Years of 20XX, a hundred years had passed since X was discovered. Now in this world, where human and Replica Android known as "Reploid" a living together in the world.

Also a hundred years has passed since the war, known as "Maverick Wars", against the dysfunctional of reploid called as the"Maverick" that cause by maverick virus, make the system inside the reploid rebel against the "Three laws of Robotics" and attacking human kind. Many human and an innocent reploid become a victim to this wars for almost hundred years. And yet there is never been any anti-virus discovery to prevent the virus for spreading and malfunctioning the reploid all around the world. The only way to prevent is by destroying or terminating the maverick itself.

X, the model of reploid that is created is fighting the maverick, to gain a peace and a living harmony of human together with the reploid. He's survive almost in the recent maverick war to the last war, fighting against the New Generation Reploid with his partner Zero and the new generation prototype Axl. Still fighting against the maverick together with all his friends whose fought along with him not only the maverick but also a rebellion that's accrued not long time ago. Yet for human to scare to the reploid is still inevitable but still not any human who want to destroy the reploid itself due to hatred. And for the reploid itself, not aware if their extinction is drawing near…

Mission 2 of Memento Mori : The Mission….

Jakob Orbital Elevator : Area-Moon-Base

Initiating…

Now Loading…

Activation begun…..

It's been a long time ago, or maybe it's feel like yesterday, the event that happen to himself, the fight against sigma, the one who control his family like a pawn and make him to terminate them all, including the one he care most. And also Lumine, the new generation reploid who had go maverick on his will, he's really scare if he also can become the thing he despises most. But he'd not let the memory bother him while doing his mission

The mission is really simple, gather all the information in the moon-database regarding the event of all the new generation reploid become a maverick. Actually he MUST not go alone in this mission, but the reploid who have the resistance against the maverick virus is only him, X and Zero. But X and Zero is on solo-mission too. Beside for him, it's become an opportunity to prove to X he can become a maverick hunter.

'Even after all that's happened, X still not whole-heart to accepting him'. He's sighed while walking through the moon-base, holding his gun in both arms to aware if there's still a maverick in the moon-base, even there has been an isolation of moon-base for almost a year. He must stay cautious. Walking through the area alone, doing nothing and there's not anything happen can be really boring not even any maverick appear, he'd need a challenge, maybe he'd go to the database area quickly to finished the mission. The faster the better. 'Yeah Right…'

'Let's see, according to the map, the data-base room should be in underground area, well might get into it faster.' But, seem the elevator is not working so all he'd to do by using a tunnel that's leading him down to the underground area.

Within a minute he's already in the tunnel to the underground, unfortunately the tunnel is dark, due to the cut-off energy and never been in used for long time. He can't see anything with only his optical sensory. So he's activating his night mode sensory and now can see his surrounding even all he can seen in flash-green color.

'Man, it's seem like never been used for anything… 'He can seen, that the tunnel has not been repair or even used ever again. It's full of metal-scrap, big-small size rock everywhere and dust . The damage it's everywhere, from the ceiling above him, to his surrounding, and also full of hole from small to big that it's fit he size to get in and he can see what kind of room or path inside the hole. he can even see a damaged wall and metal hanging above him, he'd had to be careful or his head would get hit by that.

The longer he's walking, the deeper he get, the unknown area he get. He don't recognized this area. To be true, he's never been here before, even when they're tried to save Lumine from Sigma clutched and the fact Lumine is the one who's controlling Sigma. They're only get into the upper area, never the underground one. It's clicked in his mind that, he can guess the reason why the mission must not go alone. The Underground area is the unidentified one except the upper. Even when they had the map of all area of the moon-base, no-one maybe except Lumine or the new generation reploids whose are working in the moon-base ever been here. And that's mean there is a possibility of maverick inside the underground area.

Thinking like that make his operating system becoming anxious, he can hold the excitement in his processor, which mean he'd get an action beside gathering the data and information inside the moon-base.

"Come out, come out whenever you're…It's time to be kicked maverick." He's speaking to himself while keeping an eye to his surrounding and going to the database room.

"What do you mean that's he go alone? This mission is too dangerous!"

"Relax X, The kid know what he can do.."

"How can I relax! The area is unknown and we're never been in there before, even when we fight Sigma for the 8th time in the moon-base!"

"X, you're have to calm yourself, the kid is not a kid anymore, he'd grown up, give him a chance.."

"But Zero…"

"No But, X all we can do is just watch and takes action when something is not right."

"…"

"X..?"

"Fine….But when something not right I'd take action right away and don't get in my way, Zero"

"Whatever you said X…and I'm coming with you.."

"Thank you, Zero…"

He can felt his breathing system in rhythms of excitement, his finger is itching while holding his weapon. But he must not get his excitement to bother the mission. The high priority of the mission is to get the data out of the moon-base. Then he can quickly back to Maverick Hunter Headquarter, his home.

Home…Truth to be told, it's his home now. He's remember when he'd the first time known what does the word 'home' mean, not like in the dictionary of his knowledge database, but more specific to said where he's really belong. His mentor, his caretaker is the one who teach him the meaning of home truly are.

Red…

He's really miss him now, if Sigma didn't interfered or used the Red Alert maybe it's still his home now, even there is an annoying one, like Vanishing Gunggaroo or …

…..

That's weird, something is not right in his memory-drive, he can't recollecting anything of his friends in Red Alert beside Red and that annoying kangaroo. He'd remember, there's supposed to be eight reploids with high position beside Red and hundred of reploids subordinate for each of the leader. Reploid memory-drive should had their memory of their recollection attached forever right? Except maybe it's damaged and don't have a backup driver or erase or deleted on purpose even accidentally, Right?

He's tried to remember what else beside the two of it….Let's see, Tornado Tonion…Soldier Stonekong…..Wing Crowrang…Snipe….

The sound of falling rock snap out of him from his trance, his sensory tried to pick if something happen, but none…

Maybe after this mission over, he'd have to talk to the Lifesaver about this….later….Right now there is a mission he'd complete.

The sound of whirling machine and a beeping voice is audible to his audio system; he's already in the database room. The room in his optical view, is still active not like the outside room or the tunnel he'd through. There's still an electricity power that keep maintaining the room. While the outside is dark, here bright and he can see without his night-mode.

There's a big screen in the front of him and also the operator system. The screen is still function, keeping track and maintain the orbital moon-base system. His hand gracefully typing with fast velocity while his eyes is watching in the screen.

'Insert the ID…..And the password….'He'd type the code that's given to him in the briefing before he's started the mission.

'ID accepted…'

'Welcome to the moon-base data store….' The screen is showing the loading system, while started to active.

'Insert the keyword to search…..'He's typing the information he wants.

'Keyword accepted….' The system is searching through the database, looking the data with the similar keyword that Axl had input.

'Loading the data…..' The screen is showing the data that Axl want, and while waiting for the data appear, he's preparing the cable to saving the data inside his memory store and insert it into the mother board system.

'Saving the data…' The screen showing a downloading function, and all he'd to do is waiting until it finish.

'10% of 100% is downloading…..' Unfortunately, is not the time he can wait and feel safe….

"DZING!" The sound of energy bullet ringing through his audio system and feel pain in his cheek alerting him, there is an intruder. ' Damn why it's in time like this!" Then the sounds of foot come closer approaching to him.

'35% of 100% is downloading…..'

"X! There's a signal of maverick's coming closer to where Axl are!"

"Zero!"

"I know X, Let's Go!"

"Alia! Activating the teleport system!"

"I'm on it X! Be careful!"

"Roger That! Come on Zero! No time to waste!"

"What do we've here. Seem there's really an intruder snoop around…" The sound of foot approaching where he'd stand.

'44% of 100% Downloading…..'

Damn… Why can't it get faster…! In the time like this. He'd tried to see where is the enemy, unfortunately the enemy is just watched him beneath the shadow. Seem like it's tried to identify something. He'd had to be caution, there should be more than one enemy.

'45% of 100% Downloading…'

"We're already considering that soon or later the Hunter will come to here, regarding the event that happens in here, but never this soon." Said the mysterious reploid, but its never came out beneath the shadow. Like its trying to hide its identity. "We're expected it to be either the maverick hunter X or Zero, instead they're sending you, how fortunate.."

"….?" Axl titled his head a little, trying to process and understand the meaning for the sentence. From the voice its seem belong to a male type reploid and seem its playing with its word.

"No matter, how about you coming with us? There's a matter we must discuss. Regarding the hunter too." The maverick right hand became visible out of the shadow, showing its white glove and seem trying to invite Axl to whatever they'd discuss about.

"And how about if I don't want to?" Axl is chalange the maverick, by reject the offer which became a more dangerous the outcome.

'60% of 100% Downloading…'

"Then we'd use force…..Get him!" With that order, 2 reploids leap out from the corner of chamber, and run toward him.

His guns tried to pinpoint the enemy location, following their movement. 'Focus, follow the target…...Now!' Sound of gunshot, a body collapsed and exploded can be heard inside the room.

'I'd missed one..' His eyes following the other movement in his left sight, ready to shoot again….But….

"Klank!" The sound of falling gun can be heard, he's holding his right hand, felt the injury. 'Can it get faster! Come on, just a little longer!

"You're better surrender now, prototype.." A chuckle can be heard near the shadow, while his head following the movement from the shadow and the maverick that's slowly walking toward him. He'd tried to backup but behind him is a dead-end.

'88% of 100% downloading…'

"How…." His pupils slightly wider and before he can finished the sentence, the sound of energy blast can be heard .He can see the maverick who'd come closer to him, had been hit in his mid-section and exploded. He'd tried to cover his vision from the smoke of explosion, when his vision get better, he had not feel and see the one in the shadow, only silhouettes in front of gate that he is aware already open. He is recognized the silhouettes and before he can shout it, it's already calling him first.

"AXL!" A shout can be heard within the range, which belong to none other than the maverick hunter X

"X, Zero! You're back!" Axl yelled back in delight, happy to see the two hunter.

'95% of 100% downloading…..'

He can see an anger and concern in X eyes, before he could explain more,he was cut off by Zero's said.. "How is the downloading of the data?"

"It's almost finish, just a few minute again" Answer Axl, his eyes darted to the screen to know how much time its left before the downloading of data can be finished

"When we're back to HQ, there will be a lot of explanation about this, understand?" X tried to hold an iritate in his voice, he must stay calm in any situation..

"Yes, X…" He can feel the iritate that X hold through his voice, just hope he's not burst out when they're get back to HQ. He'd be ready about that when they'd came back to the headquarter.

'100% of 100% downloading…..'

'Downloading complete…'

'Preparing for extraction the data….'

'Data's downloaded…..'

"It's finished.." He unplug the cable and put it back into his system.

"Come, its time to go back" Said X, he's take hold of his communicator.

"Alia, we're headed to HQ now, mission is completed" X is speak throught his communicator, to notify the navigator about the situation.

"Roger that X" Answer Alia.

"Let's go.. Axl?"

"…."

"Axl!" X shout at Axl, trying to snap the kid out of his blank trance.

"…Oh right, …I'm coming!" His eyes darted into the shadow but found no one. 'That voice….Where I'd hear it before?' he's recognized the voice but not known where. And then the blue light can be seen surrounding them, and gone. After the three of gone, the other silhouette come closer to where the hunters are disappear .

'Never thought they'd coming.'

'Oh well, might execute the other plan…' With that, the mysterious reploid already gone within the shadow.
