Chapter 2: The Transformers Appear
Alia was in the shower the morning after her and X made love. She was using a washcloth to try and wash the symbol off her lower back, but was having no luck.
"No use," said Alia. "It won't come off. It looks like it's made of ink, but it won't wash away."
Just then, X came into the shower with Alia and saw what she was doing.
"Alia," said X. "If you keep scrubbing yourself like that, you're going to do some damage."
Alia looked back at X, then put on a solemn look and said, "I'm trying to wash this... thing off of me. But it's not working."
X put on his own solemn look and said, "Well, at least with watching you have trouble, it shows I won't have any better luck doing it myself."
Alia stops scrubbing herself as X comes up to her, then wraps his arms around her. A shot later, and we can see X is covering the very front of Alia's breasts with his hands.
Alia then said, "You know, I noticed that the characters that surrounded your symbol looked the same as the ones on that artifact that was found on Mars."
"I noticed that, as well," replied X. "I wonder what they mean?"
"I don't know," said Alia. "If Gate and Dr. Doppler don't know, then there's no chance we'll know."
"Too true," said X.
After a bit of silence, Alia then asks, "What will we do if the others find out, X? They'll be so worried for us. I don't want them knowing about some fancy tatoo we both got."
"Simple," answered X with a smile. "We'll just keep them covered with our clothes and armor. They won't have to know that way. And we do our best to avoid any places where we're made to show some skin."
Alia smiled and said, "I guess that could work for now. But, I suppose we will have to tell them in the future."
"Yeah, let's don't trouble the others or ourselves right now," said X. "Let's just live our normal lives, right now."
After a bit of silence, Alia said, "Well, you're touching them right now, so go ahead and do what you do best with them."
"You know I'm going to," said X before he started to squeeze Alia's breasts.
Alia moaned from pleasure, and after a while, she wrapped her arm around the back of X's neck. She then turned her head so X and her could kiss one another.
After a while of that, we then see a display map of the area that the Maverick Hunter HQ is in, which then goes to a shot of the HQ, which then goes to a shot of the activity bustling in the place, to the activity in one area and finally, to a shot of X and Alia in their armor and clothes walking the halls and talking one another. Just then, a signal sounds off.
"Yes, that's them," says a sinister voice. "I can feel the power coming from them."
"Shall we go and invite ourselves to their front door," asked a raspy voice.
"No," said the sinister voice. "We shall draw them out. We want to make this as classy as possible."
"How do we go about doing that," asked a rather monstrous voice.
The sinister voice said, "Don't you worry. I've got a plan, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Meanwhile, the Maverick Hunters were eating in the cafeteria, and were all having a good time until a message came up over the intercom, which was from Signas as he said, "Attention, Maverick Hunters! We have a distress call coming through! Report to the Central Command Center immediately."
After hearing the message, the Maverick Hunters all scurried for the Central Command Center.
As they all got to the Command Center, Signas said, "Good, you all made it."
"What is it this time," asked X.
Signas said, "We got an S.O.S. not too long ago. Palette, do you remember what the message said?"
"Yes, I still have it," said Palette. "It says, 'Help! Rockslide occurred! Need assistance fast!"
"If it's a rockslide," asked Axl. "Why contact us? Why not contact the proper people to deal with such hazards?"
"That may be the case," Signas said. "But it's still our duty to help those in need."
"I'm with Axl on this one," said Zero. "I smell a trap here."
"Seems I'm not the only one," replied Blues. "Probably remnants of Dr. Wily's followers trying to get back at us, or at least getting back at X."
X then said, "It may very well be a trap, but we shouldn't ignore it. If they do happen to be followers of Wily, we should still go anyway. At least that way, we can deal with them properly."
"Good idea," said Signas. "X, Zero, Axl, Blues, Bass, Roll and Duo, I'm sending you guys out there to uncover the source of this message. We'll see if it's true or not. The message emanated from the canyon to the south of this building. Hurry there, and find out what's really going on. Understood?"
The group of seven replied, "Yes, sir!"
"Move out, then," said Signas.
After a while, the group left the HQ, with X in his Light Armor (or X1 armor) and riding on Rush, Zero, Axl, Blues, Bass and Roll on Ride Chasers, and Duo in his energy form.
Suddenly, we get another monitor viewing, but this one of the Hunters leaving the base.
We then hear a voice go, "Commander, it seems one of the two is leaving his base of safety. What should we do?"
A bold voice then replied, "No doubt 'he' is setting up a trap for them. We need to go after them. Can one of you pinpoint the location they're heading to."
"I think I can, Commander," came a female voice.
"Good," said the bold voice. "We need to hurry to where they're heading. No doubt they'll he'll need our protection, as will his friends."
After a while of traveling, the group arrived at the canyon where the S.O.S. came from. As they all disembarked the form of transportation, the Hunters and Rush looked around.
"Heh, I don't see a rockslide anywhere," said Bass. "This is already smelling fishy."
"Like I said, bro, I sense a trap at work here," replied Zero.
X said, "Let's keep looking. The message came from here, so something's abound to be here."
The Hunters and Rush walked forward to find the source of the message.
After a while of walking, X said, "You know, this really is starting to feel like a trap. We still have to find the source, but something tells me doing that will just invite trouble for us."
Just then, Rush, who saw something, started to bark over and over again.
"What is it, boy," asked Roll.
Axl then looked in the direction Rush was looking in, and saw a radar dish type device and said, "Look over there!"
Everyone saw the large device
"Well, how many canyons have one of those," asked Bass. "That must be source of the S.O.S."
"Yeah, but no rockslide," said Zero.
"Get your weapons ready, Hunters," commanded X.
As the hunters readied for an attack, the device sprung to life as it transformed into a giant, dark blue robot, making a distinct sound as it transformed.
"It transformed into a Reploid," asked Blues.
"Not impressive," said Zero. "We've already seen robots that can transform."
"Lord Megatron, this is Sound Wave," said the giant robot with a monotone voice. "I've lured out one of the targets. We're ready to set up the ambush."
"Ambush," asked Duo
"This was a trap," said Blues. "We better get out of here and fast."
"Halt," said Sound Wave. "Do not attempt to leave. You will be surrounded shortly."
"Like hell we won't leave," said Zero. "Let's get out of here!"
The Hunters and Rush began to run the other direction, but shortly, there was some forms of transportation coming towards them, including two jets (one red and one light blue), a tank, a helicopter and a monster truck.
"Starscream, transform," shouted the red jet as it transformed into a robot.
"Thunder Cracker, transform," shouted the light blue jet with a southern accent as it transformed into a robot.
"Demolisher, transform," yelled the tank, turning into a robot.
"Cyclonus, transform," yelled the helicopter, becoming a robot.
"Road Rage, transform," hollered the monster truck, also becoming a robot.
The Hunters then saw their path was blocked off by the robots.
"On no, we're trapped," said Roll out of panic.
Just then, X's eye began to glow, and the symbol on his back glowed though his clothes before he said, "I feel... something else coming."
"What are you talking about, X," asked Axl. "What's that glowing on your back?"
"Let's worry about that later, and focus on the now," said Zero.
Back in the Central Command Center, the navigators were having trouble trying to patch in through to the Hunters as Alia said, "I can't seem to reach them! Something's blocking the signal!"
"We have to keep trying," said Layer. "I just know they're in danger!"
Just then, Alia paused as her eyes began to glow, as did the symbol on her back, and she said, "I feel something... X is in danger... they're all in danger."
"Alia, are you okay," said Palette before she took notice of the symbol on Alia's back.
Back at the canyon, the Hunters heard another approach and the turned around to look, with X's eyes still glowing. They all saw a giant aircraft in the sky begin to land in front of them next to Sound Wave.
Before it landed, a voice shouted from it saying, "Megatron, transform!" The aircraft became a very mean looking robot.
As Megatron landed, and the Hunters were prepared to fight, Megatron said, "Good work, Sound Wave. Who knew it would be this easy to lure them out? Of course, I expected BOTH of them to be here, but no matter." Megatron then pointed at X and said, "It's time you came with us, but first, we're going to find your other half, and bring her with us."
X's eyes stopped glowing, then he put on aggressive look and said, "I've never met you before, but somehow, when you say 'my other half,' I get the feeling you're talking about Alia. There's no way you're going to get us, especially Alia! We've fought bigger than you all before, so I will put you down if you try anything with me!"
Megatron then just laughed maniacally and said, "You can try if you want, but you'll just end up failing. Go ahead, and try."
Megatron started to walk his way towards the Hunters, who looked back to see the other robots still blocking their path, then back at Megatron.
Suddenly a voice made Megatron stop that said, "Leave them alone, Megatron!"
Everyone looked up the canyon to see a red big rig on it, which then said, "Optimus Prime, transform," before also turning into a robot.
Megatron saw who it was, and said, "Ah, Optimus Prime, my old nemesis! I knew you would show up, eventually!"
"Megatron," said Optimus. "I knew you would feel the energy being given off by those two persons, and would attempt to steal it for yourself, Decepticon scum."
"And let me guess, you're here to prevent me doing that," asked Megatron. "Just like a good Autobot would do? You're pathetic, Prime! You know very well the power those two possess."
"Which is why I'm here to protect them," said Optimus. "Now, let them go or we fight."
"Then, I guess we fight, Optimus Prime," said Megatron.
"Very well, but just to let you know," Optimus said. "I didn't come alone."
"What in the world is going on here, and what does this have to do with X," asked Axl.
"I don't know," said Zero. "But I've got a feeling another war is about to happen."
To Be Concluded in Chapter 3.
