Garbage Chute
There, in the very place were two living mammals of different background, used their primal instinct to realize that they might die in an "oven."
"Fire!" yelled Tamako as she ran around like a chicken without a head.
"Oh my God, we're going to die!" shouted Netto, stating the obvious.
Fortunately, there was one who was not a human and had common sense.
"Netto, try to find a plug-in port!" yelled Rockman to shut Netto up.
Netto tried to scurry around the limited space but was unable to find a port. Tamako, who finally stopped her distress, was attempting to stop the wall from moving by pushing back at it but she was obviously no match against the machine.
"There is only one way to find it then! Plug in, Rockman.EXE, Transmission!" exclaimed Netto as he got his PET, put the grip onto it, and fired which an infrared beam went out of the PET. The beam randomly bounced on the metal plating and onto another wall. Sometimes, the beam went into the fire which was not very good. Luckily, Rockman was not in the beam. If that happened, he would be digital barbecue.
As Netto was trying with chances to find a port, Tamako was putting random junk onto the moving wall, hoping it would stop or at least slow down.
Meanwhile on top of the city street, Jasmine and Meiru were in a staring contest. While it was a fierce competition with both of them not giving up, one of them broke off eye contact. It was Jasmine. But instead of being disappointed, she was all in smiles. Meiru was in little shock.
"Hi! I don't think we have met properly. So, Sakurai Meiru, nice to met you!" said Jasmine.
"Oh, hi... Uh, you can me, Meiru," the red hair girl said after seeing how politely she was. Meriu felt very strange all the sudden as if she couldn't really be rude to the newcomer.
"Okay, if you say so, Meriu," said Jasmine, still smiling.
"So what is Netto to you?" questioned Meiru, but not coldly.
"Well, Netto is a friend," replied Jasmine, who noticed the coldness emitting from the magenta hair girl but didn't phase her smile.
"Just a friend, or something more?" inquired Meiru.
"Well, he is something more than a regular friend. He's a great friend! He saved me from being kidnapped by a bunch of mafia and from a collapsing building! So beat that!" said Jasmine, being proud of having a friend who helped her in need.
"Oh yeah, he saved me from an exploding bus, from a bullet train crash, and from an exploding bubble which trapped me," huffed Meiru who suddenly wanted to show off how heroic Netto was. Not only that but she was saved more times than the newcomer.
"Exploding bubble? Is that possible? I mean wouldn't you die of the lack of oxygen?" Jasmine blinked.
"Eh, I really don't know. But Mariko-sensei was trapped in one, too," said Meiru who sweatdropped.
"Really? You must have lots of adventures with him. Hm, have you seen Netto by any chance?" asked Jasmine.
"No, I was looking for him until I ran into you," stated Meiru.
"Okay then, see you!" said Jasmine as she quickly disappeared into the bushes.
Meiru, seeing that the strange girl disappeared, decided to see how she done it. Meiru looked into the bushes but there was nothing except some dirt and bugs. It was as if the Chinese girl had pulled some sort of magical stunt.
"What just happened?" wondered the magenta hair girl. But before she could ponder any more, Roll yelled about finding him before that gaijin. Meiru's mood suddenly flipped and she had fiery eyes that promised pain for the boy who ran away from her.
At the very depth of hell, two lone souls were trying to find a way out from the internal heating combustion which they were stuck fifteen feet away from the fire. The outlook was very dim, until a miracle happened.
Suddenly, a hole appeared out of nowhere and a brown dog-like creature came out of it.
"Rush, you're here!" cried out Netto in joy, which Rush barked in affirmation.
"Rush, we need to get out of here! We're going to turn into roast beef!" shouted Netto.
"Aup, aup!" barked Rush as he pointed to the hole that still was there.
"You want us to go into the hole?" screamed Tamako, who finally took notice that there was a third living thing here when she was about to fruitlessly put another junk onto the moving wall.
"Aup!" nodded Rush.
"Alright! Thanks, Rush!" said Netto who patted onto Rush's head and immediately stopped his futile attempt to find a plug-in port. He then jumped into the digital hole.
"Hey, wait for me!" shouted Tamako as she went into the hole as well.
Rush went into the hole last, which closed instantly as the moving wall had almost reached to them where they were a moment ago.
In the real world, Tamako had landed on something soft while Rush landed on top of her head. He then got off and left for another room. Tamako got mad for a moment but realized that she was in a different place. She slowly lifted her head and looked around. This place was not smelly, but was decently clean. It looked some sort of a place with janitorial supplies.
"Yes! We're not dead! Praise the lord!" said Tamako joyfully. She then suddenly heard a muffled underneath her. So she looked down. It was Netto, the warm soft thing that she landed on instead of the cold hard floor.
"Hey, pervert, are you going to get off me?" asked the fallen comrade.
"I told you that I'm not a pervert!" screamed Tamako.
"Geeze, maybe it is because you're touching my butt?" said Netto sarcastically.
Tamako looked down and realized that one of her hand was indeed touching Netto's buttock.
"Uh, sorry!" expiated Tamako as she quickly took her hand off.
"And you could also get off me…" muttered Netto.
But before she could, somebody opened the door of the room and a female voice screamed. Tamako was instantly surprise as two other men came in to find out what the commotion was about. It was the old members of World Three.
What they saw was a grown disheveled woman sitting on top of their former young enemy and they interpreted the situation very wrong. After all they had heard some woman screaming about saying that she was not a pervert. By the looks of it, it seems to be true considering there were only one female occupant in the closet.
"Oh, Lord!" cried out Count Elec.
"How could you do that to a kid?" accused Madoi.
"What an indecent act!" said Mahajorama.
"No, I swear! It isn't what it looks!" panicked Tamako as she waved her hands frantically.
Madoi grabbed one of the brooms while Mahajorama got a frying pan. For Elec Hakushaku, he just grabbed his guitar.
"Get her!" shouted Madoi. The three started to attack her while Tamako bolted away leaving the fallen boy alone in the room. But in order for her to escape, she had to plow into the mob, knocking them down, causing more chaos.
"Ugh, finally I can move!" proclaimed Netto as he got up, with his back aching.
"Ok… that was weird," spoke Rockman while Netto sniffed himself.
"Dang, I stink very badly. I need to take a shower. Good thing there's the shower room in the boy's locker room. Hey Rockman, how much time do we have left until class?"
"Uh, negative five minutes?" responded Rockman.
"Negative? That's impossible!" scoffed Netto.
"Not unless you're late…" retorted the blue bomber.
"Ack! I'm late again!" yelped Netto as he ran to his class even though he knew that he smelled badly, since people around him held their noses.
The curry restaurant
"Thanks Rush," said Hino Ken gratefully as he gave the dog a plate of bone.
"Aup!" barked Rush happily as he wag his tail.
