Rock left Robot Rescue, telling most of them he was going to visit some ally friends. In reality, he was hoping to run into that ninja again and get a few things off his chest. This was something even ProtoX shouldn't get involved in because he still had a problem with betraying the Maverick Hunters.

After walking a mile down the city, Rock sat on a bench at a park, elbows on his legs, his head resting on his hands, listening to the children playing far behind him. The thought of actually trying to convince Robot Rescue to turn over was weighing heavily on him because most of the volunteers are still afraid to do so...even the President despite all the artiliary known to man he had holed up inside of him.

Sine looked at the departing Kage. Sandstar puts his hand on her shoulder.
"You know he is right. What if Zero does start to kill off his troops after this war is over and he wins? Even if we somehow manage to escape, would you be satisfied knowing we might be some of only a handful of survivors?" Sandstar asks her.
"Sand, at this point, I don't know what to think."
Sandstar turns around and starts to head back towards the base.
"Atleast think about what he is saying. For now, lets just get back to base."
Looking off in the direction Kage disappeared in one last time, Sine turns and follows Sandstar back.


Posted by Corvus on 13.06.2003 at 08:29 AM:

 

There was a chilling wind suddenly starting up around Rock before Kage made his prescence known,leaping down from a lamppost.

"still comtemplating old pal?"


Posted by White-Jet on 13.06.2003 at 09:16 AM:

 

Rock: Somewhat.... But even if I do want to get away from Zero, I still have the whole center to worry about. Even the armed reploids are too scared to leave.


Posted by Corvus on 13.06.2003 at 09:31 AM:

 

"what size do you think the maverick...heh our base is,its easily large enough to keep your guys sheltered"


Posted by White-Jet on 13.06.2003 at 09:48 AM:

 

Rock: I guess, but trying to convince a center full of humans and reploids is going to be difficult. I mean, I am mostly a hero during times where X and Zero couldn't fight, but even a hero can't always get what he wants....


Posted by Fier on 16.06.2003 at 08:46 PM:

 

As soon as they got back to base, Sine and Sandstar split up. "Ok Sine, get some rest, we are going to have a long talk when we both can talk straight."
"But Sand-"
"Now Sine."
"Oh, alright, for now."
Sandstar watches Sine until she goes down the stairs to her quarters. "Sorry, Sine, but Im going to find out a little bit more about the Mavericks," he whispers under his breath as he heads back out.


Posted by Sanik on 17.06.2003 at 06:31 PM:

 

"Damn this is boring!" Flair complained, not having any luck. "Where's a maverick when you need one?" She landed in a small community and set her hand ablaze to scare them. "Show me any Mavericks you house! Now!" She yelled at some guy.


Posted by Corvus on 17.06.2003 at 06:43 PM:

 

An old man waddled out.

"excuse me son,could you speak a bit louder,the years have been cruel to my senses"

---

Kage shrugged.

"perhaps,but your going to have to make a decision sooner or later...in this war Zero has made all accountable..."


Posted by White-Jet on 18.06.2003 at 09:59 AM:

 

Rock looked down, rubbing one of the tails in his ribbons.

Rock: I guess I could work something out.... (He gets up and turns to leave)


Posted by Sanik on 18.06.2003 at 12:02 PM:

 

"Oh you have yet to experiance true cruelty," Flair growled, "if you do not tell me where I can find mavericks."


Posted by Corvus on 18.06.2003 at 12:04 PM:

 

"huh...oh just down the road theres a shop there,fella sells them"

"sells them?"

"yea,parakeets,isn`t that what you wanted?"


Posted by White-Jet on 19.06.2003 at 09:58 AM:

 

"Are you crazy!?" the president cried when Rock came in and suggested joining the mavericks, "I so much as rip our contract with the hunters and we'll be the first people hunted down because we're the only robot repair center in the city!"

Rock: Please, at least give me half of the center that's willing to call it quits with this nightmare we used to call a savior to all of mankind! What we thought were kind soldiers are now nothing more than deadly monsters that will come after us no matter what we do after the war is over!

"Rock, I know you've been a hero for over the years when X and Zero haven't the stength to fight, but to have you coming in here and demanding that we switch sides now is certain suicide! I'm not going to have so much as even your own working place turn over that easily!"

Rock snarled and grabbed him by his business suit, yanking him to his face.

Rock: Listen, you cowering pile of circuits! How long do you think we'll last when the war is over! Zero isn't the kind of person we all trusted in the past! Even if we help him take out the mavericks, he'll still come after us for blood and entertainment! Do you want to risk that instead!?

The President stuttered as he looked at the determined look on Rock's face. He then dropped his head, sobbing. Rock sighed and threw him back in his chair.

Rock: Look, everyone is scared of what might happen if we leave now. I'm just asking that you allow those who aren't afraid to seek freedom to come with me. Even my lab are willing to risk an early death to get away from Zero. It's not just reploids working here. We have a bunch of innocent, defenceless humans who are shaking in the corner when they aren't working on an injured reploid.

"B-But...."


Posted by Fier on 19.06.2003 at 12:09 PM:

 

Sand was just walking around, looking for signs of Mavericks. "Geez, how am I supposed to ask them any questions if I cant even find one?" he mutters to himself as he continues his seach.



((oops, I cant believe I did that. Guess I was thinking more about Sine.))


Posted by Sanik on 20.06.2003 at 06:20 PM:

 

Flair almost exploded. Then managed to restrain himself.

"Fuck it." She snapped her fingers, setting the entire village on fire. "You're grandchildren can thank you for their scars, if they survive." And with that she took off in another jump.


Posted by Corvus on 20.06.2003 at 06:26 PM:

 

A beam of black carved through the air,just skimming past Flair as someone leaped at her.Red scarf trailing behind him,as the people on the streets struggled to control the blaze.


Posted by White-Jet on 20.06.2003 at 06:37 PM:

 

Rock groaned and left. He knew the president was someone you couldn't get in trouble even if he wanted to. But he did allow him to take his own lab (Who was eager to get away from Zero). When the President gathers up what courage he could muster, he and the rest of the lab would follow Rock (Whenever that happens).

When he returned to Lab 14 and gave the news, he noticed that ProtoX hasn't returned yet.

Fig: I guess he's still blowing his steam. We'll leave a note on the door when he gets back. I'm sure he too wants to get out of here as well.

Rock: I don't know...he seemed determined to help the hunters no matter how uncomfortable he felt or what might happen when the wars over.

Skie: You can do without him for now, Rock. I'm sure we'll run into him later.

Gato: Yeah! Let's get out of here before another Hunters comes in here and drops in on our conversation.

Rock was silent for a moment, but slowly nodded as they grabbed what they could carry (Including the incomplete program) and left.


Posted by Sanik on 20.06.2003 at 09:05 PM:

 

Flair was too shocked to do anything but continue her foreward momentum. The only thing going through her mind when she landed was that whoever had almost just killed her could have, but didn't.

In an instant she was back at the village.

"What the hell do you want Kage?" She was furious. "I'm gonna start killing these people one by one until you face me unlike the coward that you are!"


Posted by Corvus on 20.06.2003 at 09:15 PM:

 

Landing in front of Flair he folded his arms,scarf billowing in the wind.

"that was just a warning shot,tell me,do you know what the main objective a hunter has?"

"...."

"To safeguard those who cannot defend themselves..not to slaughter those who are weaker in combat just to draw out your foe....tell me,how can you dare to call me a coward when you pick on those who are defenseless?"


Posted by Sanik on 20.06.2003 at 10:18 PM:

 

"I don't give a shit about the hunters. Just watching out for number one." Flair crossed her arms. "I hate to admit it but Zero's more than able to kill me, and unlike you he'll do it."


Posted by Author X on 20.06.2003 at 11:53 PM:

 

Mai woke up with a small yawn, and looked out through the air where there used to be windows, and, for that matter, a wall. Right about then, she saw a large fire spontaneously appear far off in the distance. "Why do I get the uneasy feeling my new friend has something to do with that...?"
She idley flicked the cigarette stub that had been lying in her hand while she slept over in Crashmanga's direction.


Posted by Corvus on 21.06.2003 at 08:45 AM:

 

"and he will...do you really think a crazed madman will give a shit about who fought for him,after this is over there isn`t going to be anyone left standing,except for Zero unless my side defeats,you may be looking out for yourself in the short term,but in the long run your going to wind up dead if you stay by his side"


Posted by White-Jet on 21.06.2003 at 10:38 AM:

 

The Lab 14 group could see a something in the distance as they made their way towards the Maverick Base. Curious, they decided to follow after it and see what was going on.


Posted by Sanik on 21.06.2003 at 08:43 PM:

 

"...." Flair pouted, frusterated.


Posted by Fier on 21.06.2003 at 09:48 PM:

 

Still wandering around, Sandstar sees something in the distance, and much like the Lab 14 group, decides to investigate it. "Hmph. Finally some Maverick activity at last."


Posted by Solrana on 29.06.2003 at 08:21 PM:

 

Sine entered her somewhat destroyed room to find her roommate, Rayna, sitting on her bed looking bored.
"Where were you?" Sine asked, "You missed all the excitement."
The silver haired reploid sighed, "I was running a courier mission, long story, and I'm not supposed to share."
Sine shrugged as she sat down beside Rayna, "I'm tired, are you going to move so I can get some rest?"
Rayna moved to a battered chair. There was only one simple bed in the room, but since Rayna and Sine normally ran opposite shifts, they rarely had any problems. "I have a tech shift in an hour or so, so I guess I shouldn't get too comfortable."
"Whatever," Sine muttered.

Sandstar walked carefully down the street towards the group, when he heard a large crash from a nearby ruined warehouse. "What the hell?" He looked after the group for a minute, before turning to investigate the sound.
Sand drew a small explosive from his belt. As he pushed open the door, he heard a light tenor voice muttering something about unstable walls, and a large wave of dirty water covered him. Slipping on a puddle, he fell down face first into the puddle of water now surrounding him,"Ick!"
"What are you doing here!? I just mopped that area, and here you are getting it dirty again!" the voice demanded.
Looking up from his undignified position, Sand didn't see the owner of the voice until a small figure in blue and green armor walked forward from the shadows. "Who the hell are you?" Sand spat out.
"I asked first," the reploid knelt down to get a closer look at the Hunter.
"No... I..." Sand finally noticed several things about this particular reploid. First, the reploid was holding a mop defensively in front of him. Second, he had a small Maverick symbol on his shoulder armor. And third, the eyes of the the Maverick were not quite right, in fact, in Sand's opnion, the reploid was most likely very insane.


Posted by White-Jet on 30.06.2003 at 09:02 AM:

 

The group arrived at the village to find it still burning (OOC: If it still is, otherwise, I might change it). Gato put her huge paws to her mouth and whimpered like an upset cat while Rock and Fire-Star ran towards the village to help out those that haven't been burnt alive in the village.

EDIT: Whoops! I forgot, ProtoX didn't go with them ^^;;;;


Posted by Corvus on 30.06.2003 at 09:16 AM:

 

Kage took a good look at the scene,before taking one final glare at Flair and leaping off,going from building to building until he was out of sight.


Posted by White-Jet on 30.06.2003 at 12:28 PM:

 

Rock and Fire-Star emerged from the flames, carrying barely or seriously burnt civilians and handed them to Gato and Skie. But they weren't sure where to take them to get them away from the fire and out of any hunter's sight.


ProtoX leaned against a tree in the deepest part of the park. When the president told him that Lab 14 had left for the mavericks, he wasn't too pleased. He didn't think that Rock...his own brother...would convince the president to do such a thing. And what's worse was that Rock had most of the parts needed to not only revive X when the time came, but the program to overide any abnormal behavior in the hunters had also disappeared with them.

This upsetted him. He knows how dangerous mavericks are. If Rock were to give them the plans and the programing, they might corrupt it and ruin any chance of changing the world back to the way it was.


Posted by Fier on 01.07.2003 at 09:30 PM:

 

"Ah, crap..." Sandstar thought to himself as he stared at the crazy maverick, reaching for some of his grenades. "This could end up very badly indeed...."


Posted by White-Jet on 13.09.2003 at 12:34 PM:

 

ProtoX jumped off the tree and left the park. His main thought was to find Rock and save him from a mistake he blindly walked into. But why start there? Why not try and hack into Maverick Base, grab any informantion he could, and then plant a virus into the Computer Mainframe that will crawl around the network and bring some of the systems into a total melt down.

With this in thought, he returned to Robot Rescue and sat in front of the computer, typing like mad as a structural grid in the form of a centepide appeared on the screen in front of him.


Rock and Fire-Star managed to pull the last of the shaken civilians out of the fire while Gato and Skie tried to tend to them with a first aid kit that was emptying out faster than water down a drain.

Gato: What're we going to do!? We need more medical supplies for the humans!

Skie: If ProtoX was with us, he could've done something about this. But I don't think he even knows we left! I'll have to try and find a city around here with a store that sells more bandages. (He gets up and runs off)


Posted by Fier on 03.10.2003 at 02:44 PM:

 

After taking her nap, Sine gets up and starts to wander around the base, looking for Sandstar. "Hrm, thats odd," she says to herself. "He should have been back by now...." Looking at her watch, she starts wondering if she should get a search party to look for him.


Posted by Corvus on 03.10.2003 at 03:16 PM:

 

Slipping unseen through the corridors of the maverick base he seemed more a stealthy intruder than one of their soldiers,finally arriving outside Sigmas chambers he entered,looking at the frail withered form of the resistences leader.

"reminds me of France..."

"ah...Kage...I heard from several of the recon squads about the blaze"

"and?"

"I`ve sent as many people as I can spare to douse the flames...I only hope the hunters leave us be to save as many as we can"

"thats very doubtful...the blaze itself was instigated by them"

"yes I know,soon that area will be crawling with Zeros handpicked goons to wipe us out...thats why I want you there"

"I was planning on doing so anyway"

"then why did you come here?"

"I have a few things to pick up...also,we may have some new recruits joining...skeptical but I`m hoping they`ll open their eyes"

"...a strange thing fate...thank you for informing me Kage...I only wish I could join you all out there"

"About that,in the next week you should be repaired enough to walk around without help"

"one of the technichians tell you that Kage?"

Without a reply Kage was gone,Sigma sighing as he reclined further in his chair,his body almost useless at this time.

---

Pouring out from the manholes and basements came a hoard of what were termed as 'mavericks',each one carrying as much fire fighting tools as possible,many overweighted by the bulk of the old equipment but they all scrambled to get to the fire as fast as possible.Kage watched,high above them,raising an old fashioned telescope to his eye he gazed at the immediate area,keeping an eye on those who had realised the truth.


Posted by Fier on 03.10.2003 at 05:58 PM:

 

Finally not finding anyone to help her look for Sandstar, Sine walks out of headquaters and starts looking for him. "This is gonna be a long night.... "

Meanwhile.....
Sandstar was staring at the maverick he came across. The crazy reploid was still holding the mop like he will attack him with it.
"Now who the hell are you?" the maverick asks again.
"Fine, I'll tell ya," Sandstar replies. "My name is Sandstar. Now return the favore and tell me your name."
Still not relaxing, the maverick looks up at him and says "My name is Chore. Im the janitor around these parts."
"Um... ok... Chore, can you answer some questions for me?" Sandstar asks.
"Depends on what ya wanna know."
"Just some things about the Mavericks in these parts."
Chore thinks about this. "Hey, you aren't one of those Maverick Hunters are ya?"
Deciding that lying might be better then making this crazy maverick angry, Chore tells him no.
Nodding, Chore says, "Follow me, we'll talk in a more comfortable place."
He then turns around and walks deeper into the building. Look a little hesitant, Sandstar runs to catch up to him.

With the viral centepede completed, ProtoX hits a button, causing it to vanish. As it slithered through the network, searching for Maverick base, those who own computers began to notice three second blackouts before everything was back to normal. The centepede soon entered the first section of Maverick Bases computer system.

It's thirst for deletion caused it to go running around, looking for things to annialate with it's viral, venomous fangs.


Not waiting for Skie to come back, Rock, Gato and Fire-Star began hoisting the wounded one by one and dragged them somewhere away from the burning village. Some of the people were crying in fear. The trio tried to assure them that nothing bad was going to happen and that help will be here soon.


Posted by Corvus on 04.10.2003 at 09:17 AM:

 

The virus` thirst however was unsatisfied,due to the ruination of the maverick base the only computer systems that had been repaired and hooked up were inventory lists which had yet to be filled out.It caused some confusion to the few Mavs left defending the base but even Sigma barely noticed its influence.

---

Zero paced back and forth with his beam saber in his hand,looking over his shoulder several almost identical reploid soldiers looked back at him.

"that fire out there"

"....."

"Its not burning bright enough,three of you go and sort that small problem out"

"...."

Without a word the brainwashed armoured hunters walked out,a red tint in their eyes as they made their way to the village.

---

Catching sight of the approaching Hunter APC Kage quickly put away the telescope and tightened his scarf before leaping down onto the streets.The second his feet touched the ground he darted off down the road,to those watching as they were dragged from the blaze he seemed to disappear and reappear further ahead.Finally reaching his target location he lept into the air and formed his buster,firing a charged shot he carved through the APC with a black beam.The vehicle exploding with its cargo quickly dispearsing into the streets.Firing at him as he came to the ground.


Posted by Fier on 04.10.2003 at 02:50 PM:

 

As she was looking for Sandstar, Sine notices the fire in the distance.
"Hrm... that looks bad..." she mummers to herself. "And knowing Sand, he is probably right in the middle of it.."
Realizing that he might be there, she starts running to the village.


Posted by White-Jet on 04.10.2003 at 05:31 PM:

 

ProtoX sat in the dark room of the 14th lab, the only light in the room was the bright screen of the computer which the centepede was seeing crawling around and looking for more programs to eat.

This bore him. There wasn't that much information in the base and the centepede wanted to feed on something.

He decides to reprogram the centepede to do another task. If he can get it to fuse with the computers and cause the wires connecting them to rip out, grab any robot that came in contact with it, and drain their energy until their nothing but lifeless shells.

It was going to take him a while to do this, but he didn't care. The volunteers walking past Lab 14 noticed that there was barely any light on. They wanted to check and see what was going on, but something caused their guts to turn, forcing them to turn and walk away, pretending nothing was happening.


An abbandoned cabin a mile from the blaze served as a temparary resting spot for the injured civilions. While Gato and Rock staid behind to try and wash the burned wounds away, Fire-Star ran back out to pick up more people.

Since he's the only one who can change into a fire-proof robot at will, Fire-Star is the only one who can try and go back into the reckage and find anyone else that might be stuck in either a burning building or calapsed on the floor from heat excaustion or the choking from the smoke.

Rock stood outside the cabin, keeping an eye on any Maverick Hunter that happen to find the cabin and want to burn it down. He knew he couldn't last if a whole army came after him, but he risked it until help came.


Posted by Sanik on 16.10.2003 at 09:16 PM:

 

Flair had been walking along ancient highway. It was strange, seeing one so.. primitive, made of cement and completely on the ground. She shook her head, wondering.

She tried to give serious consideration to Kages words, but part of her kept insisting tha he was lying.

why would he lie? She wondered.

He's a maverick. They're all insane. Who else would go up agains Zero?

She flinched. Zero's name was like poison, even in her thoughts.

I'm not afraid of that arrogant butfu- She was interrupted from her thoughts when she noticed something at her feet. It sparked and sizzled, causing her to jump.

Kneeling down, she saw that it was some kind of reploid, severed in two. It had an opaque blue visor and a strange helmet. It also had a wheel instead of legs. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it had an encryption that read:

Lt. Icarus
3rd Squadron
Long live the Hunters

She opened the decesed's head and found that it was replaying the last few seconds of the hunter's life. It was the same landscape before her now, except viewed from the ground, on the side. Also there were buildings in the distance, and it was night.

"You'll never get away with this."

"What are you going to do Icarus? You're dead. Besides, you've killed mavericks all your life."

"I trusted you Zero!"

"That was stupid."

Static.

Over and over.

"You'll never get away with this."

"What are you going to do Icarus? You're dead. Besides, you've killed mavericks all your life."

"I trusted you Zero!"

"That was stupid."

Static.

"You'll never get away with this."

"What are you going to do Icarus? You're dead. Besides, you've killed mavericks all your life."

"I trusted you Zero!"

"That was stupid."

Static.
