Mega Man Seiya Chapter 2: Seiya vs The Chill
Ciela had come home a little bit after Wav, who couldn't stop talking about the whole Supermarket incident. "So after Seiya pointed out that there was a Navi causing the doors to lock, I jacked him in and he was all like "Wham!" "Kapow!" "Boosh!" taking out the Mettools. And then we saw the Navi behind it all and it was a hard fight, but we won." Inside his PET, Seiya muttered to himself "He meant to say "I won, but I gave him all the weapons." And rolled his eyes at his handler's conversation with his parents.
"Sounds like you had fun today. But I think it's high time we celebrated your birthday." Prof. Light said before they brought out the cake for Wav. As they were celebrating, Seiya couldn't help but wonder why is it that he got any sort of credit when all he did was get him in and provide weapons.
Though, after cake, they all decided to sit down and watch a movie together. Which was a movie about Wav's favorite hero Seiya. Though, afterward, Wav had decided to head upstairs, hoping to talk to Seiya about all of this.
"You kept on making noise, so what's up?" Wav asked his Navi, who responded "Wav, tell me something? What exactly were you celebrating?" Wav then answered "It's my birthday. I'm turning 12 this year."
Seiya was somewhat puzzled by this response. "Is it REALLY what caused your parents to do whatever you wanted?" Wav shrugged his shoulders and said "Well, mom always said that a birthday is a special day. And I'd do the same for Ciela, Mom, and Dad on their birthdays."
Seiya looked up at Wav and then said "You humans are strange. You celebrate days that you're born as though it were a milestone, you watch that dumb cartoon as though it were a serious event that you were bearing witness to, and all the while you seem to get more spoiled by the minute."
Wav took offense to the last two. "Take that back." Seiya shook his head and responded "No. I won't take back my opinion. You haven't proven anything to me. Humans aren't strong like that so-called Seiya guy. And if they were, I bet they'd be more capable of handling themselves."
Wav sneered at Seiya "You know, people aren't all strong like you. But where is this even coming from? Is it just because nobody could get out of the store?" Seiya answered "No. It's because what we saw there was a situation you could've easily avoided. Yet, why did you even jump into the fray? You could've waited for your precious Zero to do something about it."
Wav was very confused as to why his Navi had to be so critical about Wav's actions. "Listen, kid, how about you don't try to ignore survival instincts and wait for the so-called good guy to show up. Cause unless that's Sigma down there, forget it."
"Seiya…" Wav muttered before placing his PET near the computer and jacking him into the PC. "Where are you going now?" Seiya asked before Wav answered "I'm getting ready for bed. It was a long day, and I'd like some sleep." Seiya was further confused by Wav's anger.
"He'll be fine. Besides, it's not like I caused him any sort of harm. He did need to be scolded though. I don't understand. Why is it that most humans are understandable, yet he's the bold one willing to take any sort of chance. And at the same time, it's like he doesn't need to do much anyway."
Meanwhile in an isolated server…
This server appeared to serve the purpose of holding meetings between Navis. There appeared to be eight seats, but only seven Navis. One appeared to be a short, fat penguin. Another looked like a thin, robotic anthropomorphic beetle with large pincers protruding from his head.
Then there was a large Mammoth Navi that had a linked trunk and was bipedal. There was also what appeared to be a bipedal Octopus with three tentacles on each side. An Eagle Navi with purple armor and sizeable wings. A large, brown Mandrill with a wide-eyed stare. And then there was a Chameleon, who seemed to be very amused at this prospect.
"That's odd." The penguin said in confusion. "Usually, Armored Armadillo is always here whenever we gather, so where could he be?" The eagle and the beetle shrugged their shoulders as if they didn't have a clue.
"It's not symmetrical without Armored Armadillo, so now everything is out of order." The Octopus said as he was analyzing the current setup. "Well, whatever happened to him, we need the info now! So, Kuwanger… You got any for us?"
Kuwanger had then replied, "Yes, but I had no time to review such footage since the drone I sent almost died." Everyone sans the eagle crowded Kuwanger, who then typed in a code to play the footage he had acquired.
Everyone had seen that a single Navi appeared to be responsible for taking out Armored Armadillo. To which, the Chameleon started laughing. "What's so funny, Sting Chameleon?" The eagle asked. And Sting Chameleon answered "Because… He was beaten by this shrimp!" He then continued to laugh at the scenario
As Sting Chameleon was laughing, the others heard footsteps that eventually revealed their leader. A large, muscular Navi who appeared to have a human-like head. However, he lacked any sort of pupils that the others had in his eyes. He wore green armor, and what appeared to be black spandex and brown boots.
He also sported purple scars on his eyes, indicating that a battle had permanently damaged him. This was Sigma. "Tell me, Chameleon… What's so funny about a NetNavi eliminating one of your own?" Sigma asked, to which Chameleon responded: "Everybody's all worried about this, and you know that I like being the contrarian."
Sigma had shrugged at his subordinate's antics and came to the conclusion that it was simply in his nature to contradict. "Forgive me, Master… But who exactly is this Navi?" Kuwanger asked Sigma, who examined the Navi closely and smirked.
"Indeed I do know of him. Though this form is one I'm not familiar with, this Navi is known to the council as "Weapon X". The latest attempt at trying to destroy me. He's also the one who gave me these.." He said, gesturing his scars. Suddenly, all of the other Navis were intrigued.
However, it seems that Chill Penguin wasn't impressed "Eh, it's like any of us couldn't have done that to you anyway. I mean think about it. Kuwanger could've cut your eyes out, and I don't think anyone would've cared. So how come this nobody gets any sort of recognition?"
Sigma looked at his subordinate and asked: "Are you perhaps volunteering to go after Weapon X, next?" Chill Penguin had all eyes on him, as it seemed he put himself on the spot. "Nah, I wouldn't recommend it. After all, you couldn't reach my trunk, so why should you go and fight this guy?"
Penguin looked at the Mammoth and answered "You know what?! I'll go! I'll take out this Weapon X and before you know it… You'll be praising me! Wah ha ha ha ha!" He then exited the private server to head to another location. Everybody didn't really seem to mind his lack of presence.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have suggested that he tries," Sigma says, assuming the worst. "Kuwanger, I want you to monitor them!" Kuwanger salutes Sigma and heads out. "I don't get it. Why is Kuwanger your stealth operative, and not me?" Chameleon asks. "Because you talk too much." The Eagle retorts.
The Next Day…
Wav seemed to be lost in his own thoughts about Seiya. Though, currently, none of that compares to his current boredom. Waiting for his mom and Ciela to finish shopping at the Mall. "Wish that something interesting would happen today." Wav said to himself as he looked around at the surrounding areas.
He also took notice of a musician who seemed to be gathering a crowd of people just by playing guitar. "That looks interesting…" Wav thought to himself while walking towards the said musician. What shocked him was the fact that he only looked a few years older than Wav. He also noticed that people were giving the kid money just for the music.
"I suppose I should do the same…" Wav thought before pulling out a couple of quarters and placing them into his guitar case. He walked away before things could get more awkward for him, but Seiya then asked: "Any particular reason you just gave away your spare change?" Wav answered, "It's because that's what people do when they want more music."
It confused Seiya, to which Wav continued. "Artists work hard for their craft, and if they want to keep going, they need money. So, they entertain people however they can." Seiya sighed, annoyed with Wav's constant chattering. Wav looked at Seiya before saying "I don't know why you asked since you don't like it when I talk."
Seiya seemed to be increasingly annoyed at Wav's words, but before he could say anything further… Wav felt a sudden chill in the air. "That's weird, I don't remember it being this cold." Wav said before looking around and noticing several patrons starting to feel the same chill. "Guessing it's not my imagination. Must be a Navi attack!" Wav declared.
He then started running towards a nearby bookstore, which happened to have a spare computer active. "Looks like a perfect place to jack you in!" Wav said, but before he could do so… Seiya interrupted. "Hold on! How do you even know that a Navi's causing this? For all we know, something could be wrong with the mall's temperature setting."
Wav pondered that theory, but then asked "Well, what do you think might be wrong with it? Navis are taking constant maintenance on the temperature settings, and if something went wrong, don't you think a virus or a powerful Navi could be behind it?" Seiya tried to find a counter-argument but failed. "Just jack me in already."
He then jacked Seiya into the PC, and Seiya had seen the damage done to the Mall server. "Why does that kid have to have a point?" Seiya asked himself before proceeding into the server and being confronted with ice-themed viruses. "I don't suppose you'll just let me through, right?" Seiya asked rhetorically, to which the viruses sneered at him.
While Seiya was dealing with the viruses on the inside, the Navi responsible was a bit mesmerized by the hook inside the room. Suddenly, the door burst open and in came Seiya. "Well, well… So you're Weapon X, eh?" The Navi asked, to which Seiya looked around in confusion for the Navi.
"Hey! Are you listening to me?!" Seiya looked down and saw the Navi. "Sorry about that, I just thought you were some kind of small virus," Seiya said to the Navi. "I'll have you know, that I'm one of Sigma's most powerful commanders. Also known as… Chill Penguin!" The Penguin said to Seiya, who was also preoccupied with the hook.
"Why is there a hook in the middle of this room?" Seiya asked before Chill Penguin got angry and charged at him. Seiya tried dodging but started slipping on the ice in the room. "Wah ha ha ha! You fool! You're not properly acclimated to this room! So unless you have some sort of Ice Skates or something, you're finished! Shotgun Ice!"
Chill Penguin launched a series of projectiles from his mouth which missed Seiya, but small residue shots bounced off from the walls and hit Seiya in the back. Wav was panicking over the whole thing and was looking through his list of chips that he had on him. "None of these'll give him the advantage... " Wav then found one chip he didn't recognize.
"Hm? Is this…" Wav was going to say something but then noticed Seiya getting beaten up by Chill Penguin. "Beowulf! Battle chip, activate!" Wav said inserting the chip. Before Chill Penguin could hit Seiya again with a sliding head butt, he was suddenly stopped by Seiya… Who now sported a pair of gauntlets and pauldrons, with clawed tips in the hands and feet.
"Now, what was that about acclimation?" Seiya asked Chill Penguin before he was kicked in the air by Seiya's enhanced boot. Now the Penguin found himself flying all over the room, like a pinball after being hit by a bumper. Seiya then aimed his next punch in the center and punched Chill Penguin so hard, that there was a hole where his stomach used to be.
"Sounds like you weren't acclimated to my punch," Seiya said before taking Chill Penguin's power and thus giving Wav a new chip. "Well, that should warm things up for a while." Wav said before walking out of the store. As he headed out, his mother and Ciela found him. "Oh, Wav! Where were you!? I thought you were waiting for us, but then it got cold all of a sudden and-"
Wav interrupted, saying "Mom, there was a rogue Navi, so Seiya and I went to stop it." Seiya scoffed at that statement. "You mean, YOU went off and I was forced to tag along," Seiya commented. "Mom, could you give us a minute?" Wav asked his mother, who nodded. "Did they get into a fight again?" She asked Ciela who shrugged.
"Look, I don't know what your deal is, but I don't appreciate you acting like a jerk in front of my mom!" Wav shouted at Seiya, who responded "I don't care who it was, someone had to tell the truth. And besides, you weren't going to tell her that you couldn't have just waited for someone else, could ya?"
Wav had put up with Seiya's apparent rudeness, until now. "You know why I named you Seiya? It's because he was my hero. He'd always try to help whenever necessary and reciprocate any sort of positive feedback he receives. But, I can see that I made a mistake. You clearly don't like me, you have something against doing the right thing, and all you care about is fighting Sigma.
You don't care at all about the other Navis who might not be able to stand up for themselves. All you care about it making yourself look tough when you're just a scaredy cat!" Wav had said, laying into Seiya, who also snapped. "Say that again. I dare you." Wav then stood up and responded "Fine. You're a coward and a weakling."
Wav put the PET back in his pocket but obscured the screen so no one can see what Seiya is doing. If they could, they would see the Navi throwing a tantrum at Wav's words. Blaming everyone but himself for the predicament that he's put himself into. "Alright, let's go home." Wav said to his mom, who was wondering what put him in a bad mood, to which Wav said: "It was nothing."
When they got home, Wav placed Seiya's PET near the PC but didn't Jack him in. He then didn't feel like getting up from his bed and being too depressed at what he just said to his Navi. Blaming himself for why his Navi is so angry at him, though also not wanting to make his dad feel bad for making his birthday gift…
