"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, X!"

Ostrich faced the B-Class Hunter who had come for him...only weeks prior they had been friends but now...

Now everything was different...

"When I lost my wings they FORCED me to retire! I could have still been a hunter, I could have still helped, but they THREW ME OUT LIKE A PIECE OF WORTHLESS SCRAP!"

X looked at Ostrich...He really didn't want to do this...

"That may be...It's horrible what the Hunters did to you but...That doesn't excuse what you've done in Return!"

X aimed his buster at his former friend....

"Stand down and come in for questioning....We don't have to fight..."

Ostrich sneered.

"You know that's not gonna happen, X"

The two charged at one another...

Only one made it out that day...

"Char, Eagle's up there on the Balcony again"

Charlie looked up from her chair to see..

Yep, Eagle was indeed standing on the Balcony once more...

Not even flying, he was just...standing there...

"That's the fourth time this week..." Charlie scrunched up her face "What do you think he's doing up there?"

Vaggie shrugged. "No idea..."

"What does he even do up there?" Charlie asked herself...

Vaggie stared up at him...

"He just kinda.....stands up there...sometimes he flies around but sometimes he just...stands there..."

"Maybe it's his thinking spot or something...." Charlie couldn't explain why he was doing this so constantly but...

It wasn't really hurting anyone...

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eagle had been doing this the past few days because...

He'd been sensing...someone....

Someone familiar....

"How many was that?" Clara asked her sister as she rummaged through the pile of Junk.

"Only like 3...damn those Cannibals got to this fast..."

Odette frowned, and tossed some of the miscellaneous Junk over to Octopus...
