Kage: Maverick Hunter

Disclaimer: lela, I don't own even a da! ^.^ actually, I own kage, but nothing else in this story.

A.N.: There is worse swearing here, including the F word (duh duh duh) ALSO: I don't know much about reploids, nor mavericks, sorry! I learned what I know from both www.bobandgeorge.com and http://www.satsui.com/roll ^.^ email me if you want to correct something, and I'll do a correction thingy. .oO(these are thought bubbles, and only kage uses them. Who knows what everyone else is thinking?) 'Speech things! Whoop whoop!', and ((AUTHOR NOTES! And let the story BEGIN!!))

When I woke up, the world was upside down! Wait, no, I was upside down. Somehow, I looked around. I was above a man-made volcano, filled with bubbling evil lava, and I was hanging by my ankles, from what, well, you try looking at your feet when your upside down, and blood was rushing to your head.

When I was ready to fall asleep to try and calm my heart from freaking out at the height AND the lava below, there was a long, loud evil laugh. When I looked around for the source, a big tv suddenly appeared over the volcano, blocking the lava from veiw, but now, it showed a much eviller face, Blizzard's, and the jerk was laughing his ugly head off!!

"You pathetic reploid! There you are, hanging by your feet with a boiling volcano below you, and I can easily push just ONE button, and then, well, this lava is hot enough to melt a small piece of steel in seconds. In less then a half hour, you will be gone! And I made sure you had your pain chips in the middle, very protected, and it will continue to make you feel pain till it's melted too."

"WHAT?! YOU JERK! WHEN X AND ZERO GET HERE THEY WILL MAKE YOU LIVE HELL AGAIN AND AGAIN!!" I think he was waiting for that, because he grinned, and pushed a button. I went lower, but didn't fall, and just enough so I could feel the heat. Then, his face disappeared. .o0(I gotta remember how to do that.)

As I hung there, staring at the red goop bubbling and bursting and just plain scaring me, I realized that I had been foolish, to dash off and try to attack Blizzard by myself. It was I who captured myself. If I had stayed with Zero and X, I would be fine! It was all my fault, so I made a decision.

Using a small phone thing installed into my helmet, I called my two friends. With a bit of static, X's voice sounded.

'Hello? Is that you Kage?'

'Ya, it's me. Don't come. It's my fault, so I'll get out by myself. Stay away!'

A new voice came in, 'Kage! Where are you?! Tell us! Now!!' Zero.

'No. Don't come. Stay safe, and if the mavericks attack again. get some for me till I come back!'

'Who caught you?' X asked. Simple enough.

'Blizzard.That guy I told you about.'

This time, Zero talked, 'Blizzard Bengali?'

'The same. I have to go, I don't know who's watching. Bye, and stay safe.' With that, I turned it off, hoping they would stay away. Now, I should start trying to get outta here. After much moving, wiggling, and such, I finally was able to glance at what was keeping me there.

Only metal rings on my ankles and chains connected them to - something - kept me from getting free. That was way too easy! But what would I do when I fell? I didn't have rocket boots! Wait! I had one chance! Maybe there was a surface to land on!

I pushed myself back and forth trying to get a glimpse of a floor of some kind. When I did an extra hard push I saw a surface! Big enough for me to land and walk around on! I pushed harder back and forth focusing on that one floor and every push showed me more of it.

I rocked away and aimed my blaster quickly at just above my feet and the shackles. I shot and the momentum carried me through the air, head over heels. With a loud crash I belly flopped onto the surface. For a moment I just lay there cross-eyed. With a small groan I stood up and rubbed my stomach.

"Well I could of done better! Ah well." Slowly I pushed myself up, trying not to wince at the pain, "Damn him, that hurt."

I stood up and looked around for anyone and someway to get off this thing. There was no one, but there was a flight of stairs heading down somewhere. A grin slowly grew on my face. This was going to be so easy.
