Maverick Hunter KLN 6
-Chapter 6 - Central White
Again folks the story is rated K+ or E10+ for everyone 10 and up for basic swearing and robot violence. Again I don't own E. Lied or Megaman X or any character appearing in any series. Now here's chapter 6 of Maverick Hunter KLN. Our heroes get in the chilling cooler now as Bando shows his face while spying on our hunters.

-Maple Inn- 6:14 AM
It was early morning on Saturday and Hunter Lucy was up early oddly enough she was fixing "Fruity Pancake Surprise" for her new friends as a surprise. The pink haired girl had her personal music player headset on blaring her tunes into her earholes. She was blaring Drowning pool's song Step Up as she cooked. As she worked she sang along w them.
"Broken, Yeah, you've been living on the edge of a broken dream. Nothing, Yeah, that's the only thing you'll ever take away from me!" Lucy then cracked the eggs needed for the special pancake mix into a bowl.
"I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna drop, Ain't no different than it was before!" The girl went mixing the in the dried figs, cherries, pineapple, and chopped apple bits with skin left on for fiber.
"So take some good advice, You better stop and think twice, Before you take your first step, Out that door!" She went back to the instruction sheet and reread it to be sure what she was doing. She almost forgot the carrot juice.
"If you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down). If you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down!" The girl sang along as she mixed the batter with a spoon. Once done she got out the orange juice to pour plus the toast and butter for decorative garnish.
"You had your chance to walk away. Live to see another day!" The girl checked and saw she was missing strawberries for the toast garnish rummaging she found some in the back. Palette got up to do her morning "nature call" she did every morning. The spry navigator clad in a creamy green tank top (several times over her size) had her long blonde hair in two huge fluffy ponytails set high on her head and saw the girl fixing food too much for herself when it hit her Lucy was making a surprise breakfast for the Inn all by herself. Pallette made herself gone not wanting to pester her friend at her work.
"If you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down). You're gonna get knocked down... !" The hunter continued to work she broke into an air guitar it was simply because she loved the song so much.
"Aaaaah... !" She said out loud going along.
"Suffering, Yeah, that's the only thing here that's left for you. Nothing, Yeah, that's the only thing you're ever gonna friggin' do!" The rosette haired lass censored herself not wanting to use the F-bomb.
"I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna drop, Ain't no different than it was before!" The rosette then turned on the griddle ready to start her surprise.
"So take some good advice, You better stop and think twice, Before you take your first step,
Out that door!" The girl spritzed the griddle with water checking it.
"So if you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down). If you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down!" Lucy then poured the batter onto the griddle.
"You had your chance to walk away. Live to see another day!" Checking her cakes for a second the girl went to pour the juice into the glasses she brought out.
"If you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down). You're gonna get knocked down... !" Setting out the plates was next and with four arms instead of the standard two the girl got it done quickly.
"You're gonna get knocked down... !" Checking her first cake batch she turned them over to cook even on the other side.
"And now you've crossed that line... You must be out your mind!" Lucy then checked the toast and buttered it.
"Go!" The girl got to the strawberries next slicing them length wise while setting them on the buttered toast.
"If you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down). If you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down!" She soon tended to the next batch of hotcakes to cook.
"You had your chance to walk away. Live to see another day!" Flipping the batch she then started cooking up the hash browns.
"If you wanna step up (step up), You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down). You're gonna get knocked down... ! " Keeping sure the hash wouldn't burn she flipped it then got out the milk to pour. She then turned off the hash browns. "You're gonna get knocked down (step up). You're gonna get knocked down... You're gonna get knocked down (step up). You're gonna get knocked... down!" Lucy finished her sing along while finishing the food up. The meal was finished.
-upstairs area Nana/Mayu's room
In a two bedded room the duo of Nana and Mayu were sleeping close together. Since Nana came to live there she found a kindred spirit in Mayu the girl with a hidden and possibly painful past she wanted to keep hidden from the others. The rose haired girl was snuggled next to the brunette all cozy under the rich green blankets until she smelled a scent like fruity bread. Nana decided to get her galpal up by first shaking her.
"Not now mother I'm tired it's the weekend lemme sleep in." The spry brunette grumbled a bit. Nana then tried a biff on the nose. "That smarts mom stop it now!" The girl continued dozing.
Nana was beside herself she couldn't get Mayu up when it hit her do it like in cartoons with a needle pin. "Sorry Mayu but get up and I mean get up right now." Nana shoved the pin right in the brunette's derriere.
"YEEEEEOOCHHHHHHH!" The grade school girl yelped out and leapt high into the air and landed hard on the floor. Rubbing her sore cranium and her still stinging butt Mayu got mad at the rosette. "The hell's yer problem Nanu what'cha hit me with a rail spike!?" Mayu was dressed in a long orange nightgown and boy did she look pissed like ready to blow a gasket.
"You wouldn't wake up so I tried "things" I saw on those Tom and Jerry TV cartoons." Nana sadly confessed sorry at poking her friend.
"Well don't pull that again I like my derriere unharmed it's my best feature at least the boys say so. Its Saturday I sleep in why'd ya get me up?" Mayu confessed rubbing the sore orifice until she took a whiff of something. "Ohh what is that yummy smell (sniffs) Nana it's coming from the kitchen c'mon let's get the others up." Mayu said sniffing the air.
The two pint sized kids went about waking up the others (X, Zero, Axl, Kohta's dad, Kanae, Yuka, Alia, Layer and Kohta himself) from their slumber. Needless the group still dressed in their night clothes (X in a sky blue t-shirt and navy PJ bottoms, Zero in a red tank with /blue shorts, Alia in a simple pink tank (showing off her bosom a bit) with black short shorts, Axl in a black tank with matching shorts, Layer was dressed in a fancy lavender nightgown, Kohta himself in a grey t-shirt with grey plaid boxers, Yuka in green plaid PJ bottoms and a violet tank top, and finally Kohta's dad in a simple set of beige top and bottoms) as their noses were under attack from the delicious scent. "Sis do ya smell that?" Kohta said sniffing the scent.
"Yes I do its delicious whatever it is. It's coming from the kitchen gang." Kanae said pinpointing the scent's location.
"Hey wait I know that scent it can't be that... C'mon X, Layer, Alia, Axl let's go check it out." Zero said starting down the stairs to the kitchen.
-kitchen
The whole gang came down the stairs to see Lucy finishing her touches on the large breakfast which apparently she had prepared by herself. The meal had orange juice, milk, fresh pancakes which smelled absolutely divine, hash brown potatoes, and finally buttered toast with sliced strawberries.
"Food in the raw I done a good job on this if I do say so myself." Lucy said mentally patting herself on the back and saw the large group there behind. "Ahh sleepy heads are up don't just stand there dig in I made the whole thing... Wait where's Pallette oh Pallette get yer petite Reploid butt up."
Pallette had been feigning her sleep and the spry navigator clad in a creamy green tank top (several times too large) had her long blonde hair in two huge fluffy ponytails set high on her head and was rubbing her eyes getting the sleep out of them. "What Luce its Saturday I have a few hours off today what's the big (sees food) Ooh foodie food!" Pallette squealed like a little girl.
"Like I said dig in and stuff yer faces." Lucy said clanging her used pans a bit.
-facility
Meanwhile at the facility a suited man stood at his desk in thought over something his raven black hair was a bit messy and his simple glasses shone a bit. "Miss Kitaragi send Bando in now please." The man said to the intercom.
As on command the office doors opened revealing a tall toned man in his 30's wearing a dark jacket w tank underneath with combat pants. His eyes were covered by thick black shades.
"Well here I am sir what's the job you want done?" The man named Bando asked the suit.
"Your mission simple kill Maverick Hunter Lucy and retrieve my little Nana back here by any means." The suit spoke back.
"Maybe these hunters aren't the real villains like Omega and Lucifern say they are Kurama." Bando responded back.
"Bando yer a fool tell that to Gigavolt Man-O-War he was killed in just a few minutes at the offshore plant." Kurama retorted back.
"After he attacked the place... why do you trust these two benefactors so much how can you trust them so easily you hardly know them. I haven't even met them yet they won't even show you their faces sounds untrustworthy to me like they're hiding something." Bando asked the suited Kurama.
"They seem to enemies with that girl Lucy and anyone who hates the Diclonii like I do is my ally. This Omega and Lucifern seem to be on top of the situation therefore I trust them." Kurama said to the man.
"Kurama get it though yer thick plated skull she's dead Nana's gone Lucy killed her and probably hid the body or blew it up." Bando spoke with venom in his voice.
"Dammit just do the job ya bum and do it now now go out of my office." Kurama said getting royally pissed off.
Bando then got up and left the room and sat beside the wall scoffing at the directors stubbornness at getting Nana back safely. "Boy that guy's a jackass he knows Nana's dead so why have me look for the horned brat. (looks into the sky) I'm being punished ain't I?" Bando asked the sky not expecting an answer.
However meanwhile elsewhere in the building the whole atmosphere was in an eerie mood like a spell had been cast putting the workers on edge. In the nearby lounge three well dressed ladies were taking a coffee break. They had identical clothes with the exception of one detail the dress and blouse coloring the honey blonde haired girl had a blue blouse top and long green dress, while the redhead had a yellow blouse and grey dress, and the brunette had a creamy orange blouse and white dress.
"Oh shit I forgot about director Kurama's Reploid benefactor's French Roast coffee." The honey blonde girl's other companions cringed at the thought of "French Roast" coffee. The girl then poured the stuff into a cup and went out the doorway.
"French Roast that guy's drinking that sludge he's gotta have a gaping hole in his brain. Kitaragi he's gotta be nuts to drink that crap." Said the redheaded lady to the first girl named Karumi Akagi who slipped out the door. "Ahh never mind she didn't hear me."
"Yeah Jacqui that stuff should be used as a bio-weapon it'll kill anything by internal rot." The brunette said to the redhead named Jacqui.
"Good point Haruka really good point." Jacqui said back to Haruka.
Kitaragi ran along the halls dodging the various workers right and left while trying not too drop the coffee for the director's friend. That is until she ran into someone and fell like a ton of bricks on the floor though she somehow held the coffee from spilling. She looked up at the figure she rammed into some armored guy wearing a black inverted visored helmet. But the other armor was very odd too: it was white on the chest with green bits above and below a central sky blue hexagonal gem. The shoulder pads were white with green tips. The arms had a grey upper arm with a white armored lower part. His torso was covered by a grey suit. The only other white on him was the long armored leg guards and feet.
"Uh oh crap." Kitaragi gulped to herself.
"Hmmm I see my coffee's ready my dear (holds out opened palm) hand it over please." The masked guy said to her in a raspy voice almost girly in tone. The figure removed the helmet's buckles and set on the floor and his face appeared. His bright lavender hair was fan shaped and his pale face was adorned w/cold golden eyes.
"Oh it's you Lucifern you scared me shitless don't do that. What's w/the helmet sir?" Karumi asked the boy.
"I was testing out a new tool for VR research its very technical you wouldn't understand heads or tails of it." Lucifern explained to the scared girl.
"Ohh oh technical oh well more power to you then I guess. Here's yer coffee Mr. Lucifern sir." Karumi handed the boy his coffee to drink and he began sipping it.
"Ahh French Roast my favorite thank you Miss Kitaragi you may leave me now." Lucifern said motioning for the young woman to leave him be and the girl swiftly got out of there.
-lounge
Miss Kitaragi was genuinely creeped out by the Lucifern guy something about him was off like he as evil or some demonic hell spawn come to conquer the world.
"I'm telling you both something about that guy is evil. Jacqui Haruka you don't think I'm crazy do you?" Kitaragi asked her galpals who scoffed at her idea.
"Wasn't you who said in 4th grade that the jello desert was alive and going to eat us because of the wierd frosting?" Haruka said bringing up an old event.
"Plus weren't you the one in second grade who said the principal was an alien mastermind?" Jacqui said bringing up another old event.
"But.. but Jacqui Haruka I um dargh I'm not crazy here. You don't get it I saw the guy myself I saw how evil he looked!" Kitaragi said to her non-listening friends.
-forest-
To say Bando was mad was an understatement he was solid pissed off he had searched the beachfront and came up short only finding bits of metal here and there (taken for study later). He traveled to the Dynasty Sub Surface Ocean Current Generating plant (DSSOCG) located 4 miles off Yokohama's coastline for answers on the power draining jellyfish that attacked the area. Again no answers just that some armored kids had defeated the guy and sped off into the distance. Also there were witnesses who say some pink haired girl was fighting in the court yard near an Inn. But he hadn't found anything at all not even a blood droplet.
Bando then moved his base of operations to the forested hills around the Inn grounds the man decided to do surveillance on the place see what he was dealing with at least.
"This is really sucking eggs I haven't found anything here maybe I should just pack it in (hears voices further down) Ahh the predator finds his prey let's see what they're doing down there." The combat ready man said while spying with his binoculars on the group's activities.
-Inn grounds
Coming from the building was a set of three girls varying widely in appearances: the shortest was a petite brunette with a long sleeve orange shirt and simple jean shorts. The second was but couldn't be but was Nana after all the hunter should recognize his target. She was alive but she might still be being held captive the ruthless hunters as some prize. Nana wore a long pink sun dress with black tight fitting pants underneath. The last girl must be the one called Lucy dressed in a cut-off (stopping at just below her ribcage/she also had a navel piercing) pale pink tank top (showing her well developed bosom) and short jean shorts stopping at her mid to upper thigh very short indeed. They ran around the grounds lightly tapping each other playing tag?
"Tag yer it!" The tall girl cried out.
"No tag yer it!" Nana called out.
"Wait, wait she's it!" They both said going after the small girl who ran.
"No fair no fair using Vectors you two no fair!" The young brunette girl squealed at being tagged unfairly by the two horned girls. The three finally quit their game and went back into the building. Bando watched waiting for them to come back out but they didn't and the man made some notes of this little scene he had watched.
"Nana it's impossible she's dead but she's right there in front of my eyes I gotta get down there and scope it out a bit." The man said hiding along the way down and eventually making the way down to the Inn. However Bandoh's attention was diverted to the large vehicle in front of him. The vehicle itself was dark blue with red accents, with six almighty tires, and a large detector dish situated on the roof. It looked like some kind of military machine.
What would college kids be doing with something like this? Course he had to remember the Hunters were here and likely owned it using it for battles and what not. Looking around to see if anyone was around he snuck up to the vehicle and inspected it it was like some unknown model or possibly a prototype for testing. Oddly the vehicles doors were open revealing the interior.
"I should check it out see what I'm dealing with here... " The man stepped into the vehicle and was astounded by the advanced technological devices. The van had a teleporter pad, an advanced GPS system, computer interfacing/hacking system, view screen, plus other devices he couldn't place at for purpose, the whole works.
But then he heard voices from the inn he had to hide and he found a console near a screen to hide himself. The voice got closer and he could tell it was a young girl.
"Axl ooh that Axl I hope he didn't forget that datapad (sees datapad) shit he did forget. I swear he's like a seven year old in a 15 years olds body (balls up fists) ohh!" The girl said angrily and she turned around and Bando stole a peek at her. She was young only 9 to 12 in age. What was she doing in some government bounty hunting team like the Hunters? The girl was dressed in a white t-shirt splashed with neon green splotches and little short jean shorts (skimpy enough?). Her light blonde hair was worn in two huge fluffy ponytails set high on her head. Her bright green eyes had a look of disgust in them like she was mad.
"AXLLLLL! Come here ya lazy hunter! NOW!" The girl shouted for the kid named Axl and the kid no older than 15 years with sapphire eyes wearing a slate grey tank top with black shorts. His flaming red shoulder long hair stuck out like a sore thumb.
"Well, well, well , my dear, dear Pallette I come at last my sweet." Axl said sweetly to the Pallette girl. He received a shock as Pallette was running at him readying a punch. "Uh-oh... "
Pallette decked Axl so hard he was sent flying into a metal table and landed on it putting a huge dent in it. "The hell was that for?" Axl asked while putting on a whipped puppy face.
"I told you six times to get that stupid datapad for me but did you do it no you didn't!" Pallette said viciously to Axl. Palette heard something nearby to them. "Axl do you hear that? Like human breathing."
"Huh wait a minute I hear it its faint but the schmoe must tryin' to hide in here wonder where?" Axl asked out loud and Bando knew he was busted time to act now.
"HERE I AM!" Bando yelled as he grabbed Palette and put her into a heavy neck-hold and pointed a gun at her chin while Axl looked in shock at the sight.
"AHH! AXL HELP ME STUPID!" Palette cried out and Axl tried to get around the guy only for him to get wise.
"Don't even think about it kid if ya move I'll blow her head off! Yeah back off kid now!" Bandoh snarled at Axl who just gritted his teeth in frustration while backing off.
"Oh really ya punk deal with this then!" Palette slammed her elbow into Bando's gut knocking the wind out of him and temporarily knocking him over while Axl took his gun and threw it over a ways while grabbing Bando's collar and lifting him.
"Alright ya jacked up punk what did Pallette ever do to you huh?" The redheaded kid shouted furiously at the man.
"You Maverick Hunters are evil! That's what the director said you've been holding Nana prisoner! I'll kill you all!" Bando fumed at the two young Reploids.
"X we need help here right now!" Palette shouted at the inn front.
-soon begin Faint by Linkin Park
Soon the whole group was staring down some jacked up jackass spying on them now in Electrum bonds he wasn't going anywhere plus the jerk he tried to shoot Palette's head off like she was some criminal. The group saw he was in his 30's wearing a dark jacket with a tank underneath with combat pants. Nana took one glance at him and knew who he was in an instant.
"B-b-b-Bando how'd you get here?" Little Nana asked the man.
"Nana ya know this jackass?" Lucy asked her smaller rosette comrade.
"Of course she does she's daddy Kurama's little girl. Hell I thought she was dead boy was I wrong Nana is alive. What'd ya do brainwash her!" He shouted at the Hunters while Layer smacked his forehead with a crack making Bandoh wince.
"She's completely unharmed not like what yer boss has been doing to her you scum-ball." Layer growled at the man wearing her low cut plum blouse and beige khaki pants with her violet locks braided away from her delicate face (and had medium plump lips) and her olive eyes shone with anger.
"The Maverick Hunters aren't evil you jerk X, Zero, Axl, and Lucy saved me and my cousin's lives plus the DSSOCG plant. They've been great friends and housemates how dare you attack her!" Kohta yelled at Bando fuming in rage something he had never done and it scared the girls. "Sorry girls I lost it there."
"I'm just doing my job kid don't get fresh with me or you'll disappear straight off the map so don't screw with me!" Bandoh threatened Kohta only to get mouthed back by Zero.
"Who're you to make threats to him buster yer shackled up! If you weren't a human I'd pummel you into next week." Zero fumed at the middle aged assassin who hated being spoke back to like this.
"You hunters are murderous freaks plus you have that thing here in the pink cut off. Lucy's a dangerous psycho! Yer all nuts to keep her around here she'll go berzerk at a hair trigger!" Bandoh barked.
"You ignorant piece of... I oughtta deck you." Said a blonde woman in a fluffy pink long sleeve shirt and hip hugger blue jeans. "Lucy's an excellent hunter you could learn a lot from her if ya gave her a chance! I've known this girl from when she was a 7 year old child X, Zero and I raised this girl ripe with morals something you need buster!"
"Yeah you idiot I wouldn't even hurt a fly unless it's a mosquito of course. I am not violent unlike some of my brothers and sisters locked up in that place! If ya ask me yer the dangerous one trying to blow off Palette's head! You oughtta be ashamed of yerselves I bet some of those Diclonii are harmless and just want some love!" Lucy spat at the ignorant man.
"Further more just who ordered Kurama to kill Lucy anyways?" Asked a spiky brown haired man in a deep blue t-shirt and dark navy jeans.
"His new "benefactors" I've never seen them however but they're named Omega and Lucifern." Bandoh confessed to the blue clothed man.
"Mavericks they're here but how though? Alia, Palette, and Layer get to work in these benefactors at the facility Kurama is getting orders from I want answers to this whole ongoing fiasco." The man ordered the violet, pink, and green wearing girls to the rover when the alarm klaxons go off and wail loudly.
"Uh-oh shits hit the fan and shit is going down!" Axl spouted off his trademark alarm-attention-getter-call-speech as that's what he called it.
Alia went to the console panel and typed up the incoming info on the Maverick's presumed location when suddenly she seemed freaked out. "What this can't be right the Maverick reading is coming from the South Antarctic Storage Facility near the south pole."
"Won't be no problem Alia Lucy and I'll get it done perfect." Zero said activating his crimson armor while the rosette did the same much to a shocked Bando. The armored girl took a glance at Alia.
"The frigging south pole dammit damn Mavericks can't even choose someplace warm to fight at (snorts) god. I'll catch my death of freezing there." Lucy complained.
"Ahh quit whining like a sissy girl." Axl joked and got a smack to his face via Lucy's Vector. "OUCH!"
"I'll be dealing with you later c'mon Zero into the cold dead south we go!" Lucy spouted off at Bando a bit angrily while turning on her heel and running after the red armored blonde man.
-outside
The two hunters were armored up and ready to head south way south to find the Maverick causing chaos at the South Antarctic Storage Facility. The two went to the teleporter pad and vanished with ride chasers in hand while Palette pressed the activation command.
-Antarctic central wastes
The two hunters were soon speeding along the cold icy wastes of interior Antarctica the cold bottom of the world. Zero decided to keep up contact with his female Diclonius ally.
"Luce how ya holdin' up? It's really cold here keep up yer thermal heat wiring it it'll really help." Zero said speeding along ahead a bit with the girl girl following.
"Te-te-te-te-tell me a-b-b-bout it I'm f-r-r-reezing here lets g-g-g-g-it it done fast before I turn into a p-p-p-p-p-p-popsicle!" Lucy stuttered freezing in the cold polar air.
Then the comm. link came on it was Alia. "You target is code named Avalanche Yeti. He's a master of snow combat so be careful. Watch out crevasses on the way good luck down you two Alia out."
"You heard yer mother let's go do it." Zero said speeding up ahead.
"R-r-r-r-right (shivers) shit I'm cold. It's cold as hell down here." Lucy shivered.
Soon the dyad were doing the basics blasting enemy drone Mechaniloids and Reploids of the latter were Rider Chasers in the "Kelpie" type. After blasting the almost endless waves of the bad biker mechs the two sped over various cracks and crevasses in the icy wastes. Then more Kelpies showed up and were defeated as the two worked as a team to cover each other. Zero's bright red armor and blazing blonde hair was an odd splash of color in the endless white expanses. Lucy's rich rose hair flew in the high icy wind as she sped along. But some thought plagued her mind who was Kurama taking his requests from? Was Sigma involved and if so how did he get here without being detected by the Hunter base?
The duo's thought were interrupted by Alia again. "Warning there's a massive Mechaniloid coming your way all data points to one device The Rave Manta. You'll have to disable that if you want to get to Yeti otherwise the Kelpies will just keep on coming. My analysis shows the Manta can carry over 600 Kelpies at once."
Indeed there was something coming something big something big violet and shaped like a huge mechanical stingray. It had to be the size of a large building and was hovering toward them ready to take on challengers. It was the Rave Manta alright.
"How did Yeti get that thing here in the first place!" Lucy spat out in panic.
"Who knows how Mavericks do things let's wreck it c'mon!" Zero said back to her.
-begin Powerman 5000's song Bombshell
The Rave Manta then sent out a barrage of Kelpies to take out the two hunters only for the mechs to be defeated and blasted into pieces. The Manta then changed tactics sending out glowing electrified pink plasma balls. The first volley was avoided but the next did some damage to the bikes and the two hang back for a minute figuring out the next move. The two set off a barrage of fire on the Manta only for the shots to miss as the machine was too far out of range.
"Ok long range ain't working up close and personal then?" Zero asked the young woman hunter who flipped opened her mouth plate and smiled in delight.
"Which means we get in its face... nice!" Lucy squealed in a girly tone at the idea.
The two hunters sped up to maximum speed going turning off to a high cliff launching off it and sent off a barrage of fire on the Manta's front section. The fire shattered through the cockpit glass and several shots tore into, damaged, and destroyed various important navigational equipment and the cockpit burst into flames and exploded while the hunters rode along the Manta's back and landed safely on the icy ground as the huge machine slammed into the ice fields and blew up in a huge fireball and the two hunters sped away continuing the mission.
"Maverick Hunters Lucy and Zero one Rave Manta zippo alright! Let's get that mountain monkey!" Lucy shouted into the cold wind at the resulting victory.
Soon after 15 more minutes of driving along the two had arrived at the South Antarctic Storage Facility. Slowing to a stop the two got off the bikes and stepped over the building the was door was unlocked strange. Lucy made a glance at Zero which meant "be careful here". Zero nodded back at her.
The two went inside the building seeing various test tubes, beakers, Petri dishes lying around broken. Glass shard were everywhere scattered about and computer screens cracked and shattered. Furniture, the microwave, stove, and chairs were tossed around like toys. Lucy saw a paper document lying near a glass shard she picked it up and read it. "We have succeeded in cryogenically freezing the dreaded and most vicious Diclonii in the cold stasis. Hopefully they should be here for a long, long time without killing anyone. (Lucy speaks) Those bastards I'll bust their tails for this! Zero they were experimenting on them they call themselves people... "
Zero knew Lucy was pissed it was best just to let her fume it out. "C'mon Luce we'll get 'em somehow but right now let's get that abominable bionic snowman."
-station bowels
The two had gotten through several door sets and finally to the last two they hoped opening it the two saw a very dark room and the two stepped and fell a few several feet mind downward into light fluffy snow with harder and heavily frozen snow underneath it. The two hunters looked around in the still darkness until the lights came on revealing the whole room was very large while various mechanical components were scattered all over the room in broken status.
Then all attention was diverted to the snow in front of them as the whole spot shook, rattled, and rumbled and then jumping out came Avalanche Yeti himself. His white armored body had various parts resembling clear ice. A large speed jet pack was on his back. His feet were in fact caterpillar tracks meaning he showed no problem with the deep hard snow. His face had a red spike of a nose like a carrot on a snowman.
"Ahh Hunters you arrive here at last You come here to stop my plans yes?" Yeti asked in a deep and thick Russian accented voice. "How were my troops did you they entertain you enough my dear?"
"I'm lucky I didn't get hypothermia out there you stupid monkey." Lucy spat at Yeti who took offence to being called a monkey.
"I am not a monkey I am an ape. Don't you understand Lucy what we're trying to do... to create a new world to "fix" things as they stand." Yeti confessed to the girl hunter. "And Zero truly you understand what we're trying to accomplish here you still have potential I see it in yer eyes."
"The thing yer "fixing" is the deaths of hundreds of innocent people of this world. Besides what do you maniacs see in me anyways aside from being turned into potential junk metal that is." Zero responded back.
"Such petulance I'll "fix" you then." Yeto said powering up his massive white body.
"Screw this talking let's melt him to a watery puddle Zero. I'm cold, I'm cranky, and tired I wanna get this job done quickly." Lucy said angrily out loud.

The over sized yeti robot charged the two hunters who leapt out of the way only to be barraged by Yeti's ice powers: In this case from his hands a blast of ice shards shot out hitting areas freezing them over. Lucy and Zero dodged, dodged, dodged, and dodged some more but were losing ground.
Zero leapt up high into the air with a rebel yell he whipped out his Z-Saber weapon. "HAH!" Zero landed a slash mark across the big bad snowman's torso armor but the damage was minimal leaving the red armored hunter stupefied and Yeti simply grabbed his head and slammed him into the ground hard sending cracks throughout the icy surface then throwing him into the far wall which he slid down.
"Dahhh." He got up dazed.
Yeti turned his attention at the other hunter and swung at punching the ground Lucy who back flipped out of harm's way and the girl set off her armors foot jets successfully landing and she let loose a barrage of plasma fire at Yeti only for him to hardly feel it unless he was a good actor at concealing his pain then it didn't work.
"My busters ain't cutting it! What's plan B?" Lucy said jumping backward again and skidding across the icy floor struggling to stay standing.
"Wait try Man-O-Wars electrical abilities the might work. What've we got to lose here by not trying it?" Zero barked out in response to her.
"Fine changing weapon system to Thunder Dancer. Eat lightning ya popsicle punk!" Lucy yelled at Yeti charging at him firing off Thunder Dancer blasts which connected hard.
"DAHHHH!" Yeti bellowed out as his systems were overtaken by massive electrical overloads from the Thunder Dancer. The sheer over load caused massive crackles of energy coursing over his body making fall over in a stat of paralysis. Getting over the shock he got back up only to see Zero dashing at him.
"RAIKOUSEN!" The red armored hunter shouted as he dashed then vanished then reappeared at the Maverick using an attack called Raikousen which meant literally in laymen's terms "Thunder Flash". The electrical slash sent another huge overload in Yeti's systems knocking him over again.
"DAHHHHHHHHH!" But Yeti himself and his once shining armor was now dull and pitted. Circuits were exposed here and there while emitting sparks. However he wasn't through yet. He started glowing with a red aura which meant one thing... he was in overdrive mode now.
"SNOW EISEN!" Yeti bellowed as he spewed snow high and fast into the ceiling which came back down as large, spiky huge snowflakes.
"Double Attack!" The two hunters yelled in a flash of golden orange light the two sent out all artillery at the rampaging Maverick.
The blasts were too much and Avalanche was finished. "NOOOAHHHHH!" Yeti cried as he exploded into junk metal bits which flew everywhere.
"Piece of cake." Zero remarked.
"Easy squeezy pumpkin cheesy." Lucy spouted off.
-back at the Inn
The basic reunion then ensues it was business as usual at the Inn business with Bando's fate at the Hunters hands. The group was still unsure what they should do with him. Should they call the cops on him or let him go?
"I hope this proves it cousin we hunters are the good guys here Joe." Axl retorted at Bando.
"Untie these bonds on me please I'm getting cramped here my hands are falling asleep." Bandoh said simply.
"Now if you let you go how do we know you won't try to shoot me again hmm?" Palette asked cocking up her left eyebrow unsure if he was telling the truth or not and stared at him with her bright emerald eyes.
"Boy scouts honor I was a boy scout years ago." He said back to her.
"Fine Alia unlock the locks but Zero, Layer be on guard... " X said with caution in his voice as the middle aged man got up and stretched as well as flexed his hands.
"Well this was not I expected to be honest looks like Nana's found and being taken care of very well too I might add. The hunters are the good guys and Kurama's a lying jerkwad but I always thought of him as one though." Bando confessed.
"Tell me about it I had to teach her how to shower and wash herself those workers chained her up like a dog." Lucy spouted off in disgust.
Bando walked out the door into the kitchen and was ready to leave the place. "Y'know you might not be so bad kid I heard on the news that the Maverick Yeti attacked the area you were at... you're all right you are the good guys I was wrong. I got stuff to do later kids." Bando said started walking off to the grounds and around the corner only to be stopped by a Vector on his shoulder spooking him a bit.
It was Lucy again with an odd look on her delicate face that the man couldn't place. "Hey easy it won't hurt you I control what they do remember if I want to biff some wiseass on the face I can frankly they can do more than just kill I just wanted to ask where'll you go now? Kurama will probably kill you if ya go back." Lucy explained.
"Just stuff I gotta do I'll make myself lost and hidden I'm good at that don't worry about it later Maverick Hunter Lucy. Maybe I'll see ya later sometime " Bandoh said walking off leaving Lucy still at the gate thinking to herself she smiled then she sneezed.
"ACHOO! Ahh great now I got a cold now dammit." Lucy said defeated.
