Unit FOX

Chapter 9

(Kyle)

His eyes scanning throughout his whole field of vision, looking for his enemy.The sound
of a blade was once again heard.Weapons were up, his guard was up, out of the darkness
stepped out Kyle's enemy.[What?] "Hello Kyle, bet you weren't expecting to see me eh?"
It was him, it was his partner during the start of the New York Incident that happened in
the peaceful island of Manhattan.[But..you...you were killed] "You were killed during the
concert at Central Park.And your alive."No answer...after a few seconds he spoke "I see
your still in no condition for a battle with me again...nor was I when he came.[He?Who's
he?]"Kyle, bet you don't know who I was talking bout eh?Well it's-"A long steel blade
penetrated his body, form the back to the mid point in his stomach.Two red eyes lit up
from behind him, then the eyes squinted...*BANG* there was now a hole in the front
stomach of Kyle's former and now dead partner.The user of the blade with a shotgun
attachment or a "Gunblade" withdrew the gunblade and the prone body fell on the floor in
front of Kyle.As the killer of Kyle's partner walks away a sadistic laugh was heard from
him.The laugh was familar to Kyle...but he forgot where it was from.Kyle, after a few
seconds continued his quest to find the cure for Aya, not even caring about the man that
was once his partner.

(Aya and crew)

Aya was staring at the lights of the ceiling wondering if Kyle was alright.At the same time
she was also thinking about the partnership project she had to do with Kyle where she and
Kyle had to live together for one week.

[Partnership Project (Aya's thought)]
During the middle of one night Aya was having a bad dream.She was saying "Maya..don't
leave me.Sister wait!Wait for me!Don't leave me."Kyle's heart broke as he saw a strong
woman acting so fragile, as if one touch would brake her.Kyle walked over to her without
thinking and laid in the bed with Aya.He thought that his arrival would bring her some
comfort and chase the nightmares that Aya was having...but it didn't quite worked that
way...Aya woke up.[Oh shit] Kyle thought a second before Aya screamed and shoved him
away with her full force."What did you think you were doing?!You were gonna put the
moves on me weren't you?!" Aya scremed."N-no damn it Aya!You were having a bad
dream and I was just trying to comfort you!"Aya raised an eyebrow and slaped Kyle on his
right cheek "By what?!Crawling into my bed?You were just being a pervert!"
[End of thought]

Aya laughed at the thought.She miss Kyle...it was hard for her to express her feelings for
him..[Do I love him?Does he love me?]Aya continued to laugh at the Partnership Project
thought.Douglas and Pierce noticed that Aya was laughing.Douglas walked towards her
"Hey Aya, what are you laughing about?" Aya yurned her head to Douglas to reveal her
smile.Pierce walked up to Douglas "I think I know what she is laughing about.You were
laughing about the Parnership Project right?About what you did to Kyle." Aya nods in the
correct answer that Pierce said.Douglas was confused "Hey woha, wait a second...what
did she do to Kyle?What's this Partnership Project thing?"

(An hour or two later)

After a few hours Kyle came through the door holding the cure for Aya.He gave the cure
to her.Aya applied the cure on her scratch and it began to heal.When it was fully healed
Aya stood up and walked towards Kyle.With Kyle's helmet off Aya placed a hand on his
right cheek where she had slapped him silly during the Partnership Project, Aya smiled and
leaned in to kiss Kyle on the lips.Douglas and Pierce was standing in the back going and
saying "Awww.".Aya pulled away and under her breath she said "Thank you." Kyle stood
there frozen for a few seconds then responded with a short "Welcome". Aya once again
smiled.If her smile was rated in wattage her smile alone would light all the rooms in the
whole base.Pierce interrupted the whole happy scene the Aya was having "Um...Aya?Does
he look familar to you?" Aya turned to the monitors and saw the image of a monster she
found to familar but more enhanced.He has a black armor with a new mask that looks
similar to his old one.In one hand he held the head of a solider and in the other was the
gunblade.Aya's eyes grew wide "No. 9!But how?" Kyle spoke up "Aya, you remember
the room filled with dead bodies?He did that." Aya turned to Kyle "What?Why didn't you
tell me?" Kyle closed his mask to hide his face.Aya couldn't believed what just
happened."I trusted you.And you held out on me."Kyle spoke up "We have to fight him."
Aya shook her head in disagreement "No...there's no more "We" in this thing, now you
have to fight him."Kyle turned towards the door "Be that as it may but, if I don't kill him
and he kills me....all of us here will die...remember that."Kyle walked out leaving the three
in the room.Aya started to cry, as a tear slid down her cheek Douglas walked up to her
"Hey, Aya you ok?" Aya still continued to cry "I guess not...listen the least we can do is
to help him.Let's help him...he did help us after all right?" Aya looked up towards the
door.She stood up and ran after Kyle "Wait Kyle!"

(Kyle)

As Kyle walked he heard Aya's voice telling him to wait, but he just kept walking ignoring
her.He turned on his stealth and turned a cornor to hide from Aya as she passed by with
Douglas.Within the mask of Kyle he shed a tear.Kyle turned to face the long dark hall
where, at the end No. 9 awaits for him.He walked in the still darkness, every other 5 steps
he took he heard the sadistic laugh of No. 9 getting more louder and louder.As Kyle
approched the cold titanium door he looked back to make sure that Aya was not there.As
he was happy that she wasn't there he drew his Masamune from its resting place, and with
one swift motion he slashed an "X" mark on the door.With one powerful kick Kyle
bursted through the door and was ready for the battle....or was he calling for death to
come upon him.

(Aya)

"Kyle!Where are you?" Pierce voice came over the codec "Aya you passed Kyle!He was
at the corner of Section E-2.The room with No. 9 in it is just passed the long hallway
where Kyle was goin-" Aya stopped dead in her tracks "Pierce what's wrong?Pierce!"
Douglas caught up to Aya trying to catch his breath. "Aya, Iam looking at the monitors
and Kyle is fighting No.9!Get there! HURRY!" Aya didn't need the hurry from Pierce as
she started running back to find the sign she saw that said "Section E-2".

(Kyle)

Kyle was on his knees holding his head as if he just got one major headache, but he
wasn't.No.9 was talking to him "Your nothing.Your a worthless pathetic human
being.Your life has no purpose!Your death will bring others happiness"
Kyle trying hard to prevent any more of No.9's saying to get to him, but it didn't
work."Loneliness,death,fear,fear,fear,sadness,rejected."No.9 laugh at the pain Kyle was
taking...not physical pain, but it was mental pain.Kyle had a vision.

[Kyle's Vision]

The room was white.A figure that Kyle found familar appeared "Aya?" Aya stood still
with absolute no expression on her face."Why am I here?I was fighting No.9 and-Am I
dead?" Aya spoke up "No.Your here to find your true self, your true feelings, your true
state of being." Kyle stood there confused as a figure of a tall man with brown hair
appeared next to Aya.As Aya disappeared the man spoke "I am you.Iam your shadow that
was buried the day you have became Raven, Iam the real Kyle Madigan.You lost your
identity Iam here to help you retain it again.Iam here as your guide to your true self." Kyle
blinked and his shadow spoke again "Let's begin."Kyle's vision flashed white and back to
normal.Both Kyle and his shadow was in a dark room "Let's begin with your feelings,
your love for another."The scene was the night Kyle got slapped during the Partnership
Project."That's me?" Kyle's shadow nods.Then something came through his head "That's
right!That's me!I was there to bring her comfort.I was there to chase her nightmares
away!I was there because I cared for her!I was there because I love her!" Kyle's vision
flashed again then a voice came over his head "You regained your feelings let's move
on."Kyle smiled at his accomplishment.Kyle was it another scene "Now, let's find your
state of being."Kyle looked at the mirror and found the image of his shadow "That's not
me, or is it?" a voice came over "This is you in your days with Aya Brea.How and why
you might ask?Well this is you in your true form."Kyle looked closer "Your right this is
me.That's me without the mask of a cold heartless bastard that I wear right now!The
mask...Iam a clown that knew how to love."The voice came over him again "What do you
mean that your 'a clown that knew how to love'?That's what you say in your terms but
your a clown that KNOWS how to love.Your feelings for others get stronger as you
accept them in your life.Your bonds with them gets more stronger and stronger as you get
close to them as well as they get close to you."Kyle lowered his head in disbelief "Take
your bond with Aya for example.When you two first met you just developed one bond.As
time passed by it got stronger.Both of you got closer, your trust between each other grew
as well as your feelings.As that happened the bond was enforce by that it became
unbreakable, indestructible."The saying came through to Kyle "Your right.My bond with
Aya is indestructible!I know how to love.Iam worth something to someone!My existence
in this world in NOT meaningless.Because...beacuse...BECAUSE I AM KYLE
MADIGAN!"
[End of Vision]
(A.N:Long vision eh?)

"I am Kyle!" No.9 jumped back "So the FOX Project is a complete failure.It don't
matter..because I'll kill you anyways!"No.9 raised the gunblade for a full blow.Kyle took
his sword and blocked the strike."Why reject your fate to die by my hands?Why are you
fighting back?It's no use you can't beat me."Kyle answered his questions "Because...there
are people on this world that cares for me, and love me.And for there sake...I will
fight...for there sake..I CAN NOT LET YOU LIVE!" No.9 smiled and fired a burst on
energy at Kyle that caused him to be thrown back to the wall.Now No.9 was looking
down at Kyle "Down and out eh?I'll tear your body from limb to limb, I'll bathe in your
blood.Hahahahah! I'll kill you in ways you pathetic humans are not capable in dreaming
of.Hahahahah!And don't worry I'll take care of your dear close Aya.I'll make her death
slow...I'll make her scream your name...I'll make her last thoughts before she dies of
you.Before I do that...first..I'll kill you."

(Aya)

As Aya ran down the halls she heard Kyle's screams of pain echo down the halls."Oh no,
am I too late?Kyle..."Aya's burst of speed was not a waste she mad it to the room where
No.9 was it."KYLE!" No.9 turned around to face her "Ah....so we meet again."Aya
pulled out a gun from her holster and pointed it at No.9 "Where's Kyle?" No.9 laughed
"Look behind you!" Aya turned around to find Kyle over the door stabed through a long
piece of metal that appeared to be his very own sword.Aya dropped her gun and placed
her hand over her mouth in shock."Kyle..." Aya turned around to find that No.9 was
standing in front of her.No.9's quick hand grabed Aya by her neck and raised her over his
head.Aya was out of breath at the tight grip No.9 had on her...but she was able to lets out
a sentence "Wha...what have you done..to him" No.9 laughed in pleasure of saying his
next words "I just killed him.Poor fool...he asked for death and I just granted it to
him.Hahahah!Before I threw him up there I told him that 'I'll make your death slow...I'll
make you scream his name...I'll make your last thoughts of him before you die.And Iam
gonna make that happen...hahahahahah!!!"
