On the Way to HQ Part II

"So, what's the last thing you two remember before waking up on the road," Max asked Grey and Ashe, who had decided to go with Max and the rest for now. They were currently making their way to HQ the day after they had stayed in town.

"Not much," Grey answered. "The last thing I can recall is me and Ashe having a sparring match and then…nothing."

"Anything else," Netto asked.

"Yeah," Ashe answered. "A weird, green warp or something in the air."

"A zone portal," Max said. "So, you two were caught in its pull and are stuck in the Prime Zone for now."

"Uh, sure, let's go with that," Ashe said.

"On top of what you've told us, you're also Mega Men."

"How did you know that?"

"I talked with Model A last night," Megaman said. "I can't help but wonder what Axl-R will think when he learns that his biometal in the future is a female."

"Are you sure that my past self is a guy," Model A asked, still not believing what Megaman had told her.

"Yeah, pretty sure." After that, they walked on for another hour before breaking for lunch. "Man, I am so glad you guys went to the casino last night."

"Yeah," Naruto said. "Even the short amount of time you spent there was enough to get money for a journey that could four times longer than this one." He tore into a cup of ramen that he had bought with his cut of the profit from the casino.

"So, how do you know what the Mega Men are," Grey asked, eating a sandwich.

"We have a Mega Man on our team. Her name's Kassie Haro and her biometal partner is Model MD," Max answered, pulling out a foot-long submarine sandwich.

"Never heard of them."

"Of course not. They're from this zone and no other."

"Oh."

"By the way, there are more Mega Men in this zone, all part of an organization. So don't be surprised if you're attacked by other people with biometal partners."

"Ummm…..ok. I guess I'll just have to take your word on that."

"How much farther have we got," Ashe complained.

"Well, if you feel like walking half the night, we can actually reach it sometime in the evening of tomorrow. That means we'll have cut the travel time by third of what's normally expected," Max answered. "I would suggest walking half the night anyways. I wanna get there as soon as possible."

"Why," Lan asked. "You got a date or something?"

"No, but Will does. I got a call last night and he finally asked Kass out on a date. It's his first one and to be honest, he's gonna need all of the guys' help to get ready for it. That includes our new members," he said, turning to Naruto, Netto, Sasuke, and their netnavis.

"Hey, what about us," Ashe asked.

"Ok, first off, you're not a guy. Second, I never asked you to be on the team," Max said.

"So. From what you've told us, you can use all the help you can get," Ashe said. "And besides, it's two more Mega Men on your team to help."

Max considered and then nodded. "Alright. That means that you'll be helping us as well, Grey."

"Wait, me?! I don't know anything about dating," Gray said, starting to freak out.

"Oh, come on. Surely you're being modest," Lan said.

"No, he isn't. In our zone, he wasn't exactly casa nova," Ashe said. "Nor a ladies' man. Or anything else along those lines."

"Gee, thanks for the support," Grey said.

"Oh, get over it shrimp," Ashe said. Max, Sasuke, Lan, Netto, Kyuubi, Rockman, and Megaman all looked at one another. Max grabbed Grey and moved him off to the side.

"WE AREN'T SHORT!" Naruto and Shinobi yelled, tackling Ashe, a cloud of dust surrounding the three.

"Uh, what was that about," Grey asked, confused.

"Those two are really sensitive about their height," Netto said. Everyone continued to watch as the dust cloud grew bigger. "Uh, when are we gonna get back on the road?"

"I guess when those three stop fighting," Max said. "Right now, it looks like it could go either way."

***

"Now then, what have we learned today," Max asked, looking around Ashe, Naruto, and Shinobi.

"That these two are sensitive about their height," Ashe said, covered in bruises and cuts.

"That Ashe is a dirty fighter," Shinobi and Naruto said, both covered in just as many bruises and cuts as Ashe was.

"And…..," Max said, looking at them.

"And that she will kick our butts."

"Good. Now then, we need to get back on the road. Come on, grab your bags and let's get going. We've still got a day and a half of traveling ahead of us."
