Chapter 4

"Good morning, Yuri!" A voice shouted through the room, surprising Yuri as she got out of her covers and noticed that Yumi had shouted.

"Yumi, you should be quiet, other people might be sleeping you know." Yuri warned, hoping that reploids won't come to their room telling them that they are too loud or annoying.

"Sorry, but we got a message from Layer and Pallette about another mission." Yumi added as she looked towards Yuri, who was putting on her top armor and shoulder plates and turned her face to her sister.

"What kind of mission?" asked Yuri, curious what kind of job she had to do today.

"It's about searching for any irregulars in the old ruins near Giga-city, Massimo is also going with us for searching in case there is a real powerful irregular that the two of us can't handle." Yumi added again as she brushed her hair with her hand and smiled.

"Do you know about the others?" Yuri asked, curious what kind of job others got for the day.

"Let's see; X and Zero are going off on a mission to find this huge energy reading source, Axl will be their back-up as soon as he returns from his mission which is to spy on the irregulars so called new base, Massimo is going with us, Cinnamon is going with Axl in case he needs curing or if they find anyone injured than she could heal them, Nana will operate with Alia, Layer and Pallette, and I guess that's pretty much all of it. Alia will be the operator for X, Zero and Layer will be our operator and Pallette will be Axl and Cinnamon's operator in case you wanted to know." Yumi said as she stopped to catch a breath after all the talking.

"Thanks, that's more than enough information I need." Yuri said as she finished wearing her armor and headed to the operating room with Yumi behind her.

"Don't be nervous, if anything ever happens, I'll protect you." Axl said as he noticed that Cinnamon was nervous about going to a mission to a so-called new irregular base all by themselves.

"Thank you, Axl. But don't you think this is too much? Just the two of us?" Cinnamon asked, wishing that others could also come with them.

"We can't take too much reploids, if we do, it will be easier to get caught." Axl said as he shook his head and sighed, hoping if there was anyway of cheering Cinnamon up, he wanted to know.

"Okay, I'll try to calm down. Thank you for trying to make me feel more comfortable, Axl." Cinnamon said as she smiled at Axl and the teenage boy smiled back.

"So our mission is to find the huge energy reading source that is near this area, huh?" X said as Zero nodded and swung his blade around.

"Yeah, and we'll get Axl as a back-up as soon as he finishes his mission." Zero added to his answer.

"I'm late, I'm late, and I'm late again!" One shouted to himself as he starting running rapidly again, trying to get there in time as tripped on a rock on the ground and got up to start running again.

"Why are you always so late…?" Two asked as he looked at One, who rubbed the back of his head with his hand, slightly blushing.

"I don't get a good rest all the time, so I get really sleepy…" He said as he looked at Two when he started walking down the alley once again.

"This is becoming a daily procedure." Two murmured as he walked, his arms crossed and resting in front of his chest.

While the brothers were late in their daily work, the irregular hunters were getting ready for their missions. Axl had spent most of his time trying to calm down Cinnamon, and Massimo was lost in the HQ, looking for the twin sisters and found his way to their room, wasting all of his time, and X and Zero were already in the operating room to be transferred to the area of the big source energy.

"You ready?" Alia asked them and X nodded as Alia blushed.

"Transfer commencing." Alia finished as X and Zero were transferred.

A few minutes later, Axl came into the operation room with Cinnamon next to him as she tried to catch up with his speed. Cinnamon nodded nervously and Axl gave them thumbs up and were trans served to the so-called new irregular base.

"Transfer commencing." Pallette said as she looked at Cinnamon, then at Axl and smiled.

When she had first met him, Pallette felt a little feeling inside her that she liked him more than just in a friendly way. Pallette always hid that feeling but knew she liked him and now almost resulting as loving him. She was worried that Axl was going to get hurt and prayed that he wouldn't.

Right after they were transferred, Yuri and Yumi walked to the room and Massimo rushed over to them, murmuring that they were walking a little too fast. Yumi rolled her eyes and Yuri spoke up.

"We're ready." Layer nodded and trans served all three reploids.

"Transfer start."

"Where can this new source be? Alia, do you have any leads?" X asked as a hologram appeared with Alia's picture on it.

"All I have is the information where it's nearby, and my lead is to go north." Alia responded as the hologram vanished and X continued walking north.

"This will take a while." Zero said as a group of irregulars walked by, noticing X and Zero while they were miles away from the source.

"Come on, Cinnamon, hurry!" Axl whispered loudly as he DNA changed to one of the irregulars that he had knocked down, motioning Cinnamon to run across the hall where he was.

Cinnamon stood and nodded as she took a step slowly, then all of a sudden like a lihgitng bolt, ran rapidly towards Axl.

"You really are nervous aren't you?" Axl asked as he smiled at her, telling her that everything will be fine as long as she was with him.

"Come on Massimo, you're too slow!" Yumi complained as she yelled over to Massimo, who was a hundred steps away form them.

"You two are too fast!" Massimo yelled out loud and Yuri turned to the two, frowning.

"We're supposed to look for any irregulars, not to quarrel forever like you two for thirty minutes." Yuri added, timing how long they had been arguing, which was for thirty minutes.

"Fine." Yumi said as she turned with her head high up in the air and suddenly looked to her side.

"I spy with my keen eyes, something called an irregular." Yumi said as she giggled and shot the irregular at that area and more irregulars started coming out.

"Nice going, Yumi, now you attracted them!" Massimo yelled as he stood his ground, preparing to stab his enemies if they got close.

"Now let's not argue again, shall we?" Yuri begged as she formed her two hands into double busters and got into position.

"They're coming." The female said as she smirked and turned to the reploid.

"Your time has come, this is now the time to reveal yourself if you wish." She added as she looked at the reploid and smiled when the reploid nodded.

"Has been a long time…" He said and stood up from the chair and walked out of the room.

"If we're late and the girl behind the counter yells again, it's not my fault." Two said as One sighed.

"I know." He replied and walked faster to catch up to Two.

"Just keep that in mind, One, don't get late again, or it's going to be a bad reputation for us both." Two added as he slowed down for One.

"Okay." One replied as he started running with Two to the building where they worked.
