A/N: Chapter four now, whew I'm working myself pretty hard trying to complete this story. I just don't want to stop writing and eventually drop the story like so many writers unfortunately do. I know I'm nowhere near perfect, but I want to make this at least a decent rewrite of my favorite Megaman games. Reviews really help motivate me so please, leave one. It'll mean a lot more than you may believe. Now responding to reviews
RedBurningDragon: Haha, yeah it was an interesting first day. I don't want the story to be too slow, and I want to make each chapter entertaining so I try to put in as much as I feel fits. Thanks for the review
Guest reviewer: First of all, I want to thank you for giving your honest thoughts and flaws about my story, I will not be angry with any constructive criticism so don't feel like I'll get upset at you for giving your honest thoughts. I will address all your points just to show there is no bad blood. Firstly, Geo going to school early on was a creative decision I made due to influence from the anime and other fanfictions, that along with skipping the meeting of Geo and Omega-Xis. I decided to do this because I feel school will be an easier place to introduce characters rather than having some weak coincidence, and it's not that he's convinced he's going to school, Mega literally forces him to go. Also with Geo opening up too easily, it's not that he's opening up to other people, he just has a weakness to space that Sonia uses to get him to talk. Also, this is a GeoxSonia fic so the hidden reason for Geo speaking to Sonia first was because of that. He isn't emo, he just pretends to project that persona so he doesn't make friends, it's not that he hates people he's just scared to grow attached to them. Also, the introversion of Geo will continue throughout the story until maybe the Harp Note arc, it's not like it was all over in that one chapter. And the reason why I'm going so fast is I find the opening of Starforce to run a little too slow, and I personally love when the FM plot starts happening. In fact I was worried I was going too slow! I'm glad you left a review so I can be sure to space out incidents more, but just know that I will be going much faster than the games, not as fast as the anime though. Once again thank you for showing your different opinion, it will help future chapters for sure.
Now with that done, please enjoy the chapter!
"Megaman? Seriously kid? That's the best you could think of?" The alien complained.
"Sorry Mega! I was under pressure, and I just kinda made it up! I think it sounds cool" Geo defended.
They were sitting on the edge of a wave road, looking over the police as they helped with rebuilding the areas of town the Jammer had destroyed. The battle between Megaman and the monster was only a few minutes ago, yet it was already viral on social media. Videos of the blue bomber were going crazy, the hero of Electopia was already loved by many.
"So, the dude that was possessed by the virus, will he be…?" Geo asked, concerned he actually killed an innocent man
"No he'll be fine, maybe wake up with a headache. It's an odd thing, fusing with a human. Usually when the human is in control, like how you are, if we die during a wave change we both die, but if I was in full control I'd be the one dying. The only thing that died in you deleting that Jammer was the virus that possessed him." Mega explained, Geo nodding, satisfied with that explanation.
Suddenly Geo groaned, his entire body was aching from the battle "Dang that Jammer hit hard" he said, holding his ribs.
"Try using a recovery battle card, it'll heal any broken bones or potential major injuries" Mega suggested
Geo nodded and used it, feeling instantly better. He stood up and stretched "Wow that works wonders"
"Unfortunately it won't transfer well when you are human, so you'll still have some bruises" Mega said
"Yeah I figured it was too good to be true" Geo sighed, going back to his house
"This encounter proves we still have a long way to go before we are able to take on an FMian. Jammers are much weaker than an FMian, around three Jammers would be equal to one FMian." Mega said
"That's not good, we barely were able to beat one of them" Geo sighed, phasing into his room and transforming back into his human form, instantly falling to the ground.
"Agh!" Geo gasped, feeling some of the after effects from the fight.
"You good kid?" Mega asked from Geo's transer.
Geo went over to a mirror and saw he had a pretty serious looking bruise on his cheek, and when he took off his shirt he saw they were all around his body.
"Whoa, that doesn't look too healthy" Geo said.
"The recovery battle card will take time to adjust to your human body, I'd give it a few days before you are back to 100%" Mega said
"Few days? Ugh how am I supposed to explain the giant bruise on my face to Mom?" Geo sighed, before hearing his mother come into the house. Geo quickly put on his shirt and went out of his room to greet her.
Hope Stelar looked really young for her age. She had the same brown hair and eyes Geo had, except a lot darker. She always wore a purple t-shirt and jeans everyday, looking like she was in her mid 20's. She usually had a large smile on her face, quite different from Geo's hard expression. Hope stayed a single mom, working different part time jobs to help support them, though Mr. Boreal helped a lot with finances when he could.
Hope gasped when she saw Geo's face "What happened! Are you okay?" She said, quickly grabbing an ice pack.
"I'm okay Mom, I swear, I just kinda fell when I was coming home from school." Geo said quickly.
"I was worried you were involved with the accident that happened today!" She said, referring to the Jammer attack.
"No I wasn't there" Geo lied "I actually went to Vista Point and fell when coming back"
"Didn't you say you were coming home from school?" Hope questioned
"Uhh, I went to Vista Point after school, then fell when coming here" Geo corrected.
'Smooth kid' Mega said sarcastically.
'Shut up' Geo thought.
After a few more minutes of her mother fussing over Geo, Hope sat him down on the couch and made him some dinner.
"So, how was your first day of school?" Hope asked, handing Geo a plate of food.
"It was pretty good I guess, Mr. Boreal came in to teach a class on astronomy so that was interesting" Geo said before eating.
"Oooh that's fun! Oh was your transer on? Did you make any friends?" Hope asked.
"Yeah my transer was on" Geo said, looking at his arm, seeing his Pegasus satellite transer.
Every transer was assigned to a specific satellite, Pegasus, Dragon, or Leo. Pegasus transers were blue, Leo red, and Dragon green.
"And no, I didn't make friends" Geo said
'Liar' Mega said, referring to Sonia
'Shut up Mega' Geo thought once again.
"Aw that's too bad…did you meet any cute girls!?" Hope asked, Geo frowning at that question
"Mom!"
Thankfully the first day Geo went to school was a Friday, so he had Saturday and Sunday to recover. Unfortunately he still had to have a small bandage over his hurt cheek.
Geo arrived at school early, sitting in his desk for his first class, staring out the window.
'Mega, you never did tell me why the FMians are after you' Geo mentally told Mega
'Must've slipped my mind, I stole the key to a world destroying weapon of theirs, the Andromeda Key' Mega said
'A world destroying weapon?' Geo was in shock
'Yes, Andromeda was responsible for destroying hundreds of planets, including planet AM, the peaceful sister planet of FM I told you about' Mega said
Geo was about to mentally respond when someone poked him on the shoulder. The boy turned to see a familiar, pink haired girl looking at him.
"Hey Geo! What's with the long face?" Sonia asked, noting Geo's serious expression.
"It's nothing, I just was thinking" Geo responded
"About what?"
"Um… stuff" Geo responded
'My god kid they should give you an Oscar!' Mega chuckled
"Stuff? Alright whatever, what happened to your cheek!" Sonia blinked, moving to examine the bandage over Geo's small bruise.
"I uh, fell" Geo said
"Okay, I thought it was something more serious like you were involved in that freak incident downtown" She said.
"Oh, no I wasn't there" Geo lied, feeling uncharacteristically guilty for doing so.
"Okay good, I heard Luna was there" Sonia said, her face full of concern.
"Luna? Maybe you should ask her about it when she comes in" Geo said.
"Yeah, of course we will!" Sonia said enthusiastically
'Hold on, we?' Geo thought before nodding instinctively.
'Ha, nice kid you've gotten through another conversation with the Pinky' Mega teased
'Shut up Mega' Geo thought for what seemed like the hundredth time.
A few minutes later Luna came in with Bud and Zack, Sonia dragging Geo up to them and asking "Hey Luna, we heard about what happened and wanted to ask if you were okay."
Luna suddenly had an uncharacteristically happy expression "Okay? I'm amazing! Did you see him on the news? Megaman! He saved me! He's so cool! I'm going to marry him and…" she continued to gush and fangirl about Megaman, Geo visibly flinching
'Oh god, please tell me this is a dream' Geo thought
'Not a dream kid, more like a living nightmare' Mega corrected, laughing at Geo as he did so.
Bud and Zack both looked completely tired of hearing Luna fangirl about the blue bomber, they must've heard Luna describe their 'future' wedding about a hundred times. They were too burned out from Luna that they couldn't even fanboy out about Sonia.
Geo noticed something off about Bud, he seemed disturbed about what happened to Luna, and that he couldn't protect her. Geo shrugged the feelings about others away from his mind, he needed to remember to keep focused on his own problems, such as the FMians
"So, Sonia have you made any Brother-Bands with anyone here yet?" Luna asked
Brother-Bands were a big deal, they were the ultimate symbol of friendship, a link that bonded two or more people. There was a rumor that people who had brother bands became stronger, getting something called 'Link Power' but that was just theoretical at this time. Brother bands were done through the transers of course, much like every other aspect of their lives, but according to some a Brother-Band meant so much more than that. It was extremely common for a person to have at least 2 brothers, a person not having a single one was an anomaly to this society.
Geo Stelar didn't have a single brother.
"Ummm no not yet" Sonia answered, looking uncomfortable for some reason.
"Ah, well I'm sure you'll find some! If you want Zack, Bud and I could be your brothers!" Luna said, Zack and Bud excited at the idea.
Sonia smiled "Thanks, maybe sometime we should! Right now I can't though!" She said
"That's fine, Geo?" Luna asked
"No" Geo said without a second thought, causing them all to frown
"Hey! You can't just refuse the Prez like that!" Zack and Bud started getting seriously upset.
"Guys chill-" Luna started but Bud was too fired up to hear, this was his chance to prove to Luna, prove to himself that he was useful to the Prez's group. Bud stood in front of Geo threateningly
"Apologize to the Prez! You have only been rude to us when all we've been doing is try to help you open up!" Bud said
Geo frowned, not wanting to get into a fight with anyone, but not wanting to apologize for something as small as refusing to be a brother with someone he didn't like. "No" he said simply, not backing down. They didn't notice the entire class looking at them, Sonia and Luna too shocked to try and defuse the situation.
"Why you-! Stop acting like an arrogant jerk! We are just trying to be your friends!" Bud yelled
"What makes you think I want friends!" Geo shot back, getting angry himself, he didn't need Bud to lecture him about this stuff.
"You need friends! After what happened to your dad and the space station…" Bud unintentionally slipping that the trio knew about Geo's father's accident.
Geo snapped "Shut up!" He said, shoving Bud back into a desk, the large boy surprised at the anger Geo showed at the mention of Kelvin Stelar. Everyone gasped, knowing what was about to happen
"You little!" Bud roared, starting to charge Geo
"Enough of this" Mega said in Geo's transer, taking control of his arm and making Geo uppercut Bud so hard, he fell back unconscious.
Everyone stood in shock, Geo's eyes wide.
"G-Geo what? Why…?" Sonia gasped in shock, horrified at what had taken place.
"Someone call the teacher! And the nurse!" Luna said, Zack going to do that.
"I-I didn't, I wasn't trying to…" Geo stuttered before running out of the room, and eventually out of the school.
Meanwhile just outside the earth's atmosphere a figure stared at the planet with its blood red eyes
"I'm coming for you Omega-Xis, and the entire planet of FM will remember the name of the warrior who deleted you and recovered the Andromeda Key from the traitor who stole it, they will remember TAURUS!"
Yep, it's time for Taurus to charge in. Remember to review.
