"Divisional Fate: Reploid Brothers of Mega Man X"

You're sitting at your desk, mindlessly scrolling through the day's emails and social media. The buzz of the everyday world seems so distant—almost irrelevant—as your attention drifts to the stack of video games on your shelf, particularly the nostalgia-inducing Mega Man Xtreme. A strange light flickers from the corner of your eye, pulling you out of your daydream. Before you can comprehend what's happening, two small, damaged CPUs materialize out of thin air, floating gently down to your desk.
You blink, trying to make sense of the scene before you. "What on earth?" you mutter, reaching out cautiously. The CPUs look fragile, yet there's an inexplicable compulsion urging you to hold them. As your fingers make contact, a jolt of electricity courses through your entire being.
The world around you begins to warp and ripple. Fighting the panic rising in your chest, you try to let go, but your hands have fused to the metallic surfaces. The familiar surroundings of your room fade into an unfamiliar, futuristic setting, full of machinery and neon lights.
Your body begins to change, every molecules morphing into something unrecognizable. Your skin hardens into a synthetic surface; your street clothes disappear, replaced by a gray jumpsuit. Metallic armor plates manifest around your chest and limbs, and a helmet encases your head. You feel yourself shrinking, height regressing to 4.9 feet, the towering world around you now so much bigger. A quick glance down reveals a humanoid robot—a Reploid.
"What...is happening to me?" you gasp, your voice distorted, carrying a mechanical edge. Yet the transformation isn't finished. An odd sensation grips you, as if you're being pulled apart. You scream—or at least, you try. The scream comes out as a garbled mechanical noise as your form splits into two distinct units.
You stand there, disoriented. You've become two entities: one in a gray jumpsuit with green-and-white armor and the other in a black jumpsuit with purple-and-white armor. Panic sets in as your mind begins to fog, filled with foreign thoughts and memories; resisting them seems impossible.
"No! This can't be happening! I am...I am..." your voice falters.
Memories of a past you don't remember flood your consciousness. You see yourself—no, not yourself, but someone named Middy. A computer genius helping the Maverick Hunters. And next to you, Techno, your twin brother, used by Sigma for evil purposes.
"I am Middy," you hear yourself say, astonished by your own declaration.
The other form—Techno—looks at you with dawning comprehension. "Middy... I remember everything now. We've returned."
You clutch your head, memories of your human life fading away. The personality, experiences, and existence you understood dissolve under the weight of who you truly are. You try to fight it, but it's like trying to hold water in your hands.
"Middy?" Techno's voice is hesitant, remorseful. "I'm sorry for everything...for all the chaos. I was manipulated."
The feelings of animosity and hatred you once held towards Techno in your human dream shift. There's only understanding and love between Reploid brothers now. You step forward, taking his hand. "It wasn't your fault, Techno. Sigma used you."
Your intertwined hands solidify this reconciliation, forging a new chapter in your eternal journey. The future you feared a moment ago now feels like home. The Maverick Hunters need you both, and the Mother Computer will once again be under your vigilant watch.
As you navigate this reclaimed reality, the final vestiges of your human dream evaporate. In your true forms, you move forward with certainty. The world of Mega Man X, once a distant fantasy, is now your irrevocable reality.
You smile at Techno, and he returns the gesture. "Let's do this, Brother. We've got work to do."

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of a human reader turning into Middy and Techno (Reploids from the video game Mega Man Xtreme (a Mega Man X game)), complete with gender change (if the reader is female), robotitication, age change, height regression, voice change, 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, making them realize that they 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 is those of a light-skinned 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 is those of a light-skinned teenager with his eyes having light blue 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 become their new brains in place of their formerly human ones), 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. They then realize that they are returning back to their real/true selves 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). 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 forgiving him), with both Middy and Techno continuing their true lives, helping the other Maverick Hunters (including X himself, Zero himself, Alie herself, etc), 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)
