@: sECRET mISSION
CiCi beamed into the Robot Junkyard while the rest of the Hunters and Navigators were distracted by X reading Octavia a bed time story. While normally she'd be the first to be there for story time - and last to head out on a mission when she was still on duty as a navigator - but she'd received orders from an authority she considered much higher than Maverick Hunter HQ, or anything born of Earth for that matter. She had received a directive from her Father.
She knew directives like this would come. It was why her maker had designed her body as he did. The Etheric Drive, the Ancient Phylactery, the Runic Code...her body was built for one specific purpose. It was time for her to fulfill that purpose for the first time. She had no illusions that it would be the last.
On first entering the area, she noticed a Heart Tank suspended high above her on a distant platform. Easily utilizing several of the mechanaloids scattered about as fulcrum points, she used her tentacles to rappel upwards to grab the heart tank before dropping back down to the ground.
As she began racing towards the end, she found that one of the Light Capsules was present. While it didn't activate for her presence, she was able to easily hack its program and download the armor upgrade for X and Octavia. She'd be able to transfer it into their systems using the very capsule they were both stored in when they were found, which was back at HQ and served as X's repair bay. With that done, she continued onward.
Given her abilities, it wasn't long before CiCi reached the end, finding a small metal cocoon suspended from the roof of a small chamber by metal wire. Once there, CiCi spoke up...but in R'lyehian. "You aren't fooling anyone. I know what you really are inside that casing, Morph Moth...or should I say, Nyaruko?"
The metal cocoon cracked, eldritch light shining from within as it burst open. The many colored reploid moth that unfolded its wings as it exited glared at CiCi, its eyes glowing with the same dark light that shone from CiCi's. "Cthuko," it growled in a surprisingly feminine voice, also in R'lyehian. "I'd heard your father sent you here."
"Much as yours sent you," CiCi growled back. "I'd hoped my first assignment wouldn't be you. We used to be friends."
"Until you and your father betrayed everything we stand for!" Morph Moth snarled back. "What worth could these pathetic mortals possibly have to make you both change millions of years of tradition and way of life?"
"More than Father could have imagined," CiCi explained. "Do you think he made the choice lightly? To send me to this world, bound to a Reploid body, as its protector?"
"Madness!" Morph Moth growled back. "Why go to all the trouble of inspiring a mortal to create tech so far beyond their capacity-"
"Father inspired nothing," CiCi whispered, the whisper cutting through all sound. "The one who made this body was a follower of Father's, and he made the Etheric Drive and the Ancient Phylactery as offerings to Father...a way for our kind to walk upon the Earth without damaging the weft of creation...so that we need never leave."
Morph Moth hovered there, shock writ large upon his robotic features. "...impossible..." it whispered. "That can't be! For a mortal to craft such a thing, it would mean that he could comprehend the true nature of our energies...of our very lives!"
"That's right," CiCi replied. "And if they can do that...how long until they are able to craft weapons capable of destroying us?"
"Like you!" Morph Moth snarled. "It's not just the end of our way of life...it's our own end you're bringing!"
"No!" CiCi shouted defiance. "The Order has evolved! We are no longer beyond its grasp. We are now a part of it...and there is a place in it for us."
"If you truly believe that, then why did your Father demand that scientists sacrifice to bind you to that body?"
"To ascend him," CiCi replied bluntly.
"What?"
As Morph Moth stared, CiCi smiled. "This body was built as an offering to my Father...but it was designed for me from the beginning. Its maker is now in our dimension, awaiting the conclusion of my mission...so we can be together. He is my betrothed."
"What?" Nyarko shouted, the creeping chaos of her nature erupting beyond the Reploid body that contained it. "You would lower yourself to a mortal?"
CiCi chuckled. "Mortals are a lot more imaginative in certain ways than you give them credit for, Nyaruko."
With an inarticulate roar of rage, Morph Moth/Myaruko lunged for CiCi, the Reploid parts scattered about flying to her, starting to rebuild a semblance of her true form.
CiCi leapt to the side, evading the first lunge. Leaping onto her opponent's back, she plunged her tentacles through its body, both physical and ethereal. "By the way...Father did design these weapons...the Star Breakers. You can feel it, can't you? Your etheric energy draining away?"
"You...you wouldn't kill me, would you?" Nyaruko whimpered as her spiritual presence faded. "I...I was just doing what Daddy made me do...you...you're my friend..."
"Of course I wouldn't kill you," CiCi chided. "These weapons aren't even designed to do that. All it's doing is fragmenting your spiritual energy...until you slip into the Sleep of Ages. I'll see you again in 1000 years, Nyaruko. I think you'll be amazed at how the world's changed."
Morph Moth's eyes went dim as the spiritual presence faded completely. The Reploid body crumbled. CiCi collected the weapon chip.
"I know the rest won't be that easy," she murmured to herself. "But this is my job now. To make mortals see our kind as potential allies, rather than destroyers." As she turned to head back to the HQ, she chuckled to herself as her systems began playing one of her favorite songs. "And it was humans from ages before this that inspired this path," she muttered as she began singing along.
The song sounded very different in R'lyehian.

So, we get our 1st glimpse at another side of Cici...
And... I was not expecting that...
So wait is CiCi setting up stuff for other games? Kinda confusing on what exactly was going on here.
Why do I have a feeling she's setting up the 'Mega Man Zero' and 'Mega Man ZX' games?
but this was cool.
This is Brilliant. Great job.
6560069
Interweaving an original plotline with the Mega Man X series and this particular story.
Also a reference to one of the stranger animes I've watched.
6560156
Cool! So which anime did you get this idea from?
6560164
Haiyore! Nyaruko-chan!
And reference, not idea.
Huh. I wonder if one of the future reploids will wind up being an Old Man Henderson expy, and it winds up turning out that Old Man Henderson's spirit, mind, and memories partially reside within it. Resulting in a Reploid that speaks with a nigh-incomprehensible Scottish accent, uses a rapid firing shotgun like weapon, and has an odd affinity for lawn gnomes who gives CiCi the creeps just because he seems so much like the feared "investigator"?
6560075 So... My Little Dashie is the first Displaced Adopted fic? Scratch that! What's the first MLP fanfiction?
This feels like a bonus mission, rather than a secret mission, but still. Also, Cici needs a hug. Some one needs to notice and quietly support her from behind the scenes. Maybe one of the doctors?
6560156 Somehow, while I like the pwny-verse sagas, I think putting in content so far off the track from either MLP or the source of the crossover is a bad idea.
6560564
It's only a side story I was inspired to include.
How much of it I incorporate will be based entirely in how much more of it the readers want.
6560845 I vote for.
6560845 I really hope you can make it fit into one of the two universes that are supposed to be present because a multi-crossover would be painful in this format.
Very interesting.
6560845
Sounds interesting. I certainly wouldn't object to more.
Nicely written, Tats. Good job (again).
I literally just learned about this anime yesterday!
Though I've yet to find a source to watch it.

More!
I suggest setting up a poll for this or something.
So Cici's goal is to protect Humanity and prove that not all Elder Evils are bad guys??? I think she needs to meet Moony and join Bad Anon. And if they take the shape of cute girls it's even better. I do think X and Tavi should question how they suddenly got the upgrades and weapon data and where Morph Moth went. To be honest, I was expecting Mothra from Godzilla for some reason....

See my latest blog tagging this story.
yes yes yes all my yes to this
. Another great chapter Tatsurou keep em coming 
Well that was interesting and somewhat unexpected. It does raise some questions about eldritch horrors and at what point technology might potentially outpace their power.
Real One: -starts acting like a glitched robot, with his head and eyelids twitching- I cannot compute this strange and sudden change of story, please reboot and explain! EXPLAIN! -whole body twitch and like it would contract itself to a ball-
i have always hold the theory that megaman and X are the same individual, that megaman never had the the three rules of robotics installed as an experiment of the doctor light to see how well a robot could interact with others without those, until the doctor wily started with the world conquest thing and rock volunteered to deal with it, battle after battle wearing down megaman mentally until he finally snaps and decides to kill wily instead of capturing him, after wily is saved by treble.
megaman returns to Dr. light lab where he undergoes his last update, and is again sent to follow a lead to wily new lab where he goes on a rampage and after possibly killing him, and battling a enraged zero is put on stasis by Dr. light in order to run simulations to make it so he never goes berserk like that again, that would explain those memories of zero bloody hands after being activated during X rampage on wily lab
Wait a minute Megaman Legends happens in a thousand years.
6560043 * opens bunker* he is here guys
And I skipped this chapter.
Why... do I have the distinct impression that CiCI's dad (Cthulhu Ostensibly), as well as Chrysalis' "Agent" from Merc with the Moth (I forget his name), are both acting on similar motivations, and that this will somehow tie into a much larger shit-storm during the My Little PWNY arc...? Wait... Infinite Weed...? Does the Omega-Tirek situation have anything to do with him somehow acquiring powers from The Old Ones...?
If that's the case then Oh Fu----.-.---.--.--.--.-.--.--...-.-.-.-.--.
Well, that's much softer than I was thinking had happened to create CiCi, what with the gory death and all.
Also, betrothed? To a... with...
<fatal exception> What was I saying again?
The song was taken down.
9857923
I forget which song it was.
9857947
Why Can't We Be Friends
and so we learn that cici IS actually and elder goddess and her mission is to work together with humans so that they can all live in peace... talk about a crazy concept, and rereading it like this just makes it all the more crazy how it works.
