As for SpartanCommander's question, I'm checking it out right now. Anyways, here's the next chapter for you guys to enjoy:

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

Amusement Park

Vent continues running until he runs out of breath. He looks around and notices the familiar surroundings. This is the spot… where our moms died…

Everyone's left me… first mom… then Giro… and now Aile… Vent slams his fist against the ground. Even with the biometals, I am powerless. Nothings changed at all since the defeat of Serpent. I still can't protect the people I care about!

Tears start to mix with the rain as Vent starts crying. I haven't since the death of my parents. I didn't even cry during Giro's death, but Aile's always been there for me. I can't do this anymore, I don't want to see anyone else die…

-----Flashback-----

"Come on, mommy, let's go over there!" A very young boy runs forward with his mom panting behind him.

"Slow down, Vent. I can barely keep up with you." Vent looks around and finds a girl, about his own age, sitting on a bench by herself.

"Hey, my name's Vent. What's your name?" The girl turns and notices him. She turns away and doesn't answer. "Hello?"

"My mommy said to not to talk to any strangers while she's gone." The girl continues to ignore Vent as his mother comes to talk to the girl.

"You don't need to worry about him. Now tell me, what's your name? You don't have to answer if you feel like it." Aile quickly faces Vent's mom and answers without hesitation.

"My name is Aile."

"Hey, how come you didn't answer me?" Vetn pouts as his mom laughs playfully. Another woman comes up to the bench and hands Aile some chocolate.

"Sorry that it took so long, Aile. The lineup was longer than I expected." She looks around and notices the other two people. "Are these your new friends, Aile?"

"I suppose so."

"Well, I guess they seem nice enough." Aile's mom starts talking to Vent's mom as Vent starts to fidget nervously, thinking of something to say.

"So, Aile… what do you want to do?" Aile continues slowly nibbling her chocolate as Vent stares at her.

"Want some?"

"But you already bit it… Mommy said if I eat something someone else already bit, I'll get sick." Aile takes the chocolate bar and splits it in half. She gives the other half to Vent as she continues eating.

"Is it ok now?"

"Yeah, I think so…" Vent takes the chocolate and eats it. "Thanks." Suddenly a bomb drops just in front of the four of them as Vent's and Aile's moms grab the two of them and start running.

"What's happening, mommy?" Neither of the two of them has ever experienced anything like this and is confused.

"I'll explain later, we need to keep on running." The four of them run into a dead end. "Hurry, hide behind that bush and don't come out!"

Aile and Vent slowly go behind the bush just as a purple reploid comes into view. Both their eyes widen as the purple reploid approaches their moms.

"Where are the two kids with you? I could have sworn I saw them with you just a second ago." Both of them spread their hands out defensively.

"We don't know what you're talking about."

"Fine, guess I'll just have to kill the two of you instead." Vent and Aile's eyes widen in horror as they watch the purple reploid toss a bomb and hear the screams of pain from their mothers. Tears come out of their eyes as the area becomes engulfed in flames. The heat of the flames causes the two of them to faint as their eyes close.

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

"Are you two okay?" Vent opens his eyes to find a blond guy with glasses in front of him. He immediately sits up.

"Where's mommy, what happened to mommy?" The blond guy slowly looks down, thinking of a way to break it to a small kid.

"You two were the only survivors in the area…" Vent looks behind him to see Aile up and crying. Vent starts to cry as well as realization dawned on him.

"If it makes it any easier, the two of you can come and stay in my place…" Aile starts to slowly wipe the tears out of her eyes as she looks at the blond.

"What's your name?"

"You can just call me Girouette."

-----End Flashback-----

Everyone I ever cared about is gone now… Aile was always with me ever since that day. I've had enough of death, I'm going to quit the Guardians. Vent reaches into his pocket and gets a red biometal.

I've had enough of this! Vent prepares to slam the thing on the ground before he realizes something. This isn't Model Z….

"If you stay in the rain like that, you're going to catch a cold." Vent hears the figure approaching from behind him and looks up to find an umbrella shielding him from the rain.

"Just leave me alone! You don't understand what it's like for me to lose Aile. We've been together for so long…" Tears start to come out of Vent's eyes at an even faster rate. Oh great, now they'll think I'm a baby…

"I didn't know you cared so much, Vent." Vent starts to snap at hearing the voice.

"How can you be so…" Vent stops as he gets a closer look at the figure behind him. "Aile!? But how!?"

"Come on, Vent, we need to go back." Vent looks at Aile and notices the cuts are still on her body, but it doesn't seem as bad anymore. Vent wipes the tears away from his eyes and the two of them head back to Guardian HQ.

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

Guardian HQ

"Don't take off like that again, Aile. We were all very worried about you." Prairie looks behind Aile, "So you brought Vent back."

"Wait, how is Aile even still alive?" Ciel turns from her work on the computer to answer Vent's question.

"As it turns out, the damages were not as bad as they had seemed. In fact, Aile will make a full recovery in about a day. All the cuts are non vital and more for show than damage. I guess she got very lucky."

"Something's been bothering me." Zero turns to Aile. "What exactly happened back then? I fought Yuriskah, and he didn't seem like the type that would make these kind of mistakes."

"Well… I'll try to tell you what I remember…"

-----Flashback-----

Aile waits outside as she looks to the distance. Be careful, Vent. Aile quickly jumps to the side as the building behind her bursts in flames and people start running out.

What's happening!?

"Help! My baby is still in there!" Aile turns to find a woman.

"Where?"

"He's in the kids clothing section in the store. Please rescue him…" Aile runs into the scorching store. Where is he?

Sweat trickles down Aile's face as she tries to look straight. Aile hears the sound of crying and follows it to find a baby. There!

"It's okay. I've come to help you." The baby continues to cry as Aile gently removes him from his crib. She starts to rock the baby and he quiets down a bit.I need to get out! Sweat continues to trickle down her face as she looks at the exit. It's been blocked shut!

"Well, looks like the chosen one still wants to play the hero even though she has no biometals." Aile looks behind her to find a human figure with silver hair.

"Who are you?" Aile goes down to her knees at the intensity of the heat. Come on, open up! Aile slams the door with her free hand as she holds onto the baby with her other one.

"Zero didn't tell you about me? Well, I'm Yuriskah, now a servant to Model W." Yuriskah chuckles as Aile desperately slams on the door. "Seeing as I'm in a good mood today, I'll give you a minute to try and escape."

Aile slams the door one more time and pushes it open. She runs and hands the baby to its mother. "Here you go, now run!"

"Thank you." The woman holds her baby with both her hands as Aile warns the others to get out. Come on, Vent, I really need your help right now.

"Your time is up!" Yuriskah appears in front of Aile as she tries to run. "You've had your chance, I'm coming after you whether you like it or not!"

There's no way I can take him on without the biometals. I'm not even sure I can beat him with them! "I won't let you pass here, Yuriskah, even if I have to fight you without the biometals!"

"There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. You've just crossed the line." Yuriskah gets out a blade from his pocket. "Seeing as how you're unarmed, I guess I won't use the biometals."

Aile grabs a nearby pipe on the ground and swings it at Yuriskah. Yuriskah raises his hand up and deflects the attack. He swings out his blade and cuts the pipe in half and slashes at Aile.

Aile goes down to the ground as a pool of blood appears next to her. I guess this is where I die. I'm sorry, Vent, I won't be able to help you.

"Rock-on!" was the last thing Aile heard before fainting.

(Note: Aile is not telling the rest of this, this is just so you people know what happened.)

"Hmpf, seeing as how you were so brave and everything, I guess I'll allow you one more chance at living." Yuriskah points his ZX Buster away from Aile and starts shooting at the unoccupied buildings.

"That should cause enough of a scene. Now, Aile, are you going to take the chance at life that I decided to give you?" Yuriskah teleports away, leaving the unconscious Aile on the ground.

-----End Flashback-----

"That was the last thing I remembered before fainting…"

"What's wrong, Zero?" Ciel notices the look of concentration on Zero's face.

"Nothing, something just doesn't seem right. If Yuriskah was ordered by Model W to kill Aile, he could have easily done it right then."

"Who knows? Maybe he isn't under the control of Model W." X thinks about it. "In fact, I'm pretty sure that he isn't being controlled by Model W now that I think about it."

"Yeah, but what is he after?" Vent turns to Aile as she starts to slowly close her eyes.

"I promise, Aile, I'm not leaving you again." Aile smiles as she closes her eyes. Vent looks at the others. "Is she going to be okay?"

"Yes, she's just resting right now." Ciel pauses for a moment. "Oh, by the way, can you give me Model X for a while? I'll repair it and make a copy for Aile so the two of you can Rock-on separately.

"Alright," Vent takes out Model X and hands it to Ciel and she leaves to start working on it. "What should I do now, commander?"

"You should go to your room and rest as well, I'm sure that Aile will be okay by tomorrow." Vent leaves the room with the others, leaving only Prairie and Aile in the room. Aile slowly starts to open her eyes.

"Prairie…"

"What is it, Aile? You should be resting right now." Aile slowly reaches under her jacket and pulls out a black stuffed cat.

"I got this for you." Aile closes her eyes again as Prairie looks at it carefully. Black, huh? This almost has a small resemblance to Forte…

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

"Model W, it seems that Aile has somehow recovered from the attack." Phantom walks into the room.

"Well, it seems that I underestimated her." Yuriskah heads for the exit. "I'll be back in a few hours, tell me if you need me." Yuriskah warps out via the trans server.

"Well, Phantom, did you deliver Model O to Vent?"

"Yes, I managed to sneak it on him during our fight."

"I don't get it, Model W. Why go through all that trouble just to make the chosen one stronger?" Model W chuckles a bit.

"Trust me, Prometheus, once Vent activates Model O against Shademan and the others, it'll solve both our problems. If you're really curious, then you can go and see once he activates it."

"If you say so…"

School starts again for me tomorrow, so I won't be able to update as regularly as I do now. Anyways, remember to read and review.
