Oi, since I no longer wish to torture the list with
this....fic, and I use the term loosely, these will be
the last two chapters of it I post. It only gets worse
from here anyway...

If those scarce few who surprisingly give a damn, the
remaining chapters will soon be uploaded to my site
for your enjoyment, bashing, or anything else that
comes to mind. ENJOY.

Comments: First off I'd like to thank the readers who
have read and reviewed all the other chapters, its
because of you I was motivated to continue this story
and I want to apologize for taking so long to come to
my senses. In particular I'd like to thank Vitold,
DarkReader, and AeroPrime. And just a reminder and to
those who don't know; this story is told in
alternating chapters switching from the Reploids' and
the Senshis' point of view For example this chapter
tells the Reploids' account of what happened in Tokyo
while chapter 4 is the Senshis' POV.

"WHAT! You found one of the Mavericks! Are you sure?"
Zero yelled a bit to loudly as he recieved stares from
a few passersby.

"I can't say for certain......................" X
responded keeping his voice low.

"Where did you detect it?"

" While we were running I almost knocked over some
blonde haired girl. I felt something was out of whack
so I ran a scan on her, she seems to be emitting a
high level of some energy I've never seen before."

"Damnit. Well we dont have time to worry about that
now. We have about nine minutes before that energy
wave rips into this time period."

"One question. Even if we do get there before it hits,
what exactly are we going to do to stop it?"

"Honestly I don't think we can. We may have to resort
to evacuating the area if we can do even that."

"Are you suggesting we blow our cover?"

"I'm saying we might not have a choice..........."
 






Year: 2145

Location: Maverick Hunter Tactical Command Base #1, in
geosynchronous orbit over Antartica


A massive space station situated high over Earth's
atmosphere. It is in this place that all attacks
against the Mavericks are coordinated and planned. But
now this place has but one sole purpose. To be the
only link to the future, as well as the focal point of
an operation to save all time itself.

�Commander Cain. Were recieving a transmission from
Antartica." A brown reploid operator said to the
bearded creator of the entire reploid race.

"What does it say?"

"Its a confirmation code stating that both X and Zero
have breached into the 
past."

"I see. Now is the time to see if the temporal beacon
implanted into Zero actually works or if it really is
impossible to track a person through time. See if you
can't get a fix on there current position"

"Dr. Cain sir. I've just detected an enourmous amount
of tachyon radiation and fallout at the same location
the transmission was sent from." another operator
reported.

"How can that be.............have the sensors detected
any life forms in that area?"

"I cannot discern that sir. The radiation is
interfering with the transmission."

"Blast it, what happened over there...........Alert
Reconasaince Units 1,7, and 8. This is going to take a
closer look."
 





Year: 2000

Time: 2:28 pm

The Hunters in disguise continued to race toward there
destination, every second bringing closer certain
destruction on an untold scale. They had since entered
the heart of Tokyo but still had a ways to go, by this
time many people they sped by began to wonder why they
were in such a hurry.

"X! Look at the sky! Use your thermal optics!" Zero
shouted as they ran.
X looked toward the bright blue expanse using heat
sensitive vision. what he saw was a single spot of
concentrated heat ever growing in size.

"Its all concentrating in one area! That could very
well lessen the damage to this place in a whole!"

"I realize that! But the problem is where that
concentration is located above! And thats right over
the Tokyo commercial district! Who knows how many
people are here at this time of day!"

"Can't anything go right for us just once on this
mission!" Thats when X stopped dead in his tracks.

"What is it now?!" Zero asked agitated.

"Man. I'm
getting.........two..........three............four
high level energy signatures."

"Four? Where?!"

"Almost directly underneath where the wave will hit.
Either they don't know its coming, which is highly
unlikely, or something else that I haven't come up
with yet."

"Damnit." Zero nearly yelled. "This is an opportunity
we can't miss. But we can't just let civilians be
killed."

"Look Zero, we have to face facts. Our primary mission
here is to stop those Mavericks. If we let this chance
slip, Light only knows what kind of damage they'll do
to the time stream."
Zero could only stand and contemplate the dilema
presented to him. Go after the Mavericks and thereby
risking the chance of who knows how many civilians to
be slaughtered when the wave hit. Or evacuate the
civilians, thereby letting the Mavericks run loose to
distort the future as they see fit. "Sometimes I hate
having to make command desicions."

"Hey I'm just glad its not me.........."

"Alright. Just maybe it can work both ways. If we can
start a big enough commotion maybe they'll retreat the
area themselves. Either way we'll have to blow our
cover."

There once human forms began to glow a bright white,
immediately catching the attention of everyone nearby
many of whom were already beginning to flee. The
energy dissipated and they were once again in there
full reploid forms. Zero looked to his wrist and
brought up a 3-D hologram of the increasing energy
build-up.

"We have exactly fifteen minutes before it reaches
threshold. We are getting our butts in gear and this
time NO stopping."

"Alright. Theres alot of high story structures in this
area, I suggest we take point on one of them to getter
scope of the area. We can pinpoint the Maverick's
exact location that way."
 
 






Year: 2145

"Commander Cain. We have a sit-rep from Recon team #7
sir." A green reploid confirmed.

"Report." 

"Neither they nor I can really make sense of it sir,
but........." the operator hesitated.

"Well don't leave me in suspense." Cain urged him

"It appears a large portion of the Enderby area of
Antartica has been completely wiped out."

"WHAT?!"

"My thoughts exactly sir. They weren't able to confirm
whether our troops survived or not due to the high
levels of tachyon radiation, but they assume that
nothing survived. Save for the few that made to the
past."

"This has gone far beyond our estimated projections."
Cain then cursed under his breath. "Have you got a
lock on Zero's position?"

"Not as of yet sir. Theres an unusually high amount of
interference which, if I may speak freely, is
completely screwing with the signal......." a yellow
reploid reported.

"High amount of interference...........what could
possibly be causing that. Hmmmmm, perhaps the tachyon
radiation could be having an affect........But I doubt
it would be this severe......." Cain spoke to himself.
"It appears for now, we can only wait."
 
 





Year: 2000

2:38 pm

"There they are. You can pick them up on long-range."
X commented. They had since taken perch on a ten-story
office building giving them a view of a good portion
of the area.

"Damn. The energy there giving off is through the
roof. No doubt about it, they're the Mavericks were
looking for. Now we end this little game." Zero
confirmed.

"Whoa. Not so fast. It seems we've lost our element of
surprise. Have a look.........."

Zero zoomed in with long-range. Only to find, to his
immediate suprise, the group of four young women
looking right back at them! "Well then. Frontal
assault it is......"

"Hehe. Bring it on......." X agreed.

They both left off the building without thinking about
it, they used they booster jets in there feet to slow
there descent. They made there way toward there
targets, all the while civilians were immediately
vacating the vicinity.

"Your right. We can get these people out of here and
get rid of the Mavericks all at once." X whispered to
Zero.

Suddenly there vision was overwhelmed when all four
women suddenly exploded into masses of energy and
multi-colored light. When that passed they were each
wearing costumes reminiscent of Navy uniforms. Both of
the reploids stopped and could only stare in disbelief
at the sheer gaudiness of there costumes.

"What the hell kind of armor is that? Thats no where
near standard issue Maverick armor." X commented to
Zero.

"Don't underestimate them. They are new models so we
don't understand there defensive capabilities." Zero
warned.

"Right." X armed his buster cannon and pointed
straight toward the renegade reploids. 

"Were only going to say this once, you are to disarm
your weapons and power down. If you resist you will be
destroyed." Zero yelled the traditional options.

Of course at this point there would usually be an
exchange of curses and unpleasantries, but instead
these particular opponents were content to converse
amongst themselves. Suddenly a beeping sound began to
emmit from Zero's wrist that immediately gained his
attention.

"Great. We've nearly run out of time. This area going
to be dust in five minutes." Zero indicated the sky.

"Well at least casualties will be minimum. Hopefully
just the Mavs."

"Enough talk." Zero charged instantly making a beeline
toward the one in yellow and black who appeared to be
the leader. They all scattered into different
directions, Zero still kept his eyes on the target who
attempted to avoid him. He activated his saber and
began to press the attack, this woman however was
somewhat fast as managed to evade all his attempts to
end the fight quickly. 

"Impressive. They upped their speed a bit........."

X seemed to be having a bit more trouble considering
he was now being triple-teamed. He managed to narrowly
avoid a bolt of purple energy fired by the taller of
the three, then countered with several rapid shots of
plasma. One of them was tagged in the explosion, which
for some reason seemed to surprise the one in green.
It was almost like she had never seen a buster cannon
before, which seems unlikely because she was most
likely programmed with intricate knowledge on Hunter
issue weaponary before being sent back.

"Oh CRAP!!!" X snapped back to the matter at hand just
in time to see the one dressed in purple dropping
right toward him, that bladed weapon of her's ready to
slice him clean in half. He jumped back immediately
but that wasn't enough as the blade just barely grazed
his armor sending sparks flying everywhere. She was
relentless as she continued to attack, if X was human
he would have tired out long ago. It was taking all
the speed he could muster to avoid her assault. 

"DEEP SUBMERGE!!!" he heard someone yell out.

"What the......" he said in shock as the girl suddenly
broke off her attack, he didn't have time to take
advantage as a now green bolt of power slammed into
him and sent him flying into a nearby shop, which was
thankfully devoid of people. 

"Damnit. What the hell did she hit me with. Scan
Mode." his eyes glazed red as high-res scanners gave
him a readout of the residual energy left by the
blast. 

"Hmmmmm, a signature I've never seen before. And I
don't see any kind of external power source. Can she
possibly be generating it naturally? Impossible."
 
 


"It seems your partner is having some trouble." Zero
looked back to his opponent. She was smiling like any
other arrogant Mav general.

"You new models are overconfident. You should be more
worried about yourself." 

"What do you mean new models?" Obviously she was
trying to goad him. It was working

"They even gave you a smart mouth. Why they thought
that would be useful is beyond me." Zero rushed at her
again, this time attempting to separate her head from
the rest of her body. Again her speed amazed him as he
only managed to chop a lamppost in half. Then to his
greater surprise a sword suddenly appeared in her hand
out of nowhere! "This is getting better by the
minute.........."
 
 


X began strafing the area with rapid-fire shots hoping
to keep the Mav's off balance and better formulate a
strategy. "

They really went all out with these new ones. They
seem to possess abilities I've never seen in other
Mavericks. Of course I question there choice in combat
armor." Before he could think of anything else he
noticed there was a deathly silence. 

"WARNING. HIGH ENERGY BUILD-UP DETECTED!" His onboard
warning system blared into his ear. He followed
instinct and leapt for higher ground immediately, he
looked down while in mid-jump to see the area he was
just standing explode into nothing.

"WHAT WAS THAT!!!!" X found himself gasping. With the
help of boosters he found himself on a three-story
structure, his three opponents apparently waiting for
the smoke to clear to see if he survived. He fired a
blast at the turqoise Maverick who appeared to be
leading the other two, she was disabled by the
explosion but that only meant it was a two on one
battle.
 
 


Zero and the Mav leader broke there clash, Zero took
the moment to assess his options.

"Neptune are you okay!!" she was distracted, and Zero
took his chance to end the fight.

"Next pay more ATTENTION!!!" he launched into the air
and started to come down, she finally looked up and he
could see the look of shock on her face. The saber
came down, Zero expected to hear the normal sound of
metal and wire grinding and melting apart, but instead
he felt the saber go through all too easily. "What?"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she
screamed louder than he anything he heard come out of
a Maverick. That�s when a noticed a red liquid pouring
out of the stump.

"Red..........oh no. Bio-Scan........." it was several
seconds before the scan completed and the horrid truth
was revealed to Zero, his eyes went wide as he
realized there mistake. "X! SHE'S HUMAN!!" 

"WARNING. HIGH ENERGY BUILD-UP DETECTED!" Zero turned
to see a literal wall of green energy bearing down
upon him, hit smashed into him full force and was sent
flying through the air for what seemed to be a a clear
mile. He skidded to a hlat as a hit the ground.

"ZERO!!" X was immediately next to him as he fought to
keep his systems online. 

"This is getting completely out of control, we have to
withdraw for now and you know it!"

Zero was in no shape to protest whatsoever.
"Short-Range jump. Lock-on to homing beacon." Zero
seemed to talk to himself. Both X and Zero were
enveloped and then turned into masses of light and
launched off into the sky.....
 
 


Time: 3:17 pm.

"This a Channel 13 News Special Report. At exactly
2:45 pm this afternoon a mysterious and violent
explosion shook the center of Tokyo. Authorities are
still unsure as to the origin of the blast but
terrorism still has not been ruled out. Several known
terrorist organizations have taken credit for the
explosion. Currently emergency personnel have been
working around the clock to evacuate the surrounding
area and rescue efforts for survivors has already
begun. Please be advised that area is now officially
off-limits to all residence and all traffic has been
redirected away from the area. This is Sarah Tachikawa
for Channel 13 News."
