S.V - Ep.17: Dreams of Elysium

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

INT. MHHQ BUNKER – Underground Shelter – DAY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alia and Signas stand by the main monitor, anxiously and curiously waiting for an update. All they can do for now is view the impact sight of the Colony from the map until X turns on his coms.

ALIA: It’s been almost an hour since X broke contact and there’s still no signal from his coms. I’m really worried about him.

SIGNAS: Zero’s coms are off too, and the amount of Zero Space in the area has significantly diminished. Keep the faith… X is our only hope.

She winces and gasps at her monitor.

ALIA: I'm getting a stronger energy reaction from point 11F5646! The energy is too strong to get an accurate data sample. I must be reading Sigma... I can't think of anyone but him! Sigma is behind all of this...

Signas calmly nods at the update.

SIGNAS: Very well. It seems that X has overcome his ordeal. But now he must face the real enemy…

Alia looks at her monitor with a fixed gaze.

ALIA: X… I won't intervene in your fight anymore... I leave everything in your hands...

INT. FALLEN COLONY – Sigma’s Lair – DAY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A damaged X and a broken Zero lie comatose in their Host Pods. The wall behind them is lit up with giant black and green schematics of X and Zero’s internal body structures. The back wall displays that of a giant Computer Chip – the power source of the entire Colony.

Sigma looks at them and grins as he summons two Virus Spectres from his hands. They float over to X and Zero’s host pods.

SIGMA: Hee hee hee hee… Alright, boys. It’s time for the healing to begin.

A virus spectre seeps right into Zero’s pores, which jolts his body and makes him gasp for air. The tired Zero, turns his head and winces in pain as he continues to sleep.

SIGMA: (grinning) Good… Now, for you.

He watches the other virus spectre enter X’s pores, until it is suddenly zapped away.

SIGMA: What!? …How…?

A thin barrier of light blue power protects X’s body while he rests, unaware of the danger around him.

Sigma tries again with a more forceful throw of his virus ghost, but it too gets disintegrated upon touching X’s barrier.

SIGMA: Urgh.. That’s not.. fair… I have you!! This was supposed to be it!! ..H-how!???

Sigma loses his composure, as it seems that his plan is falling apart.

He looks up at the blue reploid with disdain.

SIGMA: How do I make you iX…?

With that, X’s eyes open. He wakes up, perplexed by his new surroundings as his vision is still quite blurry.

X: (weak, soft) e-eh… Where.. am I???

SIGMA: Hee hee hee hee. Impressive... The number one Reploid, you are... You came to, much earlier than I expected.

He looks around as his vision becomes clearer and notices that Zero is in his old Host Pod. He is in one as well. He shakes his head, growing more awake and upset by the second.

X: …Why? Why did you do this?!

SIGMA: Because of Zero... I wanted to awaken him from his false self.

X: What?!

SIGMA: I've conducted thorough research, and produced a tremendous result. I wanted to find out what Zero truly is... and scatter the Virus all over the Earth to purify his body... But the amount of the virus was insufficient. So I used the rundown colony...... making it a virus colony and let it land on the Earth. You know the outcome of that, don't you?

X: You almost annihilated the Earth for that?! You're sick!

SIGMA: Fortunately there are those handy guys called Maverick Hunters, ever ready and able to come to the rescue, and I knew the Earth would be safe and sound. But alas, most of the Hunters have also become Mavericks... Hee hee hee hee. Oops. That was a close one...ha ha ha ha!

X scowls and furrows his brow. He steps out of his pod panting, exhausted.

X: (enraged) You...! How many Hunters have died because of you...?! I'll never forgive you for this! You're going to pay for what you've done!

X runs after Sigma in his Base Form only to get blasted by a shocking orb from his hand.

SIGMA: Sit down.

Sigma pulls off his top armor and throws it away. The purple shoulder pads and winged cape fall to the side of Zero’s pod as Sigma reveals his new chiseled frame.

SIGMA: I’m not done with you yet, boy…

X: What were you trying to do with me!?

SIGMA: Bring that wonderful iX out of your DNA!!

X: What!?

SIGMA: That was the next part of the plan – you, Zero and I, all working together again for one cause! To benefit all Maverick-Kind. If only I could turn you…

X’s eyes widen, as he struggles to get up.

X: Y..you’re crazy!!! A world of full of Mavericks would never work!! Everything would fall into Chaos.

SIGMA: Hee hee hee… Ahhh, yes. There it is! You’re still too stubborn to listen to reason… That’s why this could never work. You’ve ruined everything! You’re Useless to me!!!

X puts his guard up and smirks.

X: I’d rather be useless to you than used by you... I’m sorry, but iX is long gone!

An irate Sigma dashes toward X.

SIGMA: Huuuuurrrgh!

X runs out of the way and charges up as Sigma smashes against the wall and kick-jumps off of it. He lands near X, who jumps away and shoots an X-Buster at him.

Sigma takes the blast and puffs out his chest.

SIGMA: Come Oooon!!!!!

X: (v.o, thinking) He took out my chip enhancements… Gotta play this, smart.

Sigma dashes toward X, who suddenly powers up into his Gaea Armor in a flash of light. The light blinds Sigma for a second and stops him mid-dash.

X retaliates with a short Gaea dash of his own, followed up with a quick charged Gaea shot.

SIGMA: (hurt) Ouuugh!!!!

Sigma falls to the ground, holding his chest. He grins as he gets up.

SIGMA: I must say, you have certainly become a lot stronger since our last encounter. It’s a pity we don’t see eye to eye.

He phase-teleports to the shutter by X’s pod and summons a massive power wave from the ground. It crawls after X, who dashes away and clings to a nearby wall.

X charges up again and dash-kicks off of the wall, toward Sigma. He strikes with another close Gaea Shot at Sigma.

Sigma is struck by the blast, but teleports behind him. He chops X in the back of the neck, forcing him down on his knees. Then, he kicks him in the rear, forcing him down to the ground.

X: (hurt) Aggh….

SIGMA: Hahahahaha! How humiliating. Your new power is impressive, but it’s still not enough to defeat me.

X narrows his eyes, grits his teeth and with all his might he gets back up.

When he turns around, Sigma can see that X is weak at the knees, struggling to stand.

SIGMA: Just look at you! You can barely stand…

X: Don’t… Count me out… yet… S-s.. Sigma…

X puts up his dukes as Sigma shrugs his shoulders.

SIGMA: (amused) Very well…

He takes simple shock shots at X, which X stubbornly dashes around or powers through while firing level-2 shots at him.

When X draws closer, he fires a charged Gaea shot again, only to get grabbed by the collar. Sigma pulls him in close.

SIGMA: You’re too predictable…! Now you’re mine!!

X: Predict this…

At close range, X performs his Giga Attack, the Ultimate Gaea shot. He pulls in his hands to perform a Hadouken, but spreads them apart once he pushes out a large green orb of power. The blast engulfs Sigma’s torso and pushes him back, against the far wall with scuffs all across his chest.

Completely spent, X collapses to the ground and powers down into his Base Armor.

Sigma pants and laughs at X, who just wasted his trump card.

SIGMA: Aaaahahahahah… I know.. you can do better than that… Hee hee hee…

He coughs up a little blood as he watches X slowly place a Sub-tank into his chest.

In an instant, X gets up, rejuvenated and points his buster at him.

X: I will!

Frustrated, Sigma gets back up, but X gets three Charge Shots in, which cause Sigma to stumble with a clumsy set of attacks.

SIGMA: DAMN YOU!!!!!

He throws giant blue waves of power at X as he levitates, once again.

X dashes around and away, using the wall to help him bounce over one. Then Sigma uses a split blast, to crawl along the floor and the ceiling.

X transforms into his Force Armor and uses an air-dash to narrowly dodge the large attacks, which cause sparks to fly around the room. The attacks destroy X’s host pod, which bashes into Zero’s host pod.

X: Calm down, Sigma! You’re going to kill us all!!

SIGMA: That’s kind of the point!

He shoots rapid-fire shock blasts at X, who carefully dodges them and fires level 1 and 2 shots in between attacks.

Sigma stops his attack, which allows X to fully charge up and fire a Plasma Shot.

The blast hits Sigma, who dashes directly into X.

X quickly air-dashes to the wall, but Sigma chases him.

SIGMA: Oh no ya don’t.

He catches up to X and shoves his face into the wall.

X: Aghh.

Sigma grabs X by the back of the neck and throws him down to the floor.

X: Ackk..

X tries to dash upon hitting the floor.

Sigma dashes right after him again and doesn’t allow him to get up.

SIGMA: You /stupid, /little, /insignificant, /fool.

Sigma /continues to /fire /shock /blasts at X every time he tries to get up.

X: HHHRRAAAGGHHH!!!!!

X uses a Nova Strike, which tackles Sigma directly, in the stomach.

X is back up on his feet, but again his stamina is down. He pants, exhausted while Sigma falls to his knees, in pain.

X switches to C-Shot as his armor shifts into brown and orange. He shoots a lot of scattered crescents at Sigma, but they all bounce off of his armor, completely ineffective.

SIGMA: Hah…

X narrows his eyes and switches to Tri-Thunder; his armor turning black and yellow. He shoots a Tri-Thunder beam, which catches him in the chest and overtakes his body in a corrosive shock.

SIGMA: AAAGGHHH!!!!

X: (smirking) Gotcha…

Sigma tries to power through the pain and get up, but X fires five more Tri-Thunders, rapidly. They each knock Sigma back, so he summons three Virus Spectres to protect him as a defensive shield.

SIGMA: Huurgh.. Damn you…

He teleports behind him in mid-air, while X charges up.

Sigma tries to summon a huge wave attack against X, but X lets out a Super Charged Tri-Thunder Beam, which strikes through his chest directly.

X: I don’t think so!!!!!

SIGMA: Guuuuaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Explosions erupt from his body and Sigma's first form is destroyed in a flash of light. Upon his destruction, the power to his lair goes out, but X knows this all too well. This is not the end. It is merely, his last attempt at striking fear into X before their final battle.

SIGMA: Hee hee hee. The number one Hunter, you are, X...

X: ...

SIGMA: The stronger you are, the more I want to destroy you... It was pointless to have Zero fight you, after all you ARE the number one Hunter. You show no mercy for your enemies or your comrades.

X: (annoyed) Shut up! Where are you?!

The lights in the room slowly fade back on as Sigma reappears in a massive battle body; larger than he’s ever been before. He was more gigantic than the Battle Body Doppler created, and twice as large as the Sigma Bodies he faced in Repliforce’s Final Weapon Space Station. With a massive head taking up most of the room, a large, unfinished bust of blue shoulder pads and a hint of yellow arms and pectorals can be seen until his frame blends into the floor.

Their Host pods have been completely crushed by this point, and their schematics have been shut off. The room is now a grim, black and gray as Sigma glares at X in his Giant Battle Body.

SIGMA: (taunting, boasting) Here I am… Please. Challenge me at anytime...

X twitches as he looks up at him in disgust and takes a deep breath.

SIGMA: The truth is, lately I've had an excellent partner.... who’s provided me support in many ways. In the past, it seems he's created countless robots... And he's bestowed upon me the strongest body ever seen... Of course, you had to wake up a little earlier than expected, so it isn't quite complete... but, it should be enough. He's been such a devoted partner, nay, a comrade in my battle against you... His persistence has been very helpful to me.... like an obsession, he has been devoted indeed... Hee Hee Hee… You see X, there is someone other than me… who hates you. Now, get ready to feel our combined hatred and Die, X!

Suddenly, two large fists with spiked knuckles threaten to crush X.

X quickly jumps as high as he can and air-dashes towards the fist on his left.

Using it as a platform, X aims at Sigma’s face and blasts him right in the gem with a Plasma Shot.

SIGMA: Agh!

His whole body flashes white from the shot, while the rocket-powered fist throws X to the wall. X jumps off and uses his thrusters to hold him back from crashing into the wall. Meanwhile, the other fist tries to punch him, raising itself to his position.

X: Ahh!

He drops down to the fist when his thrusters need to recharge, then he fires a Tri-Thunder at Sigma’s head. It has no effect, and instead ricochets off of his head with a pathetic pinging sound.

SIGMA: Hahahah. Nope…

Sigma’s giant body, becomes grid-like, which X has seen before. The fists cease their attack and Sigma’s immobile body reemerges with a glowing head gem.

SIGMA: Your turn!!!

He shoots four electric orbs down at X, who dodges them all, but they remain grounded. X attempts to shoot him with an F-Laser as his armor shifts into orange and blue, but the guided laser missile splashes off of Sigma’s face, not affecting him at all. Then, the grounded electric orbs all ram into X at once, causing him to fall down.

SIGMA: HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

X: (muttering, hurt) Damn it… Aiming Laser, help me out here…

He uses his Internal Tracer, while he has his Force Armor handy and tries to analyze Sigma’s weakness.

[RADAR]: This Form is only susceptible to X-Buster, Spike Ball and Nova Strike.

X gasps.

X: (v.o, thinking) Nova Strike! …Damn it… That move kills my stamina. I don’t think I have the endurance to… transform…

X gets up, panting and crouched down, lost in his thoughts as he tries to gather his energy.

SIGMA: Aw, X… Is the weight bearing down on you? It’s okay. I understand…

X: Hm?

He looks up at Sigma’s massive form, irritated.

SIGMA: We all have to Die Sometime!!

X grits his teeth and charges up as his armor shifts into green and beige.

X: Shut up!!!

He shoots a Super Spike Ball, which bounces around the room and eventually catches Sigma in the forehead.

SIGMA: Aghhahaha!!

He brings the fists back into the room, and opens up their palms. Both fists shoot purple charge shots from their palms at X, who immediately jumps and air dashes toward Sigma’s neckline.

SIGMA: I’m going to eat you!!!!

X: No!

Sigma tries to move his neck and bite X, but he dash-jumps over to his shoulder.

X: Take this!!!

From a closer angle, X shoots 5 Spike Balls one after another, as swiftly as possible.

SIGMA: Ghaaagh, Blast you…!!!!

He summons a fist to knock X off of his shoulder, then he summons more electric orbs while he retreats into a grid pattern.

X quickly rolls over and dashes out of the way of the orbs. Anticipating their next attack, he kick-jumps up the walls, while a fist shoots a Charge Shot at him.

X: Aaaahhhh!!!!!!

X air-dashes out of the way of the charge shot, while the electric orbs fly after him, one by one. X misses the first one and is able to dodge the second one when he lands, but the other two catch him at his ribs.

X: Nooo!!!!

Hurt, he favors both of his sides and stumbles.

SIGMA: Hahahahaha!!!!! What’s wrong X? Do you feel the end coming???

X scrunches his face.

X: Never!!!!

He charges up and shoots Plasma Shots out of frustration.

SIGMA: Aagghhh, out of options, huh???

X uses a fist to kick-jump up the wall and fires another Charge Shot, quickly followed up by an air-dash with a Spike Ball, directly against his gem.

X: No… just improvising.

SIGMA: Ogh..

Sigma’s gem emits purple sparks upon getting hit. X can tell that he is doing some form of damage.

X: (v.o, thinking) This better not be like last time… Where he unleashes even more of the Virus after exploding.

Sigma raises a hand, which shoots down electrical currents around X.

SIGMA: DIE!!!!

X dashes away, but Sigma’s hand simply follows his every move, until X is cornered at the wall and there’s nowhere else to go.

X: DAMN IT, SIIGMAAAA!!!!!

X kick-jumps up the wall and takes the hits as his back gets scorched by the electrical currents.

SIGMA: Haa haa haaaaa!!!!! I’m gonna tear you to pieces, then rebuild you as a Slave!!!!

X: (enraged) HUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

X smashes into Sigma’s face with a Nova Strike. The whole room shakes as they collide. When X moves past him to the other wall, the Giga Attack fades and he is prominently draped in black and silver.

SIGMA: NNNNNNOOOOOO, Damn Yoooouuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!

Sigma forms blocks of the Virus all across the room.

Ultimate X swiftly drops to the floor, dashes across the room and instinctively kick-jumps up the next wall, as the blocks keep forming.

SIGMA: How did you get all that Energy Baaaaack!!!!!!!

X: I just hate you enough. That’s all…

X rams into him with another Nova Strike. At the next wall, he sees an opening and uses another Nova Strike smashing against him at the other side.

SIGMA: OUUUURGGHHHH. KKHHAAAAWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Just above the shutter, X slides down, sweating and panting, still in his Ultimate Form.

X: Even if it kills me… I’m gonna make sure that this ends, Here and NOW!!!!!

SIGMA: YOU BASTARD!!!!! NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Sigma desperately fills the room with more Virus Blocks at X’s position, but he Nova Strikes against Sigma’s head three more times, diagonally in an ‘X’ pattern and with a final one directly from below.

When the Nova Strike fades, X hovers in mid-air with his thrusters. He looks at Sigma’s cracked face. He barely resembles himself anymore.

Out of nowhere, he is struck by a Charge Shot from below.

Surprised, X looks down to see a remorseful Zero, who is only a torso with one arm, and a buster formed in his right hand.

SIGMA: AAAGHH. Noo, Zero!!!!! You were supposed to follow me!!!

ZERO: Heh.. Not, this time… Some things.. go beyond our programming…

Zero winces in pain and smiles at X.

X nods down at him and looks back at Sigma.

X: It’s over, Sigma…

X clenches a blue fist as his eyes glow green. With one final push, X forms a fiery, golden aura around his body and thrusts toward sigma with a fist out as his Nova Strike breaks Sigma’s gem and melts off his face entirely.

SIGMA: Gwaaaaaaaa!

X’s thrusters give out and he falls to the ground. Upon landing, he powers down into his base form as he looks up at Sigma’s horrific Skull. A swarm of explosions emit across his face, neck and body. His gigantic armored plating falls apart and parts of his skeleton can be seen as the explosions grow more and more.

SIGMA: Damn... But I'll never...die alone! I'll take...Zero...down with me!

X: No! Stop using Zero as a shield!

SIGMA: The three of us can die together!!!

ZERO: No.. Leave X out of this!

SIGMA: Gha ha ha ha ha...! Isn't it painful to have to watch while others suffer? You can put up with your own pain......but can't bear to see each other harmed, especially Zero, right X…?

X: (weak, exhausted) Kk.. DAMN YOU, SIGMA!!!!!

SIGMA: (dying, taunting) I'm taking Zero, the one most important to you... to the underworld! Goodbye, X... Gha ha ha ha!

X and Zero widen their eyes as the whole room erupts into an explosion.

The blast knocks both of them away from each other.

After a few quiet moments, X stirs and crawls back up to his feet.

X: ………………Zero?

X barely walks over to his broken body.

X: Zerooo! Zerooo!

He collapses on top of him and holds his torso close to his chest. Zero’s body is limp.

X: Zero! Zero! NO! Don’t die…again!

Tears start to form. He shakes his head.

X: Do you hear me? Zeroo! Zeroo!

His voice starts to change as he cannot contain the pain. X lightly sobs, as he rests his forehead against Zero’s.

-pan slowly to the right, behind X-

We see a husk of Sigma’s skull on the ground, with a short mound of wires from his neck, barely holding him up. His left eye slowly activates, and he manages to open his mouth.

SIGMA: .........Dro… Drop Dead…!

A power ball forms from his mouth.

Caught off guard and still holding Zero close, X is startled.

X: ………Uh? O-oh, NO!

In the next second, X is blasted from behind while holding onto Zero. The beam penetrates through X’s back and Zero’s chest. X slowly lets go of Zero as he takes the blast.

X: …Gu, ghaaa…

Zero’s eyes open with a livid glare as he pulls up his buster and smirks.

ZERO: …How persistent… …you are… …Die… …Sigma…

Zero narrows his focus and unleashes the last of his power into his Z-Buster.

A large, white-spiraled blast emits from his cannon and enters into Sigma’s mouth.

Sigma’s remnants instantly explode, as Zero lands on the ground, glad that it’s over.

He weakly smiles and calls out to his partner.

ZERO: …X, X… …Do… you… hear… me?

There is no response.

ZERO: Damn… Your… optimism led… …to your own… …demise… … You… should… li… li… live.

He closes his eyes and recalls the first time he fought Sigma in that abandoned warehouse.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) ………. …Hah! Die, Sigma! ………Hmm? It’s strange… I’ve defeated the Sigma Virus. Why did I fight against him again?

Static overrides his once-clear memories.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) Aghk.. I…I feel…pain…

Static and white noise cover up his memory of their battle.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) Oh, I see… My energy is running out… and my memory device is… malfunctioning… So this is it… I’m finally… going to die…

The static of his hazy memory shifts into an old vision of his creator. The old doctor is draped in silhouette with a prominent display of the World Map which lights the dark room in hues of blue.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) …Who is this…? Even now, I have no recollection… What did I tell, X…???

He frowns, recalling the pain he’s inflicted on X.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) I’ve had a recurring nightmare…

Static shifts his memory to his old nightmare. He can see the exoskeleton of himself as a work in progress. Most of his frame is wires and gears, where the only finished part of his body is his left boot.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) …This time… It’s my figure that appears…

He thinks about it; the old doctor and his former frame.

ZERO: (v.o, thinking) I see… I finally got the meaning of the dream…

Static hazes his memory a little.

ZERO: …What? …What are you making? It’s… the one that destroys Reploids… …I… understand… …everything now…

The white noise in his mind turns to red and smoothens out into an image of a beloved figure.

ZERO: …I…Iris… …I’m sorry…

A rose-tinted ghost of Iris simply smiles at him from a pink sunset sky. Everything turns to red as he tries to open his eyes again.

Zero is back in the crumpling lair. The ceiling opens up as Zero can see the sky, far above them.

ZERO: …I’m sorry, X… But… I think… …I have to die… to restore the peace… in this World… But now… Everything… will come to an end… …Good bye… X…

He closes his eyes and exhales his last breath.

The room continues to crumple on top of X, Zero and Sigma’s remains until the whole place turns to dust.

EXT. ANTARCTICA – Barren Wasteland - DAY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Fade in-

A light blue aura mysteriously hovers just outside of the destroyed colony and drops a torso of X on the ground. With a hole blasted through his chest and torn arm ligiments, he is near-dead.

X: ………

The protective aura forms into a blue ghost of Dr. Light. He stands over X with a clenched fist.

DR. LIGHT: ……… …Not yet… Actually, I want you to rest and relax, for now… Hold on, X… …Just for a few more moments. …Forget all the painful memories…

Dr. Light powers up his entire body and surrounds the whole area in a brilliant blue light.

Caption: 1 week from then…

A fully healed X stands tall as he directs two of his new Maverick Hunters, Hanse and Hal, at their build site. Hanse is hoisting a beam over his left shoulder and holding a generator in his other hand. Hal is holding an additional generator as he follows X’s orders. They are rebuilding the infrastructure of their Headquarters with the hope that no one will attack them any time soon.

HANSE: …Captain X… …Don’t you remember anything about what happened?

X: … You’re still on about that? The answer is No. I don’t remember how I got back…

HAL: …You see? I told you to leave it alone.

He slaps Hanse on the shoulder.

HAL: (explaining) Captain Zero and Captain X were both special A Level Hunters for all to see. You worked together and solved a lot of problems, but this last mission... was complicated…

X: I remember that last battle with Sigma… I don’t remember how we got there.. But that fight doesn’t leave me. …I don’t have any memory of fighting Zero, though. Maybe whoever repaired me deleted the data by mistake.

HAL: Did… did he really delete your memory?

HANSE: Hey, stop it now. We’d better think it’s a miracle that Captain X came back safely.

-cut to-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- INT. MHHQ BUNKER – Underground Shelter – DAY --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Signas, Alia and Douglas carefully watch X, Hanse and Hal on the monitor.

SIGNAS: It truly is a miracle… Not only did he come back… but without so much as even a scratch!

ALIA: Not a physical one, anyway…

SIGNAS: Hm?

DOUGLAS: (perturbed) It’s hard to repair the bodies of X and Zero because they’re still a mystery…

ALIA: (frowning) It’s not a miracle, I bet…

SIGNAS: You never believe it’s a “miracle”…

ALIA: I’m not interested in miracles… I don’t think Reploids should dream of miracles, either…

DOUGLAS: But… why was only Zero’s fight data deleted from X?

SIGNAS: I have no idea… Maybe it disappeared by itself? Otherwise, it was deleted on purpose…

ALIA: Well, there’s a protection, now. He won’t even accept data related to the Colony… As far as he knows, Zero flew into the Colony and then they both fought Sigma together…

SIGNAS: Maybe it’s best that way…

ALIA: I couldn’t program such a protection… Nor would I! …We’ve got another mystery about X… and his Creator…

They all look at each other with pensive faces of indifference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXT. HEXAGON BAY – Damaged MHHQ - DAY --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two Hunters put together the beam generator as X moves other equipment to a new pile for building.

HANSE: Captain X. Although it will take time, I think this battle will lead to Peace.

X: It will. We need to work harder for that… For Peace…

The three continue to build another beam, together.

HAL: Hey, Captain X, what is your ideal dream?

X: Huh…?

HAL: Ya know.. What’s your end-goal? If you don’t mind me asking…

They finish setting up the beam as X puts some materials down.

X: I’ve never thought about it… Well…

He strokes his chin and looks up to the sky. Once he comes up with an idea, his eyes brighten.

X: I’ve got it! I want to create “Elysium”.

HANSE & HAL: Elysium…?

X: Yes! It’s a paradise where the human race will coexist with Reploids… Peacefully…

They both widen their eyes at X’s steadfast gaze.

X: Yes… that is my dream… I’d like to create “Elysium”… Someday in the near future… when we reshape this World.

HAL: I wish Captain Zero were here…

X pauses with sharp eyes and simply smirks.

X: Heh… Ya know what? He already is. Right here.

He puts his hand on his chest and pats it twice.

As X walks away, Hal leans in to Hanse and whispers into his ear.

HAL: (aside) That last battle knocked a few screws loose, if you ask me…

X: What’s that?

HAL: No, nothing…

Hanse gives him a disapproving look.

X: (passionate) “Elysium”… Oh, yes… I’ll do it. Someday…

INT. MHHQ – Control Room – DAY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caption: 2 weeks later…

In their newly refurbished Control Room, a siren blares calling the Maverick Hunters into action.

X stands before 3 more of his new Maverick Hunters – Iso, Cody and Tekk.

ALIA: A large Maverick has broken out in HORIE 2146 block! Go into action immediately! Data and Batsu are in trouble…

X: (ready) Let’s go! Now!! Get a move on…

His Maverick Hunters salute him.

HUNTERS: Yes sir!

X: We’ve rested long enough…

Without waiting for them, X runs out of the room, eager to handle their next challenge.

-cut to-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXT. MHHQ – Hexagon Bay – DAY --------------------------------------------------------------------------

X runs into action with a determined glare in his eyes and smirks as he tightly grips the handle of a familiar saber.

ISO: (o.s, narrating) Since he came back, Captain X’s eyes have changed… …and sharpened…

X: (v.o, thinking) I can face any enemy now… I will feel this way… as long as I have this Saber… I’ll do it today, Zero… with you!

He runs on and takes a test slash of the mighty Z-Saber.

X: (v.o, thinking) We’ll be together, forever… Zero…

Amidst the sunset sky, a silhouette of Zero’s ghost can be seen standing with his back to X and his long blonde hair waving in the wind. With a slightly turned head, Zero smiles at X. And X knowingly smiles back at him.
