It was three o' clock in the morning. Most sane people would have been asleep at that time. Zero was neither sane nor asleep. In fact, at that moment, he was far too busy cursing up a storm to even think about what time it was.
"Damn it!" he swore aloud as he ducked yet another attempt to remove his head from his body. [This is Hunter Zero, requesting backup in the Ruins. I am under attack by Mavericks! I repeat, I am under attack by Mavericks! Damn it, somebody wake up and get their butt over here!] He barely managed to transmit his coordinates before one of the Mavericks - how many of these guys were there?! - took another potshot at him.
Behind him, two Mavericks grinned at each other, then raised their swords, deadly vibro-blades, as they prepared to attack.
