mmdr | [EVENT] Welcome to the City!

The rift is rather quiet, lately. It has been for some time. Long-time members of the city know better though - that was only the calm before the mechanical storm. Soon enough, the rift rumbles again and a new wave of visitors begin to arrive all at once!

Some of these newcomers might notice a bright red metal device fit perfectly to their wrist. There is no apparent way to remove the device and any attempts to break it prove that it is nearly indestructible. More troubling is the ominous digital timer on the top of the device, slowly ticking down from 01:00:00. One hour.

What the new arrivals don't know is that in one hour, the devices will explode... Into confetti! The device is basically a timed Party Ball you wear on your wrist, complete with happy jingle and a teeny-tiny banner that says, "WERCOME TO HAPPY CITY, ARR OF GUEST!"

(Welcome to the DR! As with all events, this one is completely optional, but we thought we'd give you something fun to start with! The DR is now officially open to IC posts! We again ask that you please read the rules and familiarize yourself with the setting before posting! Have fun!)

So, X had figured that this day was going to be the best day ever.

He'd gone through the North Pole, beaten up the X-Hunters, managed to see Zero back together in one piece, and on top of all of that he and his revived-best-friend had blown up the base and main computer in which Sigma was residing, essentially eradicating him at the source for good.

(But then of course Capcom would happen, but it wasn't as though X knew that.)

He'd felt the explosions, he'd felt the heat bore into his synthetic skin as he'd made for the teleportation device, and managed to get out...

...But then, shortly after returning to Hunter Base he'd hunkered down in his trusty recharge-bed to have a much-needed nap.

...

And he'd woken up here, next to some spare trash cans with a few rats and cats jumping around on his helmet.

So now that great day? Went from great to awful in the span of a few minutes, even if X himself was acting less angry about the whole ordeal and more...confused, smelling like old trash and wandering through the city streets in some attempt to at least figure out something about where he was.

Oooookay. Rock's pretty sure he'd been mowing the grass seconds prior to being in the middle of the city. The seconds it took for his robotic mind to catch up with where he was was just enough time to realize he's now in the middle of the road as well. He leaped out of the way of incoming traffic and pressed his back against the nearest building. A quick scan of his memory for any hiccups or glitches provided a clean report. Besides almost getting flattened by a truck, everything was in order.

That meant one thing in his mind. Whatever had happened? Whatever had brought him here, far from home? Was Wily's fault.

...Did X just see that?

A robot appear in the middle of a road, dodge a truck, and then run to the building adjacent him?

...Either this Reploid (was it a Reploid, even? He couldn't imagine many humans traveling via teleportation, he supposed) ended up reaching the wrong coordinates or he had the absolute worst nav programs available.

In either case, something was obviously wrong.

X's hero-instincts clicked into overdrive as he jogged towards the newcomer, questions on his mind but concern falling from his lips:

"Are you all right?"

Rock took a couple breaths to cool his processors as they slowed a bit from the near death. He was about to glance down at the odd thing he felt around his wrist when a taller robot (what else could it be with armor like that, a cosplayer?) came jogging over to see if he was okay.

"I think so," he sighed, looking up with a sheepish smile. He probably looked pretty stupid, almost getting hit by a truck like that.

Tornado Man had no idea how he a short trip away from Dr. Light's lab would land him to a city he did not recognize in the least. His attempts at contacting anyone back home wasn't working. It was as if there was some sort of interference.

He opted to wander through the streets as well, hoping to find someone who could set him in the right direction. Or at least see a familiar face which he did. Sort of. In a form of X.

He doesn't hide his surprise as he quickly approached.

"Rock?" ...but it couldn't be him. That appearance, and that face. It was similar despite notable differences. "Who are you?"

Oh could he feel it. It wasn't the same feeling as with Zero, but it was enough to get this body shaking for the desire to have that body in his death grip.

He hadn't been in his location for long, he could recall his suit tearing away before he readied himself for the battle with that fake. Yet, here he was, a whole new location. It didn't take that long to find the body he was searching for, although naturally Omega kept his mind peeled for that fake as well. While his mind wanted to find Zero, this body wanted to find someone else all together.

X was within range for Omega, took less than two minutes to get to his location, with the Messiah standing not too far away, keeping out of sight for the time being. It wasn't the X he was familiar with, but still an X nonetheless. And if he could use this X to get what he wanted, well...

Zero was better when he was broken into pieces.

Slowly, Omega begins to approach the young X, holding out his hand, his O-Saber coming to his grip. There's a smirk at his lips, his glowing red eyes narrowed, attention fully on the body in front of him.

"X."
