Firehedgehog: Oh, that's a good idea but that's not the route I'm going. Heh. Oh yes, so many possibilities.
Something about the way Zero acts reminds me of Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist. I love that show.
"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen… nobody knows what I've seen. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen… Nobody kno-"
"For the love of god!" Jumping up from his throne, Sigma made tearing motions his head ( he had long since ripped out all of his hair in bouts of frustration such as this ) and glared at the singing female. Alice grinned back, sticking her tongue out and pulling the skin under her right eye down. "At least sing the right words!"
"But I don't know them Siggy." She leaned forward and grabbed hold of the bars that made up the front of the cage she was in, pressing her face against them. Sigma had the brilliant idea of keeping her looked up in his 'throne room' so that he could torture and interrogate her. Torture and interrogation was happening but seemed to be more coming from her and being applied to him. "I could sing a different song if you'd like."
"Fine! Anything but that same blasted song over and over!"
"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, deedle de de, and there they are a standing' in a row, bum bum bum-"
"GAH! SHUT UP!"
A bit dumbstruck by what had happened, it had taken Alia a bit before she could find someone to report the kidnapping too. She really should have told X since Alice was in his unit. She really shouldn't have told Massimo and Zero, since those two always got in trouble when they were together. Mostly because Massimo didn't argue with whatever Zero decided to do and Zero often decided to do the stupidest things.
As said before, though, Alia was a bit dumbstuck.
"So some maverick popped through the wall, grabbed Alice, and then disappeared?" The blond hunter's eyes widened when he heard this, a large grin finding its way on his way. "And now we have to go infiltrate the mavericks so that we can find Alice and make a daring rescue fraught with danger, calamity, and sex?"
"…. Um, no. At least not the sex part."
"Aww, damn."
"You remember the Alice is really Axl, right?"
"… okay, no damn."
"Shouldn't we assemble a team or something first?" Massimo scratched his head, looking a bit confused. Alia never came to him and Zero when she needed something. She always went to X. Or Axl. Or Marino. Because those three were reliable. Well, more reliable than himself and Zero. "If they took her to the maverick base then there's sure to be high amounts of security there. We can't just walk in and expect to have them return her."
"Sure we can!" Reaching up to put an arm around Massimo's shoulder – Zero had always found it disconcerting that there was now someone at hunters taller than him – the blond pulled him down so they could talk face to face. "Look, we're both good hunters, right? We're strong, we're, uh… well, I'm speedy. You're like… the unstoppable train. Just start chugging and nothing will get in your way. And this is Alice. We don't want to allow her to suffer any longer than she has too, right? Think of all the extra time it would take if we had to assemble a team."
Massimo nodded slowly, accepting the insidious and insane logic he was being presented. "Yeah, but-"
"Then it's settled. To the Bat Mobile Robin!"
"Tell me your secrets." The girl huddled back against the wall, fear flickering over her face. She glanced towards the door – so close and yet so far. If she made a dash for it she surely would be caught and then… then…
"Come on. If you do I won't hurt you… too much." An evil cackle left the lips of the maverick and the girl, panicked, made a run for it. Oh, it was all too easy. This would be over far too soon for her liking. Just a grab and-
WHAP!
"Ow…" Whining, HairDresserWoman rubbed the back of her head. "What was that for?"
"Aren't you supposed to be watching the prisoner?" Vile plopped down on the couch next to her and grabbed the controller. "Besides, you're not supposed to kill the girl. It causes a game over. Sheesh."
"But it's the best part of the game!"
"It's the beginning of the game. Have you ever tried to actually play through it all."
"Yes…" HDW looked down and whimpered. "It scared me too much."
"Well it is Silent Hill 7. It's supposed to be scary. Now go and watch the prisoner before Sigma comes back and sees that we left her unguarded. He'll have both of our heads then." HDW obediently got up and left the room, leaving Vile alone. Glancing around to make sure no one was watching he changed the game, putting Megaman X4 in instead. HDW was right – Silent Hill was scary. The last time he had played it he had nightmares for weeks. The X games, though, they were good fun… even if they were immortalizing his sworn enemies.
Grr.
Moments later HDW burst back into the room, causing Vile to have a mild heart-attack as he leapt for the Playstation to turn the game off. "Vile! We have a situation! The prisoner is missing!"
