#MMX Fan Fics

[kessielrg]

The Tumblr people voted, so here it is! One of my favorite moments between X and Aero has been podficced- and I had a lot of fun with Aero and Zero's back and forth too!

[afniel]

me: I am going to write a little fanfic out of this dream I had with funny little robot guys.

me, but 19k words later: girl help I am exploring themes of disability, chronic pain, ableism, subculture, systemic oppression, PTSD, aging, neurodivergence, community, forgiveness, healing, and recovery. with funny little robot guys.

[lanatusnebula]

Well clearly I am confused.

[sueanoi-mmx]

Taicom wont write DMC collab story so I did it myself.

Stage is the front of DMC pizza shop.

RiCO starts talking (where are we blablabla),

Virgil-Zero appears. He said he's looking for X.

Rico asked when/where did he last see him

Zero carefully said X wasn't himself. And he's worried that the data mix is doing something to him more than just his looks. They were recently attacked by "mavericks" (demon costume) and X shot them down with disturbing glee. He took off while Zero was busy with a fight. And Zero felt that X is either in danger, or IS a danger.

RiCO expressed worry. Promised to help him find X.

Zero expressed relief. Said he trusts the Player to be able to hold his own. He takes off.

RiCO talk a little more and the game start.

We fight hordes of demon-mavericks as we progress the stage.

Mid-stage dialogue. We heard X "gleefully" shooting demon mavericks. RICO is a little scared and said we should find Zero and tell him where X is.

but of course the stage progresses, and we find Dante-X in the boss room.

X doesn't sound hostile, but he asked us for a spar. As he confessed this thirst for combat wasn't satisfied by those weak mavericks.

We kick his handsome behind.

Vergil-Zero appears.

Zero asked what X is feeling. Is he still itching for violence? Can he help?

X said he got it out of his system cause Player is Just That Good.

Zero said X made him worried sick, he thought he had to "fulfill that promise". And he's terrified.

RiCO said once the data is corrected X should feel like himself again. So Zero doesn't have to worry about "fulfilling that promise".

They thanked her and the player for the help and leave.

RiCO talks to player a bit more about "That Promise"

and the stage ends.

The twitter thread is here

Deleted scenes for the stupid fic I'm writing, yeah it's Miku in MMX world ahahaha....reason for deleting is that I realized Zero won’t need Axl bribing him to do his job, Zero is an admirable hunter~

---

“So in other words, an undercover mission,” X concluded, and Signas nodded in agreement.

Zero scowled. “I don’t like this kind of mission; it’s troublesome.”

At this, Axl leaned in and whispered something to Zero, who listened intently, then his eyes lit up.

“Alright, I’ll do my best.” The red hunter finally said, X and Signas looked at Axl in amazement.

When the meeting was over, X caught up to Axl.

“What did you tell Zero to make him change his mind?”

Axl grinned and held up a victory sign, “I just told him it’s a chance to see you in normal clothes,” his grin grew bigger, “And if we catch the criminal fast, you two can use the remaining time together, I’ll handle the paperwork.”

X coughed into his curled fist in embarrassment, the “secret” that he and Zero dating, it seemed everyone knew.

Then he raised an eyebrow, although it was hidden by the helm of his helmet, “Isn’t that strange, you hate paperwork, why are you sacrificing so much for this?”

“Ahaha,” Axl laughed, scratching his head, “To tell the truth, I’m a big fan of Miku! I’ve been wanting to attend her concert but you know how busy our work is.” X nodded in agreement, personally he and Zero had not had time for a date in a long time.

“This is a chance for me to finally join her concert and I might get to see her up close, isn’t that awesome?! Maybe I can also ask for her autograph!”

X finally gave a small smile, “I thought you said Zero and I were your idols?” He knew he should chide Axl for bringing personal matters into their job but he knew Axl and Zero would not let their personal needs interfere with the mission, so what came out of his mouth was a teasing instead.

“Well, you two are, but it’s Miku! She owns the world!”

A brief rant on Rogue and Gambit volume 2, now that we are past issue 2.

Exactly WHO is this book for?

I honestly don't know.

I don't get the angle this book is taking and why anyone would think THIS is what fans of Rogue, Gambit or both characters would want.

They are both coming off as complete and utter assholes.

Rogue is a cold, mean, emotionally abusive bossy workaholic with no empathy or sense of fun.

Gambit is a hapless, charmless incompetent drunk with apparently no regard for the safety of innocent lives now ... so that's new I guess along with being a drunk.

This writer gives us almost nothing playful or cute between them, only biting words and very few of them at that. No thought bubbles either. So very little actual story.

Where is any of the banter or flirting or charm that has characterized them for nearly 30 years? Where is any sense of fun or emotional depth?

Then suddenly they go from being completely cold to each other to completely hot ... and we basically totally skip the hot part? WHY?!? On what planet is THAT the part you smash cut out?! So yes, sex in the desert and then right back to arguing. That's how that works ... said no one who has ever had sex. (And for those whining, desert sex would be better than freezing cold cave sex actually. )

Otherwise there is one more tiny awkward moment of connection when they dance, only to interrupt it for the stupid hero misunderstanding fight with BP that frankly we are all VERY sick of. It's a tired trope. Please stop it. It's illogical. It's dumb. No.

Honestly I could not care less about this plot with the kidnapped mutants. Really kind of a copy off the volume 1 plot tbh, but far less interesting.

Then the worst crime ... having Gambit put an innocent woman in harms way for a diversion. Something he has never done before nor that I can buy. It was so badly out of character that it's just plain character assasination at this point. Just what his character needed, more abuse by another writer. And honestly, Rogue goes along with it despite complaining so she's truly being an asshole too. She's not off the hook.

This is a relationship story that needed a chisel to smooth over the Excalibur/KoX damage and instead they came at it with an pickaxe. There is no nuance. No subtlety.

I really don't get when writers take the "let's make everyone terrible" angle for a story as if that's what would bring any fan of any character that they love enjoyment or lure in new fans. Yes ... it's just SO great to pay nearly $5 just to experience your favorite characters being truly their worst selves? Thanks, I guess? But I surely could have found a hate-fic for free, you know. It burns all the more after sitting through several years of similarly unenjoyable writing just prior to this. The Krakoan era has sucked big time for Romy fans.

Even if you compare this mini to the short piece from X-Men that Duggan wrote that supposedly inspired this series, that Rogue and Gambit were in synch and charming and fun together. Cracking jokes. Rogue in sunglasses and bringing cake. Fighting side-by-side. Not making snide comments at each other.

And this isn't even some slightly juvenile but charming trashy fun in the way that X-Terminators was or one of those classic loveable losers type stories, where sure ... the characters are all pretty flawed but they still have true heart.

This Rogue and Gambit don't have that heart.

At this point I'm past mad. I'm just disappointed. Especially after the abysmal last few years for them.

Put this characterization up against how they are being written in Captain Marvel or X-Treme X-Men right now and it's just night and day. Those writers treat them both with so much respect and show them respecting each other.

Can the editors and writer not tell the difference between normal marital strife and dangerously toxic, emotionally abusive behavior?

Where is the beautiful emotional intelligence of R&G volume 1 or MMX?

Also ... THREE "mon cheri" usages?! Just no. NO. Stop that. WHY?!?!

I have been reading these characters for decades and this was just ... 🤦‍♀️

It has to get better. It literally cannot get much worse.

[megaman-r]

It's been quiet! So, what's gotten done lately?

Well, first of all I keep writing really complicated novel-length MMX fic instead...which isn't making my other hobbies go any faster...sweats profusely.

But anyway!

Roll can die from taking damage.

Of course, this makes her lose a life.

She'll respawn at the start of a stage...

...Unless she's hit a checkpoint, in which case, she'll respawn from there instead.

And if Roll runs out of lives, you go to the game over screen.

From there you can choose to continue from the start of the same stage...

Or you can go back to the stage select.

(Or, technically, you can quit to desktop.)

So yeah, basic expected gameplay loop functionality, more or less. Doing all this from scratch is a lot more involved than it sounds like, though. There's a perfectly good Game Maker setup for making Mega Man fan games, aaaaand I'm not using that engine so it's basically useless to me and I started from quite literally nothing instead. Figuring it all out by myself instead took a long time and a lot of rubber ducking.

On top of that, Pixel Game Maker MV is, as I've learned the hard way, very tetchy about handling load/save operations, and I couldn't figure out why it was refusing to save checkpoints properly until I figured it out: the version I'm using for my dev environment will only succeed at a single file operation per runtime action. Any others in the same runtime action will silently fail. That was hours of trial and error to figure out why it was failing to write save files, but only about half of them, for no apparent reason. But it's been troubleshooted! Troubleshot? Whichever. It works now! It's actually been a huge hurdle.

All the Robot Master boss music exists, too, which is pretty cool. The first iteration accidentally sounded like John Cena's theme, which was, uh. Funny as heck, but not intended. So I went back and made that not be the case, though that means that the SiIvaGunner joke of remixing tracks to be John Cena's theme and saying they're an alpha version is not even a joke here, it's literal. That is a real thing that happened and I didn't even realize it until someone in the dev Discord pointed it out.

Next on the roadmap is getting individual file save slots functional. Checkpoints and level start actually use save files as well; they're just temporary, and the engine deletes and recreates them pretty frequently to avoid buggy shenanigans. I'd like to be able to display at least basic save file information on each save slot, so I'll need to figure out how that works and what that screen should look like. Games will autosave on the stage select screen, though you can always clear a slot manually to start a new game. Very SNES kind of system.

After that's all implemented and debugged, I can probably start thinking about actual playable content, since that wraps up the vast majority of the UI. Good thing, too, because I actually kind of hate working on UI. 🥲 It's a necessary evil, though, and I think it'll be a pretty alright UI when it's finished. Nothing groundbreaking, but does a classic-style Mega Man game need a groundbreaking menu? I think probably it doesn't, and I can save my energy for the gameplay.

[radix-outpost]

I think the worst kind of "burst of ADHD-addled need to find certain things" is hitting a brick wall almost immediately because [thing] has been thoroughly memory-holed.

Today, it's the Megaman X fic/fan concepts of Ryunosuke Kayama, webmaster of "Codename Yoshi"/"Virtual Study Desk"; he's the originator of certain bits of old MMX fanon, mostly surnames (if you ever saw older fans referring to Zero as "Zero Omega", that's why). Kayama's "Rockman X Final" would've seen X and Zero take on the Redbird Corporation, led by a human named Alexandra Buckner who desires to retake the world from Reploids; her all-female troupe served as the standard eight bosses.

Interesting stuff. Unfortunately, there's a ton of images that didn't get archived, with a few URLs pointing to the dreaded Archived Error Message. Searching for any mention of VSD got me absolutely nothing.

So I'm hoping that someone who saved all of Kayama's art will see this post and undo this bit of Internet-based entropy.

[being-so-normal-about-reploids]

Hi. This is Nevi's side blog where I quarantine my funny little robot guys Hyperfixation + Special Interest Wombo Combo because otherwise it would take over all of my main blog @afniel though it does that too a little bit so you can see it's really working...lmao.

Mostly reblogs, mostly classic Mega Man and Mega Man X, but I'll make exceptions for other really good video game robots (looking at you Gravity Circuit) and there's some scattered original stuff.

There's a Mega Man fan Discord now too if you wanna come hang out with us!

I also write, which is a surprise to me but I keep doing it so it must be true. (I tend to put more writing stuff on my main blog, under the tag #Nevi Writes, because I've got 1700 followers there compared to mumbletymumble here...) I authored the Every End A Beginning MMX alternate timeline, which asks,

What if the games did stop after X5 as originally intended?

What if the War ended and X finally had to confront the fact that he was essentially a child soldier, carrying the entire would on his shoulders his entire long life because he was told nobody else could do it?

What if he eventually became a burnt-out, disabled veteran who never really learned how to relate to anyone or process anything he went through?

What if he did learn, because the sun doesn't stop coming up and it's never too late to start, and despite all the grim setup, it was actually a story about healing and self-acceptance?

What if Capcom took any of their worldbuilding seriously and actually thought things through for a goddamn change, but they won't, so I did instead?

>E.04642-SYS: Failure to compile. is the first fic, which is finished and uploaded and clocks in at a long-novel-length ≈165k words. The second, >W.09880-INT: Outcome unpredictable., is also done now! It's not meant to be a trilogy (I tell myself, repeatedly and pointedly) it's a goddamn trilogy. Third is in progress. It's also illustrated! :D New art gets added as it happens.

Anyway that's the deal. Enjoy.

The Crimson Doctor And A Patient ((POV Revamped))

((Heyo, ladies and gents! Tina here once again for a special surprise! Since last April, I've hatched an idea to write a steamy fanfic for the ladies out there whose love for the saber wielding crimson refuses to be silenced. And here it is! Just had to fix the mistakes to make it very clear for y'all. 😅 But anywho, this story takes place in the Abel City Medical Center where a young human woman was summoned by a mysterious physician due to the note. Holding a special surprise supplement for her. So, without further ado, please enjoy the novel! 😊))

Pairing: Zero/Human Reader

Franchise: Megaman X

Location: Abel City

Daylight made its brightening occurrence to reveal a healthy smile upon the town of Abel City, homeland to the freedom fighting organization known as the Maverick Hunters who clash against unruly tyrants such as mavericks, with an unreasonable desire to do as they please like creating felonies on purpose without practicing the apologetic act or clemency towards humans. Lead by the previous commander, Sigma, wielding a soon-to-be dream of hoping for a perfect future when all of humanity has become swept out of Earth, leaving the powerful reploids to rule alongside him with an iron grasp without anyone to stop this nightmare.

Until luckily, his schemes have yet again become silenced from the duo of upper class hunters X and Zero to restore peace by defeating him multiple times despite of the resurrection, putting an end to the maverick skirmish for good. No matter how unstoppable his power will be, companionship will always overdraw brawns.

Today is yet a lovely morning to enjoy life accompanying both humans as well as reploids together in existence, never the matter of differences. Birds tweeting in a cheery tone helping to rise up the evening mood, clear breeze easing away all stress penetrating inside the bodies, and the perfect balance between man plus robot will always be much more peaceful than it was in the past. Life for this city along of its inhabitants, is what makes it ever so graceful as it is now.

You, a young human woman, are enjoying yourself to learn more about this city,  since the first time arriving here to meet everyone, including the famous irregular slayers themselves in the flesh. While strolling throughout this section for a further enjoyment of a lifetime, a tall but familiar figure in red with golden locks tied in a ponytail gazes at your presence since he walked past you minding his own business, which cause him to stop for a moment.

Not realizing about this person before yet finds her rather innocent, also beautiful unlike the rest who visits his office at headquarters. Inspires nature at most, being kind to others, helping, all of these things about you have gave him a pumping love struck. But as a wonderful pill to take.

The perfect plot to gain her attention just pop up within his mind. In order for her to come towards him, he must pose himself as someone else that would actually woo her. Perhaps like a professional doctor such as Lifesaver, but as a sexy version flashing his unbeatable charms to the hearts of women. The scarlet hunter wrote down this message on a paper, quietly places it in your back pocket with a lack of notice, then beams away to his dorm for an upgradeable change of armor. Chuckling menacingly yet flirtatiously to himself at the similar time.

"Mm he he he he... Oh, this is gonna be too easy... As soon as she receives my form for tomorrow's health examination, I'm gonna give her a special present in mind for later~ Just in case that is..." He schemed quietly, clothing his wardrobe into an unlicensed love physician as well as a long white diamond colored lab coat stripped in vertical black at the bottom, along with a fluffy faux fur to suit him better.

Confiscating his upper armor part from the body, joined with losing an entire inner suit to pose as a "curing pill" should be the only powerful supplement there is to have patients fall into a hypnotic state once taken. He began to gaze to his divine reflection along of the secret "tranquilizer" to use for later. The smug expression reappears as he said... "The doctor...is in~"

The next day has occurred, you have been summoned here by a strange doctor for a visit about getting a checkup exam, due to a message given from the personal "assistant". Right in front of Maverick Hunter HQ while entering inside for an appointment today, one of the elite hunters began to escort you over to a different location by using an elevator that ascends directly to the room.

"Hello miss. I apologize for proceeding you so rudely, but the doctor wishes to see you immediately for your personal check up meeting. Please follow me to the elevator." Nodded to the respected hunter, you proceeded with him to the elevator while being escorted.

Meanwhile into the doctor's office, the other novice hunter reported that you'll be arriving very shortly to take a physics test, then an unknown medical reploid responded with a smile.

"Good. Bring her into my office." He said, spoken of an ordinary voice to him. Until secretly, it was changed into a deep seductive tone. "She's finally here~..... Perfect~..... Time for me to give my lovely patient a special treatment she'll never forget~... He he he he he~...." Underneath his snow white operation cloak, he refuses to wear his full red armor that he stripped out of but to have the briefs remain on along with the boots and helmet.

Making your way through a long hallway and appearing in an early time for the "treatment" to cure your body from illness that you don't have right now, you began to take a seat while waiting patiently for anyone to see you. Looking around this facility to keep you fully occupied would lower the boredom level to none even to ponder of your favorite spots in the park staring towards the clouds flowing by, along with spending time with your family, friends, including fun activities to do in a spare time.

Until a sudden door has opened automatically catching your attention to peer who it is that exits the other room, revealing the similar yet unknown stranger from before who mistakenly sent an invitation to your bottom pocket when you return home. Wore a long white lab coat representing a medical expert that studies the anatomy along with holding a clipboard in his hand, geared with a pair of glasses. Standing in front of the desk with his back turned while awaiting for your attendance, he greeted you with a smile.

"Ah. Good evening, young lady. I've been excepting you." A gentle voice aims forwardly to you during his existence to check on you. "Thank you for coming in with a short notice to have an appointment. How are you feeling today? Are you physically active?" You replied at his greetings by a polite nod. Even though you're not an a crucial condition, he still needs to examine your well being clearly to make sure of it.

"That's good. I see you have obtain the message that my assistant gave you at your house, correct?" Once again, you said yes. Showing the paper to him about getting a different medicine. Deep inside his mind, he's fully prepared to offer you something even more than a shot or anything else. The grin on his face made its return, meaning that you are in his trap for a romantic event to happen very soon, which you're fairly unaware of.

"Good. Very good. I'm glad to hear that you're perfectly well, my dear." Again he smiled about your clean feature. "Now then, let's begin the study for your examination about yourself along of your health. Would you prefer the normal blood/heart test? Or...." Slowly opening the long doctor's robe to reveal his stunning gorgeous abs by a flash, the visible blush shown itself into your face due to the witnessing dream before you. "Maybe I should give you.... a very sexual procedure instead~?"

Without seeing this coming, you should've realized that something was completely off about the whole "appointment meeting with the doctor" phase, has been a scam the entire time. Even to notice of his voice more carefully, it was rearranged from original to sexually deep that gave women quite the thrilling shivers. Hearing from the word "sexual" is not what a real doctor would say or has been printed into the dictionary, but surprisingly this person that said it informally who imitates as one is obviously known as....

"Hey there, kitten~ Fancy having you here~ Ya miss me~?" Removing the glasses from his face steadily to show a familiar expression, even a sexy voice shooting at you through the brain to assist your memory by remembering slowly during your later visit for a Valentine privacy, the "medical reploid" forms himself as none other than Zero. Upperclassmen of the maverick busting group organization that fights to remain balance for the city as well as the 0th unit captain.

You silently gasped by a flush, covering up your full expression due to his irresistible "operational procedure" that he plotted only for you. Approaching seductively as he goes to you with both arms hidden behind his head with a passionately flashing act licking his flawless lips in a rotating fashion, the pepper shaded swordsman grasps under your chin comely. Winking a kiss upon your head proudly to see you again for a visit by seating himself on your lap.

"He he he he~.... Glad to see your lovely mug again, my cute little patient~ How's it going~? Surprised~? You should be, cause I'm gonna cure your sickness so hard from those dull worries spinning all over your pretty mind with a special antidote to cheer you up~" He said, circling around you romantically. Very much closer than ever, his body had almost planted onto you or face, releasing the inner urges trapped within your soul slowly.

Having your soft cheeks painted of the color pink because of the medical stud flexing passionately in front of you has surrender to him very quickly. However, the strongest sense of your will accompanies you to remain calm by doing as your hot host requires you to do. Surrender yourself within his grasps is the only option acceptable to make his evening a lot easier when it comes to mute types like you.

"So~ What's shakin, dollface~? Happy to see me~? Bet you are~...." The handsome android said with an attractive spell waiting for anyone such as yourself to become its victim. "Guess you're wondering why the note I send ya about a serious checkup wasn't a real one, right~?  Well, that's correct~ You may already know, but it was me all along~" The flustered gasped must've escaped from your mouth after his confessions. Slightly bamboozled of his plans, but have understood it very positively with an apologetic flush.

"Awww~ Thanks for forgiving me, sweetheart~" Grinned the flamed colored love doctor, smooching your forehead to accept your apology. "Though it was kinda devious of me to trick you like that, I'm still glad you're not upset about the false appointment~ Now, how about we start our own private meeting alone~? With me, holding you in my decent arms~ In my medical lair~ Together~...."

Hands placed upon your shoulders quite so calmly, one knee landed onto yours caused your entire anatomy to burst into the shady burn of redness unlike any kind of sunlight in the summer, but a nervous highlight covers your body wholeheartedly. A replied nod answers his question has lend a satisfied smirk towards him.

"Mmmm~.... That's my patient~ Just the way I like it in a human girl~"Purred the charming expert, sitting onto your lap for a comfortable view of you, existence, the rest. Such as the preparation pouring downwards on both by his unavoidable sexiness clearing a severe fever, which you hardly gain. "Hope you're ready to have your pleasurable surgery, cause I'm gonna change your cute little life like you did mine~" You flustered yet another with a blush and very psyched at both.

"Are you excited, little lady~? From the looks of your inclinations, I'd say you are prepared for a love making check up given by yours truly~" He questions you with a finger traveling around your body, sided by his lips advancing towards the ear. Already aware of that, yes has been answered once more.

"Mmmmm~ You won't regret that choice, beautiful~ Now let's have your operation checked out~ With my....delectable tools to make it nice and painless~....."

Inside your thoughts, multiple visions about this miraculous hunk in glimmering crimson showing off his god like steel dancing erotically without an end to go by. Blowing kisses for no reason whatsoever, shushing your sadness in a minimum of his unstoppable flirts about you. Especially to a certain someone he utterly admires mostly in his dreams to help him rest peacefully at night, lowering dreadful memories of violent past back to the sewerage dump where it rightfully belongs. Never to be recognized anymore.

All that remains forever in front of him, is a ravishing angel of the heavens dragging him out of the frighten memories that would engulf his existence from the world across him. Replacing the former thoughts along with the ex irregularity days due to his beginning since he was made by the late crazed robotic scientist, Dr. Wily. Vanished from his conscious permanently with a lack of ever returning back at him.

The real focus he stares rapidly is the newly symbol of life, meaning you, rehearsing the balance to its regular rate, allowing peace to perform the rest. No more maverick infiltrations, people involved in death, either to realize about the insanely used-to-be maverick king's comeback. Just some good old fashioned treatment sucking several stresses right out of his soul. Siding with a loveable victim in his sights, pressing his "ultimate tranquil supplement" against you in a grinding position just to arouse your emotions to its knees.

"Ohhhh~... Man, you're looking pretty healthy since our last encounter in my dorm, sweetcheeks~ Have you been exercising all night~? Or are you thinking of little ol' me~...?" He was starvingly interested from your improved figure than before, despite of last month's enchanting love event which morphed his exhaustion into a craving appetite waiting to be served on a stainless golden platter. "Either way, I find it very thoughtful, but also hot~...." Two shades of red reopened themselves in your cheeks, feeling his harden yet soothing hands cushioning everywhere around you by the shoulders, chest, even your body colliding with his.

"Mmmmm~.... Even your cute little fever is smoking hot too~ But in a loving way, it always turns me on~..." Yet another, your eyes were yanked in complete shook, leading you to shed a sweating tear drop all over your clothing. Heart beating of a repeatable rhythm, hands held tightly on the chair, breath zooming right out of your yap. Unable to control yourself, he viewingly cools away your steam by speaking into your ear.

"You know~ I always love it when your nervousness impresses me~ It pours all over my succulent, gorgeous armor so nicely~ Making me a very naughty hunter wanting to be punished for being bad~" You hardly gulped while hearing his erotic sayings of himself about your shyness showering him. "But most of all~...." Shockingly, he whispers comely at you by the ear. "I'm also very~... Very~.... Straight up~.... Hungry to have you for dinner~.... Cause you look good and healthy enough to eat~.... Mmmm~...." Slurped the ruby painted blonde, without wearing his brighten armor or under clothing still.

His traveling tongue have commenced to taste some elegant skin by laying it onto your cheek, slithering up, down, the neck, anywhere but the body. He couldn't get enough of your pure sweetness, seconded to the soothing sensation of his voice entering your imaginations including to polish your dreams into reality. Pondering of his graceful anatomy washing off a few negligence torturing your goals, likings, inspirations, etc.

Gone with a single assault, no longer coming back to mind. Your urges were calling to him saying "Please don't stop~... ", or "More, daddy~...". Either way, it doesn't really matter for as long as you, an angelic patient, are into the golden locked physician's clutches, all has been going quite smoothly as he predicted.

"Ohhhhh~... Mmmmmm~... God, you taste even better than the others~ So clean, even my taste buds went totally berserk about you~" Intrigued insanely, he obtains another lick of your scarless facial religiously. Thinks of you as everyone's favorite candy that he wouldn't dare try to resist from. Eating famishingly of your creamy substance away called skin, he then sips for a deeper kiss so desperately that the new memory will last eternally.

The shading scarlet blush in your skin, shoots its volcanic blast to the skies, ascending to all the stars of space. Blinking lashes accelerated by a flicker. His breath took yours, piercing the corrupted heart of the bad odor. Slain for good to make sure it was turned to ash. Continuing his solo procedure upon the patient makes it so simple to do than an ordinary practice. Plus by this, it refers to the satisfaction of his lips advancing all over you.

"Mmmmmm~... Mmmm~..." The quiet moans glide across you while his tongue slithers across your body infinitely, purring flirtatiously. "Purrrrrrr~.... I really wanna taste you more~...."

Panting like crazy almost as "getting ready for school" reaction setting your insane inner desires free that yearns for the red charmer's fascinated treasures tangling you. Shutting down everything of your life, hobbies, friends, family relatives, including schoolwork in your head. Changing them into quadruple images of the Mars covered bad boy whistles more than one smooch clearing any kind of illness that gets in the way to live a delightful life. Slaying viruses in one strike of no problems, demolishing boredom cells damaging multiple reputations with a swooning sword.

And thirdly, a most powerful shield in history use to deflect thousands of projected allergies fired toward anyone clean from the ignorant snot of assumptions. Immune to all twisted disasters, lack of weaknesses, especially the gifted immortality to overpower any weak obstacles shooting their way. Nothing will ever penetrate his invulnerable barrier of hotness. Holding you in his arms will grow a hundred times tougher than the normal state, by purifying the tiredness you never had into a sleepless cycle of pleasure.

"Ahhhh~.... You're easily delicious when your anxious persona made my stethoscope so wet, princess~" He purred of enjoyment, rolling his pink licking buds in a circular part. "You remind me of someone I know whose also soft but compassionate~ Getting well with people, loves peace, all that~ He's an amazing partner when you get to know him~" No clue of who this person is, but you nodded towards his concern of X, blue commander of the 17th unit.

"But enough about that, let's focus on you for an example~ Like placing my chill shot in your warm heart~" He smirked purringly, rubbing his dreamy pecs in repeat followed with the bod pressing into you. A blazing blush had overtaken your emotions, thoughts and even the will to resist. Utterly lowering his head to you with a golden chance to sniff your odorless scent all over so closely, intrigued so greatly by the perfume you sprayed on yourself. "Mmmmm~..... You smell so divine, like a gorgeous little rose blooming in a garden~ It's so....kinky~...."

Attempting to flee from something incredibly challenging, he mashed the lips in yours much further. Forbidding your chances to leave out of this "predicament" so hastily, you have been carried towards the desk and pinned to the table during an infinite smooch of all time.

"Mmm~.... Sorry, doll~ But it ain't gonna be easy to escape from me since you're already sealed in my restraints~" He grinned playfully at your trapped "helplessness" in the midst of a physician/patient relationship. "So just relax, and lemme give you my.... "health shot" to ease your painful anxiety~ Very~ Very~ Slowly~....." Once again, the aired shade returns in your conscious than just a face alone. Inserting his best "shots" to freeze your movements gave him the opportunity to perform a lustful dance in order for you to give yourself up, his fingers formed into a snap to crank the sensual music.

Red lights, which match his armored attire that it was removed from yesterday, beamed all around the room when activated, desk remodeled into a comfy bed decorated only for you, an exercising pole, and of course, the cherry on top. A talented beam sword wielder proceeding to the silver pole, dancing the night, since it's daytime, in a tango by polishing his body onto it, licking, twirling so passionately, all the things he can do just to lasso your attention up to a tied position.

"Oh pussy cat~...." He called you by an alluring finger wiggling toward at your body, having the head glanced to him forwardly. However, both yourself even the desires were pierced from his tendering view as he took off his winter shaded operating faux coat slowly. Caught off guard, the only choice you have now is to witness wholeheartedly of the magnificent medicine he has kept for so long, beginning to show it by flashing more of his holy remedy before you.

"Remember when I said about my special cure that I'm gonna offer you for being a good girl~? Well, here's a special reward just for you~...." Winked the glamorous boy toy. Blushing in a harden figure, the ravishing blonde in red flexibly dances across the pole then shoots a blowing kiss. Flowing tied locks fly so freely, hands caressing on the body in a loop, makes you a little bit woozy yet in a delightful manner. Like a perfect kind of dizziness to keep you occupied. Caressing his polished crotch into a circular state secondly to please you intensively without giving up.

What you could ever dream of for the rest of your life is honestly a real thing, thus is one of the best cure that you would even ask for. Allowing his "virus" of a spell casted on your very soul to feel its sting burrowing into the bones, spreading widely as it is. Causing them to be numb, losing its control to ignore something or someone uniquely handsome such as the superior hunter. Parts of your body, in which you're controlling, are now under his dazzling influences without a strength to retaliate.

Everything within your consciousness, now belongs to him. Which means, you are his permanent plaything to pleasure with all day and night long. Imagine it, a famous sword expert embracing your innocent well being, all to himself. None for anybody to steal you from his clutches.

Concluding his delectable performance to place a peaceful birdie such as yourself to a slumbering state, the serious Class A crusader climbs onto you into a lover's bed by flatly laying against your body, in a numbing condition still, gives you once more eternal kiss.

"Thanks again, precious~ For accepting my just desserts to make this operation an easy success~" He thanks you, purring all over your anaesthetic form with a finger vertically to the lips. "I knew you'd appreciate my expertise as an unlicensed physician~... Of love~" Your smile meant with a blink since you can't move your arms, legs, especially head. Enjoyed his company to the fullest in a new and improved memory to hold in store. His grin reveals as a rotating tongue on the lips, eager to do a second examination on you to increase a hotter mood.

Closing the curtains of both windows, also the bed for a decent privacy away of the crowd. A romantic event between a doctor and patient, lady luck has always been by his side or not. But, it hardly matters for as long as you are present with the only doctor who's very great with ill patrons. As for him, the only skill he has is wooing the ladies. Much like you as well.

"So, my cute little doll, now that we're finally alone, how about another.... "secondary procedure" in secret~? Whaddya say~? Hmm~?" Prepared for more of the private procedure once again, the answer still remains the same like always. During your paralyzed fashion, he smiled seductively after his question.

"Mmmmm~ That's what I like to hear~ Now~ Where were we~? Oh yeah, the second treatment I'm gonna give you for being a good girl today~ He he he he he~" Closer yet again to your unstable state, mashing his upon yours gently, readying for a permanent kiss in the lips of all the century. While your spirit is still active, love has cured the dangerous bacteria that ruined nature's remarkable time. Especially you.

"I love you more than anyone or anything in the world, kitten~ Thanks for turning my day into a fabulous paradise~" Showing his gratitude because of your inspiration to him, he gifted you a much more longer kiss than today. Second with his body massaging your needs.

"I really love it when you're fully relaxed by my secret tranquilizer, babe~ It burns me all up, but in the sexy way~" He was once more impressed so hungrily, his finger continues to playfully curved onto you while in bed. Strapping your body down with his pinning position to begin a second round of a private operation. However, this is a lovers edition.

"Now~ Why don't you stay still for me, and lemme give you a tasty cure to aid your cold fever.....with my scrumptious body to help you feel a lot better in no time~ Meow~....."

Midnight has shown its quiet face to the city, different than the jubilated sunshine from earlier. The civilians headed home for a new starting day to appear tomorrow after a wonderful evening bringing humans, including reploids, altogether in equality just as the sapphire android whose been created by the late Dr. Thomas Light requires it. All threats as well as the maverick troublemakers from the past have all been avoided as they speak. At last for now.

So as the red tough guy enjoying his perfect off duty, comforting a special woman whose funtime had been a real supplement along with a well balanced breakfast to help the anatomy by growing big and strong. Even to make his life a living heaven than hell: You. A darling young humanitarian angel that makes everybody including the torch coated blade slasher, change from a sorrow frown into a joyful grin.

"If any of you lovely ladies like to have your personal checkup, then don't be shy to visit yours truly~ I'm always here to cure your illness anytime~ *Winks attractively*."

                                                                                                                 Dr. Zero, Crimson Maverick Hunter and Love Physician

Casually cackling at a fic I haven't looked at in years (possibly since I wrote it) and, wow, 2018 me was on a roll. I just...

"Who did this?" he fiercely questioned.

"No one." Iris insisted. "I fell while holding several stacks of paperwork; that polycarbonate stuff they use now can get pretty sharp in you turn it the wrong way."

"If this happened from paperwork, then our mother was a calculator."

I just laughed so hard you have no idea.

"X, I..." he slowly admitted, "I think I screwed up."

X put on a rather kind smile before replying, "Well, at least you're not actually a screw this time. It's much easier for me to work with."

GUYS

"I think you like her."

Something about Zero's immediate laughter made Iris's skin crawl until he suddenly stopped.

"You're… not joking. Are you?" Zero then questioned. There was something in his voice, a small thing that Iris was just barely able to detect, that seemed to have broken through the red Reploid's emotional armor. The extended silence only confirmed how serious X had been.

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!

Word Count: 33,988 in oneshot over FF.net and 30 chapters on AO3.

Content/Author Notes: Extrapolated to take place after the events of Mr&MrsX 2018 by Kelly Thompson. Inspiration taken from characters introduced in Extermination 2018 by Ed Brisson and also by the theme of the 2015 Spiderwoman by Dennis Hopeless along with several excellent CBR forum discussions and Chris Claremont's X-Men:The End & Extreme X-Men. This is a type of story I don't think Marvel would do right now for these characters or maybe ever ... at least not for quite a while anyway. And I am very okay with that! However, for some of us impatient old-timers it is fun to wonder "What If" and also if Ed Brisson is totally trolling us right now. So Ed, this one's for you! ; ) Even if you'll probably never read it. I also added a few little Easter eggs for some fellow Romy friends to enjoy. This is very fluffy and angsty, but hopefully also funny with just a touch of romance and smut (hard to avoid with these two characters). It picks up with some action and hopefully suspense about halfway through. Rated mature mainly for the little bit of smut, some strong language, and a few intense moments and depictions of violence. Just an FYI, the chapters are very short! This is attempt #2 at writing fanfic, so hopefully I learned a few things along the way. MANY MANY thanks to the very wonderful and gracious @ludi-ling for her insightful beta read!!!

Disclaimer: These characters are the property of Marvel. I'm only jumping in the sandbox to play with their toys. Not for profit!

I recommend this because @applejacks1552 is a real fan on the Romy fandom, probably you have read some of her letters on R&G and MMX and all the insight she does over Twitter. This fic is another proves of a dedicated fan doing her good research and filling the blank spaces that Marvel probably will never fill.

@mr-and-mrs-lebeau did a perfect post about all this. You can read it here.

Caption: November 17th, 9:30 AM -  NOW

-BOOM-

The Repliforce Marine Base explodes on screen as we zoom out into the room.

REPORTER: (o.s, filtered) …and here we are, witnessing this horrific scene from just moments ago…

The report turns to background noise as we pan out to see teams of Maverick Hunters buzzing about in the Common Room.

FRENZY FOXKIT: Whoooaaa!

FREEZE ALOPEX: Daaaaamn.

RHO: I can’t believe it.

JENNA: (smirking) I can…

The Common Area is a lot more crowded than usual with all of the computer networks down.  It practically seems as if nearly every Maverick Hunter is on break.

The Shinobi Hunters attentively watch the footage as everyone mills around them.

BAHENA: Wow, he really did it…

TAU: Damn right, he did.   And we'd have been there too, if our damn teleporters were working!

BAHENA: Hmph…

VENZO: We gotta get over there!!

DAISKE: (nervous) You guys really wanna go there??  I m-mean..  Zero must've finished the job.  …right?

Tau gives him a stern look.

TAU: And now he's stuck there…

VENZO: There could be others on the way. We have to go grab him.

BAHENA: Hah!  Good luck with that one.  He made his bed..  As far as I'm concerned, he can go sleep in it.

Tau, Venzo and even Daiske give her a surprised look.

Zero eagerly grins as he raises his saber and dashes over to Jet Stingray.

ZERO: Lets GO!!

JET STINGRAY: Chyeeeah!!!

Jet Stingray turbine dashes right into a tackle underwater, causing Zero to sink within the ground sand.

ZERO: Agh!

He swings in protest, catching Jet Stingray at his ankle.  

JET STINGRAY: Ah.

He flies up immediately and hovers above the surface as Zero rises from the sand.

BAHENA: (interjecting, overlapping) -and what he's doing is wrong!!

TAU: Blowing up Sydney was wrong!! What he's doing is correcting a mistake!

BAHENA: Well two Wrongs don’t make a Right!!

Bahena and Tau look at Ren, belligerently.

REN: …I have a plane!  Whoever wants to go, I can just.. Take you there.

VENZO: Thank God.

BAHENA: Nope, not going.

DAISKE: Me neither.

REN: I don’t care.  One of your own is out there and you’re not even willing to help him.  

TAU: (correcting) Two, in fact.

REN: That, to me is just really sad…

BAHENA: Ya know what happened the last time Hunters blindly followed their Leader into a War? They became known as full-on Mavericks. You want to know that Leader's name??  It was Sigma!

They all look stunned at the idea.

BAHENA: So no, I won’t be going…  And you should all consider the bigger picture too…

TAU: Well here’s the current picture.  Zero and Takuma are out there with no coms and presumably no way home.  So yeah… You'd better believe that I'm going out to pick them up.

STONE ROOK: Then what're we waiting for? Lets go get 'em!

Jet Stingray lowers himself to the water and sets a buster into his hand.

ZERO: Hm?

Suddenly, a whirlwind pulls him into Jet Stingray, like a vacuum.

ZERO: Who-oa.

JET STINGRAY: Hahahahha.  /AH!

He /punches Zero hard in the chest.

ZERO: Awgh.. /Hughh. /Nyaah…

Iris walks into Colonel's office and closes the door.

IRIS: You wanted to see me?

COLONEL: Yes. Please, have a seat.

She sits in the chair in front of his desk with a bit of a mug on her face.

COLONEL: So how long has this been going on?

IRIS: …What?

COLONEL: Don’t play DUMB with me, Sister.  YOU AND ZERO!!  How long has it been going on!??

IRIS: ..Nothing's going on.

COLONEL: DON'T LIE TO ME!!  I know how you feel about him!!

She frowns and looks away.

IRIS: N-not.. Long…

COLONEL: Hmph…   …Long enough I think.  Enough for you to Help the Enemy get into our Marine Base and take us from the inside!!!  What the Hell is wrong with you? Did you think I wouldn’t notice!!!?

IRIS: What Stingray did was wrong…

COLONEL: THAT’S not your call to make.  It was bad enough that you were fraternizing with the Enemy. Now you’re helping them!!

IRIS: They’re not the Enemy. They’re our Friends!  You used to know that…

COLONEL: Not any more they’re not! Especially now!  …What am I supposed to tell General, huh??  …I could lose you over this.

They both share a look of fear.

Zero sets his broken buster and unleashes Raijengeki on him.

ZERO: (groaning) Hhagh!

Jet Stingray stands defiantly with his hands at his hips as the attack has no effect on him.  The attack is simply deflected off of his armor with a pathetic series of *pings*.

Zero grimaces and narrows his eyes as he pulls his saber back.  His eyes glow light pink for a second as he tries something different.  He dashes over to Jet Stingray and his saber glows pink, in a move reminiscent to that of Slash Beast.  He instinctively slashes Jet Stingray in the gut mid-dash.

JET STINGRAY: Guuuaaaaaahhhhh.

Highly, effected Jet Stingray spurts out blood from the wounded gash in his stomach.

Zero stands right before him with a dark grin and cuts him with a 3-hit combo that he has become more skilled at.  Down, across and then a much stronger slash down.

JET STINGRAY: (hurt) Aughh..ught.

Zero grins.

ZERO: Finally…

Iris looks around the room as she mulls over some ideas.

IRIS: Tell him…  Tell him.. He made me.  That I had no other choice…!

Colonel's eyes become wide.

COLONEL: Now you’re lying?  You are Astounding, Sister!  You’re in so deep that you have no idea what to do.

IRIS: No, I don’t…  I just want this all to end…  Please help, brother.

COLONEL: I won’t.

IRIS: Please!  I Love him.

COLONEL: Don’t say that!!

I do! I do!! Please don’t let this go on any more.  Don’t let any one else get hurt because he's Not going to stop and you know that.

She starts to become misty eyed.

COLONEL: Well neither will I…

IRIS: Pleeeease…

She sniffles and lets out some pure tears as she mopes with a pitiable frown.

Colonel's heart melts at the sight of her.

COLONEL: (Softer) Do you know why we're not giving up, Sister?  …Its because in our hearts, we know this is the right thing to do.

IRIS: (annoyed) What is!?

COLONEL: Gaining our own Independence.  To disassociate ourselves with those Murderous Maverick Hunters, and the word 'Maverick' altogether.  For we are the Repliforce.  We have to prove that we're better!

Iris' eyes widen, astonished as she comes to a light epiphany

IRIS: Then lets be, better…!

COLONEL: I want to help build us a Utopia.  Where only Reploids can exist in peace and harmony.

IRIS: We can all work towards this together.  Just meet with him, pleeease.  Just talk…  And then we can figure all this out.

COLONEL: Hmph…  There’s nothing I can do to stop you, is there..? You’re still going to hang around Zero.

IRIS: (stubborn, laughing) Ah-ha.. Yep.

She wipes away a tear as she lightly smiles.

COLONEL: You’re my sister. I won’t condemn you…  But the Repliforce won’t stand for treason either…  So here’s what we're going to do.

Her face brightens.

COLONEL: Get him on your com-link and we can have a conference call with him right now.

IRIS: Well that’s the thing. I kinda can't...

He cricks his neck, annoyed.

COLONEL: I know you feel strongly about this mission, but now is Not The Time to PROTECT H-

IRIS: Damn it, Cal! That isn’t it.

He widens his eyes, stunned by her anger.

Takuma deals with the swarm of Poseidons outside, but they keep coming.  Panting and sweating, he continues to swing his hammer.

TAKUMA: AAAAAAGH! Haaaah!!  Come Onnn.

He bashes another wave of Poseidon Clones as he looks out at the clearing of the sea at the end of the rigging.

A group of Hornet Riders have just arrived.

HORNET 1: Heheheh..  Well, well boys.  Looks like it's pay back time.

HORNET(S): Yeah, yeah!

TAKUMA: Ohh nno…

He grips his T-Breaker tightly and holds the long handle of his hammer up to his face.

IRIS: (o.s, v.o) Their teleporters aren't working right now...  They can't even com-link to each other!  

-pan to-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXT. OCEAN PORT – Hiding Place – DAY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beyond the gate, Zero and Jet Stingray remain engaged in their struggle.

COLONEL: (o.s, v.o) Hmph!  So that’s why you’re here…  You really did bring them in…

Jet Stingray grows irate as he launches himself out of the water again in a fury.

JET STINGRAY: Chyeeeaah!!!

Zero dashes back and carefully watches his opponent's movements.

Jet Stingray dives after Zero, who narrowly dodges with a dash and cuts him at the left leg.

JET STINGRAY: Aughh.

He rises above the water from the other side, favoring his bloody leg.

IRIS: (o.s, v.o) I'm sorry brother…  I just want to end this. And Stingray needs to pay for his crimes.

Jet Stingray shoots out more blue and red ground hunters from his buster.  The blue ones crawl down to the surface and travel to his feet, while the red ones attack from directly above his head.

COLONEL: (o.s, v.o) AGAIN!  That was NOT the way to do it, and it was NOT your call!!!

Zero slices all of them and protects himself.

While he is distracted, Jet Stingray dives right into him and bashes him against the wall.

JET STINGRAY: Aaaagh!

ZERO: Kaaugh.  AAAAAGH!!!!

He tilts his saber upside down, and stabs him in the back from both hands.

JET STINGRAY: (bleeding) KRRAAAAAGH!!!!

IRIS: (cowering, scared) I'm sorry, Brother!!

He takes a moment to collect himself as he continues to look at her with a gruff face.

COLONEL: …You are going to head back to Maverick Hunter Headquarters and deliver a message for me when he arrives.  Is that clear?

IRIS: …If he arrives you mean…

She frowns.

He smiles.

COLONEL: You put yourself in this position, Sister. Not me.

IRIS: I wouldn’t have to, if you would just cooperate!

COLONEL: I AM Cooperating.  But I can’t call off Stingray or tell any of his troops to cease their defense.  YOU initiated this Attack, Sister.  The Hunters will simply have to retreat and regroup.  Then we can attempt a proper negotiation later.

IRIS: (annoyed) Mhm…  And how am I supposed to get back to their Headquarters?

COLONEL: Well...  If their communication satellites are indeed down until further notice, like you said they were… I suppose you are just going to have to wait until they’re back up.

He falsely smiles at her.

IRIS: …You won’t have the Air Force escort me?

COLONEL: (Bellowing) HAAHAHAHAHAH!  Get out of my Office, Sis.  I'll send you Zero’s message later.

IRIS: Hmph!!

She angrily looks at her brother, disappointed as she abruptly gets up.  She walks out of the room and slams the door behind her.

Hunched over in pain, Jet Stingray glares at Zero, dead in the face as he turns around and faces his enemy.

ZERO: That's it. You're finished, dude...

They narrow their eyes.

JET STINGRAY: …Not yet…

He punches Zero right in the /gut, winding him.

ZERO: /Poouuugh. /Yaaaaagh!!!

He cups his hands around the back of his neck and /knees him in the head.

Jet Stingray punches Zero, but he catches it.  Zero retaliates with a /slash to the gut and /another to the arm.

JET STINGRAY: /Eeyagh!  /Ooohh..

Jet Stingray turns around and swiftly walks away, bleeding out underneath the water, making small crimson clouds from his open wounds.

Zero runs after him and capitalizes, while Stingray is turned around.  He slashes him across the back twice in an X formation.

Then he dashes and performs his new move, as his Saber glows into a powerfully vibrant pink slash that cuts into Jet Stingray’s back.

JET STINGRAY: Grrraaaawwwwwuuughghhhh…

Jet Stingray's circuits overload as his armor cracks.  Finally, his core combusts underwater into a fantastic, contained explosion.

The fire from within the water, immediately cools and turns to bubbles.

When the fried, shattered pieces of Jet Stingray float before Zero, he spots a weapon chip labeled, ‘Ground Hunter’ and grabs it.  Then he hears his partner screaming from outside.

TAKUMA: (o.s) AAAAAAAAGH!!!!

Instinctively, Zero's eyes flash light blue as he remembers how to perform an Air-dash.  This was a skill formerly acquired by an Erasure, but now Zero feels confident that his own body has actually learned how to properly execute this skill.

Zero lets out a light laugh, as he air-dashes over to the gate.

ZERO: Hh-yeeeeah!!  

He kick- jumps up the rigging toward the gate.

ZERO: Now I see why Stingray said that so much.  Flying this fast is fun!!!

He jumps back through the gate.

Takuma has fallen to the ground as a gang of Poseidon Clones and Hornet Riders continue to pummel him.

ZERO: Nnnoooo!

He air-dashes over to his jonin and carves his way into the swarm.

ZERO: HURRICANE FANG!!!

He names his new move, learned from Slash Beast as his pink wave of the saber disintegrates six of the enemies.  He stands by Takuma, fearlessly ready to protect his fellow Warrior.

ZERO: /C'mon, /c,mon!

He slashes and slices away at the oncoming reploids.

TAKUMA: (pained) ggh..  Sensei…  You’re here!

Zero kicks a Posiedon away and slashes a Hornet Rider across the face. Then he puts out a hand.

ZERO: Get up Takuma.  We're not done yet.

ZARRICK: We made great time.  Lets go, gang!

He hops out of the cockpit, ignoring the ladder completely.  Skid and Gear-Rig take the ladder down carefully, while X takes it down swiftly with urgency on his mind.

He sets up his X-Buster, just in case with concern on his face.

X: Be careful guys..  I don’t know what’s waiting for us in there.

They continue to stroll through the halls.

OFFICE WORKER 1: Nothing is working!

He drops his guard and retracts his Buster into his hand.

X: Damn it! I was afraid something like this would happen while I was out.  Has anybody been monitoring the Mother Computer??

OFFICE WORKER 1: All of our techs have been looking at it non-stop.  They can’t figure it out!

The elevator doors open on the main floor as the whole group run over to Dr. Cain's old lab.

ZARRICK: Man..  Never thought I'd roam these halls with you again.

X: (focused) Yeah.  Its good to see you again.

ZARRICK: Sorry we weren’t around for Doppler's Attack after all…

X: Its okay.  You went through a lot.  We all did…

They reach the lab as X forgives him.

-pan to-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INT. MAVERICK HUNTER BASE – R & D Lab - DAY -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moment X enters the room with Team Legion, Lucas and David stir at the sight of him.

LUCAS: Huh?

DAVID: Hey! It's X!!

The Hunter Techs all stop working and take a breath of relief.  

The Elite Hunters turn around, surprised and excited to see their Leader.

ALECTO: Yes!!

XANTHE: Finally!

CASTOR: I knew he’d make it!!!

Double and the rest of the Elite Hunters run over to him.  

DOUBLE: My Liege! My liege!! You’re back.

AESON: What happened, sir??

X slightly laughs.

X: I… Heheh.. Got stuck in traffic.. Zarrick had to give me a lift home.

Zarrick nods silently with a slight smirk on his face.

POLLUX: Where were you?

X: On Fiji taking care of a pesky Maverick, and now it looks like I have to take care of another one.

Double runs over to him and grovels on his knees.

DOUBLE: I'm so sorry, sir.  One minute you and I were joking and laughing on the coms and the next- I don't know what happened!!

X: (annoyed, ready) Cyber Peacock happened. That's what.  And now I've gotta go get him.

Double gasps.

From further towards the Mother Computer, Lucas /claps his hands once.

LUCAS: /Okay!  That, I know how to do.  David, help me set up X's Pod.

DAVID: Oh wow.  This is just like Anomaly Day.

LUCAS: Exactly like Anomaly Day.

The two prepare X's Host Pod with the appropriate wires and connectors.

LUCAS: Or as X would call it… his Cyber Mission.

DAVID: Aw man..  Now I miss Middy…

They continue to set up his Host Pod in an attempt to connect it to Cyber Space.

LUCAS: Geez.  That guy was a Super Genius.  We could've used someone like that to monitor X, so we don’t lose him in Cyber Space.

From the back of the room Gear-Rig clears his throat.  He slowly walks towards them.

GEAR-RIG: Ahem..  Uh, Hi Gentlemen.  I know it’s been a while..  But if you need an advanced processing Navigator for this mission, I think I'm your guy.

David and Lucas instantly recognize Gear-Rig.

LUCAS: Whooa, Heeey. I remember you.  You were that guy who helped is reroute Doppler's Satellite laser.

DAVID: Yeah!!! Genius move, man!  That was brilliant.

X: Guys.

X begins to look impatient as he waits for the Hunter Techs to finish setting up his pod.

LUCAS: Oh. Sorry, X.  We're all done.

X: Jeeeez.

He runs over to the pod with wide eyes and sort of an annoyed smile.

Lucas smiles sheepishly as David mans the Mother Computer.  David hacks inside the screen's programming as everyone witnesses the data constantly changing.

Gear-Rig watches wide-eyed and astounded.

GEAR-RIG: My word!

X and the rest watch the Computer Data as they learn about the situation.

DAVID: We were able to get this far, before our window closes us out.  But with X here, now we can zap him in there and it won’t matter how many times this Peacock closes the window.

GEAR-RIG: I see.  How fortuitous!!  So with a Genius-Level programmer like me, you'll be able to continuously hack into the Server, thus keeping the window open and X, safe from getting.. Lost in Cyber Space as it were.

Lucas makes wide eyes.

LUCAS: …Yes…

DAVID: ..I'm sorry, did you just say Server?

GEAR-RIG: Oh yeah! I can tell just by looking at that code that he's already eaten up your entire Mainframe and turned it into his own Server!!

X: WHAT!!?

GEAR-RIG: Its not as bad as it sounds. We just have to-

X: I've gotta get in there guys. Now!!  This is the one who's been interrupting our coms and teleporters, right?

LUCAS: At the very least…

DAVID: He's also probably stolen a lot of data at this point…

X: Damn him!

X gets into his Host Pod without a further moment's hesitation.  Lucas quickly closes the pod and sets up the final connection.

LUCAS: Don’t worry… We'll get this.  Just like last time…  Just close your eyes, and keep them shut.  When we tell you to open them, you'll be in the Data World again.

GEAR-RIG: His new Server..  As it were…

X: Hmph.  Alright…  Here goes nothing.

X closes his eyes.

EXT.  OCEAN PORT – Gang Fight – DAY

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caption:  10:37 AM

A wounded Zero and Takuma stand back to back with their weapons out.

Bleeding across his forehead, down both sides of the nose, while his sweat stings his eyes, Zero attempts to shake it off as he watches a few more Hornet Riders dock at the port.

ZERO: Screw this man.  We've gotta get out of here…

TAKUMA: I know! /Hey!! Wait!!

Suddenly a Maverick Hunter Jet flies overhead and fires at the soldiers around them before landing.

ZERO: (smiling, relieved) Hahah!  There we go!!

The cockpit opens. Tau and Venzo  jump out.

TAU: Sensei, are you okay!?

ZERO: (smiling) Heh.  I will be…

-cut to-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXT.  REPLIFORCE AIR SHIPS – Air Space – DAY -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Storm Owl's Air Ship, the Commander of the Air Force is alerted to an attack from his home screen.  He widens his eyes, lets out a hoot and com-links over to his second in command.

STORM OWL: Skiver!  The Maverick Hunters have initiated an Air Strike on the remnants of our Navy! Get down there with a few Raidens and make them regret it.  

SPIRAL PEGASUS: (o.s, filtered) Yes sir!

   -        Cut to -

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXT. OCEAN PORT – Gang Fight – DAY -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TAU: Come on, Sir.  Lets get out of here.

ZERO: (smiling) Don’t have to tell me twice.

Suddenly the Maverick Hunter Jet bends and twists under heavy winds until it suddenly explodes.

SPIRAL PEGASUS: (o.s) I think not.

Zero looks up at the shiny Repliforce Pegasus in anger.

ZERO: Wh-aaat!??

Venzo turns around with a shock.

VENZO: Reeeeeen!

When the smoke fades, we find a burnt and bleeding Ren, floating in mid-air by his back thrusters while an arm favors his right shoulder.

REN: Gaaaaahd Damn it…

STONE ROOK: Noooooo!

Stone Rook, Burn Bishop and Rayven catch up just in time to bear witness to their Leader's injury.

SPIRAL PEGASUS: You pesky Hunters have made an unsanctioned attack on our Forces for the last time.

BURN BISHOP: Oh Great! Now we're all stuck here!!!

TAKUMA: (hurt, sad) At least… We have company…

Spiral Pegasus, a group of four Raiden Armor Soldiers, a small group of Hornet Riders and one King Poseidon all look on at the stranded Maverick Hunters.

ZERO: Fuck that.  We have to go.. NOW!  Come HELL OR HIGH WATER!!!

Without thinking, Zero rushes over to the Raidens with his Saber out. Tau and Venzo quickly follow him with their blade and boomerangs ready.  Takuma carefully remains behind.  

ZERO: (shouting, resilient) NEW PLAN!!!  Cut them down and Bail!!!!

The Shinobi Hunters collectively run after the Air Force and Naval Forces.

A few feet higher in the air, Burn Bishop sets an aura of flame around his body, Rayven puts her hands together in a triangular fashion to form a charging beam, while Stone Rook creates an exterior of Solid Rock around his body.  They all join the fray and follow Zero’s lead.

ZERO: Just.. gotta.. Make it to their Ride Chasers!  And pray that somehow our teleporters get fixed in the meantime.

Both armies run and fly after each other as they inch closer.

ALL: (battle cry) HAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

   -        Fade to White –

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INT. CYBER SPACE – Peacock's Server – DAY -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Fade in -

Amidst a white screen, X's consciousness forms a Data Body, which teleports into Cyberspace.  Quickly, the white space loads into a mechanized room.

DAVID: (o.s, far, hollow) Okay, X.  Open them!

X barely makes out the words, knowing that they came from the real world.  Despite doing this before, it is hard for him to imagine that he is truly resting in his Host Pod, while his mind is connected to Cyber Space.  He lets out a quick breath and opens his eyes.

X: (gasping) I'm in!

-Freeze Frame. Grainy Effect.-

NARRATOR: (o.s, v.o) After being stuck in a strange Laboratory over night, X has finally come home to face a new challenge.  While Zero is now the one, stuck in 'Enemy Territory'.  But are the Repliforce really enemies??  Or will this Feud with between the Maverick Hunters and Repliforce blow over after a discussion?  Iris seems to think so.  In the meantime, I can only hope that X will be able to solve his Network problems soon.  His best friend's life may depend on it…

-Fade to Black-

I saw your Megaman Zero reblog and I'm so happy you're also into reploids! I was a huge fan of your other blog, and it's so cool we share fandoms! (even if I'm more of a MMX fan myself)

To my eternal embarrassment, I have to admit that I know absolutely nothing about Megaman and only reblogged the post as a sort of character-design reference for a fic I’m currently working on, in an entirely unrelated fandom. I saw the fan-art, it looked incredibly close to my main character (if she ever wore her hair long) and I reblogged it just to have it around as a visual resource + tagged it as ‘megaman’ so other people would at least know the original canon.

I amended the tags, to make it clear that I reblogged it as a visual resource. I’m so sorry for leading you on, even if inadvertently, I know very well how disappointing it can be to find out that the other person isn’t actually into a given fandom.

Happy anniversary, Megaman Zero! There were supposed to be more MM0 sketches in this, but I didn't realize how many MMX / MMC sketches I still needed to finish (oops) so I had to clean those up first (though I knew if there wasn’t at least one drawing of Cyber Elf X, Saling and Chimi would kick my butt). Next sketchdump will have a little more MM0 content, with the usual miscellaneous Megaman stuff thrown in. I had fun tweaking the Guardians' designs, a few have always bothered me and now I know why people never draw Phantom, his mask is so frustrating. I’ve been using bright colors a lot more lately, it’s super fun coloring with the Archie’s color palettes- they’re so vibrant! 

I’ve been wanting to draw that scene from my "A Matter of Caring" fic for a while now, I love that story so much :’) I’m still so proud of it, I encourage you all to give it a read if you’re a fan of Zero and X ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ You can find me on Ao3 @InconvenientImmortal

(Click for captions, and please full view! Tumblr makes these so blurry :’/// Previous robo sketchdumps: 1, 2, 3, 4)

Some info on my Reploidsona Monarch Monsoon under read more b/c I don't know when the next sketchdump will be and idk if she'll make it into the next one.

Background: Monarch Monsoon was part of the Maverick Hunter's 7th Air Cavalry unit and worked under Storm Eagle, who she respected a great deal. When he defected and joined Sigma, she hesitantly went along with it out of loyalty, but quickly quit when she saw all the horrible things Sigma and his Mavericks were doing. (This sounds really noble, but don't let that fool you- what clued her in was seeing Mavericks trying to destroy her favorite dessert shop). 

Monarch’s ambivalent about the Maverick Hunters, but neutrality doesn’t pay the rent, so she works as a mercenary.

Personality: Very Proud, a little vain. Snarky, but affectionate once you get to know her. Flattery is the fastest way to get in her good books. Sounds exactly like a 90 year old grandmother.

Weakness: Close-range combat, sweets.

Abilities / fighting style: Monarch Monsoon was built for speed rather than power, which is why she's a lot less clunky-looking and a lot lighter than earlier generations of Reploids / Maverick Hunters. She’s always got excess energy; her wings have solar panels built into them, so one of her main roles was to provide energy to those who were running low on it during long missions (she’s like a portable battery). Usually acted as a scout for Storm Eagle’s unit and relayed information back to them, like an on-the-field navigator. Excels at long-range combat, but a few well-placed shots would take her down easily.

Other: She thinks Zero is a walking fashion disaster. Acts a little coolly towards X because he killed the superior she was fond of, but ultimately holds no real grudge against him. She’ll never admit it, but over time X has been growing on her (a little). 

I came up with her name in the middle of the night a few weeks ago, and I thought it was so good, I knew I couldn’t let it go to waste. I know most Maverick names are in a “ ____ (animal)” format, but she’s not technically a Maverick so shhhh. I LOVE MONARCH MONSOON A LOT so I’ll probably wind up slipping more drawings of her into future sketchdumps if I can.
