First fanfic and I get three good reviews. Works for me! You want more? You got it. Again, all the characters are Capcom's.

Guardian Roommates: Chapter 2: Settling in.

We ended our previous chapter as Harpuia had so sacrifice his dignity and give Leviathan and Fefnir a ride to a nightclub that recently opened, but accidentally dropped them after a pigeon encounter. So we take off where we left off.

Harpuia kind of enjoyed his little mistake and chuckled a bit. He thought to himself: 'That was almost as satisfying as fighting Ze-'

Before he could finish his thought, an ice dragon came from under him, grabbed him by the neck, and sent him crashing down on the city. Within ten seconds he was reunited with his fellow former guardians, all in a dumpster.

Harpuia wasn't exactly satisfied with his body being covered in trash. "Ick."

Leviathan on the other hand had other thoughts in mind. "Ick? Ick? All you have to say is 'ick'? It's going to take at least a week to wash this smell out! And my hair's a mess!"

That didn't change Harpuia's mood. "Your head's made of metal."

Leviathan snapped back. "THAT'S NOT THE POINT! And what if...?"

Another journey into Leviathan's thoughts, into another possible battle with Zero. Again they are underwater, Zero had already equipped the flame chip, but Leviathan was wearing a jacket. "This time, I WILL defeat you, Zero!" was said by both.

"Uh... How did you know I was going to say that?" A dumbfounded Leviathan asked.

Zero leaned on his sword. "You always say that. Um, why are you wearing a jacket and a hood? Aren't you hot in there? And by the way, we're underwater."

Leviathan didn't want to give Zero an answer. "Don't play mind games with me, Zero!"

"I'm not. Hey, uh, you wanna go out for a movie?"

Leviathan snapped before she thought about it. "No! I... What? Zero-chan asked me on a date? Oh, how sweet! Zero's going to take me to a movie! Zero's going to take me to a movie! Woohoo!"

Zero's eyes widened. "Ah-HAH, I knew it! You really did have a crush on me! Oh, wait till I tell Ciel! Operator, take me back, we're done!"

Leviathan's face dropped. "NO!"

She charged at Zero, but she was too late. She took off her jacket and started crying, until her scythe picked up a transmission. Lucky for her, she's used to having a cell phone that was twice as big as her.

Zero was waving on the other side. "So it's a date? Hee hee..."

Ciel could be heard in the background. "Oh, Zero, we gotta rent you a tux!"

Zero freaked out. "NO! And um, nice hair, Levvie." He waved with a sinister smile as he hung up. Leviathan got on her knees, "GAAAHHH!"

Leviathan twiddled her fingers together. "No one must ever know..."

Harpuia didn't need to be a mind reader to understand his little sister's thoughts. "You really, really have some issues." He looked to his side. "Um, Fefnir, what are you doing?"

Fefnir was holding something in his hands. "Doggie! Oh, do you wive here? Do you wanna come home with Fefnir? Oh wes you do!"

Harpuia blankly stares at Fefnir cuddling with a puppy, while Leviathan still appears lost in her thoughts.

Harpuia rolled his eyes. "I'm surrounded by morons."

Leviathan finally snaps out of it and finds something she becomes familiar with, something with the words: "Bow down to the Cook" and a drawing of Zero's face with X's in his eyes. "Um, Harpuia, isn't this my apron? I thought you said it got destroyed when Fefnir blew up the lab when he tried to add a three foot battery to each of his guns, but here it is!"

Harpuia was ready to run. "Gotta go!"

Leviathan's eyes turned red. "Why... you...!" She grabbed Fefnir and started to chase Harpuia, who stopped at the end of the alley. The three crashed into each other.

Fefnir got up, holding the side of his head. "I was having a moment! What's the big deal?"

Harpuia hadn't moved. "We're here."

Their destination was across the street. The nightclub was called, "The Tower," and had flashing lights all over, loud bass noise, and a lot of people talking outside.

Harpuia just wanted the night to end. "Well, why don't we go-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Leviathan grabbed him by the neck. "I'M. A. MESS."

Fefnir's attention was elsewhere. "So let a car drive past you and let the water clean you up."

Before long Fefnir found himself back in the dumpster thanks to a roundhouse kick by Leviathan. "Doggie! Did you miss me?"

Harpuia put his hand on his head in grief, then turned to Lev. "You know, you could find a pool, make a few ice dragons, let Fefnir melt them and give yourself a hot bath to clean up."

Leviathan raised an eyebrow. "And where would we find a pool at this place and time?"

Harpuia pointed to the 'Summer Fun' store next to them. Strangely, they were still open and had plastic kiddie swimming pools at discount price.

Leviathan didn't like to be treated like a little girl. "You expect me to wash up in a kiddie pool?"

Harpuia didn't care. "It's this or we're going in the club."

Harpuia's Guardian discount card didn't work, so he robbed the store using a handy paper bag Leviathan found and gave him. He did have a bit of a hard time since Leviathan didn't bother to put holes for eyes; all she did was draw two little eyes and a smiley face on it. The clerk didn't even want to know, so he gave the pool to Harp the second he saw him. He was more concerned about the blind reploid crashing into everything the store had to offer.

Harpuia took the bag off his head while he took a plastic container off his foot. "I feel like such a tool."

Leviathan snagged the pool in a flash. "Gimme! This had better work, and NO PEEKING!"

Fefnir came up behind them. "Why, are you wearing your Devil May Cry black underwear again?"

Leviathan's attitude turned casual. "No, actually I'm wearing my Street Fig... HEY!"

Fefnir was already on the run when Lev got that one.

The three finally entered the place squeaky clean.

Leviathan was pleased with what she saw. Crazy seizure-inducing music videos on the monitors, a huge dance floor, loud techno with a mix of metal and orchestra, and a huge spotlight in the middle she knew she had to get into. Fefnir saw a lot of girls. That's all he needed. Unfortunately for Harpuia, a lot of guys were eyeing him.

A green ura formed around Harpuia. "Have I told you guys lately that I hate you? Guys?"

They were already gone. Harpuia decided to go get himself a dry martini. "Bottom's up..."

Leviathan forced herself into the center of the dance floor, although a lot of couples tried to get in, getting her jealous at the first sight. She thought to herself, "Zero, why the hell couldn't you be here?"

At the resistance base, Zero was watching the action through several security camera monitors, sitting on a couch and stuffing his face with nachos with a fellow member of the resistance.

Zero's face was half full. "Belieeeve me, I can't dance."

Cerveau looked shocked. "You can't? But you're the legendary reploid!"

"...who can't dance. One time there was this dance at Maverick Hunter HQ, and this girl called Iris asked me to dance. After our first dance, she accused me of going Maverick on her. Luckily X convinced her brother that wasn't the case and he didn't try to kill me."

Cerveau looked surprised. "That's harsh. More cheese?"

Zero didn't turn down the offer. "Of course. Hey, check out this one. I didn't think Harpuia was sensitive about his manliness."

Harpuia was sitting alone at a table with a few dozen empty glasses. "This sucks. -BELCH-"

A reploid was coming by. "Hey, what's a pretty reploid like you sitting here all alone?"

Harpuia's eyes turned dark. "Are you a guy?"

The guy nodded. A loud THWACK could be heard across the club, and he was thrown into what appeared to be a collection of knocked out guys.

Fefnir came by, trying not to step on the bodies on the floor. "I can see we're having fun."

Harpuia took a huge drink. "Speak for yourself. -BELCH-"

Fefnir sat down. "I hate women. Want to know why?"

"No."

"Well, this one girl gave me some flirty look, and I asked her if she wanted to make out. She was all like, 'sure!' and I said, 'really?' and then guess what she said? 'No." And then she laughed and walked off. Then there was another girl who said that 'This guy is kinda hot' and I winked at her, and guess what? She shoved me out of the way to talk to some dorky and skinny reploid guy. And... who are you?"

Another reploid was next to Fefnir. "Hey dude, you mind if I take your date for a dance?"

"Harp, it's for you."

THWACK

All three were leaving the club.

Leviathan had a smile on her face. "Well, that was fun, wasn't it?"

Her brothers turned to her and spoke at the same time. "No."

Leviathan's mood turned hopeless. "You guys never smile, do you?"

Fefnir lit up in his thoughts. "When I'm surrounded by fires and the thought of destroying Zero!"

Harpuia spoke under his breath, "If I were an only child then I'd be happy."

"What?"

Harpuia made something up in less than a second. "Don't know, don't care. So how are we going to get home?" Fefnir and Leviathan gave him the same look as before. Harpuia wasn't surprised. "You guys owe me for this."

The three had been in the air for forty minutes at most, Harpuia again being in powered jet form, with the other two sitting on his wings.

Fefnir noticed that Leviathan had looked different. "You look happy."

Leviathan had been daydreaming. "What?"

Fefnir gave her a curious gaze. "Your eyes are glowing."

Leviathan looked embarrased. "What are you talking about?"

Fefnir turned away. "No, seriously, your eyes are glowing bright blue. It's blinding the hell out of me."

Leviathan's headlights on her eyes were on. "Oh, sorry. -click- I was just wondering what it would be like to have, you know, a boyfriend."

Harpuia came out of nowhere. "He'd better pay rent!"

Leviathan put her hand on her head for a second. "No, you jerk. I mean, well..."

Leviathan was picturing herself in a glowing prom dress, slow dancing with a particular blonde-haired reploid. Of course, this reploid had huge metal balls chained to his legs. This must have been at least the 50th time she thought of this, so her comrades knew her little desires with a red reploid named Zero.

Fefnir leaned backward. "Knowing your fantasies, I'd be afraid, too."

Leviathan's face turned red. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing!"

Harpuia's voice suddenly became more serious than before. "The time has come..."

Fefnir and Leviathan didn't understand what was going on until they looked ahead.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"Uh, Pigeons?"

"VENGEANCE SHALL BE MINE!"

Harpuia accelerated at full speed, knocking his two comrades off once again, yelling at the ride who sped off. "Dammit! Not again!"

Harpuia hates his comrades and just about everyone he knows, and is constantly mistaken for a girl. Leviathan has an obvious and obsessive crush on Zero, and will stop at nothing to make him her slave, and wears underwear from other Capcom games. Fefnir has problems with girls, loves puppies, hides his keys in his special underwear, and is dumb as hell. Zero likes nachos and can't dance even if his life depended on it, and has converted to seven different religions in hope that Ciel will actually leave him alone. What happens when Halloween comes by? Why does Ciel need roommates all of a sudden? Will Zero go on a date with Leviathan? Will Harpuia get his vengeance? Will Fefnir get a job at therestaurant down the street? Will Harpuia say yes to Wiel's proposal?

Harpuia: I'M A MALE!

Wiel: You gotta admit, you look good in that wedding dress.

Harpuia: Care to be the grand buffet?

Right. Sorry. Tune in for Chapter 3, coming, um, soon.
