"So uh…when is she coming?" Geo asked. He and Jack had been waiting for quite some time for Keira.
"Can't you even wait for a while? She might be trying to avoid attention", Jack said.
"It's like you two were the ones who was late to meet up with me."
Jack and Geo found Keira leaning on the trunk of the materialized cherry blossom tree. "What took you so long anyway?"
"But how did you-?"
"Snuck my way here unnoticed."
"Okay girly, enough with the talk", Jack said as he stood in front of Geo." Tell us why you're that secretive. Are you planning on something? And why do you wear such a weird mask?"
Keira glared at Jack for a short while, Geo was certain that she had her fist clenched in irritation and accusation.
What is it that matters to you anyway? She questioned. "I keep what I want to keep. That's all."
Before Jack could say anything else, they were attacked by countless arrows. And at that same moment, they heard a very scary laughter.
"Hellooo Keiiira!"
Keira glanced at the surroundings; she then saw a transcode wearing blue mage clothes(but armor looking), black hair, carries a scythe and wears a mask similar to her.
"Mad Hatter!"
"The one and only!" the hatter cackled, the voice of the transcode was female. "It was hard tracking you down, but now I found you!"
"I told you leave me alone already! I'm not going back! EVER!
"You know this person?!" Both her companions said in shock.
"Careful with her, she's a lunatic", Keira warned. "Be aware of her hypnotism and death song attack."
"Ohhh, are those your new friends? I would be happy to kill them for you", the hatter said
"Not if we can help it!"
"Transcode, Mega man!"
"Transcode, Jack Corvus!"
"EM transcoders eh?"
"What do you want with Keira anyway Mad Hatter?" Mega man asked as he and Jack Corvus cornered her (Mad Hatter, not Keira)
"Nothing personal, the boss just wanted her back", she said in a loony way.
"Tell him to go find himself someone else to use!" Keira said angrily.
"Then your friends will pay the price!" She then began attacking Mega man and Jack Corvus.
Mega man tries shooting her with his mega buster but she would always deflect his attacks. Jack Corvus tries hitting her with his wicked flame attack and also the same result.
"It's no good; she's no ordinary transcoder", Keira called. "You'll just tire yourself if you continue. Simple attacks won't work"
"Then how do we stop her?" Mega man said.
"Combine your attacks! She can't handle combo moves."
They did, Mega man and Jack Corvus combined their moves resulting the wicked flame buster move. Damage inflicted the Hatter. Then, she suddenly stops as if she was out of thought.
"There, we finally got her", Jack Corvus said in triumph. "She's one tough cookie."
Mad Hatter was suddenly transported in an instant before Keira could actually get a hold her.
"Augh! Called back by her no good boss."
Geo and Jack undid their transcode right after.
After the battle, when Keira was about to leave, Geo stopped her." I know were not supposed to ask more questions, but at least we could help you."
"We? What do you mean by we?" Jack asked. "You don't suppose you mean helping her?"
Keira didn't respond on their question, instead she said to the two of them "You better be aware starting by now. There are a few more like her, so be cautious. They won't stop at anything until they find me."
When she went on the back area of the cherry blossom tree, she instantly vanished. Leaving Jack and Geo confused.
Somewhere, in an unknown place...
"Master, I have now found the fugitive", Mad Hatter said as she knelled down on the figure in clad black.
"Excellent work, Sarah Whitecomb", the figure said." I will now send another agent to retrieve her. He then turned to the girl with brunette blonde hair."
"I trust that you will bring back our former comrade, Margaux."
"I will master. And I promise that I will not fail to bring her back", she replied. She then left the presence of her master. "Why did you do it Keira? Why did you leave? I don't want to hurt an old friend like you. The one I trusted so much."
