You were having a peaceful day, simply enjoying your favorite snacks and unwinding from the day's stresses when something bizarre happens. Two badly-damaged CPUs appear out of nowhere and land right in front of you. As you lean down to inspect them, a strange, inexplicable energy starts to swirl around you, warping the very reality you know.
"What's happening?!" you exclaim in fear as the world around you begins to blur and twist into unfamiliar shapes and colors. Before you can comprehend it, you feel your body beginning to transform. It starts with your skin turning into a sleek metal and armor pieces materializing around you. Your once familiar flesh and bones are reshaped into something more futuristic, more mechanical.
You try to scream, but your voice drops several octaves into a deeper, masculine tone, entirely unrecognizable. The transformation continues; your height regresses from your usual five feet something to barely scraping past four feet nine.
In a blink of an eye, you find yourself looking at your new humanoid form in the mirror. Clad in a gray jumpsuit intertwined with metallic blue-and-white armor, you marvel at the intricacy while also feeling a deep sense of panic.
"What is this?!" you ask, voice trembling as it reverberates deeply in your mechanical throat.
Suddenly, a sensation pulls at you from within, and you feel yourself splitting. You hold onto your head as if your consciousness is being divided. Your single form fractures into two beings. One with a light gray jumpsuit and green-and-white armor, and the other with a black jumpsuit and purple-and-white armor.
In front of you stands Middy, complete with his green helmet and blue gem on the forehead, and you, now known as Techno, with the purple helmet and red gem.
"W-What's happening to us?" you both say simultaneously, fear rising in your voices.
Then, the fog sets in. Memories flood your minds, not your own but those of Middy and Techno. Panicked, you grasp at your scalp, trying to hold onto your lingering human consciousness.
"No, this can't be," you mutter, trying to cling to your former self, the everyday human you believed you were. You catch sight of Middy writhing, experiencing the same struggle.
"We're... returning," Middy suddenly mumbles through the haze. "Returning to who we truly are."
A strange, comforting recognition dawns on you. Yes, you realize it too. You are not losing your identity; you are regaining it. You have always been Techno. He was buried deep within your former 'human' construct, lying dormant, awaiting revival.
"We're waking up," you confirm to Middy, "We've always been Reploids. We always were Middy and Techno."
Your shared identities solidify. You both remember everything. Your experiences, your connections to the futuristic world that was always your true home. The dream of being a single human entity fades away completely, like a mist dissipated by the sun.
Turning to your brother, you feel a pang of remorse. You, as Techno, recall the darker paths you walked manipulated by Sigma.
"Brother, I—I'm sorry. For everything I did while under Sigma's control," you say, voice laden with regret.
Middy steps towards you, placing a firm hand on your shoulder. "I forgive you, Techno. We were controlled, manipulated. But what's important now is that we have each other. Together, we can set things right."
Hand in hand, with a newfound sense of purpose and unity, you both turn around to face the world you truly belong to. A world filled with challenges that only your combined intellect and bravery can overcome. The comforting hum of advanced machinery meld into the background sounds of the Hunter Base.
You glance over to see the familiar faces of the Maverick Hunters—X, Zero, Axl, Alia—all waiting and ready. They welcome you back with knowing smiles, their trust immediate and unquestioning.
"Ready, brother?" you ask Middy, a resolute tone in your voice.
"Always," Middy replies with a nod, his eyes sparkling with determination.
Together, you stride forward into your true lives. Your minds, now perfectly in tune with the blueprints of your Reploid nature, prepare for the battles ahead. You are no longer fragmented. You are Middy and Techno, twin Reploid geniuses, ready to face a future where you belong.
And as you embark on this journey in the world of Mega Man X, you realize this transformation wasn't a loss but a profound awakening. For this is who you were always meant to be.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of the human reader turning into Middy and Techno (Reploids (sentient robots) from the video game Mega Man Xtreme (a Mega Man X game)), complete with gender change (if the reader is female, the reader loses her feminine curves and genitals (even if the reader is male, he loses his genitals since robots don't have genitals) and her voice deepens into a male's voice; however, the gender change is optional and only if the reader is female), robotitication (turning from a human into a humanoid robot), age regression (becoming a teenager), height regression (shrinking from the reader's 5.6-6 foot height to Middy's and Techno's 4.9 foot height), voice change (becoming those of a teenager's voice), division (the reader splitting apart to become two different characters, with the original reader becoming Middy and his cloned counterpart becoming Techno), reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Mega Man X), and mind/mental change (with his memories and personality being completely replaced by those of Middy's and Techno's memories and personality, despite their best efforts on fighting off these changes (with one of them asking on what's happening to them), making them realize that they are returning back to their real/true selves and are waking up to their real/true selves (as Middy and Techno) from their human dreams (they realize that they had never been humans to begin with and they were not a singular entity, despite what their dream would want them to believe), and they remember that they had always been Middy and Techno). The transformation is permanent (meaning it is forever) and is completely irreversible (however, this doesn't bother Middy or Techno, since they had always been this way). Here is Middy's appearance; he is a 4.9 foot tall male Reploid who has a light gray jumpsuit on his body, which is underneath his green metallic chestpiece with a white top and light green lines running down the center from the white (which also has green-and-white shoulder pads), green metallic armlets with lighter green hems (which covers his lower arms), and green metallic knee-high robot feet with light green on the knees and white on the toes. He also has a blue gem on the front of his chestpiece, and a metallic white belt that is fused to his waist area of his light gray jumpsuit. He also has a green and white metallic helmet with a dark gray circle metallic ear on each side of his helmet and a blue gem on forehead, and his face resembles those of a light-skinned human teenager with his eyes having light blue irises in them. Here is Techno's appearance; he is a 4.9 foot tall male Reploid who has a black jumpsuit on his body, which is underneath his purple metallic chestpiece with a light purple bottom and a white lines running down the center from the light purple (which also has purple-and-white shoulder pads), purple metallic armlets with lighter purple hems (which covers his lower arms), and purple metallic knee-high robot feet with white on the knees and light purple on the rims of his robot feet. He also has a red gem on the front of his chestpiece, and a metallic white belt that is fused to his waist area of his black jumpsuit. He also has a purple and white metallic helmet with a white circle metallic ear on each side of his helmet and a red gem on forehead, and his face resembles those of a light-skinned human teenager with his eyes having red irises in them, and unlike Middy's face, his face has purple facial markings (running from his cheeks to his eyes) similar to that of Bass (a Mega Man classic character). Here is the history of both Middy and Techno according to Mega Man Xtreme (before the events of this story); Middy was a Reploid and one of the greatest computer geniuses in the world, and managed the Hunter Base's Mother Computer throughout the game to assist the Maverick Hunters solve the current crisis. Middy had a twin brother named Techno, a skilled hacker who was manipulated by Sigma into using his skills for evil. Techno and the Shadow Hunters hacked into the Hunter Base's Mother Computer mainframe, setting its data to cause chaos all over the world and reproducing fighting data from past Mavericks. In order to hack the Mother Computer, Techno connected his CPU directly to the computer he was using. Sadly, when X destroyed Techno's terminal to stop him from hacking the Mother Computer, he also destroyed Techno's CPU, and because Techno and Middy shared the same CPU, Middy too was killed. However, unlike in Mega Man Xtreme, the CPUs of Middy and Techno are not completely destroyed and have simply become lost (by time traveling themselves from the future world of Mega Man X into the modern times of the real world). The story is that the reader is minding his/her own business, when all the sudden, two badly-damaged CPUs appeared near him/her. The reader has no idea where these CPUs come from nor what were they used for, so he/she picks them up, but then the world around him/her starting warping and changing, with his/her body also completely transforming, gaining a gray jumpsuit blue-and-white metallic armor on his/her body and a helmet on his/her head. The reader himself (now truly a male if the reader was a female before), who was now a humanoid robot with a gray jumpsuit and blue-and-white armor as well as helmet, both with purple gems, is confused on what is happening to him, but then feels a strange feeling as he split apart into two robots, one with a light gray jumpsuit and green-and-white metal (Middy) and the other with a black jumpsuit and purple-and-white metal (Techno). They are more confused then ever by this point, but then their minds become foggy/fuzzy/blurry, as their memories and personality are being erased from their minds through the CPUs (which were once broken but had now been fixed and had become their new brains (in the form of CPUs) in place of their formerly human brains), making them hold their own heads as they try to fight off these unwanted memories (not wanting to lose or forget themselves as a single human), but to no avail. One of the twin Reploids (formerly the human reader) asks on what's happening to them, with both of them then realizing that they are returning back to their real/true selves (which the other twin Reploid (also formerly the human reader) says/confirms that they are returning/waking up to their true selves), awakening from their dream of their supposed single human self, since they are rebooting from their sleep (thus proving that the single human they used to be was not real and was only a strange dream they had, since they both had always been robots, more specifically Reploids, so it was completely impossible for them to have been humans and also impossible to have been a single entity). After awakening, the twin Reploid brothers, Middy (formerly the original reader) and Techno (formerly the cloned reader), looked at each other and both reconcile (with Techno apologizing for his evil plots and such, and Middy truly forgiving him, both of them genuinely loving each other with brotherly love), with both Middy and Techno continuing on in their true lives, helping the other Maverick Hunters (including X himself, Zero himself, Axl himself, Alie herself, etc) save the world, in the futuristic world they had always belonged. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
