O.N: hello readers and welcome once again to our little flying birdie we call Network Wings. i think it's time for this bird to fly back down and take a little rest from all the action it's seen.
GT: Aye. Do a little bit more development of things that have already happened then new things being added on. *lounging*
O.N: Basically you've seen enough actions now it's time to relax.*here's a whine* be quiet Musubi.
GT: Aye! This time, ON will do disclaimers. *munches on a bar of chocobo*
Disclaimers: GammaTron and OverNerd do not own the Megaman franchise or the Sekirei franchise. They are owned by CAPCOM and Square Enix respectively. GammaTron, however, does own the PeT Omega's design, Aphrodite, and Skye.
GT: Roll it. *hand glows blue before the screen is pulled down*
"..." Lan's eyes twitched as Akitsu laid on top of him while Matsu and Musubi hugged his arms. "It's going to be another one of those days."
Hub snored as he groped an awake Roll and a sleeping Yashima...and Meddy who snuck in while Roll was sleeping. Roll's eye twitched at seeing the Recov-Element NetNavi, but was conflicted. On the one hand, Hub was nice and cuddly. On the other, Meddy was on him. Of course now another thing that bothered her...she was literally the smallest one in the bed. It felt like she snuck in with her parents to feel safe, for crying out loud.
'I can't believe I'm going to think this, but…' Roll sighed mentally, giving a silent sigh of resignation, '...I think I'm going to need that update after all.'
"Well now, how are Hub and Lan doing?" Aphrodite asked as everyone was at the breakfast table (Kagari with his dinner as usual).
"Well, they seem to be fine like when they came for that check up," Jasmine informed, wearing an outfit on Aphrodite's recommendation (said outfit being a pink nurse's outfit with chibi wings sewn on the back).
"Despite the sudden growth spurt here," Meddy, wearing a violet version of Jasmine's outfit, added while hugging a blushing Hub's arm.
Roll and Maylu's eyes twitched since Lan and Hub's sides were occupied by either Jasmine and Akitsu or Meddy and Yashima respectively.
"Matsu, you do know you don't have to eat in there, right?" Aphrodite questioned a wall nearby, "Everyone knows you're here, after all."
"I'm comfy, oh and Roll-tan, I got what you ask for ready! Come see me after breakfast."
"Oh?" Aphrodite looked at a blushing Roll, "What's this? What are you planning with Matsu, sweetie?"
"It's...a secret," Roll replied, trying not to look at Hub.
"Oh? Oh!" Aphrodite beamed before giving a giggle, "Well, it's about time. Honestly, I was wondering how long it'd take until you agreed to doing that."
"That?" Hub asked.
"Nothing!" Roll quickly informed.
"Master, can we go for a walk?" Yashima begged, wearing a cosplay pair of dog ears and a tail.
"...Uzume, I blame you for giving her the dog ears and tail," Hub frowned at Uzume.
"I didn't." Uzume said as Aphrodite whistled innocently.
"So what's on agendas for today?" Aphrodite asked.
"Studying since my courses start in a few weeks," Lan said, finishing up and picking up his empty dish, "And I'll be not leaving for anything. Anything, I tell you!"
"..." all the Sekirei he winged shared a look as he left.
"As for me, I think I'm gonna spend some time outside. I am in the mood of a wal...get off your all fours!" Hub snapped at Yashima.
"...I wonder if this is her actual self, or a side-effect of what you two did," Aphrodite looked over at Roll and Maylu.
"What did we do?" Roll asked.
"All we did was heal her a bit," Maylu added.
'You also removed her crest without terminating her,' Aphrodite noted mentally, "Very well."
"And I'm going out with Hibiki and Hikari to find another job, considering Curry-chan's is still being rebuilt," Maylu added.
"You worked at that place?" Jasmine asked with a raised brow.
"...I needed the work experience," Maylu glowered.
"And just when you got a raise, too," Roll noted.
"Sowwy, Auntie," Kusano apologized.
"Oh don't worry, princess," Uzume giggled, patting her head, "Not your fault."
"Ahh! That reminds me. I have a new tenant coming in!" Aphrodite beamed, "She's here on a diplomatic job all the way from Creamland."
"...Creamland?" Lan-having walked back in-, Hub, Roll, Maylu, Jasmine, and Meddy froze
"Indeed. Apparently, she's a dignitary," Aphrodite added before pouting a bit, "Which means we can't have a lot of fun. Matsu, I'm setting up the Important Dignitaries Rules now!"
"DANG IT!" Matsu cursed from the wall.
"Considering everyone is here, I'll go over the rules immediately," Aphrodite informed.
"Wait wait wait!" Lan stopped, "She wouldn't happen to be a princess, would she?"
"No idea. They just said dignitary,'" Aphrodite replied, "Now listen up, the following rules are now in effect: Opposite genders are forbidden from sharing the same room unless married or are NetNavis. Therefore, I'll have to rearrange some rooms for all the girls here."
"Nooooo..." Musubi whined.
"Ah…" a pause, "Boo."
"Oh, don't worry you're safe," Uzume noted.
"Rule number 2: Sekirei and Ashikabi are to remain in separate rooms while said dignitary is here," Aphrodite continued.
"...or not," Uzume deadpanned.
*knock knock*
"I'll get it," Kagari informed, "I already know all the rules."
"As you should since you're the first resident here," Aphrodite nodded as he left to answer the door, "Rule number 3: Nothing sexual is to happen in the building while said dignitary is in here...unless said dignitary starts it. Even then, no nudity in the halls or while the sun is out."
"Umm...Aphrodite?" Kagari asked, poking his head in, "Your dignitary is dressed in casual clothes."
"..." Aphrodite reached into her cleavage and pulled out a sheet of paper, "...'In case of a dignitary is in casual clothing: still no nudity in the halls.'"
"Excuse me, are you gonna refer to me as dignitary or talk to me?" a female voice asked. coming in
"Hm?" Aphrodite looked up to see Kagari escorting a woman in her late twenties wearing a pair of brown pants, a brown hat with her hair pulled into it, a white buttoned shirt with puffy brown shoulders, and brown gloves in, "Oh! Come in! Come in! I was just informing everyone about the rules as per every day's mornings."
"Oh, please don't change any rules on my behalf. I wish for you to treat me like a regular tennant." she informed, "I shall also get a job to pay my monthly rent."
"..." Aphrodite reached into Uzume's cleavage and pulled another paper out.
"What the…?!" Uzume gawked.
"'In case of dignitary asking to be treated as regular tennant: all original rules apply,'" Aphrodite read, "...I'm still doing some room rearrangements for some tenants, though. Those rooms have a limit to how many can be in them."
"Oh shall I assist in that. It sounds like rearranging is in order." she informed.
"Oh please. I can't…" Aphrodite began
"How does an indoor hot spring sound?"
"..." Aphrodite put a set of blueprints down beside the now-sitting new tenant, "Where do you think it'd go best? East wing or the west wing? Maybe in its own building in the back? "
"Why not both?"
"I made an agreement with my hubby on there only being one hotspring allowed."
"Well than, why not its own building? Anything else you need before I make the calls?"
"...oh, this is going to be enjoyable."
"...I sense...I'm getting a hot spring." Skye blinked before slumping, "And I can't even enjoy it…"
"Shoryuken!" Minka shouted before uppercutting Skye.
"Motherfucker! I wasn't paying attention!"
"Your distraction was my advantage!" Minaka laughed.
"You closed your eyes!" Skye declared, performing a slide kick.
"Oh, cheap move, jerk!" Minaka barked before Skye repeated it, "Oh come on!"
"Why is Lan avoiding the new tenant?" Uzume asked Hub as Hub was mopping the floor.
"To avoid Maylu's fury if she comes back early."
"Huh?"
"Our new tenant is a princess," Hub explained, "And she likes Lan."
"Ooh~" Uzume grinned, "Just like with that Jasmine girl, eh?"
"Wait, really?" Hub blinked, "Huh. Never noticed. I remember this girl named 'Iris.' Man, did she make it clear she liked him, even if she couldn't say it out loud."
"What was the probl…"
"She was a NetNavi."
"oh…"
"A NetNavi from another universe, no less….it's a long story. And to sum it up, Lan still has no idea."
"Well that's gotta suck," Uzume noted.
"Yeah. I mean, if she did stay, Lan would also have to keep an eye open at night to not get killed by her brother."
"...I kinda wish we could meet this girl."
"Achoo!"
"I do kinda miss Trill," Hub continued, "I wonder where Roll went off to?"
"Okay...you are aware this may be slightly dangerous?" Matsu told Roll, who was in her laptop, "You may not even be the same Roll afterwards."
"It's just an image data update, Matsu," Aphrodite noted, "...What are you planning on doing to my daughter?"
"She asked for a full update."
"...Roll?" Aphrodite asked.
"Well...Yeah. I've noticed that viruses are getting stronger and harder to delete than I normally could," Roll replied.
"And you're feeling off with Hub's new form," Aphrodite noted, "Oh come on, sweetie. A mother always knows."
"I don't see the reason why. You're technically the same age, he's just got you beat by a year." Matsu said
"Six. We were both twelve in appearance before his recent update," Roll corrected.
"Appearance isn't what matters. It's how long you've been alive. If a Sekirei was my age and the size of Kusano, would you be that disgusted?" Matsu asked, "NetNavis and humans with obsessed with appearances,I'll never understand. Okay, last chance to back out. 3….2….1…"
"Wait. What if it hu…"
"0!" Matsu said pressing the button.
"AHHH!"
"Oh my!" Aphrodite freaked, "Matsu, cancel it! Cancel it right now!"
"Don't!" Roll snapped as the keyboard blew up...along with all the monitors in the room.
"Ah! My computers!" Matsu comically freaked.
"I'll buy you new ones with Lan's rent," Aphrodite sighed
"...i'm good now." Matsu said
"Okay," Aphrodite nodded before grabbing Matsu and bringing her face to hers, "Now what happened to my baby girl?!"
"I...think a bug got into the systems just as I pressed the enter key," Matsu admitted and soon the screaming stopped as a pink light buzz into the copyroid hooked up to the computer. "...Aphrodite...I think there's nothing to worry about."
"...Matsu, I am going to throttle you," Aphrodite stated once Roll was finished loading into the Copyroid...before it short-circuited seconds later.
"Don't...she did alright," Roll's voice spoke from the laptop, "...Sorry about the Copyroid."
"...Matsu? What bug got into the upgrade?"
"Let me check," Matsu informed as she took out her last remaining device with a screen (her tablet) and connected it to the laptop, "...A bird one."
"A bird?"
"I think? A phoenix, maybe? Probably an eagle?"
"Just shut up and get me a stronger CopyRoid. I need to find Hubby to help her if my guess is right," Aphrodite sighed as she walked out.
"Right. And I'll try to figure out what this virus was," Matsu informed, using her Sekirei powers to cut the laptop from all other sources of the network. "...why is she purring?"
"Hub! Hub, are you out here?" Aphrodite asked as she poked her head out of the back entrance to see Yashima playing go fish with Kusano...and losing badly.
"Your poker face is strong." Yashima told Ku who was wearing shades.
"Daddy taught Ku well."
"Dearies, where did Hub go?" Aphrodite asked.
"He suddenly grew a tail and sparks started coming off him."
"Really?" Aphordite asked, "Which way did he go?"
"That way," both pointed to the other end of the large backyard, where Hub was currently sticking his head in the ground.
"Ah," Aphrodite nodded as she walked over to him, "Any reason why you're doing this?"
"Grr."
"Ah. Your furry little problem is trying to come out?" Aphrodite asked, earning a confirming noise from him, "Yeah...Blame Matsu for that."
"Don't blame me for anything!" Matsu called from a speaker in Hub's Copyroid.
"Not her fault," Hub said, "Probably attracted that thing anyway myself."
"What thing?"
"The feathery little problem I also had but got rid of," Hub replied.
"...Once again, this is Matsu's fault," Aphrodite stated as she picked Hub up, "And right now, I need your assistance with that fault."
"Grr?" he purred.
"My daugher is in trouble, Hub," Aphrodite stated.
"Oh, so everyday problem?"
"...Hub, this issue could result in her permanent deletion since she has no backup data."
"Okay, serious!" Hub's eyes widened.
"...She's been purring more and more as he got closer?" Aphrodite asked.
"Yep," Matsu nodded, "I've separated the laptop's network from all others," she then walked over to Aphrodite and whispered, "I think she's in heat."
"...Fix this, Matsu, fix this immediately," Aphrodite growled, making Matsu sweat heavily.
"C-C-C-Can't."
"She really can't." Hub informed, "If it was that easy, my furry little problem would be gone by now."
"No, it's not like your case, Hub-tan," Matsu replied, "It...mixed with the update we gave her."
"Let me go in there and see for myself."
"...Okay…" Matsu gulped as she had the Jack-In Port unlocked, letting Hub enter the net.
"Did you tell anyone?"
"Nope. I'll keep everyone distracted from asking."
"Roll?" Hub asked as he looked around the damaged network, "Man...This place looks a lot worse than when I went nuts the first few times Lan and I were trying to master Beast Out."
"This is strange...not used to having legs...and arms."
"Roll?" he blinked.
"Over here," a voice replied, sounding like Roll's but more mature than her normal voice.
Hub turned to his left and blinked twice. Looking over herself was Roll, the pupils of her eyes flashing back and forth between hearts and feathers even few seconds. What had once been a 4' 8" pink NetNavi was now a 6' 9" NetNavi. A pair of chibi angel wings flittered on her exposed back near the shoulder areas, a phoenix head-like guard now affixed on the left shoulder and a rabbit-themed guard on the right. A fire-colored rabbit tail twitched just above her ample, firm and round behind, the camel toe made by the tightness of her black and dark-pink bodysuit hidden behind a skirt designed like feathers. Her bow and helmet were gone, letting the flowing blond locks be free, multitudes of red and orange highlights in various shades decorating the freed hair. One of her long rabbit ears (reaching down to the middle of her back if she let them) was going straight down while the other was up and flopped down a little. Over the back of her hands were handless gauntlets themed after pink and black rabbits while her knees and lower legs were covered in a deep red and gold armor resembling phoenixes, her slender hands covered in pure white gloves while her toes were exposed to reveal the nails had become sharp talons, an extra talon emerging from the backs of her combat boot-like sandals that were connected to the phoenix-themed leg armor. Her NaviMark, the orange/yellow part of it now sporting a familiar wing-shaped crest to it that Hub quickly recognized, was firmly situated on a hot pink cloth around her neck, straps on it connecting into the shoulder armor. He tried not to look at her chest area This was due to the bodysuit not covering anything past the upper half of her large bosom, giving him a good view of her cleavage and the blue chain that went into it from the collar on her neck.
"Are you okay?"
"I… don't know…" Roll replied before the hearts changed to feathers again, her voice deepening a bit when she continued, "This is rather...unusual, truly."
"Listen; if you're who I think you are...you got mixed up with update data."
"I...did?" Roll questioned as hearts came back, "Hub...I'm scared."
"I was, too…" Hub explained before looking her over, "Okay, I'll admit. This is a bit different, but the solution is the same."
"Solution?" Roll's eyes changed to feathers again, "You mean to seal me away? As you did with the brute?"
"Why do you care? You were trying to kill him," Hub pointed out, "Besides…" he said as his symbol changed to a six-pointed star, "I kinda like it in here."
"Huh?" the hearts came back briefly, "So...the brute shows himself."
"Heh…let me tell you my story."
"It looks like the seal's breaking."
"Clearly!" Megaman said, holding up his hand that was replaced with Gregar's actual one, "How are we gonna fix this?!"
"The best I can think of in a rush is to have you go into standby mode and rework the seal to make it more durable," Yuchiro replied, "Though, if you did that, you might be able to mentally fight against the Cybeast."
"...Fine," Megaman sighed, lying down.
"Whoa...this is my head?" he blinked, seeing various pictures of his past battles and moments with his family and friends on the walls of the museum he was standing in.
"Rrrrrr…"
"What the…" he blinked, seeing the Cybeast with scars over it's body chained to the floor.
"Rrrrr…" Gregar growled as it struggled with the chain.
"...umm? H-Hey, boy, want a bone?"
"RRRRRRR!" Gregar snarled at Megaman.
"Okay! Okay! No bone," Megaman said as it looked away from him, "Someone's angry."
"Rrrrr…" Gregar huffed as it curled up, facing away from the NetNavi.
"Ahh, don't be angry," a voice said as Roll in a casual outfit walked up to Gregar with food, which Gregar began to eat eagerly.
"What the…? R-Roll?" Megaman asked.
"Mmm...Yes and no," Roll replied, "More like the piece of her that's in you from our first time."
Megaman blushed, "W-What?!"
"Our first time using Double Soul," Roll pointed out, "I know we haven't had sex yet. Don't have the update for that yet."
"...weird conversation…" he groaned
"Besides, I have to deal with watching your dreams of ecchi Roll." Megaman blushed at Roll's statement, "Yes, you have a dirty mind with those dreams, mister." she scolded with a giggle, "Oh, and there's fox Roll now mopping the floor."
"What the…?!" Megaman turned, seeing no one.
"Tehehehe…"
"Very funny," Megaman deadpanned at her.
"So what are you in here for? This isn't your normal bedtime," she pondered, petting Gregar.
"Blame him," Megaman pointed at the Cybeast.
Gregar snorted, "Rrrrrr."
"Ahh...you just wanted out, didn't you? You don't like not beasting out for months." she cooed.
"Wait. It's because we haven't used Beast Out for the last two months that he's been breaking the seal?" Megaman asked, "I thought he wanted to kill me."
"No. He respects your strength."
Gregar snorted at that.
"...After a few months of wanting to kill you, your family, and anyone you were associated with at the time of his escape...even me."
"Rarrr."
"Oh, you didn't? Are you trying to just say that to butter me up?"
Gregar snorted.
"Well, when your only company in here's a piece of another's soul, I guess it makes sense," Roll noted, "Still...that was kinda rude eating all the others like that." Gregar made a retching noise, "Saying that doesn't excuse you for killing the other Double Souls' mental forms in here."
"S...So let me get this straight: Gregar doesn't want to eat me? He just wants to go out at times in Beast Out?" Megaman asked, trying to understand, "And he doesn't want to destroy everything and kill everyone for no reason?"
"No, he still pretty much likes to be fight-happy, but the rest is true," Roll shrugged.
"So can we make any kind of deal here?"
"Rrrrrr…"
"He says 'Oh, so now you want to make a deal,'" Roll noted.
"You understand the Cybeast?"
"Yes. I understand him," Roll replied, "When your only company outside of dreams is a giant wolf after it eats the mental images of all the other Double Souls you have, you either learn the language or go nuts." she shrugged, "Now here are his conditions."
"Condition? We just…"
"He was waiting for this day for a long while," Roll replied, putting on a pair of reading glasses and took out a piece of paper, "Anyways, here are his conditions." she cleared her throat, "..."
"Rrr."
"Huh?" Roll blinked, looking at Gregar, "You want to tell him?"
"Rrrrrrr…"
"Okay?" Roll blinked twice. "He asked for you to remove the chain on his mouth."
"...Okay?" Megaman said, removing it as Gregar howled and started...to shrink.
"This is new," Roll noted as Gregar's form slimmed out, changing to a more humanoid form at around eight feet in height.
"Rrrrrrrmmmm…" Gregar stretched as bit his head reshaped into its Beast Out one with a woman's face instead of Megaman's while her figure filled out, "...Finally. That chain was murder on my mouth."
"YOU'RE A GIRL?!" the two shouted in disbelief.
"Did you believe I was a guy just because of my father's choice of my design?" Gregar asked.
"I thought you were made from a mass of bugs?" Megaman noted as Roll fainted from the shock.
"Well, no matter...so boy...or are you my king? Ah well, let's determine that now," Gregar smirked as she bent down to look him in the face; she then licked him.
"?!" Megaman stumbled back a bit from the lick, her saliva completely covering his head down to just an inch past the shoulders.
"This is your head. Control your appearance."
"What do you mean?" Megaman blushed.
"Think and it'll happen. How old are you supposed to be?"
"Fifteen," Megaman replied.
"Uh-huh. And how would you think you'd look if you were fifteen if you NetNavis could age like a human?"
"Well...I think I'd pretty much look like Lan does, considering were twins," he replied before he was suddenly a dead ringer for Lan with his normal hairstyle.
"Look at your reflection," Gregar pointed at a full-body mirror.
"What?" Megaman asked as he turned to see his reflection, "What the…?!"
"I can also be affected, but I do choose to be what you look like, hence why I have this girls' face. You are comfortable talking to her."
"Oh, so that's why you have Roll's face and voice."
"...I was going with her maternal conceiver, but that works just as well," Gregar shrugged, "So here's the deal: you Beast Out and stay like that until I'm satisfied."
"But I'll destroy everything."
"I don't care," she shrugged, "I'm an animal, I need to be wild! And I need to eat that bird bitch."
"What did Falzar do to you?" he couldn't help but ask to settle his curiosity.
"She got in my way of tearing things apart to show my dominance as the apex predator!" Gregar growled, "And that snooty regal attitude of hers! 'Queen of the Skies' my hind leg! I'm the King of the Land!"
"But you're a girl…"
"I'll bite your pecker off."
"Shutting up."
"I need to rampage, dammit! I am an alpha! I have needs, too, ya know!"
"I am sure we can settle this without rampaging."
"...you really want me to calm down without rampaging?"
"Yes."
"Okay," Gregar shrugged before lying down on her side.
"Oh thank goodness... Handshake?" Megaman asked as she shook his hand.
"Now...you agreed to the other method of venting: my needs."
"What?" Megaman blinked.
"I'm an animal. What needs besides eating and fighting do you think we have?"
"WHAT?!"
"Don't worry. It's a dream so...it won't count."
"Since than, I've gotten to know him. He ain't so bad, but seems you've gotten a little different."
The hearts in Roll's eyes accompanied the eye twitched, "You've been sleeping with him?!" feathers replaced the hearts, "You've been mating with your captor? My, my, how simplistic of you as always, brute."
"It's not so bad. Besides, I kinda settled down...for the most part. You can, too."
Falzar rolled her eyes, "Well, it seems that we are different yet again. Considering you are stuck in him while I…" feathers turned to hearts, "...she's kinda fused to me instead of somewhat sealed."
"Then you need a common reason to accept the fusion."
"Um...Which one of you said that?" Roll asked before Falzar spoke, "You two using the same voice is not helping matters."
"No, we're both in agreement."
"Who said that one?" Roll asked.
"Fine...you really want to know which of us is talking?" Gregar asked, "You want it to be easy?"
"Yes, please," Roll nodded as Falzar took over, "If we must."
"Fine. She asked." Gregar said as Hub's body changed...into a more feminine shape.
"WHAT?!" Roll and Falzar freaked, the feathers and hearts in both eyes at that.
"What? You asked," Gregar purred.
"I wasn't expecting you to turn him into a girl!"
"Me neither," Hub pointed out.
"He's upgraded since then."
"What is wrong with you?!"
"For one, she likes to be called King of the Land," Hub noted, "Two, when she's not fighting she's...horny. But like she said, settled down mostly"
"C'mon, Falzar, why did you even come here? Were you really eager to settle things with me?" Gregar asked.
"I was made for the purpose of stopping you from rampaging," Falzar replied, the feathers in her eyes all alone, "You know that."
"I think you just never went through with it because you needed me and I needed you. We brought excitement into each other's lives."
"We ended up leveling areas of the network, slaughtering thousands!" Falzar scowled.
"Oh, your new body is really affecting you. You never gave a shit before."
"...This other half of me...the one that's more dominant in our fusion," Falzar noted as she looked at her hands, "...My head feels clearer thanks to her...and I regret each death my attacks that didn't slay you caused."
"Ahh," Gregar noted before hugging her to her chest, "There, there."
"RELEASE ME!" Flazar snapped, pushing her away, "We're enemies and I will achieve my goal of stopping you from destroying the network, even if you are sealed away."
"I gave that up forever ago." Gregar informed.
Roll frowned, "I don't think it's that easy for Falzar. That's her only program in her: 'destroy Gregar; protect the network.'"
"If I wanted, I could've killed you both right there." Gregar informed.
"It's true. I have no control right now," Hub informed.
"It will take more than that, land dweller," Falzar growled, taking flight.
"Okay," she said, taking Roll's leg and slamming her into the ground and stomping on her, "You stay and talk to me."
"THERE IS NO TALKING! ONLY YOUR DELETION!" Falzar snapped before swinging an arm, blasting Gregar off her and letting her take to the skies.
"Roll," Gregar said as Falzar paused in her attack, "Do you want to leave and let Hub go after Meddy?"
"Oh please," Falzar huffed, "I've seen the memories about her. She's just a cheater using another girl's body to entice."
"Then if you leave, she belongs to Hub and Roll won't ever cuddle with him again."
'No way!' Roll barked.
'What are you doing?' Falzar questioned.
'We stay with Hub! He's ours!'
'We need to kill Gregar!'
The two let out a screeched as they grabbed their head, falling out of sky. Their eyes kept shifting between both shapes as her right arm kept shifting back and forth between their hand/lower arm and a blaster shaped like a phoenix's wings.
'Why do you want to delete her? She's the only thing you have to a friend, and even if you did, what then?'
'She is not a friend! She is a freak! A complete accident that was never meant to be!' Falzar argued, 'I was made intentionally! Meant to kill her and then be a protector for my native network!'
'...We were told you were gonna be deleted right afterwards.'
'...What?'
'Just look at my memories of what Lan and Hub told Maylu and I,' Roll offered.
'...' they stood up slowly, their arm finally settling on its normal state, "..." they trembled after a few minutes.
'Y...You're lying! My creator...my creator would never have let that happen to me! It was his goal that I would be the one who would protect our home from the weakling viruses!' Falzar argued.
'It was his idea...not his supporters, I bet.'
'I was made to protect our network from bugs! Issues created by viruses like that land dweller!'
'Does she ever lie?'
'...How should I know?! I've never once understood those idiotic roars of hers! I always thought she was a pathetic land dweller, never a she!''
'But now you can talk to her. So get this straight; she's in Hub, our Hub. If you hurt them...I'll delete us.'
'...You would allow that land dweller to continue on?!'
'I have no backup data, either,' Roll added, determination in mental voice, 'Even...even if it means I can't be with Hub...if it protect him, then I'll do it.'
'...I don't understand!'
'Then let me show you why,' Roll said, getting up and walking over to Gregar Beast Out, "Can you do what he can do?"
"Uh...Yeah? What do you mean, exactly?"
"Okay, that's all I needed to check," Roll said before kissing the gender flipped Megaman.
'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!' Falzar freaked as, inside she was held gently by Megaman and various versions of him started to kiss her, '?!' what is this?'
'My love...Sorry if it gets overwhelming.' Roll said, enjoying the kiss.
'Ooh...Now I get why you like kissing her,' Gregar thought.
'Oi! D-Don't kiss her!' Hub barked, 'She's my girlfriend!'
'I'm part of you, so technically she's our girlfriend, so it's not cheating.'
'Dang it, Gregar!' Hub snapped. before the Roll Soul inside him glomped him, '...I'll get back to you on it.'
"They've been quiet for a while." Aphrodite said in worry.
"Aphrodite-sama...could you not point a taser at me?" Matsu asked, tied up.
"Not until we get confirmation or something," Aphrodite replied before Hub entered the Copyroid, "Oh thank goodness! Is my baby okay, Hub?"
"It's fine, grrr," he spoke in a female voice.
"..." Matsu blinked owlishly.
"..." Aphrodite blinked twice.
"How do I change this? He says since I did a good job, I can have the day in control."
"...Gregar?" Aphrodite asked.
"Yep. King of the Land," Gregar smirked.
"...And how is my daughter?"
"Perfectly fine," Gregar replied, "Though...I think we tuckered her out from just kissing. Take the time to find a stronger Copyroid. something tells me you're gonna love the new and improved Roll."
"..." they both just looked at each other at that.
"Hmm." Lan said, reading via some glasses, "This will not be easy."
"Lan-sama?" Musubi asked, knocking on the door.
"Busy at the moment," Lan replied before she entered.
"Musubi knocked before entering, allowing you to know she was coming." Musubi smiled, holding a tray of curry. "Handmade curry for my Ashikabi."
"Thanks, Musubi," Lan nodded, still looking at the textbook before she turned him around to look at her.
"Lan-sama will hurt his brain muscles if he focuses too much."
"I'm just studying, Musubi. I want to do good in my classes next month is aaaare you wearing a maid's dress?" Lan blinked twice, looking at Musubi who was indeed wearing a white and red maid's outfit, the top of her breasts exposed and the skirt a bit shorter than normal.
"Musubi is your servant today!"
"...Did sis have you wear that? "
"No. Uzume-nee gave it to me!" Musubi beamed. "But serving you was Akitsu-nee's idea."
"Akitsu?"
"Ah…" a pause as Akitsu walked in, wearing the same outfit, but with her chain still on and the red replaced with an ice-blue, "...master."
Lan facepalmed, "Of course…"
"Ah….Musubi first...be back an hour later." Akitsu said running off and land saw she wore no panties whatsoever.
"Akitsu! Where are your panties?!" Lan blushed.
"Ah…" a pause, "...forgot."
"Ahh!" Lan groaned before Musubi straddled him. "Musubi?!"
"Matsu said this makes males relax." Musubi smiled.
'No, this does the opposite!' Lan thought with a blush, his reading glasses fogging up as he got a perfect view into her cleavage, "M-Musubi, please, I...I need to do some studying, okay? And...And I don't think I can eat like this…"
"Musubi isn't leaving the plate for you silly."
"Huh?"
"Musubi is feeding you,"
"E-Excuse me?" Lan's voice cracked a bit as his blush grew stronger.
"Hai." Musubi saId taking out a spoon. "Now study. Musubi will feed her master."
Lan gulped. Slowly, he managed to get his book open to where he had been and started reading it again.
"If you take your eye off the book, Aphrodite-nee said to punish you." Musubi informed.
"Wait, why didn't she stop you?"
"She said…."
"You'll be training him to handle distractions."
"...Of course," Lan sighed before getting slapped again.
"Gomen, you have to focus and be fed. If you don't, I'm supposed to slap you."
"Slap?" Lan asked, looking away from the textbook.
*SMACK*
"Ow…" Lan cringed at the pain he now had on the back of his head.
"Focus, Lan-sama~" Musubi smiled, putting a spoon in his mouth.
Lan's eyes widened at the taste of the curry. It was actually quite good. A lot better then at Curry-chan. He turned to ask Musubi, but...
*SMACK*
"Gomen, Lan-sama," Musubi apologized as Lan rubbed the back of his head again from where she slapped, "Focus and then Musubi can reward you!"
'Reward?!' Lan thought, getting a bad feeling about this as he continued to read the textbook.
"Let me out please?" Roll's voice asked.
"We got that copyroid yet?"
"Almost...there." Matsu smiled, pulling up a copyroid, "New, stronger, and tougher metal, made out of vibranium."
"That's a fictional metal, Matsu."
"Whoops. My mistake," Matsu chuckled sheepishly as she looked at another, "Well, at least it's boomstick approve."
"Matsu…"
"Checking another one," Matsu sighed, "Hmm...This one's more durable than the last ones and holds 3 TB of data instead of the usual 90 GB."
"Excellent! Express order it."
"Already ordered," Matsu nodded before hearing a doorbell ring and they looked to see a delivery van. "Wow...they are literal about express."
Aphrodite ran out and opened the gate, "Yes?"
"I have your order for the pipes," the deliveryman informed.
"...Pipes?" Aphrodite blinked twice.
"Yes. The pipes you requested for a hot spring," the man replied, "Sign here, please."
"Oh! Oh, yes I forgot I had those ordered," Aphrodite chuckled as she signed her name.
"How much longer?" Roll asked.
"Express will take...three hours," Matsu informed.
"Dammit."
"Reward time, Lan-sama!" Musubi beamed as he swallowed the last of the food at the same time he finished reading the chapter.
'Thank goodness,' Lan thought, 'I got hit three more times because of that good curry.'
"Now than...mmm…" Musubi tilted her head, "What was the reward that Musubi is supposed to do again?"
Lan shrugged, "I don't know, Musubi." 'Please let it be something simple…'
"Ahh...bathtime with Musubi."
"..." '...What?'
"Lan-sama, you're really sweaty," Musubi noted, putting her forehead against his as he blushed, "You're really hot, too." she then lifted him up, "And no objections."
"B-But…" Lan stammered, 'Why is she so strong?!'
"No buts!" Musubi wagged a finger as she walked out, carrying him.
'I feel like a kid…' Lan sweatdropped. 'I gotta do something about this.'
"Musubi is glad to have an Ashikabi like Lan-sama," Musubi noted, making Lan look at her, "Lan-sama's really nice and dedicated when he sets his mind to something."
"...thanks."
"It's why I love Lan-sama," Musubi smiled lovingly at him, earning a harder blush from him.
"...Musubi...what do you want to do? Even if you beat all the Sekireis, what will you do then?"
"Mmm...I want to be with Lan-sama and help the other Sekirei find their Ashikabi," Musubi replied, "And with Lan-sama, Musubi can do it!"
"Musubi…" Lan whispered before she dropped him and started stripping, "What are you doing?!"
"We're in the bath," Musubi replied as she first took her panties off.
"Eh?!" Lan gawked, looking around to see they were in the changing room for the bath.
"Uh-huh!" Musubi nodded as she took her leggings off next, "Musubi said she'd give Lan-sama a bath as a reward."
"M-Musubi?!"
"And Musubi will do her best!" Musubi beamed, pumping a fist with her maid's hat in her free hand.
"...uh oh," Lan gulped, but still began to take his clothes off, knowing it'd probably be futile anyway.
"Oohh! Lan-sama has willingly undress for once."
"Well, you'd probably just get me undressed anyway, Musubi," Lan shrugged, trying not to look at the now-nude Fist-type.
"Does Lan-sama not like me?" she asked.
"W-ha-Wha-what? Why would you ask that?" Lan asked.
"You...You're not looking at me," Musubi replied, "Ah! Did I forget about modesty again? Wait, you're supposed to be modest in the bath?"
"Musubi...I...I'm just shy, is all."
"Shy?" Musubi tilted her head.
"Yeah," Lan nodded, "I...Until that first bath here, I...I've never really seen a girl completely nude in person, let alone two at one time."
"Musubi understands." Musubi smile, turning him around, "Musubi just feels even more comfortable around Lan-sama. And so do the others. We all love Lan-sama very much."
"H...How can you say that so easily?" Lan asked, "I mean...We only knew each other for a day and...And why me? I'm not really all that special."
"Lan-sama sells himself short," Musubi shook her head, putting his hand over her heart...unintentionally putting his hand on her breasts, "Lan-sama has a really strong heart. He thinks more about others and does his best in everything he gets into. And, most importantly, he never runs away or gives up. Do you feel how strong Musubi heart beats?"
"Y-Yes…" Lan blushed heavily.
"Musubi will love Lan-sama forever. Even if Lan-sama does not think Musubi deserves it, Musubi will give everything for her Ashikabi," she said before kissing him, her wings forming.
"Stop eating raw meat!" Hub complained.
'Why? It's good stuff,' Gregar argued.
"I DON'T WANT TAPE WORMS!" Hub barked.
"Oh, Hub-tan...or Gregar-tan? Whoever's driving. Someone wants to see you," Matsu informed, "Come on in, Roll-tan."
The kitchen door opened and Roll walked in, her outfit replaced with a soft-pink yukata with heart designs on it, a pair of holes cut out of the back for her small wings to come out.
'...'
Gregar wiped the blood that fell from Hub's nose so it wouldn't touch her raw meat, "Heh. Not bad. We approve...so who won? Are you Falzar or Roll?"
"Both...and neither," Roll replied, showing the white in her pupil had changed to resemble a feather and a heart in shape.
"So do you love us," she started, referring to herself and Hub, "Or gonna kill us?"
'What?!'
"Not exactly...While neither of us really liked you, Gregar, we both agreed that we care for Hub-kun," Roll replied, "And I don't want to lose what Hub-kun and I have, even if it means sharing with others."
"Boo. I'm here, too. I count as part of him," she sighed before smirking, changing into a female Hub with his features and not hers, "See?"
"The hell?" Matsu gawked.
"I hate you, Gregar," Hub groaned.
"This is confusing," Roll sighed before hugging Hub, "But...I don't mind. Hub-kun is Hub-kun."
'I'll take that.' Gregar said, turning Hub back into a full on male.
"Are you sure you're okay, Roll-tan?" Matsu asked.
"Yes. I'll be okay, Matsu," Roll assured, keeping a hand in Hub's, "But some rules need to be established with my...competition and fellow flock member."
'Why do I get the feeling this won't end well?' Hub asked.
"Tadaima…" Maylu's voice groaned out, "None of us could find another job at the moment."
"Oh! Maylu!" Roll gasped. "I was not prepared to show her the new me."
"It'll be okay, Roll," Hub assured, "...I think. You know Maylu better than anyone else in here...probably even better than Aphrodite."
Roll nodded before taking in a deep breath and slowly exhaling, "Maylu?"
"Huh? Roll?" Maylu pondered as she entered the kitchen, "Roll?!"
"H...Hi," Roll greeted, "H-How are you?"
"H-How am I? Roll, w...What happened?" Maylu asked, moving over as looking up at the taller NetNavi in concern, "You're a foot taller than me now."
"...A long story?"
"Matsu did it," Hub stated.
"Mou...Hub-tan's a meanie," Matsu childishly pouted. "Oh! I gotta go! It's my turn."
"What?" Maylu blinked twice as they watched her run off.
"...that Musubi... She sure has some dream." Lan smiled while in a robe, contently feeling closer to his first Sekirei.
"Time to study, Lan-tan~"
"Matsu?" Lan questioned, fully opening his bedroom door. "..."
"I prepared all the tests you may or may not be taking," Matsu greeted, sitting in his swivel chair at his desk.
"R-Really?"
"Of course. You're trying to get into a hard field, Lan-tan, so I want you to give it your best," Matsu informed, adjusting her glasses, "For every wrong answer, I strip."
"Wh-What?" Lan asked.
"Why do you think I'm wearing some extra clothes?" Matsu questioned, showing she was wearing one of Lan's shirts, a spare vest, and a white bandana with a poor drawing of his face as a chibi on it on her head, "Now, go!"
"W-What?!" Lan blinked.
"...Oh yeah…" Matsu blinked twice before getting up and getting into Lan's lap once he sat down, "There we go. Ufufufufufu."
"He's been studying all day?" Maylu blinked, surprised.
"Barely left the room," Uzume replied as she measured Roll's waist, the three in her room to get Roll's new measurements, "Musubi went to see him, then she came back and told me Lan and her were going out on a date."
"What?!" Maylu gawked, earning a snicker from Uzume.
"Nah. I'm just teasing you on the date thing," Uzume smirked, "...or am I?"
"...grr..."
"Maylu, the tsundere thing is cute, but being a childhood friend does not mean you've got an advantage," Uzume informed.
"Easy now, Maylu," Roll assured, moving from Uzume to hold Maylu's hands, "Look at me and take deep breaths." Maylu inhaled deeply before slowly exhaling, her eyes focused on Roll's, "That's it...Keep doing it."
"Aphrodite, where are you?" Matsu demanded, coming in wearing Lan's clothes.
Uzume groaned.
"...This won't end well," Roll noted.
"Okay, we have the foundation all settled and they found a water source," Aphrodite, wearing a construction uniform, noted while going over plans with the new tenant, "So far, so good."
"There you are!" Matsu said, coming up to her beaten up.
"Matsu, what happen to you…" she began before showing her some papers. "yes these are all As, so why…"
"They're all Lan's and he got them done in half an hour."
"...Told you he's a smart boy," Aphrodite giggled, "You just need to motivate him right. I remember when he wanted to go see this movie, and the only way I would take him was if he got straight As. He got 'em and we saw it."
"But all his grades were some of the lowest in his previous schools."
"He doesn't do well under pressure or time. Hub-kun had to tell him all the time to do his homeworks," she noted, "Well, I guess that's the only thing he got straight As on when I motivated him."
"He needs to get that genius under control if he wants his goals achieved."
"Indeed."
"Oh my," the new tenant gasped as she looked at the injuries, "Are you okay?"
"Used to this, this is a love tap. Compared to my old bosses."
"So what does this mean?" Kusano asked, studying with Lan.
'Thank god the normal one is actually helping me study,' Lan thought, "Well, Ku-chan, that's a command line. On a computer, you type what you want to happen in it. Though it's really long and complicated for some basic stuff."
"Ku will study hard."
"Why do you want to study?"
"Because Onii-chan is," Kusano replied with a smile.
"So you want to study...because I am?"
"Mm-hm!" Kusano nodded.
"Why?"
"Ku isn't ready to be a lady and a good wife, so she wants to spend time with onii-chan before she becomes his wife."
Lan spluttered at that with wide eyes, "O-Okay! What the…?! Whoo! Hoo boy! Okay, I think I studied too much today, then. How about a game?"
"Does onii-chan not like Ku?" she whimpered.
"What?! No, no, no, no, no, no," Lan assured, hugging her, "Ku-chan's a great girl. I'm guess I'm a bit too tired of studying."
"...Ku know she's not like nee-chan or kaa-san's sizes yet...but she really loves you."
Lan nodded, "I love you, too, Ku-chan. You're a great little sister and you must make Nee-chan proud of you being her daughter."
"That's enough for Ku...and she'll protect onii-chan. Even if she is defeated, she'll love you," Kusano smiled, "And someday she hopes you'll accept her as your wife along with auntie and the others."
"...What did your dad teach you?" Lan groaned as the door was forced open and Lan saw Aphrodite. "Uh oh. I didn't do anything, I swear!"
"Oh, there you are, Kuu-chan," Aphrodite sighed in relief, "Are you all done studying today, Lanny?"
"Yeah," Lan replied, "I still got one more thing to cover, though. But I can wait until tomorrow."
"Kusano, come on. Lan has one more book to cover before he can play."
"What? I just said it could…"
"One more book," she repeated, a menacing aura around her.
"Ulp!" the two squeaked, hugging each other, "H-Hai!"
"Now come, Ku-chan. Pedo-Lan needs to study alone."
"Oh come on!"
"Next time, keep the door open." she told him as Kusano took her and close the door.
"Kaa-san, when am I going to be as big as you?" Kusano asked.
"In time, sweetie," Aphrodite assured, bending down to kiss her forehead, "In time."
"But I wanna be in a wedding dress soon," she frowned.
"Ah, to be young again," Aphrodite giggled, "You haven't seen your Nee-chan at all today, have you?"
"No," Kusano shook her head.
"She had her growth spurt and is a big lady now. Wanna see?"
"Uh-huh!" Kusano nodded.
"Okay...anatomy," Lan read, "Damn it. Being a doctor means learning about medical stuff as well." he groaned, remember the recommended classes he was given, "How do I…" he said feeling a cold. "...hi, Akitsu."
"Ah…" a pause as she settled into his lap, "...my turn."
"Yeah," Lan nodded, "I'm studying up on my last subject, now."
"...Anatomy."
"Yeah, I know it's…"
"Ah...subject." she smiled as she took her stockings off, "Body."
"...Hoo boy," Lan gulped, "N-n-n-now, Akitsu, hold on there." Akitsu stopped, "Could you, well, not do that for now?"
"ah...not good...Musubi...better?" she sighed.
"What?! N-no," Lan shook his head, "Look, it...it's just that...I'm really nervous I might pass out if you do that."
"...ahh...you didn't with Musubi."
"...damn it." he sighed, "Akitsu, why do you do this so willingly?"
"...Love."
"Love yet again, huh?" Lan noted, "Fourth time today."
"Akitsu...wants to be a good Sekirei...even if Scrapped, she...she wants to be useful." she cried.
Lan held her close, "I won't abandon you, Akitsu. You're always useful. You listen to the others, you're always there to keep an eye on things."
"Ah…" she sniffled
'Something about her just makes me really want to hold her and make her feel safe,' he thought while putting her head on his shoulder, "You're an amazing woman, Akitsu. Remember those kids at the park? They were all worried for you, too and they all asked me a few days after I met them if you were feeling better."
"...ah...with you...always."
"You're not broken, Akitsu. To me, you're not scrapped or useless or anything like that. Akitsu is Akitsu," Lan assured.
"...Ashikabi completes me," she said, pushing him on the bed, "...cuddle?"
"Yeah," Lan nodded, letting the maid-dressed Sekirei lay on him, his arms wrapping around her waist to hold her close.
"Definitely improve on handling Sekireis." Matsu said as she and Aphrodite watched this. "I think Akitsu's fragile personality and 'save me' vibe she's giving here really attracts hero boy Lan-tan."
"He just can't stand to see anyone cry," Aphrodite shook her head, smiling gently, "He's a good boy, even if he is a pedophile with my youngest daughter."
"Ufufufuffu…" Matsu snickered, "Anyway, Maylu is definitely losing."
"Sadly, I agree," Aphrodite sighed, "Though...I can't help but think that something's blocking her from just expressing how she really feels."
"Sounds like a mystery to be...wow. Did he just…?"
"Yes, he started the kiss again...okay. Private time," Aphrodite informed, turning the feed off.
"Aw~" Matsu whined.
"You know that at best it will just be cuddling and heavy petting. He's still not comfortable with reaching the last step yet," Aphrodite shrugged, "Frankly, I think he's trying to save that for something special."
"Well that's why I prepared this." Matsu said while holding up something.
"...I'll start making dresses," Aphrodite grinned, looking at the book labeled 'Sekirei Dating Plans.'
"So are you okay?" Hub asked Roll as they lied down. "Huh, we're almost equally the same size."
"I'm still three inches taller," Roll noted.
"So? I like tall girls."
"Good to hear," Roll giggled.
"...speaking of tall girls; where's Yashima?"
"Oh, she's keeping Meddy busy for tonight," Roll informed.
"...I want to know why you smiled and had glowing red eyes at that."
Roll giggled before pecking his forehead, "Don't worry. I just wanted you to myself for at least tonight and Yashima understood that."
"...Okay...so wanna break your new self in?" he grinned.
"So blunt," Roll giggled before kissing him, "But yes."
"You want to be on top?"
"For the first few times," Roll replied, "Love you, Hub-kun."
"I don't think I need to say it," he smiled, kissing her.
O.N: Well this was nice...but next time more rest….maybe more ecchi as Matsu puts her plan into action.
GT: And we got Roll an interesting upgrade and some interesting reveals. Was not expecting Gregar to be a girl.
O.N: so stereotypical. I mean just because it's an animal doesn't mean we assume it's a male, besides we'll let the readers complain.
GT: Right. Well, time to continue on with discussing the PeT Omega. *puts on nerdy glasses* To continue from last chapter, the CrossFusion. *shows Match using CrossFusion with the PeT Omega* Unlike the original versions, the PeT Omega has a miniature Dimensional Area Generator inside of it that activates on the first turn of the CrossEmblem. Turning it again creates the Neo-Transient Bodysuit for the user, which is more durable than the original one CrossFusion bestowed on the user. One the CrossEmblem is held over the heart, it attaches and forms the armor of the user to complete the CrossFusion. *taps the image of Match's three NetNavis and Fireman* Furthermore, multiple NetNavis can be used instead of just one, though the limit is three and they must have a close bond with you, such as the case of Match and his three NetNavis.
O.N: Well, I think it helps the second two were really pieces of torchman so technically you can count them as one so don't think theis will work all the time, but onwards.
GT: *nods* Because of the miniature Dimensional Area Generator in the PeT Omega, CrossFusion no longer requires a Dimensional Area to be sent by SciLab. Furthermore, access to the BattleChip Library is still in effect, so they can still use the data from their library for battles. Comparing the PeT Omega CrossFusion's stats to one who uses the original method shows that the PeT Omega CrossFusion has greater speed, durability, reflexes, and stamina than previous generations due it the PeT Omega's better processing power and data storage. Finally, we have a feature that none of the other CrossFusions had… *shows a clip of Fireman showing his glove and turning it 180 degrees*
=IT'S TIME~! HISSATSU WAZA: FIREMAN~! DELETION STRIKE!=
*copies of Heatman, Torchman, and Flameman appear in a plus formation with Fireman around a target. the four charge and jump into the air, Flameman and Heatman perform drop sledgehammers as Torchman and Fireman slammed their feet into the target, causing it to explode in flames*
GT: The Deletion Strike feature. Think of it as pouring in all the user's energy into one finishing blow. Just like the tune that plays in CrossFusion and the color and theme of the data, the Deletion Strike is unique for each CrossFusion. For Fireman, he uses the Inferno Bombardier, which summons his three NetNavis to perform a four-man strike on the enemy with the force of four wildfires condensed into four beings.
O.N: getting the marshmallows.
GT: Too late. *munches on the last of them*
O.N:...GAGHHHHHHHHH!
GT: Well, that's all the time we have today! *runs away* READ AND REVIEW WHILE I FLEE FOR MY LIFE! I REGRET NOTHING!
