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.

Chapter 45: A New Beginning
Echo Ridge Hospital
After a long, intense battle with the Repliforce, the unconscious Tendou was sent to the emergency room and examined by the doctor and nurses.
All Misaki could do was sit on the chair, pleading for him to stay alive. She was anxiously brooding for his recovery. Sitting next to her on the left was Sakuya, who was fidgeting to comfort his daughter. Not just her, her friends, and the Maid Latte staffs as well.
Sonia rushed to the hallway, making her way to where Misaki and her friends were at. Behind her were Ace, Tia, and Dan in a wheelchair.
"Where is he! ?" the purple-pinkish haired mother asked the group.
"H-He's in there." Satsuki answered in a sad tone, pointing at the emergency room.
Sonia turned to the aquatic FM-ian hovering next to Misaki on her right side, "Aquarius, what's his condition?"
Aquarius let out a deep sigh before answering, "Very severe. I've never seen a human that carries so many wounds on his body."
*insert One Piece ost - Blood Transfusion*
The door was heard open from the emergency room as the doctor, and a nurse came out to the hallway in haste.
From the hallway, Mitch Shepard arrived behind Sonia with heavy panting. "How is he?" he asked the doctor.
"Dad, this is critical! The boy has lost a great deal of blood!"
"We're on our way to get some blood B for this boy!" the nurse added.
Mitch Shepard responded with a quick nod at his two adult children, "Alright, do what you can, you two!"
Behind them, another nurse arrived in the hallway and stopped in front of the doctor, "Sensei, we have an emergency! Our last spare of blood matching the boy's blood type was used on yesterday's surgery! We ran out!" she informed sadly in disappointment.
The doctor, the nurse, and Mitch Shepard gasped in disbelief from the terrible news.
"Blood type B?" Misaki shot her head at them, widening her eyes in surprise.
Sakuya tapped lightly on Misaki's left shoulder, causing his daughter to turn to her father. The former sushi chef led his daughter to a nearby corner to have a private conversation in a whisper.
"What? Even if we send a message to the blood center, they won't make it in time!" the doctor replied.
"Give him my blood!" Sonia spoke, causing the doctor and the nurse to turn at her attention. "I'm willing to give all my blood to my son!" she finished boldly, pulling up her left sleeve.
Her announcement gave everyone a shocking reaction.
Satsuki froze in horror, failing to breathe. "M-My famous star Sonia... g-giving her life... t-to Tendou... " With that, the dark purple-haired woman fainted on the floor as the other staffs hastily gathered around their fallen manager to collect herself.
"Sonia, have you lost your mind! ?" Ace asked in disbelief.
"With all due respect, giving all your blood will cost you your life!" Tia objected.
"Ace, Tia, this is my decision! As much as I love my son, I want Tendou to have a bright future with his life!" Hot tears fell on her cheeks, Sonia endured the pain with a heavy heart. "I may be in pain, but I'm not afraid of dying for my son!"
Everyone in the hallway was silent, unable to stop her brave decision.
"Sonia, you don't have to!" A voice spoke, causing everyone to turn to the owner. It was Sakuya, and next to him was Misaki. "We'll give sonny our blood!" The spiky black-haired man volunteered, pulling up his right sleeve, "My daughter and I are blood type B. We have the same blood as you and sonny! We had an agreement to donate some of our blood for sonny! We owe our debt to him!"
"S-Sakuya... Misaki... " Hearing his words touched Sonia's heart, unable to contain herself, as more tears fell on her face, earning an assuring nod from both father and daughter. She took a few steps forward and gave them a deep hug in her arms, "Th-Thank you so much... This means a lot!"
Mitch Shepard interjected the three, "I didn't mean to interrupt, but we don't have time for this! Tendou's life is on the line!"
The three broke the hug as the nurse stood near them, "Let's hurry to the clean room!"
"Okay!" Sakuya and Misaki responded with a nod before following the nurse.
Sonia felt the pain in her heart disappearing, letting out a sigh of relief.
Soon, the doctor and nurse returned to the emergency room with two plastic bags of blood in their hands. They quickly set up the blood transfusion while treating Tendou's bruises. One of the plastic bags of blood slowly flowed its way through the intravenous line and made it into Tendou's blood vessels.
Sakuya and Misaki were back on the chair with band-aids on their arms. They donated their blood as much as they could for Tendou. Misaki had tears formed in her eyes, wondering if she didn't donate enough blood. Sakuya noticed how anxious his daughter was as he wrapped his arms around Misaki to soothe her worriedness. Unable to shake this feeling off, the long black-haired girl returned the tight hug to her father and cried onto his chest.
All everyone could do was wait.
*One Piece ost - Blood Transfusion ended*
The next day
Tendou was comatose on the bed with multiple bandages on his body. Next to him, Misaki had been by his side for the whole day without leaving the room. The long black-haired girl couldn't shake this anxious feeling off and started to lose her patience. She reached her hands to Tendou's left hand and grasped it tight.
*insert Detective Conan ending 11 - Start in my life*
Ii koto bakari no mirai janai keredo (The future will bring misfortune, but... )
Tashika ni ima wa ashita ni mukai dare yori mo kagayaki (I will continue running to tomorrow, brightly shining.)
The door was opened, revealing the Maid Latte staffs in their casual clothes. And behind them was the Moron Trio, entering the room quietly.
Koko ni tatteiru koware kake souna ima ni namidashi soredemo (Now, standing here, shedding tears for the weak... Even... ) [Soredemo (Even... )]
We can start in my life issho ni (We can start in my life together... )

Later, Sonia arrived to see her unconscious son. Behind her were Sakuya and Ace.
Nee mou hitori no jibun ni aeru kara (You can even meet your other self.)
Kimochi hitotsu de kawarerun da (With one feeling, we can change.)
Soon, the door slid open and revealed Dan in a wheelchair, guided by his mother, Tia.

*Detective Conan ending 11 - Start in my life ended*
"Tendou... " Misaki spoke in a sad tone, "If you can hear me... I want you to know that there are no other men that are kind and unselfish like you... " Her body trembled as she squeezed his left hand firmly, messaging him not to yield to the other world.
Hearing Misaki's sad voice, Sakuya, the Maid Latte staffs, and the Moron Trio stayed silent and tried their best to contain themselves from crying.
Tears fell from Misaki's eyes as her voice choked from sobbing. "Tendou... I love you... so please... please wake up... " she pleaded desperately. She lowered her head and closed her eyes shut to prevent her tears from falling. Moments later, she felt a slight twitch on her hands. With a short sniff, she raised her hand and saw his left fingers twitching a bit. She gasped lightly in astonishment, witnessing a small groan from him.
The unconscious Tendou began to crack his eyes bit by bit until they were opened half-way.
Sakuya, the Maid Latte staffs, and the Moron Trio widened their eyes in disbelief with a small smile to see him alive.
It was a miracle.
Misaki felt her heartbeat in joy as if he heard her voice. "T-Tendou... "
Tendou's breathing was heavy and slow as he turned his head to the left to see his girlfriend in tears. "...M... Mi... Misaki... You're... okay... ?" his voice sounded weak and low.
"Tendou!" Misaki smiled happily at him as she removed her hands from his left hand, reaching for a tissue to wipe her tears. "I'm so glad... you're alive!"
The spiky brown-haired blinked slowly and gave her a short smile. Letting out slow breathing, his eyes started to feel blurry and heavy. "Misaki... I'm... I'm sorry... " he slowly faced the ceiling and closed his eyes, "I'm... so... sleepy... Just... let me... sleep peacefully... "
Misaki dropped her smile in shock to hear the last part of his word, feeling the emptiness in her heart. "No, Tendou, you can't! Tendou... ?" she called him, but there was no response from him. "No... " Her eyes saddened with hot tears dropping on her cheeks once more.
Sakuya, the Maid Latte staffs, and the Moron Trio lost their excitement and couldn't believe it was happening. Their faces were filled with dread at the sight.
"Uhh, Misa-Omph!" Dan wanted to speak, but Tia quickly stopped her son by covering his mouth with her right hand.
"N-No... " Misaki shook her head, feeling the tremendous pain in her heart. She didn't want this to happen, but wished this was all just a nightmare. She lunged at him and wrapped her arms around her boyfriend with all her might, screaming his name at the top of her lung. "TEEEEEDOOOOUUUU! ! !"
"NEEEEEW KIIIIIID! !" The Moron Trio followed with heavy hearts.
The Maid Latte staffs covered their mouths, crying painfully at the heartbreaking sight. Sakuya faced the wall and cried on his right arm in pain. He couldn't believe he just lost the perfect boy to be with his first daughter.
The room was filled with painful sobs, except for Sonia, Ace, Tia, and Dan.
At that moment, Tendou immediately sprung up and yelled at the top of his lung with his enlarged head, "WILL YOU ALL PIPE DOWN! ? I ASKED FOR YOU TO LET ME SLEEP! !"
Retrieving back to the chair, Misaki stared at Tendou with a bewildered look on her face. Sakuya, the Maid Latte staffs, and the Moron Trio were more baffled than her.
In their minds, "He's still so spirited?"
"SERIOUSLY, I RISKED MY LIFE SAVING YOUR BUTTS, BUT YOU CAN'T LET ME HAVE A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP! ?" Tendou questioned irritatedly.
The room was silent, earning a blank look on everyone's faces. Sonia, Ace, and Tia tried to refrain from laughing.
Misaki was the first to break the silence, pointing at him repeatedly with her trembling right finger, "You're... You're... Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You're alive! ?"
"OF COURSE, I'M ALIVE! ! YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WAS A GONER! ?"
"BUT DAN SAID YOUR MEGA DYNAMITE WAS SUICIDE! !" Misaki pointed at the latter with her left finger.
"Actually, I didn't mean that kind of suicide. I meant it was dangerous to use it in his condition. Once he uses the Mega Dynamite, it causes extremely sustained damage to his body." Dan explained briefly.
Dumbfounded, Misaki dropped her mouth in disbelief from hearing the latter.
Sakuya couldn't help but stammered, "Y-You mean... th-this whole time... we cried for no reason! ?" he questioned tearfully.
Tendou laid back on the bed with his eyes closed, "Using my Mega Dynamite was dangerously risky. It really took a beating out of me. Because of the side-effect, I had to stay asleep for 24 hours after using it. Do me a favor. Quit being so noisy and let me sleep."
A fiery aura engulfed Misaki's body with red eyes. She was furious at him for making her heartbroken not once, but twice. "I DONATED MY BLOOD FOR YOU FOR NOTHING! ?" she faced him angrily.
"Huh?" The spiky brown-haired cracked his left eye open.
"TENDOU, YOU BAKA! ! !" the long black-haired girl struck her right hand at him with a loud slap.
Sonia, Ace, Tia, Dan, Sakuya, and the Maid Latte staffs left the room to leave the couple alone and closed the door.
"As always, that girl is terrifying." Ace trembled in horror, feeling the chill down his spine from Misaki's wrath.
"Reminds me of you when you forgot about Mom's birthday one time, Dad." Dan replied with a light laugh.
Ace placed his right hand on his son's head and playfully ruffled his hair, "Don't go there."
"So... Tendou was alive this whole time?" Satsuki asked Sonia.
Sonia chuckled nervously, "Yeah... Ehehehe... He knows how to make these dramatic deaths."
Sakuya placed his left hand on Sonia's right shoulder and gave her a thumbs up with his other hand, "Don't worry about him, Sonia, I trust sonny with my life!"
Before they could leave to the hallway, a figure stood before the group. Their eyes widened in shock to see a certain friend they didn't expect to meet.
Misaki finally calmed down, but noticed a fazed look on Tendou's face for quite a while, "Is something wrong?"
"Yeah... during my fight with Sigma, he was able to separate his body like Turn X... and after you guys rescued me from execution, he didn't use it as if his body had a small malfunction." Tendou answered, trying to figure out the cause.
The Moron Trio grew a smirk as they crossed their arms in unison.
"We know the answer to that, new kid!" Shirokawa boasted.
"You do?" Tendou turned to them with a confused look, followed by Misaki, earning a wider smirk on the Moron Trio's face.
"While you were... uh, dead before you turned into that scary black Megaman, we went head-on to give that bald guy some butt whoopin'." the light blonde started.
"Most of the classmates, and us, climbed on his separated body parts." Ryuunosuke followed.
"We happened to grab some crazy glues from the trash... " Sarashina added, "So... "
"WE USED UP ALL THE CRAZY GLUE ON HIS BODY! !" they finished proudly with a thumbs up, "YOU HAVE OUR THANKS, NEW KID! !"
Misaki was a bit surprised at the Moron Trio.
Tendou seemed unimpressed, "First off, I wanna beat the crap out of you three for interfering the fight." he said coldly, earning frightful looks on their faces, "-but I'll let it slide." he finished, changing their faces to big smiles, "Secondly, what is this black Megaman you're talking about? My Black Joker can't be that scary."
The Moron Trio paused for a moment before turning around, whispering to each other.
"Should we tell new kid about his scary black Megaman power?" Ryuunosuke asked.
"I think it's better if we let him see it for himself." Shirokawa suggested.
"Agree." Sarashina nodded shortly as the three agreed unanimously before turning back to Tendou.
"You know, new kid... forget about what we just said." Shirokawa said.
"New kid, if it's more blood you want, we'll be happy to share some of our blood for you!" Ryuunosuke insisted happily.
"HAVE YOU THREE LOST YOUR MIND! ? IT HAS TO BE THE SAME BLOOD TYPE! !" Misaki barked at them.
"BUT MISA-CHAN, NEW KID WILL GET STRONGER IF WE MIX HIS BLOOD WITH OURS! !" Sarashina corrected her.
"THAT'S THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD! ! TENDOU WILL DIE FROM THAT! !"
"YOU THREE DON'T HAVE ANY COMMON SENSE AT ALL! !"
An overbed table was moved to Tendou's laps, and a tray of chicken salad and a bottle of water were placed on top.
"Enjoy your meal, Master Tendou."
"Thank, Draco." Tendou slowly lifted his right arm due to the heavyweight from using Gemini Brothers. He grabbed the bottle and took a sip. He suddenly paused from the familiar voice as everyone laid their bulged eyes at a certain Imagin.
It was none other than Draco, standing in the center of the room.
At that moment, Tendou spat his mouthful of water like a firehose in shock.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! !" the Moron Trio screamed in disbelief with their arms in the air.
"D-D-DRACO! ?" Misaki gaped in utter shock and bewilderment.
"MISAKI, YOU TOLD ME HE WAS DEAD! !"
"H-HE DID, RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES! !"
"I suggest you all remain calm so I can explain." Draco told everyone before they complied momentarily. Once the room was quiet, he continued. "To be frank, it was a prank."
"YOU PRANKED ME! ?" Misaki stood up from her chair in disbelief.
"Allow me to explain. Originally, I intended to use the fake death prank on Master Tendou during his fight with Sigma." Draco said truthfully, earning an astonishing look on Tendou's face. "It was supposed to be like this... "
The Imagin dragon pictured Megaman (Tendou) battling Sigma while wielding Draco Sword in his hands. Megaman (Tendou) was losing the fight with heavy injuries, and Sigma finished him off by firing his right armed-cannon directly at him. Draco Sword reverted into his Imagin form and took the hit to protect his partner, ending his life. After Megaman (Tendou) defeated Sigma, Draco made his surprise appearance behind him.
"However, I didn't expect to use it on you, Misaki."
Hearing Draco's plot, both Tendou and Misaki couldn't find a word to speak. They were beyond speechless.
The door was opened, allowing Momotaros in the room. "Heeheehee! Looks like our plan was a success, Dragon!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! AN ONI (DEMON)! !" The Moron Trio screamed.
"QUIT CALLING ME AN ONI (DEMON)! ! ORE WA (I AM) IMAGIN! !" Momotaros retorted at them.
"Hold on a sec, what plan! ?" Tendou questioned.
Momotaros pointed at Tendou and Misaki with his right index finger, "While you two lovebirds were busy smooching at DenLiner, Dragon asked us a favor of how to fake his death. It took us a while to get his acting right before we arrived at your school." the red Imagin explained before turning to the viewers, "Oi, you people out there, if you don't understand about the fake death prank, go watch the last episode of Kamen Rider Den-O, and you'll see!"
"Momotaros, who are you talking to?" Draco asked.
"I'm talking to our viewers out there!"
Listening to the red Imagin was giving everyone a headache.
The Moron Trio was the first to leave the room, pretending they didn't understand a word from Momotaros.
"Let's just tell everyone new kid's alive." Sarashina suggested blankly.
"Yeah, let's do that." Shirokawa and Ryuunosuke agreed without a second thought.
Once everyone left, it was just Tendou and Misaki in a quiet room. They failed to make eye contact but lay them on the floor. Tendou frowned slightly, trying to find a way to talk to her. Misaki couldn't stop twirling her fingers from the awkward moment. Neither of them had said a word for quite some time until Tendou was the first to break the silence.
"So... what happened to that Tora bastard?"
Misaki grew a small smile from that question, "I beat him." she answered a bit cheerfully.
Hearing her answer gave him a surprise. He didn't expect his girlfriend to defeat Tora on her first battle. It was very expected. "Misaki." the spiky brown-haired called, causing her to face him. "So, um... how do you feel?" he asked with a bit of hesitation.
Misaki blinked in confusion, "Huh? About what?"
Tendou sighed deeply with his eyes closed before facing her, "About me. Now that you know I'm a StarForce... " He turned away shortly with a small blush, "I was hoping this doesn't affect our relationshi-" Unable to finish his sentence, Misaki grabbed the collar of his shirt and yanked him. Taken by surprise, she planted a kiss directly on his lips with her eyes closed.
Sonia and the Maid Latte staffs were eavesdropping on the two with the door slightly opened for a while. They gasped with a light blush to see them kissing.
Breaking their lips apart, Misaki smiled at him with a light blush. "Does that answer your question?" Unable to speak, Tendou's face became red as a tomato. He wanted to lift his right hand to his mouth but failed due to the heavyweight. The long black-haired girl could read his face like a book, "Can I ask you something?"
"Uhh... sure."
"How come you're not moving your arms?" she asked, looking at his arms on the bed. She wondered why he hadn't move them since he woke up.
Tendou wanted to explain to her about the side-effect of using Gemini Brothers, but caught sight at the opened door. Turning to the doorway, he saw his mother with excited looks and the Maid Latte staffs with hearts on their faces.
"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING US! ?"
Two weeks later
10am
Tendou was finally released from the hospital. Before he could make his way home, Misaki messaged him to come to Seika High. Right now, he was halfway to Seika High in a wheelchair, guided by Draco holding the handles.
"Draco, you know, I can do this on my own." the spiky brown-haired said. On his laps were two boxes of two dozen riceballs.
"I can't allow you to eat and push the wheelchair at the same time, Master Tendou." Draco recommended, "It's not a good habit."
Tendou swallowed his food before letting out a small sigh, "I didn't want to be on a wheelchair again. It isn't comfortable."
"The doctor did say you're recovered, but not entirely. Please do refrain from patrolling for a while."
The two made it to Seika High and passed through the gate. Tendou scanned the field to see the damage he had caused, remembering how Sigma invaded the school to expose his identity in front of every student. Thinking about that day gave him a bad vibe.
Draco knew how he felt that day as he continued forward to the front door of the school building. Once they made it, there was a note attached to the door with tape. Tendou snagged it off with his right hand and read the note.
"New kid, when you see this, please make your way to the gym!"
Tendou simply gave Draco a nod as the latter proceeded to the gymnasium.
Outside the school building, Sakura was hiding from the corner as she took out her cellphone. "Shizuka, new kid is on his way." she gave her friend the signal.
"Okay. Minna (Everyone), get in places!" Shizuka notified from the other line.
Walking through the hallway, Tendou and Draco made it to the gymnasium. The young fighter pushed the door opened to see the gymnasium was pitch-black, earning a confused look on his face.
"Okay... " was all he could say.
Draco closed the door and pushed the wheelchair lightly. The two looked around the quiet, dark room to see many lengthy tables with white clothes and chairs.
"Something feels off." Tendou frowned lightly, feeling a bit suspicious as he took a bite of his riceball.
Suddenly, a few lights were turned on, causing Tendou and Draco to turn to the center of the gym. Tendou widened his eyes in amazement at the sight, and it couldn't be more beautiful if it were possible.
Misaki was wearing a light blue dress to her legs with black heels, and her long black hair was styled into flowy. Behind her were the Maid Latte staffs with the same heels but in different dress colors. Satsuki was wearing a purple dress that matched her hair with frills on the shoulders. Honoka was wearing a regular white dress with strings on her shoulders. Erika was wearing a red dress with flower patterns on the edge and a tiny hint of cleavage. Subaru was wearing a blue dress with a bow on the center of the collar. They all held a microphone in their right hands.
Tendou had no idea what was happening right now. His eyes were locking on her, entrenched by her astounding beauty. No one said anything as the music started to play in the gym.
*insert PANDORA / Be The One*
Misaki raised her microphone to her mouth, "This is for you, Tendou!" she announced as they began to sing all together.
Kono mama aruki-tsuzuketeru konya mo massugu (Tonight again, I keep on walking down this same path)

Misaki: You will be the one! We'll make a way~ !
*PANDORA / Be The One ended*
Her voice echoed in the gym as the light dimmed for a moment. Soon, the entire light was turned on in the gym.
Misaki didn't hear any response from her boyfriend as she opened her eyes to see him facing the other way. "TENDOU, DID YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO US AT ALL! ?" she yelled.
Hiding from behind the white-clothed tables, most of the Seika high students weren't amused at his reaction.
"NEW KID, WHAT'S WITH YOU! ?"
"NEW KID, YOU MEANIE! !"
"WE WORKED VERY HARD FOR THIS! !"
"SHOW SOME RESPECT TO KAICHOU! !"
Draco reached his right hand out to halt them as they complied. The Imagin dragon turned the wheelchair the way it was, earning an alarming reaction from everyone to see the unexpected.
Tendou was crying while eating! ?
"T-Tendou, are you okay?" Satsuki asked worriedly.
"How much has he been eating?" Honoka added.
"I'm touched because no one has ever sung a song to me before!" Tendou wiped his tears away before swallowing his riceball, "And you finally showed up after two weeks! I was wondering why you didn't visit me!" he raised his voice at her, "I only brought two dozen of onigiri (riceball) because there's not enough tasty food at the hospital!" he added, grabbing another one with a long yawn.
Everyone became bewildered to witness his multiple expressions with blank looks on their faces.
In their minds: "Are his tears mixed with joy, anger, sadness, and slumber?"
"WHAT IS WITH YOU, TENDOU! ? GET MAD OR CRY OR SLEEP OR EAT! ! DO ONE AT A TIME! ! YOU'RE COMPLETELY NOT RESTFUL! !" Misaki shouted.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MISAKI! ? I'M VERY RESTFUL! !" Tendou retorted, pointing at himself with his right thumb, then letting out another long yawn.
"SEE! ? THAT PROVES YOU'RE NOT FULLY RECOVERED! !" Misaki countered, "JUST DON'T BE GREEDY! ! ONCE THIS PARTY IS OVER, YOU'RE GOING BACK HOME AND HIT THE BED! !"
"Party? What are you talking about? This is a party? For who?" he asked with a confused look.
"It's for you!" a voice answered from behind.
Draco turned the wheelchair around to help Tendou as the two saw Luna standing by the doorway. However, she wasn't the only one. His parents, Ace, Tia, Dan, Jack, Bud, Pat, Zero, Axl, the rest of the StarForce's identities, and the five multicolored Imagins.
Luna walked forward until she stopped in front of Tendou with her hands on her hips, "Misaki told me everything. You saved everyone's life from the Repliforce with your fists instead of your Megaman power. I had to admit you showed some heroic guts to fight for their lives. Unlike the Legendary Megaman, he had never done that back in the days."
"I'm standing right here." Geo mumbled with a small frown, assuming it was an insult, while the others tried to restrain themselves from laughing.
"Today, everyone in this school wants to celebrate your victory for saving their lives and the world from the Repliforce." Luna continued, crossing her arms with a smile at the students. "My butlers will cook as many meals as they can, so feel free to eat up till your hearts are filled!"
The entire Seika High students felt ecstatic from the wonderful news.
"NO WAY, A MEAL FROM A FAMOUS, RICH MODEL! ?"
"THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! !"
"I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY ONE! !"
"THIS CAN'T BE A DREAM! !"
"SOMEONE PINCH ME! !"
The Maid Latte staffs were overjoyed to have one of Luna's homecooked meals from her butlers.
Misaki was surprised the most. Neither she nor her family had never tried a single meal from rich people before. "Luna, is this really necessary? I mean, this is a bit too much." she asked in concern.
"Misaki, I am rich and generous, too! Unlike the other rich people, I'm not like them!" Luna answered truthfully with a small frown before turning to Tendou, "Tendou, all my butlers are in the cafeteria preparing a feast soon. Do you think you could snack on your onigiri until then?" she asked, pointing at his two boxes of riceballs with her right index finger.
"Okay." the spiky brown-haired swiftly grabbed all of the riceballs and gobbled them in one fell swoop.
The entire Seika High students and the Maid Latte staffs bulged their eyes at his quick devouring in disbelief.
"WHAT WAS THAT, NEW KID! ?" Shirokawa questioned loudly.
"WAS THAT SORT OF TRICK! ?" Sarashina added.
"NO PERSON CAN EAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT! !" Ryuunosuke followed.
"The hospital had been serving me nothing but chicken salad. To satisfy my stomach, I'm gonna eat two weeks' worth of food." Tendou declared. Draco took the two empty boxes and searched his way to dispose of them.
Luna giggled lightly at him, "I knew you would say something like that. My butlers are professional for many years! They won't lose to some youngster's stomach, so eat as much as you can!"
Misaki seemed fazed by her boyfriend's words, "There's no way you can eat two weeks worth of food." she thought, "If you happen to get food poisoning, I'm not dragging you back to the hospital."
"Misaki." Tendou called, his voice sounded serious. "After today, I won't be coming back here anymore."
"Huh?"
Luna helped him turn the wheelchair around to have him face her.
"Have you forgotten? I'm expelled due to the damage I have cost, and my secret identity has been exposed." Tendou told her bitterly, earning a shocking reaction from his parents.
The long flowy black-haired girl didn't forget about the incident that day. It was the most terrifying day she had ever experienced. Misaki crossed her arms with a wide smirk, "Well, I have two things to say. First of all, you're officially unexpelled!" she informed proudly.
"Unexpelled? What do you mean?" Tendou asked with a confused look.
"I had a long discussion with Kouchou-sensei (Principal), and it was a harsh one." Misaki boasted.
Hearing the good news made the young fighter speechless, "I... I don't know what to say."
"Looks like you owe me one." Misaki snapped her right finger, "And second, today is your lucky day, you're going to sing for everyone!" she declared with an evil smile.
"EEHH! ? Why do I have to sing! ?"
Misaki put out her three fingers and began her list, "One, Papa, and I donated our blood to save you from dying, which you weren't. Two, you made me cry. And three, you lied to me about who you are since the beginning."
Tendou had an unimpressed look on his face, "What kind of ridiculous reasons did you make! ?"
"HOW RUDE OF YOU! ! CALLING MY REASONS RIDICULOUS! ? BESIDES, YOU OWE ME A DEBT FOR SAVING YOUR LIFE! !" Misaki retorted.
"THAT SOUNDS VERY UNREASONABLE! ! THAT'S NOT LIKE YOU AT ALL! ! IT'S MORE LIKE YOU WERE ASKED BY EVERYONE IN THIS SCHOOL NONSTOP SO THEY CAN SEE ME SING! !" Tendou assumed.
On cue, the entire Seika High students froze in their spot and lost their color. They didn't expect he would figure that out so quickly. The girls felt disappointed, wanting to hear him sing in person. Not just them, the Maid Latte staffs as well.
Facepalming, Sonia couldn't bear to see sad looks on the students' faces. She walked over to her son and whispered, "Tendou, just sing for them. You're making me disappointed as a former celebrity."
Misaki didn't want to tell him how she sang better. During his hospitalization, she requested Sonia to show Tendou her appreciation for everything he had done for her by teaching her how to improve her singing. However, the Maid Latte staffs overheard the conversation and wanted to join in as well. For the past two weeks, they had been practicing their singing from Sonia. Not just the singing, her flowy hair was done by Luna, who suggested to make the girl's hairstyle more elegant to surprise him. And after that, she decided to host a party for Tendou.
"So Tendou, what do you say?" the long flowy black-haired girl asked with a smile.
"To be honest, Misaki, I'm afflicted with "anymore-walking-will-kill-my-legs" disea-"
"DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT LIE AGAIN! !" Misaki retorted, refusing to fall for that again.
"Damn it, I thought she had forgotten about it after all the fighting." Tendou thought aggravatingly, "Alright, I'll sing!" he yielded, earning a happy exclaim from the Seika High female students and the Maid Latte staffs.
"Wise choice." Misaki smiled pleasantly.
"But only if you let these guys sing with me!" Tendou added, pointing at the five multicolored Imagins.
Misaki was fazed by his sudden condition. "He wants his oni (demon) friends to sing with him?" She turned to Sonia with a confused look as the mother responded with an assuring nod. The long flowy black-haired girl turned back to Tendou, "Okay, I'll allow them."
Hearing her approval, Tendou got off the wheelchair and stumbled from his wobbling legs. He nearly fell as Sonia caught her son from falling.
"Tendou, are you sure?" the purple-pinkish haired mother asked worriedly, removing her arms.
"I'm alright, Kaa-san." Tendou turned to his five Imagin friends, "You guys, get in! We're singing!" he notified them.
"Yosha!" Momotaros exclaimed as the five walked to the center of the gym, "So kid, what are we singing?" he asked.
"We're singing that." Tendou answered dully.
"That? What's that?" Momotaros questioned, tilting his head.
"You know what I'm referring to! It's the only song we sing in a group!" Tendou retorted.
After a few seconds, Momotaros finally remembered. "Oh, that song! Why didn't you say so?"
"It's not that hard to figure it out!"
Misaki and the Maid Latte staffs handed their microphones to the five Imagins, and noticed they were one microphone short.
"Tendou, can you sing without one?" Subaru asked.
"I've got it cover." Tendou took out his dark blue Hunter-VG from his pocket and pressed some buttons. His Hunter-VG projected a wireless headset as he placed it on his head before putting his device back in his pocket.
Misaki was surprised to see an object came out of a Hunter-VG. She didn't expect it could do that.
The five multicolored Imagin formed a horizontal line, and Tendou stood in front of them, taking their moment before they sang together.

The light in your heart
The Seika High female students squealed and cheered in amazement to witness his singing, and the boys were astonished. The Maid Latte staffs had hearts in their eyes to hear his amazing voice with more effort than before back at the concert.
Suna no kaze ni nomi komarete (As you're engulfed by the sandy winds)

*Light in Your Heart by V6 (from Chou Ultra 8 Brothers) ended*
A round of applause was heard from every Seika High student in the gym.
"HOW TALENTED IS HE! ?"
"NEW KID, I WANT YOUR AUTOGRAPH! !"
Sighing tiredly, Tendou didn't fully understand the popularity of a celebrity. He wanted to run away from the girls if they tried to chase him again.
Draco came from the hallway and stood beside Luna. "Pardon me, Luna, the food has been prepared."
"Alright, send my butlers in." the blonde model replied. Draco nodded and proceeded his way back to the cafeteria.
20 minutes later
Multiple butlers entered the gym with steel plates in their hands and placed them on the clothed tables. When they removed the covers, all the Seika High students were amazed to see numerous foreign food right before their eyes. Everyone had food in their respective plates, enjoying their meals as if was a buffet.
Misaki was stunned, laying her eyes at her plate of food. "This... This is how rich people eat?" she questioned thoughtfully, taking a small piece of roast chicken with honey barbeque sauce to her mouth. When she took it in her mouth, her eyes widened in amazement from the unexplainable flavor on her tastebud. Swallowing it, she felt her body was in heaven and two cupids flying around her.
Sitting next to her from the left, Sakura and Shizuka took a bite and felt the taste in their mouths.
"No way, this King Crab sushi is delicious!" Sakura exclaimed at the impeccable flavor.
"I've never thought her father was originally a sushi chef." Shizuka commented, examining a rainbow roll sushi in her right hand.
"Misaki, tell me, what's his secret reci-" Sakura turned to Misaki, seeing her friend rigid as if she was about to reach to heaven. "MISAKI, COME BACK TO US! !" the dark salmon pink-haired girl shook her friend desperately to snap her out.
Sitting next to Misaki from the right, Aquarius was enjoying her meal with puffy cheeks. "Sooo yummy! Humans sure have such delicious food!" she took another bite of a triangular riceball.
Misaki regained her sense and turned her head at her aquatic FM-ian partner with a puzzled look, "Ummm, Aquarius, where does all that food go if you don't have a stomach?" she questioned skeptically.
"That's something you wouldn't understand even if I tell you." Aquarius replied sweetly.
The Moron Trio finished their meals and went to the table for their next plate of food.
"Can you believe it? Misa-chan actually kicked the Kaichou of Miyabigaoka right in the coconuts!" Sarashina laughed.
"That guy totally deserves it for blowing Maid Latte up to smithereens!" Shirokawa had never felt so frustrated in his life as he calmed down by letting out a long exhale. "I wish Misa-chan would kick me in the groin." Ryuunosuke volunteered by giving his light blonde friend a swift kick right between his legs. "OOOOWWW! !" he dropped to his knees, grasping his family jewels in pain.
Ryuunosuke couldn't help but laugh. "Be careful what you wish for, Shiroyan!"
"Ku-Kurotatsu... wh-who said you can kick me... ?" Shirokawa wheezed, failing to move his legs.
Sarashina paid no attention to Shirokawa as he picked some food on his plate. "Hey, new kid, how're you enjoying your-" he turned to Tendou with countless plates, stacking up between him. "EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH! !" the dark blue-haired bulged his eyes in disbelief.
Tendou was wolfing his meals like there was no tomorrow. He sliced the food into smaller pieces and gobbled them. Draco placed two more plates of food on the table for him before making his way back to grab more. The spiky brown-haired stacked the emptied plate on top and gorged on his next one.
The entire Seika High student froze in beyond astonishment to witness his unusual appetite. They had never seen a person who could eat this much.
"H-H-H-How many plates did he have?" Yukimura asked in a quiver.
"I don't remember. I lost count around twenty." Kanou answered calmly.
Sonia's face turned beet red as she tried to hide her face with her left hand, "This is embarrassing."
"Well, he meant what he said, but this is a bit overboard." Geo stated, eating his food slowly. Luna and the rest of the group tried to pay no attention to the commotion as they ate their food peacefully.
Misaki stormed over to her boyfriend and slammed her hands on the table, "TENDOU, WHAT IS WITH YOUR STOMACH! ? HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY EAT THAT MUCH FOOD! ? YOU'VE BEEN EATING LIKE CRAZY SINCE THE HAMBURGER CHALLENGE COMPETITION AT THE GRIZZLY PEAK RESORT! ! IS YOUR STOMACH A BLACK HOLE! ?"
Tendou swallowed his food before calmly answering his girlfriend, "Let's just say I inherited my mom's garbage disposal appetite." He didn't want to explain about how he discovered Sonia's appetite to her. When he asked his mother about it a couple of years back, Sonia told him Geo had the same reaction when they were dating. The spiky brown-haired somehow found it a bit skeptical, so he secretly traveled back in time to do a little investigation on his parents' dating days. With his result, he was astonished to witness his teenage mother's appetite on every date.
"Garbage disposal appetite?" Misaki deadpanned blankly at his answer, then heard the boys' usual behavior as she laid her devil eyes at them one by one. "HEY, CHEW WITH YOUR MOUTH CLOSED! ! YOU, DON'T EAT AND TALK AT THE SAME TIME! ! YOU, DON'T SHOW YOUR FOOD FROM YOUR MOUTH TO THE GIRLS! !"
Sweatdropping, the Maid Latte staffs didn't expect to see Misaki scolding the boys with that tone.
"So this is what Misa-chan's like when she's at school." Satsuki shivered a little.
"I've never thought she would be this scary." Subaru whispered, trying to remain calm.
"Does that explain why Tendou called them "morons"?" Erika questioned.
"I'm more concerned about their marriage." Honoka stated bluntly in a sweet tone.
Misaki caught a few boys making a snowman out of riceballs. "DON'T PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD! ! IF YOU BOYS ARE HAVING FREE TIME, GO DO THE DISHES IN THE KITCHEN! !"
"BUT WE DON'T WANNA! !"
"ARE YOU MEN OR BABIES! ?"
Aquarius observed Misaki's behavior for a moment, starting to find her very complex. "Is Misaki always like this?" she asked Sakura.
"Only to the boys every day. She's very strict to them." the dark salmon pink-haired girl answered truthfully.
"Except for new kid, he's different." Shizuka added.
"Humans are so incomprehensible." Aquarius thought.
Draco arrived at the table with two plates full of sushi. "Master Tendou, these are from Sakuya." he placed them on the table.
"Thanks, Draco." Tendou grabbed a dragon roll and took it in his mouth, changing his eyes into stars from the inexpressible taste. "So good!"
Draco placed a plate for Geo and Sonia's table. "Enjoy."
As the Stelar parents took one, their eyes widened in surprise from Sakuya's handmade sushi. Soon, smiles grew on their faces from the amazing flavor they never had before.
"SO GOOD! !" they exclaimed.
Tendou smiled at his parents from eating Sakuya's sushi. "I knew they would like it. Hey, Occhan, how are you doing over-" Turning to Sakuya, he paused to see him making sushi with a depressing aura. "WHY ARE YOU SO NEGATIVE! ? MISAKI, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HIM IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS! ?"
Misaki crossed her arms with a small frown and answered, "While you were hospitalized, we had a serious talk about him staying back in the house."
"THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY HE'S DEPRESSED! !"
"He'll be sleeping outside." the long flowy black-haired girl finished. She glanced at her father, still thinking about a second thought.
"Do I have to bring him back to my house again?" Tendou questioned thoughtfully. The Maid Latte staffs had sly smiles on their faces, making their approach on Tendou from behind.
Laying her eyes at her father for a moment, Misaki rubbed her chin with her right hand. "Maybe I should talk to Mama about letting Papa-" Her train of thought was interrupted by several giggles close-by as she turned, and froze in shock to see the Maid Latte staffs, surrounding Tendou with an affectionated group hug.
"Who would've thought Megaman with wings was you, Tendou!" Satsuki tenderly rubbed her cheeks against Tendou's repeatedly.
"We want to know what kind of body Megaman has!" Honoka embraced herself on his back.
"How strong is your body?" Subaru asked, feeling the muscle on his right forearm.
"Let us see your Megaman body!" Erika pressed her bosoms on his right shoulder, roaming her right hand on his muscular chest.
The Seika High male students paused in displease to witness four women clinging on Tendou, feeling envious.
In their minds: "How lucky is he! ?"
Geo and Sonia widened their eyes in surprise to see the popularity of their son with four women.
"Who would've thought to see our son having his way with five beautiful girls?" Sonia giggled.
Hearing his wife, Geo nearly choked on his bottle of water. "Sonia, that ain't happening. Our son can't go down on that road. He doesn't know much about girls."
(Note: I found out it was "Ten-cho", not "San-cho" since they sounded a bit alike.)
"TEN-CHO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! ?" Misaki asked loudly.
"We're showing him our appreciation for saving our lives!" the dark purple-haired woman answered perkily.
"HOW IS THAT APPRECIATION! ? IT'S MORE LIKE SEDUCING! !"
Tendou felt uncomfortable by their group hug and couldn't concentrate on his food. "Girls, please give me some space!" he pleaded as the Maid Latte staffs complied. He stood up and walked around the table as he cleared his throat, "I... want to thank you."
Misaki crossed her arms with a frown, "Pervert."
"NOT FOR THAT, MISAKI! !" he retorted, "For saving my life that time." he went on his knees and planted both hands on the floor. "Minna (Everyone), arigato." he bowed his head on the floor, earning everyone's attention to him as they murmured to each other.
"Whoa, whoa! Is it alright for new kid to do something like that?"
"Tendou, this is a grave act. A hero shouldn't lower his head to others, especially his identity." Sonia told him.
"Kaa-san, they risked their lives to save me! I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone. Just like seven years ago, I realize something important... " he raised his head and finished, "There is no such thing as a perfect hero!"
"Sonny... " Sakuya was moved by his words with tears in his eyes.
Satsuki was entranced by his bold words with stars in her eyes.
Geo couldn't help but smile at his son, "Geez, he's even more courageous than me."
Tendou stood up and turned to face the Maid Latte staffs, "Ten-cho, I want to apologize to you about Maid-Latte. It was my mess, and I'll do whatever I can to compensate your café." he lowered his torso, bowing down to the dark purple-haired woman. "I'm terribly sorry."
Satsuki smiled warmly at him, sensing his words full of sincere. "You don't have to apologize, Tendou. We've already got a new job."
"Huh?" the spiky brown-haired looked at her in confusion.
"We're working at WAZA HQ for the time being!" Erika noted.
"In the kitchen with Sakuya!" Subaru added.
Tendou straightened himself and rubbed the back of his head with his left hand, "Well, I didn't expect this... I guess this is okay. And, umm... " He slightly turned away with a red blush on his face.
The Maid Latte staffs started to find him cute with his shyness.
"Tendou, if there's something you want to say, no need to be shy about it." Honoka said in encouragement.
"Uhh... how do I say this... I don't know what's like to have siblings... but you girls are like older sisters to me." he confessed nervously.
Geo, Sonia, and the rest of their friends were astonished to hear him say something very unusual to others before. It was very unlikely of him.
The Maid Latte staffs froze with a light blush on their faces from his heartening words. After a few moments, the four women proceeded to tackle him to the floor with loud squeals and another group hug.
"YOU'RE SO CUTE, TENDOU! !"
"LET US TAKE CARE OF YOU MORE OFTEN! !"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH! ! I TAKE IT BACK! ! FORGET WHAT I JUST SAID! !" Tendou desperately tried to escape from their clinging arms.
All the Seika High male students gave the young fighter the same narrowing stares, filled with jealousy.
Sonia couldn't help but giggle, "Ohoho! My son is now a ladykiller! Who would've thought~ "
Sighing deeply, Misaki approached forward and simply yanked Tendou off the group as he stood next to her. "Ten-cho, that's quite enough." she told her manager before turning to her boyfriend, "Tendou, now that I'm an official StarForce and an agent of WAZA, you're going to train me everything you know."
"Don't think I'll go easy on you." Tendou cocked a smirk with his arms crossed, "I'll instruct you in extreme combat, high-tech weapon and equipment from Battle Cards, and many techniques I've learned from the Legendary StarForce. In short, it's going to be very challenging, extremely demanding, and... " he paused, thought he misheard her. "HOLD ON, YOU BECAME A STARFORCE AND AN AGENT OF WAZA! ? SINCE WHEN! ?" he gaped in surprise.
"While you were hospitalized." the long flowy black-haired girl boasted with a proud smile, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have a chat with your parents." she proceeded her way to his parents' table.
Tendou placed his right hand on his head with a tiring sigh, "This is giving me a migraine." he walked back to his table, but noticed his five multicolored Imagin friends were nowhere to be found as Draco arrived with two more plates in his hands. "Draco, where are Momo and the others?"
"They left a while ago." The Imagin dragon placed two plates on the table, "They told me they had an important task to do. Something about helping Zi-O to save the Heisei Riders from their existence."
"Zi-O?" the young fighter repeated the unknown name in confusion, but shrugged it off. "I'll just enjoy my meals peacefully."
Misaki had taken as many notes as she could from listening to Geo and Sonia about being an agent of WAZA. "With these notes, I'll be able to take down all the foul men in this world!" she grinned with stars in her eyes.
"Misaki, your eyes aren't very convincing at all." Geo said uncomfortably.
"Maybe we should give her the guidebook instead?" Sonia suggested.
Everyone resumed eating their meals in a good manner until a voice disrupted them.
"Hang on, something's been bothering me!" Yukimura called out, earning all the attention to him. "If new kid is the son of the Legendary Megaman, and he's the son of the former famous singer, does that mean... "
Kanou dropped his spoon on the plate, widening his eyes in realization. "The identity of the Legendary Megaman is... "
All the Seika High students, the Maid Lattes staffs, and Sakuya gasped lightly and slowly turned their heads to lock their eyes at the certain man with spiky brown hair. Including Misaki, she stared at her boyfriend's father with her quivering body. Luna and the rest froze, unable to back their friend from this situation. Tendou tried to ignore it, continuing to eat his food casually.
Geo sensed the intense stares at him as he sighed in defeat. He rubbed the back of his head with a nervous laugh, "Eheeheehee! Yep, the Legendary Megaman was me."
The Seika High students, the Maid Latte staffs, and Sakuya gasped loudly and stayed silent for a moment before they screamed in utter shock.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! !"
"N-N-N-N-NEW KID'S FATHER IS THE LEGENDARY MEGAMAN! ! ? ?"
"AND HE MARRIED THE FORMER FAMOUS SINGER, SONIA STRUMM! !"
"NEW KID IS THE SON OF BOTH LEGENDARY MEGAMAN AND THE FORMER, FAMOUS SINGER! ! ? ?"
"NO WAY! ! THAT EXPLAINS WHERE HE GOT THAT FEARLESS FROM! !"
"NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER THE MYSTERY OF THE LEGENDARY MEGAMAN'S IDENTITY UNTIL NOW! !"
"THEN, THAT MEANS NEW KID REALLY IS THE SON OF THE PREVIOUS LEGENDARY HERO... ! !"
"HE WASN'T KIDDIN' BACK THEN! !"
Misaki was mostly astonished than everyone. She couldn't believe his father was the Legendary Megaman the whole time. Then, something hit her as if it was a ton of bricks. She remembered the Legendary HarpNote called her by her name as if she knew her. "Wait! Ever since the war with the Repliforce, it's been bugging me for quite a while... somehow the Legendary HarpNote knew my name... I had a feeling... No, I'm very certain... " she raised her right index finger, pointing at Sonia. "Are you the Legendary HarpNote perchance?" she asked tremblingly.
Sonia didn't expect her to figure it out this quick. She knew the jig was up, but didn't want to hide it anymore. "You bet!" she answered cheerfully with a thumbs up.
Luna and the rest of their friends dropped their mouths in disbelief to hear Sonia's straightforward answer.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! !"
"TH-TH-TH-TH-THE LEGENDARY HARPNOTE'S IDENTITY IS ACTUALLY THE FORMER, FAMOUS SINGER, SONIA STRUMM! ! ? ?"
"THAT MEANS THE LEGENDARY MEGAMAN MARRIED THE LEGENDARY HARPNOTE! ! ? ?"
"AND THEY HAD A SON! ! ? ?"
"WHAT IS WITH THIS FAMILY! ! ? ?"
"THIS IS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE! !"
Knowing their true identities, the Seika High students, the Maid Latte staffs, and Sakuya were now afraid of Tendou and his parents.
"Oh man, this can't be happening... " Ace facepalmed in disbelief.
"MMmmmm! So good!" Aquarius exclaimed, munching on the sushi made by Sakuya.
Tendou swallowed his food and looked around the room, "Hey, Misaki, why is everyone so jumpy?"
The long flowy black-haired girl stormed over until she stood in front of him. "BAKA, CAN'T YOU READ THE ATMOSPHERE! ?" she bellowed, grabbing the collar of his shirt to lift him, "NOT ONLY YOU'RE THE SON OF THE FORMER, FAMOUS SINGER, BUT YOU'RE ALSO THE SON OF THE ACTUAL LEGENDARY MEGAMAN! ? JUST HOW MANY SECRETS ARE YOU HIDING! ?" she demanded loudly.
With a heavy sigh, Tendou reached his hands to hers and removed them as he sat back on his chair, "This was a mistake." he said, feeling regretful.
"Huh?" Misaki responded in confusion.
Tendou grabbed his fork and knife, "Minna (Everyone), do me a solid favor? Forget what you just heard." he pleaded nonchalantly as he continued to eat casually.
The Seika High students, the Maid Lattes staffs, and Sakuya dropped their mouths with their wide eyes, and all the color from their faces drained away in complete astonishment. Deadly silence engulfed the room, none of them had the strength to speak, except for one word.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ! ! !"
Two weeks earlier after Sigma's defeat
A purple portal appeared in the laboratory, and a figure walked into the room. It was Gate, who miraculously survived the battle, with broken and cracked armor and sparks bursting from his body. As the portal closed, the golden armored fighter sauntered to the main computer with two chips in his left hand. His time was running short as he made it to the main computer with a large screen of a figure that looked similar to the dark blue armored Megaman with Cygnus Noise's Wings.
Gate's legs stumbled and dropped to his knees, but his left hand caught the keyboard from falling. "Uughh... I won't be able... to finish my ultimate creation, but this will have to do... " he supported his legs and installed two chips to transfer all the data to the main computer. Once it was completed, Gate had to use his left hand to press several buttons as quickly as possible, "Your mission, and only mission... is to eliminate Tendou Stelar, the winged Megaman... " The screen showed a picture of Tendou's face and his Megaman form, labeling them as primary targets. "I'm sorry I won't be able to see you in action... you will be my finest... and ultimate fighting machine... " he pressed the last button to proceed with the creation, but the large screen showed him one year of the process. The scientist grew a small smile with a chuckle, didn't feel surprised. "One year is worth the wait... Make us proud... for the glory of... the Repliforce." With his final words, he closed his eyes, and his body exploded into pieces.
The large table had a mechanical body of Megaman in a teenager's height. Besides the unfinished body, several mechanical arms began to work on the process. Above it, the black-and-purple helmet with a purple lens was nearly finished as it shined momentarily..
The end!
Let's proceed to the sequel! Winx Club StarForce: Magical Christmas!
