Chapter 13 - Finished Business

After fighting five giant donuts and falling in lava twice, Zero gets to a Dr. Light capsule.

Zero: Ah, a Dr. Light capsule!

Dr. Light: Hmm? Oh, it's Zero! How are you boy?

Zero: I'm doing well, sir.

Dr. Light: Perfect. I'm sorry Zero, but I haven't made armor for you yet. I only have the specs for that ungrateful creation of mine, X.

Zero: Well, he is trying his best.

Dr. Light: Bah. I would have loved to be your creator. Whoever made you must have been a great man.

Zero (scratches his head): He was a little too wily for me... Anyway, what am I getting for X?

Dr. Light: This is the Arm part for the Shadow Armor. It lets him fire shurikens in three directions and use a more powerful saber.

Zero: Cool. By the way, do you know who repaired me?

Dr. Light: I have no idea, Zero. I'm not sure how X survived, for that matter.

Zero: By the way, if you're just a hologram of a dead man, then how do you keep up on current events? How did you know X and I were damaged after the Virus incident?

Dr. Light: Uhhh... Bye! (The image quickly disappears.)

Zero: He's alive. I'm sure. That wily guy's probably still kicking, too.

Zero gets the body part and reaches the shutter.

WARNING!!!

Zero: Come out, Blaze Heatnix!

A bird appeears.

BH: How did you know my name?

Zero: (Puts away the manual.) ...Lucky guess. Let's fight!

BH: Right! Magma fill: bottom!

Zero leaps to the three floating platforms as magma fills the bottom.

BH: Haha! How did you like my cool attack!

Zero: ...It was... spectacular.

BH: You think so?

BH lands next to Zero.

Zero: Oh yeah. It probably wouldn't kill me, but it would hurt a lot. You know what would hurt me even more?

BH: What would?

Zero: If you flew down there and tried to attack from below.

BH: Yeah! That sounds great!

Zero: Sucker...Huh?

BH enters the magma, swims around for a while, and hits Zero from below.

Zero: How did you survive?

BH: I'm magma proof!

Zero: ...Oh. Well, that was extraordinary!

BH: Really?

Zero: Oh, yeah! You know, before you kill me, I would like to give you my personal tattoo.

BH: Cool! I'll have Zero's tattoo!

Zero: I'll put it on your back, OK? Now just turn around...

BH turns around. Zero giggles as he stabs BH in the back.

Zero: Good thing he floats; I need that DNA chip.
