(A/N: This is set after ZX advent a few hours after Albert is defeated. As you guys guess fromm this fic title. I never brought the whole revel of 'Model Albert' with Albert claiming that Model A is based on him which is *cough* bull-crap *cough*. I mean come on look at the Model A its Axl's head, and look at Grey and Ashes mega merged form. They are equip with a copy ability, 2 pistols, a black and red color scheme, and the overall design of the mega-merged form screams Axl. Plus Model A has the same personality as Axl. Please reviews cause that is a authors energy drink. Also their will couple the of past X characters appearing, and I will be using a fan theory for Axl's origin(hint I used it in my Megaman x Mass effect fic). Now on with the show.)

Chapter 1: A mystery uncovered

3rd POV

It had been a few hours since the defeat of Master Albert and his plan to reset the world and achieve Godhood. Before Ouroboros fell into the ocean thanks to Model Z holding of the 4 enemy mega men Vent and Aile were able to save an unconscious Grey and Ashe. After a couple of hours Gray and Ashe woke up in the Hunter's base medical ward they met with Vent and Aile and talked what they would do now that Albert is defeated. Grey and Ashe plan to travel with each other because due to their relation to Albert they were for intent and purposes family. Grey want to find his own Destiny,and Ashe want to continue treasure hunting and make a name for her self in the history books. Vent and Aile plan to do the same traveling the world and explore. Before they part ways the bio-metals Model Z, X, and A appeared because Z and X wants to ask A about his identity A retold what Albert told him, Grey, and Ashe. After hearing the story X and Z expressed doubts that Albert provided the full truth explaining that they don't believe A was based on Albert because they felt a familiar aura coming from him the same aura that belong to someone long ago who was their friend and like a little brother to them. Seeing the confusion on their face they suggested they go back to Albert's abandon lab where Ashe found Grey to find anything that will shed some light on why A seemed so familiar to them. Now Grey and Ashe in their mega-merged forms are exploring the lab of the deceased Master Albert and birth place of Grey. Grey is typing and looking over the data on the computer console by his capsule, while Ashe explore the rest of the lab checking for any helpful notes left by their 'father' Albert.

Grey POV

I typed on the computer console looking through different sets of data ranging from reports on my status when I was in that tank to some research notes that I couldn't understand. I looked through every file in all the directories and still nothing. I continued to look until Model A spoke interrupting my concentration. I noticed ever since the talk with X and Z he acting differently. He seemed on edge. He more impatient than usually.

"Found anything yet Grey?" he asked impatient for answers.

I shook my head. "I am sorry A, but there is nothing on this terminal that could help us, and even if there was data on you in this computer it is more likely Albert ( I refused to call him father.) moved it to another terminal. I'm sorry."

Model A gave an exasperated sigh of frustration. "It is alright Grey. I am sorry for acting a little bratty. It just what X and Z said that got me on edge.

I nodded in understanding. "Yeah, I remember."

(Flash back 2 hours ago)

3rd POV

Outside the medical ward before they split ways Model X and Z were talking to A while Grey, Ashe, Vent, and Aile were listening.

Z looked at A with a scrutinizing gaze that seem oddly familiar to A as if he faced that gaze before. "A who are you based on?"

A sighed and told X and Z what Albert told him, Grey, and Ashe. He told them that he is based on Albert and is a flawed version of a Model W tried to create and part of a back up system if he were to die before acquiring model W.

X looked at Model A in deep thought. "(He looks familiar. His personality, and his mega merged form along with his bio-metal form. Feels like I know him from some place.) I don't think your based on Albert." he said.

Everybody looked at X in surprise except for Z. "What do you mean Model A isn't based Albert?" asked Aile.

"He means Albert probably lied to A or didn't tell the full truth." Z cut in.

Ashe arched a eye brow with a look of surprise. "Wait, what made you think he isn't based on Albert? I mean I don't trust that sorry excuse of a father for what he done to me, A and my brother Grey..." Grey looked at Ashe in surprise Ashe saw this and put her hand on his shoulder and smiled and he smiled back. "... ,but I don't think he would lie about something like that when he was so sure of winning."

Vent looked at Model X and Z. "X. Z. What are you trying to say? That A is based on a reploid from your time period?"

X nodded. "Yes, I don't know how to explain it, but when we first meet Grey,A and Ashe I felt something familiar from Model A like a presence of an old friend like someone I consider a little brother. I also got flashes of memories long-buried coming to the surface..."

This grabbed everyone attention. "Memories? You mean from before you became a bio-metal?" Vent asked.

"Back during the Maverick war there was a young reploid who me and Z trained personally. I don't remember much just that he looked up to me and Z, he was our friend/comrade, and he looked very similar to Model A and Grey/Ashe mega-merged form. Also he had a very unique ability..."

"A-trans." Z finished. " The ability to copy a reploids appearance and abilities. I remember little bits and pieces as well, but it is not very clear just like other stuff from the Maverick and Elf War." Z said in a longing tone.

Model A looked at X and Z with a questioning look. "So you think I am based on this reploid who was your friend and not on Albert? As much I like the idea of not being based on that creep how do you know? What make you so sure that you're not mistaken? Do you have proof?" Model A asked with a glimmer of hope in his voice.

"I don't have proof, but answer me this. When first saw us what did you feel? Anything familiar?" X asked.

Model A seemed to float down in thought. This got Grey and Ashe worried. "Hey A are you alright?" Grey asked.

Ashe got closer to A. "Yeah you kind of too quiet which is very unlike you."

Model A levitated up to the same level of the other bio-metals. "When I first saw you I felt something like I knew you two for a long time. That we were comrades. If what you say is true and I am not based on Albert...Then am I based on that reploid you guys trained during the Maverick wars."

X shook left and right. "I don't know honestly. It just a theory, but I say yes it is very likely. You might find more information on your creation in the lab you were created in. I would look there."

"But where would we find this lab?" Ashe asked.

Aile put her hand on her chin in deep thought. "Maybe you might find the coordinates in the lab Grey was found."

Z nodded in agreement. "I would look there."

A nodded and looked at Ashe and Grey. "Grey. Ashe. We been through so much, and I was wondering..." before he could finish Ashe held up her hand stopping him.

"You don't even need to ask you helped us out with surviving Albert's game of destiny so we are happy to help, besides your our friend! Right Grey.!

Grey nodded with smile. "Yeah, Model A you helped me find out about my past, and now I will do the same for you."

"Ashe. Grey. Thank you." Model A said his voice starting break.

Ashe smiled widen. "Your not going to cry on us are you Model A?"

Model A just turned around. "No."

Everybody shared a laugh before quieting down. "Alright then let's go explore that lab! Ready Grey?!" Ashe proclaim.

Grey nodded and smiled. "Yeah let's go." Grey then turns towards Vent, Aile, Model X, and Z. "But what are you guys going to do."

"Me and Z will dig through our memories and see what we can find." X responded.

"And we will help them. We will dig through the archives at Legion HQ and see if there any mention of this reploid." Aile said with a bright smile.

Vent nodded in agreement. "Even though the archives don't have much from that time its a start. We might find something."

Z chuckled. "Well kid I hope you find something."

"Thank...wait why did you call me kid?" A asked.

"I don't know. It..just seemed right. Got a problem with that?" Z asked.

A shook his head/body. "No, It's not a problem. (In fact I feel like I have been called that before.)"

"Alright we will contact you when find something see ya." Ashe said.

"We will do the same. Hope you find out more about your creation Model A." Vent said giving a thumbs up.

Both groups said their farewells and went their separate paths to find out the truth about Model A.

(Flash back Ends)

Grey POV

I continue to type looking through files to check if I missed anything. "What X and Z said make sense. I mean to make a bio-metal you need a the soul from a humanoid to based the bio-metal on pretty much transferring that soul into that bio-metal, and bio-metals take a shape resembling that reploid, and you look nothing like Albert. I think he named you after him because of his ego."

I continued to search through files until I received a call on my communicator it was from Ashe. I activate my communicator. "Hey Ashe you found anything?"

"Yeah, I found something that might give us the answers we are looking for. I am sending you my location."

I nodded my head. "Alright I am on my way. Grey out." I turned off my communicator, and followed the way point provided by my sister Ashe.

"What you think Ashe found?" asked Model A

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, but by the way Ashe sound it is very important."

I walked while Model A floated down the barley lite Lab corridors we walked for a few minutes before we came into a room full of old parts and bookshelf. We saw Ashe waving her hand pointing at a door that I swore wasn't there before. I walked toward Ashe with model A by my side.

I looked at the door behind Ashe. "Ashe where that door come from? I don't remember that being there before."

"I don't either." Model A chimed in.

Ashe gave a big smile and waved her right index finger back and forth. "Well it was hidden. I was digging through the bookshelves and accidentally found it behind one of them. Behind the door is some sort teleporter room. I took a look around and found this data pad. You might want to read it. It look like some sort of journal."

She took the data pad from the side of her armored leg and handed it to me. I took it and began to read it contents along with A.

XX/XX/24XX

Research Log XX

Author: Master Albert.

The time is coming when the Game of Destiny shall begin and soon I will achieve godhood. But for now I must head to my private bio-metal research lab to complete my back up system. The bio-metal I created Model LM is ready, but he showing great resistance to my attempts to seal his memories. He refuses to mega-merge with the failures Prometheus or Pandora or tell me anything about the reploid body I found buried in the ruins of the battle ground that the legendary X and Zero fought and beat Omega or why his soul was sharing the body of the original reploid's soul. The only thing he told me before I put him in stasis was his name: Lumine, but according to historical data I found in another ruins which I believe was one of The Maverick hunters bases there was another reploid that fought with the legendary X and Zero. The data were corrupted so I couldn't get much information, but what I found interest me. According to the data there was a reploid who description matches the one in my lab who power is second only to X and Zero thanks to his special ability called A-Trans, and his strangely advance design beyond the reploids specs(excluding X and Zero) at the time. Not only that, but he was trained personally by them, and fought with them as a team becoming a legendary hero in his own right not as big as X and Zero, but he did made a name for himself second only to them. Unfortunately one of the things I couldn't get on from this data on this legendary hero that is all but lost to time is his full name the only thing I know is the first syllable in his name is A. If the body I found is the body of this lost legendary hero then maybe I could this A's soul to create another bio-metal that will be easier to control. I will examine the body to download the soul and find out what this A-trans ability is. For now I will keep this data to myself until a later time. My goal is so close. I can taste it. Just little more time.

-Master Albert of the sage Trinity

After I read the journal entry I looked at Ashe. "So I guess this pretty much conformed two things: 1. Model A is based on some unknown legendary hero, and not on Albert."

Ashe nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah. This is pretty surreal. I mean Model A is based on this unknown hero who was trained personally by the legendary X and Zero, but I wonder who is this Lumine that Albert mention in his journal."

I narrowed my eyes thinking. "Also this Lumine character soul was used to create Model LM, and put him in stasis before creating Model A. What is strange is that he was inside this lost hero's original body..."

"Yeah, the question is why did Model A have two souls in his reploid body? Hey A you been quiet does this Lumine guy ring any bells? A?" Ashe looked in Model A direction with a worried look on her face.

I turned towards Model A. "Hey Model A." he didn't respond. "A?! A!? You alright!?" he still didn't respond to my calls. I looked at my sister.

"Whats wrong with him?" she asked her voice full of worry.

I looked at A. "I don't know." I said truthfully.

3rd POV

While Grey and Ashe was trying to figure out what was wrong with Model A deep inside the Model A's mind he was experiencing vivid flash backs from his past life. Flashes of past memories appear before his eyes all of them showing a white effeminate reploid with blue hair.

Model A POV

I saw flashes of images appear before me. I saw 3 old style reploids one blue armed with a buster, one red with blond hair armed with a saber, and an angelic figure floating standing by a carcass of some reploid which for some reason I knew was Sigma. I was armed with some sort pistol at the angelic figure. Then another image appear showing me in some sort of white armor with blue high lights fighting a knight like reploid giving off a dark aura. As images flashed across my mind I heard an anagram voices. Echos of the past. Screaming in my head.

"Lumine! What are you doing? Don't tell me you gone Maverick.."

"The copy chips we new generation Reploids possess... They were derived from data from hundreds of old model means, of course, that Sigma was also included in the mix. Do you understand what I'm getting at here?"

"Enemy, ally... This issue isn't so black and white. Reploids, along with humanity, have irrevocably changed. The nature of their existence has also changed. You are not needed in our new world!"

"I was wrong prototype, and X was right. This world isn't just ment for us. It is for everybody. Lets make a new world where Reploids and Humans can live in peace! "

"Lumine, Lets do this. Ready to help out X and Zero partner?"

"Ready Prototype. I shall lend my strength."

I continue to listen and watch as parts of my past unfold in fromt of me. "A! A! WAKE UP! AAAA!"

Suddenly I was brought out from flash back to find Ashe and Grey looking at me with worried expressions on their faces.

"What happen?" I asked.

Ashe gave a sigh of relief. "You were lock in some sort of trance. We have been calling your name for the past 10 minutes. What happen to you?"

I looked done remembering the flash backs and voices. "Well when I saw that name Lumine I saw bits and pieces that I believe were from my past before I became a bio-metal."

Grey looked at me with a questioning glint. "Do you know who this Lumine guy is?"

"All I know is that he was a Maverick that X, Zero, and I fought against during the Maverick War who later became an ally during the Elf war. He was also the director for something called the Jacob Project, and manipulated Sigma. I don't know how his soul ended up in my body though. Everything else is just a... mess." I said the last part dejectedly.

Grey gave a sympathetic nod. "OK lets recap what we know. We know that Albert created a bio-metal before creating Model A."

"Model LM" Ashe supplemented.

Grey nodded. "Right, Model LM. We also know that this bio-metal is based on a reploid form the Maverick Wars named Lumine who was a Maverick turned ally, and his bio-metal is in stasis in the lab he and A were created in."

"Lets not forget that he was the director for that Jacob Project thing Model A mention." Ashe added.

"Also his soul was in my body when I was a reploid." Model A added.

"Also Albert stored the lost hero's body in his lab, and this hero can use A-Trans." Grey turns to Ashe. "Is there anything else in that room?" Grey asked Ashe.

"Yeah follow me." she said.

We followed Ashe into the hidden room. Inside is a transerver, a terminal, and a table with a couple of data pads on top. Grey walked over to the terminal swipe his hand on the screen and looked at the dust gathered on his hands. "Look like this place hasn't been used in a while." he commented.

Ashe walked over the transerver checking it over. "Also it looks like the transerver is busted to the point of no repair. Lets see if we can find anything juicy on that terminal."

Grey nodded and moved out-of-the-way as Ashe began typing on the keyboard looking through security programs and data files. "Yes!" Ashe exclaimed with a smile then a that smile disappeared as soon as it came. "DAMN IT!" she said as she slammed her fist on the table leaving a dent.

Me and Grey were shaking from the show of strength. "Hey...uh Ashe um whats.. wrong?" Grey hesitantly asked.

"Yeah...you nearly smashed that table in half." I added.

Ashe took a deep breath to calm herself. "OK, you want the good news or bad news?"

"Lets hear the good news first." said Grey.

Ashe gave a sigh which is never good coming form her. "The good news is that the terminal contain the coordinates to Albert's hidden lab, and then some." she said the last part with a smile.

I mentally cocked an eyebrow. "Like what?" I asked.

"Well the terminal not only contained the coordinates to the lab, but also to some laboratory located halfway around the world." she explained.

"Why would Albert build a lab halfway around the world?" I asked.

Ashe continue to type to get more information. "Well according to his notes it's not his lab more like a lab he discovered while out on his investigation on our lost hero somewhere in former Russia..." she continued to scroll down the screen. "..., and it belonged to a famous scientist named Dr. Mikhail Cossack, and his daughter Dr. Kalinka Cossack."

The minute she said Kalinka Cossack I felt something. A warm feeling like she was someone I was very close to like a parent to child. Suddenly I am in a tube of sorts. I saw a Russian woman in her early 30s with beautiful blond hair and green eyes wearing a white lab coat with black winter fur boots, and a black Ushanka on her head looking through some glass at me. She was smiling at me it was so full of warmth and joy, but the joy didn't reach her eyes instead it was full of sadness and regret. She started to speak her tone full of sadness and regret.

"I am sorry my son. I am sorry I won't be able to see you and your brother grow up as a person." As she continue to speak tears weld up in her eyes, and she gave a sad smile. "My son you and your brother are my greatest creations. You two brought so much joy in my life even when this disease that left me unable to bear children came back. You two are the only thing good that came out of my illness. I hope..." she shook her head lightly. "...no I know you and your brother will along with Light's son X will change the world." before she could finish she started to cough hysterically into her handkerchief I look closely at the piece of fabric and saw splotches of crimson red on it. "My two only regret is that I won't be able to finish building your brother, and I won't be able to see you two grow up. Always know that I love you two, and I am proud to be your two mother. Goodbye my sons. Remember I will always love you."

I banged from the inside of my capsule trying to get out. I felt tears going down my cheek. "MOM! MOM! Please don't go! Please don't die!"

3rd POV

While Model A was having his intense flashback Grey and Ashe were watching him with worry and fear for their friend.

Grey POV

"Oh no, he having another episode." I said as I watch my friend go through another trance only this time he saying things.

"Please don't go..." Model A said in his trance like state.

Ashe went to grab and shake the bio-metal. "A! A! SNAP OUT OF IT A!" she continues to shake until Model A finally regained his senses, and floated away from us a little looking down shaking. It looked like he was crying with no tears.

Ashe and I walked towards him. "A are you alright? You had another episode, and based on how your acting it seemed pretty intense."

"Your crying A. Why are you crying?" I asked worried something happened.

A continue to look down then after a minute he composed himself and looked at us. "That woman Kalinka Cossack..."

Ashe nodded her head in understanding. "Is she someone important from your past?" she asked.

Model nodded. "She was my creator. My mother. She created me and my brother..."

That caught our attention. "Wait you have a brother?" I asked.

Model A nodded in response. "Yes, Mother created me and my brother before she sealed us away. She was able to complete, but she wasn't able to complete my brother."

"Why wasn't she able to finish your brother, and why she sealed you away?" asked Ashe.

If Model A had shoulder they would droop, and if he had tear tucks they would be working overtime now. He looked down shaking again. "Because she was dying. She had an illness that we thought she beat, but it came back." he said simply lacking his usually spunk.

Ashe and I looked at A with an apologetic look. "I am sorry." she said simply clearly not knowing what else to say.

I walked up to Model A and gave him an apologetic smile. "Hey do you need a minute?" I asked.

Model A shook his body. "No I am alright now. Just go on, and tell us the badness Ashe."

Ashe nodded in understanding and continued on with the bad news. "Well the bad news is the location of Albert's lab is located in the most infamous desert area known as The Crimson Desert known for a monster that rumored to live there killing anyone who dare enter..."

"I don't see the problem the coordinates is to Albert's hidden lab will have a transerver. We can just enter the coordinates in a working transerver and just teleport directly inside the lab bypassing all that sand and the rumored monster." I said.

Ashe gave a sigh of irritation. "(Uh Oh)" I thought.

"Because the transerver on the other end I.E. Albert's hidden lab is configured to only to receive incoming signals from this specific transerver in this room so if an unauthorized person were to get these coordinates he or she wouldn't be able to use any other transerver beside this one. So he or she will have to teleport themselves to the nearest town or supply depot and go the rest by foot or Ride chaser. Pretty ingenious even if someone manage to get the location of his lab you will have to get past the monster to get to it since you can't any other transerver except this one." she explained pointing at the broken transerver.

She took a deep breath and breathed out. "Well at least there's a huge bounty on the monster."

"WAIT WHAT!" Me and Model A exclaimed.

Ashe looked at us like we grown a second and third head. "What you didn't know?" she asked and then she smacked her forehead in realization after seeing our clueless faces. "Oh that's right you two were sealed up. Well you that area is a good trade route for hunters, traders, etc because it leads straight to Legion City, but thanks to the monster travelers are forced to take long way to Legion City. So for a long there have been 1 million RC bounty on the monster's head, but anyone who took up the bounty either came back on the brink of death or don't come back at all. I think we should go in and claim that bounty!" he exclaimed.

I looked at her with my best you can't be serious look. She raised her hands in defense. "What we took care of Albert and he had Model W to power him up, so this monster should be a snap. Besides we be hitting 2 birds with one stone we take care of the monster opening the trade route earning a million RC in the process, and clearing the way towards Albert's lab allowing us access to what ever he has stored there."

I sighed in defeat she did have a point. "Alright, but we should contact and report what we found to Vent and Aile first, and see what they found."

Ashe nodded in agreement. "Alright lets get out here. This place is giving me the creeps."

I nodded in agreement remembering when I was attacked by Prometheus and Pandora when I first woke up. "Yeah lets go." I looked at Model A who was still looking down. "Hey A ready to go?"

Model A looked at me. "Yeah sure lets just get out here." he said slowly sounding like a great burden was placed on his shoulder.

Knowing that he is properly wasn't in the mood to talk right after today's recent memory episode. I took his answer and contacted Vent and Aile. "Vent. Aile. This is Grey can you hear me?"

I could hear was static until Aile voice came through. "We can hear you loud and clear Grey. You found something?" she asked.

"Yeah, we found some data and Model A remembered somethings. We will explain when meet you." I explained.

"Alright meet me and Vent in the archive area of Legion HQ. We found something that might be connected to Model A." Aile responded.

I nodded. "Alright we are on the way. Grey out." I responded.

I closed the communicator and looked at Ashe and Model A. "Well lets go back Legion HQ and meet Vent and Aile, and see what they found out."

Ashe gave a thumbs along with a smirk. "Right behind ya brother."

Model A nodded. "Yeah lets see what found out about my past."

We left the lab, but before I went through the final exit I took one last look at the glass tube I was stored before finally closing the door and continue towards Legion HQ leaving the plans of a mad man behind me.

3rd POV

On the streets of Legion City in broad daylight a green with yellow highlights reploid carrying an unconscious raider heading towards Legion HQ. He is wearing heavy armor armed with a shoulder cannon, shoulder rocket launcher on his left side, Vulcan cannons on his forearms, a jet pack, and other weaponry hidden within his armor. He looked up at Legion HQ through the T-Shap visor of his helmet. He looked at the data pad in his hand that listed a bounty for a monster in The Crimson Desert.

"Once I turn you in and collect the bounty on your head I think I will try collect the bounty on this monster in The Crimson Desert. (Once I get some help. I learned long ago that pride comes before the fall, and my pride caused me to die 2 times already.)" he said to the unconscious Raider, and thought the last part to himself.

The figure entered the lobby and went to the security guard in charge of giving pu the reward for bounties. He was a big muscular humanoid with a scar across his face. He gave a smile towards the figure like he is a regular customer.

"Caught another one eh? Don't you ever take a break" he said in an amusement.

The figure smiled under his helmet. "As long there are Mavericks and Raiders I will never rest."

The guard scratched his chin. "I wonder, why you try so hard anyway Vile?"

Vile let out sigh and let out a sigh. "Lets just say this my redemption and punishment for all my sins. Plus I want to make the world a better place for my wife and kid."

The guard nodded in understanding, and let Vile on his way before he left he saw a couple of kids one a boy and the other a girl both with dark skin and silver. There was a bio-metal following them. The bio-metal wad black with a red cap on its face with 2 white 'ears'.

Vile studied the bio-metal. "(Wait that bio-metal looks familiar. He looks very similar to that kid that X and Zero took under their wing. Wait it can it be that bio-metal is based on...).

He saw Grey and Ashe enter the elevator leading to the archive area. "(I wonder why those two are heading towards the archives. My instincts tell me they could help me with the monster bounty.) I thought.

I smirked under my helmet. "But first lets see why they are going to the archives."

Vile took the next elevator and followed to the archives where they will meet Vent and Aile.

(A/N: And done. Well I hope you guys enjoy it. Next chapter Grey, Ashe, and Model A will meet up with Vent, Aile, Model X, and Model Z. Vile will meet his old friends also and try to recruit Grey and Ashe.)
