X ran to the hidout and he slide around the cornner on the losse soil and stoped inches away from the interance.with his X buster raised he slowly intered the small room. he scaned every were and to his surprize no one was in the room but Zero was gone.

"Zero. Zero were are you?" X shouted

X continued in to the room untell he came across Zero in his origanal form laying on the floor. X rushed over to him and looked to see if he was injured.

"X i can bearly stand. im finished. leave me and go to the human colonys and try to get some help. im no good to you or anyone in this condition."Zero said with true conser for X.

"im going to fix you up Zero but i need to deactivate you so the repaires wount attract anyone to our pressentce." X explained.

Zero nodded and opened his chest and let X deactivate him. X stood and carred Zero back to the table were he had left Zero and started to repaire Zero. it took all of about 4 hours but X was finaly about to finish when he heard a voice out side scream for help. X ran to the door opening and saw a few mavericks picking on a small reploid. X was going to just turn around and leave the reploid to the mavericks when he heard the reploid say

"if X was still alive he would deal with you two"

the two mavericks looked at each other and started to laugh. the tall maverick looked at the other one whitch was about Zero's hight and then looked back at the reploid that tryed to fight them. the reploid while they were laughing managed to get a saber out of his back pack and egnight it. he swong it feverishly at the two that just looked at the rploid in disbelife.

"what do you say burner. should we rost this little reploid or just ripe him apart for his insaboardenation?" the tall reploid said

"i dont know CO'2 maybe we should freeze him then shatter his body in to a thousand peacies,or better yet lets what was option 2? oh yah ripe him apart" Burner said as he begain to laught again

the reploid tryed again to strick the two but only managed to scratch CO'2s paint. Birner was already hiting the reploid down and smiled as he did.

Burner spoke again. "by the way you little shit. you said X. right, well X is a peace of scrap metal compaired to me and CO'2. we are DR. Willys strongest warriors. thats why we are incharge here and not anyone eals." they both started to laugh again.

X walked out in to the open and saw that they were the only ones here. at least his radiar still worked, and his and burners and CO's and the reploids were the only signitured readings in this area.

CO'2 raised his hand and knocked the reploid to the ground. the reploid hit the ground hard and saw X standing in the distance.

"Help! Help me!" the reploid said and the two mavericks looked back at X.

"look Burner another reploid that wants to be destroyed." CO'2 said with a laughing tone.

"i do belive your right CO'2" Burner said and his hands went a blaze

"i heard you two morrons talking your Dr. Willy's strongest huh? well then i didnt know Willy was sending scrap metal after inesant reploids, but it makes sence i mean even the weakest in willy's armys can destroy a reploid." X finished.

"Do you belive this little reploid? i think he wants us to play with him first!" CO'2 said and his right arm turned in to a cannon that had a frosty mist spuing out of it.

"Yes CO'2 Lets teach this on first." Burner said as he shot a inferno towards X.

X stood there as th fire hit and soon he was ingolfed in the blaze. the two mavericks begain to laugh.

"now that was too easy." Burner said

as the flames were dieing down the heard a faint humming sound with a digital read out.

""Burner what the hell is that?..." CO'2 asked

"i think our little blue friend is still alive." Burner said.

as the falmes died and the blue figure could be seen again the two mavericks stoped laughing.

"X!" they both said in unisen

X smiled it felt as if it was a century sence he last felt a true smile wash over his face. he hade charged a shot that was now full. he lowered his buster, and walked closer to the two mavericks. X staye d a good ten feet away from the Mavericks and said as they started to ak up slowly.

"this is a new time and age and willy's old trick will not work now. i beg you stop now and i will not kill you two." X said

" your crazy your no match for willy." Burner said

"and its just you now and that losser Zero and as soon as we find him it will just be you. and then what? can you take on the hole willy army by your self? i dont think so X. so just give up the odds are finnaly against you. you have no future as a hunter." CO'2 said weth a smile.

"what make you think im still a hunter?" X said and raised his buster and fired a shot that ripped off CO'2 left arm.

CO'2 fall to the floor in pain. X turned his attention to Burner. he smiled again and charged for another shot. he used his hand and drew Zero's saber. and egnighted it the saber shot out 4 feet and the dark yellow glow of plasma glisened off of X.

"what make you think you have any chance against me now that im a Maverick?" X said with a bigger grine.

X rushed burner but keeped his blaster raised but Zero's saber lowered. Burner watched the saber, he knew the would do the most damage. then he saw why X was coming at him like that and used his inferno blast again. X hit the inferno blast head on and his attack fell short. CO'2 looked up to see a saber about four intches away from his face. he fell back and saw X being pushed back by Burner and he too shot at X with his freeze cannon. X could sometimes fill the difference between the hot and cold blast but for some reason he didnt care. finaly the different combination of the two elements took its tool on X and he fall to one knee. finaly he brung up Zeros saber to help deflect some of the two elemental blasts. X could fill that new power sourging in his body and wish he could unleash it but didn't kn ow how. then he remembered his charged blaster and smiled.

"SO BURNER DO YOU THINK X IS DEAD YET!" CO'2 was yelling over the roar of the fire and ice colliding and hiting X.

"IF NOT THEN HE WILL BE SOO..." Burner said as he was cut off.

CO'2 looked over his shoulder trying to keep his Cannon fixed on X. and to his disbelife Burner was laying on the ground crumpled over and life less.

"what the..." CO'2 looked back at were X was traped under there blast and all he was hiting was the ground he stoped and looked for X. X came up infront of him and CO'2 backed up fast and brung his cannon up but X was too fast and X cut through it with Zero's saber. he sliced through it from the berrol to CO'2 shoulder and then in half the cannon fell to the ground in three different peaces. on peace was still attached to CO'2 at the shoulder. X spun and kneeled down and CO'2 fell to the floor missing his legs from the knee caps down. he layed there in pain and screamed in pain.

"X you cant do this your a Hunter! your a good guy! please X spaire me?" CO"2 pleaded for his life.

X walked over to the fallen Burner and ripped the core from its cheast and downloaded his weapon controle unit. and walked back over to CO'2 you know i can use your parts to kill other reploids. did you know that? willy has this thing were he always makes these mavericks that are elemental bassed and then can be harmed by sertant elements like i take it ice and hurt burner, and Fire" he slowly changed color. X became red and orange. "Fire can hurt ice" and blasted a chrged inferno at CO'2. CO'2 screamed in pain and slowly stared to burn and small exsplosions started to erupt in side his body. as he screamed in pain X walked over and ramed his fist in to CO'2'sCheast and ripped the core out while he was alive. CO'2 screamed in pain and conversed as X downloaded his Ice Cannon. as soon as X was done he slowly walked away and picked up the reploid and slung it over his back and turned his head Back at CO'2, and shot another inferno at him CO'2 screamed again in pain and screamed for X to finish him. yet X just walked away.

X was back in side and was fixing Zero as the reploid woke up slowly.

"hey your alright?" X said with a friendly smile.

"were are the other two?" the reploid said and looked for them.

"there dead and wount be bothereing you anymore." X said as he got a small electrical jolt from his tincering with Zero's power gride.

"Damn i cant get this right." X said and trued again.

"what are you doing?" the reploid asked

"im trying to fix my friend, he got hurt trying to help me out of Giga City." X said as he was shocked once again.

"well sorry to say X.. X is it? your still in Giga City." the reploid said as he stood next to X.

"oh. i thought Zero had managed to get us out. i guess he didn't." X said in a low tone.

"well thats your problem X. yoru trying to place the wire that needs to be grownded to his power core your never going to make it work unless you can bypass his inturnal wireing and then connect it straight to his core." the rploid said.

"what did you just say?" X said puzzled "what is your name by the way?" X continued

"my name is Mac. I was a Reploid repaire man befor this terrable war. here let me please." Mac said as he pushed X out of the way.

"there good as new. now for you." he said as he activated Zero and turned to X.

Zero's cheast closed and energy slowly courced throgh his body and then he was online again. he set up fast and screamed

"WILLY!" Zero shouted.

X placed a hand on him and calmed him.

"Zero its ok Mac her fixed you. and he said he will fix your armor as soon as we can get the right parts for it. Zero what happened to you?" X said

"there was a creature, it looked like me in my absoulute armor but it was stronger faster and more powerful. but it was clumy and off ballanced and thats were i got the uper hand. i was able to get you and me to safty after i knocked it out. X i can see you have two new powers how long have i been out?" Zero asked

"only a day." X said

"so what did you fight two weak little mavericks to get your new powers." Zero said in a jokeing voice.

"yah thats it i fight two weaker Mavericks and well they wount bother us any more." X said with a smile.

Zero lowered his head and smiled.

"So whats the plain now? oh fearless leader and by the way can you give me back my Saber you pick pocket." again Zero smiled and he couldent remember when the last time him and X just joked about a fight.

"i think we should head to willys castle and storm it but nore me or you are ready for that we dont have the armor nore the weaponry for that kind of assult." X said

"i have a idea."Mac said

they looked at each other then to mac and listened.

"befor i was a repaire perloid i worked in the millitary as a top weapons designer.i can build you two a very special weapon. X i can customize your buster to do a hell of a lot more damage and Zero i can make you a blade that can cut throw the srongest titanium. but i need to get to the millitary bass in the floting Island. if you two can get me there your weapons will be trn times as strong as they are now. what do you say about that?" Mac said soundind pleased by his input.

"what do we have to lose i mean weapons ten times stronger is better and its not like we have a hole hell of a lot to do i mean we dont have to report to Riddips." Zero said with a laugh.

X smiled"yah lets do it i mean ive been waiting for a bout a decade to get this buster tuned up." X said.

"But befor you go any were X lay down so i can repaire you correctly." Mac said.

"see i save him and this is how he wants to repay me by fixing me and ordering me about i think we have found a new cornal Reddips." X said smiling as he laied down on the make shift table and was deactivated. the world slowly became dark again and X felt the familire rush of freedom wash over himself.
