11. Feline Reploids
A mystery emailer asks why there is a lack of feline Reploids.
Transcript
Zero (rapping): Revolutions all the time, people changing the world with crime, with violence and anger, {as he clicks the email icon} emails, whatever...
Dear Zero, I have noticed a distinct lack of feline reploids out there in this wild world. I've looked in the archives, and the only few distinct ones I remember seeing are Wild Jango, Slash Beast and... hold on... Neon Tiger! Do you think there should be more of them, or is the current amount enough? Signed, <strike>I'm too shy to tell you</strike> It's a Secret to Everyone! P.S. And Flame Hyenard. P.P.S. Try checking some old archives for 'Stardroids'. You'll see my favorite archaic robot master in there somewhere.
Zero: Oh, a mystery emailer. Well... (as he types} I've seen those 'Stardroids' in the newest robot museum, mystery emailer. They were quite a sight.
{clears screen, then continues to type}
Zero (as he types): As for the lack of feline Reploids, it's because Sigma recently had an allergy to robo-felines. That may have been why he talked funny--
{shows final boss scene in Mega Man X4}
Zero voiceover: --in the battle in the Final Weapon.
Sigma: Tremble in terror! You are finished!
Zero: Uh, you should really do something about that cold.
Sigma: It's not a cold, dang it! It's an allergy to feline Reploids.
{Back to Zero's email}
Zero (as he types): That may be why we didn't see any felines till the incident with Epsilon. Flame Hyenard? Yeah, he was annoying, wasn't he? I can still hear his yell "Burn to the Ground" even to this day. Thankfully, Iris helps me get over that. Well, thanks for the email. And I have a feeling I may face another feline opponent again someday.
Easter Eggs
- Click "It's a Secret to Everyone" to see the scene from Legend of Zelda (NES) where Link gets Rupees from a Moblin saying said phrase.
- Click "Burn to the Ground" to see a 32-bit style (a la Mega Man 8 or Mega Man X4) Flame Hyenard leap in and yell "Burn to the ground!" as he throws a fireball to the screen.
- Click "another feline opponent" to see Zero (Mega Man Zero version) fighting Panter Flauclaus.
- Zero: I knew I'd face a feline again someday!
- Flauclaus: Just shut up and fight!
Trivia
- In the introduction, Zero quotes Guru Ant's rap from Parappa 2.
- Both Zero and the secret emailer wonder about the lack of feline Reploids (good or bad).
10. A.C.'s Curiosity
A.C. returns once again, and delves into Zero's personal life.
Transcript
Zero (rapping): Time to check my email, yes indeed that's for sure, {as he clicks the email icon} my virus scanner remains very secure...
Dear Zero, Its nice to speak to you again how long have you been going out?Alot has changed,do you and the gang ever get bored or are the mavricks still go at it taking over the city,the world,ect and do you and Iris ever thought of having kids? P.S.:See if Iris is ticklish,you might like it go for the toes and then her stomach works every time....... The A.C.
{says "out a lot" very quickly, says "ect" as it is spelled}
Zero (as he types): Er, as much as I appreciate your emails, A.C., I think you're starting to get really into private stuff. I mean, it's not yet certain if Reploids are capable of reproducing similar to humans.
{presses enter for a fresh screen, continues to speak as he types}
Zero: Also, let's not rush things... I mean, it's great Nathan brought back Iris and all, and we are lovers, but let's not rush into marriage and family life, okay?
{presses enter, types anew}
Zero (as he types): As for the Mavericks, eh, X is trying to find a way to cure the problem--
{scene of X wiring some board together}
Zero (voiceover): But since the new "turn Maverick at will", he's been needing help from Nathan in that department as well.
{Nathan approaches X}
Nathan: Hi, X... needing help?
X: Er, yes. Got that special microchip? I may need it as a model for this project.
{Back to Zero, typing anew.}
Zero (as he types): As for ticklish... er, I guess since Reploids, X, and I have some emotions, I guess a ticklish sense isn't that Farfetch'd. I'll go and check. {Zero gets up and leaves}
Easter Eggs
- Click "Farfetch'd" to see a graphic of the Pokemon, Farfetch'd.
- Click "I'll go and check" to see a scene of Zero tickling Iris' tummy.
- Iris: Tee hee! Stop, Zero! I surrender! {continues to giggle as Zero speaks}
- Zero: Well, A.C. was curious about this, so I'm doing some research for him.
Trivia
- Nathan (from Mega Man X: The Golden Child) appears in this email.
- Once again, Zero quotes from Parappa the Rapper. This particular line is a play on the first verse of Stage 2 (Romantic Karate) in Parappa the Rapper 2.
- This is the first email from A.C. since "A.C. vs. the Fallen", and A.C.'s fifth email to Zero overall.
9. Sigma the Mutant
Does Zero know something about Sigma's recent form?
Transcript
Zero (rapping): Extra Extra read all about it! {as he enters his email} The best emails in town from all around!
Dear Zero, I noticed in X8, Sigma no longer looks like a bald guy with scars on his eyes. Has he undergone some kind of mutation? ---That Turtle guy
Zero (as he types): Well, turtle guy, he's not really a mutant. The scars on his face were from when X got really ticked off!
{shows brief screenshot of X putting his fingers in Sigma's eyes}
Zero (voiceover): Apparently, Sigma made the big no-no of launching missiles at an unprepared metropolis. Luckily, Dr. Cain at the time survived, but that meant little to X, since several thousand humans were killed in that.
{back to Zero's room}
Zero (as he types): In some of his "reincarnations", Sigma liked the scarred eye look, so he put purple eyeshadow on them.
{shows screen of X and Zero laughing, and Sigma (in his first form in Mega Man X3) getting irate}
Zero (voiceover): But the idea of Sigma wearing makeup was way too silly, and we usually had a good laugh before handing him his butt!
{back to Zero's room}
Zero (as he types): Because of that, in the final battle we had with him, he decided to not have the scarred look on his eyes anymore. So, I hope that answers your questions. Keep sending those emails, fans.
Easter Eggs
- Click on "the scarred look on his eyes anymore" to see Zero painting red on the tip of his ponytail, as Iris watches.
- Iris: Zero, are you sure you think this is a good idea?
- Zero: If it worked for Sigma's eyes, it might work better for me.
Trivia
- Once again, Zero does Parappa references. This one is from Beard Burger Master, the first stage of Parappa the Rapper 2.
- "That turtle guy" is Mekkai
8. Rock Soldiers
Zero gets asked about soldiers made of stone.
Transcript
Zero: (singing) Whatcha gonna do, when the emails come? (clicks inbox; raps) I gotta believe!
Dear Zero, Is it true that the Mavericks have "Rock Soldiers? signed, Chryseis.
{after saying "Rock Soldiers", he says, "forgot an end quote" and pronounces the sender's name as KREE-sighs. He presses enter and starts typing.}
Zero (as he types): Ah yes, those. Well, I haven't seen them personally, but I think X saw some when he went to take on Sting Chameleon. There was also a rumor that they were located within the mine Armored Armadillo once holed up in.
{presses enter and continues typing}
Zero (as he types): I mean, some mechaniloids have the ability to take up the environment as their weapon. I remember the Ice de Voux and Iwan de Voux that X and I had to face during the Doppler Incident.
{cuts to a scene of X fighting an Ice de Voux}
Zero (voice-over): You would think something made of ice would be fragile, but X knew otherwise. I mean, since his battle with Chill Penguin ages ago, he knew not to take ice lightly.
{cuts to a scene of Zero fighting an Iwan de Voux}
Zero (voice-over): And those rocky robots were good practice for my sword, but the sandy smaller debris can really do a number on the joints of my armor.
{back to Zero typing on the computer}
Zero (as he types): I took me hours to get the sand and stuff out of my armor plating. And another hour or so to repaint over the scratches. It probably won't be the last time I would have to face something rocky or sandy. At any rate, Colonel invited me to a snowball fight outside. And Iris helped me build a snow fort. So... off to it now.
Easter Eggs
- Click on "or sandy" to see Zero (his Mega Man Zero self) fighting Anubis Necromancess III.
- Zero: I hope Ciel's got some of that new paint ready.
- Click on "snowball fight" to see Zero and Colonel out in the snow, and Colonel gets a large cannon shooting snowballs.
- Iris: Brother, that's cheating!
Trivia
- Chryseis was most likely asking about the Crag Men from Mega Man X1.
- Once again, Zero does Parappa the Rapper references, this one from the final level of Parappa 1.
- Zero mentions the Ice de Voux and Iwan de Voux from Mega Man X3--they were found in Blizzard Buffalo and Tunnel Rhino's stages, respectively.
7. Hello, Motoman928
Someone other than X has the hots for Alia.
Transcript
Zero (as he clicks his inbox): Man, that fight was hard. I need an email to relax.
Dear Zero, I have got a big favor too ask you. I was wondering if you could hook me up with Alia, she is really hot. From, Motoman928 PS: How hard was it too beat Epsilon?
{says "too" almost as a howl, in both instances}
Zero (as he types): Hello, Moto. Epsilon was really hard to beat, but teamwork with X and Axl took him down.
{presses enter; starts typing anew}
Zero (as he types): As for Alia, I'm afraid you spoke up too late for that. I think she's got a crush on X.
{cuts to a scene on the Launch Octopus stage. X and Alia were on a jet ski.}
Zero (voice over): I think I may have found that out when I saw the two on a date together in Launch Octopus' old digs.
X: Man, I hadn't had this much fun since shortly before the Erasure Incident.
Alia: Yeah. It's nice to have some peacetime fun once in a while.
{back to Zero's computer, now a blank screen. Zero types}
Zero (as he types): But, I can understand that you seek love. So, I won't let your email go to waste.
{Zero clicks on a Layer icon, quickly types something out of view from the viewer, then clicks "Send"}
Zero: So until next week, keep sending me your cool emails!
Easter Eggs
- After the cartoon ends, click on the Layer icon to see what Zero typed.
Layer, Someone emailing me is desperate for a date. You interested? Zero
Trivia
- This is the first time since the third Zero email that Zero DIDN'T make a Parappa the Rapper reference.
- The P.S. in the email mentions Epsilon, the leader of the Rebellion in Mega Man X: Command Mission.
- Zero's reply started with "Hello, Moto", a reference to the Motorola Phones commercial that included that tagline.
6. A.C. vs. the Fallen
Take four with Anthony, and he asks Zero about something eviler than Sigma.
Transcript
Zero (rapping): I need to go, just as bad as you. {as he clicks his inbox} What I read in this email I don't even want to say to you.
Dear Zero, I don't mean to pester you but I have seen an herd of the fallen from Transformers he was once good but turned evil he is far more evil than Megatron the fallen makes Megatron look like a wimp. Do you know anyone like that like someone way more evil than Sigma? from,The A.C. PS-Ejoy the TF movie June 24!
{pronounces "an herd" as it is spelled; and pronounces Ejoy as "E-joy"}
Zero: Wow! The new "E-Joy" is out! I've always wanted one to replace the antique Ewok that Layer accidentally broke.
{presses enter to clear the screen, begins to type}
Zero: Your visits are no bother, but there are some things I am not really wild about. Like the Transformers movies. But from reports I've heard--
{Cuts to a scene of X and Zero in a canyon at a starry night}
Zero (voice over): There have been some Mavericks that have given a lot of humans nightmares just by their appearances alone.
Zero: Hey, X, seen Shadow Boogius yet?
X: Not yet, Zero.
{Back to the computer, a new black screen appears. Zero continues to type.}
Zero: As for something eviler than Sigma, I believe you're referring to Lumine.
{Goes to scene of X, Zero, and Axl facing Lumine's Seraph form near the end of Mega Man X8.}
Zero (voice over): Don't let his bishie looks fool you, he was a bad-arse. He wanted to rip the Earth a new one in ways that even Sigma couldn't dream up.
{Scene of X, Zero, and Axl destroying him. Soon, it cuts back to the computer. Zero presses enter to bring up a new clear screen and begins to type.}
Zero (as he types): So, yeah. There are baddies out there, worse than Sigma. We just haven't found them yet. Well, I need to go now. Pallette is having trouble sleeping at night, so she asked me to check under her sleep capsule for Shadow Boogius.
(leaves, ending the segment)
Easter Eggs

- Click "Shadow Boogius" to see a picture of Oogy Boogy from the Nightmare Before Christmas with robot attachments on him (like the Borg from Star Trek).
Trivia
- This is the fifth time Zero makes a Parappa the Rapper reference. In this one, he does something similar to the introduction of the fifth stage in Parappa the Rapper 1.
- Zero mentions Lumine, the final boss of Mega Man X8, in this email.
5. Anthony's Transformers
It's the third encounter with Anthony, and he asks about an archaic robot cartoon.
Transcript
Zero (rapping): Every single day emails come in everyway {as he clicks his inbox} I ain't got no time for no body...
Dear Zero, I herd of the new transformers movie coming out I'm so excited! Also, the new autobots that will in the movie remind me of you guys Axl=Jolt(Transforms into a bolt an electric car which suggests jolt likes eco friendly stuff and he's a bit of a troublemaker) You and X=Skids (Transforms into a beat chevy) and Mudflap (Turns into a chevy Trax) Colonel=Sideswipe (Transforms into a car called a sting ray) Alia=Arcee (Transforms into 3 ninja cycles) Middy=Wheelie (Transforms into a small RC controled monster truck) BTW Do you have any favorite Transformers? From-The A.C. P.S.-I think you,Iris,and your other friends should see it!
Zero (as he types): Transformers... meh, really archaic. And me as a beat up Chevy... what do you think I am?
{presses enter to clear screen, and then types}
Zero: As for transforming robots in general, I am reluctant to do so myself, and X and Axl maybe as well, after our encounter with Ride Boarski. But we went through the annals of history and read of two humanoid robots that, despite their being on the side of evil, could transform. One was a flame-thrower robot that could change into a racecar, and the other was a drilling robot that turned into a drill mech.
{presses enter to clear screen, and then types}
Zero: But, yeah. Transforming robots are not our thing. But you gotta admit, it would make great ride-armors that transform. However, that was also done in the distant past, and they had weird masked helmets to go with them. Anyway, I need to go to the arcade with Iris--she and I wanted to try out this recently rebuilt dance game.
Easter Eggs
- Click "Ride Boarski" to show a picture of Ride Boarski in his motorcycle mode.
- Click "flame-thrower robot that could change into a racecar" to see a picture of Turbo Man, both in humanoid form and his car form.
- Click "drilling robot that turned into a drill mech" to see a picture of Ground Man, both in humanoid form and drill mech form.
- Click "recently rebuilt dance game" to watch Zero and Iris play Dance Dance Revolution Extreme.
- Singers (in game): I'll be your Midnite Blaze, brighter than the moon and stars! Guide you through the game of love!
Trivia
- Since the topic is about transforming robots, this email mentions the three known ones thus far that do so--in the order mentioned in the email, Ride Boarski, Turbo Man, and Ground Man
- This is the fourth time Zero makes a reference to Parappa the Rapper--this time around, imitating Cheap Cheap the Cooking Chicken, in the fourth level of the first Parappa game.
- When Zero mentions transforming ride-armors and masked helmets, he's referring to the 1980's cartoon "MASK".
- The final Easter Egg has Zero and Iris playing Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, the favorite DDR game of D-BoyWheeler. The song in the back ground, "Midnite Blaze", is one of his favorite songs in said game.
4. Return of Anthony
Anthony from the previous email returns with some more conundrums.
Transcript
Zero (reggae rap): I've been checkin' up my emails so early... {clicks email icon} I've been checkin' them since Pallette was a baby...
Dear, Zero its me again! I have some questions I couldn't finish. #Doesn't Colonel have a problem about you dating his little sister? #Do you find it funny about sigma being a baldy? #Have you ever thought of geting upgrades? #Are Axl and Cinnamon really in love? #(Ask Colonel for this one for me he is awesome as you and Axl are) what was like when you and Iris where little? Signed Anthony. P.S.-I'm human and also just call me A.C.
{pauses a brief bit between "Dear" and "Zero".}
{Zero talks as he types}
Zero: Well, A.C., let's dissect this email question by question. First, since Colonel was also brought back by Nathan, he too is pleased that his sis Iris is with me. He has no hard feelings--
{cuts to a scene of Zero and Colonel having a practice fight, with Iris as a cheerleader}
Zero: --but we like to have sparring practices from time to time. Iris does double duty as cheerleader for both sides, and a referee.
{goes back to the computer; Zero presses enter, and talks as he types}
Zero: Second, heh, yeah, Sigma looks funny bald, but I guess he's bald in a super-villainy, Lex Luthor-ish bald.
{hits enter and continues}
Zero: For the third question, who needs upgrades when you are as cool as me? Though I have to admit I like doing that black armor bit. Fourth, naw, I'm pretty sure that Axl is with Pallette. But I have no doubts that Cinnamon would find a lucky Reploid dude someday.
{hits enter, continues}
Zero: Fifth, I won't need to ask Colonel. Because Reploids don't necessarily age like humanoids do, unless they want to look like oldies--case in point, Dr. Doppler. Well, I hope that answers your q's. I'm going to have another sparring match with Colonel. Besides, Iris looks quite cute in the cheerleader costume.
Easter Eggs
- Click on "A.C." near the beginning to see a photomanipulation of a man with an air conditioner for a head.
- Click on "Black Armor" when Zero answers the third and fourth questions to show a screenshot of Zero in his Black Armor in Mega Man X8.

- Click on "Iris looks quite cute in the cheerleader costume" to show Iris dancing Macarena in the park in the outfit.
Trivia
- This is the third time Zero makes reference to Parappa the Rapper. In the first email, he made reference of the first rap master, Chop Chop Master Onion. In the second, he made a reference to Instructor Mooselini. This time, he refers to Mr. Prince Fleaswallow.
- Zero twice mentions Pallette.
3. Touchy Subject
Zero struggles to answer a delicate topic.

{Clicks his email icon}
Dear Zero #Have you ever seen X and Alia doing anything......Dirty? #Do have any favorite movies? #Who is your favorite actor? signed, Anthony Coppola a huge megaman fan.
{Says "point" after "movies"}
Zero (as he types): Um, Anthony, Mega Man is two separate words, and both "M"s are capitalized.
{presses enter, then continues to speak as he types)
Zero: I'll answer 2 and 3 before I get to number 1. I have a couple fave movies, but they're pretty much mostly anime. For favorite actor, it'd have to be Vic M. I kinda forgot how to spell his last name, but he's that voice actor for Ed in FMA. He'd be great in a Mega Man themed anime.
{presses enter again, and again continues to speak as he types}
Zero: As for number 1, well nothing sexual, since it is not yet known if Reploids are capable of such. But I did accidentally walk in on X and Alia one time...
{cuts to scene of X and Alia having a makeout session in the woods at sunset. Alia and X's eyes get wide as they notice Zero accidentally walk in. Anime sweatdrop appears on Zero. Returns to Zero typing and speaking}
Zero: I've been having that scene recurring in my sleep since then. But Iris seems to help me get over it--but that's another story. Anyway, thanks for writing.
Easter Eggs

{leaves the Computer Center to return X's chocolate. He sneaks the chocolate bars back in the freezer and gets out before X notices}
X: Ah, my candy is here, but it seems a wee bit rearranged. I guess they wanted to see whose they were.
{Back in the Computer Center. Zero clears the screen and types anew.}

{Clicks "Reply" and begins to type.}
Zero: Well, Miss R. M. Headbanger, I'm glad you think I'm hot and a good hunter. And my saber really is awesome! As for music, it kind of depends on my mood. But ever since Nathan Light revived Iris, she's been getting me into some of the light and medium pop, and I'm really starting to like it. The fifth point, could you PLEASE type in proper grammar? But if you were asking me for a date, again, since Iris was brought back, I've been sticking with her. But, I won't let the email go to waste.
