[h3]F. City | Construction Site[/h3] Just as Merro dealt with the giant mechaniloid, the wireframe of the building cracked and finally collapsed, tons of steel and concrete crashed against the ground bellow producing a hellish sound and a dust cloud about half as tall as the building was. However, the agile hunters managed to reach the top of the adjacent building at the very last second and began to deal with the artillery mechaniloids immediately. Merro cloaked herself despite her frame still being cracked and quickly delivered Alia's program to the four missile launchers. In an instant the skies over F. City where red with the flames that poured from Owl's former warship, miraculous ly it didn't fell right away, but managed to beat a retreat towards the XZ monument. [hr] [h3]F. City | The XZ Monument[/h3] Merro and Raven chased the warship, jumping from roof to roof and taking care of the few stragglers that they came across, until it stop right above the monument. It lowered its height much as it could and then, lowered a cargo platform, towards which a group of maverick reploids moved while carrying what looked like a resting pod that they dragged from a passage located under the monument. [color=662d91][b]Signas *over the radio*:[/b] So, that was it. The maverick behind that forgery were looking for something hidden under the monument and used that transmission and the attack as a distraction.[/color] [color=ed145b][b]Alia *over the radio*:[/b] I'm picking a reploid signature from that pod.

Do you know something about this situation? *static* Alia! Alia, answer me! *more static* Raven, Merro, I know that it might be asking much of you, since neither of you has been built for combat, but you're the only ones near the monument at this moment. Don't let those mavericks take that pod away, no matter what... *heavy static* Raven? *heavy static* Merro? *heavy static* Can you hear me? *heavy static | com off*[/color] [hr] The hunters quickly jumped off the high building and took the lightly armored mavericks by surprise, dealing with them in one fell sweep. However, when they were about to look inside the pod... [color=598527][b]????:[/b] I'm afraid I can't let third rate hunters like you have that thing. Hahaha![/color] When they turned around to see the source of the mysterious voice, a thunderous crash assaulted their ears as a reploid in a huge, black Ride Armor jumped from the airship right behind them... [color=598527][b]????:[/b] You see, the one that I'm working for is very interested in the reploid that's inside that capsule, so...[/color] A burst of bullet shot from the maverick's shoulder-mounted autocannon cleared the dust from the air and at that moment both Raven and Merro's eyes widened as they recognized the foe in front of them, the second deadliest maverick criminal of recorded history only slightly behind Sigma.
