Your eyes flickered underneath your lids. You were just an ordinary person, minding your own business, when two badly-damaged CPUs appeared before you. You had no idea where they were from or what they were for, but you felt a strange compulsion to pick them up.
As your fingers brushed the CPUs, you felt the world around you begin to warp and change. Panic welled up in you as your body started to transform. The clothes you were wearing morphed into a light gray jumpsuit, and you felt a sensation like cool metal covering your chest and limbs. Blue and white metallic armor encased you, and a helmet crowned your head.
You tried to cry out, but your voice caught. It was no longer your voice. It was higher, more youthful. You were shrinking, your height reducing down to a surprising 4.9 feet. Confusion clouded your mind, but the transformation wasn’t done. With a surreal sensation, you felt your body split apart.
One of you, Middy, had light gray and green armor with blue and green gems. The other, Techno, was encased in purple and black armor with a red gem. You looked at each other, confused, as your minds grew foggy. Memories—your memories—were being replaced.
“No! This isn’t me!” your mind screamed. But the force was too great. Your past memories, your personality, your human essence—they were being erased, replaced by those of the Reploids you were becoming. Your human brain felt like it was being overwritten by new programming.
Initially, you fought against this. Holding your head, trying desperately to cling to your human memories. But they slipped away like water through your fingers. You couldn’t remember your past life anymore. It felt distant, a hazy dream.
“We... we’ve always been Middy and Techno,” you thought, realization dawning. A new clarity took hold of you. These weren’t alien memories; they were yours.
Your true self awakened fully. You, now Middy, gazed at Techno, a sense of recognition and brotherhood welling up.
“Techno,” you said, your voice tinged with forgiveness.
“I’m sorry, Middy,” Techno said, guilt clear in his eyes. “For everything...”
You placed a hand on his shoulder, a gesture filled with reassurance. “I forgive you, brother. We can start anew, continue helping the Maverick Hunters. We belong here.”
The world around you had shifted while you were transforming, melding into the futuristic realm of Mega Man X. You were back in the place you had always belonged, where combat and technology were part of daily existence.
Both of you turned, your determination set. “Let’s go,” you said, feeling the purpose burn within you.
With your true memories and sense of self restored, you and Techno went forth to contribute to the battle against the Mavericks, knowing this is your real life, the one you were always meant to lead. The past life as a human seemed like nothing more than a fleeting, incoherent dream.
There was no fear and no desire to return. You and Techno, forever united, embraced your roles in this Battle Network. Your bond as twin brothers and exceptional Reploids was stronger than ever. This was your reality, your legacy, and your eternal fate.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of a human reader turning into Middy and Techno (Reploids from a video game Mega Man Xtreme (a Mega Man X game)), complete with gender change (if the reader is female), robotitication, 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, 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 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 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, 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 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)
