The Truth Revealed

Rogue had been following Kitty on the Wave Road. He lost her after a few minutes of chasing, but he figured that he would see her again in a little while. He looked back on the surface and saw a sight that even made him a little shocked.

He saw Luna running through Echo Ridge, High Max chasing her.

Even though Rogue was still trying to go after Kitty, he decided that following this was a little more important.

As for Luna, she was frantically running away from the gigantic man chasing her. She hid in an allyway, poking her head out slightly to look at High Max.

"Kid," Xerox said from Luna's Hunter VG, "We need to Wave Change into Zero and take this guy out!"

"Trust me, as much as I want to, I don't think I want to risk that. If he's with Neo Arcadia then they'll know that I'm Zero," Luna reasoned.

"If we don't Wave Change then this guy is going to keep chasing us, and you can't keep running."

"I know, I just need to get to a less crowded area that doesn't have as many people," Luna poked her head out again, and this time booked it out of the alleyway. High Max noticed her and began chasing her again.

"Resistance is futile. Luna Platz, you will be eliminated," High Max stated.

"I don't even know why I'm being chased! What is this about?" Luna called out while running.

"That is not important. Resistance is futile."

"Gee," Xerox chimed in, "I kind of figured it was important to know why someone is trying to kill you!" Luna continued to run, High Max hot in pursuit.

In the Neo Arcadia base, Lynx teleported in and walked over to Issac, who actually looked a little surprised to see her.

"You wanted to see me meow?" Lynx asked.

"Kitty, this is a surprise. I didn't request to see you, though," Issac said, confusing Lynx.

"But High Max told me that you requested to see me. He made it sound important."

"Hm..." now Issac wanted to know what High Max was doing, so he went over to the monitor to see exactly what he was doing. That was when they saw High Max chasing a frantic Luna. Issac was surprised, but Lynx was absolutely horrified.

"Oh no, Luna!" Lynx cried out.

"He said that he wanted to handle this himself, but I had no idea that this is what he meant."

"Handle what?" Lynx asked getting really scared.

"Well, High Max and I both agree that this friend is getting in the way of your duties. I just wanted you and Luna to cut ties, but it seems High Max has other ideas," Lynx turned around and was running out, "And where are you going?"

"She's still my friend, and I can't let anything happen to her! I won't attack High Max, but I have to at least get Luna to somewhere safe," Lynx ran out of Issac's office to where Luna was.

Luna was starting to get tired from all the running. She didn't see High Max behind her so she decided to take a breather.

"Kid, you gonna be okay?" Xerox asked from Luna's Hunter VG.

"Yeah," Luna panted. She looked around, relieved to not see High Max, "I might be able to jump on the Wave Road from here."

"Then let's get going!" Xerox shouted. Luna nodded and held her hand up, unaware that High Max was right behind her. Before she could shout her Transcode, and before High Max could fire, Kitty ran up to Luna and pushed her out of the way of the coming blast.

"Kitty?" Luna asked in shock.

"Come with me, quickly!" Kitty said pulling Luna's arm. She lead Luna to the playground and hid under the slide, High Max following them.

"Kitty, what's going on?" Luna asked.

"I'll explain later!" Kitty said looking out for High Max.

"I need an answer now! That thing is trying to kill me and it looks like you know what's going on!"

"I promise, I'll explain later," Kitty turned to Luna, "No matter what, you have to trust me."

In any other situation Luna would have found it hard to trust her, but right now she had no choice. Also Kitty seemed to have a connection with this strange man hunting her. She nodded her head, "Okay Kitty, I trust you.

Kitty smiled slightly and ran out to face High Max.

"High Max, stop!" Kitty said catching High Max's attention.

"Kitty Munroe, please state the reasoning for your aberrant behavior," High Max requested.

"Hurting humans isn't in your programming!" Kitty stated, confusing Luna a bit. How did she know his name? How did he know her name?

"While that is the case, ensuring the safety of Neo Arcadia is. You Kitty, have begun to display increasingly aberrant behavior ever since you engaged in a friendship with Luna Platz. I have deemed that the best course of action is the destruction of Luna Platz."

"I won't let you hurt her!"

"You are bound to the rules of Neo Arcadia yourself. You are prohibited from attacking me. While I am prohibited from engaging you in combat, I am able to force you to move in order to accomplish my goal."

Kitty suddenly got a little worried looking at High Max approaching her. She knew that High Max was about to get to Luna unless she did something, but could she risk that? What would Luna think after seeing her? How could she face Issac?

Rogue was on the Wave Road watching this and was getting really irritated. Why was she just standing there? Why didn't she just Wave Change?

"Come on! Reveal your true self! Show your pride!" he shouted, getting more and more irritated watching this.

Kitty closed her eyes ready for the worst, only she noticed it didn't come. She opened her eyes and saw Luna and Xerox standing in front of her, Xerox ready to fight, and Luna with the Visualizer on.

"L, Luna? What are you doing?" Kitty asked.

"I trust you," Luna said, "Now it's your turn to trust me!" Luna then turned to Xerox, "Xerox, now!"

"I sure hope you know what you're doing," Xerox said flying behind Luna, who held her hand in the air.

"Transcode 666! Zero!" Xerox embraced Luna from behind and they were both engulfed in a red light, soon to be replaced by Zero. Kitty looked at Zero in shock, horrified by her biggest fear coming true.

"Luna Platz, identified as Transcode 666, Zero. You have interfered in Issac's plans and he requests your deletion," High Max stated.

"He can just try it, but I'm not going down that easily!" Zero shouted. She took one more look at Kitty, who was frozen in fear, and then faced High Max again getting in a fighting stance. She then shouted...

"Wave Battle! Action!"
