Note One

After the Jakob Project incident, the world is in serenity but the mavericks are still exist from their hatred to humans and rampage in many crimes. With the maverick hunters, they will eliminate the mavericks and protect the people with the power of justice.

Axl, the junior maverick hunter woke up and recovered from the coma in one year that Lumine attacked his helmet crystal. Now, he promoted as S-rank hunter and went back to work with his partners, X and Zero. He hoped that he didn't turn into a maverick from Lumine's attack and be very careful of his action.

(Re:Re - Asian Kung-Fu Generation)

On Friday Night, Axl is in night patrol while riding on his ride chaser. He checked every places that the mavericks are going to do berserk. Since none of the mavericks didn't do anything yet, Axl decided to stop at the StarBucks to have a coffee break. S'mores Frappuccino is Axl's favourite Frappuccino and he bought. Axl went outside and put his headset to listen the music. Sat on his ride chaser and enjoyed drinking his Frappuccino.

"Yo! Axl, what's up!" his friend, Patrick AKA 'Perman' greeted as he parked his ride chaser at the parking lot, next to Axl's ride chaser.

"Hey there, Perman! Any news?" Axl asked as he removed his headphone.

"Nope. I checked the west side of the city but there's no single maverick on the loose. Meaning, no fights," Perman answered with a sigh.

"Good thing no one is harm. Mavericks aren't appear every day, you know. Only investigations or somewhere that they are hidden," Axl said.

"Also, paperwork and research. X is a workaholic. Zero trained the hunter trainees but he gives them a torture training," Perman giggled.

"Zero is a cool guy and trained the A-rank or S-rank hunters. X trained the rookies. Additionally, Red taught me that every person you fight with isn't easy and fair. Train hard, approve your abilities, learn something new, watch your enemy's movements, think for the plan or strategy and avoid any attacks or traps that you don't want to die... or in a coma again," Axl reminded but shivered at the end of the sentence.

Perman patted Axl's shoulder. "Don't worry, Axl. It won't happened again. Besides, you're okay and no virus on you," he said with a smile.

"Thanks, dude," Axl smiled.

"No prob... Anywaaaaaaaay! Did you find your future girlfriend?" Perman asked.

"Not interested," Axl sighed as he's drinking his Frappuccino.

"Say whaaaat?! Dude! You have fan girls that screaming like 'Oh! Axl is so cute! He's hot! I want him to be my boyfie!' or something like that. Do you want to be forever alone?" Perman raised a brow.

"Not really. Those fan girls are just puppy love. They're going to fall in love with the other guys soon. I'm happy to be single, pull some pranks and awesome on my job. So, I have no interest in romance," Axl explained as he finished his drink. "Well, I'm done on my break. See ya later!" he threw the empty cup to the trash can and drove his ride chaser away.

"See ya!" Perman waved 'good-bye'.

While Axl's back to his night patrol, something's not to seem right. The two men went to a dark alley. Axl parked his ride chaser on the side walk and followed them by stealth like a ninja.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Look who's this," the man smirked.

"It's a lady. She got bruises. Should we bring her to the hospital?" his friend asked.

Axl looked that the men saw. It was a light blue haired girl with a white gem on her forehead. Her clothes were dirty and a little tore. The bruises and scars are in a bad shape. She was unconscious. Axl will wait for the men's decision so that he can help them.

"Maybe but she's pretty a good taste. We should make her a fuck buddy first," the man said with an evil giggle.

"Well, she's unconscious. Yeah! Let's do it. Just like the old times," his friend nodded.

Axl gasped that the two men are rapists. It's time to take an action. He pulled out his gun. When the man is going to grab the girl, Axl pointed at the wall and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit the wall, not the men. The two men noticed the impact and looked at the one who did it.

"Shit! Is that a maverick hunter?!" the man's friend shocked.

"Hey! We're not mavericks because we're humans. Now, go away! Shoo!" the man demanded as he made a sign for shooing him.

"No, you two should go away. I heard your conversation and I won't let you do it to her," Axl said angrily as he glared at them.

"We'll see about that!" the man shouted as he ran to him. To give him a punch.

Axl pulled his gun back and dodged the man's punch. As he grabbed the man's arm. He stepped on the man's chest and climbed on the shoulder. Twisted it and the man fell on the ground. He twisted his foot to hurt the man's back, like Lili's technique. The man felt the pain and can't get up.

"You bastard!" the man's friend yelled and going to another punch.

Axl ducked and hand-spin kicked on his legs to fall down. As both men defeated, Axl handcuffed them so that they don't go everywhere. He can't shoot them because he followed the rule of the maverick hunter that is 'do not kill the humans'. Since the men were weak to get up, Axl walked towards the girl at the dumpster. Crouched down and carried her.

"Miss? Wake up. Are you okay?" Axl asked curiously.

"Hmm... Granddad...?" the girl sleep talked and groaned in pain.

Axl felt melancholy for the poor girl that she misses her grandfather because her grandfather is very precious to her. Is her grandfather dead or sick or somewhere far away? He doesn't know but he has a same feelings as hers about misses his family, Red Alert. He hugged her gently to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'll help you to find your grandfather," Axl whispered.
