~Neo Arcana Volume: Your Training Begins~

Enix returned in the early morning still wearing his uniforms. He noticed some packages were already sorted out for him. He paid little attention to until it hit him. He rapidly spun towards the staircase, where, as he expected Kai stood in his uniform waiting for him. "Out late last night, now, weren't you?" he asked. Enix nodded then turned to the pitcher of coffee that was just made and poured him a mug. "Thats what I get for sleeping in I guess." Enix said solemnly. "Not enough time to visit my mother or return home for sleep."

Kai looked confused. "You slept at your mom's grave?"


"Yeah, what of it?"

"Um...nothing." Kai tried to imagine himself sleeping by a grave in a cemetery He shook away from the thought. "You know Levi was up for most of the night waiting for you."

Enix's ears perked up, but he resumed a more gloomy expression. "She shouldn't have." he replied. He gulped down his coffee then picked up the morning's packages and left for his motorbike that was parked outside and left. As the door closed, Levi came down in her uniform and saw Enix leaving. "Where's Enix going?" she asked.

"Off to finish his deliveries." responded Kai. "Your batch is over by your jet-ski."

"Thanks, Kai."

"No problem."

Enix drove over to the houses on his routes on his motorbike, delivering packages to private citizens and organizations. It was until later that his inhabitant communicated with him.

"Hello? Enix?" said a voice. Enix looked around but saw no one. It was early morning so not a lot of people were out, or even looking at him.

"I'm not out there, unfortunately. If I was I wouldn't be contacting you right now." said the voice. "keep calm, I am not an enemy."

For some reason, Enix trusted the little voice in his head. He kept calm and kept driving. "Who are you?" asked Enix using his thoughts to converse with it.

"I am Megaman X." it replied.

"X? THE Master X?!"

"Yes...and no. I am the original X who fought alongside Zero during the maverick wars. I have inhabited your body to do so again.

"What?!" Enix nearly swerved into a car by the very mention of the idea of a second Maverick war.

"Careful now, you don't want anyone getting hurt."

"May I ask why you've chosen me as your host?"

"When you and your friends were in operation, my comrades and I fused with you each, to help support your life. But now theres problems."

"What kind of problems?"

"Harpuia reported back with bad tidings. An unknown figure plans to attack Neo Arcana in a week. In our true forms, we can't do anything. So our only choice is to give you our strength and combat this Evil."

Enix rode off into a dirt path, his personal shortcut to the next house he frequently delivered to.

"I don't think you understand MY situation, Master X, I abhor it. My mother was killed by Mavericks! I don't think I could face an entire army if I freeze up in mid-battle."

"I know. I didn't like to fight either, but I did to protect the lives of all humans and reploids. I'll train you myself, just as each of my comrades will train your friends."

"How will you do that?"

"First Finish up your routes. After that return to the express building."

Enix nodded. "Understood."

It was as X said. Every one of his friends at Arcana Express, were told the same thing and were headed back to HQ, as they liked to call it
