X's p.o.v.
An excited smile worked its way onto my face as my heart began to dance. I was staring at the nostalgic sight of Maverick Hunter Academy, the training place for Maverick Hunters like myself.
"It's great to be back here," I said to my red clad friend next to me. "I hope you remember this place, Zero."
"Why wouldn't I?" he asked as he walked towards the door. "This is where I became a Hunter."
"That's not what I meant, stupid, this is where we met."
"Oh, yes," Zero said, still moving. "Those were some pretty fun days."
"Yes, the fun days when you forced me to become a Hunter and then raped me."
"I was a stupid teenager, all right?" I couldn't help but let out a chuckle at his anger. "Why're you laughing? You were the one who had to go through all of that."
"What do you expect me to do when remembering all of that craziness?" I asked, still mildly chuckling. "I was so pathetic!"
Zero looked away from me at the walls.
"Yeah, sorry I put you through all of that bullshit."
I lightly shoved him.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I said I forgave you years ago, didn't I?" He looked at me with a small smile right as we reached the main office. "Well, here we are. You ready, buddy?"
"That's why I'm here."
We opened the door to see a light orange female Reploid with her long yellow hair in a braid. We saluted her.
"We're Mega Man X and Zero from Maverick Hunter HQ," I said sternly. "We're here for our first day as teachers. You're Miss Kamuzo, right?"
"Yes, welcome to the Academy, boys," she said as she handed us some papers. "Here are the classes you'll be teaching, starting later today."
"Thank you, Miss," we said in unison.
Alia's p.o.v.
I sat at my usual desk where I normally scan several areas, but I couldn't focus on the screen. I was doing something I usually don't do, I was counting down until my hours were over.
"Miss Alia?" a deep voice said, snapping me out of my daze. "Are you all right?"
"Oh, yes, Layer, I'm fine," I responded. "I'm just worried that HQ might be losing some of its touch with X and Zero gone."
"Well, I wouldn't worry too much about that. We still have Axl and our most experienced Navigator still still on duty. We'll be fine."
Pallette walked up to us, pretending to cry.
"Oh, Layer," she said with a sniffle. "You're being so strong, pretending to be a-okay with your boyfriend being gone."
"Would you stop that, Pallette!?" Layer cried, her worried yellow eye appearing through her purple bangs. "Zero is not my boyfriend!"
"No..." The blonde gave her a sly smirk. "He's just..." She whispered in her ear, "Your own personal Hun-ter~"
Layer's face turned completely red as she punched Pallette into the floor.
"Leave me alone, Pallette!"
Even though I saw this same scenario everyday, I couldn't help but chuckle. I turned back to the clock, seeing I had only two minutes until I was let out for the day. As I gripped my arm trying to sustain myself, I remembered something.
"Wait a second, Pallette, aren't you supposed to be guiding Axl on his mission?"
"He just got done," the younger girl said as she stood up, rubbing the bump on her head. "And he wouldn't stop spouting flirty bullshit through my mic, so I disconnected him."
A black beam flashed into the room, revealing a red haired 6'5 child-designed Reploid.
"Well, hello, ladies," he said cockily. "I am back from my quite easy mission, and I thank all three of you beautiful ladies for supporting me."
"Welcome back, Axl," Pallette said, rolling her eyes.
"Hello, Pallette," Axl responded with a cheerful smile as he put his gun away to put his arm around her. "You know, we should probably get some time alo-" She put her gun to his chin. "-Or not." He backed away.
The timer went off.
"All right!" I cheered as I stood up. "I'm off for the day, I'll see you guys later."
"Uh, bye, Alia-" Axl's farewell was cut off by the slamming of a door.
I rushed down the road with an excited smile on my face. It was the day. It was the day I had been waiting for for ten long years. Finally, all of my efforts would soon be rewarded.
In about half an hour, I reached Maverick Hunter Academy.
"Miss Kamuzo," I said to the woman at the desk. "Are the new teachers Mega Man X and Zero still here?"
"Oh, no, you just missed them. Sorry."
"That's okay," I said with a sigh.
As I walked outside, I stared at the sky and held my fist to my chest. I would definitely see him the next day.
Axl's p.o.v.
"Hey there, Pallette!" I called out to my Navigator the next afternoon. "Since you're my official Navigator now, how about we have a drink together?"
She sighed and frowned at me.
"For the final time, I'm just your Navigator. I'm not going out with you."
I grunted and wrapped my arms around her waist from behind.
"Come on!" I whined. "Without X and Zero around this place is so boring!"
A swift kick sent me flying into the wall.
"If you're bored, go see your superiors and leave me in peace!"
I sat up as a light bulb went off.
"Thanks a lot, Pallette! You just gave me an idea!"
In half an hour, two bright green angry eyes were glaring at me.
"What're you doing here?" X growled.
"Base is so boring without you two," I said. "So I decided to take teaching at the Maverick Hunter Academy as a side job."
"Are you fucking serious, Axl!?" my superior snapped. "You're telling me you left your post as a Hunter without permission just because you were lonely!?"
"It was my Navigator, Pallette's, idea."
X held his mouth open, trying to find the right words to say. He put his fingers to his forehead and grunted.
"I just can't catch a break with you, can I?" he asked with a sigh. "There's nothing I can do about it now. Have you talked to Miss Kamuzo? She should be telling you which classes you're teaching."
"X," Zero said as he walked into the room. "Alia is-"
A pink Reploid burst past him.
"He's in here, right?" She started running towards us with a large smile. "X!"
"Alia? What is i-"
She tossed herself at him, tightly wrapping her arms around him, making him take a step back.
"Mm! It's a glorious day, isn't it!?" the blonde asked merrily.
"Um, I guess so."
Alia giggled lightly as she moved her head back to look at him, still holding him tightly.
"It's a day you and I have been waiting for for years," she said. "It's a day of peace! Sigma is finally defeated, the war is finally over!"
"Yes, I know," X responded with a relieved smile. "I've been fighting for this peace for what feels like an eternity. I'm glad this pain has finally come to pass."
"That's not all," the pink Reploid said as she brought her hands to her side. "You remember what else comes with this day, don't you?"
"Um, my dream to teach at the Academy?" he said. "I have several fond memories here, so I've always wanted to be a teacher after the war."
"Is this some kind of joke?" Alia asked with her blonde hair covering her eyes. "Well, it's not funny. Don't push my patience, X. You know what I'm talking about."
"I'm afraid to say I don't."
"Don't you dare fuck with me..." She slapped him across the face. "You said that after the war I would be your bride! You promised to marry me!"
My mouth hung open. I looked up to see Zero staring dumbfounded at X, with large and narrow eyes.
"... Oh, right," X said nervously, sweat dripping down his face. "I did say that..."
In a state of shock, Zero only manage to cry out an angry, "What!?"
"What do you think you're doing dodging my words, X!?" Alia snapped. "Did you think I would just forget!?"
"I did!"
"Excuse me, X," I said with a pen and notebook handy. "How exactly did you get our hottest Navigator to marry you?"
"You'd better not even think about breaking our promise," Alia growled, oblivious to me. "I worked my ass off being the best Navigator I could be for the past ten years, and I'm not letting that go wi-"
X blocked her bickering with a soft kiss that sent her eye brows to the ceiling.
Well, that's one way to shut a bitch up, I thought. I'm so glad I didn't say that out loud.
He ended the kiss and looked her in the eye with a smile.
"I'm a bit busy right now," he said, "but I promise I'll arrange the marriage soon."
"... Okay," Alia said weakly with a flustered face and a tired smile. "Don't keep me waiting too long, all right?"
"I'll see."
X's p.o.v.
I sat against the wall with my head in my hands.
"I'm such an idiot..."
"Would you mind telling me how you two got engaged?" Zero said angrily. "When we first met her, you were downright terrified of her!"
"Yes, please tell me how you got such a woman," Axl said, holding a pen to a notebook.
I slightly looked up, keeping my hand on my face.
"I was annoyed with how unfocused and boy crazy she always was, so I made a deal that if she could be a serious Navigator, I would be her husband by the end of the war. But after everything that I've gone through, I just forgot."
"Well, that explains why her personality seemed to take a one eighty when she became our Navigator," Zero said. "You can't just reject her, or else she'll turn back into that psycho she was at the Academy."
I sighed.
"I bought myself some time, but you're right. Axl, go get my funeral ready."
"Yes, sir!" the redhead said with a salute as he headed for the door.
He stopped half way through the door, holding his head with a moan.
"You all right?"
"Y-yeah, I just feel a bit nauseous..."
A/N: Hey, everyone! Know what today is? It's my one-year anniversary! I've been on Fanfiction for an entire year now! So to celebrate, I decided to make a sequel to one of my favorite stories Maverick Hunter Academy. I'll try to make this story one of my best ones yet to thank all of you. It was this day a year ago that I posted my Mega Man X9 story. Read it if you want, but it was the first story written by a 13-year-old, so don't expect to enjoy it that much. So with my improved writing skills, I'll do my best to thank you for all of the support you've given me with hopefully a great sequel! Until we meet again...
