Rockman X Series: Prologue

Irregular Hunter Head Quarters

Commander X of the 17th unit was outside watching the sunset while sitting on the plains. X had just defeated Sigma again with the help of his companions Zero, and Accel.

"Zero…I know you're there so why don't you come out…?"

X started and Zero came out of the shadows. Zero, the commander of the special unit zero then said with an expressionless face

"We got peace again, just how long is it going to last this time until Sigma shows up again?"

"I don't know, Zero, as long as we even have peace for a while it's better than having no peace…"

By the time X had finished, Zero was sitting next to him on the plains.

"I guess you're right, why don't we go inside and get some rest? We just got back from defeating Sigma." Zero said as he got up as X nodded and reached out a hand for Zero to grab and pulled him up.

"I wonder…just how much longer until we defeat Sigma once and for all?" X said as he and Zero walked inside Head Quarters.

Alia was in the operating room waiting for X to come and see her. She was worried to death hoping X was okay, since she had feelings for him. Yes, feelings…true feelings. She had felt that feeling ever since she had met X. Alia truly loved him. Will and always love him even to the day she was shut down or killed. Alia was snapped out of her thoughts and saw X coming inside with Zero. X saw Alia and said

"Hey, Alia, did you miss me?' Alia walked toward X and Zero and nodded.

"I'm glad you're alright X…" Alia replied.

X smiled and walked over to Signas, their commanding officer.

"Good to see you and Zero again, X." Signas said and X nodded then replied, "Do you know where Axl has gone, sir?"

Since they had come back to head quarters, Axl was nowhere to be seen.

"No, I haven't, I was thinking you knew where he was. The boy can sure move around like the wind."

"Yes, he can…" X answered then turned to Zero who was just talking to Alia about information they had gathered such as maverick samples and such.

X sighed then turned to Zero after he greeted Signas good day.

"Zero, do you think Axl is up to something? He has been disappearing lately." X asked.

Zero didn't look at X but answered "The child is always like that, you know how youngsters are like these days."

"yeah, but…" X stopped short on his sentence knowing Zero was right, teens these days were always vanishing like thin air without telling anybody.

X shrugged his worries off and started thinking about different things and talked with Zero for some more time then went to recharge in his recharge capsule since it was 9:00 o' clock. Axl… what are you up to? X thought as he went to recharge mode and slept.

The next morning, X woke up and saw Alia next to him, with a worried expression.

"X, Axl is still reported missing, and there are rumors that he was last seen in the fields outside." X was worried now, he knew something was up with Axl and he was going to know what.

"Let's go find him, Alia."

"Alright, Zero's searching for him in the underground tunnel in the head quarters, you go to the fields and I'll check inside the head quarters." Alia started as she ran off to fine the teen boy.

"You caused a lot of trouble since you came here, Axl…" X said to the thin air as he got dressed in his civilian clothes and went searching for Axl.
