Mega Man X Vendetta
Chapter 13
Restoration and War
She slowly opened her eyes. X was standing next to her.
"Wow. That is a quicker recovery than I ever had Alia." X smiled broadly. His eyes were filled with joy.
Alia tried to speak but it only came out as a whisper.
"I couldn't leave all the work to you X. What…what happened to my voice?"
"It was damaged and so we had to repair it. Fortunately an expert by the name of Dr. Light came in and gave us a hand. You nearly lost your voice… I would advise you not to use it for some time so it can heal properly. Since this is the case I will tell you about something we learned about you from this."
She looked at X questioningly. She wondered what he was talking about.
"You were not created by the MHRB. Your internal systems are far too complex for them to have created you. It turns out that a friend of Dr. Light created you so many years past. His name was Dr. Cossack. He was a good man and when it came to robotics he was one of the top three experts. Dr's. Light, Wily, and Cossack were the top three scientists of their time… I was honestly surprised when Dr. Light told me that Dr. Cossack made you."
She nodded and wished she could speak to X.
"Alia… I have to also tell you that I will have to leave here in a minute for the meeting… We need to organize and begin to recover. Plus, I think that we want our rooms rebuilt." X added dryly
Alia stared at him for a minute before smiling faintly.
Naturally he had to work. Being a commander required that of him. She fully understood. His duties were something he couldn't avoid because so many lives depended on his decisions.
X suddenly stood and told Alia he would return in a second. When he did he was carrying a small computer with two screens.
"Use this to communicate Alia. I know it is tedious but you can still 'speak'."
She nodded and began to type.
'Thank you X, this was thoughtful of you.' She typed.
"Anything for you Alia." He replied after reading the message on his screen.
'I understand the situation you are in X. It is alright. But, do me a small favor and come back after the meeting.'
X laughed after reading her message. After a moment he spoke again.
"I had already planned on it."
An announcement went over the intercom systems. She was surprised it was still functioning.
"Attention. The high level emergency meeting will be held in five minutes."
"They just fixed it." X told Alia.
She nodded.
"Alia I have to go… But I will return right afterwards. However, this would be a good time for Lifesavor to speak to you." X said as he stood up.
X beckoned for him to come over to them.
"She is awake? This is most impressive."
"I agree. But, Lifesavor, I would like you speak to her and answer any of her medical questions while I am in the meeting."
"That is acceptable. It is my duty as a Doctor."
"Alia… See you soon." X whispered.
She heard him leave quietly.
"Now Alia… What questions do you have?" Lifesavor asked.
'How long will I be in here?' She asked him.
"Straight to the heart of things… Just like X and Zero when they find themselves in here… I will be honest. I am not totally sure. Your systems are so advanced and complex that we have trouble scanning you. It seems only X can really answer that question seeing as he's the only one who can scan a decent chunk of your internal systems data."
'Why can X scan my data?'
"Now as to that… We aren't quite certain but, I personally believe that it is because X is extremely advanced as well. Therefore, his scanning systems are stronger than our own."
'That does make sense. But, are you are telling me that I am as advanced as them?'
"Not quite as advanced but really close to their levels." Lifesavor explained.
She nodded.
"Perhaps you would like to know about the conversation X and I had after your surgery was over. This might just brighten up your day."
'Sure.' She typed.
Lifesavor nodded and began.
"Well, I had just come out of the room and X was standing right there and as soon as I saw him I could tell he was worried. But, when he saw me he asked about you. I told him you were alive but lose your voice. He looked horrified when I mentioned that. So I had to snap him out of it. I mentioned 'burial' and he paled visibly. We spoke a little more and I noted 'Man you have got it bad… Head over heels in love even.' His reply was simple 'And I wouldn't have it any other way.'"
'He really said that?' she asked by typing.
"Yep. He absolutely adores you."

"Members of Blitzkrieg; we must decide our course of action. This grave threat must be eliminated as soon as possible. Otherwise the earth will not continue to survive. We are at a critical level; the population is at lower number than it has been in decades. It is even lower than after the Eurasia incident. We must stop this now!" With this X opened the meeting.
"X we need to repair, and attack… But how?" Axl asked.
"You, Zero, myself, and maybe Omega; if he wants to join us in this attack; will strike the space weapon as soon as we find it. The former hunters at base will begin to repair the Mechaniloids at base under Douglas' command. Then the Mechs will take over repairs."
"That isn't a bad plan but what about the fact that it may be months before we find the space weapon?" Zero asked.
"This is where the Navigators need to really shine. Layer, and Palette time to show the world what you can do."
The two girls nodded at X.
"Sure thing X. Just will you say hi to Alia for us?" Palette asked.
"Naturally."
"What about me?" Iris asked.
"Iris you want to help? Then help the Navigators. They will need it because Alia…"
"I understand." Iris nodded.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After the Meeting…
"Alia I'm back." X said to her as he entered the room.
'Welcome back.' She typed into the computer.
"Thanks. By the way, everyone said 'hi'."
'You look tired.' She noted.
"I am. I haven't gotten any rest since well before the attack…"
'When was the last time you slept?'
"Almost two days ago." X replied honestly.
'You need sleep.'
"I know."
'Go get some sleep. I need to rest still anyways…'
"Two birds with one stone?"
'Why not?' She replied.
"Are you certain that you want me to-" He began however a message appeared while he spoke.
'X I don't want you in these beds. I may need company but, not that kind of company. Get some rest-you need it.'
"I understand Alia… Sleep well…" X clasped her hand for a moment and then left the room.

"I can't believe this…" Iris said.
"Wow. That thing is huge." Palette said in an awed voice.
"The weapon is known as 'Armageddon'. This super weapon has multiple combat systems; including an advanced outer defense mechanism. This makes it almost impossible for anyone to enter the weapon. However, we should have no problem in transporting the strike team into the system." Layer spoke.
"Well… lets notify the team." Palette said.
"Not yet." Iris said suddenly.
"Why?" Palette looked at Iris curiously.
"The team needs to recover from the attack. I have looked into records and none of our leaders have had sleep for two days… Zero has just entered his RB unit…X is now in his RB unit…" Iris read from her computer monitor.
"I bet Axl is trying to decide if he wants to take his missile launcher with him." Palette guessed.
"Palette would you tell him to get some sleep?" Layer asked.
"Sure."

Later…
They were in the armory and the weaponry there had taken some damage but, most of the weapons were still functional. Riffles, bazookas and other weapons lined the walls. The dim light gave the room a dark and ominous look.
"Axl, would you just go to sleep now?" Palette asked him in an irritated voice.
"Fine… But look what happened to my…" Axl began to speak of his precious grenade launcher again.
"Axl! I will repair it if you just get to sleep already!" Palette frowned at him.
"Okay, okay, I got it; 'Axl go to your RB unit and recover.'"
"Good boy."
"I'm not a dog…" Axl muttered in a hurt voice as he left the armory.
Palette sighed. He was such a pain at times…

"Dr. Doppler. He just needs a physical form now."
"I know Gate. We should build the form with his original strength. That way, he will still be a valuable ally but not a major threat if he goes Maverick again."
"He won't go Maverick this time because of the anti-virus we will create within him. It really does work."
"I know but we shouldn't risk too much."
"Agreed."
