So, here's another one of those fanfictions that I probably won't update in a million years! Yay! This isn't going to be following the story-line, as I'm going to try writing a ZeroxCubit, CubitxZero thing for the helluvit. If it's already been done - sorry! Oh well! Haha! In the future, I'm planning on doing many CubitxRandomPerson fic's... If I get my lazy arse into gear... Ahaha...

Now onto the story.

"What's this?" Zero questioned, glancing around the room curiously, aware of anything that may come after him... He had bad luck with these end rooms. He always found someone waiting for him. Or, someone always teleported in seconds after he arrived.

The blonde reploid waited, waited, then waited some more until he was confident no one was going to show. He went to talk over to something of interest, until he heard the tell-tale sign of teleportation. He turned his head warily to see the bright light enter the room and take the form of the next of Weil's Numbers that he was probably going to have to battle and defeat...

"Teeheehee," came the girlish laughter as the form materialized. Tall, feminine, and back-on - Zero could have sworn it was female. Even this ones voice lead him to beleive so... Until it turned around.

"Hey!" No breasts. The feminine guy pouted and crossed his arms across his chest, glaring at Zero. "You weren't supposed to see this place." His hands moved down to rest on his hips as he leaned forward, scrutinizing Zero from but a few feet away. The intruder looked battle-wary... But his hair was nice. Cubit smiled slyly, a plan already forming in his head.

He couldn't let this one leave. And anyway, this one appeared to be that rebel guy he was supposed to be cautious of! He'd already gotten rid of a few of his brothers, after all.

Poor Inarabitta. Poor Fliz... Though he couldn't say he particularly missed Hellbat much. Mantisk was someone he could live without, too.

He was brought out of his reverie when he noticed a bright light heading his way. Sabre! Cubit jumped back before darting to one side, keeping his eyes on where he had been. The ground now bore burn marks - if he hadn't moved, he would have been sliced down the middle!

Zero growled, blue eyes flashing. So much for this being over with quickly. The blonde rebel brought the sabre back up and got ready to charge at the enemy reploid again, mind never straying from his task.

Unlike Cubit's.

Such fire this 'Zero' displayed! Such fierceness! He obviously wanted to get rid of him fast and easy. But that was surely not going to be how it would go! He was not going to fall like his brother's before him did. He would avenge them, instead!

The girly reploid held his hands up in a peaceful fashion, much to Zero's confusion. Cubit grinned, then gestured to their surroundings before he spoke. "This is a Dark Elf copy factory. We've got copies of the Dark Elf sleeping here. In other words, Baby Elves. We have the facotry sealed off so nobody'd get suspicious..." His grin turned malicious and he lowered both his hands to his side before flinging one to the left, taking on a more sinister posture. "Now you've done it! I'll have to ensure you remain silent about this... For-e-ver!"

A light enveloped Cubit Foxtar's body as he changed into his battle form. To Zero, Cubit looked even more girly than he had moments before... The blonde couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Cubit continued with his little speech after the transformation was complete. "I am Cubit Foxar, member of Weil's Numbers!" As if that hadn't been obvious. "I'll make sure you never talk again!"

Cubit hovered for a moment before having to dodge to the side as Zero came at him again. The girly reploid dashed forward before turning, so that he could see the blonde, who was in the process of turning to face him as well.

Before the rebel reploid was ready to attack again, Cubit took to the air, causing the blonde to pause for a moment to rethink his attack plan. Foxtar chuckled, waiting, plan in mind...

Zero dashed then jumped up, sabre ready, eyes confident that he would hit his target...

Though, he didn't. His target, instead, had a different idea in mind. Flames were immediately sent Zero's way as the enemy moved back, out of his reach. He had no choice but to be burnt; he couldn't have changed his course, as he was already airbourne and hadn't the capabilities.

The blonde rebel landed heavily on the ground, on his feet. All right, but burnt. His armour was charred by the flames and his synthetic skin was most likely melted in places... And he swore he could smell singed hair.

Cubit landed on the ground as well, albeit much softer than Zero had done so. He watched and waited for the rebel's next move, one hand on his hip. He was impatient, to say the least. The blonde seemed to be thinking about something - or waiting for him to do something?

"Hel-lo, anybody home in there?" Cubit inquired, daring to take a step towards Zero. No answer, but... Was Zero shaking?

Was he... Scared?

Alas, no! Quite the opposite.

"You..." Zero sent a glare at Cubit that froze the girly reploid in his tracks. "You damaged..." Zero's grip tightened around his sabre as he straightened, still glaring at Cubit with enough intensity that if looks could kill, Cubit would be disintegrated. "My HAIR!" With a mighty, almost mournful battle-cry, the blonde dashed at Cubit, his speed enhanced by his overwhelming rage towards the guy.

"Eeep!" Cubit yelped, jumping back before turning tail and fleeing from the rebel's rampage. Scary! Most horrifying! Worse than Weil when the ole grump rolled out of bed - literally!

It took only seconds for Cubit to notice running was no good. The rebel reploid was faster than he... Then again... Could he fly?

The girly reploid took to the air. Zero growled, murderous blue eyes following his enemy. There was just no way in hell he was letting this guy escape! He damaged his HAIR, of all things! He had to die! DIE!

Cubit made his second mistake - other than doing damage to Zero's hair. He stopped and turned, figuring he was safe in the air, and got ready to taunt his persuer. No dice.

Zero took advantage of Cubit's stop and turnabout. He jumped into the air, grabbing hold of the girly reploid and effectively tackling him out of the air and onto the ground. The surprised Cubit stared up, wide-eyed at the blonde - who was effectively straddling his waist and pinning both his arms above his head - before he found a sabre being held right between his eyes.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't..."

Cubit took that moment to transform back into his more human-like appearance, grinning nervously up at the rebel of whom was glaring murderously at him. Hopefully he saw the re-transformation as a sign of peace... Though Cubit doubted he was able to see much at all, aside from pure rage. "If you don't kill me, I'll help you! And... If you kill me... There will be no proof for anything going on here! The copies will all die... The... The room will cease functioning!" It was the truth, at least. The watched the blonde hopefully, his pink eyes watching the murderous blue ones.

Reluctantly, after what seemed like years, Zero moved his sabre away from Cubit's face. Though he didn't let the girly reploid get up, nor did he let go of his hands. "You had better be telling the truth," he snarled, before he paused and wondered just how this was going to work...

He didn't want to test Cubit's words. If what he had said was, indeed, the truth, killing him would make this mission pointless. However, if he was just lying to save his skin and to get Zero to let him go... What was to stop him from attacking the first chance he got?

Zero sighed in irritation, placing his now deactivated sabre down on the ground next to him before opening his comlink. "Ciel."

The girl's voice immediately answered him, sounding concerned. "Zero?! Are you all right?"

"Yes." He spared a glance down at a releived-looking Cubit before continuing. "I've run into a problem. Can you teleport us back to base?"

"Us?" Ciel was curious. Genuinely curious. "Who is with you?"

"Cubit Foxtar," the blonde replied, saying the name as if it left a disgusting taste in his mouth. "He has said that if I kill him, all the proof here goes along with him. I don't want to take that chance."

The human girl on the other end of the comlink was silent for a moment, before she said something to one of the people in the room she was in. Her voice came back over the comlink, loud and clear, moments later. "All right... Hold on."

Not a minute later, both Weil's fiery girly-bot and the rebel's hot-headed hero were in the teleport room of the rebel's HQ. Ciel peered at the two curiously, cautiously, consideringly as she rested her chin in one of her hands, and her elbow in the free one.

It wasn't every day Zero brought home one of the enemies under what she assumed were somewhat peaceful terms.

And their positions were amusing.
