"AXL! COME IN AXL!" screamed a voice.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT!?" Axl yelled at the voice on the other end.
"Not to be angry with you, but, I AM YOUR BOSS! SPEAK TO ME WITH RESPECT!" Signas yelled back into the headset, causing heads to turn toward him on the command deck.
Signas had sent Axl out to see if he could find any sign of X, but still they had no luck.
"Look, when I find X I will tell you, UNTIL THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!" Axl yelled as he turned the com off on his end.
"YOU LITTLE….."
Axl had become quite, irritable, since Zero and X where in the bombing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zero was up and running and wanted to join Axl in the field, but Dr. Cain refused.
"But Dr. Cain I need to help find X!"
"NO! You're still recovering Zero! You need you rest!"
"Doctor, I need to find X!"
"….Zero…I know that you want to help your friend, but I am not sure that going out and getting yourself killed is going to help save X! Now go rest! Or I will have you restrained!"
Zero sighed and laid back into his bed. Dr. Cain left the room, looking tired, and Alia stood as well.
"Alia…your worried about X aren't you?"
"……..Yes…" Alia said as she walked out of the room.
What's with her? She doesn't like X does she?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X was hauled up off the table by Hurricane Falcon and throw into a cell. The cell was barren, aside from a bed at the north wall and a small cloth rug on the floor.
Where am I? X thought as he lay down on the bed, he tried to fire his buster, but when he did he felt a strong shock run through his body.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!?" X yelled.
"Don't worry; your friends will join you soon."
"When they get here you'll be the first to die!"
Little did X know, there was no one coming to save him…yet…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alia was lying in a bed in the infirmary; Zero was in his own room as well. Luckily the bug in alia that was causing the poison had been removed without any problems, but Zero wasn't going so well. Of course Zero was now repaired, but he still wasn't fully functional.
The only bad thing about Zero being repaired was the fact that his Saber was gone. Everyone searched the ruins but the Saber was gone. And so Zero lay in his room staring out the window looking into the dark cloudy night wanting to get up, but Dr Cain didn't want Zero to overwork himself so he had him locked into his room and guards where posted outside.
X…I need to go find X… Zero thought as he got up from the bed.
Zero walked toward the door, but then had a better idea. Zero quickly walked over to the table and took the red tablecloth. He then tied the cloth to the window and opened it all the way. Then he yelled:
"HELP I'M FALLING OUT THE WINDOW!" as loud as he could, making the guards rush inside.
As the two guards ran to the window, Zero, who was hiding inside the closet near the window, got out and ran out the open door and down the hall.
I'm coming X…
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Dr. Cain, Zero has escaped his guard!" one of the hunters yelled into Dr. Cain's office.
"…Hmhmhm…That crafty little bastard…"
"Shall we pursue him doctor?"
"…No…no let him go, but I want a team to follow him. Do not capture, but instead help him."
"Why sir?"
"Because, he's going to find X."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Zero ran into the hanger area where they kept the hover bikes, as he ran inside he saw that Axl and his group had just returned. Zero stopped Axl and hopped on his own bike.
"Zero! Where are you going!?" Axl yelled.
"I'm going to the ruin to see if I can find a clue to see where X is!"
"WAIT!" Axl yelled as Zero drove off. "…But, I know where to find him….Captain!"
"yes sir!?"
"I want you to follow Zero and get his ass back here ASAP!"
"SIR!"
And with that the Captain and Axl's group sped away after Zero. And Axl sat back and watched as they left.
"So…sending them to help Zero are you?" Dr. Cain asked as he walked into the room.
"Yep…they'd do a better job than I would, and besides Signas has another job for me."
"….Actually, I have a job for you to do."
"Really?"
"Yep, and this one oversees Signas's, so do you want to do my job or his?"
"Yours of course!"
"Good, I want you to go to the Mech Room and suit up, I need you to go to Base Oceania and find this Water Shoktor that Kane is talking about and see if he knows where X is being held."
"Yes sir!"
And with that Axl set off on his own mission, but everyone's missions would soon cross for the same result, saving and reuniting X with the rest of the Maverick Hunters, and stopping Nocturne.
