Intro
- I see. So you went to an underground graveyard and picked up another interdimensional traveler.
- N-Nice to meet you...
- Along with our android friend from the future who I've heard so much about.
- My name is KOS-MOS.
- Well, aren't you the sweetest thing! Can I disassemble you? Please?
- No.
- And then you all casually tore my heart out by telling me you found someone else. Merchant-wise.
- Thank you for your business!
- Now now. Doctor, you know some of us don't do the commitment thing.
- We don't have time to waste.
- Quite so! This space is extremely unstable.
- I like it here myself, but I'd prefer not to disappear along with it.
- So, Doctor... How's the Dragonturtle looking?
- Her transformation circuits are kind of, uh, shot. But them's the breaks. It WAS the maiden flight, after all.
- What? There weren't any test flights? Are you trying to kill us?!
- She may not have to bother. We can't fly out of here.
- Guess that leaves us one choice.
- Yes. As Hiryu said, sending the vehicle and us together into cyberspace is now our best chance.
- Is your teleporter big enough to handle this huge car, Sylphie?
- That shouldn't be a problem. Now, ordinarily there would be a steep fee for its use...
- But I've calculated that doing you all a favor now may pat dividends for me in the future.
- That's, um, perhaps more candid than I'd like.
- As long as she gets us out of here. What do we do once we get into cyberspace?
- Same thing we did last time: connect to an online game from our time.
- Online game?
- He means "The World", Phoenix. It's a popular game people play with others through the internet.
- You can enter game worlds? I'd love to visit Fantasy Zone in real life...
- You talkin' about arcade games? Those are just computer chips, son. They ain't real.
- I've done a preliminary scan, but it looks like there's instability in cyberspace as well.
- You mean there's some kind of crisis there, too?
- So I think the best thing to do would be to ask about securing a Maverick Hunter escort.
- Maverick Hunter? Who's he, a bodyguard?
- The Maverick Hunters were a big help the last time this happened. They're good fighters, and trustworthy.
- Good idea. Can you contact them for us, Sylphie?
- I'd be glad to!
- Really? Just like that? What's the catch?
- Let me guess. No catch. She's got Maverick Hunter equipment in stock and smells sweet, sweet cash.
- The headiest of perfumes.
- I'm starting to think I could learn a lot from this woman.
(Sylphie takes them to cyberspace)
- Here you go, Shinra and friends! Welcome to cyberspace!
- Cyberspace, huh? Ones and zeroes, as far as the eye can see...
- I-Is this data? Are WE data?
- Ugh, I think I'm gonna hurl. I want my reality back.
- Don't worry, dear. You get used to it surprisingly fast.
- Hm? Hey, where's the Dragonturtle?
- Looks like we're the only ones here. I'm not seeing the car anywhere, Sylphie.
- It looks like its coordinates might have slipped a bit... Perhaps it was too big after all.
- Wasn't Dr. Urashima inside it? Is she okay?
(Xiaomu's phone rings)
- Oh, hey. That's my phone.
- Sup! It's Wilma! Wilma Bracomoff! How's it going?
Urashima (On the phone)
- ...What are you, twelve? Ugh, never mind. Where are you?
- We made it into cyberspace. Are you nearby, Doctor?
- I'm in some kind of outer-space-type area. I can see a digital floor with gold rings on it.
- Okay, it sounds like you're close. Can you come to where we are?
- Nope. I'd need to be touching the ground for that.
- Huh? What do you mean? Are you floating?
- Yup. Miss Shot-into-space, that's me. Who handled the teleport controls, anyway?
- That was me! Hello!
- You could at least TRY to act ashamed...
- Is there anything we can do, Doctor?
- If I could use Dragoon form, I imagine I'd be in better shape. Maneuverability-wise.
- Flight mode, huh? I take it you can't do that now?
- Still out of order. You'll have to come find me yourselves. Over and out.
(Dr. Urashima hangs up)
- I guess we'll just have to go through these rings in front of us.
- I'm picking up some noise in the data. Something's teleporting this way.
- What is it? Someone after us?
- I contacted the Maverick Hunters earlier. Perhaps it's them.
(Five Bugborn Alphas appear)
- What are those things? They look like chess pawns.
- Those are Maverick Hunters? I guess there's no reason they'd have to be humanoid.
- Whoa! Real-life cyber-people!
- I'm pretty sure that's not them. Are they hostile? Can you tell, KOS-MOS?
- ...
- They appear to be a collection of meaningless data fragments. But something about this is abnormal.
- My whole freakin' day's been abnormal, lady. You wanna be a bit more specific?
- This is only conjecture, but the data in the fragments appears to be highly obsolete. It doesn't match any current format.
- Old data... Could these things have come from the past?
- It's possible. We shouldn't stay here long.
- Gotta go fast, in other words. All right, let's hurry up and find Doctor Urashima.
- Um, if no one minds me asking... What are those yellow orbs floating around us?
- Those are Miru Toraeru, or "See-Catch" traps. They keep the system free of computer viruses.
- I'd stay away from them if I were you.
- Yikes! Why didn't you say so before?!
- Our Doctor's bound to touch one sooner or later. We'd better find her quickly.
- Stand back, Sylphie!
- Yes, ma'am. I'll find a place of safety where my weakness won't be a liability to you folks.
- Hm? Sylphie, I could've sworn I saw you hold your own in battle once...
- I'm sorry, sir, I have no idea to what you could possibly be referring. Take care.
(Sylphie leaves)
- Hmph, let's go. I'm tired of waiting.
- Touching the gold ring over there will allow us to move to the next area.
- Those yellow orbs... See-Catch traps, was it? Try to avoid coming into contact with those.
After getting through the first ring
(The Shtrom family appear)
- So these are the ones behind that huge increase of abnormal data. Where'd they come from?!
- Calm down, Junior.
- If they're in the way, all we need to do is take care of them.
- Are THOSE the Maverick Hunters? Their costumes are, uh, unique.
- Humans? No, wait, they're demons!
- No, these aren't the ones we're waiting for. You! Who are you?
- You... What are you all doing here?!
- Did you find out about our plans?
- Plans? What the hell are you talking about? Who are you?
- Don't play dumb! I know... You're after the virus too, aren't you!
- Virus?! I don't know who you are, but you've got our attention now.
- Great, they had to go and say the V-word.
- You guys are, like, virus otaku or something.
- We... We just see them a lot, OK?
- However, we are currently in cyberspace. They may be referring to a computer virus.
- So wait, did they really just wander in here?
- Maybe we should let 'em go...
- You serious?!
- ...
- Former flunkies of the arch-criminal Scumocide, huh? I didn't think there were any of you left.
- Strider Hiryu!
- "Scumocide"? Was he a fourth-grader?
- You laugh, but Scumocide's criminal empire was vast and vicious.
- His brutal regime terrorized the galaxy... Until at last he was toppled.
- By whom?
- It's not my story to tell.
(Captain Commando appears)
- Indeed not. It is mine.
- OK. THIS has to be our Maverick Hunter, right?
- Well, well... It's you.
- Sorry, well-dressed young man, I'm afraid I'm no Maverick Hunter. Though I do know them.
- No, I am... Captain Commando!
- Captain Commando! What are you doing here?!
- Wherever evil goes, the Commando Team will follow! Or at least me.
- I must say... I didn't think the Shtrom family was still walking this earth.
- Shtrom, Shtrom Jr., and Druk. What trouble are you boys causing this time? What's this about a virus?
- ...
- You really think we'll just tell you?
- I always hated this guy!
- Captain? Like on a ship? Is he a pirate?!
- That's Captain Commando, the opposite of a pirate. He's like a police officer... in space.
- He's the leader of a team that helped us out once when Ouma was up to no good.
- Captain, good to see you again.
- Hm? Ah, yes, the Japanese agents I met on Earth.
- Everyone, I trust your hearts burn with the love for justice?
- I-Is he OK?
- Sure. Justice. Whatever.
- ...
- ...
- Heh-heh, world peace is one of my favorite things.
- I like it when dipsticks mess with the yakuza and I get to their ass. 'Zat count?
- Justice? You really wish to discuss justice with the ruler of demons?
- You know, added up, we're not the most noble bunch, are we...
- Captain Commando! You tryin' to interfere with us again, you butthead?
- Yeah! Butthead!
- But I see you're all alone. Not a single one of your fellow commandos around to aid you!
- We've got a lot on our plates.
- We've been investigating these mysterious gold chains that have sprung around the world.
- Gold chains... What a surprise. So they're even in future worlds now.
- You know of the chains?
- I've seen them too... But it was in this world's distant past.
- So our arch-criminals may not even be responsible for them?
- I had heard rumor of suspicious goings-on in cyberspace...
- But it seems there are even deeper things afoot.
- Once we get out of this little pickle, I'd be obliged if you lovers of justice filled me in.
- Gahh, this jerk!
- Calm down, Junior. Don't forget our objective.
- We need to take these chumps out and collect those "fragments". That's our top priority.
(Two Wookys, two Eddies and two Carols appear in front of the Shtroms)
- We've got priorities, too. Once we get past the next ring, we're moving on.
- You may not have anything to do with the golden chains, but that doesn't mean I'll let you get away with evil.
- No matter what it is you arch-criminals may be plotting!
After defeating Shtrom Jr.
- You've won this time... But next time you won't be so lucky, Captain Commando!
- I see your combat banter is as brilliant as ever, Shtrom Jr.
- Shut up, butthead!
(Shtrom Jr. leaves)
- Still, he's nothing if not tenacious. I'm afraid we've let someone dangerous slip away.
After defeating Shtrom
- Not often we have Daddy Shtrom and Junior Shtrom working together. What are you looking for?
- ...How much do you know, Captain Commando?
- Not much. But I know I can't let you get away with it.
- We won't let you interfere. None shall stand in the way of our arch-criminal paradise.
- What?!
(Shtrom leaves)
- An arch-criminal paradise... Not on my watch, Shtrom!
After defeating Druk
- Blast! I didn't know anyone beside the Commando Team could be this strong!
- Too bad for you, Druk.
- Still, to think the Shtroms' right-hand-man himself is involved in this, too... What are you up to?
- Something that needs to be done. Keep your dumb nose out of it!
(Druk leaves)
- My dumb nose can't do that. Not when it comes to arch-criminals and enemies of justice.
After getting through the second ring
- Hey, isn't that...
- The Dragonturtle Mk. I. so that's what happened to it.
- Oh, huh. Yeah, you'd need to birdify it to get out of that one.
- Xiaomu, can you reach the Doctor?
- Nope. No reception. We're cyber-hosed.
- So we gotta get to her face-to-face, huh? Hey, someone gonna tell me just what the hell these round things are?
(Five Mettaur C-15s, two Gunbolts and Solo appear)
- Hmph, just what we need. More trouble.
- ...
- I won't let you go any further.
- A robot? KOS-MOS, Fiora, do you know anything about this?
- Huh? Why me?
- I do. Solo the assassin. A killer hired by Grandmaster Meio.
- Grandmaster?
- The man who ruled everything from the shadows... History, the world. Until the Strider killed him.
- ...
- Solo, whose employ are you in this time? I see you're working with Sigma's followers.
- ...
- Tong Pooh is dead. I don't know what you're up to, but it'll come to naught.
- I don't talk with Striders. I kill them.
- So we've seen remnants from the armies of Scumocide, Grandmaster Meio, and now Sigma?
- Sigma? Who's that?
- No one here ever explains a damn thing. HEY! ANYONE OUT THERE WHO'S ACTUALLY FREAKIN' USEFUL?
(X and Zero warp in)
- Uh-oh... The battle's already started!
- So this explains the influx of abnormal data in cyberspace...
- Whoa, it--it worked! Who are they? Still not the Maverick Hunters, I assume.
- Guess again. I present to you the Maverick Hunters X and Zero.
- When we got the call from Mira--I mean Sylphie, I thought it might be you guys... Guess I was right.
- Not to mention Captain Commando and Strider, too. What's going on?
- Wow! The Maverick Hunters, at long last!
- I wasn't sure what to expect, but they're... They're ADORABLE.
- ...We may look like kids, lady, but we're not.
- Let it go, Zero.
- Sorry we're late. Can someone tell us what's going on?
- There's criminals running around who used to work for, uh, Scumocide, Grandmaster, and now... Sigma, was it?
- Sigma?!
Vile(In the distance)
- Yes, Zero. Sigma.
- Hello there, X.
- What?
- That voice... Show yourself!
(Vile MK-II and three green Ride Armors warp in)
- Hee hee hee, You're trapped, X.
- Who is that? He kind of looks like X and Zero.
- No! It can't be!
- It definitely looks like him, though...
- Hmm, how odd. If it looks like me... Perhaps it's because it IS me.
- Yes. I have returned. I stand before you again.
- No... Vile?! You're alive?!
- Vile... Why?! Our battle is long over!
- Far from it. Or so the demon inside tells me.
- What?!
- Who is that? Not a Maverick Hunter, I hope?
- He used to be... We fought and killed him in an old battle.
- If you killed him... What's he doing here?
- Metal Face was supposed to be dead, too. I'm, uh, sensing a theme.
- So this isn't the first incident of this kind, huh. It seems I cannot overlook this situation any longer.
- Captain Commando and Strider Hiryu... Not to mention a few other annoyances. Well, no matter.
- X! Let's make this fun. Don't die on me too quickly!
- The chance to change the world has finally arrived. This is merely the beginning!
- What are you up to, Vile?
- Scumocide's lackeys were scheming something here too. They may be after the same thing.
- Understood. Then we'd best capture Vile and interrogate him.
- I'm sorry about this, people from the past.
- We came here to protect you, and now we've gotten you involved in this mess.
- Don't worry about it. This has been happening a lot lately.
- Yeah. Pretty much par for the course.
- We ain't plannin' to give up here.
- We appreciate the concern, but we'd better just get started. We can't keep the Doctor waiting.
- There are more of you? Come to think of it, Sylphie did say something about a big car.
- That must be the red trailer behind Vile. We have to help them.
- So, there's still something going on in the past.
- Fascinating... Fascinating, X. The "demon" that nests inside me is... Delighted.
- What about you?
- There's nothing like that in me!
- You want to be a demon? Then go back to hell, Vile!
- Let's go, everyone. Give the Maverick Hunters some backup!
- Wait a minute. What are those purple balls? Are they dangerous like the yellow ones?
- Protectons. They pose no danger in and of themselves.
- But if we're to move ahead, we'll need to use them to open the path.
- Use them? How?
- See that yellow switch?
- Press that, and the gravity here will become disrupted, moving them for us.
- Which means we'll need to break the crystals in the way, them.
- Hm? What happens if the Protectamatrons smoosh us? Bad things?
- Just try not to get smooshed.
- So they ARE dangerous!
- Maybe so, but we still need to keep going. Make sure not to stand in the path of the spheres or crystals.
After defeating Solo
- Damage rate has exceeded regulated levels... Commencing retreat.
- Solo, I saw Tong Pooh in another world.
- ...
- She was with robots from the Fourth Empire... The one that fell to the Star Gladiators.
- What are you up to?
- We still don't know where Tong Pooh is. I haven't been told anything else.
- Her wounds were fatal. She won't survive.
- ...
(Solo leaves)
- (I'm sure Solo and Tong Pooh are connected somehow. What could they be plotting?)
After defeating Vile
- This body isn't functioning at full capacity. Looks like I need to make some more adjustments.
- Well, no matter. We've only just begun, X.
- Vile, I'll stop you as many times as it takes. No matter what it may cost me.
- Heh heh heh... I'd expect nothing less from you, X. Otherwise I'd have come all the way back for nothing.
(Vile MK-2 leaves)
- Vile... If he's involved with this... There's more here than meets the eye.
- You're right. I think we'd better go with them.
Outro
(Xiaomu's phone rings)
- Hey, isn't that...
- Oh, that's my phone. Hello! Spatula City, we sell spatulas, and that's all!
Urashima (On the phone)
- Oh good, I finally got through. This is Urashima.
- How's the Dragonturtle doing, Doctor?
- We're almost back in business, transformation-circuits-wise. Can I come down?
- Things are mostly under control here, but hold off anyway. We'll secure the area.
- Got it. Works for me.
(Urashima hangs up and Xiaomu's phone rings again)
- Again? Did she forget something?
- Hello! Welcome to Cheetahburger, home of the Action Fifty-Tuna Melt!
Sylphie (On the phone)
- Hi! This is Sylphie's shop, home of Sylphie!
- Since it looks like you're all done there now, how about taking a breather with a little shopping?
- She doesn't miss a trick, does she.
- The Doctor's not going to like this. We'd better wrap it up before the Dragonturtle gets here.
