Reploid is mine, so please ask if you want to use her.

X sighed. This was not going at all how he expected. They just were not ready for such high demands on their skills…
"Ok guys, that's all for now…" The hunters sighed gratefully and headed toward their respective quarters. X walked out and massaged his sinuses. They need more practice…they won't survive for more than a minute if they fight like that in a real battle…X was so absorbed in his thoughts that he did not hear someone sneaking up on him…
"Gotcha!!" X cried out and jumped a foot, before wheeling around to see a familiar crimson form, laughing hard. "HAHA…god X, you musta really been deep in thought…slacking off?" A small smile crept up X's face.
"No Zero…just thinking…" His tone made it clear to Zero as to what he was thinking about.
"Bad training session again, huh?" X sighed and nodded. Zero chuckled. "Gotta love the rookies…"
"Unless they pick up the pace they won't have a chance…"
"Give 'em time…or let me handle them for a few days." X smiled.
"Time, yes…you, no."
"Hey!" X grinned and sprinted down the hallway, Zero in hot pursuit. "What's that supposed to mean?" X laughed, and continued. He rounded a corner, and stopped dead in his tracks. Zero, not knowing X had stopped, plowed into him, and sent them both crashing to the floor.
"Ow!" Zero managed to untangle himself from X, and helped him up. "What's the big…" Zero's attention swayed to a figure at the end of the hall; an unfamiliar reploid stood gazing out the window. Her armor was darker than night, traced with silver, like moonbeams. Her long, ebony hair was tied back much like Zeros', and hung past her thighs, swaying softly in the air currents. At the sound of his voice, her gaze turned in their direction, cold lavender eyes regarding them carefully. After a few moments, she spoke.
"Well well, look who we have here…" Her voice was dark and cool, a hint of a Germanic accent present. "The Blue Boy and Blondie out having some fun…" Zero frowned. Blondie? Footsteps were heard coming towards them down the corridor.
"Hey, Rookie!" The female reploid whirled about, and scowled. A tall, chunky Reploid came into view. His armor was a pine green, trimmed with yellow. He had a thick, messy beard, and brown eyes. His harsh, booming voice could never be mistaken for anyone else's. "What the hell are you doing? Training started 10 minutes ago! Thanks to your lack of time keeping, the session shall continue for twice as long. Get going!" She stared at him, fire burning in her eyes. For a moment, Zero thought she was going to snap back at him, but instead, she faced them.
"Auf Wiedersehen boys…" She winked and sprinted off down the corridor, her hair flowing gracefully behind her. Jack sighed and looked at Zero and X, who conveniently kept their faces expressionless.
"I don't know what I'm going to do with her…skipping training and disobeying my orders…she's a handful...stubborn German…Well, good day to you." He turned and followed her.
"And he wonders why no one likes him…" X muttered. Zero snorted. "Did you see the look in her eyes? She hates him…"
"Who doesn't?" replied Zero sarcastically. "But…'Blondie'?" X was about to say something when the alarm klaxons went off. They both cursed and ran to the meeting room, where Alia was waiting for them.
"Maverick attack?" She nodded.
"Yeah…" A diagram materialized, showing it on the edge of the city. "It's odd, they aren't attacking in the usual fashion. Get three members from each of your units and go out to investigate."
"Hai!" They turned to leave.
"Hold it!" They stopped in mid-stride. "There will be another unit going with you…"
"Whose?" asked Zero. Alia frowned.
"Jacks…"
"WHAT???!!!" both cried. She sighed.
"The rookies in his unit need the field experience. It would do them good to actually fight."
"So in other words we're baby-sitting?" questioned Zero.
"If you wanna call it that, yeah…" They groaned. "Just make sure that they don't get into too much trouble. Should things start to turn ugly, get them out of there. Am I clear?"
"Hai…"
"Good…now get going!" Without another word, they turned and left. Once outside, X was fortunate enough to hear a long string of curses from his companion.
"God dammit…" Zero growled. "Of all the available units, she had to pick his!" X sighed.
"My day just keeps going from bad to worse…" Zero grinned.
"Yeah, but maybe he'll finally get what's been coming to him…"
"Zero…"
"Does it hurt to hope?" X sighed.
"Well, no sense moping over it…let's go." They beeped the three best members of their units, and in 2 minutes met in the garage. Jack's unit was already there, waiting for them. Zero looked around, and did not see the mysterious female reploid among them. Jack seemed in even more a foul mood then usual, so he did not bother asking where she was.
"Everyone ready?" called X.
"Hai!" was the reply.
"All right, let's head 'em up and move 'em out!" They all piled onto bikes, and blew through the doors, speeding towards the direction where the Maverick activity had been detected.
