Chapter 3
It's been a day since Tom tested the Flying Jacket. He walked into Amaken and asked to speak with Aaron. "I've got a question. How much does Geo truly know about those FMians?"
"Sorry, he asked me not to tell anyone." Aaron replied. "Wait, you didn't meet with that Cygnus guy did you?"
"Uh..."
"He didn't take over your mind, I hope."
"He didn't. He answered my questions, and I wanted to find out just how much Geo would say is true. He's the only one that I figure can be trusted."
Aaron looked at Tom. "I see. He gave information on the Andromeda Key, each of the FMians that would come to Earth, which ones would betray the FM King, how they all fight, everything. He even has dossiers of each one, and I took the liberty of checking each one of them out. Everything make sense, the way it was put."
"Which ones are likely to turn their back on that Cepheus guy?"
"1 for sure. Another was never on his side, and is likely to end up trying to take the Andromeda Key for himself if it's found. I don't know where it is, and he said it's best if no one else knows. The power it holds has destroyed planets. That's all he said on the matter."
"That kid knows more than he let on."
"Mr. Boreal!" Geo ran up to them.
"Ah, Geo. Tom here was just wondering about you."
"Geo, how much do you really know about those FMians?"
"Who they'd match up with, how they fight, their main purpose in an invasion, not to mention how to take them dow... Why do I sense Cygnus?"
Cygnus popped out of the Transer. "This kid knows too much."
"I know more than that, Cygnus. I could even tell you who you shouldn't trust among your ranks."
"Oh? And who might that be?"
"For starters, Gemini believes that Cepheus is weak willed. You can't beat him, either. He's the only one that tops you on the Threat list. And that's a mutual thing."
"You'd give me the information that would help me destroy your planet?"
"You won't be able to if the Andromeda Key got itself destroyed, would it?"
"What do you mean?" Cygnus paused. "And how come you can see me?"
"I've got my Denpa Vision active. A little gift I got when I was born. Only recently did I awaken it. Right now, I'm looking at you through the Wave World. The only reason I haven't decided to take you down, is to ask you a question. Why haven't you tried taking over his mind? If I'm correct, you would've gotten a little impatient, and tried to take over his mind while he was sleeping if you could."
"I could have, but I didn't."
"How do I know I can trust you?" Geo raised an eyebrow.
"I asked you the same thing, Geo." Tom stated.
"I know, but this isn't something I can't be too careful with."
"Well, you obviously know more than I first thought. And I can even sense Omega-xis with you. That must be how you learned of us."
Geo smirked. "If that were the case, then I wouldn't know how to counter all of your attacks. Not to mention the fact that I've faced Cygnus Wing several times."
This caught Cygnus and Tom off guard. "Impossible. The only time I ever saw you..."
"Is back in the quarry?" Geo cut him off. "News Flash, there's a little thing called Time Travel. I was about to Save Planet FM, for the SECOND time, and you were on my side. I would've had to know how you fought, if I were to cover your weak spots. This is several years into the future, and I know just how loyal you are to the FM King, Cepheus."
"Then you realize that I can't let you live."
"Who said that you couldn't try? I know for a fact you'd fail at that. Just like you aren't aware of the fact that we got rid of the Andromeda Key, due to the threat it posed. The Hero of Earth will not back down from a threat to the Earth, and will fight to his last breath to make sure it is safe."
Cygnus was silent. "You seem prepared."
"Cygnus, you aren't seriously thinking about..."
"No choice. I have to take out Omega-xis. If that means I have to get him out here, then I will do whatever it takes. Denpa Henkan!"
Cygnus took control of Tom's body. "I am sorry, Tom, but this is something I must do before I can do anything else."
Geo smirked. "I remember you having a lot more power than this. Denpa Henkan! Geo Stelar, On air!"
SF Mega and Cygnus Wing appeared outside. "What? Where is Omega-xis?"
"I'm going to fight you with my own strength. Not his."
"What do you mean by that?" Cygnus wing questioned.
"You're about to find out." SF Mega replied. "Battle Card! Break Saber! Gatling Gun!"
The left hand turned into a Break Saber, while his right hand turned into the Gatling Gun, which he fired the moment it was ready. Cygnus Wing had to dodge them all, but was having Difficulty. "Dancing Swan!" The bullets started hitting the Vortex, but then stopped completely.
He stopped spinning, and looked to see that SFM was not there. "Where are you? Show yourself!"
"As you wish." SFM said from behind him, as a Hand went through his chest, and grabbed his face. SFM then threw Cygnus Wing out. "Battle Card! Impact Cannon!"
Cygnus Wing managed to regain his bearings when SFM was aiming right at him, and fired. "Argh!"
"It's time to use my back-up." CW stated. "You've lost this round, Megaman!" CW flew into the Atmosphere.
SF Mega got onto the ground and saw Copper. "You better evacuate the area, officer."
"What are you talking about? You're under arrest!"
"Not when there's a satellite about to crash at this very location."
"What?"
"Near as I can figure, it's an old unused Satellite." SFM said as he looked up. "It's current trajectory would place it here in about 7 minutes. I'm going to see if I can stop it from doing as much damage as possible. For now, evacuate all civilian and staff. Get your men out of here as well. Cygnus is not going to let go of his host that easily."
"Megaman!" A shrill voice called. It was Luna. "You beat him..."
"Not yet, I haven't. He had an ace up his sleeve, and now I have to stop it. Get as far away from here as you possibly can. This place is about to become extremely dangerous."
"What about you?"
"I'll be fine. Officer, there isn't any time to explain, so I'll be quick about this. Cygnus has taken control of a human, and I have to stop him. Leave him to me. Get everyone else out of here."
"I don't take orders from you!" Copper yelled.
"You have no choice in the matter! If you don't go, and I fail, you'll die, and so will everyone in about a 10 mile radius. Do you want that to be on your conscious?" SFM asked.
"Fine. Just get back here alive."
"I don't have any intentions on dying just yet." SFM looked to the sky and left via the Wave Roads.
All the staff was running out of the building. Copper decided to take charge and get them out of there. Mr. Boreal got up to him. "Where's Megaman?"
"He went after that Cygnus guy, and told me to get everyone out of here. He gave a pretty good reason, too." Copper replied.
"I see. Don't worry too much about him. He can handle it. I know him somewhat personally, so I know he can handle it." Aaron replied.
"Then you could tell me where he lives."
"Not here. Not now. Besides, he's on our side, and he knows how his enemy works. He gave me a pretty detailed description of their usual battle Tactics, what to avoid, and how to avoid it."
"Then he knows how the Satella Police work!"
"He does, but that's not who his enemy is." Aaron looked up. "His enemy, as he put it, are the FMians that wish to destroy Earth. He's an AMian. He knows he can trust me, and I'm not about to betray his trust."
"Destroy Earth?"
"That's what he said. Something about an Andromeda Key. Thing is, he just said he destroyed it." Aaron stated.
"Then why bother?"
"I'd like to know that as well." Aaron replied.
-in space-
Megaman had just gotten up to Cygnus Wing and the Satellite.
"So you came after all."
"I can't let you hurt all those innocent people!" Megaman stated. "Omega-xis, it's time we go Buck wild!"
"Now you're talking my language!" Omega-xis shouted.
"And now Omega-xis joins the fray." CW replied. "Separate yourself from Omega-xis. You are not my target. He is."
"No can do." Megaman said. "He's a friend, and I don't leave my friends hanging."
"Cut the theatrics!" Omega-xis yelled.
"You know, you usually yell at Hyde about that." Megaman pointed out. Omega-xis went silent.
"Cygnus Feather Shot!"
Megaman noticed this and tried to dodge to the right. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Omega-xis and Geo separated. SF Mega and SF Omega are back in action.
They both looked at each other. "Get ready," SF Mega started.
"Cygnus Wing!" SF Omega finished.
"Megabuster!" was the simultaneous cry. CW got hit twice.
"You win this round, Omega-xis. I will have to apologize to Tom, but for now, a retreat is in order." CW said, as he left.
"Alright kid. You remember how to take this thing down?"
"Like hell I'd forget!" SFM replied. "Megabuster!" he shot at one of the wings, and fell off making it turn to a lopsided position. It then broke apart and, though it took a while, landed in small chunks in the Ocean.
"Let's head back." SFM said.
"Sure thing kid." They both sped back to Amaken.
-outside Amaken-
Copper and Mr. Boreal were standing outside the main building when 2 copies of Megaman landed.
"What? There are two of you?" Copper raised an eyebrow.
"Side effect of one of our abilities." SF Mega stated.
"It'll help us keep Earth safe." SF Omega replied.
"What is this Andromeda Key?" Copper asked. "And how do I know you're truly on our side?"
"The Andromeda Key is a controller. The real threat it poses is what it controls." SFM stated.
"Andromeda. The most destructive weapon Planet FM holds. They wish to use it to destroy Planet Earth." SFO continued.
"We're not going to let them." SFM added. "And once one of our friends get here,"
"She'll be on our side." SFO continued.
"That is, if the host can regain control." SFM added. "Until she does that, there may be complications with where she stands. I know for a fact, that she can handle it, but I'll need to be there as well."
"Oh? And how do you know you'll be needed?"
"Emotions." SF Omega stated. "When the host experiences enough emotion while under the control of an FMian, they can regain control."
"The host of that particular one happens to be my girlfriend, and she's already aware that I can do this. We are both aware of what's going on, even if it doesn't go public." SF Mega stated.
"Aaron Boreal." SF Omega stated. "You were given a complete Dossier on the FMian ranks. It is thanks to us that Geo could have gotten them. Copy them, and give them to the Satella Police."
"If we're going to work together to beat back the FMians, we're going to need to trust each other." SFM stated.
"Meaning, if we have to give you a reason not to interfere," SF Omega continued.
"Then we'll give you the biggest reason." SF Mega finished. "Don't make our strained partnership harder than it has to be. Leave the FMians to us,"
"And we'll get along fine." SF Omega finished.
"Suspect who we are all you like."
"Until we find it necessary to show you," SFO continued.
"We won't let you find out."
"So we think it best,"
"That you don't bother trying." SFM finished.
"You know that finishing each other's sentences is annoying right?" Aaron asked.
"So we've heard." SF Mega shrugged. "Let's go Omega."
"You know it." They both warped out.
"Please tell me you have something on them." Copper stated.
"I got nothing. Only that he gave his friend, who happens to be the son of my old colleague, and he gave it to me, trusting that I knew what to do with it." he replied. "The two of them are good friends, and both know how to use Battle Cards with extreme efficiency."
"Who is this kid?" Copper asked.
"I'd rather not say. To protect his family, and his friend, I'm not at liberty to say." Aaron stated. "I'm sorry."
"I'll find out sooner or later. You do realize that, right?" Copper asked.
"I know, but if I can help a friend, I will."
"Fine. I'm out." Copper said as he got back into his car and drove off.
'Geo, you're skating on thin ice already. Don't make it thinner.' he thought.
-with Geo-
Geo had just gotten home, Omega-xis in his Transer.
"Mom, I'm home!"
"Hey Geo!" A female voice, that wasn't his mom replied.
"Sonia? What are you doing here?" Geo asked.
"She came by asking for a date." Hope replied. "I figured you were close, but to think she knew this much about you..."
"She probably knows more than she told you. She knows me inside and out. And I know her just as well." Geo told her.
"He's right, but those are things that he would rather not tell anyone. It's a wonder why he even told me about some of it." Sonia admitted.
"You're my girlfriend. What other reason do I need?" Geo asked.
"True."
"Geo... How did you become friends with her in the first place?" Hope asked.
"You want this one? Or should I explain it?" Geo asked.
"I'll take it."
-Flashback-
Sonia was currently being swarmed by a mob of fans. She was cornered, and no one could get her out of it. She suddenly found herself in an alley, Geo was looking around a corner at the confused mob.
"Wait here, I'll get them away from you." Geo said glancing at her. She didn't bother saying anything.
Geo ran out into the open. "Hey look! There she is!" He pointed down the street in the opposite direction. The crowd followed the one he pointed at, who began to run from the mob.
He then went back to Sonia. "Are you okay? They didn't harm you or anything, right?"
"No, they didn't. Who are you?"
"Let's just say I'm someone who knows what it's like to feel alone." Geo replied. "I also know what it's like to have the world on your shoulders."
"You too?" Sonia started crying.
"Please, don't cry. I didn't go through all of that just to send you back to them. Here. I'll take you to a place no one would be going to around this time. You'll have to be quiet, though."
"Wait. How do I know you won't try anything funny with me?"
"I have no intentions of doing something like that to someone else who carries a huge burden they don't like to lift." Geo replied.
"Why are you being so vague about this?" Sonia asked.
"Because what I know, is not good to say in a place like this. Mainly because of the echo." Geo stated.
It took an hour to get to Vista Point. "Vista Point. One of my favorite spots. Also the best place to gaze at the stars at night."
"Why did you bring me here?"
"To get you away from your fans." Geo replied. "My name is Geo Stelar."
"Thanks. I'm..."
"I already know who you are."
"Then you're..."
"I'm not like your fans." Geo stated as he sat down. "I like you, sure. But not the way your fans do. Those are just annoying. Plus I know one thing about you that they will never find out."
"What are you... No... you couldn't be talking about..."
"Yes, I am. And what's more: I can, too." Geo stated. "There's no reason for you to trust me on this, but what I say is the truth, Sonia."
"How did you find out?"
"I saved you a few times like that. The reverse is true as well." Geo replied. "The only reason I know who you are, is because you changed back while you were unconscious. You were in my arms at that point, so it's only natural that I noticed. Of course, I had my suspicions, but that is when I knew I could prove it, since I saw it with my own eyes."
"You mean..."
"Yes. That's exactly who I am. You and me are more alike than you think. I figure I should get to know you on a personal level, since a singer is bound to have some sort of cover story for their background."
"I do have one, yes."
"I'll tell you my back story, and you tell me yours. Deal?" Geo asked.
"Deal." They talked for a few hours.
-Flashback Kai!-
"That's how we got together." Sonia stated.
"Kind of weird that we both had the same outlook on life that day, if you ask me." Geo added.
"It just shows we were made for each other." Sonia smiled.
"And that is why I like you." Geo replied.
"Well then, does Luna know?" Hope asked, an eyebrow raised.
"No mom. I've kept it a secret as long as I possibly could. The first ones to find out were the Satella Police the other night." Geo stated. "Besides, I've been trying to avoid her recently."
"Oh yeah. Aaron called earlier. He said something about his colleague wanting to talk to you about something."
"At Amaken? I just came from there. Something happened while I was there, and we were cut short. I ran as soon as the first explosion occurred." Geo replied.
"Explosion?" Hope was somewhat hysterical.
"I didn't stick around mom. I know better than to get mixed up in something like that. If not for the fact I was able to switch with other objects, I probably wouldn't have gotten out of the building without a scratch. It was pretty clear cut to get out of there after that. I wasn't able to get Mr. Boreal out of there, because I was so focused on getting out of there alive. For both of you. Two of the only ones who truly care about my well being."
"I can't say I approve of you being there when it happened, but I guess I can't say much about it since you were there for a while when it happened." Hope stated. "How long were you there when it happened?"
"About half an hour." Geo replied. "Some guy called Cygnus Wing tried to attack the guy in a blue suit. I think his name is Megaman. I was in the area when he saved Luna from falling."
"Who won?" Sonia asked.
"I wasn't paying much attention, but I did hear something about a Satellite falling. I guess being around right now is proof enough Megaman won that one." Geo replied. "Something tells me that wasn't the last of that Cygnus Wing guy, though. I don't know why but something is bugging me about it. The more I think about it, the more I begin to think Megaman won the battle but the war has just begun, so to speak."
"I see." Hope stated. "That guy isn't beaten completely. He just had to retreat, didn't he?"
"That's my guess." Geo stated.
"Well, you can go out with her, but make sure you're home by 6:00." Hope stated.
"Alright, mom. It's gonna be a pain trying to get others to think she's not the famous singer Sonia, you know."
"I see that." Hope replied.
"Oh yeah. I didn't tell you yet, did I?" Sonia asked.
"Tell me what?" Geo asked.
"I managed to convince my manager to let me take off my singing duties for a while so I can go to school. Since I'm the same age as you, I'd probably be put in your class." Sonia stated.
'She's trying to get me to go to school... Well, she's doing a better job than Luna did.' Geo thought.
"You didn't tell her you didn't go to a public school, did you?" Hope raised an eyebrow.
"You did get me enrolled, didn't you?" Geo asked.
"Yes but you never go to school. You do all your work online."
"Well, starting tomorrow that's changing."
"Well, since I moved in next door, I'll be able to walk with you."
"That's good. You and I can get to school in a way that only we can." Geo replied.
"Oh?" Hope raised an eyebrow again. "And why is this?"
"You remember how I got out of Luna's grasp when she grabbed my wrist?" Geo asked. "I taught her how to do that. It comes in handy with her fans. Especially since that's how I got her out of that mob in the first place. It confuses them to no end."
"Yeah, and they're always searching for hours. They never find me." Sonia added.
"It's fun messing with your fans." Geo stated.
"True." Sonia gave Geo a thumbs up, which he returned.
"Alright. Let's get going." Geo said, happily.
"Remember, 6:00."
"I know, mom. Seriously." Geo told her.
They both left the house. "That boy is going to get an lecture when he gets back." Hope giggled at the ideas forming in her head. 'At least she's gotten him a lot more outgoing. Things are going to be different around here, that's for sure.'

That's the end of this chapter.
Unfortunately, at this point in time, since I haven't finished any chapters since my last update, I haven't placed those that I did complete afterwards. I didn't have internet for that long after my last update. Maybe 10 minutes.
Anyway, I'll be updating this story quite often. I've also got other things to add in for other stories, so there's not much else to say.
See ya next chapter!
