o0 MORE?! YOU PPLZ WANT MORE?!

XP OK!!

..Hey did you know that 'Sigma' is a greek letter? I didn't until I looked up a few names for extra people that I was going to put in...

Guh.. now that I've written 'Sigma' I feel dirty....... BLAST IT!!!!!!

Anyways the past chapters haven't been meaty enough. I AGREE. I will try vainly to change that XD! No, I do realize that they are getting too short. I didn't want it that way, and I will change it. But you'll have to wait a little longer for each chapter. (they were short cause I had summative exams all last week)

Hey you guys don't mind oc's do you? I mean they have to fight against SOMEBODY :) . (laughs) Only I can think of a name like Justifz.. kyeheheh! (slaps forhead) XP

The base of Giga City stood proud and (better not put something that I could have) well, straight? X had explained to the black reploid a little bit of what had taken place over the last few months, and now, how this was their new home since the other had been wrecked by Redips.

The black had obviously been curious about this whole event. 'Redips, wonder what he looks like..' Gazing at the huge structure above him, he came back to reality when X tapped him on the shoulder.

"Kay, we can go in. The doors are unlocked." X somewhat raised an eyebrow at the other's blank expression.

"O-oh. Right." Straightening his hat, Spider followed closely behind X. Axl followed suit, but only after checking to see if they were beeing followed by some 'imaginairy rogue reploid'. As he turned to go in, the metallic door slammed right in his face.

"Ah, that's just great.." Rubbing his nose he sat down on the ground in a pouting position. Hurriedly he tried to apply logic to his situation. Passing his left hand through his orange hair, he came up with a solution.

"They'll notice I'm gone. Then they'll let me in!"

Little did the teenager know..

The complex itself had not changed much. Most of the circuitry had been left intact, save for a few upgrades. One of these upgrades had been a holoprojecting computer for easy access to certain data bases.

Nana had been checking over a mistake in the central computer's backup files, when she had heard some one enter the room. She turned around quickly, excited to greet Giga City's great hero.

"X! Did you find anythi-" He sentence stopped deadpan as her eyes stayed glued on the figure behind X. Her voice took a defensive tone as she rolled the chair back preparing for the worst.

"Behind you!"

Releasing the catch behind the top part of his neck, Megaman X slid his helmet off, revealing straight messy black hair. "Yes, I know." Looking over his shoulder he gave the shady reploid an expression of annoyance. "Are you going to tell her, or should I?"

Silence filled the room for a moment.

"Tell her what?"

With an audible groan X slapped his forhead. It was going to be a long day.

A few hours had been sefficiant to explain to Nana that Spider was in fact, the 'real' Spider and not Redips in disguise. This had also led to Spider finding out, well O-o that Redips had taken his form.

It was only natural for the black reploid's face to twist in digust. So the green general's name had been Redips.

"He was trouble since the start." Both reploids stared at him confused. Arms crossed, he responded sourly.

"He murdered my unit, he murdered the younger one's unit, he murdered his unit, he murdered my friends, he supposedly murdered the younger one, and he tried to murder me. Stupid son of a fucking bitch."

Silently Nana placed her closed fist to her chest, her eyes were closed in languish. X too had become quiet. Slowly his gazed travelled upwards to the shady reploid's hat-covered eyes, which he knew were already letting tears flood away.

"I am so sorry.. Spider." Not really knowing what to do next, X flicked his fingers. A thought soon struck him though. "We have to see who that reploid was. Even if he's not part of any orginization what he did was a criminal offence."

"..Right. You'll have to give me a second to find a trail from the particles." Reluctantly Nana raised herself from the chair. She tippy-toed away, back to the main central computer.

X glanced back over his shoulder to the balck figure, who was still sitting in his respective chair as if nothing had happened. X's face burned. Gritting his teeth he too reluctantly forced his feet to go forward. 'This is why I can't let a maverick live. All they cause is destruction and tear lives apart. Fuck..' Glancing back again, X stared hard at the black hat covering Spider's eyes. He heard something. It was small, but his auditory systems had caught it. A sob. Tears building up in his eyes, X ripped himself from his present and trudged to the central control room.

"Sooo. His name is Justifz?" X stated as he read the holographic report that Nana had set up. She had gotten an energy reading from the particles left over from a teleportation beam coming from the area that X and Axl had been in. The reploid's profile and data played on the life sized hologram. As X judged the data, Nana spoke.

"Yes. Appearently he's a rogue reploid (o0)" A short click of a button made extra information pop up on the holographic screen.

"He was part of the marines for a while until he got discharged for bad conduct, he later then joined a specialized bounty hunter syndicate by the name of 'Twilight Syndicate'. Appearently he became bored of this and left. Since then no data has been collected of him."

Tapping the side of his chin in thought X stared at the screen. "But that makes no sense as to why he would just randomly attack us like that. Just out of the blue. He must have been given orders by some one."

"That's what I was thinking. Maybe if we contact this 'Twilight Syndicate' we can get more information on Jutifz." Nana stated.

Now scratching the side of his chin, X eyes drifted to the words 'discharged'. "That's if we can find them. Several units have already been sent out to find the Twilights, but not one was successful. This syndicate knows we're after them, and they know how to hide from the authorities."

"Appearently," X's eyes shifted to her form,"The syndicate has been located some where north of New Balsera."

"New Balsera?"

"Yes, it's to the west of the Giga City region. It's been off limits for a few years, since a lot of contruction has been going on to clean it from the Urasia incident. They've been seen just above Namico and travelled to and throw from Omega and Nexus."

"They've been around." X commented as a map of the New Balsera Region slowly formed as each green pixel flashed blue.

"You wouldn't believe. I even have information that they've been through the bottom south part of the region as far as 7 isle." Tracing her finger to the bottom of the map she pointed out a small cluster of seven islands.

"Hmm. Practically half of the planet."

"Yes, and the islands of New Balsera are natural islands, which in turn make travel harder."

"So in other words we're dealing with a hardened bunch of criminals, who are afraid of a little water, or a walk."

"Exactly. But remember, they might not be the enemy yet. .. Um X?"

"Yeah?"

Laughing Nana displayed a live feed from the outside door cameras. "Did you per chance forget something?" On the screen a reploid was trying furiously to blast down the solid front gates with 'pea' sized twin guns, cussing regularly.

In shock X looked from the door in the picture to the figure. Finally the information clicked. "Axl?!" His eyes went wide a few moments later.

"He knows that swear word?!"

-

IS THAT MEATY ENOUGH FOR YOU????????!!! HAH!!!!!! I WROTE YAYS! XD And Axl swears. New Balsera... (shudders) had to draw the whole freaking damn map. It's even bigger than the Giga City Region. Holy crap! (guessy guessy where Veorse Laga is) Anyways, ya the Twilight syndicate (ok so I took from red alert) seem to like to walk ... A LOT! o0

That and there's nothing better than the song edge from .hackliminality. Or the other one which I forgot...

If there's mistakes, well it's because I didn't bother to spell check. I just wanted to post it quickly. (hey man, I wrote this in one night, happy?)
