The Maverick Hunters arrived back at Dr. Green's underground
 
lab as fast as they could to get repairs and upgrades to prepare for
 
the final battle. Is Zero gonna make it Doc asked X. yea, he'll live.
 
It would have been better if you could have gotten him here
 
sooner, but I guess you couldn't with all the chaos going around
 
replied Dr. Green. So, what do we do now? If we show our faces,
 
we'll be hunted criminals said Amber sadly. I know it looks bleak,
 
but I think we can restore order. I think its time we went all out,
 
hold nothing back replied Dr. Green. What do you mean asked
 
Laser Alloy. I've noticed that the JQuada virus has made the
 
Mavericks very strong. And according to your data analysis, X's
 
blaster cannon is very ineffective against them. Only a full charged
 
blast could really do some damage, which is not much help. X, I
 
think I need to upgrade you to Alloy's power because we're
 
dealing with a very dangerous foe said Dr. Green. Can you do that
 
to outdated Reploids asked X. yes, I can, no reploid is too hard to
 
upgrade using my advanced technology replied Dr. Green. Thanks
 
Doc, but first I think you need to repair Zero and Axl to full power
 
before we attempt it said X. yes, of course, I'll be sure to do that.
 
Oh X, I think you should bring the whole squad here, it's not safe
 
for the Maverick Hunters anywhere else now ordered Dr. Green.
 
Got it, I better bring Alia and Douglas here, they're lives are in
 
danger said X running. He turned on his radio, Alia, this is X, do
 
you read? A lot of static came, but Alia answered, X, are you ok? Its
 
been ages since I've heard from you. What's happening? We fought
 
Sama and won, but he escaped and released a nuke that we
 
couldn't stop in time. Then Zero was gravely injured in the fight
 
and we managed to get back before he died. That's great, any word
 
on Axl? Yea, we found him, he was reprogrammed by Sama, but we
 
defeated him and took him to Dr. Green to be fixed. How did you
 
survive the nuke? We found an underground shelter within an hr
 
of the blast in town. It still got rocked really good, but we escaped
 
injury. Glad to hear it Alia, but you need to come to Dr. Green's
 
underground lab. The president has just outlawed the Maverick
 
Hunters. I know X, I can't believe him! He totally sold us out! Don't
 
worry Alia, we'll get him eventually, by the way, are those armors
 
done? Yes, Douglas just finished them within minutes of the blast
 
and hid them underground with us to keep them from being
 
vaporized. Good, can you guys come here without being detected?
 
Don't worry bout that, we have ways to get out of the city; we
 
should be there within an hr. good, I'll see you then, Dr. Green is
 
gonna help us defeat Sama once and for all. Sounds good to me, see
 
you then. 10-4! X returned to the operating room where Dr. Green
 
was operating on Zero. How's it coming Doc? Zero is gonna be
 
fine, his injuries weren't too life threatening. I'll be done with him
 
in about an hr. that's good, my comrades are on the way, they
 
should be here about the same time. Good, well X, try not to worry,
 
just relax. When I'm done with all of you, you'll be able to give
 
Sama a really big headache. Sounds good to me Doc, I'll be ready
 
when you're done with Zero and Axl. X then walked around the lab
 
collecting his thoughts. You ok asked Laser Alloy. Yea, I guess, its
 
just, I don't know, I've never seen such chaos and opposition like
 
this. How are we gonna stop Sama now that our own country is
 
fighting against us? I know things look bleak X, but we must stay
 
strong. We cannot let evil overwhelm us, we must destroy all traces
 
of it because even a small part of it can influence society. You're
 
right Alloy; I just hope Dr. Green's upgrades will give us the
 
firepower we need to put Sama's evil reign of terror out of
 
commission. Don't worry, Dr. Green is a genius. He made me into a
 
true warrior and he will do the same for you X. thanks, that lifts my
 
spirits Alloy. When our whole team gets here, we can really begin
 
to bring peace and harmony back to our land. 40 minutes later, Alia
 
and the rest of the team arrived. Alia! Douglas! You made it said X
 
happily. Yea, we had to use stealth to keep from being discovered.
 
X, its awful! One fourth of the country is in ruins! Sama has to be
 
stopped said Alia with her head buried in her hands. Don't worry
 
guys, we'll get Sama soon. He will pay with his very life for all the
 
pain and misery he brought upon the innocent citizens replied X.
 
ah, there you are. Well, I see your team has arrived. X, Alloy, Alia
 
and Douglas, you'll be pleased to know that I have repaired Zero
 
and Axl to full power said Dr. Green. Oh thank you so much Doc,
 
said Alia hugging him tightly, I was so worried he would die. No
 
no, there was no need to worry. Zero's wound was life threatening,
 
but not to the point of immediate attention. But it would have
 
helped I do admit, but I guess no need to worry now. He's as good
 
as new replied Dr. Green. Zero and Axl then walked in the door
 
where a group hug was administered. Thank goodness you're all
 
right Zero, and glad to have you back to normal Axl. We were
 
worried about what happened to you said Alia. Well, last thing I
 
remember was a doctor shutting down my program and I went out
 
replied Axl. It was one of Sama's henchmen shouted Zero; I swear
 
he'll pay for this! Settle down Zero, I think its time we upgrade you
 
both so you can fight as strong as my own creation can, what do
 
you say Zero asked Dr. Green. Well, all right, I guess. But you sure
 
you know what you're doing Doc? Trust me Zero; I've been
 
practicing this type of work for over 10 years. Zero sighed, ok, I
 
trust you, and I'll do whatever it takes to get me to the point where
 
I'll take Sama's life and of his comrades. Zero walked over to the
 
operating table and laid on it. Now, you should know your outer
 
appearance will largely be the same, but I will have to do major
 
work on your inner parts said Dr. Green. Whatever doc, just do
 
what gotta do replied Zero. Dr. Green then shut down Zero and
 
began to upgrade his internal system. Douglas, you assist me in
 
this great project said Dr. Green. No problem Doc. The two went to
 
work. So Doc, how long you think this'll take asked X. well, this is
 
a very complex and thorough process, so it'll take 18-36 hrs,
 
depending on how the system responds replied Dr. Green. Sizzling
 
circuits! How long can you go in one sitting Doc? Well, I can do 4-5
 
hrs in one stretch, but the point is, we need to do a complete job,
 
not a fast job. So, don't worry X, I'm gonna take all the time I need
 
to give you and Zero the maximum power you need to destroy
 
Sama and his evil regime. Ok Doc, so can I help you in anyway?
 
Well, I would love you to help X, but you're not programmed to fix
 
or upgrade reploids. I hope you understand. Yea, that's ok Doc, I'll
 
just keep an eye onthe news and stuff. C'mon X, let's do some
 
target practice while we're waiting said Laser Alloy. I guess so. As
 
X and Laser Alloy did some target practice, Alia and Amber got to
 
know each other better. So, you're Alloy's partner eh? Yep, we fight
 
together and keep peace for the country. I must say, I never met a
 
female reploid warrior before. What kind of weapons you got on
 
you Amber? Well, my main weapon is a laser whip, but I have
 
other useful weapons, like a stun blaster, magnet bombs and
 
electromagnetic energy. Alloy and I complete each other in combat.
 
I can stun some enemies while he finishes em off. Pretty
 
impressive huh Alia? Yea, that's very good Amber. We're gonna
 
make a great team. Meanwhile, Dr. Green and Douglas finally
 
finished 25 hrs later. There, it's done, now to turn him on said Dr.
 
Green. Zero was activated. He felt himself to see if there was any
 
difference. So how do you feel Zero asked Dr. Green. Wow, I feel…
 
stronger. You're a genius Doc. So what all did you upgrade me to
 
do? Your attack power and defenses have been increased 10 fold.
 
Wow, that's something, so what else. I upgraded your Z-buster to
 
blast your enemies with much more power, and to top it off, I
 
increased the cutting strength and length of your saber. Thanks
 
Doc, you're a true genius. Glad to do it Zero, now X, its your turn.
 
Douglas, is the Ultimate Armor ready asked Dr. Green. Yep, its
 
ready to go replied Douglas. Ok X, step onto the operating table
 
said Dr. Green. Well, ok, I just hope this works said X. trust me, I'm
 
a master of this practice. X laid on the table, Dr. Green then shut
 
him down and began to work on him. Ok Douglas, this is gonna be
 
a lil more tricky, we're gonna have to put his new upgrades in the
 
ultimate armor and then put his main computer and circuits in
 
them. Don't worry Doc, I'll assist you anyway I can. Meanwhile,
 
Sama called the president. What is it Sama? I'm gonna be sending 3
 
nukes to top secret locations, I want you to broadcast where they're
 
going and let the Hunters try to deactivate them, but when they
 
show up, send armed forces with my squad to surround em. Then
 
destroy them on sight! You got it, but wait, will they explode Sama?
 
Yea, they will, but only if the Hunters get in the way. You got it Mr.
 
President? Yea, I got it Sama. I'll make sure the Hunters are taken
 
out. You better, if you want to save your neck after promising no
 
more nukes. That's a pretty tall order since I will nuke the country
 
if you don't follow my orders. Sama, you have my word, the
 
Hunter's days are numbered. They better be short numbered if you
 
get my drift said Sama hanging up. Back at the underground lab, it
 
took Dr. Green 3 days to turn X into a super advanced reploid due
 
to the Ultimate Armor's complex structure. X, wake up, the
 
procedure is finished said Dr. Green. Wow, I feel…. really different
 
replied X. Do you feel stronger asked Douglas? Yea, I do, what all
 
did you do Doc? As with Zero, your attack and defense has been
 
increased dramatically. You can now charge your X-buster to
 
another level, releasing a huge blast. Also, I have given you a saber
 
like Zero's so you can fight long and close ranged enemies, and to
 
top it off, your giga strike is now 10X stronger than before. It can
 
cut through enemies with ease replied Dr. Green. Wow, Doc, I
 
don't know what to say, thanks. What about Axl? Well, I could
 
upgrade him too, if you want. What do you say? Well, I guess so.
 
But I really don't need any, I mean, I can change my shape
 
structure and got pretty strong weapons. Well, I can if you… Dr.
 
Green was interrupted by the news. Breaking news as reports of a
 
nuke being hidden somewhere in California near the capital.
 
According to our insider information, the location of the nuke is
 
unknown, but that its set to go off in less than 3 days if not found.
 
All units are pressed into service to stop the nuke before it
 
explodes. In other news… Dr. Green turned the TV off. Sizzling
 
circuits! Sama is at it again, but what can we do? If we show our
 
faces, they'll terminate us on site said X. but if Sama isn't bluffing,
 
many people will die due to his sadistic plans. We'll have to find
 
the nuke, but we'll do it discreetly said Laser Alloy. I have a bad
 
feeling about this, what if this is a set up asked X. hmm, it could
 
possibly be, but we can't just let innocent people become more
 
victims to Sama's group. Even if they have turned against us, we
 
must protect the innocent. Eventually, the people will welcome us
 
back with open arms once we shut down Sama's operation replied
 
Laser Alloy. Well, since this could be very dangerous, let's go
 
heavily armed. If we're gonna get set up, then we'll make em regret
 
it big time said Zero. Sounds good to me, ok team, bring every
 
weapon you can with you; Operation Destroy Nuke is under way
 
said Laser Alloy. The Hunters boarded a Super Stealth Jet designed
 
by Dr. Green. This will prevent us from being spotted in the air.
 
And we'll stay in stealth until we finish the job said Laser Alloy.
 
4 hrs later, they arrived at an abandoned air strip. Ok team, follow
 
me, this device can detect nuclear weapons within 5 miles. 30 min
 
later within walking, the device beeped like crazy. This way, the
 
readings say west within 2 miles. Finally, they came to a
 
warehouse. There it is team; it's in the loading dock. The Hunters
 
opened the door in stealth mode and found the nuke with a clock
 
attached to it, set to go off in 1 hr. X deactivated it with ease. Well
 
team, we did it, let's take the nuke back with us so Sama can't use it
 
again said Laser Alloy. Just then, a energy field entered the
 
warehouse, causing the stealth mode to deactivate. What the? Oh
 
no! they found us said X angrily. Well well, nice job deactivating
 
the nuke, too bad you fell for our little trap Hunters. Now we're
 
gonna destroy you permanently said Sama laughing evilly.
 
 
Things look grim for X and the rest of the Hunters as Sama has them cornered. Can the Hunters win the battle without getting terminated? Find out in Chapter 10.
