Lumine: (pretty banged up, dented, and bruised from a base ball bat. Holding a sign) (Sign: Disclaimer: Uzu-Chan does not own any Megaman/Rockman X characters, because if she did, Axl would have his own mini series.)

Lumine: (walks away dejectly)

Zero: (STILL punching X) -AND FOR ALL THE TIMES YOU'VE WHINED, AND ALL THE TIMES YOU'VE STARTED CRYING BECAUSE YOU HAD A PAPER CUT, AND-

X: (boing, boing, boing) ;

Uzu: o0 Woa, lots of aggresion I see.

Axl: (still video taping) Man, this would make a great reality TV show!

Uzu: Hmm? Titled what?

Axl: "Mavericks aren't the only ones who are maverick".

Uzu: How original. ;

(pan to a room full of mavericks watching TV)

Optic Sunflower: Is not!

Burn Rooster: They're using our existance to create a reality TV show?

Bamboo Pandamonium: That's-because-we're-so-popularrr.

Avalanche Yeti: The bastards!

(pan back)

Uzu: Why do I have the feeling something bad's gonna happen?

Axl: Because you ate that year old yogurt for that dare.

Uzu: Ah, yes, the yogurt..

Axl: Along with the french fries, orange slices and ketchup.

Uzu: Explains a lot..s'cuse me (runs to bathroom)

(No word of a lie, I'm the kid who eats the weird stuff. Example: Orange slice dipped in yogurt with ketchup, french fry dipped in yogurt, popcorn dipped in yogurt, goldfish (cheese crackers, not the real thing) with ketchup or barbaq sauce, to name a few XP.)

X ran as fast as his feet could take him. If he didn't get the kid back on their side, Zero and Dynamo would be in a world of hurt. The duo had volenteered to bait the mavericks out into the open, X and Axl were to catch them in a picer movement. But how could this work if Axl was missing?

"Fuck it.." Air and dust whized past the old hunter. Cutting corners at such close ranges that his shoulders would scrape on the jagged cement blocks. The faded pattern of disturbed dust lead him around a few bends, all the way to a blown off door.

"What on..." Coming to a stop, X placed his left hand on the remains of the frame. Gently running his hand down it, he calculated how much force the 'perpatrator' must have used to have desimated such a big obstacle. "Must have been him.."

Quickly clicking his comunicating device he spoke rapidly. "Zero come in. I've found Axl's trail. Try and fend for yourself for a little longer ok?"

A short responce came back. "OK, but hurry, they're not exactly friendly out here, if you know what I mean!" The comunication cut as soon as the expirienced hunter started to pick up the pace yet again. Axl was near, he knew that.

The last few rooms and long stretches of hallways had been dark and musty. The young Red Alert Run-away made the conclusion that he was travelling further and further underground. (Thank you Rue:D) Sensing that he would be better off nearer to the surface, he began taking another route.

As the minutes elongated into days, he noticed a small clank somewhere further back. Dismissing it for a contraction of the cold metal walls he continued walking at his leisurely pace. No one would be in such an abandonned part of this facility. The dust that pasted the floor told Axl this. But again a few minutes later, another smaller clank insued.

Axl turned his body halfway back and peered into the darkness. The hallways were somberly light, so he could see his way around, it wasn't as pitch black as before, but that clanking...

It didn't seem to come from the pathway behind him. No. It seemed like it came through the very wall itself. A thought struck the young hunter. He went up to the metallic wall on his left side, and pressed forcibly on it's surface. A shift in the material told him that it was hollow.

Not wanting whatever was in there to get the better of him (though he highly thought it was just the heat reacting with the titanium), he pulled out his dual guns, searching for the mysterious door that would lead to the second compartement of this hall.

It didn't take long for the spy-in-training to locate the misplaced metal frame. Giving it a good solid kick, he backed away slightly, searching for any sign of life in the black abyss. Nothing met his eyes.

Taking a half step forward, he heard the clanking again; except this time it was right in front of him.

The robot was slightly shorter than him, but not by much. A rich yellowed gold ardorned the extremities of the robot, creating a lovely contrast with the charcoal armor. Vermeil piercing eyes starred back at him, splitting the darkness.

The reploid's features were that of a male. A slim, yet lean form. On a better inspection Axl noticed sparking wires and ripped off chip components protruding from it's body.

"Watch out!"

A sharp mechanical noise cut through Axl's heart. Pivoting on one foot, he faced the direction of his unprotected back. Axl glanced horror-struck at the huge mechaniloid which blocked his path.

A few moments later, he saw nothing.

"Axl! ...Axl! Where are you! Where are yo- oh fuck." Staring at the gaping hole in front of him, X sighed aggravatedly, glaring at the void with almost infinite hatred.

Vexed he glanced around for another route, but he was met with the same dilema that Axl had passed a while back. The structure of the room was unconcevable.

"Those scientists must have been out of their minds! Who on earth would build a room like this, apart from Alia's old collegue!"(Gate: (gives X the finger) Uzu: (Laughs out loud))

But he was used to this. He brought upon his memory the times Zero had taught him how to wall jump. It took only a matter of seconds, to complete four years of training. (Zero+teachinghumour me people)

(The room should appear in X's and -. X are the frame, - is the path or bounce Mega X did.)

Landing swiftly on the ball parts of his feet, X scurried off into the darkness.

Hmmm I know it's short. But I really wanted to cut it off there. For the sake of the plot! I SWEAR IT!

Gate: And for the fact that I was 'introduced' again. (grabs a bat) (goes to whack X in the head)

Uzu: HOOOOOOOLD IT!

All?

Uzu: (pulls cencore fuzzy stuff over them) There! Now have fun!

Gate: Yay!

Uzu: Ah darn.

Gate+Zero: What?

Uzu: I had a rendez-vous to beat up Red. I can't make it if I'm here watching this!

Gate:...

Zero:...

Axl:...

X: xx

Gate: (grins and grasps bat) Why don't we go with you?

Zero: (smiles) Yes, I did sort of remember a previous engagement that I had discussed with Red the first time before I creamed him up!

Axl: (pulls up video camara) SCORE!

All: (march out of room)

X: xx

(Mavericks enter the room)

Optic Sunflower: DRAT! We missed them!

Avalanche Yeti: (standing on X) Wonder where they gone?

(pan to distant screams of agony, of which you cannot tell if it is male, female, human, or other :) )

o/ Sometimes the feeling is right

Bamboo Pandimonium: whhheeerreee'ss ttthaat mmmusssiiicc cooommmmiinnggg frrrooommm?

o/ Now the summer is gone

I never felt more alone
(Baby I am missing you)

(And I hope you'll miss me too)
Come back and stay
(I think about you ev'ry day)

(You swept my feet right off the ground
You're the love I found)o/

Mavericks?

Mavericks: (walk out each stepping on X causing him to make a sqeaking noise)

Lumine: (ontop of draw) (giggles while pressing stop button on CD player)
