Mega Man X: Admissions
Chapter 23
(Season 3)
"X, come on! We gotta get going soon, you to Alia."
X nodded to Zero and finished packing the supplies. X thought back 2 hours to his talk with Alia on the roof as he stood and admired their packing job. A MASU (Moblie Area Scanning Unit) sat packed to the brim with equipment. X looked at Zero and smiled. Zero laughed and smiled as well.
"You two are so proud of your packing aren't you?" Alia said, shaking her head slightly. "And I bet your proud of the fact that we don't need half this stuff. Really now, 678 rolls of Duck Tape? That's crazy."
"Hey, don't diss the tape." X replied.
"Yeah, 10,000,000 uses and counting." Zero added, a smirk on his face.
Alia shook her head and smiled. "Ok, anyway, lets go over the plan. Were going to-"
"Arrive at the Lab at 1200 hours, set up base camp by 0100, and begin exploration right after." X interrupted.
"Then, after exploring the lab, we begin a search for Limit using any information." Zero added helpfully. "We've been over the schedule two hundred thirty-two times. We got it, really!"
"Fine, then lets get going." Alia said as she stepped onto the pad next to the MASU. X and Zero grinned as they joined her.
"First time?" X asked her mockingly.
Alia nodded slowly.
"Well then, Zero, how about you tell her how it works." X suggested, still smiling.
"Oh, well, that's very simple. It breaks down all your particles into the base forms, then throws them at tremendous speeds into space where they bounce off multiple satellites before finally reentering the Earth's atmosphere and being reformed on the ground. Its a lot of fun." Zero said, the smirk on his face growing.
Alia's face was frozen in horror as she ran through what Zero had just said twice.
"3 seconds." Called the operator.
"LET ME OFF!" Alia yelled, making a jump to get off the pad. Right as she left the ground the teleportation sequence started, breaking particles, sending particles into orbit, bouncing particles around, and reforming particles in a fraction of a second. Alia now found herself falling face first into a mud puddle, if it hadn't been for the quick hand of X.
"YOU JERKS!" Alia yelled, pummeling her fists onto X. "You knew that was my first time, why did you have to scare me like that?!"
Zero laughed as he started to unpack the MASU. "Oh come on Alia, it wasn't that bad. Really, your getting upset about nothing."
"Yeah, I do it all the time and I'm fine." X said, moving to Alia's side. "No reason to get upset. Now lets get camp up."
Within an hour the camp was set up.
"Now, lets get ready, we don't want to break schedule do we?" Zero joked.
"Ha ha." Alia replied. "Lets just get going, the lab is about 10 minutes walk from here."
X nodded and began walking, the smile slowly fading off his face. Within the ten minutes through the thick jungle X's mood had done a complete 180. As they approached the lab entrance Alia looked around. The entrance, a rather large hole in the ground, was surrounded completely by forest. The tall trees carpeted the area blocking out the sun, the smell of cedar was strong in the air. Alia looked down the hole into the darkness. Her sensors reported a 15 foot drop to the floor of the compound. X took a deep breath and hopped in. A large clang was heard as X hit the bottem. Zero got ready to jump, but was stopped by Alia's arm.
"Zero, do you know why X got all quiet like this? The only time he ever does this is when he goes to face Sigma." Alia asked, a concerned look on her face.
"This is his first time to the lab since he was reactivated." Zero said before jumping.
Alia stood for a second, thinking about X, before jumping into the abyss.
