A few hours later...
Xenon went to talk with the mean looking older woman at the front desk, leaving Vexis alone in the entrance hall. Vexis looked up at the painted ceiling that towered far above her head, wondering how exactly they were able to paint a ceiling so high up. Wait, they had hovering car-things further in the city, duh, that's how. Anyway...Some odd looking guy walked into the guild, slamming the door behind him. He appeared to be a higher-ranking hunter, the fact he was able to nearly break the front door without anyone yelling at him. Xenon came back shortly after, "Come on, Vexis! They're going to give you an entrance test real quick, test your skills." He led her back to the mean woman at the front desk. The woman eyed Vexis with her normal expression that resembled that of an attack dog from back on Earth. "So, you want to join the guardian alliance, eh, girlie?" She snapped in her sharp voice. Vexis wasn't intimidated by her, unlike most people, but that just made the lady even more harsh. "Yes." Vexis answered immediately. The woman stared her straight in the eyes now, her bottom lip tightened as she realized Vexis wasn't backing down any time soon, "Well, girlie, it won't be easy, and don't get your hopes up on succeeding! I'll send you into the training room for your first trial, NOW!" She seemed to almost scream at Vexis, then reluctantly pushed a button that opened a door in the back. Xenon practically pushed Vexis into the training room, as she stalled entering it herself.
Inside the giant training area there were a few little shelves on the side containing various weapons and whatnot, other than that, it was pretty much just an empty white room with cemented floors. She walked in a bit further waiting for something to happen, then a rather familiar person dropped into the training area from above, he turned around all dramatically. What an egotistical jerk. "You!?! Oh, NO! No, no, no, no, NO!!" Ranroh exclaimed as he was surprised to see Vexis, of all people, to be standing before him. Vexis got a look of satisfaction as she saw her opponent, "Oh THIS could not be any more perfect!" Vexis said, getting that mischievous grin on her face. Ranroh looked rather freaked out as she was getting ready for battle, but why could that possibly be? "Uhh....go ahead and pick your weapon of choice and then we can start...." He explained, now regretting that he was the one who volunteered to train the new recruits. Vexis picked up a long , curvy blade and returned to Ranroh. "Ready" She said, now really looking forward to kicking his ass. He drew out his Katana-like-sword and charged at her, she simply ducked out of the way, he hit the floor face-first. "Hah, not so fast, huh?" Vexis taunted him. He got up, brushed himself off and grabbed his sword again, "I wasn't ready, dammit!" he tried to justify. "Riiight..." Vexis teased, this time she was the one attacking. Ranroh was able to block most of her hits, but she threw him off balance soon after, and started mercilessly beating him while he was still on the ground. "GAH!Get her off me!! OW! Dammit!!" Ranroh cried out as she continued to beat him. The door slid open again, Xenon rushed in to stop her from totally killing Ranroh, "Jeez! You creamed him! Not that hes much of a challenge anyway, but good job!" He said to Vexis while pulling her away from her prey. They were now back out in the entrance hall, they returned to the front desk. "Very well, welcome to the guild..." The woman begrudgingly said, with an almost-smile on her face.

The Guardian Alliance (EDITED)
Xenon frantically looked for a way into the building, "Vexis!" He kept shouting out, until she finally jumped down next to him from the hole in the wall above. "Hiya!" Vexis said rather audibly, attempting to surprise him. Xenon jumped back as she had succeeded in spooking him, "You could have warned me first, you know, just as a suggestion!" She pushed him out of the way, "Geez...calm down, would you? Or are you always this hyper?" Vexis continued down the road as if nothing had happened. Xenon rushed up to her to keep up, "What happened in there? I heard some crashes and whatnot..." he was a bit concerned at this. Vexis looked at him intently, "..Its nothing, it was just clumsy me crashing into stuff...as usual..." she lied to make him less paranoid. Xenon, being the cautious person he was, did not believe her, but continued on to the guild, anyway. Vexis just absently followed, her mind drifted off to other things, '...I'll just...dissolve eventually?What about her...I mean...she'll dissolve eventually too...right? And why does this city feel so dead...theres no Nova here from what I can tell...thats very odd...'
"Vexis!" Xenon shouted at her, apparently he had done so many times before now, but she wasn't listening. Vexis finally floated back to reality, after hearing his obnoxious voice. "What?" She answered him with a noticeable attitude. "We're here." Xenon pointed to a tall building with golden doors. Vexis was in awe of how rich this...guild looked, she had imagined it to be a wrecked little shack with tons of criminals hanging out near it. Xenon led her to the entrance "This is the Guardian Alliance," He announced proudly, while entering. Off in the not too far distance they could hear an argument going on between a blonde haired man, (Not too much older than Xenon -about 20 was Vexis' guess.-) and an angry looking girl whom obviously did not like him (yeah right). "I told you!! I'm busy this weekend!" She yelled at him, now walking off. He stood there looking a bit miffed at the fact that he was ACTUALLY rejected for once, "Kimi! WAIT!" But she did not stop. Xenon noticed the loud argument and said "Wait here Vexis, I'll be back in a moment."
Vexis, being a creature of curiosity, stalked a little bit closer to listen in. Although, apparently Xenon had seen her, "Hey Vexis! Stop sneaking around and get your ass over here!" Vexis, reluctantly, got up from her hiding place and headed on over. "This is Ranroh, hes another member of the guild, Ranroh, Vexis, I'm trying to see if Tazuma will let her join..." Xenon introduced them. Ranroh eyed Vexis in a rather disturbing manner, "Well hey there, cutie!"
Vexis just glared back at him sourly, "I see why she turned you down..." Vexis rudely announced to him. Ranroh looked a bit surprised at her way of introducing herself, "I see this one is a bit resistant, ah well, its for the best, I mean, it would seem you've already claimed her, anyway, Xenon." Ranroh said, sighing. Vexis was thoroughly enraged now, "I'll show YOU resistant!!" She attempted to attack Ranroh, but Xenon held her back from murdering the poor schmuck. "Hey! as much as I too would like to severely hurt this idiot, it'll probably lessen your chances of being accepted into the guild." Xenon warned, now letting her go. Vexis just walked off back to the guild before her temper came back, Ranroh looked back at her. "That chick is crazy man, good luck!" He said to Xenon, then rushed off after 'Kimi' again. Xenon followed Vexis back to the building, "Don't worry, we're not all perverted." He joked while leading her to the front desk.

The Great hunt! Vexis VS. Lea?! (EDITED)
Vexis followed Xenon past many gray buildings, oil spills on the ground, and depressed looking people in the waste-filled city of Aristaisia. Vexis wondered why a city named after the planet it was on was so...unappealing. She stopped in front of a tall, crumbling building that looked like it'd been in one intense storm. She picked up a small fragment of a sign that used to stand in front of the shabby old building. "Xenon...what was this building before it was destroyed?" she asked him, while examining the entrance. "I don't know...I think it was a lab or something...but then it exploded one day for no apparent reason...everyone just assumed that it was a chemical explosion, thats why they haven't touched it since. They're afraid that there may be traces of radiation or toxic chemicals left over..." He explained, Vexis was already starting to push past the ruined electronic door to get inside. "H-Hey!!! Get out of there! You want to die?!" Xenon panicked as she left view.
The inside was all black and scorched, small pools of water and...green stuff were splattered across the floor. She went in further, pushing past another heavy metal door. It opened up into large room where the roof was missing part way. Empty broken glass pods lined the walls of this room, a strange blueish liquid glowed on the floor near a few of the pods. "Liquidized Nova energy..." Vexis identified the liquid while leaning in closer to look at it. "Very good Vexenesis! You ACTUALLY know something!" A taunting voice echoed out of nowhere. Lea suddenly appeared out of thin air, in front of Vexis. "You see, this is where I came from," She pointed to a shattered glass pod in the corner of the room. Vexis started to defensively back up towards the exit, but Lea sent a strong shock wave of energy at the door, causing it to block the exit. Vexis tried desperately to move the fallen door, but it was a useless attempt -the door was stuck for good. "Why are you doing this? If you're the same as me, then why are you trying to kill me?!" Vexis demanded. Lea stepped a little closer, as if to tease Vexis, "I'm not trying to kill you, I simply want to see how long you'll hold up, you'll eventually disintegrate into Nova particles, anyway," Lea shrugged. Vexis stood up straight now, as if to show that she wasn't intimidated, "What do you mean?" she demanded once more. Lea got an 'innocent' look on her face (or at least as innocent as she could possibly look), "Its the way they made you, some of the N-Angels last only for a few seconds before dissolving into Nova particles. While others, such as me, are so well built that we can last for more than 100 years without dissolving! But with you, I can't guarantee how long you'll last..." she got a smirk of satisfaction at Vexis' surprised expression. "So are you going to do something, or are you simply just going to sit there looking stupid as always?" Lea struck out at Vexis with a powerful surge of energy. Vexis was thrown back, and got slammed into the wall behind her.
Vexenesis charged at Lea with brute force, but she simply dodged out of the way. "Ah ah ah! You need to do MUCH better than that to strike me!" Lea taunted while continuously moving out of the way. Vexenesis leapt to the side once she started to lose her balance, but that move was a major mistake. Lea knelt down closely to the ground, and rushed towards Vexis. She skidded to a stop and kicked her leg out under Vexis', then jumped up and punched down hard once Vexis fell over. Lea certainly was quite the acrobat...but so was Vexis.
Lea's attacks sure caused a good amount of pain, but they weren't exactly fatal. Vexis got up, a bit wobbly at first. She waited and watched her opponent for a moment, trying to figure out what Lea would do next. Vexis ran forward, and immediately punched upward, she felt her fist connect with Lea's jaw, hard. Ouch, that had to hurt.
Lea stumbled backward, but couldn't escape Vexis' second attack, which was a kick straight to her nose. Vexis finally backed off a bit, unsure if her enemy would do the same or not.
A trickle of blood slid down Lea's face, probably from her -most likely- broken nose. Oops. "Heh, you caused me some pain there, but you're going to have to do far better to beat me!" Lea tried to attack once more, this time, however, Vexis was too fast for her. Vexis jumped back and concentrated on the stores of energy around them, hundreds of razor-sharp blades soon formed out of thin air and charged towards Lea. "Ahh!!" Lea tried shielding herself with her arms, they got cuts all over them, but not much damage was caused overall. Once Lea started backing off a bit, Vexis suddenly fell forward onto the ground out of exhaustion. Lea walked up to her, "Looks like shes a bit better than expected, not much better, though." she then disappeared again, this time though, she had completely left.

Later...
Vexis woke up suddenly, still caught a bit off guard by her previous encounter. "Where am I?" She wondered aloud while getting up again, "...oh yeah..." Vexis looked around, and spotted a pile a of rubel by a hole in the wall. Vexis headed over, and gradually climbed up.

(no title) (EDITED)
"Vexis...? Hellooo?"
Vexis was rudely awoken by an annoyingly familiar voice, she opened her eyes only to see Xenon staring her in the face. "WHAT!?" She exclaimed in surprise. "C'mon, I wanted to show you the guild, but you kinda walked away yesterday..." Xenon reminded her, as if the memory of Lea freaking them out yesterday wasn't memorable enough. "I don't want to see your guild...In fact, I should be leaving now." Vexis replied. "Well, where are you going to go?" Xenon asked intrusively.
"I-I don't know." She said, unsure of that herself. "Well come on, then! If you have nowhere to go, the Guardian Alliance is perfect for you!" He led her back to guild. She pulled away from him yet again, "No, I'm done with you, I'm done with your stupid town, and I'm done with this guild of yours, goodbye!" she told him off, then started on her way. This time, however, Xenon let her go. He figured if she needed help, that she would come back...
Xenon was wrong, of coarse. Vexis got herself into many fights, chases, and arguments on her way of leaving the city. She sat down at the base of a tall tree that stood at the gates of town. 'Where WILL I go...? I have no home, no family, no friends, and I'm wanted by many of those stupid scientists...I have nowhere to go...' Vexis finally stopped to think things through a bit, and concluded that there really was no place for her. Xenon saw her on his way to a hunt, the other job he had when he wasn't needed to patrol the forest. Professional Monster-Slayer. How cliché sounding. "Hey Vexis...I thought you said you were done with this 'stupid' place...?" he asked, now curious as to why she hadn't left yet. She looked up at him solemnly, "I have thought about things a bit...and you're right. I have nowhere to go, so here I am, still here in this 'stupid' place." She got up from the ground, now going back into town. "H-hey! Where you going now?" Xenon demanded while chasing after her. Vexis glanced back at him, "You won, I have nowhere, so I'm going to this guild you speak of." she had a more cheerful tone now, or at least, as cheerful as Vexis could be. The crazy, mutant, killing-machine she was created to be. "Uh....which way was it, again?" Vexis asked him, randomly pointing in various directions. Xenon grinned, he was glad to see she was interested in joining now. "Ha, this way, silly!" He yelled out to her, just as she started going the wrong way. "Oh..." Vexis looked a bit embarrassed about having to be yelled at to go the right way.
Meanwhile...
Many painful sounding yells could be heard throughout town as Lea passed by. Several moronic guys tried hitting on her, but all their attempts failed miserably, as she quite clearly caused them pain. "Idiots, when will they ever learn?" She rolled her eyes at them. Lea scanned the 'WANTED' posters on the wall to see what hunts were available for her to get, unfortunately, there were only two posters up, one for herself, and the other for Vexenesis. 'Wonder how hard it'd be to catch her...'
