Ushi-Sama- Welcome for the 6th installment of MMX: Admissions. Well I WAS going to do a nice little recap of the past 5 chapters but Fanfiction.net is being stupid so I'll just settle for running around in fear from Origin. Hey, here he comes!
* Runs around in fear *
Origin One- Hey there unloyal bastard fans. j/k.. maybe. Anyway, enjoy the chapter. NOW GET OVER HERE USHI SO I CAN BEAT THE SNOT OUT OF YOU!
A plasma bolt hit X in the chest. Even with his new armor on he could feel it.
"Give up X. I have you out done. You don't stand a chance." Said a shadowy figure.
"I'll never give up!" X yelled, struggling to his feet. "I have to defeat you if it costs me my life!"
"X!" said a voice from behind him. "Please X, don't fight him, I beg you. He's my brother!"
X looked back, standing behind him was Alia dressed in the same armor that Iris wore. He looked back and saw Colonel standing in front of him. X turned back to Alia seeing her badly damaged and laying on the floor. He looked back and Colonel was gone. He turned back to the injured Alia and kneeled beside her, holding her in his arms.
"X." she said, as her eyes fluttered closed.
X let out a scream as he sat up in his bed. A dream.it was all a dream.X thought to himself. But that was a dream of what happened when Iris died. Zero had told me about it. He got up from bed and checked his internal clock. It was 4:30. He had been asleep a mere two and a half hours. Well, as long as I'm up I might as well go for a walk he decided. He switched into his armor and left his room. The base seemed very peaceful this early in the morning. The only people running around were defense and navigation workers. X easily avoided most of the hustle and bustle and headed for the roof. He got onto the roof relatively fast thanks to a service mechanoid who happened to be going up. Once on the roof X found a quiet corner and sat, waiting for the sun to rise in an hour and a half. What could that dream have meant. And who was that first figure that I saw before Colonel? Before X knew it he was asleep again. When he woke up he found Alia standing over him. He quickly checked his clock, which read 5:45.
"What have we told you about sleeping up here X?" Alia joked. X sat up, and yawned.
"How did you find me? No one really comes up here."
Alia laughed. "A nice mechanoid told me."
X thought for a second before remembering how he had gotten to the roof. He looked back at Alia. "So, what are you doing up here? Don't you have work today?" he asked. Alia shook her head.
"Not today. Signas gave me the day off after the events of last night. Said he owed me a good day off anyway." She said. "OH! And I ran into Zero on the way here. He told me to tell you he was sorry for last night, and that you were right." X looked at Alia, surprised by what Zero had said. "I asked him why but he said to ask you." Alia said, sitting down next to X. "So what's the story?" Alia leaned on X's shoulder and put her arms around him. X sighed.
"Well," explained X, "we got into a fight about if I was being stupid going out with you without wearing my armor. I eventually brought up Iris and well, you know how Zero gets when someone brings up Iris."
Alia sighed. She did know what happened, all to well in fact. She had once made the mistake herself. She had just mentioned Iris's name and Zero didn't talk to her for a week. If X had brought her up in a fight who knows when Zero would be back to his normal self. "Well, I'm sure he can't stay that mad at you. I mean, your best friends for Canes sake. He even apologized!" Alia commented.
X nodded and put his arm around Alia. The sun started to rise as X and Alia looked on. It was a beautiful sunrise. The colors were more vivid then normal. X smiled and sighed. Alia looked up at X. "Anything on your mind X?" she asked curiously.
X sighed again. "Oh, its nothing, just a dream I had."
"Oh. well could I hear it?" Alia asked. "I love hearing other peoples dreams."
"I dunno." said X, not sure how Alia would take hearing that she died in the dream.
"Oh come on, I wont tell anyone." Alia begged.
X nodded. "Ok, why not. It was more of a nightmare though. It started out I was fighting a masked figure. Then you showed up dressed as Iris, spitting something about the figure being your brother and I turn around and there Colonel standing there."
"WAIT! You said I was dressed as Iris saying something about Colonel being my brother? Are you sure this isn't Zero's dream?" Alia said jokingly.
X laughed. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure. So then I turn around and. well it ends there."
Alia looked up at him and laughed. "Do you really think I believe you when you say it ends there? People can tell when your lying X. Not only are you bad at it but when you lye your energy levels spike. It seems like you seriously have to work against your programming to tell the smallest lie."
X laughed. "Right, I wont do it again. Anyway your right, something does happen after that but I don't really want to talk about it."
Alia frowned. "Why? Come on, you can tell me!"
"No, please Alia, just leave it." X pleaded. "I just really don't want to talk about it."
Alia thought for a second and nodded. "OK lover boy, but just this time."
A few hours passed uneventfully before X and Alia decided to get up. X helped Alia to her feet as they stood. It was getting close to 11:00 according to X's internal clock. "We should probably get some lunch." suggested X. Alia nodded and latched onto X's arm.
"Lead on X." She said.
X nodded and did as he was told. As they descended the stairs from the roof X noticed a lack of reploids in the hall. He hadn't had his headset on so he hadn't heard anything.
"Alia, is your headset on?" X asked. Alia shook her head. Before Alia was even able to ask why X dashed down the stairwells and halls that existed before the command room, leaving confused and a bit hurt. X glanced around him as he dashed through normally crowded halls. He soon found himself at a very crowded command center. Signis was standing on his normal elevated platform and Zero standing next to him.
"And so that's the situation, now lets get going." Signis called out. The reploids soon cleared out of the command center and Signis descended from his platform. Seeing X he smiled and walked over. "Ah X! Good to see your alright." He said.
X nodded. "Thanks, but what's going now?"
"Oh, nothing really. We're just clearing out the remaining Mavericks. Routine stuff after you defeat Sigma."
"Do you need any help? I'd be glad to if you need it." X said.
"Oh no, its fine. We should be able to destroy the remaining ones without a hitch. Anyway, I gave Alia the day off to spend with you. Where is she?" Signis asked.
X thought for a second, "OH SHIT! I didn't tell her where I was going. When I saw a lack of reploids in the halls it told me something was up so I dashed here. I totally forgot to tell her where I was going and why. Sorry, can't talk. Gotta find Alia!" X then turned and dashed off.
"Heh, people these days." Signis laughed to himself as he turned back to the main screen. Zero walked up next to him.
"You didn't tell him the other reason why we had the meeting." Zero commented.
"Well I thought it would be best not to have him worry. When he's back on duty we can tell him." Signis answered. Zero nodded and looked back at the screen.
