*Dudeman roles forward and shoots his gun but misses* HA!!!! Think you could get me that easily? Yeah right. I've fought kids harder than this!!! What else you got?

*lands and spins on one foot, giving a very LOUD screech sound that'll break glass and possibly mess with Dudeman's circuitry a bit*

ACK!!!! What was that?!?!?!?! Hmmmmm. You asked for it! *dudeman charges and shoots a GIGANTIC beam*

Wah! *just barely gets into the air as the charged shot is fired; gets hit from the waist down and is knocked back to the ground* ... *panting as her armor sparks* You're almost as good as X... *growls as she says this, getting to her feet somewhat unstably and gets her saber ready again, this time it appears to shake a bit, since she is with pain*

*He's been watching her. She's beautiful, but he keeps his mind on his task. He has tried many times to capture her, though she doesn't know, and will get her this time. Wait, someone else is there. DUDEMAN!!!! I'll rip him circuit from circuit. He knows Redips told me to get her and that she is MY task. He'll pay dearly. He exits his alley looking right at her*

*notices DragonmanX now and growls* Trying to double team me? *her wings quiver, a signal she's about to attack with them, even as she draws attention hopefully away from this sign with her saber, slashing the air to get ready to another attack*

She sees me. Crud. *Whips out PP9 and racks the slide* Let's party. *Gets within speaking distance* Hello Destiny. I see Dudeman here got the bad luck of fighting you.

*gives a cynical chuckle* Who's bad luck? *armor continues to spark* i underestimated this dingbat and now he's gonna get better. *wings stiffen behind her, each feather now more pronounced...*

I say his bad luck, but you're the one fighting him. I've seen you fight. You're good. Even being labeled a maverick, you can surrender to us, and we'd be happy to have you along. I would love to work alongside you rather than hunting you down to capture you. Make your choice. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to bring you to Commander Redips and protect you from epsilon. He wants you for his team. I once was a maverick myself, but I went traitor and joined the rebellion. My mission as a maverick was to capture you so epsilon could use you for his purposes.

*laughs aloud* Oh wouldn't THAT be nice...*shakes her head* Sorry, but I got my Treasures to protect even if that continues to label me as a maverick because of how I collect some of them. *nods to Dudeman* That's why this pinhead even found me - I just added a new one. *spreads the hand that does have the saber in it (left hand) - this is the one with the traces of blood on it* Humans disgust me, you should know that by watching me, why should I defend all of them when only 1/2 deserve it, explain that one...

We don't defend them all. We defend the ones that need/want it. I could care less how many people you've killed and how much blood is on your hands. It, for the most part, is for a good reason. But, if you insist...*levels his gun with her chest*

*gives another screech and flaps her wings forward before taking off; the feathers have come off (not all, just about 1/2 of them) and are being projected at DragonmanX and Dudeman like throwing knives, just much more sharp than that* I can't let you do that, now, can I? *glides a small distance away with what's left of her wings and starts to run again, towards where she left her Treasures, as she calls them*

*he ducks and fires a few hundred shots but most miss*That's it!!!! Hyper mode, DragonfireXecute!!!!!*A bright light encases him and he emerges in a new, powered up form. Whips out an F9 Eagle Assault rifle and opens fire* You won't escape this time!!!! No puny feathers will penetrate my armor! You are going to regret this!*Points gun at Dudeman and fires about 50 rounds into him*Loser. Stay out of my way.

*sweatdrops as she runs off; ducks into an alley and hits her waist button again, dropping her armor as she tries to sneak away* What did you get into this time, Des........ *wishes she knew where Zero was...all she remembers is when Wily put them both asleep in different places to make sure one survived in the future...she's HEARD he's around, but has never seen him in the metal, so is unsure*

Freak. I know she went that way. *reaches for radio* Zero...Zero...Come in. I've found Destiny. She ran northwest of the ruins. I'm in pursuit. *hopes Epsilon doesn't find her first*
