Chapter 1: The End? Well, heck, whoever said they'd pull it off?
"So, what do we do now?" Asked DD, his rusted onyx gray armor creaking a little as he moved around to face his comrades. Doing so, the ledge whined in complaint and made its intention to simply fold know.
"Stop doing that!" Arial barked back, her normally angelic blue eyes thinning into hate filled pebbles of color. "He seems to have it handled, and we can ask for nothing less – we had better just go."
Lowering his head a little, DD would have whined -- but considers Arial's reprimanding glare he considered it to be just a little bit too much for him to handle. Relaxing his shoulder based Dust Buster, he looked to Shroom to lower his sword, which he complied with grudgingly.
"How did we end up here…?" The Mushroom Reploid asked, his sword being replaced slowly within his back based scabbard. "How did this mission turn into something so… Drastic?" Looking back, he emitted a drawn out sigh. "So much sacrifice, for so little gain."
DD crossed his arms, and stares at Shroom. "We gained something, certainly… I just haven't figured out what it is yet." Finishing, a bright red spot drifted onto his forehead. Crossing his eyes, the Reploid tried to figure out exactly why is has appeared.
Arial, however, doesn't need to think so carefully. Grabbing both Shroom and DD's hands she dashed out from the ledge. Only moments after, a drone dropped to their level with an energy rifle in his hand.
Below, Dr. Doppler and X still continued to battle.
Authors Comments: Well wah! I'm starting backwards -- how uncanny. Anyway, I am just checking to see if there will be interest for something like this. If so, I'll write more. Got a lot of stuff planned, too. :D
