Star Lovers: Black Hole Crisis
Ch.1 Impending Blackness
A young figure in a dark cloak stood in the realm of darkness her master has crafted, as she looked out at the earth through a portal as a taller figure came to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Wait in due time, child, and you shall find the one you seek. But remember, to seek out that individual, you must help me in what I wish to desire, and eliminate all of my enemies." He grinned from under his hood.
"Yes, superior…I owe my life to you for saving me…I shall do as you say." She said meekly as she twirled some of her white hair.
"Excellent. Your patience will be rewarded in time, but for now, bide your time until the moment is right." He said walking away as she stared out through the portal.
"Solo…" she thought to herself.
Six months have passed since the Crimson Order ordeal, but life has been returned to normal, as a celebration of life has passed, and preparations for a new life to enter the world are being made.
Geo Stelar had celebrated his 13th birthday, after risking his life once again to protect the earth, the last threat to come from the Crimson Order, a band of EM creatures that brought deception and betrayal in their wake. During the struggle, Sonia Strumm, Geo's girlfriend was caught in the crossfire, as the Order attempted to brainwash her into being their queen, until it backfired, awakening the pain and sorrow of her heart from losing her mother, allowing her inner darkness to take control. A true struggle of the hearts, Geo did everything in his power to awaken the real Sonia, and through their combined efforts, defeated the darkness within Sonia's heart. In their eyes, even though the planet was at risk, their love for each other was tested to new limits.
As Geo's birthday winded down, Arthur Eos, more commonly known as Ace, prepares for his first child with his lover Queentia, who were both a part of the notorious organization, Dealer, until Ace defected, and after Dealer had fallen, they reconciled their relationship.
"I hope you like it, Tia." Sonia said handing the young woman a package as she opened it, revealing a small, blue blanket.
"Thank you, Sonia. And I appreciate the gifts you all brought as well." Tia said as she turned to Luna, Zack and Bud: Geo's classmates from school, of course Bud was busy at the food table, knowing his appetite.
"Well I picked out the crib myself. We don't want the baby to have any sleepless nights." Luna said as Zack added in. "Especially if it keeps you up all night, as well."
"I think Bud's just here for the food." Ace joked, looking over to the young teen eating away at the buffet.
"Bud, honestly; how can you eat so much?" his EM partner, Taraus asked.
"Bud…" Luna growled.
"Some things never change." Geo thought as he headed outside to the balcony as he stared up into the skies as the stars shone brightly.
"Something on your mind, Son?" came a voice as Geo turned around to see his father Kelvin walk up beside him.
"More than you known." Omega-Xis said as he appeared from his VG hunter.
"It's been six months since that day, dad…I know that fight is over with…but this calm might not last long." Geo said.
"Yea. We still don't know who that guy in the black coat was." Mega added in.
"I see what you mean…everything peaceful all around you, but you know that something exists that can disrupt that peace." Kelvin said as he walked over to his son.
"But I know whatever happens, you'll find a way through it, Geo" he smiled.
"Thanks, dad." Geo replied.
"Now then, I believe there's a girl on the first floor that's waiting for you." Kelvin laughed.
"D-dad!" Geo said as he blushed a bit.
"Smooth, Kelvin, smooth." Mega thought as he chuckled.
Geo headed to the exit as he stepped outside, and turned to see a young girl around his age, her pinkish-red hair starting to grow a bit past her neck.
"Sonia, you look…beautiful." He said as he was mesmerized by her look.
"Do you mean it, or are you just saying that to make me feel happy, Geo Stelar?" she said as she walked over and kissed him gently on the lips.
"You know I do." He replied as he kissed her back.
"Ok, easy, you two; You're making me sick." Mega said.
'What's the matter, Omega-Xis? A weak stomach?" Lyra laughed as she appeared out of Sonia's hunter.
"Yeah, a weak stomach when you're around." He said, and was swiftly replied by a smack on his head.
"Care to say that again, mutt?" Lyra said.
"No. Perfectly fine here; no problems at all." Mega said, fearing retaliation from the harp-shaped FM-ian.
"Hmm…The galaxy seems…too quiet for some reason. It worries me." said a green wave being with armor and an odd crown on his head; a red cape covering his body.
"King Cepheus," said another wave being entering the room. 'We've begun the finishing touches on the radio towers from the supply we received from earth. We should be done within a day."
"Thank you for the update. Also, please inform watch to keep an extra eye on the galaxy. I feel a bit uneasy, and I can't shake this feeling.
"Consider it done, your majesty." He said as he left.
"Geo Stelar, if anything should happen, I hope to call upon you for assistance, my brother."
"The time is finally right to make our next move, my comrades. But as of now, young Stelar is still immature, I wish to test his power more…" the superior said.
"So…exactly how do we do that?" one of the others said,
"I will test him myself, along with our newest member, as for our other plan…" he said as he was cut off by another figure."
"Leave that to me." He said standing up as he removed his hood; revealing his face with a devilish grin, as well as his black hair.
"Very well…do as you wish to accomplish your mission, Void"
"Geo…this night has been perfect. This is the best thing anyone has ever done for me." Sonia said as they walked back home through the park; their arms intertwined as their hands remained clasped together.
"I just want to do everything I can to keep you in my life. You're too precious to me, if I lost you, I don't know what I would do.
"You know you don't have to worry Geo. I will always be with you. You're the one I truly love; nobody else. You mean so much to me than you know."
They stopped as they looked up into the night sky.
"It's so beautiful…isn't it?" Geo said.
"Romantic as well…" she said as she gave him a kiss, and as they parted, a strong gust of wind appeared out of nowhere and threw them back,
"Sonia, are you okay?" Geo asked helping her up.
"Yes…I'm fine."
"Just what was that?" he said, then felt an odd presence as they turned around, seeing the superior behind them.
"Geo! It's him!" Mega said as he appeared out of the VG Hunter; along with Lyra.
"It's the guy that appeared in Castle Crimson…" Geo said.
"Correct. But I feel it's time we're properly introduced, young Stelar." He said removing his hood; his long, silver hair going down his back; his white skin complemented his red eyes, staring the two down. "I am Xenex."
"Geo…" Mega said.
"On it. Transcode 003: MegaMan!" Geo said as he began to merge with Mega, as he appeared in his EM wave human form. "Sonia, get to safety…this guy is strong…" MegaMan said to her.
"Hope you don't mind. I brought one of my young pupils with me." He said as another figure appeared behind him; the coat conforming to her feminine body.
"Geo, let me help!" Sonia said as she called to her boyfriend,
"I'll be fine. Go get Ace!"
"I'm afraid that's not an option." Xenex said as he snapped his fingers; forming a dark barrier trapping them inside.
"This is merely a test of your abilities, but as I already possess the data of your girlfriend, I wouldn't mind seeing that majestic transformation of hers again. It may prove useful to me."
"You aren't laying one hand on Sonia!" MegaMan said as the SonicSword battlecard formed on his arm and tried to attack Xenex, but the coated female intercepted the attack, retaliating with blades of ice formed in her hands.
"What…is she?" MegaMan asked himself as he landed.
"Just you wait, Stelar…I'll get stronger…and stronger!" Rogue said as he slashed the Laplace blade at huge rock formations; intent on finding a way to increase his power to surpass Geo's newly acquired Star Blazer mode.
"I will make that power mine," he said as he prepared another strike as he felt a spike of dark energy in the air.
"This power…it's strong…" he said as he felt the massive energy, then felt Geo's as well.
"This looks like it'll be fun.' He said as he vanished.
"King Cepheus! The planet is in danger! A black hole as formed in the Quartz Galaxy! The planets there…they were completely eradicated!" one of the messenger said to Cepheus. "We've determined the hole is moving towards both Planet FM and New AM!"
"It's as I've feared…that feeling that's been plaguing me was right. We are all in danger…" he said to himself as he raised his head. "Prepare to evacuate both planets! We shall go to our brother, the planet Earth, and seek out our comrade!"
"Yes, your majesty!" the messenger said as he hurried away.
"Geo…I pray that you are the solution to this crisis…" Cepheus said.
"You are pitiful!" the coated female said as she kept deflecting MegaMan's attacks with her frozen blades.
"Grr…" MegaMan said as he felt to his knee.
"Guitar Strings!" called Harp Note as she fired her attack at the girl as she dodged it. "Leave my Geo alone!" She said as she stood in front of him to protect him.
"Sonia…"
As the girl prepared to attack, a red beam tore an opening in the barrier as Rogue landed inside just as the hole closed up.
"Now…things are interesting…" Xenex said as Rogue formed the Laplace blade in his hand.
"I don't know who you two are, but MegaMan is mine to finish off, no one else's" he said as he looked the two down.
"As I promised, he is all yours, my dear." Xenex said as he back up and she moved up closer.
"I've waited for this…for a long, long time…Solo…"
"I don't even know you. You're delirious." Rogue said.
"I'll teach you!" she said as ice in the shape of a diamond formed in front of her, and smashed it to pieces with her fist as the shards honed in on Rogue; damaging his visor and cutting his wave suit up.
"Ahh…What the hell…" he said as he tried to calm the pain down.
"Diamond Dust!" she said as she clapped her hands as a cold wind with icicles circled Rogue; dealing even more damaged to him.
"Rogue!" MegaMan called out to him.
"I'll make you hurt…I'll make you pay!" she said as she kicked Rogue while he was down; causing his waveform to cancel.
"What the…hell…just…who and what are you?" Solo said as he struggled to get up.
"You are so dense…need a reminder!?" she said opening the front of her coat; revealing a black tank top as she pulled the side of her top down a bit, and sitting at the top of her right breast was the Mark of Mu.
"No…it…can't be…" he said as a shock look formed on his face.
"Finally sink in yet?" she said removing her hood to reveal her long, white hair and her yellow eyes as she stared Solo down.
"Se…Seira…"
"Come, my icy one, we still have much to do. I promise you will exact your revenge soon enough." Xenex said as he opened a dark portal.
Seira move her hand and held Solo's chin. "I'm not done with you…not by a long shot." She said pushing him back to the ground as she followed Xenex back to the Dark Realm.
The energy field faded as Geo and Sonia canceled their wave change and ran over to Solo.
"Solo, just who was that?" Geo said trying to help him up.
"None of your damn business!" He said pushing him aside as he limped away.
"She tried to kill me, and almost killed you. As far as I'm concerned it is my business." Geo said as Solo looked up the starry night sky.
He paused for a minute, and then spoke. "That girl…is Seira, a Murian like me…she's…my wife…" he said as a line of blood trickled down his head.
Mega: Solo; married? What's up with that?
Sonia: We still don't know everything about Solo…but to think of this…
Geo: we can worry about that later…I have a feeling Xenex is connected with what Cepheus told us. We can't wait time dawdling. We have to do something.

Ok, I'm guessing you all really weren't expecting that, were you? Well like I said, things will be heating up as this story sets up everything for Star Lovers 4, so I figured why not go ahead and throw it a plot twist like this?
