Connected Hearts
Duets towards Happiness
Silver: I tried not to get the title so sappy… but in the end I failed, lols! X3! Today, we're going to learn how Sora's and Enzan's relationship came to be.
Persona: Yay! Home video! Home video! (popping out of nowhere.)
Blues: Quiet you! And get back in here! (grabbing the small navi and gets back in the story.)
Enzan: Do you really have to show this?
Silver: Well, I bet the readers are wondering how you and Sora got together and Netto is demanding me for explanation about it. So pretty much this is a flashback story. (noticing Enzan is sulking.) Awww… no worries I won't show much of the embarrassing parts, anyhow enjoy minna-san.
(Disclaimers: Plata Azul-Firebird does not own any Rockman series and the songs that were featured except for her OCs… And I need a raise! -_-*.)
Duets towards Happiness
"Remind me again why we're here?" Netto asked, as his sister digs into some junks.
"We're here to find parts and stuffs we need the built this charging capsule." Rockman said as he looks around, helping his sister and Rouge on their search. After school, they went to the junk shop to find some parts for the said machine.
"Yeah, you've been eating large amount of food lately, so we're finding an alternative way to keep your energy up without making a lot of trips to the groceries." Sora pointed out and pulls out a box full of computer chips. "This is useful… wait, there's a rare chip in here! Who the hell throws this?" she exclaimed as she pulls out a Paladin Sword chip.
"Lucky, and is that bad?" Netto asked.
"Well, you did ate about a week worth of groceries within 3 days and quite a large amount last time in Yaito's party. If we sum up all the grocery trips… it's gonna be bad on the family's budget." Rouge quipped, he sighs and helps his sister look for the items needs.
"But I couldn't help it, I need that amount food to keep me going." Netto said, as he throws a keyboard overhead.
"Look, I'm considering some of this options…" Sora said, turning to her brother. "It's either we work and earn for our foods, increase the vegetation and farm productions, built an energy capsule or remove that copy chip of yours to lower your energy need." And then Netto quickly covers his chest and turns it away. "And I know you'll disagree with the latter." she added.
After getting the stuffs needed, she paid for the items and they left to apologize to Meiru.
:::^*^:::
"Why would I take this… creature in my wing?"
"Well… you do need something… something to give you an edge in all of your… failed missions."
"And why do you suggest this?"
"Well… firstly, my dear, X has a soft spots for that kind and I think this could do well to your advantages… and a certain boy will be also distracted by it."
"What about that girl?"
"Never worry, because that boy will be her weights to slow her down… Just leave it to me, dearie, just prepare him for his new NetOp and let me handle the talking to that sweet girl, ne?"
And she left… as someone else enters the room.
"Master Sigma… are you sure about this? I mean he despises being ordered around and he might end up killing this human rather than cooperating."
"…Just prepare him for this NetOp…"
"Yes Master."
:::^*^:::
Netto sat on the couch sighing with a magazine on his hand… Yesterday, they went to Meiru's place to apologize. But they end up running away when she throws random items at them and yelling to leave her alone. The young reploid was guilty about the situation his friend is in, but is comforted by his sister.
Now… back at the current situation…
The doorbell rang and he opens the door to see Enzan in a tuxedo. "Hey Enzan, what made you come here?" Netto asked.
"I'm here to pick up your sister." Enzan said and enters the house.
"As in a date?" Netto asked and Enzan nodded. "Well you're gonna have to wait for a while, she's still in the shower." and motions the vice president to the living room. And it was quite silent… it was kinda torturing him while the visitor just flipping the magazine that he suppose to read.
Then… "Hey Enzan…" he spoke up.
"Yeah?" the older boy answered.
"How did you and Sora got together?" Netto asked, and the other boy looks at him. "I'm not being nosy or anything, but you and my sister? Not to mention, Rouge and Blues… I mean how did that happened?"
"Well… I guess you have the right to know what happened…" Enzan said as he places the magazine back on the table. "Okay, let's start at the beginning… when I first met her, we don't really see things eye to eye, even Laika used to think the same. I always thought that she is similar to you since she was outgoing and cheerful like you, but I was proven wrong. She is much more… sassy, but she wouldn't forget to be polite or to be respectful to others and is a bit mature. There are times when she's a bit of a spaz and reckless, but she shows more control than you do. The things that stood out from her is her ability to understand others and her kindness. I used to think that her personality is somewhat a mix between yours and Rockman, with a feminine side to it."
"I see." Netto chuckled at it, remembering how she used to act like that towards him and his friends, back in his foster world.
"After saving Blues, we began to understand one another and became friends. As Laika went back to his home country, I became her partner. At first, yes, I was protecting her as a friend… but…" Enzan trailed off.
"It developed into something more." Netto supplied.
"Yeah… and I wasn't the only one, Blues got attracted to Rouge too." he said and the said red navi appears on his shoulder.
"Well… you're the one who got attracted to Sora-chan first" Blues said, crossing his arm. "And you didn't even know it was a crush at the beginning."
"Dense much?" Netto snickered as the bi-colored hair boy glares at him.
"Shut up, Hikari." Enzan snapped and the reploid just shrugs it off. "… Anyway, like Blues said, I didn't know it was a crush at first. I thought it was annoyance till Annetta corrected it for me after the Cyberbeast war, and I started to deny over it. That is until the Cache incident…"
"Oh I remember that." Netto said, and he launch into the story on how he got back to their world as a ghost. He told Enzan on how he helped Sora and Rockman cross fused for that moment, and how he helped her on the fight by giving the three special Soul Unison. After that… he left and didn't know what happen to her till her arrival to the other world.
"I see… so that's why…" Enzan said, placing his hand on his chin then looks at him. "After that fight, she was dying and we rushed her to a hospital. She then went into a coma for 3 months due to the extreme exhaustion from it." And Netto's jaw drops in shock, he didn't know that the three Soul Unison actually drained her energy nearly all out. Enzan notice his shock face and sighs. "It's the past, Netto, there's nothing you can do about it." he said.
"But I almost killed her with it!" the redhead exclaimed.
"But she came out fine." the two boys turns to see Sora above the stairs, is wearing a bathrobe and is drying her hair. "Netto, stop doing the emo and it's not your fault. In fact, I'm glad you did that."
"Eh?" Netto is stupefied and Rockman appears on the coffee table.
"I agree with her." Rockman said and he stared at his navi. "If you didn't showed up and gave us those 3 Soul Unisons, we wouldn't be able to defeat Cache and free everybody from him… we also wouldn't find out that you're still alive somewhere."
"Yeah, basically you did what's right but you didn't know the side effects of it." Sora said, and then takes her PET out. "I'm gonna dry my hair and get dress, so…" she tosses her PET to her brother, who caught it and places it on the table. "Be back in 30 minutes!" she shouts as she heads back to her room.
"So… what happened? How did you cope in that situation?" Netto asked, looking back at his guest.
"As Sora sleeps, my mind went into 'what if' mode and I began asking myself whether I truly love her or not. And I'm still in that situation even when she woke up, eventually I decided to put it aside for a while to concentrate on work." Enzan said and shift on his seat. "Then different adventures came in our way and it caused me to realize the truth and become overprotective on her… so did Blues to Rouge."
And the red navi's face turns red as his armor as Rouge appears, giggled and gives him a hug, as both Rockman and Netto refrains on laughing at him. Enzan began telling each different adventures he and Sora got into, there are times Laika is with them and there are times they do it as partners. He also told him that there are times she saved him from danger and vice versa, or Laika would saved them and… well, they're basically just saving one another. The young reploid would smile at the stories where his sister would remind Enzan and Laika that they are still kids, despite being treated as adults by others.
"Oh… that reminds me…" Netto remembered. "When Meiru-chan has a crush on me and attempts to flirt, my friends said I was too oblivious to notice that she likes me… what about you and my sister, are in the same situation as I am?"
"Actually, it's bit of the other way, I'm the one who's doing the 'puppy-love' and denials while she minds her own business… and other people's love life." Enzan stated.
"Eh?" Netto asked, confused by this.
"Did you know that Princess Pride got a boyfriend and they are about to be engage soon?" Enzan asked, and Netto shook his head and is surprise. "At least did you notice her dancing with someone back at Yaito's party?" he asked.
"… No, I was too busy avoiding Meiru." Netto said, rubbing the back of his head and Enzan sighs.
"It's Laika-kun." Rouge answered and Netto's eyes widens like saucer plates.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" He exclaimed, and the three navis and a human boy nodded. His jaw dropped for the second time.
"Netto-kun… Netto-kun! NETTO-KUN!" Rockman shouts, knocking him out of his stupor. "Are you okay?" his older brother asked.
"Y-yeah… but if Laika does marries her, then that is going to make him… A prince?" Netto exclaimed and everyone in the room nodded.
"It's funny don't you think?" Rouge said and the boys look at her. "No one would think that Pride-chan and Laika-kun are quite a match, or to see the day Enzan-kun would come in good term with his dad and he accepted Sora as his son's girlfriend."
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Freeze on that part!" Netto said loudly and they looked at him, as he looks at Enzan. "I thought you and your father never get along." he said.
"Um… yeah, I was getting to that part. " Enzan said and Netto is still staring at him.
"You know, you might burn holes into my boyfriend's head if you keep staring at him like that." a voice called out and they turn once again to see Sora in a gown.
And for the third time of the day, Netto's jaw dropped.
"Nice." Rouge said with a smile, as her NetOp walks down the stairs and seat with Enzan. "Shock?" she asked, looking at the slack-jaw boy and he nodded. "Um… why don't we cut to the chase, so he could understand what's going on."
"Right… After those adventures, accepting the fact that I'm in love with your sister and hiding in fear of rejections… We were not prepared on this new adventure we were forced in, a year ago." Enzan said grimly, and Netto looks at him.
"It all started…" Blues spoke up. "When black men kidnapped us along with others and some families, saved for Laika and Searchman who's in Sharo, Meijin who's on his leave and Rockman who manage to escape into the safety of the SciLab system. We didn't know what happened to our operators after that."
"And to help further into our story, Netto, I'd like you to meet Meer and Persona." Sora said as took out another PET from her small bag and a pair of navis jumps out of it.
The first one looks near similar to Layer back in Reploidian but with short blonde hair and visible purple eyes from her blue visor, she wears a gray jumpsuit with black chest armor, gauntlets and boots. On her head is a light gray headphone, and has a collapsible gun strap at her back.
The second navi is a boy about the size of a toddler and wears a green suit, gloves and boots with a small mixture of red and dark blue. He has a long white tail poking out of his helmet and has a purple visor which is clear enough for anyone to see his eyes. Also his helmet has three horns and Netto could swear that this kid could be the child of Blues and Rouge.
But can Net Navis get pregnant?
"Hello." the female navi said, snapping Netto back to his senses. "You must be Lady Sora's little brother, Netto... I'm Meer, a D-WARD navi and currently SciLab's head security navi."
"Um… nice to meet you, Meer." Netto said.
"Likewise Netto-sama." Meer replied and he looks at his sister.
"Sorry, she's way too formal and Grandpa made her." Sora said, shrugging a bit and moves her hand on the littlest navi "And this is Persona, he is supposed to be a unique navi but his twisted NetOp messed him up and… he is like this now."
Now Netto rubbed his audio receptors a bit when he heard a sad tone in her voice, and flinches when he saw the sad smiles on their faces. "Okay, so tell me what happen?" his voice is now full of concern for the two.
The two looked at one another and they both nodded. "Okay… It all started when-" Enzan began.
"I woke up in someone else's life…"
:::^Flashback… a year ago.^:::
"Enzan-sama… Enzan-sama." a voice called at the boy in the bed, but he just rolled over and ignored it.
"Enzan-sama, it's time to wake up" but once again ignored.
"Enzan-sama, you're going to be late for school." that waked him up and rubs his eyes.
"What? I don't go to school." he snapped and after rubbing his sleep, he gasped… this wasn't his room. The room he's in is quite small with shelves filled with books and figures, a computer and PET charger on the table near the balcony door. But what shocked him the most… is the PET on the table.
"Rouge…?" he said.
"Hai Enzan-sama?" as the familiar dark blue navi appears but something is not quite right. And a closer look confirms it… she shows no emotion at all. The female navi was quite puzzled on her NetOp's behavior, then again it is wise to shut up.
"W-where am I?" he asked.
"In your room… why is there something wrong?" she asked.
"Yes!" Enzan screeched. "This is not my room! Where's Sora?"
"Sora?" Rouge asked.
"Your NetOp!" he snapped.
"But you're my NetOp." she said and stares at him with worry.
"… Where am I?" Enzan asked.
"You're in the Hikari residence, located-" but Enzan cuts her off.
"That's enough." he said and rubbed his forehead. He thinks a few things over and then… "Rouge… who am I?" he asked.
The female navi made a small smile which vanish in seconds, this made Enzan think that something is definitely wrong in this scenario. Because Rouge is quite an emotional navi similar to another blue navi he knows.
"You're Hikari Enzan, the only child of-"
"Whoa! Wait!"
"You mean to tell me that you've switched lives with my sister?" Netto asked in surprise.
"Yeah…and it's the worse life I lived in." Enzan added.
"But wasn't So- err… I mean Hikari Enzan a hero since he is living in Sora's life."
"Well…actually-" but Enzan got cut off by Meer.
"It's those filthy net mafia, they defiled the program your grandfather worked hard for." Meer hissed.
"Grandpa made that program?" Netto asked.
"Yeah… after Tadashi-sama died, net crimes all over the world would aim for the projects he left behind. Of course, we D-WARD navis were created to protect that projects from those filthy hands, until his family members decides to take them. We're pretty much doing a good job at it but…" Meer paused and looks at Persona. "He came."
"Huh? But that can he do?" Netto asked, looking at the small navi.
"Netto, like you as a New Generation Reploid, Persona has the ability to copy any form of any navi by just taking a small sample of a navi's data." Sora stated and all Netto could do it to stare at the small navi, who's currently hugging Rouge and telling her how he missed her. "Unlike Cache, who can also create copies, this poor little guy was used for the stolen project."
"What do you mean?" Netto asked.
"I can forgive him for what he did back then, but I cannot forgive his NetOp on what he did to him, to the project and to Lady Sora." Meer said angrily with crossed arms. "She serves right to rot in hell."
"Mind we go back to the story?" Netto asked, hoping this would calm her down.
"I apologize, Netto-sama." Meer said. "I believe you can explain this part, Lady Sora."
"Right…" she muttered, ignoring her reploid brother snickering at her. "So when I woke up in Enzan's life and my memory was modified so I didn't suspect much of a thing. The net mafia was too concentrated on me to notice the program that should change Enzan's memory didn't sink in."
"But why are they concentrated on you?" Netto asked.
"First reason, I have a link with our older brother who tries to contact me but he ends up giving me migraines, they didn't know about it but they found it a disturbance to their plan." Sora said and looks the blue navi who mouthed 'I said I was sorry.' "Second reason, I was having déjà vu moments every time I do something and I always see things out of place. And third, for revenge… they want me to kill Enzan and myself." and he was shock by this.
"Some of the mafia members were former board members of the IPC who didn't accepted Enzan-kun as the vice president, while others are criminals whom they arrested in the past." Rockman explained.
"Let's not forget a loopy heiress who just didn't accept that she lost to Sora." Rouge quipped. "I swear she is a lot worse than Yaito-chan."
"Oh yeah that too." Rockman said.
"Heiress?" Netto asked.
"I'll explain that another time, Netto." Sora said. "As they keep an eye on me, they didn't notice the mistakes they made…"
"The fact that Enzan still have his real memories and when they stole one of our grandpa's project… a security navi got snag along. Knowing about my obsession on the supernatural, she sets up a meeting place on the edge of the fabricated town… a haunted bus stop."
"Blues-kun, are you okay?" Sora asked, looking at her partner who got dizzy by impact of the fall. After escaping her bodyguards and running off from a meeting, she immediately went to the said haunted area. But from a block from the area, a force suddenly knocks her PET off her holster.
"Hai, Sora-chan, I'm okay." the red navi said and shook his head.
"That's good." Sora said and sets her PET on the bench, thinking that something is definitely off. "Now wait here, I'm going to take a look on that bus stop."
"Wait! Sora-chan!" Blues shrieked but too late, she's gone.
Sora went around the corner and there she saw the bus stop. It is empty, quite old, dust have covered the seats and there is a hole on the roof. Wanting the see the ghost, she went on the bus stop and sat on one of the seats. She waited…
And then a sound was heard.
PING!
She turns to see a girl, around preteens and wears a overlarge white sweater with a tank top and shorts beneath it, also it covers her hands. She also have brown boots, a strange headphone and she have a rabbit plushy backpack. Her eyes are green and blonde hair, and she seems to be happy on seeing her.
"Hello... what's your name?" she asked.
"Ah… Ijuin Miriku Sora, I'm sure you heard of me, right?" Sora said, but quickly backs away when the girl's eyes narrowed. She once again she went near and looks at her, and she went into a fit.
"How dare they!" she shrieks, causing Sora to jump about a foot. "I let them use this, I let them merge the program with another, I let them put their minds into it but… this… has gone TOO FAR!" she screamed the last part. She then took deep breaths and calms down, she then looks at the slightly freaked out brunette and she smiled once more.
"Sorry… I'm Meer, a D-WARD navi of TerraByte and the protector of this portal." she said and places her hand on the girl's head. "The life you've been living in is a lie… let me return your real memories to you… Hikari Miriku Sora."
"TerraByte…? Wait I remember about that…"
"Isn't that the project that would allow the computer to connect to the mind?" Netto asked, although he sounds a bit unsure.
"That's right, but it's much more to that, Netto-sama." Meer confirms it and looks at the redhead. "It's more on bringing the system into the mind, thus unlocking what lies hidden in it… You see what your grandfather intended for the project is to help people with mental illness. It can be use as a prison for it can fool a person thinking he/she is in the real world, but in fact he/she is in his/her inner mind. It is also fatal for what will happen to the person in TerraByte, will also happen in the real world. So if you were killed in TerraByte, your brain will shut down in the real world."
Netto could only stare stiff as he let the information sink in and he twitch a bit. "So how did they cope the fact that they are living in… deep within their minds?" he asked carefully.
"I know Sora can cope any situation that are thrown at her, Enzan-kun however…" Rouge said looking at the dual-hair boy, who just gave her a look and she nodded once. "He couldn't." she stated, placing a hand on the toddler's head beside her.
"You see… Sora is quite forward, optimistic and understanding, it wasn't a problem for her to adapt anywhere. Enzan-kun, however, is reserved, keeps emotions in check and too mature, that spells disaster within the mind." the dark blue navi explained.
"Eh?" Persona asked, tilting his head at the curiously.
"What Rouge meant is… Lady Sora is very open to people and more experienced while Enzan-sama has barriers around him to prevent being harm. But when they are placed in TerraByte, Lady Sora wasn't harm much aside from the modified memories. And Enzan-sama… he was a prisoner by his own barriers and hidden fears within his mind." Meer explained.
"But how did they get out of the TerraByte?" Netto asked.
"The program, TerraByte, has many problems during it's development but the mafia found a solution for that… a gruesome solution." Blues said, looking at Persona with concern. "They used a navi as the very body and mind of that program… and because Persona has the ability to shape-shift…"
"What? That's horrible! How could they do that?" Netto shriek in shock.
"They're blind by revenge, Netto, they're blind." Sora noted, crossing her arm then continues with the story. "After I got my memories back, I decided to act as if I was still under there program and Meer took form of a bird, watching over me. Of course, they didn't suspect her since she was a security navi and part of the program. As I investigate and find a way out, I did notice Enzan is acting weird and I realized that he's the real deal. But I couldn't help him because I was heavily watched, so I've sent Meer to watch over him."
"I wasn't easy for the both of us to move, but we eventually found a temporary solution… by mimicking what the net mafia did to Persona, Lady Sora was able to contact her brother for a short while." Meer said.
"Wait…" Netto said and stares at the D-WARD navi. "You used yourself as the TerraByte?"
"Believe me… her ideas are always risky, but they worked." Rouge noted.
Although the young reploid stuttered about it, he silence himself and listens more on their tale. He soon learn that Meer was able to withstand the pressure of shape-shifting and took form of Sora's inner mind, which happened to take form of the Crouse Farm where she grew up. Meer and Sora's TerraByte hid itself deep within the system, and they created birds to observe the activity in the other. They also gave out clue for Enzan to help out and to give him hope that he's not alone in this.
Rockman then told his side of the story. After the kidnapping, he, Laika and Meijin along with the Net Agents and Raoul were searching for the kidnappers. They learn about the net mafia called Egress, it's activities and they are not much of a big threat till the incident. He tries to communicate with his sister but no response… till she does and they got a breakthrough. Because of that, they found the hideout and saved them.
Meer then added that while they're in the TerraByte, Persona-Blues or P-Blues finds out the truth and decided to help Sora and her friends to get out. Enzan gathered the clues he needed and did a roll call to the others, which ended up a disaster when a serial killer came for him. Throwing the act off, Sora and Meer manage to get Enzan and the others to safety at the haunted bus stop and in their TerraByte. But it crumbles when Persona broke down at the disappearance of his NetOp and Meer could not support hers without his form. Because of that, they have to rush back into the enemy zone and faced creatures with no faces. It wasn't a problem for Sora since she's pretty much used on shifting reality by her will, the only thing is that they are in someone's mind so she can only do little. Sora and Enzan got separated from the group while outrunning the creatures. Then the replicate navis came out of their PETs to protect them, later Rockman, Searchman and the other real navis arrived to get them out.
But not without a price…
Sora witnessed Persona-Blues deletion and Persona-Rouge sacrificed herself on getting them out…
After that… Egress are behind jail and everyone took a week of therapy to heal their mind. But one was still stuck in a nightmare… Enzan. While everyone moves on, he was constantly having nightmares of the times in the TerraByte, the replica navis and his past with his father. Netto did noticed the scars on the dual-boy's wrist, signifying that he tried to commit suicide at that time. A month after that incident, Blues came to Sora's PET to get help for his NetOp, and thankfully she agreed.
Sora then told her side of the story, but not much since Enzan is a bit uncomfortable right now. She told her brother about Enzan's poor state and how she took care of him. A week after watching over him, she went to IPC to talk about it with his father. However, he is currently busy finding something important for his company.
"What? What the hell is more important than Enzan's illness?" Netto asked.
"Ah… err…" Rockman said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Eh he he." Rouge just smiled, while Sora stared somewhere off.
"Sora…" Enzan said, looking at her.
"Um… he was busying… looking a bride for you, Enzan-sama." Blues said sheepishly and Enzan just looks at his navi.
"Are you serious?" he asked.
"What Blues said is true, minna-san… and surprisingly, Sora was part of that list." Rockman said, this time, Enzan's jaw drops.
"Well… what do you expect when you're the granddaughter of Hikari Tadashi, the daughter of Hikari Yuuichiro and the niece of a CEO of a high ranking, British company?" Sora asked sourly, crossing her arms in annoyance and looking away while Enzan and Netto are shock at the last part.
"I guess they didn't know mom's side of the family…" Rockman muttered, noticing his brother's and Enzan's shock face. "We'll explain that another time." he added.
Sora then told them about her encounter with Enzan's dad, how she interact with him and her reaction on his answer to her. Enzan smiled and Netto snickered after learning that she did a drop-kick on the CEO's table and broke out of anger, when he answered that watching over his son is a waste of time. After that, she went back and took care of Enzan again till they heard from the SciLab, that a part of his mind as left in TerraByte. Hoping to get him well, they took the risk and dive into the TerraByte once more.
Inside, they found Persona and learned that P-Blues and P-Rouge are part of him, and then they met someone else. It's the memory data of Hikari Enzan, which took form as the new TerraByte and want to kill them. Of course, learning about the truth about TerraByte, they get an edge on the fight. After Enzan confront his counterpart, Yuuichiro downloaded Persona's data and both Sora and Enzan got back safely. And TerraByte… is gone, not a trace of data or notes left behind.
"A week after that, SciLab appointed Meer as the new head security and Persona went into our care. We have to swap him time to time and he seems fine with the changing environment." Sora said, finishing her story.
"I see, but I still don't get how you got his dad to come in good term with him." Netto said, scratching his head.
"Ah…" Blues said, and everyone looks at him. "Let's say, she managed to scare the wits out of him." And the two boys look at one another and looks at her.
"Well… if you can't persuade him, try to scare and impress him." She said with a shrug.
"Netto." Persona said, and Netto looks at the toddler navi which sucking on his hand and held out the other. "Shake."
"Uh… okay." Netto said and lends out a finger for the toddler navi… Then something happens, something glowed on Netto's chest for a second and went to the finger. The light shot at Persona and hit's the icon, sending the small navi back. "Ah!" he yelped in alert.
"Persona!" Blues shouts and catches him as he fell… but why did he felt that he got three?
And the two began crying.
"Blues! Persona! Are you-" Rockman got cut off on what he saw.
"Rockman, is Per-" Rouge also got cut off and the two humans and the young reploid just stared in shock…
In Blues arms are Persona and two baby-type navi which looks like the red navi and Rouge, except they have different colors: Baby "Blues" has a two tone grey jumpsuit and a light blue armor, while Baby "Rouge" has a yellow jumpsuit and wears the old version of Rouge's armor but in orange color. And both are wailing.
"No way…" Netto said.
"It's… Persona-Blues and Persona-Rouge." Sora said weakly.
:::^*^:::
Later…
In the limo, Sora is leaning on Enzan as they head for the company ball of GEAS. Both content and smiling.
"Ne, you think Netto and Rockman can handle babysitting Persona and the two babies?" Rouge asked, appearing on her NetOp's shoulder along with Blues.
"I'm sure they can, Rockman has an experience, thanks to Trill… Netto is friendly to kids, but I'm not sure if he have experience on babies." Sora noted, as she sat straight and looks at the two navis.
"But, I'm still wondering… how did Netto separated Persona, P-Rouge and P-Blues?" Enzan asked.
"Well, Netto is a New Generation Reploid and he can copy any mechaniloid or reploid by taking it's DNA. Maybe his copy chip and some of his system sent Persona some data and that happened." Sora guessed.
"I guess we should thank him once we get back from the ball." the dual hair boy said.
"Yeah… we will." she replied with a smile and leans back.
:::^*^:::
"Poor sweet thing… they hurt you? Now don't you cry, my dear… Come… I'll help you get your precious back"
With a wicked smile, both vanished into the night.
Silver: Being gone for a month is bad and can cause plot bunnies to mutate and multiply… Ah! (runs away from the mutated plot bunnies.) I swear, upon the TerraByte part, the story took off on it's own! HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
