak X." The second in command protested.

"I will allow you to do so. If you lose it will matter not because, the earth will die as soon as you fall and all will be destroyed... If you win then maybe the earth can be used a while longer…. And anyways I will love the look of shock X will have when he realizes that everything that has transpired to this point has been of my design! I will allow you to reveal the truth when you encounter him."

"He will be able to die with the truth at least." The second in command smirked.

"Enjoy the fight. Either outcome will suffice for my plans."

"I'm touched." He replied dryly.

Gate flicked though the field reports. He had to try to finish the cleaning of Sigma. If he could bring Sigma back to the right side then maybe… Maybe it would be an advantage… He set the reports down and went back to the computer that was analyzing Sigma's original data. If he did this then he could truly be called the best. He would be able to free a Reploid from the clutches of the most malevolent virus ever.

"I will do this in memory of Armeana." Gate swore to himself.

The memory of her was all he had left… He would dedicate all of his accomplishments to her. His failures he dedicated to himself…

Omega tore the Hangar bay door off of its hinges and tossed the massive four foot thick door aside indifferently.
"How is it possible? That door was designed to withstand any major assault!" One scientist demanded of another.

"Because that is the Omega Project which stands before us…"

"Omega Project?"

"The final project which Sigma executed…"

"I don't care about 'executed projects' but you will reveal what you know to me!" Omega spoke sharply.

"Or what?" The first scientist demanded.

"I will have deal with the other meaning of 'Execute'." Omega shrugged.

He was dealing on a fine line here… Too much acting and they would be able to call his bluff…

"Hatred cannot create life. Life begets life and death begets death. We must accept each other as living and worthy individuals. Otherwise, the sacrifices we made will have been in vain."
