FORGIVE MY TL;DR.

You are all... doomed...

Oww... his head was killing him. It wasn't unusual for reploids to repeat relevant data while on standby, just like human 'dreams', but this particular one has been all he has dreamed about since he woke up in HQ a few weeks ago.

Lumine defeated. One last attack. Light. And then that asshole's voice over and over again like a broken record.

You are all... doomed...

It was getting boring by now. You'd think nutjobs like him would've an ace under their sleeves a bit more... dangerous than repeating their last words inside one's head, Axl pondered. Of course he hadn't told a thing to both X and Zero. It was creepy enough to know that X never left his side until he opened his eyes, and kept hanging around him like he was some kind of dying patient. Not that he didn't like the attention, mind you, but...

Well, it was X. If Zero had done that, he'd totally blame that Lumine asshat.

You are all... doomed...

"I hear you alright, shut the fuck up", he muttered, quite annoyed. He'd need to be very, very subtle while asking Noctile about voices in one's h--

Wait.

Axl stood up and looked around. This... wasn't HQ. Actually, he was pretty sure this wasn't any place he knew at all. He didn't know much about religion and stuff, but the place looked like an old worshipping place. He could almost hear X's voice saying 'It's a Cathedral' in that weird, fatherly voice he used when he was not bordering a nervous collapse during missions.

The question now was: Why was he in an unknown building big enough to fit the HQ lab at least thrice? It all looked pretty real, and his scans didn't show any kind of energy around.

"This isn't a good time to go bonkers, Axl", he whispered to himself while securing the area. There was no signal in the comm. No way to contact his fellow Hunters. No life signs. In a nutshell? He was completely and positively lost. This wasn't his day week year.

Plop.

"Come on, say we're doomed once again, you bastard. I dare you", taunted the reploid as he grabbed his guns and turned to the door down the hall, where he had heard steps.

One thing was certain, he thought with a smirk. If things turned nasty, he'd sure as hell kick whatever was in the other side right to Lumine's rusting ass up in the moon.

"Bring it on!"

Yup, it has a heart...

Pretty awesome stuff, if you ask me. [Tail going from side to side now...]

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

[...he's not exactly knowledgeable on hearts.]

I guess. I've never heard about trees with a heart.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[That's terrible D:

Zidane shall fix that! XD]

I'd never seen one... It's a nice warm heart, if you ever needed something I'm sure the tree would help you. [He's ranting a bit.]

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

Are you an expert on trees?

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

I don't know much about trees... Unless climbing is knowing a lot.

But I do know a few things about hearts.

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

[Joking aside, just nods. He's tired... he didn't know he could feel this way. It's been a weird as hell day.]

I don't know much about it, unless having it in the good side counts.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Smiles a little...] Hearts are a difficult thing... [P-pauses!]

Did you already see the whole city? It's a huge place!

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

Yep, got a couple of weird looks and all. I guess being the new guy helps to that.

The coffin store guy was the weirdest look I've ever get ever. Then there was this small flying guy being all cryptic. Oh, and the kid with the gun. He brouht me to town some hours ago.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

Oh...

The coffin store guy had a tough life... So his heart is healing. [Thinky thinky...] We have two small flying guys, was it the one with long hair or the one with shorter hair?

And Django is very nice, I'm glad he found you!

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

The one with the long hair. I haven't met the other one. [Looks at the tree for a second, then goes back to Zidane.] nd yeah, Django's totally my kind of guy, but I'm biased because of the gun.

You're a vampire hunter too?

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

Oh... That one is scary. [He doesn't have a heart...]

He had been taking care of a place just like this one before he got moved here...

[And then shakes his head.] Ah no, I'm not... I'd do terrible at vampire hunting since I'm awful at white magic. [Scratches head...]

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

[Magic.]

White magic? Like, curing and healing and status changing and all that?

[...why is he so surprised? We have ZOMBIES AND VAMPIRES.]

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

W-well yeah. [T-this has to be the first person he meets that doesn't know about magic.]

I can do some magic, but my brother was far better at it that I will ever be.

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

[HE LIKED VIDEOGAMES OKAY. Red was one hell of a good gamer.]

....can you show me??

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you don't mind me kinda sucking at it.

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

You can suck all you want and I'd still find it awesome, humans don't have magic where I'm from.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Ohhh....... Well, he's not exactly a human, but let's leave that aside xD] All right then!

[And have the monkey showing off his awesome basic spells xD]

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

[He stares for a bit before his mouth breaks into a smile. There's no effect on him, of course, but hell, it looks incredible.]

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

I can use some black magic too! That probably looks cooler, wanna see?

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

You're on, buddy!

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[And now he shows off his fire-blizzard-thunder talent xDDD]

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

[You're the king of easy mode.]

That's so cool! I can almost see us three rockin' this place!

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[HE SAID ITY WAS COOL, OMG ME FTW.]

You three? [Curious little monkey.]

[shootingfirst.livejournal.com]

Yep! Django and me shooting til out trigger finger numbs and you in the background roasting undead ass all over the place!

Axl, dejas al monito chibi permanente xD

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[B-blink, omg.] That sounds like a lot of fun!
