A/N: Here is chapter 9 with Cancer Bubbler!
Chapter 9: Cancer Bubbler's Challenge
"Today is the grand opening of Big Wave, a shop where you can buy Battle Cards both normal and rare! So take it from me, Ken Suther, you will always find the best Battle Card to help you win against viruses! Cowabonga!"
Geo and his guests were watching TV till the commercial for Big Wave came up. It's been 2 days since Geo made his first BrotherBand with Sonia and he seems a bit happy that he made his first friend. But Mega and the Stelars' guests teased him that Sonia may be more than a friend.
"A shop that sells Battle Cards, eh?" Hikaru grinned. "I say we take a look!"
"Hmm…" Geo rubbed his chin. "It's a good idea, Geo. Besides, you got to be more prepared for stronger viruses and FM-ians." Shizuku suggested.
Geo thought about it for 50 seocnds then smiled. "I guess it couldn't hurt to check out what Ken Sulther has to offer." "So we're going?" Mega asked from Geo's Transer.
"You know it!" Mikoto grinned.
Geo and the gang were near Big Wave, surprisingly, the Neo Mews were there also. They saw the commercial and offer to help Geo pay for whatever Battle Card he may choose from their duo concert last night and Relt gave them 40 percent of their pay being the kind manager he is. Also, Geo got an email from Sonia and he received a Harp Note Mega Battle Card as a thank you for being her Brother.
The gang entered the shop and were amazed to find a huge collection of Battle Cards and some kids looking at them. There were also surfboards in the back.
"Wow…" Geo gasped in awe. "Look at all those Battle Cards." Natsuru nodded in agreement.
"Welcome to Big Wave, dudes!" A man said happily.
He is about 29 years old, has light yellow hair in a ponytail, wore a red and yellow shirt with the words Big Wave on it with a necklace, dark green shorts with yellow flipflops, a bracelet on his left arm and he wore sunglasses.
"Are you Ken Suther?" Geo asked politely. "Indeed I am, dude. So what brings you to my shop? I get it, you're here to buy the new Stun Knuckle and Blazing Edge Battle Cards! They're really powerful." Ken smiled.
"Hmm…." Geo was in thought. 'Hey kid, those might give us an edge in battle. So I say, buy them! Or ask Susie and her friends to buy them.' Mega told him in his mind. 'If you say so.' Geo nodded.
"Susie." Geo asked. "Can you buy those Battle Cards for me?" He asked politely. "Sure, Geo." Susie smiled.
"That will be 17000 Zenny, please." Ken smiled. Susie got out her Zenny and paid for it.
"Hey…" Ken began. "You're the Mew Lights, aren't you, dudettes? Like, I'm a huge fan of your music! Who knew you began starting your career and got ranked number 3 so fast. And great show performing a due let with Sonia Strumm!" Ken smiled.
"Ah shucks." Nikki rubbed the back of her head nervously. "We're pretty popular since the concert."
"Here ya go, dude." Ken gave Geo the Stun Knuckle and Blazing Edge Battle Cards as he heard a request from a kid and went into the back to get the Battle Card he requested.
"Hey you!" A tiny voice shouted. Geo blinked as he and the gang turned to see a young boy glaring at them.
The boy was about 7 years old, has purple red hair, wore a red hat with a symbol on it and two pointy points at the top, a red jacket, white clothes with a special design, and finally black shoes.
"M-Me?" Geo blinked. "Yes, you! I can feel it, you have a FM-ian partner, do you? And those people… They can see EM Beings and the Wave Road, right?" The boy grinned.
"Who are you?" Akane asked confusedly. "Name's Claud Pincer, I have a FM-ian like that boy over there!" Claud pointed at Geo.
"I challenge you to a Wave Battle!" He proclaimed. "Wave…Battle?" Geo asked confusedly. "Let me explain, kid. Wave Battling is a sport favored by Planet FM and another, it's where EM Beings battle each other to prove who's the best. Heh, this kid looks weak, so this will be over with soon. We accept the challenge!" Mega shouted.
"M-Mega!" Geo stammered. "Good! Meet me above the Big Wave shop. You're going down!" Claud grinned as he ran out the front door.
"Mega! What if Geo got hurt!" Linda gasped. "Geo's getting stronger every time he fights, so no need to get worried, Linda." Carrie assured her. "I hope I can do this…" Geo gulped as he head out the door and Wave Changed into MegaMan with no one looking.
MegaMan jumped into the Wave Road and looked around. "Over here!" A voice shouted.
MegaMan turned to see a humanoid red crab who is about the same height as Claud. Mega couldn't help but laughed at MegaMan's opponent.
"Are you Claud in Wave Form?" MegaMan asked. "Yep!" The crab nodded. "Name's Cancer Bubbler, the merged Wave Form of me and my partner, Cancer, snip snip!"
"Before we fight, how did Cancer became your partner?" MegaMan asked. "He was probably really lonely and the loneliness must have attracted Cancer and Cancer must have agreed to be that Claud kid's friend." Mega pointed.
"Laugh while you can, cause this form will kick your butt, snip snip!" Cancer Bubbler challenged. "Bring it, shorty!" Mega taunted.
A angry vein appeared on Cancer Bubbler's head. "Did you call me short! That's it! I won't show any mercy!"
Down below, The Neo Mews, Magic Knights and Kampfers were watching.
"That's Claud's Wave Form? He's a wimp!" Hikaru joked. "I don't know. Remember the saying, size doesn't matters?" Fuu warned.
"If that's the case, Geo and Mega could be in a tough fight." Rhonda nodded.
"Okay kid, say Wave Battle Set and finished it with Ride On!" Mega shouted.
"Um… Wave Battle Set!" MegaMan shouted. "Ride On!" Both MegaMan and Cancer Bubbler shouted.
MegaMan VS Cancer Bubbler Round 1
"Cancer Bubbles!" Cancer Bubbler shouted as he fired bubble shots from his claws, MegaMan dodged them. MegaMan fired Buster Shots at Cancer Bubbler for small damage "Ugh!" Cancer Bubbler growled as he charged at MegaMan and slashed him three times with his claws. "Let's try the new Battle Cards I got! Blazing Edge! Battle Card! Predation!" MegaMan shouted as he tossed up the Battle Card and Mega ate it and transformed into a blazing sword. "Awesome!" MegaMan gasped in awe as he charged at Cancer Bubbler and slashed him three times for bigger damage. "Wide Wave V1! Battle Card! Predation!" Cancer Bubbler shouted as he tossed up a Battle Card and his claw ate the card. Cancer Bubbler fired a tidal wave at MegaMan, hitting him for medium damage and his Blazing Edge reverted back to Mega. "Plasma Gun V1! Battle Card! Predation!" MegaMan shouted as he tossed up the Battle Card and Mega ate it and transformed into the Plasma Gun. MegaMan fired at Cancer Bubbler, giving him big damage! "Owowowowow!" Cancer Bubbler gawked as he was temporally stunned. "What just happened?" MegaMan blinked. "Every FM-ian and virus have a weakness to the four elements and Cancer Bubbler's weakness is electricity, good thinking, kid!" Mega commented. "Uh… thanks I guess. He's weaken by my Plasma Gun V1. So I better finish him off with a strong attack. Stun Knuckle! Battle Card! Predation!" MegaMan shouted as he tossed up the Battle Card and Mega ate it and transformed into a white fist. MegaMan charged at Cancer Bubbler. Cancer Bubbler's eyes widen as he shouted "Aw crud, snip snip!" As MegaMan punched Cancer Bubbler, he was knocked down and he lay on the ground, swirly eyes and all.
"Way to go, Geo!" Susie cheered. "M-My first Wave Battle and I won…" MegaMan sighed and smiled nervously. "Heh! How do you like us now!" Mega boasted.
Cancer Bubbler got up and stomped his feet. "No fair! No fair! You cheated, snip snip!" Cancer Bubbler shouted. "Hey!" Natsuru shouted from below. "Geo beat you fair and square! Just admit you lost!"
"This ain't over, snip snip! I will train even harder and get even more powerful Battle Cards to beat you, snip snip!" Cancer Bubbler continued to stomp his feet.
"Let's get out of here. That sore loser is getting on my nerves." Mega suggested. MegaMan meekly nodded and pulsed out.
Geo and his guests went home while the Neo Mews went back to their hotel.
MegaMan has won his first Wave Battle. Cancer Bubbler will come back to try to defeat MegaMan someday! But the next day will be a event that will change Geo…
