Mega Man X: Admissions
Alia hated the holo trainers. The room itself was not to appealing, until the holograms went on, and she didn't even want to think about what a battlefield cluttered with dead soldiers would look like at this range. The closest she had ever been to a real battlefield is through X's eyes from the safety of the base. The holo trainer room was about the length of 3 football fields, and about as wide, but metal shutters could descend from the ceiling to split the room up. At the current time Alia, X, and Zero where in a room only about the size of a swimming pool (25 yard short course pool to be exact) and were waiting for the simulation to start. "Ok, here is the basic idea of this simulation." X said, turning to Alia, "A group of people are going to appear on that side of the room, our job is to shot them and not be shot by them. The best places to hit are the chest or head, for a kill shot, and the legs, to incapacitate the attack."
"In other words, shot at anything that moves that's not X and I." Zero said, pulling out his saber and turning it on.
"5 seconds!" A voice called from somewhere beyond the room. A faint buzz started and the walls of the room started to glow. Trees and boulders started to form out of mid air, as if by magic, and solidify. X activated his buster and started his targeting protocal. Zero picked out the most likely positions of attack and prepared to move in. Alia stood still like a scared rabbit. "GO!" Called the voice, followed quickly by a burst of shots from a groups of trees.
The shots streaked past Alia and collided where X and been not a moment earlier. Already X was returning fire with stunning results as Zero moved in close for some quick kills. Alia screamed as a shot grazed her cheek. She raised her buster and unloaded in the direction of the shot, destroying 3 trees, a boulder, and forming a large dent in the metal wall. "DIE!" yelled a voice behind Alia, right before being silenced by X who had spotted the hologram earlier.
"Don't just stand there Alia, shoot something!" X and Zero yelled.
Alia nodded and started shooting into the trees where the initail shots had come from. Soon another shot streaked by Alia but from the opposite direction. She turned and fired before diving for cover. X dived next to her and smiled. "Good shooting, you got the last one." He said as the holograms started to disappear.
"Final score!" rang the voice from beyond the room, "Zero, 9. X, 10. Alia, 2"
X laughed. "Got you this round Zero." He said tauntingly.
"Save your breath, I'll win next time." Zero replied, sheathing his saber. Alia breathed a sigh of relief and then proceeded to find a way out.
"Where you going Alia?" X called.
"That's all for me, I learned to shot a buster and that's good enough for me!" She said, exiting the room.
"Suit yourself Alia, Zero and I will be out in a few hours, have fun hun." X said, hoping that Alia heard him.
Alia sighed, she was happy to be out of that god-forsaken room. She was happy not to have to shot anything else, and was happy to have some time to herself. She decided that the best place she could go to get away for awhile was the former mess hall. She took the 10 minute walk down to what was once the bases mess hall, but was now just a large empty room with tables. She had never actually been down to the old room since it was moved, but she figured that it was a nice quite place. As she opened the door to the mess hall she saw that many other people thought the same thing she did. A group of about 15 hunters had gathered there and were using the old hall as a poker hall. As Alia entered the room her sensors picked up the heavy sent of alcohol. The crowed looked up in surprise at the entrance of another person. Alia looked around for a friendly face, but didn't see one. Most of the hunters went back to their games, ignoring the new comer completely, but a few younger and obviously drunk male hunters got up to greet her.
"Hey their sweet thing." Said a tall, blue clad hunter.
"Don't talk to her like that!" Said a shorter reploid in white armor, "She's a commanding officer!"
"She can command me anytime." Said another short reploid. This caused great laughter throughout the group surrounding her. Alia decided it would be a good time to leave and turned towards the door.
"Hey," said the tall blue clad reploid as he grabbed Alia's hand, "where you off to in such a hurry. Stay awhile.!"
Alia shook his hand off. "Let go of me you pompous ass!" she said as she turned from him. The other reploids in the group made a circle around her, preventing her escape.
"I don't think you understand," said the blue clad reploid, "This is our part of the base, and by stepping into it you became OUR property."
Alia squirmed as the reploid grabbed her. "So why not give us a kiss huh?"
Just then Alia fired a shot into the foot of the reploid.
"YOW!" shouted the reploid as Alia raised her buster. The hall went silent as Alia pointed the barrel at point blank into the reploid's face.
"Now, I don't know a lot about buster warfare, but I do know that at this range I could blow just about any limb off, so unless you want to end up in a hospital bed with a court marshal for assaulting a superior officer and running a poker joint inside a military base, I suggest all of you leave." Alia said, her voice switching to superior officer mode.
All the reploids just kinda looked at each other before climbing to their feet and heading for the door. Soon Alia was alone in the room. She smiled and found a seat by a window. About 2 hours later X and Zero walked into the room.
"Hey." X called. Alia turned around and smiled.
"How did you guys find me?" Alia asked.
"Some drunk told us that a crazy female bot just up and shot him in the foot in the mess hall. We figured it was you." Zero said. "Looks like someone was having quite a party in here."
Alia laughed. "Yeah well, that's all in the past. Oh, and X?" Alia said, standing up.
"Yeah?" X called from the door.
"If you ever get drunk, I'll fucking kill you." Alia said as they left the room.
