Chapter 7: Problems
"Axl!!! Come here!!!" Zero shouted, Axl ran down quickly to the court yard, "Yeah?" Zero quickly pulled out his paper fan and smacked him on the head, "What was that for?!" Zero smacked him again, "What were you doing with treble? Do you know how dangerous that dog is when he's without his owner!!" Axl bowed and muttered his sorry, "I didn't know! Sorry!" he bowed repeatedly, "Who was the owner? Was it Bass?" Zero smacked him again, "That's my older brother!!!" Axl raised an eyebrow, "Huh?! That kid!!" Zero smacked Axl again, "Fool! That was his usual form!!!" X then interrupted, "Come on you two, stop it! We need to train Axl." X took Zero's paper fan and walked into the battle simulator, "Go inside Axl, X and Zero will be here soon." Alia said and Axl entered the simulator and as he entered the door closed and Alia set it to battle simulation level 3, "Alia!!! Let me out!!!" Alia shook her head, "Sorry Axl I pressed the wrong button…" then a maverick simulation appeared and Axl fought with it using the gun combo he formed earlier, "Damn it! Why can't these freaking mavericks just drop dead!!!" he shouted as he shot the delicate part of a maverick with a bullet, his request was now answered, he found the maverick's weakness.
After several hours in the battle simulator X and Zero came back to watch, "Well I think our new rookie is doing good." X nodded, "Agree. I think he's ready to face any maverick in reality." Then after the mid-boss level, Axl finally got out and fell down with exhaustion, "What training was that?! It felt like real to me!!!" X giggled, "That's what a simulation is like! Come on you've done well let's get some sleep." Axl shook his head, "No, I have something to do first." Axl walked out of the HQ and dashed away to his friend's house, Tyrone, when he got there he saw a note, "Dear Axl, sorry that you couldn't be here when we left, if your reading this note right now, we're now on our way to Beijing, We're really sorry about what had happened to you. Tyrone's father, Professor Wily." Axl was now slowly falling into a seat crying, holding the note in his hands, "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" that was the only words he said as he cried, he slowly walked towards the park, and he sat on the swing and continued to cry, a teenager in street clothes wearing a particular helmet crying on the swings in the dead of night, "Damn it! Why?! Why me?! Damn it! Why can't this fate of mine end!!! Damn it!" he said repeatedly, a mugger crept up behind him, "Come on! Give me all your money!" Axl looked at the guy, "Damn it! You caught me in the wrong time bud! You don't want me in this mood." The mugger just laughed, "Yeah right! And what are you gonna do? Kick my ass? Let me see you do it freak!" Axl now got totally pissed of not like any other person, he aimed his pistol at point blank range at the mugger, "What did you say to me?!" the mugger now sweat like crazy, "Nothing man! Take it easy!" then the mugger ran away with terror in his eyes, "Hmmph! They can't seem to get me in the right mood to be terrified." X and Zero were now very nervous cause Axl hadn't returned home to them in 12 hours, "Where is that damn rookie!!!" X said, "If that kid doesn't come here in the next two hours I'm gonna wring his neck!" Zero said menacingly, the runt was cut short by a fierce knock on their room door, "Who is it?" a brief trembling kind of voice answered, "It's me guys, Axl." They opened the door and saw him crying clutching his pistol tightly in his right hand, "What happened?!" Axl just continued to cry, "They left me! My friend left me! My family is dead! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I can't stand it anymore!! Everybody I love leaves me just to hurt me even more!!! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" he continued crying, and fired wildly at the floor, "Poor rookie!" A hunter said peeking through the door, "Pity!" Alia arrived at the scene where the gunshot was heard, "What's happening here?!" she said and peeked through the door just to see Axl curled up in a ball crying on his bed, "AXL! What happened?!" she rushed in and sat on his bed trying to comfort him, But Axl just curled up even tighter into a ball to ignore her words, "Come on Axl, tell me what had exactly happened. You can tell me anything. I promise I won't tell anybody." Axl loosened his curl and slowly sat up wiping the tears in his eyes, Alia hugged the hunter and patted his back, "Don't worry Axl you won't be left alone anymore, you won't be left alone. We promise." Axl now slowly stopped crying, "Come on, let's go to the cafeteria and have some ice cream." Axl looked at Alia, "What's Ice cream?" Alia blinked and tilted her head, "You mean you haven't tasted or eaten ice cream before?!" Axl nodded and flushed with shyness, "Yes" Alia laughed and smiled and dragged him to the cafeteria, when they arrived they saw two vacant seats at the center of the cafeteria with no one there seating, "You, wait here for me I'll just get us some ice cream." Axl nodded and sat down pulling out his pistol and continued on upgrading it, Alia came back with two bowls of ice cream, "Here you go Axl, it's my treat." Axl smiled and said thank you to her silently, "Eat up and enjoy." Axl nodded and took the spoon and took a large spoonful of ice cream, "Oww! My head hurts!" Alia laughed, "Hahaha…that's what you get when you eat ice cream fast, you'll get brain freeze." Axl smiled and laughed along with her, "So…Axl, why were you crying?" Axl stopped laughing and went serious on her, "Everyone I love, my sister, my creator, my friend. They all left me. Nobody I love stays forever." Alia went over to him and hugged him, "Don't worry, you won't be alone anymore." Axl hugged her back and they both continued eating ice cream, "Hey rookie!" Axl looked at the person who called him, "Yeah?" the person walked over to him, "I heard you don't have a buster system and saber maneuver system, is that true?" Axl looked at Alia, "Just tell him the truth, it doesn't matter what is the result." Axl nodded, "Yup all that you've said now is true and I'm proud about it." The hunter was just smiling, "Its nice meeting a hunter who doesn't have a buster system or saber maneuvers." Axl nodded and the hunter walked away, "See, you don't have to be afraid.
