Taking a different approach to Model O/Omega's presence within ZX. More specifically within Area N, with the Vortex in the background and Omega seemingly being a replaying memory during his Finest Battle... I (as well as another by the name of Telos) have come to a theory of what Model O could, or rather would consist of within the ZX universe.

So remember, speculation, always keep that in mind.

______

During the play through of ZX, you come to a point to where you are following a Dig site. And then you face a Pseudoroid, where he refers to there being a strong BioMetal sense within the area. And since this doesn't apply to the Model W Core, at least directly, the only alternative would be the Natural occurred BioStone of Omega's essence. Within the long since compressed and forgotten Area Zero.

And following that (including unused sprites), Omega's reincarnation would have played a seemingly larger role, than some 'fanservice' boss/unlockable. However that is not the case within the final product, as that is exactly what we got. And including the ZX:Advent unused sprites as well, it further suggests that Model O would have returned to become a boss. Optional most likely.

Now I will roughly draft our idea (as to not loose 'First Rights' to the internet).

We conceived that CyberSpace would become yet another optional place to explore and would be further drawn for story purpose. Since this concept in a sense revolves around CyberSpace. Someone on mandatory study within CyberSpace would end up locating a Data pool for severely outdated data, and would led to the instigation of further BioMetal.

To be blunt, within that Data Pool contains the data essence for every Reploid and Cyber-Elf to have lost it's manifestation and decomposed to a raw data format. It could be referred to as the 'Trash" section within online networks.

They would consider it as a mainstream project, (Thanks mainly to utilizing Model O for the dimensional rifts as being the prime source), and would delve within it in a 'study'. Which would led them to the Sigma code. Since there is more code revolving around Sigma, there would be more similar data to link. Mother Elf, Reploid Sigma, Virus Sigma, the Sigma Virus (yes, it is different), Colony Virus (leading back to Sigma Virus), Reploid Sigma DNA, Sigma Virus incarnations... Copy Chip Sigma (revised patch for the Reploid Sigma. Hence the design difference).
But continuing, this would become a subject of interest, and would eventually led to a realization for Sigma to be forged into BioMetal form. With Ourourborus having crashed into the Ocean, it's parts are still applicable to the same research that Ceil conducted to create the original 6 variants.

Sigma not becoming a BioMetal, (coming from the Sigma Virus incarnation point of view, hence Mother Elf reference), It would behave in a sinister method. Most likely it would locate his BioMatch, and would initiate his search for the most powerful being around (I.E. the Virus reference). And upon discovering an applicable portion of Model W Core that is still possessing it's 'Will', Model S would in turn forge itself with Model W Core. Resulting in a whole new being. Since the merge would accumulate with both portions (completing each other in a full sense), it would become more than just a core, it would become a being with the Will of 2 beings, the power of Sigma and the maliciousness of Model W Core. This would become more or less a catastrophe character for CyberSpace and the material world.

That takes care of the ultimate Villain for the concept. Now to cover the 'protagonist'.

With Model O playing the role of 'protagonist' it would obviously refer to the BioStone being able to choose itself a BioMatch. Well in a sense. With how Omega is presented within Zero 3 and within ZX, a safe speculation would be that Omega has more or less a type of direct connection to CyberSpace. His power emitting capable of causing dimensional rifts between the 2 plains of the world. That would also apply tho his behavior. Being a type of 'power consuming' entity. Hence Weil's capability for controlling him. Weil had something Omega could have benefited from. And with Omega, in a sense being Maverick Zero, would consist of a more instinct type consciousness. But fully capable of everything else conscious being is. Just revolves around instinct more.


This would play a role for the 'during' part of the concept.

Model O, being power hungry, would locate a BioMatch that has a lot of energy to sustain him/herself as well as Model O. Since Model O would need a host to act as transport, a more powerful being is necessary. Upon locating the BioMatch, it would synchronize up and would become more or less a 'parasitic union'. And when the Model O senses that the host is weakening, it can simply create a dimensional rift and absorb a Cyber-Elf or 2. It would act as an alternative source of energy.

But this is where a twist occurs. Model O would be the instinct type, meaning it would more or less eliminate anything to get in his way. And he would use the host to get the job done. This would in turn create an internal conflict between the host and the Model. Becoming a form of 'urgency' for the host, and furthering character development for both.

With the union, the host would be forced to either continuously fight Model O for the dominance of the body, or to submit. Both plays crucial to the ending climax.

As already stated, Model O would be a parasite to the Host. Meaning it is draining either the host, of feeding off of Cyber Elf's in order to maintain manifest. With that, their interactions would not be one sided. The host would either be fighting Model O internally, or would be submitting to his will. Both would play a role within the climax. Depending on how you behave during, would judge what happens at the end.

If the host was forced to do something ill-fated, the host would in tern either enjoy the action and result, or would despise it and further his disgust for the Model. Example: "Host walks through a city street. Get's insulted or whatever. The host can either ignor Model O's urges for destruction, or feed into it. Resulting in either walking away, getting weaker from the insubordination. Or would be driven to get rid of the fellow. And whatever is around as collateral damage.

That would play a constant 'struggle' within the concept. In that it will alter the end climax and the end result depending on interaction display.

Leading on, this would become a plot driver. Meaning this would be the reason that Model O unintentionally seeks the New Being. Model O is unaware of anything more powerful at the time, and at first would only be driving for itself. But, with him constantly battling with the host, or vice versa, it knows that it needs to keep treading on.

And that comes to Model O's realization. That there must be a stronger being out there. If he exists, others must as well. This in turn triggers a search for strong opponents. Which leads to the encounter of the New Being. With this encounter, Model O's lust is overwhelmed and is blindingly urging his Host to fight. So strong that the host is compelled to fallow through. Triggering the end of defeating the being. Model O Leaches off of it for a short time, only to discover that the Being is renewing itself. This leads to a direct follow up.

But as for alterations. If you choose to oppose the Model, the final battle is more difficult because you are slowly being drained, and at the end, the host ends up not destroying someone very close to him/her. In such a way that Model O absorbs the last bit of life, killing the host. Resulting in the 'good ending'. The hoist martyred him/herself to protect which led to their demise.

The other would be that the host ends up destroying the other, and becomes consumed with Model O. Reaching a similar line between the Model and Host, they continue on, on a path of destruction in search of the New being.

Thoughts of the concept?

With Model W's existence seemingly all due because of Albert, or so ZX: Advent states, I've speculated else where that Albert more or less is taking credit for minor alterations to what ultimately was coming into existence prior his involvement and without his assistance. Though since Albert got his hands on the 'remains', it is basically into his favor. But I'd like to offer an alternative theory.

Back in Zero 4, during the Ragnarok Incident... Weil, bound to a machine body within regenerative armor, fusing himself with the Core of Ragnarok, Laevatein... Was whole new type of entity. The entire station becoming his body, the Core remaining his place of Consciousness, was still bound to typical Being set-up... Only difference is, Weil was the Core, thus the Station itself was the Body.

When Conflicting with Zero forces his hand to the Fusion, it was within a situation that would have proven in Weil's favor, had Zero not attacked and destroyed the Core. The Core exploding with Weil as part of it, it basically destroyed the Humanoid body of Weil. What there was after Fusion anyway. Then the Atmospheric re-entry destroyed nearly every critical part of Ragnarok... Leaving Laevatein more vulnerable to impact. Not to say the atmosphere burning didn't have an effect on the Core, it just didn't take enough to have been reduced to nothing.

This event occurred during the Human portion of Alberts life, at least the early portion. With that speculation, Albert would have had some knowledge within Reploid basis and technology. Locating and obtaining the remains of Weil's Laevatein, Albert would have the medium that would ultimately come to shape the future that is ZX.

However, the Laevatein remains had Weil fused within them. Meaning, Weil's body is gone, however he continued to exist within the remains. If there is any extent for his body ability too fused is unknown. Though for the sake of this theory, it exists. To the point that Laevatein would eventually begin to reform. Forming a Composite body of Weil essentially. So even without Albert, the MegaMan Universe would have seen Weil again... In some form or another...

But because Albert got to the remains first, he was able to study the remains and reconfigure it into what he dubbed as Model W. Which would go on to be re-buried, re-uncovered, and led to the Ciel 6 and Model A... Thus setting the ZX events up.

The ZX series would have been very different had Albert not intervened with Laevatein remains. There may not have been the Ciel 6 (that we would have seen, or in the same fashion), no Grey nor Model A (that we would have known)... Instead, it would have set forth another future... Something similar to Ghost in the Shell. With such a threat as Weil continuing to exist, with no Hero's... Someone (Ciel, Allouette?) would have possibly uncovered the Hero Cyber Elf's again... But would most likely have implanted such into newly crafted bodies. It would have essentially been the Hero's Resurrection, not as a BioMetal...

Ciel did create Copy X, who was nearly identical to X. So the others wouldn't have been far fetched. And taking ZX's adaptation of Allouette, Prairie... She would have shown interest in the same, or would have opted to assist Ciel, her older sister. It would have been a team effort, more or less.
