MegaMan Revalations

Best way to describe this by what we may know, it is a mixture of BattleNetwork and ZX. A Matrix idea if you will.

Concept I

MegaMan is a program created, DNA based computer program whom exists as a net guardian; a program charged with protecting a specific net function (or individual interaction). Created by a program reminiscent of one names Light, whom uploaded his mind to a computer before his death.

Living on, he created a few programs to protect him from the net as well as from hackers/crackers whom plague the net with their worms, viruses, programs, etc. MegaMan is a byproduct of this.

One such cracker simply enjoys breaking into places to look around, just to see if he can. Not meant to cause harm, more leaning towards exposing weaknesses to allow whomever to fix such. He locates MegaMan and is intrigued by him. Testing him with a few modified viruses to see what he can do and watches him destroy the viruses.

He attempts to communicate with MegaMan which at first doesn't work out, but eventually MegaMan listens. They talk for a bit and the cracker decides to assist MegaMan in his charge of protection. MegaMan, hesitant declines at first. After another interaction with other Viruses, he accepts the crackers assistance. They clue Light in on this, whom doesn't like the idea, but accepts MegaMan's choice and begin to hunt down recurring viruses to get rid of what is sending them Light's way.


Concept II

After the Cracker's and MegaMan's union, their encounters lead to other hackers/crackers and other problems within the real world. Knowing this, the Cracker hooks up his body to the net and 'downloads' MegaMan into his body. Effectively temporarily merging with one another. His body changes to portray Megaman's features and abilities and they hunt down those responsible for the Net problems.

Since if MegaMan can venture out of the Network, other code can too and cause robotic malfunctioning/taken over, other people to be 'merged' with, etc.

----

Idea is that MegaMan behaves like a Virus, can move in and out of anything connected to the Network. With not only malicious programs in the Network, there were malicious people interacting with the Network, problems from both sides. MegaMan's function is bias, and is seen as an enemy to others and perhaps to others he is supposed to be fighting with. This 'Grey Area' enables many opponents, characterization for MegaMan and events that land true allies and true enemies.

Return of the Rock.

A concept I have been tinkering with, is the return of MegaMan into the Robotics Timeline. After ZX to be specific. Leaning towards it being a one-shot.

After the ZX series climax (possibly some form of Civil War between citizens and Sage government), Rock crash lands back on Earth. Finds himself unable to recognize the planet as being the one he left centuries earlier.

- Possible -
Looking around for days, he finds Roll and Rush (maybe Beat), and upon so, has gleamed some info as to what is going on.
--

Rock learns a little bit about what is going on in this world and finds himself looking for historical records to learn what he could. Being absent from Earth and full of recent memory being that world of Duo and etc, he had little to no idea of anything present.

Only able to learn a bit of the present history, he decides to look around a bit, since having been rebuilt/fixed and partially remodeled during his time gone, he wasn't 'scared' to venture around.

Hoping to find something, he ultimately comes across a being whom was in possession of Model X, this being was badly wounded days earlier and has laid in his spot for a while, hoping for help. Rock gives him a hand and is given Model X as a token of appreciation. Through this, Rock and X communicate, about what happened with Light (X's brief memories), X's life, the Maverick Wars, the Elf Wars, Copy X/Weil conflict and the more recent Model W Crisis. Taking it all in, Rock was stunned on how badly the Earth was.

Accepting Model X, or X rather as being his younger Brother, they team up to give another go at assisting this world. Rock permanently merges with Model X: Granting him a form of armor modification to his body as well as modifying Rock's weapons, leaving X a consciousness to Rock (symbiotic unity).

- Possible -
After the ZX Crisis and Little 4, perhaps the Little 4 broke away from each other (by duty, by re-emerging memories of their former selves, by re-emerging minds of their 4 BioMetal, etc) and created their own clans for survival. Not only to be hunted by Rock (for answers or powers), but also have their forms of tyranny to the world around them (turf wars, clan conflicts, etc) and ultimately discovers that a singular mind was responsible for the Little 4 branching out, for the Climax (Civil War?), whom instigated Albert on his path of the Game of Destiny; Weil.

A small portion of the Ragnarok/Leavatine remains after the crash had partially formed together (courtesy of Weil's machine body merging with the unit) and hidden itself prior Albert's interference. Keeping a distance as this body slowly reformed, was watching what Albert was doing. After said Climax, slowly begins to appear to the world.

Rock vs Weil to a point.

- Possibility II -
At the ZX time, with the Equality Laws and after Albert's interference, the citizens rise up against the Sage Government (after Thomas?) and this triggers a Civil War (the one I mentioned above as a catalyst for this plot). Years after this rebellion, Rock finds himself in the middle of the fighting. Either choosing to create a group counter to what is going on, or assisting those he sympathizes with, and triggers his involvement within the fighting to take out those instigating the fighting in order of resolving it properly.

This could be a precursor to the Possibility above.

Additional thoughts not placed (if ever placed):
The fate of bass. Rock would have ProtoMan's shades as a momento to him since he would most likely die of his 'core'. But Bass would be missing, if not destroyed by Wily. R-Shadow would have a small cameo, even if it was his scarf. King would have a cameo, for some characterization to Model Z(ero) (perhaps Bass too could participate in this characterization).

Just a rough idea.
