Chapter 10

After Chaud's lost, the others stayed in the lobby and were thinking what they should do now.

"What should we do?" Yai asked, "Chaud and Protoman lost to some stranger and now he's in his room doing who knows what?"

"Calm down Yai," Lan called, "They need to be alone... he just lost to a stranger."

"Let's go to his room," Tori called, "to see if he want to go out with us."

"I don't know..." Caza replied, "What if Chaud doesn't want to come?"

"It doesn't hurt to try bro," Clair called, "we're his friends and friends need to stick together in times of need."

"You're right," Lan called, "then we better hurry. It's almost lunch time!"

The other's fell to the ground, and Lan chuckled lightly.

"I was just joking..."

"Lan!" Maylu shouted, "This is no time to..."

But then it was interrupted by Maylu's stomach. It grumbled so loud that everyone in the lobby heard it. Maylu's face was bright red and Lan sighed.

"How embarrassing..." Roll muttered

At the Central Island...

"Listen Cam!" the voice called, "I want you and the rouges to find Navies that have extraordinary powers in the tournament. But in either for them to be found you must fight them in your full potential. Destroy all the weak. But that doesn't mean we can't have any fun..."

"But what about the Elf Queen?" Cam asked

"Just let me worry about that."

"Yes sir..." Cam muttered

Looks like I'll have some fun after all...

"How disappointing Ratchet," a boy called, "5 minutes against an outsider... I beat mine 3 minutes."

The boy wears a black bandana, a shade that was hanging in his neck and a shiny blue dragon symbol in his black shirt and black jeans with chains in his pocket. He also has war marks in his face and arms and has black eyes that spell trouble.

"At least mine's a higher class than yours," Ratchet chucked, "Duke."

"Why I..."

"Duke! Ratchet!" Seiryu shouted, "Calm down!"

"Yes sir..." Duke called

"Remember you guys," Seiryu called, "we have to keep a low profile, I don't want us to stick out like a sore thumb."

"The surface is very different from the underground," Ratchet called, "it's very... vibrant."

"I know what you mean," Duke replied, "its too bright here!"

"I don't complain the brightness Duke," Seiryu said, "I'd say its better than the underground. For once the air never smells so fresh."

"No comment there bro!" Jack called, "its better than our base. Maybe we should stay here?"

"I wish we could," Ratchet called, "but we have a mission in the underground."

"Ratchet's right," Seiryu said, "we have to preserve justice there."

"Yeah... But I'm sick of fighting!" Jack shouted, "I'm going for a walk."

"Wait for me Jack," Seiryu called, "Ratchet, coming?"

"Yeah..." Ratchet replied, "Duke..."

"Nah," Duke chucked, "I'm going to see if there are other Ops here that are worthy to fight before the tournament."

"Alright..." Ratchet murmured

That op I battle this morning, Ratchet smiled, if he learned his lesson, then my sister's prediction will come true. I just hope he will learn it...

In Chaud's room, he was healing Protoman in his personal Laptop. Protoman was all right, but his pride was shattered.

"Protoman..." Chaud called, "are you alright?"

"Yes Chaud," Protoman muttered, "I'm sorry about the battle. I..."

"It's not your fault," Chaud smiled forcefully, "we didn't expect him to be that strong. If only we have a Cyber Elf..."

But the a flash appeared on the screen...

Yai and Clair went to Chaud's room to see if he's all right. The others were downstairs, looking for a place to go.

"I don't know Yai..." Clair called, "Chaud's room's quiet... too quiet."

"You know Chaud," Yai called, "he likes thing quiet. And beside he could be working."

"I still don't believe that he's the vice president of one of the biggest game companies."

"Here we are... Now... who's going to knock on the door?"

"I'm not..."

"Don't be a chicken Clair."

"Why don't you?" Clair called

"Alright!" Yai shouted back, "I'll go..."

"Why are you two afraid when you guys are knocking on the door," Chaud asked. He was standing there looking a little confused, "is not like I'm gonna bite you or anything?"

"Hehe..." the two girls chucked

"Well we thought..."

"Don't worry Clair," Chaud replied, "I'm alright. Anyway where is everyone?"

"They're at the lobby," Yai called, "but Lan and Maylu went out to get some fresh air."

Those lovebirds... Chaud thought

"Anyway where are you guys going?" Chaud asked

"I don't know," Yai replied, "but do you want to come with us?"

"Sure," Chaud said, "I'll just get Protoman."

The group went out of the hotel and went on a ride on the gondolas. They heard there was a café where they make the greatest ice cream in the entire island. While the net ops watch the view, Axl was looking for Megaman and Roll. He asked Pam if he can log in Megaman's P.E.T. She did and downloads him there. Lan's dad make some upgrades on Lan's P.E.T.

"Hey Megaman," Axl called, man his room's big and what is this huge box doing here? "Hey Megaman!"

It was silent for a moment and then Megaman's head popped out of the boxes wall, followed by Roll.

"Hey Axl," Roll called, "what are you doing here?"

"What are you," Axl paused and realised what the two are doing in there, "well sorry to disturb you..."

"What do you mean?" Megaman called, "we are just planning how to get Lan and Maylu to get together."

"Oh! But I thought..."

"What do you think we are doing in there anyway?"

"Nothing," Axl laughed nervously, "anyway I need your advice."

"On what?' the two called

"You see..."

After two minutes of explanation...

"I see..." Roll called, "this could be a problem Mega..."

"Anyway can you help me?" Axl asked

"You just have to wait," Megaman called, "you know that Gutsman is going out with Alia right now."

"I see," Axl pondered, "I just have to be patient then... man I hate waiting. Well thanks anyway."

Then Axl logged off and the two went back in the cube.

"You know we should write our own book Roll," Megaman joked, "I mean we're helping everyone ever since we went out."

"Nah," Roll replied, "lets just keep it to ourselves."

Then Roll kissed Megaman in the lips. Megaman then pull her body to his and kissed back.

They finally reached the café and Dex, Pam, Xai and Tori waste no time getting there. Yai and Clair followed. Caza and Chaud stayed to pay the boatman and Lan was helping Maylu get out of the boat.

"I can't believe those two haven't gone out yet," Caza said to Chaud (trying not to let Lan and Maylu hear him), "those two like each other and still to shy to admit it."

"Love's complicated," Chaud replied, "you'll never know where it will hit you..."

His sentence stopped when he saw another girl, sitting at the cafe. She has a long light red and orange hair that matches with her cerulean blue eyes. She wears a green sleeveless shirt and short, black jeans. She was laughing at her P.E.T. maybe her Navi was doing something funny. Caza notice this and waved his hand on his face. Chaud was mesmerized at the girl.

"As you were saying Chaud," Caza coughed

"Yeah..." Chaud snapped backed, "you'll never know when it will hit you."

"Like when you saw that girl on the café?"

Chaud blushed a little. Caza couldn't help but smile.

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Chaud called calmly

"Hey!" Yai shouted from the distance, "You two better hurry! The ice cream is great!"

"They have all the good flavours here!" Lan drooled, "I think I'm in heaven!"

"I'll have the strawberry shortcake chocolate swirl please," Maylu called, "how about you Lan?"

"I'll try the ultimate cookie dough," Lan replied, "with cherry on top!"

"We better hurry," Caza said, "I don't want Lan to finish all of it!"

"Wait up!"

Caza run ahead to the café Chaud tried to catch up until...

"I would recommend the Berry swirl," a voice called, "it's really good."

Chaud looked back and it was the girl that he saw. The girl smiled at him. Chaud froze and his cheeks turned pink. And looked away.

"Okay..." Chaud finally said, "Thanks uh..."

When he looked back, she was gone. He shook his head and went to the café. Chaud asked for the Berry Swirl.

Thanks for reading and Please Review!
