Chapter 2: Revelations and discoveries

3rd POV

Many years have passed since the two robots were sealed and many things has happened since then. Axl was found though suffering memory loss due to being in hibernation for so long he fights to help protect the world and became friends with his hero X and through a twist of fate Wily's creation Zero. Now memories will unfold and two enemies will become brothers...

(Many years later since sealing day...)

It had been almost a year since the 8th maverick rebellion which turns out that the Jakob Project director Lumine was the mastermind and was using Sigma for his own goals. Since the discovery of the New Generation reploids being able to go Maverick at will the government stopped all production of copy chips and ordered the recall and destruction of all copy chips tainted by sigma. New copy chips were made using a new DNA encyclopedia that lacked Sigma's DNA data though production was limited to prevent another severe rebellion. Axl was under intense observation for a couple of months since his awakening after being hit by Lumine's tentacle. While on the outside everything seems all right on the side it was a different story for he has an unwelcome room-mate...

Axl POV

I walked through the halls of Hunter base which were thankful empty because I was occupied with the new tenant inside my head. Which was a certain former director of the Jakob project trying to convince me to join his maverick cause for almost a year. At first I panicked and tried to tell X and Zero, but Lumine prevented from doing this freezing my mouth or my hand when I tried to write it out. Ever since then I had to suffer through his maverick talk though he been oddly quiet lately, and he tried to take over when I first woke up, but couldn't for some reason though he did give me(accidentally) a power up everyone on hunter base called 'White Axl' stupid name and it made my friends worry. But after a few scans which couldn't detect the 'source' of my power up or any problem they left alone and just kept an eye on me. Since then our hostile relationship became a sort of antagonistic ally relationship. He needs me alive so he could live, so he is willing to work with me for now or until I find a way to tell x or zero without him stopping me. I walked down the hall talking to my 'guest'.

"(Well prototype it seems I was able to hide from another scan.)" Lumine said in a very arrogant tone which pretty much translate to 'HAHAHA. You can't find me.'

I mentally snorted. "(Just wait maverick they will find you and you will get out of my head.)" I promised.

Lumine chuckled evilly. "(I doubt that. Besides don't you enjoy my company especially that power up everyone keeps calling 'White Axl'?) he said with some amusement.

I rolled my eyes. "(Yes, I enjoy your company, especially your constant ravings about 'humans are weak' or ' We need to create a new world only for new generation reploids.', and other your 'we have evolved' bullshit during those first 3 months.)" I said sarcastically.

Lumine ignored my sarcasm, and continued to talk. "(I stopped didn't I? Besides you know I am right humans will just see us as tools to be disposed when not needed. You been to flame rooster's recycling plant. How many of those reploids were infected with the maverick virus? How many of them were simply outdated? Why is it when a reploid kills a human in self-defense he/she is put down, but when a human does it nothing happens?! That is why I embraced sigma's philosophy of reploid evolution. Only in a world made for only new generation reploids that there would be peace.)" he said forcefully.

I could see his point one of the things I learned from X and Zero is that a maverick is still a reploid with goals and desires. I mentally let out a sigh. "(I can see your point, and your right, but your methods are wrong becoming Sigma is not evolution and won't bring peace. Zero once said that a world only for reploids is a fantasy, and I believe in X's dream that humans and reploids can one day live in peace as equals. I will fight to make it a reality.)" I responded.

Lumine laughed bitterly. "(You believe that. Such naïvety. Humans will never see us as equals they will always treat us like machines and fear us. Were better off without them.)"

"(Mavericks aren't improving the situation,besides aren't all reploids made by humans? Without humans we wouldn't be here, and what about your creator? Have ever occurred to you that maybe he or she cares about you and sees more than just a machine?)" I asked.

I felt Lumine scowled. "(No, and you want to know why? Because just like you I was sealed, and not only that I was left incomplete abandon in some laboratory until Sigma found me and completed me and gave me his DNA to store on my copy chip which he perfected, and you can already guess what happened after he infiltrated the government's Jakob project. With the plans for the perfected version of the copy chip 'mysteriously' appearing on their door step. Do you think your creator cared, prototype?)" he asked with some venom and bitterness in his voice.

I thought about what Lumine said then answered. "(Yes, I think she cared about me, and I believe your creator cared about you more than you know.)" I answered.

Lumine for a moment before finally speaking. "(You said she. What makes you think your creator is a woman?)"

I thought about it and shook my head. "(I...I don't know. I guess I just have a feeling.)

I suddenly bumped into something knocking me down on my rum.

"Oh I am sorry Axl are you alright?" asked a smooth feminine voice.

I looked up and saw a tanned skin female reploid with long violet hair styled in a hime cut, her armor was light blue with sections of white or green. She had an air of professionalism and refinement.

I got up and rubbed the back of my head. "Yeah I am alright Layer. Sorry about that should have been more careful." I said.

"(Well looks like your busy. I will go and explore your mind a little bit. Talk to you later Prototype.)" said the effeminate reploid as I felt him disappear into the back of my mind.

"So Axl how are you feeling?" asked Layer bringing me back to reality.

I looked at Layer with a grin on my face. "Oh, I am doing fine. Feeling better since the moon incident can't keep a S-rank hunter down.(more or less.) Any way how are things between you and booblights?" I asked trying to draw attention away from me.

Layer blushed and chuckled at my private nickname for Zero. " Good we have a date tonight though he never lets his guard down which is normal for him, but he also can a bit over-protective of me. Last date we went on he nearly killed a cat because he thought it was a maverick hiding in the bushes. Then he always coming by to check on me. Also he said he is going to get you for that April fools prank." she said.

"I thought the red bra gag was a little funny. Anyway you can't blame him. X told me you're the first person he got this close with since..."

"Iris." Layer finished.

I nodded. "Yeah, X told me ever since then he was afraid to let anyone get that close again fearing they would die because of him. He is just afraid he might lose you like he lost her." I commented.

Layer nodded. "Your right. Anyway you want to spar with me? Zero said my Rapier skills have improved and I want to test them out." she said pulling out her rapier that Zero gave her as a gift.

I nodded and gave her a thumbs, and headed towards the training simulator.

3rd POV

While Layer and Axl was heading towards the Lumine was in Axl's mind scape exploring his memories, and comparing his DNA data with Axl's trying figure out the discovery he made a few months ago.

(few months age)

Inside Axl's mind a light blue effeminate figure explore passing through and scanning data streams.

Lumine POV

I explore the prototype's mind scape reveling in my success of transferring my 'soul' into his body. Oddly enough it was easier than anticipated with almost no difficulty. Usually there should be at least some compatibility issues even if we both are new generation reploids, but he is a prototype with a flawed copy chip. Yes, our DNA data similarity would ease the process, but not this much. I decided compare his DNA data to mine. I opened a copy of his DNA data and my DNA data comparing side by side, and after a few minutes what I found surprised me.

"They are closely related in other words almost a match. I know all new generation reploids came from him, but their DNA has some variation the reploid equivalent of how a parent and child DNA differ, but in this case me and the prototype are related not in a sense as parent to child, but brother to brother." I floated the two streams of data taking a closer look. "The question is 'why?'. Why am I related so closely to this prototype? Unless we have the same creator, if that's true then..." I close the data streams. "I need to investigate this maybe I can find answers in the prototypes memories and maybe in my own." I mused wanting the answers to this mystery.

(Present day)

I floated about through a virtual library filled with data pads and holo-books representing Axl's cumulative knowledge and memories ranging form when he was first unsealed in Red Alert's base to now. I continued to float not taking the time to look at the other memories since I already been through them, and for some reason when I looked through them I felt something for Axl when Sigma used his friends and family. I was angry some reason. I guess it is because of how we are related, but I only know him for a short. So why do I feel like I know him longer? I continued to float until I reached a huge metal door blocking the rest of the library. I found this door a few days ago, and weighed whether to open it or not. I know it will contain the answers I seek, but at the same time what will happen if I opened?

I prepared myself, and touch the door knob. "As the humans say nothing ventured nothing gained." I twisted the door knob and opened the door. The minute I opened the door a flash of light hit my face and suddenly images start to flood my mind as I clutch my head from pain.

3rd POV

While Lumine was exploring Axl's mind Axl was sparring with Layer with Axl having the upper hand.

Axl POV

I dodged back using my thruster to get away from Layer's rapier range.

"Nice job Layer nearly got me that time." I praised.

Layer smirked. "Thanks you are not that bad yourself. Then again why would I expect less from an S-Rank hunter.

I smirked at the comment. Layer dashed forward her rapier arcing with electricity. "RAIKOUSEN!(Translation: LIGHTING FLASH!)" she screamed. She disappeared, and knowing what would happen I jumped up in the air activating my wings and hover jets. I looked down and saw the trail of lighting coming from Layer rapier as she reappears where it would have been behind me on the ground.

I let out a sigh. "(Dodged a bullet there. Better not underestimate her next time.)" I thought to myself until Layer dashed under me , and hit the ground with her fist.

"Tenshouha! (translation note:"Amaterasu's Command" or "Heaven Shine Supremacy")" she yelled.

A pillar of light appeared form the ground she was standing on coming right towards me. There was no time to dodge so I aimed my pistol at the coming pillar of light and activated my Gaia Shield. A huge stone shield appeared in front me taking the brunt of the attack before shattering knocking me out of the air. I quickly regained control and dashed towards Layer. I landed myself in front of her while she catch her breath with my G-Launcher aimed at her flashing a smile. Layer looked at me surprised.

She smiled and sheathed her Rapier surrendering. I morphed the G-Launcher backed in to my Axl bullets and put it into hyper-space. I picked Layer up to her feet.

"Good job you gave me a good warm up. Those training session with Zero really help with your Rapier skills. Keep it up and you might give me a work out." I said laughing.

Layer smirked and laughed with me. We walked towards the exit when suddenly a wave of pain hit my head. I clutch my head as it felt like someone was hitting my processor with a hammer and then some. As I fell to the ground clutching my head in pain I saw images flash before my eyes. I saw a castle, a piano, a forest and many other images, but what stood out the most was the image of a young woman wearing a lab coat, Ushanka, and pearl ear rings. She had pale skin, blond hair with emerald-green eyes, and for some reason I knew her name Kalinka Cossack. After a few minutes of pain I finally gave in to the coming blackness.

3rdPOV

Axl was dragged to the Medical wing where he lay unconscious for 3 hours. While he was unconscious he was in his mind scape talking to Lumine demanding answers.

Axl POV

"Hey maverick was that migraine your doing? What are trying to do?" I asked demanding an answer.

Lumine just sat in his virtual chair rubbing his head a sign he suffered the same thing I have. "Yes prototype I purposely caused us the most excruciating migraine in our life." he said sarcastically continuing to rub his head. "Anyway yes I inadvertently caused that little episode." he said sitting.

"So you saw them too? The images?" he asked with all seriousness.

I nodded. "Yeah I saw them. Don't remember much though, only a woman with blond hair and emerald-green eyes wearing..."

"...black ushanka and a lab coat." Lumine finished surprising me.

I nodded. "Yeah, and her name was Kalinka..."

"Cossack." he finished again which was starting to annoy.

Lumine just chuckled not an evil chuckle. An amused one. "Well I guess that explains what was behind that door..."

I cocked an eyebrow. "What do you mean? What door?!" I asked.

Lumine out his hands behind his back. "I look through your memory banks or library and found a door. I wondered what I found and after much thinking opened it up." he explained.

"What what in the world was behind that door that could have caused me to be knocked me unconscious?" I asked suddenly interested.

Lumine let out a sigh. "I believe they contained your past, and mine." he said the last part wistfully.

"Wait, you mean these images were my past, and what do you mean the door contained your past?" I asked.

Lumine snapped his fingers revealing 2 data streams side by side. I recognized them as DNA data. "This is my data." he said pointing the one to my right. "And this one is yours." he said pointing at the one on my left. "Now since all new generation reploids were based on you they would have DNA data similar to yours like a parent to child, but ours is different." he explained.

"What do you mean 'different'?" I asked.

Luumine let out a sigh and looked at me without his usually arrogance or air of superiority instead he looked at me with a extremely seriousness in his eyes. " In short we are brothers." he said sounding like he didn't believe it himself.

I felt my mouth gaped as I stared at him in surprise. "I am your brother? How?" I asked.

Lumine shrugged. "My guess we were built by the same person, and I think it was this Kalinka Cossack." he surmised.

I folded my arms. "So what? We are going to go on an intense investigation traveling around the globe going through every archived file trying to find our 'creator'." I said in an over adventurist tone and a pose pointing at something.

Lumine cocked an eyebrow with an amused smirk in his face. "Or we could follow these coordinates we have in our memories." he said snapping his fingers making map coordinates appear.

I rubbed the back of my head in slight embarrassment. "Well that will work. I can use the vacation days I have piled up to go whatever those coordinates lead." I said.

Lumine pulled up a map of the world zooming in on what looks like Russia."Based on what I know about maps whatever the coordinates leads is somewhere in Russia. Looks like we are going half way around the world after all." he said.

I smirked. "Well I guess it is time for me to wake so get started. Funny we been getting somewhat along lately. I guess it just reinforce our brotherly connection, but why are you so interested? I thought you didn't care about the human that created you or rather us." I asked.

Lumine turned his head. "I don't. I just want answers just like you." he said simply, but I think really cared.

"You know trying to find answers is just another way of caring." I chimed in.

Lumine rolled his eyes and waved his hand. "Shouldn't you be waking up now, prototype." he said.

I shrugged and woke myself up. I opened my real eyes and looked around I notice I was in a medical capsule in the medical ward. The bright sting my eyes a little. I saw Cinnamon looking at a data pad until she saw I was awake.

"Axl your awake. You had a nasty headache and was knocked unconscious for almost 3 hours. Are you alright? Try not to move too fast I will call X and Zero in everybody have been worried sick." she said as she called for X and Zero.

As I wait for them I went over all I learned today. Which includes my possible creator, my relation to Lumine, and some coordinates. I heard the door swished open and saw X, Layer, and Zero enter with worried looks on their faces.

"Hey kid you're alright? Layer told me what happened." Zero said.

I rubbed my head due to the lingering effects of my episode. "Yeah, I am alright. I guess I just worked too hard. I took I am going use some my vacation time I piled up and take a few days off." I said as I got up to clear everything with Commander Signas.

Everybody looked at me with a strange looks. "Uh Axl you feeling alright?" X asked looking at me like I grown a second head.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"Well you don't usually take days off. In fact you never used any of your vacation from 'busting mavericks'." X continued giving me a perplexed look.

Zero folded his arms giving me a critical gaze. "Axl, What are you up to? Are you planning something? Cause if it's another one of your pranks..." he said.

"What me prank. Zero I am hurt by such accusation." I said in a mock hurt voice. "Anyway I am not planning anything like that. I just figure I could use a few days of vacation after that little migraine to regain my faculties so I can be at 110%. I said telling a half-truth I wasn't planning a prank, but I wasn't taking a few days just to relax.

"Well I got go clear somethings with Signas. Thanks for checking up on me everybody." I said.

Everybody gave a you're welcome, and told me to take it easy. I left the infirmary, and headed towards Signas office.

3rdPOV

After Axl left the infirmary leaving a suspicious Zero, X, and Layer behind. Cinnamon was too busy looking some medical and naive to pay attention.

Zero scoffed. "I don't buy it. He is up to something." he suddenly said breaking the silence.

X looked at his long time friend. "Come on Zero. Is it really strange that somebody would take a vacation after an episode like that and the Lumine tentacle incident? I mean I know I would." X defended.

Zero looks at X with a 'your kidding right' look. "X , this is Axl were talking about here. This is the guy who tried continue to go on missions even when severely hurt. The guy LOVES fighting mavericks almost non-stop. The guy who only takes mandatory vacation days." Zero said explaining his case.

"Alright, your right this is weird for Axl." X coincided.

Just as the relationship between X and Zero were like that of brothers, the relationship between X and zero to Axl were like that of a big brother to little brother. In other words X and Zero can read Axl and notice any strange behavior.

"So you don't believe Axl is taking a few days just to relax." layer asked Zero.

Zero shook his head. "No, while I doubt it is something Maverick related we can't deny the possibility especially with the Lumine incident, and the last few months he been acting strange. The hunters around been saying he sometimes talks to himself and lets not forget 'White Axl'. I say we follow him investigate." Zero said.

X looked at Zero with a disbelieving look. "Zero, whatever Axl does on his own time is his business. I trust Axl would tell us if somethings wrong." X said.

Zero let out a sigh. "I trust the kid. Hell, he like a little brother me just like you're a brother to me X, but just like a brother I have to make sure he is alright, and not about to do something stupid." he explained.

X seeing Zero's point nodded in agreement. "Alright, we can use the vacation days we have stored up to investigate this matter." he said.

"But what if its nothing?" Layer asked.

Zero shrugged. "Then it's a false alarm, but better safe than sorry." he said.

Layer nodded. X and Zero left the infirmary and headed towards Signa's office while Layer went back to the command center. After X and Zero dropped off their vacation papers they found out from one the hunter's on duty Axl was last seen using the trans-server heading to some town near some coordinates he found. After finding out this information they immediately went to the town Axl was heading too. While X and Zero was being teleported to the small town Axl was riding his personnel black and red ride chaser through said town.

Axl POV

I rode my ride chaser through the streets passing by cars taking in the sights. This town prided itself on its balance of modern and quint building style in some ways it was like I was in a different time period. The entire town was covered in falling snow, and despite the cold feeling it was comforting. In fact it always been like that with me for some reason snow seem to bring tremendous comfort and longing in me like there was something or someone important missing in the picture. I parked my ride chaser between two cars to think. I scooped up some snow from off the ground looking and rolling it into a white ball as I played with the snowball an imaged suddenly flashed in my head. I saw a two woman one with black hair and pale skin the other was that Kalinka Cossack person throwing snowballs at each other laughing then I saw my hand-pick up a snowball and throw I the blacked hair lady before I could see more the flash stopped and my head felt woozy. I shook my head to get the dizziness out.

"These flashbacks are getting weird. (Hey bro did you get anything?)" I asked purposely calling him bro to get on his nerves

I heard Lumine groaned. "(Please stop calling me bro. We maybe brothers, but I don't appreciate you calling me 'bro'. Anyway nothing new exactly just more flashes of Kalinka Cossack. Strangely when I see her I don't feel any contempt or hate like I thought I would for a human. Instead I felt warmth...) he said trailing off.

I thought about it and realized I felt the same way about Kalinka. I let sigh and looked at my surroundings thinking until I saw something that struck a chord. Across the street was an old fashion brick building with 'Abramov's Bakery etc. 20XX' written on the sign.

"Abramov? That name sounds familiar. (Hey bro does that name sound familiar to you.)" I asked.

"(You know prototype I think your trying annoy me. Anyway on the subject of Abramov that name does sounds familiar and this family having a bakery does as well. I propose we check the place out.)" he suggested.

I nodded in agreement, and put my ride chaser into par and walked across the street to the bakery. It was simple building compared to some places I visited with two glass windows for shoppers and a traditional glass door with schedule on the front. I entered the building the door let out an electronic ring alerting the employees to my presence. The shop was full of different kind of treats inside glass boxes. I looked around until I heard a feminine voice with a Russian accent.

"Hello welcome to Abramov bakery where our sweets are to die for. How may I help yo..." said a young woman in her mid 20s stepping out of the back room. She looked like almost of the blacked haired woman in my visions.

After a few minutes she regained her composure.

"Your Axl the Maverick hunter." she said sounding almost speechless.

I nodded. "Yeah that is me. I take it you heard of me? Want an autograph." I asked.

She seemed a little perplexed and nervous. "Uh hm. Stay here. I have to get someone." she said as she ran into the back room like a maverick was on her tail.

I just stood extremely confused at what just happened. I heard some shouts in Russian. It was too faint for me to hear correctly. I waited for a few minutes until I the woman came back with an older woman in tow. The older had the same black hair and seemed to be in her mid-40s or early 50s. She had broad built with some muscularity. She looked at me with recognition in her eyes. Then she nodded towards who I assume is her daughter.

She looked at me with me and finally spoke. "Hello Axl. My name is Crystal Abramov and this is my daughter Kalinka Abramov." she introduced.

My widen when she said Kalinka. Crystal seem to notice this and continued. "I take it that name mean something to you. Now does the name Kalinka Cossack mean something to you?" she asked with a smile.

I nodded surprised at the fact she knew that name. "Yes, I... have had visions or flashes of memories of a blond hair woman and someone who look like an older version of your daughter. What is your relation to her? To me? Is she my creator?" I asked desperate for answers.

Crystal stopped me. "My great-grandmother was close friends with Kalinka. Kalinka even left behind Cossack Castle to her so she can watch over its two treasures, and yes she is your creator and more. Now if you want more answers go to the old Cossack Castle and you will find them. Do you know where it at?" she asked.

I nodded. "Yes, I do. So the answers I want to know is in the that castle? Thanks for telling me." I said, but before I exit she said something.

"Once you find the answers you seek be sure to come back and here the full story, and I am sorry about your brother. I don't if you know this, but Lumine was your brother." she said with some regret.

I stiffen and looked down. "I know. I found out recently. Thank you." I said as I left the shop heading towards my Rider chaser.

3rdPOV

As Axl drove off two pair of eyes were watching from a distance. One pair belonged to X and the other to Zero. They followed Axl on their Ride Chasers from a distance and kept out of sight the whole time they followed him.

"Hmm that is strange why would Axl go inside a bakery? Reploids can't eat human food." X mused.

Zero huffed. "I am more interest in where he is going in such a hurry. He drove that ride chaser pretty fast even for him. I hope the kid just doing something innocent or at least stupid." Zero commented.

X let out a sigh. "So we are going to follow him? I hope your Zero." X asked knowing the answer.

Zero nodded, and started his ride chaser following Axl with X following beside him. While X and Zero followed Axl. Axl drove out of the town into the forest area after the road that lead to Cossack Castle after about 2 hours of non stop travel he finally arrived. He parked in front of the entrance, and got off the chaser and took the time to look around the familiar surroundings.

Axl POV

I looked around feeling a sense of nostalgia and deja-vu. I felt at home.

"(I feel the same way prototype. This feels like home.)" Lumine said reading my mind.

I nodded in agreement and stepped in front of the castle's entrance. Suddenly a blue light shine over me. I took out my pistol out of reflex preparing for the worse, but nothing happened instead the light disappeared and a computerized voice spoke.

"Scanning complete. DNA data recognized. Welcome Axl and Lumine Cossack." the computer voice said as the door opened let me or us enter.

I entered the castle and looked around surprised that the computer mention Lumine then again his DNA soul is inside of me(that sounded so wrong.). The place was well-kept despite being abandon for so many years. I walked up the lobby stairs and instinctively headed left down the hall. I may not know my way around, but my body does. I continued walked down the hall letting the unknown sense of nostalgia fill me. I continued to walk down the hall and into a library. There was a piano by a window with its curtains drawn, and a fireplace. What caught my eye was the deactivated metool which answered how this place was so well-kept. I looked around the library first examining the piano. It was a shiny black wooden piano with a polish. I pressed a few keys playing with a tune. What started out as a simple tune turned into a full song.(A/N: Play Kokoro Piano version. Look it up on youtube. Also look up Kokoro by rin kagamine and Kokoro kiseki by len Kagamine two good songs. Also bring a box of tissue. Trust me you will need it for the videos and this fic.)

Once I finished the song I looked at my hands in surprise. "How do I know that song? I never heard before and I never played the piano before, yet I feel like I heard before." I asked myself.

"(I feel the same way. I never heard the song before, but I find it familiar somehow.)" my brother commented.

I turned my head and looked at what was on the fireplace mantel. There were pictures on it. I walked in front of the fire-place to get a better look. I looked at each picture. A lot of them contain a what I believe to be Kalinka Cossack as child and her father a brown-haired man with glasses I knew his name was Mihail Cossack, old style robots one was even has skull face and another look like a mini version of X.

"Wait isn't this the original megaman. This X ancestor!" I said surprised.

Lumine was surprisingly quiet usually he making a comment or two, but now nothing. I continue to look at each photo until a few photos caught my eye four to be exact. One was a picture of me, the black haired woman in my vision, and Kalinka by a snowman. I notice that I look the same except I didn't have my X-shaped scar and my body looked like a black with red lines version of X's. One had me and Kalinka at the Pianoplaying something. Another had me, Lumine in a capsule missing his legs, and Kalinka who seemed to be working on him. The last Photo had me, incomplete Lumine, the black-haired woman, and Kalinka in the same photo. In all the pictures we were smiling. The longing sensation intensified, and felt that Lumine felt the same. I continued to look around until I saw a book-case pushed to the side and the metal door it hid open. I felt the urge to go inside so I did. When I went inside an intense sense of familiarity washed over me. I looked around at the outdated machinery and space in the middle of the room and by look of the power sockets on the floor there used be two capsules in this room. Me and my brother's capsules. I saw a computer terminal on the table by where the capsule would be. I touched the terminal when I felt a slight shock and a computerized voice spoke.

"DNA recognized. Subject: Axl and Lumine Cossack. Playing message form 20XX" said the computerized voice.

The computer screen flashed to life and the image of Kalinka Cossack appeared on the screen except she was different. She looked paler and sickly her blond lack vibrancy I knew it used to have and her eyes were duller like they were slowly becoming lifeless.

"If this message is playing then Axl Lumine my sons you have finally awaken found by either X, the Abramov family or some other party. I am sorry my sons. I am sorry my sons that I won't be able to see either of you grow up and do the great things I know you two would accomplish. I am sorry that I sealed you two away, but I had to the UN passed demanding the development and ownership of AI and the destruction of already existing AI. So I sealed you two away in hopes that the law would be repelled whne you two wake up." As she continue to speak tears weld up in her eyes, and she gave a sad smile. "Axl. Lumine. You two 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 to my horror I saw splotches of crimson red on it. "My two only regret is that I won't be able to finish building you Lumine, and I won't be able to see you two ever again in this life. Always know that I love you two, and I am proud to be your two mother. I pray that you have a bright future. Two miracles happen in my life. The first was that you two were born into being, and the second was the time we spent together no matter how short. Always remember that I love you both" she said the last part with a hopefully smile before the video turned off.

I stared at the screen as everything I remembered everything that I have forgotten my past, and Lumine remembered his past as well. I got up and walked out the lab towards the fire mantel. I grabbed the photo the last photo and headed towards the piano. I sat down in front of piano looking at the picture and starting to play kokoro then kokoro kiseki mom's favorites until I finally broke down tears stream down my face with intensity.

"Mom...is..de..ad. Nancy...is...dead." I cried caressing the photo.

I put one of my hands to my face and just cried letting the tears freely flow. The last time I cried like this was when Ihad taken out my family in Red Alert. As I cried I felt Lumine weep. I continue to play the piano as I remembered the times spent together with our mother.

Inside Axl's mind scape Lumine was on his virtual knees weeping. Tears streamed down his face at the realization that his mother cared about him.

Lumine POV

I on my knees feeling things that I thought I would never feel for a human. I thought I was sealed away forgotten because my creator abandon me, but she didn't.

"My creator." I shook my head. "No, my mother sealed me and my brother away to protect us. In her dying moments she protected us." I got up looked at the data streams floating above. "For long time I thought humans would always see us as tools and machines to be thrown away when we outlive our usefulness, but mother and godmother didn't see us that way mother saw us as her sons. Not tools. Not machines. Her sons. If she can see us as more than tools, what about the rest of humanity?" I asked myself as I go through my memories remembering the good times me and my brother together with our mother and godmother.

I wiped the tears form my virtually face. "I made a mistake following Sigma ideals. I bet mother is disappointed in me." I said angry at myself. "Well no more. I will maker her proud. I will help my brother, X, and Zero build a better world for humans and reploids." I said with conviction.

3rd POV

While Axl and Lumine wept for their deceased mother X and Zero found Cossack Castle and entered the building. They looked around eventually walking up stairs after hearing the sound of a piano playing. They followed the sound down hall at the end was a half-open door where the music was coming from. When they entered through the door into the library. When they entered they were surprised to see a weeping Axl playing the piano with a picture in front of him. The sight perplexed X and Zero because the only time Axl ever cried was after the Red Alert incident. X took the initiative and called out to Axl.

"Axl?" X called.

Axl stopped playing and looked at a surprised X and Zero. He tried wipe away his tears only partially succeeding as new tears form. After a couple of attempts he calmed enough to talk.

"What are you doing here." he asked surprised his voice sounding a little hoarse from the crying he did earlier. "Were you following me?" he asked.

X nodded guiltily while Zero simply nodded. "We were worried about you. Your behavior has been suspicious lately. We just wanted to make sure you were alright, and based on what we saw you aren't." Zero said in finality.

Axl was a little upset they followed him he knew they were right. His actions were suspicious especially the last few hours, and he couldn't blame them cause it just shows they care. Like family. Like brothers.

He smiled his usual cocky smile, but it seemed forced. "Yeah your right I have not been acting like my usual self. Thanks for checking up on me." he said.

X and Zero smiled giving a nod. "So Axl you were crying is there something you want to talk about?" X asked worried for his friend.

"Yeah when we heard someone playing the piano your were the last person we expected to play something like this, and surprisingly your pretty good." Zero commented on Axl's piano playing skills.

Axl picked up the picture frame of the piano and longingly stared at it. Caressing it like a religious object. "I found out somethings today." Axl looked at X and Zero in the eye. "Things from my past." he finished.

X and Zero stared at Axl in surprise. "Your past? So that migraine was you remembering your past?" Zero deduced.

Axl nodded. "Yes, I have had flashes since my little episode. I remembered some coordinates and came here, and discovered the rest of my past. I found the lab where me and my brother were built in by our mother. Kalinka Cossack." Axl said.

"Wait, you were created by Kalinka Cossack the daughter of Mikhail Cossack the man who was friends with my father." X asked surprised.

Then Zero spoke up. "And you have a brother?" Zero asked surprised at the news.

Axl nodded on both accounts, and motioned X and Zero to come to him so they can see the photo. When they saw who was in the photo their eyes widen and their mouth gaped.

"Lumine!" X and even Zero exclaimed in surprise staring at the picture Axl handed to them.

Axl nodded. "Yes, Lumine is my brother and our mother was Kalinka Cossack."

Axl the proceeded to tell them everything about his past form why he was created to when he and his brother was sealed so they could be upgraded and to protect them from the AI regulatory Act being passed at the time. He told them that he was based on X's basic designs given to his grandfather with his grandfather's Copying technology and combat mechanisms incorporated into his design which surprised X, and how his brother was built. Lumine would remind Axl details he missed. Axl even told them about how he his mother taught him how to play piano and how his godmother taught him how to make a perfect snowball. By the end of his reminiscing Axl and Lumine were tearing up again.

"I am going to miss them so much." said Axl and in his head Lumine simultaneously. Axl looked down at the photo in his hands. Tears falling from his face hitting the smiling faces on the glass frame.

Axl felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw X and Zero giving me a sympathetic look.

"Axl, I know you miss your family from before you and your brother were sealed, but your mother is still alive. Just like my father is alive. We carry on their legacy. We keep their memory going and honor them. You honor your mother when joined the Maverick hunters to make a better world for reploids and humans. Me, Zero, and you, we all carry the legacy of our creators." X comforted.

Axl wipe the tears from his eyes. "Thank you X and Zero."

"And we are always here to talk if you need it. Were family kid remember that, but there is something bothering me." Zero said.

Axla nd X cocked an eyebrow. "What do mean?" X asked.

"You know how reploids are imperfect copies of X?" Zero asked.

X and Axl nodded not seeing where Zero was going with his question.

"How is it with the new generation reploids they copied Axl technology not only perfectly but also improved upon it?" Zero asked.

Axl let out sigh. "I think I know." X and Zero looked at Axl all ears. "Mom kept blueprints and schematics of me, Lumine, and the copychip technology in her lab, so whoever found us would know how to fix us and so the world can benefit from our ability, but..."

Zero narrowed his eyes. "Red Alert and in turn Sigma found you and your...brother including the blueprints and schematics for you, your brother and the copychip which explains the new generation reploids having a better version of your copy ability." Zero deduced.

Axl looked down sadly. "And Sigma messed up my brother taking advantage of his amnesia. He wasn't the arrogant egotistical megalomaniac on the moon." Inside Axl head Lumine winced at the description. "He was a good guy you know. Arrogant and swell headed yes, but he cared about us." Axl said looking at the picture again.

"(Thanks Pro...brother that means a lot.)" Lumine said touched by Axl's words.

Axl let a smile touch his lips. X and Zero smiled back. "I am sure you mother is proud of you, and we will continue to fight against mavericks, and find a way to stop the virus and the likes of Sigma so someone will not become twisted like he twisted your brother. Right, Zero." X said.

Zero nodded giving a thumbs. "Took the words right out of my mouth, old buddy."

Axl got up and put the picture in a compartment in his armor. "X. Zero. I think I am ready to go I need to take care of some things." he said.

X and Zero nodded. Everybody went outside and back to their ride chasers and rode back into town. They stopped by the bakery where the Abramovs were waiting. Axl, X, and Zero went inside. Crystal explained what happened to them the plan her grandmother and Axl's mother set up, then they explained what went wrong. When the signal was sent out there was a maverick attack that forced them to evacuate. When a group known as Red Alert took care of the problem the Abramovs went to Cossack Castle only to find the capsules, schematics, and blueprints gone. Axl, X, and Zero just sat and listen to the tale and when she finished Axl and Lumine only had one question in mind.

"Where is mom buried?" he asked.

Crystal nodded and gave him directions to the cemetery where his parent and grandparents were buried. Before traveling there Axl went to the nearest flower shop and bought 4 bouquet of flowers. X and Zero insisted on paying for them, but Axl declined feeling it his and his brother's responsibility. After he paid for the flowers they went to the local cemetery where the Cossacks were buried. When they arrived Axl(and Lumine) went inside while X and Zero waited at the front gate. Axl walked a few meters before arriving at the top a hill where three graves lay under a huge tree. The first said: Mikhail S. Cossack 20XX-20XX Brilliant Scientist. Loving Father of one and Husband, the second said: Delia F. Cossack 20XX-20XX Loving Wife and Mother of one, and the final one said:Kalinka F. Cossack 20XX-20XX Brilliant Scientist. Loving Daughter and Mother of two. Axl and in some ways Lumine placed each bouquet of flowers on each grave with care especially on their mother's grave. After placing the flower on the last grave Axl got backup smiling sadly.

(BGM: Kokoro piano version)

"Mom. Grandfather. Grandmother. Me and my brother came to visit sorry it took so long. Amnesia and such. Mom, me and my brother came to say thank you. Thank you for bringing us into this world." then Axl allowed Lumine to take over. His black and red armor turned white and blue and his hair turned a silvery white. "(Thank you brother.) Mother I will make you proud. I swear it. I will make a better world for everyone. Thank you, for the time we spent together." then Axl took control and his armor turned back to normal. "Thank you for everything you gave us." he said in both his voice and Lumine's mixed together. Axl and in turn Lumine bowed their heads in respect and said a silent prayer for their family. A prayer taught to them by their mother.

"Lord God, You commanded us to honor our parents. Kindly have mercy toward the souls of our father and mother; forgive them their sins and allow us to see them again in the joy of Eternal Light! Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen." Axl and Lumine said prayng not only for their mother, but also Axl's father figure Red. Though they didn't know if they believe the prayer it brought some comfort to them, and would like to think they would see them again one day.

(BGM ends.)

After a few minutes of prayer Axl went back to the front gate content, but not before he dropped off the last bouquet of flower son his godmother's grave and said a prayer for her too. X, Axl, and Zero rode their ride chasers back to the bakery and said their goodbyes, but before they left Crystal gave Axl the deed to the castle saying that "It was his inheritance.". Afterward they traveled local hunter base and used the trans-server back to teleport back to Hunter HQ, and told everyone what they discovered. Everybody was surprised at not only who built Axl, but also that Lumine was his brother. They also were surprised that Axl could play the piano because he didn't seem the type. To prove he could X pulled a few strings and brought one in. Axl played his mother's favorites extremely well letting his brother take control without changing his armor color. Ever since then Axl would visit his and his brother's mother grave to pay their respects, and play the piano in honor of their mother every year on her birthday in the castle he inherited inviting his friends to listen, and every month when he can he visited the Abramovs. He and his brother decided it was best to keep their situation a secret for now until they find the right time to tell them. Ever since that day Axl always carry the family photo of his mother, godmother, brother and him where ever he goes.
