Origin One- OK everyone, I'm SO sorry I didn't have this updated for you
last night. I hadn't had access to a computer all weekend. I was going to
update this at around midnight last night but I got caught up in some
serious Star Craft. Oh, if any of you play Star Craft my Battle.net name
is Simmons101.
Ushi-Sama- I've also convinced Origin here to go for 175 pages before the end of the month because its National Novel Writing Month. For information goto nanowrimo.org.

"Alia?" Zero said, walking into the navigation room. After receiving no answer he quickly looked around the room, but couldn't find Alia. "Hmmm, she must be off already." He said, switching to his headset, "Alia, you there? This is Zero, come in." It soon became obvious that Alia wasn't there after a period of static. Zero walked out of the navigation room. Where could she have gone, he thought, maybe her room? With that he started to the living sections.
Zero knocked on Alia's door, "Alia, hope your not naked cause I'm coming in!" he said, opening the door. He walked in and quickly looked around. "Huh, no Alia here. Maybe X's bedroom, or the Comm center."
After more frivolous tries Zero found himself back in the navigation room. Arg, I've looked everywhere, he thought to himself, the nav room, the comm room, her and X's rooms. "I give up!" he yelled to the room, causing a few spotters to glance his way briefly. Noticing the eyes he had brought his way he quickly left the room. "There has got to be somewhere I haven't looked." He said to himself, "Maybe."
The elevator made its final ding as Zero reached the roof of the compound. He glanced around quickly. "There she is." Zero said, spotting her the corner of the building. He walked over and stood beside her. "Hey." He said, looking off into the distance.
Alia looked up at him. "Oh, hi Zero."
"Listen, Alia, you know X will be fine. He's faced Sigma more times then anyone else, even me." Zero said calmly.
Alia nodded, "Yeah, just now. something's different about him. I don't know how to explain it."
"I've noticed that to." Responded Zero, "He does seem different, he doesn't seem to mind violence like he did before. I never thought it would be X who put all those people in the vehicle bay into the infirmary."
"But its not just that," replied Alia, "it seems like he hasn't been able to fully concentrate and I think it might be my fault."
Zero looked at her, "Why is that?"
"Well, X hasn't ever had anyone he cared for like me right?" Alia asked.
"No, why?"
"Well, it's just that, I thought maybe he couldn't concentrate because of me." Alia explained
Zero laughed, "Knowing X, I wouldn't doubt it. But you don't have to worry about anything. Signis gave me permission to bring X home."
Alia looked up at Zero, "Really?"
Zero nodded. "Yeah, but I'll need you to do something."
"And that would be?"
"I need you to snap out of this mood. All you've been thinking about since X left has been him. He's not the only hunter that might need help. If this is a trap set by the mavericks then the other hunters would need all the help they could get out there."
Alia laughed, "Yeah, your right."
Zero turned around and walked toward the elevator. "And don't worry about anything, I'll bring X back."
Alia smiled. "I know you will."
Zero left the roof and headed for the teleportation room. Upon arrival Zero quickly drew the coordinates up from his memory. "You there, at the control panel, how fast can you have this ready?" Zero said to the small reploid.
The reploid looked up and toward Zero. "I have a name you know."
"Fine. Lucas, how fast can you have the teleporter ready for the coordinates 36 degrees longitude and 130 degrees latitude?"
Lucas looked back down at his panel, "I guess I could have it ready to go in a few minutes."
"Good, make it so."
Lucas nodded and started the prep work. Within a few minutes Zero was standing on one of the 6-teleporter pads. Zero always hated teleporting after Dr. Cain had explained how it worked to him. It was almost as if every time Zero got ready to teleport he could here Dr. Cain explaining the process to him.
"You see Zero, the teleporter is doing nothing more then completely disassembling you into your base atoms. From there it encases your atoms in an energy barrier and shoots that energy into space to one of our many satellites. Those satellites then redirect the energy beam to where ever the place your going is. When you hit the ground your atoms reassemble you exactly as you were when you teleported. But don't worry, none of this hurts, as long as you don't hit a jamming field, then it hurts like the dickens at it forcefully reassembles you from what I hear. But the chances of that happening are, well, not very good at all."
Zero shook his head. He hated that dead man as much a he respected him.
"You ready Zero?" Lucas asked.
Zero nodded. With that Lucas hit a few more buttons and Zero was off. It seemed like it was over before it had begun. Zero was glad when he hit the solid ground of what looked like an ancient temple. He looked around in wonder of the huge stone monoliths that were all around him, until he noticed the bodies of slain hunters that hung from a few.
"Ah, Zero. You've arrived, and before X. I must say I'm impressed." A deep voice from behind him said. Zero spun around to see a red armored reploid standing with a buster pointed at Zero. "But don't worry, X will be here soon enough." The reploid said, lowering his buster. "Until then just make yourself at home, because you could be staying a while."
