Plot: Congratulations, you have caught character A’s (Italics in the ‘Includes’ section) attention and they’ve been bothering you since you met (Caught you sneaking into the museum, caught Peter Pan bringing you into Neverland, or you transferred to Dauntless and jumped) and you have upheld the front that you dislike / hate him but your real feelings are given away when you see Character B, who is a reincarnation of Character A, and you are visibly attracted to this person.
Includes (Italics = The love interest. // No italics = The one you gush over) : Al Capone and Frank Castle / The Punisher, Captain Hook (2003) and Lucius Malfoy, and Eric (Divergent) and Captain Boomerang.
Warnings: Looking at our line-up, I’m assuming theirs gonna be some swearing and, because of the topic their will probs be sexual references. Some THIRSTING
Notes:
I dunno who will want this but I wrote it a week ago and was having trouble adding the last two character (Freddy and Buckman) but I got a new idea for Buckman (And Hoyt, and Jafar. Ya’ll just sit back and wait for what I’m brewing with these unholy three) now so no worries! Imma just post it. I like Al’s at least ^^ NATM fans will be maybe happy :D

Al Capone: Frank Castle / The Punisher ( @blueinkblot )
“So, you’re supposed to be the other me?” Al talks to his doppelganger with contempt in the other room, and you can just imagine the pinched look on his face. Chuckling about it, I get up from the lunch table and leave the break room, going to see what’s happening and oversee the visit – hopefully I don’t have to use the dreaded torch the museum gave me as a weapon,- , go-ghurt still between my lips and my teeth. Strawberry flavour! Its delicious. The cooling sleeve was a smart purchase, I think. Despite what Napoleon and Kahmenrah might say… Stupid, pompous bastards. Thinking yoghurt out of a tube is inferior to yoghurt out of a tub.
Pfft!
Rounding the corner, I see two Al’s. One of them is grey scale, of course, and he’s holding his tommy gun like it will make any difference in a fight if it came down to it, with is having no bullets and all, and the other looks like he’s recently been to war.
Oh, good, lord.
Really, he is as gruff looking as they come. Where Al’s clean and baby-faced, this guy has that sexy five o’clock shadow. He’s also buffer, human coloured and… is he taller?? I don’t know how it could be possible, but just way the way he looks at people makes him seem taller.
Suddenly he looks my way and I smile… but of course, I still have a tube of go-ghurt in my mouth and when I pull it out -a bit too excited maybe,- some specks of white yoghurt fleck onto my mouth. I go bright red with embarrassment and Al looks over to see what the new guy is looking away from, -me, - as I use my sleeve to wipe that stuff off. I miss his broad, knowing grin.
I flash him a toothless, joyless grin which I hope reads ‘Don’t talk to me, stop looking at me, don’t even mention me. I’m going to go find a hole to live in’ before raising a hand quickly to waive, slouching and slowly moping off to my hole. Go-Ghurt, how could you betray me like this!!
Ahhh, its better off that way anyway. Wouldn’t want Al to get to the idea that I think he’s attractive, haha. I sit down at the table Napoleon, Kah, Ivan and a couple other exhibits are playing go fish on and watch them play for a while, my legs stretched out under the table and arms crossed over my stomach, watching and not saying anything. Even when Kah matches a 6 of clubs with a 7 of clubs and no one else notices- I’d rather not set off any high-pitched French shrieking right now. My ears are still sensitive from last night, thank you very much.
When midnight strikes, they finally decide to give Go Fish a rest for the night, thank god, and disperse to separate areas of the museum. I’m just playing with the cards, shuffling them and organising them into suits and chronological order when Al plops down in the seat beside me. I glance at him between separating hearts and diamonds. “Your guy left?” Oh, thank god.
“Yeah; Said he had some work to do before the night was over.” He responds, and I nod in understanding. “Makes me wonder what kinda work he does, at night… with a gun… in all black… But I don’t ask questions.”
“Oh, you don’t?” I turn over my shoulder, set the cards down and look sceptically at him. I could have sworn he asks me a million questions about myself every chance he gets. “Do you?”
“Fine, I don’t ask that guy questions. I ask you, a lotta questions.” I make an immediate ‘Ahhh’ sound when he admits the first part and look back to my cards. I look right back at him through when I hear the legs of his chair scratch against the floor and find that he’s much closer now. “One more question.”
I raise an eyebrow at his mischievous face. “What?”
“Did you embarrass yourself checking the other me out?” A wide grin takes his mouth, and I gasp.
“I was no checking him out- and- and he’s not even like you, anyway. He looks completely different! In fact, I think he was 4 inches taller!” Okay, not quite that much taller, but if it gets under Al’s skin then fuck. Four inches is what I saw.
And it does get under his skin! His eyes go steely and he looks from you to where the guy had been a moment ago, then back. Pointing at the spot they were in, he exclaims. “There’s no way.”
“Oh sure, there was.”
“Bring a measuring tape tomorrow, we’ll see who’s really taller!”
I hold back a laugh, looking away from him and shuffling the cards again just to have something to do with my hands. “Sure, Al!~”
“You know what?” Ooh, he sounds frustrated. Success, for me! Yippee!
I grin, and ask him. “What?”
Then Al cups my jaw, drags my head around and plants a kiss right on my mouth. I shouldn’t- No, it shouldn’t have the effect on me that it does. I should push him off and leave, but I immediately transform into mush and turn fully to wrap my arms around his neck, tilting my head into it the kiss instead. I’m not gonna lie, I think, this boy can kiss. And maybe I’d been waiting for it.
A little bit.
Captain Hook (2003): Lucius Malfoy
“My dear Y/N come over here please! ~” Hook calls over to me from the lower deck, and I look up from my phone -surprisingly enough, I get great connection in Neverland,- like a sullen teenager, earplugs still in my ears, and wait for an explanation. What? What does he want? He’s keeping me hostage and now he wants something from me?? “I’d like to introduce you to my reincarnation! His name is Lucius Malfoy, he’s a wizard!”
For a moment I consider pretending I didn’t hear him, but then decide it’s always a good idea to stay on the good side of your kidnapper and huff. Getting up from the floor where I was sitting, I take my earplugs out and wrap them around my phone as I walk down the stairs to the lower deck where they are, stuffing it in my hoodie pocket when I reach them. “Hi, I’m Y/N. The Captains hos- “
“Consort! My fair Y/N.” A hook picks up a strand of my hair, and Hook watches as it slips off the hook.
What?! I look immediately up from the floor to Hook with a look of utter horror and ‘hell no’ carved into my features. Um, absolutely not- “Yes!” I hate myself for this, but what choice do I have? “That’s me, it’s nice to meet you- “
My mouth goes dry as soon as I see him for the first time and my expression softens quickly. So pretty! How?
I offer my hand to him to shake and he smirks -Lord help me, - and takes it, shaking for a good amount of time. “Lovely to meet you also, Y/N… Its funny, you look nothing like my wife. I guess reincarnation exists but not fate. Peculiar.” Hmmm, yes, or I was kidnapped. Not really his consort! Not at all!! No??!
Ahhhh, rats though. He’s married.
I run a hand back through my hair and take my hand back, smiling politely. Oh well. “Yeah, I guess! I haven’t really thought of it- Hook?” I turn promptly to him to keep up the conversation. I’m not going to. I’m anti-social and introverted. Besides, he started this. Conversation was thrust upon me.
When we connect gazes, I notice he was looking at me before I even turned. I flash a nervous, toothless smile and look away the ocean awkwardly. Oh, dear. What’s going on in his mind?
As they talk, and watch the ocean and feel… slightly, at peace watching the beautiful blue Neverland waves crawl over the expanse of water and the disperse into its depths after crashing. It almost feels like I’m back in Britain again… until a certain hooked arm hooks its way around my bloody waist and my head whips around to see what the hell he think’s he’s doing.
Plastering a smile on my face, I turn to my ‘husband’, giving Lucius a quick ‘excuse me a moment’, and gesturing for Hook to lean down to my level so I can whisper something in his ear. “Yes, hi. Hook. Get your fucking arm off of me; Your touch feels like gross bugs on me.”
He turns to face me, and our faces are uncomfortably close in this moment. “Dear, if you think I’m going to give up on you just because you’re too stubborn to admit you want me too because of some abomination of a moral dilemma then you’re mistaken.” My face burns, from embarrassment and anger -maybe just embarrassment? He touches his lips thoughtfully, then uses those same fingers to pull my chin up so I’m more at his mercy as his expression turns into a full smirk. Bastard. “And don’t think for one second that I somehow didn’t notice your reaction to my lookalike. I know just enough about how you feel about what I look like now to hold on. You will fall for me, you’ll see. “I watch with a deep frown on my face, heat running down my neck and into my clothes as he straightens up again to continue talking with Lucius. I take a deep breath, now that his focus isn’t on me anymore before he tugs me even closer against his body.
Eric (Divergent): Captain Boomerang (Keep in mind that I have never seen Suicide squad or anything else with Captain Boomerang)
Ohh, Eric was not happy about this. Eric isn’t happy about most things, unless they included the misfortune and pain of others and more recently, regrettably, me. But he reaaaaalllly hated this.
Contrasting drastically, I’m living for it. Naturally.
And the fact that ‘Captain Boomerang’, or Digger Harkness which is one of the sexiest given names I’ve ever heard, is gorgeous in that ruffled, dark way doesn’t hurt the situation one bit. No, it does not. Eric is villainous looking too, sure, but he’s so clean cut and angry looking. Its harsh on my irises.
“So, Captain, you said you grew up in Australia?” I’m enjoying this, and I’m sucking every morsel of joy out of it as I can- which means ask the Captain copious questions while Eric just stands with his arms crossed over his chest and tries to intimidate someone the same size and scary level as him, right beside me. I don’t know how he thinks that’s going to work out for him, but I think it’s the only form of offense he has right now to utilise. Poor, evil Eric. Boo hoo.
“That’s right, you ever been there?” He grins -he grins! The only time Eric ever grins is when he’s being cruel and because he does it so little, it’s kind of scary now. Very good for making birds fall out of the sky and babies cry, - and pats my arm. His hand is big, and I beam up at him because I’m getting attention from a pretty boy. “You’d like it, I think. Most people would.”
“Sure!” Will you take me, handsome?
Eric notices the Captain’s hand still on my arm before I do even, zeroes in on it, picks it up so tight I can see his knuckles are white and drops it back towards its owner. I press my lips together and bite on them, looking down at the ground for a moment to widen my eyes at the awkward tension.
When I look back up, they’re staring daggers at each other and it’s even more awkward. Eric! Could you go stand somewhere else possibly!?
Ooooor, maybe I will. This doesn’t seem like a safe place to be anymore.
“Well, it was really nice meeting you Captain. I have to go be somewhere else now, see yaaaaa,” I give him a jaunty and half-assed salute as I’m already occupied with turning and wheeling it out of there.
I was hoping to get away from them, but its two seconds out the door before I realise Eric has followed me. I continue on though, ignoring him and hoping he’ll get the hint- and screw off. I get that that’s a pipe dream though, so I’m not surprised when instead he starts speaking to me.
“So, what was that about?”
“Stop trailing me.”
“Answer my question.” He counters. Oh, scary stubborn Eric.
I know what he’s talking about. I know what he’s going to say. He’s going to say I think Captain Boomerang is pretty so I must think he is pretty- which is just not true!!
Is... is it?
No, no it mustn’t be that. I cannot be. I repeat, it c a n n o t be. “I refuse! Get off my tail Eric!”
He chuckles from behind me, pats my back and quickens up to leave me in his dust as he speeds down the hall effortlessly. “Sure, Y/N. Sure.” Soon, he’s out of sight, and I stop walking.
It… it’s not true, is it?

The Other Grandfather
Hey @bluedancingkittykat I’m your Secret Santa for the Discord gift exchange! Please enjoy wee Elladan and Elrohir having a strange Yuletide visitor.
And @princess-faelivrin thanks for organizing this babe
At the age of twenty, Elladan and Elrohir considered themselves much too old for excessive excitement over the Midwinter festival. Certainly, the greenery hung around Imladris’ Great Hall was very pretty, but hardly anything to make a fuss over. And the various pies and pastries whose scents wafted out of the kitchens might have smelled delicious, but they weren’t what a soldier ate.
Still, no one could fault the twins for getting excited about having guests. And there were always loads of interesting people visiting Imladris during the midwinter season. Their grandparents always came from Lothlorien with the most wonderful presents imaginable, there were usually a few interesting human diplomats hanging about, and even the mysterious Mithrandir himself would occasionally show up with fireworks.
The person who Elrond introduced them to the day before the solstice feast, however, was not exactly the sort of guest the twins were accustomed to seeing. For one thing, he arrived neither on horseback nor in a carriage, and received no formal announcement. Instead, Elrond simply brought him into the boys’ playroom and announced the arrival of a visitor.
“Boys,” said Elrond briskly, as though there were nothing at all unusual about the situation. “This is your grandfather.”
Elladan frowned suspiciously. “No it isn’t.”
“We’ve already got two grandfathers,” Elrohir put in. “Grandfather Celeborn got here two days ago and Grandfather Earendil is too busy being a star to come visit. No offense,” he added quickly, nodding at the stranger.
“None taken,” the stranger replied, his low, musical voice betraying just a hint of amusement. “And you are quite correct, I technically am not your grandfather by blood.”
“But really, boys, I’m surprised you’ve forgotten the stories I’ve told you,” said Elrond. “This is your other grandfather, the one who looked after me when my parents left. Your grandfather Maglor.”
“Ohh,” Elladan and Elrohir chorused, eyes wide. They weren’t forgetful babies; of course they remembered Elrond’s stories about his unusual upbringing and the people who’d raised him. But Elrond had always described his foster-father as a brave warrior and brilliant musician, and a prince at that. Whereas the person they were meeting now looked...well. Haggard was putting it nicely. His gray cloak and brown satchel were both heavily patched, and his dark curls vaguely resembled a bird’s nest.
Sensing that no more polite greetings were coming from the twins, Elrond shook his head fondly. “Anyway. Father, these are my children; Elladan on the left, and Elrohir on the right. You may, of course, refer to me if you need any clarification about which is which.”
“I don’t imagine it will take me long to sort it out,” said Maglor, giving the boys a wink. “I always was rather good at telling twins apart.”
--
“So where have you been for the last few years?” Elrond asked, as the family settled in their private sitting room that evening. Outside, the snow was still falling steadily, coating the valley with a glittering sheet of white powder...with any luck, the twins agreed, the snow would be the right consistency for a snowball fight the next day.
“We haven’t seen you since the twins were babies,” said Celebrian. “In fact, we were starting to get a bit worried about you.”
“Oh, you know. I’ve been here and there,” Maglor said vaguely. “Down south for a bit, mainly in Harad. Interesting country, that. They do some marvelous things with beans. As it happens, I picked up some gifts for the children while I was down there. May I?” At Elrond and Celebrian’s nods, he reached into his satchel and pulled out two small bundles, wrapped in colorfully patterned cloth. “There you are, boys. A couple of early-Midwinter presents for you.”
“Oh!” Elladan exclaimed, eagerly unwrapping his gift and pulling out a small dagger with an exquisitely carved wooden handle, its blade wrapped in a soft leather sheath. “Look, Mother, a knife! And Elrohir got one too!”
“Those are ceremonial daggers that many Haradrim boys receive when they are ten years old,” said Maglor. “Symbolizing maturity. And, of course, they are completely blunt,” he added, shooting a wink at Elrond and Celebrian’s concerned frowns. “Couldn’t cut anything with that except butter.”
“And if I catch you boys sneaking down to the armory to get them sharpened you won’t have any butter on your bread for a year,” Elrond said sternly. “But that’s kind of you, Father. It certainly wasn’t necessary for you to bring any gifts.”
“Nonsense! What else are grandparents for? And I got you something too, of course. Well, not a thing, exactly. A song.” Reaching once again into his satchel, Maglor extracted a battered old fiddle. “Feel free to sing along if you know the words. I wrote this one centuries back.”
At their age, Elladan and Elrohir were hardly seasoned music critics. This, however, did not prevent them from being aware that what they were hearing was extraordinary.
--
In keeping with tradition, Elladan and Elrohir awoke at the crack of dawn on the day of the winter solstice, immediately hurrying to wake their parents.
“Where’s Grandfather Maglor?” asked Elladan eagerly, bouncing up and down on his father’s feet. “Can we wake him up too? I want him to come play outside with us.”
Elrond’s face fell, and he shook his head sorrowfully. “I’m sorry, boys. Your grandfather had to leave earlier this morning.”
“He did? Why?”
“As it happens, he left you a letter. Hopefully he’ll explain himself.”
Dear Elladan and Elrohir,
I am truly sorry that I must leave before today’s celebration. As your father may have explained to you, I made many mistakes in my past, and as a result there are many people in Imladris (including your grandmother) who would be very upset to see me at a party. Leaving early is really the best solution for everyone.
I want to let you know, however, how much I have enjoyed seeing you again. The last time I was in Imladris you were tiny babies, and it’s extraordinary to see how much you’ve grown. You are wonderful, brave, clever children and I can easily understand why your parents are so proud of you.
With love and hope for a bright New Year,
Your grandfather Maglor
PS: The next time I see you, I promise I will tell you the story of the time I met a sea serpent.
“Well,” said Elrohir, when the two boys had finished reading.”I still say it’s too bad he couldn’t stay.”
“But if Grandmother Galadriel was going to be angry with him I understand why he left,” said Elladan. “She’s scary when she’s angry.”
“What does he mean by mistakes?” asked Elrohir. “You haven’t told us very many stories about that.”
Elrond glanced hesitantly at Celebrian, who shook her head. “That’s not a good story for a holiday,” she said firmly. “We’ll talk about it another time. For now, who’s ready for a snowball fight?”
Elladan whooped in delight and leapt off the bed, while Elrohir remained behind, looking up at his father with concerned eyes. “Is Grandfather going to come back?” he asked. “I mean, he’s not gone forever, is he?”
With a fond chuckle, Elrond patted his son on the head. “No, my dear, he’s not gone forever. He’ll be back one of these days. He doesn’t exactly stick to a schedule...but he’ll be back.”

S.IV - Ep. 12: Impending Doom
Written by Metal Man X
---------------------------------------------------------------
INT. LAYE LABS – Probation Bunker – NIGHT
---------------------------------------------------------------
The cell door to Blaze Phoenix's chamber opens as he continues to sleep on a bench.
A Reploid walks from the shadows with a large cannon in his hands. He places the weapon directly into his open beak, which stirs him awake.
BLAZE PHOENIX:
(stirring, confused)
Hm!? Vic-
Victor generates a large boulder which instantly crushes Blaze Phoenix's skull from the inside.
Blood spurts all across the wall and on Victor's chest, as he shakes it off of his hands and wipes his weapon clean.
VICTOR:
That was for killing my team, you lunatic.
He walks out of the cell as Dr. Laye applauds him from the shadowy hallway.
DR. LAYE:
Well done, Vick. I didn’t think you had it in you…
VICTOR:
Oh please, Lana. This wasn’t about you…
DR. LAYE:
If Gate had only listened to me.. he would have lived!
VICTOR:
(dark)
No. He wouldn’t.
He walks out of the room as his superior is given pause.

INT. MAVERICK HUNTER BASE – Training Room – NIGHT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a hexagonal tiled chamber, X and Zero take turns knocking their fists against an indestructible punching block.
X:
Hoot. Hat..
ZERO:
Yah!!
As they train, the evening news reports from a TV suspended in the corner of the room.
ANCHOR:
(o.s, narrating)
Magma Dragoon, a former Maverick Hunter turned Repliforce Officer, has been confirmed dead at Krakatoa Volcano in Indonesia!
X narrows his brow with sharp eyes as his fist glows red.
X:
Hrrrt!
He upper cuts the punching bag as his entire suit of armor shifts to red and white.
ANCHOR:
(o.s, narrating)
At the scene were Maverick Hunters X and Zero, who take full ownership of his demise.
Zero takes out his Z-Saber and slashes away at the punching bag as his eyes glow red.
ANCHOR:
(o.s, narrating)
They proved that Dragoon was responsible for plummeting the Sky Lagoon into Southern Virginia, which incited the Great Repliforce War 2 weeks ago. The following is a clip of the dragon's words.
MAGMA DRAGOON:
(filtered, recording)
…You’re so naive. …Listen closely. I let the Sky Lagoon fall! And I’d do it again! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
X & ZERO:
(powered up, irate)
YYYAAAAHHHH!!!!!
The two let out a furious roar as X fires a deadly blast of flame in the air from his hand. Zero tilts his powered up saber into an uppercut as flames emit from his blade.
ANCHOR:
(o.s, narrating)
For the Maverick Hunters, justice was done. The Repliforce have made no comment at this time.
The two look at each other, surprised at their new power sets.
X:
(panting, sweating)
Whoa. Check you out!
ZERO:
(smiling)
Heh. You too. You’re not the only one who can upgrade his moves…
X:
(smiling)
Hm.
CAPTAIN:

Boys. Come upstairs now. Someone needs to see you.

Oh?
The two share a curious look from their com-link.

X and Zero arrive and are surprised to see Iris standing with their Commander near his central console.
X:
Huh?
ZERO:

Iris?
CAPTAIN:
Come quick. You two need to hear this.
IRIS:
(worried, panicked)
Its Frost Walrus… I'm scared.
[Insert Title Card – Impending Doom]
ZERO:
Hm??
IRIS:
He's made a terrible machine.
Zero scowls at her.
ZERO:
What did he do!??
She starts to cry out of guilt.
IRIS:
Ah.. I'm so sorry!
ZERO:
Tell me!!
IRIS:
It’s a Geo-thermal Reactor. He'll Freeze the Earth if we don’t act!
X gasps.
ZERO:
We!? Who exactly is “We” at this point.
IRIS:
(sobbing)
Damn it Zero, there’s no time for that. You did what you had to do to Dragoon. And maybe we were wrong.. I dunno. But I know that Frost is a threat and we have to do sooomethiingggg-ah-hyah-hah-haa-haa-hahaaaaaa…
Her pleads turn into pitiful tears as she sobs a blue streak across all of their faces. She collapses to her knees as she cries.
X:
(comforting)
Hey! Its okay…
He kneels down to Iris and rubs her back.
X:
You did the right thing..
Zero jealously looks down at X.
ZERO:
Hmph!
He walks up to Iris and puts out his hand, ready to help her up.
She looks up at Zero once and the tears stop.
X:
Hm?
She takes Zero's hand and is brought back to her feet.
ZERO:
I'm sorry… This whole thing has been intense.
IRIS:
I know. I'm so scared… (whispering) I don’t want to lose you.
His face immediately softens as he embraces her.
ZERO:
(soft, low)
Oh, God. I don’t want to lose you either…
CAPTAIN:
(clearing throat)
Ahem. I'll.. formulate a plan and we'll reconvene in the morning. I think it would behoove us all if we got a little sleep tonight.
X, Zero and Iris all nod to their Commander.
X, ZERO & IRIS:
Yes sir.

General fumes as he watches the latest report on the news from his command chair.
ANCHOR:
(filtered)
…and the latest polls are indicating a rapid decline in the public's trust in Repliforce. 15% believe that they are innocent, while 75% believe that Sky Lagoon was a conspiracy designed by Repliforce. A low 10% don’t know what to think, but even they feel like the Repliforce are hiding something.
General pounds his fist against the console in front of him, creating a large dent by his keypad.
GENERAL:
Damn it all! We're Failing!! (v.o, thinking) We need to get off this planet sooner than later.
He looks at the dwindling Repliforce activity. Soldiers are stationed at their Arctic Base and at their Space Fortress.
GENERAL:
The Humans and Hunters have left us no choice. …If all really is lost, then we need to make our mark on this World, before we start over in space.
He thinks back to the conversation at the dinner table on Thanksgiving.
COLONEL:
(o.s, v.o)
If for some reason, we found ourselves in a position where the entire World has turned on us… then yes.. Your device would prove very useful. But for now, we are really confident in our plan to Colonize Space.
FROST WALRUS:
(o.s, v.o)
Hmph… Figures…
General pensively strokes his chin.
GENERAL:
Hmmmm… (v.o, thinking) The scope of the World has changed drastically in the last 6 hours. They fear us and view us as an enemy. (sighing) I never should have signed Magma Dragoon on board. I knew his presence at the Sky Lagoon was questionable. But I believed he knew something about the Maverick Hunters that we did not. Why else would he betray them?? …Now the public World View has turned against us. They feel as if we had intended to bring down the Sky Lagoon. And that we sent Dragoon to do it! Well… At this moment, I have two choices. I can either attempt to smooth this over with the public… or I can give them something to fear.
He thinks back to his conversation with Sigma, months ago.
SIGMA:
(o.s, v.o)
It’s about the Maverick Hunters, General. They are far too eager to please the humans, and continue to hunt down the Reploids. Do you believe they pose a significant threat?
GENERAL:
(o.s, v.o)
…Perhaps…
SIGMA:
(o.s, v.o)
You already know the truth, General. Their sole mission has been to destroy any Reploids who fail to do as the humans order!
GENERAL:
(o.s, v.o)
Hmm…
SIGMA:
(o.s, v.o, insistent)
It’s in your best interest to stop them now, before they turn on you! You possess enough power to /destroy them!
General looks up at his screen with a dark glare in his eyes.
GENERAL:
I still do. The Maverick Hunters have disgraced us. If not for them, the public would still revere us. But now everything has changed. It’s time to deliver retribution unto them. And what better way to do so, than by using all of our resources!?
He com-links to Storm Owl from his console.
GENERAL:
Storm Owl, you have the green light. Fire upon any Maverick Hunter in sight!
STORM OWL:
(gasping, o.s, filtered)
Hh… Yes sir!
General then com-links to Frost Walrus.
GENERAL:
Frost Walrus, I've been thinking about your project and I've made a decision.
FROST WALRUS:
(o.s, filtered)
Oh?
GENERAL:
Ready the machine.
FROST WALRUS:
(gasping, o.s, filtered)
Really!? I thought th-
GENERAL:
The plan has changed. The World is turning on is and we owe the Humans nothing. You have my permission to freeze this planet before we leave it behind.
FROST WALRUS:
(shocked, excited, o.s, filtered)
Whoa!! I.. Thank you sir! I won’t let you down.
GENERAL:
The World already has, Walrus. The World already has…

A notification alerts Blizzard Wolfang to monitor the rapid changing weather patterns on his computer.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
Hmm?
He turns to his lab partners, Liam and Terrance, who are filling out their nightly log.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
Um. Do you guys see this?
TERRANCE:
What’s that?
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
Arctic temperatures just abnormally spiked up in the North Pole.
LIAM:
Its too late. We just finished our logs. I'm not writing a new one.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
Forget writing a log.. Do you guys want to see this?
Terrance walks right over to his screen, interested. Liam resigns himself with a sigh and slowly gets out of his seat.
LIAM:

Fiiine, I'll take a loo- Hoooly Moly, what is going on there?
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
You think it’s worth a look?

Ohh, I dunno man. Its getting late…
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
It'll probably be on the news. That'll make the boss happy.
TERRANCE:
Oh mann! This could be our big break!!
LIAM:
(indecisive, reluctant)
Ahhh. Malek and Zach are asleep already. We should just go to bed.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
We might not get a better chance than this. I think we should investigate.
TERRANCE:
Lets wake them up!
LIAM:
Nah, nah. Screw them. They snooze, they lose. We can do it, I guess. How long will it take to get there?
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
The next shuttle to the North Pole leaves in 20 minutes. It’s a 2 hour ride.
LIAM:
Wow.
TERRANCE:
We could do it! We could totally do it. We'd get back a little late, but it'd be worth it!!
LIAM:
(giving in)
Alriiiight.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
Yes! I'll run it by Gate. If he gives us the go ahead, I'll be outside in five minutes.

Frost Walrus has a giddy, satisfied grin on his face as he watches his machine at work.
FROST WALRUS:
(amazed)
Wooooow. What a night! Never in a million years did I think that this would actually happen.
Suddenly his computer blips with an alert.
FROST WALRUS:
(curious, intrigued)
Hm? Intruders..
He spots a wolf and two reploid scientists studying the area with scanners in their hands.
FROST WALRUS:
Interesting.

In a forest caked by snow and ice, Blizzard Wolfang investigates the night’s abnormal weather patterns with Liam and Terrance when suddenly a few Fly Gunners appear and fire at them without warning.
LIAM:
Ah!
TERRANCE:
What the-?
Three Knot Berets slide in from their snowboards.
KNOT BERET 1:
You’re trespassing!
KNOT BERET 2:
Orders are to execute on sight.
KNOT BERET 3:
Roger.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
Hm!?
The Knot Berets shoot at Liam and Terrance, which easily strike them down.
KNOT BERET 3:
E-AT. Take out the Wolf.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
What!?
A Maverick shaped like a yeti growls and runs after Blizzard Wolfang.
E-AT:
Brooouuurrrgghhhh
Blizzard Wolfang braces for impact and defends himself as he grabs the yeti's arms.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
Stop this! We're just Scientists. We mean you No harm!
KNOT BERET 1:
You shouldn’t have come here.
They all fire their blasters at him and the giant E-AT punches him down to the ground. That is when he finds that Liam and Terrance are dead.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
(frightened, growing irate)
What have you done? No! NNNOOOO!!!!
In a fit of anger, he forms a blade of ice around his hands. Then, he wildly attacks the E-AT. As shards of ice break everywhere, he tears open the yeti's torso.
Then, he ravages the three Knot Berets who stand frozen with fear. After they explode, he turns around to gaze at the Fly Gunners, which shot down his cohorts.
He crouches down and shoots out fragments of his Ice Burst with pinpoint accuracy. Each of the five Fly Gunners are destroyed.
BLIZZARD WOLFANG:
(shivering, worried)
Damn it. I'm going to get in so much trouble for this.

Caption: November 26th, 21XX – The Next Morning.
The Sun shines through Zero's window as we pan up to see him waking up with a smile on his face. His arm is around Iris, who peaks her head out of the covers.
She peacefully yawns and looks at him with sleepy eyes.
ZERO:
Good morning, beautiful.
IRIS:
(smiling)
Mm, I could get used to that.
She gives him a loving good morning kiss as suddenly the room is alerted with a distress signal.
ZERO:
Hm!?
Their kiss interrupted, Zero gets out of bed with a worried face.
Iris does the same as they both adjust their armored plating.
Zero answers the room phone.
ZERO:
(answering, reacting)
Hey, it’s me. ..What!? Already!? Shit. …Yeah, I'm on it.
Zero hangs up the phone and stares at the door.
IRIS:
What is it?
ZERO:
Frost Walrus activated the machine last night. X and the others are waiting for me.
She gasps in horror.
ZERO:
I have to go…
He walks toward the door and opens it.
IRIS:
I know. I won’t stop you.
He turns his head, with his back to her.
ZERO:
(smirking)
This time…
He offers her a wink and runs off.
She staggers in confusion and then blushes with a smile at her Red Hot Knight who valiantly rushes out to save the day.
IRIS:

Zero teleports to see X, Aeson, Venzo and Scorche standing next to a Frozen statue of Blizzard Buffalo’s corpse.
ZERO:
Hey guys. What’d I miss?
SCORCHE:
Nothin' yet.
ZERO:
Whoa! Is that-
X:
Blizzard Buffalo? Yeah…
VENZO:
Oh man! I remember!! 3 Ice guys escaped from Laguz Island, back when we were facing those Erasures.
X:
Frost Walrus must've taken care of them in self-defense.
ZERO:
Hmph. Back when we were allies…
AESON:
Good riddance. Blizzard Buffalo almost killed our whole Elite Unit!
X:
Well, if we're not careful, this one could too. The wolf pack is also here. We'd better catch up to them.
ZERO:
Ooh, nice. Lets take out this Walrus before he does any more damage!

INT. NORTH POLE – Ice Cavern – DAY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
They all swiftly run down a snowy hill as they enter a crystallized ice cavern.
They spot an E-AT yeti standing by a small snowman shaped mechaniloid known as a Yukidarubon. The small bot jumps after X and self-destructs at his feet.
X:
(reacting)
Ah, what?
E-AT:
Grrraaah!
The yeti smashes his foot against the snow, forming a short set of ice spikes from the ground, which also catch X by surprise.
X:
Whoa!
He takes a step back.
ZERO:
Hey!
Zero dashes into the yeti and destroys him with two slashes of his saber. Then, he leads the team down a small crevice, where they land before another E-AT. X hovers from his boots and takes out a small Yukidarubon with a level-2 shot.
Venzo throws a couple of boomerangs, which destroy the E-AT before them. Then, he and Zero climb up a short ice ladder to catch up to X’s position.
When Scorche climbs the ladder, it suddenly crumbles into dust.
SCORCHE:
What the-?
AESON:
Did you just.. destroy the ladder?
Aeson leads the way with a kick-jump up the rocky wall. Scorche follows suit.
After climbing up, they spot X scanning the area with his radar. The rest of the team has moved on.
X:
(distracted)
You two go ahead. I found something.
His armor turns red and white, as he effortlessly shoots a fireball out of his right hand, towards a block of ice at the ceiling.
SCORCHE:
(surprised)
Whoa!
Aeson and Scorche watch X catch a heart fragment that falls down from the melted block of ice.
X:
Ooh. Wow!
AESON:
What’s that?
X:
It’s a heart fragment. They help me upgrade my inner-core system.
AESON:
Wow! That’s so cool!!
Aeson looks at his Commander in awe and runs off with a smile on his face.
X:
Heh.
X takes out his incomplete heart tank from his compartment belt and adds this to his collection.
SCORCHE:
Oh hey, that reminds me. I found this in the jungle when we recovered that giant beam cannon.
X:
Hm?
Scorche pulls out another heart fragment and hands it to X.
X:
Whoa! Really?? Thanks Scorche!! Now the Heart Tank is almost complete.
SCORCHE:
(smiling)
You’re welcome. Glad to help.
He jumps down a short crevice and X follows him.

Zero and Venzo run and dash down a slick, icy slope as they chase down a few Knot Berets who are snowboarding away from them.
ZERO:
Hey! Get back here!!
He catches up to a Knot Beret and slashes him with the pink Shippuuga.
KNOT BERET 1:
(dying)
Awgh!
They drop down to another icy slope, where Venzo stylishly throws boomerangs at two Knot Berets, which explode upon contact.
VENZO:
Haha! Yes!!
-pan further behind-
Aeson is carefully traveling down a snowy, rocky slope where many spiked icicles await between a set of small pillars.
X and Scorche are not far behind Aeson.
When they catch up with each other, they climb a small mountain and kick-jump up a wall only to see the icy frame of a deceased Crystal Snail.
AESON:
Whoa! Is that.. Crystal Snail..!!?
X takes a deep breath and acknowledges this with a nod.
X:
We have to be careful.
-pan farther ahead-
Zero and Venzo narrowly dash-jump past a large spike trap as the ice slop crumbles at their feet.
VENZO:
Whooa! That was close.
The two continue to slide down a new slope of ice, just by a large wall, which leads back into the cavern.
ZERO:
Shya. We gotta be careful.
-pan up-
X, Aeson and Scorche pass the large spike trap from a freshly formed slope of ice. Then, X’s radar blips again as they make it to an ice wall.
[RADAR]:
Unknown Power Source, located above.
X:
(curious)
Hm??
Scorche and Aeson drop down below on the ice slope and are taken by force down the slippery ramps while X continues to kick-jump up toward his mysterious prize. With a short ceiling of rock above him, he decides to switch to Lightning Web.
X:
(v.o, thinking)
Hm.. Gotta try this again.
He fires a yellow web, which he uses as a backboard to bounce off and give him the ability to reach the top of the mountain.
Once up there, he analyzes the object further.
X:
Hmmm. I’ve never seen this before. Any ideas Radar?
[RADAR]:
My best guess would be that it’s a Power-Cell used to operate something, sir.
X:
Hmmm…
X holds onto the item and decides to com-link over to Research and Development.
X:
Hey, Lucas. This is X. I found something interesting at the Repliforce Arctic Base; Gonna send it to you for further analysis.
LUCAS:
(o.s, filtered)
That’s what we do best.
X:
Thanks Luke. Sending it over now.
He wraps a teleporter ring around the Power-Cell and sends it away.

INT. NORTH POLE – Open Ice Cavern – DAY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the group drops down from the last crumbling slope and into a part of the cavern with large holes in the walls. Through a giant crack in the wall, a beautiful forest caked with snow can be seen in the background as Zero and the others run ahead and take out another Yukidarubon and E-AT that are in their way.
They stop at the edge of a cliff when a strange phenomenon occurs.
Snow has managed to get inside the open cavern to the point where large gusts of wind have been frozen into ice platforms, which actually make their way up to the team.
ZERO:
What the Hell?
AESON:
(shocked)
The ice is moving.. upward!
VENZO:
Uhh. How do we get through this one?
X:
(o.s)
Carefully.
GROUP:
Hm?
They all turn around to see that X has joined them.
ZERO:
Finally… I was starting to think that you got lost.
X:
(smiling)
No.. I’m still here.
He passes them by and assesses the situation. He fires level one shots at the ice platforms, but they merely ricochet off like useless pellets.
X:
Hmph. We don’t know how long this wind gust will last, so we have to be really careful. Just follow my lead.
X, Aeson, Scorche, Venzo and Zero slowly and carefully hop onto the ice platforms and attempt to make their way down, against the flow of the air, which blows the ice platforms upward.
The ice platforms shatter upon hitting the walls and ceiling of the cavernous area, which serve as an obstacle for the group to surpass as they cautiously descend.
By following X’s careful lead, they all manage to make it safely to a ledge at the bottom of the cavern.
Then, they spot a gateway before them.
VENZO:
Whoa.
ZERO:
This is it, guys.
X and Zero take the lead as the rest follow behind them.

INT. REPLIFORCE ARCTIC BASE – Security Entrance – DAY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The moment they enter the room, X gasps at the frozen corpse of Chill Penguin, standing there with a hurt wince forever etched on his face. When the gate closes behind them, an ice de voux appears, which drops everyone’s guard.
ZERO:
(disappointed)
Guess not.
Aeson laughs at it’s presence.
AESON:
AHahahahaaa! I remember these things from Blizzard Buffalo. They’re so weak that even I could take this one!
Suddenly the Ice de voux spins it’s ear panels and wraps itself up in a huge threatening coating of ice, which is shaped like that of a three-fingered claw. It has transformed into an Eyezard.
AESON:
Whoooa! Nevermind. Maybe I really can’t take this one!
Aeson runs into the corner of the room, while Venzo throws a few boomerangs at it. The boomerangs ricochet off, ineffective.
Scorche steps up, in between X and Zero who glare at the beast.
SCORCHE:
I’ll take you on, you bastard!
He fearlessly pulls out his flame whip and gives it a quick lash in the eye.
EYEZARD:
(affected)
Gyaaaaahh.
X:
Good idea!
The claw immediately clamps up and retreats towards Aeson’s side of the room, which freaks him out.
AESON:
Aaah, aah aaaah! Get it away from me.
ZERO:
Shut uuuup, you wimp!
Zero dashes over to Aeson’s position and pulls out his saber, glaring at the beast.
When the Eyezard opens his claws again, it lowers itself to Aeson, who cowers in fear.
AESON:
NOOOO!!!!
ZERO:
I GOT THIS ONE!!
He jumps with his saber tilted up as a large orange flame /emits from his beam.
ZERO:
/Ryuenjin!
Zero announces his new flame attack as he destroys the overpowered Eyezard directly above Aeson. As the Eyezard explodes, so does a portion of the wall ahead of them.
AESON:
Whoa.. Oh my God. You saved my life.
Zero narrows his eyes at Aeson as he helps him up.
ZERO:
Man up! Are you an Elite or not…?
Aeson gives Zero a surprised look, but deep down he knows he’s right.
X:
Hey. A wall opened up. Looks like we finally made it.
ZERO:
Good!
Zero runs inside the Base’s entrance without hesitation. Venzo quickly joins him along with Scorche.
X stays behind with Aeson.
X:
That thing really gave you a scare, huh?
AESON:
Yeah! I don’t know what came over me. I’m sorry I-
X:
Shh. Don’t even worry about it. Just take a deep breath and follow me.
X gives him a genuine smile and runs into the base without looking back.
Aeson smiles and follows him.
AESON:
(v.o, thinking)
I’m so glad X is my Commander.

ALIA:
Well, that’s that. Blizzard Wolfang is in the probation chamber and I calmed him down.
DR. LAYE:
So what do you make of all this, Alia?
ALIA:
(uncomfortable)
I don’t know… I mean, I'll admit that Gate's inventions have all had a tendency to be extreme.. But… I wouldn’t say that any of them were Maverick. Especially Wolfang!
MALEK:
Well, I'm pissed. He snuck off with my team and killed our friends. I don’t believe it was the Repliforce for a second.
ALIA:
Awe come on! You can’t think that!!
ZACH:
No, Alia. So far, none of Gate's creations could be trusted. What should make us think that Wolfang is any different?
ALIA:
The fact that he’s always been upfront and honest with you.
MALEK:
He snuck off with half my team without my permission and he went over my head. Now they’re dead. That’s too convenient for me.
Alia frowns with nothing to say.

Hmm. Maybe you’re right… I do see your points. But maybe if he can do something.. to prove himself!
DR. LAYE:
No. I've had it with Gate and his creations. He's out of chances. We will have to eliminate the Wolf and you’re going to be the one to do it.
ALIA:
(horrified, scared)
What!? M-me!? Why??
DR. LAYE:
Because Gate won’t do it and Wolfang trusts you the most. He would suspect something from us.
ALIA:
I can’t. I could never… He didn’t do anything wrong.
DR. LAYE:
You can’t prove that. And we can’t run the risk, any longer.
