Description I noticed that I needed to improve with anatomy (My heads were too big in relation to the bodies) so I tested it in this artwork.

"He looks just like you X"

"I know"

This is practically where my entire Megaman meets X scenario begins. Did you think he just found him and adopted him just like that? Nope. Rock survived, but barely. He was found in the same place you fight Cutman in Megaman X8. Practically, all of Light's old robots were there, but all of them sustained stain and shalow damage in their metalic composition and clothes due to spending 100 years without the right maintenance. 

Rock's case was worse. Aside from being phisically worn out and dirty, he was unoperative/unconscious. He sustained worse damage than the others due to the grief he had from losing Dr Light and not being able to be a hero anymore. This was Rock's life. Despite all the stain he had, his core chip was still there and in decent conditions. Therefore, he could still be saved as long as he goes through an intensive maintenance that would last up to 3 months.

During this time, X would spend his spare time, sitting bedside him (Sure as long as other reploids werent painting him, replacing his damaged pieces or cleaning since it would disturb them) Here, Rock is undergoing data recovery and software updating to heal his internal functions. The doctors knew that X's care would help him reawaken so they often let him in.

What tarnishes X about the situation is that many other reploids in the base think that Rock is not a reploid but an obsolete robot from a century ago that no longer has purpose. Other are helping solely because he is a discontinued relic from the past. X does not think the same. He knew he was his brother and just like the others,  he had feelings. He knew Rock was so focused in battling that he didn't get enough time to live a normal life. Only Zero seemed to support him.

Roll and Blues are already in the base as well, operative but stil dirty and in cleanup process. Bass and the robot masters are still in their hiding place (For now).

Well technically X is actually Rocky's little brother. Since X was built after him.

True. But X was built with higher physical age.

I wonder how Rock and the other pieces made by Dr.Light ended up in the Troia Base seeing that its a training program simulation for the Maverick Hunters, probably for safekeeping or just for showing like the Robot Museum from M & B?

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the base was built so close to where they had been. And when Cutman showed up, an scenario like this happened.

Axl: Wow, this is an odd oponent compared to others
Navigator: What!? This one was never programmed! What's this thing!?

This story itself is still being written. Remember that this is a "fan story" I wanted to share and not absolutely everything is 100% accurate to the original games (In a similar way to Maverick Hunter X). However, things like the elf wars and the events of the Zero series will still happen here.

I can see that though, maybe when X, Zero or Axl entered the place where Cutman appears, perhaps it was a "special-reward" for clearing all the levels of the training program with high-scores, also the way its structured the battle reminds me of Omega Zero in ZX, an old relic from the past battling a new generation.

Don't worry, I know its a fan-made story, I was curious to see your opinions and thoughts about it ^_^
