Chapter 2: Smart move, stupid!
Diffusion woke up to freezing cold jabbings in her right shoulder. She yawned.
"Uhn... I'm up, sir." Diffusion said, crankily. "What is the problem?" Juno materialized, and tugged at her arm in a half panic, half pushy state. Diffusion blinked, looking at the state Juno looked like he was in.
"....WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT THE REPORT OF REGULUS' REACTIVATION ARE TRUE?" Diffusion asked, completely forgetting her manners. Juno's insistance got rougher.
"Forgive my ill manners. This is a serious situation, it must be reported to Mo-"
Juno slapped Diffusion across the face. Normally, the well mannered beaurocratic unit only attacked when it was going to discipline someone, or in self defense, so Diffusion knew he was upset with her.. Diffusion rubbed her face.
"I..." Diffusion looked mildly shocked. Juno was ready to carry her whereever he wanted her to go himself before Diffusion got up and went over to the main PC. Juno seemed to stare over her shoulder in curiousity. Diffusion finished typing her commands and a massive capsule rose slowly from the ground. Juno stared at Diffusion before vanishing. Diffusion walked over and opened it. Inside was a figure with soft medium length purple hair; white and black armor, and no visible weapon. It seemed calm, as it's eyes opened; silvery, and it glanced around before smiling weakly.
"Medley... I thank you." It said. It seemed a little perky. Rather, he. Diffusion winced at the words as Juno rose, floating.
"Now, I must locate Regulus." The unit said, and stalked out. Diffusion sighed.
"Juno...."
"Who're you?" Andromeda looked at the man, tilting her head to one side. He walked up to Andromeda and took her chin by one finger.
"I..." He breathed. "Am Unit Regulus. You must be Unit Andromeda. I am... CHARMED to meet you." Regulus touched his lips to Andromeda's lightly, before she slapped him. He jerked back, rubbing his face.
"Impertinant little..." Regulus was getting, to say the least, miffed. Andromeda glared darkly.
"Don't touch me, you.... You..." Andromeda snarled. Regulus seemed incredibly smug.
"Feisty... I like that in a woman. But for now... You must die." Regulus drew his arm back, forming a cannon. Andromeda jumped back, alarmed. Suddenly Regulus whipped the cannon forward and fired a laser. Andromeda stared a second, then ran, every impulse telling her that lasers were a surefire way to end the day on a sour note. Fast. Andromeda soon dove down, the laser grazing her arm. Regulus prepared another shot as Andromeda bolted out the door, and past Ryou. Ryou trilled in suprise and followed in a flurry of speed. Andromeda scurried out of the ruin, Ryou following, and they dove into hiding as Regulus ran past. Once clear, Andromeda examined her arm.
"I'm gonna need lots of bandages...." Andromeda muttered. Ryou nuzzled against her. Andromeda stroked his beak and settled to rest in the bushes. Ryou, although massive and barely hidden, draped a wing over Andromeda protectively as she lie on her unijured side, trying to keep her arm from bleeding too badly.
He arrived on the island in a matter of hours. He'd gained an enchanced flight capability thanks to small thrusters Diffusion had been thoughtful enough to install in his suit. He didn't understand, all he worried about was dealing with the situation at hand. He calmly floated for the tomb Regulus had been sealed in, glancing at his surrounding warily. Finally, he thought he saw a wing. However, it vanished into the brush. Juno reached to part the brush, and blinked in suprise. A white bird-like Reaverbot had a wing draped over a girl in black with blonde hair, who looked like she was sleeping. Spotting him, the Reaverbot gave a shrill cry of suprise that made the girl woke with a start.
"Ryou? What? What!?" She looked at Ryou. Ryou nudged her good arm urgently.
"What's wro-WAAHH!" Andromeda looked at their 'company' in suprise.
"Who...?" Andromeda looked genuinely puzzled. Juno blinked again, then lifted her out of the brush.
"Unit Andromeda...?" He sounded suprised. Adromeda squirmed, to no avail.
"Who ARE you?!" Andromeda demanded. Juno ignored her struggles and took to examining her arm, pinning her firmly in one arm as he spoke.
"My designation is Megaman Juno. Is your memory faulty?" Juno asked, as he finished looking over her arm. Andromeda wriggled.
"What the hell? You sound like a Reaverbot!" Andromeda growled. Juno stared her in the face.
"Define 'Reaverbot'." Juno said. Andromeda, uncomfortable with being stared at, decided to answer, figuring keepoing silent woul't be good for her health.
"A type of Machine that lives underground." Andromeda explained. Juno didn't change expressions. Andromeda sweatdropped at the smiling Reaverbot as he finally put her arm down. Juno seemed to hesitate before draping his arms around her and squeezing tightly.
"AUGH! IT'S GONNA KILL ME WITH HUGS!" Andromeda managed to squawk before Juno continued, only making her mental state worse. She fought against the attention to no avail.
"YOU WORRIED ME ANDROMEDA." Juno said with a slightly harsh tone. Andromeda could only wonder what he was so happy about, and if he was that intellegent. She finally wriggled free and jumped back.
"G..Get away from me!" Andromeda said, shuddering. Juno tilted his head to one side, looking like a puzzled puppy.
IWhy... Is Andromeda not functioning properly?/I Juno pondered. IIs her memory malfunctioning?/I Juno felt slightly scared; he didn't want to lose his sister, not after all they'd been through in their younger years. Medley's death and current incarnation hurt enough, but now this... Juno finally slumped to the ground. Andromeda blinked at him in puzzlement.
"What's wrong with you? How do you know me? And why do you smile like that?" Andy asked. Juno looked Andromeda in the eyes, his own reflecting a deep sorrow.
"I promised someone long ago I would not stop smiling like this, and a beaurocratic unit has a priority to keep any oaths it may take." Juno said back. Andromeda blinked.
"I see... I think. I thought it was a mask." Andromeda said with a shrug. The half-assed conversation was interrupted by Ryou glancing up and around in a panic.
"Ryou?" Andromeda blinked. Ryou fluttered, alarmed.
"He's coming..." The alarmed pheonix type said, fluttering his wings. Andromeda leapt to her feet.
"Aw... SHIT."
Diffusion woke up to freezing cold jabbings in her right shoulder. She yawned.
"Uhn... I'm up, sir." Diffusion said, crankily. "What is the problem?" Juno materialized, and tugged at her arm in a half panic, half pushy state. Diffusion blinked, looking at the state Juno looked like he was in.
