(W H E E Z E THIS TOOK TOO LONG--) 


The office room was dark and brooding. The ambient hum of machinery wiring, and static from computer screens kept the silence at bay. However, the lingering feeling of anxiety, stress, and determination radiated from two extraterrestrial beings. 


X sat down at a desk, nervously fiddling with his glasses. He and Four had finished planning out their mission on finding Leafy. But..how things would go? it was going to be...hard. Man..this was a first for him, he..didn't develop all that many offensive abilities like Four. And...going out and hunting a highly powerful and dangerous entity with your super powers alone? X..wasn't ready. 

"Ok. I think I'm ready." Four stood near X, whom looked up to him quickly, straightening up. "A-ah..ok...I shall..reprise the plan..." X took a breath. "In order to secure L34FY-002 despite our technological failures, we shall venture to Yoy-level 12...where...the 'Evil Series' project took place...and find L34FY-002E......and uh..." X began to stutter a bit. He..forgot how complicated this all was going to be...but Four chimed in.

"We will capture L34FY-002E, see if the original 002 has met up with her. If she did, we capture her. If not, we will use 002E to do an advanced genetic data track to find 002." Four closed his eyes, taking a breath. "We incapacitate 002E, freeze her solid, and then I will secure her in EXIT." Four lamented on EXIT, a pocket dimension he developed within his soul that could trap people inside, with all of these chambers apparently doing nothing to stop Evil Leafy..he figured...a pocket dimension would work..? 


"Four...I-I don't know about this." X shrunk into his seat, cupping his hands together. "I know we're powerful in this place but...these evil subjects...I have a bad feeling..they were made using thinks the speaker boxes shouldn't have dared got into...i'd say i guess..demonic things.." 

"And..?" Four raised an eyebrow.

"I dunno I..I think we'll be in grave danger with L34FY-002E..." X closed his eyes, taking a breath.

"...X, it's going to be ok. I have my zappies..my screech..my mutilation touch.. and so on.." Four assured his comrade..but he was still unsure of this..

"Four..I know but..I don't have such powers...only the basics..." He felt somewhat ashamed, X's anxiety always led to him following behind his colleagues, both at home, and at work..but suddenly..X felt a pair of hands touching his own hands gently..Four chimed in.

"But you have regeneration...and pain resistance....not only will you endure whatever happens much better than I will....but you can also heal me X." 

This statement gave X assurance..but at the same time..confusion. "B-But Four! you can revive others!"

Four shook his head. "I may be able to recover people with my bare hands, but I can't recover myself. You on the other hand can heal both yourself and others." he closed his eyes a bit.

"And that's why I need you with me...you're helpful...you're my assistant X." Four looked down and squeezed X's hands softly, before patting them reassuringly, then letting go. 

X looked in silent surprise at Four...he and him were always the best of friends..cohorts...comrades...he got up, smiling a bit, feeling more confident in his abilities...but also a bit warm inside..

"Come on, we have some subjects to capture." Four walked out of the office through the lab, X followed.

white wards after white wards, the scientists went through the lab. they eventually exited the main level of the lab in which they worked in.
