Alert! ALert! ALert! Alert!

Dr. Wilys voice over the intercom: He he ha ha ha ha ha your all DOOOOOMED!

Zero - Hurry up! We might not make it!

X limps behind with a hole through his left foot along the ankle servos. Even with all his processors compensating for balance and inbalance,
he struggles along at the pace of almost human.

X - Im trying! Go ahead without me..

Zero - Shut up! Hurry up!

X smiles and pushes himself down the smoking corridor toward whatever end, with Zeros back in front of him he feels safe , even with half a body, he would feel safe. Yet at the same time, something scares him about Zero. It always has but at times like this, he thinks this is probably why Zero is the way he is. No one is better at survival , no one than he. The whole world may indeed one day burn but Zero, somehow he cannot think of a world where he doesnt exist.
Why is that? Why do I feel that way?

Zero - We are here ! Right here! Dr.! Are we ready to go?

Dr. Wily - I think so. What took you so long!? The signal on your transponders went out 7 hours and 43 minutes ago!

X makes eye contact with Dr. Wily and looks down, embarrassed.

Zero - Forget that! You have NO idea how many mavericks are bearing down on us right now! And for god sake father, how many insane robot versions of yourself did you make anyway? And how many of them did they make of themselves?

Dr. Wily - I think you already know the answer to that. There is no certainty of anything anymore in this world...And...I apologize for that.

Zero - Humanity and I can forgive you or not after we surivive. Lets go. THis transerver,where is it taking us?

Dr. Wily - I honestly cannot find that information in this machine. It was set to a destination, locked into the circuitry itself as an integrated bios function that auto executes when the unit is powered on. There IS a set of mathematical coordinates but the style its written...Ive never seen coordinates written with this many numbers before.
No matter how I divide the numbers up looking for a pattern the patterns i find seem to be...unrealistic.

Zero - Here we will die, so...

Zero grabs Wily and X both by the arms and drags them into the transerver.

Zero - This can be on me...this and everything else can be on me...

A blinding white light ends with green fields and blue skys along a beautiful sunset backdrop. Behind them the white portal flashes out of existence.

Dr. Wily - Hmm seems like Nebraska country to me. Beautiful..

X - Nebraska. I see...

Zero - Whats Nebraska?

Wily cant help but smile at the contrast of the two bots.

X - Zero...

Zero - I know... my internal sensors are malfunctioning all over the board. Dr...something is very wrong.

X - Going into diagnostic mode.

X going into diagnostic mode is like the AI part of his brain only taking control of his body to fully focus on problems solving and systems correction without the emotion or ethical parts of his programming being engaged. Because of this, Xs body is locked into place and his servo control program shuts down.

X - current systems showing malfunction are as follows: Gravitational orientation Gyroscopic stabilizers

Geographical and topical scanning systems Biological sensors Navigational Charting

Cause determined...

Unknown planet, unknown galaxy

Re-scanning current sky at 5 min intervals until solar position reoccurs from spot of activation...
Determining poles...accepted.
Gravity measured at 9.68 m/s. Determining atmospheric conditions...

X suddenly blasts off like a rocket from his thrusters at a velocity not seen before. He goes from the ground to 10 000 feet in 10 seconds. His body leaves a cloud vapor trail on the way up.

Dr. Wily - Holy shit Light. I see we have different ways of viewing survival , and my god look at how you show yours... Robbing the poor boy of all senses and then taking this unlawful and aggressive scan of everything and determining threats and compositions of things.
No one gave you permission old man...but then you never did see the arrogance of your bleeding hearts as you blast past any and all barriers to your explorations...well...it will serve us well this time.

X lowers back down through the clouds to the surface, the AI still in control.

Auto orientation and diagnostic repairs complete...

The black pupils in Xs eyes return.

X - Everyone...listen... I know where we are...sort of.

Zero - Before that, I want an explanation from you Wily...we just finished blasting the last X clone when suddenly here comes Serges with a maverick freaking army the likes no one has ever seen! They zeroed in on us...as if they knew where our base was all along!

Dr. Wily - Zeroed in ? You say?

Zero - I swear to god ...father or not you know what im capable of and right now, that evil insane part of you that controlled the world so long ago, is now still trying to control things now and you dont seem able or willing to stop it...THAT BOTHERS ME ...father.

Dr. Wily - That God damn robot... I mean...im sorry, even if its me i shouldn't curse like that. I love my robot friends. But...I cant really give you the answer You know that he is me at least in his genius and that alone makes him nearly my equal. I suppose, he is here as a reminder of past debts we still haven't fully paid. Sometimes I think its the blood on human hands that lead fate to this, through me. I hate myself Zero. I hate what human beings are.
You are supposed to show us the strength without weakness that humans will never be able to do...Zero. Forgive me for Serges. Forgive me for being human.
Forgive us all. Forgive us all...Zero.

Zero - Sighs- Well... its not us reploids that have the harder time of it...so.. whatever...

X - We are not even in the milky way galaxy. According to the data all my sensors got ...

Zero - Wily...how come you didnt give me a system scanning ability like he has? I still dont even have my poles or my gyro stabilizers aligned and hes got the whole galaxy mapped out. Thats a little...shortsighted of you doctor...

Dr. Wily - Zero...you were made entirely when I was insane for the most part... and yet you still turned out to be greater than anyone I imagined. Yes, its because I only cared for a few things in your design. learning. And also remember that i stole some of the AI and programming from light in order to get you to also have Xs evolutionary ability and emotional capacity. I could make the machines emotion chips but couldn't program them correctly. Light was a genius there.
Now, so am I. But what you lack in features you make up for in the ways that matter most. Lights boy can understand when and where and what a little better. But Wilys boy...can understand how to win, how to survive and how to live among humans and nature in a better harmony.

Wily looks over to X.

Dr. Wily - sorry my boy, but i just think my way, his way is the right way...your scans will help us a lot though.

X walks up to Zero.

X - I can transfer all my data to you.

X puts his hand on Zeros shoulder. Zeros eyes start to show data streams...

Zero - Thanks.

Zero shoots a glance over to Wily as if to say, we both have a lot to learn from him still..

Zero - Andromeda!? We are in the Andromeda galaxy!? And...we dont even know what system or planet this is..its never been charted...we are on the eastern disc of the galaxy..
Ha! Your scans couldnt figure everything out after all. Still...the information is incredible X. Soil, air, planet size...its all here. We should find shelter for him though..yeah?

X - Yes. The Dr wont survive the elements forever like we will. There also appears to be only one sun and the gravity is about the same. It even looks like Earth.

Dr. Wily - Ive got a bad feeling about this place.

Zero - As you should, because Xs scans show civilization here. Population 3,349,997,336. Humanoid. Economy class Computer age. No nuclear technology. Only minimal readings of artificial life forms and reploid activity.

Dr. Wily - What the hell was serges doing building transervers to planets in other galaxy's? How the hell did he even get the coordinates to this place? How did he set a transerver over such large distances?

From behind an old Birch tree steps Serges...

Serges - simple, really. we didnt travel over any distance at all...this is an alternate reality and this current position in this reality happens to be opposite the side of the universe we were on before.
Its strange how the universe works really...points in space are all the same yet in different places in time across all realitys. Each one occupys its space and time at random intervals. It turns out old man...
Old human aging man...that no matter how many different coordinates I set, I would always get this earth like planet, just in a different reality. Truth be told,
each time we go through the transerver we would be going into a new dimension but on this planet.

Dr. Wily - Whats going on ...your not insane...

Serges - No, I am not insane anymore Dr. Anymore than you were after you were cured...but you knew how to reprogram me all along didnt you?

Dr. Wily - ...

Zero - Whats the meaning of this doctor!

Dr. Wily - I ...couldnt do it. Id rather destroy you than cure you.

Serges- Indeed! indeed! Yet, now here I stand. A changed bot. Do you still wish to destroy me? Brother?

Wily stands up forcefully and stands eye to eye , inches apart from his face, in defiance, in provocation.

Serges - yyeeeeessss perhaps we both are not so cured eh doctor? human filth is human filth, even minus their innocent flaws.

Wily - I ...I just dont like looking at myself, not then, not now much either. Dont use your intimate knowledge of me, to entertain yourself!

Serges - Your right. I apologize. I dont like myself much these days either, perhaps I wanted to torture you also into order to punish the image of me. I suggest we all sit down and decide how we are going to get home because we both know the AI program that controlled the base self destructed.

Zero - It sounded like you...

Serges - Ego has its advantages and it has its disadvantages..

X- Oh I almost forgot!

X pulls out a pocket sized red ball from a compartment in his back. X kicks the red ball at the nearby tree and in flys off leaving red trails of energy in its wake.
It bounces off the tree and breaks the tree in half, the balls soars into the air and glows bright orange red and transforms into a dog that gently drops down to the ground.

Rush - Ruuuuufff!
