X returns to the Hunter Base.

Signas: Alia detected a giant explosion at the Laser Institute.

X: Yeah, I came back because I saw the explosion. Let's hope Zero survived. (whispering) I'll need a damage buffer when we fight Sigma.

Zero finally teleports into base.

Zero: Hey everybody.

X: Zero!

X hugs Zero. Everyone is so surprised by this action that they stay away from X and Zero.

X: I was worried. I didn't know if you survived, and for a second, I thought you were...

X (finally) realizes what he is doing. He quickly breaks away and backs off.

X: ...Dead. How else would I get my precious DNA chip? It's not like I am secretly in love with you are anything like that. I just leech off of your overwhelming charisma.

Zero: Right... the DNA chip. Here you go.

Guard Shell - Shield's enemy's shot for a counter attack.

X: Hmm... for both of us? Odd... this doesn't feel exactly like Shield Sheldon's DNA...

Zero (thinking): Maybe my cool uber-power ruined the power transfer?

X: Oh well. Hey, there seems to be an armor program, but it's really scrambled. I'll try to decipher it. Might take a while.

Zero: Oh...

Alia: Attention! We're getting a transmission from... Gate?

Gate: Fu fu. Welcome to my nightmare.

X: We've been in the nightmare for several weeks, you idiot.

Gate: Fu you. I've been waiting for someone to destroy my investigators.

Zero: Why not use them to take over the world?

Gate: ... I didn't fu that far. The point is I'm happy you fu lived up to my expectations.

X: It was a test. Right. That was very dumb.

Gate: I'm Fuing the coordinates of my super secret stealth hidden laboratory/fortress to you. Come and fu me, if you fu.

X: Fu?

Gate: (laughing) FU FU Fu fu fu...

Alia: The transmission has ended.

X: The idiot GAVE us his laboratory's coordinates.

Zero: After we fued his Nightmare Investigators. Let's just go and fu him.
