Part 6

Vile stood and looked over the Maverick Leaders that were assembled in front of him. Cyber Kujacker, an arrogant and cruel hacker. Magma Dragoon, Former Maverick Hunter Commander of Unit # 4. Slash Beast, reckless and riotous. Extremely dangerous. Frost Walrus, the "Problem Child" of the group. Split Mushroom, mischevous and thinks only of himself. Web Spider, guerilla warfare expert. Claims to have known Zero at one point. Then came the recently recruited Mavericks. Jet Stingray, the proud leader of Repliforce's Navy. Storm Owl, a model soldier and officer of Repliforce. Vile knew the risks being taken here. As much as he wanted to get back at X and Zero, he was beginning to feel a little uneasy about this plan. Sigma planned on having the Hunters and Repliforce at each other's necks. Thanks to Double, their spy, Repliforce was going to make tracking the mysterious humans that showed up a few days ago easier to capture. [Vile]"All right, you have your orders. Remember, we must capure the humans alive. No disembowlments and such. Now get going!" After the room is cleared, Vile feels very uneasy of himself. [Vile]What am I worried about? This mission is easy. Just capture some humans and its over with. Will Sigma be after more than that still? As he ponders, Vile heads off to think for awhile.

At MHHQ, the group assembles in the main chamber. [Cain]"Because of the recent actions of Repliforce, we must be on our guard. They may be decieved, but they are still dangerous." [Washu]"I'm having a bit of trouble locating the spy in Repliforce. I should have him located by this evening." [X]"Until then we better make sure you stay here where it's safe." [Ryoko]"I say we find this spy and give him a good thrashing." [X]"Ryoko, the whole point of you being here at HQ is so you're protected in case of a strike force is sent after you guys. You'll be better protected here." [Ryoko]"Oh alright." Ruin my fun..... [Ami]"In the meantime, I've located 8 locations where possible Maverick leaders could be hidding. They may have information that could be usefull." [Cain]"Quite right. X and Zero can you two go to these locations while Miss Washu here locates the spy himself?" [X]"Alright." [Zero]"Sure thing Cainy." [Cain]".....I'll ignore that for the moment." [Makato]"We wanna help too ya know." [Haruka]"She's right. We can't just sit here while we're being hunted like dogs. We need to help too." [X]"Its too dangerous out there. You'd be killed."[Rei]"We've fought youma and daemon tougher than these guys and while protecting other people's lives. We want to have a chance to show we aren't what they claim we aren't." [Zero]"Sounds fair to me." [X]"Zero!" [Zero]"Think X. If we go by ourselves, it'll take more time. If they come too we'll save precious time. I say let them come if they really want to." [X]"Alright but you have to be careful. If it's too dangerous get out of there and let Zero or myself handle it." [All]"Ok." [Cain]"Now get going already."

At an abandoned factory, the Inner Senshi arrive to handle the report of a Maverick Leader hiding there. [Moon]"Alright guys lets be careful and keep our guard up." [Mars]"And try not to be clutzy." [Moon]"Oh you are so mean!" [Mercury]"Save it for later guys. I've got multiple reploid readings inside the building. Let's be ready for a trap." Suddenly, several small construction reploids move out of the factory and prepare for combat. [Mercury]"Be careful everyone! I haven't scanned for their weaknesses yet!" Venus was the first to attack. [Venus]"Love-Me Chain!" The chain of magic thrusts forward and slashes 3 of the reploids to pieces. Next Mercury unleashed an attack of her own. [Mercury]"Aqua Rhapsody!" Several reploids become frozen in place and become easy targets for the others' attacks. [Mars]"That seemed too easy." Suddenly a rumbling sound is heard and a portion of the wall crumbles to te ground revealing a very large steam- rolling reploid. It sees the Senshi and does its best to run them over. [Venus]"We have to do something guys or we'll be roadkill!" [Mercury]"Mars! Try to make a hole in front of it to trap it!" [Mars]"Right! One hole coming up! Burning Mandala!" The attack causes the ground in front of the large reploid to form a large hole. [Mars]"That should do it." The reploid appears to become trapped but then uses small jets to propell itself out of the trap. It continues its rain of destruction. [Moon]"We've tried everything and it just keeps on coming!" Suddenly a figure in a brown cloak covering him is seen. A sword with two sapphire gems embeddied in the hilt is unsheathed and the figure dashes towards the oncoming reploid. [Moon]"Look out!" At the last second the figure jumps and slashes the reploid. Its head is severed from its body and falls to the ground while the body screaches to a halt. The man dissappears as mysteriously as he came. [Moon]"Who was that mysterious guy?" [Jupiter]"I wonder if he looks like my old sempai." All but Jupiter develope huge sewatdrops on the back of their heads. [Mars]"Lets go inside already. The Mavrick Leader should be waiting inside so lets get this over with."

Elsewhere, Tenchi finds himself pitted against a Maverick Leader bearing the appearance of a spider on steroids or something. It attacked from within the underbrush of the jungle they were searching in using guerrila war tactics. It had been appearing to attack and then dissappeared and start the whole thing again. Ryoko was busy keeping smaller, less dangerous Mavericks away from him as he pondered from which direction the Maverick would strike next. [Tenchi]Where could he appear next? There has to be some sort of pattern. Wait. He seems to stay in one place for a few seconds before he attacks. That's when I should attack him. Tenchi waits for the next attack and a few seconds later, as if on cue, the Maverick Leader called Web Spider found a nasty surprise. As he sprung forth to attack, Tenchi used his training to sense where he was coming from and attacked with a quick and powerful slash of his sword. [Web]"Arrrhhh! Dammit! You took one of my arms off! DIE HUMAN!" Tenchi managed to parry every attack thrown at him and called upon all his strength to deal on mighty blow. The slash took everthing he had, but it was worth it in the end. The attack had cleaved Web Spider in two. [Tenchi]"Finally that's over with." Before he knew what was happening, the Maverick exploded throwing him backwards into a tree. The world went black and he woke up in the Maverick Hunter Medical Wing. A new medical reploid, Lifesaver enters his room and quietly removes a clingy Ryoko from the room. He argues about Tenchi needing rest and then promptly throws her out violently. Though Lifesaver had only been in the Medical Wing for a few months, he had always seemed patient and calm. Now what he had just done with Ryoko caused everyone in the Medical Wing to become very worried for the other patients' safety. However Lifesaver is already back to his calm state and peace resumes in the Medical Wing. [Lifesaver]"How are ou feeling son? Is your arm feeling better? It was broken when you were brought here but when I went to look at your x-rays, it was already healed almost completely. I've never seen anything like it." [Tenchi]"I had a broken arm?" [Lifesaver]"Not anymore. It should be completely healed by now. I have other patients to look after so you're free to go."

[Cain]"You risked much young man. You managed to take down one of the Maverick Leaders without much injury. Not even our best human Hunters can do that without being bed-ridden for a few weeks." [Tenchi]"So how are things going now?" [Cain]"Well you've been out for awhile but things are now under control. There are now only 3 Mavrick Leaders left. The Senshi give me reports that they were aided by a mysterious man with a sword in a cloak. Your friends tell me of similar reports for themselves but the one helping them had some type of gun the Hunters could not identify. We seem to have a pair of mysterious helpers. Though we don't know if they truely are helping us or are out to get you. We might never know until we ask." [X]"I've got word that Repliforce is rather quite lately. We suspect that they could be behind the Mavericks. I don't believe it though. They're our allies. How can this be happening?" Iris suddenly enters the room with her left arm bleeding slightly. [Iris]"Because we're being decieved by Sigma." [X]"Sigma's back?!" [Zero]"Iris! What happened? Did Sigma do this?" [Iris]"No. It was a spy that was hidding in your own base that did this. He's still here but he's hiding." [X]"A spy here too? Who could it be?" [Washu]"Most likely one of the newer trainees. Let's see here." She summons here computer from a sub-space pocket and begins typing. Without them knowing at first, a new trainee, Double enters. [X]"Double, we've got trouble." X approaches Double but is stopped by Washu. [Washu]"Don't! My sensors tell me he's the spy!" [Double]"Dammit! Looks like I have to shed my skin earlier than anticipated." Double then transforms into a larger more musculer reploid. [X]"You traitor! I'll make you pay for this!" X is stopped as Zero lunges with rage in his eyes and his saber ignited. [Zero]"This is for hurting Iris!" Zero slashes and Double finds himself staggering backwards and minus his left fore-arm. [Zero]"I'll never forgive what you've done to her!" Another slash, now his whole right arm is gone. [Double]"Dammit! He's too strong! We'll met again!" Double teleports away before Zero can deal the deathblow. [Zero]"Coward!" [Ami]"Nevermind that. We have to get Iris to the Medical Wing, fast!" [Haruka]"If speeds your need, I'm there!" Haruka, the fastest of the Senshi, carefully picks up Iris and rushes off in a blinding flash. [X and Cain]O_o [Cain]"That....." [X]"Was fast....." [Zero]"That coward is soooo dead when I get my hands on him!"

Meanwhile, at Repliforce HQ. In a large room, a large reploid sitting in an equally large chair waits for his most trusted officer to report.[General]"Colonel, where is Iris?" [Colonel]"She ran off saying she was going to try to get the Hunters to understand the situation. Sir." [General]"Proceed with your question." [Colonel]"May I ask why we must capture a group of humans that are not a threat to us. The reports say they may have destroyed several Maverick Leaders, but why do such a thing as aressting them for doing the right thing?" [General]"I read those very reports myself and am beginning to have second thought about this." Suddenly a reploid enters. He seems to be worried. [Reploid]"Sir! Iris has been seen being attacked by a Maverick before reaching the Hunter's Base! She went inside and I've recieved word that she is in stable condition and the Hunters wish to talk to you through transmission." [General]"Patch them through." [Reploid]"Yes sir! Just a moment." A screen rises from the floor and Dr. Cain appears on the screen. [Cain]"General of Repliforce. We wish to inform you that there is a spy amoungst your troops. We also must say there was one in our ranks as well but he has been exposed and is now under pursuit of our Hunters. I wish to inform you that Iris will be fine. A little rest and we'll escort her back to your headquarters, but this is not the only reason I wish to speak with you." [General]"Go on." [Cain]"I wish to discuss with you the fate of the humans within our base. They have destroyed several Mavrick Leaders at the risk of their own lives to save others. I must say that they are not here to help the Mavericks. Before you say that I am wrong, I must inform you of some grave news. Sigma has returned again. Iris informed us of this before the one known as Double attacked again but was chased off by Zero." [General]"Then I must say that if what you say is true, then I hereby denounce the need for the humans' capture. Because of their bravery I commend them. Let us meet in person to discuss the matters of Sigma's return."

Somewhere in a ruined part of the city. [Zapper]"The Hunters and Repliforce are finally setting aside their differences and talking of what to do with Sigma." [Zombie]"That's a good thing right?" [Zapper]"Normally, but I fear that Sigma will use this knowledge to his advantage. We must be there when the meeting takes place or the very fabric of existence could be at stake." [Zombie]"Damn, and I was hoping for an easy way out of this mess."

[Sigma]"Dammit! Those humans have caused me so much trouble! On top of that the Hunters and Repliforce are going to talk about a truce between them!"[Magma Dragoon]"Why not attack them when they're guard is down?" [Cyber Kujacker]"Ya. I can hack into their database and cause them to be caught off guard. Then we can attack and take out both Repliforce AND the Hunters." [Sigma]"Such a brilliant plan! Glad I thought of it!" Evil laugh with coughing fits then resume evil laugh. [Dragoon and Kujacker] -_-: [Vile]"That won't work. They'll expect something like that and have their best soldiers there. Why not attack their respective bases with large number of Mavericks while they're too busy patting themselves on the back?" [Sigma]"Hmmmm.....Nah, I like my plan better." [Dragoon and Kujacker Super Deformed]"It wasn't your idea, it was ours." Sigma ignores the super deformed Mavericks. [Sigma]"Now our victory is at hand! Prepare for the assault!" Insert more evil laughing and coughing fits before regaining composure and more evil laughing. [Vile]-_-; "This won't end well." [Dragoon and Kujacker, still SD]"It was our plan!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____ Will Sigma's stolen plan from Magma Dragoon and Cyber Kujacker succeed? Will the Senshi and Tenchi gang ever return home? Will Zapper and Zombie be able to prevent whatever it was they're talking about happen? Will Vile get tired of Sigma' stupidity and kick his ass?
