Yeah, chapter 2! Oh yeah, I forgot this last chapter. Zero, Rush, X, and all related characters belong to Capcom. Dr. Sai and the story idea are mine! Okay, done talking.

Regular POV

X and Axl just stood there, watching as Rush began freaking out. He flailed around, he howled, he freaked.

"X, what's wrong with the dog?" Axl asked. He hadn't been freaking out like this when they had found him.

"Probably still shocked from the electric volt," X replied. "I just hope Zero doesn't freak like this."

"He won't X, he's Zero!" Axl exclaimed. The only other people in the room were the mechanics fixing the machine. There was also a black and magenta reploid name Dr. Sai, the doctor that had been doing the check-up.

"This does seem odd, though," muttered the doctor. "If it had been from shock, he would have been acting this way as soon as he woke up. And the way he's moving his limbs makes it look like he's trying to move like a humanoid reploid."

"Maybe he think's he's one?" Axl asked.

"Possibly," Dr. Sai replied. "Then again, there is the matter of how Zero will respond once he awakens. Which, I believe, should be any minute now." At that precise moment, Zero emitted a groan.

"Zero?" X leaned over his friend. "Zero, are you okay?" Everyone in the room stared expectantly at Zero, especially the dog.

"Megaman?" Zero muttered. X looked at him. Zero had always called him X. That was his name. Zero opened his eyes, looking at X.

"Zero?" X looked at him. Oddly, Zero smiled.

"Megaman!" At this point, Zero pounced on Megaman, happily licking his face. Everyone else stared in horror.

"Oh my god, Zero's flipped!" Axl cried, trying to cover his eyes. The dog stared at the two, as if it was a horror movie. Dr. Sai was speechless, and the mechanic reploids were once again fixing the machine.

"Zero, what's wrong with you?" X asked, trying to push the reploid off of him. "Zero, cut it out!"

"Hi Megaman!" Zero said once he stopped licking X. "What happened?"

"You just started licking me!" X said in suprise.

"So?" Zero cocked his head to one side. "Rush always greets Megaman like that."

"Well, you're not Rush, you're Zero," X replied.

"Who's Zero?" Zero got off of Megaman, but was still on all fours. "Is he a friend?"

"He's YOU!" Axl screamed. Zero stared at Axl, and then at Rush. His eyes widened in horror.

"That's me!" Zero said, pointing at Rush. Rush nodded in reply, barking something no one could understand.

"I see," Dr. Sai sad after a while. "Somehow, when both Zero and Rush were zapped by the machine, they basically switched bodies."

"Switched bodies?" X cried. "We can't have that! Isn't there a way to fix it?"

"Yeah, like, shocking them again?" Axl asked.

"I'm afraid that's not possible," Sai replied. "First of all, the machine is busted, and needs to be replaced. Secondly, we have no evidence that a shock will fix it. For all we know, it could make it worse."

"So they're stuck like this?" X asked.

"Until we can discover a way to fix it, I believe so."

"Well, ain't this great?" Axl asked. "No way we'll be able to hide this! Zero is acting like a complete idiot, and Rush is busy sulking. Now we have to explain a dog and Zero."

"Could be worse," Rush (the one in Zero's body) piped up. "We could be under attack too!"

"At least that's not happening," X muttered. "Come on, let's go back to our room."

"One question," Rush asked. "How do you walk like that?"

"You can't walk on two legs?" Axl asked.

"No," Rush replied. "I could go on four, but not two." Zero barked in agreement.

"This is gonna' be harder than we thouhgt X," Axl muttered. And indeed, it would be.

Hoo boy, this is not good! Okay, for future record, Rush refers to Rush in Zero's body, and Zero refers to Zero in Rush's body. Anyway, please let me know how I'm doing! Be back soon!
