Well… this could be going better.

Cropphopper 7 was slumped over a rock, exhausted, Ranger 301 standing over him, trying his best not to possibly lose his temper.

He’s close… considering he’s staying in his machine form… Crophopper 7 is lucky he hasn’t possibly tried to hit him with one of his blades.

“We’re not done, get back up.” Ranger 301 ordered.

Crophopper 7 looked up, eyes narrowed.

“This… is… POINTLESS.”

Riley 07’s eyes went a little wide.

Oh Users… he’s done the unthinkable.

Ranger 301 narrowed his eyes, his infamous stare kicking in.

“Not with this attitude of yours I keep seeing. Users, you give up so easily.”

Crophopper 7 growled.

“TRY TELLING ME THAT WHEN I’M NOT BORDERLINE GLITCHING AND KNOW WHAT THE HECK MY DIRECTIVE IS!”

“We’re gonna get that fixed if you haven’t forgotten, unless your memory has gone too, wouldn’t surprise me.”

Crophopper 7 stood up, drawing the sword from his baton.

“Are we really gonna do this?” Ranger 301 asked, looking at the sword. “That’s not gonna do you any good.”

Alright, that’s it!

Riley 07 rolled over to them, getting between the two.

“ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU!”


“But he-” Crophopper 7 started.

Riley 07 glared at him. “Not one word.” He turned over to Ranger 301. “And you, stop it right now with pushing him. He’s exhausted if you haven’t noticed. We’re supposed to help him, not work him to death.”

Ranger 301 held his stare with Riley 07 before it soften a little, sighing.

“Excuse my behavior… I just don’t want history repeating…”

Riley 07’s look softened a little. “It won’t… What Nero did to…” He trailed off before continuing. “It’s not going to happen to Crophopper 7.”

Crophopper 7 looked at the two. “What happened?”

Ranger 301 turned away. “It’s not important.” He shifted to his huminid form. “Let’s focus on you… Let’s try flying one last time.”

Crophopper 7 backed away a little. “Oh no, we’ve seen how I’ve been doing, Light Jets are not gonna cover it… It just isn’t the same as being a plane… It doesn’t… have the same feeling.”

“Feeling…” An idea formed in Ranger 301’s head. “That’s it.”

He took his helicopter form again, flying up.

“Follow me.” He looked to Riley 07. “Riley 07.”

“Yes?”

“Be flying near the cliffsides… don’t ask.”

Riley 07 shook his head, shifting forms. “Alright…”

He took off, letting Ranger 301 lead Crophopper 7 off.

I some how don’t like where this is going…

Ranger 301 stopped at one of the cliff sides.

“So, you said the difference is the fact the feeling is missing from when you’re a plane, correct?”

“Yeah… You know… that burst of energy you feel when you’re in flight.”

“Well, then I might have a solution.”

Ranger 301 lead him closer to the edge.

“Um… What are we doing?”

“Ever gone cliff diving?”

Crophopper 7’s eyes shrunk. “WAIT-”

WHACK!

Crophopper 7 was knocked off the edge by Ranger 301’s tail, sending him into a free fall. Ranger 301 followed after him.

“YOU’RE CRAZY!” Crophopper 7 shouted at him.

“I get that sometimes, now, stop flailing and get your Light Jet going!”

It’s either becoming a pile of crystals or flying… Yeah, doing it.

Crophopper 7 readied his baton, pulling it both ways. As the framework started to form… He started feeling an energy rush. The sound of the wind whistling in his ears, the feeling of being airborne… it was all coming back.

… I can do this…

The framework finished and he flew into the sky, laughing a little.

“YES!!!”

Ranger 301 smirked a little, watching him fly. “There we go…”

Riley 07 watched from where he was, grinning.

“Ranger 301’s method… hardest of all… but they work.”

Crophopper 7 flew around, creating some Light Ribbons, making  patterns with them.

“Oh feel that wind…”

“Better?” Ranger 301 asked as he flew up beside him.

Crophopper 7 nodded. “Much… So much better.”

Riley 07 flew up beside them. “Just takes an energy rush sometimes, different for everyone.”

“Yeah, running starts just didn’t cut it.”

“Well, we’ve found something that works, now you can fly again.”

Crophopper 7 smiled. “Music to my ears…”

“Ranger 301, this is Windlifter 33, do you copy?”

Ranger 301 turned his attention to his radio.

“I copy. What’s going on?”

“We got a situation at the Fire Wall… It’s Nero.”

Ranger 301’s eyes narrowed. “Is he breaking through?”

“No… But you better get over here quickly… He’s threatening to have a program be thrown into the flames. He demands your presence.”

“... I’m on my way.”

“End of line.”

Riley 07 looked to Ranger 301. “What’s going on?”

“Nero… Get Crophopper 7 back to the Medical Bay and keep him there.”

“Right… Be safe.”

Riley 07 lead Crophopper 7 away as Ranger 301 made his way for the Fire Wall.

What does Nero want with me?

------

Soon as they touched ground, Riley 07 was back in his huminid form, leading Crophopper 7 to the Medical Bay. As they walked… Crophopper 7 couldn’t help but be bugged by what he heard earlier.

“Hey… Riley 07?”

“Yes?”

“I know Ranger 301 said it wasn’t important… but… What happened? It seemed like you were going to mention someone but then stopped. Did Nero take someone from him.”

Riley 07 closed his eyes, sighing.

“It’s a rather sensitive subject for everyone, myself included… but it’s important.”

“Then shouldn’t I know?”

Riley 07 stopped in his tracks, looking to Crophopper 7.

“Tell me something, how many MCPs are there in the N-Gin system?”

“Three… No… Four.”

“Ah… so Brody08 made sure you still have the history of our system.”

“Well… it’s my home so I should… but my memories are on the fritz so… I’m… not sure who this 4th MCP is.”

Riley 07 gave a wave of his hand and started walking again, Crophopper 7 following after.

“Not many remember either… It’s been awhile…”

“Well… who is it?”

“He’s known as Loopin’ 302… Ranger 301’s brother program.”

Crophopper 7’s eyes went wide. “B-Brother program?!”

Riley 07 nodded. “Yes, they were developed from the same coding so Brody08 dubbed them as brothers. Together, they were both chief of the Fire Wall team.”

“Then… what happened to him…? Was he derezzed by Nero?”

“No… something much worse…”
Ranger 301 means well he just... kind of has his own way of doing things. XD Though... some how I can see Blade maybe doing this to Dusty for real if he drove him that nuts. CLIFF DIVING! Though in that case it would be near the lake I would hope.

Anyhow. So things are going down and yes... Loopin' 302 and Ranger 301 are brothers. Finally glad I can say that. Also that Loopin' was an MCP. Reason it's sensitive for not just Ranger.

And... well... we'll find out what Nero is up to soon.

I've done sky diving if that counts as anything.
