(Zero wants to start a basketball team and X liked the idea for some reason. So they go tell everyone in the Maverick Hunger Headquarters to see who will join in.)

Gate: Are you out of your mind?!

X: Yes.

Zero: No.

Signas: Why would you want to start a basketball team, when we have more important things to take care of, like saving the world from Mavericks?

Zero: Oh, the world can save themselves from Mavericks... but can the world play basketball on a team?

X: Yea.

Zero: (Whispering) Quiet X, you're not helping.

Signas: Alright Zero, you can play basketball. But only if you can find enough people for your team.

Zero: Great, hey Light Saber you want to be on my team?

Life Savor: No thanks. If I was on a basketball team, it would be against you and not with you.

Gate: Hey Life Savor you want to be on my team?

Life Savor: Great, as long as we can beat Zero.

Gate: Come on Alia, you can help us find more members.

Alia: Ok, sorry Zero.

(Gate, Life Savor, and Alia walk off to go find more members. The ones to go on X and Zero's team were Douglas, Colonel, and Iris. On Gate's team it was, Life Savor, Alia, Double, and Dynamo. Gate wanted to make sure that he'd beat Zero's team so that's why he hired the two Mavericks. Once X and Zero found out...)

Zero: Aw, not them, anyone but them!

X: But Zero, Double is mainly after me, and Dynamo is just someone with bold words.

Zero: Yea, but who are those bold words for? Me!

X: Oh, will you stop complaining! Zero: No! Well not until after we beat them.

X: Oh joy.

(X and Zero go to a bar to celebrate their big game on Friday. Zero gets drunk quickly.)

X: Zero shouldn't we be practicing?

Zero: Why bother, there's no way that they can beat us.

X: Well I do agree that Life Saver doesn't pose much of a threat.

Zero: So forget about it. Just chill and have some fun until our big basketball game on Friday.

X: Whatever you say Zero, whatever you say.

(X and Zero leave, and didn't know that Neon Tiger was listening the whole time.)

Neon Tiger: (Gasp) Zero has a basketball team? Why didn't he invite me? Well I'll show him, I'll get a better team, and then he'll come crawling back to me. Oh Zero, why must you test our love so?

(Neon Tiger leaves the bar and he gets fellow Mavericks to be on his team. They were Blizzard Wolf Fang, Flame Stag, Slash Beast, and Magma Dragoon. Soon it was Friday, and they were at a stadium and it was night. X and Zero's team was getting ready.)

Zero: Alright men, this is a dangerous mission, and it's likely that one of us will be killed.

(The whole team just stared at Zero confused.)

X: Zero be quiet and let a real captain lead this.

Zero: Yes sir.

(Zero sits down and X instructs the team what to do.)

X: Alright team, I'd like to tell you some words of encouragement, but I can't think of any.

Zero: Haha. Boo, you suck!

X: So go out there and give it your all. And remember to have fun.

Zero: Boo, that's looser talk, let's go kick butt!

X: Zero, may the best team win.

Zero: What the hell does that mean?! Aw, now were doomed for sure!

(X and Zero go out to the court where the cheering fans were going wild. The announcer introduced the team and the team members.)

Announcer: The first team to come out is X and Zero's team! And introducing first, MegaMan X!

(The crowd cheers loudly.)

X: Thank you, thank you, I'm here til Thursday!

Zero: But X, it's Friday.

X: Shut up Zero, don't ruin this for me.

Announcer: And as for the rest, we give to you, Douglas, Iris, the Colonel, and Zero!

(They all come out, but Zero pushes past them and acts like an idiot.)

Zero: Yea, woo!

(The crowd is silent.)

Zero: Oh sure boo the drunk.

Announcer: And now introducing Gate's team! And the players are, Life Savor...

(The crowd roars really loud.)

Zero: Boo, boo!

Announcer: ...Alia, Double, Dynamo, and Gate!

(The crowd roots.)

Zero: Hey marriage man!

(Gate grabs the basketball and throws it at Zero, and it hits him in the stomach. Everyone laughs at Zero since he got hit.)

Zero: Ow, hey!

(The two teams get into position and Signas is the referee and he tosses up the ball. Zero makes the jump for it, but since Double was quicker, he grabbed it first. Zero just stands there wondering what happened.) Iris: Come on Zero, we have to play.

Zero: Oh right.

(Double makes the score, and then the Colonel grabbed Zero from behind.)

Colonel: Zero, you'd better not screw this one up, because if you do, then I'll really turn your lights out. Got it!

Zero: Sure thing brother in law.

Colonel: I wish you wouldn't call me that.

Zero: Well welcome to the 20th Century bro.

Colonel: What?

(As the game continued, X and Zero's team was winning. Just then Zero injured Dynamo somehow.)

Dynamo: Hey, what gives Zero! Now I can't play, and it's all thanks to you.

Zero: Oh, well your welcome.

Dynamo: You know Zero, it's easier just to call you plain stupid. I guess your brain is one of your smaller and underused weak muscles, now isn't it?

Zero: What the hell does that mean! Are you challenging me? If you are, then I'll take off my belt and beat you boy. Or maybe I'll hit you with a sack of oranges, since it leaves no bruise.

Dynamo: What? Belt? Oranges? What are you talking about!

Zero: Oh, oh, you're giving me lip aren't you, well alright let's go.

(Zero grabs a belt from nowhere and he waves it around, and it makes the whipping sound.)

Dynamo: Ah, get this freak away from me!

X: Zero stop it, leave him alone! We have to stay focused on the game!

(X pushes Zero away, and then turns toward Dynamo.)

X: I know that we're enemies, but I'm sorry about that. I know Zero didn't mean to do that.

Dynamo: It's ok. I would've expected that from your wanna-be partner.

(Gate's team takes a time out, and Zero runs over to X.)

X: Zero, what happened out there what do you want?

Zero: I want to see the Colonel.

X: But he's busy talking to Iris.

Zero: Perhaps you didn't hear me, I said I want to see the Colonel!

X: You're too late, the 20 seconds are over.

(The buzzer beeped, and Gate's team went back on the court. Zero's jaw drops angrily.)

Gate: Thanks a lot Zero, we're short one person! Why don't you take somebody out?

Zero: Ok.

(Zero charges his gun and fires it at Douglas, knocking him down.)

Douglas: Ah, Zero you idiot, now I can't play!

Zero: That's the idea.

Douglas: You could've just had me sit out you know!

Zero: But Gate said to take somebody out.

Gate: That's not what I meant.

Zero: Ew, so you wanted me to take him out on a date then? You know I'm married!

Signas: If you all don't mind, we have a game going.

(The teams go back into action, and Double has the ball. Since everyone on the opposite team were being blocked, Double went for a slam dunk.)

Double: Yes, this is yet another moment for my fabulous glory.

Zero: Woo, go Double, I believe you can fly!

X: Zero he's not on our team.

(Double was in the air, but since he heard Zero, it messed him up, and he hit his head on the basketball hoop.)

Double: Ow god this hurts! Zero you idiot, why did you do that, I'm not your enemy! But now you are one of them.

Zero: Aw, what did I do now?

Gate: Thanks a lot Zero, now we're short another person again!

Zero: What, you want me to shoot somebody again?

Gate: X, you should get Zero's hearing checked or something.

X: But that's your job.

Alia: You know what, this basketball game is turning more into a circus. I'm sitting out.

Iris: Yea me too.

Zero: But Iris I can change!

X: What do we do now, it's two on three?

Zero: Hey, you want me to shoot the Colonel?

Colonel: Do it, and I'll kill you!

Zero: That sounds like a wager to me.

X: Zero don't shoot the Colonel, Iris would get upset.

Zero: Oh so that's why she won't eat her ice cream.

(Iris was sitting down pouting out of boredom, and her ice cream fell. But before the ice cream could touch the ground, Zero raced over there and ate it in one bite.)

Iris: Haha, hey, now I want a new ice cream.

Zero: Gate, you're needed!

Gate: It better be to kill you.

X: Can we please get back to the game?!

Announcer: Well this has sure been amusing. There's a game going on but the crowd is getting tired and angry. They came for the action, so the two teams better get back to playing before the game is disqualified.

(Just then Neon Tiger comes in through the stadium doorway, where the players come in from, and he had a basketball team.)

Neon Tiger: Hello boys, forget to invite us to the team?

Zero: Ah, oh no not him! Anyone but him!

Neon Tiger: So Zero are you ready to come out and play?

Zero: If you haven't noticed, we're playing a game here?!

Neon Tiger: But it's two against three, and we have five.

Zero: So.

Neon Tiger: And what's two plus three?

Zero: What're you dumb, it's five!

X: Zero.

Zero: What?

X: If we combine our teams with Gate, and Life Savor, then it'll be five on five.

Life Savor: Oh no, I'm not playing with Zero.

Zero: Aw come on you have to, or Neon Tiger will get me.

Life Savor: Like I care.

Zero: Please Life Savor.

Life Savor: (Surprised) You actually got my name right? Alright just this once.

Announcer: Looks like we've got a new game folks. I guess we're gonna see some basketball after all.

(The two teams jump for the ball, and Neon Tiger gets it. Everyone is wearing a jersey and shorts, but Neon Tiger is just wearing a jersey. As he runs down the court, the wind blows it up and everyone cries out while shielding their eyes and Neon Tiger scores.)

Neon Tiger: Ha, I'm wearing armor, and we don't wear clothes anyway you know.

Both teams: (Phew)

Crowd: (Phew)

Zero: Yea, well it was still disturbing.

X: Poor Zero, you're not having a good day, aren't you?

Zero: You could say that again. Oh boy, looks like this is gonna take a while until we win.

X: Alright team you ready, let's go!

Team: Yea!

(The team springs into action, and Neon Tiger got upset. The score right now was 99 to 99, and Neon Tiger accidentally fowled Zero, enabling him to have two free shots left, in order to win. Everyone cheered on for Zero.)

Neon Tiger; (Gasp) Zero don't beat my team, I love you! Come on, if you loose the game for me, then I'll do something nice for you.

(Neon Tiger makes a kissing sound at Zero, and Zero gets scared. Zero then shot threw the ball, but he missed. Neon Tiger was pleased so far.)

Neon Tiger: Ok, good job Zero, now just miss the other shot, and then you'll be mine.

Zero: Oh no, if I don't make it, then my whole team will hate me. Especially Life Savor.

(Zero looks over at Life Savor and Life Savor gives him the look. Zero gets the shivers, and then looks away and tries to concentrate.)

Iris: Come on Zero, you can do it! Remember it's just a game, nobody will hate you if you miss. Right everyone?

(Iris looks back at everyone with an angry face, and everyone nods their heads.)

Announcer: And now it's the moment everyone's been waiting for! Will Zero make it and be a winner, or will he miss and prove to be the big loser that he is?

Crowd: Haha! Woo!

Zero: Aw man! Well I guess it's up to me. Please help me this time, and let me win god.

(Zero threw the ball and covered his eyes. The ball goes in slow motion and the crowd, the announcer, and both teams are silent. Neon Tiger is standing there in star struck, and imagining Zero missing and what he will do for Zero when he loses. The ball bounces on the rim and then hits the backboard and makes it in, right when the buzzer goes off. Zero's team won, and the crowd went wild.) Crowd: Yah, what a good game!

Announcer: And there you have it! Zero's team is the winning team, alright congratulations Zero is not a loser, he is now temporarily a winner! Give it up folks!

Zero: I can't believe it. I won, I won alright!

X: Congratulations Zero, I knew you could do it!

Iris: Yea, he's my husband!

Gate: You did it Zero. I'm impressed to encounter this moment.

Zero: Thanks Gate. I guess Maverick Hunters and Reploids and humans are better at everything than Mavericks.

(Neon Tiger's team yells out in rage and Neon Tiger was still in star struck. Neon Tiger came to his senses when his team started to beat him up. Then they all ran off embarrassed, while the winning team had their victory.)

Signas: I'm proud of all of you. You all played a great game, and when some of your teammates were out, then you worked together. I'm so proud of you all. However, I'm disappointed in you Zero. You shot Douglas! What the hell is up with you, you idiot?!

Zero: I'm sorry sir, but Gate told me to shoot him.

Gate: I did not! That's a lie, and you know it.

Zero: Well I'm sorry alright. Please Signas, it was a mistake.

Signas: Alright Zero, but if you weren't one of our most strongest Maverick Hunters, then I would've fired you a long time ago. Well anyway everyone, you all did great. Now we all must get back to the base, and rest up for the next day. You can never be too sure when we are needed to save the world from the Mavericks again.

(The crowd was already gone, and so was the announcer. Neon Tiger's team was gone, except for him. He was just standing there upset. Everyone headed back for the base, but X and Zero were still there.)

Zero: Ok look Neon Tiger, I won so don't follow us, or whatever you might do to bother us. Ok!

X: Come on Zero, don't give him any ideas.

Neon Tiger: (Gasp) You guys are still here? (Gasp) Zero, you waited for me, oh Zero I knew you loved me. Come here, give me a kiss, champ.

Zero: Ah, X why did you make us stay and talk to him to make him not feel bad!

X: Zero it was your idea to stay and to rub it in his face!

Zero: Dam it!

Neon Tiger: Go away X, leave me and my man alone! Now where were we Zero?

(X and Zero ran out of the stadium, and Neon Tiger chased them through the city. X and Zero ran and ran, trying to find the Maverick Hunter Headquarters. Just then coming up ahead was Double and Dynamo. They both saw them, and they tried to grab them, but X and Zero jumped over them and continued running. They turned around and saw them running.)

Double: What the heck are they running from?

Dynamo: I see, they're being chased by Neon Tiger.

(Dynamo points out for Double to see Neon Tiger coming up. But the second they turned around, Neon Tiger jumped on them and started kissing them. Double and Dynamo were disgusted and they pushed Neon Tiger off of them.)

Neon Tiger: Don't deny our love Zero... wa, wait, you're not Zero!

Double: That's right we're not, they ran passed us!

Dynamo: So get outta here you idiot!

(Double stabbed Neon Tiger with his beam sword. Neon Tiger screamed out in pain, like a little girl, while Dynamo kicked Neon Tiger into the air, sending him flying far away. Back to X and Zero, they were still running. They finally got to the base.)

X: Hurry Zero, hurry!

Zero: Wait up X, I'm almost there!

(X gets there first and holds the door open for Zero. Zero races in fast. X hurries inside, and he tries to get the door closed. Just then Neon Tiger falls from the sky, after the assault from Double and Dynamo, and he hits the door so hard from falling, so that it slams shut. X quickly locks the door and he and Zero look outside. They turn on a speaker, so that Neon Tiger could hear them.)

X: Thanks for helping us close the door on you Neon Tiger.

Zero: Yea thanks sucker! Haha.

(Neon Tiger got up and looked at the door. Then he made a loud crying sound, and then ran off crying. X and Zero turn off the speaker. And made sure that the door was locked.) Zero: I can't believe it. We made it.

X: It's a good thing that he didn't catch up to us in time, hu?

Zero: Yea, it was a close call.

X: Well once again, congratulations on your victory on the game. Good night Zero.

Zero: You're going to bed already?

X: It's midnight right now Zero, we need our rest, so good night.

Zero: Night X.

(X walks away down one of the hallways towards his room and Zero takes a different turn towards his room.)
