Dr. Wily was not happy…. Not happy at all… and he really showed it…
"How could you lose? How could you possibly lose to that….loser and that blue armored weakling?" Dr. Wily screamed at the top of his lungs, which turned into a fit of coughing.
Zero simply rolled his eyes.
"… I got off a couple of good shots. But you never told me that human had that kind of power."
"You should have been ready for anything…. That's what I built you for. Total destruction… and to not come back like… that…" Wily replied as he pointed at the damage on Zero's body. Melted armor and severe damage to various body parts. "It's going to take me some time to repair you… and in case you haven't noticed, I'm no spring chicken"
Zero rolled his eyes again.
"Just get it done… and make sure you fix it, so that next time I run into those two… and I know I'll be running into them, that I can blast them into nothingness…."
Wily growled.
"Don't you tell me what to do… in case you forgot, I built you… I'm the master…. Not you…"
Zero let out a deep sigh.
"Whatever…"
"SHONEN!!!…." Dr. Light tried to yell out at the top of his lungs, as he walked down the halls of the lab, looking for Shonen… and the source of…. That ear piercing noise.
"SHONEN!" he called out again.
Inside her room… Shonen looked towards the door, and then glanced at X.
"Do you hear someone calling for me?"
X nodded.
"Yea… it sounds like dad… and he sounds mad…. I told you your music was too loud. It's even making my ears hurt… and mine are artificial…. I can't imagine what the loud music is doing to yours."
Shonen shrugged her shoulders.
"Eh… I'm used to it." she replied as she got up off the couch and turned the music down. Then went to the door and opened it.
"I'm here dad… you can stop yelling now"
Dr. Light walked up to Shonen.
"I've asked you not to play that music that loud… you're interrupting the other workers… I'm not opposed to it… and I know it helps you work… but a little common sense would say to not play it at earsplitting levels…"
Shonen rolled her eyes.
"Sorry dad…" she replied then made a face as she heard X chuckling behind her.
"Ha ha… You got yelled at…"
Shonen looked over her shoulder.
"Quiet you… unless you want me to program you into a toaster…"
X stood up quickly.
"Hey now… that's not nice…"
Dr. Light deeply sighed as he rubbed the space between his eyes.
"Alright you two… That's enough… X, I need you to come with me…"
X instantly looked nervous.
"W…what did I do? If it's about the music… It was all Shonen's idea… I tried to stop her… but she threatened to reprogram me."
Dr. Light shook his head.
"Don't worry X, you're not in trouble… it's just time for your daily recharge session. I don't want your fuel tanks to be depleted again, like two weeks ago."
"I doubt that's ever going to happen again dad…." Shonen interjected.
Dr. Light turned to Shonen.
"What exact ally are you talking about? Why would his fuel cells not need to be recharged?"
Shonen lowered her head as she tapped her fingers together.
"Well… I kind of…"
Dr. Light released a deep breath as he shook his head in disgust.
"Oh, Shonen…. How could you? I asked you not to do that…" Dr. Light began, as he walked up to X and placed his hand on X's shoulder. "… There's no telling what possible damage you've caused."
"I didn't cause any damage… I knew what I was doing… if anything… I made him stronger."
Dr. Light turned to Shonen.
"Stronger?"
Shonen nodded quickly as she smiled.
"Wanna see?"
Dr. Light turned to X, who in turn looked back at him.
"It's really cool…" X replied. "Come dad… you'll like it… even I was impressed…" X continued as he helped Dr. Light sit on a nearby chair. Then he turned to Shonen…
"You ready?"
Shonen nodded…
"Whenever you are little brother…" Shonen replied as she took a step forward then crossed her arms against her chest, and lowered her head.
X then stepped up close to Shonen, and stood behind her; X then wrapped his arms around her waist and dropped his head into her shoulder.
Both took a deep breath….and whispered each other's names.
"Shonen…"
"X…."
Instantly… their bodies began to glow an intense white light, causing Dr. Light to shade his eyes.
As the glow intensified, both Shonen and X's bodies began to merge.
Dr. Light managed to get a small glance, just as both bodies completed the merge.
… The glow faded
Dr. Light gasped, as the new life form turned and looked at him.
"W… who… Are you?" Dr. Light questioned in a half whisper.
The life form smiled, then spoke with both X's and Shonen's voices combined.
"I am both Shonen and X…. but… if you insist of giving me a name in order for you to converse with me…then you may call me… Blade X…."
