If you're wondering why the paring between Ciel and Zero didn't put it in the romance category, I plan to make that the only chapter with something like that in it. Except maybe the last one… Anyway, here's the story.

Mega Man X, Y, Z

The world lurched as Mega Man slipped in and out of consciousness. Memories flashed by at lightning speed. Dr. Light… Roll… Rush… The battle raged around him. Gutsman, with his oversized fist, had just swung for his head. As he was about to fire a shot off from the buster on his hand, a spot of darkness swirled underneath him. The next thing he saw was a robot that had red armor just like Protoman. Then all went dark.

Next to him, the computer program, Mega Man .exe was in a similar state. He had been in the middle of a pitched battle with the black Navi, Bass, when he was zapped forward in time. He also saw a red robot, who looked like his sword-wielding rival, Protoman .exe.

Zero and Mega Man X viewed these two in silence. Every thought or feeling the unconscious figures was transferred through the many wires on them to several monitors. As the Reploids surveyed the information, many things about their past became clear.

"So, this Mega Man was the first model created by my builder, Dr. Light," said X.

"I was made by his enemy," mused Zero. "Wait, what is this? The other one, the program, was the grandson of…" "Someone called Dr. Hikari, a friend of a 'Dr. Weilly.'" X finished for him. "How can this be, if that's also the name of my builder?" asked Zero. "If you think about these things too much, your head will explode," joked X.

"Look, they're waking up!" WHOOSH! CLICK, CLICK, CLICK. BANG! The many devices sounded throughout the area. As the maintenance hatches lifted, both of the Mega Man's (Mega Men?) slowly came to. At first glance, they had seemed identical. On closer inspection, however, there were distinguishable differences, such as the pads on the stomach and helmet of Mega Man .exe.

"Hmph, so you two are finally done," Zero sneered. "Ignore him," said X, "welcome to our base. You should have been filled in on everything while you were being repaired and updated."

Before either could speak, a communicator crackled to life. "Special message for the new soldiers. Please follow Mega Man X and Zero to the command, IMMEDIATELY! THIS IS A CODE RED! GET HERE AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!

Sorry this took so long. Like I said, I'm really busy. Remember, all input is appreciated. Even flames are welcomed! R-E-V-I-E-W!!!
