"I think we need to find some sort of weakness and use it to scare them." Sabata says. He was no strategist, but some techniques similar to those of the mavericks seemed to work for him.

X found irony in what Gate had said. X didn't want to be rude, so he just let it go knowing that Gate was excited about these creatures. A different approach seemed better to him than what his friend had suggested.
"Instead of Koji and Sabata scaring them, let me try something first. Just be prepared to catch that thing if it runs away."
He walked towards the Mother Elf, inching his way closer and closer as to not possibly scare it away. Energy surged through his body as he approached the creature. The Mother Elf showed no signs of running away, but almost seemed to embrace him. What was this thing?
As X was getting closer to the Mother Elf, green elves began to fly around him. This was his chance. X reached out and grabbed one, succeeding this time. Why had he been able to capture it now and not before? Was it because of the Mother Elf? X studied the creature in his hand. It almost looked like a little animal...
"So this is a Cyber Elf..."
X returned to Gate, handing him the elf. As he did, the Cyber Elves began to move away from him, as if they were avoiding Gate. Maybe they had heard what he was saying...Either way, X didn't want to drag the Mother Elf away from here. It seemed like an entity all in itself, and X didn't want to disturb it 'in the name of science.'
"Here Gate, maybe we can just study this one for now."

"That would be good, but unfortunately, we don't posses that information, and the only way for us to gain that information is by-" Gate said, answering Sabata's questions when he saw X come back with a cyber. "X! How did you get this," Gate said as his face showed excitement as he walked closer to X. "it looks like we do have a way to gain the information we need, thank you Sabata for the hint." Gate said as he gladly took the cyber elf, but saw that the cyber elf slightly moved away from Gate. "It looks like these cyber elves act almost like humans in a way." Gate thought as he put the cyber elf closer to him. "Interesting, this cyber elf looks like an animal, unlike the Mother Elf or her babies." Gate mumbled as he came up with an idea. "Let's see what happens when this thing is exposed to my energy core." Gate mumbled as he moved the cyber elf closer to his chest, where his energy core is, feeling stronger as he drew it closer to him when all of the sudden, a white light appeared around Gate.
"What's going on!" Gate exclaimed as he screamed, he wasn't expecting this to happened. The white light then disappeared and there stood Gate, looking completely different than before. Gate's lab coat turned into a cape, Gate's shoulders, helmet, and legs became pointer, and his armor color turned yellow. "Amazing! These cyber elves have the power to change the appearance of someone and make them stronger!" Gate said with great excitement as he looked around his new body, reminding him of the days when he found Zero's DNA and created the Zero Nightmare.
"If a normal cyber elf can do this, then what would the Mother Elf and her babies do!" Gate said as he looked around and saw that the cyber elf he used was gone. "Looks like the cyber elf dies once it was used, seems reasonable, since the cyber elf is made of energy and using all of the energy would probably end their life." Gate said as his face grew a little serious, if what he said was true, then they would probably use the Mother Elf once, ruining such great power that could be used to bring peace.

Koji was quite surprised when he saw Gate's body change into its battle form; a throwback to when Gate had indeed used Zero's DNA data and enhanced his body. He also noticed, as Gate had pointed out, that the animal Cyber Elf had disappeared.
"Huh. Looks like these Cyber Elves don't take too kindly to humans. If they are made of energy, it would make sense that they would resonate when near a Reploid."

Sabata looks at his gun his eyes widen and he tosses it far away as it explodes.

X was amazed at the change in Gate. It put him on guard, bringing back memories of the last time he had seen Gate like this. He knew though that Gate had repented of his crime and would never rebel like that again. Still, it didn't help to see Sabata's gun explode. What could have caused that? It could either be a Maverick, or the Cyber Elves. X thought it was the latter, but he still kept his guard up just to be safe.
Koji did make a good point. The Cyber Elves didn't seem to friendly towards Koji and Sabata which supported X's theory about the Elves. It looked like X and Gate would have to be the ones who handled the Cyber Elves.
With Gate in his new state, X wanted him to accompany him and try to retrieve the two Baby Elves. Maybe since Gate absorbed the Cyber Elf's energy it would allow him to get close to the Elves like he did. That is, if either could retrieve the Baby Elves. There was something about them that attracted him to them,but he didn't want to take them from the Mother Elf unless there was no resistance. X looked towards Gate, ready to continue investigating. "Lets go Gate. We should try to retrieve those two smaller Elves."

Gate heard the loud explosion and quicky looked at Sabata. He was about to speak when he heard X talking to him. "Yes X, right away." Gate said as he turned toward X and jogged to catch up with X. "X are a little worried that a maverick is near, since how Sabata's gun reacted." Gate asked as he slowed down and walked a little bit slower than X.

[From Mission: Hunt down the Maverick]
Seeing as how the group seemed to be ready to try something that would require a lot of delicacy, Spartan entered the area as quietly as he could, making very little noise. He still held his saber in his hand, uncharged of course, always ready for an attack. More of the strange elves were in this area, which made the war-like Reploid think that this was their home. Furthermore, he was surprised to see Gate transformed, similar to the time when he had instigated the Nightmare incident. He hoped that wasn't the case again. He was also worried about the one comment he had overheard, the one Gate spoke about with a Maverick nearby.
"If there are any Maverick's nearby, I'll be sure to do my best to defend the group. Maverick Hunter Unit #00, Spartan, reporting for duty."

Sabata sees Spartan and blinks for a moment and thinks he's hearing and seeing things before going back to looking at the cyber elves.

Koji turned around and noticed the large Reploid coming toward him; he recognized him as the Reploid Commander X had been talking to before the mission started. For now, Koji made it seem like he was doing something important, although there had been no orders give up until this point. He was slightly relieved when Sabata's gun had short-circuited and exploded; at least the jumpy man wouldn't shoot him now.

"Good thing I have a spare." Sabata says pulling out his spare gun. It charged slower around mavericks, and didn't have a charge shot, but until the original version could be remade or fixed, he was stuck with the spare.

(OOC: Be careful about your weapons, Sabata. Any weapons you attain aside from the ones that you started out with have to be acquired by your character before you can use them. For instance, you needed to say that you picked up a spare gun before you came, or something of the sort. I'll let it slide this time and I'll fix your profile to reflect that you did have the weapon.) _____________________________________________
Zero followed after Spartan who was approaching X's group. He didn't realize they were so close to his and Spartan's location, which made everything all the more easier.
As he approached, he didn't like the scene. A comrade's gun was destroyed, X was approaching some big, glowing ball, and what seemed worse, Gate, who now appeared as he did when they last fought, was chasing after X. Not leaving anything to chance, Zero rushed towards Gate, raised his arms up under Gate's, and pinning his arms. Zero wasn't about to let another friend be injured.
"Before I let you go, you better explain whats going on."

As X was advancing towards the Mother Elf, he didn't notice Spartan slip in with his other team mates. He assumed that Gate was following him, so he didn't look back until Zero pinned Gate. Instinctively, X turned around and pointed his buster at what he believed to be a new 'threat.' To his surprise and pleasure, it was his old friend. "Zero!"
Hearing Zero's request, X quickly retorted, "Its alright. Gate isn't the enemy." He went on to explain the the situation to Zero and gave him a summary of their mission so far. It had been so long since he had last talked to him, and frankly, this was a good relief, even if it was a misunderstanding. X knew that Zero regretted what happened to Axl and there was no way that Zero was going to let that happen again.
After warm greetings, X went on to explain what he wanted to do. "Gate and I were going to retrieve the 2 Baby Elves, but since you're here, I think you should join me instead." X looked over to Gate who must of been scatterbrained from the encounter with Zero. "You can relax Gate. Zero and I will handle this now."

Zero released Gate as X explained what was going on. He was relieved to hear that the mission was going smoothly, but slightly embarrassed that he had put his comrade in an awkward position. Sighing a sigh of relief, he looked back at Koji and Sabata. Seeing humans on a mission was still new to Zero and it slightly worried him, but he knew X wouldn't recruit someone who couldn't handle a mission. Their mission had seemed simple enough so far anyway.
X informed Zero of his current plan. It seemed simple enough, and he was interested in these 'Cyber Elves' anyway. Maybe he could take one on his mission...If they had changed Gate that much, who knows how it could change him.
"Alright X. Lead the way."

X nodded his head. "Right."
He approached the Mother Elf as he had before, only with a little more confidence. The Mother Elf almost seemed to invite him to herself, as if X was her child. X couldn't explain it, but he felt one with the creature. The closer he came, the more united he felt. He stopped a few feet away from the Mother Elf and reached out his hand, almost instinctively, and touched her. As soon as he did, he could feel her reading his thoughts, merging herself with him. Understanding what he was there for, she somehow beckoned the Baby Elves to go to him and Zero. X grabbed the Baby Elf in a dazed state, but continued to leek at the Mother Elf. These creatures were so strange to him, but he already felt accustomed to their presence. He didn't want to leave.
X just stood there, looking at the Mother Elf while he held her child.
