Dr. Light appeared the moment X walked up to the capsule. Motion sensors built into the top of the capsule triggered the AI program that was Dr. Light's legacy. The stout blue image of the man who once was appeared in a shaft of green light. The capsule reflected that light brilliantly, and the Doc had a smile on his face.
"X! So good to see you again. What I have here is nothing new. In fact, this is a replica of the armor I gave you before. Enter this capsule X, and receive the head module which belongs to your fourth armor. It retains the exact same qualities of the previous helmet upgrade, so you can use your special weapons as much as you like. So long...X!"
The image flickered, and for the briefest of flashes, it turned purple, then winked out. X stepped into the capsule.
A sudden data stream flowed into his consciousness. A swirl of falling energy cascaded down upon him. Then it hit him! A strong blast struck the top of the capsule. Energy from some unknown source activated the helmet upgrade, and it formed around his head. However, instead of the instantaneous snap, whith which the helmet usually appeared, the process seemed to be lagging. It took double the amount of time to load the helmet data into X's main CPU. It finished, and X saluted triumphantly. He stepped out of the Capsule. His thoughts took him back to the Last thing the Doc had said to him.
"So long....X!" What did he mean? Was he going away? Could that be a final message to him for the Doc? X didn't think so. And why did the helmet take so long to appear? Just as he was thinking about this, he turned back to look at the capsule. A stream of light came from the capsule, and suddenly an image appeared. It was a holographic image of X.
Mega Man X turned around, and looked at the image with wide eyes. "What the...?"
The helmet appeared on the holo image, but it was not colored the same blue as the image itself. It was an evil purple color. Then it looked like something inside the capsule over rode the program responsible for the images X saw. Sparks flew out of the holo projector, and smoke poured out of it. In a flash, the capsule fried out, and let off a few small explosions. It crumbled to the ground, blackened.
"What was that?" X asked himself out load. "It looked like Dr. Light was trying to tell me something....but what?"
