Hey everyone! Thanks to everyone who reviewed for the last chapter! Here is what I have to say to everyone who did!
Spellcaster Hikaru: Wow… you reviewed twice. I feel special! So here's your update!
Aerith Queen of Cetra: Thanks so much! I'm glad you like the story!
???: I'm glad you like the story. And I'm trying to be as descriptive as possible without confusing you
Kayono: You got the 4th Megaman game? No fair… ;; As for your question, in the first megaman game, I think Protoman was there when Dr Hikari explained that Megaman was Hub and Hub was Lan's brother. So probably yes. Thanks for the cake too! Chocolate isn't my fav, but I still like! (eats part of her cake) Yummie --
Rock Raider: Oh gosh, I hadn't even thought about Rei(the operator) and Rei.exe meeting… but you can be sure that there may be some meets with former WWW members. And maybe some not-so-former members… (evil chuckle) but Niisan is Japanese for 'older brother'
The Great Aussi Evil: Well, I'm continuing! Do I take it that you like the story?
The Evil Cadet: I know the past few chaps have been a bit short, so I'm making up for it in this chapter.
Russa: Yea, that blast from Bass had to hurt. But I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long
Tinyxchamp: Hey, thanks a lot!
Black RoseL Me: Thanks kewl! You'll have to find out by reading, won't you?
Jill: Don't worry, this fic is NOT going down the drain, trust me.

Crystalstorm21: You get to find out now!
Chaos Kid: Well, here's an update
Anime Master ZERO: Actually I haven't gotten that game yet. I just have some friends who informed me of some of this stuff. Though I really want that game though…. TT
This chapter will be in Protoman's POV. Please pardon me for any Protoman OOCness, but it is quite hard to write in character for him. There will also be lots of hints of implied shounen-ai. Just a warning for all of you. If you don't like it, just ignore it. Besides that, enjoy!
Tenshi no Rei
The Phoenix's Demon
Chapter 12- Rei wants to join the WHAT?!
---Protoman's POV---
"You're Lan?!" I exclaimed. Rei nodded.
"Yes, I am." Rei or Lan said. I felt a bit of confusion and shock. Mind you, I had my suspicions for a while now. In a lot of ways, Rei acted like Lan. Very cheerful and happy but there was also a side of seriousness. It was one of the many things I liked about him. But Rei turning out to be Lan also explained why he considered Megaman to be an older brother. Probably because Megaman WAS his older brother. I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Rei staring at me.
"So then…if you're Lan brought back as a navi, who was the girl?" I asked. Rei blinked.
"Oh. She's my prototype. You already met her. She's Adele." Rei stated simply. Of all the people that Rei could have mentioned, I had not expected that. Speaking of Rei, what was this strange emotion that coursed throughout my body whenever I was near that navi? It was a strange feeling that was new to me. It scared me slightly to thing that I actually liked the feeling. It was a light, fluttery feeling. Oh dang it! What am I talking about? I must be tired! I'll have to recharge once I get back to Chaud. Wait a minute! What do I do about Chaud? Do I tell him about Rei? I snapped myself back to reality when I heard Rei calling me.
"Proto? Are you alright?" Rei asked, his voice and eyes filled with worry. I nodded to reassure him.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just thinking." Rei nodded.
"Ok… but you're not going to… yell at me… are you?" I looked at him, shocked.
"Why would I do that?" I asked him. Rei looked at the ground.
"Because Megaman did…I wasn't sure if you were going to yell too." Rei looked about ready to cry. A few tears slipped down his face. I knew I was going to regret this later, but I hesitantly put my arms around Rei in a small hug. Rei gasped slightly in shock and then hugged back, which took me by surprise. When Rei looked up at me, his eyes were shimmering with happiness.
"Rei, Protoman, did you two know about the new cyber theatre?" Dr Hikari asked with a slight wink. I blushed slightly but Rei didn't seem to have noticed the wink. Rei was plain ecstatic.
"Really Papa? There is? That sounds like so much fun! Doesn't that seem like fun to you, Protoman?" Rei chatted happily. I blinked in surprise. I just don't know how that navi can have such high energy levels.
"Um… yea, I guess… Well, I'd better get going." I stated and started off when Rei grabbed onto my arm.
"No! I want you to come with me! It's no fun being by myself!" Rei exclaimed. If you were to say that I was uncomfortable by now, you would be correct.
"Umm…I need to check with Chaud." I said quickly. It wasn't that I didn't want to go with Rei, it was that what if Chaud need me? Plus, I still wasn't very sure about those emotions I felt when I was around Rei.
"Oh…okay…can I come with you?" Rei asked out of the blue.
-----Normal POV------
"Well…alright. I suppose so." Protoman said. Rei nearly jumped for joy. Rei once again hugged Protoman. Protoman blushed a shade of red that was the same as his armor.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you Protoman!" Rei exclaimed. Even though he didn't really want to, Protoman gently pried the younger navi off him. He did, after all, have a reputation to keep.
"Papa! I'm gonna go with Protoman and see if Chaud will let him go to the theatre!" Dr Hikari nodded.
"Alright then. Be careful. Both of you." Rei and Protoman nodded. Protoman led Rei to his homepage and decided to check up with Chaud.
"Chaud, sir, I've returned." Protoman said. A communication box appeared in front of Protoman to show Chaud.
"What happened?" Chaud asked. As an official, it was his duty to know what happened.
"As Rei said in his email, Bass attacked the Sci-Lab. But it appears that Bass was not after any info. He was after Rei himself." Protoman explained to his operator.
"Do we know why Bass was after Rei?" Protoman hesitated a moment then shook his head.
"No sir, we do not know why. By the way, are you going to be needing me this afternoon?" Protoman asked, seeing Rei waving like crazy from the shadows. Protoman sweat dropped at the younger navi's energy levels.
"No, you can have the afternoon off. Why though?" Chaud asked.
"Because Rei wants to go to the new cyber theatre. He would take Megaman, but Megaman is still injured from the fight with Bass." Chaud grinned slightly.
"Oh really? And just where –is- Rei?" Chaud asked, trying to keep the amusement out of his voice. Rei jumped out of the shadows and ran over to Protoman.
"Hello!" Rei exclaimed, waving to Chaud. Chaud blinked, taken back by the navi's enthusiasm.
"Hell, Rei. So I hear that you want to take Protoman to the new cyber theatre?" Chaud asked, still grinning. Rei nodded eagerly.
"Yea! Can he please come? Please??" Rei asked. Chaud made himself look like he was thinking hard about that. A moment later, he agreed.
"Sure. I believe Protoman could use a break. Have fun." Chaud said and the communication box vanished. Protoman meanwhile, was blushing.
"Come on Protoman!" Rei exclaimed. He quickly followed the link to the theatre. Protoman sighed and followed Rei. A few moments later, the two appeared in front of a gigantic building, which apparently was the theatre. Protoman was used to big buildings, but Rei was dumbfounded.
"Oh wow! It's so big!" Rei exclaimed. Protoman nodded and led the two inside. The inside of the theatre hallway was lined in red velvet and gold railings. If Rei wasn't already shocked, he was now. In fact, Rei was so shocked, he couldn't speak. So instead, he looked around. At the end of the hallway were two doors about 10 feet apart. In the wall between the two doors, was a sign. Protoman went over and read the sign out loud.
" 'To the left is the movie theatre playing 'love and loss'. To the right is the drama theatre performing the musical 'Annie'.' Hmm… interesting…what do you want to see, Rei?" Protoman asked. Rei paused a moment then answered.
"Why not Annie, I suppose?" Protoman nodded then went through the door on the right with Rei following. Rei looked around in awe. In the way front there was a gigantic stage that was at least 50 feet wide! A red curtain made sure that no one could see any scenery before the show. The things that that shocked Rei the most were the seats. There were thousands of cushioned seats. In the back and sides of the theatre about 10 feet in the air were balcony seats. Rei wanted to get to sit in the balcony more than anything, but kept quiet. After all, the balcony seats were for –very- important people. Not for someone like him.
Protoman saw how much Rei wanted to go up there and formulated an idea. He smirked slightly.
"Rei, follow me please." Protoman instructed. Rei was a bit confused, but followed. Protoman led Rei to some stairs, where a guard navi stood.
"Halt! Identify yourselves!" The guards demanded.
"Identification: I am Protoman.exe, official netnavi. This is Rei.exe, he is with me." Protoman said, holding up his official's badge. The guard quickly stepped to the side.
"Go right ahead, sirs." Protoman nodded.
"Thank you. Come on, Rei." Rei nodded and followed Protoman up the stairs, not knowing where his friend was leading him. Once Rei reached the top of the stairs and looked around, he was in shock. Protoman had gotten him a balcony seat!
"Oh wow, oh wow! Thank you sooo much Protoman!" Rei exclaimed, hugging Protoman. Protoman blushed and gently pushed the younger navi into a seat and then sat next to him. A few minutes later, the play started.
----After the Show----
"Wow! That was really good, don't you think, Protoman?" Rei asked. Protoman shrugged.
"It was alright." He said. Rei laughed.
"Oh come on! I know you enjoyed it as much as I did." Protoman thought for a moment then reluctantly agreed.
"Yes, I suppose so." Rei then said something that he had been thinking for a while.
"You know, I wanna-" Rei whispered the rest. Whatever was said, Protoman's eyes grew wide.
"You want to WHAT?!" Protoman exclaimed in shock.
"I wanna join the theatre!" Rei repeated cheerfully wearing a broad grin.
(laughs) Now how many people saw that coming? (cricket chirps) That's what I thought. Anyhow, looks like things are getting interesting for Rei and Protoman.
Well, my friend wrote an omake for this story. What's an omake, you may ask? An omake is a short, humorous little bit of writing that is dependant on the story. If you want to write an omake for this story, I'd be glad to read it. Just email it to me and please don't send it in a review. If you need an example, read this one that my friend wrote.
Fire-chan: This came to my mind a bit after I read the chapter on Protoman finding out who Rei is, I hope you all enjoy this little bit of laughter I give you all.
Tenshi no Rei
Omake- Dress Up
By Firehedgehog
"Yes," Rei said, Protoman could only gasp... Rei was Lan.
"Then why do you look like that, I always thought you would look different if you became a net navi?" Protoman asked pointing.
"Whaa...?" Rei said bewildered.
'At least protoman is taking it well, even if he is acting a bit weird' Rei thought with a sweatdrop.
"I think he looks fine," Dr. Hikari said, he was watching the two navi's.
"Um... what do you think I would look like?" Rei asked curious, okay... maybe a lot curious.
"Let me show you," Protoman said, moments later he and Rei were covered in a dust cloud.
Moments later the dust cloud faded away as Protoman finished, a changed Rei stood there.
"Okay... I can understand the leather and chains. WWW always called Lan a little punk, but what is with the whip?" Dr. Hikari asked.
Protoman blushed as red as his armor, Rei only blinked, bewildered.
THE END OF OMAKE
Well that's it, humor and a weird twist. It all for Humor, and (grins) I hope all you older people get my end joke... he heh he.
