Sigh... I'm really stressed out... But since I've got a little time with the computer, I'm uploading this chapter. The reviewers in the last chapter:

ModelAwesome: Thanks for the review and here's the second chapter!

RedAxl: The Hunters' ages are based on the games, so in this story Grey is 16 while Ashe is 17.

Enjoy the story!

Black and White Mega Men

Chapter 2 – Secret Lab

Vent and Aile were transported to Area A where they first met Prairie and the Guardians. The forest was as quiet as usual as there weren't many Mavericks around.

"I think it's going to take the whole day if there's only one survivor…" Vent complained.

"Yeah, but we don't have any other important things to do now. Weil and Omega are gone and the four other Mega Men don't seem to be turning their backs on us. But I still don't understand how come their Biometals contain the consciousness of the Chosen Ones." Aile replied.

"Maybe Albert had modified them before they got the Biometals. By the way, did Prairie mention where the exact position is? I think it'll save us some time." Vent asked impatiently.

"No, she didn't mention anything. Are you planning to somewhere after this?" Aile replied and asked.

"Uh… n-no! Come on, let's just start looking already!" Vent walked away, but he suddenly tripped over a rock. "Ugh… I don't remember that there's a rock over there…"

"Vent, are you okay?" Aile helped him back to his feet before the ground suddenly shook a bit. "W-What was that?" She looked around and saw a set of stairs heading towards the underground beside them. "Vent, I guess we've found a hidden stairs thanks to you!"

"Come on, let's go down there!" Vent said impatiently as he and Aile went down the stairs.

They went to the underground and found themselves inside an old abandoned lab. It was somehow similar to the lab in Area L, but it was underground instead. They walked deeper inside the lab and found an opened medium sized container with a few cables connected to it on top of a computer which was turned on.

"A container? I wonder what was inside…" Vent looked closer at the container, not noticing a capsule beside him.

"Vent, take a look at this!" Vent turned to Aile, who was looking at the computer screen. "I think these are Biometals' data, but what are they doing here?"

"Could it be that the Biometals were actually created here?" Vent asked.

"It could be, but why the creator of the Biometals left them uncared? If the creator knows the Biometals' powers, then they should be kept away from suspicious people!" Aile commented as Vent nodded.

They suddenly heard a beeping sound coming from their right. Vent turned to the source of the voice and saw a broken capsule. Vent approached it and rubbed the dust off the glass and saw a blonde haired young woman with a ponytail. She wore a pink collared coat over her pink shirt and skirt.

"Is she… a human?" Vent asked as Aile approached the capsule.

"I think, but I'm not so sure either…" Aile took a glance at the young woman before the capsule suddenly beeped again. "Huh?"

White colored gas suddenly came out and covered the blonde's whole body. Vent and Aile watched in confusion as the body was fully covered with gas and couldn't be seen anymore. The capsule beeped one more time before the white gas stopped coming out.

"HIBERNATION PROCESS IS COMPLETED. THE CAPSULE WILL BE OPENED IN A FEW MOMENTS."

They waited as the capsule opened up and the blonde haired young woman stepped out from the capsule. She looked around the old lab, but she suddenly noticed there were two figures standing in front of her.

"W-Who are you?" the blonde asked. "Are you going after the Biometals?"

"No actually, we were assigned here to find the source of a life sign coming from this area. Anyways, my name is Vent and this is Aile, my girlfriend and partner." Vent introduced himself and Aile.

"My name is Ciel, and I'm a scientist and the commander of the Guardians." Ciel replied.

"W-Wait! Are you Prairie's sister? The first commander of Guardians?" Aile asked with a surprised look on her face as Ciel nodded.

"Yes, but we aren't blood related sisters. She is a Reploid whom I rescued when I ran away from Neo Arcadia and I decided to take care of her like my own sister." Ciel explained.

"Neo Arcadia? I think I've heard about that. But it had already been destroyed now, right?" Vent asked as Ciel nodded.

"Yes, but luckily we've managed to save all of the humans and Reploids before it was destroyed back then." Ciel turned to where the container was and found that it was empty. "The Biometals! They're gone!"

"It's okay, Vent has two of them with him. As for the other four, they were with the other Chosen Ones." Aile explained as Vent pulled out Model X and Model Z.

"But what about Serpent? He needs to be stopped!" Ciel said with worry.

"We've defeated Serpent five years ago. This place is peaceful now that with Serpent and Albert defeated, along with Weil and Omega." Vent said calmly, but noticed the horrified look on Ciel's face when he mentioned about Weil. "What is it?"

'Dr. Weil and Omega? But how is that possible?' Ciel thought before turning to the couple. "Could you take me back to Prairie? I need to know what has happened during my hibernation in the capsule."

"Okay, but do you know how long have you been sleeping there?" Vent asked.

"I'm not sure, but I believe that I had set the capsule to keep me asleep for a century." Ciel walked back towards the capsule. "The capsule is broken a bit, so it might be malfunctioning and keeps me asleep maybe for a few more years after or before the time I had set before."

"I see…" Vent commented before he put his hand on his communicator. "Prairie, we're done here. Can you transfer us back to the base?"

"Okay, hold on a second." Prairie replied from the other side.

Vent put his hand back to his side and noticed that Ciel was looking at him.

"Vent, Aile… are you members of the Guardians?" Ciel asked as the two nodded. "Oh, it looks like the Guardians have more members than the before." Ciel said as she smiled.

A few seconds later, they glowed for a moment and were transported away from the old lab.

Meanwhile in Area L, Ashe and Grey had reached the end of the area. They looked around the room, but no one was there.

"Grey, are you sure that the reading came from this place?" Ashe asked with an annoyed tone.

"I'm sure that it's coming from this place!" Grey said angrily. A figure behind the shadows suddenly appeared as Grey turned around. "Who's there?"

Suddenly, a shower of black and gold rocks fell on top of them and followed by six kunai blades. Grey took a glance at the figure before he fainted. The figure chuckled evilly while looking at the Hunters who were buried under the rocks.

"It's only a matter of time until my powers have fully recovered…"

I'm not sure when I'll update the story again. (it could be this weekend or earlier than that) I've got one chapter left to write in this story (but this chapter or the next one aren't going to be the last chapter) but I have a lot of schoolwork so I probably won't be writing for a while. Anyways, please review!
