"Mega?" I say, shaking Omega-Xis' CopyRoid body, "Wake up."

Omega-Xis stirs, but says nothing.

"Mega," I say, "I heard a scream. We need to investigate. NOW."

Omega-Xis sits up and says, "A scream? Why didn't you say so? Where?"

"I don't know," I admit, "but there should be at least some sign of where it is."

Omega-Xis sighs and says, "Whatever. Let's fuse."

-----------------------------------------

"Are you sure you heard a scream?" Omega-Xis asks twenty minutes later.

"Yes, I'm sure," I say.

I stop on the Wave Road, noticing a weird feeling in the air.

"Z waves," Omega-Xis says, "It reeks of them. Guess you were right."

I jump onto the ground, becoming physical, and walk to the house which flows with Z waves.

I open the door with my right hand, and enter the house.

"Nothing here," I say, about to leave until a voice says, "MegaGirl?"

I freeze.

"You were saying?" Omega-Xis says.

"Who are you?" I call, ignoring Omega-Xis' insult.

"Wolf Moon," the voice replies, "I need to speak with you...if only for a minute."

"Wolf was one of the ones Geo and I fought," Omega-Xis says, "although more for fun. Wolf wasn't too serious about the fight."

"And if I was, I'd've killed your host before Andromeda did," comes the reply.

Someone limbers into the room.

A boy wearing a dark outfit, wearing claws that look as though they can go through stone. He smells like dog, almost. I notice his shoes are wolf-like, just like his "gloves".

"What do you want to speak to us about?" I say.

"Have you heard of Aries?" Wolf says.

"Yeah," I say, "but only heard, not seen."

"I have an alliance with Aries," Wolf says, "and Libra. We want to stop the wars between our worlds, but there are...obstacles."

"Like us?" Omega-Xis asks.

"Like Crown Lily," Wolf says, "and Cygnus. Not to mention Ophiuca. The problem is, I've heard that Crown has placed her trust in you as well."

"Not really," I say, "more like a mission: to find out which humans Aries plans to get if she doesn't get my cloned sibling."

Wolf laughs and says, "Ah, him. Libra has him. He's finding a body for Aries, so you won't have to worry about that."

"Takes away half our work," Omega-Xis says, "but how do we know we can trust you?"

"You don't," Wolf says, "but I can prove my trustworthiness to you...such as telling you Aries' original plans."

"We don't need that," I say, "What we do need is a way to defeat Crown Lily. Perhaps if you helped us, or else didn't assist her, then perhaps we might trust you."

"I can do that easily," Wolf says, "you see, we just fused. I can tell you Crown Lily's plans, and even then I don't think I can satisfy Mega."

"Whatever," Omega-Xis says, "we'll trust you for now. Happy?"

Wolf smirks and says, "Quite."
