"From The Window"
Epilogue: From The Window



It's only the second time but I find that I like the ride back to the Hunter Base. Dr. Cain did not stop me but he looked a little sad when he heard my decision. It must be lonely to be left in that grand house without anyone to accompany him but then he said he would be fine.

All hunters had to stay in the hunter base.

I sit near the window as the car moved across the road.

The hunter base was located near a cliff looking out to the city. The first time we drove to the hunter base, I really didn't pay too much attention to the surroundings but now I've learned to appreciate it. Because it was beautiful...

Dr. Cain smiled at me.

"My boy," he said. "Is this alright with you?"

I turn from the window and smile at him.

"I'm okay." I replied. "I think it's time I did something..." I look down at my hands. "I haven't done anything at all... but then..."

Dr. Cain nodded. "It's about him, isn't it?" He asked.

I look away slightly embarrassed while he laughed at me.

"I guess you'll be fine." He grinned.

I nodded and the long drive ended.



I walked along the halls of the hunter base and I stop realizing this was the same window I had looked out from yesterday. It was a rather hasty decision he made but I know I cannot stop him.

I remember him, standing outside, looking up at me with those frightened eyes. He told me of his fear but I only brushed it off. However, I knew that someday it might come true...

Someday, I know, I will be lying on the ground, bathing in my own blood. My blood that is the same color of my armor. It will cover me one day. Some day I do not know. Some day no one knows.

I am a hunter and things like these are unavoidable. But I don't mind.

When that day comes a new hunter will come to take my place and the world will continue to move on just like what it had been doing for a quite a while now.

I see him again stepping out from the car in front of the hunter base. Captain Sigma had told me that he will be my new partner. I don't understand why they had this decision but then some part of me told me it was okay.

I know him after all and he knows me...

I would not mind at all...

He looks up-



- our eyes lock for a moment-



Megaman X will be a great hunter. I know it. And he knew things I did not know and it is the same for him. Maybe being with him would be good.

I will hide this part of me someplace in my heart where no one would see. The crimson demon must remain without a heart but when I am with him I will show who I am.

He sees me and raises his hand to wave at me. Dr. Cain and Captain Sigma doesn't notice what either him nor I are doing.

And for the first time, I raise my hand, just enough for him to see, and I smile

I will call him "X" now. I don't think he'd mind...

I walk away to greet my new partner.



There are many memories in the Hunter's Base, both sad and happy. These memories linger about in every hall and every room. Memories that can never be erased, never can be forgotten. Forever these memories walk the halls and rooms...

And from the window that started it all...
