I'm glad you guys are enjoying this. Lixi's taking her time so if she gets it done I'll do her part. It kind of split into two stories for this chapter, they'll merge again later though. I just need to type up Jet and and Reavers thing in New York. Once again, its not finished but just about.

Heh, I got grounded for a week, I'm not even supposed to be on the computer right now. If I find a moment where my dad is at work or something and not breathing down my neck I'll type up chapter 2. Its mostly Jet and Reaver, I'm thinking about having them rescue Lixi and the other maverick hunters with her, cuz right now Jet and Reaver finished New York but the hunters in the jungle just fell into a bad ambush. Chapter 3 should turn out nicely and I think you'll like chapter 2 as well. Look for an edit in chapter 1 as well, I'm including some mysterious blue blood of unknown origin, that will be important to the story far down the road.

I've added a number of mysterious things that will probably be overlooked until they become important to the story. And here is Chapter 2. Enjoy it and don't forget to leave comments.
X called everyone to the command room, standing before the crowd, he began, "Well, it looks like we fended off the attack but the base sustained heavy internal damage, so for now we'll be moving to the Infinity space station. So for now pack up your stuff and the hypershutle will deliver you to the station." After X finished, the hunters gabbed their things and boarded the ship, within the hour they were standing in the super station Infinity. Over the comm they heard, "Welcome hunters, please make yourselves at home in our advanced facilities, our training room is open and the stores have supplies for you, the rooms will be assigned shortly, but if you need a nap the lounge has some couches for sleep. Please enjoy your stay."
Reaver looked around, looking for the other reploids who came to his aid earlier back on earth, but didn't see them anywhere. "Bah, I'll thank them later." Leaning heavily on the scythe, as they didn't gave him the change to search for medical attention yet, he sets of in search for a sickbay... Jet breathes a sigh of relief as he thinks once more about the previous battle. Jet and his companion had cleared out the enterance breifly but the new mavericks were swarming in, with only a handfull of hunters, including one who had been lying on the floor gravely injured. It would have been hard to fight off that onslaught while protecting him at the same time. "I'm just glad X and Zero arrived when they did," Jet thinks. He woundered where that hunter was now, and where the female hunter who had helped him outside was. Jet sets off to find the training room of this new facility. "The scorcher is insanely powerful," thinks Jet, "but I'm not strong enough to use it. If I want to become more than a hinderance to the hunters, I need to train harder."
"There you go! Just keep the bandage clean and it'll be good as new very soon!" the Nurse said. "Thanks!" Lixi replied as she walked out the door, holding her bandaged arm. She had a nasty cut down the side of her upper arm and hadn't realized until she felt the blood leaking down her arm. But, it was all bandaged now and she was feeling good. She wondered what the time was. The battle had seemed to go on forever, yet only a few minutes at the same time. She looked around the station, trying to find the rookie hunter that had helped her, but couldn't see him anywhere. "Oh well. Guess introductions are going to be put off for even longer," she though to herself. "I wonder what's going to happen to us now?"
"There, that should do it, judging from your wounds, you have been quite reckless down there on earth. Just take it easy, you won't be the first rookie who gets destroyed because of overestimating himself..." the medic said. Feeling insulted by his words, Reaver left the sickbay without saying a word. He seemed to be completely recovered, those doctors really seemed to know what they were doing. Standing on the hallway, he isn't really certain where to go... He didn't really felt much for training, and he disliked large spaces like cafeteria's for reasons unknown, he decided to look for a library or a database of enemy's he would be allowed to access, as he still had much to learn about the world he lived in... considering it was only a few days ago he was awakened, with little to no knowledge programmed into him... But Reaver was unable a library. "No one ever values knowledge anymore..." he grumbled. Feeling a bit angered about this, he headed to the training room to let go some aggression.
After a day passes, the hunters are all settled in, injuries are taken care of and everyone has their rooms. Over the intercom they hear, "Commander X requests the following hunters to report to the mission briefing room," the speaker reels of a list of names including Jet's, Lixi's and Reaver's. Within 5 minutes the hunters are standing in the room, “Congratulations rookies on your first battle, no doubt many of you will do very well here, we had few casualties and not much damage was done to the surrounding areas, though Hunter HQ was fairly damaged,” said X, standing in front of the mission briefing computer. “Now as it comes to my attention there are 2 missions that require your attention.” X as he turned to the mission computer behind him and it flickered it on, displaying a write up of the missions and a graphical representation of the terrains of the area. "There are 2 missions which require attention, please select which you want to take care of first."
On the screen the following is displayed Mission - Investigate a mysterious signal in the Amazon jungle. Briefing- A mysterious signal has been spoted eminating from the jungle, we suspect a rise in maverick activity, investigate and report findings.
Mission - Persue the maverick in New York city. Briefing- In downtown new york a maverick general is leading a large band of minions though the streets tearing everything apart. Put a stop to the destruction before more people get hurt.
-------------------- Please choose which mission you want to go on. --------------------
Jet thinks it over in his mind carefully. He is excited about his first real mission, and the unexpected choice Most missions were assigned not chosen. He wondered what the other reploids would choose, especially the 2 he had fought alongside at the hunter base. He looked at the screens again, one showing a lush quiet jungle, the other was New York on fire. Jet clenched his fists, the choice was no choice at all. Jet speaks up "I'll take the New York mission X." He runs to his room quickly to grab up a few items. As he runs, Jet reflects and decides that he had made the right decision. "Those people need help right now," Jet thinks. "I can let some other hunters run recon in the jungle, if they find anything I can head over but I think this mission is more serious right now." Jet returns to the command room and jumps in the teleporter.
X spoke to each of the groups by comm as they were transfered to their missions "Ok, you are to act as a group, support each other by now you should be familiar with each others strengths and weaknesses. Cover for each other and the mission will succeed." Then to the jungle group: "Because you are in the jungle you'll have more cover from any enemies that may appear, use the trees and objects there for cover, try and stay out of sight as best you can, the signal is about a mile from your location. I'm sorry we couldn't warp you closer but there was a teleportation jamming field set up, X out." To the New York group "You are in an urban environment, try to avoid damage to the surrounding buildings, the more damage you do the more we have to cover, and our money supply is limited in lieu of the last weeks events. But as for the mission, the maverick general should be close by, confront and capture if possible, the smaller mavericks are also large in number so be careful. X out."
Jet is transported to the city. "This is horrible," he thinks surveying the distruction and carnage. All the buildings in view were on fire.
Reaver looked around, amazed by all the mayhem and burning rubble. He didn't really fell horrible about the whole thing. In fact, he found it quite interesting. But when he thought about the Mavericks, the anger within him began to build up again. "Easy now, we don't want to get heavily injured twice in a row now do we?" he thought to himself. He looked around the group, seeing a familiar face...
Jet sees Reaver teleport in nearby and walks up to him. "You were that reploid from the HQ. I don't think I ever told you at the time, my name's Jet." The two look at the destruction of the once proud city. "Its terrible isn't it. Payback is going to be very painful for that maverick scum."
Lixi loved to snipe, and the trees provided excellent cover, but there wasn't a maverick in sight! She thought that maybe she was too impatient for these types of mission, and decided not to go on any like this in the future. Finally the group found a place that looked safe to rest at, everyone was weary after their long trek through the jungle. It was very quiet... which was strange for a jungle. "This is going nowhere!" a hunter complained. Some others nodded while others muttered things about 'impatient bots'. Lixi silently agreed that it being boring. "Fine. How 'bout we split up? We'll cover more ground and get this done quiker that way," she suggested. She joined with two other hunters who introduced themselves as Zo and Ace. Once more, they set out to find the source and purpose of the mysterious signal.
Reaver gritted his teeth, every time he thought of mavericks he was angered. Eventually, he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "Let's go Jet," he tells his fellow hunter as he activates his weapon. "Oh by the way, my name's Reaver..." He moves swiftly from building to building with Jet at his side.
As medical reploids rush to the scene and carry humans from the burning buildings, Jet and Reaver continue on. Jet would have liked to help the humans but he reminded himself that he was on a mission to make sure more humans didn't end up hurt, and that those duties were better left to medical repliods. With every building burning, it was impossible to tell which area of the city the mavericks were currently at. "I'll be back in a minute," mutters Jet, "I'm going to take a look around." With that he activates his boots and takes off into the blood red sky.
"Hey, he can fly? Facinating..." Reaver thinks while watching his flight from afar. He looks down to the street again, and noticices a small group of mavericks moving down the street. He looks up hoping to alert Jet, but he's too far to alert him without giving away his location to the Mavericks. He is about to wait when he sees a small group of humans fleeing from them. "Damn! Can't wait for Jet any longer," He thinks, "Hopefully he will notice it as soon as the fighting starts." He dashes off, off to aid the humans.
"Damn," thinks Jet. "This isn't good, the mavericks aren't in one place, they're scattered all around the city! And I don't see thier leader anywhere." Jet is about to fly back down but he sees two humans in the window of a burning building. The building is massive and so high up that the medical reploids wouldn't get there in time even if they were on scene. As the flames close in the humans decide to jump. Speeding towards them, Jet manages to catch them just before they hit the ground. Unfortunately, Jet was hit from behind. He had landed at the feet of the maverick general. The humans were frozen with terror and Reaver was blocks away. Gritting his teeth, Jet stagers to his feet. "Get behind me," he orders the humans. "This is not going to be fun..."
Reaver watched from behind a wall, judging the small group of mavericks. "Cannon fodder... Only melee weapons," he thinks, "I did it once, I can manage some cannon fodder harvest again..." He grins and jumps out of the shades, standing in the middle of the road as the civilians run by. Some stop behind Reaver, probally feeling safe to be close to a hunter. The mavericks stop, hestitate for a moment... Reaver raises his weapon and dashes into the group, his hate for mavericks making him forget his earlier decision to gun them down at long range. But still he tries to supress his fury, as he fears he won't be so lucky next time when he will be heavily injured...
"How am I going to beat this general by myself?" Jet thinks "The one at hunter base was easy, he'd been killed before and was just recycled parts. No rookie is going to beat this without an edge of some kind." The maverick general raises his weapon and readies himself for an attack. Before he can, Jet reaches behind him, grabs the humans and flys away. The mavericks all fire and one of the humans goes limp. Jet flys in the direction he had seen the medical reploids. When they land the humans are immediately taken away for injuries. Jet turns away, tears burning in his eyes. The human that had been hit had no pulse. A sobbing Jet knew that he had failed them...
Reaver makes quick work of the little mavericks, impaling the last one. He chuckles, as he stands there, holding high in the air one of his opponents. The maverick, while coughing and hacking, whispers its last words, "You, you, traitor!" Reaver slams his head in the ground. "Hypocrite," he replies to the lifeless body. He turns his head towards the civilians. He enjoyed the spectators, but he knew they really needed to get out of there. But as he walks back towards them, a nearby building the civilians explodes, flinging sharp or heavy objects towards the group. Reaver is shocked. His eyes are wide as he witnesses the group of humans get brutally mutilitated. A little boy holding a teddy bear also gets hit, the bear gently drops on the ground. Reaver, almost nervewrecked, slowly walks towards the pile of flesh. Dropping to his knees he lowers his head and cries out loadly, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Some mavericks walk out of the smoke of the ruined building, "Hehe oops... man that was explosive..." One of them jokes. "Hey look! A hunter! HAHAHA WHAT A CRYBABY!" Reaver can't take it anymore, the fury takes over again, he sees his scientist getting splattered all over the wall again. He lets out a loud battle cry, dashing off towards the mavericks, filled with hatred and bloodlust and fury again, even though it was easy to see these mavericks were far stronger than the last group...
Jet struggles to get ahold of himself. "There will be time for this later," he tells himself, "For now you have to make sure you don't fail anybody else. They're all depending on you. Now get up. Its time to regroup with Reaver and end this fight." Suddenly he hears a loud cry from several streets over. A long series of terrified screams followed by a long wailing "NOOOOOOOOO!!" Jet flys over the buildings to see Reaver, completely enraged fighting a large group of mavericks. Jet flys over firing blasts from the elemental cannon. 2 mavericks down. Igniting the strange lance from the hunter HQ he swoops down and impales 3 mavericks. Leaving the spear inside the mavericks, he lands next to Reaver and pulls out his twin swords. "Sorry, I wasn't back in exactly a minute, I ran into some people. Their general is on the other side of this residential district. Lets take care of the rest of these guys here and go clean up this mess."
A large explosion rocks the city, and another building begins to collapse. The maverick general is on a rampage. Another explosion is heard by the hunters and it is much closer. The ground explodes under their feet and the maverick pops up. He growled and observed the hunters, clearly enjoying the fight.
Reaver, calmed again when the Jet arrives at the scene, observes the newly arrived maverick. Apparently using explosives for weapons, thus extreme heat... Reaver's weakness. Then he looks at the group mavericks he was fighting with Jet, every single one of them still ready for battle, provoking the hunters to attack. Impossible odds for two rookie hunters... Reaver whispers to Jet, "I think we are going to need some help..."
"There is no other help, I think we're the only hunters in the city," Jet exclaimed. Jet eyes the maverick general's arms, one had a drill on the end. "So he's been tunneling under the city this whole time planting bombs and knocking down buildings," Jet thinks, "No wonder I douldn't see him from the air, he was underground." Fortunately, the maverick general was confident that he could defeat the two rookie hunters. He growled at his troops who left to cause more destruction and death. "This overconfidence will be his end," Jet thought. He shouted at the maverick, "I owe you one for the humans you've murdered. I'll stop you if it costs me my life!"
"Who's brilliant idea was it to send only a couple of offensive hunters into a warzone anyway...?" he grumbles, "After this is over, if we live I'm going to complain personally!" Focusing on the Maverick again, he tries to look for a weakspot... There appears to be none, his armor is flawless and incredibly thick. He decides to play defensively and let the general make the first move.
Speaking quietly into his communicator Jet requests help from any who might be listening. All he hears is static. "Enough talk," growls the maverick as he hurled a bomb, "Now you die!" Jet quickly grabs the lance from where it was still imbedded in the destroyed mavericks and hits the bomb back into the maverick general. Chunks of its armor are blown off revealing the machinery within. Enraged and still operational the maverick lunges at Jet and grabs him by the throat and starts crushing it.
Meanwhile Lixi continued her hike through the jungle. It was so frusterating that the Hunter HQ couldn't pinpoint the source of the maverick signal. The endless walking was so boring. For the millionth time she asks herself, "Why the heck did I choose this mission?"
Jet could feel his systems shutting down. "So this is how it ends," he thinks. Suddenly a hailstorm of buster shots came out of nowhere hitting the maverick in the back and causing him to drop Jet. Using the last of his strength, Jet heaved the lance into the hole made by the bomb. Sparks flew, the general cried out in pain. The last thing Jet saw before losing conscience was a figure behind the maverick general. "I know that armor, that looks like...."
Reaver stood paralyzed, watching the battle. Even when Jet got grabbed by his throat, he could only watch. Watching Jet die before his eyes was one death too many, his systems simply froze up. Then suddenly the shots came raining down on the maverick. This sudden attack brought him back to his senses, "WHAT THE HELL I'M DOING!?" he thought. Without further hestitation, he finished the job, slashing the stunned maverick through his head. He looks at Jet, and sees that he will probably be ok. Reaver turns to the figure behind the dead maverick, "Who are you?"
As the final sparks flew from the dead maverick general's body each active hunter heard a beep in their helmit and an automated voice stated "You got explosion crash!" Data was entered into each hunters armor and the knowledge of how to use the weapon was set, and the armor configured for use, the new weapon could be called upon at any time. ------------------------------------------------ Explosion Crash- powerful but slow attack, uses more energy to do more damage. Uncharged- fires a wave of combustible energy Charged- massive energy is discharged off the user devastating an area approx 15-20 feet around user. ------------------------------------------------
Over the comm came the voice of X. "Sorry new hunters, I forgot to tell you of one of your armors new abilities. Whenever you defeat a maverick the armor will automatically their weapon or power and spread it to every active hunter so no matter where you are if the others defeat a maverick general, you'll get the power they get too."
As the hunters finished mopping up the little mavericks in the city, they noticed more of the strange blue blood. Over the comm X intructed them to collect it, "Be sure to get a sample and bring it back to base, they are still analyzing the first sample but we could use another sample to compare it to."
Meanwhile, deep in the jungle, the group was proceeding slowly when a small quake rocked the ground. The rock that Lixi and the others had been standing on crumbled away and they fell into a nightmare. It was a maverick ambush and they were all going to die.

Lixi was shocked, "I didn't mean it about the whole boredom thing," she thinks, "Please I wish we could go back to the boring jungle trek. I don't like the way this looks." "What the, how did...?" Zo complained as he saw them coming with full speed. "No time for that. Defend yourself!"Ace cried. Lixi drew her bow and prepared for the end.
When Jet awoke he was in the medical center of the maverick hunter base. "How did I get here?" he wonders aloud. Jet recognizes Reaver's voice behind him, "We were teleported back after we beat that huge maverick. We got this cool new attack too for our armor. If you're feeling better X says we're supposed to go help out the crew in the Amazon, seems we got done before they did." "I'm fine," says Jet, "Lets go help them, I hope they're ok." As Jet and Reaver jump in the teleporter Reaver turns to Jet and says, "By the way, your friend took off as soon as he saw you were going to be alright." Jets eyes widen, "So that really was him... I wasn't halucinating." Suddenly they find themselves in the middle of the jungle. And a war zone...
Lixi, Ace, and Zo were slowly being overrun by mavericks, when another of the hunter groups they had started with stumbled upon the battle and helped out. The other three weren't too special, two were taken out almost immediatly. The fight looked like a hopeless for the hunters until Lixi heard something speaking in her helmet... Some thing about 'Explosion Crash' Then Ace suddenly unleash an awesome attack, not even knowing how. "Cool," Lixi thought. The other hunters were in awe too. "According to the comm, we can all use it too." Zo said. The hunters smiled at each other and prepared to use their new move...
Once in the jungle, Reaver looked around. They teleported near a group of hunters under heavy fire. Noticing this, he points them out to Jet and heads over to help.
It was the female repliod who had helped him at the hunter base! She and three hunters that Jet didn't know were under heavy fire from a horde of mavericks. Jet sees one of them use the new explosion move. "So not fair," he mutters, "I almost gave my life getting that move and they get it for free." Jet leaps in front of the charging mavericks and hits the ground with his hyper shock attack, which had become even more powerful with this explosive upgrade. The mavericks that were in its range wouldn't be causing trouble for a long, long time. Turning to the hunters behind him, "Hey guys, long time no see! The name's Jet, lets finish this fight." And the mavericks rushed on.
Reaver was about to jump into the pit with Jet to assist the other hunters when suddenly a maverick jumped out of a tree, landing silently on the ground. He provoked Reaver to attack... the maverick was skinny in appereance, wielding a scythe and wearing a black armor, just like Reaver. The maverick flees a short distance and stops, again taunting Reaver. Reaver forgot about his friends in the pit and ran off to dual the maverick.
As the new renforcement Jet arrived to help the group, the others only focused on defending themselves. "Woah!" cried Zo as he just dodged a flying attack from two robot birds, "Dammit will they ever quit?!" "Just keep destroying them!" Ace yelled as he continued slashing through enemies. One of the mavericks heaved a well placed grenade into the group. Lixi got the worst of it, she went down and stayed down. "NOO!!" Jet screamed. "This has to end."
Jet blasts into the air and rains fire and ice down on the mavericks with his cannon. "Where are they coming from? Is their base nearby?" he wonders. "Use the trees for cover if you need to," Jet yells to the others, "I'm going to try and circle around them and we'll take them from 2 sides. And don't any of you think of dying on me!"
Reaver persued the maverick into an open field, with one big tree in the middle. Reaver stops for a moment, looking around hastily fearing he lost the maverick. "I can't believe this!" a voice yelled from the tree. Reaver looked up, seeing the maverick looking down to him. "Just shut up, and finish this!" He replied. "Your siding with the hunters eh? Traitor!" "YOU are the traitor! YOU side with the human slayers! YOU KILLED MY MAKERS!!!!" Furiously, Reaver slashes down the tree in one fell swoop, the maverick easily jumps out and lands behind Reaver, but the tree falls with a deavening loud drop. "Your makers?" The maverick continued... "You sure you remember the story well?" "What are you hinting at, lowlife maverick?" For a short while, neither says something. Then the maverick reaches for a chip and drops it in front of Reaver. "Use it with your weapon, it's an ice chip!" Reaver picks up the chip, suspicious, he asks "Why are you giving your enemy a chip? I don't trust you..." "You may have betrayed your own kind, but I would never betray my own friend Reaver..." Suddenly, the maverick teleports away. ".... Friend?" Reaver wondered... He puts the chip in his weapon, immedeatly, the blade becomes a sharp, ice cold, frost-blade. A bit suprised, he remembers the other hunters heads back to the battlefield.
From the air it becomes easy to see that the mavericks are filing out of an underground base. "Its underground!" Jet yells to the others, "That's why the base couldn't lock onto it, the signal must be in there. we can't damage it from here, we've gotta drive the mavericks back into the hidden base. Maybe if we all used the explosion crash at once we could push the mavericks back and get inside..." They all combined their explosion crash creating a wave large enough to destroy the mavericks in view. "Lets get into the base and shut their signal down before more mavericks show up," Jet yelled.
The crash roared through the jungle and the mavericks outside were vaporised by the massive wave of energy, even the hole in the ground was opened wider revealing steps leading down into a tunnel. Into the tunnel they went and waiting for the hunters was a maverick general.
Ace, who was pretty fast, dashed down the steps to see the maverick general, "Great, one more left. I guess that maverick's protecting the signal." He rushed forward and did a three-slash combo on the general, then leapt back and fired an explosion crash at it. He landed and prepared for the next attack, if there was one.
Jet was right behind Ace. Suddenly Jet's lance glowed blue. Without hesitation he hurled it into the maverick general's chest. It went deep and sparks flew. The maverick general was clearly damaged, but how badly? He studied the maverick wondering what kind of attacks it would have.
Reaver and the other hunters head into the hole, seeing the others already fighting another general. Reaver lights his scythe, revealing the new ice cold blade. They dash to the aid of their fellow hunters.
The lithe figure moved into the lighted section of the tunnel. She gave a little bow and stood up, and in a very dignified voice stated "My name is Solarion Vineyard, prepare to die." As she said this her arms and leg sections uncoiled and lengthened her 5'4" frame into a towering 10 feet. Once stretched to her full extent she launched across the tunnel towards the maverick hunters.
Another rookie hunter, Giga enters the tunnel. “Well, time to trim the bushes” he said with a smirk. "Let’s go guys!" He yelled and rushed the maverick with his saber.
Jet barely notices as another hunter, he's too busy staring at the general as she grows to roughly twice his size. "Oh thats not good," he thinks. As the sunlight hits her, the wound where the lance struck closed, sealing the lance inside. The wound was perfecly healed. "Oh that is really not good," he mutters out loud. "That's not the half of it," says a voice inside his helmet. Do you even know what that lance is? How much power it contains? Her body is having a reaction with it and you guys are in for some trouble." "Who are you?" asks Jet. There is no answer. Suddenly the huge maverick grabs Jet with one of the vines. Jets arms are pinned, he cannot reach for his swords. "She's too big," he thinks, "Can't break free..."
"I'll help you out," cries Giga. Snap! A vine grabs him as well and the huge maverick begins to squeeze...
Suddenly Reaver's scythe is seen thrown through the air, slashing trough the vine which holds Giga. The vine falls at the ground, freeing Giga. The scythe gets imbedded in the wall. Reaver remains behind the group, remaining silent, yet confident...
"Nice one Reaver!" Giga said commenting in amazement about the throw. The maverick let out a shriek, " You will pay for that!" as her vine-arm slowy grew back. "Jet, you okay?" Ludakris yelled watching helplessly as Jet continued being crushed, but was interrupted when the plant maverick smashed her vine like hand on him. He flew into a wall and slid down it, landing in a heap on the floor. "Damn" he mumbled. "Forget this..."
Jet is dazed but the huge maverick's screaming brings him to his senses. He activates his jet boots and the flame causes the huge maverick to lose her hold on him. Jet leaps into the air and delivers a kick to the mavericks face. As he kicks he ignites his jet boots again and the flames cause the maverick even more pain. Jet backflipped away and landed on the ground. He noticed the maverick was reacting to the flames, just like a real plant the fire caused her to wither and shrink. She was still far larger than the hunters, but not as big as she had been. Getting to his feet again he powered up the elemental cannon and let loose a blast of the scorcher.
The other hunters also noticed this. "Solar power..." Ace thought, "That's it!" He looked up at the hole, "If we take out her source of power, she'll be weakened with every shot." He fires an explosion crash at the hole, causing it to collapse. There was no sunlight now for Solaris to recharge from.
With the sunlight gone and the scorcher causeing her to lose power and shrink, eventually the lance head pokes out causing her massive damage. Jet finally takes out his twin sabers and drives them into her heart.
Reaver started heading over to the wall to retrieve his scythe. But he failed to notice a vine, which was closing in at high speed, slamming Reaver a few meters back into the wall. "Ugh, I'm out for a bit" Reaver mutters...
"She's still alive after all that?!" Jet exclaims. He pours on more of the scorcher and when she's small enough, crushes her under the heel of his boot. He activates the jets at the end, just for good measure. "Ah maverick eliminated," he sighs and collapses onto the ground, is internal circuts failing.
Across the jungle the various hunters recieved the notice: "Weapon obtained! You got solar lash!" --------------------------------------------------------- solar lash- a long vine of glowing solar energy used as a whip, when charged fires a bolt of solar energy ensnaring an enemy, slowly crushing them
secondary effect- while equipped with this weapon, standing in the sunlight will slowly recharge your weapons but not energy however ---------------------------------------------------------
After clearing the rubble away from the tunnel enterance, they turned towards the door at the end of the tunnel that Solarion Vineyard was guarding. With a loud creak the door gave way and split open revealing a transmission base, closer inspection of the terminals revealed the signal was directed to new york but had recently stopped sending... As the hunters investigated the rest of the base, they discovered a vial of the deepest blue, slightly reminiscent of the blue maverick blood being found of late.
Over the comm the hunters heard Zero's voice, "Well done, rookies! You guys could probably use some R&R, I'm sending a shuttle to pick you up, until it arrives guard that area. We can't teleport you from current location, nor can we teleport to that area, so sit tight for now, a new squad is on the way." As zero finished these words the comm fizzled out and the hunters were left in the silence of the room. After about 10 minutes a low rumble told them they weren't alone anymore...

Ok this time I want some comments, I didn't do all this for nothing. Also you may notice I added a few characters. I had to add them because I didn't get any bios sent to me. Most of these guys are minor and can be killed off whenever I feel like it. Especially Giga, for some reason he annoys me and I didn't like the way I made his personality. So I'm looking for comments and some shoes to fill.

Thanks man! I'm glad at least 1 person reads these.
Hey were you interested in making the comic for this? NeO said he'd like to help out and I think Silver's in as well.
