After RasenganBoi lost track of what was happening in the RP, I thought it would be beneficial to start a topic for each arc that happens in the RP. This should serve as a reference point for current and future players. My current plan is to start a topic for each arc, and update it once a week. However, this is subject to change.
If corrections and/or additions need to be made, please let me know and I'll update this post accordingly.

The Awakening of Model RMonths after Serpent's defeat, the Guardian commander Prairie starts an alliance with a caravan with members calling themselves the "Watchmen". As a gesture of trust, Prairie commissions Vent and Aile to deliver a package containing Biometal Model R. The two meet the caravan and their leader Hiruzen in the forests of Area A, completing their delivery and returning to the Guardian HQ.
However, the Biometals Model X and Model Z sense the activation of Model R, forcing Prairie to reveal the actual contents of the package. Although Prairie had legitimate reasons to hide the existence of the Biometal, Vent is upset that Prairie seemingly did not trust her own friends, leading the commander to reconsider and allow Vent to verify the situation.
In fact, the Biometal had revealed itself to the Watchman Kiriyama, right when a stray Giga Aspis appeared to attack the caravan. On Model R's urging, Kiriyama performs Megamerge with the Biometal, becoming the new Mega Man Model R. With this new power, Kiriyama defeats the Mechaniloid.
The activation of Model R is also sensed by two other Biometals: Model D and Model ό (Omicron), who are respectively owned by Andrew and Vince. Andrew is the first to arrive, and Model R offers Kiriyama some insight on the boy's own past. When Model R suddenly attempts to force Kiriyama to follow his orders, Vince appears.
Mega Man Model R - Berserk!It is revealed by the exchange between Model ό and Model R that the two have a sordid history together, and Model R forces a second transformation with Kiriyama to settle their "unfinished business". This time, however, the Biometal suppresses Kiriyama's will and takes control of his body, forcing both Vince and Andrew to transform and defend themselves. Although Hiruzen makes an attempt to stop the fight, Model R responds by mercilessly impaling the Watchman leader with his Beam Saber.
Vince resorts to the power of his Biometal's Valiant mode to stand against the deranged Model R, until the Biometal suddenly malfunctions, forcing a separation from Kiriyama. Although Model R tries to escape, Vince is able to catch the Biometal.
Sensing the Biometal energies, Vent rushes across the forest until he is intercepted by Prometheus. The two have a bitter conversation and Prometheus gives cryptic hints about Model R's nature and the Game of Destiny before leaving. Vent soon locates the other Chosen Ones, and upon learning what happened, requests Kiriyama to return the Biometal, considering it a threat. Before the situation can be settled, the encounter is interrupted by the arrival of a mysterious old model Reploid.
Ghosts from the PastThe old model Reploid introduces himself as Chiba, and is immediately recognized by Model X and Model Z. However, the two Biometals still consider Model R the priority, and Vent insists that Kiriyama should return it. However, the Watchman refuses to hand over Model R despite everything that had just happened, almost starting a conflict when both are suddenly threatened by Chiba, a gesture that Vent does not take kindly. However, Chiba is ultimately uninterested in fighting and instead warns the chosen ones about the existence of a new threat and instructs them to meet him in the remains of Giga City before running off.
Realizing that Kiriyama will not hand over Model R willingly, Vent calls a truce and invites the Watchman, Vince and Andrew to meet the Guardians, which they agree to. They eventually rendezvous with Prairie, Aile, the vice-commander Fleuve and a small group of Guardians in the local Data Room, where they become acquainted.
Elsewhere, a Legion unit led by Price escorts the engineer Sage to the excavation site in the Arcadian Ruins under orders from the Sage Trinity itself. They are attacked on the way by Mavericks and Sage accidentally discovers Model T after falling in a hidden underground facility. Sage transforms with Model T to fight the Mavericks, but she loses control of the Biometal in the process. Sage is then approached by a second Biometal, Model J, and the girl manages to separate from Model T and transforms with Model J, who allows Sage to retain her will. The Mega Man Model J defeated the Mavericks, but the victory is soon interrupted by Pandora, who strikes down Price's unit and takes Model T away. In light of the recent developments, Price decides to contact the Guardians.
Trials and TribulationsThe meeting in Area A is initially disrupted by the Guardian Chêne, who is outraged by the presence of so many Chosen Ones and deems all Biometals a threat before Prairie orders the girl to return to the base. However, the news about the incident in the Arcadian Ruins forces the Guardians to interrupt the reunion altogether.
Prairie and Aile leave to the Arcadian Ruins, while Vent ventures into the forest once again in an attempt to track down Chiba. Fleuve proposes a test to Vince, Andrew and Kiriyama in order to admit them as Guardians and grant them access to the HQ. The three are challenged to catch a customized Mettaur with a certification inside, which promptly rushes into the city. The test is monitored by Guardians stationed in the city, and despite what had happened earlier, Chêne appears in the city as one of the Guardians assigned to the task.
The Mettaur eludes the three Mega Men for some time, until it eventually lures the trio into the remains of what used to be the main building of Slither Inc.; something the small Mechaniloid was not supposed to do. As the Chosen Ones chase the Mettaur within the building, an attempt at communication from the Guardians is blocked by a jamming signal. At the same time, Model R once again begis to malfunction, prompting Vince to lend his weapon to the Watchman before leaving in an effort to reestablish contact. As Andrew and Kiriyama resume their search for the Mettaur, the two are ambushed by a Pseudoroid: Bzzkrieg the Vespuloid, who was able to hack into the Mettaur's systems in order to lure the Chosen Ones into his trap.
Suspicious of the chosen ones' movements, Chêne follows the trio into the building, but she is unable to advance beyond a disabled elevator platform. The female Guardian is then surprised by a shady young man named Zexen, resulting in a tense encounter which is interrupted when the elevator begins to rise while Mavericks attack from above.
The Mysteries of Model J and Model TIn the Arcadian Ruins, Prairie and Aile are received by Sage and commander Price, who explains the incident which resulted in the discovery of Model T and Model J, revealing suspicions about the Sage Trinity due to the Serpent case. Aile moves on to investigate the ruins where the Biometals were discovered alongside Sage and Price while Prairie is safeguarded by Price's troops. The three eventually discover an old recording from an unidentified person who mentions a crime he had committed in the past, the rediscovery of Cyberspace and his role in the reconstruction of two Reploids; Juno and Tyberium. However, the recording was interrupted before more details were given.
While Price extracts the data from the Transerver the recording was discovered in, Sage manages to remove a storage device from one of the damaged consoles. However, Model J starts to suffer a weakening effect within the underground facility, prompting the group to return to the surface. The group is attacked on the way by invading Mavericks, who are quickly disposed of. The group reaches the surface only to find that the excavation site is under another attack from Mavericks. Although Sage is eager to join the fray, she is immediately caught by another Pseudoroid: Hawkett the Aquiroid.
Maverick RageSage manages to break free of Hawkett's grip, and the Mega Man Model J confronts the Pseudoroid. However, Sage is surprised when Hawkett does not display hostile intent, and ultimately decides to not fight Hawkett after listening to his words about the true nature of the Mavericks, and the power that she now possesses. Satisfied with Sage's reaction, the Pseudoroid encourages the chosen one to survive enough to learn the answers to her questions before departing.
Riding a motorcycle stolen from a Galleon Rider, Aile leaves Price with Sage in order to verify the situation in the site, concerned about Prairie's safety. Aile comes across multiple fires and Mavericks on her path until she suffers a surprise attack from a Desert Aspis, which is also responsible for the fires. A second Desert Aspis also attacks Sage and Price, while an amnesiac fighter named Kile awakens from hibernation in an underground bunker. One child pursued by Mavericks is saved by Kile, who promises to save the people in danger. He soon finds Aile, who was struggling against the Desert Aspis, and distracts the Mechaniloid to give Aile the opening to defeat it.
Before Aile can talk to Kile, the man runs off to fight Mavericks and the girl starts to suffer the strain from all the fighting. Although she finds Prairie safe and learns from the commander that the Guardians are on the way, Aile still decides to pursue the one who had just helped her, and also find Sage and Price. Aile joins Kile in time to protect him from Price's troops, who had mistaken him for another Maverick, and the two eventually locate Sage and Price, who were badly injured after working together to defeat the second Desert Aspis.
Snake BiteUnable to rejoin Andrew and Kiriyama, who were battling Bzzkrieg, Vince searches for an alternate path, discovering Chêne and Zexen under attack. The Mega Man Model ó joins the fight atop the rising platform, and the three are soon ambushed by a giant arachnid Mechaniloid; the Spidrill, who was also under Bzzkrieg's control. Although Chêne is initially paralyzed in fear, she manages to recover and the three work together to defeat the Spidrill. However, the defeated Mechaniloid collapses on the lift, destroying the platform and sending the trio in a free fall; the Mega Man Model ó resorts to using the Valiant mode of his Biometal to bring the others to the bottom safely, but this depletes the Mega Man Model ó's remaining energy, cancelling his transformation and rendering Vince powerless. The group is found by the other Guardians, who check for injuries as they assess the situation. Chêne is sent back to HQ to treat her wounds.
Bzzkrieg assaults Andrew and Kiriyama relentlessly, causing severe injuries before Kiriyama manages to transform with Model R again and defeat the Pseudoroid in a near-suicidal maneuver. Bzzkrieg's destruction also shuts down the jamming, allowing normal communication. The chosen ones are unable to celebrate, however, as they are faced afterwards by none other than Prometheus and Pandora.
Preon PerilAfter abandoning the chosen ones in the forest, Chiba makes his way towards the volcanic area of Area K, where he defeats a large version of an ancient Mechaniloid design identified as "Orion Gunner". Afterwards, Chiba sneaks his way through the volcano and leaves a recording on the shores. Despite the presence of a local Transerver, Chiba instead traverses the sea towards the remains of Giga City on his own.
When Vent follows Chiba's trail into the volcano, he discovers a large number of Preons, smaller versions of the Orion Gunner which were originally produced in Giga City. Due to the existence of research teams in the volcano, Vent decides to fight the Mechaniloids, only to find that the research teams had already evacuated. Although Vent finds Chiba's recording, he is frustrated by the time wasted and uses the Transerver to return to the Guardian HQ.
On his way to the bridge, Vent finds Chêne, who had just returned herself, and inquires the girl about her wounds. Chêne only hints that "the Biometals are doing it again" before walking away to see the nurse Muguet, leaving Vent to ask Fleuve for the details. An exaspherated Fleuve informs Vent about the situation in Slither Inc, and Vent leaves Chiba's recording with the vice-commander before rushing back to the building.
Deus ex MegaThe Guardians in the remains of the elevator shaft manage to establish contact with Fleuve, who orders the Guardians to find the chosen ones and pull back quickly. Vince is transferred to the base, and since they also have an interest in interrogating Zexen, they transfer him as well.
Worn from the fight against Bzzkrieg, Andrew and Kiriyama are mocked and berated by Pandora and Prometheus respectively. Model R makes a cocky attempt at standing up against Prometheus, but the Biometal is punished when Prometheus grabs the Biometal and envelops it with his flames. This event triggers a change in the Biometal, causing it to transform into its completed form, to Prometheus's own glee.
Although Kiriyama challenges Prometheus to a fight, Prometheus prepares himself to leave under the claim that his work is done. However, both Prometheus and Pandora sense the presence of Vent, who breaks into the room. Although Vent is surprised by Kiriyama's change, Prometheus reminds him of their previous conversation about Model R and reveals that his intent was to unleash the potential within the Biometal. Vent reiterates his objective of ending the Game of Destiny, but Prometheus mocks him by remininding him of his role in Serpent's fall and the awakening of Model W. He taunts Vent with the statement that he will destroy any other Mega Man who opposes him, enraging Vent just before he finally leaves with Pandora.
Vent soon notices that Andrew is in critical condition due to Bzzkrieg's assault, and immediately teleports him, as well as Kiriyama, to the Guardian HQ. The remaining Guardians are informed that Vent handled the situation, and as such they also use portable Transervers to return to the airship.
IntermissionVince again meets Fleuve, who was waiting near the transerver. Zexen is escorted by Carrelet to a room where he can await interrogation, while Andrew and Kiriyama are immediately taken to the emergency rooms. However, Zexen is stopped on his tracks by Chêne, who does not trust him. Her protests draw attention from Fleuve, Vince and Vent, who had just returned, and Fleuve himself scolds Chêne for disobeying orders and entering the ruins of Slither Inc.'s head office alone. However, Vince intercedes, believing that the Maverick attack was punishment enough and that Chêne has learned her lesson. Vent expresses that despite their strained relationship, he still cares about Chêne and instead of punishing Chêne, Fleuve asks Chêne to rest. Taken aback, Chêne apologizes to Fleuve for what she did.
After the vice commander returns to the bridge with the Chosen Ones, Chêne decides to accompany Carrelet as she still feels the need to watch Zexen herself. Carrelet reluctantly agrees after Chêne promises to not start "anything uncalled for" and the three settle down in Carrelet's room, where Chêne asks Carrelet for a drink. While Carrelet goes to the vending machine, Zexen starts a conversation with Chêne, apologizing for his rude manners. Although the gesture surprises Chêne, the girl is still unwilling to trust Zexen.
In the bridge, Fleuve, Vent and Vince learn what happened to Andrew and Kiriyama by verifying the memory data of the Mettaur. Afterwards, they debate Vent's discoveries in Area K, and the Mega Man Model ZX hands over computer chips that he gathered from the Preons he defeated earlier. However, they are unable to decide their next course of action due to the attack on the Arcadian Ruins, and Fleuve decides to return to his research lab to scan Model R. After obtaining the Biometal data, Fleuve asks Vent to pick up Model D from the emergency room to scan it as well. After a brief run-in with Sardine, Vent heads to the emergency room with Vince and Model R.
Meanwhile, Zexen reveals to Chêne his occupation as a private investigator and, although unwilling to reveal the reasons he was in the building, he gives in to Chêne's persistent questioning and explains that he was investigating Model W for leads on Anton Cordell, a renegade scientist said to have attempted DNA ressurrection with a modified Model W fragment. As Carrelet returns to the room, the Chêne tells him to bring Fleuve immediately and Carrelet grudgingly leaves again to call the vice commander.
Unknown to them, Anton Cordell manages to escape the penal colony he was jailed in after revealing to be in possession of Biometal Model G.
Twilight DiscoveriesAile aids in the recovery of Sage and Kile by giving them energy from her Sub-Tank. Price decides to return to his command post, aided by the soldiers who survived the raid. The captain takes Kile with him, leaving Aile and Sage to return to the camp.
Greeted by Prairie, Aile and Sage learn that both the local Transerver and the generator are damaged, leaving the camp without energy and preventing Prairie from returning to the base. When a desperate Reploid named Aaron appears in search for his missing child, Aile leaves again to search for the boy after receiving an E-Tank from the parent. Learning about the lost child from Kile, Price allows the soldier Leon to form a small contingent to search for the boy. It turns out that the boy had sought shelter in the facility that Kile had awakened in. When asked for assistance to repair the Transerver, Aaron calls his friends Jun and Bowen to bring spare parts.
Kile is the first to find the child, as well as a recording that began to play on the main screen by an unidentified figure. Despite his amnesia, Kile recognizes the person on the screen as a Cyber-elf, and learns from the message that he should find a detective to help in the search of secret disks containing information of his interest.
The facility is discovered by Karin, one of Price's soldiers, and she calls the others to her position. They receive orders from Price to secure the area and return the child to the camp, and the group of four splits in two, with Leon and Karin securing the facility. The child and Kile are safely brought to the camp, to Aaron's relief, and Sage is able to repair the Transerver. However, when contacted to return, Aile reveals to Prairie that she sensed the presence of a Biometal in the nearby ruins, and decides to investigate after being allowed by Aaron to use his E-Tank.
Black OutWith the Transerver repaired, Prairie returns to HQ and Sage is taken by Jun to repair the generator. The soldier Dan escorts the two, leaving his partner Cody and Bowen with Kile. The camp is in chaos due to the Maverick attack; in the wake of the night, the fires continue to burn as the wounded are taken for treatment, but the lack of power makes the endeavor even more difficult.
Upon her return to the Grand Nuage, Prairie receives a status report from the operators and calls Fleuve to the bridge. The vice-commander leaves the room with Vent, and Vince asks Carrelet and Chêne to talk to Zexen in private. Carrelet grudgingly leaves, but Chêne insists on staying due to her involvement in the earlier incident. Vince concedes and attempts to gain Zexen's trust by uttering a secret code given to him by Model ó. Zexen denies knowledge of it, but agrees to cooperate. Carrelet is informed of this development and moves to the bridge to inform his superiors.
The relation between Cordell and Model W causes Chêne to expresses disdain for the Biometals once again, starting an argument with Vince which escalates to the point the chosen one challenges the Guardian to destroy Model ó; the girl is only barely dissuaded when Vince convinces her to put more faith on the Chosen Ones themselves after explaining their reasons to one another. Chêne decides to at least give Vince the "benefit of doubt", although she is still not as warming to Zexen. Despite this, Chêne and Zexen both receive a business card from Vince.
Fleuve and Vent meet Prairie in the bridge and are soon joined by Kiriyama, who had just left the emergency room, meeting a less than warm reception from Model R. Upon learning that Aile went after a Biometal which is drawing Mavericks, Vent leaves to the Arcadian Ruins.
As the Grand Nuage finally lands in the Arcadian Ruins, Prairie contacts the Watchmen at Kiriyama's request while Carrelet enters the bridge and reports the situation to Fleuve. Although Kiriyama seems to agree with returning to the Watchmen for the night, he is persuaded by Model R to stay against Prairie's wishes. Prairie leaves the vice-commander in charge once more, and the elder Reploid asks Carrelet to return to his quarters. On the way to the boarding ramp, however, Prairie sights Kiriyama using the lift and tells Carrelet to follow the Watchman instead. The two are seen by Chêne, who is suspicious of the "Watchbrat" and follows Carrelet.
In the ruins, Aile discovers that the Biometal is indeed a Model W, but destroying it proves much more difficult than she had anticipated. As the Biometal begins to attract an increasing number of Mavericks, Aile is alerted by Model X to the presence of a second Mega Man in the room: Cordell.
Mega Man Model GAile is distracted by the Model W, giving Cordell an opportunity to escape the tower. However, Cordell is confronted almost immediately by Vent, who had just arrived, and Kile, who had followed the Model ZX Mega Man. Recognized by Vent when Model G mentions Cordell's name, Vent attacks in an effort to recapture the criminal.
Aile succeeds in destroying the Model W, but the explosion launches the girl into a free fall. Kile is crushed by the debris and Singular strikes Vent with enough force to stun the Chosen One; however, Vent manages to wound Singular before falling, prompting Singular to retreat. In a desperate effort to save Aile, Kile manages to activate the Dragon Crest on his armor, leading to the unexpected transformation into a draconic Mechaniloid which flies to rescue Aile. Realizing that Aile is safe, Vent chases Singular, but Vent's efforts are in vain as he sees the Mega Man Model G being taken away by none other than Pandora.
Ominous WindVent is contacted by Fleuve and the vice-commander is informed of the recent events. Shocked by the news, Fleuve makes his way back to Carrelet's quarters, while Carrelet himself and Chêne follow Kiriyama to the ship's deck. Pressed by Model R, the Watchman makes an escape towards the ruins. The two Guardians quickly report the incident to Fleuve, who tells Carrelet to inform Vent while Chêne informed Prairie.
Outside the Grand Nuage, Prairie meets Price again and divides her soldiers for three tasks: to secure the perimeter, extinguish any remaining fires and provide medical assistance. After an exaspherated Chêne tells her about Kiriyama, she sends another smaller group to investigate the ruins. Although Chêne also wants to go, she is told by the commander to stand guard instead.
In Chêne's absence, Zexen questions Vince about the code he mentioned earlier and is surprised that the detective's Biometal once met "Price Armani the First". However, Zexen refuses to discuss the matter out of suspicion about the room being "bugged", which is when Fleuve returns. Zexen mentions Price in passing and Fleuve quickly realizes that Zexen is referring to the Legion captain. The vice-commander then takes both Zexen and Vince to the presence of Prairie and Price.
Cordell himself is taken by Pandora to a facility in an undisclosed location, where he meets Prometheus and receives support from an unidentified benefactor, who offers shelter and the opportunity to change the world with his skills. Cordell agrees with the proposition, and immediately receives the task of using his skills of DNA ressurrection with a sample identified only as: "Mega Man Z".
Mega Man vs. Copyroid - Part IAs Vent returns from the encounter with Cordell, Aile and Kile are suddenly approached by Chiba, who taunts the two. The exchange triggers an influx of memories on Kile, causing him to revert to his human form and faint. The group is soon joined by Sage, who had been drawn to the location after repairing the generator and restoring power to the camp. It is revealed that Chiba and Model J once had a relationship, but the encounter is interrupted by Vent's arrival. Unable to fight, Aile gives Vent the Model X and Model Z halves in her possession, allowing Vent to merge them with his own fragments. Faced with the complete Mega Man ZX, Chiba retreats into the tower, but Vent intercepts him and another fight begins.
Kiriyama arrives to the tower, but ignores the presence of the other Chosen Ones in a failed attempt to enter the tower unnoticed. As the Watchman is followed by Sage to the lower levels, Aile is found by the Guardians who provide immediate assistance.
Vent and Chiba briefly exchange blows before the old Reploid makes an escape to the top of the tower. In his attempt to follow him, Vent falls through the unstable floor, encountering Sage and Kiriyama after a rough landing. In the meantime, Chiba activates his Copy Chip technology and transforms into the form of a winged green Reploid. In this form, he proceeds to tear a hole across the center of all the tower, but he also takes damage in the process as he falls to the bottom floor. The collapse draws Vent's attention, who tells Kiriyama to stand back. He meets Chiba in the floor below, and Model X recognizes the figure as "Model H's original form".
Mega Man vs. Copyroid - Part IIAs Vent fights Chiba, the Guardians split up; Thon and Cédre remain in the tower, while the others use their portable Transervers to return with Aile and Kile. Thon and Cédre enter the tower and encounter Kiriyama and Sage. Hearing the sounds of fighting, Thon borrows Cédre's launcher and convinces her to teleport back to the camp with the two Mega Men, while the big Guardian moves on to help Vent himself.
Copying Model H's former Reploid form, Chiba unleashes strong air currents against Vent. However, Vent uses his knowledge and experience from his use of Model HX to evade the winds and gain the upper hand, injuring Chiba. The old Reploid then copies the form of another person: Kazuo, a cyborg from centuries ago with powerful gravitational abilities. In this form, Chiba makes a last ditch effort to escape by collapsing the entire structure; After causing a brief distraction, Thon manages to teleport out with Vent while Chiba survives by escaping through an unseen opening.
Untold SecretsSurprised to see Zexen, Price begins to scold him privately for interacting with the Guardians while Fleuve updates Commander Prairie about the stranger. Learning about the actions of Cordell and Zexen's involvement, Prairie attempts to obtain information from Price, but he either denies knowledge or refuses to cooperate, an unexpected behavior that aggravates Prairie.
Vince steps into the conversation by announcing his disposition to work for Price, keeping any information between them without telling the Guardians anything. Unable to rely on Price or Vince anymore, Prairie decides to begin an investigation of her own after the current situation is dealt with. She is then surprised by the arrival of the Watchmen, who had just survived an attack by a Preon army in the Long Death Road.
Prairie and Fleuve approach the Watchmen to assess their situation, leaving Vince alone with Price and Zexen. Price then requests Vince to help him and Zexen escape the camp, claiming to be "above the law". Vince is indignated by the request and denies his services, believing that he made a mistake, and leaves to apologize to Prairie.
Vince comes across Chêne in the boarding ramp, and explains himself to the girl when the Guardians who rescued Aile, Kile, Kiriyama and Sage arrive. As Vince and Chêne help them carry the wounded to the medics, Price and Zexen prepare to escape by retrieving an ancient Ride Chaser, which Price had set aside for such an occasion.
When inside, however, the two are caught by surprise when the tent is set ablaze!
Smoke and FlamesPrice and Zexen escape the tent, which is detonated by a bomb planted by Price himself, only to be immediately surrounded by the flames of Prometheus. With the two at his mercy, Prometheus warns the two that they "can't escape from he who knows everything about the world", leaving before he is sighted by a crowd of Guardians, Hunters and Legion soldiers drawn by the explosion.
Vince arrives in the aftermath, questioning Price about what had happened. The detective seems to believe Price's explanation about Prometheus, but the Hunters are more skeptical, as there were no traces left of the one known as the "Grim Reaper".
Informed via radio about the incident, Prairie soon arrives to the scene, this time determined to get the truth from Price no matter what. Still unwilling to cooperate for unknown reasons, Price responds by using smoke bombs to cover his escape.
