Hm…the one where Syaoran is a singer has been taken off again…great. My laptop is slow! And all the documents are on there! Oh boy…well, at least I don't have to go upstairs for chapters five seven and eight. Oh well, I was gone for a week in NY so I couldn't update for a whole week. Bummer.
Disclaimer: I don't own MegaMan or Capcom…am I even old enough?
I'm starting to get writer's block on this story. I got the beginning and the end…I don't have to middle…big trouble…
Surprises
Chapter Two: Taking action.
Chaud followed Komi out of the sci-lab (A/N: thanks for telling me how to spell it!) entrance and out around town.
In Dentech city, Komi was enjoying the view. She turned to Chaud.
"You live in a great city! I'm sure you love it here right?" Chaud shrugged.
"I guess. It's not bad."
"Eh heh…sure." she kept on walking. Chaud followed slowly. Suddenly, she spun around.
"You wanna see me net battle?" Chaud blinked. "Okay. I have nothing better to do since I was supposed to come along as your, "Tour guide". But since I haven't done much, I might as well." Komi nodded.
"Let's go." Komi started walking again.
"Where?" Chaud raised an eyebrow.
"Arcade." Chaud watched her walk away. 'Right…'
At the arcade
"Ha! Beat that twerp! I'm unbeatable!" Komi wedged in between the crowd of "oo's" and "ah's". Not to mention people.
"I bet I can beat anyone of you pipsqueaks here!"
"I'll take you on!" a boy stepped in and jacked in his navi. The battle didn't last very long. The same boy that had challenged the other had lost.
"I told you! I bet anyone I point to will lose under me and …man!" (A/N: I'm not going to do much making up names here.) The boy's navi laughed evilly.
Komi smiled and stepped in. Then stepped back. But the same boy caught her.
"You! I challenge you to a net battle! Don't even try to turn back, I'll find you one way or another."
Komi ignored him and turned to Chaud. "Do you think I should take him on? I mean like I bet you can take him on just as easy. Maybe even easier then me."
"I'd just-" Chaud was cut off when Komi was dragged into the battle by the boy.
"Less talk more battle little girl." Komi sighed.
"This is just a waste of my time." she shook her head as she jacked Slayer in. Chaud was just thinking the same thing.
The boy winced at Komi's navi. He laughed and cackled.
"That's your navi! Ha! Take Napoleon out …man!" the boy's navi charged at Slayer at full speed. The attack caused smoke to blur the vision, and the sound of a navi logging out was heard. People were so concentrated on who it was they didn't focus on who logged out. But Chaud listened, and he was smiling slightly.
Pretty soon when the smoke cleared out, there showed Slayer, with a glowing epée in her hand. She stood there straight with one hand, the hand holding the epée pointing out at where she was standing before, but she was turned towards the direction she was standing before. She had moved before the attack had effect on her.
The net op had his mouth to the floor. He wasn't in the best position and fell on the floor. Komi winced. She walked over to him and poked him. She shook him. Didn't wake up. Kicked him gently, nope.
Finally, she gave up and shrugged it off. She stood up and walked over to Chaud.
"I'm going to get some lunch. Care to join?"
"Eh…sure. Where do you want to eat?"
"Anywhere but a restaurant. Can we just get some kinda take out and go eat at the park or something?"
"If that's what you want. Who's paying?"
"You pay for yours, I'll pay for mine."
"Sure." Chaud walked away as Komi followed.
"So what are we going to eat brother?" It took a while until Chaud had realized that she was talking to him. He forgot that his "nickname" was "brother".
"Em…I don't have anything to introduce." 'You should go ask Lan. I'm pretty sure he knows more about restaurants and food more then me.'
"How bout let one of us cook?" Chaud stopped. He laughed slightly.
"Sorry, but I can't cook." Komi smiled. She pointed to herself.
"I never said you were going to cook. I'm cooking. I think I should remember how to make some pretty good dishes."
Chaud shrugged. "Fine with me. I don't eat much anyways."
"Well, I don't cook much either. So you're in luck."
"Okay. I'll get a place for you to cook. Come on." Chaud lead her again, towards his house, or in his case, mansion.
"Wow…nice place. So famous said I was going to live here?"
"Yeah." Chaud looked away. Komi walked towards him and whispered in his ear.
"Yeah. He knows too."
"Okay. Just checking. Where's the kitchen."
"Down the hall turn a left and straight."
"Mm." Komi started down leaving Chaud behind.
When Komi finished battling before. While Chaud and her were talking.
"So? How was I?" Slayer turned to Protoman.
"You're asking me?"
"Of course. I heard from Komi that you and Chaud were tough to beat in battling."
"Oh. Well, you were fast. I saw you move to one place to another swiftly." Slayer smiled.
"Thanks. You think maybe we can have a friendly battle sometime?"
"If you insist on losing." Slayer giggled slightly.
"Thanks." Protoman was confused.
"Thanks?"
"Even if you said that I insisted on losing, you still accepted. So thanks."
"Oh. Whatever."
"Ha ha. Stone cold huh?"
"Sure. Say what you want."
"Chill. I'm not trying to offend you. I'm just saying that I'd be honored to battle you if I could. I'd like a tough challenge. Unlike the rookie earlier. You would have finished him off earlier then me." Slayer sounded pretty serious.
Protoman stirred. Finally, he smiled and nodded.
"Thanks."
"Sure."
Half hour later
"Hey Chaud. Lunch is served." Chaud nodded and walked into his large dining room. He stared at the table with two dishes and a plate of croissants. There were two glasses of purple liquid for each dish. 'Wine? I can't drink yet.'
"Sit down. I hope you like French dishes."
"You learned how to cook in France?"
"Well, I did live there for most of my life, so what do you expect? Chinese?" Chaud laughed a bit before sitting down. But when he did sit down, he stared at the wine glass. Komi noticed this and decided to sip it. Chaud stared at her with wide eyes. Komi laughed.
"I dare you to drink that." she pointed at his glass. Chaud stared at her with a blank expression.
"Do it. Remember what I can do." 'A hacker…' Chaud thought.
"No."
"Scared?"
"No it's just that-"
"Good grief! Drink it for Pete's sake!" Chaud sulked.
"You're getting on my nerves!"
"Drink it!" he sulked again.
"No!" Chaud looked away.
"Fine. You leave me no choice…" Komi bent down slightly and showed up with a laptop on the table. She started to work on it. Chaud raised his eyebrow. 'What is she doing?'
"Now Slayer."
"Right." Moments later, Protoman started to groan in pain.
"Ugh!"
"No! Protoman!"
"Drink it!" Komi urged again. Chaud groaned and gulped down the whole glass. Komi started to laugh. When Chaud finished, he blinked.
"I told you. What do you think it was? Wine? I don't drink wine. Too young you know."
"Yes. But…but…it's…"
"Grape juice. I made it."
"But Protoman…"
"Check your navi's status."
"He's not in my PET."
"Nope. He's in mine." Komi showed him her PET. There, Protoman stood. Apologizing again and again.
"I'm so sorry Chaud. It was by force."
"What!" Chaud stood up. "I'm out of here!" he started to leave.
"Hey. Wait." Komi stood up and chased after him. Too late. He had already ran into his room and locked the door. Komi shook his head.
"Lame lock." She jacked in her navi and started to work on her laptop again. Moments later, the door swung open.
"What!" Chaud looked annoyed.
"You. Forgot your navi." Chaud picked up his PET and found it empty.
"Protoman? You!" Komi laughed.
"Let him go."
"Okay." Protoman showed up in Chaud's PET again.
"Now. Check your navis abilities." (A/N: I don't know what those things are called.)
"Why?"
"Do it. Or I'll do it again." Chaud sulked and checked Protoman's status. (A/N: I don't know what those are called. Where they check their attack and defense etc…)
"Attack and Defense rose by five percent?" Chaud looked at Komi.
"I raised Protoman's offence and defense. If you don't want it that way, I can take it back."
"Eh…" Chaud stood up and walked passed her saying a small "thanks." Komi smiled. She watched Chaud walk into the dining room and start eating. Komi smiled satisfyingly. She went and sat in front of him and ate as well.
"So you can edit a navi's strength and abilities?"
"Mm Hm." she chewed on her food.
"Then you must be unstoppable."
"Uh…don't count on it."
"What?" Komi sighed.
"Slayer was created by a French scientist in France for me rescuing him from one of his experiments. He was about to get killed by it, until I took him to safety, so he thanked me by programming a navi for me with some special type of data."
"And?" Chaud bit into his lunch.
"Well, this data made Slayer have powerful strength and battling experience, which makes her unstoppable…except…"
"Except?"
"I'm kinda embarrassed for this…but she'll automatically log out if she senses a standard type navi."
"Oh…that's new."
"Very." She picked up her plate and started to walk into the kitchen.
"Uh. You can leave the dish here. Butler's will pick it up."
"Okay." she set the plate down.
"So…where's my room?"
"Em…show her her room."
"Yes sir." a butler lead her to her room, two doors away from Chaud's.
When Protoman was in Komi's PET
"I can't believe I did that. I hope Chaud will forgive me."
"Don't worry about it. Say, do you feel any stronger?"
"Well, after having to yell in pain in front of Chaud, I don't."
"Well, you have. Just wait till you get back to Chaud's PET. Or, you can see it now."
"Show me now." Protoman said in a stern voice.
"Okay." a screen showed up in front of Protoman. Protoman gasped.
"What happened? Five percent in offence and defense?"
"Well, we knew you might be upset, so we just did this for hope that you two would forgive us."
"Hey, it was grape juice. But I didn't like that idea of playing a trick on Chaud." Komi patted his shoulder.
"He'll be happy to see you any how."
"Thanks."
"So you can't battle standard navis?"
"Nope."
"But what if one showed up in your homepage?"
"I wouldn't be able to attack. And even if I could, it would have absolutely no effect on the navi."
"Wow."
"I know. Unlike you, you can attack any navi and have a major effect on it. That's why I admire you so much."
"You admire me?" Slayer nodded happily.
"You shouldn't."
"Why?"
"Um…"
"You haven't been in this situation before huh?"
"Uh…"
"Okay. Then I'll admire you secretly."
"Whatever."
"I knew you'd say that."
"Right…"
"No seriously. I can predict what you'll say next."
"No you can't." They both said at the same time.
"What?" they said at the both time again.
"You're kidding!" they said at the same time again.
"Nope."
"Hm…you'll be useful in battle. Can you predict moves?"
"Yes…just not standard navis."
"Oh. That data must be serious."
"Yup."
"Let him go." Komi told Slayer. Slayer turned to Protoman.
"It was nice knowing you Protoman. Bye for now. Come visit some time." she waved as Protoman left her homepage. Protoman smiled as he left.
"Sure."
In Komi's room
"Hm…Chaud has a nice place." Komi stated as she looked around the room before falling onto the bed.
"You can say that again."
"So. You and Protoman seem to be getting together pretty well."
"Yeah, pretty much." an extremely light shade of pink showed up on her face.
"You really like that Protoman guy huh?"
"Eh…kinda. He's cool."
"Right. I'm going to take a nap if you don't mind."
"And your asking me." Komi laughed.
Somewhere in the net
"Time to take action…" a dark figure stared at a case with particles rushing around again and again.
"Did you call sir?"
"Yes…release the gas. Tonight."
Ohohen: Look, I know this story totally sucks, and I'm not good at describing net battles with a hero and enemy/villain, so I suggest you not review unless you are REALLY THAT DESPRATE. I don't mind you not reviewing at all…for real. You don't have to review if you don't want to. And I know this story sucks and screw this chapter because it's just as bad as the whole damn story so yeah…but that doesn't mean I'm not going to continue it. I'm going to continue, but I don't think you guys will enjoy reading. And i know you guys are kinda laughing about the guy saying "Release the gas. Tonight."I don't mean it that way.
