#come on cc give me X9 so I can know what happens to axl!!

[nih-nih]

I like to think that the reason Axl is not in Zero series is that in the past, the virus that Zero carried evolved and it even affected the new-gen reploid like Axl. And in the end, Axl lost his life to it, I'd like to think that he knew he was turning into maverick due to the virus, so he chose to end his own life so that his parents seniors would not have to do it themselves. He knew they would be sad and maybe unable to do it.

Anyhow, Zero was depressed because of it, Axl's death is the final push that made him choose to seal himself away. In Zero series, Axl is not mentioned because X does not want Zero to remember that painful memory.

So yeah... I still want Axl to get a role in Zero series dang, I love him so much ; - ;
