Updates might come a bit slower by now, but to make up to it I'll try to upload multiple chapters.

World Reset

Chapter 11 – Out of Control

"It was another regular Maverick attack," Aile reported as she stood in front of Prairie in the command center, "There are a few injured citizens, but their injuries aren't severe and there are no lives taken in the battle. None from the citizens or Guardians."

Prairie nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your good work, Aile," Prairie noticed the frown on the female Guardian's face, "Is something the matter?"

Aile let out a sigh, "It's just… I'm worried about Vent… He's so depressed after meeting Giro, not to mention that he has been losing his battles lately…" Aile let out another sigh, "Has he come out of the bedroom yet?"

"I gave him a mission this afternoon, but he hasn't come back ever since," Prairie turned back to her desk before typing on her computer, "And he hasn't sent reports here yet…"

The door in the command center suddenly slid open and the old scientist came into the room with a worried look on his face, "Prairie, I'm afraid that I have some bad news."

"What is it? Is it about Vent?" Aile asked worriedly, getting a hesitant nod from Fleuve.

"Actually, he had taken the Model O replica I've been working on, but he didn't know that I've also placed a tracking device on it," Fleuve took a deep breath before he faced the two females who were looking at him, "Vent's location is detected in Undersea Volcano, where Albert's hideout used to be."

"The Undersea Volcano?" Prairie asked, getting a nod from Fleuve, "That's strange… I sent him to the research lab, but why would he be in that place right now?"

"Prairie, let me go after him," Aile turned to Prairie with a serious look on her face, "I have to make sure he stays out of trouble."

"Aile…" Prairie looked at Aile before she finally nodded, "Alright, but make sure you take Ashe and Grey with you just in case something happens."

"We'll come with you too," The people in the room turned to the door as Prometheus and Pandora came in, "We need to come with you to the Undersea Volcano. Pandora here has a feeling that we might find something in there."

"Alright," Aile nodded before turning back to Prairie, "We'll be off then."

A few moments later, Aile along with the Hunters were walking on the bottom of the sea with inactive volcanoes on the background. Aile and Ashe took the lead while Grey was walking slowly behind them and ignored the two's conversation about how the lab were mysteriously fixed after the Hunters saw it crumbling down before Ouroboros rose from the sea. Grey let out a sigh as he recalled the events with the Reploid siblings a few minutes earlier.

-Flashback-

"Are you sure you'll be fine on your own?" Aile asked as the three Chosen Ones saw the siblings in front of the branched path beside them.

Prometheus nodded in reply, "Don't worry, we'll be okay."

Pandora nodded in agreement, "We don't want to give you trouble…"

"I'm not troubled with you two around! Not at all!" Grey spoke up, "Don't worry Pandora, I'll make sure that you and your brother are safe."

Pandora giggled seeing Grey's reaction, "Thank you Grey… but we'll be fine…"

"Alright, that settles it!" Ashe suddenly spoke up, "You two go that way, and we'll go this way!"

-End of Flashback-

Grey let out a sigh and walked ahead, not noticing that the two females in front of him had stopped walking. Grey crashed into Ashe, who completely ignored the Reploid behind her as she stared at the figure standing ahead of them.

"Hey! What's happening?" Grey asked in confusion, but the two females ignored him.

Grey walked around the two and saw the figure ahead of them, who had a dark red armor and was holding a purple saber, "No…" Aile whispered in disbelief as she eyed the ring on the figure's finger, "It's… Vent…"

"Is he in control this time?" Ashe asked before the figure looked at them with his glowing red eyes, "Maybe not…"

Vent dashed at the three Chosen Ones with his purple saber on his side, but the three had jumped out of the way before the saber could hit them. They slowly landed back on the ground as they were still underwater, but they were fast enough to dodge as Vent charged at them once more. Aile pulled out her buster and aimed it at Vent, but refused to shoot as he came closer and closer.

'No use… I can't shoot him… I don't want to shoot Vent!' Aile lowered her buster, not noticing the distance between her and Vent's saber.

"Look out!" Ashe yelled and snapped Aile back to reality before noticing that Vent was about to slash her, but Ashe's reflect laser had knocked him away from her.

Vent landed safely on the ground before he jumped up and did a rolling slash, sending small sonic boom attacks at the three. The Chosen Ones dodged the attack and Grey released his charged shot, knocking him away from them. Vent pulled out his dark grey buster and released rapid charged shots at the three, knocking them off the ground.

Vent swung his saber and sent out a sonic boom, hitting Grey before paralyzing him. Vent charged at Ashe and swung down his saber at her, but Ashe blocked the saber with her own buster gun. Vent pushed himself back and released more rapid charged shots at them, creating a smokescreen to cover the area they were in.

The smokescreen soon disappeared, leaving Vent standing tall in front of them, barely damaged. Aile had put away her buster and looked at Vent, "Vent, please stop this… Please go back to normal, Vent…"

"It's no use, Aile!" Grey turned to Aile, who wasn't listening to him, "Aile! Vent's not in control! We have no other choice but to fight him!"

Vent put his saber to his side before he disappeared from the three's sight and suddenly reappeared in front of Aile, who was surprised to see him, before he swung his saber across her stomach and created a big gash on it. Aile was knocked back against the Hunters, who held her back before she fell, before they noticed the blood coming out from Aile's wound.

"Oh no! We've got to get her out of here!" Ashe said as she saw the wound on Aile's stomach.

"V… Vent…" Aile whispered weakly as her vision started getting blurry before she lost consciousness.

"Commander Prairie! Get us out of here, now!" Grey said in his communicator in panic before turning to Aile, who was unconscious in Ashe's arms, "Aile's injured and we've got to get her out of here before she loses too much blood!"

Vent charged at the three once more, but they had teleported out of the area and left Vent to cut water instead.

Okay, so the gang knows that Vent's been controlled and he's hurt none other than Aile! The next ones should come in a few minutes! I'm reading through the ones I've done back then before uploading for typos or grammar mistakes, but I might miss some so feel free to point them out in the reviews!
