Been a while since my last upload for this. This is part of my Mega-Update I made this week, and If you have been following me and reading my other stories, you would know I made that promise.
So, without further ado…
Enjoy.
Joseph had awoken the next day, the sun shining in his face.
"Joseph, Its time to wake up."
He looked over and saw Model N looking over him.
"Yeah, yeah, I know." He said, rising out of bed.
He got himself dressed, as he walked out of his room and entered the hall.
"What do you think they got for breakfast?" Joseph asked.
"Not sure. Hopefully its healthy." Model N replied.
Joseph chuckled. "Always looking after my health, as usual." he said.
They moved on, until they went to the mess hall, in which he was welcomed with rather warm welcome.
"Yo, Joe!"
He looked over and saw Vent, Aile, Grey, and Ashe all sitting at a table of their own.
He waved back, as he went to get his own food.
Eggs, bacon, and toast. His usual breakfast.
He walked over to the group, who waved him over.
"So, how ya liking the HQ?" Vent asked.
"Not bad. Place to stay, a good job, and good people. I feel right at home already." Joe said with a mouthful.
"I'm sure Flueve is gonna want to see your Biometal." Grey said, looking into his game.
"Feel like having an appointment, Model N?"
Model N then floated above. "Well, examining is all good, but no disassembling."
Everyone laughed, as Model X and Z floated out as well.
"I've never seen one like you before. Do we know you?" Model X asked.
"Uh, not really. I don't even remember how I came to be. I found Joseph here a few days after I woke up." Model N replied.
"Well, his skills with you are not bad. He knows how to wield you well." Model Z said.
"Well, I've known him for years." Joseph said to Model Z.
Vent chuckled. "Well, that Maverick would've caused more damage than hoped for if you hadn't helped."
Joe chuckled back. "More than happy to help."
"So, whats with that weapon? It looked a lot different than Vent and I's" Aile asked.
"Well…" Joseph started, but was interupted by the intercom.
Will Joseph Nakaru please report to the Laboratory, Joseph Nakaru report to the Laboratory.
"Called it." Grey said, his mind still in the game.
Joseph finished his breakfast and stood up.
"Alright, I'll see you guys later." Joe said, waving.
"See ya!" Ashe said, waving back.
Joseph then walked out of the mess hall, with Model N floating behind him.
"Nervous?" Joseph asked.
"Well, I've never been examined before. I don't know what to expect." Model N replied.
"Don't worry, I'm sure its nothing too bad." Joseph said, as he walked on.
They eventually reached Flueve's lab, in which he welcomed him.
"Mr. Nakaru, good timing. I brought you here to examine your Biometal. We need to add it to the database." Flueve said.
"No problem." Joseph said, as Model N floated into Flueve's hand.
He put Model N on a pedestal, and did a scan on him, processing date from him.
After a few moments, Flueve took Model N, and gave it to Joseph.
"All done. It seems you have the day off, so enjoy it however you want." Flueve said, looking at his tablet.
Joseph shrugged. "Huh. Second day, and we get a day off. What do you want to do, Model N?"
"Walk in the park would be nice." Model N said.
"Area C it is. See ya Flueve." Joseph said as he walked out of the lab.
"Until next time, Mr. Nakaru." FLueve said, waving.
About two hours pass, as Joseph is walking through the busy streets of Area C.
"Parks nearby." Joseph said.
"Hopefully the birds are out." Model N replied, floating aside Joseph.
Joseph chuckled. "You like birds, don't ya?"
"I don't know why, they just seem peaceful." Model N replied.
"Well, its a nice day, so I'm sure there are birds for ya." Joseph said.
They walked on, until they eventually reached the park. They walked over to a bench, which birds were around.
Model N stared at the birds, lost in his thoughts.
Joseph looked over, and smiled.
He watched the birds as well, and looked over the scenery of the park.
The cherry blossoms, the grass, the water...Everything seemed pristine to him.
After a few moments of relaxing, Joseph heard his stomach growling.
"Huh. Guess breakfast wasn't good enough." He said, rubbing his stomach.
"Yes, I've had my fill of bird-watching." Model N said, as Joseph stood up.
They walked on towards a fast-food resturaunt, as Joseph remembered whatever Vent told him the previous day.
He remembered it in a flashback.
"Joe, I need to warn you about some people." Vent said, his hand on Joseph's shoulder.
"Yeah?" Joseph asked.
"I need to warn you about two people, because now that we found out you have a Biometal, you're going to be hunted down." Vent said.
"R-Really? Who should I look out for?" Joseph asked.
Vent prompted Joseph to follow him, as they walked out of the break-room, and into Vent's room.
Vent pulled out a tablet, and worked with it.
"These two." Vent said, showing Joseph the tablet.
He saw two figures, both clad in armor. One looked like a rendition of a Grim Reaper, complete with scythe, and a skull helmet. He had a rather menacing look on his face, as if he was staring at Joseph.
He saw the other one, who had a scepter, and a helmet shaped like a football. He could see mint-green hair underneath the helmet. She looked shy, as if she stared timidly at Joseph.
"Prometheus and Pandora." Vent said.
Joseph looked at them, and felt nervous.
"They look...menacing." Joseph said.
"They work for Model W, who nearly destroyed the world twice. They hunt down Mega-Men, gathering the Biometals for their master." Vent said.
"Huh…" Joseph said, staring at the picture.
"Be on the lookout. They will do whatever they can to destroy Guardian HQ, and they will try to take Model N from you. Permission or not." Vent warned.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye open." Joseph said.
"Prometheus and Pandora...Creepy names…" Joseph said to himself.
"Something bothering you?" Model N asked.
"What Vent said yesterday." Joseph said.
"Well, we shouldn't have any problems for now." Model N said.
Joseph sighed. "I guess. Theres the burger place." He said, pointing at the building.
They entered, and walked over to the counter.
"One cheeseburger please, extra mustard." Joseph said.
"Alright, that will be 10 E-Crystals." The cashier said.
He paid for the burger, and sat at a booth to enjoy his food.
The image of Pandora flashed in his mind.
Hunt me down, huh…
"Er, excuse me?"
He looked up, and froze at the sight.
He saw what looked exactly like Pandora from the picture, except she had no armor on. She wore a white dress with black sleeves, with blue shoulders and a gold collar. Her skirt had accents of Blue and white, with light blue stockings that went up so her skirt, as if she wore them as pants.
"Could...I sit here?" She asked.
Joseph was frozen, staring at the girl, who looked like Pandora.
"I-Is it a yes?" the girl asked, a bit pink.
Joseph shook his head to snap to reality, and slightly nodded.
"Ah, thank you!" The girl said, as she sat opposite form Joseph, with a sundae in her hand.
Joseph was both confused, and terrified.
"Joseph, thats…!" Model N said, floating out of Joseph's pocket, but Joseph shut him up.
"Oh, your name is Joseph? Its a nice name!" The girl said.
Joseph shivered and turned pink. He whispered to Model N.
"Keep it down, we're in a public area. We don't want to cause panic." He whispered.
Model N was silent, as Joseph let him go.
"Oh, is that a Biometal? I've heard a lot about those." The girl said, as she took a bite of her sundae.
Joseph was silent.
The hell are you planning? I can see right through you!
"Er...Whats your name?" Joseph asked.
The girl flinched. "Oh, my apologies. My name is Penny. Its a pleasure to meet you!" the girl named "Penny" said, smiling brightly.
Joe gulped. "N-Nice to meet you too…" he said, taking a bite of his burger.
"So, I'm guessing you're with the Guardians?" Penny asked.
"H-How did you know that!?" Joseph asked nervously.
Penny giggled. "You have your badge out."
Joseph then looked at himself. He did have his badge out.
"Well, thats embarrassing…" He said, scratching his head.
Penny giggled, as Joseph lost in his embarrassment.
A few moments pass, as the image of Pandora in Joseph's mind started to fade as he talked with Penny. He started to see her as her own person.
He shook his head.
Remember, dammit, they will try anything to get close.
"H-Hey…"
Joe snapped to reality. "Y-Yeah?" He asked.
"Could...we be friends?" Penny asked.
Joseph froze.
"Er...Well…" he stammered.
In that moment, the sound of an explosion followed by police sirens sounded off.
This made Joseph and Penny jump, as Joseph sprinted outside, with Penny surprised.
"H-Hey, wait!" Penny yelled, following after Joseph.
He ran outside, and saw a trail of smoke a few blocks down. He sprinted in the direction, with Penny folowing after.
Admist the panic and smoke, Joseph looked through and could see two figures on top of a topled car.
"Where is he…" One of the figures said.
"Did you have to go and make a scene?" the other figure said.
"How the hell else are we going to find him? He'll respond to-"
"There." the other figure pointed at Joseph.
"H-Hey, what the hell are you two…" Joseph said, and froze.
He recognized the two immediately.
A Grim Reaper.
A White Witch.
"Oh crap." Joseph said.
Promethues looked over to Joseph, and laughed.
"Found you!" He yelled, as he dashed towards Joseph, scythe in hand.
He swung at Joseph, who nimbly dodged the move, rolling out of harms way.
"Ready, Model N?" He yelled to Model N.
"As Ever."
"Good." Josep said, raising his hand forward.
"Mega-Merge!" He yelled, as he transformed into Model N.
He pulled out his weapon, and pointed it at Prometheus.
"If its a fight you want, its a fight you get!" Joseph yelled, as he swung his saber to his side.
Prometheus cackled. "Alright. I'll squish you like a bug!" He yelled, before dashing at Joseph again.
Joseph blocked his second attack, as he swung himself, in which Prometheus dodged it.
In that moment, what looked like a snowman came bouncing after Joseph, in which he blocked it, but he couldn't cut through it. He pushed it off, which bounced into a wall.
"Give us the Biometal, and we'll let your death be quick." Pandora said.
Joseph grit his teeth, as he locked blades with Prometheus.
"You're pretty good." Prometheus cackled, pushing Joseph.
"Not a bug now, eh?" Joseph said, as he pushed Prometheus back.
"J-Joseph!"
Joseph looked over, and saw Penny looking over. His mind snapped, as he was lost in his thoughts.
"W-What!?" He yelled, as he pushed Prometheus off of him.
What the hell!? Penny isn't Pandora!?
He looked back and forth, but was soon faced with a fireball flying towards him. He slashed at it, making it dissipate.
Prometheus giggled. "So, you again…" he said, looking at Penny.
Penny froze at the sight of Prometheus.
He walked closer, scythe in hand.
Joseph noticed this, and grit his teeth.
He aimed his weapon at Prometheus.
"Hey! Shes not in this!" He yelled, as energy gathered in his buster.
He then was met with another snowman from Pandora, but quickly dodged it, keeping his finger on the trigger.
After the energy gathered, he aimed it at Prometheus, who was in front of Penny, His scythe raised.
"Charge Shot!" He yelled, as he fired, hitting Prometheus from behind.
Prometheus was sent flying into a wall, going head-first.
"You...Bastard…" He said, holding his wounds.
"Prometheus." Pandora said.
Prometheus looked at Pandora. "What?"
"Leave. You're in no condition to fight. He's different than the others."
Prometheus was silent. "Fine." He said, as he transported out of the fight.
"H-Hey!" Joseph said, looking at the area Prometheus was in.
"Mega-Man." Came Pandora's voice.
Joseph turned around, having Pandora stare at him.
"Its time for you to be erased." She said, raising her scepter.
"P-Pandora!" Came Penny's voice.
Joseph looked over, and saw Penny running up to him.
"Ah. You again…" Pandora said to Penny.
"Huh!? You know Pandora!?" Joseph yelled to Penny.
"Enough of this, Pandora! People are dying because of you two!" Penny yelled.
"Silence, Sister." Pandora said, pointing her scepter at Penny.
Joseph flinched. "S-S-Sister!?"
