Chapter 12
Axl woke up with an intense headache, and noticed he was in a room of some sort. He looked around, only to get someone right in front of him, pushing him back down onto the ground.
"Stay down… or die…" The figure said, it seemed to Axl that it was a male.
"What," Before Axl can finish, the male interrupted him.
"Do you want to die or what? Stay quiet!" He hissed, and there was a clanking noise from nearby.
"Shoot, stay down and stay here." The male said as he ran off to where the noise came from, and Axl was at unease.
He sat up, and stayed there until foot steps were heard, and he knew that the footsteps belonged to the male he had seen when he woke up. But then, he remembered something.
"Wasn't the virus inside of me?" He asked himself quietly, and a voice replied back.
"He was. I just got rid of him from you with a vaccine." The same male's voice said, and Axl turned around to see the figure holding something.
"What's that?" He asked, and the male looked at what he was pointing to.
"That's the reploid that followed me here, possibly trying to get to you." He said, and Axl was now confused all the way.
"I see you're confused eh? Don't worry too much." He said, and the teen looked at himself.
Axl had bandages here and there all over. He knew that it got there when he fell to the ground, but he should've been dead when he fell all the way to the solid ground. Was it that the male somehow changed it around?
"You did fall and hit the ground, but you weren't really in a bad position when you landed." He said and turned around and faced Axl, holding a tray with a few things on it.
"If you want to recover and don't want permanent scars, then you better hold still." He said, and the other boy on the ground held still, allowing the male to heal what he was able to, then the boy pointed to a table without looking.
"Your wrist armor and helmet's over there, it was broken, so I fixed it." He said, and Axl nodded.
"Say, that's your name?" Axl asked, and the male froze at this, and chuckled to himself.
"Heheh, I really don't have a name." He said, and Axl was quite surprised, this reminded him of the three brothers.
"You know, three brothers didn't know their names until later, so you're kind of like them when they didn't have names." Axl said, and he chuckled more at this.
"Actually, I pretty much jump started, and some of my systems were damaged due to that, I'm different from others, I don't fit in." He said, and Axl looked at the figure.
His design was plain, only lines and no shapes or object of design, just bare. His whole color was of black. This made him most likely a type for moving around at night and being stealth. But his lines were white, going across, the other way than Axl's, which went down and vertically.
"Did you name yourself anything?" Axl asked, and the boy sighed.
"I don't really care, besides, who would call my name? You're the only one that knows I even exist." He said, and Axl was in another surprise.
"You mean, I'm the first person to ever know you ever since your activation?" The male nodded at this, and then he spoke.
"Seems like you're still confused with other things, let me tell you. Virus, well, I pretty much made a full vaccine for it, but he's still out there, somewhere… He's not dieing easily, but he's easier to wipe off than Sigma I'm sure." He said, and Axl nodded again.
"Tell me, would you describe me as your… friend?" He asked, and Axl looked at him.
"Of course, you saved my life!" He said, and the boy got up when he was finished, and grabbed Axl's wrist band and helmet, and gave it to him.
"Anyone could've done that. And your friends are looking for you." He said, and a picture of everyone running, dashing, riding, and flying was shown as the boy turned on the computer like object, and Axl finished putting on the rest of his armor.
"So… are we going to say bye now, or are you going to come with me?" Axl asked, and the boy laughed at the thought.
"I guess I'll stay here, see you later Axl!" He yelled as he ran and jumped off a broken window in the open building Axl was in.
Axl smiled, and got up. He watched down the window as the male ran in the shadows of the wall and streets, he almost seemed invisible. He made a new friend, a good friend.
"Will I see him again? He's a nice guy; I better join up with my friends now." Axl talked to himself and ran around the area, trying to find his way out, and finally found an exit.
