Sorry for the long delay. In the last two weekends, I had to take care of my grandmother's funeral. When I used the internet a few days ago for a History assignment, the internet wasn't working at all. But now, I'm ready to do the update! As for the last chapter's reviewers:

Starry Night Reader: Heheh... is that so? Well... thanks for the review and hopefully more surprises will come!

marvelboy12: Really? Well, maybe I still have something in sleeve to make up for that... lol

: No worries, the story's updated now!

Okay, now let's get on with fic already!

Black and White Mega Men

Chapter 6 – Just a Transporter

It was early in the morning, but Aile had got up. She couldn't sleep the night before so she had bags under her eyes. After she got dressed, she heard a knock on her door.

"Aile, this is Prairie. I have something important to tell you." Prairie said from outside the door. Aile walked over to the door and opened it.

"What is it, Prairie? Is there another Maverick attack?" Aile asked.

"No, there isn't. Come with me to the Control Room. I'll tell you the whole thing there." Prairie replied before she walked back to the elevator. Aile followed her to the elevator and went to the Control Room.

"Aile, I've heard everything that had happened yesterday morning from Sis." Prairie turned to Aile with a sad look. "Vent really loves you and Sis was just helping him with his confession to you."

"So what I heard yesterday was him practicing that confession? But what for?" Aile asked.

"I'm sorry, but Vent asked me not to tell anyone about this…" Prairie replied sadly before she sighed. "I saw him last night and he looked really hurt, but I couldn't do anything to help him."

"What have I done?" Aile muttered. "I'll go back to his room and apologize right away!" Aile was going to run out of the Control Room, but Prairie stopped her. She turned and saw that Prairie was still sad. "What is it?"

"Vent has quit the Guardians…" Prairie let go of Aile's hand as Aile looked at the blonde haired commander with a surprised look. "I'm sorry Aile… I couldn't stop him… He said that he wanted to go back being a regular transporter, so if you can find him around the city."

"I… I understand…" Aile slowly nodded. Suddenly the door slid open as Ciel came in.

"Prairie, I have the feeling that Vent might have accessed the special overdrive from Model Z." Ciel said as both Prairie and Aile turned to her. "Yesterday I thought that I might have heard Zero's voice combined with Vent's as he said that the whole thing wasn't my fault."

"Sis, are you really sure about it?" Prairie asked in disbelief as Ciel nodded.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. But I think he hadn't gained the full access yet, so I think he would be okay for now although he might need to be checked to be sure." Ciel replied.

"Okay, I'll try and find him. If I hadn't broken up with him, he might still be here." Aile said before she went out of the room.

"Prairie, had Vent been in a dangerous battle that made him draw out a lot of power from the Biometals?" Ciel asked with worry.

"I think it was that time when he fought Omega for the second time in Area N. His energy reading was really strong, stronger than Omega and he managed to defeat him in that state." Prairie answered.

"He could have accessed some of the power back then by accident…" Ciel stated. "Prairie, I'll try to find out a way so the special overdrive wouldn't be too risky for Vent and the other Chosen Ones to use." Prairie nodded as Ciel left and headed back to the lab.

Meanwhile, Aile was walking on the streets of Area C. She looked around, but she didn't see Vent around. When she looked to the side, she saw the old Giro Express building where she and Vent had worked before they joined the Guardians. She looked closely at Giro's old desk and saw Vent sitting there while taking some records on the goods. She hurriedly ran over to the building and to Vent.

"Vent!" Vent looked up and saw the running Guardian. "Vent… I'm really sorry for yesterday… I should have listened to you first before I broke up with you…"

"Who are you?" Vent asked coldly as Aile looked at him with a surprised look.

"V-Vent, what are you talking about?" Aile asked nervously. "I'm Aile and I'm your girlfriend!"

"I haven't heard the name Aile in my life and I don't have a girlfriend. I'm always alone in my life and no one needs me." Vent replied.

"No, Vent! The Guardians need you! Grey… and even Ashe need you!" Aile ducked to his eye level. "I need you, in my life…" Vent was silent, but his emotionless face still stayed the same. "Please Vent… remember the Guardians… remember Giro who had sacrificed himself to save us…"

"Don't bother me, I'm busy." Vent responded coldly before he got up. Aile quickly grabbed his shoulders and prevented him from walking away.

"Vent, I'll do anything to help you! I'll do anything to get you back! I don't want to lose any other people that I love… I've lost my mom… I've lost Giro… but I don't want to lose you…" Aile suddenly pulled Vent into a hug, but he didn't hug her back.

"Aile, can you hear me?" Prairie said from Aile's communicator.

"Yes, is something the matter?" Aile broke the hug and reached her hand to her communicator.

"I've got the report from Muguet that your Hunter friends had fully recovered thanks to the old medicine Rose gave them. I have also detected a Maverick base hidden near an undersea volcano. I'll transfer you back to the base for the further information." Prairie explained before she cut the connection.

Aile put her hand back to her side and sighed sadly. She turned to Vent, who was staring at her blankly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked straight at his eyes.

"I have to go now, Vent… I just want you to know that I'll always love you even if you can't remember who I really am." Aile closed her eyes and kissed him on the lips, thinking that it might be the last kiss they would share together.

Aile broke the kiss and were transported away seconds later. Vent stared blankly at the place Aile used to be before she was transported away and whispered her name.

"Aile…"

The idea for this chapter struck me when I wasn't in the mood to write, so the way this chapter goes is a bit different from the original idea (I think). The next chapter will come around this weekend and please review!
