Mega Man X Chaos
Chapter 19
World War IV
"What is the progress on it?"
"Lord Sigma it is a masterpiece! It is practically invincible! Omega-1, my master is more than a match for them. It has only one drawback…"
"What is that?"
"If someone can kill it then we will have to start all over from scratch…"
"Because of his human qualities?"
"Yes. Unlike a Reploid; if he is slain he cannot be 'brought back'."
"It doesn't matter. He is powerful enough to overcome the problems of X and Zero… After that it doesn't matter if it lives or not."
"I understand master."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Omega rubbed his forehead. Again he saw the one who had mutated him. He wasn't human anymore… Where did he belong? Omega smiled to himself wryly. He had no where to call his own. Humans were not intended to live forever in a state like this…With death and pain… He had to face it until the end or until the darkness in the world finally drove him insane.
"What purpose do I have?" He asked of the uncaring sky.
It didn't answer. He hadn't really expected it to anyways… He was forged of flesh and steel, computer and cells and cursed to live a life where he could never belong…. Sigma did tell one truth though… He was nothing more than an abomination…

"Welcome back X." Zero greeted him as he arrived.
"Thanks, Zero."
"Hey welcome back leader! ….Oh hi Alia."
"Axl…"
"I know that you hate being called leader day in and day out but it is just too much fun to resist!" Axl grinned at him.
"No it isn't that Axl. It is the fact that I am wondering if you will ever grow up." X retorted. However, he was smiling.
"We need to get out of the doorway X." Alia reminded him.
"Right." X agreed and they moved into the living room.
"X welcome back. Hmmm….. You have the look of one who has learned much."
"Perfect timing as always Gate." Alia smiled at him.
"What did he learn?" Gate asked intently.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Zero… My masterpiece."
"Huh who are you?"
"After him… Our rivalry is what gives me motivation in life! Now go; destroy him! That's an order!"
"Huh? Wait!...Arrgh!...Au ahhh!!!" Zero collapsed to his knees and held his head.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Zero suddenly awoke.
"The same dream… again…."
He sighed. He thought that he had erased his past. But, years later the dreams haunted him once more….
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Signas I understand your situation but, what am I supposed to do?"
"X do you need more allies?"
"I see now. Very well you can tell your troops there that they have been accepted into the preliminaries of Blitzkrieg."
"What does that mean?"
"It is simple really. We need to know their capabilities. This means that while they have been accepted we still need to see what they can and cannot do so we don't put them into situations that are 'over their heads'."
"You sound like you did during the second Maverick war. You will do fine."
"Huh? You mean that HQ has recordings of the-?"
"Meetings? Yes and they recorded you word for word too."
"Great…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"This is Josel reporting live at West Point. The MHRB has suddenly declared an all out indiscriminate assault against the organization Blitzkrieg. In other words they will attack anything that moves until Blitzkrieg is destroyed. Maverick Hunter and MHRB forces are being organized even as we speak. Due to the surprising announcement the HLA has announced that it will remobilize to counter the MHRB and Hunter forces. Bluntly put, World War Four is about to begin… Reports are flooding in of Reploids and Humans offering their assistance to either Blitzkrieg or the HLA. The MHRB has an estimated standing force of well over one trillion troops on each continent. This is comparable to the HLA's announced amassed five trillion human soldiers in just China Also, in a number of rebellions are erupting against the dual government system and the single nation ideology. The rebellions support multiple nations and propose countries from the distant past be brought back. The first nation to begin to be reborn is none other than the famed superpower from the past; The United States of America. Other nations soon followed. Other nations that are trying to be reborn are: Great Brittan, France, China, Russia, Israel, and a number of South American nations as well. Experts have already calculated the deaths of this upcoming war to be over nine trillion Humans and Reploids… This is approximately three fourths of the planets population… The first three world wars combined will pale in comparison to this one… Even World War Three; the Nuclear War will have nothing on a war of this level…. However, the trillions of troops that the MHRB has makes one wonder… How long had they been amassing troops? Is Blitzkrieg actually Maverick or a scapegoat that the MHRB used to justify their actions? What made the Grand General of the MHRB go ballistic? This is Josel reporting for ANN. May God watch over us…………………

Two Days Later….
"This is Josel reporting live at West Point which has fallen into U.S. hands. I have been given the opportunity to speak to the rebel leader of the United States. Sir, why have you thrown your lot in as an insurrectionist against the global government?"
"I have read about the Nation that used to exist here and my very blood is American. The U.S. means a great deal to me. I have a vision of a nation that retains it former size, and glory. This may not be a birth of a nation but a revival of a nation nevertheless it is still an important task to us."
"The U.S. had an immense amount of debt almost all of its life. This is why they agreed to be absorbed into the dual government. How will the U.S. survive on its own?"
"The region that is U.S. territory has vas amounts of natural resources and we don't need fossil fuels like our ancestors. We will survive without too much difficulty."
"What about your allies?"
"I will concede that the UK has difficulties ahead as will France and Russia. South American nations should be able to get by until their economies are stronger. China's largest problem is its immense population density. This will make it harder for them…"
"The U.S. isn't small anymore either Commander."
"True and while New York City and Washington D.C. are the largest cities in the world they are only two cities. China has the third to tenth largest cities in its boarders…."
"But what advantages do you have against the HLA and the MHRB?"
"I'm sorry but that is military information which I cannot reveal."
"I understand."
"Thank you."

Three Days Later…
"Omega thanks for turning up for the conference call."
"You are welcome X. Besides, we have a war to stop."
"Right. Zero, Axl, Omega, Signas, Alia, Palette, Layer…Everyone…. I have called for this meeting because of the War that has begun. Already twenty thousand casualties have been announced in two days of fighting… We must stop this insanity! I plan to lead a strike force to strike the MHRB's Grand General. If we can do this it should cripple the MHRB and Hunter forces. Then, we will hack into the MHRB data bases and find out what is going on… Meanwhile Signas, Gate and Iris will work to prepare the Former Hunters at our base. Signas you need to give the troops advanced combat and analysis training. Gate you will aid in the equipping of the troops and Iris will be another combat specialist to aid you both as well as giving analysis training to the very best of the Navigators…. Sorry about ordering your girlfriend around Zero." X faintly smiled.
"You are going to be answering to both of us after this X." Zero replied.
"Alright. I can assume that the strike force knows who they are."
"Yes. Now when will we execute the MHRB counter strike plan?" Omega asked.
"Tonight, as soon as we are armed and equipped. Omega, meet us at Checkpoint Alpha to begin. Will you need anything?" X asked.
"A new sub-tank, mine was destroyed during one of my missions."
