Chapter 5
Protoman.EXE was not a happy net navi. He was stuck in his PET and he had no idea where he was. He couldn't connect to the computer that was recharging the PET, for some reason. And, to top it all off, he was bored. Protoman had been waiting for several hours for someone to notice he was awake, which hadn't really helped his mood.
The red navi sighed and looked around the room yet again. Door to the left, door slightly in front of him, what looked to be a window to the right. Assorted furniture, including table, chairs, dresser, lamp, mini-fridge, nightstand and bed. There was also an oval-shaped thing next to the bed, and a silhouette of someone in it. Protoman glanced at the alarm clock on the nightstand. 3 AM. Joy.
'Damn it.' he thought. 'I might as well just…'
SKREET! SKREET! SKREET!
Protoman jerked out of his thoughts as an alarm started to go off.
"Emergency! Emergency! Maverick attack in Sector X-8! All Maverick Hunters deploy! Repeat, all Maverick Hunters deploy!" a calm feminine voice blared.
Tsshhhhh….Clunk. THUD! The Red Raider turned to face the oval-shaped thing once again. It was open, with a black-haired male in front of it, flat on his face. (1) In spite of his position, he was on his feet in a matter of seconds. The navi blinked. The guy didn't look like he was a day over 18, but his bright green eyes said otherwise.
His eyes spoke of hidden secrets and fears, of tremendous sorrow and joy, and of endless war and battles. Those eyes seemed to go through the Red Raider's very soul. Protoman, in spite of himself, shivered.
The black-haired teen closed his eyes. A bright flash of light formed around his form and vanished. Protoman's eyes widened.
An armored warrior stood in the teen's place. His boots were slightly bulky, but they looked to be thin and easily maneuverable. There were red gems set into yellow knee guards, with a V-shaped white line outlining it on the lower boot. The main color was mostly azure blue, with white and yellow highlights. White ankle guards surrounded the lower leg, with small red gems set into the ankles.
The warrior wore a black body suit with a belt adorning the waist. The belt was white and light blue, with a yellow-colored, pentagon-shaped buckle. An emerald gem was set into the buckle as well. Three thin white lines lead away from the belt; two connected to his boots, the third running from the tip of the belt buckle to the chest plate.
The chest plate was two-toned blue with light blue breast plates and an azure blue main plate, all trimmed in white. The shoulder plates were azure blue as well, circular in shape with a yellow band marking the end of the shoulder plate.
The gauntlets were a lot like the boots; azure blue, trimmed with white and a ruby-red gem set into the yellow elbow guards. A yellow neck guard finished off the body armor. A circular helmet rested on his head, with black ear guards. Indigo blue framed his determined face, with azure blue for the helmet's main color. A final red gem was set into his helmet, with an indigo blue strip running along the top of his helmet. (2)
Protoman took this all in at a glance, but that didn't explain the uneasy feeling in his chest. What bothered him was that the teenager in front of him kinda looked like Megaman. From the determined look in his eyes down to his armor, this stranger closely resembled his rival. And, for some strange reason, he felt that he knew this person from somewhere…
Without a word, the blue-armored warrior ran out of the room, not even glancing at the PET on his desk. Protoman stared after him. 'Who was that?' he thought, bewildered. The red navi stood in thought for a moment, then shook his head. 'Ah, to hell with it.' he finally thought, as he shut down the PET. Hopefully he'd get some answers when it was turned on again.
AN:
(1) Lo and behold, this is probably the only thing that can get Lan Hikari's lazy butt out of bed. ;;;
(2) Yes, I gave him the armor he used in Command Mission. Please don't yell at me.
Finally, we have Chapter 5! Sorry for the long wait, everyone, but with writer's block just now going away….yeah. I'd also like to say that I'm sorry that it's so short. (Aims buster at red target painted on writer's block, and blows it to bits) Now, onto reviewer responses!
Rose Kitsune.EXE: Here's what happened to Protoman! Sorry for the wait!
Archaon: Don't worry, hopefully I'll have X behaving a bit more like Lan-depends on the reviews I get. I'm happy that you liked Shademan getting his ass kicked.
Light Mage: Next chapter is here! Now pleeeaaassseee update Stargate Zero!
Snickerer: I'm glad you're starting to like this. If you have anything you want to know, just email me-my address is on my profile page. And yes, your reviews are greatly appreciated!
Spellcasterz: Chaud is back in the Battle Network dimension, don't worry. He'll appear in later chapters. Yesss, Shademan getting owned is very, very good. Spoiler alert X will get his little round of payback as well, I'm planning on it.
Firehedgehog: Amazingly, you got it right on the dot. See what rambling on can do? To be honest, I got the inspiration for this from your fics. (Raises blow horn to mouth) ANYONE WHO HAS NOT READ FIREHEDGEHOG'S FICS SHOULD GO DO SO RIGHT AWAY! Okay, I'm done. By the way, please update your BN Reploids fic! I updated my fic! grins
Evil Manic: People are gonna flip over the armor and busters. About Sigma getting bashed….hmmm…..wait and see.
The next update I have no idea when will be out, due to writer's block and the fact that I got put on probation from the internet (cough-grades-cough) Here's hoping that I can get it out soon!
