    What do you think would have happened if Zero and Sigma worked together at the start of the Maverick Rebellion?

    Mega Man Zero!
    that whole gosh-darn'ed series!
    It's très difficile!

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    (just this once (maybe) I'm using bold to help show the syllables that have stresses in my metered answers)

    (X series in Dactylic Hexameter)
    Teaming together they'd overcome X one game.
    Maverick virus spreads, failing Doctor Cain.

    (Zero series in Iambic Pentameter)
    Eurasia stays in safe orbit in space.
    The Earth won't be apocalyptic place.

    (ZX series in Trochaic Tertameter)
    X abandoned evolution,
    Never has the model fusion.

    (Classic in Anapestic Triameter)
    By then Wily succeeds in his plot.
    He enjoys all the pain he hath wrought!

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

    What's this all about? I've updated my style for this thread (and my first post, accordingly) to no longer answer solely in haiku! I'm also doing several forms of metered verse (as displayed above) and flowery purple prose. Make a request today!

    Do you know how to sew, knit, or anything of the like?
    What type of learner are you? Tactile? Auditory? Visual?
    Are you good at memorizing things, or do you have to look over something several times to fully understand it?

    I have not yet studied the ancient and storied art of textiles, neither their creation nor repair, not merely for the want of materials but also for the want of creativity. Nay, I am a man gentle with my threads and simple with my fashion, and this leaves me devoid entirely of a need to study threadwork. Contrariwise, I do assert that I may have rudimentary enough an understanding of the skill that, were I forced into a situation that I needed to hastily mend clothes (or worse yet, flesh broken by blade), I would be able to satisfactorily repair that what was hurt.

    The method of learning which was thenceforth labeled as "tactile" is the one which I find most functional for my purposes, for I believe firmly - nay, solidly - that learning is best aided by doing. Yes, it is true that to hear or to see may add knowledge into one's brain, paving the way for entry and acquisition, but only the tactile method also sets the road out from the brain and into the world where the knowledge is not only held, but measurably utilized.

    My memory is subject to a great deal of randomization in its reliability, randomization that is absolutely inquantifiable, brownian, and otherwise stupid in its ways. I may recite well for you the entirety of the episode from the days of my youth which rendered me incapable of performing long division, down to my (and several classmates') placement in the classroom, the color and phrasing of the chalk upon the board, and every myriad and then-inarticulable emotion experienced by my brain; but I can not likely tell you which Kraekan Monster I last felled in Salt and Sanctuary, an obstacle only days passed which surely monopolized my entire attention and focus at the time of its happening.

    (Yes, Purple Prose is a wall of text. Dost thou want something more concise? Ask me to answer in meter!)

    Alright, a couple of weeks ago, I dreamed that there was a rocket that was getting shot into space, but something went wrong and it didn't launch. they sent a couple of reploids and they found out that some of the engines were damaged before their attempt at launching. The mission control checked the cameras and found that Zero was the only reploid that was anywhere near the rocket between the final check and the launch. Zero was quickly identified as a Maverick, Maverick Hunters started shooting at him, and Zero fled.
    What would you do if you were Zero and X?

    (I'm sorry that I couldn't help your work, but glad it turned out as good as it did!)

    Mistrust his friend, Zero would go alone.
    His burden, guilt, and conscience heavy now.
    His navigator, Layer, won't condone.
    Endanger them? Something he can't allow.

    But X would try to stop and help his friend.
    He wants to stop his brother just because:
    if he meets Sigma he could meet his end,
    when he just wanted to learn what he was.

    (Anapestic Triameter)

    Maybe Z on my shoulder, I think.
    (Being careful with permanent ink)

    Of the reasons I'm working out now,
    here is one: I am worried of stretch.

    Being marked with the brand of the Z,
    I won't lie, I've already done sketch!

    (Dactylic hexameter)

    Any bug, none of them ever should be that size.
    Other ones I'll allow; these I won't compromise.

    If you could improve one thing about yourself at the cost of a sense (sight, taste, hearing, ect) , would you?

    I played one day when server space improved,
    but never picked it up again past that.

    I only caught Eevee and Charmander
    Not Pikachu, for I don't like the rat!

    (Anapestic Triameter)

    I don't play online all that much now,
    so I'm not truly not all that informed.

    But the Battle Tree's fun and it's hard,
    I'll be ready for Showdown in time!

    (Haiku)

    That would all depend:
    by how much will I improve?
    Get superpowers?

    With human limits,
    I would not give up a sense.
    I enjoy them all!​

    (in Trochaic Tetrameter)

    Hearthome Sinnoh is my city!
    Crowded, cozy, oh so pretty!
    Walking park and contest venue,
    Ghost-Type Gym, there's so much to do!

    So you're asking me if I had to pick another country... as if I have to flee this jurisdiction and get to a far away land where the strong arm of the American law can no longer reach me?

    (Dactylic Hexameter)

    Pack your bags, time to go! Leaving now, can't say no!
    Leaving my country I'll change my name, where to go?

    Clear my head, two deep breaths, gathering stamina.
    Flee my crimes, going north, welcome to Canada!

    Donuts and coffee and poutine and maple sauce,
    wintery wonderland, forests, lakes, wanderlust!

    (I realize "Canada" insn't dactylic but is like anti-anapestic or something, but I'm doing my best here!)

    (in Haiku)

    How to write in prose,
    to answer a short question?
    My black Rayquaza!​

    How do you think that story of Megaman X would change if Zero had a sister? X?
    What do you think would have happened if Iris somehow won the battle against Zero?
    How do you think Megaman died?

    (Quick note on some maybe clever names. X is a variable, so what's the counterpart to a variable? A constant. Maybe a variant of the human name Constance, or maybe shortened to k as represented constant in an equation. Zero's counterpart could be infinity, and infinity in Japanese is Mugen)
    (All of these are in Dactylic Hexameter)

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    Constant and Mugen are sisters of heroes they
    live different cause their two brothers are top hunters.

    X will train Constant for Hunters in waging war,
    Better than Roll for Rock, that's what he's fighting for!

    Zero hides Mugen away from the family curse,
    carry the secret, he'll lie, try to not coerce.

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    "Who was I fighting now?" Iris says, looking down.
    Headache confusion pain. Taking note, scrap abound.

    Husband is on the floor, Zero's cut to the core.
    "What did this happen for?" Worry sets, seeing more.

    Panic first. Fear comes next. Then it clicks, conscience vexed.
    "This can't be, this won't fade." She looks now, sees his blade.

    "What I've done, this can't be. Broke it all, can't repair.
    Now his sword will cut me. I give in to despair."

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~​

    Wily has died by now, reached the end of his life.
    Humans age, carbon curse. Robots will pass us all.

    Still no peace, war goes on. This is eternal fight.
    Bass is there, mourning loss. "Time is now. Vengance calls."

    Terror cell forces grown. Building strength for attack.
    "Draw him out: no quarter! Give no choice, he'll fight back!"

    Rock will fight for us all. But for us, he'll give all.
    This is his final fight. He's good by Dr. Light.

    Have you enjoyed any mega man stages where you fight two bosses in the same stage? Have you ever played one where you fought two bosses at once?

    Have you ever played a video game where your mind got blown by the ending?

    What is the name and summary of the last book you read?
