Chapter 28 - I write too much

X makes it outside of Gate's Fortress before it explodes. Out of exhaustion, he drops Gate and Zero's body next to him. X then notices that he has no armor.

X: Hey, my armor! And my weapons! I lost them all again. This happens every time I beat Sigma and destroy his giant base. Almost as if it were a plot device...

Alia arrives at the scene.

Alia: ZERO!

Alia picks up Zero's unconscious body and holds it tightly.

X: Umm... Alia, I brought Gate too.

Alia: AND? Zero's so injured...

X: I brought Gate because he was a good friend of yours.

Zero finally awakens. He attempts to Hydroga out of Alia's grasp but he jumps instead.

Zero:...I have no special attacks... You beat Sigma.

X: Yup.

Alia: So, this is what happened, Gate.

X: He tried to revive Sigma and that was his reward.

Alia: YOU KILLED GATE?

X: No, Sigma did.

Zero: Why did you bring him back, anyway?

X: I know how it feels to lose your friends.

Zero: Oh right... sorry about dying back then... Wait. No. You left me for dead!

Alia: You... did... WHAT!

X: Um No I didn't, Zero. You were critically damaged, and there was nothing I could do.

Alia: Oh, OK. I thought you let him die. I would have had to kill you.

X: Oh sure, like you could kill me. What would you hit me with?

Alia: My text stopper.

X: Your what?

Zero: Not THE text stopper from MMX5!

A large rock appears above X.

X: Oh crap, I'd better move!

Before X can dash, a large text box appears at the top of the screen. The box halts all movement.

Alia: Eat text stopper and DIE!!!

The box clears and time continues, but X's timing is screwed up, and the rock quickly crushes him.

Zero: It didn't have to be that big, Alia.

X: So THAT's what kept happening in Burn Dinorex's stage... You know, you should give me that weapon.

Alia: Shutup. Pick up Gate so we can take him back and try to repair him. Zero, you can teleport with me...

Alia clutches Zero and teleports away.

X: You know, the story for this episode was pointless and unfulfilling, unlike MMX5.

X teleports away, with Gate in his grasp. After that, two doctors enter the area. One of them is Dr. Light. The other is quite wily...

Dr. Light: Hmm. They did it again.

Wily guy: Yup... Well, I'll rebuild Sigma AGAIN.

Dr. Light: And I'll think up the special powers to give X and Zero.

Wily guy: Do you think this will be the last episode?

Dr. Light: With that Mega Man Zero game coming out on Game Boy Advance? Probably. I mean, I don't think the public can take this low-quality crap anymore.

Wily guy: Maybe we should have achieved closure with this episode, instead of just leaving a question mark ending like we did with the original Mega Man.

Dr. Light: Hmm... Maybe Capcom will get smart and bundle all of the Mega Man games into one CD or DVD.

Wily guy: We can only hope. We can only hope.

THE END
