Shonen raced through the old dirt roads eventually making it to the asphalt roads of the city, praying that there was little to no traffic on the streets.
"come on come on... the one time i really need to be somewhere and this place seems like it's a million miles away" she whispered to herself then breathed a sigh of relief as the university came into view.
Quickly, she dismounted Zero's landchaser and dashed through the doors making a bee line to where her hall room was.
...quietly sneeking inside, she managed to grab a seat in the second to last row as the professor gave a brief description of what was ahead for his students. Glancing up, he noticed Shonen fussing with her bag in the back of the room.
"...well... it seems like somebody doesn't know how to arrive on time..." the Professor spoke instigating scattered chuckeling eminating from around her.
...Shonen replied to the laughter by rolling her eyes...
"you should take solice in the fact that i and everyone else in this University... the world.. has a great graditude to you and the orginization whence you came, so i will not have you marked as late." he spoke again causing Shonen to blush.
Shonen was just about to speak, when a voice called out from the other side of the room
"...i can't believe i'm hearing this... you're commending her for being late just because she's a hero? if you knew her true history... you would not be so ready to make her feel good about herself.
Shonen's eyes turned to the voice as did the rest of the class.
She noticed a young male sitting in his seat, his arms folded, not showing any sign of remorce for what he said.
"what the hell are you talking about? what history?" Shonen snapped.
The young man rose to his feet and pointed at her.
"... you're a reploid killer... not a hero... just like Zero... the only difference is that he was programmed that way.. what's your excuse? ... oh yea, that's right you were trying to get X's attention by killing... then kissed and made up in more ways than one... you are SUCH a hipprocrite!"
Shonen's anger grew..."JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
The man smiled...
"you don't remember me...do you?"
"...should i?"
"...my name is julian... julian Wily... and i was almost a victim of your rampage so many years ago... i was only three when you slaughtered my reploid caretakers..." julian snapped back.
Confusion crossed her face... leading to Professor Enzo clear his throat.
"..Julian... that's enough...you were invited to join this school on the premis that you would behave yourself... not attack one of my students."
Julian glanced back towards Professor Enzo, then turned to face him and bowed.
".. i am sorry i lost my temper... i assure you though.. it will be the last outburst from me...i wish i could say the same for your brother. " whispering the last part as he drew his eyes upon Shonen.
She gasped
"oh no... X"
Lazily X shuffled across the floor making his way to the living room, anxious to be able to, after years of fighting, be able to just sit and vegetate in front of the t.v.
Sinking into the couch, he turned on the television and began to flip through the many, many channels. Eventually stopping on some kind of science fiction space exploriation program..X chuckled at the program..
"...this has got to be an old repeat... they don't use transporters like that anymore.." we spoke in a half whisper then glanced over to the door, hearing a soft knock eminating from the otherside.
"..visitors? now?" he wondered to himself, pulling himself from the couch and made his way to the door.
"who is it?" he called out, waiting for a response holding the doorknob intently.
"...my name is Simone.. i'm one of you neighbors from down the road. i seen you and your friends move in the other day... i didn't have the chance to welcome you that day.. so i'd figure i would stop by today."
Breathing a small sigh of relief, X turned the knob, letting Simone enter with a gift.
She gently pushed the gift towards X. then smiled
"..it's a fruit basket... i hope that's fine.. you know with you being reploids and all."
X chuckled.
"no, it's fine we can eat.. and my sister is a human...so..."
Simone looked puzzled.
"...really? that;s so interesting...what else can you do?" Simone questioned, looking interested.
" Well.." X began as he turned to set the basket on a nearby table, "..we.." Suddenly, X felt himself get grabbed from behind and launched into the air landing on a glass coffee table.
X quickly got to his feet, turning towards Simone.
"...what the hell has gotten into you?... are you mad?" his voice rising as he spoke.
Simone had no reply... quickly advancing on him giving X no time to dodge out of the way, Simone shoved him hard causing X to fall to the floor once more, landing in the glass of the broken coffee table.
X tried to regain his composure, but had no time to counteract as he felt his body dig deeper into the glass as Simone sat onto of him, pinning his arms at his sides with her legs.
X began to panic... Zero and Axl were gone to Giga City and Shonen was back in manhattan. he couldnt recall his armor.. there was no time to think.
"...w...what do you...want?"X studdered as he questioned Simone.
Simone simply smiled as she grabbed him by his t-shirt collar and ripped it in two, revealing his bare chest.
X's eyes opened wide, and struggled to break free..
"...nnn..." was all he managed to say as Simone dug her nails, sinking them into his flesh. X hissed at the pain her nails were causing him.
"...you have a power core reactor in your chest.. do you not?"
Panic crossed his face...
"...w...why..." once again only managing a few words as Simone dug into his chest deeper. X cried from the pain as he felt it grow more intense.
"... i want your power core... it doesn't belong to you... it belongs to my bloodline... you shouldn't have had it in the first place." She spoke with an evil tone to her voice as she dug deeper. ".. and you're gonna give it to me whether you like it or not..."
X shook his head from side to side... screaming at the top of his lungs.
"No!.. get off of me! Somebody! anybody please...help me!" praying that somebody heard his cries of help and hoped this nightmare would be over.
Simone laughed.
"..no one will hear you ... this is the middle of no where... but there's no need to fear death... your sister will be waiting for you..."
X felt blood start to drip down the side of his chest.
X's eyes flashed white followed by an un expected alchemaic energy wave eminate from his body releasing Simone from holding his body captive.
Simone flew a few feet, slamming her head on the door.
X tried to get up, but winced at the injury on his chest, only managing to get to his knees.
".. well i guess the stories are true... my brother will be excited by this news..."Simone smiled as she spoke with a dark voice.
"w..who are you?" X questioned once again... "and what have you've done to my sister?" X demanded.
Slowly Simone made her way to the door, she swung it open, turned once more back to X.
"... my name is Simone Wily... and you... my prototype friend will soon wish you were never born a Light."
