Chapter 4: The Results
A gigantic explosion rocked the lab. X and Zero jolted awake. The room was filled with a cloud of black smoke. A soot-covered Gate emerged when the smoke cleared. Piles of ashes now covered the spot the two chairs occupied.
"Well, I think there was a little too much activity… Y'see, this wasn't supposed to activate anything inside, so I have no idea what happened." Gate walked over to the miraculously intact computer. He took a quick look at the replaying images in the center, and then scanned a map with ten shimmering dots. "Apparently, the eight reploids you located were all found and created… along with two unknown robots.
X staggered back in surprise. "I saw two robots! Both were humanoid. One was blue and the other was black."
"Now we just have to find them," said Zero. "Just like always, eh?"
"Yeah, except this time, it isn't search and destroy," X pointed out. "Apparently, Magma Dragoon is the closest." He opened up his buster and inserted a few chips for his weapons. "Let's go!"

Behind Maverick Hunter HQ, two figures stood in the shadows. "Your mission is clear?" asked the first.
"No duh!" affirmed the second, taller one "It's just another battle. Haven't had a challenge for a while!" He flew away.
"He's learned well… Remember, keep control…" The shorter reploid swung his axe and disappeared.
