Another update before my finals start next week. I won't be uploading anything for the next two weeks at least, sorry... Anyways, here's the new chapter!
Black and White Mega Men
Chapter 19 – Preparations
A week had passed since the final battle between Vent and Weil. Weil had actually gone for good, but Vent had survived. But the huge surprise was after the four unconscious Mega Men woke up with no memories since the time when they took their Biometals from Albert. They acted nothing like their former selves when they had the Biometals.
It was in the middle of the day and the blue haired Chosen One was wandering around the base in panic without his shoes on and saw that Aeolus was leaning against the wall nearby.
"Hey Aeolus, have you seen my shoes?" Thetis approached and asked the green haired Chosen One as he saw that Thetis was walking barefooted.
"My bet is that this is Atlas' doing. Go and try looking for them someplace with a trap." Aeolus casually replied.
"Aeolus! Don't tell me that you actually know where my shoes are!" Thetis responded angrily, not noticing the flying object heading towards his head.
"OW!" Thetis was knocked out to the ground by the flying object, which were actually his shoes. Aeolus ignored him and looked at the direction where the shoes came from to find the angry brown and orange haired Chosen One.
"Aeolus! I thought that I've told you to tell him that this is your idea!" Atlas stomped angrily towards the two boys.
"Technically, he wouldn't believe that I was the one who did that," Aeolus suddenly noticed something, "Have you seen Siarnaq anywhere? We should tell the Guardians about the important news soon."
"Don't even think about changing the topic here, pretty boy!" Atlas glared angrily at Aeolus, but he didn't feel as frightened as Thetis although he wasn't really involved.
"Vent, Aeolus, Atlas, Thetis, and Siarnaq please come to Fleuve's lab immediately." The voice from the intercom said.
"Okay, let's go!" Thetis nervously said before he left quickly, carrying his shoes with him to the lab. Atlas glared angrily at Aeolus before she left silently with Aeolus following her to the lab.
The two Chosen Ones entered the lab to see that the others had already been there. Thetis had already put on his shoes and Siarnaq was leaning against the wall near the computer, while Vent was looking at Model Z curiously.
"Okay, I need to borrow all of your Biometals to be analyzed for a moment." Fleuve said as he turned to the Chosen Ones in the room.
The Chosen Ones obeyed and put their Biometals on top of Fleuve's computer. He typed a few things on the keyboard as the computer beeped continuously. The images of the Biometals popped out in the monitor along with a list of data scrolling in the monitor.
Fleuve stopped typing to look at the Biometal data in the monitor. He then continued typing and stopped as images stopped popping out in the monitor before turning back to the Chosen Ones.
"It seems like it's just like what Vent had told me earlier. Because of the overdrive system you used before, the Biometals had lost their souls and became 'dead' Biometals. Even so, you can still use them in battle but you don't have the overdrive system anymore. You can take the Biometals back now." Fleuve finished his explanation as the Chosen Ones took back their Biometals.
"But what about the memory lost? Have you found anything about that?" Vent asked as he pocketed Model X and Model Z.
"Unfortunately, I didn't find anything about the memory lost. It is very possible that Albert might have caused them to end up like this." Fleuve replied with disappointment in his voice.
"Okay then, I'm going out for the time being." Vent said as he walked towards the door, but Fleuve stopped him.
"Are going to hang out with Aile?" Fleuve asked as Vent shook his head.
"No, she's hanging out with Ashe to get her wedding dress. I saw her so energetic this morning after Aile had picked her to be her maid of honor. I'm going with Grey to get something to eat in the city, because I think we can get the tuxedos a bit later." Vent replied as Fleuve nodded.
"Okay, but don't forget to tell her to see me if you meet her!" Fleuve reminded before Vent left the lab. Fleuve turned away from the door and back at the four remaining Chosen Ones. "What are the four of you going to do now?"
"At first we weren't really sure, but we've come to a decision." Thetis started.
"We will help you in your duties and join the Guardians." Aeolus added as Fleuve smiled.
"If that's your final decision, then that's good. Please come with me to the Control Room." Fleuve said as he led the four Chosen Ones to the Control Room. The five of them entered the Control Room and were greeted by Prairie.
"Hello, the four of you. I see that you've recovered, so you may decide where you should go now." Prairie stated as Fleuve stepped forward.
"Prairie, the four Chosen Ones have decided to join us!" Fleuve said as Prairie stood up from her seat.
"Y-You will?" Prairie asked as the four Chosen Ones nodded, "Thank you…" Prairie paused for a while before she sat back down on her seat. "But I'll give you a special trial before you can officially join the Guardians."
"Trial? What trial?" Atlas asked.
"Vent and Aile's wedding is next week, so I'll leave you in charge of the decorations. The ceremony will be held on the deck." Prairie told the Chosen Ones as Atlas turned around to the three Chosen Ones.
"Siarnaq, what do you want to take care of?" Atlas asked.
"Tables." Siarnaq replied shortly.
"Okay… do you want to help with the tablecloth too?" Atlas asked again.
"No." Siarnaq let out another short reply before he left the Control Room silently.
"It looks like Siarnaq is still as silent as usual!" Thetis commented.
"Come on, let's discuss the decors somewhere else!" Atlas as she dragged the two remaining Chosen Ones out of the room.
Sorry, but this wedding will be postponed for two weeks! Please review!
