Mega Man X Vendetta
Epilogue
Fulfilled Hearts
Omega looked out across the canyon, his intense blue eyes having a distant quality to them.
"Its funny really, Blitzkrieg has found its heart at last while I; merely exist. No one knows who I truly am, least of all myself. Only a few people have seen my face, and the only one who is still alive who has seen it is X… What am I?" Omega clenched both of his fists as he spoke. His heart continued to ache even after he had his revenge. Now, there was nothing left for him.
"If history repeats itself; then what future do I have? Nothing like me has ever existed. Physically I am near invincible, but I feel as if my soul has been shattered. I know consciously that I did everything that I could. But, I was too weak to stop Sigma from mutating me. I don't think I can ever truly forgive him. I didn't say so to his face because; he deserved to have a clean death. Everyone deserves that much… Save for perhaps myself…"
Drawing his sword he ignited the blade. He stared at his weapon fondly.
"The only thing I have left is this sword. I will use it to find my path. I will seek justice and the answers I crave! The 'White Demon' will never be destroyed, but instead I will find my path! With is weapon I will cut myself a path! If destiny requires me to give up or die then I will topple destiny itself! Mavericks will fear my blade." Omega vowed.
It wasn't fully satisfying but, X found his heart over time. Perhaps, he too could…

"Will you take Alia as you lawfully wedded wife, to love and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?" The minister asked him.
"I will." X promised.
"And do you Alia, take X to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do."
"If there are no objections, by the power invested in me by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; I pronounce you man and wife."
Thunderous applause erupted throughout the sanctuary as the newly wedded couple moved away from the podium.
X and Alia walked past Axl and they gave him a faint smile at the same time.
Yep, they were now one. It hadn't surprised Axl when he heard about the proposal or the wedding either. But, it surprised him how in love the two truly were.
(At the Wedding Reception)
Alia was found constantly by X's side, the guests began to quietly joke that they had been glued together. (The joke was started; compliments of Axl). What bugged him though was that they didn't hear the joke or they simply didn't care. He had tried to distract X and Alia all day; but to his chagrin they had been unshakeable. He had been told that on weddings couples tended to be shaken easily, he was irritated that he hadn't gotten anywhere in his pranks with them. True, Zero and his wife Iris had made it harder for him but, they couldn't stop everything that he had tried. Besides that Zero was occupied with being 'best man'. Zero looked slightly uncomfortable in his position but Axl assumed that since X had been kind enough to be the best man for his wedding Zero was returning the favor.

While Zero was uncomfortable in his position he was honored that X had asked him to be the best man to the ceremony. It wasn't everyday that such a ceremony happened between two Reploids. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Archmidas, what are you doing here?" X asked his former second in command.
"My commander gets married, why wouldn't I be here? By the way, I have a small surprise. Commander X, Alia please follow me." Archmidas asked as he turned and walked to a room. X, shrugging followed his former subordinate.
"Congratulations Commander X!" The 17th unit cheered when he entered.
X felt his eyes moisten slightly as he saw the unit he had once lead as a Maverick Hunter.
"Everyone…Thank you." X spoke in an overcome voice.
"Remember what I said X? 'Sir in my eyes you will always command me and the 17th'. I meant it and the rest of us have always seen you as our commander. We always will sir. While we continued to serve mankind as a part of Blitzkrieg it isn't the same without you sir." Archmidas saluted him.
Following Archmidas' lead the entire unit saluted him as well. X tried to stop the faint trail of tears that had begun. Even after everything they still saw him as 'Commander X'. His comrades that he had fought beside for years…

X walked next to his bride and as he was helping her in the car he detected a small flicker of white in the crowd, white and a smaller amount of blue. Leaning down into the car X said; "Alia, I think our 'white friend' decided to show up for this."
After he spoke he heard over the limousine's radio a voice he had only heard a few times.
"You didn't think I wouldn't come to your wedding did you? That's okay; I tend to make myself unavailable. Congratulations you two. I doubt that you will see me anytime soon, if ever. You have found your futures. Now, X and Alia live life; as I find my own."
X tried to contact him and when he felt he had the correct frequency he and Alia said together; "Farewell Omega."
X sat next to Alia, shut the door and rode off to their next adventure.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Time has given the date of X and Alia's wedding numerous titles including
'the day of soul union', 'the true Valentine's day', 'the Second Valentine's day',
'day of love' among many others. It has also become a day that for weddings, even more popular than Valentine's Day.

The Mother Elf had become attached to X after he used her power to destroy the
pure form of the Zero Virus. From time to time, it would appear before X and just, merely speak to him.

Omega would eventually find his path; however, his suffering and searching would take countless years. He would find himself eventually; who he truly was.

The National Conference would continue to ask Blitzkrieg to speak at the ensemble.
However, only rarely would they agree to do so. They had found what they had been searching for all of the time.

Dr's. Gate and Doppler would eventually form a laboratory that was independent of
their work with Blitzkrieg. However, Blitzkrieg would remain apart of their lives.
Dr. Gate would later further develop with the aid of Dr. Doppler Alia's Cyber-Elf program. In time, cyber-elves became their most important research. The other division that became vital was Dr. Gate's continuing resurrection research. Their institution would have numerous students pass through it, both Human and Reploid. By 21XX A.D. it was the leading institution for both Reploid and Cyber-Elf research.

Blitzkrieg became the 'Maverick Hunters'. However, since Mavericks had become extremely rare they had little hunting to do. As the local police had little trouble stopping a 'Maverick' never were their services required again. But, they would remain together nevertheless. The rare Maverick that had enough power to cause damage would inexplicably be destroyed before Blitzkrieg would be notified. The Maverick's shell would either have large saber slashes, be totally destroyed, or hit by a powerful plasma cannon shot. Strangely enough, there were no sightings of the one who destroyed the Maverick. However, in criminal society rumors spread of a 'White Demon'. A 'demon' that wielded an unusual sword and used a powerful cannon… The demons piercing blue eyes were; as the rumors stated, the most terrifying part of the demon.

"I love you Alia." X said as his wife snuggled up next to him that night.
"I love you too." She replied.
He wrapped his arms around her and knew he wouldn't trade her for the universe.
All was truly well.
