My second published fanfiction, I'm still working on the fine points of the plot, but I think this will work out.
Anyway, this is rated Teen because I am a teen and therefore write like a teen. No bad language or no YURI/YAOI! (I can't stand fanfics with them.)
This is Chaud's first person POV.
Pairings so far: Lan and Maylu
Saturday
I
guess it started as any other day. I got up a 5:30 Saturday morning,
took a cool shower in the dark, got myself ready, and headed to
SciLab. I don't know how something could possibly go this wrong. I've
always lived an eventful life and all, but some things you can't be
prepared for. On my arrival to SciLab I mechanically walked to the
Net Saver office to get my morning assignments.
'Break in one
of the net banks...I think I'll let some newbie take care of that.
hmmm... Criminals on the run could be exciting, but not my style.
Mass outbreak in the net, sounds like fun.'
"Protoman,
does taking down a mob of rabid navis sound like a good way to begin
the day?"
"Of course."
Chaud jacked Protoman in,
grabbed a piece of bread, and stuck it in the toaster while waiting
for Protoman to get to the destination. Chaud watched on the plasma
screen that was centered on the wall as Protoman approached the mob.
"Beast worshippers, they must have some innocent navi that
they are trying to sacrifice to their gods. The goal this time to to
stop the worshippers and rescue their victim without them being hurt,
got it?"
"When don't I?" asked Protoman
rhetorically.
'If there wouldn't be the captive we could just use
LifeSword to take them all down, but I can't risk hurting
captive.'
"Roll blast."
A flurry of pink hearts shot
out from the source and hit most of the navis logging some out, but
the majority were now looking for their new target.
"Antennae
Roll!"
The attacking navi Protoman recognized to be Roll, who
began flying at the enemies whipping them mercilessly with her
antennae. About all of the navis were logged out from the recent
attack. Only four still stood. One of them Protoman remembered was
Gutsman. Roll whipped out a sword and hacked the three opposers to
death.
"Gutsman, are you mental? How could you be caught by
the stupid Worshippers!"
"I thought they looked
cuddly," he replied in a daze.
Roll was debating whether to
delete him out of pity or be nice and just beat the digital snot out
of him. He did waste her and Maylu's morning together with this
stupid mission after all. Gutsman's eyes suddenly glowed red and
stuck out at Roll. Roll was nicked by it was was getting more upset.
Beating up someone is better than someone beating you up. Roll
settled the score by upper cutting him and a hearty blow to the chest
cavity.
"Gutsman, logging out," said the Net
Administrator.
Before Roll could see him, Protoman logged out from
his watching point.
"hmm...I thought I felt someone was
watching me."
"If they try anything funny, we'll just
beat 'em down, right Roll?"
"I guess so, Maylu."
"Jack
out, Roll.
"Her skill
and synchronization level are improving greatly. They'll be our
partners soon enough," commented Protoman.
'Their progress
is shocking; it used to be she was the one always being rescued, not
the rescuer.'
Protoman and I spent the rest of the
morning completing some of the "jobs" the NetPolice wanted
us to do. Nothing exciting, just little get and take jobs, the worst
kind. I sometimes wonder if this boredom is really worth my NetSaver
badge. I always hated being used, I am a lone wolf, I should be the
one giving orders not receiving them. But it's better than stuck in
my family's company building with secretaries frequently coming in
and out having me sign something or fill out something else.
It
was about noon when Lan and Maylu walked in. Maylu looked frustrated;
Lan does that to people when he needs pointless help on his homework.
I didn't have to worry about that much, but my father has this new
thing, "To relate with the customer, you have to be the
customer." A.k.a. I now have to go to ACDC Jr. High. I'm in all
of the accelerator courses, which is basically instead of doing 1+1,
doing 2+1. I don't see how that boy can have that much trouble in
school, it isn't that hard. We only have lunch and Physical Education
together. Maylu and I share accelerator science and lunch together.
Of course I'm stuck in every class with Forehead. It used to be her
title, but now it's her name. I tried to get my class order switched
around, but the office said that I was intentionally put in all of
her class so we could challenge and learn from each other. I've just
been learning how bad her company really is.
"Hey,
Chaud, Maylu and I were gonna catch a movie about 7, you on?"
asked Lan.
"I can try to," I shrugged reluctantly.
'Even though she's Lan's girl, I still can't resist going to the
movies with a hot chickā¦dang these hormones.'
I arrived at the movie theatre about 6:30, still in good time. I waited in the front of the lobby for Lan and Maylu for about 3 minutes. We all went dutch and walked into the theatre together. I probably should have taken the time to notice what movie we were going to before I went in, correction: Movies. That night they were having a Lord of the Rings trilogy marathon. I would have to sit in there for 9 hours, meaning I'd get home at 6 am! This is really stretching the late night movie thing. It worked out though, Maylu was in between both of us. The lights just went out when I noticed someone was sitting next to me...
I hope to update this by next week. Please R&R without flames.
