You’re minding your own business on another uneventful day when two small, metallic objects catch your eye. Upon closer inspection, they appear to be pieces of intricate, highly advanced machinery, although they bear signs of heavy wear, their once sleek surfaces now pocked and scarred. Holding them in your hands, a strange sensation overcomes you, making you feel unsteady.
Your surroundings ripple and blur, the world around you twisting and warping as if you are falling into another reality. Panic bubbles up as you try to grasp what is happening, but your body feels...different. You look down to see your skin turning into sleek, cold metal. Your clothes are replaced by a strange suit, blue and white armor covering it with a helmet encasing your head. The armor glistens with purple gems, reflecting the surroundings which are now morphing into a far more futuristic setting.
“What’s happening to me?” Your voice sounds alien, no longer your own. It's deeper, mechanical.
Just as you attempt to comprehend your transformation, an overwhelming force pulses through you, and you feel something inside you tearing apart. The sensation is indescribable - not pain, but something far more disorienting. You watch in helpless astonishment as your body splits; you become two distinct entities.
One of the new forms is adorned in a light gray jumpsuit with green and white metallic armor. The other has a black jumpsuit with purple and white metallic armor.
You see your reflection in the surface of a metal wall. The face staring back at you is young, light-skinned but clearly robotic with light blue eyes. You are Middy. Next to you, the other Reploid with striking red irises and purple markings on his face is Techno.
“Who...who are we?” you wonder aloud. The words come out in a mechanical tone, resonating in your new vocal cords.
Techno, mirroring your confusion, attempts to speak. “What's happening to us?”
As if in response, a flood of information invades your consciousness. Your memories, your old life as a human—is washed away by a surge of new experiences. Middy, you were the computer genius at the Hunter Base, and Techno, your twin brother, had been manipulated by Sigma into using his exceptional hacking skills for sinister purposes.
The resistance is futile. You struggle, clutching your head, trying to hold onto your human memories, but the Reploid memories are relentless.
“No, this can’t be…” your voice quakes, but then another realization hits. “We’re returning to our true selves,” you acknowledge, feeling the fog in your mind lift, clarity stepping in.
Techno’s eyes widen with the same realization. “We were never humans. That was just a dream.”
A moment of stillness envelops you both. You study each other, understanding passing between your robotic gazes. “I’m sorry,” Techno finally says. His voice is laced with genuine regret for the pain and chaos he caused.
Middy, your true self, extends an armored hand to your brother. “It’s okay, Techno. I forgive you. We’ll face this together.”
Side by side, you and Techno step into the new world around you, the futuristic landscape of the Mega Man X universe unfolding in front of you. The other Maverick Hunters—X, Zero, and the others—greet you, their roles clear in your restored memories. You understand now what you must do.
“We’re back,” you whisper, a sense of peace washing over you. “We have work to do.”
Together, you and Techno, the Reploid twins, set out to join the battle against the threats to your world, your bond stronger than ever. This is your true reality; this is where you belong.

Prompt: Write a 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).
