A maverick hunter in a blue suit of armor came in to continue the work.
"You three have enough troubles as it is!" he said.
The Chipmunks watched as the blue clad robot fought off the bad bots one by one.
"See Simon," said Alvin, "someone has faith in us!"
"Get real Alvin," replied Simon, "He doesn't know who we are, and we don't know who he is either!"
"Hurry," shouted the maverick hunter, "we don't have much time until the wave comes!"
The Chipmunks swiftly followed the robot to his airship.
"What is going on?" wondered Theodore.
"Wait a minute," put in Simon, "aren't you that same kid from that first story in which we didn't not appear prominently?"
"You boys must be confusing me for someone else," said the maverick hunter, "my name is Mega Man X, but you can just call me X"
"No way!" replied Alvin, "Then you must be a cartoon star from the distant future!"
"Look guys," said X, "I really hate to break it to you. I am from the future, that's true, but the fact is that I'm not a cartoon actor, because I'm from a different universe!"
Alvin and Theodore had trouble understanding what X was saying. So, the maverick hunter decided to better explain what was going on.
"Somehow," he explained, "some time twisting lunatic managed to get away with this action, and began threatening the innocent, which altered the course of time and space, creating an opening for invaders outside of our worlds to come. Therefore, creating havoc in the process!"
"So you're saying there's no chance for a Buck Rogers animated series?" questioned Alvin.
"Just make yourselves at home, and don't do anything stupid," said X, "I need to make a call to know what our next move is."
Alvin grew more wary by what he had heard.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Theodore?" he asked.
"You mean you still want more answers?" replied Theodore.
"How do we know this is all true?" wondered Alvin.
"Maybe he knows what he's talking about!" said Theodore.
"Perhaps you're right Theodore," replied Alvin, "but I think we must check that box that says Do Not Touch!"
As Alvin and Theodore went to check the box, X was finishing up his virtual meeting with one of the navigators from Hunter Base. He was stunned to discover that the 2 Chipmunks had opened up the box and discovered some sort of cog wheel.
But before X could take the cog away, a mystery beam of "nothing" took X and the Chipmunks to another world.
Meanwhile, at the villains hideout, M. Bison was introducing his latest acquisition, Mickey Mouse's arch nemesis, Peg Leg Pete.
"Isn't he a baddy?" said Bison with high hopes.
"Very impressive," said Klaus, "but is he world domination material?"
Pete was furious. Just the idea of being questioned by his fellow villains made Pete put Klaus in his place.
"WHO'S THE SMARTEST AND THE BADDEST HERE?!" roared Pete.
"You are!" replied Klaus in fear.
Pete stormed off to do his assigned job along with Uncle Harry.
In Cammy's apartment, the young solider put a beat up and worn out Zero on her guest bed. With the help of fellow Delta Red technician, George Ginzu, she was able to repair and take care of the crimson crusader. She tighten his pressure valves to prevent them from leaking and placed a wet towel over his head to cool off. Then she put in a couple of ice cubes, some in the trap door on his chest, a few in the cooler in his left forearm, and a couple in his mouth. Zero could tell he was in a peculiar place as he woke up in recovery.
During a refreshing cup of green tea, Zero noticed a suspicious programing chip on the palm of Cammy's hand. He felt like a fool over the fact that the chip controlled him this whole time which has led him to a series of destructive behaviors that got him into hot water, problems with aggravated violence, being an extremist, abuse towards fellow hunters and the dehumanization he faced as a result of the chip while trying to follow directives. And Zero felt so ashamed of himself, he'd never pull through.
"Oh, you'll pull through," said Cammy, "I did!"
"What do you mean?" asked Zero, couching.
"I was in a pickle myself when I was just a little girl," said Cammy, "Of course, no microchips were ever implanted in me!"
Wow, thought Zero, now that's really tragic.
"I was an orphan," continued Cammy in grief, "actually, I was more of a parentless child forced to work in an environment where you would be dehumanized to the maximum extreme!"
"Sounds terrible!" said Zero.
"Oh believe me, it gets worse!" said Cammy, "If the work wasn't done right, you'd get punished severely! But luckily, unlike the other 129 kids, I was able to escape that dreaded orphanage once I reached the age of 3!"
Gee, thought Zero, You really do understand. The thought that she'd gone through it herself made Zero a bit worthwhile.
A knock was heard from the door as Cammy left Zero to relax and recover.
Pete was outside, dressed as an anime fan, complete with a body pillow of Chun Li by his side. Cammy scratched her head as she questioned his true intentions. However, Yakko and Wakko quickly noticed the peg leg underneath the door and swiftly took action. They dragged the doormat and Pete along with it. The two rascally brothers strapped the brute on to a desk chair with tape. Cammy was furious at the oversized cartoon baddy and demanded some answers.
"Where is Bison?" she asked.
"Bison?" wondered Pete, "Never heard of 'um!"
"Listen, fat buddy," warned Cammy, "I'm not falling for more out-dated cartoon innocence! So tell me, WHERE IN THE NAME OF HEWBERT E. IWERKS IS BISON?!"
"I AIN'T SEEN 'UM!" shouted Pete.
Almost immediately, Yakko and Wakko began torturing Pete in various ways, which included washing his mouth out with soap, kissing his pillow in front of him and even smacking him across his face.
"Where is Bison?" asked Cammy once again.
When Pete tried to come up with another lie, what could come up with was a terrible and very obvious lie.
"Now listen little girl," he said nicely, "you got me wrong! I'm your father, see?"
That's when Yakko stepped in and debunked the 90 year old brute's claim.
"When it comes to 19 year old Cammy White," he explained, "Peg Leg Pete, you. are. NOT. the father!"
"WHY YOU LITTLE, um, WHATEVER YOU ARE!?" shouted Pete, escaping from his chair prison and chasing the 2 looney brothers around the barrack.
In a different universe, X and the Chipmunks crash landed on a vacant lot.
"Great," said Simon," now you've really done it Alvin!"
"Well, where are we now?" asked Theodore.
"Yeah, this doesn't look like any cartoon world I know of!" added Alvin.
The Chipmunks were stunned to learn that they've landed in a world full of Goofys. The Goofys were equally shocked to see invaders that didn't look like them.
"Please tell me those are not cartoons in the future!" wondered Alvin.
"We're in yet another alternate universe," replied X, "Thanks to you two ink brains!"
"But X," said Theodore in regret, "We didn't mean to screw everything up!"
"Yeah," put in Alvin, "we just love beating those fan fiction tropes into the ground."
"Then are you boys ready to start listening to me?" asked X.
"Yes!" said all three of the Chipmunks.
"According to a girl that I know," explained X, "There's a loophole to that cog you guys touched that could bring us back to where we must be!"
"But, how will we get there?" asked Theodore.
"Well, my GPS is busted, and my handheld computer can't pick up any data on this world," said X, "so I guess we'll have to world hop until we can find the right one!"
"Then I'm willing to accept this responsibility, at all cost!" Alvin.
"Then let's go!" said X.
"Ey, am I coming too?" asked Stallone Goofy.
"No," answered X, "you just stay."
X and the Chipmunks swiftly entered the portal, escaping the Goofy-verse.
