Today was December 21 2012, the world was ending there were bands of gangs roaming the streets and it was total chaos me and my family were trying to get to one of the safe zones near the outskirts of the city. “Come on michael just a few more feet and were home free” My mom said as we ran through the streets of Washington D.C we were trying to catch a train that would lead us to a military safe zone.
“I’m running as fast as I- watch out” I shouted as a stray bullet hit my mom in the shoulder. As she fell to the ground I ran up to her “Mom are you alright?” asked as she started to bleed.
“Yeah i’m fine let's g-” She said trying to get up before she was cut off by a group of men coming out from the nearby building where the gun was fired from.
“Well what have we here?” the head thug asked.
“A momma and a brat.” another thug said.
“Grab the brat we can trade him for stuff with the other gangs.” the head thug said
“And the woman?” a thug asked.
“Kill her.” the head thug said as the other thug pulled the trigger.
“NOOOOO!” I screamed as they hit me in the head witht the but of a rifle to shut me up.
I woke up in a white void “Hello?” I called out getting up from what I guess was the floor.
“Hello my son” A voice called out scaring me.
“Where are you?” I asked scared.
“ Right behind you” The voice said as I felt somebody grab my shoulder.
As the hand touched my shoulder I jumped in the air scared. “Gah!” I screamed as I turned around to see an old man standing there laughing.”Not funny man... who are you anyway and where are we?” I asked.
“ Purgatory ” he answered.
“I’m dead aren't I?” I asked.
“No, but you aren't the first to ask this question. What do you know about today?”
“That's it's Friday?”
“You know what nevermind look what's important is that you survived the end of the world.” the man said.
“Okay so what now?” I asked.
“Well I could ether give you something or-” I cut him off.
“What can I have?” I asked.
“Well whatever you want.“
“I want Model A form Megaman ZX advent.”
“Anything else?” he asked as he snapped his fingers.
I thought about it for a minute before asking “Can you make it so i have all the data from the games in Model A?” he snapped his fingers again and data literally poured through the biometal.
“ There you go I also made you compatible with the Biometal.” the man said before pausing “You do know this means you can’t go back to earth right?” he said as I looked at him.
“What? Why?” I asked.
“ Unfortunately If you return people will try to take you away from your family and use you as a weapon. I can bring you to a new world where you can be free from that.” the man said as I started to tear up.
“I don’t want a new world...I just want to be with my family.” I cried.
“I’m sorry.” he said as I fell asleep.
As I rolled around I heard a familiar voice “Hey wake up.” the voice said
“Five more minutes Model A.” I said rolling over before realising what I said. “Wait what?” I asked
“Model A?” I asked remembering the old man.
“Yeah?” she asked.
I paused for a moment before asking “Where are we?” I asked.
“I don’t know but you’ve been out for a few days.” Model A said as I heard a door open and Model A layed down on the table next to me.
“Hello young man I’m Dr.Horse do you know where you are?” he asked.
“In a hospital?” I asked.
“Yes you were in an accident, you were found by the side of the road an old man who brought you here.”
“Where Is he?” I asked.
“I don’t know he left as soon as he brought you here.”
“How long was I out?”
“A few days do you remember why you were on the side of the road?”
“No...”
“Alright then we're just going to have to do some tests then you can go home with the foster guardian.”
“Foster guardian?”
“You were found on the side of the road, until we find your parents you're going to need somebody to look after you.”
A few hours passed as the doctor asked me questions most of which were answered with I don’t know or remember. “Alright mike your guardian is here to take you to your new home.” the Doctor said.
“Okay.” I said looking down at the floor as a tall woman came up to me.
“Hello Mike, i’m Celestia i’m going to be your guardian.” she said as she put her hand on my shoulder I got up and grabbed Model A and followed her to her car.
“Do you want to pick up some dinner on the way to my place?” Celestia asked.
“Sure.” I said looking at Model A who was staying quiet.
“What are you holding there?” she asked
“This is Model A.”
“Is it a good luck charm?”
“Y-yes.” i lied I didn’t want to tell her about Model A or what the megaman's were.
She looked at me for a second before saying “alright so where do you want dinner?”
“What are the choices?”
“Well there is the burger queen by the school I work that pizza place by the old church on the way to my house.”
“I’d like pizza please.”
As we drove to the pizza place Celestia’s car began to ring “Hold on please.” she said pushing a button “Hello?”
“Sister where are you?”
“Oh Luna I forgot tonight was our game night Mike ,the kid I was telling you about, woke up and I had to pick him up I was about to buy pizza I can make it extra large I don’t mind leftovers tomorrow.”
“Oh I can come back later if you need time with the kid.”
“No, no I’m coming over soon I don’t want you to skip game night because of me. See you in half an hour.” she said as she hung up “Well I completely forgot about game night, I was hoping to introduce her tomorrow give you time to adjust to me but you're going to meet my sister.” Celestia said as she stopped the car and grabbed her purse.
As we entered the Pizza place Celestia asked me “what kind of pizza would you like?”
I looked at the menu and said “Meat lovers please.” I said
“Alright. One extra large meat lovers please and what kind of drink do you want.” she said.
I looked at the menu and told her what I wanted before we waited for the pizza to be ready. “What you got there twerp?” somebody said before they yanked Model A from my hands.
“Hey give that back!” i said as they passed Model A around
“Over here Hoops.” one of them said.
“Pass it to me Dumb-Bell” Hoops said as the third one said.
“Over here Score!” Dumb-Bell said as Celestia caught it.
“Principal Celestia!” the three said.
“Hoops, Dumb-bell, Score why i’m I not surprised that you're causing problems.”
The three bullies looked at each other before asking “what are you doing here?”
“What can’t the principal have a life outside the school but as for you three I see that you're still up to no good...didn’t I warn you that if i caught you three doing something like this again that you would be benched from all your games?”
“B-b-b-but we aren't at school right now.” One of the bullies said
“You're right I guess this is a job for the cops.” she said as they all looked terrified.
“We're sorry please don’t call the cops.” they begged.
Just as they were begging the guy behind the counter called out “Order for Celestia”
“Oh that's us looks like you're off the hook for now but remember I catch you again and you know what happens.” she said as they looked terrified.
As we got in the car she handed Model A back to me “sorry about that.” she said
I looked at her “so you're a principal?” I asked
“Yes i’m the principal of Canterlot high.” she said
“Thats neat” i said going back to stare at model A.
As we arrived at Celestia’s house we saw a lady sitting on the front porch “Finally” the lady said as we got out of the car.
“Sorry, there was traffic.” Celestia said as the lady walked over to me.
“I take it this is Mike.” the lady said as she looked at me
“Yes this is Mike please say hi.”Celestia said.
“Hi” I said meekly as I held Model A.
“Oh what's that?” she asked
“He calls it Model A.” Celestia said as I hid behind her. As we all went into the house Celestia put the pizza on the table while Luna went to plug some things into the TV and Celestia got out plates. “Mike would you like be the first to play?”
“What game? I asked
“Its called metal gear.”Luna answered
“No thanks I’m just going to eat and head to my room.” I said as I picked up my plate and ate.
“Alright tell us if you change your mind.” Celestia said as I just ate a slice of pizza and was lead to my room.
“Here if you need anything just tell me, we’ll go clothes shopping tomorrow so you can have something to wear to school, alright?” Celestia said before she left me to my own devices.
A few moments later Model A flew up and said “Man I thought we would never leave us alone.”
“Model A?” I asked.
“Yeah?”
“Why did you keep quiet during the ride here?”
“Well I wanted to give you some space to be with that woman plus i’m pretty sure she would have had a car crash if I started talking.”
“Okay then.” I said as I thought for a moment “try to keep hidden till I say so okay?”
“Alright Mike.”

Just for context MCU in this story means Magic Cinematic Universe
chapter 2 Time to go to school
Saturday we went shopping to buy clothes and school supplies and on Sunday we went out to see the new Spider-boy movie with Celestia’s sister Luna. “I dare say that was better than the original trilogy, or at least as good.” Luna said.
“Luna did you forget about Spider-boy 3?” Celestia teased.
“Please don’t remind me that film was horrible.” Luna said turning to me “Well Mike what did you think?”
“I thought it was okay I would have liked some more context on what was going on and who most of the characters were.”
“You haven't seen the MCU?” Luna asked.
“Oh Mike you should have told us we would have spent the day watching them.” Celestia said as Luna giggled.
“Oh I get to watch that airport scene again.” Luna said with excitement.
On Monday I was woken up early by Celestia “Morning Mike it's time to wake up.”
Sleepily I opened my eyes and asked “What time is it?”
“It's 6 am.” she said as she gently pushed me till I was up.” Time to wake up you have school.”
“Mmm five more minutes.” I said turning around and closing my eyes.
“Sorry but I can’t be late for school.” She said shaking me a bit more.
“Alright i’m up” I said as I got out of the bed. As she left the room I grabbed Model A and left for the dining room.
“I’ve made you bacon and eggs now eat up we have a busy day ahead.” She said as I sleepily eat my bacon and eggs after that I got dressed before heading to the car to be driven to school. “Are you excited for your first day of school?” Celestia asked.
I just looked at her and gave a half hearted “I guess.”
“Mike I know going to a new school can be hard but take it with a grain of salt you're going to do fine, plus you can always come see me if things get too hard. Okay?” she said.
“Okay” I said.
“Okay now school doesn’t start for another half hour if you want you can come to my office and play on my computer.” Celestia said as she parked in her parking spot, As we got out Celestia waved to somebody “Oh Ms. Cheerilee I was hoping to run into you before school started.” she said.
“Oh Principle Celestia what did you need?” Cheerilee asked
“Well I was hoping to introduce you to your new student.” she said as she turned to me “Say hello Mike.”
I looked at the lady and meekly said “Hi” and waved before going back behind Celestia.
“He’s shy.” Celestia said.
“Why is he with you, is he another troublemaker?” Cheerilee asked.
“No, no I’m his guardian.” Celestia said.
“Oh I’m sorry.” Cheerilee said.
“It’s alright I normally bring troublemakers to you anyway so It's only natural you'd assume so.” Celestia said.
“And what's this he’s holding?” Cheerilee asked.
“Its model A she keeps me calm.” I said as Cheerilee looked at it,
“I saw something similar to it in Mr. Serpent’s tour last week during our field trip.” Cheerilee said to Celestia as I froze.
‘No it can’t be the same serpent as in ZX’ I thought
“What's wrong Mike?” Celestia asked.
“...its nothing Celestia.”
“Please when were at school call me Principle Celestia, okay?” Celestia said.
“Okay sorry... Principal Celestia” I said looking at the ground.
“Alright now let’s head to my office I’ll have the updated student list by the end of the week Miss Cheerilee.” Celestia said as we walked into the school.
Half an hour passed as I played on Principal Celestia’s computer apparently she knew of a website similar to newgrounds that I could play on... just as long as it wasn’t rated anything higher than T. As I finished a round of card on this card battle game I found the bell rang “Aright now let me escort you to your class Mike” Principal Celestia said. As we walked I say this girl with bacon hair walking into a class and for some reason Model A started Vibrating as If she had something important. “Well we're here” Principal Celestia said as she knocked on the door.
On the other side I could hear Cheerilee say “Alright Class before I do roll call I would like to Introduce you to a new student.” as she said that Principal Celestia opened the door and I walked in. I walked to the middle of the chalkboard and looked at Cheerilee “Well introduce yourself” she said
“H-hello I’m Mike and this is Model A.” I said holding up model A.
“Ha, he brought a toy to school.” Somebody in the back said as I was looking at Model A and considering using A-trans to turn into Bifrost and scare them but I decided against it as I didn’t want to scare the rest of the class and get Celestia in trouble.
“Diamond Tiara you apologize right now.” Cheerilee said.
“Fine I’m sorry.” she said while muttering something under her breath.
“Thats better now Mike you can take the free spot in over there.” Cheerilee said pointing to a free chair in the middle row I quickly took my seat.
After the class I went to lunch and sat by myself as word traveled fast that I brought a ‘toy’ to school so nobody would want to sit next to me. “Hey.” a girl said as two girls sat down next to me. “I’m Appleboom.” she said pointing to a snow white girl “that's Sweetie belle.” she said as Sweetie bell waved “And that's Scootaloo.” she said as an orange girl looked at me.
“Hi” I said before looking back to my food.
“So why did you bring a toy to a high school?” Scootaloo asked.
“Scootaloo!” Sweetie belle said
“What? You know you're wondering too.” Scootaloo said.
“It’s fine Model A helps me calm down.” I said it was a half truth.
“Oh so it’s a stress toy?” Sweetie Belle said.
“Kinda...” I said as I took a bite out of my sandwich.
“Thats neat...” Applebloom said as the other girls started eating there food as well.
After lunch we went to gym where I had to sit it out as I didn’t bring gym clothing. After Gym we had math which I kinda cheated in when Model A told me some of the answers before the teacher tried to confiscate her away from me luckily a quick call to the principal's office told him not to touch her but I was warned that talking to her again would net me detention for interrupting the class. After math was the end of the school day “Hey Mike you want to come to my place?” Scootaloo asked.
“Umm okay?” I said confused and a bit uncomfortable.
“Oh don’t give that look Applebloom and Sweetie belle are coming too.” she said
“I’ll have to ask my guardian but if she’s cool with it yes.”
“Alright make that phone call” Scootaloo said as Applebloom and Sweetie Belle joined use in walking to the principal's office.” Umm this is the principal’s office not the payphones.” Scootaloo noticed.
“Hi Ms. Celestia can I go to Scootaloo’s place?” I asked as the girls all looked at each other before saying
“Your mom is the principal?” the all asked at once.
“Guardian and yes Mike you can go to Scootaloo’s place I’ll call her place when I’m ready to pick you up okay?” she said as the girls were talking to each other.
“Are you sure we should invite him I mean he might snitch on us?” scootaloo said.
“Yes we already invited plus we're not doing anything bad.” Applebloom said.
“I say we still take him.” Sweetie belle said as Celestia coughted.
“You know we can hear you right?” Celestia asked.
The three of the looked at celestia and giggled “Sorry” the three said before we headed for the bus.
As I tried to get on the bus the bus driver stopped me from getting on “Sorry you can’t ride this bus.” the bus driver said.
“Relax cranky he’s with us” Applebloom said.
“Fine kid you can come on but no funny business alright.” he said giving me a glare.
As we got to scootaloo’s place we were stopped by her mom “Scootaloo who’s this?”
“Mom this is Mike we just met him at school today.” scootaloo said.
“And does his mother know he’s here?” She asked.
“Guardian and yes she knows.” I said.
“Oh alright you kids play nice.” she said as we went off to the backyard.
After a while we got bored of playing and decided to take a walk through the nearby forest. As we walked we ended up at a clearing where there was a treehouse. “So Mike what do you think?”
I looked at it and said “It's a nice tree house.” As we tried to enter the treehouse I heard a stick break behind us. I turned around to see four men with some kind of assault rifles walking in the woods “We need to hide now” I said running into the treehouse as the girls followed.
“Who are they?” Sweetie Belle asked in a whisper.
“As Scootaloo tried to say something the four men stepped into the clearing and one of them spoke into a comlink “Alright sir Model A should be close by” he paused to hear what the person on the other end has to say. “Yes sir no witnesses understood.” He said as he looked at the treehouse “Hey thief I know you're hiding in there come out and we might not hurt you” he said as the others pointed their guns at the treehouse.
“What’s he talking about?” Scootaloo asked as I looked at model A “did you steal that?” she asked.
“Model A...” I said as I looked out there “I’m heading out stay hidden.” I said as I climbed down the tree “Alright you got me.” I said as they pointed their guns at me “before you kill me thought may I ask who sent you?” I asked
“Are you really that stupid to forget who you stole the Bio metal from...no there are others watching aren't there.” The man said as the others took aim at the treehouse.
“Fine I guess you won't tell but before you kill me let me get two last words down.” I said.
“And those are?” he asked.
MEGA MERGE!” I shouted.
“M.E.G.A system activated Biolink established” Model A said as I turned into Megaman Model A.
“He can Megamerge?” the man looked at the other and ordered them “Kill him!”
I fired my guns at the goons trying to knock their guns away. I used a homing shot to hit a few of them and saw that they were robots. The robots shrugged off the homing shots and ran forward taking cover behind the trees as did the other figure. Each took aim firing potshots at the Megaman whittling down his energy in hopes of a killshot.
The man kept quiet but kept a finger up to his ear activating the comlink with a slight beep. All three of the robots aimed for the tree house firing several rounds through the thin wooden floors.
“Ah crap!” I shouted charging a charge shot at one of the robots. “Hey Ugly i’m over here” I said running into the forest.
“After him.” he said as the three robots chased after me.
The three robots took point rushing into the shadows of the trees making sure to take cover before filling an area with plasma fire burning down the underbrush and setting the forest ablaze. Each step took careful precision as they burned down any hiding spots that the Megaman could take advantage of.
Mike leapt out of one of the currently burning trees with a fully charged up shot shoving his blaster right on top of one of the robots before letting the trigger go. The small explosion sent him back as the rest of the bot melted into slag and fell over from the strain.
Noticing one was down the other two bore down on Mike firing another barrage of plasma behind him making it impossible to escape without burning himself. The two menacingly stepped forward making sure to keep enough space to have maximum range with their plasma cannons.
“Ah crap...” I said looking around for anything I could use “I could A-trans or-” I paused as I saw that they were standing under a tree with a very large branch.
Mike seeing the branch fired quickly as the two robots did as well. Lunging to the ground to avoid the fire the branch fell knocking the two robots down. It was enough of a distraction to get out of the way. Mike dashed off for more cover while the two bots got back up. The flames licked their armor turning them into hellish creatures which raced after Mike. The man who stayed back for the most part made sure to keep track while he watched for the young boy they were hunting. The first bot required a sneak attack to take down and the forest was nothing more than an opportunity to use against the young boy.
The robots began their process once again burning down a small section of the forest. Mike readied another charge shot and dashed from behind one of the burning trees. While he was fast enough the robot he targeted managed to aim their weapon as well. Both released their triggers. While the robot soon became a pile of slag Mike was not so lucky being shot and tossed back by a few stray plasma shots.
“1 one more to go.” I said as I looked for the last robot.
The last robot planted its gun in my face and pulled the trigger sending me flying from the intense heat. Only the armor protected my head forcing me to roll to the side. Charging up my blaster I took aim shooting the lower torso off before stomping on the head to make sure it didn’t get back up. The robot sputtered around for a bit shooting before shutting down. There was still the man to deal with.
“Hey!” I shouted as the man walked away from the treehouse “Did you touch them?” I asked pointing my gun at him.
“Who? There is nobody in the treehouse.” I said.
I walked menacingly up to him. He fired a few rounds from his plasma cannon but his shaky arm complemented his aim making it worse. I dashed forward knocking him to the ground only to knock his mask off his face before pushing my blaster into his face. It was a human face.
“You’re h-human?” I said as he knocked me off and tried to blast me with his blaster. Before He could fire at me I used a charge shot to blast him in the eye.
“GAAAAAAAA!” he screamed as he ran away and I transformed back into Mike.
“Girls?” I asked as they came out of the trees.
“That was amazing how you took down those guys down.” Scootaloo said.
“Please don’t tell Celestia about this” I said.
“Why?” They asked.
“I don’t want her to worry about me.” I said
They looked at each other before saying “Fine if you tell us how you transformed.”
“It was all thanks to me.” model A said floating up from my pocket
“What Model A can talk?” Applebloom asked.
“Yes she can now I maybe we should head back before your mom gets worried.” I said.
“Okay but you're telling us everything tomorrow.” Sweetie belle said.
“Sir, Agent Rayas has come back.” a voice on the speaker said
“Good sent him in” Serpent said
“H-hello boss.”Rayas said scared.
“So where is Model A?” Serpent asked
“It merged with a kid.”Rayas said
“That could be troublesome have you brought the kid with you then?”
“Thats the problem the kid destroyed three mechaniloids and blinded me in one eye.” he said as I put my cup down.
“So my best agent couldn’t handle on kid.” Serpent said.
“But Sir he was a megaman!” Rayas said
“I don’t care you had one JOB!” Serpent screamed.
“Lets not be too hasty Serpent. He did fight a megaman after all.” Master albert said.
“Right sir.” Rayas said.
“Let's fix have his eye.” Master Albert said as as we sent him away.
“Well this is interesting a new Megaman.” Pandora said.
“Hmm he’s just a brat” Prometheus said.
