Mega Man X Vendetta
Chapter 12

Opened Hearts

A shocking truth was revealed when Alia went to be repaired. She was not created by the MHRB but instead by one of the greatest scientists to have ever lived. She was far more complex that the MHRB could create. Her internal systems rival those of Mega Man X and Zero themselves. This however, almost meant the death of Alia and only through a daring move in the surgery her did she survive. X however, would be given no time to watch over her, due to the fact that his position meant that nearly a thousand people were depending on him to lead and pull the organization through the disaster.

"Alright. Lets numb her pain. Input code 3372." Lifesavor ordered.

"Yes sir." His nurse obeyed.

"Sir the code has failed. The patient has a phenomenal defense program. Was she really made at MHRB REP Center?" Another nurse asked.

"That is where she was supposed to have been created…. Nurses, do a full scan of the patient."

"Sir, her internal systems are far more advanced than any I have ever seen. Our technology can't get a full scan!"

"Just like…"

"Sir?"

"We will have to do the best we can. Get Lifepreserver over here."

"Yes sir."

Moments later Lifepresever approached.

"What is it Lifesavor?" He asked of his counter part.

"We need you to keep the patient stable as we repair her."

"Understood."

Into the Surgery…

"Her systems are at a critical level Dr!" His nurse shouted.

"We can't lose her! Initiate code 772 and get that steel rod out of her neck!" Lifesavor growled.

"But if we do that she may lose too much power and then…"

"I know! She may overload to compensate but we have no choice!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After the Surgery…

Lifesavor walked out of the room and he saw X leaning against the opposite wall. His usually calm eyes had become worried. Every part of his demeanor suggested the stress X was under.

"Is she alright?" X asked as soon as Lifesavor appeared.

"Yes, the surgery was a success and she should recover. However, she may lose her voice…"

"What?" X eyes widened and Lifesavor grabbed X by the shoulders.

"Calm down. We will not know until she is healthy."

"But-!"

"X! You saw how close the beam was to her voice controls! Any closer and it would be a guaranteed thing that we would have to replace her voice systems! X it is a miracle she is still alive! Be grateful that it may be a replacement instead of a burial!"

Lifesavor's mention of 'burial' visibly shook X.

"You-your right…"
X's breathing became heavy.

"It's just that…I never wanted her to…" X tried to speak.

"I understand X… Man, you have got it bad… Head over heels in love even." Lifesavor grinned slightly at X.

"And I wouldn't have it any other way." Was X's reply.

"Can I see Alia?" X asked after a moment.

"Won't do any good but if you want to you may." Lifesavor replied.

"Why?"

"She has gone into shut-down to recharge-right after the operation. But, X I need to speak to you about her."

"What is it?"

"Was she really created by the MHRB?"

"I think so. Why?"

"She has systems nearly as advanced as your own. We couldn't scan her barely at all. It is like she was created by a super- engineer…"

"Or a close friend…" A blue aura appeared.

"Dr. Light?"

"Yes X it is me. Alia was created by a younger scientist than myself. His name was; Dr. Cossack. I had shown my research of Reploid technology to him and he asked if he could create a Reploid as well. I had agreed. He worked tirelessly and finally Alia was born. I knew then that your lives would be closely intertwined."

"But, why was she in the MHRB training program?"

"She was discovered in Dr. Cossack's Lab in a stasis state. They carefully moved her to the production facility and then they woke her… Before they awoke her though they carefully hid her past and placed a substitute past into her in its place- the one they create in all MHRB creations."

"Which is?"

"Serve loyally, and without question. Having personality is a hindrance…"

"My word…" Lifesavor looked extremely offended.

X's eyes blazed at the thought of someone doing such a brutal thing.

"X… Because I knew Dr. Cossack I can help Alia. But, X I will need your help."

"How can I help Dr.?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"It is extraordinary." Jonathan said to his assistant.

"Yes Dr. Jonathan. She is strong."

"But it is more than that. If X hadn't been the one to have stabilized her she would most probably be dead right about now."

"Yes I agree sir. He has skill in repairing Reploids."

"I am beginning to wonder if X really has a limit. He is an excellent Politian, he is a phenomenal fighter, someone who is familiar with economics, and to top it off he is a physician!"

"That maybe why he is the leader of Blitzkrieg."
"I forgot to mention…"

The nurse rolled her eyes as Jonathan continued to ramble on about X's strengths.

"Dr. Jonathan? I need to mention that Alia's systems couldn't be properly scanned. Apparently she is too complex."

"Odd… Only two other Reploids have that same feature…"

"Who Dr.?"

"Commanders X and Zero…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hours Later…

"Well done X. Her voice should heal now. If not, then return to my lab with Alia and we will repair her voice systems."

"Thanks Dr. Light." X said in an exhausted voice.

"My pleasure." Dr. Light said as he faded out.

"Commander X!" A former Maverick Hunter called out to him.

"What is it?" X asked as he turned to look at the speaker.

Armarn walked over to him. He was an average sized hunter who wore a silver armor and the slits in the sides of his gauntlets were a dead giveaway of his short ranged, energy combat blades. He was the best of the 18th unit save for the commander himself.

"We need to process orders and Commander Zero has suggested a high level meeting of Blitzkrieg."

"Why didn't he just contact me through the radio systems…?" X wondered.

"Communications are in shambles sir. Only internal communication units still operate. Commander Zero's radio functions are currently damaged as well sir."

"I see… Have him get that fixed. As to the meeting I will think on our course of action and then call for the meeting. Have the other members of the meeting do the same. Meeting will be held….Tomorrow at 1800 hours."

X hated the thought of leaving Alia but, he felt that he had little choice. This was a burden he had to carry. Blitzkrieg was depending on the leadership- in particular; him…

"Blitzkrieg would become legendary for its rapid recovery and its retaliatory strike against the Super-Weapon 'Armageddon'"

Memoirs of Dr. Therom

The space weapon's power was so great that it could have obliterated an entire galaxy in a matter of seconds. Technology had progressed to such a great length that it could eliminate itself. Therefore, the new governments fought to eliminate combat technology. It was only a partial success. For, they never could fully trust one another. X's statement summed it up well. 'The greatest tragedy of all is not being able to love nor trust one another.'

"Thy time hast come. It is time to arise from thy slumber…" A voice murmured quietly.
