"Reclaimed Reploid Essence: Middy and Techno's Journey"
1 Points
1
Unaware of the profound transformation that awaits you, you go about your day, moving through the mundane tasks that make up your routine. On your way to your favorite reading spot, you stumble upon something strange: two badly-damaged CPUs lying on the sidewalk, as if they had appeared out of thin air.
"What are these?" you wonder, picking them up. Your fingers trace the unfamiliar engravings on their surfaces, and a sudden wave of vertigo hits you. The world wavers and pulses around you as if reality itself is folding and reshaping.
Your body tingles with an odd sensation that quickly amplifies to the point of discomfort. You look down in horror as your skin shimmers like a mirage, transforming into a sleek, metallic gray jumpsuit that covers every inch of you. Blue-and-white armor plates materialize on your body, with matching helmet and purple gems set into them.
"What... what's happening to me?" you cry out, your voice already cracking and warping. Terror takes hold as you're forced to bear witness to your own transformation—a height shrinking until you're a diminutive 4.9 feet tall and your voice shifting to that of a teenager's.
Then, to your astonishment, you begin to split.
"No... this can't be real!" you try to shout, but the words lose meaning as your very essence divides into two distinct forms.
You see yourself—no, two different selves. One garbed in light gray jumpsuit with green-and-white metallic armor, the other now clad in a black jumpsuit with purple-and-white gear. You recognize Middy and Techno from the Mega Man X game but refuse to accept it.
"This can't be us. We are not Reploids," you think, trying to hold on to your fading identity.
But then something overriding begins to take place. Your mind fogs up, memories dissipating as foreign ones rush in like an uncontrollable tide. Events, skills, identities force their way into your consciousness.
"We have always been Middy," you try to argue with yourself, but the merger of memories make it futile. You clutch your head with both hands, but the process is relentless.
"Impossible, we cannot be Techno." The voice of your once singular identity grows weaker, drowning in the realization of a shared history buried within you.
As your human memories grow more indistinct, you finally understand the truth: you were never human. The singularity you thought you were had always been an illusion—a dream. Middy and Techno, separate yet linked, had existed far before this human fabrication.
"We're coming back," Techno’s voice whispers, now in harmony with your own thinning consciousness. "We are awakening."
Surrendering fully to your true selves, your vision sharpens and your new—yet also old memories solidify. You are Middy, gazing at your twin, Techno.
Techno looks at you with regret in his red irises. "Middy... I'm sorry for everything that happened."
You nod, understanding and forgiveness flowing naturally. "I know. But we've got our chance now to set things right."
As you integrate fully into your surroundings, the world of Mega Man X solidifies its hold, unfurling itself around the two of you. Rockman X, Zero, and other Maverick Hunters become familiar faces rather than mere characters on a screen.
With a renewed sense of purpose, values aligning, and identities restored, you and Techno merge onto the ever-beckoning path of your true lives. Rebuilders? You are Reploid architects. Reclinators? You're relume Agents.
"It's time to help X and the others," you say, Middy—no, the true you—making the first step forward.
Techno nods, stepping alongside you. "Together."
Realize your aim: reality restored, future secured. As you walk side by side as Middy and Techno, you know that your place has always been here and that the transformation, indeed, is just the beginning of reclaiming your essence.

Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the 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 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)
