I know, I know, it's taken a while for another chapter. Just been busy. Our family became a foster family of two little girls under the age of 1 1/2 this month, so we've been busy trying to get everything ready, and then my computer goes on the wacky side...so it was like...okay. But...I did get an super fun update it in.

Thanks for everyone who's stayed with this story...for those of you who just adore Pip, she's just one you love. This chapter has X5 goodness in it...smirks. Thanks to all who've read and reviewed...this story if for you.

"And how exactally are we gonna pull this off"

"Easy, the X5 way."

"Ah, now why didn't I think of that."

Jondy and Zane

Enjoy

Pip looked up at the two X5s with her and then at the others coming towards her. "Um, any ideas?" she asked, as she backed more behind them. "Cause I'm thinking if we all get hurt, Max's is gonna hurt us."

Both X5s chuckled, as they looked at each other. "No kidding," Alec muttered, as he glanced at the groups heading towards them. "Okay, anybody got any ideas?"

"Not get killed," Biggs yelled, as some came up behind them. "Pip, look out!" He shoved her gently, but clearly out of the way. She hit the ground hard and turned to see them in battle. "Okay, this is not fun any more, 494!"

"I know that," Alec replied, as he fought the ones who were trying to hold him down to the ground off. "Where are the others when you need them?"

"Oh, I'm sure they'll be here, when they can be."

Pip was grabbed from behind and she let out a startled scream, causing the X5s' to look over at her. "Pip!" Alec struggled to get to his feet. "Okay, this really isn't fun anymore."

"Oh, no you notice."

"Don't take that tone with me." Alec threw someone off of him and into oncoming X7s. He let out a sigh. "They just keep coming. This is like training all over again."

"Yeah, but we got a problem."

"And that would be?" Alec shot his fellow X5 a look, as he looked around, as they got prepared to fight again. "Don't tell me you're not having fun."

"No, that's not the problem. The problem is that Pip's gone, and we're gonna have to tell Max."

Both groaned. "Ah, that's true." Alec shot a glance at the ones coming towards them. "We'll face that burden when we come to it."

"And what if that burden is right behind you?" a very familiar voice called out from behind them, causing both male X5s to wince, as Alec turned and shot Max a smirk. "What happened?" She came up towards Alec's side. "You were supposed to keep an eye on her. What the hell happened?"

"Max, we are seriously out numbered here..." Alec began, as his eyes went over her shoulder, and he frowned. "Okay, I saw you and that other one jump the fence. Where did he go?"

"What?" Max said, as she turned around to face Krit, who was supposed to be right behind her, but found nothing but thin air. "Krit?" Her eyes narrowed as she tried to find him. "I don't know, he was right behind me."

"Well, Maxie, he's gone now," Alec muttered, as he turned to face the crowds again. "And they're still not happy with us."

"Well, what do you expect?" a voice called out, and they looked up to see the doctor. "You're X5s." He smirked, as he went before the horde. "You're traitors to the cause. They are the smart ones, while you're not."

That got Max and Alec to chuckle. "Yeah, buddy, you got it all wrong," Alec said, as he looked over at him. "See we're living the good life, and they're not. See you got them brainwashed so badly, that they don't know what they want."

The man chuckled, as he looked over at Alec. "And neither did you up until your encounter with that plaque of an X5, X5-494." Alec shot Max a look, as Biggs came closer to their sides. "Believe me when I know all about you."

"And what about me?" a small voice called out, causing the X5s to groan. Trust it to be their daughter to go up against him. The man turned to face Pip and she looked up at him, with a somewhat bored look on her face. "Mr. All Powerful and All Knowing...what do you know about me?"

"That you're gonna die," he sneered as he motioned for an pair of X8s to take her away. "But the sad part about is that your dear parents, won't be allowed to see that."

"Let me go," Pip screamed, as she fought to free herself. "No...let me go."

----------------------------------

Up on the hill top, the remaining X5s with her. "What do we do?" Jondy asked, as Pip's screams reach their ears. "They're out numbered."

"Well that's easy, Sis," Zane replied, as he put an arm on her shoulder. "We do what we were trained to do."

"And that would be what, Zane?" Syl asked, as she shot the cocky X5 a look, before Pip's screams reached their ears. Their eyes quickly turned to look at her.

"We go in there and kick their asses." He smirked. "The only way we know how."

"And that would be how?" Syl shot Jondy a look. "Do you understand him?"

"Oh, I have a hunch, I know where he's going with this."

"Yeah, girls, it's easy," Zane said, as he put his arms around both of their shoulders. "They're some X5s there, but mostly X6s, some X7s, and X8s. The way I see it, the only way to teach them a lesson, is the X5 way."

"And that way is the best way," both girls replied, as they look up at him. "So let's go. We really don't want them to have all the fun."

"True...last one there has to explain to Maxie why we were late," Syl said, as she broke from them."

"Hey! That is so not fair," Jondy cried out, as they blurred for the fence.

---------------------------------------

Pip struggled with the X8s who had her, as they started to drag her towards the buidling. "No, let me go," she screamed. She knew that Max, Alec, or even Biggs couldn't help her. So was so alone right now.

"No one is going to help you, bastard child," one of the X8s snarled, as he started to reach for the door, only to freeze at a soft chuckle behind them. They growled, as they dropped Pip to the ground, only to have one grab her arm, when she struggled to stand. "Ah, someone to play with."

"If you wanna call it that," Krit said, as he looked up from his spot. He was leaning on the wall of the building in the shadows. "But it won't be much of a challenge I can give you that."

"Why you insolent, jerk of an..."

"What...X5?" Krit smirked, as he looked over at Pip. He shot her a smirk. "And as for me being an insolent. I'm not, I'm just a little bit more trained than the likes of you all."

"Kill him." The X8 rushed towards Krit and launched himself at him. Pip muttered out a warning, but the fight was over really before it started. The remaining X8 turned to look at Krit and Pip. He released her to go fight Krit, only to fall like his partner did.

"Hey," Pip said to him, as she rushed over to his side and stopped short, as recongnition came to her face. "I don't know your name, do I?"

"Nope," he replied, as he looked down at her. "But if you're nice I'll tell it to you."

"Or I could get my mom and dad to beat it out of you."

He smirked, as he offered his hand to her. "Fair enough," he said, as he ushered her into the shadows and away from the horde. "Come on little one, of Maxie's. We don't really wanna keep her cranky." He then leaned down. "And the name is Krit."

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Dakota, or Pip, or 946." She looked up at him. "Whatever you care to call me."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Pip." He then looked over to see the other X5s jump the fence. "And it seems the others have joined the party. Shall we?"

"Yes, please." Then let's go."

-----------------------------------

"Are you all prepared to die today?" the man asked, as he looked at the three X5s in front of him. "Cause you know you will today."

"Oh, blah, blah, woof woof," a voice called out from behind Max causing her to smirk, as Jondy came up beside her. "You always say the lamest things I betcha."

"There's more of you," the man sneered. "That's just great."

"Yeah, doesn't it make you go all tinglely inside?" Zane asked, as he looked at him. "Cause we don't really care about what you think."

"And why's that?"

"Cause you're an idiot," Krit pointed out, as he and Pip joined the group. "Sorry you're X8s couldn't do it. They're not able to handle the job. They're not made for it."

"Meaning what exactally."

"Never send an X8 to do an X5s' job, idiot," Zane said, as he looked over at him. "It's that simple." He shot a glance around at the others. "We're some of the best out there. And you have no idea who's still out there. So you aren't gonna win this today."

"We'll see about that. Kill them all." The horde let out yells, as they all started towards them at a run.

"Nice rant, Zane," Krit muttered, as he hit him over the back of the head. "Were you thinking of what they might do, while you were saying it?"

"Not really," he replied, as he shot his fellow X5 a smirk, and shot a glance down at Pip. "Hey, little one. Ready to do this?"

"Born ready," Pip replied, as they turned to face the horde. "But I don't think I'm trained for this."

"That's okay, we are." Zane and Krit put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, as Max, Alec, and Biggs shot a smile her way, as they got ready to fight. "We're X5s little one, we're always ready."

"Right...I gotta remember that...when up against a lot of people." Her eyes grew wide as the group came towards them. "This isn't our day."

-----------------------------------------

On the hill top, two sets of eyes watched the attack below. "Do we help?"

"Only if they need it."
