soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo X is in trouble now right?

“ Maverick Hunter X!”

“Y-yes Commander Signas sir!?”

“Do you have any idea how much damage you’ve cause to not only the Maverick Hunter’s reputation but to yourself as well? The little stunt you pulled yesterday was not only reckless but dangerous as well. Innocent bystanders could have been hurt in the crossfire and what’s worse people are questioning whether or not you have the maverick virus. Which I shouldn’t have to explain to you why that’s a problem.”

“Yes Commander...I got careless. I should have reported back to headquarters as soon as there was a problem. I...I’m not sure what came over me.”

“Yes you certainly should have. As punishment, you can consider yourself suspended from active duty until we can clear up the mess you’ve caused. You will not be called out on any missions during that time and you are forbidden from leaving this base. ” 

“S-suspended!? But Commander Signas who’s-”

“This is not up for debate X! You are to stay here at headquarters do I make myself clear, X!”

“Yes Commander Signas, sir.”

hey signas how is that cryptid signal going?

“As much as I hate the idea,” he sighs. “I’m working on it.”

[infinityrockman]

Well I do have an idea! This Cryptid is very old, and perhaps taking an old approach would work. Make a skylight, and shine it on a cloud with the word 'cryptid' or something. That will sure as hell draw them in. Next best idea to get their attention is probably with some sort of call out. A radio wave or signal maybe?

“As ridiculous as it sounds we’ll see if we can get in contact with this entity. Thank you for your assistance civilian.”

[infinityrockman]

If Zero cant go, I have an idea. COMMANDER SIGNAS! Have you heard of 'The Black Armored Cryptid'? Thi9s thing has been known to rip through Mavericks and never stop. They have fought down ride armors, battle machines, and even got into a fight with Vile more than once and won, has fought Sigma and escaped alive. This cryptid has also fought humans, so no oen is sure who or what they are. But if you need someone to bring X in, why not try and contact them?

Signas was quiet for a moment, deliberating on what actions to take. He wanted X apprehend but this 'Cryptid' seemed a tad agressive. Though perhaps agression was necessary? Would Signas really be willing to work with someone who sounds so reckless and worrying.

"I'll see if we can get in contact with this cryptid. Perhaps this individual would be willing to work out a deal. If you have any insight on how to get in contact with this creature let us know."

From what little info people do have it’s a masked figure and definitely not fitting the description of Red Alert, some say their a ghost but more people claim to have been spotting this masked figure lately so somethings out there

“Understood, I’ll have my operators keep a listen out for any more reports on such a mysterious entity.”

[infinityrockman]

I’m sorry Signas sir but barely any news stations are covering anything about the Red Death, it’s mostly the internet, some say he’s a myth but whoever it is, seems to be connected to at least a single Mavericks death, that’s what they say anyways

“I see. Well that would certainly explain why I haven’t gotten any reports of such an individual….Could this be a second coming of Red Alert?" 

[infinityrockman]

“Zero you will do absolutely no such thing. Your injuries are still recovering.”

“Ah come’on Signas you cannot be serious!?”

“I am very serious, now go back to the med-bay this instant before I have someone weld you down there.”

“Y-yes Commander...”

[infinityrockman]

Any updates on Red Death X?

“At the moment we haven’t received any new reports-”

Before Signas could finish his report a call came through on the communicator.

“Commander Signas, come in Commander we’ve located Maverick Hunter X. We’re going to attempt to apprehend him.” a voice called out as if they had been running. Signas’ eyes widened in surprise, he quickly pressed a button on the console in front of him and responded to the transmission.

“This is Commander Signas, do no engage with him! If you’ve located Megaman X can you verify your coordinates?” he replied gesturing to a nearby Operator to get ready.

It took a moment for the voice to respond, the sounds of blaster fire and shouting could be heard. “Hunter X is on the attack! He’s too strong for our numbers,” a break between the yelling for a volley of shots, “Requesting backup!”

A hiss of anger left Signas’ lips. “Damn it I said don’t engage!” His fist pounded the desk in front of him. Another round of blaster shots filled the communicator.

“S-somethings happening sir it looks like...h-he’s charging some kind of weapon!”

“Never mind that, fall back now!”

Another round of gun fire.

“We’re trying to fallback Commander but we can’t seem to shake him! He’s using some kind of strange cannon we’ve never seen before!?”

Another round of gun fire and the sudden thrum of an explosion that seemed so loud that it could somehow be felt despite being so far.

“Unit 27. Come in Unit 27!” Signas yelled over the comms. However, there was no reply. Just the somber static filled silence. Though the silence was quickly filled with a familiar and yet distinctly malicious chuckle.

“Hehehehe, Hi Siggy, this is X. Next time you want to send a search party out to find me, make sure they’re tougher than a bunch of low life dogs.I barely had any fun.” a rapturous bark of laughter echoed the communications and judging from his tone he’d had a blast. Literally.

“ Aaaanyway, I’m not busy right now so if you want to send anymore toys my way I’ll be thrilled to tear them to bits. Ciao~” the connection cut out abruptly with the sound of a sickening crunch.

The room went silent again. No one knew what to do or say in this situation.

“Commander, we have the Unit’s last coordinates.” the Operator finally managed to pipe in through the silence. Signas opened his mouth to reply, however,

“Good. Leave X to me...I’ll go stop him myself.”
