CHAPTER ONE

[The screen displays a delapidated building, void of windows and other entries, save two large double doors. In size, the structure spans a city block, looming dark and grim in the outskirts of the city.
An exhuasted Dr. Wiley stands preparing to send a capsule into the ground. His head and hand rest on the glass as anxious and nervous, like a parent sending their child on their own into the world. ]

Wiley: *panting* ........Go my child.... Do what I could not.. Claim your destiny and take what is rightfully yours... Destroy MegaMan!!!! *scowls*

[Places a disk into the capsule's Logic Drive, afterwards he sluggishly turns to his workstation. Fumbling with the next disk, its sloppily inserted. A flurry of typings sounds are heard as he types in its protocol.

Computer: Phase one complete.
...Viral program uploaded, file contamination eminent

Wiley: (Slight trickles of blood creep from his lips)Finally *cough hack* Checkmate...*gasps for air* Thomas Hehehehehha!! BWAHahaaha- Ack! *spits up blood* Uuuuuuggggh ( Life is flowing out of him like summer breeze and a shell of a man stands in its wake. Death lears over his shoulder waiting for the moment to strike. The sickle plumets into his body causing his boddy to go into wild convulsions, also known as a death rattle.)Huuuaaah.......

[In the violent jiration of his appendages, Wiley activates a security feature into his computer mustering all the strength left in his body to articulate the keys correctly and keep from dropping to the cold cement floor of his lab. Once finished, Wiley released all restraint and collapsed to the ground.]

Computer: Zetsumei Dageki armed. *ten seconds later* security breach, reatatiatory mode initiated, Uploading viral Kumori to connected server. ..Transfer complete, stealth level 3 initiated. Host file, Mlogic.X. RSR 1,653,500,643,924,700 gbps. Current status... standby.

[The capsule unleashes nanobots building the robot inside at lightning speed. As the face and body armor takes shape, we see a young male with long blonde hair form. Armor wraps around his body, while the the capsule encased itself in indestructible shields and launches deep within the grounds at breakneck speed. A screen is formed and images are broadcast opticaly to the robot reveal a healthy Dr. Wiley proud and boastful.]

Wiley: I am Dr. Wiley, you are my creation. Due to recent turn events, I fear you are my last. I am being hunted down for felonies, and being the catalyst in the war against the Earth Aliance. That is why in your current state your existance is in jeopardy. Also ...I am dying. Aside you I have not heir. I have equipped you with nanobots carrying my most prominent DNA strands, Once finished, you will no longer be a simply the most advanced robot of your time, but a fully funtional cyborg. Once you continue to adjust you will have a near human body save your external armor. You are my crowning achevement, code named Zero, because you precede all others. Your mission is to eliminate the one named MegaMan, and his creator Dr. Thomas Light. It is unsafe for you to emerge and carry out your objective now, Light is aware that I plan to retaliate. So I have programmed you to study deadly forms of armed and unarmed warfare and strategies of the battlefield, to give you a cunning upperhand. Your right arm is a armed with a plasma blast cannon exceeding all military power and speed for years to come.You have no rivals, and no equals in existance. Although, if one should arise, you are programmed to advance exceptionally and surpass their prowess. You are virtually indestructable. I have created you to be my legacy. You have been empowered to complete my goal of exterminating MegaMan and Dr. Light. If stil functional and accessable, my laboratory is yours to manipulate as you see fit. I have complete faith in you, failure is not written into your destiny. I am not begining the suspention sequence to begin your training. I would say i'll see you in the afterlife, but you cannot perish, so it us useless to say. Once this message is finished , your countdown to completion will begin.

Meanwhile

Roll: Hmm. Thats interesting, lets see how far in I can get. *giggles* Wasn't even as hard as the doc said it was. *mutters to herself* I'll just copy this and delete this- Ooh ooh! wait 'til Rock sees this one!

[Roll, being the inquisitive girl she is, is an intermediate hacker. She has now hacked into Dr. Wileys lab and is now inshpersonal computer, a feat which she's being trying months to reach.]

Roll: Rock!!! You gotta see this!! I finally got in Wileys lab! *Rock , AKA MegaMan, sprints into Roll's workshop* Hes got this new bot hes workin' on. He's cancelled all his other operations just to finish this one.

Rock: Way ta go Roll! what do you think is so important about this one??

Roll: I dunno, i think we aught ta get Doc in here quick.*Rock nods quickly*
Rock & Roll: DOC!!

Dr. Light: Just a second... *a loud crash is heard* Oops!... *banging* On my way!... *Dr. Light walks in with his face slightly covered in soot and his eyebrows missing, seemingly singed* I'm here, whats up?

Roll: I'm inside Dr. Wileys lab PC, I found documents on a new bot called Zero, who according to these specs snd stats is stronger than any bot you've ever created... By looking at this chart, he's almost complete!

Roll's PC: Upload confirmed, replication stage started. MULTIPLE FILE CORUPTION!!!, MULTIPLE FILE CORUPTION!!!

Rock: Whats goin on??!

Roll: It's been infected by virus!! it must've been on Wileys PC as a an anti-hack safeguard. I can't locate it...!!

Roll's PC: UNABLE TO REPAIR DAMAGE SYSTEM UNSTABLE!!! *the computer begins to pop and spark*

Rock: Oh No!!

Dr. Light: Cut the power Roll, its the only way to save it now!!.. *Roll yanks the power plug from its socket, severing the power, causing the screen to black out leaving only the dim and fading word "KUMORI"

Dr. Light: Oh my....I'll repair the damage tomorrow Roll. For now ...you both get rested. I'll get us prepared for this newer menace , Zero... Im going to create a robot powerful enough to stop Zero. Rock, I'm going to use some of your logic data. I can't risk it destroying you, Your Earths last hope if it fails I'll extract the files on Zero and create your ally similar, its design is phenominal. Roll, you ready Rock's stasis chamber Rock, secure the perimiter, time is of the essence!

Rock & Roll: *nodding* Right!

Dr. Light: *gazing at Rolls charred PC* This had better work... *Dr. Light Picks up Roll's PC then dashes off into his lab to begin work on the new ally.

Time elapse: 45 mins. Rolls PC is in working order. As the file transfer has transpires, Dr. Light sits in awe Ohe the mastery and genius grafted into the skematics of Zero's assault capabilities. He now understands that Rock is by far no match for Zero in any fashion, and to dare pit Rock against Zero is a suicide unspeakable. As Dr. Light comences to develope the new ally to exacting specifications of Zero except for the logic files unbeknown to him, are infected beyond repair. In Wileys precision of his nanobot, days of time are spared. The new hero is taking shape at an alarming rate in actuality, faster than Zero's. The skeletol frame, interchangable parts, exterior human flesh, right down to his hair As Light continues to change properties, his hair shifts from red, to back, green, blue, yellow, purple, then into brown. Now it is finished, and Light realizes that its not a destructive robot, but an android like cyborg(cybernetic organism) similar to the character "Data®" from "Star Trek Generations™". All that stands now is to upload the logic data...

Light: This is unbelievable...

Computer: Downloading of Logic file is finished. Reploid complete, ready for code name entry.

Light: ...MegaMan X.

Computer: Name entered, Reploid is now fully communicable.

Light: *visably concerned* MegaMan X, Can you hear me?

MegaMan X: *examines Dr. Light, as a fighter would size up thier opponent. After 5 seconds of deadening silence passes, X responds to Light almost laughing.* ....Yes, you are Dr. Thomas Light. You consructed me... *X now stares at Light like a lion waitng to kill its prey. X carries this gaze along with a chillingly confident smile.* Release me, there is much I need to do..

Light: I cannot do that yet X, you have yet to recieve your armor.

X: I don't need it, let me out NOW. This will NOT be negotiated.

Light: *stands completely upright and in a stern manner reinstates the order to X.* I have explained this, you are not prepared yet, you still need your armor..

X: Listen old man, I don't have time to waste with you, let me out now! *eyes flash red for a slit second* ...Or I will let myself out... and you don't want that!

Light: *Now aware that something is terribly wrong with X, presses the panic button summoning Rock and Roll. Light stands in fear of X, and X knows it, as he glares back at Light blatantly challenging him* NO X. You will not be released. *types in a commands to the capsule causing it to close, and deactivate life sustaining functions in X*

X: Your disobedience just cost you your life ...Doc! I will enjoy crushing your body beneath my feet. *X's eyes begin to flicker red gathering devistating amounts power.* THIS IS THE FATE YOU HAVE CAST UPON YOURSELF!!!!

[Lights begin to surround X's body as temperature inside the capsule reach in the thousands. As a reprecussion of this, Light, who is currently 3 feet from X, skin starts to heat up and blister while his coat is clothed in flames. Light is screaming in terror and pain. His skin is melting form his body and dripping to the floor, sizzling.*

FRA-BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

[In an unbridled display of fury, X decimated the lab. The explosion of energy wiped out the fires, but left the room scalding hot. Wreckage debris are strewn across as far as the eyes can capture. Light lays on the floor, wracked with pain, pleading for life, and holding on for some form of rescue. Rock and Roll burst in the room imensly shaken by its damage. X jupms to Lights location , now 26 feet from where the capsule was. As X picks Light up from the destruction, He laughs at Light in his agony as he faces Rock and Roll frozen in shock.]

X: ...These are the wages of disobedience. *X crushed Light's body in like a child would callously crush an insect to assert its power*

Light: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGH!!! EEEEUUUGHHH-KLUGHH!!! *as his lungs give out, his face is still contorted in the scream. Lights jaw dislocates as large fragments of his face and drop to the floor... ...A hellish spectacle to witness and endure... The kind hearted Thomas Light is now cut in his prime, by a blood thirsty creation, corrupted my a former friend and partner.

Roll & Rock: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

*X is now aware of thier presence. In his twisted mind, he feels the need to antagonize them further. Thrusting the body of Dr. Light to the ground, then stepping on his head in full force, placing a crater into the ground aproximately 2 feet deep. X looks Rock in the eyes embeddding site worse than one could bare into Rock's mind. Roll remains frozen in fear.*

X: Lets dance Rock!!

Rock: Y-y-y -you MONSTER!!! I'll never forgive you! I will avenge you Doctor Light! *Rock charges his Mega buster, sending a wave of plasma into X, pushing him back into the rubble of the laboratory with such intensity that an inferno erupts, engulfing the lab in flames .

[Roll collecting all her courage uses her arm attatchment to form a focused laser gun, crude, but highly effective in normal terms. Roll quickly fires six shots into X's chest, slamming him into a wall in an incredible speed. A silence is noticed for 3 seconds before X emerges out of the wall, ...hysterical with laughter. His body shows seven holes, one large gaping hole, and six smaller ones, straight through his torso. All in the span of 2 seconds the holes twist and close up, healing him completely.

X: Well done. Now its MY turn!!! *X's eyes flicker a brilliant red* HUAH!!!

[X' charges Rock head on, dodging all shots delivered by Rock and Roll. Grasping hims arm, X manipulates it to form his X buster. With one shot square and true Roll is blasted into her abdomen, severing her body in half. Dashing accross the floor leaving shadow images behind, X opens his hand, clutching Roll's head and peircing the steel enforced wall with it.
While being shot, and shot at, X calmly reforms his arm back into a hand. Now realizing he has this ablility in mental command, X grins at Rock. X flies over to Rock delivering a powerful blow to the head, imparing a portion of Rock's face and helmet.
Rock gets up from the floor, refusing to be beaten encouraging X to fight him hand to hand. X accepts bringing mor that Rock can stand. A series of body blows, upercuts, kicks punches and slashes has weakened Rock to the point of no repair. In an attempt to destroy X and Rock in a cataclysmic atomic explosion of great magnatude. ]

Rock: Personal safety presetings, disengage. Mega buster, negate heat syphen. Reroute all available power to Mega buster. *panting* Dcoctor Light would never hurt anyone. He'd never desevre this... I will avenge him!! *cough cough* I swear it....!!!

X: Don't keep me waiting, Mr. Hero....

Rock: Mega Atomo strike!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!! [With a swift movement, X dashes under Rock, grabbing ahold to his Mega Buster, crumpling it as if tin foil.]

X: *scoffs* HAH! Primative! *In an explosion of terrible proportions, an illuminates creeps from Rock's Mega Buster, as hes propelled through two concrete walls.

X: Time to die, Blue Bomber. Thanks for the warm up, your the most impressive failure I've ever seen. BAHAHAHAHAH!! *A charging noise is heard and an incandescant light sows from X's X Buster.* ...Checkmate!

MMMMMMMMmmmmmm..... FRA-THOOOOM!!!!!

[X's head is ravished sending debris in shrapnel form into the sky and smeared into the remainder of the ceiling.]

X: So pathetic. ...hmm ..I feel like singing..... ROCK AND ROLL IS DEAD!! HAHAHAH!!

[X walks from the destruction singing off key and at the top of his lungs, butchering a wonderful song by Lenny Kravitz. His sillouette disappears into the shadows, after some 7 mins screams of fright are heard and explosions erupt as a maniacal laughter is heard in the distance...]
