The Resurrection of Bass-Chapter 4

"Ouch…. what happened?" X said as he stared at a bright light.

"He's coming to, that's a good sign," said a voice.

"Ugg, am I dead?"

"No, your ok, your back at hunter base." X identified the person to be a surgeon. He was safe. For now. X sat up with a start.

"Where's Zero and Axl!"

"It's ok, there fine," said another surgeon reassuringly. X looked to his left and saw Zero asleep on a bed next to him.

"Zero is in one piece, but where is Axl?" X thought to himself. Well Axl did make out ok, and if it wasn't for Axl, its possible that none of them would've survived. But Signas and Alia were questioning Axl. Axl sat down in a chair and Signas sat across the table from him. Alia sat behind glass, keyboard at her fingertips.

"Alright Axl, what happened?" Signas asked. Axl took a second to gather and arrange his thoughts. When he was done, he spoke.

"Well, when we got to the mine no one was there. We went inside the cave and found a giant steel door that was open," Axl said. He then paused to think more. Signas drummed his fingers patiently on the table. Alia was typing everything Axl had said. "Then when we went through, we found the ruins of something, then we saw someone. None of us got a good look at him, but he took us all down. I had enough energy to teleport us out of there, but he said his name was Bass, and he wanted revenge."

"Bass….Bass… doesn't sound familiar," Signas said as he pondered carefully. "Alia, run a search in the prison records for someone named Bass."

"Yes sir!" Alia said. She began typing very fast. She had accessed the prison mainframe and searched for Bass. Nothing came up. "Sir, nothing appeared in the prison archives."

"Hmm..look for what you can," Signas said. He turned to Axl, "Are you sure that's all that happened?"

"Yes commander, I'm sure," he said.

"Alright, you can leave Axl." And with that Axl got up went to his room. He thought that he might be able to sleep this off. But little did he know, the trouble was only beginning.
