Spider's Fortune Card

Chapter 2: How the Bounty Hunters became to be

Nyehehehehee!!! SHPIDAH MAGIC!!!!

If you're wondering if Uzu-Chan has gone on drugs for writing actual non script crap, well, I know how you feel, it's hard for myself to believe! After 2 years of just humor, now look at me! I'm writing character death, agnst, and actual plot o0. Keh, hopefully putting my stories in .doc format will have better results than .txt. This is my first fic with experimenting with this newly found knowledge.

Axl: .. But it's been on for 3 years-

SHUT UP YOU!!! (chases him off)

Apparently it is still the same, and being a bitch. How many people miss those stars? I know I do (sniff).

That and, either my theory is right, or Capcom has a major fugging plot hole on their hands. :P Only time will tell.

Beyond this I only have one thing to say: TWOTAILS!!!! (I hope you know where this is going..)

Had it really been so long? Leaning back against a maple tree (See! Canadian referrence! XP Now just guess were I was born!) Spider chewed on a reed. Of course the reed could have been covered with anything worth the means of not knowing, but that did not daunt him a bit. Mindlessly he thumbed through his packet of metallic playing cards. Each one given to him by Jack and the rest of the team. Had it ended there? What else had happened since that forlorn day?

The wind blew to the east. He had spent days just walking. Walking away from everything. He mind was always racing. Racing on the events, on the horror, on the.. loss.

The gentle breeze swayed his hat to the left, and quite frankly he didn't seem to have an ounce of care. Running himself ragged until he either dropped from exhaustion or dehydrated, heh, which ever came first. Twigs crunched under his feet for the umpteenth time, the hollow cracking becoming almost inaudible. It was only sharp gun-round that brought him out of his reverie.

He snapped head to his right when he heard some one cuss behind the foilage of the forest. Cautiously he inched over to look past a bush. He was greeted by the sight of a pale brown reploid. (Take a guess CM lovers)

Cursing and sputtering the reploid paced back and forth in a very anxious manner.

"I let him get away. Stupid fucking bush. Stupid fucking leaves!!! Can't see a damn thing!" Waving his plasma gun to and thro in the air the reploid just seemed to get more flustered. "STUPID FU-"

"Woa woa there buddy. No need to tell the world." As Spider advanced the other held up his gun to chest level.


"Who are you and what buisness is it of yours?"

Completly ignoring the death threat at which the reploid tried its best at looking menacing, Spider continued to come closer. Finally he halted a few meters away. "Who'd you let get away?"

"Ohh.." Seeing he wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer, the other gave up his facade. "Just some reploid I've been after.."

"For money?"

"Ya. I'm a bounty hunter." The brown clicked his gun back into his holster belt.

This pricked the black's curiousity. Bounty hunter.. was this the same as 'Maverick Hunter'?

"So, you kill reploids for money?"

There was a hesitant pause from the other reploid. "I wish you wouldn't speak of it that way.."

"Well, it's what you do, is it not?"

Sheepishly the bounty hunter shuffled his left foot. "Ok. Yes."

"Ok, so we've stated what you do. Now who do you do it for?"

"My employer."

"Which is?"

"Whoever's willing to pay a buck."

"Sheesh man! What did you do to wind up so bad in the hole?!" Annoyed the pale brown reploid started to walk away.

"Wait!! What's your name?" Unifusiasticly the brown turned halfway.

"Name's Aile, now get lost."

What the start of a 'beeeaautiful' relationship. Spider, intrigued did not in fact leave Aile alone, but instead followed him, prodding him about other personal information for nearly an hour.

When they had arrived at the area that Aile's employer resided it was well over noon. Contrary to their first meeting, both reploids seemed to get along almost as well as best friends. As soon as Aile's employer had met the shady reploid, he too took a liking for him imediatly. Aile's loss was forgotten.

Aile had been sought out by a burgandy and black reploid by the name of Mach Karten. He wore a black scarf that was carelessly flicked around the side of his shoulder, and he had deep green peircing eyes that changed to a light sharp silver when he would be angry or worried. The top part of his armor was jet black, it finished just up to the higher part of his waist. Leading down was his jumpsuit, which just before his knees started to become a deep burgandy.

Mach had a reputation for always being alert. Mach Karten himself was the head of a bounty hunter organization. He was known to be a hard worker and a brilliant strategist, thus making him a valuable asset. One of his collegues though had been instigating mutiny, there had only been one way to deal with that.

To maintan the survival of his group, Mach employed Aile to rub out this irritant.

Since Spider had been welcomed by both almost instataneously, he had been given a high position in the bounty hunters' 'club'. At first he had been extremely doubtful and unwilling to fill in this vacant spot, but Mach and Aile's pleadings soon won over his heart.

He had spent a year with the group. It had been a simple way of life really. Get up from bed, check computer monitor for pleas, play cards, nap, check computer again.. But then again those were the uneventful days, they usually didn't last very long at all. Most of the time he had had to chase down crimenals or spies. Ah, the spies. The trickiest of the bunch! They always knew the best places to hide and escape. He had actually learn't many evasive moves from these felons, even as far as to literally 'disappear'..

Spider had left after a close encouncer with a human type reploid, funny thing though was, it hadn't resembled a human at all! He had been taken by surprise, and nearly lost his life for that mistake! Not wishing for another close encounter and thinking that it was well overdo for him to see the rest of the world, Spider resigned from the bounty hunters.

"But why?" Aile had aked him the day he told them both of his choice.

Wearing a cocky grin, Spider pushed his hat higher,"Because I'll live longer, that's why!"

Like good friends both chuckled and said their goodbyes.

"Well, at least tell me that you'll visit some time in the future."

Turning the black replied, "Sure thing. I'll see ya around!"

That had been the last that he had seen Aile. Sadly enough the two had never crossed paths again. It seemed that fate did not want it to be.

'Oh well, life continues I guess', he thought as he pushed himself off the tree slowly. Maybe Aile had become sucessful, or maybe not. 'I should really go into checking that out.'

Looking down at the dirt, he trailed his eyes across the horizon. Noon hadn't yet come and a pleasant breeze blew southward.

"Maybe I should get some answers today.. pfft, like life hasn't been a bitch already." Taking a few steps forward he heard a paticular voice scream out in the distance.

"THE NEXT TIME YOU DO THAT I'M GOING TO BREAK THOSE TWIN GUNS OF YOURS AND SHOVE THEM DOWN YOUR THROAT!!"

Blinking in surprise the black reploid paused. 'Who on earth'. Not wating for nature to reply, Spider was off in the direction of the hysterical screaming.
