Note from CW. Ok I am beginning to feel very lonely, nobody has reviewed my fanfiction in a long time and I'm starting to think that no one likes my story. If anyone is reading this please review so I know that I'm not writing to nobody. Once again I would like to thank those of you who have reviewed and I hope that you will review again soon.

Now, on with the story

Chapter 9

Rescuing the Bonnes

Trigger, Roll, Data, Barrel and Tron sat in the living room as they waited to reach the shrine that Gatz had mentioned. "How much longer until we reach the shrine Gatz" asked Trigger impatiently. Gatz's voice came over the intercom "we will arrive in 10 minutes".

"Good" said Trigger turning to Roll "Roll" he called, "do you think you can equip me with my drill arm?" Roll nodded and went to her workshop to fetch the drill arm. Trigger went to the cockpit to talk to Yuna and Sera. "so" he started "what were you guys doing while you were gone?" Yuna turned to him, "we were investigating some Elysian matters" she replied.

"What do you mean Elysian matters?" asked Trigger attempting an interrogation. "It seems that the elder system has reactivated itself" began Yuna "we were attempting to shut it down but it appears that we have lost all control over it". Trigger gasped "what will become of terra if the elder system reaches full activation?" asked Trigger worriedly

"I don't know, I just don't know" replied Yuna.

"Pardon me mistress Yuna" Gatz interrupted "we have arrived at the shrine". Yuna and Trigger looked at each other and nodded "take us down Gatz" commanded Yuna "yes ma'am" replied Gatz. The flutter descended from the clouds and landed on a deserted island.

After a few preparations, everyone except Roll, Tron, Matilda and Barrel, departed from the flutter and made their way to the shrine. Even X decided to join them this time, and Data as well. With everyone they needed in hand, the group set off on their next adventure.

A few minutes later on the flutter

"well, well, well, look what we have here" said a voice out of nowhere "my dear Zero, all tired from you're little battle with Trigger, well let me help you". The cloaked figure from the lab appeared in the med bay and placed his hand on Zero's head. "There, all better, you wont have to worry about that nasty virus anymore, I'll let you run around for a bit before I destroy you, have fun, while it lasts". The figure teleported away leaving only his maniacal laugh behind. Zero opened his eye's a few moments later.

Meanwhile

Trigger and the group approached the large shrine. "The door is locked" said Trigger yanking on the door handle as if he were trying to rip it off it's hinges. "do not worry master Trigger" said Gatz approaching the door "I believe I can open it". With a few adjustments to the door, Gatz opened it and the travelers ventured inside.

Upon entering the group was attacked by strange robots the likes of which Trigger had never seen. "what are those things?" asked Trigger in absolute fear "mavericks" replied X

"what are they doing here, they didn't even exist in this time period, something is definitely wrong here".

The team fought off the mavericks, then prepared to search the shrine.

"listen up everyone" started X who was now acting as the leader of the group "we are now officially dealing with mavericks, they are ruthless killing machines that don't understand common sense, they only know how to follow orders". The others looked at each other in confusion.

"who exactly is giving them their orders?" asked Sera "I don't know for sure" began X "but if I had to guess, I would say…. Sigma". The others looked at each once again "who is… Sigma?" asked Trigger. "sigma is a virus from the future" began X "I'm not sure when he came into creation, but it does not matter, he is ruthless and blood thirsty, he wants nothing more then to destroy all humans and to create a world for his mavericks, he is also the one who created the virus that can turn harmless robots into mavericks".

The others all looked at each other, this time, in horror. "I have destroyed him before" continued X "but Sigma has the ability to transfer his subconscious between bodies that he has built for himself". Trigger walked toward X "then we'll just have to make sure that he wont come back, we'll find a way to stop him after we rescue the Bonnes". X smiled "thanks Trigger".

As everyone prepared to spread out through the ruins, a voice echoed through the main room. "Let me save you the trouble of finding me" the voice called. X new who it was instantly "Sigma" he said sourly "show yourself you coward". Sigma laughed loudly

"as you wish X" he said as he materialized in front of him.

"what are you up to this time you beast?" asked X angrily "just the usual my old friend, cooking up trouble and destroying the world, by the way, do these belong to you?" asked Sigma sarcastically as he threw Teasel and Bomb in front of the group. "yes they do" replied X "and you're going to pay for laying you're grubby little hands on them".

X charged at Sigma full force, thus beginning a titanic battle between good and evil.
