Episode 8: A lovely first Kiss!
Opening Song:
Ikutsu namida o nagashitara
Every Heart sunao ni nareru darou
Dare ni omoi wo tsutaetara
Every Heart kokoro mitasareru no darou
Nagai nagai yoru ni obieteita
Tooi hoshi ni inotteta
Meguru meguru toki no naka de
Bokutachi wa ai o sagashiteiru
Tsuyoku tsuyoku naritai kara
Kyou mo takai sora miageteiru
At the Sports Centre...
After watching a movie at Meiru's house, the group of friends decided to do something outside. That is when Flora came up with the idea of going swimming, what other way of making this sleepover even better.
"Ah... this so nice!" Meiru floated in the water, with Yaito, who was sitting at the edge of the pool. "Yaito-chan, you should really come here, the water is really warm"
"I'll just sit here for a while, maybe in a few minutes" Yaito smiled and kicked the water, which went directly at Meiru's face.
"Why did you do that, Yaito-chan?" irritation was in Meiru's voice. She wiped the water from her eyes and faced the blonde-haired girl.
"Sorry, Meiru-chan!" apologized Yaito.
"Now I think that it's time for you to start swimming already!" the red-haired girl harshly grabbed Yaito's both legs, pulled them and... SPLASH! Down went Yaito, into the water.
Both girls were now underwater, pushing and kicking each other. It almost looked like a catfight.
"What's going on down there?" Dekao looked at the splashing that was happening at the edge of the pool.
Netto was right behind him. He tilted a little and saw glimpses of red hair. "It's Meiru-chan!" he was getting ready to jump in and separate them, but someone was already ahead of him.
"Leave it to me!" with that said, Flora dived into the water and reached the two girls. She saw Meiru and Yaito, pulling each other's hairs. Flora sweatdropped and telepathically shouted at her sister, "Cut it out! Seriously! You're acting like babies! Not even children act this way!"
Meiru turned her head and faced her sister. She watched as the brown-haired girl grabbed both Yaito's and her arm, pulling them to the surface.
"Are you two out of your minds? You could have drowned!" Flora was not happy at all, her face only showed anger and worry.
"Sorry Onee-chan... we just got a little carried away..." Meiru laughed nervously, as she pulled herself up and sat at the edge of the pool.
"I think that we should stay away from each other for a while..." suggested Yaito. She stood right next to Dekao and watched as Flora was lifted by a wave of water. She landed on the edge and put her hands on her hips. She sighed, "I've already gone through a lot today! I had to take hundreds of pictures to get here and I even ended up having to do a few interviews... please take it easy, okay?"
"O-Of course!" exclaimed the two girls.
"Hey you guys! Let's go to that waterslide!" Tohru pointed at the red and orange waterslide at the corner of the pool.
"Good idea!" Dekao was almost running now. He reached the light orange stairs and climbed up. "I'll go first!"
"Coming!" everyone followed Dekao and stood in a line. First went Dekao, next was Tohru, then Yaito and Flora together and now it was Netto's turn, Meiru being right before him.
The brown-haired boy looked at Meiru and smiled, "Your next!"
"I know!" Meiru smiled back and pushed him, "But don't make me wait!"
"Yikes!" Netto quickly grabbed Meiru's arms took keep him from going down too quickly, but failed. The red-haired girl slipped, entered the slide, landed on Netto's lap and enjoyed a fun trip from the top of the slide, to the deep waters of the pool.
"AAAAH!" both of them screamed. The slide turned many times and since it was not a tunnel, but open, they could see exactly when this ride was going to end. Up, down, right, left and the process repeated. They reached the bottom and tightly hugged each other, before splashing into the water.
"That was fun! Let's go again!" laughed Yaito, together with Flora, who was laughing with her.
Dekao ran towards the edge of the pool and saw Netto and Meiru, "Oi Netto! Did you pull my Meiru-chan with you? Cause if you did then y- AAH!" he tripped over and splashed into the water.
"Are you okay, Meiru-chan?" asked Netto. He took her arms and pulled her up.
The red-haired girl looked at his angelic brown-eyes, while almost melting and blushed, "Y-Yeah, I'm okay"
BEEP! BEEP!
Netto's eyes moved from Meiru's to his blue-striped towel, his PET being right on top of it. He picked it up and a hologram version of Rockman appeared on his right shoulder, "Netto-kun, Mejin-san is calling!"
Mejin's face was on the screen of the PET. The brown-haired boy stared at him and spoke, "Mejin-san?"
"No need for formalities! Netto-kun, a navi is attacking Sci-Labs, we need you to come here immediately!" commanded Mejin.
"Roger!" the screen closed, and the brown-eyed boy turned and faced his friends. "A navi is attacking Sci-Labs!"
"Let us go with you!" exclaimed Meiru.
"NO! It's too dangerous!" Netto had almost lost Meiru too many times. He was not going to put her life at risk again. "You guys stay here! I'll be back!" he ran towards the exit of the pool and went straight to the changing rooms.
"Netto!" Meiru was about to run for it, but was stopped by a hand. It was Dekao's, "You heard Netto, it's safer here!"
"I'm not going to just stand here and watch as Netto gets hurt!" the red-haired girl shoved his hand away from his shoulder and looked at him straight in the eyes, "I can help!"
"Don't worry, Meiru-chan! He can't get rid of us that easily! And sounds to me that navi is our dear Dark Star" Flora's eyes begun to glow and a turquoise aura surrounded her body. She tilted a little forward and enormous, white wings appeared on her back.
"H-How did you do that?!" asked Tohru in shock.
"Are you related in any way to birds?" Yaito looked at her with curious eyes.
Flora looked at them and grinned, "Guardian secret and maybe..." She walked towards Meiru and showed her back to her, "Get on my back, cause we're flying to Sci-Labs"
"O-Okay" stammered Meiru. She grabbed the green-eyed girl's shoulders, pulled herself up and made sure that she had a good grip on her.
Flora used her left hand and all their belongings entered Flora's bag. It wrapped itself around Meiru and to the air they went.
"First we'll go to the changing rooms, okay?" suggested Flora.
"Well, I don't want to end up in the news with my swimming suit on so... yeah I think that's I good idea" sweatdropped Meiru.
The brown-haired girl went straight to the changing rooms and opened the door. Once both sisters entered the room, light filled it and after one moment, it was gone. The door slammed open and Flora flew towards the ceiling.
"We're going up!" exclaimed Flora. "The entrance is full of people, so we can't follow Netto if we go that way!"
"A-Are you sure about this?" stammered the red-haired girl.
"Positive! Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!" Flora went straight up and a turquoise aura surrounded her body, her wings flapped a single time and both of them passed through the ceiling.
Meiru's grip on her sister's shoulders increased and she squeezed her eyes shut. The green-eyed girl turned to see the red-haired girl's face and chuckled, "You can open your eyes now"
She slowly opened her eyes and gasped at the beautiful view, "Wow! Pretty!"
"Now look at that..." Flora stared at the ground and saw a brown-haired boy, with a blue PET in his pocket. He was skating and in much hurry too. "I think that we found your boyfriend, Meiru-chan"
"Netto! Come on Onee-chan, let's follow him!" bellowed Meiru, while pointing at the brown-eyed boy.
"Roger!" Flora's eyes begun to glow once again, her wings rose to the air and pushed back. Her speed increased and she went straightforward, right were Netto was going.
"Should we give him a hand?" asked Meiru.
"Nah, he's going to complain about us trying to help him, that it's to dangerous and... well you know the rest" disagreed Flora. She looked down and noticed that Netto was heading to a group of huge buildings. "That's Sci-Labs, isn't it?"
"Yep, and that's were we're landing" Meiru watched as the brown-haired boy entered the building and vanished from their sight. "We have to go over there and then-"
"I can still see him" interrupted Flora, "My eyes can see through the walls, I know exactly where him"
"O-Okay, but we need to go through the entrance first", explained the chocolate brown-eyed girl.
"Got it!" Flora flew straight to the ground and passed through the entrance. The people begun to complain, but Flora shouted, "Crossfusion member flying by!"
At Sci-Labs' main room...
"This guy is tough!" yelled Enzan, as he clenched his fists. "We've got to come up with something else!"
"Searchman, find his weak point!" commanded Raika.
At that moment, the door flew open and Netto entered the room, "Sorry I'm late!" he grabbed his PET and pointed it at the computer, "Plug in, Rockman EXE, Transmission!"
"What took you so long!?" Enzan's voice went directly through Netto's ears.
"I was a little busy..." replied Netto. He looked at the screen, which showed Rockman, Blues and Searchman. "So who's the navi?"
"We don't know, but he's strong! Searchman still can't find his weak point and it's been a while now", explained Raika.
Hikari-hakase and Mejin walked towards the net saviours. Mejin looked at them and spoke, "We can't figure out who this navi is, his abilities don't match a Darkloid, Asteroid, nor a Zoanoroid's abilities."
"So we've got a new enemy in our hands? All right then! Let's use the Program Advance!" exclaimed the brown-haired boy. He took three battle chips and inserted them, "Cannon, Triple Slot-in! Program Advance!
"Don't mention it!" Enzan grabbed three battle chips and exclaimed, "Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword, Triple Slot-in! Program Advance!"
"Let's do this!" yelled Raika, ""Spread Gun, Triple Slot in! Program Advance!"
In Sci-Labs' Network...
"Giga Cannon!"
"Dream Sword!"
"Hyper Burst!"
The attacks were sent straight to the navi. An explosion was created by the impact, making it hard to see before their eyes.
"We did it!" Rockman stared at the cloud of smoke. His weapon disappeared and he stood right were he was.
"No... it's not over yet, look!" Blues pointed at the moving shadow.
"I-Impossible! He survived the three program advances?" Searchman's face was only shock and his eyes were wide open.
The navi grinned at the three net savours, "Did you think that you could defeat me that easily?"
"Y-You are the navi that attacked Netto-kun and Meiru-chan!" yelled Rockman.
"That's right and they were pretty lucky. If my cousin wouldn't have stopped me, your operator would be dead right now" Dark Star crossed his arms and chuckled.
Rockman clenched his fists, almost growling, "What do you want!"
"I just came here to get my prize, that's it" Dark Star put both his arms down and he summoned his sword. "Now, hand over the girl!"
"We don't know who you're looking for, and even if we did, we would never tell you!" shouted Rockman, as his arm transformed into his buster, "Rock Buster!"
Dark Star used his sword and stopped the attack, "Fools, I'm invincible!"
Emmie Arrow!
A turquoise arrow was shot and it hit the warrior right in the middle of his chest. "AAAAH!" the blow forcing him to harshly hit the ground.
The navi chuckled at Dark Star, "Don't make me laugh!"
"Rockman!" Roll's voice called out. She ran towards the blue-haired navi with a huge smile on her face.
"Roll-chan! W-What are you doing here? I told you to stay at the Sport Centre!" Rockman lifted both his fists. He wanted Roll to be safe, but the first thing that she needed to do was to disobey him.
"Well what did you expect me to do? I wasn't going to stand there and wait for your return!" Roll was irritated at Rockman over-protective behaviour around her, "You need my help and that's why I'm here!"
"Now... what do we have here!" Dark Star stood up and stared at the two navis, "Nature, what a surprise!"
"Skip the warm welcomes, Dark Star", sighed Emmie.
"Oh but of course I need to greet you. You brought my prize" Dark Star grinned, as his eyes moved from Emmie to Roll, "Hatto, as gorgeous as ever!"
"Who? Me?" The blonde-haired navi pointed at herself and stepped back, after Dark Star mischievously smiled at her.
"That's right my sweetie pie, my-" he was interrupted. Thousands of sharp Sakura petals hit the ground, less than a few inches away from him.
"If I were Empress... I would have slapped you" Emmie was now right in front of Roll. She looked at Dark Star with disgust.
"Now you made me angry..." the warrior dashed forward and lifted his sword, pointing it right in front of the ginger-haired navi, "Killing Slash!" he attacked her, she went through a few digital walls because of the wall and groaned in pain.
"Onee-chan!" Roll called out for her sister.
"Emmie-chan!" exclaimed Blues. He looked at the damage that Dark Star's blow had left and clenched his fists.
"Emmie-chan!" Flora squeezed her PET. She looked directly at her cousin's face and showed the anger in her face.
Dark Star lifted his hand to the air and shouted, "Obsidian Nightmare!" sharp crystals appeared in front of Flora and Meiru. They surrounded both girls and trapped them inside an obsidian-stoned coffin. It was covered with chains, locking them inside, "AAAAH!"
"Meiru-chan!" Netto ran towards the coffin, "Are you okay!?"
"No! It's dark! I can't see a thing!" yelled Meiru in fear.
Flora rolled her eyes and firmly spoke, "We are in a coffin, trapped inside, live with it"
"Don't worry! We'll get you out!" the brown-haired boy punched the coffin a few times, nothing.
"Satellite Ray!" Searchman lifted his hand and summoned a green satellite. It reached Dark Star, but missed by a few centimetres.
"Battle chip, Long Blade, Slot-in!" Blue's right arm transformed into a long sword, with a sharp and dashed forward, his target being the powerful warrior, "Long Blade!" Dark Star rapidly moved to the side, avoiding the white-haired navi's attack.
"It's no use!" The beast on Dark Star's opened its mouth and a dark looking chain came out from it, "Dark Chain!" It went straight towards Roll and wrapped itself around her neck.
"Hey! Let me go!" Roll took hold of the chain and tried to break free, but couldn't. The warrior pulled the chain back, taking the blonde-haired navi with it.
"Roll-chan!" Rockman ran towards Roll and watched as the warrior took hold of her face with his thumb and index finger.
Dark Star brought her face closer and yelled at her face, "Now watch, Daisgaine, as I steal a kiss from your precious Hatto!" He closed his eyes and pulled Roll's face closer.
The blonde-haired navi tried to pull back, but a horrifying electric shock hit her very body. She yelled in pain, her body no longer obeying her commands. She watched as Dark Star's face got closer; now being just inches away from her face. Is this it... is this how my first kiss going to be... no... don't take it from me... I want to give it to someone else... please... help me... Rockman...
"ROLL-CHAN!"
She heard a voice, the clashing of two swords and then... it happened. Lips were touching hers... but they were... soft and gentle. The warmth spread over her entire body. Her heart beated, like the sound of drums. She slowly opened her eyes, expecting to see the sickening face of Dark Star, but it wasn't him. A blue hand was holding her cheek and a glimpse of spiky, blue hair were right behind his shoulder. His face showed kindness all over it. It was he, the navi that she loved. It was no other than Rockman. The blonde-haired navi blushed heavily and closed her eyes.
"R-Rockman?" Netto stared at his navi in shock, with his mouth wide open.
"What in the world?" Searchman looked at the scene, surprise showing on his face.
"Now I didn't expect that from him" spoke Blues to himself.
Rockman broke the kiss and gazed at Roll's pure emerald eyes, watching as tears fell from them. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and dug her face on his neck, with bright red cheeks on her face.
"How dare you!" shouted Dark Star. He had been pushed to the side by Rockman's sword and was now standing. "I'm going to kill you, Rockman!" He swung his sword, his goal being attacking the blue-haired navi, but missed.
Rockman was surrounded by a white aura. His gloves, boots and helmet became bright red, while his suit was dark blue. Silver diamonds cover the top of his gloves and boots, his helmet showing a black feather right in the middle. He lifted his powerful blue sword, with diamonds at the top and swung it at Dark Star. An enormous wave of light shot straight at the warrior and attacked him, as he exclaimed, "IMPOSSIBLE! AAAAAAAH!" Dark Star broke into data particles and disappeared.
"It's over" breathed out Rockman in relief. His eyes moved from the explosion to the blonde-haired navi's face. He sweetly smiled, as he turned back into his normal self. "Are you okay, Roll-chan?"
"Yeah, I'm okay", responded Roll. She lifted her head and stared at Rockman's bright green eyes.
Emmie-chan!
Both navis turned and looked at Blues, who was carrying Emmie, with one arm around his shoulders. Roll let go of Rockman and ran towards her sister, "Onee-chan!"
"So... how did it go?" grinned at the blonde-haired navi.
"Huh... wait a second... you did this on purpose, now did you?" Roll crossed her arms, irritation showing in her voice.
"Maybe..." she stood up and cheerfully smiled.
"Onee-chan..." sighed Roll, while sweatdropping.
Everyone laughed, until someone interrupted him or her. "Sorry for interrupting, but we would really like to get out of here"
It was Flora. Both girls were still inside the coffin. At that moment, the obsidian-stoned coffin cracked into pieces, the two sisters fell and painfully hit the ground. "OOOOW!"
"Well that was fun" sarcastically spoke Flora.
"I would say the entire opposite" disagreed the red-haired girl. She lifted herself up, with a little help from Netto.
"Here, let me help you" Enzan gave the green-eyed girl a hand and pulled her up.
Flora felt a shock, as if she had felt a similar touch. She looked at his eyes and a boy with deep blue eyes and long blue hair replaced Enzan, for one moment. H-Helio?
"T-Thank you" stammered the brown-haired girl. Could it be possible... that this boy is my protector...Helio?
Flora: Rockman and Roll kissed! I'm soooo happy!
Emmie: Now isn't that romantic?
Flora: You know what Emmie-chan... I think that we've just found our protector...
Emmie: I think so too... and I wonder what Dark Star is coming up next...
Flora: We'll be definitely ready for him!
Flora & Emmie: Coming next... Guardian's true fear!
