In the halls of the Reality Vanish Hunter base, if one listened carefully, one could hear... humming. Yes, humming. For the first time in what felt like ages, Axl was in a good mood. He knew what he wanted, he was allowed to do it, and, most importantly, it was possible. Possible and confirmed as of this afternoon ( Read more... )

Well. Things had certainly been interesting lately. Not that that was necessarily a good thing. Nightmare going berserk... yeah, not a good thing. At least they'd managed to bring him back to his senses.

But then X had been injured in a ruins excursion, leaving Nightmare with no one to feed from. When Axl found out about this, the solution had ( Read more... )

That conversation with Signas could have gone better, but it could have gone a whole lot worse. For the time being, I'm stuck here.

I'm not sure I have Signas' confidence that I'll be able to go back to the way I was before Lumine. I can't just pretend that it never happened and that it didn't affect me.

Spoke with X, too. Told him about what I ( Read more... )

Axl slept the sleep of the dead. It felt like it had been a very long week indeed.

Although his meeting with that other Harpuia in the Nexus had contributed to his stress, it was probably the furthest thing from his mind. Of more immediate concern was what had happened after he'd checked up on Serin after that run-in with that shadow Zero in the ( Read more... )

Axl entered his room at the hostel and dismissed his armor before gratefully laying down on the bed. His first excursion to the Nexus hadn't been particularly tiring. Irritating, but not tiring. He hadn't enjoyed meeting that alternate of his ( Read more... )

I met one of X's relatives today. Blues. The original robot prototype. Not quite what the history books want us to believe. He mentioned something really interesting, a place called the Nexus, where apparently fiction can become reality ( Read more... )

That meeting with Zero and X really could have gone better. It could have gone worse, too, but it could have gone better ( Read more... )

Axl teleported directly into his room at the hostel, feeling very grumpy about how his morning had gone. So close. He'd come so close to laying the groundwork for getting close to an alternate of Zero. He'd even gone so far as to fantasize about the possibility of stealing that one's DNA. Then an X had appeared and thrown a wrench in his plans. Now ( Read more... )

As Axl climbed into the recharge pod, he thought about how the day had gone. After his sentience testing, he had gone to the library to look up information on the energy shields that his tester had used. That, in turn, had led to his encounter with Blaze. That conversation had not started off well, but in the end, they'd parted ways amicably enough ( Read more... )

The past day had certainly been... interesting, to say the least. Axl had run into someone he was convinced was an alternate of Layer. The name even matched, although she didn't look anything like the Layer he knew. She had given him directions to the Maverick Hunters headquarters.

On his way there, he had run into an alternate of X. That had been ( Read more... )
