Well... that was unexpected. I'm glad you liked the story enough to want a follow up, thank you.

I can't make any promises, as I never planed to have a another story set in this universe. But since you asked I'll try to think of one. But even if I do figures something out, it will be a long while before I get around to writing it. (There are plenty of other stories I want to write in the queue ahead of anything I newly think up.)

Just let me ask you this, now that peace has been restored and antagonistic source has been dealt with, what would be the basic story line you'd be looking for?

Edit: oops forgot to make this a reply

That doesn't really help answer the question of: more of what?

While it's not hard to contrive some reason to bring the guardian robots back out retirement and all, how do I do that without it just being a re-skinned rehash of this story?

I'm just not sure how I'd go about continuing this without it just seeming boring because it would just follow the same formula.

As much as I loved the mega man X games they really are all just more of the same re-skinned. And while that might work for a line of video games, it feels lacking to me in writing/storytelling.

So what I need to know is, how would I make such a story interesting? :unsuresweetie:

7197391 You might try the next story to be about a renegade robo-pony.
Maybe bar-o from X2 ,X4 maybe even X5 & X6.

Hmm.... There's an idea.

I'll put something in the queue to work on.

Although as fair warning, between the current line of stories I want to finish first and the totally unplanned nature of any sequel I make for this, it will likely be a good long while before I get around to it.

This was defenetly an enjoy able read. the pacing is good and the glossing over of the levels is no problem, maybe fleshout the boss fights but not overly much(no need to go full anime on them), the final boss could use some more deskription.

The only true problem I see is that in the begining the robots where deskribed to be hiveminded but in the end thier is one puling all the strings and has a megliomania complex wich is ilogockal for a machinbeing and I find a meglominiac less fretaning then a true cold, calculating, hivemind.
But thats me pursonaly and our tiny human minds cant comprihend a true hivemind anyway, so good jobb and looking forward to more if you diside to wright it.

I like the story. Though I bet if this story had a sequel: I hope it has Celestia meet the Robot Mane Six, have a slice-of-life theme to let them feel like what their old selves were like, and hopefully we get to know more about the current Bearers of Harmony.

On side note, I notice a few areas that doesn't have proper punctuation marks and few words are misspelled.

The autocowrecks are strong with this one.

That was an interesting little story.

Does need a good bit of proofreading to fix all the autocowrecks.
