Episode 14: Memories of the Past, Rage of the Zerker
Geo and Sonia sighed as they sat on the bench at the train station. "Why are we doing this again?" they both thought, remembering the reason why they were even here.
Earlier, Ami had suggested that they scope out one of the schools that they wanted to go to. Geo and Sonia didn't see the reason why they should be doing this, since they weren't planning on staying here for school, as they planned to enroll in a school back on their home world. However, they decided to humor her, so here they were.
They weren't going to be alone though, as Ace and Tia had said they would come along with them. Also, Luna, Bud, and Zack were going to be there as well, as Zack had wanted to see just how good the top schools here were.
"So remind me again, which school was that Ami girl saying they would go to?" Omega-Xis asked, as he materialized next to them.
"Not too sure, since we kinda forgot the name," Sonia said, slightly embarrassed.
"Well, considering it was Ami who picked the school, it's safe to say that it will have a history of academic excellence," Lyra commented, as she materialized as well.
"Yup, that's Ami alright," Geo nodded, as the four of them shared a small laugh.
The two of them waited for a little bit longer, before they noticed some familiar faces. "Hey, everyone! Over here!" Sonia called out, catching their attention.
"Geo! Sonia! Glad you could make it," Ami said with a smile, as she turned to the other Star Force members who had come along. "I'm glad all of you could make it."
"Well, you did invite us, so it would have been rude for us to decline," Geo said.
"Besides, it's good to see someone with their priorities straight," Tia nodded.
"Well, let's hurry, I'd like to see the school as well," Zack said, as they boarded the train.
Inside the train, it wasn't that crowded since not many people were there. The commuters were already at work and all the students were having a day off. Because of the lack of people, the group of friends had a car to themselves.
Geo and Sonia took a seat next to each other, while Ace and Tia sat across from them. Ami, Usagi, Makoto, Rei, and Minako sat down a seat down from Geo and Sonia, while Luna, Bud, Jack and Zack were sitting across from the Senshi. There was a lot of open spaces, which was good since the subway cars could get notoriously crowded during the rush hours.
As they were riding the car, Rei was sending curious glances at the Star Force members. Ever since she found out about their identities as Star Force members, she had a question that she wanted answered. Up till now, she never really got a chance to ask the question, so she decided to go for it.
"Um…Ace?" she asked. The elder Star Force's attention was instantly turned to her. She steeled herself for any reaction and finally asked her question. "I was just curious, but what exactly did the Star Force fight before they came to Juuban? To be as strong as you guys are you had to be fighting something bad."
"I've been wondering about that too," Usagi nodded.
"Hmm," Ace nodded. "I can tell you, but I believe Geo would be the best to tell you, since he was the one who fought against the main three enemies. In fact, you could say that the Star Force team was started because of Geo," Ace said.
The Senshi all turned their heads curiously towards Geo when they heard that.
Geo sighed when he felt the attention. "Alright, you could say that my story started… 7 years ago," Geo started. "Back then, our worlds were celebrating the 50 years of peace between Planet AM and Planet FM."
"Planet AM and FM?" the Senshi asked curiously.
"Planet FM is the home world of the FM-ians like Lyra, Ophiuca, and Taurus, while Planet AM is the home world of the AM-ians like Omega-Xis," Sonia explained.
"Right. Anyway, the two worlds had been at war, until the current king of FM, king Cepheus, gained the throne. After he gained the throne, he managed to stop the war, and began an era of peace. That was before the alliance of the four worlds. Anyway, for the celebration, they were planning on exhibiting their greatest weapon, Andromeda, one last time, before they would have it self-destruct to show that peace was the way," Geo continued, before his face became saddened. "What nobody expected, was that during the time of its existence, Andromeda had gained a sort of sentience, and it did not like the idea of it being destroyed. In retaliation, Andromeda went berserk and attacked Planet AM. King Cepheus and the three AM sages tried to stop Andromeda, but they weren't strong enough by themselves. It was only when my father, Kelvin Stellar, joined them were they able to defeat Andromeda."
"Wow, your father was a hero? How did he beat Andromeda?" Usagi asked, now very interested in what she was hearing.
"Well, my dad had a rare wave frequency that allowed him to be compatible with multiple EM-Beings, provided they had the same goal and will as he did. This allowed him to do a Denpa Henkan with Cepheus, while being boosted by the Star Force from the three sages: Pegasus Magic, Leo Kingdom, and Dragon Sky," Geo explained. "With that power, they were able to defeat Andromeda, but not before Andromeda tried one last trick, which would have obliterated everything." It was at this point that Geo's voice started to crack. "But my dad managed to stop it. Channeling the power of all three Star Force at once, he was able to block Andromeda's final attack, and seemingly destroyed Andromeda, but not before the attack managed to destroy Planet AM," Geo continued, as the Senshi could clearly see the tears starting to well up in his eyes. "After that, nobody knows what happened to him, but all that Cepheus managed to find was my dad's visualizers," Geo continued, though he was having a hard time continuing.
The Senshi gasped, before suddenly feeling very sorry about bringing it up. They had known that Geo's father was missing, but for Geo to recall the incident when his father disappeared, they could see was bringing up some very painful memories for him.
"Geo, that's enough. I'll explain it to them from here," Sonia said, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"No. It's okay Sonia. I can continue. Besides, I know that he's alive. I saw him inside Meteor G, remember?" Geo said a small smile on his face. "3 years passed after that incident. Everything was pretty much peaceful, but it turns out that Andromeda had survived. Back then, I was really withdrawn, since I was still depressed about my dad's disappearance."
"Withdrawn? Aside from me and your mom, you'd barely talk to anyone else. Those were the most boring years of my life. Day in day out, you did nothing but look up at vista point and do some studying at home," Omega-Xis snorted slightly.
"I'll agree to that. We had to practically threaten him to go to school. In fact, we couldn't stand each other back then," Luna added, while Zack and Bud nodded in agreement.
"Ironically, you three trying to force me to go to school was one of the reasons for my first fight as Mega Man," Geo commented, actually laughing slightly.
"Really? What happened?" Ami asked, now very curious.
"Well, Omega-Xis was annoyed at their constant nagging, and when Bud tried to force me to go, well… Omega-Xis took control of my arm and knocked him out…" Geo said slightly embarrassed.
"Well, I didn't help either. I shouldn't have threatened to cut our Brother Band over something as trivial as that," Luna said, looking rather apologetically at Bud.
"Anyway, you know how EM-Beings and their partners are connected, right?" Geo said, earning nods from the Senshi. "Well, emotions have a strong effect on the bond. At the time, Bud's negative emotions affected both him and Taurus, and caused Taurus Fire to go berserk. Because of that, I had to fight and stop him," Geo explained.
"The ironic thing, is that Mega Man's first enemies were his own friends. Even me," Sonia said.
"Huh? You used to be enemies?" Rei asked in disbelief.
"Well, we weren't exactly enemies, but when we were being influenced by our negative emotions, we were out of control," Luna said, shivering slightly at the memory of nearly constricting her parents to death.
"While the battles themselves weren't really a problem, they had an unexpected side effect. During the fights, the negative energy was being absorbed by Andromeda," Geo continued.
"But you said your father defeated Andromeda," Minako pointed out.
"No, I said he seemingly beat Andromeda. In reality, it was badly damaged, but not destroyed. Anyway, with the negative energy, Andromeda managed to revive and tried to destroy Earth. When that happened, Andromeda tried to convert the entire Earth into EM-Waves so that it could easily destroy Earth. Luckily, King Cepheus sensed Andromeda, and managed to slow it down, while giving a warning to Earth. He managed to drive it to Planet FM, and with the help of the AM sages, we managed to destroy Andromeda once and for all," Geo stated.
"Wow, so that's what you did before you came to Juuban?" Usagi asked.
"No, there's more. A few months after we beat Andromeda, we had to deal with a scientist named Vega, who was trying to tap into the powers of Planet Mu, using the power of the Ooparts.
"Ooparts? As in 'Out Of Place Artifacts?" Ami asked curiously.
"Yeah, while we simply called them Ooparts, they were in fact sacred relics that contained all the ancient powers of the remaining tribes of Planet Mu. They were also the keys to unlocking the seal of the most powerful EM-Being of Mu," Geo explained.
"Wow, how powerful were those Ooparts?" Rei asked.
"You've already had a taste of one of them. The Zerker Sword I used against Kaolinite was one of the Ooparts," Geo explained, causing the Senshi to blink in surprise, as they remembered the sword that had used.
"It was one crazy adventure that took us all the way around Planet Mu, but we managed to get all the Ooparts… Only for Vega to steal them from us when we were weakened," Geo grimaced, as he continued telling the story.
"Weakened?" Makoto asked, wondering what had happened to them.
"We had to fight against Rogue. He's a guy from Mu, who could use Denpa Henkan by himself, and hated the bonds between us with a passion. In fact, he still does. The crazy thing is that officially, he's also part of our team," Sonia said, unconsciously rubbing her side, where Rogue had tried to run her through during the fight.
"What?" the Senshi practically screamed, at hearing that they were on the same team as one of their enemies.
"We were still few in numbers back then, and we didn't really have many options," Ace explained.
"Anyway, with the Ooparts in her hands, Vega managed to awaken the ancient 'god' of Mu: Le Mu. It was easily one of the hardest fights we ever had, but eventually we managed to get back the Ooparts, pulling the plug on Le Mu's power, and saving the world again," Sonia said.
"And then you came here?" Usagi asked.
"No, we still had one more big adventure," Geo said, his voice now seeming happier than before. "It happened about a few months after our battle with Le Mu. During that time, our scientists discovered a meteor, which they dubbed Meteor G, was headed towards Earth."
"What? A meteor was headed to your planet?" Usagi nearly screamed when she heard that.
"Yeah, during that time, we had to deal with a criminal organization known as Dealers," Geo nodded, as he rubbed his ears.
"Dealers was a syndicate whose goal was to conquer the world through use of crystalized Noise known as Crimson," Ace explained, like he had first time experience with them, not just as their opponent.
"Hmm? You sure seem to know a lot about them," Minako commented.
"Well, it certainly helps that the three of us are former members of Dealers," Tia said, gesturing to herself, as well as Ace and Jack.
"What?" The Senshi screamed again at the bombshell Tia had just dropped.
"You see, the three of us are orphans, since our parents were killed in a war," Jack explained. "The three of us were taken in by the King Foundation, which was owned by Mr. King, who was also the leader of Dealers. That's how we were inducted into Dealers in the first place."
"At first Mr. King was sort of like a father to us, but eventually, he showed his true colors, and that we were really nothing more than pawns to him," Ace explained, whilst clenching his fists at the memory.
The Senshi gave them sympathetic looks when they heard that, since none of them could imagine how it must have felt.
"After we learned about Mr. King's true intentions, we defected to the Satella Police, with Ace officially joining them, while we remained in Dealers to act as 'Double Agents'," Jack added.
"It was pretty intense, since Dealers had us in a tight position. If we didn't stop the Wizards that they had infected with Noise Cards, they would cause some serious damage. However, when we did defeat the Noise Wizards, the Crimson that was produced was immediately collected by Dealers," Geo said.
"Eventually, Dealers managed to collect enough Crimson to control Meteor G. That was when Mr. King got drunk with power, and threatened to smash the meteor into Earth if we didn't follow his orders," he continued. "Not letting that happen, we devised a plan to access Meteor G, and shut it down. However, there was a twist in the plan."
"What was it?" Makoto asked.
"Inside Meteor G, trying to prevent Mr. King from gaining control… Was my dad," Geo answered. "Unfortunately, with all the Crimson that had been collected, Mr. King managed to gain control by the time I managed to get to the core of Meteor G, before Mr. King fused himself, and my dad with the core of Meteor G to create an entity called the Crimson Dragon."
"But you beat it right?" Usagi asked.
"Yeah I did," Geo nodded. "But in doing so, I managed to destroy Meteor G, leaving me stranded in the middle of space."
"Wait! If you were stranded in space, how did you come back?" Ami asked.
"Heh, you can thank Brother Bands for that. In that moment, all three planets banned together in a massive Brother Band to bring us back. When all of those people banned together, a miracle was created, allowing me and Geo to come back to Earth," Omega-Xis said, much to the Senshis' surprise. While they were no strangers to miracles, they were certainly touched by the fact that the miracle that had saved Geo and Omega-Xis was born from the wish of their entire worlds.
"Yeah, we managed to get back, but my dad didn't," Geo sighed. "The last thing I heard from him, was a message that he was alive."
"What happened after that?" Rei asked.
"4 years passed after that incident. One day, while the scientists at WAZA were experimenting on a new piece of technology called the 'Warp Gate', they picked up on my dad's wave signal," Geo said.
"And that's what lead all of you here?" Usagi guessed, earning a nod from Geo.
"That's right. The real reason why the Star Force are in Juuban to begin with, was to find my father," Geo stated.
The rest of the ride was very quiet after Geo had finished his explanation. The Senshi were too distracted by trying to digest what they heard, having learned both the Star Forces' origins, as well as seeing just how similar the Star Force were to themselves, considering the fact that the Star Force were really just people that had gotten pulled into a situation bigger than themselves, yet accepted the call to save the world.
-Sailor Moon SF-
Deep in the confines of his laboratory, Professor Tomoe was not working away at another Daimon for a change. Instead, he was dressed in jogging shorts and a sleeveless shirt and running on top of a treadmill. His breath was labored as he continued to run and sweat with exertion.
"Exercise in moderation is good stimulus for the brain," he reminded himself as he continued to run.
He continued to run and exert himself on the treadmill. After a few moments, his usual creepy grin appeared on his face.
"Oh! I feel an idea coming!" he reached to the control panel of the treadmill and hit thee highest speed for it. He began to run faster so he could keep up with the track he was on. He was laughing in anticipation as he continued to run. "Here it comes! My newest idea! I finally have it!"
Without even bothering to stop his treadmill, he reached over to his phone. He gripped the receiver and pressed the speed dial. After a few rings, the familiar voice of Eudial could be heard on the other end.
"Eudial here," her soft feminine voice answered.
"It's me," the Professor huffed as he continued to run. "I had an idea. Why don't we try a track-and-field runner? Do we have that?"
Inside her own lab, Eudial's eyes narrowed before she turned to her computer and began typing at the keys. After a few moments, the image of a tanned young woman with red hair appeared on the computer screen.
"Yes we do have one on file," Eudial answered.
"Good," the Professor grinned back in his lab. "I will get a Daimon ready for you. It will be perfect for your needs."
"Thank you, Professor," Eudial answered. The smile could be heard in her voice.
"That aside," the Professor continued. "How is that other project coming along? Any ideas on how to overcome our remaining hurdles?"
"We have a few ideas," Eudial answered. Some grumblings could be heard in the background from her associates. Apparently they were not happy with the subject of their project. "We've tried to recreate the effect, but we just can't seem to replicate it. Our only option is to get a sample from one of the Star Force."
"Good," the Professor nodded. "We're close to a breakthrough! I can feel it in my bones!"
The Professor then hung up the phone and fiddled with some switches within his reach. As he touched them, a familiar machine began coming to life.
The large case which was the centre of the contraption held a simple track hurdle. The case slammed shut and locked tightly. A vial was inserted from above, containing a Daimon seed and the red fluid they were kept in. The seed was quickly inserted into the case. Smoke instantly began spewing from the seams before the sounds of something thrashing around inside could be heard.
"HURDLER!" was the sounds heard from within.
As the process was complete, a white case with a black star was pushed along a conveyor belt that quickly deposited the case into Eudial's waiting car. The redhead in question got in her preferred mode of transportation before the movable platform began hoisting her to one of the many exits Deathbuster HQ had.
This particular entrance had Euidial driving straight out of an elephant pen in the local zoo. The large mammals gave of trumpets of surprise, but Eudial's driving got her away from them soon enough. She quickly raced through the main entrance of the zoo before heading down the streets in search of her prey, while breaking a few hundred trafic rules along the way.
-Sailor Moon SF-
"So, what is this school called?" Ace asked, as the group walked closer to the school that the resident genius had picked out.
"Oh, it's Shirikaba High School," Ami replied. "It's quite a well-respected school. They have top rank facilities and a very large campus."
"I sure hope the boys are cute, though," Minako smiled. Ami sighed. Rei rolled her eyes. The others just sweat dropped at Minako's usual antics.
"Are boys always on your mind?" Rei asked, annoyed.
"Come on you two, let's not start with this again," Luna sighed, as she was not in the mood to hear the argument when it broke out.
"By the way, why didn't Mamoru, Chibiusa, or Ryuusei come with us?" Geo idly asked, noticing that the three of them weren't present.
"Mamoru has classes today," Usagi sighed sadly. "And both Chibiusa and Ryuusei didn't want to come. Good riddance to her anyway."
No one answered to Usagi's rant since they all knew how she and the girl from the future would fight.
"She does realize that she's referring to her future daughter, right?" The Star Force members idly wondered, as they just let Usagi fume as they entered the campus and began looking at their surroundings.
"Wow," Minako smiled. Her eyes had been drawn towards the large gymnasium which was standing proudly on the campus. "Look at that gym. If I get in here then I might be able to get into volleyball again."
"I'm sure you can get in," Rei encouraged. "You've been working pretty hard lately."
"That's right!" Usagi nodded.
"I said she was working very hard," Rei commented with a snicker. Usagi's face instantly turned to a growl as she turned to face her sometimes nemesis.
"Rei," she growled. "You know, its comments like that, that make me hurt. Sometimes I wonder if our friendship is really on the rocks."
"Oh really?" asked Rei with mock confusion. "I wonder why."
Usagi stiffened with how calmly Rei had been talking to her. Her stunned state continued as the rest of her friends continued to walk deeper onto the campus.
"Don't worry, Usagi," Ami tried to comfort her friend. "You can get into any school. So long as you pass the entrance exam."
"Real encouraging Ami," Sonia thought with a sweat drop, as Usagi's hope of cheering up was suddenly crushed as Ami spoke. Said girl resisted the urge to facefault, but failed as she crashed into the dirt.
"I don't think that was helping, Ami," Rei commented to her friend. Everyone had sweatdropped from the bluenette's comment.
"I was just telling the truth," Ami blinked.
"Sometimes, Ami, the truth hurts," Usagi moaned, "Really, really, hurts."
While the Senshi were busy dealing with each other, the Star Force were busy checking out the area, with Zack easily being the most enthusiastic about the trip.
"So how do you all like it?" Tia asked.
"It's okay, but I think it would be better if we went to a school back home," Geo said, earning a nod from all of them.
"As much as I like how the school here looks, I'd have to agree with Geo. We wouldn't be able to go far back home if we were to study here," Zack said, voicing the groups' thoughts, since it was the truth.
"That's true. You certainly won't get the necessary education from going to school here," Ace nodded.
The group conversed for a while, before rejoining the Senshi, who were actually still in the same spot they had been.
Rei and Usagi were deep in one of their arguments again as the Star Force rejoined the group. They were bickering about Usagi's study habits and how Rei's school let them advance to their high school counterpart easily.
As they were arguing, Minako had noticed that someone was running around the circular track which the school had. One by one, everyone noticed the person who was running over hurdles and around the track.
"Eh?" Usagi blinked. "Who's that?"
The person in question was a girl. She had tanned skin and red hair which reached to her ears. Her figure was obviously that of an athlete if what she was doing was any indication. She was practically a gust of wind as she went around the track.
"Wow." Minako blinked. "She's Elsa Gray. She's an incredible track and hurdle runner. She's even competes at the national championship level. She's a celebrity here."
"Understandable. Based on my calculations, her speed, agility, and overall stamina are at least 20% higher than an average human's," Pedia said, as he materialized next to Zack.
"Seems about accurate from what I'm seeing," Zack agreed with his Wizard.
The girls watched in awe as Elsa went around the track at incredible speeds. At the same time, the boys were also impressed by the girl's abilities on the track. While the EM-Beings were watching her with varying degrees of interest, though most of them (Omega-Xis, Taurus, Corvus, and Virgo) seemed to be indifferent, while a few of them (Lyra, and Acid) showed some interest, with the rest (Pedia, and Ophiuca) being rather neutral in their opinion.
During the time, a thought crossed the minds of the two eldest Star Force. "She shows a great amount of dedication," Ace said to Tia, who nodded in agreement.
"Yes, enough that she might just be a potential target for the Death Busters. We'd better be on guard," Tia answered.
Elsa continued to do her run. Eventually, she finished and walked over to the fountain to get a drink. As she was wiping the sweat off her brow, she noticed the small audience that she had collected.
"Hi there," she smiled.
The collected group bowed in the customary greeting. Elsa walked over to the group with her towel over her shoulders.
"I didn't quite know I had an audience," she smiled. "I hope I was impressive in some way."
"Oh yes!" Ami nodded quickly. "You were quite impressive."
"Why, thank you," Elsa smiled brightly. "Can I ask what you are here for? I don't think most of you are part of this school."
"Well, we are actually were considering coming here," Rei replied. "We were just checking out the campus to see what it's like."
"I see," Elsa nodded. She heaved a sigh to help catch her breath. "Would you mind if we take a seat somewhere?"
"Sure!" Minako nodded.
The group relocated to some benches underneath some trees. The shade felt nice after running in the sun so Elsa was happy to sit down with them all.
"So you all plan on coming here next year?" she asked curiously.
"Well, we aren't sure yet," Makoto answered.
"I don't think we will be coming any time soon," Luna muttered, though Elsa didn't hear her.
Elsa nodded as she accepted the answer with a blank look on her face. Her arms then reached behind the two sitting beside her on either side (which were Minako and Makoto) before actually squeezing their behinds firmly.
"Ahh!" both girls cried as they leaped to their feat. The remaining girls recoiled away from Elsa, while the boys were in stunned silence at the sudden act.
"Heh, looks like we have another of those girls with weird taste," Omega-Xis commented with an amused laugh, though only the Star Force members heard him.
"W-what was that for?" Makoto asked nervously. Had Elsa just made a move on her and Minako? She sure hoped not.
"Hmm," Elsa seemed to ponder as she flexed her fingers. She then started to smile. "Your thighs are rather nice and firm. Definitely good for track runners. If you did decide to come here, I think you'd do well on the track team."
The girls all broke into relieved laughter, while the boys just sweat dropped. As awkward as the situation was, it was still funny now that they thought about it.
-Sailor Moon SF-
Meanwhile, Eudial was leaning against her car outside of the school gates, looking over the file again for information on their current target. "Hm, not bad, not bad at all," she smiled. "If this girl does have what we want then it'll be worth it and if she doesn't then maybe I get a chance to record some more data on the Star Force. Maybe even get a sample. Either way I get something out of it." She reentered her vehicle. "Watch out, here comes Eudial!" She laughed insanely.
Sailor Moon SF-
Back at the benches, the group was still conversing while Ace and Tia seemed to be on the lookout for something.
"Even with the rest of the team having a day off, you're still here practicing," Minako smiled. "Then again, I shouldn't really be surprised."
Elsa's smile seemed to dim at those words. Her eyes also adopted a faraway look, like she was remembering something, "Well, I used to be pretty confident in my running."
"What happened?" asked Rei curiously.
"Well, there was someone I just couldn't beat," Elsa replied with a sigh. "When I competed against her, she went past me like the wind."
"Wow," Makoto blinked. "Someone who's even faster than you?"
"Well, she's since quit track, but I still find that I'm in her shadow," Elsa sighed. She then started to smile. "Besides, there are plenty of people who are faster than both me and her."
"No way!" Minako gasped in shock. "How many people are faster than you?"
"You should know," Elsa smiled. A strange sparkle was beginning to come into her eyes. "You see them all the time. The Star Force."
Geo and his friends blinked at Elsa's answer. Technically, she was right. When they accessed the wave world, the Star Force were capable of moving so fast, that they could circle the world in moments, which was something way beyond the abilities of any human. Not just Elsa.
"Well, that's true," Ami nodded. "Lots of people say that they can move so fast that they become like shooting stars."
"I know it's true," Elsa nodded. "I've seen them go that fast."
"Really?" asked Bud. He figured since Elsa seemed to be a fan of them, they might as well hear her. "When did you see them?"
"It was a couple of weeks back," Elsa replied. "It was during that competition that was being held in Lover's Park. You know, the one where the statue turned into a monster."
"I remember that!" Usagi smiled. "We were there too!"
"Wow, small world, huh," Elsa smiled. "Anyway, do you know who's my favorite Star Force?"
"Who?" Minako asked, interested.
"The one people have called the blue bomber," Elsa confessed. "Mega Man."
Both Geo and Sonia were surprised by the confession before exchanging surprised looks. It was true that the Star Force had fans but Elsa's confession seemed more like she was confessing about a crush than a hero she admired.
Usagi was the one who spoke out about Elsa's admission first, "Ooooh! It sounds like you have a crush on him."
It was after the words left her mouth that Usagi realized that what she was teasing Elsa about. The track runner blushed slightly from the insinuation and looked at her feet. Geo turned slightly red and scratched the back of his neck. While he was flattered, the fact remained that he was already taken. It didn't help he could hear Omega-Xis laughing his non-existent guts out.
"Uh…well," Usagi gulped, trying to lighten the mood. Rei's death glares at her little outburst were not helping. "I mean…who isn't a fan of the Star Force on some level?"
"Well," Elsa blushed. "I…I would be lying if I said that I wouldn't like to meet Mega Man. I mean, I saw him, Acid Ace, Queen Virgo, Harp Note, and Jack Corvus save the Sailor Senshi and defeat the monsters there. If I had the chance, I would love to meet him," she said before her mood turned slightly somber, "I did notice how close he seemed to be with Harp Note. I wonder if he's already taken."
It was at this point that all of the EM-Beings were rolling in the air with laughter at how awkward the situation had become.
Geo and Sonia, on the other hand, were feeling slightly uncomfortable. The fact remained that the two of them were already with each other, and they were perfectly happy with that. Sure it sounded a little bit selfish, especially for Sonia's part, but the two of them already loved each other, and everything seemed to point out that they had a future together (they were feeling another headache coming as their thoughts wandered to their future son: Ryuusei).
The discomfort didn't last long, as Elsa had to get back to her training. The group said their goodbyes before they began walking towards the exit again. They had probably seen enough.
"Not a bad place," Jack shrugged.
"Yeah," Usagi nodded. "Elsa was really nice too. If I want to come here then I'll have to work hard!"
"That's right, Usagi," Ami nodded with a smile.
"Yeah. I mean, you aren't stupid," Rei shrugged. "It just takes a little concentration. That's all."
"Yeah!" Usagi nodded happily. "I can do it!"
In the midst of the perk-up speech, there were the sounds of an engine roaring in the distance. Normally it wouldn't mean anything, but given their experience with out of place engine sounds, they all had a good idea who it was. "Oh come on! Here too?" Rei groused, as they all had a very good idea what the sound was.
The track was still in plain sight and they were looking at an unwelcome familiar sight.
"Here we go again," Geo sighed, as the Star Force members got ready.
"Star Force!" they called out, triggering their Hunter-VGs to appear.
"You girls find a private place to transform," Ace spoke. "We'll deal with Eudial."
"OK!" Usagi said. "We'll be there before you know it!"
Eudial had come crashing through one of the fences that surrounded the school. She had spied her target and decided to go for it. She had already brought out her weapon out with her aim to pull out her target's heart crystal.
"Now hold still," Eudial smiled. "FIRE!"
Her gun fired off a blast of dark energy which was ripping through the air. Elsa was quick to react and she dashed to the side. The energy passed by her and crashed into a tree. Eudial frowned
"Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised," she frowned. She was then begun to take aim again. "People like you can sure run away quick."
"Hold it right there!"
Both Elsa and Eudial turned in the direction of the voice. Their eyes landed on a tree which had several young women in it. Their outfits were familiar, belonging to the magic guardians which saved the people so many times. The Sailor Senshi!
"I won't allow villains to harass innocent students!" Sailor Moon called out.
All five of the Senshi took a leap and landed on the ground between Elsa and Eudial. All five of them looked ready for a fight. Their postures were tensed and ready for action.
"The chosen warriors of Love and Justice! The Sailor Senshi!" all five of them called out. "And in the name of the moon, we will punish you!"
Eudial frowned at the appearance of the Sailor Senshi. As annoying as they were, she really didn't want to deal with them. At least with the Star Force she would be able to get some more data. As it was, it looked like she would have to just go for the heart crystal.
"You again," she sighed.
"Us again!" came a voice, before several lights landed on the ground, revealing Mega Man, Harp Note, Acid Ace, Queen Virgo, Jack Corvus, Zack Pedia, Ophiuca Queen, and Taurus Fire.
"Now we're getting somewhere," Eudial smiled when she saw them. Despite her slight happiness at seeing the Star Force, she still knew that her mission was going to be that much harder now.
Over with Elsa, she thought that her heart had stopped. Her eyes were glued on the blue image of the Star Force which she had her eye on. He was exactly as she remembered when she saw him at the competition in Lover's Park.
"Heh," Eudial smiled. "Now that everyone's here, I guess I can show you all my surprise! Appear, Hurdler!"
Eudial raised her arm into the air, showing that she was holding a gun in her hand. It was the kind that those in track-and-field used. The sounds of her car door opening caught everyone's attention. The following exploding sound was expected. As the pink smoke began to rise from her car, Eudial let her handgun fire.
"HURDLER!" the new Daimon cried before she leaped from the trunk of Eudial's car and landed on the track, running on the spot.
Her skin was pink and had long purple hair tied in a ponytail. She was in a pair of black and white striped shorts and sneakers styled after sneakers. She had a chalk layer on her back and a large sneaker for a top.
"Hurdler," Eudial spoke up. "Deal with these pests."
"Yes, ma'am!" Hurdler cried before she began dashing towards the Senshi and Star Force.
While the Daimon's speed was definitely impressive, the Star Force were used to dealing with faster opponents, while the Senshi had already gone through enough speed training with the Star Force to deal with the Daimon.
Not wanting to waste time, Zack Pedia, Ophiuca Queen, and Taurus Fire all quickly raised their hands. "Battle Card! Vulcan!" They called out, before opening fire on the Daimon.
"HURDLER!" the Daimon cried as she leaped up, actually managing to avoid the barrage of bullets, though only by a hair.
"Let's go!" Acid Ace said, taking command.
"Roger!" the Star Force and the Senshi nodded, before the Star Force charged at the Daimon, while the Senshi charged up their attacks.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!"
"Battle Card! Drill!"
Mercury immediately sent forth her attack, just as Harp Note jumped in front of the attack, using the momentum to charge forward with her drill ready. Hurdler didn't get a chance to react, as Harp Note rammed into her with the drill.
"WAAARGH!" Hurdler yelled as she was sent flying back.
"Love Me Chain!" Venus called out, using her chain to snare the Daimon and pull it towards her.
"Water Dragon!" Queen Virgo called out, taking control of the water from Mercury's attack, and directing it towards the Daimon for her attack.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Jupiter called out, as she launched her attack towards the Water Dragon.
"Stealth Laser!" Acid Ace added, firing off his attack to the Water Dragon. Both electric attacks combined with the Water Dragon, causing it to surge with amplified electricity, which smashed into the Daimon who was still caught in Venus' chain.
"GYAAAAAH!" Hurdler screamed as she was electrocuted, but was promptly shut up when Mega Man quickly flew up and started bouncing her around with rapid attacks whilst moving at bluring speeds.
Elsa was transfixed on Mega Man, as well as his speed. His movements were so fast, she could barely keep up with them. He was absolutely marvelous!
Eudial grimaced at how the heroes were toying around with the Daimon. There just had to be a way to tip the balance into the Death Busters favor. She hadn't even been able to grab her camera to record the battle. However, as she eyed what was happening, she saw that her target was distracted along with the Sailor Senshi. With a smirk on her face, she raised her weapon a second time.
"Fire!" she cried out as she pulled the trigger.
The orb of dark energy cut through the air and soared past the Sailor Senshi. Elsa was caught off guard as the blast collided with her chest. She unleashed a scream of pain before the crimson heart crystal appeared in front of her chest before she collapsed.
"Bull's eye," Eudial smirked as she leaped into the air. She sailed over the Senshi before landing next to Elsa and grabbing the heart crystal. "Mine now."
"You wish," another voice spoke.
Two blurs leaped from the trees before the landed on either side of the Deathbuster. They were both tensed and ready to fight. As Eudial looked at them, she saw the forms of Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune staring her down.
"We're only going to give you one chance," Neptune frowned. "Hand over the crystal or face the consequences."
"By all means choose the consequences," Uranus snickered.
"Humph!" Eudial snorted. "Not likely. This is mine now and no one is going to take this from me!"
As she was declaring her defiance, Acid Ace began to react. He was waiting for this to happen. Eudial was due to make her move since she appeared. Uranus and Neptune were also due to appear. He wanted all forces in attendance before he got the heart crystal away from them. Eudial and her organization were an obvious threat, but Uranus and Neptune were a threat to the crystals on their own. He quickly dashed forward, whilst converting into EM-Waves, effectively turning invisible.
Eudial barely managed to blink before she was suddenly shoved a short distance away by an invisible force. The heart crystal hovered in the air for a moment and sparkled before beginning to fall.
Acid Ace appeared and caught the heart crystal in his hand, before he decided to try one of the latest gadgets that WAZA had provided for the Star Force. Activating his Hunter-VG, he scanned the heart crystal to see if anything was different about this one. Uranus tensed as she let her gaze harden on the white Star Force. Neptune wanted to move forward, but she knew how powerful Acid Ace was. It was best to see what he was going to do. He did have Elsa's heart in the palm of his hand.
After a moment of scanning, Acid Ace looked up to the two Outer Senshi, "This is not the heart you are looking for."
Uranus frowned. Now she knew that she was wasting her time. While she didn't trust the Star Force as far as she could throw them, she had little reason to distrust Acid Ace. He obviously had no interest in the talismans. All he seemed to care about was the people who were victimized by the Deathbusters.
Quickly moving over to Elsa's body, Acid Ace placed the heart crystal back. Her breathing also returned to normal as her heart was properly restored.
Acid Ace nodded to himself before be turned his attention back to his fellow Star Force and the other Sailor Senshi.
The battle was easily in their favor, as Mars and Jack Corvus were raining down on the Daimon with a combination of Wicked Flame, and Burning Mandala, while the others were stopping the Daimon's movement with their attacks, giving the Daimon no room to dodge.
Just as it seemed that the Daimon was finished, a familiar card shot down and attached itself to the Daimon.
"Hroardler!" Hurdler roared as she was turned into a noise Daimon, with her body distorting, and her face becoming feral and animalistic and noise seeped out of her.
"Uh-oh, another Noise Daimon," Harp Note said, just as they noticed a shadow appearing and growing larger, meaning that something was coming down. Looking up, they were just in time, as whatever was casting the shadow crashed into the ground.
Once the dust cleared, the group was wide-eyed at what they were seeing. The thing was big, with purple hair, and a white and grey body, which resembled a gorilla of some-kind.
"No way! Yeti Blizzard?" Mega Man said in disbelief, recognizing one of his old enemies.
"Hah, that's right punk! I'm back and now you're gonna pay for ruining me!" Yeti Blizzard said.
"You know this guy?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Yeah, this guy's a crime lord from back home. He was trying to gain control of a popular resort by taking over a weather machine. We managed to stop him and got him arrested," Zack Pedia explained quickly.
Before anyone could say anything else, Hurdler decided to act. "Ha!" Hurdler laughed as she grabbed the chalk layer off her back. "LINE BLAST!"
She swung the wheeled device and a blast of chalk shot out, which branched off into a number of tendrils, which attacked the Star Force and Senshi, forcing them to dodge.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Yeti Blizzard laughed, before he stomped on the ground. "Avalanche!" he roared, as a layer of snow rushed at the heroes, much like an avalanche.
The two attacks continued, which effectively put the heroes on the defensive. Seeing that they were backed into a corner, Mega Man decided it was time to call out the big guns, and lifted his arm to the sky, calling out to the Zerker Sword once more.
The sky rippled, as the treasure of the Zerker Tribe flew down, encased in its bright yellow energy, headed for its chosen warrior.
As Uranus saw the Zerker Sword flying towards Mega Man, she made her move. She dashed forwards and grabbed the sword before it could reach Mega Man. Smiling triumphantly, she then started to take the sword with her to Neptune, shouting, "I got it! I got it!" it was either her happiness from gaining one of the 'talismans' or that she had stolen the sword from Mega Man. Whatever the case, the sword would not be going anywhere without her.
The moment they saw what had happened, the Star Force all paled. A little known fact about the Ooparts, was that they could only be wielded by someone that the Oopart itself chose. If the Oopart were to be held by someone unworthy, well… things could get messy. Very messy.
Right on cue, as Uranus was about to make a break for it when she felt her hands start jerking as the sword struggled in her grip. "What the!" she shouted as the sword continued to struggle and energy started to spark from the sword. Neptune grew alarmed.
"Uranus, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Help me with this thing!" Uranus yelled. "It's like it has a mind of its own!"
Neptune was perplexed. They were never told that a talisman could resist. Regardless, she grabbed onto the sword and helped Uranus keep hold of it. Unfortunately, this just made the Zerker Sword struggle harder before it suddenly stopped.
The Star Force all audibly gulped when they saw that, as they knew what had happened. The Zerker Sword considered two Outer Senshi 'unworthy', and since they had tried to forcefully take it… simply put, it was pissed.
Just as the two Outer Senshi thought they had gotten the sword, it suddenly started radiating massive amounts of energy, which flared up angrily.
"UNHAND ME, YOU UNWORTHY TRASH!" a voice bellowed, knocking the two Outers away, and blowing everyone back, as the sword was engulfed in energy. When the energy subsided, everyone could clearly see something that resembled the armor of a knight, holding the true form of the Zerker Sword, and covered in the same yellow energy as the Zerker Sword.
"Incredible, that sword's power… It must be a talisman!" Eudial thought, but frowned when she remembered that her Daimon had been hijacked by the Yeti-like creature.
Luckily for her, despite Hurdler being controlled by Yeti Blizzard, Hurdler's primary directive, which was securing of a talisman (or in this case, potential talisman), were still in effect.
"Hroardler!" she roared, charging at the Zerker Sword.
"Oi! What are you doing?" Yeti Blizzard demanded. He already had firsthand experience with the powers of the Zerker Sword before, and he did not want to go through a repeat of its power.
The Zerker Sword's Avatar (A/N: which I will simply be calling Thunder Zerker) didn't say a word. Instead, it simply swung the sword, unleashing a torrent of power at the Daimon. Hurdler was engulfed by the attack, and was immediately destroyed down to the seed, leaving nothing left. The attack continued on, and slammed into Yeti Blizzard, who had been standing behind the Daimon.
"Gwaaargh! Stupid Daimon!" Yeti Blizzard roared in pain, before he was forced to make his escape.
Everyone watching paled at the sight of Thunder Zerker's power. In fact, during the attack, Eudial had already ran for it, as she did not want to be next on Thunder Zerker's potential hit list. Uranus and Neptune were gapping at the sight, unsure what to do, until Uranus decided on an action. An action she would soon regret.
"I don't know who or what you are, but that sword is coming with us! World Shaking!" she said, launching her attack. The attack raced towards Thunder Zerker, only to be easily cleaved in half by the Zerker Sword.
Thunder Zerker suddenly turned towards the two Outers, before the feeling of something akin to a glare seemed to focus on the two Outers. "INSOLENT TRASH, HOW DARE YOU LAY YOUR FILTHY HANDS ON OUR SACRED TREASURE!" a voice that sounded like many voices meshed into one bellowed from Thunder Zerker, which pointed the sword at the two Outers, before an oppressive feeling of rage suddenly filled the air, all of which was pointed at the two Outers. Thunder Zerker then lifted the sword, before dashing towards the two Outers.
Despite the pressure around them, the two Outers managed to jump away in time to avoid being cleaved in half, but Thunder Zerker was relentless, as it continued to attack, while the two Outers could only dodge, as their attacks were pretty much useless against Thunder Zerker.
Despite not being the target of the rage, the Inner Senshi were nearly brought to their knees. "W-what is this pressure?" Mars asked in fear.
"I-it feels like the anger coming from hundreds of people," Jupiter managed to choke out.
"H-how can this much anger be coming from t-that thing?" Sailor Moon asked, her whole body trembling.
"The Ooparts house more than just the power of Mu. They house the collective spirits of the original tribes of Mu. The Zerker Tribe were known for their ferocity in battle, their hot-blooded reputation, but above all, their sense of honor and their pride as honorable warriors," Mega Man explained. "Normally, if a person is just unworthy, then the Sword won't do anything, but if the sword deems whoever is holding it unworthy AND dishonorable based on the Zerker Tribe's standards, the sword will reject them like it did earlier."
"But why did it turn into that thing? And why is it so angry?" Mercury asked.
"Because Uranus and Neptune tried to forcefully take the sword. That act angered the spirits of the Zerker Tribe," Harp Note explained.
The Senshis' eyes widened, especially Mars' eyes, as being a miko, she knew that it was never a good idea to anger spirits.
"Oh crap! Even if those two were asking for it, I've gotta calm down the Zerkers before those two get killed!" Mega Man said, before running towards the battle.
"Wait, Mega Man!" Sailor Moon cried, but was stopped by Acid Ace before she could run to her friend's aid. "W-why? Geo can't fight that thing by himself."
"He has to," Harp Note said with a pained look in her eyes, as she watched her boyfriend equip a Break Saber as he rushed to intervene. "He is the one chosen by the three Forces of our world. He is the Chosen Hero."
"Chosen Hero? What is she talking about?" The Senshi wondered, as they watched the battle.
(Insert Special Theme: "Kizuna Wave" OST Ryuusei No Rockman Tribe)
"Zerker Tribe! Stop!" Mega Man shouted, as he blocked one of the strikes from Thunder Zerker. He only barely managed to resist being blown off his feet by the attack.
"CHOSEN ONE, WHY DO YOU STOP US? CLEARLY THE REMOVAL OF THIS DISHONORABLE TRASH WILL BE FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOU AND YOUR ALLIES," The Zerker Spirits said, having seen Mega Man's recent memories from when he had used their powers during the final battle with Kaolinite.
"I know what those two have done, but this isn't the way!" Mega Man defiantly said.
"CHOSEN ONE, YOU OF ALL PEOPLE MUST KNOW THAT ONLY THROUGH BATTLE WILL OUR ANGER DISPERSE," the Zerker Spirits stated.
"I know that. If I have to fight you to stop you, then so be it!" Mega Man said, before he charged at Thunder Zerker with his break saber.
"VERY WELL THEN. HAVE AT THEE!" Thunder Zerker said, as it swung its sword to counter Mega Man's sword. The two swords met, but Mega Man's sword almost instantly broke the moment it came in contact with the Zerker Sword, forcing Mega Man to jump back before he was cut in half.
Acting quickly, Mega Man raised his right arm again. If he was going to have any chance of winning this fight, he knew he would have go all out. Knowing that, he started calling out to another Oopart.
-Sailor Moon SF-
Planet Mu, Temple of Ninja…
Within the hidden temple that housed the treasure of the Ninja Tribe, the Ninja Star started to glow. The glow slowly intensified, before the Ninja Star shot out of the temple, headed straight for Mega Man.
-Sailor Moon SF-
Back to the fight…
Everyone's attention was drawn to the green light that was now flying to the battle field. As the light got closer, everyone could feel the energy from it, which was similar to the Zerker Sword.
"What-?" Uranus and Neptune gasped, before Uranus scowled. "Do the Star Force have all three Talismans or something?" she growled, as Mega Man caught the source of the light.
The light faded, revealing what was the source of the light.
"A shuriken?" was the general question from any Senshi watching.
"Impossible! None of the Talismans are supposed to take on that form!" Neptune yelled in disbelief, causing the Star Force to sweat drop.
"That's because we don't have any Talismans. Heck, the Tribe Force doesn't even come from this planet!" The Star Force members (minus Acid Ace and Queen Virgo) shouted in annoyance that the two Outers had pulled them into their ridiculous talisman hunt.
"Either way, Tribe On!" Mega Man called out, as he placed the Ninja Star on his right shoulder, causing him to be enveloped in the energy of the Oopart. When the light subsided, Mega Man was now donned in green armor that resembled that of a Ninja. He was now Mega Man: Wood Ninja!
"THE POWER OF THE TRIBE OF SHADOWS WON'T BE ENOUGH TO STOP US!" Thunder Zerker roared, as it charged at Mega Man, and swung the sword. Mega Man was seemingly cut in half, only for the two halves to turn into a block of wood, followed by several shurikens striking Thunder Zerker, damaging him significantly.
"Kawarimi!" Mega Man announced, as he reappeared behind Thunder Zerker. "Battle Card! Wood Edge!" he added, before striking Thunder Zerker with the sword, its power doubling thanks to Wood Ninja's effect.
Thunder Zerker retaliated with a flurry of fast strikes, but Mega Man: Wood Ninja was faster, allowing him to easily dodge all the attacks. This only proved to anger Thunder Zerker further. "HAVE AT THEE! THUNDERBOLT BLADE!" Thunder Zerker roared, unleashing its Tribe's ultimate attack at a range that the attack couldn't be avoided.
"Battle Card! Aura!" Mega Man quickly called out, activating the defensive battle chip. Despite being the strongest defensive battle chip, Aura proved to be no match against the Zerker Sword, but at the very least, it managed to lessen the damage received.
"Guhh! Now! Wood Edge!" Mega Man called out, striking at Thunder Zerker again with the Wood Element sword, badly damaging Thunder Zerker, while at the same time stunning it due to it being hit while its defenses were down. Mega Man quickly jumped back, before he decided to end the battle.
"Tribe Force Big Bang! Demon Flurry!" he called out, before he suddenly split into three separate Shadow Clones. The three Mega Men jumped up, before raining down on Thunder Zerker with a flurry of shurikens, causing immense damage.
"GWAAAARGHHH!" Thunder Zerker roared in pain, before slumping forward, supported by its sword. "WELL DONE CHOSEN ONE. YOU HAVE DEFEATED US," it chuckled.
(theme end)
"I know and I understand why you were angry at Uranus and Neptune, but that still doesn't mean you should kill them," Mega Man said, as he walked towards Thunder Zerker. He had nothing to fear, as he knew that he had already won.
"PERHAPS," Thunder Zerker conceded. "HOWEVER, SHOULD THEY ATTEMPT TO STEAL OUR TREASURE AGAIN, WE WILL NOT SHOW MERCY, EVEN IF IT IS YOU WHO STANDS IN OUR WAY," Thunder Zerker warned, before reverting into the Zerker Sword, which flew into Mega Man's open hand, before it and the Ninja Star both vanished, returning to their individual shrines.
With the battle over, everyone sighed in relief, glad that it was over. Mega Man just sighed, before he glanced to look at the two Outer Senshi. He noticed that Neptune looked rather disappointed, but Uranus actually looked pretty close to livid.
"You better say goodbye to that sword, Mega Man," she frowned. "We are going to take it."
At this point Mega Man resisted the urge to shoot her with his buster, both out of annoyance and disgust. He had just saved their lives from their own mistake, and this was how they repaid him? Threatening to take away something that had just tried to kill them. "Are you dense, or are you just plain insane?" He said in an exasperated tone. "The Zerker Tribe will NEVER acknowledge either of you as being worthy of their power. Didn't you hear their warning? The next time you try pulling this stunt again, they WILL end you, and honestly, I don't think I'll even TRY to stop them," Mega Man stated in an uncharacteristically cold tone as he started walking away, but not before he put in one more statement. "I always thought that everyone was worth saving no matter what their mistakes in the past, but now…now I'm starting to wonder if I was wrong."
At that, Neptune seemed to look hurt, while Uranus just scowled, as both of them jumped away.
With that done, his allies all approached him. "You okay, Geo?" Harp Note asked in concern.
"He'll be fine, but personally I think we should have just left those two to the Zerkers," Omega-Xis commented in annoyance. While he did find Geo's heroic streak to be annoying at times, he definitely found the Outer Senshis' lack of gratitude to be even more infuriating, since by all means, they ought to have left them to their fate.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," Mega Man smiled weakly, before he adjusted his frequency and shot up to the wave road.
"Ah! Geo!" Sailor Moon cried in surprise and concern for her Brother, but he was already gone.
"He just needs some time alone," Acid Ace said, having a pretty good idea as to how Geo was feeling.
"Alone or not, he needs someone to be with him!" Harp Note said, before she quickly followed her boyfriend.
"Yeah! We shouldn't just let him go!" Queen Ophiuca agreed, as she, Taurus Fire, and Zack Pedia all quickly followed.
"Man, I wish we could follow them," Sailor Moon sighed, before she frowned. "Ooooh! I can't believe those two! Geo saved them, and the least they could do was say 'thank you' or something!" she growled.
"Yeah, their attitudes really need a readjustment," Mars said, as the other Senshi nodded in agreement.
"What comes around goes around," Queen Virgo suddenly said.
"Huh?"
"What sis means, is that eventually those two will get what's coming to them. Even if they say their saving the world, their doing it all wrong," Jack Corvus said.
"In a sense, they are the same as we were at one time. Hopefully they realize their mistake before it's too late," Queen Virgo said.
-Sailor Moon SF-
Mega Man sighed as he sat on the Wave Road, looking up at the starry sky.
"You okay Geo?" came Harp Note's voice, as she stepped on the Wave Road.
"Yeah, I'm alright…" Mega Man said.
"Well, if you're alright, then cheer up," Taurus Fire said, as he, Queen Ophiuca, and Zack Pedia walked up to the two of them.
"Yeah! So what if those two were ungrateful, you did the right thing," Queen Ophiuca said with a smile.
"That's right! Just because they were that way, doesn't mean they weren't worth saving," Zack Pedia added.
"That's right, Geo. That's why you should cheer up. Besides, we're all here for you," Harp Note smiled warmly.
"Everyone… Thanks," Mega Man smiled.
"Hey, what are Brothers for?" Taurus Fire laughed, as for a moment, the Brother Bands that connected them were visible. A testimony of their unbreakable bond as Brothers.
Author's Note:
Finally finished. I'm starting to run out of materials to write this fic, so I might start to have a hard time with this, but don't worry, I'll update whenever I can.
