X radioed Zero warning him about the bomb, they only had so much time
before they all went sky high, " Zero! Take your troops! It's a trap!!"
Zero opened his mouth to say something but instead he heard X's warning.
" DAMN! C'mon! get out! Move it!" Zero urged his troops to safety.
The wrecked building stood still for a moment; a bright light flashed and illuminated the exploding building. Smoke, debris, and pieces of concrete spewed out of the explosion. The air was thick and murky with the smoke. The hunters narrowly avoided death as they used the remaining energy to dash to safety.
Blood trickled down a wounded hunter's face, " We almost died there…"
"We survived, that's important…" X replied supporting the wounded hunter. HE gazed at the aftermath of the explosion. Behind him was Zero who was also looking at the remnants of the building.
A female hunter from Zero's unit, dressed in white and golden trimmed armor gazed along with the other, " I don't get it! We never turned off the satellite shield! Anyone who teleported should have died! Did they choose to commit suicide?"
"That's what they want us to think, but I am falling for that…" X spoke up looking at the sky.
"But there is no other expla-" Delia was cut off by X's reasoning.
"Ya know…with some practice and if you're fast enough," X turned to look at the female hunter, " It's possible to do a little teleport jump without reaching the stratosphere."
Delia scoffed in disbelief, " No one can do that!"
"Yeah but you can only travel only a couple of meters…" Zero added, "They must still be here!"
"Hey it seems you can also do that technique, Zero." X smirked at Zero while Delia opened her mouth in shock.
"W-wait!" She stammered, " What are you saying??" The female was flabbergasted at how X and Zero could perform such an amazing feat.
"C'mon X, I didn't know that you underestimated me in that way!" Zero raised an eyebrow at X.
" Calm down buddy, I was just joking," X turned is sight to the smoldering fires in front of him," Hey let's go look for the mavericks, the fire is almost gone."
The duo began to walk off to investigate the remaining rubble and ruins, Zero and X engaged some conversation inaudible to Delia who was left standing around like a useless gadget.
" HEY ! It's me Delia! Don't just leave me here like this!!" She waved her hands around like an angered child. X turned around half smiling at Delia's tantrum. HE figured she was half angered at the fact she had been left out in that nifty technique
"Sorry Delia, I'll teach that trick to the whole unit tomorrow," a smile found its way on X's lips, though a sudden change of expression occurred quickly, "Tell those who are still able to fight that we need them. Because this is not over yet…"
Delia's frustration vented out, " Vain commanders! They never share those kinds of things!," She stomped the ground, " They are all the same!"
The crimson hunter and his azure companion continued to walk to the wreck of the building; X began to walk away from his partner. Small fires were burning silently; dust blew around the blue hunter's feet. Helicopters flashed their iridescent beams looking for any hunters or mavericks that might have survived.
Mean while a group of maverick hunters searched the area for their fallen comrades. One maverick hunter who walked around the rubble next to Delia noticed something odd….
"I don't see any maverick bodies…" He cocked his basic rifle just in case for an unsuspecting ambush.
" I don't see any of our friends bodies either…" Delia murmured as she glanced cautiously at their surrounding.
" What is that?" X spotted in the horizon a bunch of spike rods sticking up from the ground like tombstones. The darkness of the night shadowed the spike rods casting a silhouette along the area they stood upon. An eerie wind stirred the ashes that rested on the land.
As X neared the spikes, he saw noticed rounded objects protruding on the spikes. Delia walked behind X, they drew closer to the spikes they saw what was the ultimate act or sin to the maverick hunters.
On those spikes were the heads of the maverick hunters… Blood oozed down the poles, dried up blood dyed the spikes. X gasped in horror and anger as Delia clasped her hand over her mouth. The mavericks went too far this time, X felt an old rage boiling within him, he wanted revenge for what they did to his and Zero's troops.
"BASTARDS!! How dare they!!!!" he growled looking around him. Delia nodded silently.
" The mavericks did this to the dead bodies of the fallen hunters. Damn! NO hunter deserves to end like this…" spoke the same hunter who had notice the missing presence of the dead bodies.
"They came back to do this! " X clenched his fist un anger, "Those mavericks can't be too far! Search for a hideout, a cave, whatever, BUT FIND THEM NOW!"
"Yes sir!" Several hunters began to scatter out.
Fuming, hurt, insulted, X laid his hand on a nearby rock, and looked down, "They are a bunch of savage animals…why did they have to do this?!"
The golden hued female hunter looked at the pain X was suffering through she felt the same, no hunter really deserved that she thought to her self.
"I knew all those men…" His mind raced for answers, could he have prevented this? No, probably not…the only thing now was to take the heads down and lay the late hunters to their grave he thought.
Delia approached the shaken commander, " X? Sir?"
"Please…" He gritted his teeth in an effort to control his rage, " go with the others, I'll pick up what remains of them…"
Delia ignored X and walked toward the spikes, " I also knew them, X. "
X looked up as she passed him, he couldn't see it but she to held her anger in, her face was stone set.
"C'mon it will be faster if we work together…" Her feet stirred up the ashes that puffed around her footsteps like small clouds.
"Delia…" He contemplated for a bit and just gave in, there was nothing he could do to reverse this, " I guess it would be faster…"
Zero watched in the distance, he figured out what had happened as he saw a couple of poles collapse. He looked below, a gaping hole in the ground, it leads to the sewers.
The sewers…they escaped to the sewers like the rats they are… He bent down and looked at the surrounding dirt, he noticed foot tracks and blood.
He touched the area gently, blood smeared on his white hand. One is bleeding, two tried to hide their trail…Well I can handle those bastards alone…enough died today…enough…died today…
Sweat rolled down his cheek as he felt a pain surge in his head, he collapsed on to his knees. He howled in pain, his body jerked spastically, " NOOO! Not again!!!
He threw his head back in agony, he whimpered as the pain shot through him, " DAMN HEADACHE!!"
It stopped. The pain just ceased to exist. Zero let go of his throbbing head in shock, this time it was a short one, he blinked.
" t-thank goodness it stopped!" He looked back down to the sewers, " Okay I wasted enough time… I won't let them escape!"
Zero jumped in the sewer ready to kick some maverick-ass, he was determine to get revenge and to meet that one assassin…He dashed through the murky waters following the crimson blood trail.
" Damn killers…" the hunter muttered to himself as he closed in on them, " I'll get ya!!"
TBC!!!
Review sorry for any mistakes!
