Douglas crept around the interior of the Hunter's weapon station. It was a lonely place, only accompanied by the steady drip-dripping of a loose pipe somewhere in the vast interior of the hanger. The pudgy, glasses-adorned robot slowly moved between boxes, all the while making an attempt to salvage the bundle he had with him. His shadow slunk here and there, avoiding the eye of many security cameras.
And then he saw what he was looking for. The object of his affection. He held out the dozen repli-roses he had picked for his true love. They dropped to the floor, for his love had no hands for which to grasp them. He stared into her hull, for she had no eyes to look into or back with. She had no ears with to hear, heart with to beat, or mind with to think, but they were all just small details Douglas looked past. He opened his arms, and embraced his true love, the giant laser cannon known only as the Enigma.
Zero, Lifesaver, and Signas looked on in disgust as they watched Douglas attempt to french kiss a weapon of mass destruction. The screen upon which they watched blipped off with Lifesaver's touch, and the room stood silent for a moment.
"This is more than just a problem." Signas sighed, placing his hand on his forehead.
"Our only hope is that mavericks are affected too." Lifesaver drummed his fingers on a desk.
"So what? Our troops can make out with them instead of blowing them to pieces?" Zero scowled at the doctor.
"Look, it's not like I like the idea either, but at least it would be preventing war, right?" Lifesaver attempted to rationalize.
"It's going to be war if a maverick tries to flirt with me." Zero clenched his fist.
"Relax both of you!" Signas finally broke in, "There's nothing we can do until Lifesaver's men have made more of the vaccine. Lifesaver, you go work on a cure. Zero, you and I need to try to find X, and any other unit that haven't been effected yet, and quarantine them. Gentlemen, you have your orders. Doctor, communicate me immediately when there are new vaccines ready."
"Yes sir." Lifesaver saluted, and then ran off to the lab. Zero gave a skeptical look to Signas.
"Sir...what if we find X, and he's...you know...with Alia."
"Er...well..."
The sun had already set, and the sky was already starlit. A black quilt spread out across the sky, revealing in its stitching the pinpricks to heaven. Iris gazed at the sky from her bedroom window. The cold, chilly air blew past her, raising and lowering her chocolate brown hair. She shivered in her pink pajamas, and made quick to close the window and the shutters. She turned to her room, decorated festively with all sorts of girly pink things and stuffed things, not to mention the pictures of her brother and Zero. She wandered to one corner of the room, and collapsed on her soft bed. Her head was already beginning to feel fuzzy with the gentle feathers of sleep tickling her mind. She pulled her blanket close and readied herself for a good nights sleep, when a tap came to her ears. She ignored it, too focused on sleep to care. The room settled to silence, for only a moment, when another tap softly lit the room. She blinked her eyes open and glanced at the window, where she assumed she heard the noise. Surely enough, another tap came to be. She waited once more, and the tap became louder this time. She wasn't completely sure what to do. Then the brick came sailing through the window in a shower of glass. She screamed and ran over to the window to see what was going on. A blue robot stood outside, a pile of pebbles and two more bricks at his side. His red forehead jewel shone in the darkness, and his defiant eyes looked right into hers.
"X!" She near-yelled in her British accent, waving her arms angrily in the air. "What do you think ya' doing! It's afta' lights out, you broke my window, what the-"
"I love you." The words came out so strongly, and so honestly, Iris hushed herself at once. She stared long and hard at the reploid standing so innocently on the street below. She felt a strange tingling in her chest, as her furrowed brow softened.
"I...I...oh X, ya' so romantic..." Her eyes widened, as she clasped her hands together.
"Come on, let's spend the night together..." He cooed, outstretching his arms. She nonchalantly ripped out the rest of the sharp pieces of glass in her window and jumped from her two story room into X's arms. They nuzzled cheeks for a moment, and then sprinted off into the darkness.
Gate's cheeks blushed deep red as he gazed into the purple eyes afore him. He could not stand it any longer. The passion in the room was too much for him to handle. His lips were wet with anticipation, and he couldn't control himself. His leant forwards and kissed the only person he had ever truly loved. His lips met with themselves as his romantic kiss met his bathroom mirror.
Dynamo and Alia laid next to each-other, obviously exhausted. Their naked bodies, covered by the blanket, heaved as they both rested from their actions.
"Alia...that was...amazing..." Dynamo spoke between breaths.
"I know...wait...where did this blanket come from?" Alia asked, bewildered at the random, pop-up material.
"I don't know, although I have the strangest urge to think it has soemthing to do with a T rating."
"What does that mean?"
"I have no idea"
But seriously, naked Chinese checkers is awesome.
Zero and Signas had only gotten three reploids who weren't infected. They were sealed off in separate containers, all put into stasis for the time being. Lifesaver had already vaccinated them, but wished to study them for testing, just in case. Zero uneasily thumbed his saber, unsure of the events that would surely take place in the following days. Nothing seemed sacred anymore. Especially Douglas.
Congratulations! You have achieved Chapter 2!
Yeah, sorry guys for this taking so long. I got distracted with other stories, and school and stuff. School's over now, though, so stay tuned for more chapters. And more creepy stuff from Douglas. Seriously, what's up with him?
