He and I'll be writing seporate ones. That'll be my next project. But I'll get to that later. For now Enjoy :D


Gerard and Mikey walked as far from the wreckage as they could, and into the forbidden zones. As they stopped every now and then to take a break from carrying the unconscious girl they didn't speak of what had happened. They both knew the fate of their mother and the others in the shelter. The town seemed eerie and quiet. Gerard knew some people still lived in the town, a few scragglers after the war, but everyone stayed in their own hide out or off in the desert. It was finally night fall when they stopped. There was a vacant motel in the center of a plaza. Allof the windows to the shops were broken or spray painted. Gerard kept an eye open for any refugees. They tended to get teritorial when it came to places like this. With a little help from Mikey who climbed in an open window they managed to unlock one of the rooms. Gerard set the girl down on the bed. To his disgust a cloud of dust puffed out the sides. Finally he sat in one of the chairs next to the door and sighed. Mikey sat on the edge of the bed biting his lip.

"What are we gonna do man?" Mikey whispered. Gerard put his head in his hands and inhailed.

"I have no fucking idea." Gerard exhailed. "We just have to...stay alive. It's just you and me now, bro."

Mikey's eyes flashed to the girl.

"What about her?" He motioned. Gerard got up and stood next to the bed.

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now...Help me block the broken window. If we have any light showing we might have some angry refugee's looking for a place to crash." Gerard moved to the bathroom. He managed to kick off the cupboard doors from the bathroom sink as well as pop off the broken mini fridge. They taped them together and put them up where the window was. With the help of a few towels they managed to cover every crack.

Mikey watched the room while he went out and looked for food. After a few walkes around the plaza he found a strange vending machine. It was all white with a black circle and a smiley face in the center. Underneath it was the words BL/ind. He looked at the side buttons.

[POWER PUPS]

[DESTIL-O-WATER]

[GUN]

[BATTERY]

"I wasn't aware guns and batteries count as food." He said planely. Not having any money on him he did what any normal person would do...he kicked it. To his surprise the front of it crackled and swung open. Inside were several cans of food, two bottles of water, one gun and one battery. He gathered everything up in his shirt and ran back to the motel before anyone saw him.

"What'd you get. I'm starving." Mikey said rubbing his stomach. Gerard tossed him the can and he opened it.

"Dear god what is this shit!" Mikey said gagging. He turned it over to see the words REFRIED BEANS on the side.

"I think i'll starve." He said putting the can down.

Gerard picked up the gun and looked it over. On the bottom was a slot for the battery. He popped the tab open and slid in the battery.

"So how exactly do you think these things work?" He said listening to it buzz. Mikey shrugged and took it from Gerard's hands.

"I don't know but it looks cool. What's it say on the side?" Mikey turned it over.

VSHOOM!

They looked up in time to see the light beam shoot straight into the wall leaving a large black singe mark. They turned to each other slowly.

"...okay...So i'm going to take this..." Gerard said slowly taking the gun and setting it on the table. "And you're going to go sit and not touch anything."

Mikey just nodded still looking at the mark on the wall.

"Mmm..." Their eyes darted to the girl.

"Did she just make a sound?" Mikey asked. Gerard nodded.

"I think so."

Slowly they walked up to the bed. The girl had a pained look on her face. A bead of sweat rolled down her temple.

"Mmm...dad...no...the robots..." She squinted tighter and moved her head a little. Gerard stepped up closer.

"Easy, easy, your safe now." He said trying to think of something calming to say. The girl squinted again then opened her eyes quickly.

"You're ok." Gerard said looking at Mikey to see if that seemed like a good thing to say.

A hand shot straight up. He felt the palm of the girls hand hit him hard in the chest. He flew back into the wall.

"Who the hell are you!" The girl shouted. When he looked up she was already on her feet. The hit from the wall knocked the wind out of him.

"Where am I? Where the hell did you take me?" She had balled her hands into fists ready for action. She looked to Mikey who backed up slowly.

Gerard jumped up and dusted off his shirt and pants.

"Chill the fuck out!" He spat back, wrather pissed off. "We saved your ass so how about having a little bit of gratitude."

The girl scoffed.

"Gratitude! You had those androids attack me and bring me here! I'll show you some fucking gratitude! Right here!" She said holding up a fist.

"Oh please. Put your hands down before you hurt yourself, girlie! We were only trying to help." Gerard rolled his eyes.

"Like hell! I'm suppose to believe you after I wake up in some dank smelly motel? Yeah that doesn't sound like a kidnapping!"

"From the way your dressed I'm going to assume your from the city, very upper class. So just put those little fists down and we can get you back to where ever you came from, Princess. Your not fooling anyone by trying to act like you could kick my ass." Gerard smirked.

Now he'd done it. Mikey winced as the girl lunged across the room. Gerard hadn't anticipated the attack, resulting in a firm fist to the cheek bone. He spun around fast but popped right back up in time to block the girl's second attack. He held both arms up and caught her by the shoulder.

"Crazy bitch! We were just trying to help!" Gerard shouted and pushed her back. He didn't intend for one second to hit her back, he was raised better than to hit a girl under any condition, but he was going to defend himself. With every hit she threw he blocked it. Finally she knocked him on the ground and was on top.

"What the hell do you want from us!" Gerard shouted struggling.

"You have threeseconds to tell me why you kidnapped me!" The girl threatened pulling her fist back.

"Or what? You'll attempt me some more?" Gerard rolled his eyes. The girl turned to the table and snatched up the gun. She pointed it directly at Mikey.

"You have three seconds or your friend here will be a little less wind resistant!" Her aim was dead on. Mikey shrunk back to the wall.

"Gee..." Mikey whimpered.

"One..." The girl said. Gerard rattled his brain trying to think of a way to explain what happend.

"Two..."

Mikey closed his eyes and covered his head.

"..." Gerard said it all at once. The girl got up and lowered her gun.

"Wait what?" She was a little annoyed.

"We came after the bomb and found you. Those guys were after you and after they injected you with that stuff we shot them and took you here incase they woke up." Gerard said trying to catch his breath his heart was still racing.

"So...you didn't program the androids to kidnap me?" She didn't make eye contact.

"No! Though I'm not sure why anyone in their right mind would want to kidnap you!" Gerard got up and rubbed his cheek. She dropped the gun.

"I'm so sorry! I just paniced! When I was drugged the last thing I saw was the androids grabbing me I assumed...Oh I'm sorry!" She covered her lips and shook her head.

"You keep saying androids. Do you mean those Dracula guys?" Gerard asked snatching up the gun.

She nodded.

"Those weren't people. My father built them as soldiers but they weren't supposed to be in comision yet. They are an open project but anyone can program them to do anything. I saw them grabbing me, and after the bombing it would have been a perfect oportunity to kidnap me...I mean, since I found out I'm supposed to take over the company and all..." She was talking to herself now. She looked back at Gerard and Mikey who gave her a blank stare.

"...Yeah...so your trying to tell me those Dracula looking things were robots? And they want you why exactly?" Gerard tilted his head.

The girl laughed a little and shook her head.

"I'm sorry. This must be confusing for you. My father is Korse Xulanburgh." She said.

"Your the daughter of X?" Gerard's jaw dropped. Mikey's eyes got big.

"I wasn't allowed out much because of the war. Alot of people wanted to hurt my father...and me. So I assumed they bombed the street because he was there...After they saw I was still alive I guess they were trying to take me too..." She started to tear up. "It was my fault we were late in the city...We had to go to the zones to see the parade..."

Gerard was filled with a mix of empathy and anger.

"So...your father was the reason the camp got bombed?" Gerard tried to restrain his voice. The girl looked up.

"I suppose it could be possible. I don't know for sure...God...All of those people." She closed her eyes. A few tears ran down the side of her cheeks. "I watched it all burn!" She sobbed and backed up to sit on the bed.

Gerard looked to Mikey. Mikey motioned for him to go sit next to her. Cautiously Gerard sat next to her.

"We...lost our mother. Mikey and I were in the outer zones. We looked but couldnt find her."

The girl looked up and sniffled.

"Mikey?"

Gerard smiled and pointed to Mikey.

"That's my younger brother Mikey." Mikey just waved but didn't make eye contact.

The girl turned to him.

"I'm sorry I pointed a gun at you. I wasn't really gonna shoot." She sniffled.

"Its...um...ok." Mikey mumbled awkwardly.

"Sorry I punched you." She said turning to Gerard. Gerard just laughed.

"Ha, are you kidding me? I've never met a girl who could actually throw a punch! Decent!" When he smiled she could see the hint of a bruse on his cheek.

"Either way I'm sorry." She smiled lightly. She stood up and headed for the door. "We'll I appriciated your help very much. Again sorry for the attack, but I should be getting back to the Industry before they think i'm dead too."

She went to open the door only to have Gerard close it.

"Woah woah whoa! There's no way you're going out at night! Especially not after a bombing!" Gerard said surprised.

"What's wrong with going out at night?" The girl tilted her head annoyed.

"Ok Princess, first things first. I've seen my share of town bombings and you never go out after them. These refugees are so used to them it suddenly becomes a scramble for who can snag the supplies first. Secondly you never, and I repeat, never go out after dark! Someone like you would get mugged in a heart beat!" Gerard said a-matter-of-factly.

The girl rolled her eyes.

"First off," She mocked him. "Stop calling me Princess!, secondly I can handle myself, as obviously shown earlier, and thridly..." She said opening the door. She went to step outside but stopped when she heard something growl.

A few feet from the door was a wild dog eating the remains of another animal. The girl quickly slammed the door shut.

"Ya know...this place does feel cozy..." She said with a smile nervously.

"That's what I thought, Princess." Gerard said with a smug grin. The girl sighed and stepped into the center of the room.

"Ok you are going to have to stop calling me that if you want to see morning."

Gerard sighed.

"Fine, then what is your name?" He asked.

"Victory Xulanburgh. But you can just call me, Victory or Victory X." She said firmly. It was a unique name he had to give her that.

"Victory?" He repeated it.

"I accept nothing but it." She said with a wink, refering to the fight earlier. He put out his hand.

"Well Victory, I'm Gerard."
