Blaze Manor
"Syncro Chip in! Downloading now!" I tried Crossfusing with Roll for the twentieth time at least, but it only shocked me and backfired. Again. "Maylu, are you sure you should be training so soon?" "I'm fine, Dr. Hikari. But for some reason I'm not able to Crossfuse with Roll anymore." I looked down at my PET. "Why don't you let me take a look at it? Maybe your PET is just worn out and you need a new one." "I hope so." I left and sat with Chaud in the cafeteria.
"What do you think is going to happen to me?" "What do you mean?" "I joined the bad guys-" Chaud shushed me rather quickly. "Whatever happens, just agree with what Chief Keifer says, alright? And don't say anything about 'that.'" "What?" "Just do it." "…Chaud, what did you do?" The door clicked open as I asked; Chief Keifer leading Manuela inside. "Chief Keifer-" I began before he finished for me. "Excellent job, Agent Maylu. I hear you joined them to get information. That's good undercover skills." "Thank-You, sir." 'I can't believe you Chaud!' I hid my annoyance at his lie under my smile. Then again, he did just get me off the hook.
"No fair! How come no one told me?" Lan pouted, but Chaud intervened with a deep sigh. "I told you, you wouldn't have attacked her if you knew the truth." "What about you? You didn't attack her!" "Someone had to seem sympathetic, seems like you've had a bad case of off road rage lately." "Hey!" "Alright, that's enough you two." Chief Keifer interrupted, smiling along with Manuela. "Now, what information do you have for us?" I pulled the small square flash drive out of my jacket pocket, having completely forgot about it. "They wouldn't tell me anything about their plans, but I found this. I haven't had a way to look at it yet." "Here, we'll jack it into the computer and see what it is." Dr. Hikari took it.
Opening the files, blueprints for a satellite appeared on the large screen with explicit details for each individual part. "It looks like the one Dr. Regal use to have, but this extra set of blueprints looks like an add on. A laser. Or a cannon maybe." "But dad, didn't Dr. Regal already try something like that? If that's the case, we should be able to beat these guys no problem!" Over confident as usual. "Not so fast, son. This one looks much more advanced than the one Regal used. The intensity of the laser could probably take out half the city in one blow looking at these schematics." "Oh, man. When it comes to evil these guys sure got it down." "Wait." Chaud cut in. "Lan, didn't you say there was a robbery in a warehouse across town?" "Yeah, and there was another robbery on the same day we all found Ms. Yuri in that warehouse yesterday and they both had Dimensional Areas'." "That's it!" I exclaimed. "Ms. Yuri and I were the diversion. We were there to keep you busy until the robbery was done. That's why she had us leave so quickly during our first battle. She also told me just before the battle that she had memorized her "brother's notes and experiments on Crossfusion and the Dimensional Area.'"
Dr. Hikari checked the computer that was beeping. The computer that had Roll in it. It was popping up error messages all over the place. "What's wrong?" "It looks like Roll has been reprogrammed." "What? How could that have happened?" "Did Roll ever leave your sight while you were there?" "I did wake up one morning and she was gone, but then she was there again that afternoon; like nothing had ever happened." "Hmmm, it seems they wanted to make sure that nothing happened to their files." "Can't imagine why." Sarcastic Lan. Something we defiantly didn't need right now. "Well, at least we know that we have something valuable. You can fix her though, can't you Dr. Hikari?" Chief Keifer spoke up. "Yes. It will take some time, but she can be reprogrammed again and she'll be good as new." "That's good news." I breathed a sigh of relief. At least something good happened today.
"Come on, it's late. You can stay with me for tonight." "Tonight?" "Come on. My car's outside." "Don't worry, Maylu. I'll keep your PET locked up here at SciLab and start the reprogramming process first thing in the morning." "Thank-You, Dr. Hikari." I smiled, following Chaud out to his car.
"I've talked to Ms. Mari. She said that you could live with her so that you don't have to worry about your father anymore." "So she knows too, huh?" "It's better this way. You're safe now, Maylu. He won't know where you live anymore, but I did have to tell her about you being a Net Saver though." "I suppose she would find out eventually." A smile ghosted across my lips. "That's alright. A new home sounds nice." I closed my eyes for a moment and next I knew, I was being carried by Chaud into a bedroom and tucked in.
"You sure this is okay?" I could tell how tired I was just by the sound of my voice. "Yeah. My dad is hardly ever home anyway and when he is he locks himself away in his room even to eat." He moved to leave before I stopped him. "Please don't leave me. Not tonight." It seemed like he had to think about it for a moment before obliging and lying next to me.
Author's Note: I'm sorry this chapter is so short as well! Also, I'm sorry if you're not a ChaudxMaylu fan and if you aren't then you might not what to read this. Please tell me what you think and what I can do to make this story better! :3
