Short bio: Was
created in the mid of a large battle at his base, he was SUPPOSED to
be the new generation of fighter robots, able to handle all kinds of
weaponry and practically unstoppable, but during the battle he was
not finished yet, but scientists forced him to fight. Reaver's urge
for honor and righteiousness didn't hestitaded a moment to fight the
Mavericks. But was so blinded by the urge to protect the entire base,
he couldn't manage and thus the base was destroyed. Seeing his
scientists, which were his friends for life getting splattered all
over the place, he just dropped to the ground crying. The mavericks
didn't bother eradicating him, seeing how hopeless he was, and left
the ruins. Hours later, Reaver stood up, walked away, and was looking
for revenge. Although unfinished, and roughly equal to an average
reploid, his only goal is to make his creators proud...
Reaver was roaming the lands, unsure of what to do. The images of the defeat still haunt his mind, the scientists screaming and dying. Leaning on his steel pipe, the only thing he managed to get out of the ruins, he watched the horizon. He noticed a huge building, the Maverick Hunter HQ! He hesitates, what if he went there? Would they help him out? Or would they suspect him being Maverick? He is about to turn around to walk away when he remembers his promise, he would make his makers proud and avenge them. He takes his chances and heads for the HQ hoping they would help him out, giving him a decent weapon, maybe even a better armor. And ultimately, a chance to avenge his makers...
"Rookies Attention!" Shouted the commander,
instantly all the rookies complied.
"Now that the introductions
are done, it is time for the combat test. You will be given your
chosen weapon to display your proficiency. As a reminder, we only
take the best!"
30 minutes later
"Alright rookies, now that you have been tested for proficiency with weapons you will be fitted for your armors, they will be custom built and delivered to your quarters by tomorrow. Before anything let me go over the rules of staying in Maverick Hunter HQ."
1.) "No active
weapons in the halls, we don't want any mishaps," the commander
chuckled as he turned to see X and his friend Zero enter the room.
X's face turned a light red as the commander finished the
statement.
"Isn't that right X?" laughed the commander as
X's face turned a deeper red. Zero chuckled.
2.) Stay out of
other hunters personal belongings.
3.) The upper floors are
off-limits to rookies, anyone caught there without reason shall face
severe punishment."
"Sooo," Zero asked quietly as he
turned to the commander "What are this year's rookies like?"
"Can't
complain Zero, they're a step up from what we get every other
year."
The rookies faces lit up as the legendary maverick hunter
X walked over to them and began to converse with a few of the new
rookies, they were excitedly asking questions of X and all the things
he had done.
The commander turned from Zero and yelled, "Okay
rookies, that's enough for one day. You are excused. Feel free to
wander around hunter HQ or retire to your rooms, the top floors are
off limits to rookies though."
Lixi followed the crowd out the door. She had been one of the ones that X had talked to. He seemed nice, asked her about her home and such. As the crowd dispersed, she wondered what to do. Most people were going out side for some fresh air, but a few people were looking around the base. She walked around, saying hello to some people. She explored most of the levels they were allowed to, just generally taking in the bustling atmosphere.
Jet stops to talk with Zero and thanks
him for the recomendation to join the maverick hunters. He asks what
the had planned for the rookies next, but Zero reveals
nothing.
"That's Zero for you. Fine keep your secrets,"
mutters Jet. "Hey Zero, where's Tank at? I haven't seen him in
forever!"
"You can check the computer database over
there," Zero points, "Its got info on all of our
hunters."
Jet looks up Tank and sees that he is away on a
mission.
Jet shrugs, "I'll just take a walk and meet some
of the other rookies."
Lixi frowned. She had seen a
strange repliod walking towards the HQ. She watched him for a bit.
Anyone who wasnt supposed to go in there wouldn't just walk through
the front door in broad daylight, so she ignored him.
"Geez
am I bored," she thought to herself.
Then she saw another
reploid talking with Zero. She recognised him as a rookie! But then,
he walked passed her and disappeared into the crowd.
"Ack!"
She thought, "Lost him..." Sighing, she made her way
to the armoury. "Hope they won't mind me borrowing a bow and
some arrows. I think I might go train a bit... I'll find a friend
later."
Jet walks around the base. He sees a weapons
room and recharges all ammo.
"I should probably get ready
for my first assignment," Jet thought spying a training
room. "I don't know what it will be about but some training
couldn't hurt."
When Reaver finally makes it to the
entrance, a guard stops him asking why he is here. After explaining
his current situation, the guard lets him pass but warns him to
report to the head of HQ immedeatly. So Reaver heads to the command
center and requests for permission to stay in the HQ. After a long
discussion he finally gets what he wants, he is allowed to join the
hunters.
"You couldn't have come at a better time, we just
got some new rookies at the base so one more wouldn't be much of a
problem. We just consider you to be one of the new ones and
everything will be ok." The person smiles, gives a friendly
handshake and Reaver leaves the command center. Satisfied, he heads
to the armory in hopes to get a decent weapon...
(That night)
Sirens blared and in the dead of night, silence was
suddenly lifted,
"Code Red," the alarm screamed,
"Maverick attack, all hunters prepare for combat!"
Outside
the hunter base well over a hundred mavericks were attacking, leading
the front were the older mavericks who had been resurrected and
compared to the new reploids were weak and outdated. As the Hunters
scrambled to mount the counter attack mavericks infiltrated the HQ,
the sky was light up as the mavericks open fired upon the base
despite their comrades entry into the hunter HQ.
Signas, through
the comm system was heard yelling, "Hunters defeat the
mavericks!"
As night fell Jet was in the simulation room
laying waste to all the attacking enemies. The battles were
incredibly lifelike, the robot simulations are patterned after real
mavericks the hunters had faced before. After effortlessly destroying
wave after wave of foot soldiers, Jet decides to jack up the
difficulty. Upon re-entering the room he finds the grunts have now
been replaced with Vile clones. After getting his butt kicked, Jet
decides not to be so cocky and increases the difficulty a bit slower.
After the next round Jet sees that the next battle will be with
another rookie. As his opponent walks through the door the room
shakes. Jet startes to marvel once again at how realistic the battle
simulations are when the speaker blares out, "Maverick attack,
all hunters prepare for combat!" Jet looks at his opponent and
suggests they postpone their match and go take on some real
mavericks. After leaping through a window, they see that the building
truly was surrounded. Though it was reckless and stupid they decide
to charge and break enemy lines. Jet fires his jet boots and dodges
enemy fire. He ignites an odd lance that he "borrowed" from
the armory earlier and begins swooping down on the troops, slashing
and hacking with grim accuracy.
"Wow my first maverick,"
thinks Jet, "This is just like the simulation! I wish Tank
were here to see this!"
The other rookie wasn't doing too
bad either. She was currently surrounded by a group of soldiers but
Jet felt comfident that she could take care of themself. Even so, Jet
decided that it couldn't hurt to help and headed over. Suddenly a
beam of ice knocked Jet out of the air. Unfortunately ice happened to
be Jet's weakest element, (though he had a body chip which makes him
more resistant with every shot he survives.) Jet sits up to see the
maverick general of all the troops he had just destroyed. Jet
couldn't care less. He stands up, puts on a cocky grin and charges
the Elemental Cannon.
"Don't make me use my scorcher you
scum..."
Lixi wondered how she would get out of this one.
She was surrounded by mavericks. One jumped at her and she whacked it
away. She heared a shot and whirled around. The other rookie had been
hit by a blue beam. But he started moving, so she guessed he was
okay. She had to worry about herself... suddenly she had an idea. She
jumped and did a backflip, and landed on the shoulders of a
maverick.
"Eh!" It had time to say before she jumped
again and fired an arrow mid air, hitting it square between the
eyes.
"Lucky I did some training for a bit..."
She landed and started to run back towards the base, looking for a
good spot to snipe from."
Reaver ran through the
hallways, with his newly acquired scythe on his back. The alarms were
still going off.
"Crap, it must really be bad,"
he thinks. He heads off towards the entrance of the base, where some
mavericks already seemed to have entered, others were already at the
scene, trying to hold of the invading mavericks.
"Hehehe,
payback time," he thinks infuriated. He turns on the scythe,
a bloodred laserblade lights up, and a smaller sharp laser lights up
from the rear end. Filled with hatred and bloodlust, he dashes off
into the mavericks, while emiting a loud battlecry. He thinks to
himself, "I will not make the same mistake twice!"
Jet
lets loose a blast of fire. Jet had never used the flame scorcher
before and though it torched the maverick general beyond recognition
and incinerated his remaining troops it took up far too much
energy.
"Auto repair will kick in after awhile,"
he thinks "I can't do anything reckless until then."
Jet decides to head back to the building where he would only have to
defend from 3 sides. As he staggers over he notices the other rookie,
and that with her bow, she is more of a ranged fighter.
"I
can't do any more alone in this state," he thinks. Jet
shouts to the female rookie, "There will be time for
introductions later. For now I'm going to guard the back door. Want
to stand behind me and snipe?"
Lixi was annoyed. There
wasn't one good sniper spot from where she could see.
"There
will be time for introductions later. For now I'm going to guard the
back door. Want to stand behind me and snipe?" She turned. It
was the other rookie from before!
"Sure," she answered.
"Lead the way!" They made their way back towards the
building, Lixi sniped out most mavericks before they could even get
close to them. Jet couldn't help but admire her skill with the bow.
Finally they were at the building!
After reaching the building Jet hurried to the doorway. As mavericks tried to get inside Jet slashed, hacked and kicked away everything that got close enough. Every now and then the other rookie hunter would hold her bow over Jet's sholder and fire. They were doing very well but the mavericks just couldn't take a hint that they weren't getting in the back door. They kept coming...
Enraged, Reaver hacked through the platoon at the entrance. Slashing through the hordes of cannon fodder with his weapon, he took heavy damage, but it didn't seem to hold him back, the fire support from behind really had to watch where they were firing to avoid shooting Reaver. Emiting loud battle cries, some hunters were getting worried Reaver wouldn't turn maverick...
Reaver, still fighting the group, gets heavily
damaged, but continues in his rage. But due this enraged state, he
doesn't observe the other, stronger mavericks of the platoon. One of
the mavericks charged his fist, hitting Reaver full frontal in the
face. Reaver steps backward, dizzy from the blow. The maverick
continues his blows, and eventually uses a high kick to drop him on
the ground. The maverick chuckles, grabs him at his neck, and holds
him high above the group.
"Idiot..." the maverick says
to him, and throws him through the hallway, slamming him into the
wall behind the firesupport group.
Lixi was slowly getting
more and more annoyed.
"Is this what battles are like?
Geez they're repetitive!" she thought as she fired another
arrow. It hit a maverick in the chest, and it fell over. She reached
for another arrow... and didn't find one.
"Uh-oh," She
said.
"What!" yells Jet.
"I ran outta
arrows..." She kicked away a maverick. "I'm trying to
think! Ah. No other choice, I have to go to the armory. Wanna come
with?"
Reaver lay in the rubble of the wall.
"Ugh,
god... my hole body hurts... shouldn't be so reckless next time..."
he thinks. While lying there, he has time to calm down, coming back
to his senses, he realizes his entire body is heavily damaged, one of
his feet is paralyzed, and blood drips from his head. His scythe lies
next to him, he turns it of and uses it to get up. But without him,
the support unit has no frontal defenses and the maverick which
utterly defeated Reaver, now turns on the support group, soon to be
swarmed by the platoon of mavericks... Reaver looks around, looking
for a way to help out, considering he can't fight anymore... A
headset falls in front of him, probally from the commander of the
fire support team. He picks it up, and immedeatly tries to contact
the HQ. Not waiting for a reply, he yells as soon as he has contact:
"THE FRONT HAS BEEN BREACHED! SEND REINFORCEMENTS AS SOON AS YOU
CAN!" Reaver hangs up, moments later, a voice can be heard
over the intercom, asking for forces to move to the
entrance...
After the other hunter runs out of ammo Jet faces
a dilema. Does he protect her as she makes her way to the armory or
stay by the back door to make sure mavericks do breach the building.
Then he hears the intercom announcement, "THE FRONT HAS BEEN
BREACHED! SEND REINFORCEMENTS AS SOON AS YOU CAN!" Jet swears
under his breath and slams the ground creating a shockwave causing
the wall in front of the door to collapse.
"It'll take them
awhile to get through that," Jet tells his partner, "Lets
hurry to the armory and get you more ammo, then we've got to back up
the front enterance!"
Lixi was shifting through all the
arrows and bows in the armoury. Jet had given her great cover on the
way to the armory. Every maverick they met along the way was quickly
hacked into a heap of parts.
"You done yet!" he yelled
from the door.
"Hold your horsies! I'm looking for a better
bow! The one I have now is only a practice bow..."
"A
new bo- Oh come on! The one you have now is fine! We have to
hurry!"
"Ah-hah! I knew they had a good bow around
here somewhere!" Lixi thought grabbing a different bow from
near the back, and the bunch of arrows next to it. This quiver had
more arrows then the last one so she only grabbed the new
one.
"Done!" She said running out.
"Good. Now we
have to go help the others."
"Right!" She
answered. "Lets go!"
Reaver found refugee behind two
hallway turrets, where he kicked over a table and hid behind it while
shooting with a rifle he conveniently got from a dead guy. He
positioned the blade of the scythe so it functioned as a small
triplaser if the mavericks would get too close to him. But he knew
that he wouldn't last long in his state...
"Where the hell
are those reinforcements?" he thought impatiently.
As if to answer his question the hall was flooded with a torent of water. The inundation effectively destroys several mavericks and sweeps the remainder out the door. Jet looks at the other hunters, "This time we hold them. We stop them here!"
(Zero's
theme metalized)
A thunderous crack resounded in the area, the
battle stopped and all eyes turned toward the maverick hunter base.
The doors exploded off the hinges with the force that crushed a
maverick like a tin can. As the smoke cleared, X and Zero and a host
of elite hunters stood, all with weapons armed. The mavericks fought
on but with these new reinforcements, their end was swift and brutal.
All the rookies watched in awe as X, Zero and the elite hunters
slaughtered the mavericks.
As the mavericks were destroyed, the hunters gaped in awe at the blue blood which covered the ground where the mavericks fell. The hunters carefully collected this strange substance to be analyzed.
X called everyone to the
command room, standing before the crowd, he began, "Well, it
looks like we fended off the attack but the base sustained heavy
internal damage, so for now we'll be moving to the Infinity
space station. So for now pack up your stuff and the hypershutle will
deliver you to the station." After X finished, the hunters
gabbed their things and boarded the ship, within the hour they were
standing in the space station Infinity.
Over the comm they
heard, "Welcome hunters, please make yourselves at home in our
advanced facilities, our training room is open and the stores have
supplies for you, the rooms will be assigned shortly, but if you need
a nap the lounge has some couches for sleep. Please enjoy your
stay."
