Current Storyline
5 Years after the defeat of Xer, the hunter base has moved up in priority concerning government affairs. Hunters have been called on more important missions than just random maverick killings. The old hunter base has been improved greatly. More hunter bases have been created around the eastern part of the world.
The biometals, data from ages past, have had said data extracted. The data has been extracted before, but not everything was accessible. Xer’s methods were discovered, and thus all data was released, including the data of everything about Xer and what is had done. The government is deciding whether or not to destroy the biometals to prevent another Xer incident.
Talk of a new city is spreading around. Nobody knows anything about it, except for the fact that there is going to be one. Well, not exactly. These are nothing but rumors. Though why there would be rumors for a new city is kind of odd. You would think that it would just be something they would outright announce.
The Earth’s problems were solved long ago. Global Warming, Pollution, and other such things are a thing of the past. However, one problem that has been present for the last few centuries is the weakening of the Earth’s interior. Most of the world is composed of water, and what isn’t is almost all dust and cities. There are very few locations with actual forestation. Plants seem to wilt and die no matter how well taken care of they are. Recently, within the last decade scientists have reasoned that the problem lies within the Earth itself. Plans are being made to investigate further.
Mavericks are still a problem, but not so much anymore. The Zero Virus has been eliminated permanently with the destruction of Sigma’s biometal, presumably. However, a new kind of Reploid Virus has arisen. Not much is known about it at present time, except that it causes them to cease all programmed functions, and instead rely on raw animal-like instinct.
Speaking of viruses and programs, in the half a decade since the previous installment, Thomas, the seemingly worthless ally, discovered a way to bypass the block that prevented humanoids from mega-merging, which henceforth brought the return of humanoids back en masse.
GLOSSARY
Reploid (Reh Ployd) – A robot that has human emotions, senses, and a free will. They are as varied in appearance, personality, and abilities as any human, and perhaps more. The very first Reploid, Mega Man X, was created by Dr. Light.
Humanoid (Hyoo mah noyd) – Either a human that has been given robotic components, or a Reploid that has been given more human like characteristics, and a lifespan.
Maverick (Ma Vur Ik) – A Reploid who generally defies the will of the Maverick Hunters or of the human governments. The motivation for these Reploids' actions varies from case to case.
Biometal (bai-oh meh tal) – A piece of metal that contains the AI, databanks, and weapon and armor data of a Reploid. Biometals have the ability to Mega-Merge with humans and humanoids.
Mega-Merge (Meh-guh murj) – The process of using the M.E.G.A. System to merge with a biometal. Also known as the ‘Meta-Encapsulated Granule Awareness System’. The merger then gains the abilities, appearance, and weapons that belong to the Reploid of that particular biometal.
Sabre (Say-bur) – A sword like weapon that’s blade is made of pure plasma. A sabre is not confined to a straight position from the hilt. It can bend as it is swung.
Buster (Buh-stur) – A circular weapon that can take the place of one’s arm. It has the ability to fire small ‘pellets’ of energy, as well as store energy and fire it in the form of a ball of plasma.. Some busters are used to fire things other than energy, such as missiles, sharp objects, and bombs.
Maverick Hunters (Ma vur ik huhn tur) – An organization dedicated to the safety of society and elimination of Mavericks.
Xer (Zur) – A past organization who’s main objective was to cleanse the world of all Reploids. They believed that Reploids were the cause of many of the Earth’s problems. They fought using biometals. Xer was eliminated by the Maverick Hunters in December 3075.
Force Metal (Fors Mehtul) – A material that can alter or enhance the abilities of the Reploid that equips themselves with it. Also known as ‘Add-ons’ by a certain Maverick Hunter mechanic.
Sigma/Zero Virus (Sihg-muh/Zeer-oh vy-ruhs) – A virus that has the power to corrupt the minds of Reploids. This virus allows Sigma/Zero to influence the minds of any infected Reploids, almost always converting them into Mavericks.
