Chapter 3… Here we go!

Thank you StoryWriter2015 for reviewing once again! (only one review last chapter though :c )

So the last chapter was pretty dark for your typical Mega Man Starforce fanfiction. Most of the battle scene that takes place in this fanfiction will often end up somewhat bloody because the human body is made up of a lot of blood and it's honestly more realistic and more impactful, especially since this universe takes place in the real world which contains real-world problems, not a small town like Echo Ridge. Also, this chapter picks up right where the last one left off but in Sonia's POV.

Please review if you guys enjoyed the chapter or have any questions or comments! You guys really don't understand how much reviews mean for a new writer like me and it motivates me to keep on writing in general :).

Why, Geo? Why are you trying so hard to save a person you've just met the day before?

I kept asking myself this as the brown-haired boy stood up once again, the so-called Infinity Blade in his right hand.

The way Geo grabbed the sword… could it be possible that he was also experienced the same dreams that I've been experiencing? If so, and if those swords really are the key to fending off the criminal, then what was I doing, defenseless on the floor while Geo was risking his life to save mine.

"You have no right to say anything… you sick bastard."

Stop it, Geo. Please… you're going to kill yourself.

"You still have the energy to fight? I was going to put a bullet through your head when this was all said and done but if you're so eager to die."

The crazed man laughed, looking at Geo's determination as foolishness. And for a moment, I couldn't help but think the same way. Surely there was no way Geo can close the gap between him and the crook with a sword, a dull and broken one at that.

But then I saw it. His blade started to flicker and glow, the same way that other blade did in my dreams. And for a moment, just a moment, I also saw Geo's eyes flicker blue, in a light similar to that of his sword.

"Geo…"

I watched as he began to move into a stance, then lunged at the criminal… and what I saw was truly a sight to behold.

As Geo began to lunge at the criminal, the shining blade, now completely covered in blue light, began to slowly buzz as though it was charging up. The criminal, now suddenly worried about Geo's sword, pulled up his gun attempting to finish Geo. But it was too late.

Geo thrusted his blade forward and in an instant, the blade expanded in a move so swift, so fast, it took my eyes a few seconds to comprehend the phenomenon before me. Following the blade was an ear-splitting howl, like lightning cutting through a dark, stormy night.

The light of the sword instantly pierced through the arm of the criminal. As he screamed in pain, he lunged back at Geo, attempting to punch him with his remaining arm. But Geo showed little to no emotion on his face. The Infinity Blade fell to the ground as he dropped the sword to punch the crook in the gut, so hard, he coughed up blood as well, along with his shoulder, which was still gushing out blood.

It was a bloody scene indeed, as blood leaked from both Geo's and the criminal's shoulder. Yet despite all that gore, the entire class, including myself, couldn't help but watch the entire scene with awe.


"Ugh…"

My eyes slowly fluttered open. As I began to regain consciousness, my eyes wandered around the room as I began to question where I was. It was already dark outside. Curtains, a hospital bed, there was no doubt in my mind I was in a hospital room, but why? Then I started to remember. The museum room, the criminal, the shining blade, though the last thing I remembered was running at the criminal with the sword. Everything after that was completely blank in my mind.

"Geo..?"

A familiar voice said to the right of me. It was Sonia. She stood up from her chair and walked over to me.

"Hey, Sonia."

"Thank god you're okay."

"Ugh, what happened?"

I asked as I began to rub my right hand against my eyes, still adjusting to the bright light of the hospital room. I also noticed the bandages wrapped around my left shoulder, most likely due to the gun wound I suffered from the fight with the criminal.

"You basically saved the entire class from that Dealer member using… this weird sword. As soon as you… did what you did, you fainted and were driven to this hospital. Thank you, Geo… for everything today… if it weren't for you… the guy might've killed me."

Sonia said as she smiled at me. But that smile soon turned into a frown as large amounts of liquid began to cover her eyes. She tried to hide it, blinking several times and wiping her tears on her sweater but the liquid continued to flow out of her eyes.

"I'm sorry… all of this is my fault. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened."

"None of this is your fault, Sonia."

"Geo, that sword that you used to beat the criminal, how did you know it contained such power?"

I was hesitant about answering that question at first. After all, what was I supposed to say? That my odd dreams are the reason for risking my life for Sonia's? How seriously would anyone really take me if I told that to them?

But after I didn't respond right away, she held me tightly, holding both my arms with her hands and stared at me with those mesmerizing green eyes of hers.

"Geo, was it because you saw the sword in your dreams?"

Even after her finishing her question, I couldn't help but continue to stare at her stunning beauty.

"Umm… Geo?"

"Ack, sorry. I… did have some sort of vision of them in my dreams though I vaguely remember what they were. How do you know all this?"

She turned away but was clearly blushing from my stare just a few moments ago. My face also turned red when I realized I was staring at her for way too long. But she cleared her throat and acted as if that small moment never happened.

"I've also had something similar to that as well. When I was at the museum, I could feel the power that that blade had but I was too scared to do anything about it. And… you kind of ended up doing the dirty work for me."

"It's fine, Sonia. It was a spur of the moment decision anyways. I also happened to be near the swords in the first place."

"Still… I'm sorry."

She still cried nonetheless. As she pulled me into a crying hug, I couldn't help but sit quietly and embrace her. I clasped her hands with mine and we sat in silence for most of the night.

"Honestly, I don't remember much, Detective. All I moments that I remember from the incident you already know about from the other students."

"I see. The blade disappeared suddenly after you fainted. Do you have any idea about the sword's whereabouts by any chance?"

Detective Bob Copper asked me. Before I could leave the hospital, the NYPD forced me to answer their questions through interrogation. It was a long, tedious process as the detective kept asking me questions I had no answer to, but eventually, the police and Copper let me go.

"Again, Detective, I am just as clueless as you are. Besides, if I knew something secret about the sword that no one else knew about, I wouldn't have this cast on right now with a bullet wound on my left shoulder."

The detective reluctantly gave in and sighed.

"Alright then, I guess you're free to go. Don't go around getting into fights in school, kid. You may have pulled off a miracle, but you're also one arm down now."

The detective cracked a smile from his own joke and left me alone in the hospital room. Relieved that the interrogation was over, I walked out into the lobby of the hospital where Mom was waiting.

"Oh my god, Geo! How are you feeling?!"

"I feel a lot better Mom. The doctor says the wound isn't too bad. The cast could be on for quite a while though and I shouldn't move my left shoulder at any cost."

"Aww, you poor thing! When we get home, I'm going to cook all of your favorites: chicken curry, beef stew, pizza!"

"Geez, that sounds like a bit too much, Mom."

She only laughed at my remark as we began to head home.


Vista Point.

A beautiful place to lie down and feel the New York breeze after a hectic day... and the last couple of days were definitely hectic, to say the least. It's extremely rare to find a place in the city where peace and quiet prevails but Vista Point was both a beautiful and a quiet park.

I plopped down on the grassy area of the park and gazed at the stars. Stargazing was always something I did with Dad and something I've done even more after his disappearance.

As my eyes wandered across the sky, I noticed something flicker. Was it a shooting star? Shooting stars usually symbolized good luck and a wish being granted. Although I'm certainly not superstitious, I decided to go along with its symbolism and closed my eyes and silently wished for one thing.

I wish that I could have someone, something, anything, who knows for a fact that Dad is alive to come and tell me so.

As I opened my eyes to the world once again, I felt relieved and began to smile at the shooting star that made me feel better about my missing father for just a moment. However, the longer I stared at that bright star in the sky, the shinier it became.

I began to avert my eyes away from the star, but its light only grew. There was a sharp crackling sound in the sky and I began to realize that the "shooting star" was going to crash on top of me.

In the split seconds of time that I had to react, I tried to shield myself from the meteor as it came closer and closer and closer.

For the second time in two days, I thought I was going to die.

But suddenly, a familiar object began to form in my right hand. It was slightly transparent, yet its form, its weight was clearly visible. It was the Infinity Blade again. But how? After the events that took place in the museum, the Infinity Blade was nowhere to be found, and yet for some reason, for the second time in less than 48 hours, it found itself held by my right hand.

Wielding the Infinity Blade again, my memories of the museum incident started to flood back to me. From Sonia's cry of despair, to the criminal's arm being completely pierced, to the bloody punch in the gut. It all came back to me like a wave over my consciousness.

I instinctively held the Infinity Blade up in the air again to protect myself from the incoming meteor. However, unlike the last time I held this Divine Weapon, there was no fear of death, not a single sensation of fear coursing through my body, and when the blade started to glow blue once again, I simply smiled.


I should probably start making these chapters a bit more consistent lengthwise because some chapters are a lot longer than others, etc. Anyways, if you enjoyed the chapter please make sure to follow, fav, and review the fanfiction! It took a bit longer for this chapter to be posted but the next one should be posted on time.
