Chapter 10

To Kara, they couldn't fix it and I lost all copies of my fan fics and I had to get a new laptop. Also thanks for the name idea that's all I was really looking for……now I need to decide what he'll look like.

To Sean Talamantez, I called Mega Man but he said it wasn't important enough and Mega cussed me out big time.

Geo's P.O.V.

We entered our second day on the road and everyone was getting on edge. We were all uncomfortably cramped and hungry.

"Are we there yet?" Carlos asked

"Are we in space?" I asked back

"No."

"THEN WE'RE NOT THERE YET!!"

"……How 'bout now?"

"AAAAAAH!!" I said then started to bang my forehead on the wheel

"Carlos please shut up. We'll be in another town soon and then we can eat and stretch our legs." Solo said looking at a map

"How long exactly is soon?" Alister asked

"DAMN IT TO A PUS SPEWING, BLOOD GUTTED HELL, SHUT YOUR FRIGGIN MOUTH!!" I bellowed

Everyone was quiet until we got to the next town. I entered the city limits and the place was totally deserted.

"Galda must have gotten here already." Gregory said

"But why didn't he destroy this place?" I asked

"He was trying to kill us back then so he left this place cuz it would be too much trouble." Carlos said

"Well let's find some food I'm starving." Alister said

Almost all of us went to the nearest restaurant but Solo went off on his own. Carlos walked to Solo before he was too far away and asked "Solo don't you want to eat with your us?" Solo looked to him with daggers in his eyes and walked away.

"Why's that guy always being so distant with everyone?" Gregory asked

"He's just not social, let's eat." I said

Solo's P.O.V.

I walked the streets of the deserted town alone. I gripped my stomach as my hunger pains rose again, I looked to my right and found a vending machine. I slammed my fist into it and the plexiglas fell to the ground in shards. I grabbed a candy bar with blue wrapping that said "CRUNCH." On the front. I tore off and took a large bite out of it. Over the years I had taken a liking to these. I finished it off and my hunger pains subsided. The relief didn't last and I was plagued by them again.

"I need more than a darn chocolate bar." I said

I suddenly had a strong urge to go back to Geo and the rest of them and eat there. I shook the feeling away and said "NO, if I go to them then I might grow to like them then they'll think I'm their friend. I can't have friends if I do they'll just leave." I punched the wall and felt myself tear up slightly.

"Don't be such a damn weakling Solo." I said

I continued to walk after the little episode. I came across a medium size building that had music coming from it. I looked up to the sign above the door and it said "Arcade." I walked inside and saw the rows of game machines. I heard the music grow louder and louder as I ventured deeper inside the building. I came across the center of the building and saw a girl with blonde hair and wearing a pink helmet strumming a guitar. The girl had her back turned to me so I couldn't see her face. Her song ended and she said "Long time no see Solo."

"What do you want……Harp Note?" I asked

"A fight." She said simply "My master Galda has commanded me to kill you."

"Alright then." I said pulsing in

She rose up from the chair and turned to me. Her blood red eyes sent a chill down my spine as she stared me down.

"SHOCK NOTE!!" She shouted as she plucked her guitar

I evaded the attack and yelled "FLYING KNUCKLE!!" Giant fists of purple energy flew towards her, a cloud of dust was created when some of them hit the ground. The dust was blown away soon enough and I couldn't believe what I saw. None of my fists had hit her, there was a circular trench around her where my other fists hit but none hit her.

"That was pathetic." She said with disappointment in her voice "HARP CRUSH!!" She strummed her guitar and it sounded like something from a metal band. The sound made me feel like my head was going to shatter. It ended and I cringed in pain, many areas of my armor and visor were cracking.

"Ouch." I said

She didn't give me a chance to recover and slammed a Machine Gun String right in my face. I became disoriented and didn't know what happened, I felt like a building fell on my face. When I knew what was going on I found myself under a pile of rocks. I dug out and saw a tunnel of holes that were shaped like me that stretched for ten buildings.

"I am so glad I was too out of it to feel all that."

I felt something bash my head and knock me forward.

"I thought the great Burai would be stronger than this." I heard Harp Note say

She was right for some reason I wasn't fighting as much as strong as I could, why was I holding back?

"Maybe when I finish of I'll see Geo and get him out of the way, I wonder if it'll be hard to kill my boyfriend."



I realized that was it, I couldn't fight here at full strength because if I hurt her then I would hurt Geo. Why the hell do I care, he's not my friend.

"Damn it Solo!! Geo isn't your friend why do you care if he's hurt!!" I shouted at myself in my mind

"This is getting dull, I'm going to end this now." She said

She lifted the guitar like she was going to stab me with it. She thrust it down but I caught it with my hands, threw her back and said "Oh hell no!" I balled up my left fist, pressed it against my other hand and pulled out my sword. I still don't understand how that works. I slammed the sword on the ground causing a blast of purple energy. She let out a shriek of pain and fell back, she got up to send out a Shock Note but I lifted my hand and shouted "BURAI WAVE!!" My knuckle hit the ground and an energy wave traveled the ground to hit her dead on.

"Now is the time you choose to give me a good fight?" She asked

"No offense but I am so tired of hearing you talk."

I jumped into the air attempting to slash her, she blocked with her guitar but I cut threw easily and the sword cut her. She fell to the ground as she pulsed out.

"Geo's gonna be happy." I said smiling

I pulsed out then picked Sonia up, I carried her to the restaurant Geo was at.

"Hey, Geo." I said

"What?" Geo asked with a mouth full of fries

"There's someone you need to talk to."

I walked inside and when Geo saw her his jaw dropped making the half chewed fries fall out, then he fainted.

"Not the reaction I expected."
