A/N: Well first chapter of the shitty book is out and I feel better than ever! I might as well have another chapter out tomorrow too.
A blinding flash, and a few screams; that's all that remained. He ran and ran. He didn't stop, and when he did he covered his tracks to make sure that even she couldn't find him.
Ace sat up quickly, half naked and took notice of his surroundings. He was next to a tree, with the team doctor checking him for injuries. That one female recruit was watching the doctor and him, and a new man he had never seen before, stood directly over him.
The new guy was tall, skinny, and stern looking. He had black hair, green eyes, and scar above his nose. He wore a long black cloak (A/N: Organization 13 cloak from Kingdom Hearts... I want one so bad) and kept the hood down.
" Alrighy Doc, what's the analysis? And you better not tell me to take it easy." Ace laughed.
The 'Doc' simply smiled, " Seeing as we're in the middle of war, I guess I can't tell you to be careful and," He paused to look over at all the soldiers that were laughing and playing games," You're the only one that can make these guys smile and feel safe."
The doctor walked away as Ace looked for his stuff; finally finding it, he dressed up and turned towards the new guy, " So, you are?"
" Alphones Perrius Maxine The Third, or Al for short, I have been assigned by General Ironwood to assist you with your conflict."
Ace chuckled a bit, " Another babysitter. So, you're the new robot? I don't even know what they call you these days."
Al cocked his head, " Yes. My creator deemed me APM-3 before I had my full name. And you humans seem to love conflict so Ironwood gave me an old knights name. It means 'Never Ending War', or so I'm told."
Ace stepped forward a bit, " Can you prove yourself like the rest of my team?"
Al nodded, " I will; there is no try for me. Ironwood also gave me a key set of instructions if something goes, in human terms, south."
Ace patted him on the shoulder, " And we'll make a human outta you, yet. Now, come join the fun. You too." He pointed the last part at Blake.
Later, when the night had settled over their heads, and everyone had turned in, Ace snuck away. He had his mind set on getting stronger. At least he could workout without having to worry about Grimm; this area didn't really have much.
He looked around for the perfect thing to help him. He looked at a body that was mostly intact, it was missing a part of it's face. ' Welp, here goes nothing, I just hope it works.' He thought.
He put his finger over it's stomach and tapped once. He stepped back, and let the magic work it's course.
The corpse moved and shifted and got up. It threw itself at Ace. " Nope! Have to do better than that you peice of shit!"
Again, it threw itself at him, but this time for his legs. Ace jumped up and came back down on the corpse's head, using his heel to crush it.
" Man... I thought you'd last a lot longer... oh." He said as the corpse grabbed his leg and tried to force him off.
The headless corpse swung him into the ground and pounced on him, trying to claw his eyes out. Ace punched in the chest and rolled it away. It was relentless in it's pursuit to kill him.
It ran at him like a maniac and swung it's arm at him, catching his shoulder. " Alright that's enough for tonight."
He place his finger back on it's chest and the corpse went limp. He walked away, and returned to camp for a well deserved sleep. Unbeknownst to him, Al witnessed the entire thing, 'Hmm... so he does have it, I'm not notifying Ironwood yet, because this could get interesting.' He watched Ace with a half creepy, half insane smile.
" Oh, this could be very interesting..."
A/N: Okay, okay... I'll admit I've always loved psychos, and this makes the story more interesting... oh and for the girls out there that like psychos, you can't spell psychotic without hot. No? Man... I thought it'd be funny. Anyway leave a comment, they're always appreciated, whether it's good or bad.
