X's eyes narrowed slightly at the virus, but he gave a small nod. While he still felt a bit dizzy and nauseous, it seemed the worst was over. He looked up at Axl to try telling him that he would be okay, but that mask blocked him from speaking. And he wasn't stupid enough to remove it.

That tone solidified his assumption. This wasn't Zero, but something else in his friend's body. No memories popped up from him, so he probably didn't know about whoever or whatever this person was. At X's movement, he peaked up from pressing his face into the cyber elf's shoulder, showing the confusion and fear he felt at the situation with both X and the one with Zero.

"Good!" The virus chirped in a slightly forced happy tone. He pushed both X and Axl back so that they weren't as deep in the water. Even though X was doing better he'd still have to stay underwater for a little while. They'd have to slowly get back towards the surface in increments. X didn't need to get decompression sickness again.

The hell?

X was visibly confused at the tone in the virus' voice. That did NOT sound like him and sounded just plain wrong. Either way, though, X was a bit grateful that the virus was helping him.

The confusion the redhead felt grew as he blinked at 'Zero'. Okay, the personality changed again, but at least it was more friendly. He shifted his grip on X so he didn't lose his grip is the blonde pushed them again. "Papa? You're not feeling sick anymore, are you?"

The virus would've laughed at their confused expressions, but he was more focused on making sure the oxygen tank was still good. It was only half empty. By the time it got close to being empty it would probably be safe to take X out of the water. The main reason he'd spoken like an overly cheery person was to get Axl to calm down slightly. He doubted it worked too much, but it probably worked enough.

X shook his head at Axl's question. He was actually feeling a bit better, just still a little nauseous. And he was becoming lightheaded again. Was the oxygen tank running empty? If it was they were in trouble; he doubted it was okay to get out of the water yet.

Axl shifted a bit as he smiled lightly, happy X was feeling better. The tension from his fear of whoever was possessing was still there, but it was significantly less than before. He looked towards the other reploid , but didn't meet his gaze. Those eyes still made him uneasy. "How much longer should we have him down here?"

"Until he stops feeling nauseous." Virus Zero stated simply. He switched out the oxygen tanks noticing the second one was starting to get low as well. That was their last one. If X wasn't better by the time that one ran out then they would have no choice but to take him back to the beach. But he should be well enough to survive by then.

X wound up blacking out again from the stress he'd been through today. It seemed he was alright but it would be wise to take precaution before they went back to shore.

Virus Zero nodded. "Yeah." They would have to go back to the beach soon. The oxygen tank was starting to run out again. He pushed the two of them a little closer to the shore, but made sure they were still both underwater. If Axl reached up he would be able to stick his hand out of the water. Even though it didn't seem like they should just sit right below the surface, it was a precaution to make sure X didn't need to stay underwater for a longer amount of time. If there were any problems they would more than likely show up now.

X tensed up slightly and coughed. Apparently the air mask now had a small leak in it, and water was getting in. It wasn't too serious, except he'd inhaled a little water, but if left alone long enough it may pose a problem.

"The air is starting to run out anyway. Take him back onto the beach." The virus ordered while handing Axl the oxygen tank. He had to go back and get the other two. There was no sense in just leaving them stuck in the sand.

Slowly, but surely, the copy reploid picked up X and carried him out of the water. Setting the soaked cyber elf in the sand just within the tide's reach, he carefully took off the mask, supporting X from behind as he did so. "Two things. 1) That's not Zero. And 2) how are you feeling?"

The virus grabbed the two oxygen tanks from where they were buried in the sand and swam back over to the beach before getting out and walking over to the two of them.

X coughed up a little water that he'd inhaled due to the leak in the mask, then looked over at Axl and nodded, then back to the virus. "...Wh...why are you helping me...?" he asked, visibly confused. "You're...just a virus...who wants to...make me a slave..."

The virus leaned down so that he was about a foot from X's face a trademark grin on his face. "Because I can't play if you're hurt." He stated rather simply. His gaze quickly changed to Axl. The redhead wasn't hurt and didn't know who he was. That would definitely be fun.

X growled slightly but wasn't able to do much in his condition. He wanted to just go back to the base and sleep for a few days. But he was worried about Axl. He'd never seen the virus before.

The black reploid felt his core stop in fear at that gaze. Not Zero. Definitely not Zero. X called him a virus. So a virus was controlling Zero? Is that why his systems were screaming at him to run? But he couldn't leave X alone with this guy! That'd be suicide!

Virus Zero grabbed Axl's chin and smirked. "So you're Axl. Renegade turned Hunter. Last known memory before now was after finishing off the new generation reploid Lumine." He paused as his systems gave him more data. "Sealed away to prevent system corruption. You've been asleep for almost as long as I have." He commented, however he grinned when he learned of the shard. He wanted to examine it. "This shard that caused you to seal yourself away, where is it?" He asked wondering if Axl would be naive enough to actually tell him. X would probably try to stop him if he was.

Axl let out a squeak at the grip, body quaking at the touch as his defenses were shrieking at him to get out of there. The shard? Why did he want to know where it was? The redhead knew where it was since he hide it, but he wasn't going to tell him where it was.

X was feeling better, that much was obvious with his voice. Now if only his voice was that strong.

"Y-you obviously have access to Zero's m-memories." he stated, voice shaking. "If that's right, than y-you're blind. X gave Zero a complete tour of the place. If you didn't see it, tough luck b-buddy." His fight or flight instincts were cramping into his head in preparation for conflict, but he pushed them down. X was still in his grip.

The virus grimaced at the insult, but soon grinned once again. "Why thank you little prototype. I never would've thought to check his memories. I do hope they fixed that little fault when they made the real models." He stated while straightening up and letting go of Axl. He was referring to Axl inadvertently telling him where the shard was. He hadn't been aware when Zero was given a tour, but that didn't matter now. He could easily access the memory needed.

While X was grateful for the strong front Axl put up, he mentally cursed when the redhead unintentionally revealed how to get to the shard. And there wasn't really anything they could do to stop him. X was still too weak to move.

Axl's body shook at both the grin and the insult/nickname, knowing he had said a little too much. Curse his big mouth. The only up-side to this was that, even with Zero's memories, he still wouldn't find the shard easily. The redhead, despite X's warnings to leave it alone, had moved it to another location. Somewhere only he, and maybe X, could get to.

Virus Zero's eyes narrowed. Axl was a little too calm for having told him where the shard was. "Keeping a secret brat?" He spat looking down at Axl. He didn't have time for the redhead's little games. He wanted to study the shard, mostly to see if it branched off his original programming or if it was something different entirely.

Axl cringed at the accusation. Of course he was keeping a secret. Something like that shouldn't be thrown around lightly. He tried to make a retort, but it died in his throat. His fear got the best of him, despite his best efforts. A small whimper escaped as those blood red eyes bored into him, metaphorically tearing him apart from the inside out.

"Don't make me force you to tell me prototype." The virus threatened, although he wasn't completely sure if he would be able to do that or not. Either way, given enough time he could hack into the redhead's memories and find out that way. The plan he had in mind however, would take a lot less time, but would be extremely painful to Axl.

Run, just get out of there, don't let him hurt you.

These were the thoughts running through his head as Axl sat there in fear. He was having trouble breathing and his defenses were SHRIEKING at him.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore as he started to panic and his escape procedures kicked into full gear. Wrapping his arms firmly around X's waist, his stabilizer pack exploded into his large white angel wings and, with a powerful, gust-inducing beat of the new limbs, he kicked up a cloud of sand and took off over the water's surface.

Virus Zero grinned eagerly. A chase would be so much fun. He changed into the absolute armor and took off full speed after Axl. Water was getting thrown into the air by how fast he was flying after the redhead. "You can run, but you can't hide~" He called starting to gain on Axl.

'Go away, go away, go away'

He couldn't think straight. Those eyes. Those demonic blood red eyes. They were terrifying him even though he wasn't there anymore. Holding X closer to him, it never even crossed his mind that X was his very first passenger in this form. He was too busy panicking and searching for a hiding place.

The virus kept on the two of them and was starting to get even closer to them both. It would take a lot to lose him. A grin was still plastered to his face, his rather prominent fangs added to the scary factor.

Not even able to respond properly at this point, Axl's systems registered X's voice, making the connection between him and their host as something similar to master/subordinate. In his current state of mind, it wasn't far from the truth since the copy reploid would listen to anything X said.

Folding his wings and cocooning the two of them, he dove as instructed. Oddly enough, his wings became semi-transparent so they could kinda see outside.

The water gushed around X when Axl dove, engulfing them. X kept his hand over his nose and mouth so he wouldn't accidentally inhale water. He could only hope this would deter the virus if only for a few moments.

The virus stopped above the water but didn't hesitate in his next action. He rerouted energy into his hands and blasted cold air into the ocean. Small shards of ice started to creep around in the water getting closer to the two.

Temperature warnings blared at him about the rapidly approaching cold. He couldn't outrun it, but he could at least stall it.

Rerouting a quarter of his remaining energy into his wings, he increased the temperature in them, causing the water around them to ripple at the heat.

The virus snorted at Axl's attempt to keep them from being frozen. He ramped up the amount of energy redirected to the vents which caused the water to freeze more rapidly. "You can't stay underwater forever prototype. X has to breathe sometime." He partially growled though it sounded like he was right next to them, or in their heads.

'That voice. Make it stop. Make it stop!'

Axl was in a full-blown panic now. His concentration lost, the heat dispersed and the ice latched onto one of his wings. Picking up speed by turning his hover boots up to maximum output and breaking the ice, he continued further out into sea...with ice shards lodged in his right wing.

X could tell rather easily that Axl was in a panic, but there wasn't much he could do at the moment. He exhaled to get some of the pressure off his chest; air bubbles leaked out between his fingers. He'd have to resurface very soon.

The virus kept an eye on where Axl was and when the redhead started to go further out into the ocean he followed above the surface of the water. He actually darted ahead of him and blasted more cold air into the water practically creating a wall of ice.

Core thrumming and working overtime, Axl almost missed the ice wall. When he did see it, he didn't have time to stop. Instead, he just turned and let his back slam into the sheet of ice, letting out a wordless cry before heading to the surface. His back was more than likely bruised from the impact.
