X, Zero, Dr. Cain, Blade and Claw returned to HQ. Diane and Liz were waiting there with Coordinator Spade, Protoman, Jex and the rest of the Hunters. When they saw the victorious Hunters arrive, everyone cheered. "Well," Coordinator Spade took the word. "How was everything?"

"Thatīs done, no more Wiley, never." X said with a pretty serious expression in his face. The Skull Castle is there, but nobody is in charge of it."

There was a big celebration in HQ. X and Zero were seen as heroes. "Brothers," Protoman began talking through the microphone. "now that there will be no more Maverick organizations threatening the world, we could say that the work of the Maverick Hunters is done. Ltīs have a cheer for our best Hunters, X and Zero!" All the Hunters, humans and reploids cheered X and Zero for a long while.

"People," A police officer who arrived there began talking through the microphone. "Iīve got terrible news, for X and Zero especially. My squad and I went to the Skull Castle to arrest the Mavericks that were left, and at the top of the fortress, at Dr. Wileyīs lab, we found Dr. Wileyīs dead body, with X and Zeroīs arm-cannons marks all over it." The officer paused for a second.

"Oh boy," Zero muttered to X, "here it comes..."

"So, I donīt have another option but to arrest Hunters X and Zero..."

"What?!" Diane and Liz asked as if in chorus. "They killed a scientist who was trying to destroy humans and reploids for equal, they did the world a favor, and now theyīre going to be arrested! Oh please!" Diane was pretty mad, as well as the rest of the people in the room.

"Iīm pretty sorry, but these two Hunters broke the First Law of Robotics which says..." The officer was interrupted by Lizīs furious voice. "Oh, come on! We all know what the First Law of Robotics says!"

"Then," The officer continued, "you should understand why Iīm arresting them. Now, get out of the way!" The officer ordered as he placed the hand-cuffs on X and Zero and took their Beam-Sabers. The officer took them to jail and there they remained until their trial.

1 month after X and Zeroīs arresting, the trial of the century, or that was how the press called it, took place. "And now, the case against the Maverick Hunters X and Zero. The accused please stand up." And so did X and Zero. "This court is in session. You are accused for breaking the First Law of Robotics by killing Dr. Albert Wiley. How do you declare yourselves?"

"Guilty your honor." X said after looking at Zero.

"Well, the court get a 15 minute break to decide the veredict and pass the sentence." The court and jury went into a private room. Meanwhile, Diane and Liz were talking to X and Zero. 15 minutes later... "Order in the hall. This court is again in session. Has the jury decided the veredict?"

"Yes you honor." The jury representative said as she stood up. "This jury declares the accused... GUILTY!"

"After hearing the veredict," The judge continued talking. "I must pass sentence. The accused please arise." X and Zero stood up. "Maverick Hunters Mega Man X and Zero, I sentence you to be deactivated and never to be activated again!"

"What?!" Diane muttered and began crying on Lizīs shoulder. "How, how could they?" Liz didnīt answer.

"Youīll be deactivated in Dr. Cainīs lab and buried in safety capsules that shall never be opened." The judge expression was pretty serious. "Now, this court is dismissed."

Back at Dr. Cainīs lab... "I canīt do it." Dr. Cain muttered to himself. "These were the best Hunters alive, I canīt allow them to disappear. But what can I do?" X and Zero were sealed in two capsules and buried outside HQ...

And in that way, the best Hunters alive, were sealed and never seen again!...........
