Does This Look Familiar?
As night fell, most of the group had called it a day and headed to bed-- except Aaron. Instead, he had stayed up in his room, working on a small project of his. It was near complete, appearing to by a metal diamond, filled with crystal and wires. It sparked slightly, causing him to chuckle lowly and quietly, as not to wake anyone up.
"There we go..... all done." He whispered, satisfied. Closing it while placing some of his own energy into it, it began to glow, the light slowly beginning to envelope the building, and even spreading beyond that. "With this, we will win...."
Netto slowly awoke hours later... and automatically knew something was wrong. For starters, his alarm clock should have woken him this morning, and he hadn't heard it at all. His uneasiness worsened as he opened his eyes. The room was different-- exactly like his old one, before he left home. He sat up slowly, a frown making creasing around his mouth as he stood slowly, looking out the window.
The sight before him was beatiful, yet terrifying at the same time. It was more like the country, unlike the suburbanized town they resided in. Large maple trees were on the lawn of fresh, green grass. The sky was a clear blue, as if all the polution of the earth was removed. Netto instantly recognized this terrain- which was why he was scared.
"Wh-what...?" He asked in a shaky voice, stepping back, away from the window. "Th-.... This can't be real. I must be dreaming..." He concluded, paling slightly as he looked down at his clothes. They were torn, and ragged. Almost as if he had survived a war... Frantically, he pinched his arm, causing him to cry out. It wasn't a dream...
"So you're up."
Netto instantly turned to the new voice. There stood Saito in the door way, looking casual. Except, he looked different. His usual grey hair was a navy blue, and his eyes were an emerald green. The only thing that hadn't changed was his white T-shirt and jeans. He seemed amused by Netto's expression.
"What's with the face? I'm not the one who fell from the sky... Human."
"Saito! What happened?! Why are we here?!" Netto asked, running over to him and grabbing him by his collar. "Where's Kaiton, Enzan and Aaron?!! Do you remember?! Saito!!!"
Saito narrowed his eyes, slapping his hands away. "Don't touch me... I don't know what you're talking about... and I'm Megaman, not 'Saito.'"
Netto fell to his knees, running his hands through his hair. "It can't be.... We were taken to the past... but... how....?" He asked quietly, shaking his head. He was literally shaking.
Saito raised an eyebrow.
"...Hmmph. Well, someone's crazy."
"Netto, come on already! It's a quarter past ten!" Enzan yelled, knocking on his door. There was a slight groan, followed by a few steps. Finally, the door opened, and 'Netto's' eyes widened.
"Chaud?! B-... But.... you.... You were killed in that war!!"
Enzan facepalmed, sighing. "Don't even start that... NewsFlash, Netto Hikari, the war didn't happen in this world...."
Netto blinked. "What?!! And stop calling me Netto, it's La-!!"
"Could. Someone. Please. Shut. Off. The. Damn. Racket." Saito stated in an aggrivated tone, walking up to the two. There were bags under his eyes. "Now what's this about war?"
Enzan crossed his arms. "Netto is thinking of 'that' war. The one that destroyed earth, and forced us to rebuild it?"
Saito snapped his fingers. "I remember that! Man, that was one trip back then..."
Netto frowned. "What... are you talking about? All I remember is going through a portal and ending up here..."
Enzan blinked, confused. Suddenly, realization hit, and he walked over to a wall and slammed his head against it. "Damn it all!!"
Saito tilted his head to the side. "Enzan...? What's wrong?"
Enzan turned around, scowling. "We've switched Nettos! Our Netto is stuck in the past, and this Netto is the past Netto!!"
Netto looked down. "So that's what it is..."
Saito nodded. "Yes.... and if we don't fix this...."
"We're screwed."
Saito, or 'Megaman' in this time period rubbed his temples in annoyance as Netto paced the room, eyes widened by shock, worry, and stress.
"We're doomed. We're all going to die. We're screwed. Completely, utterly screwed. We're done fo-"
"SHUT UP ALREADY!!!" Megaman yelled, red in the face. After calming down, he sat down, sighing. "Just shut up and let me think."
Netto nodded, only to hear a knok at the door. He instantly walked over to it, only to be shoved out of the way by Megaman. As Megaman opened the door, it turned out to be Roll.
Netto knew what was coming, and he covered his ears as Megaman said some choice words to her before slamming the door shut, growling. He sighed heavily, placing his head in his hands.
"I hate doing things over...."
