Chapter 1: Give 'em the Axl!
Nana: Censors indicate a Maverick signature. Abel City Sector 25-East.

X: But that's right near the trashed highway. Why would Mavericks want to attack there of all places?

Zero: -shrugs-

X: Alia?

Alia: It does seem strange for Mavericks to attack such a place...

X: Zero, I think this would be your department.

Zero: -nods- I'm on it. -goes to ready his weapon-

Iris: Zero.....

Zero: Hm?

Iris: Be careful....

Zero: It's just another Maverick, I'll be fine.

Iris: I hope so....

Meanwhile....

(ABEL CITY SECTOR 25-EAST)

???: (hovering/flying therough teh air then stops on teh highway and looks around) Phew! So far so good! No one to stop me or bring me back!

Zero: -arrives on top of a building- Hmm... Wonder where is this Maverick?

???: (feels a rumbling as he starts running off) Now what?!

(he sees a Mechaniloid known as Mecha Scorpio land down)

???: Aww, fuck me!

Zero: Aha! There it is! -jumps down to attack the Mechaniloid-

???: Huh?!

Mecha Scorpio: (throws firearms from its tail)

Zero: -evades and jumps to slash at its tail-

Mecha Scorpio: (slashes with his pincers)

Zero: -evades and slashes at them-

Mecha Scorpio: (totally defenseless)

???:....(slowly starts to dash away while they're distracted)

Zero: -slashes at its head, finishing it- Hmph!

Nana: (through intercom) Zero! After that Reploid! I have a feeling he knows something about what's going on here.

???: (jumping up a tall building)

Zero: Got it! -pursues the Reploid-

(when Zero gets up, the Reploid isn't there, instead his ex-girlfriend holds a pistol to his head)

"Layer;" Don't move!

Zero: -grits his teeth, immediately recognizing "Layer"- You...BITCH!!! -quickly slices the pistol's barrel off and grabs "her" arm and pulls it hard the opposing way around "her" back- Think I should teach you the feeling...of being STABBED IN THE FUCKING BACK, WHORE!!!!!

"Layer:" (pulls out another pistol and starts shooting)

Zero: -takes the hand that's holding the pistol and crushes it with extreme anger and vengence, then slams "Layer"'s face down on the ground- What's the matter, bitch?! What happened to Dynamo, hmm?

"Layer:" Ugh....Dynamo....?

Zero: -shocked- ...Who the hell are you?!

"Layer:" Damn....ya got me....(turns back to the Reploid Zero was chasing)

Zero: -seething with anger- Oh there's some things I gotta learn you, boy. But right now, I need information about that Maverick I just destroyed.

???: Alright, alright! Get off me and I'll tell ya everything!

Zero: -growls, but gets off of him-

???: (gets up) That thing ya trashed was actually a Mechaniloid that Red obviously sent to get me!

Zero: Red? As in Red Alert? That vigilante group of wannabe Maverick Hunters?

???: Just them! And I was their best guy...till I left just now.

Zero: ...I'll take you back to base, talk more then.

???: Alright. Let's move before Red Alert finds us!

Zero: What's your name, anyway? I'm Zero.

???: My name's Axl.

Zero: -teleports himself and Axl back to base-

Chapter 2: Beginning the Duel
Axl: Whoa....this place looks amazing! It makes the Red Alert HQ look like a condo!

Zero: Glad you like it. Make yourself at home, you're gonna be here for a while.

X: (walks in) Nice work, Zero!

Zero: Save it X, we might have a bigger problem on our hands.

X: Huh? Who's this?

Axl: Name's Axl. Best sharpshooter around, and on Red Alert. Well.....I used to anyway...

Zero: Tells us why you left.

Axl: Because they were treating me like trash, giving me no respect....and they used me too! Used me to get some perfect data and steal it from me to power themselves up!

X: That....that's horrible!

Zero: Freeloaders...

Axl: Yeah....I was smashing bad guys and collecting data while they were yucking it up and taking all the glory....

X: Wait a minute....how could you be a data collector? You don't look like the kind of person taht would do something that boring....

Zero: Oh no, what he can do pisses me off, and you'd know exactly why...

Axl: (changes into a Decepticon-looking Maverick) Because I can copy the shape and abilities of Reploids and Mobians. (changes back) But it's far away from perfect. Even with my Copy Shot ability, I can only change into forms my own size. But for the rest, I can only get their abilities.

X: That's incredible....

Zero: -whispers to X- He has "the bitch's" data...

X: (acknowledges Zero, but doesn't reply) Where'd you learn this?

Axl: Uhh....that's the thing....even I don't know...

Zero: Huh...interesting...

X: How do you not know?

Axl: I just don't remember....all I remember is Red finding me in some sort of capsule and since then, I've been kickin' ass! (twirls his pistols around)

Zero: -looks at X-

X: This is inexcusable. Maverick or no Maverick, they can't get away with this!

Zero: -nods- But, should we have the Repliforce handle them? You do know, that unless they show signs of Maverick behavior, our hands are tied.

Nana: (through intercom) X, Zero! report to the control room, hurry! It's important!

X: Got it! (dashes off)

Zero: Roger. -dashes after X-

Axl: Wait for me! (dashes after them)

X: Alia, what's going on?!

(a fizzy transmission is being shown, but too hard to make out)

Alia: I'll try clearing it up... -trys to enhance the transmission-

Axl: (gasps) It...it's Red...!!

Red: You getting this hunters? I'm Red, leader of your friends here at Red Alert. I never imagined that our little friend would wind up in your hands. But in any case, I want Axl back. To receive his punishment for betraying us. Now I know he won't come back so easy, so how about this? Like you, we're hunters and we've trashed our share of Mavericks. So how about a duel; a duel to determine which group is the better hunters? I'm sure you won't mind if we use some of the Mavericks we've captured so far. So the last one standing wins. If you win, we'll surrender Axl to you. And if we win.....well, we'll leave that to your imagination....

Iris: (barges in) This is absurd! We cannot start another conflict like this! Think of all the lives at stake! You selfish person, we won't fight anyone! Not even for your own!

Red: Hmph. Pretty tough talk for a virginous corpse!

Iris: !?

Red; All we care about is getting Axl! So you just sit tight, my boy. HAHAHAHAH!!!

(transmission ends, as the alarm sounds and multiple red dots are shown on the map)

Zero: -growls- Send a distress call to Colonel! Repliforce needs to be in on this! Red Alert must be stopped!

Alia: On it! -sends a notification to Repliforce about what's going on-

Iris: (confused) (Repliforce....? Colonel....? But I thought--)

X: Damn it all! Why must this have to happen!?

Zero: Because this isn't a utopia...we've been over this, X... Just drop it for now, we have a mission, and we'll be working directly with Repliforce to take Red Alert down. They've been deemed to be a threatening organization that could go Maverick. Grab your gear. -goes to suit up-

Axl:....Wait! I'm coming too!

X: No, Axl. You're staying here! I don't want you getting killed in this!

Axl: Oh c'mon! I have to make them pay! I wanna get even for what they did to me! I can't forgive 'em!

Zero: No. You'll stay here. Let us handle them. Repliforce officers should be here soon for briefing.

Iris: But....Repliforce is--

General: (arrives) X....

X: General. (salutes) Long time no see...

General: (salutes back) Too long...

Colonel: -marches up next to General and salutes- I know you didn't call us in for a little reunion...

Zero: -salutes also- I wish we could have that, but first things first.

-they all end their salutes-

Zero: We have an insurrection with the vigilante group of wannabe Maverick Hunters.

Colonel: Red Alert?

Zero: Correct, we're uncertain if they have gone Maverick or not.

Colonel: Zero, in my expireince your decisions have been beyond reproach. Why do this then?

Zero: I'm taking all of the precautions. We have no idea what they're capable of.

Iris: B-brother...? Is it really you...?

Colonel: Huh? Uh... I-Iris...?

Zero: -suddenly confused with the sudden change of topic-

Iris: (approaches Colonel) Is it?

General: Iris?! But...how--?

X: General, what is it?

General: Iris is supposed to be dead

Everyone (but Repliforce): WHAT?!

Colonel: ...Iris... -walks up to her-

Iris: Brother! (hugs him tightly) Oh, brother! I thought I would never see you again!

Colonel: -hugs her back- Sister...

Zero: ...Now it all makes sense...all that talk of, "another time"...

General: (nods)

Cinnamon: (runs in, panting) Sorry....I'm late....I hope I...didn't miss anything important....

Axl: (stares at her for a fairly long time) Wow....

Zero: ...Anyway, we should get back on topic. Axl, tell the good General what's up with Red Alert, boy.

Axl: (too distracted by Cinnamon) (She's beautiful...)

Zero: -slaps Axl on the back- HEY! Talking to YOU here! Come back down here!

Axl: Huh?! Who?! What?!

General: Red Alert.

Axl: Oh...right...sorry. (shakes head a bit and starts telling them everything he just told X and Zero)

General: I see....
