Moscow:
The city hums with life, as traffic sweeeps through the air. Wind flys around the tall columns of buildings that make up the core of the neo-moscow city. Gate, still lingering in his hotel suite speaks to a colleague on the holonet.
"Dr. Glow, I'm so happy we could meet like this.", Gate smiles. Shining Hotirunicus, or Shining Firefly to the americans, was also known by his less than formal Reploid Name, Dr. Izzy Glow.
"Yes, well....my work places me in touch with all sorts of people. I get to meet the best and brightest in every field. It is so rewarding."
"Indeed. But I think that you'd be the BRIGHTEST I'd ever met.", Gate joked.
Dr. Glow just chuckled. "Ah, yes...very good. Now what can I do for you Gate?"
"Well, I was wondering. You see, I've been doing some research on some laser weaponry. I am working on constructing some Reploids for my defense, and I was wondering if you could help me."
"Defense? Why would you need that?"
Gate mused, "A little security never hurts in an insecure world." Dr. Glow just shrugged. His holo image picking up , and relaying the gesture perfectly.
"Well, I suppose we might be able to talk. Tell me, what is the Reploid's name going to be? What sort of style are you building it in?"
"Oh? Do you mean humanoid or animal?"
"Precisely.", Dr. Glow returned. "As you can see, I was modeled afer a Firefly. My creator had a good sense of humor, where I can see that you are strictly humanoid."
"Yes. Design is always an interesting part of any creation. Well, I had done some digging, and had actually obtained the DNA data of Toxic Seahorse. It was really quite remarkable. He was a fascinating specimen to study."
"Are you rebuilding him?"
"No. But I thought I might use the technology behind his body to develop my new weapons master. I have chosen the design of a Flea. He will be most impressive."
"A flea? That is an unusualy design. If I may ask, where do I come in?"
"Well, the system I am developing calls for your area of expertise. Do you suppose we might discuss......"
Unexplicably, the comm-link went dead. Overhead, the sky had gone black. Lightning began to crackle in the sky.
"What in blazes?", Gate muttered.
Then, he saw it! He was not sure what to make of it at first, but he felt a tingle run through his entire body.
"Unbelievable! What power! I feel it!"
A blue light, resembling a comet-like mass broke the clouds with incredible speed. Before Gate could even move, the ball of light was on him in an instant. The loudest noise he had ever heard was the sound of the energy ball crashing through his building. Glass shattered, the building shook, and the wall caved in. Something unknown, however, was keeping the room from collapsing. Gate had been thrown back by the force of the impact, and was now under piles of debris. He pulled himself out of the timbers, and glass. His eyes could barely look at it, because it was so bright, but he saw the image of a man....or was it?
"Who....who are you?", he stammered. The figure thrust his hands out, which made a wave of blinding light expand, then it all seemed to absorb inside of his body. The light had dissapated, and the figure could be clearly seen now. It was a Reploid!
"My name is IO!", a deep voice boomed. He wore all black armor, (similar to X's shadow Armor.) Gate could not believe it. "Where are you from? Why are you here?", Gate asked.
"You ask too many questions. I want to know only one thing from you. Where is Mega Man X?"
"X? I do not know where X is!" , Gate nervously replied.
"Then you are of no value to me." , IO said coldly, as he held up his hand. Gate held up both of his hands in a pleading gesture.
"No! Please....I know how to find him!", He pleaded.
IO put his hand down to consider the thought. "Tell me!"
Gate proceeded to tell him about Signas, and where the Maverick Hunter Base was. Finishing the thought he said, "GO find Signas...he will tell you...where X is."
Then, he left just as he came. A blinding blue-ish sphere of light surrounded him, and he blasted away. What was more amazing was that the dust, and paricles which had made up the wall began to glow blue. In a sudden motion, they all seemed to gather together in a ball, and then spread out to reform what used to be the wall. When it was over, Gate could not believe what had just happened. The wall had been rebuilt, and not even one fleck of dust hung in the air. To top it off, his connection had been restored. Dr. Glow, waiting rather impatiently scoffed at him, "Gate! Where did you go? Do you always keep people waiting like this?"
Gate could not say anything. He was too awe-struck. All he managed to say was, "I'll call you in a couple of days."
He shut off the comm, and then fell to his knees.
Finally he gasped, "I don't believe it!" (to be continued)
