I went back home, I was about to open the door when-"Wait! Please!" I heard a very whiney voice call out. It was Zack and Bud."Geo, you were at Vista Point this morning,weren't you?"
"Who was the person with you?"
"You were with Sonia Strumm, weren't you? You have something to do with the cancellation of the concert, don't you?"
"Hey! Say something! What happened!? This is a disaster y'know!"
"I-I don't know anything!"
"...Hmph,well it's not like you have anything to do with Sonia. So of course you wouldn't know."
"Yeah, that's true. Besides, the real Sonia would never hang out here. Man...when it rains,it pours. The concert got cancelled and were so going to get punished by the Prez for ditching her yesterday..."
"Hmm, but that girl...she really looked like Sonia. I hope I didn't make any trouble, telling her manager that I saw her on the bus.." I clenched my fists. "..."
"...I wonder why she just disappeared suddenly."
"She's a big star! She probably thought that Echo Ridge was too lame for someone like her." Before I knew it, words were walking...no...rushing! Out of my mouth..."Y-You're wrong! You don't know anything! So stop talking like you do!"
"Oh? And what do you know about her? You haven't even heard of her before yesterday."
"Well...I-"
"I guess there are fans like you. People who think they know all and pretend they do. Well, we're fans of Sonia too. And we believe that some special circumstance caused the concert to be cancelled. You've become a fan of hers, right? Then don't be shy about it and say it."
"I'm...not...a...fan..."
"Then don't go around saying stuff about her!"
"Hey, somebody's coming kid. Be careful and stay on your guard." A car parked by the side of the road. A man came out, and that man was Bob Copper.
"You two, did anything odd happen in this area? I found a large amount of Z waves, but when I came here nothing was out of the ordinary."
"No, nothing's happened around here pops."
"But more importantly, you're the one who put the Prez in a bad mood. And thanks to you, we got in so much trouble!!"
"I was only doing my job. Hmm?" Bob looked at his transer. "The Z wave levels are sky rocketing. Hmm? It's coming from over there." We heard a loud noise, and suddenly Bob fell to the floor!"Are you alright!?" Then Bud fell, and then Zack!"What the...Geo! Put on your visualizer!"
"Yeah!" I saw a woman. She looked like...Sonia..
"Oh!"
"Oh my, Looks like that boy can see us."
"Sonia!?"
"I knew it! She's been taking over by an FM-ian! I knew this would happen..and by the looks of things, it looks like it's Lyra..Man! I'm no good at dealing with...women..."
"Sonia?! Wake up, you're being controlled by an alien!"
"Hee hee hee! Please don't get in our way cutie-pie. Harp Note, he's trying to stop us..the bad boy. Give him a little nap for his bad behavior.."
"Out of the way!" She then fired at me, at the last second I dove away. And fell to my feet."Don't be reckless! This girl's the one who knocked the old man out! Lyra is an FM-ian who controls music notes. You can't let your guard down!"
"Please Geo! I don't want to hurt you, so just! Leave me alone!"
"What are you gonna do? The fight's already begun. Ya gonna finish this?"
"I don't have a choice! We have to fight back! We gotta pulse in and go after her!"
After finding Harp Note near Vista Point
"Sonia! Please stop it.."
"Geo?"
"...Yeah, it's me..You shouldn't hurt people. Come on, let's go home."
"I am...Harp Note. Don't get in my way...If you continue to stand against me...then...I won't show you any mercy either!"
"Sonia..."
"Hey, if you end up fighting her...you can't hold back..We'll be toast if you do.."
"..."
After finding Harp Note at Vista Point
"Please, stop following me!"
"I'm...I'm the same as you!"
"The...same..You can't understand how I feel! Hah!" She left once again.
"Mega, how come we can't jump after them?"
"If it was only me, I could make it. But as Megaman...nope..no can do.."
"Mr. Boreal's lab is that way! We gotta hurry!"
Afte getting to Mr. Boreal's lab and going to the wave road
"Sonia..."
"Why do you want to stop me so bady?"
"I understand how you feel."
"So-...I mean..Harp Note. You can't let his nonsense lead you astray! No one in this world could possibly understand how you feel! That boy is a bad boy, trying to trick you. If you don't get rid of him now, you'll only regret it later."
"...Don't get in my way..." Mega and that other FM-ian, Lyra...they started to whisper to each other.
"I see you're just as good as the sweet talker you were on planet FM-ian, huh Lyra?"
"What are you talking about, Mega?"
"It's been a while, Mega."
Sorry, but would you mind staying out of our way? After all, the fun is just about to start. I'm going to use Sonia and the power of music to control planet Earth! So, what are you planning to do with that boy?"
"I only got one purpose, To get my revenge on the FM king!"
"I see, us higher ups have their kn you, and have been looking for you y'know."
"I usually don't like to beat up on ladies. And since you were nice enough to tell me about the higher ups, I won't hurt you too bad."
"Hee hee hee, how kind of you. But we're going to do what I like this time. I'm not gonna let you get in my way."
"Tsk, then we have no choice. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do."
"If you go easy on me because I'm a woman, then you'll be sorry! Let's go Harp Note!"
"What were you guys talking about?"
"It's got nothing to do with you, so shut up brat! Here they come! Don't show them any mercy! Give it all ya got!"
After defeating Harp Note
"nnngh...No..I must...protect..my music.."
"How long are you going to keep saying that?! Do you think your mom would be happy to know that you're using your music to hurt people?"
"You don't know a thing about how I feel."
"Yes I do! My...my dad's gone too..That's why I know what it's like to lose someone you love very much. And what it's like to be forced into things. In my case, it's going to school..I'm...really scared of getting close to people. I keep thinking; What if I found someone I really liked, Maybe one day, they'll disappear too..Just like my dad. I became scared. That's why I didn't want to go to school. But the teachers rorced me to go. It got so bad that once, I thought about running away and never coming back...
"..."
"The thing that stopped me, was something my mom said to me. She said, 'You don't have to go if you don't want to. When you think you're ready, then go.' If my mom hadn't said that to me, maybe I would've ended up doing something I regret now. That's who I am, so that's why I understand you. And I want to help you."
"...You felt like that, too?"
"There's a lot of people waiting for your song. You don't have to sing now, hut one day when you feel like singing again, you should sing. For those people who love your songs, I think..."
"Why aren't you finishing us off?"
"I told you. I don't like to beat up o women."
"...*sniffle*...Now I see, we have already lost this fight. There is only a disgraceful punishment waiting for me if I return like this...I know what I'm going to do..."
"H-Hey you can't be serious...?"
"Of course I'm serious. I'm glad I came to this planet. And I'm glad I met Sonia. Don't worry, I'm not interested in the FM crowd anymore. You only get to live one life to live and I plan to live it and have fun. I wonder if you knew thi planet has a saying, as fickle as a woman's heart."
"I was afraid of that. You know, if you stay they'll be after you too."
"Hee hee hee, that's where you come in."
"Ack! Don't volunteer me!! From now on, I'm allergic to women!"
"Hey wait a second Mega, don't I get a say in this?!"
"If they get all weird in the head again, we'll get them good. You'll see, kid."
"You won't need to worry about that.I'll watch over Lyra, and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble. And you won't see me using my beloved music for evil, ever again...Geo..."
"Y-Yes?"
"I'm...going to give up being a singer for now.."
"..."
"Until now, I've performed music for myself. I want to start over with my studies. And one day, start singing again. I want to sing for the people who will wait for me and my mama's song. But first, I have some work to do."
"Work?"
"I'm going to build the best stage ever!"
Three day's later, Sonia held her retirement concert at Echo Ridge's Vista Point. Afterwards we met each other when everyone went home.
"Thanks for coming today. And for helping me move own."
"I'm sure your mom was watching too... "
"Yeah... Well it's time for me to go... I've got to try and make it by myself now.." She started crying. "Wh-Why am I crying? I told myself I had to be strong!"
"W-what's wrong?!"
"Ack! She's crying! I saw on a TV show recently on Earth, It's illegal to make a woman cry! Hurry up and do something before we get arrested!"
"Do something... She's already decided to live on her own! What can I do??" I then heard my dad's voice. "Anything you can't solve on your own, can be fixed with the help of a friend. Other people give us strength and in return we can give other people our strength. If we all could form a brotherband on Earth, this world live wonderfully where we can all support each other.." I wonder if I can stop her tears...By because brothers with her. B-But I...what can I...Be brave Geo! ...Dad...
"Umm...umm..So...um..Please become brothers with me..."
"...Okay..."
After becoming brothers
"I guess I should get going.."
"Are you going to be okay."
"Yeah...I'll be okay..I'll be okay from now on...Because we're connected. Now...I have something to remind me that I'm not alone in this big world. I can stop worrying about that starting today! I have to work hard to find the new me. I'm sure you can find a new you, too Geo!! Let's both work hard at it!"
"O-okay, ah and remember, you can't tell anyone about my secret!"
"The one about the alien living in your transer? Well no one would believe me if I did."
"Whoooooa!! What is with these Z waves?!" We looked down to see...Bob...Copper...
"Somehow, I think that guy would. Man this is bad, there's no way to escape..."
"Lyra, let's go." She knocked himb out...again..."Okay I'm really leaving this time. I'll contact you later, okay? And thank you...for everything."
"Uh..."
"We'll meet again, Mega. It's almost like we're going steady...Almost..Hee hee..She...they left.
" Can a brotherband really do that?"
"Don't ask me. You just HAD to go and become brothers, huh?"A...brotherband...I guess with this..I became stronger. right dad? " Ah!" My pendant started to light up. what's this supposed to mean?! It's gone...What's that all about? Could it be a message from dad?
"Hey, while the old guy's still out cold...let's get home. I bet your mom would know about your necklace."
"That's true..maybe I should ask her...That's enough excitement for one day. I'd better go home now."
