Chapter 20: What family, cousins are for.
Axl didn't drink whine, instead he drank Sub-Pepsi, hoping this time he wouldn't get drunk. (Hey, he didn't know if that Sub-Pepsi Zero made him drink was whine)
X didn't feel like drinking whine, I mean he doesn't want to get in that trouble again, but this time it would be Signas. And if he makes a scene, ESPECIALLY from the girls (well, not Iris), then he's really going to ask for it.
"Erm – do you think the same is gonna happen to Signas, like whatever happened to us last time?" Axl wondered, asking X.
"I HOPE not, because if he does, well, odds are, he's screwed." X replied.
Axl agreed, OBVIOUSLY.
But if Signas is evil enough, instead of blaming himself, he'd blame X, Zero, and Axl, MOSTLY Zero and Axl; he rarely suspected X.
Oh, and about Zero… and Iris… well…
They're having sex… again.
His door was locked so no one can see, locked the window, and brought curtain down. They tried NOT making sounds. If he did make a single sound, then the rest of the break time he has will be nothing but hell.
But back in the whine cafeteria, something bad was about to happen.
No, Signas didn't get drunk.
"WHAT?" Colonel yelled, "You never told us, that our parents were…"
"Colonel, stop it." Signas sighed.
"You never told us our parents were whom?" Colonel snarled.
"LISTEN, ITS ALL HISTORY, FORGET ABOUT IT!" Signas shouted.
"NO! YOU CALL YOURSELF COUSIN? Shame on you…"
He called Iris to go back home. Iris had no choice, and joined Signas, but Zero called, "WAIT IRIS, WAAAAIT!"
"Iris, NEVER be in love with that Zero again, got it?" Colonel asked.
"But…"
"No buts! As your older brother, you do what I say!" Colonel ordered.
Zero ran to Iris, "Wait, Iris! You can't leave now! PLEASE!"
Colonel hit Zero with his elbow, not his Saber.
"DO-NOT-GET NEAR MY SISTER, UNDERSTOOD?" Colonel thundered.
They headed out.
"Erm, Signas, what happened? Parents?" X asked.
"Better not talk about it." Signas replied.
"Come on, Signas." X said.
"I'll tell you one small thing, he never knew who their parents were, who created them, I can say." Signas said.
"Um… Dr. Cain?" X wondered.
"No." Signas answered.
"What's the whole ordeal?" Axl asked.
"Dunno. He didn't tell me much." X replied.
Zero was sobbing on the ground, moaning "Why, Iris, come back!"
X and Axl came near him.
"There there… lets go back…" X said.
Axl pulled Zero's hair because he didn't seem to want to move his leg an inch. Zero now sobbed both from the pain on his hair and his heart.
Things did change after that.
Every time Zero tried to call Iris, Colonel took the phone from her, Colonel got the other phone and told him to hang up. X pondered everyday what the whole ordeal was. And Axl, well, he didn't give a care.
"Come on, Signas, TELL US!" X pleaded.
"No." Signas answered.
Zero ran to Iris' home, hoping Colonel wasn't there.
He was out the door step.
"Don't you EVER call that Mr. Blondie again, you hear?" Colonel ordered.
"Okay…" Iris said sadly.
When Colonel was nowhere in sight, Zero knocked on the window.
"Zero?" Iris called.
She opened the window and let Zero in.
"Listen, whatever your bro has grudge against me for, tell him I didn't do anything." Zero said.
"Well, I tried, but he still doesn' want me to, as long as you're a friend of our cousin." Iris added.
"Damn." Zero mumbled.
They chatted about Colonel for a bit, why he hated Zero so much.
"Ack! He's home!" Iris yelped.
"Better be outta here." Zero said farewell to iris, and headed out. Colonel just stepped in.
"You didn't call the red gayass, didn't you?" Colonel said.
Zero got really mad.
He didn't care what Colonel warned Iris about anymore, he just stepped into the door and punched Colonel on the face.
"You think you can get away with that?" Zero snarled.
Unfortunately for him, Colonel punched him back.
"Yeah, buddy. Bring it!" Colonel said, and they started fighting like mad. Their sabers were out and all kinds of whiiiiiir sounds from the Sabers were heard.
"Please stop, brother, Zero!" Iris pleaded, but they didn't care, and kept fighting anyway.
Iris kept pleading for them to stop, but they didn't.
"PLEASE!"
Tears were shown on Iris' face, because she seriously didn't want them fighting, in any kind of way. The two saw that, and stopped what they were doing. Zero left the house, but Colonel told him to wait, but Zero ran away anyway.
Wait, Colonel told him to WAIT?
Was he trying to say something, or just ridiculously, wanted to fight more?
Most likely to say something. If her sister seriously didn't like her brother and love fighting, then they should stop.
Zero came into the Hunter, where X saw him.
"Zero, is something wrong…"
"DON'T ASK!" Zero shouted and went into his room.
Axl came in with a confused look, and looked at X, and he shrugged.
What was going on?
X couldn't fight the curiosity anymore, so he instantly dashed to Signas' office.
"Alright, Signas, WHAT is this whole ordeal about?" X questioned.
X looked strict, and if he knew X, he was always that strict. He sighed.
"You see, he is a simple clone of me." Signas replied.
"WHAT?"
"You see, whoever created me, had gotten into a disease from a Sigma Virus, and therefore, simply created a clone of me, not generally Colonel himself. So if I die, X, so does my cousins. Iris was the original Reploid, though. She is not a clone of me, but was created after I was made, and after Colonel was cloned. Her data was analyzed by me, after I have been awakened, and she was awoken, along with Colonel." Signas explained.
"That's… sad…" X muttered.
"That's the whole thing. Colonel is outraged because he's a mere clone of me." Signas added.
X had to talk with Signas. HAD to.
"Yo, X, I'm tagging along. I wanna hear the whole story." Axl pleaded.
X nodded.
They went to driving, and arrived after a few hours (HOURS, because they don't know where they are).
"Erm-Colonel?" X said.
"X, its you, and… your friend. Come in." Colonel whispered.
X thought Colonel would be more like how he treated Zero right now.
They sat down to wherever Colonel told them to.
"X, tell Signas, and Zero, I'm sorry. I'm a clone." He said.
"I know." X said.
"Or do you? Ha ha!" Axl laughed.
"Quiet…" X reminded his manners.
"X, listen, in order for me to become a real Reploid, not a clone, there is only one way; you must install this into me." Colonel explained as he gave him a computer chip.
"Whats this?" X wondered.
"That is the only way when Reploids can become a real ones, if they are cloned. Sigma wanted it badly, to make any clone he makes real, and while I tried to take all of them away from him, he left the last one, which I hid. But no one can install it, but the real version of that clone." Colonel added.
"But Colonel, if you become an authentic Reploid, you will never be recognized as Iris' brother, or Signas' cousin!" X reminded.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we think of each as other." Colonel said.
X sighed.
"Signas, I want you to come to Colonel and Iris' home. We need you." Axl said with his cell phone.
He just hung up before Signas came.
"What if he doesn't?" X asked.
"Then I guess WE have to do that." Axl said.
"Us? Well, not in a million years!" X said.
"Erm… okay…" Axl mumbled.
Sigas came into wherever they were, in a flash.
"Whoa, how did you come here so fast?" Axl wondered.
"We can teleport, remember?" Signas reminded.
"Oh yeah…" X said.
"Look who didn't remember!" Axl teased.
"You could've done it too." X said.
'Damn.' Axl thought.
"Alright, Colonel, I'll make you real as you were suppose to be." Signas said.
He was inside a casule, and his head was connected to wires.
Signas inserted the chip into the computer.
"Chips? What chips? Potato chips?" Axl asked X.
X slapped his head.
"Not those kinds of chips…" He replied.
After that…
Colonel looked around. He felt more than normal. He was real, not a clone anymore.
X and Axl were happy about the story.
Meanwhile, Iris came to see what was going on.
"Whats going on?" Iris asked.
"YOUR BROTHER IS REAL NOW!" Signas exclaimed.
Colonel gave Iris a huge hug, and Iris returned that hug. X was happy to see the scene. Axl, well… he got bored and fell asleep.
Iris called Zero by the phone.
"Zero, how about a date?" She asked.
Zero was extremely happy, like X. He jumped and all…
This chapter is serious, but also long. I hope you enjoyed it (I had think a bit)
But the story will continue!
