I am a lazy little princess who never does fight scenes, arrgh! (ahem) Well I will figure something out, I am sure. Anyways, I don't believe there will be a fight scene in this chapter so it's ok for now. And the transferring...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
There was shouting and screaming coming from over a hill and the thrishing sound of rumpled clothes- perhaps few children to go rolling down the side.
"Cammy! I knew we should have went the other way!" Alouette shouted as Cammy's rolling form managed to hit her head several times. If anyone had been around to see this, one may wonder why a ball of clothes complete with a hat and goggles were rolling down a hill at top speed.
"It wasn't my fault, Ally! I didn't see the drop! I swear!"
"Oof! Well, it was a hill, Cammy!"
"Yeah, well, what's that supposed to mean?"
"It means... Team Biscuit is blasting off again!"
The long roll continued, along with the two's constant bickering.
"Now we'll never catch up to Zero!" Cammy squeaked.
"But-ow! Cammy... this is actually faster, yes?"
"I guess so..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From a short distance away, a figure watched calmly. Phantom stayed where he was, arms crossed, looking at the little ball rolling down the hill. He had been watching the soldier for some time now, but had never gotten close enough to hear what he was saying- therefore, he still did not know that it was two children in disguise.
"Hmm... Most peculiar," he muttered, still scrutinizing the odd form. It was strange that the soldier was heading toward Neo Arcadia, but then, perhaps it did make sense. The original owner of the clothes had been knocked out and this reploid had taken the uniform, leading him to believe that that probably wasn't a member of the Resistance Base.
I know I should be looking up some information on that girl, Brina, but this... is very intriguing. A grin formed on his lips, and he edged to go closer to the little bundle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The little trip and stumble finally ended, making the ball of clothes look more ragged. It didn't move for a few moments, but a small whisper could be heard afterwards.
"Ally? Ally? Are you still with me?" Cammy opened her eyes, struggling and squirming in the mass of clothing before her head popped up from the collar, that hat somehow still on her head, although she unfortunately had to rummage through the bundle for her goggles. Her hair was tangled and matted, and her eyes were still somewhat confused by all that had happened. The breeze made the little girl shiver slightly, and she looked up to the sky to see the sun go down.
"Oh, no... Now it's starting to get dark. No fair. How are we ever going to spot Zero now?" Cammy mumbled softly, attempting to struggle to her feet only to hear a little screech of pain.
"Cammy! Ow! Did you forget about me?" Alouette moved from under her, knocking Cammy all the way back to the ground with a thud.
Everything was silent, but for the sound of the children's complaints as they tried to get their little disguise back together in a neat, ordered form. Unfortunately, from the looks of it, it was going very slowly and sloppily.
Cammy spit out the little bit of dirt that collected in and around her mouth from being knocked off of her comrade, immediately turning to glare over at her as she tried to get back up. The attempt was a failure thanks to the bundled mess of clothing that encumbered her little legs.
"Ally? I didn't forget about you... I was calling you a few minutes ago. Didn't you hear me?" Without waiting for an answer, Cammy pulled herself up into a sitting position, still connected to the pants of the soldiers uniform, with Alouette still trapped underneath.
"Well I guess that doesn't matter anymore. Um... Come on, Ally! We have to catch up to Zero! It's already getting dark! And... and... when it's dark... I heard something awful happens when little kids are out when the sun goes down." She shuddered, putting her arms around herself for comfort. Eyes closed, she began the small story of tragedy for children. "It's... It's horrible... Ally... At night, if little kids aren't inside when the sun goes down, a monster comes out. A very scary monster. A monster so scary that it probably scares kids to death before they are eaten or taken away... or... or used as guinea pigs for experiments!"
Alouette looked up at her, her head not all the way out, but just enough so she could see Cammy. Blinking lightly, she felt herself begin to shake as well. "Well, out with it Cammy! What is it?"
Cammy looked over with a very serious expression, arms still crossed. She then looked up at the sky. "Well, mommy Levi told me the story. You see... this monster... it's no ordinary monster, Ally. Not the boogey man, not the crazy cloaked man with the scythe... no... no, it's even worse!" She was silent for a moment, before looking over and whispering three words. "Biscuit Buster Man..."
Alouette tilted her head, looking somewhat confused. "Wha- Biscuit Buster Man? What's so scary about that?"
Cammy's eyes widened, and she grabbed Alouette and shok her. From a distance, it looked like nothing more then Cammy shaking her pant leg. "Don't you get it! Don't you understand! Ally! His name is the... Biscuit Buster Man... and recently... what have we become?" She waited, seeing Ally's widening eyes and the hint of fear on her face.
"B-Biscuit Agents..." Ally whispered.
Cammy just nodded and moved to get up again, this time with the cooperation of her partner. "Mommy Levi even told me that my Uncle Biscuit is scared of the Biscuit Buster Man 'cause he can swallow you whole and he is very fast. She even told me that one kid was eaten in Neo Arcadia the other day, so she warns me to never stay out late... otherwise... it could happen..." She looked up, and then down again to speak to Alouette. "Well, we still have time. The sun is still up. If we find Zero by that time... We can stay somewhere inside and the Biscuit Buster Man won't eat us! Remember Ally... We are not safe... until we find Zero and Miss Ciel. So let's get a move on! Yahoooo!" Cammy was about to start running, but then realized that she couldn't, since Alouette was on the bottom. She lowered her eyes, putting one hand to her head and letting out a long sigh. "Ally"?
"Yeah"?
"Run..."
"Oh... okay... Yahoooo!" Alouette ran as fast as her legs would allow, although it wasn't very fast. If anything, the odd movements were more reminiscent of a penguin wearing the soldiers' uniform. They waddled past a few hills, refusing to up any of them anymore after what had happened the last time, and although rolling might of been faster, it definitely was not pain free.
Little did they know, they were being followed.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Fefnir was not too far away from the two agents. He had searched high and low for the small human girl. He was certain that he had checked every part of the Resistance Base, and although he could have missed a place or two, he doubted they could be in there anyways. "How hard can it be to find two little midgets!" He walked along quickly, eyes narrowing and darting left and right. A few Guardian Pantheons followed close behind, having nothing to say as usual. They were about as bright as a rock. The good thing about them, though, was that if anything, they didn't argue back when given orders. That was always a plus.
"Well, this is just ridiculous. I can't find them anywhere, and we've been out here long enough that we should have spotted them. No choice but to go back and report to Master X. Never wanted that little squirt coming back, anyway." He groaned, looking down at the ground in front of him and staring at a few pebbles. Of course, much more was going through his head. One thing he had to be prepared for was listening to Leviathan's big mouth and her nonsense about caring for Cammy.
"That little girl probably likes being here, anyways. If I am not mistaken, that old janitor told me something about two girls coming outside to play. Well then... she has a friend. Wouldn't want to take her away from her little buddy, would I?" Fefnir spoke clearly, obviously trying to make himself feel better about the whole thing, and to that end, it was working. "So what do you all think?" he asked, looking over at the Pantheons with a wide grin.
The group of dull X-drones stared straight ahead, staying silent.
Fefnir glared, turning away from them and crossing his arms, letting out a small huff. "Useless buckets of bolts... can't even make conversation," he muttered, closing his eyes.
The Guardian Pantheons still said nothing, merely waiting for another order.
Fefnir stayed where he was, his head still down, eyes closed. He nodded a few times to himself before looking back over to the mindless drones. "Alright now... We're just going to go back to Neo Arcadia, understood? Master X will have to come up with something else. I'm tired of playing hide and seek with this girl. It's not my job anyways to do stuff like this. As far as I'm concerned, Leviathan can come down here by herself and get that little girl. For all I care, she can take all of you on her self-centered mission."
There was a long, brooding silence. It lasted no more then a few minutes, but Fefnir took it as eternity, throwing his hands up in anger and exasperation.
"Never mind! Why do I bother talking to you morons! You can't even think for yourselves. If anything, you're just an insult to Master X. Why he even wants you all is going to confuse me to the end of time. You're all dumb! You're all stupid! Don't you get it! Do you even hear me!" The red Guardian turned to look at them and saw that they still had made no movement and remained quiet.
"...Let's go..." He muttered, turning in the direction of Neo Arcadia and starting forward.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Zero reached the entrance to Neo Arcadia, eyes narrowing at the sight. His hand rested firmly on the hilt of his Z-saber, his hair blowing back by the strong, everlasting breeze. I know Ciel is in here. I just find it hard wondering why they would do this so suddenly. He kept his eyes opened, still staring out in front of him, taking a few slow steps forward. It doesn't matter... What's done is done. And I can't do anything more than bring her back safely. I expect somewhat heavy security... But I won't let anything stop me from getting Ciel back... nothing.
The red legendary reploid, never being one for stealth missions, quickly removed his Z-saber, replacing it with his buster gun. He held it close to him before letting his arm extend towards the door. He never expected it to open so easily to a charged up shot from the buster, but if anything, he needed it to open, and he knew that whatever was behind the walls would not just sit around and wait for him to finally blast it open.
Just a little more. The sound increased, a small aura of light surrounding the gun. Almost. He stayed where he was, leveling the buster as it charged. He waited with eyes narrowed. Although charging it up never felt like it took long in the past, it felt like forever now. Zero knew it was probably just his eagerness to take Ciel back and perhaps show Fefnir a thing or two about doing such things behind his back. The sound reached a high level pitch before stopping where it was, not going any higher or lower. The light circled around it, as if waiting for the right moment to release. There... now come and get me.
He quickly fired, aiming it in the very middle of the two double doors. As he had thought beforehand, it was certainly not enough to open it, but just enough to alert the others on the opposite side. If anything... they should've already known I was here. Must not be as sharp as I thought they were.
The blast made contact with the doors, leaving a small dent on the left side. Zero knew it was only a matter of time before they opened, but he wanted anyone beyond it to know that he was here and he was ready for any of them. He shot a few more lower level blasts at the door, hitting the same spot each time, hoping that would be more then enough to alert the enemy. If it didn't... then he would eventually just knock the whole thing down.
Before he could fire any more shots, the double doors rumbled gently and slid open. Zero smiled, closing his eyes for a moment and lowering his buster. But what happened next was something he was not expecting at all. "...What...?"
There was nothing but darkness before him. Not a single enemy in sight. It struck him as odd, since usually there were so many, even before he reached this area. "None of them... Not... one of them," Zero whispered, taking one step forward cautiously. "What's... going on? This isn't like them. I sense nothing around me at all." He took a few more steps, finally realizing that he was through the entrance. It was still quite dark inside, but he could still see fairly well. Silence surrounded him, making him immediately tense up. Since when did Neo Arcadia ever welcome him in such a... poor fashion?
He continued along the way, the echo of his own footsteps the only sound in the overall silence. His attention remained on his surroundings, wary of ambush. "So dark... Like that... other... time." Zero wasn't even sure he knew what he was talking about, but something about this scene seemed so familiar. He stared straight ahead, looking out to all that was before him, which of course, was not a lot at all. Maybe a few crates and boxes, but since when did any of that ever bother him?
The red reploid could not find it in himself to move. Not one inch. Not one step forward. He gritted his teeth, still looking directly in front of him before hearing the sound of a few slow footsteps behind him. Zero turned his head quickly, the swift movement whipping his hair up to swing out, though it gracefully landed on his back again in a gentle manor. His eyes widened as he saw a figure standing in the center of the opened doors. He was tall, and a smirk played across his features. Zero had a hard time making out who it was, since the room was shrouded in darkness.
"W-who... are you?" He knew the shape of the figure was very familiar- nearly as much as his surroundings- but he could not place a finger on who it was. He had seen this figure many times, but where was this form from? Why was he here now? Zero could not explain the built up anger inside of him that began to rise to his chest, showing clearly in his eyes. His hands clenched into fists, grasping the buster tightly.
"I... I know you... You... you are..."
The form stayed where it was as Zero looked back at it. Before he could turn all the way around, a sudden, shrill scream rang through the room, burning in his mind and ears. His eyes quickly snapped back to the front of him, staring straight ahead once again. They widened as he took a step back, dropping the buster which clanked as it hit the ground.
"Y-You...Why are you here? Why do you... Why are you doing this...?" He put his hands to his head, looking away, but her image was burned into memory, and now it felt like it had come back so strongly now.
"Your eyes... why do you look at me like that?" He received no answer, hearing small soft footsteps nearing.
The little form of a girl looked up at him, the most dismal, lifeless eyes on her face. They were glassy and red as if she had been crying for hours. "...Why...?" she whispered, although that could barely be heard.
Zero shook his head, taking another step back, turning his head, still seeing the figure by the entrance. "What are you talking about? I did nothing."
The girl followed along with every step he took. A silent tear streamed down her face, though it was not clear. Pure red leaked down her cheek, reaching her chin before dropping, yet never making contact with the ground. "...Why... Zero?" she mumbled again.
The somewhat shaken reploid looked back and fourth at the two forms before closing his eyes tightly, dropping to his knees. "Stop... stop... Go away." He felt so helpless over something that could not be real. It couldn't be... It couldn't...
"Why Zero... Why?" The child's voice echoed and repeated over and over again, until it began to fade into silence. Zero stayed on the ground, eyes still tightly closed, shaking his head.
"I didn't do anything... I... Didn't..." The forms slowly began to fade down to nothing, until there were no voices... nothing more. Zero stayed where he was. He felt nothing else around him. He heard nothing but a disturbing silence. Although what once was was now gone, Zero still could not sum up the strength to get to his feet.
"Just a few minutes... That's all I need."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The sound of a steady tapping rang through a familiar room, darkness creeping through it as it usually did. Copy X drummed his fingers along his arm rest on his chair, smirking. His eyes looked to a few flat screened monitors in the air, which showed only a few areas inside the heart of Neo Arcadia.
His eyes were set upon only one screen.
"Zero... What's the matter?" His question was very sincere and honest, but yet at the same time showed no concern for him. Copy X watched the shaking red reploid on the ground curiously, grinning at his pain, yet confused at the same time. "Hn... I let you come here quite easily this time and you seem to make it even harder for yourself. Why is that?" Not expecting an answer, he kept his eyes glued upon the screen.
"This is all too amusing... But unfortunately... I have things to do right now. After all, I did promise to inform Ciel when her hero arrived. And indeed he has. I certainly don't want to keep her waiting. But..." He looked back at the screen, standing up and taking a few steps toward the door. "Don't keep me waiting either, Zero. I don't have a lot of patience. And as much I enjoy watching you stay on your knees like this... I still would like to see you myself. Better hurry and gather yourself quickly." His eyes closed for just a moment before opening again, and he walked out of his chambers, heading toward Ciel's temporary prison.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Night had fallen just as the two clumsy girls reached Neo Arcadia. Tired and a bit worn out, they continued trying to rush all the way, still frightened that the monster would soon come and claim their lives.
"This is so great! I can't believe we finally made it! See Ally? We never needed anyone's help anyways, right?" Cammy looked over, as she entered the now-calm city. The humans were all beginning to settle in their homes, intending to relax for the night. Nobody ever really paid any mind to the waddling, unsteady form that passed by.
Alouette continued to walk, swaying to the right and left quite often, her eyes peeking out from the little opening on the middle of the shirt. Hearing Cammy and seeing all that was in front of her, she just nodded before realizing that Cammy was expecting a audible answer. "Um y-yeah. You're right," she muttered softly.
Cammy hummed, still walking along, though trying to hide the sinking feeling in her chest as she passed by a very familiar alleyway. Her eyes immediately looked away. She had completely forgotten that they had to pass by this way to get to the main controlled area of Neo Arcadia. She suddenly felt like she wanted to cry again, but it was time to save Zero and miss Ciel.
Mommy Levi... said don't cry... She would always be here with me... So I can't... cry... I just.. Cammy quickly shook away her thought, eyes lowering, though she knew she still would not be able to see Alouette from her angle. "Ally? You alright? You seem... well, a bit... I don't know."
The young reploid girl came to a sudden stop. her eyes closing for a few moments. I don't like Neo Arcadia... I never have... I almost wanna go back. But Cammy is right. We need to save Ciel and Mr. Zero. The base isn't the same without them. And... and maybe if we try hard enough... we can do it.
"Ally? You hear me?" Cammy spoke again, a hint of confusion in her voice.
Alouette opened her eyes again, looking straight ahead to what she could see, walking again, though the motion still resembled a terribly confused drunk. "Umm, yeah! I'm okay. Let's go get 'em now!" Her thoughts ever so often tried to pull her back into her head, but she continued to push them back. It wasn't that a big of a deal now. She was with Cammy now. And although she had not known her for very long, Cammy was the closest she had ever had to a true friend. In any case... she was her true friend.
The rest of the way was pretty much silent. Both girls had things to think of and both had a bit of a hard time taking the path that had now started to become very torn and sad, but they both knew if they kept going, they would come to a smoother area. After that... they would be back with who they were most comfortable with.
"Ah, well, we're here... Hey, why does the door look like it's been beaten up...? Hmm... Oh, well. Let's hurry in before the Biscuit Buster man catches us," Cammy whispered, looking back cautiously. Alouette started walking in, her slow, shaky footsteps echoing in the stillness. Cammy felt the need to hurry Alouette along, but really couldn't complain since she was a bit shaken up herself. She didn't see anyone, but that didn't mean that something couldn't grab them. The small human girl cleared her throat, fixing the hat on her head. The goggles were starting to irritate her, but she was going to take them off soon anyways.
"Well... umm, okay... This is what we'll do. Zero is probably over here. And miss Ciel... We... well, Zero said... never mind. We're going to walk a little further and then split up. We might be able to find them a lot faster that way, right? And remember Ally; We're secret agents... We can't get caught. So be prepared." She expected to hear Ally respond, but instead received a small poke on her shoulder. She widened her eyes at the touch, but in the dark she could not see who or what had made contact with her. Fear began to well up inside of her. "Oh no... We're not exactly inside... That means..." she whispered, still not able to do much else but stare.
"Cammy? What's the matter up there? I said okay... Now-"
"Ally! Turn us around! I mean... well, Run!" Cammy pleaded, lifting her hat from her head and fanning herself, giggling nervously over at the form that stared back at her with a sharp expression. The darkness confused them however, and Alouette turned as instructed only to meet with the same form in front of them.
"Meeeep! Cammy! It's the-"
"I know! Biscuit Buster Man!" Cammy finished, flailing her arms quickly. Alouette copied her reaction, getting nowhere fast. The balance between the two became worse than before and they both toppled over with a loud thud. They squirmed to free themselves from the tangle of clothing, though the shadowed figure in front of them made no move, simply staring.
"We're not good biscuit agents! Don't eat us! I know an Uncle Biscuit! And he would be a lot more um... delicious!" Cammy cried out, trying to untangle herself once again from the jumbled mass of clothes. Alouette did the same, pulling herself forcefully out of the pants opening, rolling forward, and shaking away the dizziness that followed after. For the sole reason that she felt safer inside something, the small reploid grabbed the pants and pulled them over her whole body, the overly large boots still on her small feet.
Cammy swung around madly, the long sleeves slapping her in the face several times. The hat had fallen over her eyes, and the goggles were now somewhere on the floor- they were the first to go. She expected to be swallowed up any moment, but still nothing seemed to happen. Poking her small head out from the neck piece, Cammy glared, biting her lip, her small hands moving the hat up off from her eyes. "Why must you toy with us! Why make us feel so... helpless! Oh, the horror! The horror!" she wailed dramatically, though it caused no reaction from the shadowed form.
Cammy crossed her drooping sleeve-covered arms, waddling up to him, still not able to make out a face. She noticed that Alouette had managed to stand up, though still blanketed by the pants.
"Well, if you must, Mr. Biscuit Buster Man..." she looked up with a somewhat stern expression, her hat slowly falling over her eyes again.
The two looked back at each other, Alouette covering her eyes, hiding in the torn pants. "I can't watch... "
Cammy walked a little closer, the serious frown still on her face. Silence reigned for just a little longer. The frown on the girl's face very quickly turned into a sheepish smile, and she extended her to the shadow, poking him on the shoulder with one finger. "You have to catch us first... Tag, you're it!" she shouted, running to one door on the left of the room. She didn't bother to turn and see if he followed, but she did call back to her companion. "Run! Run like the wind! Take the other door! We will not be eaten! Never!" her voice faded, the small door sliding shut behind her.
Alouette panicked as the form finally began moving toward her. She squeaked, practically hopping toward the opposite door from the one Cammy had taken, still wearing the baggy pants. She said nothing, struggling toward her exit. Alouette hopped through, letting the door shut behind her, not knowing if the monster was going to go after her... or Cammy.
Still in the shadows, the figure stood, arms crossed, staring to the two doors. He figured the one hopping in the pants would be the easiest to catch. Besides, the other one... well... someone else could handle her. But still... "Most peculiar.." With those quick words, Phantom headed for the door, his arms slipping down to hang at his side.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Fefnir grumbled down the hall, glad that he had finally made it back. He only dreaded the thought of telling Master X the news. Somehow, this was all going to be his fault. The last time he checked, he was no babysitter. "Crazy kids... crazy girl..." he mumbled, raising a small biscuit to his mouth and taking a little bite. He closed his eyes, trying to think of what to do next. There was one thing he was sure of; things couldn't possibly get any worse. He already knew that Master X was going to yell at him and complain. Leviathan was probably going to attempt to kill him in his sleep, or on a lighter note, possibly slap him. Sage would do nothing but lecture him about values and such. He never really listened to any of it. In fact, he remembered one interesting chat with Harpuia. It was no big deal, really. He had simply forgotten to clean up in the training room after he was done. And who else better for the job of lecturing than Sage Harpuia? He went on for almost an hour, jabbering on such nonsense about responsibility and the horrid sin known as 'Sloth'. That was all Fefnir pretty much heard- that and other bits and pieces of course. Something in the matter of... "Your lazy... blah, blah, blah...You have no shame..." and that he was, well... lazy again.
"Stupid Harpuia, always bothering me over such dumb stuff... In any case, he should be thanking me. Why, without me, they would all-" Fefnir still chewed on the biscuit, though pausing on his proud speech because he heard and felt something quickly go by. His eyes opened, jaw dropping. He thought he was hallucinating, but that was very doubtful.
"Hi Uncle Biscuit! Bye Uncle Biscuit!" Cammy shouted, running down the hall, giggling. She waved at him, quickly passing him by. Her hair swung over her face, bouncing up and down with her movements.
The red guardian clenched his fists, eye twitching. "You... You... Little worm! Get back here!" he shouted, still holding the small biscuit to his mouth. Not wasting any time, Fefnir gave chase, making sure to keep his precious biscuit in his hand. "You hear me! Get... back... Here!" he raced through hallways, charging like a mad bull. He couldn't help but notice he looked as though he was chasing a shirt and hat. The little girl was so small and petite; of course the clothes buried her.
"Wow! Uncle Biscuit wants to play tag too, huh? Well, okay! Yay! Come on Uncle! Come get me!" Cammy giggled again, running around a small corner. She spotted a long stairway, though it didn't look too nice. It was dark and gave her a small chill. However... she was playing a game, and she hated to lose. Catching her breath, Cammy smiled, hurrying down the stairway, hearing the clonking Fefnir come close behind her.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Alouette was not having as much fun as Cammy. She believed the one to be after her was none other than the Biscuit Buster Man. For awhile, she felt as though she were running from nothing, but as a few minutes passed, she turned, discovering that he was after her. It didn't leave her mind that he was probably just slowing down on purpose so he could toy around with her before he ate her. The thought made her feel ill. She closed her eyes tightly, still hopping frantically through the halls.
"Leave me alone, you meany! I am not food! Meep!" Her whining increased in volume as she bounced through another hall and passed by a soldier who was apparently off duty. He held a little bottle of alcohol, sipping at it a few times before peering over it.
One would, of course be concerned with one's sanity level when a pair of pants hops down halls, rambling on about not being someone's food. The soldier looked at the bottle, then to the hopping pair of pants before shaking his head and tossing the bottle in a trash bin that was nearby. "...I quit..." he mumbled. As if things couldn't get any worse, the last person that he expected to be chasing that pair of pants was the Guardian, Phantom. His jaw was slack as he watched the entire strange scenario unfold before his eyes. As soon as it had passed, he rushed to his room to throw away the rest of his alcoholic beverages. "I think.. .I've had enough."
Past the hallway, Alouette hurried along, spotting a dark stairway. Not even thinking about what could down there, she raced ahead. Nothing could be worse than the Biscuit Buster Man. It was a little cold near the bottom, but Alouette had no time to think about that. She had to find Cammy, and fast. She was starting to hope that perhaps instead of her saving Zero... he would save her. The sound of water dripping in made her feel a little uneasy, but her frantic speed did not stop. If anything, she went faster. In her state of panic, the little reploid didn't notice that she had reached a single door in the middle of the room. She doubled over, putting her hands to her knees taking in deep breaths. "I... I don't... wanna... be... huh?" Her gaze traveled over to the important piece she had missed. It appeared as though it would not open very easily, but her concern quickly turned back to her pursuer, who seemed to have disappeared, oddly enough.
A noise coming from the other side alerted her, but to what, she wasn't quite sure. "U-Um..." She took a few steps back, waiting. There wasn't any possible way that the Biscuit Buster Man had outsmarted her and took another route without her knowing about it. Alouette squinted, staring straight ahead. The running noise, plus some sounds of screaming and shouting reached her ears, but it only lasted a little longer. It was a great relief to her when she found none other than Cammy come racing around the other side. Cammy looked just as happy, her face lighting up. Nearly losing her balance, Cammy cried out, latching onto Alouette and trying to catch her breath. She was still smiling, and she looked over to the corner that she had just came around, from which yelling and screaming still resonated.
"Um... Cammy?" The shaky reploid poked her a few times.
"Sshh... Wait for it..."
"Wait for what?" Alouette was very confused about the current situation, though it did not seem to be a good day. Just as she was beginning to relax, her little form immediately tensed up. Coming from around the corner, the horrid Biscuit Buster Man raced at top speed. She just knew he was playing around with her. "Oh no! Not again!"
As if things couldn't get any worse, the red Guardian Fefnir, who was the source of all the yelling, turned the corner from the other side, running at top speed as well. "Hey! You hear me! I said come here!" Fefnir shouted as loud as he could, still running ahead at her.
Cammy looked back and fourth at the two. A small smile ran across her lips, and she turned to Alouette quickly. "Ally... Biscuit Agents away! First command... Duck!" She raised one hand in the air happily before dropping to the floor quickly, giggling.
Alouette seemed very confused, watching as the two very intimidating reploids came closer. "D-Duck... where?" she asked.
Cammy sighed, taking her hand and yanking her down beside her, leaning against the wall as far back as she could, mumbling numbers.
"1.."
Fefnir didn't register in his mind the fact that Cammy and the other girl ware gone for a few seconds. When it finally got through his head, he immediately attempted to skid to a stop, the biscuit still in his hand.
"2.."
Phantom noticed the same thing, also trying to stop. His eyes went a little wide, seeing that Fefnir wasn't doing so well at stopping. Not that he would blame him. He wasn't doing so good himself.
"3.."
Fefnir tried to turn away sharply, yelling out. "Oh... No!"
Phantom had the same thoughts going through his head. "Stop, you fool!"
There was a loud crash afterwards, making the two small girls down below wince. The biscuit in Fefnir's hands flew up in the air, the sticky butter and honey melted on it, allowing it to stick to the ceiling for a temporary time. The two both instinctively covered themselves up with their hands. Cammy couldn't help but giggle. "That was fun! We should do that again, Ally!"
The little reploid looked over, a bit shocked to hear anything like from Cammy. Alouette personally had been a little frightened, although that fear was short lived, seeing the two Guardians sprawled out in front of them, twitching and mumbling random words. "You dont... think... they're... dead, do you, Cammy?"
Cammy watched the two for some time before looking over putting her hand to her chin. "...Well... no... otherwise they wouldn't be talking and everything. I think they're just a little... well, their minds are out to lunch, yup, yup! I recommend peanut butter and jelly for it. That's always a good lunch. What do you think Ally?"
Alouette looked them over as well before coming up with the selected food. "I still think Biscuit Buster Man wants biscuits... "
Cammy shuddered quickly, looking over to the supposed monster they were all running away from. "hmm... you know what? The Biscuit eater sure does look like Ninja man..." She squinted, looking him over, before she let out a small gasp. "Why... he... he is Ninja man! Who would have thought he was a kid-eating fiend in disguise! shame on him!" Cammy huffed, crossing her arms, and leaned against the wall.
Alouette remained silent beside her, not really knowing what words to say. She found herself not being able to get anything out anyways, her body slipping back and falling backwards on the ground. "...H-huh?" Alouette looked up, blinking a few times, her hands resting on her stomach. What she saw made her squeak and tremble. "Uh oh..."
Cammy, who had fallen as well, realized that the door they were leaning on was now opened. She stared straight up to someone who was very familiar with her. And he didn't look very pleased. "Daddy!" she squeaked with joy.
Harpuia looked down at the two, trying to think what to make of the sight in front of him. Unfortunately, he could come up with nothing. So he just did the next best thing. "...Cammy... explain yourself."
