Author's Note: For some reason I feel like writing a serious fanfic…Maybe it's because of XS1's tracks are so sad like…aww…BTW this story sorta connects to "His Secret Cross" so if you read it, it will explain some parts of the chaos and KOSy scenes…Um, sort of.

Tiger 5913 – Lol, here you find out what happens to MOMO. Um, a little bit. Yeaaah that Shion and Allen thing…Something WILL happen between them. But will happen in a funny way. XD BTW, for your review on His Secret Cross, I was thinking of a sequel/prequel-ish story to that (not one-shot)…Maybe after this one then.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Xenoseries. Namco and Monolith Soft do. I do own a copy of the XS games though. D


Another Side, Another Story

Chapter Four: Pain Really Sucks

chaos and KOS-MOS dragged their aching feet through the muddy path. There must be water nearby if the ground is wet. So far, they were the ones who had traveled farthest from the Elsa and got the toughest route of all. The trees alongside the muddy path were so tall and thick it almost completely blocked light from the sun, however it wasn't so dark that the two could not see each other. Besides, KOS-MOS' constantly glowing blue hair served as sort of a flashlight for chaos. chaos made a quick glance at the female android beside him. She was beautiful no one would deny that, but if chaos was to say he fell in love with the person inside of her he knew many would think of him as a crazy, crazy infatuated boy. She was just an android…And something much more. But alas, the truth will be revealed some other day, right now they were to look for food, water or whatever.

"KOS-MOS, can you locate where the nearest body of water is?" chaos spoke, breaking the silence that had engulfed them since they split up with everyone else.

"My sensors indicate that the nearest water form is about three miles away from our current location." KOS-MOS replied. "It will most likely take us about two hours, twenty-six minutes, and thirteen seconds at maximum speed without any obstacles along the way."

"Hm, that will take way too long…How much time do we have left, KOS-MOS?"

"We have about one hour, three minutes, and nine seconds until returning back to the Elsa." chaos sighed and scratched the back of his head. They still had a lot of time to look for food instead, but so far chaos and KOS-MOS had not found anything edible except for plants. But the plants contained many bacterias in it that eating it isn't safe without proper equipment to cleanse the bad stuff in it.

"What about life forms? Or any food other than plants?" chaos immediately asked afterwards.

"I do not know. Some of my sensors are starting to malfunction. I would require repairs immediately, but due to the lockdown of the Elsa, there is no proper equipment to completely restore me to my proper function. Any repairs with the current equipment are insufficient."

"Oh…The area's electric flow disruption field is starting to affect you, hmm? I wonder if we could have opened up a part of the ship with your destructive capabilites?" chaos whispered to himself.

KOS-MOS heard this and said, "It is no use, the area's electricity disruption field has also affected my battle system capabilities. Attacking part of the ship would only result of more malfunctions in my system as well."

"This is definitely not good…" chaos frowned. "How much longer can you last, KOS-MOS?"

"About thirty-three more hours until complete shutdown if things proceed as the way they are. More obstacles would further lessen the time I have for shutdown."

"I guess we'd better be careful then, eh?" chaos joked. He was more worried about what Shion might do to him if KOS-MOS returned damaged badly…

"Hi, guys!" chaos exclaimed. Everyone was back at the meeting point, talking to each other silently. No one had found food or water, so all their efforts were in vain. As chaos approached the group, Shion came up to him and asked, "Hi chaos, did you and KOS-MOS have a 'good time' and show her around? Heehee…"

"Er, I wouldn't really call it a good time…eheh…" chaos spoke nervously as he scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, you didn't find anything either, huh?" Shion peered behind chaos looking for KOS-MOS. "By the way, where IS KOS-MOS?"

"Long story y-you see, KOS-MOS…systems…malfunction…uh, rock tripped…destroyed?" chaos' eye twitched. Shion was now giving him death glares. Everyone noticed this and watched the two. Ooh, things were going to get ugly…

"DESTROYED! YOU DESTROYED KOS-MOS!" Shion fumed as she got closer to the yellow-blue clad boy.

"Uh well, sor-t-t of…N-not quite, m-more like…ro-rock…dis-dismembere-d parts of…b-bod-y-y…Bu-but she's still…s-sort-a…fun-cti…o-on…al…"

"YOU DISMEMBERED HER? YOU'RE GONNA GET IT CHAOS!" She has never been mad at chaos, nor did anybody. But when it comes to KOS-MOS in danger, she goes off into "over-protective-mother", or "insane-creepy-murderous" mode as Allen called it. He had seen her "insane-creepy-murderous" mode one time and she really was insane, creepy, and murderous. chaos backed away slowly and kept his eyes focused on the brunette, making sure she wasn't going to pull off anything that would endanger her, the others, and especially himself. When he saw his chance, he ran off to the woods with a very mad Shion chasing him with her M.W.S. Everyone else followed, curious as what would happen to chaos…And yes, the did like violence…secretly anyway so they didn't stop Shion.

"PLEASE, SHION! IF YOU STILL HAVE SOME DECENCY IN YOU, I BEG OF YOU TO STOP THIS! AHH! AND IT WAS THE RO-ROCK THAT DISMEMBERED HER!"

"DECENCY! I'LL SHOW YOU SOME DECENCY! AND A ROCK CANNOT DISMEMBER A PERSON! YOU ARE SO GOING TO PAY CHAOS!" Shion yelled and then taking aim fired her M.W.S. at the poor silver-haired boy.

Everyone said "Eww," at the somewhat gruesome sight that beheld them…chaos was lying on the ground, his top clothing got partially burnt so part of his chest was visible to everyone. On his face was a blood dripping from the scar the blast had inflicted on him, much like Squall and Seifer's from FF8, and then his hair was totally burnt off…

Snapping out of his weird imagination, chaos thought: 'The sad thing is…What if she really DOES have an "insane-creepy-murderous" mode? I don't want a scar; it wouldn't go with my looks…and my hair!' He took a quick glance at KOS-MOS. "Uh, let's just go and look for food, alright? I'll show you some interesting stuff along the way…That is if we find any, heh."

"Affirmative." So KOS-MOS and chaos continued to walk on the muddy path. Just then, a creepy feminine-Albedo-like laughter filled the woods. The two immediately took combat positions and looked around for any signs of danger.

"KOS-MOS!" chaos whispered. "Can you detect what that was?"

"Scanning…It appears to be the voice of a realian. However, that is all I can say because of my performance capabilities at this time."

"Realian? Could it be…" chaos' was now squinting and looking desperately for any signs of a pink-haired-realian named MOMO. And then from out of the blue or in this case green, Jr. jumped and on his back was…

"MOMO! What are doing on Jr.'s…" chaos screamed. Something was OH-SO-OBVIOUSLY not right with MOMO; she was riding on Jr.'s back laughing like a maniac (think Albedo).

"chaaoos! KOS-MOS! HELP ME! SHE'S GONE TOTALLY INSANE! AND-AND SHE WHIPPED ME!" Jr. shouted while trying to shoo MOMO off his back as she whipped him like a horse...Poor Jr., MOMO thinks he's a horse and she's a…cowgirl.


While they figure how to get MOMO off Jr.'s back, let's go to the Elsa crew.

Hammer was sitting on the ground with his back on a huge tree. He wasn't used to long walks, but apparently so was Tony, who was literally on the ground, scraping his hands on the dirt as if he was a madman. Surprisingly, Captain Matthews was the complete opposite of the two. He was full of energy and bossier than ever before.

"Dammit! Get up you lazy morons!" Matthews said his temper rising. "Hmph, what good for nothings. Listen, do you WANT to get off this island alive!"

"Yeess…" Hammer and Tony replied.

"THEN MOVE YOUR LAZY ASSES BEFORE I KILL YOU TWO!" the Captain roared. The two stared at him lazily. Actually, now that they thought about it, death would be better than walking with their sore feet. Hm, they needed more exercise. Captain Matthew was getting really angry now, and so he pulled Hammer by his jacket and Tony by his shirt then laid them on the ground as he prepared for his super-body-slam attack…Yes, he watches wrestling by the way. And just as he was about to hit the two, they crawled away with Matthews slamming himself to the ground. Ouch.

Hammer and Tony just conversed as they ignored the Captain in pain. Hey, it was revenge for hitting and insulting them over the many years they worked together, so, um, yeah.

"Sooo…you like pie, Hammer?" Tony asked lazily.

Hammer raised an eyebrow, "You mean as in math or the food?"

"The food, duh! You're such a nerd Hammer. Pssh." Tony scoffed. Hammer got pissed and grabbed Tony by the collar.

"I AM NOT A NERD!" Hammer yelled.

"Yuh-huh."

"Nu-uh!"

"Yuh-huh!"

"Nu-uh!"

"Nu-uh!"

"Yu-huh!"

"See!" Tony screamed, "YOU ADMIT IT! YOU'RE A NERD!"

"NO I DID NOT-OH! CRAP! You freaking…" Hammer mumbled angrily as he let go of the pretty boy's collar.

"Oww…My…my…stomach…urgh…" Captain Matthews rambled.


Hmm, the chaos and KOS-MOS scene was long…But I can't help it! I love the two together…Heheh. That scene seemed serious for a while though…Shion and MOMO seem ooc, but that's how all murderous/insane/crazy women are…Um, sometimes. Heehee. The next scene will have more Shion and Allen, Jin and Ziggy (don't worry, no yaoi there), and the "Professor"….cugohwhhoisrlaelythedrakporfesosrcuogh. Mmm...piieeeee...
