Tsukasa: This is a re-posting of a fic from my main profile on this one. A couple of reasons for this would be:
A, Almost all my video game stuff is here anyway and
B, I felt like it
B isn't a good reason, but there you go. Reminder from Chapter 1: I will be posting up through chapter four in one go as I already have the X arc written.
Project X
Disclaimer: Mega Man and Everything else I reference belong to Capcom and their various owners. However, I own Xavier (well mostly), Zack (who I hope won't end up a Gary Stu), and my next Dr. Light (who I hope won't turn into a Sue)
Chapter 4: The start of something new
21XX
Dr. Cain had discovered a buried laboratory. What's more was there was a very good possibility that it was Dr. Light's! There was one snag, if they found anything they'd have to tell the owner of the property. At the moment he didn't know whose property it was.
"Check the database for me." he asked an assistant as he had the digging robots excavate E-46 further. After hours of watching the robots dig his assistant came back.
"Dr. Cain sir! We found the owners and you won't believe who it is." said the assistant holding up the data pad. Dr. Cain's jaw dropped. It listed a Dr. T.X. Light as the owner. And this was not the 20XX listing of it was of a current T.X. Light whose PhD was in robotics.
"Shall I call them?" asked the assistant.
"Yes, by all means he said. The assistant left. Ten minutes later they returned.
"She's on her way." the assistant said.
The current Dr. T.X. Light had been working on her latest project whenever her personal secretary entered.
"The assistant to a Dr. Cain called, they might have found your ancestor's laboratory." they said.
"Thanks Ceil." said Dr. Light setting down her tools. The unit would take a little while longer. She exited the lab and hopped on a motorbike and zipped off into the distance. She hoped they had found the secret lab of her ancestor. Maybe his work could show her she was working in the right direction. She reveled in the simplicity of life whenever she rode her bike. It drove her uncle nuts because it was so dangerous.
'He only cares because without me Light Industries wouldn't have its customary 'Dr. Light' as CEO.' she thought bitterly. Her uncle had pushed her from a young age to excel.
She arrived and parked her bike near the other vehicles, it had taken several hours, air transport would have been faster but she preferred the feel of her bike on the road.
"Who are you?" asked a guard.
"Dr. Light." she said.
"You're Dr. Light?" he asked.
"It's my gender isn't it?" she said when she knew the real reason. She was 14 and looked 8. This she hated very much. She had to modify her motorbike so she could drive it.
"How old are you little girl? Seven?" he said laughing, "Where are you parents?"
"SEVEN! I'M FOURTEEN EVEN IF I DON'T LOOK IT AND MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!" yelled Dr. Light. Her youthful appearance was a sore spot for her. She pulled out her identification. The guard disengaged the security fields and she strode through angrily.
'Dr. Cain isn't expecting that.' thought the guard as the diminutive scientist disappeared from his line of sight.
Dr. Cain was in the buried laboratory whenever he heard a scuffling noise. He saw a rope hit the floor and a small form lower their self down the rope.
'Is the current Dr. Light old and frail?' he wondered. Then the figure stepped into the light and he stared a long time. It looked like a child playing dress up. The figure was a girl that much was clear. She had on loose jeans and a gray t-shirt under a small tailored lab coat. Her thick black hair was tied up into a pair of buns on top of her head with pig tails trailing down. Her blue eyes held an intelligence he did not expect to see in someone so young.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Dr. Cain?" asked the girl, her voice older sounding than he expected.
"Yes and you are?" he asked.
"Dr. T. X. Light." she said.
"You're Doctor T. X. Light?" he questioned then his assistant's voice rang back in his memory,
'She's on her way.' That still didn't mean this little girl was Dr. Light.
"You can't be, you're only a child." he said. Her eyes narrowed.
"I'm fourteen!" she yelled. "I'm not a child!"
"Fourteen, that's an adult." said Dr. Cain sarcastically.
"How old were you when you got your doctorate?" asked the girl.
"Thirty." he said.
"I was only eight! My uncle forced me through an accelerated program. I was forced to grow up very quickly. Don't call me a child!" she yelled.
"Do you have identification?" Dr. Cain asked. The girl glared and pulled out her identification.
It read:
Tsukina Xavia Light
Age: 14
Gender: F
Height: 4'8
Weight: 80 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
And there was a security pass for Light Industries stating that this girl really was the CEO, one Dr. T. X. Light.
"Dr. Light, I apologize. I wasn't expecting-," he began.
"Save it. You're not the first and you won't be the last." said Dr. Light. She walked to the edge of the light and pulled out a small light and looked around.
"Wow." she said. She walked around the destroyed room. Dr. Cain too looked around. "We have a picture of this place." said Dr. Light. "It has the original T.X. Light and his most famous creation in the picture though."
"Mega Man? There is a photo of him?" Dr. Cain asked in awe.
"Yes. He really was the Blue Bomber." she said poking around a head of Dr. Cain.
"What the?" she said. Dr. Cain caught up and in a more intact portion of the room was a large capsule. She searched it and found an old data disk. She pulled out her data pad and had it scanned. The blue print that it showed her made her gasp. She showed it to Dr. Cain.
"My word!" he said.
"I know, but there are some files corrupted, I hope it isn't important." she said. She looked at the dimensions for the blue print and then at the capsule. She walked over to it and saw it had a computer display next to it. She blew the dust off the key pad and touched it. The capsule came to life. She backed away, her hand hitting the keypad. The random numbers she hit made it turn on all the sensors surrounding the device. It was doing a check list of sorts.
Then the capsule opened, revealing a humanoid figure covered in blue armor.
Dr. Light gasped and walked forwards to see a larger version of the blue bomber, he was hooked up to multiple wires and he looked asleep. She leaned over him and was surprised to see he was breathing.
"Oh my!" she gasped and then a pair of neon green eyes shot open locking with her ice blue ones.
"Wh-who are you?" he whispered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX x XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Darkness was all he knew. Then he was awakened by a girl's voice saying,
'Oh My!' upon opening his eyes he saw a semi familiar face looking down at him with unmistakable ice blue eyes. They grabbed at him but he couldn't remember why. Nor could he remember anything else for that matter. A named floated about, it was
X-something.
"Wh-who are you." he said, barely at a whisper. The girl looked very young, maybe nine years old. She had thick black hair piled into buns on her head, and a round face with eyes that were slightly slanted, hinting at some Oriental heritage, she had a small frame and was wearing a perfectly tailored labcoat with a t-shirt, the rest he couldn't see on account of his supine position.
"I'm Tsuki Light." she said. Light, that was familiar too. A face came to his mind, a face with a long white beard and the exact same ice blue eyes. He also wore a lab coat.
'Dr. Light; that was what he was called.' he remembered and an older woman with white hair and brown eyes also called Dr. Light, but she had worn scrubs.
"What are you called?" she asked. He thought for a while trying to grab that 'X' name.
"I, I can't remember." he said.
"Remember? You were activated before this point?" asked Tsuki.
"Activated?" he asked.
"What we call turning a robot on for the first time." said Tsuki.
"I am not a robot." said he. That much he did know.
"He's not, Dr. Light, look! Some of these systems are life support." said a man's voice. He sat up to see a middle aged man pointing to some screens.
"Dr. Light?" he asked. Tsuki nodded,
"I'm actually Dr. Tsukina Xavia Light." she said shrugging.
'Xavia sounds familiar.' he thought.
"What is he then?" asked Tsuki (Dr. Light).
"A cyborg. Cyborg X." he said as a shadow of a memory came to the surface, and he knew with chilling certainty it was correct.
Tsukasa: And that's where I'll leave this for now
