Player's p.o.v.

They explained to me what had been happening.

"How the hell did they manage to conquer your Universe in the short time you've been gone!?"

"Because we haven't been there to protect it."

I knew just by looking at them that they felt guilty. ... But all along it was my fault. I should've told them how to go back! I shouldn't've let my fear of isolation get the better of me!

"I'm so sorry, boys...!" I said with a crack in my voice.

"... What's there to be sorry for?" Axl asked in a casual tone.

Shocked, I looked up at him. He knew perfectly well what there was to be sorry for! "I told you! I kn-"

"You couldn't help us get back to our Universe," he said. "I was the one that brought us here, you had nothing to do with it."

I couldn't believe my ears. He was protecting me!

"It doesn't matter whose fault it is, all that matters is that we defeat Sigma again and save our Universe!"

Screaming came from outside the house.

"SOMEBODY FRICKIN' HELP ME!"

"ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF ARF!"

X's p.o.v.

There was this weird guy (imagine Dr. Egadd from Mario but taller) running down the streets being chased by...

"Lumine!?"

"Y-YOU CAN'T HARM ME! I RESURRECTED YOU!" Gunshot. "AHH!"

"Shut up."

"Somebody should definitely do something about that," I said. "... Marianne, you're worthless." I jumped down and kicked Lumine in the head, and pushed him into the ground. "Are you alright, sir?"

"M-Maverick Hunter X!"

"Huh!? You know me!?"

"GET... OFF... OF... ME...!"

I smirked. "Sure thing!"

I ducked out of the way, allowing Zero to slash through Lumine's body.

Lumine grunted and dashed backward. "Don't think this is over, Doctor!"

I turned to face the human. "Who are you?" I asked. "How do you know me?"

The man's name was Dr. Finson. He was actually from our Universe, and he was the one who had rebuilt Sigma and the others. He had hidden himself away along with the broken parts of the Mavericks to rebuild them, and he had planned to make them his secret servants. He hadn't planned for these circumstances to be happening.

"Oh, ok then," Axl growled. "Then it's not my fault our Universe has been conquered, or Marianne's..." He shook Finson by the neck. "THIS IS YOUR FUCKIN' FAULT!"

"One thing I don't get," I said, "how did you manage to rebuild a Reploid as broken as Vance?"

"Oh ho, boy... I'm only a genius!"

"Hm..." I suddenly got an idea. "Hey! If you can fix someone as broken as Vance, then upgrade us to the level we can defeat them!"

"What?"

"Please! I beg of you! Give us the power to defeat them!"

"I came here to disassemble them myself, why should I waste time giving power to you three!?"

"We won't tell anyone you're breaking a rule," I said.

"... Alright fine!"

Player's p.o.v.

He had to make them in my attic (I didn't have a basement here) and so I had to stay downstairs and wait patiently.

"How long does it take to upgrade armor?" I asked.

"Arf!"

An explosion came from upstairs.

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" my mom called.

"Uh, a-a sound affect on my computer!" I called. I ran upstairs. "What did he do, oh no!" I burst into the attic. "WHAT THE FU-"

Finson was directly in front of me. His glasses were crooked, his hair was on end, and his smile was sinister and cocky.

"The Hunters," he said, "are ready."

My mouth dropped open at the gorgeous sight behind him.

X's new body was dark blue with white legs with a navy blue `x' symbol on his chest. His right arm had a cannon on it, and on his left hand a regular Buster. One thing that Finson added that was minor, but I really liked was that he was wearing a robotic white cloak that was attached to his upper body.

Zero's new body was a darker shade of red with brown legs and black arms. His saber seemed three-times bigger, as the base of it took up his entire back. His hair was in a man-bun, like a sammurai, and his armor even looked like a sammurai's.

Axl's new body was completely black with red legs. He had a gun about as big as his body hooked on his back, and on his waste was a gun about the size of his hand which I guess was the special shot. He also got a vest attached to his torso, and it was black and dark red.

Rush walked over and peed on Zero.

"Hey!"

I laughed. "You boys look awesome!"

"That old armor of theirs was too bland for my taste," Finson said, fixing his glasses. "This should make you strong enough to defeat those Mavericks. Just, uh, don't tell anyone I did this to you, I'll be in huge trouble for hanging out with Reploids!"

"Sure thing. We'll be sure to free our Universe."

"You'd better," I said, "or I won't hesitate to leave you in this attic with Rush!"

"Arf arf!"

"Well, back to the sewers!"

Zero's p.o.v.

"HEY! WE'RE READY TO FIGHT NOW! IS ANYONE THERE!?"

Nobody was approaching us.

"Damn it, I wanna try out this giant gun!"

"Maybe they're not here anymore?" X said. "I mean, there are several other places to hide in that gigantic ci-" A giant knife broke through the wall and pierced his heart. "AUK!"

"X!"
