Stage 1: Baptism of fire
[Arriving at drop point in 35 seconds]Axl: Hey, new one, do you copy? Since X and Zero aren't here remember that I'm in charge, ok? Once the target is in range fire at will, got it?
Drake: Aye sir.
Axl: You don't have to call me sir ok?
Drake: Copy that.
As the transport came close at the drop point, Drake downloaded all the data on the mechaniloid that was gone maverick.
[Drop point reached]
Drake jumped down of the transport, charging his blast.
On the ground the things weren't go well. The mechaniloid seemed to be a tough one: a heavy building mechaniloid, sturdy, strong, big.
The hunters tried to immobilize it with the cables, while Axl was trying to do some damage to it.
Axl: Hey new one, maybe it's better if you charge that blast a lot.
Drake: Already doing.
The mechaniloid was in sight, but not in range. Drake waited a little more. When he was only a few dozens of meters from the ground he fired the charged blast. Under the power of that blow, the mechaniloid seemed to collapse on itself. Using a building to control his fall, Drake landed without a scratch, and ran to see if the target was effectively deactivated.
Suddenly, the damaged mechaniloid stood up, sweeping away any hunter was close to it.
Drake: The target is not deactivated.
Axl: I can see that, thanks.
Drake: Orders?
Axl: The main generator, we have to-
The mechaniloid grabbed one of the hunters, like it heared what Axl was saying, and was using him as a shield for the generator, that was in the lower part of it.
Axl: Damn...
Drake: I got it.
He started to run towards the machine, activating the plasma blades on the right arm and charging once again the blaster.
Axl: Wait!
With one single fluid move, Drake cut the arm of the mechaniloid and with a leap to avoid the lasers, he fired at the generator.
The machine shutted down, and Drake helped the hurted reploid.
Drake: Your arm is missing.
"You cut it." Said Axl coming close.
Axl: You didn't see it, but you cut the arm of this reploid.
Drake: Sorry.
Reploid: Don't worry, the engineers will fix it. I'm glad that you took me out of that situation. Thanks.
Two reploids took him and bringed him away on a stretcher.
Axl: Listen, I know that you could feel guilty now but-
Drake: I'm not feeling guilty.
Axl: What?
Drake: What I've done was the most logic thing to do, knowing my capabilities.
Axl: I was forgetting that you're a war reploid. Best results with lowest losses huh?
Drake: Yes sir.
Axl: Well, good job. Ehm, don't say to Zero and X that I couldn't do nothing ok?
Drake: Is that an order?
Axl: Lets say yes...
Drake: I won't say nothing sir.
