A Maverick Hunter Christmas Special



A/N: Well, not on the X series but my EXE canon series. As always, I never own any official characters what-so-ever except my customs. Be prepared for some minor humor during this minor one-time story. Why I didn’t include it with my other thread is hardly no one reads ‘em... so yeah.

-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-=~=-

The location is EMHHQ in Ajiina. And, there’s a field of white snow across the fields, and snow covered trees. And as always, the streets around the lots plowed and salted.

The building is as busy as ever, what with the main living room on Floor 2. It rivaled the size of Yaito’s living room at her home in Electopia, in fact, twice as large as her main living room.

In the center of the remodeled living room was a very large Christmas tree neatly and beautifully decorated, the different ornaments hung around the tree shaped like the heads of all the cyberworld’s existent NetNavis, and a few virus shaped ornaments here and there.

And littered all around are gifts from friends and family for everyone who not only worked here at EMHHQ, but also live here. In Maverick Hunter Area 1, in its large space, was a cyber version of the Christmas tree.

“Christmas cards from our friends in Electopia... we consider our family, and gifts galore.” David lay back in the couch, holding his pregnant wife. She was due to give birth in a month, and he was happy to be a daddy in a month.

“Yup,” Alia replied, holding her large stomach lightly, with a smile on her face. David gently got up and headed out to grab some food from the Mess Hall downstairs.

Exiting the elevator, he walked up to the new receptionists Rouge and Joan.

“Hey girls. Any new cards that came in?”

Joan was busy, but Rouge looked away from her holo keyboard and handed him a crimson sealed envelope. “Just one sir. Addressed to you.”

“Thanks Rouge.” And he headed towards the other door, and took the stairs downstairs to the mess hall, which was busy as usual. With Christmas being in just a few days, he had to make room for those who had family coming here this year, so there were a few children running around the base.

“Hey Joe, let me have the usual lunch,” David called out to his friend at the bar hop, tossing him his credit card. The man nodded and prepared the usual order to the cooks in the kitchen while swiping the card, and then handed it back to David, who pocketed it away.

“So, what’s new around?”

“The usual stuff. The Organization strikes again, and we finally were able to delete Hellspitter Juggernaut. That just leaves those teenage viruses and Shadow.”

“Hmm, you know you’ll win the war against Shadow. You have my support on this whole matter you know. Everyone does.”

“Yeah, thanks Joe.” He grabbed the packed food and left the Mess Hall, and shortly returned to the living room, where the other Veteran Hunters were. Except Forte, he has still vanished for the time being.

Luckily, everyone else had their own lunches, ForteZero and Leviathan sharing their lunch together and sharing cuddles and quick kisses.

“Hey Dave, what’s the card for?”

“For us actually. Of course Forte isn’t here but, knowing him, he’s locating Sonance to kill her.”

David opened it, and on the card, was Shadow wearing a Santa hat. Beside him were Slayers Kato and Lemon, also wearing Santa hats, but Kato had a pouty look, which depicted he didn’t enjoy this. Merry Christmas was written above them in red and green Lucida Handwriting.

“What the fuck? I’m surprised he remembered us, but at the same time I am very disturbed.”

He flipped it open, and read the message inside.

Dear pathetic losers,

I know what you are thinking but hey, it’s the holidays so why not call it a truce for now? Despite our desire to turn your organs inside out and shed your blood for a nice relaxing bath, we thought you should know that even if we're enemies, it doesn’t mean we have to try to kill each other the entire year. I will not totally guarantee that I am in a holly jolly mood, but for now let’s just enjoy the holidays until New Years or something, or until the Organization decides to pull another terrorist stunt.

Happy Holidays, you pricks!

Shadow, Kato, Lemon, and the staff at Shadow Nightmare INC.

“What the hell? Prick!?” David shouted in surprised rage.

“Prick?” Zero asked, holding back the urge to laugh.

“Who’s a prick?” Markus asked, walking in. Kristi followed in shortly after Markus.

“Shut up! Stop saying that word...”

A chuckle was heard in Zero’s direction. “What? Prick?” Zero was knocked flat off his rear with a well-aimed smack from a spare Sub-Tank.

“... It’s a holiday greeting from Shadow, if you call it a greeting.”

“Makes me wonder if he was high on crack...”

David growled a bit, but just closed the card and tossed it in the trash. The others just sighed, while Alia held her husband to clam him down, which worked well, and Zero had the Sub-Tank’s front printed on his face as a red mark.

Marino smiled a bit. “Well, we should just make sure we keep an eye out on Shadow then. You never know when he’ll go back on his word. I mean, he isn’t exactly granted for Most Trustworthy being in the Cyberworld.”

After awhile, everyone disbursed and resumed their normal activities. ForteZero and Leviathan locked themselves in their bedroom... both of them had the looks of two horney teenagers.

Zero went to the Training Simulation Center and decided to train himself by going up against the viruses of the dead Rebellion Army. David and Alia, well David is doing most of the work and Alia is doing much of the work as she possibly can do, with help from Layer and Pallette, down at the Command Room. Marino was watching Zero from the Rest Area, Markus and Kristi was helping Lifesaver in the Meditech Hospital since a few of the personnel had gotten sick, and everyone else went about their daily routines.

Later that afternoon, David decided to take a break, by racing across the once grassy hills on a Barius Ride Chaser. ForteZero was also with him, trying to outrace his Net-op. They were bundled up well, well David mostly. Reploid shells can adapt to the harshest of terrain enviroment, SO other than his normal clothes, ForteZero also wore a coat which was similar to Seto Kaiba's from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.

“So, what were you and Leviathan doing in your rooms? I had several complaints of something adult-like happening.”

“Oh shut up!” ForteZero yelled, his blush well hidden because of the scarf wrapped around his lower face.

“I’m starting to regret making my reploid technology to be as human as physically possible.”

ForteZero didn’t decide to retort with a comeback and just kept quiet. Back in the lobby, was a similar conversation between Leviathan, and Joan and Rouge.

“Leviathan, we had several complaints of something going on in the bedroom you share with your boyfriend,” Rouge said, looking through the digital work that were coming in every few minutes or so.

“Ohh, be quiet Rouge. You wouldn’t know much since you and Joan are still single.”

“We had plenty of dates, but the guys we’ve met so far are nothing but assholes.”

“Well keep your mind out of the gutter and stick to your work Rouge, Joan. I mean it’s not like we do it every single night...” She sighed and picked herself off from leaning against the side of the desk, and headed off to go play pool in the Hunter’s Rec Center on Floor 2.

In the cyberworld portion of Electopia, in Electopia’s Internet City, was RockMan, Roll, Axl, and Lumine.

“So, what should we do since we’re on winter break?” RockMan asked.

“We should go see if there’s any good Net-Battles happening at the Net Colleseum,” said Axl.

“Or we could go shopping,” Roll said.

“I am still impressed with the massive update on Internet City this month,” Lumine said, looking over a stand where a merchant was selling digital plush toys of NetNavis. There were some that caught this eye, which was plush toys of David; one in the Command Armor, one in a Forte Cross Rock variant, and the third in a Sol Cross Rock variant. The plush toys were a new internet collectible that NetNavis can collect, much like the humans with their hobbies of collecting what’s the latest craze and whatnot. After a few minute,s everyone just split up and decided to return back to Netto's PC at five o'clock.

Shadow sighed, wondering why he went along with this, watching the tree get set-up in the main area of Shadow Nightmare Area 3.

“I must have been drunk when I thought I could be nice this year...” He groaned even more, when he started hearing moans coming from the teen viruses’ room, “God damn kids are at it again. I need new fucking friends.” And off he went back to his dark room.

Once arriving, he flopped down in his chair made of horned human skulls and bones, taking a sip form his cyber eggnog drink.

The sun was setting. The clouds were in though and it was snowing lightly again. At the second floor balcony, was David and Alia watching the falling snow, bundled in warm winter clothes.

“The snow is beautiful...”

David smiled and kissed his wife gently. “Yeah, it is...”

Zero spotted the two, and walked out and joined them. “Watching the falling snow eh?”

“Yup.”

“Make’s me glad that nature can be beautiful despite today’s worldly problems...”

In no time, the main cliché of the gang all stood outside, as the Christmas lights switched on, enveloping the entire building in a finely decorated glory of multi-color lights, a few strands around the door entrances decorated with hanging icicles.

On ground level, a few of the trees were decorated with lights as well. All in all, the entire building was in the festive atmosphere.

“They’re starting to serve out marshmallows and hot cocoa in the living room. We should go before they run dry,” Marino suggested before she and Cinnamon headed back inside. Zero, ForteZero, and Leviathan followed shorty after the two girls, and Massimo followed last, leaving the two humans to continue watching the snow fall.

“I’m glad that we’ll be having a daughter in a month, when we went for the baby's first sonogram at the local clinic downtown...”

David smiled and held Alia closer, kissing her neck softly and holding her closer. “It’ll be fun raising a family...” Alia remained quiet, but cooed when her husband kissed her once more, before the two headed inside for some hot drinks.

Nice... a bit short, but comforting enough for me. A little bit of humor was in it too. So, I am done here.
