Description
It's Finished! I don't think I put this much time into the background since... Ashe's Victory, actually.

Well, this is Model AX Vent, from the fanfiction story, Megaman ZX Return to Zero! By RiceKrispie!

Lookie, I learned a new trick! ^^

The concept was so cool, I just had to draw it. I did ask first of course, and he said sure!

Original description called for a lot of gray, but it just looked wired, so I stuck closer to the original colors. So, yes I did a LOT of color play with this piece, so it's another thing that took me so long. Once I got the background done, I saw I only needed to add in more shading. !

Speaking off, I figured I'd add in what I had to work with. Which was a good amount actually. So Yes, I'll be putting in story segments. RiceKrispie is actually one Hell of a writer to. I've noticed a lot of people have faved this story in-particular.

Anyhow! STORY TIME!

"Could you Double Megamerge with me?"

Vent turned to stare at Model A for a second, not sure if he'd heard quite right. "What?"

"I have Siarnaq's DNA stored inside me, remember? That would help you see in the dark."

"You're right." Vent turned to pop off a few more shots over the top of the crates. "Do you think you can, Model X?"

"I'm...not sure."

"Why not?" Model A insisted. "You can do it with Model Z and the others."

"Yes, but we all have the same creator. You were made by Albert; your protocols may be different from ours. Then again, they could also be exactly the same. I honestly never thought about it before."

"Well it's not like we've got much else to lose at this point." Vent fired off a few final shots, then broke his biolink. "Let's do it!"

"Anytime."

"Yeah!"

With Model X already in his right hand, Vent grasped Model A in his left, then raised them both over his head. "Megamerge!"

The familiar white light filled his vision, but it seemed to last a few seconds longer this time. He heard both biometals say "M.E.G.A. system online" and he opened his eyes, the world quickly fading back into view. He immediately noticed a few weight differences and took a moment to look himself over. The bright blue sections of Model X's armor had turned into a lighter shade of grey, while the red gem on his forehead was replaced with Model A's trademark circle. When his head moved he could feel the weight of two fins sticking out above his ears, and there was a thin visor over his eyes displaying a variety of information, similar to what Giro had had when he was using Model Z. His chest and legs felt overall bulkier, with a bit of added plating in a few places. They didn't feel any heavier when he tested them though.

"So I'm guessing everything worked out all right?" Vent said.

"It would appear so," Model X agreed. "I had to do some fancy linking, but it would appear that our protocols are compatible after all."

"Fancy linking?" Model A exclaimed. "You were throwing code everywhere! That was amazing! I don't even know how you did it."

"It's what I was built for. However, I will admit that even I'm not entirely sure what exactly I did."

Another explosion hit the pile of crates, sending a few of them flying overhead to crash against the wall. "Can we admire your handiwork later? Just tell me how to make all this stuff work." Vent motioned at the visor over his eyes. "What's this for? And where's my gun? I'd better have a gun."

"You have one of my Busters, and you have one of Model A's beam pistols. You can make them appear the same way as you did before. The visor can display any of the kinds of information that the other biometals can - enemy weakpoints, low-light vision, energy sources, and so on."

"Sounds good." Vent made both weapons appear, the Buster on his right arm and the pistol in his left. "Keep talking." He activated the Model P's low-light vision and started firing at the suddenly visible army of Galleons that were now over halfway through the room, moving in groups of five.

"Model A's pistol still has it's lock-on capability. Any target you've got a lock on will appear red on the visor. I couldn't seem to integrate it with my own optical systems, so I had to make it an external; sorry about that."

"I'll forgive you this time," Vent said as he tried it out. The closest group of Galleons were suddenly framed by red targeting reticules. Vent released the charge on his pistol and a large plasma burst ripped out of the barrel. It had travelled no more than a foot before it burst into a swarm of smaller shots that ripped through the targeted group of mavericks, filling them with a dozen holes each.

"I think I like it," Vent said as the five Galleons exploded. He ducked back behind his crates when his visor detected an energy buildup to his left, just in time to avoid a series of plasma rounds from another enemy group.

"Oh, now this is interesting," Model X continued. "It would seem that Model A's transformation abilities are capable of interfacing with my VES."

"Your what?" Despite working with Model X for several years, Vent still had no idea what he was talking about.

"Variable Energy System. When I was...well, when the real X was alive, the VES was what allowed him to fire different types of energy-based ammunition out of the same arm cannon. Thus far I have been unable to recreate the effect through the M.E.G.A. system, but if I send the data through Model A's A-Trans protocols it should work...though only when using his pistol."

"So I can shoot lightning and stuff out of this thing?" Vent waved the weapon in question around.

"Not exactly. That arm can transform into any kind of weapon Model A has stored data for, which could then fire any projectiles out of it that they normally would. He'd have a better idea of what sorts of ammunition that entails, exactly."

"Oh wow, I get it!" Model A exclaimed excitedly. "Um, let's see, we've got Spark Balls, Burning Arrows, Ice Missiles...wow, this is so cool! It's like being everyone at once!"

"Burning Arrows sound useful, let's try those." Vent noticed that a part of his visor display changed to indicate the weapon he'd selected, and his pistol also changed into a cannon-ish thing. He fired a few rounds over the top of his crates and a series of flame-tipped arrows shot out in multiple directions. Several Galleons took them full-on in the chest, exploding instantly. "Three at once, I like it."

"Just be careful of how many you fire around. My linkup to A-Trans isn't perfect so you'll have to stop and let the VES recharge if you use it too much."

"All right."

And End scene. That's, more or less what I had to work with. So I read this section many times. Good huh? If you want to read it your self, go here.

Oh, but be careful, it can be kinda heavy on the spoilers for the previous games. From X to Zero, this story has it all!

Edit: He really liked the picture. I was so happy. The author of the fanfic, RiceKrispie, has also asked me to pass along his thanks to every one who commented, will comment, and view this picture! Remember, He says Thank you!
