Chapter 1: 21XX
"X, can you hear me?"
"I read you loud and clear Alia."
"I'm picking up maverick readings all over the North Pole. I'm dispatching as many maverick hunters as possible."
"Roger."
X turned to his friends.
"Axl, Zero, let's move out."
They nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile…
A hooded figure was making its way towards a makeshift shelter through the snow. It was clear the construction skills of whoever made it were minimal at best. Once inside, the figure removed its hood, revealing long, red hair, a pink shirt, and a young, female face. Two other young women were inside the shelter with her. The first had long, black hair and a green shirt, and the second had long, blonde hair and a baby blue shirt. All three of them looked extremely solemn.
"You're back," the one in the green shirt said.
The redhead simply nodded.
"Where have you been," the blonde one asked.
"I took a walk for a while," she finally replied.
The other two seemed to understand. It was as though they shared a common mindset. None of them said anything after that. They prepared their lunch for the day. The general atmosphere could've easily been described as gloomy.
Things were going smoothly on the maverick hunters' end. X, Zero, and Axl had already taken out most of the mavericks.
"I wonder why there was such a large concentration of mavericks here," X said.
"Beats me, but it looks like we took care of most of them," responded Zero.
"Let's go back to the base. Maybe Alia can give us some more information," Axl suggested.
"Right," Zero concurred.
Axl and Zero warped back to the hunter base. X was about to Join them, but just before he was about to leave, he spotted something in the distance. It looked like a small, wooden building.
The girls had finished eating and were drifting off to sleep. At this point, what time they slept didn't matter to them. They could no longer tell the difference between night and day. This was a situation made evident by their attitudes and the lack of windows in the construct.
*knock knock knock*
The sudden sound startled them into wakefulness. Only one question was on their minds at that point.
"Who's there," the girl in the pink shirt asked.
"My name is X," a voice responded from the other side of the door, "I'm a soldier in the security force known as the maverick hunters."
They were shocked to say the least. A soldier? Why was he here? The girl in pink opened the door. What greeted her eyes was a robot, not much taller than they were. He was very serious looking.
"You said your name was X?"
"Yeah. My friends zero and Axl just left. I was on my way back to base, but I stopped when I saw this place. Is this where you live?"
The girl in pink nodded.
"Why are you three alone out here?"
"We came here of our own accord."
"I see…"
They just stood facing each other for a minute. The cold from outside escaped them as an intense feeling of discomfort settled in. The girl in pink spoke first.
"Listen. It's obvious we're not going anywhere, and I want to know more about the maverick hunters. Come in."
"Thanks. I'll explain everything."
All four of them sat at a table in the middle of the room. Both of their stories were about to be revealed.
