Chapter 7

"I'm Dual." She said, looking at the hunters then at the ground again.

The hunters looked at each other and a voice was heard through X's helmet.

"Are you all there? The energy is not quite by you right now, but it's a bit close." Alia said and Zero looked further out and Axl looked straight into Dual's eyes, even deeper.

Axl noticed something; the eyes were familiar to him. The emerald eyes were just of as another person he knew before. He looked at the girl, who was staring back at him with a 'What' kind of face. The teen just looked away, and Zero's Z saber lit on.

"What are you doing, Zero?" X asked as Zero aimed his saber at Dual.

"Show yourself, you're not who you appear as." Zero said and Dual managed to laugh weakly.

"That you're right on, but I'm your ally, not enemy." She said, and Zero lowered his saber, but still ready to strike.

"You're too cautious now, Zero." Dual added and Zero's grip on his saber tightened,

"Show your true self." He said and Dual shrugged and nodded.

"Just try not to freak out." Dual joked and she was about to talk when Alia talked through the COM again.

"The energy is just staying there. But it's right in front of you." She said and the three hunters looked at Dual.

"You mean she's…" X said, pointing at Dual and Axl spoke.

"No, something's behind her." He said and something glittered behind Dual.

"You're right, Axl." Dual said and a small human-like life form flew to the side from behind Dual.

"Is that…?" Zero said and Dual cut him off.

"An cyber elf." She said and the saber user turned his saber off and placed it on his back.

The cyber elf flew around Dual with joy.

"Hi everyone, I'm Passy." The cyber elf said and giggled a bit.

"Hi Passy…" Axl said and Zero nodded while X looked at the cyber elf.

Passy's design was mostly magenta, and her hair was burgundy, which was tied with a yellow hair tie. Her top part was connected with the bottom design, like almost every cyber elf. It was mostly magenta on the top and bottom, and there was a light color strip going across her stomach in the middle. She had a bright pink cheek and her eyes were blue as the ocean.

"So, what type of cyber elf are you, Passy?' Axl asked and Passy flew over to Axl and flew around him.

"I'm a nurse elf. Dual can explain everything." She said and giggled again.

"X, Zero, Axl, the new source of energy is now with you, so we'll transport you to HQ, want me to transfer Dual too?" Alia asked and X spoke through the COM.

"Yeah, Alia. Dual, do you want to come along?" X asked and Dual nodded as they were transferred back to the irregular hunter head quarters.

Dual was given the guest room where the three brothers had slept before, on the ground. Her hands were on the sheets of the bed One and Two slept before. She felt a tear streaking down her cheek and wiped it. Then she heard someone else stepping in the room and turned around to see Yuri standing at the door.

"X assigned me as your guide for the HQ, I'm Yuri, you are Dual, correct?" Yuri asked and Dual nodded.

Dual walked to Yuri and stared into her eyes, she tilted her head slightly, and curious of why Dual was looking into her eyes. Then Dual placed her hand on Yuri's shoulder and shook her head.

"I already know my way around, it's all right, and I do not need a guide." She said and Yuri looked at the hand on her shoulder and nodded.

"Okay, I'll tell commander X that. I'll see you later, Dual!" She said, waving her hand as she ran down the hall to where X was.

"Yuri…" Dual said and smiled, then walked down the hallway, the opposite direction of where Yuri went, and bumped into someone familiar.

"Sorry! Hey, you must be Dual, right? I'm Yumi! Yuri's younger sister." Yumi said, stretching her hand out for a handshake, which Dual accepted.

"I'm busy right now, so I have to go. Sorry, but bye!" Yumi said, dashing rapidly down the hallway.

After a while, Dual saw Axl running towards him, and stopped in front of him, gasping for breath.

"We're having a meeting, and X told me to get you for it. Come on!" Axl said, grabbing onto Dual's wrist and running down the hall, the girl following him with all she has.

They both came to the room just in time the door was about to close. Dual looked around the room; it wasn't exactly a meeting, but a discussion of the new source of energy, the cyber elf Passy.

Passy was also in the room, flying around, enjoying herself, and then seated herself on the table.

"Dual, come sit here!" She yelled to her, pointing at an empty seat next to her.

She sat next to Passy and looked at X, Zero, Axl, Yuri and Yumi the only ones in the discussion.

"So, tell us more about yourself, Passy." Yuri asked and Passy looked towards Dual.

"Dual can explain all about me. He's a good describer." She said, giggling, and the hunters looked straight at Dual.

Did she just call Dual, him…? The three hunters thought as Dual smiled and stood up.
