Chapter 23 - He had to come back

Zero kneels and stretches one hand.

Zero: Let's hope this works. Gate's weakness: FORM!!!

The energy balls in the room zip into Zero's hand, then travel onto his Z-saber.

Zero: Your attack is your weakness... I see. You will pay for hurting my friend.

Gate: ...Fu?

Zero runs up and chops Gate's armor off. He then kicks Gate to the ground. X recovers.

X: Zero? You're all black...

Zero: Dr. Light gave me an improvement, so I took advantage of it...

X: I see. And Gate?

Zero: He won't mess with us anymore.

Gate: Fuuuuuuu.....

X: Hmm. We stopped the mad scientist, destroyed his evil robots, and stopped the evil nightmare.

Zero: Yup, I guess that's it, then.

X: Yeah, It's all over.

Zero: Seems so.

X: Yeah, nothing bad can occur from now own.

Zero: Nope. Gate's run out of tricks. Nothing's left.

Silence. Tumbleweeds. Several "...."s.

Gate: Fu? Kuu?

X: Leave that for the Sonic Adventure 2 parody.

Zero: Alright, I can't take this anymore. Gate...

Gate: Fu?

X: This is a Megaman X game.

Gate: Fu.

Zero: We're supposed to fight someone, remember? At the end of EVERY Megaman X game?

Gate: Oh! Right! But it wouldn't make any sense. I depend on Zero's DNA, so why would he be here? I mean, he's usually been the force behind the mayhem. But not this time. I'm the bad guy. It wouldn't make sense...

X: Shuddup. Just do it.

Gate: Fine. Umm... (Waves his arms a bit) I thought up this cool emergency measure. I revived Sigma...

X and Zero: What!!! Sigma??? But how could he survive... Bwahahahahahaha!

X and Zero crack up, laughing.

Zero: Oh look, Sigma's back. How unexpected... Yeah right. Bwahahahahaha!

X: Hey Sigs (snicker), how's it going?

A humanoid reploid wakes up.

Sigma: Please! I didn't need you, Gate. To prove it, I'll blow you away!

Gate is blown away by Sigma's attack.

Gate: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!

Sigma: I'll... stop... X and... Zero... with... power!!!

X: I think his brain melted. Why would he do that to Gate?

Zero: There are enough plotholes already. For now, let's stop him - hey, where'd he go?

X: Let's follow him, and get this game over with.

Zero: Ahh! Game Over!!! Don't say that!
