The XDive Project - Session 0

READY!

Barefooted X5-X7 Alia teleports into The White City Highway.

RiCO: This Level was the first ever design for Awakening Road. Some of it's background assets were used for Rock City,the opening stage of Mega Man 7. Since this is the "Opening/Beginner Stage" of this session,There will be no Star Points,nor Memory Points gained. Also,don't expect to find any Force Metals here. Those are found in the Main Levels. You will be gaining a tiny bit of Zenni for completing these though.

Alia rushes toward blasting away at various X1 Mavericks,while navigating the terrain. RT-55J appears halfway though and begins it's assault. Alia dodges the robots claw and blasts it's head with a Charged Shot.  RT-55J attacks again,but Alia dodges and fires a Charged Shot at it's head,destroying it. With the 1st part of the stage complete,Alia teleports out.

Mission Complete!

Star Points: x1

Rewards: 100 Zenny

(Back at the Main Menu)

RiCO: Welcome Back. You did a great job,Player. And it appears that being barefoot had zero negative effects on the Hunter Program. So that's great. Anyway,now that you have gotten a taste of XDiVE 2.0 action,it's time to talk a little bit about the Rank system. (ahem) You're character's Hunter Rank does nothing for overall stats..sorry. However,The higher the Rank,the better the stuff you can buy at the shops..And how much Money you earn after missions. The higher the Rank the bigger the pay. To upgrade,each Character will need enough Star Points, Though,the growth depends on the character. Meaning some characters will need more or less Stars than others to gain a Rank. 

RiCO: The Hunter Rank System goes like this: E-Rank is the lowest Rank,given to those who aren't proficient at Maverick Hunting. D-Rank is the next to lowest. Followed by C-Rank,which is basically the "Rookie Hunter" Rank. Then there is B-Rank,which is above average. The A-Rank is the 2nd best Rank,and the most common one for expert Hunters. SA-Rank is the Ultimate Rank,given to a select few. 

RiCO: Before I leave you to prep for the next part of you're opening mission,I would like to talk about Unlockable Characters and Stages,which can both be purchased at the Shop with the correct Hunter Rank,of course. Some Characters can also be unlocked by beating a Stage. Characters Stages can be selected in the 2 "Missions" Menus and the Characters can be accessed in the "Character" Menu. 

RiCO: Once you are finished with the rest of the Intro Stage,Player,the Mission Selection option will be available to you. And you can replay the Intro Levels whenever,just for kicks after completion. This goes for every other level,as well. However,don't expect anything for completing them,though. The End of Level bonuses can only be gotten once.

RiCO: Now that that's out of the way. Continue with the Mission?

(Player Chooses Yes)

RiCO: Good luck.

Note: From this point on The Player will only be working from behind the scenes,so that we can shift focus on the Characters. In other words,all of the players actions will be displayed through the characters. Kinda like with the old show, ReBoot. Also the "Video Game" aspects (such as the menus and results screens) will also not be written.

(A Barefooted X5-X7 Alia teleports into the next part of The White City. It is now Late Afternoon in The City)

Alia runs ahead,pavement feeling cool on her bare feet. She shoots down a bunch of BunbyHeli-Like enemies from X1 and eventually runs into those flying crusher Mechanaloids from X1. The Mechanaloids drop their spiked crushers down at Alia,but she rolls away and destroys them all with a charge shot.

Note: I DON'T KNOW the names of Most of the enemies,so I'm gonna describe them as best as I can.

As she does some platforming,Alia blasts some Flying Flame Thrower Enemies (who were seen in the white city preview screenshots,but were cut). As she makes it to solid ground,she sees part of a building fall near her. Alia rolls out of the way. 

The Death Rogumer appears and was the one that knocked over the building.  The Large Air Ship flies off. Alia gives chace,but is confronted by a Bee Blader (who's the boss of this area). The Bee Blader fires down upon Alia,but she dodges and fires a charged shot at it. It's a direct hit. The Bee Blader unleashes it's Walking Ball Minions (the ones with long skinny legs from X1). Alia destroys them too.

Alia powers up her charge shot and unleashes it,full force,at the Bee Blader,destroying it.

With the mission complete,Alia teleports out.

(picked up 100 Zenny after this mission.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Back at the Main Menu,which is now designed to look like Maverick Hunter HQ's Command Center and will be referred to as such from now on)

RiCO: Good news! ViA has managed to install Foot Massage Pads though out the various Stages,starting with the next few. These Pads will restore any lost Energy and will even be out of the way,so you can relax without any Maverick interference.

Alia (X5-X7): That's great news. 

RiCO: Indeed it is. I hope I get to use one in the future. A foot massage sounds so nice. (to player) Anyway,you only have 1 more area of the Opening Stage to go and once that's done,missions will start opening up. As will other things like the Shop/Lab. So ready to begin?

(the player chooses yes)

Alia (X5-X7): On it!

(Alia teleports out)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A Barefooted X5-X7 Alia teleports into the 3rd and final area of The White City. It is now Nighttime in The City)

Alia presses ahead and is met with a Gunvolt enemy. Alia dodges the ground sparks and shoots away the missiles. She then blasts it to bits with a couple of charge shots. Alia rushes on and is attacked by more X1 Flying Mavericks (The Crushers and Bunby-Heli types). Alia moves along and after some platforming,she meets up with A Purple X1 Ride Armor Rider.

Alia battles with and defeats it with a couple of Charge Shots. After that,she takes control of the Ride Armor and uses it to destroy the rest of the Mavericks. Soon she is confronted by the Boss - The Mad Grinder from Mega Man 7.

Grider tries to run Alia down and shoot his bladed mohawk at her,but Alia dodges and beats up on the Steam-Roller with punches from the Ride Armor. After a few hits,the Grinder is destroyed. And the Mission is complete.

Alia teleports out of the Ride Armor.

To Be Continued..
