Axl ran to the entrance and covered his eyes. The light brushed against him as he smiled and walked down the sidewalks, trying to figure out where he was. Fortunately for him, some people in that area was very generous and nice. While Axl looked around helplessly of where he was, someone seemed to notice that he was lost.
"Are you lost? This is your first time here isn't it?" A girl said, she was about Axl's height, and possibly just got into her teens.
"Yeah…" He said, thinking himself as such an idiot, an S class irregular hunter, lost out in a simple town? What kind of joke was that?
"Well, if you want to go to Giga-city, then go down that block and you'll see it, and if you want to go to the irregular hunter head quarters, it's to the east, which is over on the left side." She said, and Axl nodded.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." She said as she watched Axl dash to the direction of where she said the IHHQ was.
X, Zero, Passy, Aliel, Plasma, Saber, Dual, Yumi, and Yuri dashed down the side walks, and started walking for they needed a rest. X kept on walking, but Zero was faster and got ahead of him. They were able to hear some people pointing at them and whispering excitedly, most of their talk was about how… 'Good looking and cute' Zero was.
"Do you think he's safe?" Aliel asked, and Dual palced his hand sbehidn his head.
"I don't know. But there certainly was a huge crack in front of the HQ where he should've fallen. He either was taken by someone else or went somewhere on his own for some reason." He added, and Yumi giggled.
"Would you think he'll go somewhere by himself without having anyone help him around?" She said.
"Well, all he has to do is use his DNA change and heal himself with a reploid's DNA that can heal." Yuri pointed out, and Yumi nodded.
"Say, where's Passy?" Aliel asked, and Yuri looked at her.
"She knows we can handle this, so she left for now… But I don't think she'll come back, she went somewhere else." She reploid, and Aliel continued to walk.
Axl continued dashing down the road, and saw a familiar site.
"Almost there…" Said Axl, and continued to dash faster.
"Hey, do you hear that?" Yumi said, placing her hand behind her ear.
"Hear what? You're a cat type, so you can hear well.' Yuri pointed out, and Yumi focused on listening.
"The vibrations of someone's footsteps… they're just like Axl's!" She yelled.
"Really! Then we're getting closer!" Saber said, and they started dashing again, this time, towards Axl.
Axl started walking, he was getting a bit tired (well duh, he fell off a building and crashed down and just recovered) and fell down to the ground, wanting to rest. But he heard a rustling in a bush nearby and sat up, just to get knocked down by something that flew towards him.
"Ow!" He groaned as he saw what had madly dashed towards him and knocked him down.
"Owie… sorry!" A young male reploid said as he rubbed his head, trying to ease the bruise.
"It's okay… say, why were you running? Is someone after you?" Axl asked, and the boy replied.
"I was walking down the alley like I always did, and I heard some noises and yelling. Far as I know, someone was getting hurt. And I think the person that attacked spotted me, he's been trying to get to be from then, and I'm running! He's nearby! Can you fight? Can you protect me?" The young boy asked, and Axl nodded.
"So you're hiding by the boy…" A voice said as a figure came out of the bushes, and the boy shivered.
The figure looked like he hadn't rested in days and had a maniacal smile in his face. The figure had a cloak that covered his designs and the rest of his body.
"Since both of you saw me, I'll just kill you both." He said, raising his hand, and slamming onto the ground by the palm of his hand.
It created a shockwave that rushed rapidly towards the two males, and Axl turned around quickly.
"Move!" He yelled as he pushed the boy out of the way, and jumped up into the air, and landing onto the ground safely.
"I'll hit you this time." The male said as he raised a rod, heavy and strong enough to make a hole in a wall, and was about to slam it down onto Axl when-
"Stop!" A voice called out, which was very familiar to Axl's.
"What! You're still alive, I thought I beat you to your death!" The male yelled out as the beaten male chuckled.
"It's not that easy to take my existence off even though no one knows of it!" The male yelled.
"You!" Axl yelled, it was the boy that had saved him, the same boy that had recovered him and fixed his helmet and wrist armor.
He was beaten up very badly. He had blood on his arm, his face, and his legs, everywhere. His armor parts such as his wrist pad, and shoulder pads were broken off, and his helmet was taken off, and he was holding it. His helmet was cracked, so he had no choice but to take it off, revealing black hair that was pretty long, but an average length.
"Nice to see you again Axl. This male here is controlled by Virus, he's trying to take those that see him their existences off." The male said, and Virus looked at him.
"I'll start with you by finishing you off!" He yelled, and slammed the rod down onto the male's head.
Or so he tried. The male suddenly vanished and reappeared behind Virus, and stabbed him in the abdomen from the back with his sword. He pulled it out and slashed him in the back, and blood poured out from the back. The little boy grabbed onto Axl's leg, which was almost the highest he was able to go as they both watched the male and Virus fight.
"You'll be easy to finish off!" Virus yelled, and grabbed the male by the arm and threw him down onto the ground.
"Why are you so determined to kill me than the others!" The male yelled out loudly, and Virus laughed evilly.
"It's simple, failures are garbage. And you're one of them!" He yelled, and the male froze, shocked to hear such thing.
"That's not true!" Axl yelled and the little boy yelled loudly,
"Yeah, that's not true!" The male then moved to the side, avoiding Virus' attack, and Virus laughed again.
"It's true, why else do you think I was made!" he yelled, and the two male reploid were shocked, but the little boy was confused.
"Go back, you don't need to be here, you're safe." Axl said to the little boy, and he nodded as he ran off into the open side of the town, where he was safe and to blend in.
"Let's do this Virus!" Axl and the male shouted as they both got in a battle stance to fight Virus.
This was another battle between Virus and Axl, along with a friend or foe.
