Trap and Escape
The warehouse was rundown and abandoned. Walkways caving in and damaged machinery falling apart at the seams, but it seemed that my mother thought it was important, otherwise we wouldn't be here. "Get your Dark Syncro Chip Ready. Lan and Chaud should be here any minute now." "But… why?" "I sent them a message, saying that if they wanted you back to come and get you." She was using me as bait? "I-I don't think that this is such a good idea." Complete understatement. "I thought you wanted a family, Maylu. I thought you wanted my love." "I do, but-" "Then are you going to go through with this or not?" I sighed heavily, not having any other choice. "Alright. I'll do it."
The front doors slamming open caught my attention from up one of the few standing walkways left as Lan and Chaud glared up at my mother in anger. "So glad you could make it." Mother smirked, pulling out her remote and activating the Dimensional Area Generators. Everyone was soon Crossfused. Lan lounged right at me before Mother jumped in his way and lounged at him, knocking him to the ground. Chaud jumped up onto the walkway that I was standing on and began walking towards me.
"I just want to talk to you." He carefully continued to approach me, which only made me back up. "I know what happened to you, Maylu. I know what your father did." "You don't know anything!" Tears burned in my eyes. How could he possibly know the truth? "Yes, I do. And we both know that what you're doing isn't right. You want your mother just like I want mine, but sometimes we can't get what we want." My heart throbbed at his words. Did he really know what it was like? Living without a mother and with a horrible father?
"Come on, Maylu. Do the right thing. For you. For me. For your daughter." A knife went through my chest from those words. "M-My d-daughter." I sobbed. "Protoman looked up everything that he could on you, but Ms. Yuri had already deleted all the information off the city's main computer files. The only thing left was a birth certificate. Your daughter's birth certificate. Ms. Yuri couldn't have known about your daughter, so she didn't know to delete that too. It's how I found out. It's how I found out about your father." "F-Father." "If Ms. Yuri really cared about you, wouldn't she have stopped him from doing what he did to you?" My eyes widened at the thought. That's right. If she was really watching over me, she would have done something. Anything to protect me. She would have known about Kara.
The walkway underneath me began to give way from the rusty hinges in the corner of the room. "Maylu!" Crossfusion Protoman yelled as it gave way and left me dangling from the end still barely attached. "Maylu, grab my hand!" Little by little the hinges were bending and breaking apart, separating our extended hands even further and finally letting me freefall from ten stories up, frozen in fear. 'I'm coming, Kara.'
A sudden jerk brought me to open my eyes and see Chaud holding me in his arms, apparently from catching me in midair. The tears I had been holding in for all these years and the ones from the past few weeks came pouring out in a flood before I heard Crossfusion Spikeman and Megaman knock down a wall. "Chaud, there's something I have to do." I tried to sound calm as he let me down and I summoned my bow and arrow, pointing it strait at Lan. "Do it, Maylu! Show them that we will win!" My mother's voice was out of breath, yet excited. "I'm sorry, but I don't have any other choice." Lan's face looked terrified before I turned in an instant and shot my arrow at Ms. Yuri instead, launching her back at one of the walls.
I collapsed to the ground, letting the sobs take over and my Crossfusion with Roll collapse as well. "I hope your happy, Maylu. You'll never have my love now!" Mother roared, charging strait for me before Chaud and Lan jumped in the way with their Cyberswords and caught her off guard; sending her strait through the wall and into the Dimensional Area Generators. The force of the blow destroying it and making the everyone's Crossfusion forms disappear.
Author's Note: I just wanted to make sure you knew that I know that the sudden bursts of outrage are NOT Ms. Yuri's thing, but it's my story and I can do whatever I want! ;P Just kidding! But seriously, in a way Ms. Yuri is like a child. She's not used to things not going her way and on top of that, she's slipping. Sorry, but if I tell any more then it'll ruin the surprise for later! Stay tuned! Next chapter: Blaze Manor!
