CHAPTER 6: Reasoning? Model A's Confrontation!
After they all met up with A-01 and the others, including Phantom and Fefnir, all of them later knew more about Kagome and the others at Kaede's hut.
"Reploids merging with humans? That's something I can't believe."
"You'd better believe it – Sango merged with Phantom hours ago!"
Ciel was a little astonished as well, as she had no idea how Reploids could merge with humans.
Sesshomaru restrained himself from taking on A-01 due to Rin's request (and thinking maybe the ex-army personnel was not in his right mind that day.). Like usual, Amar Ma'aruf and Chris Belmont had their usual tech talk. Although Sango was tired, the demon slayer was keeping an eye on Miroku while giving warning glances at Miroku - as he was watching Leviathan for God knows what was in his mind.
The rest was either amazed or didn't care about the Guardian reploids.
After the conversation had dimmed down, Amar Ma'aruf and Chris Belmont got up and walked out of the hut.
"Where are you two going?" Kaede asked.
"We'll be back in few minutes, because we're going to find Vent and Aile."
"Where to?" Inuyasha asked, as he knew Vent and Aile was with Kikyo.
"Don't ask that question since you had already knew where we're going, okay, Inuyasha?" Chris said. "Kirara, we need you for a while. You don't mind, Sango?"
The youkai taijiya didn't reply, but she gave a nod. With Sango's agreement, both walked out of the hut. Kirara had transformed into her larger form by then.
"Kirara, you'd know Vent and Aile's scent, right? Can you help us locate them both?"
Kirara gave a quick nod as both partners got on her back. The large cat demon then flew away.
However, instead of hearing Vent and Aile's playful laughter playing with Kikyo, they hear buster shots continuously firing. It was as if someone was in a gunfight.
"Kirara! Watch out!"
"Whoa!"
In mid air, both Chris and Amar jumped off Kirara's back. Kirara evaded a charged shot while the duo landed on the ground with a roll.
"Yikes!"
Another charged shot nearly blasted Chris, but he ducked and slided under the shot. Taking out his replica of the USP while Amar took out his SIG Sauer P228, both Chris and Amar took cover behind a tree. They saw Vent in Model ZX not too far away.
"Oi Vent! What the heck is going on?"
"Someone came and ambushed us! Aile's taking Lady Kikyo away to safety!"
"Firearm battle, eh? This is gonna be easy."
Chris leaped out from his cover and he tried to find the source of the attacker. He avoided every shot and when he found it, Chris aimed the handgun replica at a branch above the attacker.
But before the vampire hunter could pull the trigger, a charged shot hit him right on!
"CHRIS!"
Chris slowly got up from the billowing smoke, holding his chest.
"Don't worry… I'm alright, I'm alright."
The strange reploid charged up again, but this time Chris learnt his lesson. He quickly held the trigger, firing multiple shots while trying to handle the heavy recoil from the airgun.
"Out of the way!"
This time, Amar Ma'aruf continued his attack, firing real, live rounds at the attacker. He stopped for a while, replicating this handgun. He then gone full-auto, stopping at fixed intervals to reload.
"Vent! Get into Model FX and help us!"
"Got it! ROCK ON!"
"A-TRANS!"
At the shock of the yell, both Amar and Chris flew backwards after being shot with a fireball, both hit a tree, but Chris fell unconscious.
"What the hell?"
"Oh no! Chris! Get up!"
"No good. He's out cold."
"Vent… he looked like Model FX! What should we do?"
"I don't know! He does that whenever I tried to change other models!"
Snapping out his Tome of Arms out of the void, he chased after Model FX's look alike. Vent transformed back into model ZX in the background.
"Gotcha!" it yelled.
"Time Stop!"
With Amar's experience in magic, was able to stop time around the enemy, thus freezing Model FX's look alike effectively. The inu hanyou then slammed his Tome of Arms (Volume 3 of 3 if you're curious.) on the attacker, making it flew backwards for a few meters.
"Score!"
"Grey!" A voice yelled.
"There's another one over there!"
"W-wait! Don't shoot me!" The female voice pleaded. "Please don't hurt Grey!"
Amar his .357 handgun but Vent stood their ground, holding his weapon.
"Disengaging…"
After the one they shot down transformed, Amar noticed that he had two cords coming out behind him. He was unconscious due to the slamming from Tome of Arms' maces and spear. The one who asked Amar and the others to stop attacking was a girl with ponytail-styled hair. Both had grey hair.
"Wow. Looks like we lost to Model FX, even we won against Model F…"
"Who's there?" Amar asked as he heard that voice. It was a childish voice, and he had heard it before…
A Biometal floated in front of Amar Ma'aruf. Unlike other Biometals, that one had a screw in place of the normal jewel. It's triangular in shape with red, silver and dark blue in color.
"I'm Biometal Model A! I see that you're another Biomatch, since you can hear me."
"What's a Biomatch?" Vent asked as he disengaged from the merge.
Aile faced Vent and explained. "It's the other term for Chosen Ones."
"Well, there's a lot for you and Grey to explain why this guy over here attacked Vent and Aile. I also want to know why you're calling me as a Biomatch for no apparent reason." Amar said.
"Sounds good to me."
Amar Ma'aruf took the radio from Chris' belt and tuned its frequency to Aile's.
"Aile, do you read me?" Amar started.
"I do."
"Everything's all-clear. You can get out with Kikyo now."
"Okay!" Came a cheerful reply from Aile.
Aile later appeared as Model HX, landing with Kikyo in her arms. After several explanations, they knew why Grey attacked Vent and Amar tried out using the other Biometals after Model A explained what a Biomatch is. That though, was not too successful for some reason.
"Sigh… maybe we can do this later…"
With that, the others returned to the village, including Kikyo.
A/N: See? I told you I'll get things balanced (Yeah right.). Now there's a complete tri-crossover, mind you. So, in order to know who the antagonists are, let's say that those Prometheus and Pandora's around (With the inclusion of the Band of Seven later on.). Read on and review! TQ!
O/N: By the way, you can see Rise of The Triads everywhere in my recent fanfics now. I love the Excalibat and the missile weapons! Add the \EKG cheat, now the game's a bloody mess. I didn't have a good copy (not shareware, mind you.) or 3D Realms' distributor anywhere here in Malaysia, so I need an .nrg (This can be obtained when you use NERO CD Burner and copy the file into a disk recorder option) copy of the disk. Give me a link (By e-mail option, not PM.) on it… please!
