Mega Man X Vendetta

Chapter 5

Rise of the Empire

Even though Republic's were born after WWIV the MHRB gave birth to a new government. Thus the 'global' empire was born. While this empire was short lived the new Grand General Armon declared himself emperor and through this action people began to realize that perhaps; maybe, X was right after all. Even though this was the case the new empire took total control over all media outlets they could gain a hold of and the ones they couldn't (in particular the American News Network) they banned from broadcasting in their territories. The RB Empire (Regulation Board Empire) began to take the resources of its controlled territories and used the acquired resources to wage war at an even greater scale. They began to threaten the Rebel forces with nuclear weapons and instead of surrendering even more began to resist. ANN became an important military and citizen media source for the rebels. ANN began to air on two different frequencies. One was a scrambled frequency which was used to coordinate the rebel forces and the other was used to deliver information to the populace.

The new empire also revived the destroyed program 'Repliforce'. This massive army was rebuilt and rearmed in record time. Within a few months Repliforce had been rebuilt to its former ranks. At its peak Repliforce would exceed two trillion ground units, one trillion units in its tank legions, and one trillion units in its air division. This awesome force would become an important part of the empire. It was assumed that this new empire would overwhelm the rebel forces within a few weeks…. Repliforce would be used in over five hundred battles and each time they went to war they seemed to become larger. However, what was not expected was that the rebel forces would absorb the HLA and the two would fight for the rebel's goals. Also the rebel forces had various advantages. Some of them were; better training, guerrilla warfare, and better technology. However, the odds were stacked against them in a twenty to one ratio. Only with the destruction of Armageddon would they have any true hope at victory.

"This is Josel reporting from ANN HQ with an important announcement. No longer are rebels facing the MHRB but instead, a new government. The RB Empire was born just a few hours ago. This 'global' empire has already begun its rampage against those who would oppose it and it has created a new tax system for its militaristic movements. It is illegal to say anything negative about it, it is illegal to…"

"An empire? I will join the rebels! At least believe in freedom!"

"I guess that Blitzkrieg was innocent after all…"

"What is wrong mom?"

"The MHRB lied to us…"

"But they promised…"

"Commander the general of the HLA wishes to speak to you."

"Very well…"

"Have you heard about the RB Empire's new project?" The General asked.

"What is it?"

"Repliforce… They plan to restore it and make it even bigger… So this is my proposal; the HLA joins your forces to confront this new enemy."

"Stage one complete…" Gate sighed in relief. He had unscrambled Sigma's data.

Next he would delete the virus…

"Zero…" Iris whispered as she walked over to him.

"Iris what is it?"

"Besides this war? I feel separated from everyone…"

She was in front of Zero and he wrapped his arms around her.

"I will always be here for you Iris. I promise."

"Zero can we stay like this for a while?"

Zero smiled down at her.

"As you wish."

Omega picked the scientist up by his jacket with this thumb and index finger. The scientist looked terrified at the lack of strength he required to lift him.

"How is this possible? I am a 20 times my size weighted reploid…"

"That's all?" Omega asked curiously.

"I get it! I will give you any information you want! Just please don't hurt me!"

"Good." Omega set the unfortunate reploid down.

The other scientist looked at Omega nervously.

"You come along too." Omega said with out turning to look at the second scientist.

He gave a small whimper and followed.

"You know if I was a Maverick hunter I would either have to terminate you or you would go to jail… But, seeing as I am not I can let you two go after we are finished here."

The two sighed in relief. Maybe he wasn't totally evil after all…
