“It’s like a warzone… Hey, hang in there! What happened!?” “I’ve got a bad feeling about this… Zero, let’s keep going!”Īs our sense of unease grew, Zero and I plunged deeper into the city. “It feels like all the activity from earlier just up and vanished…” No matter how far and wide we looked, we couldn’t find anything at all. When Zero and I headed out, everything was normal: plenty of vehicles and Mechaniloids around and running. “…Looks like something might’ve gone down while we were away, after all.” On a weekend, there weren’t as many cars around, but for there not to be a single one? To add to that, even the typical Mechaniloids that ran around the clock were nowhere to be found. “…Huh? Zero, something’s wrong… It’s dark out, but I don’t see a single vehicle anywhere.” We took the highway leading back to the city on our Ride Chasers–high-powered air bikes–but came to a stop upon noticing a disquieting pattern. We swept through the area once more to confirm the situation, leaving the matter of our original target, the military facility, for later. “The former’s unlikely… so it must be the latter. “…Do you think something’s happened at HQ? Or maybe someone’s jamming the signal nearby.” The common and dedicated lines weren’t working? I’m not getting any response from HQ.” Zero tried several channels but encountered static each time. There wasn’t a single trace of Mavericks, humans, Reploids, or even Mechaniloids, so we concluded that it was likely a false report, and tried to contact Hunter HQ. “No signs of damage, either… Maybe they were mistaken.” Dispatch sent us to a military facility in the southern part of the city to investigate. I was with Zero–my mentor, friend, and a Special A-Class Maverick Hunter–when we received a report of a Maverick incident. In the wake of countless tragedies, the Maverick Wars had begun…. Regardless of my rank, it has… become my duty to fight countless enemies. I’m a B-Class Maverick Hunter in the 17th Elite Unit. I wonder, do these sound like the words of a former Maverick Hunter? He was being facetious, trying to see if I’d give myself away as a Maverick on top of suggesting it would be better that way. There’s fewer strings attached – it’s way better. Against the ground, I couldn’t see my opponent at all, but I didn’t need to: I already knew him well. The Ride Armor pinned me down, fingers groaning as it tightened its grip on me.
