Yo guys! Sorry it took so long for me to update this story, but recently I've been a lot more busy with other stuff and I can't really find the time to write this. Anyways, enough of that for now. Enjoy chapter tweleve of Megman Starforce: Precious Memories!
"Huh? Where am I?" Geo thought, as he found himself lying in a bed somewhere. He opened his eyes to see that he was in some kind of high-tech looking hospital. He tried to get up, but was interrupted by sharp pains throughout his entire body.
"Damn, I can't move without something hurting," Geo thought, as Ace came in to see how he was doing.
"Hey, it looks like you're finally awake," Ace said. Geo notice that Ace wasn't in tip-top shaped either. He had bandages on his head and body and one of his arms was in a cast.
"Ace, what happened to you? Are you okay?" Geo asked.
"Yeah, don't worry about me. I'm fine."
"What about the others? Are they okay?"
"Don't worry about it. The others also sustained some damage, but it wasn't anything fatal. Bud still in his room resting up, and as for Solo…"
"Huh? What happened to him?"
"Well, after we treated all his injuries, we told him to rest for a bit, but he didn't listen. The moment we left him alone, he escaped and left somewhere."
"That's so like him."
"Anyways, out of all of us, you were the one that sustained the most damage. When we found you after the battle, you barely had any strength left to breath. We had to get you here to WAZA right away and get you on life-support, or else you might have been done for."
"And what about the people we were fighting? What about Sonia?" Geo asked hurriedly.
"Well, about that. Unfortunately, we were all defeated by them, so they left and retreated back to their ship," Ace said with a sad look on his face.
"So…what do we do now?" Geo asked with a gloom expression.
"The thing we can do now is to wait. We have to rest for a bit or else we won't stand a chance against the enemy even if we found them."
"So you're saying we just sit here and do nothing, while they could be plotting who knows what?"
"It's the best thing we can do at this point. If you tried to battle anyone in your current condition, you would be taken down in a heartbeat. And also, you still have serious injuries that haven't healed yet. If you do something stupid like try to run off and battle the enemy on your own, I can't guaranty that you will be able to stay alive."
"But…but…fine," Geo said depressingly.
"I'm glad that you can look at this reasonably and not act rashly because of your feelings. Well, I'm going to leave for now. I have some stuff to care of. Remember, don't do anything stupid. Don't even try to walk around. You still have a lot of injuries and it's best not to move around a lot."
"I know, I know. Jeez, you're like my mom."
"I'll take that as a compliment. Anyways, I'll see you later," Ace said, as he began to leave.
"Bye," Geo replied, as Ace left the room.
"So…now what?" Geo asked himself. He spent the next few minutes just sitting up on his bed, thinking if he should leave and fight or not. He eventually got bored and took out his Hunter-VG.
"Hey Mega, you awake," Geo asked.
"I wasn't, but you woke me up. What is it?" Mega said slightly annoyed.
"Do you think I should go or not?" Geo asked.
"Go where?"
"You know. Go to that ship, and save Sonia."
"By yourself?"
"Yeah, everyone else seems to need some rest and, I don't want to put them in any more danger than they have to be in."
"What about you? From the looks of it, you have more injuries than anyone else that fought. I should know. And if you go by yourself, you're putting yourself in more danger than ever."
"I know, but…but…what can I do?" Geo said, as tears started to flow down cheeks. He began crying for a while, annoying an already grumpy Omega-Xis. Mega let him cry for a while, but eventually he had to speak up and say something.
"Will you just by quiet? What the hell is wrong with you?" Mega said angrily, as he came out and gave Geo a slightly hard punch to the head.
"Owww! What was that for? That kinda hurt you know!" Geo asked angrily, as he was rubbing the spot on his head that Omega-Xis had punched, which was now sore.
"I did that to wake you up! Do you remember during the fight with Doom Note you had vowed to do something," Mega asked.
"I had vowed to do something…" Geo said softly, as he continued to rub the spot on his head.
"That's right. I told myself that I would save Sonia no matter what. That no matter what happened or what got in my way, I would try my hardest to do so," Geo thought, as a smile came across his face
"Thanks, Mega," Geo said.
"For what?" Mega asked.
"For everything," Geo said, as he yawned.
"I'm starting to get tired. I'm think I'm going to take a little nap for a while," Geo said, as he got underneath his covers and closed his eyes.
"That's fine by me. I need to go back to sleep after your rude awakening," Mega said, as he went back inside the Hunter-VG. Not long after that, Geo fell asleep. He didn't worry about what he had to do to get Sonia back. That could wait until tomorrow.
Somewhere in the outskirts of space…
Turtle Tide was carrying Doom Note back to the ship. He was taking his sweet time going there, even though Doom Note was now crying in pain. It wasn't long until Tiger Blaze and Falcon Flash had caught up to him.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why is it taking you this long to get back to the ship?" Tiger Blaze asked angrily.
"Hey, you just told me to get back to the ship. You didn't tell me if I had to get there quickly," Turtle Tide argued.
"Maybe you just used up all your strength with your battle against the weakling, and you're just using that as an excuse," Falcon Flash mocked.
"What was that? Would you care to repeat that again?" Turtle Tide said angrily, as he stopped and turned around to face Falcon Flash.
"Gladly. I said that you are so weak that you used up all your strength fighting a pathetic, little weakling."
"That's it, you're just asking for a fight, aren't you?" Turtle Tide asked, as he placed Doom Note on the floor and took on a battle stance.
"Are you sure you want to face me? In your current condition, I doubt you would even last ten seconds," Falcon Flash mocked, as he took on a battle stance of his own.
"Why you little…I'll show you your place! Shell Rush!" Turtle Tide said, as he rushed forward towards Falcon Flash.
"Heh, since you're this weak, I think I'm going to go easy on you for a bit! Shock Wing!" Falcon Flash said, as he rushed forwards towards Turtle Tide. They were about to clash, but Tiger Blaze to intervene.
"Fireball Barrage!" Tiger Blaze said, as she fired a volley of fireballs where Turtle Tide and Falcon Flash were about to meet, breaking the two up and them to look at her angrily.
"What was that for?" Turtle Tide asked.
"Yeah, this doesn't have anything to do with you. This is between me and this old fart," Falcon Flash said.
"Yeah…wait! What did you just call me?"
"I called you an old fart, or are you too old to hear me."
"You two, just SHUT UP!" Tiger Blaze yelled, causing the two of them to stop and immediately look at her.
"Oh yeah, and what are you gonna do to stop us, huh?" Falcon Flash asked.
"If you two don't stop acting like a couple of children and grow up, I'll have to report you to the boss and have him punish you accordingly," Tiger Blaze said. With that, the two immediately stopped their bickering and began mumbling something to themselves.
"Now that that's over with, I'm going to take her back to the ship ASAP. Just hurry up and get there and try not to kill each other along the way," Tiger Blaze said, as she picked up Doom Note, who was now unconscious, and hurried back to the ship. Turtle Tide and Falcon Flash were now along, staring each other angrily.
"We'll settle this later," Falcon Flash said.
"Yes, let's," Turtle Tide replied, as they both started to head back towards the ship.
At WAZA Headquarters…
Geo awoke several hours later. At that time, his injuries were still nowhere close to being fully healed, so all he could do was continue to lie there and think about what he was going to do next.
"I could try to find out their location and go there myself after I get all healed up. Or maybe I should bring in some help. That might work better. But still…" Geo thought, as he sat up on his bed, "None of us are anywhere strong enough to take on those guys. We were all defeated. And not by a little bit. We were pretty much completely obliterated." Geo thought back to when he was fighting Doom Note. He remembered when he thought he had defeated Doom Note, but then she used some sort of special technique.
"What was that technique called again? Limit Break or something? I can't remember," Geo thought to himself. He remembered that when Doom Note had used that technique, he became powerless to do anything. He wasn't strong enough, he wasn't fast enough. It was like a mouse trying to defeat a lion.
"What…what can I do…how can I get strong enough to save Sonia…how?" Geo thought. As he was thinking, he started to get a bit tired and slowly drifted off to sleep again.
On the spaceship…
Tiger Blaze had finally reached the spaceship, followed by Turtle Tide and Tiger Blaze, who were still arguing about who was stronger.
"Will you two just shut it already?" Tiger Blaze said annoyed, as she carried Doom Note to where their boss was.
"Hmph!" Falcon Flash grunted, as both he and Turtle Tide followed Tiger Blaze throughout the hallways of the spaceship. The spaceship was humongous in size and it would take a normal person at least half an hour to run from one end of the spaceship to the other. However, EM beings could travel way faster, so it only takes them a couple of seconds. After a while, they finally reached the room.
"Ahhh, it seems like you're all back. So how was the mission? Were you all successful in your task?" the dark figure asked, as he remained sitting in his chair.
"Yes, we went to the site and disposed of the pests there like you told us to. However, the device was destroyed before we got there," Tiger Blaze said.
"It's fine. We can just charge up another one. However, we have to make sure this time that those people don't interfere this time," the dark figure said.
"Don't worry about it. This time we'll guard that thing so that those insects won't be even able to get close to it!" Falcon Flash said excitedly.
"You guys can go do that, but you can count me out. I've already had enough action today to last me at least a couple of months," Turtle Tide said.
"Oh? Are you sure you're not just saying that you're too weak to defend yourself against those insects."
"What did you say? I'll show you! I'll…"
"Now, now, there's no need to fight amongst ourselves. You've all done an adequate job today so you can go back to your rooms to rest for a while," the dark figure said.
"Wooooo! Yeah! Finally, some time to just sit back and do nothing!" Turtle Tide said happily.
"You don't have to be so open about it," Tiger Blaze mumbled, "oh yes, one more thing. While she was fighting, Doom Note seemed to have some kind of problem."
"Yes, I was just about to get to that. It seems that one of the people that you were fighting today was pretty close to the true identity of Doom Note," the dark figure said.
"So what about it?" Tiger Blaze asked.
"As you know, the crystal that is currently inside her only works if the person using it has no bonds at all. However, during the course of their battle, it seems that this boy had reawakened one of her bonds that I had the liberty of breaking."
"So what do you want us to do about it?" Tiger Blaze asked.
"I say we crush him until there's nothing left!" Falcon Flash said ecstatically.
"Hold on a moment. There will be no need for that. For now, just bring Doom Note back to her room to rest. I have a plan," the dark figure said evilly, a huge smirk appeared over his face.
So yeah. As I said before, I'm busy with a bunch of other stuff currently so I'm not sure if I can update as frequently as I used to. I'm still continuing the story, it just might take a while longer for new chapters to come out. As for the next chapter, it won't take as long as it did for this chapter to come out, but not really sure how long it will take. Just hope that it will be out soon!
