(It's been at least a couple of days or so since the attack on the Maverick
Hunter Headquarters. Zero was still in the hospital, but has not yet woken
up. X and the others, including other fellow hunters, were still trying to
get the base fixed back up, and they were nearly finished. X had just
finished his work for the day, and was asleep in his room. He was lying
there asleep, and suddenly sat up awake.)
X: Hey what're you doing here?
Zero: Hurry X, Sigma's up to his usual stuff again.
X: At this time of night, he'd better be up to something.
Zero: Come on let's go.
(X runs after Zero, but suddenly stops.)
X: Wait a minute, how did you get out of the hospital so soon?
(Just then they both stop in front of a door.)
Zero: You don't worry about that.
(Zero opens the door, and X goes inside where the lights turn on, and everyone is in there.)
X: Hu? What's going on here?
Everyone: Happy birthday!
(X turns to Zero and whispers.)
X: But it's not my birthday.
Zero: Well they're having a lot of fun, so don't tell them that.
(Everyone is having fun at the party, and celebrating even though it's not X's birthday. After the games and food, X goes to talk to Zero.)
X: Wow, I can't believe that everyone's having such a good time. I mean, even Life Savor's partying.
(Life Savor is drunk and throwing presents in the air.)
Zero: Hey Light Saber!
(Life Savor waves stupidly, and Zero waves back.)
X: Why are you doing this, even though it's not my birthday?
Zero: Because we want to show you how special you are to us, we love you.
X: (Blushing) Oh stop it.
Zero: No, we really mean it. I love you X. And I'm not drunk.
X: Oh my god! Well, I love you too Zero.
(X and Zero look at each other, why'll everyone else is having fun at the party. X and Zero slowly move together ready to kiss, when all of a sudden.)
X: No! Hu?
(X looks around. He was really awake this time.)
X: Oh joy, it was just a dream.
(X looks at the clock and notices that the sun is already up.)
X: A long horrible dream!
(Just then someone knocks at the door, and it was Signas.)
Signas: Hurry up X, you're late, we have to get to work!
X: Ok, sorry, I'm coming.
(X and the other hunters get back to work on fixing the base. After a couple of hours they take a break. As X rests, Signas comes over to talk to him.)
Signas: So you have a rough day huh? Working hard, or hardly working?
X: No that would be me and Zero. But this time it's just me.
Signas: You miss Zero don't you? Don't worry, he should wake up soon.
X: How much longer do you think it will take to finish the base?
Signas: If we keep it up, then by tomorrow, Life Savor will have his maintenance room back.
X: Do you think then they could bring Zero back?
Signas: I don't think so, he's still in bad shape. But don't you worry, I can assure you that Life Savor and Gate are hard at work to fix him up.
(Gate and Life Savor are playing cards in Zero's hospital room. Zero's heart stops, causing the monitor to beep, and Life Savor pokes and hits him with a broom until the heart monitor started up again. Then Gate threw his cards on the table.)
Gate: Aha! Full house, I win!
Life Savor: (Grown) Ugh.
(Back to X and Signas.)
X: Oh joy.
Signas: Never you mind them, we have to get back to work. The sooner we finish, the sooner they can come back.
(The break is over, and they all get back to work. After a couple more hours, it's the afternoon, and they stop.)
Signas: Alright, that's enough for one day. Good work everyone.
X: Do you really think that we should stop so early?
Signas: Why not? We'll be finished by tomorrow. Besides we don't have to worry about getting attacked any time soon.
(Just as everyone gathers all they're things together, Sigma and some of the Mavericks were getting ready for another attack.)
Flame Mammoth: Now why are we attacking them again?
Sigma: Because they haven't finished fixing their base yet.
Vile: Yea, and besides, most of the hunters are still recovering.
Slash Beast: And with Zero out of commission, my brother Neon Tiger will finally be able to focus on fighting X and the hunters, rather than Zero. Right brother?
Neon Tiger: Gr! I'll get them for what they did to Zero.
(Slash Beast whispers to Sigma.)
Slash Beast: Um, he still needs some work. But it's a start.
Sigma: Alright everyone, they won't be expecting this. Get them!
(All the Mavericks dispatched and they all hid around the base. Then on Sigma's command, they got in cite and started to attack.)
X: The siren, what's going on?
Signas: Oh no, we're under attack!
X: You know, I hate to tell you that I told you so. But I will tell you this, I told you so!
(Signas and X run down the hall, where they run into Slash Beast and Neon Tiger.)
X: Oh no, what are you guys doing here. again?!
Slash Beast: My brother would like to have a few words with you.
X: Oh, good, so we're just going to talk.
Neon Tiger: Rah! I'll get you this time X!
X: Boy, what got into him?
Slash Beast: Without Zero around, my brother can show his true power.
(Neon Tiger attacks X.)
X: Wow, I never figured out that Neon Tiger was this powerful!
Slash Beast: And if not for Zero, he would always be like this, and you would know.
Signas: Uh, you seem to be forgetting someone.
Slash Beast: Oh and who's that?
Signas: Me!
(Signas punches Slash Beast, and he let's out a high pitched girly scream.)
Signas: So that's where Neon Tiger gets it.
(As Signas easily beats up Slash Beast, X was having trouble with Neon Tiger.)
X: He's gone crazy. I can't take this lunatic.
(Signas hits Neon Tiger into the wall, and helps X up.)
Signas: Take care of these two, I'm going to help the others.
(Signas runs off, and X faces Slash Beast. As they start to fight, then Neon Tiger wakes up.)
Slash Beast: X you can't beat us. Neon Tiger will be like this forever once I get through you to kill Zero.
Neon Tiger: (Gasp)
(Slash Beast grabs X by his head.)
Slash Beast: And now I'll go after Zero.
Neon Tiger: No!
(Neon Tiger knocks Slash Beast out in one hit. X looks down at him, and then turns to Neon Tiger.)
X: You know, if you like Zero so much, that you'll fight your own comrades, then don't you just join us?
Neon Tiger: I don't know, but I think that Sigma's dog would kill me before I got the chance.
X: It's just as well, because if you joined us then Zero would probably kill himself, and Iris would then kill you.
Neon Tiger: Oh that would be so sweet of her, that way Zero and I would be together, forever!
X: Ok, this is getting weird, so just forget that I ever said anything.
Neon Tiger: No can do X.
X: Oh joy.
(X punches Neon Tiger, and Neon Tiger is knocked out. Since X defeated them both, he runs off to go find Sigma. As he runs down the hall, he stops when he sees Flame Mammoth surrounding Douglas in fire. X shoves Douglas to safety, and stops out the little fireball circle. Flame Mammoth falls to the floor crying.)
X: Well that takes care of that Douglas, I think you can take it from here.
Douglas: Ok thank you X.
(X continues to run until he finds Signas.)
Signas: Good work X, it looks like we got them all.
(All of a sudden Sigma crashes through the roof.)
Signas: Ah, no! We spent all day fixing this room!
Sigma: Don't worry, you have all of the weekend.
X: We worked hard on fixing this room!
Sigma: I am standing right here you know.
X: We were going to bring Zero back!
Sigma: Hello, it's me Sigma?
X: And we have to start all over again!
Sigma: Ok, all this for just the roof.
X: Sigma you'll pay for this!
Sigma: Oh, so now you finally notice me, and no I'm not paying for that roof.
(X finally attacks Sigma, and defeats him easily.)
Signas: Well now it's time to take out the trash.
X: I thought you'd never ask.
???: Wait!
(Slash Beast and Neon Tiger run into the room.)
Signas: X, I thought you took care of those guys?
(Sigma stands up.)
Sigma: Looks like we have you cornered. Get them boys!
(Slash Beast and Neon Tiger charge at them, but X and Signas duck. Slash Beast and Neon Tiger tackle Sigma by mistake and they crash out side through a window, and they fall off into the distance.)
X: Well looks like we saved the world once again.
Signas: No, it was actually Neon Tiger and Slash Beast that stopped Sigma this time. Maybe we should ask them both to join us.
X: Shut up.
(As Signas goes to help the other hunters get rid of the rest of the beaten Mavericks, X goes to the hospital to visit Zero, Gate and Life Savor.)
X: Hey everybody!
Gate: Go fish Life Savor.
Life Savor: Ugh.
X: Uhm, hello.
Gate: Oh, hi X. You kind of disturbed us there.
X: (sarcastic) Oh, and I can see that you're hard at work!
(X goes over to Zero's bed.)
X: How are you doing Zero?
Gate: He's not awake yet.
X: Still?
Life Savor: Don't worry, he'll wake up anytime before nightfall.
X: When he wakes up, then can I take him back to his home with Iris?
Gate: No, because once he wakes up, then we have to examine him.
X: Well can you do it now?
(Just then Zero groans, and X was surprised.)
X: Zero you're awake? Yay!
Zero: Ow, X do you mind keeping it down, my head is killing me?
X: Aw, poor Zero you sound terrible!
Life Savor: Yes he is terrible isn't he?
Zero: Aw, now did you have to go and say that Light Saber? Now I won't give you the antidote.
Life Savor: The antidote to what?
Zero: To the poison to the poison you just drank! Haha, haha, cough, cough.
Gate: Well I can see that he's back to normal.
X: So can I take him?
Zero: I'm not a dog you know.
Life Savor: Go ahead, get him out of here.
Gate: Well, we still have to look at him.
Life Savor: I don't know about you, but I sure don't want to.
X: But it's your job to do so.
Gate: Don't worry X, once the base is finished and we could come back, then I'll look at him. But until then, just keep him in bed. We really shouldn't be letting him go.
X: Thanks Gate, you're a real friend. Zero, thank Gate.
Zero: Thank you marriage man!
Gate: Oh god, just get him out of here X.
(X drags Zero back to the base, and puts him in bed.)
Zero: Good night X, and thanks. You know, when I was asleep in the hospital, I had a dream that we kissed on you birthday party.
X: Oh my god, I had that same dream too!
Zero: Really?
X: No, now go to bed!
(X closes the door to Zero's room. Then he goes to his room to go to bed.)
X: So, he had the same dream that I did. Br, that's creepy.
(X falls asleep. Then it's the next day, and X wakes up and hears Zero running around the base happily. Just then Zero runs into X's room to see if he was awake.)
Zero: I can jump can you jump X?
X: No, I'm still tired.
Zero: Aw, well look who's talking, but now we've got to get you up!
X: Zero what do you want?
Zero: I want you, in the U.S army!
(Zero points to X, like if he was Uncle Sam.)
X: Zero are you drunk?
(Just then Gate walks by the door.)
Gate: No, but I did give him a whole lot of medicine.
X: So is he ok now?
Gate: How would I know? What do I look like to you?
X: A doctor.
Zero: Oh no, where!
(Zero runs out of the room and X notices that for some reason that Zero still had the hospital shirt on and it had no pants. X heard Alia scream.)
Alia: Ah!
Zero: Hi Alia. Hey you better run, there's a mad doctor on the loose!
(Alia went over to X's room where X and Gate were.)
Alia: Gate, did you have to drug Zero up?
Gate: No, but I did.
X: Oh joy.
(Just then Signas comes in.)
Signas: X, did you know that Zero's running around naked in the base?
Alia: But he had the hospital shirt on?
(Signas held up the shirt and Alia slapped herself on the forehead.)
X: Great, now I'm the one to go to the bar.
Signas: Well, I hope you take Zero with you, why'll all the rest of us rebuild the base. We have to finish it as soon as we can, and we don't need Zero running around ruining it.
Gate: As soon as the Maintenance room is finished, then we can keep Zero in there.
X: Why?
Gate: I don't know about you, but I don't want to have that running around.
(Gate points to the drugged up Zero who was talking to the corner.)
X: Come on Zero, once you put you clothes and armor on, then we can go to the bar. And maybe the beer will make you sane again.
Zero: Works for me.
(X and Zero walk down the hall to go to Zero's room.)
Zero: Hey X, have you ever held a conversation with the corner back there?
X: No, why?
Zero: It has the most interesting things to say. But it did have something against beer, so I peed on it to show it whose boss.
X: But Zero, won't Signas make you clean it up?
Zero: Since I'm all hopped up, he got someone to do it for me.
(It turned out to be Life Savor, who was cleaning it while growling angrily. When Zero got dressed, X took him to the bar. While Zero got drunk at the bar, X remembered that today, was the day that their dog Rush was able to come back to the base from the vet. After he picked Rush up, Zero was sane again from the beer that got rid of all of the medicine. The three decided to go back to the base, even though X, had to drag the drunken Zero by his ponytail.)
X: Hey what're you doing here?
Zero: Hurry X, Sigma's up to his usual stuff again.
X: At this time of night, he'd better be up to something.
Zero: Come on let's go.
(X runs after Zero, but suddenly stops.)
