Humanoid Reploid Project

This is a possible Megaman X project I’m working on. It may use a Persona 3 crossover, maybe 4, because a key event involves the Dark Hour.

The basis starts our that all the destroyed Reploids and Mavericks who had been destroyed were rebuilt and immunized to the Maverick Virus and all other strains. This is about a year after the final defeats of Sigma, Gate and Lumine.

After a mysterious attack of berserk Mechanoloid, which had baffled scientists, humans and Reploids alike, a letter was found on the premises, addressed to X.

Zero had the letter scanned for prints, but to everyone’s surprise, it came up clean.

X,

Come to the Moonlight Bridge tonight, at 11:55 PM. Come alone.

Do not test our patience on either regard.

…You don’t want the ‘blood’ of your allies on your hands, do you…?

Sincerely,

~ 13

Much to the chargin of some other Maverick Hunters - new, old friend and former foe- some Maverick Hunters volunteered to hide during the meeting.

Among them were Armored Armadillo, Sting Chameleon, Storm Eagle Slash Beast, Blizzard Wolfang and Axl (who is not on this picture).

As the Reploids got into position, both on the field and with satellites, X stood alone on the center of the bridge.

His internal clock read 11:58. “A no show?”, X wondered. Several Reploids, like Armored Armadillo and Alia back at HQ, were growing restless.

Until finally a man appeared, completely bypassing their sensors.

“Surprise.”, came a deep male young voice. X quickly turned around, MegaBuster activated, but down at his groin. X, along with the hiding Reploids were surprised at the sight of a human male wearing a black cloak that barely revealed his black Merrill shoes, draped further over his wrists and was bound by a patterned lilac scarf over his waist and neck areas.

“Wh-who are you?!”, X yelled defensively. The male merely smirked under the hood.

“Are you going to shoot me? If you did, that makes you a Maverick, you know.”

“!!!”, washed over X. He and everyone hiding noticed he was raising his left wrist, which caused all Reploids to tense and ready their weapons.

“…10…9…8…7…6…5…4…”

“What are you…?!”, X gaped before he realized something. ‘It’s a trap!!’

Unfortunately, he realized too late.

“…1… Midnight.”

And with that Abel City went dark. All the Reploids deactivated under the light of the full moon, now stained his a hue of a malevolent green. The figure looked around. Taking off his hood to reveal lilac hair in several gelled juts, the young man sighed.

“To think there were so many hideaways under my nose. Oh well. They’ll feel the power of the Dark Hour soon enough.”

As he walked away, a small fog enveloped the unconscious Maverick Hunters, and as the male passed by, he notices that a pedestrian, who was probably observing the hoedown given the angle, was surrounded by a black, ornate, red-rimmed coffin glowing a slight red. The male’s face turned to a sad mope.

“I envy you all… humans who are not aware… you and the Reploids have it easy… being asleep in the hour of the end…”

The figure saw he was crying slightly. “I can’t wait to hear another lullaby when I return… I’m tired.”

And with that the robed figure disappeared into the darkness.

That’s the prelude. If you’re wondering about things like why Armored Armadillo has a sword and scars, he had those in the manga; it works better than him [as a human] rolling into a ball, actually.

And as an Easter egg, I modeled AA’s pose after Ryoji Mochizuki from Persona 3.
