Chapter 2: First encounter with the Unusual
Disclaimer: I do not own Capcom, and that is final. Janice Gurnlop is my character, and so that Mr. Polywuren. Reviews and Flames!
At the Maverick Hunter Headquarters, X and Zero are looking at Iris, who was typing some keys at the Mainframe Panel. Even though Iris is only a Rank C informant, she has the intelligence of a hundred scientists. She scanned the Mainframe's system, the controls, the database, and it clicked. She stared at X.
"X, we found it." She swiped at the keys. X and Zero stared at the computer. Iris was feeling Zero's warm breath by her neck, but for the time being, disregarded it. "Janice stole a few data about rebuilding and building reploids. Now we really know for sure that she is going to revive Sigma."
Zero narrowed his eyes. He stand up straight. "We have to stop her." X and Iris peered at him in curiousity. "That girl doesn't know what the hell she's going into."
"I agree with Zero." X replied. "We still remember the incident with Dr. Doppler. We lost a lot of men. And if Zero wasn't out of commission that time, he might have been infected as well."
"But we lost many men in the #0 Special Unit. Including my lieutenant." Zero said. He looked back at Iris. For a second, he felt he would be lost looking at the girl's deep blue eyes. "Iris, can you help us find her?"
Iris peered back, then saluted. She thought she heard Zero sighed, but she didn't mind it. This was serious business. "But first, we must search all ruins and other different structures for any signs of the Sigma Virus." She swiped her fingers at the keyboard. "The first stop is Nue Central Trading at point 846HS535K. Can you guys go?"
X nodded. "I'll go. Zero, you rest while Iris finds another spot common for the virus to show its ugly head."
"Sure. Take the trash out first." Zero answered, waving his hand. X ran out for the assigned place. Zero took a chair and took a seat beside Iris, who was trying her best to get the information, and this includes hacking the Repliforce's important data. "This must have some good meaning to do this, Iris."
A smile crept Iris's seraphic face. "I'm doing this because I want to give my best to be accepted finely at Repliforce. And also for some other reasons."
"Such as?"
"Its best not for you to know, Commander." Iris answered. 'My God, I'm sounding like my brother now!' she thought, remembering her brother. The truth is, Iris really had strange unknown feelings for Zero. She wanted to do this for him to be happy.
Zero shook his head smoothly. 'If I'm a hard-to-get bishounen Hunter at HQ, she is harder-to-catch because she is calm, and would think before speaking.' He thought. 'Her words was trying to tell me something, but her face was as stern as her brother's' His head began to clear, then stands up. "I'll get something to drink." He said. "What do ya want?"
"Cola is okay, Zero." She answered. Her first mistake: never to call him Zero! She knows she must keep the ranking at eye's range. This was the first mistake ever while in the HQ premises. But Zero didn't notice, that was good. (NOTE: Yes, I've red the script, thanks mega.man.x.online., and I know pretty well that Iris calls him Zero, but do I even care? This is my fic!)
The red reploid nodded, and went out towards the vending machine and placed a paper money in it. In times no one is watching, he'd just kick the stupid thing and save his money for once. But this is no mystery to anyone, even Iris. He'd do so if he's very pissed of something. The vending machine gave what he asked, and so it was spared from the rough beating it was supposed to get from the reploid. He went back near Iris' post and placed the requested drink near the keyboard. Iris took it with open hands.
"Thank you." Was the simple phrase of thanking the Commander of the #0 Unit for giving his informant a can of coke. She began typing again, then remembered something and placed the headset on. Now, she was focusing on helping X through the maze made by the Mavericks in the Nue Central. Zero knows that she'd be busy, what with X on the mission, so he left the Mainframe and off to his private lounge for some shut eye.
Meanwhile, X was making his way in the dark, dank place of what was supposed to be a large factory in the beginning. Mavericks had been attacking from all sides, but equipped with what he had from his latest battle against Sigma, which was the Laguz Island incident, he was able to manage to get to the door. As he went inside, he met a large reploid, preferable a large, scary beaver-like platypus. (Please! Just imagine!) A large drop comically appeared on X's head. 'And what is he supposed to be?' he thought.
"It's good for you to come here, Mega Man X." he started. "I am Astrin Abever (??? A.A.??? This wasn't supposed to be funny, though.), one of Lady Janice's protectors."
"And he is supposed to a beaver, isn't he?" Iris whispered to X through the headset, controlling her laughter. X shook his head, then looked at Astrin.
"What does Janice want?" he asked. "Tell me."
"You are not permitted to know the answer!" the stuck-up beaver answered. "Let's fight!" Astrin let out a wave of green fluid. X jumped out to avoid the acid. He began charging his buster. The Maverick then flapped his unusual tail and a large whirlwind made its way to X.
'Think, X, think! If you don't do something, you're ending up scrap!' X searched through his weapons. Then it hit him. He fired a red screw tornado, which stopped the whirlwind by force and buried itself in Astrin's stomach. He doubled back in pain.
"Oww! That hurts!" he winced. X fashioned a grin. That is his weakness!
"So, you have a soft spot for Tornado Fang, eh?" X said. "Well, its showtime!" (Note: Tornado Fang was used in Mega Man X3, I just used it because I'm not much into the weapons of MMXtreme2)
