Diamond was worried about Axl. Normally, he never slept in this late so she went up to his room and knocked on his door. "Axl, are you there?" Diamond called. She got no reply. She put in the code and Axl's room door slid opened and she looked inside to see no Axl but a letter sitting on the bed. Now she was extremely worried as she ran over and skimmed over the letter. "Oh no," she whispered before she ran out the room and bumped into Zero on the way.

"Hey, what's the big rush, Diamond?" Zero asked and he saw the note in her hand. He took it as Diamond was getting up and read over it.

Z,

I have the boy. If you value his life then I suggest you come to the Melda Ore Plant and just try to save him from the cold plant where your fate lies.

Airaxe

Zero growled low, before he turned and ran off. "Hey wait! Zero, where are you going?!" Diamond called and he stopped and turned back to her. "I'm going to save my little reploid." Zero said before he went into the command room. Diamond stood there for a bit before she smiled softly. 'I knew you cared for him, Zero. Please, come back alive. Both of you.' she thought before she headed off once more.

Zero walked over to Nana and she looked up to him. "What's the matter, Zero?" she asked. "I need you to transport me to the Melda Ore Plant; I have a rescue mission to do." Zero said and she nodded as she typed in the coordinates. After a while, she looked back up to him. "Ok, it's ready, go ahead Zero." Nana said and he nodded as he stepped into the portal.

Axl woke up to find out he wasn't back at the base but in a cold cell, his arms chained to the wall. 'Hey, where am I?' Axl wondered when he heard a door open and his worst nightmare came through. "Well, I see you're finally awake." Air said, his form being showed fully from the light. He was as he said when they met before.

He was a mix of different animals. He had two heads; one was a lion and the other a demon-like beast while his gold wings represented a falcon or eagle. His tail was that of a cobra that looked like it moved on its own but Axl couldn't be for sure since it didn't move at all yet.

His hind legs were covered in scales so he believed that to be part dragon or some other animal that had scales. He wore gold armor that held a black stone in the center that looked like it pulsated with power and their eyes were an eerie black which scared Axl the more he looked into them and turned away as they walked over to him.

"Now, now Axl, don't be like that. I heard wind from one of my shadows that your hero is coming to save you in a matter of moments but it makes me wonder if he would be able to find you before we get to him." Air said and Axl looked back up to him, fear evident in his eyes.

"Please, don't hurt him. I'll do anything you want, just don't hurt him." Axl pleaded and the two headed chimera thought about his request before he smiled evilly. "Ok then, we'll take up on that offer and let your hero find you but he will be seeing something that you will regret." He said before leaving once more, the cobra coming to life and hissed at him as the door closed.

Axl lowered his head as he shivered from the coldness of the cell. 'What have I gotten myself into this time?' Axl thought as he started to cry.

'Please, Zero. Z. Anyone. Help me.'

After he made it to the plant, he felt Absolute Zero's anger rising as he sensed Axl in the facility. He knew that Axl happens to like him as well as Absolute Zero but he couldn't learn of that yet. He didn't want him to feel that he rejected his feelings.

He doesn't. He and Absolute Zero would never reject him but it was too hard for them to believe that Axl would reject them instead so they never told him their feelings for him.

But now that he has confessed, this mission would mean a lot to them both.

'Don't worry, we will save you Axl.' Zero thought as he entered the facility; Z ready to take place when needed.

Axl's tears subsided long ago as he felt a cold coming to him. Staying in this place made him feel lonely and unsafe. After taking care of Ferham here, it seemed more abandoned. He didn't like this place at all but he was held captive and he couldn't do a thing about it. But what worried him the most is what Airaxe was planning to do with him once Z shows up.

'Hopefully he won't force himself upon me. That's the last thing I need.' Axl thought as he coughed a bit, the cold affecting him more than he needed.

Zero ran through the plant, fighting off mechaniloids that get in his way. Z was getting angrier the more he felt Axl's pain and he could tell he just wants to rip the two headed chimera's throats out. He would like to do so as well but he would leave that to Z. Soon enough he came up to a barred door and Z told him that Axl was there.

Soon he shifted into Absolute Zero and he broke the door down, catching Axl's attention and he smiled. "Z, help me!" Axl cried out but coughed slightly, feeling more of the freezing effect of the plant. He ran over to him and put all his strength to bend the bars and walked inside.

"Are you ok, Axl?" Z asked. "I'm fine; I just want to get out of here. I hate this place and I'm getting colder by the second." Axl said before he went into another coughing fit. Z used his claws to bring the chains down and Axl rubbed his wrists before he was picked up by Z and he left out the room quickly.

But before they could reach the front gate back outside, Airaxe appeared in front of them and grinned. "Well, well. It's seems you do care for him. Too bad your carelessness with be the end of you. Now Axl, since I did make a deal with you to not hurt Z this time, you have to hold your end." Axe said and Axl shivered more, remembering the deal he made with the beast in front of him.

Z growled and held him tighter. "He won't do anything to your liking! I don't know why he would agree to something so underhanded but knowing you, you would trick him into anything to make sure his friends were safe!" Z yelled out but a cold hand was placed on his cheek and he looked down to him.

"Please Z, let me do this, I didn't want them to hurt you, that why I said I would do anything they would say to make sure you were safe." Axl said. "But…" Z started but Axl shook his head and he sighed before letting him down and he walked over to Airaxe slowly. "Now, what do you want to do with me?" Axl asked, sneezing slightly.

"Oh, nothing much, just a little kiss before you go even though we would be getting more after we're done with our plan." Air said and Axl swallowed loudly and Z growled, restraining himself to not attack the beast or he could try and kill Axl. Axl closed his eyes as the beast lowered its lion's head and he felt the disgusting kiss that the beast gave him.

His cobra-like tail wrapped around his waist, the head of the cobra placed around his shoulders and pulled him closer and his eyes squeezed closer together as tears slipped from his eyes. He didn't want this but in order to save his friends' lives for the moment, he had to do this.

Z growled even louder and was about to charge for the beast reploid when Axe looked up to him. "If you attack us then he will die by poison, there is a reason why us chimeras have a snake's tail." He said as the cobra came to life and poised at Axl's neck, ready to bite on command.

He stood stock still as he watched with more anger and guilt since he couldn't do anything that would cause Airaxe to hurt Axl anymore than he is now. Soon enough, Air broke the kiss and Axl moved back before he fell and Z ran over to pick him up as he started to cry, never wanting to experience that again.

Air licked his lips in satisfaction. "Such an exquisite taste you have, Axl. It make me want to take you away from you pathetic friends now and have you as my own but that would ruin my plan but don't worry, you will be with us soon enough." Air said as they disappeared.

Axl cried even more and Z carried him back to the portal and was transported back to New Hope so he can hurry and get Axl back to his room before he shifts back to Zero.
