Final chapter of the date! Will X ask Alia to marry him on the beach? Will Zero and Axl beat the crap out of Sigma?(YES) Capcom owns X, Alia, Zero, Axl, and the very gay Sigma. Have a nice day. Sigma is gay! DIE!!!

------

Misc. Maverick 24 was working on the front gate of Sigma's flying fortress. He could have sworn he heard the sound of a biker gang approaching... Zero cut his head off before he could look, however.

"Easy enough." Zero shook his head.

"Yeah. Usually, there's more of a fight to get in these places." Axl jumped off his bike and waved Zero on. "Ladies first!"

"Shut-up, Kid." Zero dashed into the fortress, blade drawn. The Mavericks inside would never stand a chance...

------

X and Alia were on the beach, watching the sunset. X smiled at Alia, who was hypnotized by the sun. Her blond hair was gently caressed by the wind, and the sounds of the sea soothed her mind. X's hand touched hers softly, and she wrapped her hand around his in return. X blushed slightly at the sudden growth of affection, but was calm enough to hide it. Alia sighed contentedly, gazing out at the receding sun. The pink and lavender swirls surrounding the sun were beginning to fade into darkness, but it seemed as though God himself was holding the sun at the horizon for them.
Alia suddenly leaned on X's shoulder, almost startling the veteran. He brought his arm around Alia's shoulder, allowing her to rest there. X looked at the receding sun, only to wonder if his life would reflect the image before him...

------

Sigma stared at the screen in horror. Zero and Axl had cut a swath through his troops, destroying every Maverick in sight. Zero had all ready reached the first 'Pre-Sigma' boss, and had totaled the incomplete monster without hesitation. Axl would soon reach his own, but this one wasn't even HALF built!

"WHY?!? I TOLD YOU PEOPLE TO BE READY! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF READY?!?" Sigma's roar busted the audio circuits in most of his troops, causing them to wander aimlessly. "BREAK OUT THE CANNON! WE'LL BLAST THEM OUT!"

"BUT SIR!" Misc. Maverick 273,858,572,284 was a lip reader, so he understood Sigma even without hearing him. "The cannon isn't even complete! Besides! If we're in the air, as we currently are, then we'd come crashing down because of power loss!"

"Valid points. But you see, I don't care. GET THAT CANNON READY!!!" Cause Sigma's gay, and doesn't care about his men. "I HEARD THAT! Stupid writer..."

------

X had been practicing the verses over and over in his head for the last ten minutes. He could never get it right, however...

"X, what are you thinking about?" Alia asked him, gazing into his eyes. Now was as good a time as any...

"Alia...

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by the sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose--

With my lost saints-- I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life!-- and, if God choose,

I shall but love the better after death..."

('how do I love thee' by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.)

Alia had blushed throughout the poem. She had never in her life had anyone MEMORIZE poetry just for her! "X, I..." He smiled at her, and kissed her cheek. The kiss was innocent, like the love they shared...

------

Zero cut another 'Pre-Sigma' boss in half. The bosses, which normally were extremely hard, served only to hinder Zero's progress.

"So weak, dude. So weak." Zero pulled his saber free from the wreckage. "Next stage, Sigma!" Zero smiled. Before he could leave the room however, the entire fortress began to shake.

Zero pulled out a tape recorder from his armor and hit play. "Note to self: If an enemy base is shaking, is not a good sign. Ever. Kill Sigma then run like a crazy." The tape ended.

"Gotta love notes." Zero ran into the next series of room, cutting down everything that got in his way. One Maverick decided to get uppity, and clamped on to Zero's head. Zero, being as calm as he usually is, grabbed it and threw it across the room. It shattered on impact. Upon reaching the end of the corridor, Zero stopped before the door labeled 'Final Door to DOOM! RUN, LITTLE CHILD! RUN!' Zero raised his eyebrows. "Yeah. Sigma's defiantly gay." He pushed open the door, only to find a giant black circle in his face. "Oh. Crap."

------

Unbeknownst to X and Alia, they had a spy in their midst. QuackMan, a rather duck like Reploid, had been taping the entire date.

"Aflack(insert little r, c, and TM things here)! My mission will be successful! Muwahahaha! Aflack! Now to knock X out with this HOLY 2X4, like some Mafia hitman!"

QuackMan made the mistake of setting the camera down on X's car, however. A balloon version of Zero popped out of the roof.

"GET AWAY FROM THE CAR, Mother F^C$&@!!!"

"AAAHHHH!!! AFLACK!!!!" QuackMan ran off, dropping the HOLY 2X4 in the process. X, who was half asleep at the time, turned around to see the balloon of Zero standing on the car.

"Big Red Guy Named Zero." X mumbled. Before he returned to sleep, he pulled a small box out of his armor. Opening it, he took a necklace out of it and gently put it on Alia. She sighed, wrapping her arm's around X, and dreaming of their wedding day...

------

Axl ran through the hallways, rapidly approaching the final area of Sigma's fortress. He stopped when he found an area filled with bodies. "Yup. Zero's been here." He ran on, ignoring the groans of pain from not quite dead Reploids. He suddenly paid attention to one specific groan.

"Aw... This sucks. It's just like X1! Stupid gay Sigma!" Zero's upper body complained.

"Dude, Zero! You okay?" Axl knelt beside the dying Zero.

"Yeah, I'll be back next game. Watch it when you open the door, he's got a gun pointed right at it. Also, tell X not to be such a jerkwad. I rea- " Zero died.

"Oh well. He'll be back, like always." Axl pulled his half dead body out of the way, then knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Sigma asked.

"It's Cake Fruity! Let me in!" Axl pounded on the door like a sissy.

"Okay Cake. Just give me a minute to move the cannon." Axl heard the sound of movement, and the door opened. "Hey! Your not Cake! Cheater!"

"Your fault for not realizing he was dead." Axl suddenly went Matrix style on Sigma, unleashing a volley of bullets on him. Since Sigma was belted into the cannon, he took every hit and screamed in pain.

"You jerk! I'll be back like always! GRRR!!!" Sigma exploded.

"Well, that's over." The fortress started to shake even more. "Or... Maybe not!"

------

X woke up when the floating fortress splashed down fifteen miles away. It exploded, reminding him of the first time he defeated Sigma. "Dang... How long will I have to fight? Stupid Mavericks. Maybe the epilog was right, and only my X Buster knows..."

X heard several knocking sounds from the car. Not wanting to wake Alia, he gently picked her up and set her in the back seat. He then noticed the HOLY 2x4 and video camera.

"Sigma. Crap, I knew he was up to something!" X once again heard the knocking sounds coming from the trunk. He carefully opened the trunk, and Zero fell out. "What the..."

"I died." Zero grunted and stood.

"Oh, okay. SO THIS IS WHERE YOU GET RE-" Zero clamped his hand over X's mouth.

"No, it's just where I tried to teleport to AFTER I was rebuilt, and I wound up in your trunk. Now let's try NOT to wake up Alia." Zero removed his hand.

"Okay. Where's Axl?"

"He was in Sigma's fortress. He should have teleported here..." Zero looked to see Axl appear in the ocean. "Yep, there he is."

"HELP! I CAN'T SWIM!" Axl was laying in the surf, waving his arms.

"Oh joy. Hey X, did you ask her to marry you?"

"No! I'm waiting until the second date!" X blushed.

Alia woke up to find a gold necklace hanging around her neck. It had diamonds all over the pendent(which was a heart), and the chain was 24K gold laced with pure silver and emeralds. She gasped, then ran over and glomped onto X.

THE END

So... Yeah. The end of date one... I don't know if I'll make more though. Have to finish Silence of the Soul and Welcome to Existence first. Cya later.
