It was a starry night in neo America, and the full moon hung brilliantly in the sky. There was a subtle breeze and the leaves flowed along the ground as if they were angels floating on the clouds. The quiet streets were only flooded with the sounds of footsteps of a girl. Her golden blonde hair flowed softly in the breeze, her arms swaying at her sides, her eyes glistening in the moonlight. As she walked she sighed and contemplated events of the past in her head. Knowing she was alone, she could speak her thoughts without fear of insult. "Why did all of it have to happen…? I mean I'm successful now, I have a strong income, but I mean why did all of that have to happen to me? That horrible inhuman bastard! He put us all through so much, and I'm just glad he's dead! But- I guess I should just let that die." Walking by a bench that catches her eye, she stoped for but a moment and then sat down, pushing her long hair back behind her shoulders and burying her head in her hands. Slowly, her tears built up and the tears began to stream down her face as if they were a cascading waterfull on their own, the sound easily heard over a great distance. Soon the soft clank of heavy metal footsteps could be heard off in the distance.
A very round and short, but clean looking robot walked down a street in Neo America, his body heavy and green and yellow over most of it, one arm appeared to be some sort of welding tool, while the other was like any other. As he walked along he heard the sobs of a woman, and he quickly rushed to where it was coming from. Looking down upon the woman he placed his hand upon her shoulder, his hand draping off of her at one point. In a deep and concerned voice, and after a long pause, he spoke. "Uhm miss" he said quite reluctantly "are you going to be alright!"
Without looking up she wiped her tears away, but that didn't accomplish much for they just started to roll down in a steady stream again. "I-I'm fine" she said, obviously lying "its just that damned old man and what he did to me a long time ago… but your just a robot, you wouldn't understand…"
Without missing a beat, the robot spoke again. "You'd be surprised miss, I've been through quite a lot myself, and I've kept it locked up all of these years… do you have any idea how hard that is!"
"Yeah, I do" she said, as she started to look up "and it's been haunting me for…" she cut herself off as soon as she saw who was standing before her, it was someone she had not seen for a very long time. Without even a second thought she burst from the bench and wrapped her arms around what she could of the robot and held on tightly to him, her tears of sorrow soon turned to tears of joy and the robot, not knowing what else to do, wrapped his arms around her. "It's you!" she exclaimed "it's actually you… I can't believe that I found you after all of these years…"
The robot blinked a few times and then, realizing who he held at the moment, blurted out "Kalinka!"
Her tears finally quit and she let out a heavy sigh. After a long pause she spoke one word, and one word only "Auto…"
Back at hunter base X was laying down in one of the sleeping pods and Alia was right at his side watching over him. Down the hall came the small steps from Pallate as she made her way into the sick bay of MHHQ, wondering just what was going on at the time. Her pace sped up as soon as her eyes fell upon Alia and she was soon at her side. "Alia, what's going on!" she blurted out in a concerned rush.
"It-it's nothing…" Alia said, her voice trailing off and very weak.
"It's not nothing!" Pallate exclaimed as she lunged forward to rest her hand on Alia's shoulder. "There's something wrong here and your just not telling me, so out with it Alia! A girls got to know these things y'know!"
Alia threw Pallate's hand away and turned, tears streaking down her face "he almost died!" She exclaimed "he almost died and I couldn't do a damned thing about it! Do you have any idea how hard that is Pallate, do you! Do you know how hard it is to loose someone you love and not even be able to help!" Pallate just stared at her blankly, unable to say anything. Alia threw herself onto Pallate, crying her heart out, and all that Pallate could think to do was hold her there lovingly. Just then the base's alarm system started to blare and Pallate jerked her head up.
"For the love of god, why can't a girl get a clue as to what goes on around here?"
"We've just gotten a very strong maverick reading coming from point x of moonlight city, located in the western most area of NE" came the voice of another female, this one seemed to be a strong one.
Pallate turned and let her arms drop from Alia, and Alia turned as well. "Layer!" they exclaimed in unison, enthralled to see her after such a long time of being away, even if they are still stationed together.
"What's X's condition right now?" she said in a stern voice as Alia stepped forward, wiping the tears from her cheeks.
"He was hit hard by that scum Vile, and he was in critical. But now he's recovering, he should be at nominal strength in a day."
"In that case…" Layer said and turned away, placing her hand on the hilt of her saber. "In that case I'm going out; you two give me coverage from base." Pallate ran up to Layers side, shock overpowering her emotions.
"What! You can't head out into the battle field" she said "your role here is to—"
"I'm going, and that's final!" and with that, Layer teleported out of the base.
Pallate turned to Alia and smiled broadly, placing her hands at her hips while Alia just cocked her head a little bit as she gaze on to the bubbly little navigator. "She really is perfect for Zero" she said in a upbeat tone "isn't she?"
