Shining Firefly

"My work is not for Maverick Hunters. I've never trusted your approach. Therefore, I won't cooperate with you."

- Izzy Glow

Izzy Glow (Shining Firefly, "Shining Hotarunicus" in Japan) is a scientist that had gone Maverick when the Sigma Virus infected his laboratory. His creation, the Laser Device, was one of the parts used in the Enigma. He teleports about, shoots F-Laser firefly shots, and sends large laser beams from his abdomen. Electricity is his weakness, so use Tri-Thunder (if X) or E-Blade (if Zero).

When Playing as X
Izzy Glow: What a graceful entrance...

X: This laboratory is so badly infected by the virus, there's no other way for me to enter.

Izzy Glow: Humph! You Hunters always do that... My work is not for Maverick Hunters. I've never trusted your approach. Therefore, I won't cooperate with you.

X: Doctor... I don't have time to argue with you. Please understand.

Izzy Glow: My body... has already been infected, too. I realize I may have been wrong... But it's too late to change now... I've made up my mind... Now, let me rest in peace!

When Playing as X (without needing the Laser Device)
Izzy Glow: Woooooo... I feel dizzy... I seem to have been infected by the... ...virus... I'm feeling an urge to attack you...

X: Doctor! Are you all right? Come to the Hunter base with me...

Izzy Glow: No... It's too late... I'm losing consciousness...

X: No! He has become a Maverick! Doctor... Please... rest in peace...

When Playing as Zero
Zero: Dr. Izzy Glow, will you do us a favor?

Izzy Glow: My work is not for Maverick Hunters. I've never trusted your approach. Therefore, I won't cooperate with you. However... I find you fascinating... No one has ever managed to analyze the infamous X and Zero... But it's too late... Soon, I'll be one of the Mavericks... It's time... I'll have to learn about you through battle. Now... put me out of my misery!

When Playing as Zero (without needing the Laser Device)
Zero: Dr. Izzy Glow... Oh, am I too late?

Izzy Glow: Yes, you are. I've already been infected by the Virus. However, I'm still interested in you. X and Zero, whom nobody has ever succeeded in analyzing... I guess my only hope is to analyze you by fighting you before I lose myself completely and become a Maverick... Now, fight me. And put me out of my misery!
