PROLOUGE

Somewhere deep in the heart of X-Land...

The possibilities...

The infinite possibilities...

And here he had been wasting his time on those two relics...

The information in the ancient database he found in the

ancient ruin had given him a plethora of possibilities. The data was acentury out-of-date, and many of the relevant files were corrupted,

 but there it was. X-Land's biggest secret. It wasn't alone in the cosmos.

The mad scientist who had created this database most

assuredly tried, with his feeble tech, to utilize the information to his

own benefit. The data files were chock full of blueprints for

ridiculous war machines, terrain choices and, eventually, designing arobot that confirmed all that he had already suspected, and that

robot's ultimate fate.

As he perused the files for another few minutes, plans began

to form. There was a design for something called a “Zion Shield” that

had great promise, a map of ethereal connector tunnels that connected

various “Lands” together through rips in the fabric of space/time.

And...

NO!!! It couldn’t be... but it was. A video clip that explained so

much to him that it all started to make sense finally. The reason so

many reploids went Maverick all at once... the reason for even his

existence...and the existence of his hated rivals... and two secretsabout one of them. One dark, and one interesting...

Immediately, he transferred himself to the powerful scanner

that rested in the citadel, reactivating what tech he could. It was

primitive by his standards, barely able to withstand his awesome

power. But then, it was created a while ago, in another tech age for his

land. Its’ purpose was to scan these other “lands,” universes, orrealities, to find objects of power, biological organisms (disgusting...),

or the tech that existed in that era. Transferring power from the

energy core that existed deep within the core of the fortress (which

was shaped like a human skull, so odd...), and siphoned enough to

activate the scanner. Gliding through the primitive OS, he found the

command strings that would allow him to see these other lands forhimself. Eagerly, he activated the program, and with a whine of

protest, it complied.

Instantly, his mind was filled with images. A cloud-covered

mountaintop, populated with all sorts of mythological creatures,

angels, and monsters. A dark, gothic world terrorized by a being who

was dead, yet not dead, a land where creatures sucked your life-forcefrom you, regardless of defenses. His own world, complete with those

hated relics. And something else...

Interesting , he thought to himself. Very interesting indeed. If I 

could occupy that area, all this would be mine. HA! That’s the plan, then!

But I will require assistance, since I know nothing of these places. 

He recalibrated the scanner to find entities that could help him

in his conquest. He had a wonderfully loyal minion, of course, so that

could counter any problems from his own area. Now, to find others...

He scanned and scanned, making notes as to possibles. So

many damn organics. He despised organics, since humans tried to

dominate him. Still, these bioforms would be knowledgeable of thelocal physics and terrain, and even this “magic” he kept encountering.

He didn’t believe in magic, of course. Science explained all, if given

enough time. But whatever the locals called it, it could be useful. He

scanned, and settled on a list of a few with great potential: A being

called a “Darknut” in a land called Hyrule, and a couple of strong, yet

dimwitted mutations from a land where terrapins knew fighting

styles and lived in waste tunnels. He actually admired their fashion

sense, for some reason he couldn’t quite explain, usually he could care

less about this thing organics called “fashion.” But the garishness of

one of them reminded him of a former associate, and that amused

him.

Separating from the scanner, he found the transmitter hestumbled onto, and used it to transport himself back to his base of

operations deep in the canyons. There, he returned to his body, and

re-synched, reactivating himself.

“Is all as you expected, Master?” A helmeted figure with a

cannon mounted on his right shoulder asked.

“Even better, Vile. The site held such promise. My am bitions

have grown beyond even this paltry world. Soon I shall control all

that exists. And you shall stand by me when I rule, old friend.” said

the figure.

“As you wish, Master.” was Vile’s reply. 

Sigma smiled. It was never a pleasant smile, always showing

malice and evil, confidence and cunning. Vile was his, body and soul,

or whatever passed for a soul in the body of a Maverick. The two

hated entities, X and Zero, no longer mattered to him at all. Only the

ability to rule all of “Videoland” mattered.

And he had a plan on how to do it.

Chapter 1

“Dad! I’m Home!” 

With this proclamation, the door slammed shut, and a red,

white, and grey blur streaked across the living room, up the stairs,and nearly made it to the door of its room before a male voice, slightly

older-sounding in its bass reverb, shouted “You got homework?”
