Mega Man X Vendetta
Chapter 11
Wounded
"X! I have detected a powerful energy surge from space! It is headed for the earth! The energy emission is staggering! If that hits us then there won't be much left of this planet! Impact in twenty seconds! Take cover!" Alia cried from the Navigation room.
Later
"This is X; sound off."
"This is Zero, Iris is here beside me. She is a little shaken up but is fine."
"This is Gate, The research lab is just fine. Doppler has already started working again…"
"This is Palette, Layer is out cold but she is alive and should wake in a few hours. I'm okay."
"Hey guys, this is Axl, I am alive and okay except for… Could someone please move this junk off of me?"
"Looks like Blitzkrieg lives to fight another day… This is Omega and I came to check up on the group. I will get this junk off of your comrade X."
"Thanks Omega."
"Alia? Please report."
The silence was oppressive. X could feel that she was in trouble.
"Attention; all personnel; if you are wounded then please go to the medical center ASAP, all repair personnel report to medical as well. Navigators who can respond begin to asses the damage to our staff and report injured people to the Medical center."
X then whispered quietly "Alia…"
He sprinted to the Navigation Center.

Moments Later
"I know she is in here… Alia can you hear me?" X called out in a loud voice.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Alia------ou hea---me?" came to her. She was covered by debris and she knew that she was severely wounded.
"X…?" She called out, however, it only came out as a whisper.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
He heard a muffled sound and he knew in his heart that it was Alia.
"Hang on! I will find you!"
X began to dig through the debris. It felt like an eternity. However, in a matter of minutes he had uncovered her right hand and with his left hand he grabbed hold of hers.
"I'm here Alia. Don't give up."
Moments later he was pulling her out of the rubble. She was covered in grey dirt from head to toe. However, that was the least of his concerns. She had been hit by shrapnel and it had penetrated her armor. She was in dire need of medical attention. An occasional shower of sparks flew from her neck. A steel rod had gone through the left corner of her neck and had wedged itself inside her flesh.
"Alia listen, you have taken severe damage and to survive you need to follow these directions. Don't shut down! Because if you do there is a major possibility right now that your circuits may overload. It also means that you will have to go through the initial part of repair awake. But, Alia I will be there with you. You have helped me in times of need. Now it's my turn."
Alia smiled faintly at him.
"I didn't realize that you knew about repair work."
"I first learned when I became a Hunter. I wanted to save anyone I could and that meant learning how to mend Reploid's- Field Repair. I always keep a field kit on hand."
With that he began to stabilize her…

One Hour Later
"Gate this is X. I need you to run down to medical and get a stretcher."
"Oh?"
"Alia has been wounded. I have just stabilized her enough that we can move her. Get it as quickly as possible. We are in the Navigation room."
"Sure thing."
Gate cut the transmission and sprung from his chair.
"Where you headed in such a hurry?" Dr. Doppler asked curiously.
Ignoring the question, Gate sprinted from the room. He turned the corner and opened the door to the Medical center.
"Where are the stretchers?" Gate demanded of everyone upon entry.
The medic looked at Gate for a moment and spoke.
"Now Dr. Gate-" Gate winced at the 'Dr.' "Just barging in and demanding equipment when there is a major crisis-"
"That is why I am here you idiot! A navigator was severely wounded and X is trying to keep her alive!"
"Ah… Right then, sorry sir. Hey Salden! Get an emergency restabilization kit and follow Dr. Gate"
"Thanks, but just one thing; don't call me Dr. Gate. Gate will do." Gate said to the medic as Salden approached with the stretcher and the supplies.
Gate quickly guided the Medic that was with him to the navigation room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Great you are here…" X was relived as he saw Gate and the Medic following him.
"Yes. Commander X Please stand aside as I stabilize Ms. Alia."
"I have already stabilized her as much as the situation will allow. We just need to finish repairing her."
"You are full of surprises. X can you help me get her on the-"
"Yes."
"On three then, one, two, three!"
X and Salden lifted Alia carefully and placed her on the stretcher. Then the trio quickly went to Medical. Salden asked him numerous medical questions and he answered to the best of his abilities.
"If you had just a few more weeks of training you would be considered an EMT." Salden noted after they past the R&D lab.
X only dimly heard him as he was paying full attention to Alia. He still held her hand as they entered the Medical Center.
"Commander you will have to move so we can work." Lifesavor said as he neared them.
X nodded. As he started to back away he spoke to her.
"Don't give up. You mean so much to me Alia…"
