CHAPTER 7: Prometheus and Pandora
"Ah… how do I love making things go chaotic."
"But Prometheus… was this necessary?"
"Relax, you worrywart. We won't be affected by the changing time as long as we have the Fois (Time in French) Gems. In addition to that, we have these two Sacred Jewel shards."
"…It's glowing black…"
"Well, there's some reason to it that I can't get some depth in it Pandora." Prometheus said. "Let's get chaotic."
After spending several days at the Feudal Era, Amar and the others went home. Zero and Ciel stayed with Amar while Leviathan tags along the young priestess. Harpuia is very close to Janis recently, Phantom stays with Inuyasha and his group while Fefnir tags A-01 along (since he had a good firepower experience, something Fefnir really needed for a partner). Vent, Aile, Ashe and Grey on the other hand seek sanctuary with Kikyo.
Ciel often did a lot of research with Hideki, although she didn't have good resources. She had recently managed to establish a transporter connection to the Resistance HQ with the help of Hideki and Mokona, which is an early sigh of relief for the Guardians. Zero took his time with Arikado and the other Yamato family members. Now with the help of the transporter, the reploids can stock up on E-Crystals.
Leviathan's appearance in Kagome's household was a little pleasing, as she often got company in her swimming lessons. The young priestess had discovered that she and Inuyasha can merge with Leviathan by accident few days ago. Like usual, Leviathan was treated like she's a youkai by Kagome's grandpa. Although quite miffed, she did nothing about it.
Harpuia and Sesshomaru often met to settle their score, which their matches had so far being a tie. They were equally matched since the last confrontation.
Fefnir had now learned how to properly merge with A-01, and with that he can add few shoot modes. Amar-kun often held the knuckle busters in hand, firing it aimlessly. He calls this 'shoot someone like nobody's business'. Fefnir was completely pulled off by this but he was starting to like this idea. He also 'invented' the rocket jump with the Firebomb Mode he implemented.
Phantom on the other hand trained Sango a little in terms of attacking. As an added bonus to the transformation, she can turn her Hiraikotsu into a large cross boomerang after a power charge.
Back at Amar Ma'aruf, he had just returned home from school after an extra class. Zero and Ciel weren't around as they had to do some shopping with Reika.
"Darn. I'm home alone again."
The inu hanyou got up to his room upstairs and he changed clothes in the usual T-shirt and tracksuit. Amar then came down to check on lunch.
"Huh?"
He stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a voice outside of the house. He quickly ran out but he didn't find anything there.
"Was it my imagination?'
"Oh, hi there. Thought that you'd never knew who's coming."
"Who're you?" Amar asked when he saw the strange reploid.
"It's Prometheus." Prometheus grinned.
"I assume that you had known the Chosen Ones, right? Show me where they are." Prometheus ordered
The inu hanyou backed a bit, knowing that Prometheus was up to something no good with Vent and Aile, no less. He was not too keen about showing Prometheus the way, so he quietly summoned his Muramasa.
"How about it?"
"I don't know who you are, but I know that you're up to no good, pal!" Amar screamed, jumping to the air. "YAH!"
Prometheus was taken off guard and seconds later, he was slashed with Muramasa twice. Amar Ma'aruf reverted back to the place he was before.
"Nice thinking, half-breed. Looks like I'm going to play rough with you, just the way you wanted it." Prometheus said as he regained his composure. "Take this!" He exclaimed as he struck the ground with his scythe, sending fire shockwaves to the hanyou.
"HYDRANT STAR!"
With the announcement, Amar raised his fist to the air. Rain showered and degrades the shockwave's power. He blocked the rest with Soul Shield spell.
"Not so tough now, do ya?"
"I don't think so!"
Suddenly, ice pillars jut up from the ground, imprisoning Amar in an ice block. He however managed to melt it away with the Overheat spell he evoked before he was frozen.
"Hah! Good timing, Pandora. I'm irritated of interrogating this half breed."
"Pandora…huh? What kind of business you two had with Vent and Aile?" Amar asked as he reached for Masamune.
"That's… none of your business."
"Well then, I'll finish you off right here since you wouldn't cooperate." Prometheus smirked, lifting his scythe to the air. "Now die!"
Amar Ma'aruf didn't budge as he was transforming into a mist but a red blur came in front of him and blocked the scythe with a loud clang.
For a moment, he thought that it was Inuyasha, but he later dismissed it when he saw the golden long hair.
"…Zero!"
"Keep your hands off him!" Zero warned as he held his Z-Saber.
Prometheus backed away a bit, withdrawing his scythe.
"Ah, the God of Destruction. I didn't expect you to be here."
"…Looks like everything's mixed up." Pandora whispered.
"Just the way I like it."
Ciel stepped in, a little confused but determined. "Wait… you don't say that everything that happened to us was caused by you two…"
Prometheus guffawed. "That's right! Model W's reign is starting! If you can beat us on finding the Fois Gems, your time will be saved!"
"Otherwise, you'll end up as nothing…"
"Hold it! You can't do that! You two will be perished with us!" Amar exclaimed.
"As long we have possession of this gem, we'll remain impervious to the effects." Pandora said.
"We'll keep you all busy as a bee!" Prometheus yelled. "Until then, we'll meet again!" He then opened a swirling portal with the gem.
"Hey!" Amar yelled and he tried to chase them, only to be restrained by Zero.
"That's enough. We need to warn the others."
The inu hanyou sighed outwards. "Just what were they planning?!"
"Calm down! We didn't know about this either, Amar." Ciel said. "We need to warn the others."
"Okay."
A/N: Here's Prometheus and Pandora, few of the bosses who're difficult to beat after the Stione Devil in Megaman Classic! Well, they're much easier to take out in Model ZX, but Let's scrap that for a while. Okay, read on and review! TQ!
