Geo's P.O.V
"Sonia!" I instinctively shouted. I stood there, like a statue, while Omega-xis was laughing his metaphorical butt off "How can you laugh at a time like this?" I questioned in disbelief. I rushed to her side and examined her body for any injuries. So far there were some bruises that were still darkening on her skin. She's pretty strong, so how did she get all those bruises? I should've been there to prevent that from happening. I mournfully picked her up and put her on my back to carry her. My stomach growled, loudly. I barely noticed it was nearing dinner-time "Where are we going to stay for the night?" I asked Omega-xis. I would stay in the net, but Sonia needs some medical help. Plus Sonia and I would probably starve to death. I mean, where are we going to get food in the net?
"Why don't you stay at Lan's house? He's the only person you know" Omega-xis suggested happily; probably at the prospect of more net-battles... He always likes to be in some sort of conflict, doesn't he? I sighed due to the predictability of Omega-xis's ulterior motive.
"I don't think that's such a good idea" I wouldn't want to impose... plus, if we stay at Lan's, it would be like being surrounded with two Omega-xis's
"Oh? Do you have a better plan?" Omega-xis asked starkly. He holds a good point... "Didn't think so" I then remembered something that I needed to talk to Omega-xis about.
"You mean like your plan to get us caught?" I retorted dryly.
"Hey, that was a force of habit!" Omega-xis protested.
Megaman E.X.E's P.O.V
I went back to tell Lan about my close shave and recent discovery, but when I got there he was arguing with Dad for some reason. From what I could decipher, it was something about Geo.
"Lan; why are you arguing with Dad for?" I asked, hoping to be heard over Lan's shouting.
"Oh, hey Megaman" Lan greeted calmly as he noticed my presence "And I'm arguing with Dad because he wants us to spy on Geo, Omega-xis and Rockman!" Lan answered my question loudly. Why would Dad tell us to do something like that? I decided to voice my questions.
"Why do you want us to follow them, Dad?" Maybe he has a good reason for it? And come to think of it, how does he know about Geo and Omega-xis in the first place?
"Omega-xis and Rockman are not on the Navi records-" Dad started off.
"Is that even possible?" I interrupted him. I thought the records picked up the trace data of every navi in existence?
"Not that I know of; this is why I want you to follow the navis. And this Geo has no legal records, like a birth certificate, or doctor records. In short, it's like he doesn't exist whatsoever" But we saw all of those people!
"I don't think it would be such a good idea to spy on them; for one it wouldn't lie well on our conscious" I explained "Why don't you use someone from the Net-Police?" I then suggested. Dad looked strangely at me for a few seconds. Is he going to still make us do it? Does he think that's a bad idea? "How about this; you ask someone from the Net-police to follow them and if we hear anything important, we'll e-mail you A.S.A.P" I tried to offer up a compromise. Maybe he'll go with this. A few moments of tense silence then...
"That seems like a good compromise" Dad said thoughtfully. He then looked at the time "Don't you need to be getting home? It's getting close to dinner-time and your Mum will be worried about you"
"So will you get someone from the Net-police to do it?" Lan asked impatiently. I didn't make any noise as I was a bit eager to hear the answer to that question myself.
"Only if you keep to your side of the bargain" Dad said, a bit jokingly, but we could tell he was being serious.
"Will do, Dad" Me and Lan said in sync, Lan mock saluting Dad and me sticking with a thumbs up.
Sonia's P.O.V
I woke up, a bit groggy as I was still sleepy. I then remembered where I was before that flash of light knocked me unconscious. I sensed something and prepared to attack whatever it was. I turned around with my fists raised and saw Geo jump back, arms raised as a sign of defeat.
"Geo? Where have you been? We've been searching for you all day" I asked in surprise. I was starting to feel a bit regretful about almost hitting him.
"That's not really important right now; how did you get those bruises?" Geo asked worriedly. It was then I realised that my body was aching all over. I gave myself a once-over and saw that I had bruises all over my arms.
"Oh these?" I asked, trying to stall. Geo nodded vigorously "Well, you see..." I trailed off "uh how do I put this without you feeling guilty?" I whispered to myself.
"Easy; you don't" Omega-xis burst out.
"Just tell me please" Geo pleaded.
"You won't like it" I retorted. Geo's expression showed me he didn't care if he didn't like it at that moment in time "I... was mauled by an army of mettennas" Geo opened his mouth to speak; probably about the fact that mettennas are easy to beat, a one shot kill. I raised my had and he closed his mouth again "It was like a sea of mettennas and I was overwhelmed. Then they started vanishing into this ball of Z-waves, you know, the ones that look like black holes?" Geo nodded in affirmation "So three quarters of them went through it and I defeated the other quarter. I then went to check the black hole, seeing as one hadn't come up since Andromeda and I got flashed unconscious. I think you know what happened after that" I grinned weakly but it faded as I took in Geo's expression. He looks so guilty! "It isn't your fault, you know. But where are we in the first place?" I asked, out of curiosity. Geo immediately looked more depressed. It's something really bad isn't it?
Hey, how are you today? I'm fine, as proven by this update. I think I'm on one of my 'hyper' moments again. Basically, I'm usually very quiet around other people, but sometimes I just get a random burst of energy from who-knows-where. Actually it might be contained energy that's bubbling over, like when you overcook rice in a pot. Well anyways, hope you enjoyed this instalment!
10th Squad 3rd Seat: Here she is!
Yes he does, I mean think about it, he was in the army; he would've needed to pick up at least some battle-planning skills.
Ah, but did I say that was going to happen?
datazeroone: I think I will take you up on that offer!
