MegaMan ZAX is my fanfic (and technically fighting game idea) about if things went slightly different after, during and before MegaMan X7.
It's still in the concept stages but when things became finalized or atleast decent enough to be shown, I'll send them here.

Also, how'd I get the name? Well...
Zero
Axl
X
there's your answer.

#

Nice

feral plover
#

watch this be confused for ZXA brauh

indigo grotto
#

I forgot people abbreviate Advent as ZXA 😭

#

grgrgrggah I'm not changing the title of my fanfic though

feral plover
#

nice

#

how is Zero Axl X-mas going

indigo grotto
#

designing the characters and fleshing out the plot pretty much

#

I need to make new designs for the pre-existing Reploids but also make them not too changed to still be recognizable

#

basically X8 designs but actually.. good

feral plover
#

why do you dislike the X8 designs

indigo grotto
#

they feel weird

#

especially the faces

feral plover
#

i see

#

oh

#

will Axl still keep Red as an A-trans because that is comically broken and he only uses it once (and solos X and Zero in a 2v1 frfr) to kill sigma

feral plover
#

also looking at that

#

zero took so long to attack bruh (X was at least prepping and knew to get distance, Zero just got kicked in the gut)

indigo grotto

#

Wait, so what's this about stuff being changed before X7?

indigo grotto
#

some plot points have been changed in the ZAX timeline

#

like y'know, Iris not being dead

feral plover
#

nooo

#

iris doesn't die for the very first time

indigo grotto
#

no more "this isn't happenin'"

#

no more bad dubbing

#

/s

#

...though I guess that means that Colonel's alive too, seeing as how neither sibling can survive if the other dies.

indigo grotto
#

indeed he is

#

because zero knew how to freaking hold back in that fight against him

paper latch
#

This is everything I ever wanted!

indigo grotto
#

CHARACTER DESIGN REVEAL #1: X

feral plover
#

his shoulders can pierce

#

but it's slicker X with a still simble buster and design

#

nice

feral plover
indigo grotto
#

colonel just asks zero to go all out in a fight and zero just skedaddles

feral plover
#

nice

indigo grotto
#

CHARACTER DESIGN REVEAL #2: ZERO

feral plover
#

he has big meaty claws

indigo grotto
#

claws and buster, he's definitely going overkill no matter what

indigo grotto
#

-# CONCEPT ART! Hence the unfinished state!

"A perfect copy has been found."

feral plover
#

axl hit the meanest SNIPE

indigo grotto
#

who said it was axl

#

;]

feral plover
#

Red folded zero upside down

indigo grotto
#

Poor little Zero. Took you long enough to realize how much of a MENACE YOU WERE.
And you still are one. But the inclusion of being PATHETIC.

indigo grotto
#

drawing promo art for ZAX (which would reveal other characters I haven't shown yet like Axl), and I have not noticed how CHUNKY I made X's legs

balmy scarab
indigo grotto
#

him having hair and tying it specifically whenever he's wearing his helmet is a neat idea

#

not exactly a spoiler of my fanfic, but Zero straight up has his hair cut one time in a battle and he was devastated

indigo grotto
#

have an "oh fuck" ZAX!Axl face

#

as I finish the promo art

indigo grotto
#

what are the boys scared of?

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
indigo grotto
#

I know it's spoilers but graaghh imma just say who they saw

#

sigma and lumine

#

CHARACTER DESIGN REVEAL #3: IRIS

#

oh boy I hope nothing bad happens to this character canonically in the fourth X game

indigo grotto
#

let me mention something i thought about
if this fanfic had a series, there'd be times where each character gets a personal opening that explains their struggles or atleast relates to them, and it'd use a song that is related to the character heavily and is already an opening in an official game

Zero - Monkey (X5)
Axl - CODE Crush (X7)
X - Don't Wanna Be (MHX)

all you need to know and all i have to say so it won't be spoiled is that X's will be the angstiest

#

as for a main opening, duh no duh it'd be Wild Fang (X8) since ZAX is what one of my friends interpeted as "X8 but shit went differently before and after"

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

i might draw examples of what they'll be like

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

"I don't want to be.. I don't want to be fake now.."
ZAX Opening/Intro concept #1

uneven swallow
#

You're cooking🔥

indigo grotto
#

i also thought cleverly about this one specifically

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

there's a part in the song where it goes "i feel you, i made you, i love you"

and in the opening's concept, it shows Zero, Axl and then Alia
since those words could fit with ZAX!X's views of these characters

#

sorry this message took too long to send, my internet is tweaking lately 😭

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

I'll just note this before everyone gets weirded out when Sigma's design is revealed

he won't have his weird ass chin or chad face structure since my artstyle is not fit for that

#

it'll only be an artstyle thing but in-universe, he still has it

indigo grotto
#

neat idea I thought about X and Zero's gem thingies

uneven swallow
stoic hornet
#

So this is a X7 fan fiction? Interesting… I had an idea of making X7 a good story. It had something to do with Zero just sleeping through everything or dead (depending on timeline ending of X5) and X having to deal with Axl’s crap.

indigo grotto
#

kinda, it's mostly an alternative X8 but everything that happened in X7 and before was slightly changed to make up for the events

indigo grotto
#

fun fact: X is actually younger than Zero in the ZAX timeline

it goes like this from oldest to youngest

Sigma
Colonel
Zero
Vile
Layer
Iris
X
Alia
Navi (Maverick Hunter X's Navigator)
Lumine
Axl

indigo grotto
#

forgot to mention but lemme state this
it's not a list on who was created first, it's the programmed age they have, basically

stoic hornet
#

Maturity level basically... ha, axl is on the bottom Aile_Chuckle

indigo grotto
#

he's the silliest :3

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

I can imagine him doing that meme of a cat trying to drink water that's dropping down it's head

feral plover
#

Sigma an old fella

#

do we have a cane for him

indigo grotto
#

the only old man thing he needs is cracking his back

uneven swallow
#

Like the type of old guy who complains of others having fun or smth-

indigo grotto
#

type of shit he'd say probably

indigo grotto
indigo grotto
#

also a probably controversial change to Lumine, but they're trans in the ZAX timeline 🗣️🗣️🗣️

feral plover
#

no one cares about Lumine's gender anyways

#

outside of seeing if he's male or female

indigo grotto
#

yeah but I felt like doing that to make up for the design and I feel like it fits

feral plover
#

i see

#

now will Iris die again

indigo grotto
#

I'll neither confirm nor deny since it'll be spoilers

stoic hornet
indigo grotto
#

PROMO ART IS FINISHED!!!

feral plover
#

the sigma butt chin was truly too dastardly

uneven swallow

I don't even have the "ref" sheets for Sigma, Vile, Lumine or Axl ready

indigo grotto
#

I'll try to send them as soon as possible though

uneven swallow
#

Cool au btw!

indigo grotto
#

#1352299753437659177

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

random idea that actually sounds genius and cool
whenever a reploid dies, they just die normally like any other reploid or human would
however, if they die in a sacrifical way or reassuring someone that things will be okay, then they'll die the same way they do in the games, exploding into orbs

#

but there's a catch, instead of just exploding randomly, their body will start to have cracks around them before they become the orb thingsies

indigo grotto
#

ZAX trio but no helmet

stoic hornet
#

Sigma takes of his helem- oh right, he’s bald never mind. handsome_sigma

indigo grotto
indigo grotto
#

also I JUST REALIZED I HAVE ACCIDENTALLY MADE A FADED ZAX X DESIGN??? 😭😭

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

that sounds cool

#

my brain IMMEDIATELY brainstormed quotes for the characters HELP

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

that could be for X

#

as for Zero, it could be something like..

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
#

"Damnit.."
(if continuing) "No, not yet."
(if not) "F-Forgive me, Iris.."

uneven swallow
indigo grotto
indigo grotto
#

and yes, it's obviously just a concept

uneven swallow
#

And the I.D.E.A song, just..

#

I think for the end credit it would be cool if in the blue side was red and X's sillouette was blue, and the red side being blue and Zero's sillouette was blue 🤔

#

Like a contrast between the two colors, just an I.D.E.A ^_^

stoic hornet
#

X and Zero wouldn’t be happy.

indigo grotto
#

I had another I.D.E.A where it goes by each X game, and it adds in more characters as it goes

#

Zero a tweaker (the heck what the lighting doing)

indigo grotto
#

i'm gonna do a funni thing where I put the characters in an incorrect quote generator and see what funni dialogue I'll get

#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand this is our first one lmfaooo 😭

indigo grotto
indigo grotto
#

and we end today off with a fun fact:
did you know the Reploids in ZAX can actually eat human food instead of E-Tanks? Don't ask how or why, it's just possible.

feral plover
#

zero still found a way to kill iris even without the Z-saber

indigo grotto
feral plover
#

yes

#

axel the red finally called the maverick hunters on the maverick hunters

indigo grotto
feral plover
#

zero do not let the women get you

stoic hornet

I couldn’t resist, I added Starforce characters:

indigo grotto
#

Sigma really treated Axl like a ball and fucking DRIBBLED HIM

uneven swallow

and of course it's straight up not even done

#

still drafting things before putting them in the final script

feral plover
#

a trickery of man

#

it is not available to the public

indigo grotto
#

is it not?? 😭

#

did you know Zero and Iris had a Sonic 06 moment and almost failed to escape an exploding location in ZAX?

feral plover
#

yes, we need the access according to whom holds the link

#

this isn't fully public, but anyone with the link can access it as a viewer

#

so if they have the link and know about it

#

it can be access

#

but since their just a viewer

#

they can't edit it

indigo grotto
#

fixed it

feral plover

duped again, the script isn't there

CHARACTER DESIGN REVEAL #5: VILE

other than make X's existence super miserable

balmy scarab
#

Exist!

#

He gives me ptsd

#

Fuuuuuuuk u viLE

indigo grotto
#

it's not gonna make it any better but he just wrecks X's shit everytime he and X meet

balmy scarab
#

Watch me make a civilian robot that resembles Vile just so he can be murdered by Faded Mega Man

#

: [[[[

indigo grotto
#

LMFAOO

indigo grotto
#

so I can't blame you for wanting to make a Vile lookalike get murdered 😭😭

stoic hornet
indigo grotto
#
feral plover
#

it's Vile!!! Or Wawa.

feral plover
stoic hornet
indigo grotto
#

Zero was originally supposed to say "Freaks me the fuck out." instead

stoic hornet
#

Either way thats funny that colonel becomes a stalker and tries to break into Zero's house.

indigo grotto
#

moreso his room since all Maverick Hunters live in HQ

#

but I can see what you were thinking off

stoic hornet
#

Well, I kinda think the inccorect quotes made me think he had a house because one of prompts I generated basically had Zero angry that X, Axl, Alia, Palette, and Layer crash into his house randomly.

indigo grotto
#

you wanna know what's funny

#

layer and palette straight up don't exist in ZAX

indigo grotto
stoic hornet
mossy vale
#

inchresting

#

is this gonna be a written work or is this just a script for something else

indigo grotto
#

it's gonna be a written work since i can't really do comics or animated episodes
but i can do visuals of what most scenes would be or what the characters should look like

mossy vale
#

ahh are you gonna adapt it to like regular prose or keep it in script form? or is this just a draft for giving a good idea of events

indigo grotto
#

i only do drafts for if i'm conflicted on how something should transpire

indigo grotto
mossy vale
#

just like how a regular book is structures

indigo grotto
#

okay so i have realized what you meant
and honestly, only chapter 1 will be in script form
the rest onward will maybe become comics
i know this HEAVILY contradicts what I said earlier but i've had a change of thoughts

megaman iris gameplay, zero is the damsel in distress

#

brother interaction

uneven swallow
indigo grotto

nah because zero is friends with x and bass would probably not be able to even lay a scratch on him

#

so rock it is

hmmm

I'll thinksies about it

He dont want you brotha 🥀

indigo grotto
#

y'all think she could do it?

indigo grotto
indigo grotto
#

you know what?

#

FUCK IT, IT'S REAL.

indigo grotto
#

and now let's ruin this wholesomeness by a not-so-fun fact

Zero used to be a cannibal during the 20XX Massacre (aka when he killed most of the classic cast) in ZAX

feral plover
#

so zero eats dogs

indigo grotto
#

NO-

#

he just ate mega man that's all :p

feral plover
#

so he ate rush

indigo grotto
#

...maybe?

feral plover
#

which means he eats dogs

indigo grotto
#

not his own dog

feral plover
#

so he’s biased

indigo grotto
#

very much

#

he ripped the insides of rush and devoured them but would kill anyone who even upsets his little doggy

feral plover
#

so if sigma kills zero’s dog

indigo grotto
#

no way he's reviving next time 😭

feral plover
#

if x is possessed and kills zero’s dog

indigo grotto
#

x would die and the soul possessing x would die too

feral plover
#

i see

indigo grotto
#

imagine if zero kept that cannibalism in the current in the story 😭😭

stoic hornet
indigo grotto
#

he doesn't die the same way he does in canon

stoic hornet
#

No… Zero wouldn’t eat him…

#

He’d probably just straight up murder him.

indigo grotto
indigo grotto
stoic hornet
indigo grotto
#

even if Reploids in ZAX have the similar digestive systems as humans, Zero still couldn't finish all of that

#

as for what happened to Bass, well..

#

I'll keep it a mystery

#

it'll be reveal soon within the story

stoic hornet
#

Wily bakes him into a cake, tells Zero: “Happy Birthday Zero! Its your favorite: BROTHER CAKE!!!”

indigo grotto
#

"...WHEN THE FUCK WAS THAT MY FAVORITE, OLD MAN!?!"
but nah seriously that's funny if I made Bass become a cake 😭😭

#

but ZAX isn't a shitpost thankfully

stoic hornet
indigo grotto
#

Zero named the dog after his own DWN number so the dog's name is Infinite

indigo grotto
#

but you did get it right about who slashed X

feral plover
#

that’s X

#

i see

stoic hornet
#

X needs some Prune Juice

mossy vale
#

damn what did x do!!

indigo grotto
#

more like what did ZERO do

#

(he went maverick and almost killed x :[)

stoic hornet
#

Ah X5: memories

indigo grotto
#

is he okay mentally?

mossy vale
#

i think he has 52 mental illnesses and is ba nned from most public places

stoic hornet
#

And banned from some Pokemon tournaments for being too op…

#

also, weirdly has some Elpizo energy going on. Baby elves messing up his mind?

so uhh, useless but funni fun fact:
zero and alia sorta dislike eachother in ZAX

Whys that?

zero may or may not have taken alia's leftover sandwich a few weeks before the events of ZAX

who do you think X and Zero are referring to?

(double hint!: I already mentioned this character once. And it's a character that worked with the Maverick Hunters, but retired in my fanfic)

that's what's needed to get a chojin armor

feral plover
#

whatis a chojin armor

#

is it what happens when a reploid pushes past the normal reploid wall twice

#

a... super reploid? No, not that. It pushes even beyond that wall. an ascended super reploid

indigo grotto
# feral plover whatis a chojin armor

Super God Armor (or Chojin Armor), basically from a chip that was made by Gate which he gave to Alia who implemented it into X.
X can share that power with Zero and Axl since their new designs can account for the Chojin Armor. The abilities vary from each Reploid.

feral plover
#

he's a super reploid god super reploid now

#

and zero had like

#

what

#

super reploid and....super reploid 2 with xtreme's power up parts and black zero

indigo grotto
#

and don't worry, more exciting stuff happens in Chapter 2

just gonna state this if any of my fanfics ever get animated adaptations
the music MAY OR MAY NOT be taken from other X games and probably even different things X-related or Mega Man related, since I can't compose anything original

stoic hornet
#

Okay, maybe you should consider remixes tho

#

Maybe something like putting tracks in mm7 style or something.

indigo grotto

I can't do remixes either 😭

shes cute

Ah… tiny and cute. Probably would be irritated at us calling her that and blush in frustration, flushed red.

Since Alia needed a break, I gave her a chance to go take a rest, this is how she turned out after a full day’s rest through her reflection:

indigo grotto
#

"It.. hurts. Why does it hurt..? Why am I causing pain to myself..?"

mossy vale
#

Oh no

#

he needs a hug stat

indigo grotto
#

using his full power made him frew up blood 😔

#

and for context, Zero in ZAX only uses about 60% of his power at all times

stoic hornet
void zodiac
#

Lets hope it works out then shall we?

stoic hornet
#

It’s a bit of a struggle… I got 1 or 2 that turned out well. Just needs some retooling. So the best sounding ones that I’m fairly happy with is Hunter’s Den and Grey’s opening stage theme.

#

Z3 orchestra puts it on a whole other level

feral plover
indigo grotto
#

heck, when X got his Chojin Armor for the first time, the mere fist clench from his pose caused a massive shockwave

indigo grotto
feral plover
#

also cool boost for zero chojin

#

oh

#

if you are going to compare the chojin armors to canon power ups

#

how does chojin armor X compared to an ultimate armor x, next-dive armor x, glide armor X, and etc

#

same with zero and axl's chojin armos compared to black and white

indigo grotto
feral plover
#

storm tornado with a hand clench

indigo grotto
feral plover
#

they might beat serpent evolved at this rate

indigo grotto
#

essentially, treat Chojin Armor as Super Saiyan

feral plover
#

so X can eventually master the armor and keep it on all the time

indigo grotto
#

possibly
the downside is that missions would take 2 seconds to end

#

so X only prefers to use it in EXTREMELY dire situations

#

if he mastered it

feral plover
#

X doing everything to make his life harder so everyone else can get better life

indigo grotto
#

kinda 😭

#

there's also the fact that X is a pacifist but would take action if necessary, and the Chojin Armor is essentially "I blink and now you're gone" with how OP it is, so not only does X not want to use it because of how boring missions would be, but also he wants to cause the least amount of suffering he can do

just a way to represent how Zero is slowly and half intentionally yet half unintentionally destroying Maverick Hunter HQ while X is defending it from him

I have a dumb idea: make X, Zero, and Axl go on a date with Alia, Layer, and palette but it’s the wrong partner matchups. Like for example: Axl with Layer or Palette with X.

indigo grotto
#

very fitting comment about a picture of god armor /j

#

although it could be funny if done VERY SPECIFICALLY right

#

since there could be some problems if you think about it

indigo grotto
#

Chojin Armor Zero colors

uneven swallow
#

Chojin armor Axl when? 👀

indigo grotto
#

probably soon
when I have time to pause on writing chapter 3

#

also fun fact about the Chojin Armors, the Reploid trio are around the same height when wearing them
X becomes taller due to how beefy his armor looks, Zero is somewhat shorter due to how sleek his armor is and Axl's is the same situation as X's, which makes the three around the same height

#

even though without the Chojin Armors, Axl would be shortest, X would be around the middle and Zero would be tallest

indigo grotto
#

fun fact!: Zero sometimes like to hum the English ending theme of X5 to himself to calm himself down, he knows the melody because of two things:

  1. It's the first thing he heard when he first awakened before causing the 20XX Massacre
  2. He sometimes hears Iris play it on the piano

#

🥺

indigo grotto
#

let me state this for now

X4 in ZAX's timeline is basically
X: "general bro listen you're not Maverick, don't attack us we're just trying to understand if y'all did the sky lagoon bullshit 😭"
General: "nuh uh we didn't"
X: "oh okay then"

which basically explains why Colonel, General and Iris are still alive

#

and yeah, Double was there but he died
a certain red Reploid with an unstable mental health is why

indigo grotto
mossy vale
#

girly haired robot etc etc

indigo grotto
#

to be fair Bass didn't outright despise the idea of Zero like in the canon, since he's actually intrigued with the idea of having a brother bot

#

even if he didn't see him activate in his entire life

indigo grotto
#

fun fact!: X has a X-Saber! It's basically an edited version of the Z-Saber that he got from Zero in X5 and X6 now that Zero has his own Z-Saber ever since he was rebuilt

mossy vale
#

the xaberrr

stoic hornet
#

Even in the Zero games his saber was half stick and half free flow.

indigo grotto
#

the X-Saber however is shaped like the OG Z-Saber

#

Triangle sword… why can I imagine the X4 announcer saying that as a weapon name?

indigo grotto

mossy vale
#

school pictures

stoic hornet
#

It was on a dare

indigo grotto
#

also this specific artwork of the trio might be my favorite to make since you can see the differences between the three in one picture

#

X's X-Saber looking like a normal Saber but Zero's Z-Saber looks like something you'd see in the Zero/ZX era
Axl having no melee weapons (if we exclude his fists and A-Trans)
X being the only one with a charge limit being shown on his Buster, etc

stoic hornet
indigo grotto
#

I wouldn't say stick.. moreso a triangle

indigo grotto
#

Zero is either not care or pull out Omega Mode if Axl got bullied

#

And destroy sigma for the final time

indigo grotto
#

fun fact!: ZAX, Set2Get and Down Low are in the same timeline! Called the "Differ Timeline", because it, well, differs from the canon

MMZ doesn't happen in the Differ Timeline due to certain setbacks that happen between ZAX and Down Low

indigo grotto
#

ZAX ZERO HAS FANGS.
if it wasn't already made obvious
although.. he does tend to hide it since he feels embarrassed about 'em, only exception is X and Axl since he's around them the most

nah of course not, would be neat though
and yes, I'll do this with the other Hunters and probably Navigators too

X is like “It took 7 games and the guy who’s gonna replace Sigma is a flipping elevator manager!! AAAHHH!!!!!” X snaps and kicks a door down and beats the crap out of it as Axl and Zero look in horror at X going berserk.

#

OG Iris right now

indigo grotto
#

Colonel:

uneven swallow
#

So.. colonel has twin sisters? 🤔

indigo grotto
#

Iris -another- is from, well.. another universe where Zero wasn't the good boi he was in the main timeline and instead was still a Maverick menace, the people who made Iris and Colonel decided to rush things a bit and created Iris -another- so she can defeat Zero. It worked, but she felt unsatisfied so she literally went through another universe just to kill another version of Zero (aka the main ZAX one)

feral plover
#

zero being a bad boi made the creators unironically better

indigo grotto
#

speaking of irony, Iris -another- came to the main ZAX universe right after ZAX Zero regained his sanity again

#

since in a possible draft for one of the chapters, Zero got his shit wrecked by X so bad, all his sadisim and pyschotic thoughts disappeared

feral plover
#

how bad did he get beat

what did X do?

#

use super god armor times 20

well.. moreso Alia since she's the one who gave the trio their new designs
Wily just built Zero with his same design in X1

she's also the one who put the chip for the Chojin Armor inside the trio

Translated version:

THE OMEGA MODE IS A LAST RESORT MIND-REWRITE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BESTEST OF DR. WILY'S CREATIONS, MOST NOTABLY SWN-001, DWN-INFINITY AND THEIR SISTER. THE OMEGA MODES ARE KNOWN FOR MAKING ONESELF SO POWERFUL AND HEARTLESS, IT COULD ALMOST NEVER BE REVERSED UNLESS THE USER DEACTIVATES IT, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE MOST OF THE TIME.

lemme remind you all

do NOT ask permission to be an editor

since I'm not risking chances for the story to be leaked

and I'm a one man army, so no need for help if it's not malicious intent

worthy gate
#

The chapters required access for some reason.

#

I couldn't read them and I guess that happened...

indigo grotto
#

yeah because I'm working on Chapter 4 at the moment

and the doc page is closed when I'm making new chapters

so no spoilers or leaks are shown
