Chapter Two: Silence Of Dawn
"The silent winds, fell through the night sky as the moon light beams towards earth. But what stricken a person to the dark corridors is unknown to us all. What bewildered souls would manage themselves to stay down on earth to do whatever they did before their unfortunate death and haunt us all?"
Days have past and boredom has crept it way to the young teens. Maverick and Cypher played their way into a holographic game that soon bore them as hours had passed by. Akuma went outside and into the forest that was near to Kigen's Mansion. While Kigen on the other hand, stayed at her Olympic size pool and did her laps. It's been a typical, yet boring day as usual. No mission to get all-rambunctious about, no thrill of being caught by guards, and no targets to shoot. This was just a typical day of boredom, a thing that the team really despised.
"Maverick... What's your position..." Cypher took out his walkie- talkie as he crept towards a hangar." I'm in-between the mess hall and the ammunition storage facility, and what's your position?" Maverick too out his shotgun out of his holster and hand rest the side of the shotgun barrel near his chest.
"Ok, meet me at the main computer building at the southeastern part of the base." Cypher ran off while putting his communication device back into his vest.

"This is so boring... There's nothing interesting about this forest..." Akuma looked up at the sky as a finch flew towards its nest. He then turned around as he slowly walked back to the mansion while picking a white rose off the rose garden that Kigen had planted a few months ago.
"I guess I should download some music into my laptop." He brought the freshly bloomed rose towards his nose and took a sniff of its beautiful fragrance.
"Life is but a distortion of hell and earth. No one knows the truth of what it has told. Furry of the eye of the storm has its patience and lie. The soft winds has lies that wails..." He smiled as he saw the finch that passed him by a few minutes ago, tending to its baby hatching. His bangs then flew with this wind as he used his free hand to brush it back for a while as he continued to walk back towards the house.

Meanwhile at the gigantic Olympic pool, Kigen was just finishing her laps in the warm sun bathed pool.
"A couple more then I'll take a small break before I do an hour or so more laps." She took a deep breath as she sprinted towards the edge of the pool with her powerful strokes. She stood up in an upright position as she took off her goggle and swim cap. She then wiped off the excess water off of her face as she got out of the pool.
"That was fun... Except that we didn't have any missions to attend to for the past couple of weeks. I wonder why we didn't get any new missions after that big one we had three months ago." She walked to the bench where her towel lay. She picked it up as she dried herself off as she walked into the hallway, partly wet but not as wet as to let someone slip and fall on the black marbled tiles. She started to dry off her hair as she reached her destination.
"Hmmm... Should I make myself a big healthy sandwich or a drink?" She opened the refrigerator door as she sighted some of her favorite kinds of drinks that she usually consumes.
"Should I drink a Melona drink, Sprite, Pepsi, or a strawberry milkshake?" She closed her eyes as she reached out for a random drink. As she grabbed a cold canister, she then noticed that she got her usual sprite can. She smiled as she turned around and used her left foot to kick the fridge door close as she walked towards the stairway. Kigen pop the can open and started to gulp half of the sprite, halfway up the stairs.
____ Akuma jumped onto his bed as he faced upward towards the ceiling. He then grabbed his CD player and placed he placed his headphones on. Afterwards, he had pressed the play button as he listened to one of his favorite sand which was Linkin Park.
"I wanna run away. Never say goodbye. I wanna know the truth, Instead of wondering why. I wanna know the answers, no more lies. I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind." Akuma slowly closed his eyes as he nodded his head to the beat of the music. A slight yawn came over him as he placed his hands behind the back of his head to support it while on his pillow.
"Under a sky of dust. Another wave of tension has more that filled me up. All my talk of taking action, these words were never true." As he was nodding his head, he started to tap the air with his right foot as he started to imagine himself fighting some bad guys and tailgating it at times.
____
"Maverick, where are you now?" Cypher took a quick glimpse at the corner of the building that he was near, as he thought that he heard a little noise coming from it.
"I'm still trying to reach you." He jumped onto a closed dumpster as he jumped from a building side to get onto it's roof.
"We'll hurry up, because I think that the guards might of heard us..." He took out his automatic handgun, as he got ready for anything that goes into his path. Meanwhile a guard sat down near the base as he took a break from his duties. He took out a cigarette and a silver Zippo lighter from out of his military cargo pants pocket as he place the cigarette in-between his lips as he started to lit it up. He started to relax as he rested his back against the brick wall.
"Maverick, you better be careful. There is a guard at the front of the buildings door. I'll try to kill him with my sniper rifle so we won't alarm anyone else." Cypher aimed the rifle carefully towards the guard's heart as he took a short breath and fired. As soon as the guard exhaled the smoke from his lungs, he fell to the ground from his demise.
"Easy as cake. Now I just have to hide his body from the rest of the troops." He put his rifle away as he crept towards the dead guard and dragged the body into the dark alleyway, and placed it into a dumpster.
"Maverick, the close is clear..."
_____
Kigen went into her hallway as she took a short break from her exercise, she took a sip of her drink as she read the newspaper that was folded on top of a table.
"Hmm there's nothing good on the newspaper... All it's got is world news, shipment to the colonies in space, and local news." She started to flip some pages as she went towards the funny section.
"I guess this is the only thing that's good for the Sunday newspaper." She took a deep breath and exhaled as she went into her room to put the newspaper on her India styled bed.
"Hmmm... I wonder what Maverick and Cypher are doing at this very moment. I bet their playing their pathetic quote on quote training module..." A slight grin came out from her face as she started to walk towards the holographic control room to view their progress.
Her wet hair left a trail from her room, as she took off her towel that she wrapped on her head a few minutes ago as she let her hair dry freely. She then opened the door to the control system as she saw the theme to Maverick and Cypher's training module.
"Ahh-ha... I knew it... It is a boring training module." She then sat down on a movable computer chair as she viewed their progress at the viewing room.
______
"I've lied to you. The same way that I always do. This is the last smile. That I'll fake for the sake of being with you." He stood up as he went to the desk as he checked if his laptop was on so that he could download some more music so that he could burn some more CD's instead of purchasing it from another state that was a thousand miles await from where they're at.
He flipped up the laptops lid as it had a screensaver of Spike Spiegel being chased by Duo Maxwell with a thermal scythe. He started to type in some words as the screensaver shut off and a downloading system turned on. He then pressed the enter button as the laptop then started downloading it. "We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds. The sacrifice of hiding in a lie. We're all out of time; this is how we find how it unwinds. The sacrifice is never knowing." He then went to his bed and lay down as he closed his eyes as he took a short nap from this boring day.
____
"Hmmm... Should I... Or should I not? Um... Should!" She got up as she went to the main computer room as a slight devilish grin came upon her.
"Hey computer."
"Yes. Ms. Kigen? How may I help you?" The computer started to speak to her.
"Lock Mr. Maverick and Mr. Cypher's code so that they can't get out of my training module." She went towards the equipment room as she put on her black military pants on and some socks and military boots.
"Please insert training module code." The computer started to take the shape of Kigen's body with the laser as it started to download Kigen into the gaming module she had requested. The Laser slowly went down Kigen's body as it started up her stats on the computer.
"The code is Vr0 78-B71200-basis-durum-REX" She started to tie her shoe laces together.
"Ms. Kigen. Do you need anything else?" The computer replied.
"Yes. I need like about 15 grenades that's on a belt, 2 shot guns and their explosive bullets, a thermal rod that turns into a scythe, a communicating device so that I can call the two, and some shades." She grabbed a scrunchie as she tied the bottom of her hair together.
"Miss Kigen, do you want me to acknowledge your arrival into the game for Mr. Maverick and Mr. Cypher?" The computer replied.
"No..."
_____
Suddenly the chamber went dark. As soon as Cypher stood up, the building went away and disappeared from sight. As Maverick got off the building roof, it too vanished into thin air as trees and bushes replaced it.
"Uh... Cypher did you change the system?" Maverick scratched his head in wonder.
"Nope... I thought you did." Cypher walked around, as he got curious.
"Hey computer. Change it back to our training module. Code ARCD-6009- alphalaiger-foxtrot." Maverick waited for the computer to reply as he took out his shotgun.
"Your access is denied." The computer replied back.
"What?! By who may I ask?" His voice rose, as he couldn't believe it. Then suddenly a huge abnormal roar went under the mist.
"What in THE NINE GATES WAS THAT?! WHAT'S THE MOTIVE OF THIS GAME?" A spooked out maverick wanted a big explanation from the machine.
"I am not permitted to tell you." Meanwhile, Cypher was walking around as he noticed that the bushes were slightly moving from something.
He then crouched down as he slowly crept up towards the bush. As soon as his hands were about to open the gap to the bush, a small reptile popped its green head and looked at the fallen Cypher.
"GAH!... Hey your a dinosaur." The little thing just tilted its small head as it went away.
"Hey Maverick, are you sensing that we're not in Kansas anymore..." He got up as he got a sudden chill in his spine.
"What do you mean? We're not in Kansas anyways." The even more confused Maverick raised his eyebrow.
"I mean did you see any dinosaurs at your place?" Cypher started to walk towards a path as he let his guard fully up for anything.
"Nope... did you drink any weird liquids that make you think of crazy thoughts?" He started to get more freaked out from every word that Cypher was saying. Another huge abnormal roar was heard all though the forest.
Maverick started to twirl around to check if little dinosaurs were chasing him. A big sigh of relief has taken over him as he saw a leaf or two dancing along with the wind. He then raised his walkie-talkie close to his head, knowing that he was fine. Then suddenly, a rumble and rustling of trees and the ground has surface in an instant. He also noticed that the twigs and rocks on the ground started to move from the sure shaking of the ground. Another abnormal roar came out from nowhere. Maverick turned to the rustling trees as he took a glimpse of a huge dinosaur hear.
"WHAAA?! You GOT to be kidding me!!" The red banged dead boy started to run as the T-Rex started to chase him with his overgrown body. As fast as Maverick was going, the Rex was gaining some speed as if Maverick was a seal as a Great White Shark just wanted to toy with before it became it's prey.
"GEEZE!" CYPHER WAS RIGHT!" He then jumped up towards the bushes, as the Tyrannosaurus- Rex was about to chomp on him. He started to roll away as he got and dashed towards a nearby cave.
"Though IT"S HOLOGRAPH, IT STILL CAN EAT ME UP!!" As he got towards the entrance of a cave, the huge mouth of the carnivorous dinosaur rammed into it, almost taking a piece of Maverick's leg off.
The wide eyed teen then moved farther into the cave for safety as the Rex screamed and hollered, wanting to get a nip of this delicious morsel. Meanwhile, cypher walked towards a freshwater spring and knelt down to cool himself down in this humid terrain. He splashed his face and dampened his head with the semi-cold water. The brown-haired teen then looked at his reflection with a serious expression on his face.
"Boy I thought that this day would be dull... Till now." He went towards the shade of a big vine tree as he sat down and took a slight break from his distorted place. Far away from Cypher's resting place, a slight rustle of the bush made the teen stand up with concern.
"Hmmm... I wonder if it's the same dinosaur that I saw a few minutes ago. He then walked towards the place where he heard the rustle of the bushes, As he was about three feet away of the bush, a male Velocir raptor jumped out of the bushes and landed right in front of Cypher. The shocked Cypher went ghostly white as he stayed still as the raptor walked around him. The male raptor then called out as two more of his fellow group members came out, then another male and female came out of the bushes. With unearthly noises coming off of their mouth, as the communicated towards each other, they looked at Cypher as a voluptuous food source. The young teen took a huge gulp of his own saliva as he cringed to the fact that he might be food.
"Hey... Heh heh. I guess you don't know what I'm talking about, but don't eat me before I do something that you all will regret!" They got closer to him as Cypher slowly moved his left hand towards his back. They gradually opened their mouths as their saliva dripped from their two inched teeth. The pack stared at Cypher as he too stared back towards them. As the wind blew the leave above them, with a snap Cypher grabbed his gun and quickly shot them all in the heads with one single bullet. The pack of raptors suddenly fell roughly on the ground as one escaped the barrage attack that Cypher had pulled. The brown hair teen then climbed up the tree as fast as he could as he noticed that he ran out of bullets already.
____
The vast screams that the Rex had made in the cave suddenly irritated and nearly made the teen deaf. He covered his ears as tight as he could as he tried to block the even louder screams that came out of the monster.
"ARG!" I can't that this shit any more!! SHUT UP SHUT UP!" He got up as he took out his gun and initiated to shoot the Rex in the face.
The Rex rubbed the "itch" away as he continued to try to make the cave entrance bigger by using his huge hind legs to dig out the dirt. Maverick's eyes widen as sure fear emerged from his face. He knew that this would be the end if he didn't do anything to stop this monster from eating him. As he closed his eyes as the Rex was about to grab him with his enormous mouth, a huge explosion commenced at the entrance way of the cave as the carnivorous dinosaur collapsed to it's side as dust bellowed from underneath it. Maverick covered his eyes with his arms, as he tried not to breath the dust as it forced it's way into the cave. As he moved his arms away from his face, he opened his eyes a bit as he noticed a dark figure approaching him. He quickly aimed his gun towards the figure.
"Who are you?!" He yelled at the figure as he rubbed one of his aggravated eyes from the dust. As he closed both eyes, the figure suddenly ran towards him as it pounced on the unexpecting Maverick as he opened his eyes a bit. A small timid laughter came out of the figure as he tried to recognize the voice.
"Hell-O Mavy! Did cha miss me?" All of the sudden, she glomped him as she smiled with joy.
"What? What are you doin' here?!" He pushed her away, a bit angry from the point that she's here.
"Your in grave danger ya know that, Kige!" He got up as he dusted off the dust from off of his clothing.
"Yea I know... But well I kinda made the computer lock you and Cypher's codes so that you both couldn't get out of MY training module." She started to glomp him again as yet another smile came upon her.
"YOU WHAT?!" He pushed her away once more as a wide-eye expression filled his angered face.
"Me and Cypher could've been killed ya know that?!" He crossed his arms as he tapped his foot and waited for her reply.
"Geese you to act like a c-" As Kigen was about to finish her sentence, Maverick butted in.
"HEY WE DON'T SWING THAT WAY!" Maverick yelped as Kigen started to giggled from his expression.
"Well we better get goin' before Cypher gets eaten by a dinosaur." She stood up as she adjusted her gear and her shades that were in her pants.
"Let me call Cypher to check if he's ok." Maverick placed his earpiece for his communicator and pressed a button on his earpiece.
"Hey Cypher ya there?" He paused for a moment till he heard some static on the other side.
"I'm here... On a tree branch... Almost getting myself killed by a Raptor." He heard Cypher pant a little as Kigen walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"But your okay right?" Maverick looked at his female companion with his soft expression.
"Yep, jus some minor cuts and bruises. So are ya coming to get me or do I have to throw my useless gundam at the raptor?" The male raptor tried to munch on Cypher's shoe as he jumped up. Cypher then pulled on a branch off the tree and threw it at the raptor, hitting it on the head. The raptors hear hit the ground on impact and snarled at Cypher.
"Uh... You guys better get me before the raptor does!" Maverick replied with a yea and took out the earpiece out from his ear. He then walked towards Kigen and looked at her.
"Well we better go then." The two dashed off towards the forest with shotguns in their hands.
~~~~~
The red haired teen sat up from his bed and yawned, stretching his arms at the same time. He then rubbed his sleepy eyes as he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"So hungry..." He rubbed his stomach as he went into the hallway. He then went down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Akuma opened the refrigerator and grabbed a subway sandwich that he bought the other day but haven't had a chance to eat it for some reason. Akuma then unwrapped the sandwich from the wrap and took a big bite off of it. He then grabbed some sprite out of the refrigerator as well as closing the door to conserve the electric. Akuma walked towards the kitchen cabinet above the stove and got his favorite glass cup out from the cabinet. As he opened the can of soda with one hand, he took another bite from his sandwich and chewed it as slowly as possible. He then placed his sandwich down as he held his glass cup and poured the sprite into the cup.
"Hm... I wonder where the rest are." He grabbed his sandwich with one hand and began to eat it as he went up onto the stairs, holding the cup of sprite with the other.
~~~~
"We need to do a slight pit stop on the way... I have to gt something in this level." Kigen looked behind Maverick and shot a raptor that was about to pounce on her.
"Geeze is this your kind of fun and excitement?!" Maverick looked behind him and trips on a tree root.
He falls with a thud. Maverick squinted his eyes in pain. Everything then fell silent as he found out that Kigen went ahead of him, not knowing that he fell down. He got up slowly, trying to rub the pain away. From far away he heard a rustle of noise coming towards him. A sigh of relief came over the teen knowing that Kigen had noticed that she had left him behind. Maverick then heard a funny noise that wasn't human. He cursed himself that he misinterpreted the rustle of noise for being Kigen as a raptor was dashing towards him at high speed. He got his shotgun out of his trench coat as he aims the gun to the raptor. With one shot of his shotgun, the raptor was brought down from the force of impact of the shell. Another rustle of the bush was heard from behind. He suddenly turned hundred-eighty degrees to face this foe, aiming the shotgun at nothing. As it appeared from the bush, a sigh of relief came upon him once more.
"Aiya?! Why are you pointing a shotgun at me?!" Kigen stepped back as Maverick placed down the shotgun.
"Gomen nasai. I thought that you were a raptor." He placed the shotgun back into his trench coast as he wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead.
"Oh. Well then we better hurry up if you want me to finish this level and save Cypher at the same time." Kigen went through the bush to where she had come from a moment ago as she waited for him to hurry up.
"Geeze what level in training are you in anyways?! Level 10 on difficult?!" Maverick growled as he started to get agitated from Kigen's way of showing her true self in front of him.
"Actually... Level 30 on difficult. Akuma too is on the same level but his training is about killing vampires and demons in a planted called Hells Fury... I've played in that game and it's quite fun actually." Kigen turned her head and body a bit so that she could look at him.
"WHAT?! NOWAY! Me and Cypher are on level 9 on difficult in our training module." Maverick scowled as a sudden pout came over him.
"How long have you been in this training module?" Kigen asked as a sweatdrop formed in the back of her head.
"Well two months at the most..." He slumped down a bit, feeling depressed.
"See... Akuma and me have been doing our training module for one and a half months and our training on the C.O.R.E was on high as well for some reason. Akuma and me had a lot of training on these kinds of stuff. I guess they put us all together because we exceeded on our test and stuff but don't worry you'll be at the same rate sooner than you thought." Kigen similed as Maverick looked back at her and smiled.
"I guess your right... Welp let's go." He walked towards her as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I wont tell Cypher if that's what you want?" Kigen giggled a bit.
"If you want to." He smiled. "You wanna try Akuma's training mode?" The two of them started to run. "Sure, but you better not give me the easy mode."
"Looks like Imma do everything myself. Maybe I could use some help. But hell, you want something done right. You gotta do it yourself." Akuma went into his room, with a half eaten sandwich and a can of sprite that was still full enough to see from the opening.
"Maybe life has been up and down like a roller coaster; during these past few days. But, my life's been what now? I crawled up your ass from hell. And that's when things got turned around." He placed his junk food on his computer table as he checked his laptop's progress with his downloading.
"It used to be a lie. And now it feels pathetic. And now I get it. What's done is done. You just leave it alone. And don't regret it. Sometimes some things turn into dumb things. And that's when you put your foot down." It was halfway down but still Akuma still had nothing to do at the time it was processing. He started to muttered a bit as he got his sandwich and his soda in his hands and walked out of his room. He then noticed that the Control Room for the holographic chamber was rattling.
Then he thought to himself, "I guess they're in there when I took a light nap for the day..." He started to grin a devilish grin as he went into the control room to see what they were doing. As he opened the control door, a loud explosion started up as the room started to shake from the sheer force of impact.
"Geeze! I bet this is Kigen's training module, knowing that she loves to tare up the whole place." Akuma almost tripped on him as another explosion had commenced as he tried to reach the control system. As he sat down, he had now noticed the true intensity of the battleground. A soft whistle came upon him, as he was shocked, yet intrigued.
"I'm amazed. That girl can pack a punch in her training. But she can be a softy when she's not in a mission, in her training, or aggravated by someone." He then looked at the computer screen as he took a glimpse of her stats.
"Kigen's on her 31st level... Soon she'll be heading to another course." He then looked at Maverick and Cypher's stats. A sluggish laugh came upon the teen as he took a sip of his drink.
"They're on Level one... On a level 31 game." He took a moment as he laughs his head off and nearly fell off the computer chair. Tears started to form at the corner of his eyes as he pounded his fist on the control desk.
"This is ludicrous. SHEER LUDICROUS!" He tried to calm himself down as he continued to laugh, holding his stomach from the pain from laughing to hard.
~~~
BOOM! A huge explosion was heard and was seen everywhere as Kigen and Maverick had fasten their pace as she threw a grenade behind them.
"We have to hurry! I think I heard a larger dinosaur behind us." Kigen pulled the pin out with her teeth as she threw another grenade behind them. A slight moment of silence came about as another huge explosion came in after it. Maverick covered his head as debris from the blast flew towards the two teens.
"I think we should get Cypher now!" Maverick screamed as another explosion had erupted. "You know what?! Kigen stopped as she turned around as she aimed up at the top of the tree canopy as nothing but silence was heard, after the blast faded away. Maverick quickly stopped, as he was a bit confused on why she has stopped abruptly as he thought that the huge monster was coming in their way.
"Aren't you going to go now? The huge dino is coming and your here, standing your ground?!" He started to clench his fist tightly, knowing that Kigen gets all stubborn when something gets in her way.
"I'm not going to quit this game till I destroy one more dinosaur..." A loud abnormal scream was heard beneath the trees as a few reptilian birds flew out from the canopy.
"Ha... You're finally here. To meet your maker.!" As she got ready to shoot, a bloody T-Rex popped out from the trees, charging towards the duo.
"Die!" Kigen pressed the trigger to her shotgun as it shot a few fragment bullets to the Rex. The bullets hit the Rex right inside its mouth as it tried to shake the pain away. Blood was pouring from inside of its mouth as it started to charge towards them.
"Aren't you goin' to help me?" Kigen looked at maverick as she threw a grenade at the creature's body. The blast from the explosion threw the Rex a few feet away as Maverick took out two of his shotguns and started to shoot.
~~~
"Oh what's this?" Akuma placed his finger on a screen. The screen then started to zoom in at the place that Akuma had touched. There, he started to see a Rex trying to go towards Kigen and Maverick.
"I hope that she'll be able to Kill this Rex this time..." Akuma leaned back on his chair as he remembered the day that Kigen came out from the holographic chamber with gashes on her arms, a bruised face, and a fractured left leg. He was lucky that he was in the control room to stop the carnage from proceeding.
"She nearly blacked out when she reached the holographic chamber door. And she lost a lot of blood that day..." He sighed deeply as he looked at the screen as a teardrop fell down his cheek. He then looked at the screen once more as he took a deep breath. Akuma looked at the communication device that was linked to Kigen's earpiece. A small smile came out from his face as he put it into his ear and pressed a button.
"Yo! Kigen do ya want me to stop the module for a bit. You look ruffled up right now. And besides, from the look at the time it's been 9 hours since you guys been in there since I could recall..." As he stood up and looked down from the viewing screen, he spotted Kigen looking up as Maverick kept on shooting the carnivore.
"What's it to ya?" Kigen replied back as she threw her empty shotgun and reached for another in her back.
"Well it looks like your having a bit of trouble snarling at you with it putrid breath." A slight chuckle came upon the red-haired teen.
"I guess you can. But before you do anything, is Cypher still alright?"Kigen and Maverick started to walk backwards as the Rex started to scream its unbearable scream.
"Hey comp, how's Cypher?" Akuma looked behind him as a slight cough came out of him.
"Akuma. He's fine, sir." The computer implied as Akuma pressed the link to Kigen's signal.
"He's fine, so now do you want me to turn off the module?" He started to tap his finger on the desk as he waited for her reply.
"Okay, now you can. But next time, I'm not letting you turn this off just yet." She informed him as everything around the two started to fade away. Cypher looked around then noticed that he was still on the tree limb and fell down with a thud as the tree vanished without a trace. Maverick and Kigen lowered their shotguns as they walked towards Cypher.
"Man, can you guys at least inform me when you're shutting off the system so I wouldn't fall on my ass again..." Cypher stood up as he started to rub the pain off his rear.
"So... Are you guys' hungry? Because you all were in there, exercising your butts off so I figured that I'll treat you guys to a fancy restaurant, how about that?" Akuma walked towards the equipment room.
"How about what?" Akuma walked towards the equipment room as he opened the door to let them inside.
"If you say so, Akuma." Kigen smiled as she walked inside first and took off the things that she had brought into the game module. The two followed behind as they took off their communication device and placed their guns over the counter.
"So I'll wait for you all to get cleaned up and dress alright?" The three nodded as they all went out of the control room and towards their own, as they got ready.
The winds have fallen as the day turns into night. Forever the stars will bewilder the dimmed light. Another good day, another good night. For what has come for tomorrow is out of sight. Who is she, is she neurotic at the heart, for the beat of darkness flows through and what not... On the next episode... Destruction: Eve
Kigen: What do you mean? Do we have a new enemy?!
Akuma: Is she cute?
Maverick: Will she be the one that plans our dreadful demise? Or is our enemy a he?
Cypher: No comment...
Akuma: Umm... Is she going to go out with me?
Maverick, Kigen, and Cypher: Shut up with that!
Will the team have a chance to beat her on the next spisode or will they *looks to the left then to the right* end up in their untimely death?
Kigen: Hey don't say that! Or you'll jinx us all to death!
Maverick: Your giving us BACHI!!
Akuma: Are we goin to die?! *whines*
Cypher: ... Hey DON'T LOOK AT ME, I said no comment before!?
Maybe this bickering is the end of this team... *sighs and walks off, still hearing the four bickering about their personal life.*
"The silent winds, fell through the night sky as the moon light beams towards earth. But what stricken a person to the dark corridors is unknown to us all. What bewildered souls would manage themselves to stay down on earth to do whatever they did before their unfortunate death and haunt us all?"
Days have past and boredom has crept it way to the young teens. Maverick and Cypher played their way into a holographic game that soon bore them as hours had passed by. Akuma went outside and into the forest that was near to Kigen's Mansion. While Kigen on the other hand, stayed at her Olympic size pool and did her laps. It's been a typical, yet boring day as usual. No mission to get all-rambunctious about, no thrill of being caught by guards, and no targets to shoot. This was just a typical day of boredom, a thing that the team really despised.
"Maverick... What's your position..." Cypher took out his walkie- talkie as he crept towards a hangar." I'm in-between the mess hall and the ammunition storage facility, and what's your position?" Maverick too out his shotgun out of his holster and hand rest the side of the shotgun barrel near his chest.
"Ok, meet me at the main computer building at the southeastern part of the base." Cypher ran off while putting his communication device back into his vest.

"This is so boring... There's nothing interesting about this forest..." Akuma looked up at the sky as a finch flew towards its nest. He then turned around as he slowly walked back to the mansion while picking a white rose off the rose garden that Kigen had planted a few months ago.
"I guess I should download some music into my laptop." He brought the freshly bloomed rose towards his nose and took a sniff of its beautiful fragrance.
"Life is but a distortion of hell and earth. No one knows the truth of what it has told. Furry of the eye of the storm has its patience and lie. The soft winds has lies that wails..." He smiled as he saw the finch that passed him by a few minutes ago, tending to its baby hatching. His bangs then flew with this wind as he used his free hand to brush it back for a while as he continued to walk back towards the house.

Meanwhile at the gigantic Olympic pool, Kigen was just finishing her laps in the warm sun bathed pool.
"A couple more then I'll take a small break before I do an hour or so more laps." She took a deep breath as she sprinted towards the edge of the pool with her powerful strokes. She stood up in an upright position as she took off her goggle and swim cap. She then wiped off the excess water off of her face as she got out of the pool.
"That was fun... Except that we didn't have any missions to attend to for the past couple of weeks. I wonder why we didn't get any new missions after that big one we had three months ago." She walked to the bench where her towel lay. She picked it up as she dried herself off as she walked into the hallway, partly wet but not as wet as to let someone slip and fall on the black marbled tiles. She started to dry off her hair as she reached her destination.
"Hmmm... Should I make myself a big healthy sandwich or a drink?" She opened the refrigerator door as she sighted some of her favorite kinds of drinks that she usually consumes.
"Should I drink a Melona drink, Sprite, Pepsi, or a strawberry milkshake?" She closed her eyes as she reached out for a random drink. As she grabbed a cold canister, she then noticed that she got her usual sprite can. She smiled as she turned around and used her left foot to kick the fridge door close as she walked towards the stairway. Kigen pop the can open and started to gulp half of the sprite, halfway up the stairs.
____ Akuma jumped onto his bed as he faced upward towards the ceiling. He then grabbed his CD player and placed he placed his headphones on. Afterwards, he had pressed the play button as he listened to one of his favorite sand which was Linkin Park.
"I wanna run away. Never say goodbye. I wanna know the truth, Instead of wondering why. I wanna know the answers, no more lies. I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind." Akuma slowly closed his eyes as he nodded his head to the beat of the music. A slight yawn came over him as he placed his hands behind the back of his head to support it while on his pillow.
"Under a sky of dust. Another wave of tension has more that filled me up. All my talk of taking action, these words were never true." As he was nodding his head, he started to tap the air with his right foot as he started to imagine himself fighting some bad guys and tailgating it at times.
____
"Maverick, where are you now?" Cypher took a quick glimpse at the corner of the building that he was near, as he thought that he heard a little noise coming from it.
"I'm still trying to reach you." He jumped onto a closed dumpster as he jumped from a building side to get onto it's roof.
"We'll hurry up, because I think that the guards might of heard us..." He took out his automatic handgun, as he got ready for anything that goes into his path. Meanwhile a guard sat down near the base as he took a break from his duties. He took out a cigarette and a silver Zippo lighter from out of his military cargo pants pocket as he place the cigarette in-between his lips as he started to lit it up. He started to relax as he rested his back against the brick wall.
"Maverick, you better be careful. There is a guard at the front of the buildings door. I'll try to kill him with my sniper rifle so we won't alarm anyone else." Cypher aimed the rifle carefully towards the guard's heart as he took a short breath and fired. As soon as the guard exhaled the smoke from his lungs, he fell to the ground from his demise.
"Easy as cake. Now I just have to hide his body from the rest of the troops." He put his rifle away as he crept towards the dead guard and dragged the body into the dark alleyway, and placed it into a dumpster.
"Maverick, the close is clear..."
_____
Kigen went into her hallway as she took a short break from her exercise, she took a sip of her drink as she read the newspaper that was folded on top of a table.
"Hmm there's nothing good on the newspaper... All it's got is world news, shipment to the colonies in space, and local news." She started to flip some pages as she went towards the funny section.
"I guess this is the only thing that's good for the Sunday newspaper." She took a deep breath and exhaled as she went into her room to put the newspaper on her India styled bed.
"Hmmm... I wonder what Maverick and Cypher are doing at this very moment. I bet their playing their pathetic quote on quote training module..." A slight grin came out from her face as she started to walk towards the holographic control room to view their progress.
Her wet hair left a trail from her room, as she took off her towel that she wrapped on her head a few minutes ago as she let her hair dry freely. She then opened the door to the control system as she saw the theme to Maverick and Cypher's training module.
"Ahh-ha... I knew it... It is a boring training module." She then sat down on a movable computer chair as she viewed their progress at the viewing room.
______
"I've lied to you. The same way that I always do. This is the last smile. That I'll fake for the sake of being with you." He stood up as he went to the desk as he checked if his laptop was on so that he could download some more music so that he could burn some more CD's instead of purchasing it from another state that was a thousand miles await from where they're at.
He flipped up the laptops lid as it had a screensaver of Spike Spiegel being chased by Duo Maxwell with a thermal scythe. He started to type in some words as the screensaver shut off and a downloading system turned on. He then pressed the enter button as the laptop then started downloading it. "We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds. The sacrifice of hiding in a lie. We're all out of time; this is how we find how it unwinds. The sacrifice is never knowing." He then went to his bed and lay down as he closed his eyes as he took a short nap from this boring day.
____
"Hmmm... Should I... Or should I not? Um... Should!" She got up as she went to the main computer room as a slight devilish grin came upon her.
"Hey computer."
"Yes. Ms. Kigen? How may I help you?" The computer started to speak to her.
"Lock Mr. Maverick and Mr. Cypher's code so that they can't get out of my training module." She went towards the equipment room as she put on her black military pants on and some socks and military boots.
"Please insert training module code." The computer started to take the shape of Kigen's body with the laser as it started to download Kigen into the gaming module she had requested. The Laser slowly went down Kigen's body as it started up her stats on the computer.
"The code is Vr0 78-B71200-basis-durum-REX" She started to tie her shoe laces together.
"Ms. Kigen. Do you need anything else?" The computer replied.
"Yes. I need like about 15 grenades that's on a belt, 2 shot guns and their explosive bullets, a thermal rod that turns into a scythe, a communicating device so that I can call the two, and some shades." She grabbed a scrunchie as she tied the bottom of her hair together.
"Miss Kigen, do you want me to acknowledge your arrival into the game for Mr. Maverick and Mr. Cypher?" The computer replied.
"No..."
_____
Suddenly the chamber went dark. As soon as Cypher stood up, the building went away and disappeared from sight. As Maverick got off the building roof, it too vanished into thin air as trees and bushes replaced it.
"Uh... Cypher did you change the system?" Maverick scratched his head in wonder.
"Nope... I thought you did." Cypher walked around, as he got curious.
"Hey computer. Change it back to our training module. Code ARCD-6009- alphalaiger-foxtrot." Maverick waited for the computer to reply as he took out his shotgun.
"Your access is denied." The computer replied back.
"What?! By who may I ask?" His voice rose, as he couldn't believe it. Then suddenly a huge abnormal roar went under the mist.
"What in THE NINE GATES WAS THAT?! WHAT'S THE MOTIVE OF THIS GAME?" A spooked out maverick wanted a big explanation from the machine.
"I am not permitted to tell you." Meanwhile, Cypher was walking around as he noticed that the bushes were slightly moving from something.
He then crouched down as he slowly crept up towards the bush. As soon as his hands were about to open the gap to the bush, a small reptile popped its green head and looked at the fallen Cypher.
"GAH!... Hey your a dinosaur." The little thing just tilted its small head as it went away.
"Hey Maverick, are you sensing that we're not in Kansas anymore..." He got up as he got a sudden chill in his spine.
"What do you mean? We're not in Kansas anyways." The even more confused Maverick raised his eyebrow.
"I mean did you see any dinosaurs at your place?" Cypher started to walk towards a path as he let his guard fully up for anything.
"Nope... did you drink any weird liquids that make you think of crazy thoughts?" He started to get more freaked out from every word that Cypher was saying. Another huge abnormal roar was heard all though the forest.
Maverick started to twirl around to check if little dinosaurs were chasing him. A big sigh of relief has taken over him as he saw a leaf or two dancing along with the wind. He then raised his walkie-talkie close to his head, knowing that he was fine. Then suddenly, a rumble and rustling of trees and the ground has surface in an instant. He also noticed that the twigs and rocks on the ground started to move from the sure shaking of the ground. Another abnormal roar came out from nowhere. Maverick turned to the rustling trees as he took a glimpse of a huge dinosaur hear.
"WHAAA?! You GOT to be kidding me!!" The red banged dead boy started to run as the T-Rex started to chase him with his overgrown body. As fast as Maverick was going, the Rex was gaining some speed as if Maverick was a seal as a Great White Shark just wanted to toy with before it became it's prey.
"GEEZE!" CYPHER WAS RIGHT!" He then jumped up towards the bushes, as the Tyrannosaurus- Rex was about to chomp on him. He started to roll away as he got and dashed towards a nearby cave.
"Though IT"S HOLOGRAPH, IT STILL CAN EAT ME UP!!" As he got towards the entrance of a cave, the huge mouth of the carnivorous dinosaur rammed into it, almost taking a piece of Maverick's leg off.
The wide eyed teen then moved farther into the cave for safety as the Rex screamed and hollered, wanting to get a nip of this delicious morsel. Meanwhile, cypher walked towards a freshwater spring and knelt down to cool himself down in this humid terrain. He splashed his face and dampened his head with the semi-cold water. The brown-haired teen then looked at his reflection with a serious expression on his face.
"Boy I thought that this day would be dull... Till now." He went towards the shade of a big vine tree as he sat down and took a slight break from his distorted place. Far away from Cypher's resting place, a slight rustle of the bush made the teen stand up with concern.
"Hmmm... I wonder if it's the same dinosaur that I saw a few minutes ago. He then walked towards the place where he heard the rustle of the bushes, As he was about three feet away of the bush, a male Velocir raptor jumped out of the bushes and landed right in front of Cypher. The shocked Cypher went ghostly white as he stayed still as the raptor walked around him. The male raptor then called out as two more of his fellow group members came out, then another male and female came out of the bushes. With unearthly noises coming off of their mouth, as the communicated towards each other, they looked at Cypher as a voluptuous food source. The young teen took a huge gulp of his own saliva as he cringed to the fact that he might be food.
"Hey... Heh heh. I guess you don't know what I'm talking about, but don't eat me before I do something that you all will regret!" They got closer to him as Cypher slowly moved his left hand towards his back. They gradually opened their mouths as their saliva dripped from their two inched teeth. The pack stared at Cypher as he too stared back towards them. As the wind blew the leave above them, with a snap Cypher grabbed his gun and quickly shot them all in the heads with one single bullet. The pack of raptors suddenly fell roughly on the ground as one escaped the barrage attack that Cypher had pulled. The brown hair teen then climbed up the tree as fast as he could as he noticed that he ran out of bullets already.
____
The vast screams that the Rex had made in the cave suddenly irritated and nearly made the teen deaf. He covered his ears as tight as he could as he tried to block the even louder screams that came out of the monster.
"ARG!" I can't that this shit any more!! SHUT UP SHUT UP!" He got up as he took out his gun and initiated to shoot the Rex in the face.
The Rex rubbed the "itch" away as he continued to try to make the cave entrance bigger by using his huge hind legs to dig out the dirt. Maverick's eyes widen as sure fear emerged from his face. He knew that this would be the end if he didn't do anything to stop this monster from eating him. As he closed his eyes as the Rex was about to grab him with his enormous mouth, a huge explosion commenced at the entrance way of the cave as the carnivorous dinosaur collapsed to it's side as dust bellowed from underneath it. Maverick covered his eyes with his arms, as he tried not to breath the dust as it forced it's way into the cave. As he moved his arms away from his face, he opened his eyes a bit as he noticed a dark figure approaching him. He quickly aimed his gun towards the figure.
"Who are you?!" He yelled at the figure as he rubbed one of his aggravated eyes from the dust. As he closed both eyes, the figure suddenly ran towards him as it pounced on the unexpecting Maverick as he opened his eyes a bit. A small timid laughter came out of the figure as he tried to recognize the voice.
"Hell-O Mavy! Did cha miss me?" All of the sudden, she glomped him as she smiled with joy.
"What? What are you doin' here?!" He pushed her away, a bit angry from the point that she's here.
"Your in grave danger ya know that, Kige!" He got up as he dusted off the dust from off of his clothing.
"Yea I know... But well I kinda made the computer lock you and Cypher's codes so that you both couldn't get out of MY training module." She started to glomp him again as yet another smile came upon her.
"YOU WHAT?!" He pushed her away once more as a wide-eye expression filled his angered face.
"Me and Cypher could've been killed ya know that?!" He crossed his arms as he tapped his foot and waited for her reply.
"Geese you to act like a c-" As Kigen was about to finish her sentence, Maverick butted in.
"HEY WE DON'T SWING THAT WAY!" Maverick yelped as Kigen started to giggled from his expression.
"Well we better get goin' before Cypher gets eaten by a dinosaur." She stood up as she adjusted her gear and her shades that were in her pants.
"Let me call Cypher to check if he's ok." Maverick placed his earpiece for his communicator and pressed a button on his earpiece.
"Hey Cypher ya there?" He paused for a moment till he heard some static on the other side.
"I'm here... On a tree branch... Almost getting myself killed by a Raptor." He heard Cypher pant a little as Kigen walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"But your okay right?" Maverick looked at his female companion with his soft expression.
"Yep, jus some minor cuts and bruises. So are ya coming to get me or do I have to throw my useless gundam at the raptor?" The male raptor tried to munch on Cypher's shoe as he jumped up. Cypher then pulled on a branch off the tree and threw it at the raptor, hitting it on the head. The raptors hear hit the ground on impact and snarled at Cypher.
"Uh... You guys better get me before the raptor does!" Maverick replied with a yea and took out the earpiece out from his ear. He then walked towards Kigen and looked at her.
"Well we better go then." The two dashed off towards the forest with shotguns in their hands.
~~~~~
The red haired teen sat up from his bed and yawned, stretching his arms at the same time. He then rubbed his sleepy eyes as he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"So hungry..." He rubbed his stomach as he went into the hallway. He then went down the stairs and into the kitchen.
Akuma opened the refrigerator and grabbed a subway sandwich that he bought the other day but haven't had a chance to eat it for some reason. Akuma then unwrapped the sandwich from the wrap and took a big bite off of it. He then grabbed some sprite out of the refrigerator as well as closing the door to conserve the electric. Akuma walked towards the kitchen cabinet above the stove and got his favorite glass cup out from the cabinet. As he opened the can of soda with one hand, he took another bite from his sandwich and chewed it as slowly as possible. He then placed his sandwich down as he held his glass cup and poured the sprite into the cup.
"Hm... I wonder where the rest are." He grabbed his sandwich with one hand and began to eat it as he went up onto the stairs, holding the cup of sprite with the other.
~~~~
"We need to do a slight pit stop on the way... I have to gt something in this level." Kigen looked behind Maverick and shot a raptor that was about to pounce on her.
"Geeze is this your kind of fun and excitement?!" Maverick looked behind him and trips on a tree root.
He falls with a thud. Maverick squinted his eyes in pain. Everything then fell silent as he found out that Kigen went ahead of him, not knowing that he fell down. He got up slowly, trying to rub the pain away. From far away he heard a rustle of noise coming towards him. A sigh of relief came over the teen knowing that Kigen had noticed that she had left him behind. Maverick then heard a funny noise that wasn't human. He cursed himself that he misinterpreted the rustle of noise for being Kigen as a raptor was dashing towards him at high speed. He got his shotgun out of his trench coat as he aims the gun to the raptor. With one shot of his shotgun, the raptor was brought down from the force of impact of the shell. Another rustle of the bush was heard from behind. He suddenly turned hundred-eighty degrees to face this foe, aiming the shotgun at nothing. As it appeared from the bush, a sigh of relief came upon him once more.
"Aiya?! Why are you pointing a shotgun at me?!" Kigen stepped back as Maverick placed down the shotgun.
"Gomen nasai. I thought that you were a raptor." He placed the shotgun back into his trench coast as he wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead.
"Oh. Well then we better hurry up if you want me to finish this level and save Cypher at the same time." Kigen went through the bush to where she had come from a moment ago as she waited for him to hurry up.
"Geeze what level in training are you in anyways?! Level 10 on difficult?!" Maverick growled as he started to get agitated from Kigen's way of showing her true self in front of him.
"Actually... Level 30 on difficult. Akuma too is on the same level but his training is about killing vampires and demons in a planted called Hells Fury... I've played in that game and it's quite fun actually." Kigen turned her head and body a bit so that she could look at him.
"WHAT?! NOWAY! Me and Cypher are on level 9 on difficult in our training module." Maverick scowled as a sudden pout came over him.
"How long have you been in this training module?" Kigen asked as a sweatdrop formed in the back of her head.
"Well two months at the most..." He slumped down a bit, feeling depressed.
"See... Akuma and me have been doing our training module for one and a half months and our training on the C.O.R.E was on high as well for some reason. Akuma and me had a lot of training on these kinds of stuff. I guess they put us all together because we exceeded on our test and stuff but don't worry you'll be at the same rate sooner than you thought." Kigen similed as Maverick looked back at her and smiled.
"I guess your right... Welp let's go." He walked towards her as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I wont tell Cypher if that's what you want?" Kigen giggled a bit.
"If you want to." He smiled. "You wanna try Akuma's training mode?" The two of them started to run. "Sure, but you better not give me the easy mode."
"Looks like Imma do everything myself. Maybe I could use some help. But hell, you want something done right. You gotta do it yourself." Akuma went into his room, with a half eaten sandwich and a can of sprite that was still full enough to see from the opening.
"Maybe life has been up and down like a roller coaster; during these past few days. But, my life's been what now? I crawled up your ass from hell. And that's when things got turned around." He placed his junk food on his computer table as he checked his laptop's progress with his downloading.
"It used to be a lie. And now it feels pathetic. And now I get it. What's done is done. You just leave it alone. And don't regret it. Sometimes some things turn into dumb things. And that's when you put your foot down." It was halfway down but still Akuma still had nothing to do at the time it was processing. He started to muttered a bit as he got his sandwich and his soda in his hands and walked out of his room. He then noticed that the Control Room for the holographic chamber was rattling.
Then he thought to himself, "I guess they're in there when I took a light nap for the day..." He started to grin a devilish grin as he went into the control room to see what they were doing. As he opened the control door, a loud explosion started up as the room started to shake from the sheer force of impact.
"Geeze! I bet this is Kigen's training module, knowing that she loves to tare up the whole place." Akuma almost tripped on him as another explosion had commenced as he tried to reach the control system. As he sat down, he had now noticed the true intensity of the battleground. A soft whistle came upon him, as he was shocked, yet intrigued.
"I'm amazed. That girl can pack a punch in her training. But she can be a softy when she's not in a mission, in her training, or aggravated by someone." He then looked at the computer screen as he took a glimpse of her stats.
"Kigen's on her 31st level... Soon she'll be heading to another course." He then looked at Maverick and Cypher's stats. A sluggish laugh came upon the teen as he took a sip of his drink.
"They're on Level one... On a level 31 game." He took a moment as he laughs his head off and nearly fell off the computer chair. Tears started to form at the corner of his eyes as he pounded his fist on the control desk.
"This is ludicrous. SHEER LUDICROUS!" He tried to calm himself down as he continued to laugh, holding his stomach from the pain from laughing to hard.
~~~
BOOM! A huge explosion was heard and was seen everywhere as Kigen and Maverick had fasten their pace as she threw a grenade behind them.
"We have to hurry! I think I heard a larger dinosaur behind us." Kigen pulled the pin out with her teeth as she threw another grenade behind them. A slight moment of silence came about as another huge explosion came in after it. Maverick covered his head as debris from the blast flew towards the two teens.
"I think we should get Cypher now!" Maverick screamed as another explosion had erupted. "You know what?! Kigen stopped as she turned around as she aimed up at the top of the tree canopy as nothing but silence was heard, after the blast faded away. Maverick quickly stopped, as he was a bit confused on why she has stopped abruptly as he thought that the huge monster was coming in their way.
"Aren't you going to go now? The huge dino is coming and your here, standing your ground?!" He started to clench his fist tightly, knowing that Kigen gets all stubborn when something gets in her way.
"I'm not going to quit this game till I destroy one more dinosaur..." A loud abnormal scream was heard beneath the trees as a few reptilian birds flew out from the canopy.
"Ha... You're finally here. To meet your maker.!" As she got ready to shoot, a bloody T-Rex popped out from the trees, charging towards the duo.
"Die!" Kigen pressed the trigger to her shotgun as it shot a few fragment bullets to the Rex. The bullets hit the Rex right inside its mouth as it tried to shake the pain away. Blood was pouring from inside of its mouth as it started to charge towards them.
"Aren't you goin' to help me?" Kigen looked at maverick as she threw a grenade at the creature's body. The blast from the explosion threw the Rex a few feet away as Maverick took out two of his shotguns and started to shoot.
~~~
"Oh what's this?" Akuma placed his finger on a screen. The screen then started to zoom in at the place that Akuma had touched. There, he started to see a Rex trying to go towards Kigen and Maverick.
"I hope that she'll be able to Kill this Rex this time..." Akuma leaned back on his chair as he remembered the day that Kigen came out from the holographic chamber with gashes on her arms, a bruised face, and a fractured left leg. He was lucky that he was in the control room to stop the carnage from proceeding.
"She nearly blacked out when she reached the holographic chamber door. And she lost a lot of blood that day..." He sighed deeply as he looked at the screen as a teardrop fell down his cheek. He then looked at the screen once more as he took a deep breath. Akuma looked at the communication device that was linked to Kigen's earpiece. A small smile came out from his face as he put it into his ear and pressed a button.
"Yo! Kigen do ya want me to stop the module for a bit. You look ruffled up right now. And besides, from the look at the time it's been 9 hours since you guys been in there since I could recall..." As he stood up and looked down from the viewing screen, he spotted Kigen looking up as Maverick kept on shooting the carnivore.
"What's it to ya?" Kigen replied back as she threw her empty shotgun and reached for another in her back.
"Well it looks like your having a bit of trouble snarling at you with it putrid breath." A slight chuckle came upon the red-haired teen.
"I guess you can. But before you do anything, is Cypher still alright?"Kigen and Maverick started to walk backwards as the Rex started to scream its unbearable scream.
"Hey comp, how's Cypher?" Akuma looked behind him as a slight cough came out of him.
"Akuma. He's fine, sir." The computer implied as Akuma pressed the link to Kigen's signal.
"He's fine, so now do you want me to turn off the module?" He started to tap his finger on the desk as he waited for her reply.
"Okay, now you can. But next time, I'm not letting you turn this off just yet." She informed him as everything around the two started to fade away. Cypher looked around then noticed that he was still on the tree limb and fell down with a thud as the tree vanished without a trace. Maverick and Kigen lowered their shotguns as they walked towards Cypher.
"Man, can you guys at least inform me when you're shutting off the system so I wouldn't fall on my ass again..." Cypher stood up as he started to rub the pain off his rear.
"So... Are you guys' hungry? Because you all were in there, exercising your butts off so I figured that I'll treat you guys to a fancy restaurant, how about that?" Akuma walked towards the equipment room.
"How about what?" Akuma walked towards the equipment room as he opened the door to let them inside.
"If you say so, Akuma." Kigen smiled as she walked inside first and took off the things that she had brought into the game module. The two followed behind as they took off their communication device and placed their guns over the counter.
"So I'll wait for you all to get cleaned up and dress alright?" The three nodded as they all went out of the control room and towards their own, as they got ready.
The winds have fallen as the day turns into night. Forever the stars will bewilder the dimmed light. Another good day, another good night. For what has come for tomorrow is out of sight. Who is she, is she neurotic at the heart, for the beat of darkness flows through and what not... On the next episode... Destruction: Eve
Kigen: What do you mean? Do we have a new enemy?!
Akuma: Is she cute?
Maverick: Will she be the one that plans our dreadful demise? Or is our enemy a he?
Cypher: No comment...
Akuma: Umm... Is she going to go out with me?
Maverick, Kigen, and Cypher: Shut up with that!
Will the team have a chance to beat her on the next spisode or will they *looks to the left then to the right* end up in their untimely death?
Kigen: Hey don't say that! Or you'll jinx us all to death!
Maverick: Your giving us BACHI!!
Akuma: Are we goin to die?! *whines*
Cypher: ... Hey DON'T LOOK AT ME, I said no comment before!?
Maybe this bickering is the end of this team... *sighs and walks off, still hearing the four bickering about their personal life.*
