Chapter 11
It had been a week since Ophiucus tried to control Luna, and she was back and in school. Geo took notice of how she looked, and though Sonia didn't like the fact he was looking at another girl, she could tell it wasn't worry like he would for her. It was less in intensity, but it was still there.
Bud and Zack were there to greet her as she entered the Classroom, and they were asking about all sorts of details. Geo came up to her, and she saw what he was going to ask.
"Bud. Zack. Geo and I need to talk about something. You two aren't allowed to hear it just yet." Luna told them, causing surprise from Bud, and something akin to shock from Zack.
They walked off, and found themselves to be completely alone. That is, until Sonia dropped down in front of them. "Ninja training still paying off?" Luna asked.
Her reply was, "Sure is."
"Alright, I know you were better 2 days ago. Why is it that you were still there?" Geo asked. "Knowing Solo, he would've gotten you to 100% as fast as he could without endangering you. That would mean 3 days, 4 at most."
"Actually, I was okay in 2 days. It took another day to get back to normal, though. After that, we spent some time together, and we did train a bit, if only to make sure I had my own mind. I did, and he was glad for it. I was basically getting used to it again, and still remember everything I could do, and Ophiucus is still around. She wasn't happy for it at first, but she eventually warmed up to the idea." Her Transer opened, Ophiucus clearly annoyed.
"Why bother telling them this? It's not like they would understand any of what you could do."
"Well Ophiucus," Geo started. "I think the fact that Omega-xis is my partner as you are Luna's, and Lyra is Sonia's partner in the same way, I would imagine that we would know about this. Wouldn't you agree?"
"Alright then, answer me this? Why did you destroy the Andromeda Key in the first place? Omega-xis would have used it himself."
"Well, considering he found my memories of what it could do, he figured it was best to destroy the thing with no evidence. Unfortunately, there was one piece left. He just doesn't have it." He pulled a claw from his pocket. "I do. Now Cygnus made another key."
"Why didn't I hear about this?" Luna asked.
"Until we knew whether Ophiucus would ally with you, or you would be separated, we couldn't risk her finding this Next bit out. That Key can't be used by an FMian." Geo explained. "He had it made, but he modified it a bit, allowing only an AMian to use it. There are only 4 AMians alive, as far as I know. I used 3 of them in a transformation with Star Break."
"AM Sages." Sonia said. "I already know who the fourth is, but I don't think Ophiucus knows."
"She's right on that. Who is the Fourth one?"
"My partner Omega-xis." Geo replied, shocking her. "He's not an FMian, like Cepheus thinks. He never was. He was raised on Planet FM because Planet AM was destroyed. He didn't know about it until the AM Sages told him. An FMian cannot turn humans into a Denpa Life Form. FMian or not. Omega-xis can, and has. The space station you were supposed to attack, which was a misunderstanding in judgment, by the way, exploded, but there were no casualties. He turned my father, who was there, and the ship's crew in Denpa Life Forms. That reason alone would normally be good enough."
"Normal won't cut it for me."
"I figured you'd say that, so I thought about it, and found out that there was something else he could do that you never can."
"When was this?" Sonia asked.
"About an hour ago." Geo admitted. "An AMian is a lot more adaptable than an FMian is capable of. You want to know how many times he's adapted to something that would normally kill him otherwise?"
"Now I'm curious."
"He's an AMian, and because of that fact, he can adapt to it. Instead of his body completely rejecting something usually harmful, Tribe On and Noise being notable examples, he assimilates with them. Taurus and Lyra can't adapt to noise without outside help. Omega-xis was able to. He had gone into a Noise Wave once, Joker Program off, and he could move around pretty easily. Off course, it didn't take long for him to have to get out of there or turn it on. About 2 minutes, actually. That much would've killed Lyra or Taurus without any help suppressing it. Even then it would be iffy."
Lyra came out at that point. "He's right, it would have killed me."
Sonia pulled the visualizer down. "It's a good thing that I already know what it would entail. Also, we still have the Joker Program, and it's active."
Geo looked at her. "Trying to get used to the Noise stored in it?" A nod. "Depending on how long you have it active, and how often, you may be immune to it by the time it comes en masse."
"That's what we're hoping for."
"Okay, let me cross over everything. Make sure I got it. You destroyed the Andromeda Key, Cygnus made another one and altered it so only an AMian could use it, Cygnus is probably working for you as a Double Agent. Do I have everything so far?" Ophiucus asked, earning a nod from Geo.
"Basically. Although, I didn't say anything about Cygnus working for me. Cygnus and his partner are working with us, but not for us. He is still acting as Cygnus would, but Cygnus does not have control." Geo then got a message.
Geo,
Been a while since I sent anything to you. I figured there was something you should know. In 3 days, I'm going to gather the FMians still loyal to Cepheus and attack the Satellite Control Center. I know Wolf and Ophiucus are out. Lyra was never truly with Cepheus, so she's out. Gemini is not going to be involved in this plan, but I figure that he will try to interfere in the plan.
Come alone at first. The others should head to you after we have you in a pincer. Pincer the pincer assault. I'll be on one side, they will be on the other. I will wink with my left eye when I am about to attack them. Wink your left eye when you see it. That is when we strike them. I will strike first, then you follow up.
Note that they will be in Denpa Henkan state. As such, there is little reason for otherwise foolhardiness. We want to save the Earth, not destroy it. At least you and I do.
Tom Dubious
"What do you know? It's almost time." Geo said.
"I guess it's time to show off?" Sonia asked.
"Omega-xis and I are going alone at first. We'll be using one body. Luna, tell Solo that I'm putting him in charge for your part." He explained the plan. "We have 3 days. Best make it count."
Luna let Solo know, while Geo let Sonia know. Hope went around, and found Damien, telling him the information, since Geo told her. Damien then went back to his work as a gardener the next day.
The moment he walked in, a familiar face charged him. "Damien!" She wrapped him in a hug. "I was worried about you."
"Sorry, I had a lot to take care of." He told her. "I'm not out of the wet work yet, though."
"I told my father that something happened and you wouldn't be able to work for a while. He was saddened by that, but I was more worried than sad." She told him. "Why are you not ready to come back, and you still come here?"
"I came to warn you of something. For the next few days, don't leave your house. Something big is coming, and I have to help take care of it." Damien told her. "Once this is over, I should be able to come back. Until then, I want you to stay on the safe side. If you find yourself in any kind of trouble, do whatever you can to get out of the area. If I can, I'll help you out. Either as Wolf Woods, or Damien Wolfe."
"Why do you have to help?" She asked.
"Remember when that Wolf took over my mind?" After she nodded, he continued. "Well, now I can control the form I was in. Even when the form turns a greener shade. The fact I can do that at all is the reason I have to help. If we let them win, then it's goodbye Earth. If I can help, and I can, then I'll do whatever it takes to keep you alive."
"What if you don't make it back?" She was on the verge of tears.
"Then it only means I was not suitable for the task. If I don't make it, do not cry over me, as it was my choice." Damien put a hand on her shoulder. "I will do whatever I can to protect you, and if I have to do this to keep you safe, then so be it. You are my reason for doing this."
"Alright, Damien. I'll do this for you. Just promise me one thing." He looked at her and held up a finger.
"There is no guarantee that I'll survive this. I'll try my best to survive, but I make no promises. Trying is the best I can do." he put a hand on her shoulder again. "I heard a saying once. It's not whether you succeed or fail, but whether or not you have the courage to try. This is my courage showing itself. Remember that." he held up his Transer. "Denpa Henkan. Damien Wolfe, On air!"
"Until we meet again." Wolf Woods said, before using a Frequency Change to leave.
'Damien... Be safe.'
-The next day-
Copper was currently on top of a mountain.
"Alright, where the hell is that guy?"
"You mean me?" a voice said behind, causing him to turn around. "Still wanting to figure out who I am? Well, that's not why I called you here."
"Alright, why the hell would you call me for this?" Copper asked.
"To warn you." Star Force Mega said. "I got word from an informant on the opponent's side. They are going to attack the Satellite Control Center. Star Force wants the Satella Police force to stay out of it."
"This is our jurisdiction!"
"Not this time, it's not." SFM told him. "Besides, if what I think is true, then that means that Denpa Viruses are going to start materializing. That means the Virus Vacuums will not work on them."
"Impossible."
"Quite possible, actually. If they get control of the Satellite Control Center, they can alter the Denpa Atmosphere to make them materialize. If they become visible to the naked eye, then forget about the Vacuums. Instead, stick with your Transers, and use Battle Cards. We're counting on the Satella Police to protect the citizens, as it is their Job. We're going to take care of the main threat, as it is our job, and you could die from it."
"If the Viruses Materialize then what makes you think those bigger guys can't?"
"They always could. Just like I am. The more complex Denpa Life forms can change their state to appear in the Wave World, or the Real World. Right now, I'm talking to you from the Real World. When I turn invisible to your eyes, I'm in the Wave World. All Denpa Ningen can do this. For us, it's as easy as walking. Remember what I said today, and inform your subordinates. They'll need to know this as well. Once Cepheus is purified by the Brotherband System he will recall his soldiers. Holding them off while waiting for that was the original plan. Now that they are going to attack, we have to stop it from succeeding."
"What makes you think I'd believe you?"
"I don't expect you to believe me." SFM admitted. "But it seems like you don't have choice in the matter. Just remember what I said, and when, not if, it comes to pass, then follow my advice. It will help you in the long run." He left in a Frequency Change, shocking Copper with the revelation.
He, in turn, called WAZA HQ. "What do you know about Megaman?"
What brought this up, Copper?
"He just called me and told me things that are impossible."
He is a master of the Impossible. If he says that he can do something that you would think is impossible, then by all means, you should believe him.
"Why is this?"
I don't believe you are aware of this, but that Megaman has experience from the future. He knows what should happen, and has been trying to prevent the biggest event. In this time, he's only 11 or 12 years old. However, he has experience with what he's doing, Years of it, in fact. As such, can do so with ease. If he gave you advice on the upcoming situation, take it. It should help in the long run.
"Strange, he said the same thing."
He gave you some advice on the upcoming event?
Copper explained what just happened. I see. I was already informed of the Changing of your state, and that is what he just told you about. Viruses are not able to do that on their own. What he says is the truth, though. We have an alliance with Star Force. Their task is to protect the Earth from Extreme Denpa Attacks. These guys fall under that category. Leave the big guns to them, and the Satella Police will take care of the smaller threats.
"Understood."
Over and Out. He hung up. 'I hope he knows what he's doing.'
-The day of the attack-
Star Force was standing on Vista Point. Luna's father was there as well, but he wasn't informed.
"Luna, who are these people?" He asked.
"Father, this is Star Force." She introduced each of them. "And then the final member: Me."
"What are talking about? And why are you a member?"
Solo looked at him. "Remember when I told you about the place she was resting after the confrontation with Ophiucus? These are also the only ones that can get there. And for a reason." He looked at Geo, who nodded.
"Something big is going to happen today, Mr. Platz. It's best if you stay indoors while it happens. And make sure to stay away from the action."
"What action?"
"He means an invasion, father. The enemy they've been going up against is about to go for an all out assault. Star Force and the Satella Police are working together for this. I remember you once said that you were a Battle Card Collector." Luna said, earning a nod. "That will help you out. If you see something that is messing with Electronic devices, use one on it through your Transer, and then get out of there. We're taking care of the big guns."
"I'll tell the servants the same thing, but why are you involved?"
They all looked at her, and she nodded to them. "Let's do it."
"Right!"
"Denpa Henkan!"
"Geo Stelar,"
"Omega-xis,"
"Sonia Strumm,"
"Hope Stelar,"
"Damien Wolfe,"
"Luna Platz,"
"Solo,"
"On air!" they all finished. The Platz Head was instantly afraid of Queen Ophiucus the moment she appeared.
"You..."
"Relax, dad. I have my own mind this time. We're going to deal with the threat that's coming. I only ask that you stay safe during all of this. We can handle it." QO told him.
"Also, we have Amaken Labs on our side." SF Mega told him. "Aaron Boreal is a friend of the Stelar Family. He's already in the know about the whole situation. There is nothing that can be done here but beat them at their own game."
"Why do you risk my daughter's life?"
"He's not risking my life on this. I am." QO told him. "I do this because I want to. Because there's something I have that I want to protect. Mega, I am going to help out as needed, but Rogue is the only one to work with me."
"I figured you'd say that. You two were getting ready for dating before Harp Note and I got sent back."
"And now we have another chance at that. I'm not ready to die just yet, and he finally has something to live for aside from Mu. He is one reason." Queen Ophiucus turned to her father. "Father, we have to do something only we can do, and we need to do this together. Otherwise, all our planning will be for naught. We already have an idea of what they're going to do."
There was suddenly an explosion in the distance, bringing their attention. "Looks like they've started." SFM said. "Remember the plan. Stick to the shadows, and when I give the signal, surround them. Leave Cygnus out of it." They all nodded.
SFM and SFO glowed, combined, and then flew off. The rest left after him, but kept themselves hidden.
-in the city-
Detective Copper was getting pissed, and hid behind a car. "Damn. It's almost as if these viruses have become real." He mused, before remembering something Megaman told him. He looked at his Transer, and called out. "Battle card: Power bomb!" Several viruses were deleted.
"Chief!" One of Copper's subordinates shouted. "How did you do that?"
"The Viruses are materializing. The usual methods won't work. Instead, use Battle Cards in combination with our Transers. Pass this on to all units in the Satella Police."
"Sir!" he ran off to tell his comrades. "Megaman, wherever you are, we really need some help."
Copper saw a Virus too close for comfort, and he jumped out of the way, before he heard a voice.
"Wide claw!" the virus was deleted, and Copper looked at who did it.
"Wolf woods. I'm a part of Star Force." the being replied.
"The same one that's working alongside WAZA?"
"Correct. There are 2 others doing this in the city. The rest are going after the enemy."
"You mean the viruses are the distraction?" Copper yelled.
"Correct. Unfortunately, The other two are working on the Viruses because they aren't really willing to work with most of the others. Megaman also has an informant with the enemy. He's also the one running the operation, just so we can take out the others." WW replied. "Upper Claw!" He took out a few aerial Viruses.
"Anything else I should know?"
"At the moment, no." he went through some more. "Just rely on your battle cards and dodge their attacks. That's all you can do at the moment. Howling Wolf!" Several wolves appeared and charged some viruses.
Copper growled. "I know you don't like being told what to do by us, but right now, we have the knowledge, and you have some of the means. It's best if you take our advice, and deal with the problem at hand, instead of making new ones."
"Battle Card: Sword!"
-elsewhere-
Queen Ophiuca and Rogue were deleting viruses left and right. They were working together, and covered each other's backs.
"Seems like there's no end to them, huh?" Rogue asked.
"There never is." QO replied. "And this is good for reflex training."
"No kidding. Flying Knuckle!" Several viruses were deleted as Rogue drew his blade, and cut through a few more. "Rogue Shockwave!" he punched the ground and deleted 3 Viruses on the ground before cutting through more that were coming up behind QO. "Pay more attention. You almost got stabbed in the back." He cut through another one.
"Sorry. Still adjusting to things." QO admitted. "One of the reasons I'm here working on the Viruses and not with the others. I'm not at their level or experience. Snake Legion!"
-Wave Roads-
Megaman was coming up on the Satellite Control Center, where Cygnus Wing stood in his way. "It's been a while, Megaman." he smirked.
"Where are the others?" MM asked.
The others suddenly appeared behind him, and he noticed immediately. "I see. Trying to lure me into a trap, eh?"
Taurus Fire, Crown Thunder and Libra Scales appeared behind him. "Only 3? I figured you'd also send Cancer Bubble with them, if only to even the odds."
"Oh, I can think of other things."
"Then again..." SFMM started. "It looks like you're the one that's been outwitted. Star Force!"
Several Flashes appeared surrounding the FMians putting them between Megaman and themselves.
Wolf Woods, Crimson Dynamo, Rogue, Queen Ophiucus appeared behind the other FMians. Harp Note was surrounding Cygnus Wing with Megaman. "Give up now, or die."
"You're just a goody two shoes that is working with his father's murderer." CW stated with a smirk.
MM then smirked himself. "That's where you're wrong. My father isn't dead. He was turned into an EM being, thus saving his life." Cygnus Wing then winked his left eye.
Megaman noticed this and replied with a wink from his left eye. Harp Note noticed the wink from MM, and she did the same. "Cygnus Feather Shot!" The feathers sailed over MM's head and hit the FMians.
This attack surprised them, and they got hit quickly. Rogue and QO charged Crown Thunder. Crimson Dynamo and Wolf Woods went up against Libra Scales. Megaman split into Star Force Mega and Star Force Omega. SFO then charged Taurus Fire with Cygnus Wing.
SFM and Harp note went to the Satellite Control Center, and within 3 minutes, Cancer Bubble was sent flying.
"Cancer Bubble's blasting off Again~!" Classic Anime Ding. (A/N: I never get tired of that, and apparently, neither does he)
Taurus Fire was taken down easily and forced to retreat after transforming back, when SFO went Ice Pegasus and froze him instantly, before CW used Migratory Birds to take him out completely.
Libra Scales went out quickly as the Double Team between CD and WW collided causing him to scream in pain, transform, and flee.
Crown Thunder was easier, and was defeated quite easily. QO wrapped him with her tail, while Rogue took his Mu Blade, and came down with a piercing strike straight through the head, causing an instant death. He wasn't even able to retreat.
HN and SFM came back to find them all standing there. "Looks like we're done here."
"Not quite. They retreated." Cygnus Wing stated.
"Crown's gone." Rogue stated. "Not gone, as in fled. Gone, as in Dead. Trap and Strike. Instant Death."
"So the only ones left under Cepheus are Cancer, Libra, and Taurus?" SFM asked, earning a nod. "Cygnus Wing, did you destroy the Denpa Henkan Machine?"
"Not yet." He admitted. "However, all data leading up to it is already corrupted and destroyed. It's all up here, though." He tapped his head. "It's too complicated for Taurus to Understand, Cancer is nothing more than an old bastard that acts like a kid, and Libra is too entranced by Balance in order to find out."
SFM nodded in agreement. "If you could send it to WAZA, more specifically, the R&D department and hand it to Dr. Goodall, she may be able to make some good use of it. We've got a long way to go before we can get back to our Hunters." HN and Rogue nodded in agreement, as did QO.
"Hunters?" CW asked.
"Future Tech. Don't ask." SFM stated, earning several nods.
"Anything else we should know?" WW asked.
"Where is the new Andromeda Key?" SFM asked.
CW tossed it to him, and it was crushed. "You didn't need to do that. No one can use it."
"You said only an AMian can use it, correct?" CW nodded. "Omega-xis is an AMian. Leo Kingdom, Dragon Sky, and Pegasus Magic are alive and well, and currently are the Admins of the Satellites under their names, Leo, Dragon, and Pegasus respectively. This means there are 4 AMians left alive."
CW looked at him in surprise. "Omega-xis isn't an FMian?"
"I thought he just explained that." SFO deadpanned.
"I did. And that's why..."
"He destroyed it." SFO finished for him.
"You really need to break that habit." Crimson Dynamo said flatly.
"I know." SFO started.
"Its just fun to annoy our enemies like that." SFM finished.
"Ain't that the truth." HN added.
"I think we would know that better than any of you." Another voice stated, turning heads. Gemini Spark was there. Both were there and they were confused.
SFM and SFO stepped up to them. "Gemini Spark." They said simultaneously.
"Star Force Mega." GSW said.
"Star Force Omega." GSB said.
"What are doing here?" SFM questioned, on guard for anything.
"Wondering how you knew Cygnus modified the Key." GSW stated.
"Sorry, no can do Pat." SFM replied.
"It would ruin what chance we had." SFO added.
They were both surprised that they knew who they were.
"How did you..."
"Know you possessed him?" SFO asked.
"Or is it the fact that you didn't completely possess Pat, but saved him?" SFM asked.
GSB looked between GSW, SFM and SFO in confusion. "Pat, Rey. There's a reason we knew of the key, and there's a reason I knew what was coming before it all came." SFM stated.
"Then what is it?"
"I know how all of the FMians, and their attacks. I know who each FMian, even the ones known as Corvus and Virgo, can fuse with to become Denpa Ningen. I also know of 2, both of which are present, who don't have to Fuse. You think Cepheus is too weak, do you?" SFM asked.
"What would you say if he was being purified as we speak?" SFO asked.
This sent both of them into shock. "His purification is happening at the hands of my father." SFM started.
"On the space shuttle that my team was supposed to destroy. Instead, we misinterpreted what they were sending out." SFO continued.
"In the end, he saved them." SFM finished.
"Why save the enemy?"
"I'm tired of going through this, but"
"He's not an FMian." SFM finished for him. "He doesn't have to follow the code of an FMian, as he's an AMian."
GSB was surprised at this revelation. "I thought all the AMians were eradicated!"
"Everyone did." WW stated. "Omega-xis, Dragon Sky, Leo Kingdom, and Pegasus Magic are the only known ones to be living."
"When you think about it, why not join up with us, and protect your home?" SFM asked. "You wouldn't be liked on Planet FM, and you were thinking of using the Andromeda Key to take out Cepheus anyway."
"How do I know you're not going to trick us?" GSW accused.
Rogue was instantly in front of him, and pressed 2 fingers to GSW's forehead. There was glow, an they were both engulfed. Queen Ophiuca facepalmed. "Why did he have to do that?"
The glow died down. GSW was panting. Rogue glared at GSB. "Hn." He looked at QO, who nodded. They both left. Everyone else blinked, and GSB was enraged.
SFM caught on to this, and ended up behind him with a frequency change, and picked him up. "If you attack, there will be no hesitance in killing you right here and now."
"Like you could kill me!" GSB retorted.
"Rey, stop!" GSW shouted. "Geo, why?"
"Elaborate, please."
"Why did you sacrifice yourself to take that blast for Sirius?" GSW asked, shocking those who didn't know.
"It was either me, or allow him to self-destruct, destroying Planet FM, everyone on it, and the Galaxy Server." SFM admitted. "This also meant that I would've died anyway, but so would you. Instead, only myself, Sonia, and Solo got caught in it. I knew people would be sad if I died, but I chose the lesser of two evils. It's either do nothing and Millions die, or do something, and a select few die. The number was 3, from what I know."
"That's what it was. But why is that the lesser of two evils?"
"Lyra and Omega-xis were still around as we were separated in the blast. Omega-xis took the title of Megaman, and fought off any intruders to Planet Earth. If you see things like I did, then you'll understand why I chose what I did. I went down fighting, and out how I wanted to. But instead of death, a chance for change is what I got. I was able to play it off as strange dreams with my mother, until she heard from Ra Mu Xa. By then she was already so deep in it's ass, I'd blame any coughs the situation had on her."
"Damn, she got caught up in this too?" GSW asked.
"She already had several Kendo, Martial Arts, and even one Sports Shooting Trophy. If you didn't know, Crimson Dynamo was her." SFM stated.
"Why are you telling him this?" Crimson Dynamo asked.
"Rogue did the same with him that he did Luna. He remembers everything from last time, just like Luna does." SFO answered.
"That explains it." HN said.
"It explains nothing!" GSB shouted.
"Rey. Shut. UP!" GSW shouted with malice in his voice. "If it weren't for you in the first place, I could've had a good friend in Geo, and not a mother fucking enemy!"
"Shut up ya Pansy!"
"If I'm a Pansy, then you're a Pansy, because you are really just an extension of ME!" GSW shouted.
GSB blinked at that. Then he got extremely Angry. "WHAT THE FU..." there was an explosion nearby.
"Anyone want to continue?" SFM asked, showing that he had a Power Bomb ready to use. GSB sneered at him, and moved to attack. All he had gotten out of it was a face full of a Power Bomb.
"That #?*!ing hurt!"
"That was the point, idiot." SFM stated. "For someone who claims to be the superior of the Gemini Twins, you really are stupid, you know?"
"Say what?"
"Twins are always equal in skill. They keep each other in balance. One is White, one is Black. One is more compassion based, the other one is more hatred based." SFO stated.
"That's why Star Force Omega, and Star Force Mega are equal in strength. We function like twins." SFM added.
"Like you." SFO continued.
"The difference between us and you,"
"Is the simple fact that we know we can work without the other and still be balanced. You, on the other hand, are not."
Everyone watched the banter, which went on for 10 minutes. During this time, GSW walked over towards the others to listen.
"You aren't going to listen?"
"I've been through this lecture before. I got it from Ace before I became a partial Commando, which later turned into me being a full time Commando. Rey needs to relearn the lesson. Since I remember the lesson, and subsequent beating, I'm good."
"Beating?" Crimson Dynamo asked.
"Don't ask." Harp Note said. "It's a kind of test. That's all I'll. I went through it, Bud went through it, hell, even Geo went through it."
"Guys?" WW said, earning their attention. "I think they're about to fight."
"Ah, I was wondering when that would happen." GSW said. "Let's watch Rey get his ass beat. Without me, he can't fight effectively."
-5 minutes later-
"I give. You win. I'll join." GSB stated, causing GSW to get up. He walked to his counterpart and shook his head. "Rey, you're such an idiot. They didn't even have to coordinate their attacks, and they well could have. Face it, without me, you're lost."
"Alright... You win. But how did you know?"
"Because Rogue reactivated my memories, but didn't do the same to yours." GSW stated.
"And I wouldn't gain them until we change back." GSB said, earning a nod. "Fine. I'm in, but if I find out what's been going on isn't to my liking, then I'm out."
"Thought you would say that. However, you wouldn't have much choice either way." GSW stated. "Remember, the body itself is mine. Gemini may have saved me and created you, but there is a reason for everything. Even if worked together, we couldn't have beaten those. They'd take us out 6 ways to Sunday."
"Not to mention I could've killed you easily." SFM stated plainly. "I didn't, so you could learn."
"I love beating the arrogance out of idiots, and it's better like this, than as a head." SFO admitted.
"You know, so do I. Damn, I'm starting to take some of your traits."
"FINALLY!" SFO shouted only to get hit by Harp Note on the head.
"Shut up." She said, eyes close.
"Thank you."
"Don't even get me started. Besides, I'm not fond of arrogance either, so I'd join in from time to time." HN added. Everyone present blinked a few times, and then shrugged. "Besides, I think you developed the trait while trying to beat some sense into Rogue so often."
SFM blinked. "That... Actually makes sense. Going 200 years through time, and getting stuck there really did wonders for the guy."
"Is that why he's so helpful?" GSW asked.
"One of the reasons, yeah." SFM replied. "The other is because of who else is with us. He only works with her, and she's a friend of mine. If you saw what happened on Bunta's Secret Revealer, in which Sonia revealed our relationship, that was the actual time frame we've been dating. In between business, and Commando life, it was getting too hectic for her director."
They all laughed, and they went to their respective homes.
-Platz mansion-
Solo, Luna, and Luna's father were together in his study.
"Glad to know you're safe, Luna." He said.
"Don't worry so much, dad." Luna stated. "I'm part of an elite group that actually lives for this stuff. He's only a part of it because I am."
"And among them, Geo and his mother Hope are the only ones, aside from Luna, that I'd even half-trust. Luna is the only one I'd trust with my life." Solo admitted.
Mr. Platz nodded. "Since there was no official report yet..."
"There won't be one." Solo stated. "Amaken will make sure of it, and if they don't, then WAZA and the Satella Police will do something about it. We have connections to Aaron Boreal from Amaken, Goodall from WAZA, and even are in league with the WAZA chief."
"You're already that far?" Luna asked.
"We have been for a while. I would try to keep up, but I doubt they told you, either."
"Wait. You've got WAZA and Amaken backing you?" Mr. Platz asked.
"Along with the fact that we work alongside the Satella Police." Solo stated. "Star Force acts on its own morals, and the only reason it's actually formed is because Geo is the leader of it."
"You mean to tell me you've got a 12 year old kid is running you're little group?"
"He's 10, dad." Luna corrected. "And the fact of the matter is, he was chosen as the leader. He doesn't always look like it, but he's the best out of all of us, Solo makes a close second, as does Sonia, and yes she's in of her own volition."
"And what makes you want to follow him?" Mr. Platz asked.
"He's got this aura. One that makes you want to believe in him. He's got strength of will, strength of heart, and above all else, a drive to protect all that is dear to him."
"Then why is he the leader?" Mr. Platz asked. "I wouldn't ask if not for that last one."
"Because of what's at the top of that list." Solo stated. "Life. His friends and family are a close second. That's why he takes pride in helping others. He can't stand seeing people lonely, and I'm one of the more stubborn ones that he turned." He admitted. "When it comes to plans, give him a minute he's good. Give him an hour, he's great. You give him a week... Well, at that point, if you have a death wish, and you pissed him off, you're dead. No question about it."
"No kid can think like that."
"I'm not going to explain why to you, because, frankly, you wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me."
"Sonia Strumm, Geo Stelar, and Myself are actually using our mentality several years into the Future. Geo was 17, almost 18. Sonia was 18. Me... Well, I can't say much on that, to be honest. I lived to 13 almost 14 when I was frozen for I don't know how long. Though last time, I was unfrozen a few months from now. This time, I unfroze myself early so I could make sure she was safe. If not for that, I wouldn't have unfrozen until Mu was being released by someone."
"And that's the only reason? Not to join up with them?"
"I'm not fond of most of them, as I already told you." Solo stated. "In fact, if she didn't, I wouldn't have done so. And then there's the fact I'd only work with her. She's the only reason I joined Star Force, and only so I could help protect her. Even if she doesn't need it, doesn't mean I'm willing to lose her due to my own ignorance. I lost everyone close to me once. I don't plan on losing her."
He nodded. "And that's why I approve."
Luna looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean approve?"
"I wasn't sure before, but this just proves it. He'll keep you safe. However, you'd have to be in school."
"I probably would if I had any records. I normally keep to myself, to be honest. Besides, I'm the only one that can keep an eye on the seal of Mu. When someone starts to unseal it, the first one to know is Geo. The next one to know is Luna. From there, anyone else that finds out is bound to find out from them. That's one of the reasons I keep my home hidden. So no one goes up to it without me knowing. It helps while I'm traveling, and yes I do that a lot, but mainly I just keep an eye on the Seal of Mu."
"And why was Mu sealed? That's something that no one can figure out."
"His name is Le Mu. Tyrannical Self-proclaimed God of Mu. Mu nearly destroyed itself because of him. Ra Mu Xa would have been a better choice, to be honest. Even though he's a bastard at times, what he does gives good points to him. If nothing else, he deserves that."
Luna nodded. "That's why Geo's mother could Denpa Henkan?"
"Yes, and that's the main reason he's a bit of a bastard." Solo stated. "Anything else?"
"No, but I think you should get out of a hermit lifestyle."
"Hermits, the way I see them, stay in one spot all the time. I travel too much to be considered one." Solo retorted.
"Point. Anyway, you should get going." Mr. Platz stated. "I have to talk to my daughter about something, and I'm not sure if you should hear it yet."
Solo looked at her and he raised an eyebrow. "You do realize that when I do..."
"I know, but if it helps out why not?" Luna asked.
"Because you know as well as I do, that's not really safe. You remember what happened last time?"
"Of course I do. It's probably better to get it out of the way now, instead of later."
"When there are still 3 FMians on the run?" Just then Solo and Luna both got a message.
All Star Force Members,
Gemini has converted. If you wish to thank someone, thank Solo.

"That kid is going to get himself hurt one of these days. And if anyone is to do it, more likely than not it's Crimson Dragon, Sirius, or myself. Not even sure if Cepheus can handle him. He beat Le Mu before, at least."
Luna nodded at that. "And that was when he was empowered by 3 Tribes from Mu."
"Yeah, and there's really 5. Out of all 5 Tribes, I'm the only one left out of any of them. He draws on Zerker, Saurian, and Ninja. I'm from the Burai Tribe, and they act as guardians. Then there's the Royal Family, which is more of a Wild Card to the Tribes. They don't restrict themselves to one Tribe, and consider themselves from all of them. We just consider them a Fifth Tribe. More of a formality than anything else."
"Alright then. Get going. Someone has to track them down, and since you travel the most, why not?"
"Because I'd be leaving you, of course. I'd be coming back to check in, every now and then, sure. But if I wait too long..."
"You won't." Luna's face had a sickly sweet smile. "I'm pretty sure of that."
Solo sweatdropped. He left quickly. She looked at the ceiling, and sighed. "Well, he's long gone."
"Alright, how did you do that?"
"Practice, and knowing how his mind works. That's about it... Oh, and the expression. He knows it, and he doesn't want to get on my bad side. No one that has seen it would ever want to again, much less have it directed at them. Last time Bud did... He went flying well over a Kilometer."
"Tell me more." Mr. Platz said, interested.

Chapter finished!
Sorry it took so long. I've been working on so many stories, that I temporarily forgot about this one.
Good thing I remembered.
