Zero raced up ahead of X shouting, "If you don't hurry up I'm going to start calling you Crystal Snail!" X activated his dash boot pushing himself even with Zero. "More like Overdrive Ostrich, eh Flame Mammoth?" X taunted as he raced farther ahead. "You know we wouldn't have to do this, running 1,000 Km I mean, if you didn't super glue Signas to his chair and try to blame it on me we wouldn't be in this mess." Zero grinned about to play his trump card, "You know if you keep this up I'll tell Alia on you." X turned redder than Zero's armor for a moment, then snapped back "Wait your the one dating her! So you could be in trouble too!" "Yeah but she's YOUR sister!" Zero shot back before racing ahead again. As they ran they entered a small wooded area when they heard some shouting followed by a loud scream. They skidded to a stop and walked towards where they heard it originate.

X knelt by the figure, who laid sprawled out, face down. He slowly turned the body over while Zero stood with his buster ready. The both looked at the figure in shock as he lay fully on his back. Zero was the first to say anything, "Other than that funky hair do he looks a lot like you." X just kind of nodded as he looked at the body. "Maybe we should poke him with a stick!" Zero said, obviously not thinking again. "Are you daft? You do not just poke bodies with a stick!" X shouted as he glared at Zero. Zero thought for a moment before replying, "Maybe we should poke him with my beam saber." X just shook his head before replying, "Okay, now you're just trying to piss me off." X turned back to the body before speaking again, "He seems familiar somehow, like I've seen him before. And I don't mean how is armor looks similar to yours either chest-light boy." Zero gave X a look of pure poison which got ignored. "You know, he almost looks like that project Dr. Cain was working on...You know my half-brother, the one that disappeared a few years ago." X said as he scooped up the body. "What in the seven shades of hell do you think your doing?" Zero said obviously peeved. "I mean how do you know he isn't carrying a form of the Maverick virus, or is an attempt to get us killed that went wrong?" X smirked and replied, "Because it isn't in my contract." Before teleporting out. Zero shook his head and followed right behind him.
