"Mega Man Starforce: Solaris"
Chapter 16 –Agent 1: the scepter, the bear, and the revelation:
You won't believe what will happen. Believe me, you won't.
With Harp Note and Rogue:
"I can't wait to see Geo again." Harp Note said, walking around the city, next to Rogue. The commentary made him walk in a faster rate. "What's the matter?"
"Stop following me, dimwit…" Rogue said, making Harp Note glare at him, but he didn't care.
"Hey, wait for me!"
"I'm not your partner; I'm just in the same way… I don't need anyone."
"Why don't you want any friends?"
"It's just a waste of time. Other people annoy me."
"You never had a girlfriend, isn't it?"
"Never needed." Rogue said, making Harp Not somewhat impressed, by saying it with a great amount of calm.
"I have a friend who keeps trying to steal Geo, you can have her." Harp Note said, laughing a bit, referring to Luna, but Rogue simply ignored. Suddenly, he jumped back. Harp Note didn't understand and looked towards various directions, until she spotted two big blocks of ice sent towards her direction. She jumped back, also dodging it in time. "Why didn't you say that the ice was coming?"
"Why would I need to do that? It's not my fault you're weak." Rogue answered, as the enemies finally appeared: a brown armory being, quite similar to Libra Balance, but with blue empty eyes, noticeable feet, two long arms, and the right arm was holding a staff higher than the being itself; as for the other one, was an attractive woman (around 19-22), in good shape, covered by pale brown armor pieces on the legs, arms and around her chest (which was quite big for the age) and waist, along with bear-like paw shaped armor claws, and, as a final touch, armory bear ears at the top of her head, which was very cute, along with her long straight long blond her, which reached her waist, and her blue eyes made her appearance look more innocent.
"Our enemies are a walking armor with a staff and an attractive woman in a half bear costume? It isn't exactly the most terrifying figures, but, uh…" Harp Note thought, as she then noticed the woman's chest and then look at her own, noticing the big difference. Then, she remembered that she wasn't exactly "evolving" in those terms as her other friends, but that is another story (I got carried away :P XD ^_^).
"I'm agent number one: Sceptrum Emperor. And this is my partner: Ursa Beauty." Sceptrum Emperor said, introducing both enemies.
"I take the bear. You take the old guy. If you don't want to have a partner, I have to help you any other way." Harp Note said, as she drew her guitar.
"Whatever." Rogue said, as he closed his eyes, and Laplace, in its blade form, appeared on Rogue's left hand.
"I take the girl, you take the boy." Ursa Beauty said, as she jumped towards Harp Note.
"Strong Bass!" said Harp Note, as she played a sharp F, making a column appear in midair, which shot light blue glowing energy notes against her arm, covering it with pure energy. She then punched the upcoming enemy, but Ursa Beauty blocked it with her armor claw, and pushed Harp Note with her through the rest of the way of the jump.
"Seems that it's just you and me, young boy." Sceptrum Emperor declared, as he pointed his scepter towards Rogue.
"Alright for me. Spin Blade!" said Rogue, as he threw his sword towards Sceptrum Emperor, but he easily blocked it with his staff, with no use of strength at all. "What?"
"It seems you're not as powerful as I thought you would be." Sceptrum Emperor confessed, making Rogue furious.
"Flying Knuckles!" Rogue pulled back his fist covered by a purple aura and then punched the air with it, sending multiple copies of his fist from midair towards Sceptrum Emperor, but justb like Laplace, they didn't had any effect at all.
"Maybe I should give your sword back. You're not exactly the best puncher I've seen." Sceptrum Emperor confessed, sending Laplaace back to Rogue.
"You're asking for it!" Rogue yelled, in a tone of rage, as he dashed towards Sceptrum Emperor.
With Harp Note:
"Well, you sure are strong, teddy bear."
"I can't say you're not either."
"Thanks… Wing Note!" Harp Note said, as she played another note on her guitar, making two columns appear, which shot multiple Shock Note attacks against her back, forming two energy wings, which resembled eagle wings, bigger than Harp Note herself.
"Polaris." Ursa Beauty said, as her armor began to glow and turned white with blue details. "Icicle Shot!" she pointed her claw towards Harp Note, and shot a big icicle from it at a high speed.
"Yikes!" Harp Note exclaimed, as she started to fly, dodging the attack easily. "Wing Strike!" she flew towards Ursa Beauty and spun striking her with the wings, making them explode, but it didn't as much effect as Harp Note expected.
"She didn't even flinch!" Lyra exclaimed, amazed by her opponent's power.
"Pardos!" Ursa Beauty yelled, as her armor turned black with red details. "Vulcanic Slash!" she jumped towards Harp Note and swung her right claw, which was covered by fire.
"Fire Slash!" Harp Note yelled, as Lyra turned into energy, which transformed then into a blade on Harp Note's right hand. She then blocked the attack, but immediately separated from her enemy, due to the force of the clash. "Wide Wave!" Harp Note's sword turned into a wide blue blaster, and released a wide water blast towards her opponent.
"Orso!" Ursa Beauty said, as he armor returned to normal. "Heart Shield!" she put her hands over her chest and spread them apart, forming a heart-shaped shield in front of her, canceling Harp Note's attack. "It's time to end this. After all, I am an assassin. Bear's Hunt!"
"What the-? Guitar Wave!" Harp Note said, as Lyra returned to her guitar form and revealed a small blade at the bottom's end. Ursa Beauty jumped towards Harp Note at a great speed, with her left claw prepared to strike. Harp Note swung Lyra, slashing Ursa Beauty's body, backing her off, but in response, during the clash, Ursa Beauty also slashed Harp Note somewhere on her head.
"Sonia, now! She is tired!" Lyura said, as she noticed that her opponent was breathing heavily.
"I… I… I can't…" Harp Note said, astonishing Lyra.
"What do you mean by that?" Lyra asked, looking to Harp Note's face from the side, noticing a strange dark object going down her face. She jumped off Harp Note's hand, which was kind of loose, and looked at her face. Lyra had a face that showed both frightn and the feeling of being sorry. "Oh my god…"
"Lyra… I… I can't… I CAN'T SEEEEEEEEEEE!" Harp Note screamed holding her hand, showing that he helmet visor was broken, and that her eyes were bloody red, and her tears were blood instead of water. "WHY IS EVERYTHING DARK?... Why…?" Harp Note asked, falling to her knees, holding her arms' sides with each other, as she started to cry, not being able to see anymore.
With Rogue:
"What the-? Hmm…" Rogue asked himself, as he noticed a subtle sound coming from far away.
"What's the matter, young boy?"
"I have to go."
"You know, it's really rude leaving in the middle of a battle."
"Sue me. But if you insist… I was saving this to use against Mega Man or Twins Shark, but I do have to dash." Rogue said, as he put his normal hand inside his aura hand. Then, he pushed an energy stream from the aura and covered himself with it. Then, he became surrounded by the waving purple aura and Lapolace increased on size. "Multi Slash!" Riogue said, as he pumped and swung Laplace, slashing Sceptrum Emperor with it. At first, Sceptrum Emperor didn't feel a thing, but his armor then suffered five severe cuts, including one on his helmets. Then, he fainted and landed in the middle of the ground, unconscious, although Rogue thought he was dead.
At Harp Note again:
"That was simply low and disgraceful!" Lyra yelled at Ursa Beauty, mad at what she did to her partner.
"It's my… technique of assassination… I put them blind and then…" Ursa Beauty explained, breathing heavily in the process. "It puts quite some strength into the process. That's why 'm so tired."
"Sonia, are you ok?" Lyra asked, as Harp Not nodded no.
"Seems that she lost motivation." Rogue said, as he appeared from behind Ursa Beauty.
"What? Sceptrum wasn't enough to defeat you?" Ursa Beauty asked, astonished, but still smiling.
"Quit the act!" Rogue yelled, as he slahed right above her head. Then, two halves of a silver cube fell, revealing she was being controlled.
"What am I doing here? Uh? Oh my god?" Ursa Beauty said, as she noticed Harp Note's eyes. "I'm really sorry, I can't say it wasn't me, but I didn't intend to do it."
"It's… okay… I lost my eyesight, but I still know you're saying the truth…" Harp Note said, as she made a half smile. She stood up and picked Lyra up. Then, Rogue put her arm around his shoulders and helped her walk. "Rogue…! Why?"
"I might not want friends… But I'm still human." Rogue admitted, making Harp Note smile a bit more, but then the smile faded away.
"Don't worry about the eyesight. There's a medical procedure capable of treating it completely." Ursa Beauty said, assuring hope to Harp Note.
Were you expecting Sonia to lose her eyesight? And Solo to be nice once in a life? What more do I have stored for you? Review (really people, review it, please), love, ask for more, and…
Bye, remember, BEAST OUT!
