Creepypasta- Mega Man X - The Red Cartridge (Versão Animada)
Hello, I'm one of those people that does more than play Video Games. I also make animations. I've gotten good at Mega Man games. Though I'll admit they are pretty hard, I found a copy of Mega Man X for the SNES on Amazon and not eBay. It was only 1$ for some reason I mean not everything can be free right? But I was pumped.
"Finally I can play one of the best Mega Man games of all time!" But then I realized I didn't have a working SNES. So I had to hunt one down and I found one for 30$ on Amazon again. They both arrived on the same day.
I plugged the SNES into the wall, turned on the TV and started playing. Something was off though, there was no copyright date it just went to the Capcom logo and it looked blood red. It didn't shock me because hacks can change spirits. But this wasn't a ROM hack. How could a ROM hack be sold? It went to the title screen, with no intro or music just silence. There was no menu either it just went to the opening stage as normal.
But the music was slowed down but not to a demonic tone & X was already in his full armour but I didn't care. I went through the stage like normal but then the screen went to static. I thought it was my tv. Then the screen turned black and I thought I saw some text saying "I will rule the world". then the Stage Select came up. I chose Chill Penguin because it was one of the easiest bosses in the game.
There was no boss intro when I selected him. I was in Chill Penguin's stage like normal. It even played like the actual game of course nothing different until. I saw Zero's helmet and the music for Chill Penguin's stage was slowed down. X was on his knees and he closed his eyes. Then the background and stage went black then the screen turned black and back to the stage select screen.
This time all of the mavericks were looking at a black spot but it was in Storm Eagle spot. I selected it. And I was at a creepy-looking place that looked like Sting Chameleon's stage. Before I went into the boss door, Vile showed up and went right into me and the background was now inverted. The boss door opened and X went into the boss door. The screen went black and then I heard X scream but it sounded like the scream when X dies in the PS1 games. And red text saying "You failed your mission" for a split second and went back to Stage Select for the Third time.
All the mavericks were gone and only a full armoured X with no face could be selected. I selected it, X with no face was walking on his own. I thought it was a cutscene and I was right. The faceless X walked up to a capsule, you know the one where Dr Light gives you the armour parts. But X already had them so why was it there? But it turns out it was no Dr Light giving you armour parts but It was a non-full armoured X.
Then a text box from the non-full armoured X said "You are not welcome in this world!" The screen went static and then the screen went black and I saw a close-up of the faceless X. Then the faceless X was on the screen with the text reading "End of the game" and "No more hope" and then he beamed up. I saw that the copy of Mega Man X I had bought was now in red. And after that. I always called it "Mega Man X The Red Cartridge" but I never played it again.
