Origin One- *Snore*
Ushi Sama- hey everyone, we gotta be REALLY quiet right now. Origin's recently been losing sleep to update this story, which isn't good. Going to sleep at 2 and waking up at 6:30 doesn't work real well.
Origin One- *SNORE*
Ushi Sama- So you should all feel special that he sacrifices his health for this. He's normally way to lazy to do that.
Origin One- *snort* huh wa?
Ushi Sama- Nothing Origin, go back to bed you lazy bastard. And you all out there, enjoy this chapter!

X checked his internal clock. "Two days," X said to himself under the hum of the grav cycle, "Two days since I left HQ." X knew why he left. His divisions men were either in trouble or already dead. Either way he planned on killing whoever was responsible, but something was different. For some reason X was looking forward to killing the person, something that even he hated to do when blinded by rage. It disturbed X, he hated violence, he completely loathed it.
"Bleep!" sounded his headset, for the umpteenth time. X ignored it. He knew who it was and why. Since he had left Signis and the others had been constantly trying to reach him. He had even once made the mistake of answering only to receive a headset full of screaming. At that point, he decided never to answer it again. He was sure that eventually they would try to teleport him back, which X had planned for. He had plenty of time and experience in setting up a short-term anti-teleportation using only his grav cycle. It was messy but it worked. He checked the coordinates, "Good, only a bit farther." X muttered to himself. Looking up he saw a dense jungle on the horizon.
Zero slammed his fist on the communications desk he was using, startling the entire room. He noticed that all the eyes had fallen on him. "WHAT!?" he yelled, causing all the staring eyes to return to there own work. Zero turned back to the council. "Again you don't respond X, what's going through your head?" Zero said under his breath.
Alia stared blankly at her navigation screen. Everything seemed so wrong. X had run off to fight a battle he that would most likely kill him and she could do nothing but sit. She wished that she could locate X, but he had deactivated his tracking beacon.
"ALIA!" A voice shouted through her headset. Alia immediately snapped back to her senses. She remembered what she was doing, which was trying to help the 9th division with there mission.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was.. um, checking the area for-"
"Alia, don't try and fool me." Replied the voice, cutting Alia's excuse short. "I heard about X. I've already requested that a different spotter take your place until your ready for duty."
Alia felt hurt, she was the top spotter in the hunters. She knew that the request had been made so she could get a hold of herself, but still. "And what did Signis say?" Alia asked.
"He said that he'd have a replacement there within the hour." Replied the voice. "Oh, and Alia."
"Yes?" Alia responded.
"Don't get X wrong. He knows what he's doing even if he does it like this. He'll come back to you, don't worry. Aidion out."
Alia couldn't help but smile at the faith people had in X.
Signis sat in his private office. He couldn't believe that Zero had let X get away. It was horrible. Not only was the 17th's private bay door badly damaged, but they had no clue where their star hunter had run off to. Not only that but Alia, Signis thought to himself, but now Alia can't even do her job properly! "This is getting out of hand." Signis said out load to his office. He quickly summoned Zero to his office.
Zero quick made his way to Signis's office. Stepping in to the office he saw Signis's chair turned around as to hide him. "You called sir?"
Signis turned around in his chair. "Yes, I did. The recent happenings have sent the base into an uproar. We have a gaping hole in the building, we don't know where X is, and Alia can't do her job, and those are just some of the problems."
"What else sir?" Zero inquired.
"We have been losing contact with division after division. The ones that DO return are clogging up the infirmary. We have to take action. Zero, I'm mobilizing your unit."
Zero nodded. "Right, what's our target?"
"Not YOUR target Zero," Signis said, "their target. They are going to find out what happened to the 7th division. Meanwhile, I'm authorizing you to find X and bring him back."
Zero nodded. "Understood, but wont this be a hazard to the base? My unit is the only standing force left in the base. With out them were nearly defenseless."
"I know that Zero, that's why you have to bring X back stat. I'm only clearing your unit for a 2 day search anyway."
"Right, well then I'm off." Zero said, turning for the door.
"Zero, wait, there's one last thing." Signis said.
Zero turned around. "Yeah?"
"Go see if you can snap Alia out of her depression."
Zero nodded. "Understood." He said as he closed the door.
