Rockman XZ: Time Rift

Unexpected Damage Control

First Person, X:

After Ferham sacrified herself for destroy the Supra Core... we waited until the falling ended...

This could be ended different...

But we can't change what was done already...

Sometimes, i question myself... when this endless circle of wars will end?

Returning to the present:

Axl: What a day, isn't it?

Zero: We did it at least, but leave the Core to Ferham was dangerous...

Axl: She redeemed herself with that, red head, no?

Seeing the explosion in the sky...

X: A sacrifice that could be avoided, guys...

Axl: You're taking this too personal...

Zero: Was her decision, not yours, X... you did what was at your reaching.

X: Yeah... well... it's time to return to the HQ... the others are waiting.

X goes away, leaving Zero and Axl alone...

Axl: Man... i can see X a bit... tired...

Zero: I don't blame him... he lost too much now, only for the peace... like me...

Axl: He's tired of being a Hunter?

Zero: No, Axl... he's tired for have the weight of the world on his hands... multiple times.

Axl: ...

Zero: You will understand soon, Axl...

Axl: Okay, okay...

Communicating with them:

Layer: Some intruders were detected inside and around the HQ.

Pallette: The lectures are the same as Zero... but duplicated in 4...

Alia: Guys, check the perimeter... they'll need to be interrogated, but pacifically...

Zero, Axl and X: Alright, we're going!

Arriving to the zone:

X: Prepare ourselves, buddies... we don't know if this menace is equal or compared to Zero itself.

Axl: Chill up, boss... we know that even with Zero's DNA, they can't won... right, Zero?

Zero: Right, Axl... i'll be strangely... but not impossible to stop them...

X: The lectures are closer... be cautious...

Pulls out his Buster...

X: Whoever you are, going out... if you surrender we won't hurt you...

Zero: Yeah... come out, you heared X.

Axl: Guys... look there, at the corner...

Close to them, two reploids can be seen:

RiCO: Ow ow ow ow ow! My head! That hurts!

The three Maverick Hunters looks confused. They were expecting a menace, not someone trapped in their own base.

Zero: What the...

Axl: Yo! Wait... i'll help you...

X: Smirking...

It wasn't a dream after all. It was too real...
