Disclaimer: For who ever wishes to read my 'hopefully' good story, I must say that I do not own any characters from mega man x, however I do own R.X.L.
Summary: Upon the series of mega man x8, it is said that Axl was but a mere prototype, but for who? Of course we know that he's a prototype for the New Generation Reploids, however there is one unique New Generation Reploid that our old friend Sigma has unleashed, which walks, talks, and even looks like Axl. Who is this reploid, and can X, Zero and Axl defeat him?
"Zero!" cried an all too blue reploid, "Look at what you did now!" hands clutching at the back of his head as if the wind was going to knock it off his shoulders.
Around the room was a white wonderland made of paper, heaps of the thin material were gathered in most areas taking the form of small hills.
The red Maverick Hunter, looked at the blue team leader like he was slapped with a brick across the face… twice, "Hey! What the heck did I do?", bewilderment shone out of his every pore, his face burning as red as the sun, as anger rose to it's climax.
"Because of you, we all made a-" the leader started to explain before a child-like voice interrupted him.
"Hey!" Said the young Hunter, sat on a wooden oak table where the commander would usually be seated, "I didn't do a thing! It was all you and Zero's fault!" A pout marked its new home on the young Hunters face. However quickly disappeared when the blue being stepped towards him.
"Exactly! Axl! You did nothing!" The blue hunter had the look of stress in his eyes "And now look, Commander Signas will be here any moment, and he'll freak out!" Before Axl had manage a single word, Zero glanced at the blue psycho.
"Oh, come on X, give Axl a break. Besides, we got to find that stupid script that Alia told us to find" he said thoughtfully "surely he wont mind because of that?" the red Hunter said, flicking off a speck of dust on his 'Z' plate.
The blue reploid looked around the room at the mess he, and his comrades created. Then when ready he turned to face Zero, and nodded in acceptance. "Besides, Alia warned us that if we couldn't retrieve the script that she needs, she's going to demote us to class-d missions where, gladly, the rookies all go. And we do not want that do we?" Zero stated. All three of the hunters cringed at the thought of getting a cat out of a tree.
While silence consumed the room, Axl looked over the table that he was sat on and started to search through all the papers that were scattered there, picking up a stack of papers he saw one slip from the pile to the edge of the table. Putting the stack down, he slowly reached over for said piece of paper. All of a sudden, he misplaced his arm and slipped of the table with a short yelp of surprise. The other two hunters glanced his way seeing what all the commotion was about and soon ended up having fits of giggles.
"….OW!…." came the annoyed reply. All around the room, more papers flew, and as Axl lifted his head up from the scene of the crime, he glanced at the other two Maverick Hunters, and grimaced when they tried to hold their laughter, but to no avail.
Zero, looked up at him and said, through laughter "Ha-ha…. Hey Axl… have a nice trip?"
X also added " yeah… where did you go?… was it nice?" Soon both of them tried to calm themselves down.
Mumbling to himself, he grabbed the fine oak edges of the table and swiftly pulled himself up, keeping his head low, he searched on the table for the missing document. Looking closer, he saw that the document fell with him and he slowly crouched down and picked it up. Taking a quick peek at his two friends, a thought made itself be known, and a small mischievous grin marked itself on his face.
Rising from the crouching position, he held his arm in a 'I think its broken' kind of way and left the room all the while saying "Just heading to life saver for a sec, don't wait up".
The two hunters that were left behind shared a concerned look for their friend. However while doing this they didn't realise that said friend, was up to something.
Axl strolled down one of the many hallways of the HQ, and then ungracefully walked through two gigantic, metal double doors which, behind were two people that he really wanted to see. At first he stood over the female navigator, and was not surprised that she acknowledged him without him realising, (she was actually quite good at that).
"…. Give… here…. Now!…" she said, anger in her throat. Axl quickly passed her the document. He then opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Alia, "no…. Axl I'm not upgrading your busters… again!" At this statement he pulled a hurt stricken expression.
"Never knew I said I wanted them upgrading" Axl said, flinching at the glare he received back.
"Don't get fly, brat! I can read you like a book!" She replied anger increasing rapidly. Axl took notice and asked,
"Sheesh, what's up with you?" He asked, curious.
"Why? Why does suddenly everybody ask what's wrong with me? I'm not crazy!"
"I didn't even ask that" he pouts in her direction, like a slapped puppy
Then he turns to face Commander Signas, "Commander?" Axl said in a child-like manner.
"Yes?" Signas asked in quite the same way.
"Did you know that X and Zero are in your office and that they have totally turned the thing upside down?" A smug impression pounced on his face as the commander desperately ran out of the room.
"… That was mean Axl" Alia glanced towards him, a fierce look pierced through him, yet he only answered her gaze with a quiet shrug.
"Hey, they deserved it" he replied. Earning him a confused look from Alia.
Meanwhile back at the command room, X and Zero still searched for the missing document that, if not found, would damage their careers for good. However, while X continued on the search, Zero pondered on the main reason why Axl suddenly departed, whether it was because of that little accident earlier, he didn't know, unless Axl has become more soft. Then a thought hit him, "Hey X, did you see Axl carrying a piece of paper?" he asked.
Not hearing accurately X turned his full attention onto Zero, "Excuse me?" he asked.
"Did Axl leave this room with a piece of paper?" Zero asked X, face full of panic and regret. Just then, the door of the command room opened to reveal… Signas! Both Maverick Hunters shot a look at each other, then at the room, then back at each other. Then slowly turned their heads to face Signas. "Umm, hello commander" They both said in unison.
Looking around the room, Signas' mouth dropped in shock 'My room!' he thought, 'my beautiful room!'
"X!….ZERO!" Oh he was really angry, and they were really screwed. As the door to the command room began to close, both maverick hunters squeaked in fright. Backing away from the really blood thirsty reploid that started to slowly reach for them, X held up a piece of paper that had been clutched in his hand since he talked to Zero. Holding up said piece of paper, he said -
"Umm…. We were just…. Looking for this!" he told the glaring commander and they both slowly but surely began for the door "Guess we found it, well got to return it to Alia" X continued.
Zero added "Yep! Alia's waiting for us" and both hunters scrambled for the door.
That was until a large hand grabbed each of them and spun them around on the spot. Looking at their commander with puppy dog eyes, they could see a rather evil smirk upon his face, glancing at each other they both let out an audible *gulp*.
Somewhere up in space…
A howl of laughter erupted from the plains of a newly built base, in which was the newest home Sigma had occupied. Following through the hallways of the building and through a pair of metallic cream doors that were guarded by two soldier reploids, the cackling came to an abrupt stop, and a conversation was heard.
"Are you ready my little one?" came a dark and overpowering voice.
"Yes, Master Sigma" came a more child like voice, full of order and determination.
"Good, now" more evil laughter presumed "You know what to do" he said, pausing until the younger reploid nodded in confirmation "Now go get him, he'll ruin the plan if he gets in our way"
"Yes, master sigma" the child reploid replied, "I will do as you ask" as the younger reploid began to leave, sigma placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Oh, and don't forget" the young reploid froze "Fail, and I will kill you. Understand?" Nodding in understanding, the reploid left.
Please review! This is my very first fan fiction, and would really appreciate it if you would ^_^
