Note: English is my second language!
I don't want to hurt the UsuiXMisaki fans out there, but I want to try and see if Misaki Ayuzawa is capable to be a StarForce member, and have Tendou in Usui's place.
I don't own Megaman nor Maid-Sama except the transformation, new characters, and new Battle Cards.
Part two of Kaichou wa Maid-Sama episode 22, but in Grizzly Peak Resort based on Megaman StarForce 2 game. The title for this chapter didn't have enough space so I had to shorten it.
As I said before, welcome to Season 2 of Megaman StarForce: Tendou's Story! There will be more action, more comedy, more drama, more fighting, more romance, and more violence!
Chapter 20: Grizzly Peak Resort / Sting Chameleon Part 2
The next morning
Every Seika High student gathered in the food court with a plate of pancakes on the table.
"Okay, everyone, it's the second day of the Seika High Trip, and yesterday was great without any major trouble." one of the teachers announced, "Today, you'll continue to clean the hotel and serve the customers in the cafeteria! Once you improve your progress, we'll let you all have fun skiing for two days! Make sure your group members are all present!"
"SKIING! ? YAAAAAYYY! !" the boys cheered loudly, "LET'S DO OUR BEST! !"
"Looks like we can actually have fun for the first time." Misaki commented.
"But Misaki, you have ever tried skiing before? Because I haven't." Sakura asked her friend.
"Neither have I." Shizuko added, "I'm sure we can ask Amy for skiing tips."
Misaki nodded at her two friends. "We definitely should. This is my first time skiing too!"
That afternoon
"Please come back soon!" Misaki said to the leaving customers and cleaned the table with a wet cloth.
"Hey, have you heard? Someone saw a giant chameleon in the mountain." one of the customers asked his friends.
"Yeah, I've heard about that earlier. They say that giant chameleon was fighting a magician in a black cape and a giant yeti."
"And they were wearing some kind of armor."
"Do you think that magician and that yeti are friends with Megaman?"
"I'm not so sure about that. It could be possible."
Misaki started to become curious about their conversation and wanted to confirm it herself. Walking back to her room, she wore a blue shirt, black pants, black shoes, and a brown winter coat.
The black-haired girl proceeded her way to the mountain by taking the Grizzly Peak Resort's path. Stopping for a moment, she scanned around and saw Bud and Amy teaching their daughter how to ski. Smiling at them, she wanted to try it out soon.
"Nice view, isn't it?"
Misaki turned her back to see Tendou approaching her in his usual outfits. Instead of his black jacket, it was dark blue.
"Tendou?"
"You came up here to check out the view?" he asked, shoving both hands in the pockets.
"Something like that. I happened to hear some customers talking about witnessing Megaman's friends fighting a giant chameleon." she told him.
"That's odd. The only friend I have is Dan, who is Strike Fighter. I don't think Ace can transform due to Acid's current condition." Tendou noted inwardly, "So who were those Megaman's friends that you heard?" he asked.
"They said someone saw a magician in a black cape and a giant yeti." Misaki answered before proceeding.
"A magician in a black cape and a giant yeti?" Tendou repeated thoughtfully, trying to remember who they were. "Wait a minute... aren't they... " He was cut off and bumped into her, who suddenly stopped moving. "Misaki, what's wrong?" he asked.
"L-Look... " the black-haired pointed her right index finger up ahead.
Tendou complied and widened his eyes at the sight in astonishment.
There were many smashed pieces of equipment, and several trees knocked down as if there was a big fight.
"What the... what happened here?" he looked around in confusion. He took a step forward and suddenly fell down. "Ow!"
"Tendou, are you okay? Whoa!" Misaki exclaimed, seeing a large, deep footprint where Tendou had fallen. "No way! There really was a yeti!"
The spiky brown-haired stood up and narrowed his eyes, examining the footprint. "No doubt about it. It really was-"
"Tendou, look up there!" Misaki called, pointing at the mountain.
Tendou turned to where she was pointing at.
The two teenagers couldn't believe what they were seeing!
They saw a mechanical chameleon in green armor walking up the mountain.
"Th-There really is a chameleon monster! Let's follow it! Maybe Megaman might show up!" Misaki said before storming off.
"Misaki, wait!" Tendou pursued her.
"Amanda, time for a break! Let's head back for lunch!" Amy notified her daughter.
"Okay, Mommy!" Amanda walked towards her mother.
"Bud, are you ready for the eating contest tomorrow?" Amy asked her husband.
"You bet, I am! I'm gonna challenge Tendou, and maybe some boys from his school! That boy still has a large appetite, just like his mother!"
As the three walked back to the hotel, the parents suddenly stopped their tracks with horror looks on their faces. They saw a large number of monsters in black armor approaching slowly towards Grizzly Peak Resort.
"Oh no! Not now!" Bud immediately carried Amanda in his arms, "AMY, RUN FOR IT! ! THE HOTEL'S IN DANGER! !"
"Okay!" Amy nodded and carried her daughter's pair of skis in her hands before they dashed to the hotel and warned everyone.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Amanda asked in confusion.
"Sweetie, it's best to stay with your mother, you understand! ?"
Tendou and Misaki continued to follow the mechanical chameleon, and somehow they lost it. They were standing by the cliff and trying to find where it went.
"Where did it go?" Misaki asked, scanning around.
"Misaki, let's head back. Coming up here is a bad idea." Tendou turned around, feeling a premonition.
"Okay." Misaki sighed in defeat, then remembered something. She forcibly stopped him by grabbing the right sleeve of his dark blue jacket. "Tendou, about last night... what was it you want to tell me?" she asked.
The spiky brown-haired boy turned to face her, wanting to finish where he left off. This was his only chance to tell her his secret identity.
"Misaki, what I wanted to tell you was... "
Suddenly, a whipping sound was heard at a breakneck speed.
The two turned to see where the sound came from, then stumbled from the small quake. On cue, the cliff was sliced and dropped its way down. Both of them began to fall off the mountain.
"TENDOU! !"
"MISAKI! !"
The two teenagers cried and reached out their hands.
Back at the Grizzly Peak Resort
A horde of Noise Jammers approached their way to the hotel with their menacing growl.
"Graaaaawwwww!"
Everyone was scared of the Noise Jammers' sudden invasion and panicked.
"Oh no! This is terrible! I can't let these monsters lay their hands on my family!" Mr. Gelande shouted in frustration.
"M-Monsters are on their way here! ?" Yukimura shrieked, trembled.
"AAAAAAHHHHH! ! THERE ARE MORE OF THEM! ?" The Moron Trio questioned loudly in fright, grasping their heads. They recognized it from that night, but didn't expect to see that many.
"Shizuko, where's Misaki! ?" Sakura asked her friend.
"I don't know. I haven't seen her since breakfast." the short black-haired girl answered.
"What should we do! ?" one of the Seika girls asked in fright.
"Without Misaki nor Megaman, we'll all gonna die!"
"There are so many things I wanted to do before I die!"
"MINNA (EVERYONE), IT'S NOT TOO LATE! !" a voice yelled as everyone turned to see Bud with his arms crossed. "You kids can't give up that easily! Look around you! Those monster haven't came in the hotel, have they! ?" The Seika High students complied and noticed the wrestler was right.
"Do you have a plan, Mr. Bidson! ?" Ryuunosuke asked.
"Yeah, I've got one! I'm gonna fight these monsters to stall time until Megaman shows up, and I want you kids to barricade the doors and windows with all ya got!" Bud declared and walked towards the door, cracking his knuckles, "Whatever you do... don't let them in! Ya all understand! ?" he asked in a loud tone.
"HAI! !"
"Amy, make sure you protect our daughter!" Bud added before stepping out the front door.
"I will!" Amy nodded.
"Alright, students of Seika High! You heard my son-in-law! Barricade the doors and windows with tables!" Mr. Gelande announced as the students complied to find many tables as they could.
Bud stopped at the entrance and pounded his fists. "Taurus, if only you were here... I can't beat them without your help, pal." he thought sadly before smacking his face twice to snap himself.
"RRRRRAAAAAAWWWWWWRRRR! ! !" The horde of Noise Jammers began to dash towards the building with loud roars.
"Okay, you sons of bitches! I'll say this once... STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL! !" Bud declared and charged at them.
Back at the mountain
Below the sliced cliff, Tendou managed to grab a branch with his left hand and Misaki's left hand with his right.
"T-Tendou... " Misaki spoke in relief, surprised to see him save both their lives.
"*pant* *pant* Misaki, you okay?" he asked, trying not to let go.
"I'm okay... "
"Hang on, Misaki!"
The two heard footsteps coming closer to their direction as the figure stopped its tracks. They looked up at the sliced cliff and widened their eyes in disbelief.
It was the same green-armored mechanical chameleon they followed a moment ago.
"Nyahahahaha! You two lousy humans think you can ambush me! ? I, Sting Chameleon, am not that easy to be fooled by you underrated species! Nyah!" Sting Chameleon stretched his pink tongue and swung at the branch, giving it a small slice near the boy's hand.
(Sting Chameleon was from Megaman X / Maverick Hunter in PSP.)
"Aaaaaahhh!" Tendou and Misaki shrieked as the branch began to break slowly due to their weight.
"Ta-ta, losers! Good luck surviving! Nyahahaha!" Sting Chameleon bid goodbye to them and turned his back, walking away. "Now to continue my plan where I left off!"
"Tendou, I'm sorry... this is my fault!" Misaki admitted in shame, "I shouldn't have chased after that monster!"
"This is not the time, Misaki! I'll pull you up!" Tendou retorted.
Misaki gasped and saw the branch snapping halfway bit by bit. "Oh, no... The branch... The branch won't last! It can't support our weight!" she saddened her eyes and tears started to form, wanting to do something she had never done before. "Tendou... I'm sorry... I'm passing my life.. to you."
Tendou noticed the look in her eyes and knew what they meant. "M-Misaki... you're not... "
"Bye-bye... " she bid farewell in a sad tone and released her hand.
Slipping off, Tendou tried to grab her with his right hand, but failed as he painfully watched her fall. "MIIISAAAAKIIII! ! !" he screamed her name with a fearful look in his eyes.
As Misaki fell her way down, she grew a sad smile and shed her painful tears. "Tendou... I'm sorry... I've never got the chance to repay my debt to you... Please.. take care of my mom and Suzuna... for me... " she closed her eyes and prepared to meet her end.
Suddenly, a bright light shined as the black-haired girl opened her eyes to see a ball of light chasing her. She recognized it immediately with a gasp.
The light vanished and revealed Megaman, who was diving his way to save her.
His armors were dark blue. He had wings of Cygnus Noise form. His helmet had no spiky hair. His lens was red, and a silver mask below it. His streamlines were green.
Misaki didn't expect to see her hero on her school trip.
"Batoru Kaado (Battle Card)! Supiido Buusuto (Speed Boost)!" Megaman (Tendou) called out and dived faster than before. He finally caught up and reached his arms to her. He wrapped his arms around Misaki and held her as tightly as he could before ascending in the air. Wrapping her arms around his neck, the dark blue armored Megaman made a turn and landed on the field with broken trees and smashed pieces of equipment.
Misaki removed her arms from him and took a few steps back. "A-Arigato (Thank you), Megaman... "
"Are you okay, Misaki?" he asked in a calm tone. He was mad at her for sacrificing herself to save his life, but thankfully his face was unreadable due to his helmet.
"I am now, but Tendou! He's-" she turned at the mountain, but the dark armored hero interrupted her.
"Don't worry. He's okay. The branch didn't break." Megaman (Tendou) informed her, "I managed to transform just in time." Suddenly, a long pink mechanical tongue appeared in the air and wrapped around his neck. "Aaaaahhh!" He cried by the sudden contact, startling Misaki. Trying to break free, the tongue dropped him on the snow and dragged him to the trees with a strong force. "Aaaaahhh!"
"Megaman!" Misaki pursued him.
Dragging him through the snow, Megaman (Tendou) managed to catch one of the trees with his left hand and tried to remove the tongue. The pink mechanical tongue removed itself from his neck and retracted its way through the snow. The dark blue armored Megaman landed and formed a fighting stance. He quickly turned to his right, then his left, but the enemy was nowhere in sight; he began to stay cautious.
Misaki caught up to him and hid by the thick tree, watching the fight.
Sting Chameleon slowly rose out of the buried snow and prepared to sneak attack him from behind with his tail.
"MEGAMAN, BEHIND YOU! !"
Megaman (Tendou) complied and caught the tail with his left hand before giving a hard punch on the mechanical chameleon's face with his right fist. Removing the tail, he gave Sting Chameleon a hard kick on the side with his right leg and knocked him on the snow.
"Nyah! That damn human girl!" Sting Chameleon stood back up and swiftly smacked his enemy with his left paw.
"Aaahh!" Megaman (Tendou) cried and landed on the snow.
Sting Chameleon walked forward with a growl and kicked him before grabbing his shoulders until he was on his feet. Grunting to retaliate, Megaman (Tendou) forcibly dropped his back on the snow and threw his enemy further away.
"Arrghh!" Sting Chameleon shook his head and stood up, "Nyah! Time to use my new power! Kamereon Kuroon (Chameleon Clone)!" he called out as his body shined five different colors: black, blue, green, red, and yellow. On cue, four additional clones of Sting Chameleon scattered in different colors.
Now they were five clones of him in black, blue, green, red, and yellow armor.
"What the! ? Five of him! ?" Megaman (Tendou) widened his eyes in shock, "Ugh! And I thought two was bad enough!"
"Oh no! Megaman... " Misaki felt worried due to the unfair fight.
The five multicolored Sting Chameleons surrounded Megaman (Tendou) in a circle and ran sideways.
"Nyahahahahaha! What's wrong, Megaman! ? Can't fight all five of me! ?" the green Sting Chameleon laughed as they continued to move sideways to confuse him.
The five multicolored Sting Chameleons backed away and twirled their tails before swinging them in unison. "KAMEREON SUTINGU (CHAMELEON STING)! !" they called out and fired three spike-like lasers at him.
Megaman (Tendou) raised both arms in a defensive stance and formed two blue hexagon-shaped energy shields on his forearms. He managed to block two of their attacks, but his back and chest were hit with several small explosions.
"Aaaaaaahhh!" he cried and deactivated his armed-shields.
The red Sting Chameleon was the first to attack. He jumped forward and landed his feet on the dark blue armored Megaman's back to push him forward.
"Aaaaahh!" Megaman (Tendou) cried and stumbled.
The black Sting Chameleon was the second to strike by jumping forward at him.
"Hiya!" Megaman (Tendou) countered by swinging his right leg at the black mechanical chameleon's face, knocking him away.
"NYAH! !" The green Sting Chameleon jumped forward to grab him, but his enemy dodged by doing a cartwheel twice.
Megaman (Tendou) formed a fighting stance and extracted red blades on his forearms. "Hiya! Ha!" He slashed the black mechanical chameleon's torso before the red one, sparks bursting out. They cried and fell on the snow.
"Nyah!" The yellow Sting Chameleon swung his tail at him, but his enemy swung his right armed-blade and cut off the tail. "NYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! !" he cried in pain.
Megaman (Tendou) swung his right arm at the blue Sting Chameleon, but the latter used the back sides of his arms to block the blades. Without knowing, he thrust his right foot at the blue mechanical chameleon's abdomen to push him away.
Misaki watched the fight in awe. She couldn't believe Megaman was actually taking on five monsters simultaneously.
"Megaman, just who are you?" she asked.
The green Sting Chameleon growled in frustration. "Nyah! Come on, boys! It's camouflage time!" he notified his clones.
The multicolored Sting Chameleons leaped to the trees and turned invisible.
Retracting his red blades back to his forearms, Megaman (Tendou) formed his fighting stance and stayed on full alert. "Oh great!" he looked around and used his red lens to scan the enemies.
"Nyahahahaha! Where do you think I am, Megaman! ? Am I over here, or am I over here! ?" Sting Chameleon's voice echoed.
"Megaman, ganbatte." Misaki cheered in a soft tone.
"Tell me why you are here!" Megaman (Tendou) demanded.
"Oh, it's quite simple!" one of the five Sting Chameleons answered in an echoing voice.
"My original plan was to take down that fancy hotel just to lure you out!"
"However, those two bastards dare to ruin my plan!"
"I didn't expect to see those traitors on your side!"
"But now since you're here!"
"My Noise Jammers are already assaulting that hotel!"
"I planned to take you and the hotel down as well!"
"Two birds in one stone!"
"NYAHAHAHAHA! ! NYAHAHAHAHA! ! NYAHAHAHAHAHA! !"
Misaki gasped and couldn't believe her ears. "Sakura, Shizuko, minna (everyone)!" she ran back and checked the hotel. Widening her eyes, she saw a small group of black armored enemies attacking the entrance.
Back at the Grizzly Peak Resort
Bud punched and kicked several Noise Jammers in his path, but the rest passed by him and headed to the hotel.
Some of the Noise Jammers managed to break the glass windows, but the adults and the Seika High students barricaded them from entering the building with numerous tables and chairs. They tried to stall time the best they could before their hero Megaman came to their rescue.
"RRRRRAAAWWWWWRRRRRR! ! !" Two Noise Jammers smashed the front door into shards of glass and entered with their roar.
"Ready, go!" The Moron Trio shoved the couch to the entrance and knocked the two Noise Jammers away.
"Quick, use the couch to barricade the front door!" Shirokawa shouted as they moved the couch sideways before finding another one.
"M-Megaman, where are you! ? We need your help!" Yukimura pleaded.
One of the barricaded tables was punched through as a Noise Jammer reached its claw in, trying to grab someone.
"RRRRRRRAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRR! !"
"DAAAAAAHHHHHH! !" some boys screamed at the incoming claw.
"DON'T LET GO! ! DON'T LET GO! !" one of the adults shouted.
Two of the Seika female students smacked the claw with a broom and a scrub brush. Soon, the Noise Jammer retrieved its claw back with a roar.
One of the windows shattered as the Noise Jammer bashed its head through and menacingly roared at them.
"GGGRRRRAAAAAWWWWW! ! !"
"DAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! !"
"DON'T LET IT EAT US! !"
Mr. Gelande grabbed a chair and used it to smack the Noise Jammer's face.
"Mommy, I'm scared!" Amanda held tightly on her mother's ski suit.
"It's okay, sweetie. Megaman will save us." Amy assured her daughter, trying to calm her down.
"What's with those monsters! ?" Sakura questioned in fright.
"I don't know. They look so different than the usual." Shizuko answered calmly.
"How are you so calm, Shizuko! ?"
The Moron Trio shoved another couch to the entrance. They carried it together and placed it over the first one. Suddenly, the two couches were pushed by two Noise Jammers from the other side. They shrieked and quickly shoved the couch back, preventing them from entering the lobby.
"What kind of monsters are they! ?" Sarashira questioned.
"I don't know! It's like we're fighting against a pack of zombies!" Ryuunosuke answered.
"Except we're not in a zombie movie!" Shirokawa noted.
Bud dashed at the entrance and grabbed one of the two Noise Jammers. "Get away from there!" he threw it in the air before doing the second one. One of the Noise Jammers grabbed him and shoved him to the snowy ground. "Aaaaaahhh!" he tried to get up, but the latter pinned him to the ground by stepping on him with its left foot.
The Noise Jammer changed its right arm into Sword and prepared to strike him. Bud grabbed its leg to remove it but wouldn't budge.
Suddenly, a large arm smacked the Noise Jammer away from him.
"Huh?" Bud blinked in confusion, wanting to know who saved him.
Mr. Gelande was about to smash the Noise Jammer's head with a chair, but suddenly its head was pierced by a cane with a blade at the butt.
"GGGGRRRRRAAAAAWWWWWWWHHHHH! ! !" it roared in agony.
"What the! ?" the green-and-white-suited man gaped.
The cane pulled the Noise Jammer's head away from the window. "Sutikku Soudo (Stick Sword)!" a voice called out, and several stabs on the armor was heard before an explosion occurred.
*KA-BOOM! !*
Bud stood up slowly and couldn't believe to see who just saved his life. His savior was a certain armored yeti enemy he hadn't seen for more than two decades.
"Y-YetiBlizzard! ? Why are you-"
"You wanna save these people, or are you here to chit-chat?" he asked sternly, pointing at the hotel with his left thumb.
The spiky dark blue-haired wrestler wasn't sure to trust him or not.
A Noise Jammer leaped in the air to strike them with a roar.
"Fantomu Surasshu (Phantom Slash)!" another voice called out and sent out wind-like slashes in the air. The attack struck the leaping Noise Jammer as it exploded in defeat.
*KA-BOOM! !*
Bud turned to the second savior and saw a familiar armored magician in a black cape. "D-DarkPhantom, too! ? What's going on! ?" he questioned in confusion.
"Save your breath, and continue fighting them." DarkPhantom said bitterly.
YetiBlizzard jumped in the air and aimed his feet, "BigguSutonpu (BigStomp)!" he dived down and slammed both feet on three Noise Jammers with a loud thump.
"RRRRRRAAAAAAWWWWWWWHHHHHHH! ! !" they cried and exploded in defeat.
*BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !* *BOOM! !*
Back at the mountain
Misaki blinked twice and rubbed her eyes at the sight. "A magician in a black cape and a giant yeti? Are they a StarForce, too?" she questioned. Sighing in relief, she assumed the hotel was under control before turning back to Megaman.
Megaman (Tendou) continued to stay cautious on the multicolored Sting Chameleons' camouflage and slowly walked forward.
The red and blue Sting Chameleons revealed themselves behind him and stretched their mechanical tongues. "Tan Wippu (Tongue Whip)!"
(A/N: It's either "tan" or "tangu" for tongue in Japanese romaji.)
The dark blue armored Megaman quickly turned his back and received a hit on his torso, knocking him in the air. "Aaaaaahhhh!" he cried and fell on the snowy slope, rolling down until he stopped at the field.
The red and blue Sting Chameleons landed beside him with a growl and retaliated. Megaman (Tendou) stood back up and punched the red mechanical chameleon with his right fist before the left. Next, he turned to the blue one and swung his right leg at the latter's face.
The black, green, and yellow Sting Chameleons appeared at the top of the slope with a growl and shot their mechanical tongues in the air. The green Sting Chameleon wrapped his tongue on the dark blue armored Megaman's left wrist, the black one caught his neck, and the yellow got his right wrist.
"Aaaaahhhh!" Unable to parry, Megaman (Tendou) was yanked again and fell on the snow.
The red and blue Sting Chameleons stretched their tongues at him to assist their comrades; the red one caught his right leg, and the blue caught the left.
"NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA! !" The five multicolored Sting Chameleons laughed and lifted their the dark blue armored Megaman in the air, "TAN SHOKKU (TONGUE SHOCK)! !" they sent out electricity on their mechanical tongues to Megaman (Tendou) with respective armored colors.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! ! !" Megaman (Tendou) cried as several sparks of explosion appeared on his armor.
*BOOM! !* *BOOM! !* *BOOM! !* *BOOM! !*
"Megaman, ganbatte!" Misaki cheered.
"What's the matter, Megaman! ?" the yellow Sting Chameleon asked.
"Are you in for a shock! ?" the green one added.
The five multicolored Sting Chameleons began to increase their power.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! ! !" Megaman (Tendou) clenched his fists and tried to break free, but his limbs were constricted by them.
"Megaman, stay strong!" the teenage girl continued to cheer.
Megaman (Tendou) shot his eyes open behind his red lens and loudly called out an attack he rarely uses. "SutaaFoosu Furasshu (StarForce Flash)!" On his command, the shooting star symbol on his chest began to shine brightly.
"Ugghh!" Misaki blocked the bright light with her right hand.
"GAAAAAAHHHHH! ! !" The five multicolored Sting Chameleons cried from the blinding light and dropped to their knees.
Megaman (Tendou) landed on the snow and extracted a red blade on his right forearm. He swung his right arm and savagely sliced the mechanical tongue from the left wrist before on the left leg. Next, he held the tongue from his right arm and sliced it before cutting off on the right leg.
"AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHH! ! !" The four Sting Chameleons cried from losing their tongues and retracted them back to their mouths. The green and yellow began to fall down the snowy slope.
Retracting the blade back to his right forearm, the dark blue armored Megaman removed the mechanical tongue off his neck and grabbed it tightly with both hands. "HIYAAAA! !" He swung to the right and lifted the black Sting Chameleon in the air, smacking the four mechanical chameleons in circular rotation several times. Soon, he gathered all five and tossed them at the slope.
"NYAH! !" The five multicolored Sting Chameleons stood back up and stumbled.
Megaman (Tendou) mechanically transformed his arms into Gatlings and aimed at them. "GATORINGU BAASUTO (GATLING BURST)! !" he fired multiple glowing bullets at a rapid speed.
The green Sting Chameleon quickly stepped away and allowed his clones to take the hit. The glowing bullets collided on the four mechanical chameleons as they cried in agony. They dropped to their knees and fell forward to the snow before exploding in defeat.
*BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !* *BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !*
The green Sting Chameleon shined and reverted his armor back to his original color. He growled in frustration and jumped up high in the air, reaching his paws at them.
"SHINE (DIE), MEGAMAN! !"
Reverting his armed-gatlings back to his arms, Megaman (Tendou) took his stance and leaped in the air. He extended his right leg at the mechanical chameleon for the finishing blow as that right foot glowed bright yellow. "SUTAAFOOSU KIKKU (STARFORCE KICK)! !" he landed a powerful kick on Sting Chameleon's torso with a loud boom.
"NYAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO! ! !" the mechanical chameleon was sent flying straight to the mountain.
The dark blue armored Megaman landed on the snow and almost stumbled.
"Megaman!" Misaki slid down the slope and approached her hero, "Megaman, are you okay?" she asked, helping him to his feet.
"I'm okay... Aarrghhh!" he cried, feeling the heavy pain due to their electric tongues. "It's best you get back to the hotel." he replied and leaped in the air.
"Arigato (Thank you), Megaman! You take care!" the black-haired girl waved at him, "Okay, now to find Tendou!"
Back at the Grizzly Peak Resort
"Yukidama Fooru (Snowball Fall)!" YetiBlizzard slammed his left hand on the ground and created several large snowballs as they dropped from the sky. The snowballs collided on the Noise Jammers and trapped them as their heads popped out.
"RRRAAAAAAWWWWWHHHHH! !" they roared in the air and tried to break free, but failed.
Bud rushed back to the entrance and tossed most of the Noise Jammers away from entering the building.
Most of the people noticed the Noise Jammers invading the hotel less and less, and started to feel a bit of relief.
They lowered the barricaded tables and checked what was going on outside. They widened their eyes and didn't believe what they were seeing.
"No way! It's the magician in a black cape and a giant yeti!" one of the adults pointed.
The Seika High students were surprised to see them fighting the monsters. They wondered if they were friends with Megaman due to their appearance and armor.
"No way! Shizuko, those two must the StarForce!" Sakura assumed.
"They look like it." the short black-haired girl replied.
"But how come WAZA didn't have any statues of them?" Sakura questioned in realization.
"I'm not sure myself."
"Fantomu Surasshu (Phantom Slash)!" DarkPhantom drew his cape and sent out wind-like slashes at the trapped Noise Jammers as they exploded in defeat.
Back at the mountain
Misaki ran back to the sliced cliff and didn't find Tendou on the branch. She went back to search for him in the wood and couldn't find him anywhere. She tried calling him, but there was no response.
"Tendou, please be okay!" she pleaded, starting to feel anxious. She stood by the tree, panting in exhaustion. "Where are you?" she asked worriedly. Suddenly, a figure dropped down from the tree out of nowhere; it was none other than Tendou. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH! !" she shrieked at his sudden arrival, "TENDOU, DON'T DO THAT! !"
"Misaki, where were you! ? I was worried sick about you!" the spiky brown-haired asked, almost sounded angry.
"Megaman rescued me and took care of that chameleon monster! And where were you! ?" she countered.
"I've been searching for you after I saw Megaman came down to save you!" he lied, "What you did back there was stupid and insane! I was gonna save us both!"
"The branch wouldn't last any longer! We both could've ended up dy-" Misaki was cut off by Tendou, who suddenly brought his arms around her in a deep hug.
"Baka, don't do that again!" he slightly raised his voice and shut his eyes.
Misaki heard his voice sounded hurt; she didn't expect to hear his tone that way. She started to realize he really cared about her as she returned the hug.
"I'm sorry, Tendou... I won't... "
Somewhere high in the mountain
Sting Chameleon slowly stood back up with sparks bursting on his broken armor and locked his eyes at Grizzly Peak Resort. "M-Master Sigma... forgive my failure... A-Arrghh... Megaman... don't bother celebrating just yet... Aaaahh! Don't even think you've won yet... Aaaarrrgghhh! Damn, you Megaman... if I'm gonna fall... THEN, I'LL TAKE THE HOTEL DOWN WITH ME! ! NYAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH! !" he fell forward and exploded in defeat.
*BOOM! !* *KA-BOOM! !*
On cue, the explosion caused the solid snow to shatter with numerous cracks and began to crumble its way down the mountain. Soon, more and more snow dropped until it created large clouds of snow.
Tendou and Misaki felt a rumble and broke the hug. They turned at the mountain and widened their eyes with horror looks on their faces.
It was an avalanche!
"Crap! Was this his plan the whole time! ?" Tendou accused and turned to latter, "MISAKI, WE'VE GOTTA RUN! !" he shouted.
"R-RUN! ? RUN WHERE! ?"
"DOESN'T MATTER! ! SOMEWHERE-Huh?" He paused and saw a red snowmobile parking by the tree, "A snowmobile? How did-Ah, screw it! Misaki, forget running! We're taking the snowmobile!"
"A snowmobile! ? Where did that come from! ?" she questioned.
"NO TIME TO ASK! ! THAT'S OUR ONLY WAY OUT! ! NOW COME ON! !" Tendou grabbed her left hand with his right and dashed to the vehicle.
"You've gotta be kidding me! ?" Bud widened his eyes in horror at the avalanche on the mountain, and it was heading toward his direction. He immediately ran back to the hotel.
DarkPhantom and YetiBlizzard defeated the last three Noise Jammers as they exploded in defeat. They noticed the avalanche and gasped, couldn't believe their former ally actually succeeded.
The wrestler entered the building and shoved the barricaded couches away. "MINNA (EVERYONE), WE HAVE A BIGGER SITUATION! ! AN AVALANCHE IS COMING! !"
Everyone in the lobby turned to the window and gasped loudly at the sight as they began to panic.
"AN AVALANCHE! ? FIRST, THOSE MONSTERS, AND NOW THIS! ?" The Moron Trio shouted in disbelief, "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR SCHOOL TRIP! ?"
The Seika High girls gathered and became frightened at the sudden news.
"A-A-An avalanche! ? Is this for real! ?" Yukimura trembled in fear.
DarkPhantom and YetiBlizzard gave each other a stare and nodded in agreement before leaping in the air. DarkPhantom landed on top of the right side of the hotel, and YetiBlizzard leaped forward and landed on the side of the hotel.
"YUKIDAMA FOORU (SNOWBALL FALL)! !" the armored yeti raised his fists in the air and slammed them on the ground repeatedly. A large number of snowballs appeared in the sky and dropped on the ground in a large V-shape. More appeared and stacked up until they were getting higher and higher.
Tendou mounted on the snowmobile and noticed the key was still there, claiming it was a lucky sign. He realized it wasn't an ordinary snowmobile. It was a high-class as if it was owned by a rich person. He started the engine by turning the key.
Misaki sat behind him and noticed he know how to handle it. "You know how to drive one! ?" she asked in surprise.
"That's right! Hold on tight!" he ordered.
"You really think you can drive all the way to the hotel! ?" she questioned.
"Are you doubting my driving skill! ?" he questioned back, pressing some buttons to increase the speed to the maximum level.
"But what if we won't make it! ?"
"We won't get caught! It took me several tries to control a snowmobile! Now hold on tight, Misaki!" Tendou ordered and held both levers, "AND THIS TIME, DON'T YOU DARE LET GO! !"
Misaki widened her eyes and nodded before wrapping her arms around his waist. "I WON'T! !"
The avalanche was approaching closer to them with a loud rumble.
"THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL... " Tendou started the throttle with a scowl, "-WE'LL DIE HERE! !" He drove the snowmobile at a high speed, surpassing the incoming avalanche.
He made his way down the mountain and avoided several large rocks in his way. Misaki was amazed to see him driving so well - despite he didn't have a license. The spiky brown-haired teenager increased the speed and passed by one of the trees before the branch dropped.
"Aaaaahhhh!" Misaki shrieked, holding him tighter than before.
"DON'T WORRY, MISAKI! ! I'LL PROTECT YOU EVEN IF IT KILLS ME! ! BECAUSE... BECAUSE I STILL HAVE SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL YOU! !" he shouted at the top of his lung, causing the black-haired girl to open her eyes with a light gasp.
YetiBlizzard continued to stack his snowballs as high as he could to defend the hotel.
Everyone couldn't help but watch the armored yeti trying to save them from the avalanche.
Three of the Seika High girls came back to the lobby to the others from the hallway.
"We couldn't find Misaki nor new kid anywhere!"
"They're not in the hotel! We've looked everywhere!"
"It's like they just disappeared!"
"That can't be!" Sakura trembled in fear, wishing they didn't get killed by those monsters.
YetiBlizzard finally stopped pounding the ground and panted heavily. He finished building a large wall of snowballs.
"This should work." he commented, then dropped to his knees with a grunt. The wound on his left rib reopened from Sting Chameleon as he held it with his right hand.
As the avalanche was coming closer to Grizzly Peak Resort, DarkPhantom prepared to make his move and grabbed his cape with both hands. "Hmm?" he suddenly paused and shot his head at the avalanche. He narrowed his eyes and saw two teenagers riding a red snowmobile at a quick speed, heading towards their direction. "Well, what do you know... they found my snowmobile." he chuckled and held his cape tightly, "FANTOMU SURASSHU (PHANTOM SLASH)! !" he swung his arms repeatedly, sending out multiple wind-like slashes at the incoming avalanche. His attack collided, trying to reduce the avalanche's speed the best he could.
Tendou and Misaki saw a barrage of wind-like slashes and hit the incoming avalanche.
"Are they a StarForce?" the black-haired girl asked.
"Unlikely!" Tendou answered, "Why are they here for! ?" he questioned thoughtfully.
DarkPhantom continued his attack until he cried in pain. "Aaaaaahhh!" Stopping both arms, he dropped to his knees and felt the pain on his right shoulder. "Ugghh... After 23 years, the Repliforce is stronger than before." he commented.
"HANG ON, MISAKI! ! WE'RE ALMOST THERE! !"
"OKAY! !"
Tendou saw the wall of snowballs and turned the snowmobile to the left. He hit the brake and stopped at the entrance in a long distance.
"GO, GO, GO! !"
Misaki immediately removed her arms and rushed her way to the hotel. Tendou got off the snowmobile and followed.
The Moron Trio noticed the Misaki and Tendou running to the hotel in confusion.
"HEY, EVERYONE, I FOUND KAICHOU AND NEW KID OUTSIDE! !" Shirokawa notified everyone loudly.
"HURRY, YOU TWO! !" Sarashira shouted.
"WHY WAS NEW KID DRIVING A SNOWMOBILE! ?" Ryuunosuke questioned.
The Seika High students approached the front door and saw the two making their way to the lobby. The girls were relieved to see her in one piece.
"MISAKI, HURRY! !" they pleaded.
"Tendou, where was that kid! ?" Bud questioned worriedly.
The avalanche was approaching the hotel at a breakneck speed as the two ran as fast as could.
Tendou was slowing down and losing his stamina due to the intense battle with Sting Chameleon and his clones earlier. He suddenly felt the pain on his body, "Aaaaahhh!" he tripped and fell on the snowy ground. "Damn it, not now!"
Misaki made it through the entrance, then was immediately surrounded by the entire female Seika High student with tears in their eyes.
"WELCOME BACK, MISAKI! !
"WE WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU! !"
"DON'T SCARED US LIKE THAT! !" Sakura wrapped her arms around her friend.
"I'm glad you're safe." Shizuko added, bringing her arms to her friend in a group hug.
"MISAKI... !"
"It's all right, girls! I'm okay!" Misaki replied with a smile.
"NEW KID, HURRY! !" The Moron Trio shouted.
Misaki heard them and broke the group hug before turning around. She gasped to see Tendou on the snowy ground, who didn't make it.
"TENDOU, HURRY AND GET IN! !" she shouted.
"GET UP, TENDOU! !" Bud followed in encouragement.
The spiky brown-haired teenager got back up, but dropped to his knees due to the heavy pain. "Damn it, I have to hurry!" Without noticing, the avalanche was already catching up as he turned to it with a gasp. "Oh no!" The avalanche hit the wall of snowballs and split into two due to the V-shape. He quickly used his arms to defend himself as the avalanche swept him away.
Everyone gasped with a horror look on their face, seeing him got caught in the avalanche.
"TEEEENDOOOOOOU! !" Misaki screamed and ran forward to help him.
Bud immediately caught the girl from doing so. "BAKA, DON'T GO OUT THERE! ! IT'S DANGEROUS! !"
"BUT TENDOU'S-! !"
"FANTOMU KUROO (PHANTOM CLAW)! !" DarkPhantom called out as a large black claw came out of his chest. The claw expanded and grabbed a large chunk of snow. He crumbled it lightly into smaller pieces, but the boy wasn't in his grasp. "No!"
As the avalanche subsided, the adults and the Seika High students rushed out of the hotel - including DarkPhantom and YetiBlizzard.
"MINNA (EVERYONE), SEARCH FOR TENDOU! !" Misaki ordered.
They scattered around and dug their hands on the snow as fast as they can.
"Tendou!"
"New kid! New kid!"
"Tendou, where are you! ?"
"New kid, say something!"
"Answer us!"
"Show us a sign!"
Somewhere in the buried snow, Tendou opened his eyes halfway and breathed slowly. "I... I can hear everyone's voices... Looks like the hotel is safe... thanks to those two... " he smiled weakly and grunted, trying to break out. "I have to get out of here or else... " he slowly lifted his arms but dropped them. "Uugghh... Damn... I can't move... my body's so numb... Gotta... get out... " his eyes felt heavy as he closed them.
"Tendou! Tendou! Tendou! Tendou! Come on, Tendou! Where are you! ?" Misaki desperately searched for him through the snow with every strength she had before it was too late.
"Come on, Tendou! I don't want your mother to have my head for this!" Bud pleaded. Amy joined next to him and assisted her husband.
"New kid, say something!" Sakura pleaded.
"New kid, where are you! ?" Shizuko followed.
"NEW KID! ! NEW KID, ANSWER US! !" The Moron Trio called out his name through digging the snow.
"New kid!" Yukimura pleaded.
"Damn it, Tendou! Where the hell did you go! ?" Bud asked angrily, picking up his pace. He refused to inform Sonia about this incident, not wanting to face her wrath.
YetiBlizzard dug the snow with his large hands, and DarkPhantom used his Phantom Claw to dig the snow sideways.
"Any luck over there! ?" one of the male students asked the girls.
"No, not here!"
"Same here!"
*Insert Kamen Rider Fourze OST - Cry of the Heart*
"Tendou, where are you! ? Please come out!" Misaki pleaded, digging the snow faster and harder than before; tears began to form in her eyes again.
Sakura noticed blood on the snow where Misaki was digging. Her fingers were bleeding due to the numbness!
"Misaki, you're bleeding! You need to-"
"SAKURA, I WON'T STOP UNTIL HE'S FOUND! !" Misaki refused to stop, ignoring the pain on her fingers. "TENDOU... WHERE ARE YOU! ?"
"Misaki... " Sakura whispered.
"COME ON, EVERYONE! ! DON'T GIVE UP! !" Bud encouraged them loudly.
As Misaki continued, her fingers shed more blood on the snow as her heart ached. She didn't want him to die. She hadn't repay her debt to him yet. She wanted to know what he needed to tell her. Unable to find him, she slammed her fists on the snow in frustration as painful tears fell on her face.
"Misaki." Sakura and Shizuko lowered their eyes in sadness and hugged their friend. They started to understand how she felt about him.
The long black haired girl shut her eyes to prevent her tears from falling, but it was useless. She hadn't told him her how she feels about him. "Tendou... please... if you're nearby... " she clenched her fists and shook them in frustration before hollered at the top of her lung, "ONEGAI SHINANAIDE (PLEASE DON'T DIE), TENDOU! !"
"Tendou... Tendou... Tendou... Tendou... " Her voice echoed his name repeatedly throughout the area.
Everyone turned to the crying girl and lowered their heads in sorrow, realizing they might be too late to save him. The Seika High male students were surprised to see her crying for the first time.
"M..st..r Te..do.. Master Tendou... Master Tendou!" Draco called him loudly from his Hunter-VG, "Master Tendou, you have to wake up!"
The spiky brown-haired teenager heard his Imagin partner's voice and slowly opened his eyes. "D-Draco... "
"Master Tendou, you mustn't fall right now! You made a promise to Misaki, remember! ?"
"M-My promise... ?" Tendou questioned, then remembered what his partner was talking about as his eyes were wide open. He made a promise to protect her! "I... " Feeling a small heat on his chest, he clenched both of his fists and crawled his way out with every ounce of energy he had left in him. "I WILL PROTECT MISAKI! !"
*Kamen Rider Fourze OST - Cry of the Heart ended*
Misaki couldn't stop her tears from falling, feeling her heart broken into millions of pieces as her friends deepened the hug. "Tendou... I... I... "
Suddenly, a fist pierced through the snow slope from afar, causing everyone to change their attention to it.
"Misaki, look!" Sakura notified her friend, pointing at it.
The long black-haired girl opened her eyes, then widened them at the sight.
The fist dropped and palmed on the slope before the second one popped out. Then, a head with brown hair came out and crawled his body out. Gasping for some air, Tendou finally made it out and revealed he had lost his dark blue jacket. Being buried from the snow, he couldn't stop chattering his teeth. He rolled down on the slope until he hit the bottom.
Misaki gasped and slowly stood up, wishing it wasn't a dream.
It was a miracle!
Tendou felt his legs wobble and weakly stood up, stumbling from the coldness. He took the first step before taking the second one, walking forward at a slow movement.
"T-Tendou... TENDOU! !" Misaki rushed towards him as every Seika High student followed.
"NEW KID! !" The Moron Trio exclaimed in joy.
Tendou didn't have any energy left as he collapsed on the snowy ground with a thud.
"Tendou!" Misaki dropped to her knees in front of him and lifted his head up, "Tendou... ?" The Seika High students gathered behind her.
The spiky brown-haired slowly opened his eyes, seeing her in tears. "Mi... sa... ki... " he gave her a weak smile.
Misaki smiled in relief and brought her arms around him in a tight hug, "Tendou, thank goodness you're okay!"
The entire Seika High student cried happily to see him in one piece.
Tendou didn't have the energy to complain about her tight hug and lost consciousness.
"Bye-bye... " Misaki bid farewell in a sad tone and released her hand from his.
He failed to reach her with his right hand and painfully watched her fall to her death.
"MISAKI! !" Tendou sat up quickly, drenched in sweat. Looking around, he noticed he was in an infirmary room.
Sitting beside him, Misaki froze with an apple on her left hand and a knife on her right, and there were bandages on her fingers.
"T-Tendou... " she dropped the apple with a gasp before launching herself at him with a tight hug, "Tendou, you're okay!" she exclaimed happily.
"OWOWOWOW! !" Tendou cried in pain from her sudden tight embrace as the latter immediately broke the hug.
"Sorry!"
"Aaahh! How long was I out?" he asked, noticing the bandages on his torso and arms.
"You've been asleep for a day. Everyone was worried about you after you got caught in the avalanche. Who knew that chameleon monster had a backup plan after Megaman sent him flying."
"I see. What about the hotel?"
"Everything's in good hand, thanks to that magician in a black cape and that giant yeti. Those two were the ones who saved the hotel from the avalanche and those Noise Jammers!" Misaki answered brightly, "I was right, those two are the StarForce!" she assumed.
"I don't think so. Wonder what changed them?" Tendou questioned thoughtfully.
There were two middle-aged men walking their way to the parking lot: one was blonde in a purple outfit, and the other was a chubby man in a pink suit with gold lining.
One of the female assistants in a business suit with a gold tie opened the purple limo door for them.
"Hold it!"
The two men turned to see a spiky blue-haired wrestler they recognized.
Bud finally caught up to them, wanting to ask them about their unusual deeds. "Why did you two save the hotel? That's unlikely of you!"
"Tch! Don't get the wrong idea. We're only doing this to stop the Repliforce." the pink-suited man answered bitterly.
"It was our mistakes to join them 23 years ago." the blonde man followed with a frown, "If the Repliforce wants to end the world, that includes our lives as well. Come on, Rich, you're buying me a new snowmobile." he said, entering the limo.
"Yeah, yeah, Hyde. One sec." Rich snapped his finger as another one of his female assistants came out of the limo with a briefcase. "Give this money to the owner of the Grizzly Peak. It's for the damage from the Noise Jammers."
The lady handed the briefcase to Bud.
"Wait a minute, are you being-"
"LIKE I SAID, DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA! !" Rich yelled before they entered the vehicle and drove off.
Inside the limo
"Hehe. Richie, did that new Megaman make you a bit soft?" Hyde asked, drinking a small glass of fruit juice.
Rich faced the window with a scowl. "Tch! Back when we joined the Dark Galaxy with Skull, that kid opened our eyes. This is all we can do for him... we owe him big."
Misaki handed him a slice of apple to Tendou as he took it and munched on it.
"How's your injury?" she asked.
"It's not that bad." he simply answered.
"Not that bad! ? Tendou, you nearly had frostbite all over your body! How's that not bad! ?" Misaki leaned forward and raised her voice.
"Hey, I've been through worst. It takes more than a frostbite to kill me." Tendou countered, taking another slice of apple in his right hand.
Misaki yielded with a sigh and calmed down, then remembered yesterday when they were on the snowmobile. "Tendou, what is it that you have to tell me?" she asked.
Tendou paused for a moment and remembered something important. Back when he was buried at the snow, he figured out why he had this unknown feeling inside him when he first met her.
He was clearly in love with her.
Now he wasn't sure how to tell her: his feelings or his identity.
The spiky brown-haired faced her and prepared to tell her, "Misaki."
"Y-Yes?" the black-haired girl moved the chair a bit closer to him.
"W-What I wanted to tell you was-"
Suddenly, the door was heard open as Bud entered the infirmary room.
"Yo, Tendou! Glad to see you're up! Wanna go skiing! ?" he asked cheerfully, but stopped to see two teenagers leaning closer to each other. "Were you two about to kiss?"
"NOOOOO! !" they retorted with a blush on their face.
To be continued...
