It's about Signas as a young reploid that joins the maverick hunters and he meets a mysterious guy and befriends 'Zaire'. Zaire is extreme, professional hunter but he has a dark secret that he hates to remember. Will Signas find out about Zaire's secret?
Story 1.1 - Becoming hunters
The sun is rising at the morning with the blue sky and white clouds. The humans and reploids lived in peace. They were walking on the streets. At the train station, the train stopped and opened the doors. The people came out of the train. The young reploid stepped outside of the train station. He looked at the morning sky.
"Well, this is it. The first day of joining the maverick hunter." he smiled.
At the Maverick Hunter Headquarter, it was a very ginormous. The logo is in the middle of the building. The young reploid is just standing there and stared at the building.
"Well, I must go there." he said.
"WHOA! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" he heard someone shouted. He saw a blue reploid with red cross and blue helmet with red shades. He was chased by a lot of girls that fallen in love with him. "HELP MEEEEEE!" he screamed for help.
"Holy moly! That's a lot of girls!" the young reploid shocked.
He decided to help the black-haired blue reploid. He grabbed his hand and ran to the inside of the HQ. The young reploid and the black-haired blue reploid hid at the boys' comfort room. They're panting and taking a deep breath.
"Thanks, dude. Without you, I'm going to die by the ambush of girls." the blue reploid with red shades took a bow for thank.
"No problem. Anyway, why the girls are going to get you? Are you a celebrity or a hero?" the young reploid asked.
"Nope, I'm no actor or Superman. I have no idea why the girls chased me but they said that I'm Hanade Skylor from 'Night Falls'. I'm not Hanade. I'm Zaire. I'm here for join the maverick hunters." Zaire explained and upset that the girls think that he's Hanade.
"I see your point. Well, Hanade has long hair and red eyes. You have blue helmet with red shades. So, Your name is Zaire. I'm Signas. Nice to meet you." Signas smiled.
"Oh! Nice to meet you too." Zaire smiled at him too. He looked at his wrist watch. "Signas, what time do we meet the instructor?" he asked.
"Um... 8:00 am." Signas replied.
"It's 7:55 in my watch." Zaire saw his wristwatch to Signas.
"Then, let's hurry!" Signas shocked.
Signas and Zaire ran as fast as they can to reach the training room and they did. They were surrounded by many reploids in many styles.
"Whoa! There are a lot of trainees that they want to be hunters." Zaire surprised.
"Yeah... They are so many. However, if the instructor gives us difficult tasks, some other trainees will give up." said Signas.
"That's harsh. Well, we will never give up. Let's do our best to become hunters." Zaire cheered.
"Guess you're the one who has positive and energetic personality." the reploid girl with mahogany red hair commented.
"Um... thanks... what's your name?" Zaire asked.
The reploid girl sighed. "Do you want to know my name? Well, My name is Marionetta." Marionetta answered with a serious tone.
"Nice to meet you, Marionetta. I'm Zaire and this is my friend, Nas." Zaire introduced Signas and himself to Marionetta.
"Nas?" Signas confused.
*BANG!*
Everyone heard a gunshot and no one got killed. They saw a lion reploid with robotic wings showed up. He's the one who pulled the trigger.
"So, all of you are going to train to become maverick hunters. Hah! I don't care if you're special, self-confidence or good guy you are but your #$es belong to me now. My name is Cyclone Lion. I'll be your instructor, you pigs!" Cyclone Lion introduced to all reploids with a cruel attitude.
"Nas, should we answer him 'oink! oink!' as in 'yes, sir!'?" Zaire whispered to Signas.
"Sheesh!" Signas put his finger on his lips to make 'shh!' sign.
"As for now, I don't give you any downhill training. If you're desiderated becomes a hunter, you will accept the hardest tasks." Lion Cyclone continued. He walked to the crowd. He looked at their faces of the reploids. There's... tall and short, tan and pale, fat and sexy(thin), all boys and one girl. Lion Cyclone stopped and stared at Marionetta.
'$# /! This isn't good.' Marionetta thought it in her mind and gulped.
"So, Missy, What an earth are you doing here?" Lion Cyclone asked.
"Um... My name is Marionetta and I'm here for-"
"I KNOW THE REASON WHY. You're only girl in this group. If you stop the maverick, what are you going to do, by strip yourself, doing sexy poses and attacking while they want to rape you?"
'What?! That pervert!' Marionetta gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She definitely wants to punch him.
"Actually, female reploids want to join the maverick hunters because they want to be strong, brave and the first maverick huntress." Marionetta heard Zaire's voice. "According to Technology and Health Education, girls are more intelligence than boys. For boys, they're athletes but the girls can be sporty. It's more awesome to have a female reploid in our group. Is it right, boys?" Zaire winked at the male reploids.
"Uh-huh..." the male reploids nodded.
'Zaire is going to get busted by the instructor.' Signas sweat dropped.
"Are you answering to me, champ?" Lion Cyclone hissed. He's really pissed off.
"Nope... But I know why. You don't have a girlfriend. Don't worry; I'll find you a lioness so that you have a happy love life." Zaire smiled with butterflies and rainbows.
The male reploids giggled. Lion Cyclone is super mega angry.
'Crap! He's busted.' Signas and Marionetta shocked.
"Do you want to teach you a lesson about behaviours?" Lion Cyclone asked.
"You mean, a fight? Sure." Zaire smirked.
"Whoa! Zaire, you shouldn't fight him because you're just a rookie." Signas stopped him.
"Rookie, eh? Not just any rookie." Zaire replied.
Zaire and Lion Cyclone were on training stage. The male reploids were excited to watch them. Signas and Marionetta were very nervous to see Zaire is going to fight the instructor.
"Is your friend an idiot?" Marionetta asked.
"Who knows. Maybe he knows what he is doing." Signas guessed.
Lion Cyclone and Zaire stood their fighting positions. They will wait for their action. They stared at each other to get ready.
Zaire sighed. "Dude, are we ready or what?" he asked.
"Why you ask that? Come and fight me!" Lion Cyclone shouted.
"But who goes first?"
"Stop talking and fight-"
Zaire upper cut punched Lion Cyclone's face. Lion Cyclone flew off in the air, crashed the roof top and straight to the sky. The male reploids, Signas and Marionetta jaw-dropped.
"Oppsie!" Zaire covered his mouth.
"Zaire, is that you over there?" the old man called him.
The male reploids, Signas, Marionetta and Zaire looked behind. The old man has a crane, a bold head and a long, white beard.
"Ah! Dr. Cain, I'm so glad you're here." Zaire shocked and took a bow.
"Dr. Cain?! He's the founder and the commander of the maverick hunters." the fat reploid shocked.
"We must respect for him." said the short reploid.
All the male reploids, Signas, Marionetta and Zaire took a bow. "Good morning, Dr. Cain." they greeted to him.
"Good morning, fellow trainees. I'm glad that you want to join us. So, where's your instructor?" Dr. Cain asked.
"Um... He's... Er..." Zaire pointed at the hole that Lion Cyclone flew off.
"Oh! My! My! You used a lot of strength to do that, Zaire. Nevermind, I think he's going down with his wings very soon. Anyway, do you have a card that I gave you?" Dr. Cain asked.
"Oh yeah! It's right over here." Zaire pulled out his card from his pocket and gave it to Dr. Cain.
"Hmm..." Dr. Cain looked at Zaire's card closely. "I think you should attend to invention class, not training. You already training on combat last year. The massager got error."
"WHAT?!" the male reploids, Signas and Marionetta shocked.
"Hahaha! I guess I had too much enough training." Zaire laughed.
"Zaire, why you didn't tell me that you're a technician-in-training?" Signas asked without laughing.
"Technically, I'm not a technician-in-training. I'm just learning new things and become a hunter." Zaire replied.
"Um... Dr. Cain, If you're not in this group, are we going to tell Lion Cyclone about this?" Marionetta asked to Dr. Cain.
"Oh! Yes, can you tell him that he will go to my office? I will explain all of it." Dr. Cain said.
"Yes, sir." Marionetta nodded.
"Hmm... Zaire was right. Having a female hunter is more interesting." Dr. Cain smiled. "Now, Zaire. We should go to the laboratory." he left the training room.
"Oh boy!" Zaire cheered and followed him. He stopped and looked at his two friends. "Nas, Marionetta, I'll see ya around." he gave a thumbs up and left.
"WHOOOOOAA!" Lion Cyclone finally crashed down on the ground.
After five hours, the male reploids, Signas and Marionetta were exhausted in training by the claws of Lion Cyclone. Some other reploids quitted becoming hunters but the others are never giving up. They have lunchtime at the canteen. Signas and Marionetta took their trays and went to the food court.
"I cannot believe that the cowards are quitting because of Lion Cyclone." said Marionetta.
"Well, they don't have guts to fight any dangerous tasks. I mean, the hunters must have courage and never give up. We fight the mavericks for peace, not being famous." said Signas.
"But being a hero and hunter are the same famous, right?" Marionetta asked.
"Not surely." Signas shrugged.
"Hey! Nas, Mari, what's up?!" Zaire greeted as a cashier.
"Whoa! Zaire, what the heck are you doing here?!" Signas and Marionetta shocked.
"I'm here to take a part time job." Zaire replied.
"Part time job as a cashier?" Marionetta asked.
"Not only cashier but also a chef." Zaire smiled.
"So, you cooked all the meals and you never get tired." said Signas.
"I only cooked spaghetti and meat balls, cheeseburgers and french fries. There are other meals on the menu." Zaire pointed at the menu.
"Oh! You're hardworking." Signas amazed.
"Thanks. So, what do you like to order?" Zaire asked.
"Do you have salad?" Marionetta asked.
"Of course! Salad for Mari. What's yours, Nas?" Zaire asked.
"I really like to try the spaghetti with meatballs." Signas replied.
Zaire served two drinks, salad and spaghetti with meatballs for Marionetta and Signas. They paid the meals and brought them to their table. Marionetta and Signas sat on their chairs and ate their meals.
"This spaghetti is awesome. Zaire is really a great cook." Signas surprised by the taste.
"Really? Every spaghetti tastes good." Marionetta mumbled.
"No, seriously! Just taste it." said Signas.
"Don't try to force me to eat that." Marionetta hissed.
"Marionetta, open your mouth!"
"Huh-Mmph!" Marionetta shocked but Lion Cyclone put a scoop of spaghetti in her mouth. She keeps chewing.
"Don't you dare split it!" Lion Cyclone shouted.
Marionette chewed it slowly and swallowed. "Hmm... That's really delish." she nodded. She looked at Lion Cyclone. "Hey! What was that for?!" she hissed.
"For being stubborn." Lion Cyclone replied and walked away.
"I am not stubborn!" Marionetta shouted.
"Hey, Marionetta! I think Lion Cyclone likes Zaire's spaghetti." said Signas. He pointed at Lion Cyclone and Zaire are chatting. They were pretty fine.
"Wait! They should mad each other." Marionetta confused and rubbed her temple.
"I think Dr. Cain talked to him already." Signas guessed.
Marionetta sighed and went to the canteen. In minutes later, she returned with spaghetti with meals, cheeseburger and french fries.
"Let me guess, you really like Zaire's cooking." Signas chuckled with a smirk.
"Oh shut up!" Marionetta shouted with a blush.
After lunchtime, the trainees, Marionetta and Signas continued their training. They tried so hard to face the tasks that Lion Cyclone gave them. They learned how to fight mavericks, survival, face their fear, getting stronger, faster, and smarter and saving the innocent lives. In five months later, the trainees are only thirty that they never give up. Even, Signas and Marionetta are still in training. For Zaire, he's still learning mechanics, repairing, navigating, analyzing and mostly combats. Zaire is inventing a weapon with his tools. Sigma came into his room.
"Zaire, are you finishing your invention?" Sigma asked.
"Almost... It's a surprise, sir." Zaire replied.
"I see. You're very advance making weapons. You're just like your father. He invented a lot of machines." Sigma commented.
"I know. He's a mad genius. I need a break for now." Zaire got up. "Oh! Commander Sigma, my final exam is in two days away, right?" he asked.
Sigma nodded. "Indeed, in your final exam, there's a lot of mavericks you need to defeat with your abilities and knowledge. You must remember-"
"Yeah! Yeah! I'm always freaking remember my study. Got it memorize?" Zaire smiled and pointed his head by his finger. "Well, Gotta go. See ya, Commander Baldy!" he ran off.
"Commander Baldy?" Sigma raised a brow.

Fly black hearts
Into the sky
Weґre never meant to fall
And weґll touch all the lost
Start to see start to feel
Fly black hearts
Into the sky
Weґre never meant to fall
And weґll touch all the lost stars
Zaire ran to the dorms to meet Signas and Marionetta. Suddenly, he heard the song from Signas' dorm. While at Signas' dorm, Signas and Marionetta rested on the floor. The music player is playing the music. Zaire knocked the door.
"Marionetta, you open the door." Signas ordered.
"I'm #$ *ing tired. You open the door." Marionetta groaned.
Signas rolled his eyes. He got up and walked to the door. He opened it for Zaire.
"Yo! Nas, Mari, do you have slumber party or making out?" Zaire asked.
"Do you think it's a $/^#y party to you?" Marionetta glared at Zaire.
"Marionetta, don't say that. No, Zaire. We got exhausted by the training." Signas replied kindly. He lied back on the floor.
Zaire looked down at them. "Wow! You two are really, hyper exhausted." he commented.
"Hell #$ ^ing yeah! Our bodies are one hundred percent in pain." said Marionetta.
Zaire went closer to Marionetta. He turned Marionetta and massaged her back.
"Whoa! Hey! What the- Oooooooh!" Marionetta felt relaxed and likes his massage.
"Zaire, why did you massage Marionetta's back?" Signas asked.
"Mari's muscles are sore. So, I massaged her. So, I gave a massage for remove muscle pain from training and for athletes that they are working hard. Just like NEKOMARU NIDAI. He's the 'Ultimate Team Manager' that supports the teams. I think I'm the 'Ultimate Masseur' because I have magic hands." Zaire giggled.
"Zzzzzzzz..." Marionetta snored and slept peacefully because of Zaire's massage.
"Guess Marionetta felt better. Next is you." Zaire smiled.
"Um... I don't think-"
"Don't worry; we're like brothers."
"Alright." Signas sighed.
(Remembering Sunday – All Time Low)
He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past 2 in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days
Zaire finished massaging Marionetta. Then, he is massaging Signas' back. Then again, he heard another song.
Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs
"Hmm? Is that the song from Night Falls?" Zaire asked.
"Yes, Night Falls is my favourite band. The songs are cool." Signas answered.
"You have CDs of them." said Zaire.
Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs, she led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in
Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me
"Yeah... But unfortunately, they're gone." Signas frowned.
"Gone... why?" Zaire was curious.
"Night Falls have a concert at Abel City for free because they want to sing for humans and reploids to make peace and fight for freedom from the mavericks. I was there because I'm a huge fan of them. Sadly, they were assassinated by the mavericks. The fans and the workers of Night Falls were killed but the others survived thanks to Hanade." Signas explained to Zaire.
Even though she doesn't believe in love,
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut
Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside
"Then... what happened?"
"The people said that Hanade is still at the backstage to save his friends. I rushed to the backstage but it was too late."
Forgive me, I'm trying to find
My calling, I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother,
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm going to ask her to marry me
"They all died." Zaire continued it.
The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, wherever she may be
"Correct. All I saw the blood-splattered dead bodies of band mates. I was very shock that my heart is broken but there's one person who survived. It's Hanade Skylor. He was hurt with his deep wounds and scared. I brought him quickly to the hospital. In hours later, they said that Hanade is gone. I wish I want to talk to him and become my friend." said Signas with a sad tone.
I'm not coming back (forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak (I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt, now the rain is just (You're driving me crazy, I'm)
Washing you out of my hair and out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world,
From so many thousands of feet off the ground, I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, and towering over your head
Zaire stopped massaging Signas' back. He was speechless about Night Falls' death. His tears came out.
"That's why I want to become a maverick hunter. I care for humans and reploids. If the mavericks are going to make worse, I'll protect the people and kick the mavericks' butts." Signas added. "Anyway... Zaire, why you want to become a maverick hunter- Huh?!" he noticed Zaire is crying. "Zaire, what's wrong?" he asked and got the tissue box from the cabinet. He gave it to Zaire.
Well I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home now...
I guess I'll go home
Zaire accepted it. He took out the tissue and wiped his tears. "I'm sorry. I was crying about your favourite band. Zaire was really happy that you tried to save him. All I know that you're a kind person. He will agree that he will be your friend. Being a fan is like watching your favourite band and become your imaginary friends but to befriend with your favourite band as a friend is much better than being a fan." he smiled.
"You're right. To be a friend is better than to be a fan." Signas nodded.
"Since you're a huge fan of Night Falls, do you know the names?" Zaire asked.
"Of course I do. The names are Gunter Slay the bass, Momo Weiss the drummer, and Lancelot Von the pianist and last but not the least, Hanade Skylor the lead singer and guitarist." Signas answered.
"Oh! You're really are huge fan. How about Hanade's real name?"
"Hanade's real name? I don't know. I searched it on the internet but his real name is not there."
"For me, I know. Hanade and I were friends."
"What?! Seriously! If it's a secret, my lips are sealed." Signas surprised.
"Okay! The real name of Hanade Skylor is..." Zaire made a drum roll on his armour. He answered, "Angelo Nightgale".
"That's his real name. It's very cool for a rocker." Signas commented.
"Oh really! Well, he likes to hide his identity for his popularity. Just promise that." said Zaire.
"I promise for Night Falls fans." Signas promised. They did the brofist.
Two days later...
The trainees are at the training system. Signas, Marionetta and Zaire were ready for the final exams. Lion Cyclone was standing at the stage.
"This is the final task of your training. Your final task of your exam is to defeat the mavericks in your way and save the real humans." Lion Cyclone said.
"What the! For real!"
"A real humans!"
"Is that okay to join the humans in this training?!"
The trainees were shocked that the humans came for the final exams as victims. Zaire took in silence.
"Alright! Bring your weapons ready!" Lion Cyclone yelled.
"Hey! Marionetta, what weapon did you choose? I used the buster." Signas asked.
"Just a simple lightsaber. I'm good at swordsmanship." Marionetta showed her lightsaber. She looked at Zaire's weapon. His weapon is long gun but it was no handle or trigger. "Zaire, is that a gun or a tonfa?" she asked.
"Oh! This? It's a surprise. I'll show you if we're on the exam." Zaire replied with a wink.
"Huh?" Signas and Marionetta confused.
"In the countdown, you will fight and save the humans... In the count of three... two...one-"
"WHOOOAAAAAAAHHH!"
"Um... Is that mean 'go'?" Zaire asked.
"No, you idiot! That's Dr. Cain's voice and he's in trouble!" Sigma shouted. He pointed at the huge robot and kidnapped Dr. Cain. The huge robot punched the walls and went out the MH HQ.
"$# /! We need the hunters to save him." Lion Cyclone suggested.
"Then, I'll go!" Zaire shouted. He ran to rescue Dr. Cain.
"Hey! What about the final exam?!" Signas asked and followed Zaire. Marionetta followed them too.
"Who cares the exam! Dr. Cain is in danger and a real human. Those 'humans' that Lion Cyclone said are fakes, like they are mechaniloids." Zaire explained the truth.
"Eh?!" Signas and Marionetta shocked.
At the park, the people ran away with fear. The huge robot held Dr. Cain tightly and the mavericks are surrounded. Zaire, Signas and Marionetta saw them.
"Holy $# ^! That's a lot of mavericks!" Marionetta shocked.
"More importantly, we need to save Dr. Cain before it's too late." said Signas.
Zaire followed and grabbed his weapon on his back. "I'll clean up the mess. You two will save Dr. Cain." he said.
"But Zaire, You can't fight them alone. They are too many." Signas worried at him.
"Don't cha worry... I killed many mavericks two years ago." Zaire smiled and walked into the crowd of mavericks.
(Welcome to the Black Parade – My Chemical Romance)
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the saviour of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them,
your demons, and all the non-believers,
the plans that they have made?"
"Because one day I'll leave you,
A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join The Black Parade."
The mavericks noticed him. They released the blades and chainsaws. They went closer to eliminate him.
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up,
would you be the saviour of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
Zaire smirked. He pulled the red handle and blue trigger. His weapon transformed into a shotgun. He was pulling the trigger and shooting at the mavericks with a big boom. The mavericks destroyed. Zaire pulled back his blue trigger and turned on his huge blade saber into a sword. He sliced all the mavericks in his way with spinning in the air, slashing with style and using his shotgun.
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
And other times I feel like I should go.
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
And when you're gone we want you all to know.
Signas and Marionetta jaw dropped that they amazed by Zaire's techniques and his weapon but they shook their heads because they want to rescue Dr. Cain first than watching the action.
We'll carry on,
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it.
Signas transformed his right hand into a buster. He blasted at the mavericks. Marionetta turned her red lightsaber and sliced at her enemies. They ran to the huge robot.
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all.
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
Signas pointed at the huge robot's right hand that it held Dr. Cain. "Marionetta, chop that hand and save Dr. Cain." he ordered.
"Sure, whatever!" Marionetta replied. She climbed at the huge robot by running. She jumped high and chopped the huge robot's hand. The huge robot let Dr. Cain go. Dr. Cain was falling but saved by Marionetta. She carried him and landed on the safe ground. She put Dr. Cain down gently.
To carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
Signas ran and blasted at the huge robot with his buster. The huge robot is not getting weaker. "Shoot! It's no good. I need help!" he shouted.
"Just a sec! Dr. Cain, stay safe." said Marionetta and ran to help Signas.
"Hmm?!" Zaire noticed Signas while he was on a fight. He transformed his sword into a death scythe and sliced all the mavericks. All the mavericks are dead. Zaire ran to help Signas.
On and on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
Take a look at me cause I could not care at all
The trio are back together. They looked at the huge robot. The huge robot attacked them but they dodged it.
"So, Megatron is still up. What now?" Zaire asked.
"I don't know. He's big as a building. That maverick really needs to shut down." Marionetta answered.
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I! don't! care!
Signas is finding the weak spot of the huge robot. He looked at the two cores from the huge robot's chest and neck. As he realized that he found it. "I have an idea! I'll shoot the chest! Marionetta, chop the legs! Zaire, off with that head!" he shouted. He charged his buster and pointed at the huge robot.
"Okay!" Marionetta and Zaire answered.
Signas fired his buster at the huge robot's chest core. Marionetta and Zaire rushed to the huge robot.
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
Marionetta gave a ginormous slice at the legs. The legs and crest of huge robot destroyed. Zaire spun his scythe and placed the pointer on the ground. Pulled the trigger to make him fly at the sky.
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on)
He's going down, raised his scythe and chopped the huge robot's neck. The huge robot annihilated by Signas, Marionetta and Zaire.
Do or die, you'll never make me (We'll carry on)
Because the world will never take my heart (We'll carry on)
Go and try, you'll never break me (We'll carry)
We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on)
"Yehey! We did it!" Zaire cheered.
"Glad that's over. Those mavericks are very hellish but they're gone. The huge robot is the one who behind this garbage." Marionetta pointed at the dead mavericks. "Good news: No injured or dead citizens here." she added.
"Yeah... Zaire, your weapon is really fantastic. Who made it?" Signas asked.
"Who made it?! It is obvious. It was me, of course. SSS is my creation." Zaire grinned.
"Whoooooa!" Marionetta and Signas surprised.
"Yup! SSS means 'Shotgun, Sword and Scythe'. It's three weapons in one." Zaire replied.
"Oh! We should go back to the HQ because we didn't take the final exam." Marionetta remembered.
"Crud! We're just focusing to save Dr. Cain. I hope Lion Cyclone gives a second chances." said Signas.
"There is no second chance..." Dr. Cain walked towards to the trio with serious expression. The trio got nervous, sweating and gulped because they think that they failed. "Because you three passed the final exam." Dr. Cain continued with a truthful smile.
Signas, Marionetta and Zaire surprised that they passed the final exam.
"Really! Oh! Thank you! Thank you! My mom is really happy that I passed the exam." Zaire cheered and gave Dr. Cain a big hug.
"Oh my gosh! That means we become hunters?" Marionetta asked.
"Certainly! You saved my life. Thanks to you three. You made a great teamwork. Signas, you have leadership skills. Marionetta, You're the first woman with courage to join the hunters. Zaire, I'm very impress that you invented three-in-one weapon." Dr. Cain smiled.
"Yes! It's my gen-u-wine main weapon." Zaire smiled.
Sigma and Lion Cyclone came in at the nick of time. They were dumbfounded that they saw many dead mavericks.
"Who? Who did this?!" Sigma asked.
"Signas, Marionetta and Zaire defeated all of them, even that Megatron. Additionally, they passed the test and became hunters because they saved me and no humans or reploids got harm." Dr. Cain explained.
"Well, it's your choice. I'm glad that you're alright." said Lion Cyclone.
"Congratulations! you're officially joining the maverick hunters, Maverick Hunter Signas, Maverick Hunter Marionetta, and Maverick Hunter Zaire." Sigma congratulated them.
In the night at MH HQ, all the hunters are having a party. The music is playing. The graduated hunters are dancing together. Signas is watching them. Marionetta came in and brought two glasses of red wine. She gave it to him. Signas accepted it.
"Great party, eh?" Marionetta asked.
"Indeed. Be sure that we're NOT going to get drunk by alcohol." Signas warned.
"Oh, Sigy! It's a party. We can relax tomorrow. You're really excited to get to work as a hunter." Marionetta laughed. She noticed Zaire brought a bouquet of red roses. "Looks who's here. Zaire, who's your lucky girl?" Marionetta asked with a smirk.
"No one. Lion Cyclone gave me this for passing the test. I have no idea why but he's a sweet guy after all." Zaire answered.
"I didn't know he's a nice guy that gave you gifts." Signas raised a brow.
"Lion Cyclone gave the roses to you? It supposed to be men's magazine, perfume, watch or any cool stuffs. Is he courting you?" Marionetta wondered.
"I really love red roses. They're so beautiful. Besides, I'm going to my dorm to place the roses to the vase. I'll be back." Zaire smiled. He went to his dorm alone.
"I should thank him." Signas said.
"For what?" Marionetta asked.
"He's the reason why we passed the test and became our friend."
After Zaire placed the roses in the vase at his dorm, he went outside of the balcony. The wind blew a breeze. The moonlight shines and the stars came out with a wonderful night. It was very peaceful place. Zaire took off his helmet with shades, revealed his short, spiky black hair and blue eyes. He placed helmet in the table. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
(Nanairo no compass - Uta no prince sama)
Ah… Kimi dake ni todoke
Kono kaze no oto yo Feeling heart…
Mou nakanakute ii yo sono mama de ii
Sora wo mite Ah… My sweetest love
Zaire sang a song. His voice is like angel of the night. The moonlight shined down to Zaire.
Blue… aoku kagayaku hoho wo tsutau sono shizuku
Rise… shitte ita kai? Asu e no hikari dato
Truth… kimi wa tabun ne jibun wo mada yoku shiranai
Sono namida wa kitto kimi wo michibiku niji ni naru
He likes to sing all alone. It was his secret talent that no one heard him. Only his decreased friends heard him.
Nagai tabi ni kogoeru nara
Ah… uta de atatamete ageru yo
Kimi ga negau koto no zenbu ga hoshi ni naranai kamoshirenai
Dakedo shinjiru yume de areba
Ikusen aru yozora no ichiban kirameku hazu no houseki saa
His tears came down because he is sad that he misses them. Someone went closer to him.
"That was a nice song, Angelo." he said.
Zaire's eyes widened by a shock. He looked behind but suddenly kissed by a dark green reploid. They kissed deeply with their tongues dancing but Zaire punched him.
"Ow wow! You're stronger than before." the dark reploid smirked.
"RYDER! What the heck?! You're a reploid or just wearing armour?!" Zaire shocked.
"I'm a reploid now. You too, right?" Ryder raised a brow.
"..." Zaire turned around and never looked at him.
"Being a reploid is better than being a human. You know it, Angelo."
"Zaire..."
"Hmm?"
"Angelo is dead now, even Hanade. For now on, my name is Zaire and I'm an official hunter."
"Zaire? That's a cool name for a rock star like you. Nevermind! I like Angelo better because you're my fiancé-"
"I'M NOT YOUR #$ *ING FIANCE ANYMORE!" Zaire shouted and glared at Ryder. "Also, you're just my ex-boyfriend that left me dead with my dead band mates. You didn't save me. You're nothing but a jerk-" he didn't continue because Ryder pushed him on the ground.
"Sorry! I don't like the mavericks that they're going to kill me. I will give a 'forgive me' gift for you." said Ryder. He touched Zaire's weak shot.
Zaire gasped and moaned.
"Aw! You're so cute, Angelo." Ryder cooed and licked Zaire's neck.
"S-stop it!" Zaire cried.
Marionetta dashed and kicked Ryder away from Zaire. Signas helped Zaire to get up.
"Don't ruin Zaire's life, you drunk dork!" Marionetta hissed.
"Hmm! Well, I'll see ya later, Zaire." Ryder waved and threw a smoke bomb. The smoke covered him and disappeared.
"Hmph! A ninja reploid? That's weird." said Marionetta.
"Zaire, are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Signas asked. He checked on Zaire's body.
"I'm... I'm fine, really... He drank so much beer." Zaire answered. He grabbed his helmet with shades and wore it.
"Better be careful next time. He's mistaken that you're a girl." Marionetta warned.
"But Zaire is clearly a boy." Signas reminded.
"Yeah... I should go to sleep. Thanks for saving me." Zaire smiled and walked away.
Signas and Marionetta were watching Zaire go. They're just standing at the balcony but someone broke the silence.
"Have you notice Zaire's hair and eyes?" Signas asked.
"Huh! Of course... Zaire's hair is short, spiky and black. His eyes are blue. He looks like Hanade from Night Falls but his hair is much longer than Zaire. Nah! They're just doppelgangers. Some people can be same or different styles." Marionetta replied.
"I see... I think we should go back to the party. Zaire looks exhausted right now. We should hang-out with him tomorrow." said Signas.
Signas and Marionetta went back to the party. While, Zaire walked to the hallways. He's still smiling but from his inside, sad because he remembered his horrible past, his first love turned a traitor. At his dorm, Zaire lied on his capsule and hugged his pillow. He began to cry.
"Why...? I loved you... but you betrayed me..."
To be continued...
Well, the part 2 is on next month… I think. This story is about the past of Signas, Marionetta and Angelo.
