Me: Why do you not review? WHY DO YOU NOT PRAISE OR HATE THIS STORY! ALL YOU DO IS PRESS A BUTTON AND TYPE A FEW WORDS!

Tina: Can I do the disclaimer?

Me: No.

Tina: -

Me: ALL RIGHT, JUST SHUT UP!

Tina: Yay! Lord Dread Raven only owns me, X, Shadow, and Havel. NOTHING ELSE!

Chapter Three

Roots of Fear and Worry

X pondered their next move. He gnashed his pointed teeth.

I severely underestimated the Resisty. He thought. That won't happen again. Everything I do has succeeded at one point or another. And yet, he was not satisfied. What am I not aware of? I know nothing is missing… An emotion, rare to Irkens passed through his mind. Uncertainty. It gnawed at his Squeedly Spooch like a parasite, always there, causing him to wonder; am I becoming a defective? Could I be developing…emotion…? No… I must stay cold. I am X. The Hunter. I would kill anyone for my Tallest. Destroy any planet… Betray anyone…

Wouldn't I? Another emotion filled him. But this one caused a violent shiver to run through him.

Fear.

X had never once before felt fear. Certainly he knew about it. He had seen others filled with it. At the end of one of his razor-sharp PAK legs. And he had never failed to end their fear with a lightning-fast slash.

(A/N: Sorry, forgot to mention a description of what X's PAK has… I can't say much, but I will say that it is jet-black and has six legs rather than four. It also has cloaking abilities.)

But now, fear filled him as a whole. Fear of the unknown thing lurking beneath the icy exterior.

Lurking, and feeding.

And slowly gaining power…

DUN DUN DUUUUNN! Suspenseful! Sorry for the shortness of this chapter. Soon, I'll try some action. And maybe a chapter as big as Dib's unnaturally sized head!

Dib: MY HEAD IS NOT BIG!

Me: SHUT UP! Your chapter comes later. Then you can tell us about your head! R&R or I'll send Nny to come after you.

Nny: Do I ever make a cameo?

Me: You become an important…ish character! Now end the chapter! END IT NOW!
