Nova's Story - Maverick Hunter
Prologue PT1 - Cold Falling Stars
It was the year 21XX....Mavericks attacks are on the rise. But even with all the struggles, there are those who
try to go on with their lives.
"Doctor...Doctor!"
A man was sleeping at a desk, startled by the sudden awakening
"Huh, Wha? I'm here"
The person calling him was a woman in her mid-twenties who seemed to be his assistant. She had a frantic look on her face.
"The Meteor! It hit"
This made the man jump out of his chair and grab a nearby coat
"Where!?"
The man ran out of the room while trying to put his coat on and accidently put it on backwards. She followed behind.
"At Point 3-13, just as we thought"
They turned at a corner and ran into another person, toppling them all to the floor.
"Hey, watch where you're going!"
The doctor and the assistant bowed apologetically while trying to keep moving.
They exited out into the night-time, the cold air sending a chill down the doctor's spine.
"Brrr...why so cold at this time of the year?"
"DOCTOR NEXUS! Let's keep moving please."
Dr. Nexuse's attention was caught again and he got into a small sedan, already revving.
The drive was 3 hours and while it was a frustrating ride, they made it to their destination.
They were greeted by a man in official military attire.
"Dr. Nexus, we have sealed the area at your discreation"
"Good Job. Any casualties?"
"No sir, only startled animals"
Nexus was pleased with this information " Good good, keep the area sealed off from civilians"
"Joseph!"
Another woman appears, who was in her late thirties, wearing a simple windbreaker
"Lianne, we made it. What's the situation?"
"The meteor struck at the 12:18 and there is a high source of radiation coming from inside the meteor"
She cleared her throat and continued "Strangely though, the outside of the meteor is extremely cold, which surprised me"
Nexus registered the information while the his assistant wrote down the information on a notepad.
"Show me it..."
Lianne gave a nod and gestured them to follow her. After passing a couple of couple of guards and going through
a security check, the enter an area surround by equipment. There, in the center was the meteor.12 feet in width and making a crater
about 20 feet deep into the earth. Even though it seemed like a normal meteorite, Nexus was in awe.
"This meteor...This meteor will pave the way for the future! Unlimted energy...The power to give energy for entire countries!"
Suddenly, the sound of helicoptor blades was heard on the winds, which started to make Nexus and Lianne very anxy.
"Damnit, we haven't even done anything yet"
The wind picked up and a light from above shined on all three of them. As the light drew closer, it was shown that it came off a helicoptor
with a man in a general's uniform appearing out of the side. It landed and he popped out of the passenger seating along with 2 other high-
ranking.
"Dr. Nexus, I'm General Ben Grafor. This site is now under full military operation."
"You guys always appear where you're not wanted."
Grafor shrugged it off "It came from the top, not my problem. I'm just there for the rock"
Nexuse's eye jumped at the thought that someone would call it a rock.
"It's a meteor"
"Whatever, my scientist are here to take it and put the energy for military use"
"This is MY research and I will not let you take it"
Grafor made a nasty sneer "You don't have a choice Dr. Nexus. Tell ya what, after we take the energy source, we'll give you the shell"
All that did was piss off Nexus more. He was about to pull off a bad gesture when Lianne grabbed his arm to stop him.
Grafor turned away from both of them and walked towards the meteor.
After Grafor took a short walk around the meteor, an officer runs up towards him telling him some information that frustrated him.
He then calls Nexus to him so they could speak.
"What do you want now? My Home, My Wife, maybe more of my work?"
Grafor was silent for a moment.
"My higher up has told me to ask of your services:
Nexus gave a forced laugh "Hah, why? What does the big, bad military need with someone like me?"
"It seems that the meteor's energy is very unstable, we need you to stabelize and put it into a use for our purposes"
"What are you making? A giant lazer to scratch your ass from space?"
Grafor clenched is teeth, then regained his composure.
"I suggest you talk with my higher up for more information"
Nexus gave it a good long thought.
"Okay...Where do we meet?"
End of PT1
PT2: A Lost Soul and a New Life.
Dawn had broken on a cold morning. A worried women in a night outfit pacing in the kitchen of a condo, waiting
for someone. Just then, there was the creak of the door and walked in a man wearing a heavy coat and carrying a small briefcase.
She ran to the door and into the man's arms.
"Joseph, where've you been? You've been gone for hours. I was worried sick"
They walked back into the kitchen where Joseph Nexus was served a cup of hot coffee.
"What happened? What did they have to say"
Joseph took a sip of his coffee, then put it down. He took a quick breath and started to speak.
"They want me to help them work on a new Reploid Super Warrior System, to aid the soldiers in the war to the south"
"Why would they need you for that?"
Nexus took another quick sip of his coffee "As you may already know, our enemies have been known to use recycled weapons and
put them against us"
He paused.
"With this new and unknown energy, they plan to make a small elite unit that is basically unusable except by those that know how to
use it"
"You didn't agree, did you?"
Nexus was silent.
"Why?" She asked.
"They pulled out all the stops...Threats...Discredit.everything."
Nexus shuddered and slammed his fist on the desk, disturbing it and knocking his coffee over.
"To think that all my work is gonna be used for destruction! It sickens me!" He said angrily.
She walked over to Nexus and wrapped her arms around him "We would have been fine"
He put a hand on her arm "I can't risk it...not both of you"
He got up and cleaned the mess made by the coffee. Then they walked together the bedroom and closed the door behind.
8 1/2 months later...
Dr.Nexus was in his office, signing some forms when an military officer walked in requesting his assembly.
"Sigh, I'll be there in a minute"
The officer left and walked in his assistant.
"Dr. Nexus, there is a call on line 3 for you"
"Thank you"
She left the room as he picked up his desk phone "Hello"
A women on the other side was in tears, bawling her eyes out.
"Lianne! What happen?"
Lianne continued crying but could say anything. Then another voice appeared on the phone.
"Dr. Nexus?"
"Yes, who is this?"
The voice cleared his throat "There has been an accident..."
A chill went down Nexuse's spine "What?"
"There was a maverick attack on the west I-24 freeway. The result caused a pile-up which your wife crashed"
"Is she alright!? Is she hurt!?"
"Your wife took a major hit `to the abdomen in the crash. She's in pain. She will make it but...the baby..."
Nexus dropped the phone, completely shocked by what he just heard. He tried to regain himself and picked up the
phone.
"Which hospital?"
Nexus grabbed his coat and headed for the parking lot but was stopped by 2 guards saying his assembly was required immediately.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!"
He pushed his way through them and ran for the exit doors. Outside in the bright sunlight, he jumped into his small coup, started
the engine and began to drive away, frantically trying to rush towards the hospital.
After 30 minutes of hazardous driving, he makes it to the hospital and dashes in, searching for the information desk.
"Nexus! Lianne Nexus!"
The clerk pointed to the left hall "Room 178"
He thanks the clerk and runs down the hall, scanning the doors until he finds it. Opening the door, he finds
Lianne, the doctor and his two nurses tending to her.
"Lianne..."
Tears were still running down her face but it seemed she had calmed down. One of the nurses spotted him and tried to get him to leave.
"Please, you mustn't disturb the patient. She has gone through a horrible experience"
"She is my wife and that was my child that was lost!"
Now the doctor walks up and guides Nexus out the door, closing it behind him.
"I'm sorry for your loss there was nothing we could do"
Nexus just stood there, shaking his head as to not believe it was real...
"Can I...speak to her?"
The doctor opened the door to let him in and just when the nurse was to follow, he said "They need to be alone"
He gestured the other nurse to come with him and closed the door.
Later, Nexus returned to work, sullen knowing that he had lost his first child. There, he was grabbed by the two guards and pulled into
a large, dark room with Grafor sitting right next to a man who's face was hidden in the darkness.
"You are very late Mr. Nexus..." the man said in a cold manner.
"I apologize...I had some family issues to take care of"
"Do I look like I care? When I call you, I expect you to be there..."
Nexus gave a forced nod "What is it that you need of me?"
Grafor answered "Your work has been highly impressive, just finally applying it to our weapons. But, the Super Reploid Warrior system has hit
a bump. You knowlege is limited to this Energy and it alone. Because of this, we require you to work with 3 new scientists, each with their own
knowlege of Reploids. Including one, who found the first reploid."
This made Nexus perk up "You mean...Dr.Cain?"
"Yes, Dr. Cain does not know about our true intentions but he has agreed in order to help further improve reploids."
"So you're gonna use him?"
"Use him? That's a harsh thing to say..."
Nexus clenched his fist and continued "Who are the others?"
"Dr. Doppler and Dr. Wiel, two of our own scientist who each have their own knowlege"
"Dr. Wiel? I heard about his work....that he a vicious scientist who work is guarenteeded chaos"
Grafor laughed "He may be a crazy old quack but his knowlege is unsurpassed, even by Dr.Cain"
"So I have to work with them?"
"Only to provide them with the information on the NX-Substance"
"Fine, but only if I'm allowed full control of their development"
"Agreed" answered the man hiding in the shadows.
Nexus turned away from them and left the room.
Grafor talked first "He knows reploid programming?"
The man replied "Why yes, didn't you know? He was a student of Dr.Cain. One of the best in fact."
"Couldn't that be a problem?" Grafor asked
"Not at all...Not as long as we have him and his family on a tight leash...hehehe"
