Begin Chapter
Origin One- Ahhhh, a new disk, a new hard copy. Well, after the disk
incident I decided
to back everything up a few times. Anyway, welcome to the 10th chapter extravaganza. This chapter wont be any different, but saying extravaganza after it makes it sound a hell of a lot cooler. Oh, and I do know that Irregular Hunters is the Japanese counter part of the Maverick Hunters but I decided that it would be cooler if they had changed the name to Maverick Hunters after Dr. Cain had died. SO NO FLAMING ON THAT PART!
Ushi-Sama- Ok, your done talking. Ok folks, enjoy the chapter!
It had been a week since the grav cycle incident and X was back in Alia's good graces. He had still been having weird dreams but none like the ones he had been having the few nights after their first date. He was very happy today though. He was finely getting back to duty and would finely know what was going on. Alia had refused to tell him anything about what was happening. Signis and the others also refused to say anything, but now they would have to tell him. He WAS the leader of the 17th division after all. He had gotten up early for his first day back and was already in the command room waiting when the other had just started to wake up. "Well, I guess I should check the computer for any information" X said to himself. He walked up to a computer terminal and turned it on.
"Please enter voice recognition code." The computer spat at him.
"Irregular Hunter Megaman X, 17th division." X said.
"Access code recognized. Welcome back." The computer replied. X smiled, he still liked the old name of the hunters before Dr. Cain's death. He looked at the screen that had popped up as a result of the voice check. It had all the latest news from his squadron along with all the mission assignments and notes. He looked through the notes of most of his squadron, "Huh," X said out loud, "there really isn't anything going on besides the Maverick clean up." He took one last look at the list of assignments. "Nothing out of the ordinary. wait a tick." X looked at an assignment he had previously overlooked. It read 'Look into base threat.' X quickly accessed the file and looked over its content and soon a frown grew over his face.
Alia yawned as she finished combing her hair. She quickly put it into a bun before leaving her bathroom. She knew it was X's first day back and had wanted to walk to the command room with him. She took one last look around the room to make sure everything was in its place before walking out. She walked through the halls toward X's room, glad she would be able explain to him what was going on. Upon arriving she knocked on the door. After not receiving an answer she opened the door slowly.
"X?" Alia said quietly as she entered. She looked around. Nothing had moved since the last time she had been in the room. Taking a quick look around she realized X wasn't in the room. He must have already gone to the command center Alia thought as she exited the room.
"Ah Alia, is X in there?" a voice said from Alia's side.
Alia glanced to the side to see Signis. "No, he probably left a while ago. Knowing X he's been there for at least an hour."
Signis sighed. "I should have figured. That boy never sleeps."
Alia laughed and the two started toward the command center.
X waited for Ali and the other to arrive. He was getting more impatient by the minute, and reading the notes on his units missions hadn't helped. He had known something was up by the commotion but had never expected this. He glanced again at the door as Alia and Signis walked in. Signis looked at him and smiled.
"Ah X, good to see you're ready." He said.
"Forget about me being ready. Why didn't you tell me!" X said, glaring at Signis.
"What?" Signis replied, obviously confused. "What are you talking about?"
"You know damn well what I'm talking about. Last week there was a threat on the base." Spat X.
"Oh, that." Signis said nodding slightly. "That was taken care of. We easily tracked it and sent some of the 17th and 8th divisions to take out the threat."
"Yeah, and only 2 of the 12 member team made it out alive." X said, scowling.
Alia gasped and her eyes widened. Signis dashed to the nearest terminal and logged in. He checked the status of the mission, reading through the notes as fast as he could. "Theres no way.." Signis gasped.
Alia quickly join him and read the notes aloud. "From the log of Capt. J. Erk. 'Our force had been scouting the area, staying within close proximity of each other. We had found signs that this was defiantly the place where we had received the call. The most prominent being the reploid that had sent it. Lt. Cage had taken the responsibility to inform the reploid of his arrest. As Cage approached the reploid he was met with deadly resistance. Seeing this we engaged the mysterious reploid. It was over before it even started. Within a matter of minutes I was the only remaining member of the original 12 man group. Though I couldn't see his face he told me to send this message to Commander X. He says "Your next." Capt. Erk out."
Signis was in disbelief. Alia stood up and turned to X. X glared at her. "I'm so sorry." Alia started.
X cut her off. "No, I'm sorry. Sorry for all the poor men who died in that fight. Sorry for all the pain that Capt. Erk must be feeling. And I'm sorry that I couldn't be trusted with the information before now." With that he turned and headed out the door.
"X, wait!" Alia said as she started to run out the door.
"Alia stop." Signis said. "He's right, we should have told him. Because of my misjudgment X lost many friends to whoever this reploid is."
Alia frowned. It's true that Signis had ordered that this be kept a secret from X until he was on duty, but it was her that refused to tell him throughout the week. If I had just told X she said then those reploids might still be alive. Just then Zero walked in.
"I just saw X take off down the hall." He said, motioning the direction with his hands. "What happened?"
Signis showed Zero the report and Zero suddenly realized why X was mad. "Great. I told you we should have told him." Zero said, looking at Signis. He then glanced over at Alia. "Well, what are you waiting for? Go give X some comfort and explain to him why we didn't tell him. We don't want him thinking something crazy like that we didn't trust him."
Alia nodded and took off down the hall after X. Zero then looked at Signis. "This could get worse. If that figure was a Maverick then."
Signis finished his sentence "Then we could have a new Maverick out brake. And so soon after the last one."
Zero nodded and looked again through the report.
