Okay, so Weil found Iris. This should get interesting, eh?

The desert.

Specifically, a cave.

Croire: I'm hungry! * fluttering in circles *

Zero: So am I but I'm not complaining. * removing some shrapnel from his leg *

Croire: Hmph!

Zero: Aren't you a nurse elf?

Croire: Dee- yuu- aech.

Zero:* tapping his knee impatiently * Well, what's the problem?

Croire: I can't do you any good unless I've had an E-crystal meal.

Zero: * face-palm * Not even just a little energy boost?

Croire: Fine... * energizes him *

Zero: Thanks.

Croire:* passes out *

Zero: Shoot! Croire! Croire?

And so, the poor and partly appendage-less reploid sat there in silence, thinking about how he was going to repair himself..

Zero: Oy vey... X.. I'm hanging in there... I'm doing my best, old friend...

And then an orb of blue light appeared next to him and formed an image of a blue armored reploid.

Zero: X?

X:* sits next to him * Heh, just like old times, huh Zero?

Zero: Uh, I guess. I don't remember much from then, X.

X: You were just a torso with a head and one arm when we had defeated Sigma. Or one of the many times we defeated him. Do you remember? You rebuilt yourself then.

Zero:... Sorry, I don't remember.

X: Hmph. That stinks. Anyway, you're planning on rebuilding yourself again, yes?

Zero: I reckon so. I just don't have anything to work with.

X: Your Z-knuckle might work?

Zero: Nah.

X: Z-saber?

Zero:... It's busted up.

X:* face-palm * Zero, you're lucky I saved your other saber.

Zero: I had another one?

X: * nods * Please, please, please don't break this one

Zero: Hmm... I can use the beam saber as a welding tool...

X: Doctor Wily didn't construct an idiot.

Zero: Huh?

X: Nothing. * chuckles nervously * I'm losing energy to keep my holo-form..

Zero: Rest up then * welding his leg to his pelvis *

X: Okay, Zero.. * looks at Zero's back * Hey, did you know that you have a huge piece of shrap-

Zero:-nel in my spine. Yes.

X: Okay. Will talk to you another time. Stay strong. * disappears *

Zero: Stay strong. * smiles *

That's it for this part. I have absolutely no clue what happened to Cyber Elf X in the MMZ series. He better not have died. Oh well. And yeah, Zero's repairing himself. Again. LOL. And Croire just passed out from hunger and fatigue. She'll be fine.
