GAAAAHHH. After playing though MMSF3:RJ (which is what made this take so long to put up, one for playing it so much, two for what I'm gonna say), I noticed that my PLANNED plot is a lot like MMSF3 jumbled around. I mean, there's enemies like Jack and Tia, and then there's another thing that happened and stuff with the (SPOILER ALERT) Planet FM scene and stuff and GAAAH I dunno how I'm gonna do it. I mean, it's not a copy, but because of MMSF3, it kinda messes up my ideal plot. Anyway, hopefully my NEW plot will work. It won't be as incredibly awesome, but eh, maybe I can get it to work. Also, this chapter will be considerably small. HERE GOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! (And Megaman isn't mine… yet, heheheh…)
Chapter 5: The Game Begins
During the remaining time leading up to the deadline set by the mysterious challengers, Geo and Sonia struggled to Wave Change. However, they had no success. Even with the modifications, Omega-Xis and Lyra still couldn't seem to function as normal WC-Wizards, such as Acid, Gaea, or Roll.
"Mega…" Geo began, 'Why can't we Wave Change yet..? We only have until tomorrow…"
Omega-Xis scoffed. "It ain't my fault, kid. I'm doing all I can, too. Your Transcode ain't blocked, so I dunno what's the deal."
Both Geo and Sonia practiced the rest of the day, trying to Wave Change again. Yet, they still could not manage anything. When night fell, Geo and Sonia walked out to Vista Point and fell asleep under the stars in each others' arms. They knew what would happen the next day, and would both do whatever they could to stall the invaders until Ace, Damian, Pat, Luna, Bud, or another Transcode to show up. The whole night, Geo and Sonia slept, side by side, waiting for their rude awakening.
When morning came, a loud crash woke Geo and Sonia up. They both jumped, diving and rolling across the ground, and turning around to face their enemies. In the morning sun, Prometheus Edge and Pandora Bolt both hovered above the ground, the first grinning maniacally and the other staring blankly.
"Well, well," Prometheus Edge said, sneering. "What do ya know. Little MegaMan can't actually become MegaMan anymore. How pathetic." His grin faded and he scowled angrily. "If it wasn't for our orders, I'd tell you to pack up and leave, Pandora."
"Yes, I would agree, Prometheus," she replied calmly. "What should I do, though?"
"Hmm…" Prometheus Edge thought. "Look at the girl. Notice anything… interesting..?" He grinned again.
"Yes," Pandora Bolt replied. "She is carrying a child."
Sonia gasped and looked at her stomach. Geo looked, too. "I… Y-you can't… you can't tell, yet…" Sonia stuttered, scared. "H-how… How did you n-notice..?"
"You humans know more about EM Waves than you do yourselves…" Pandora Bolt said. "You, too, give off signals. It affects everything around you… Even your EM technology. That is how Wizards function. Yet, as I stated, not even your scientists know that. They simply got lucky while trying to invent something…"
"Enough chit-chat," Prometheus Edge cut in, grinning. "I like to play with my prey, first. Sister, why don't you take out this hero and heroine's spawn?" He chuckled.
"I will, Brother," she agreed. She disappeared and then reappeared in front of Sonia. "I'll take care of you later, Miss Strumm." Sonia was frozen by fear. Pandora Bolt reared back her staff and spun it around. It crackled with electricity and ice as it spun faster and faster. She finally began to bring it forward, but just then was interrupted.
"BattleCard, PlusCannon!" Geo shouted, pressing a few buttons on his Hunter VG screen. Pandora Bolt's staff was knocked from her hand, and she was forced to teleport away to retrieve it.
"Pest," Prometheus Edge said, angry. "I think it's time for me to start playing the Game." He dashed up to Sonia and slapped her across the face, knocking her down. She tried to crawl away, but he pulled her up by her leg, making her grasps at the grass useless. "Heh, what should I do? Break her leg..?" He grabbed her leg with his other hand and twisted, her leg making a loud cracking noise, and causing her to scream. Geo's eyes widened. Prometheus Edge saw this and laughed maniacally, grinning wider than ever.
"No," Geo said, staring at the ground. "No. No. No."
"What?" Prometheus asked, grinning. "Can't you take the fact that two of the things most precious to you are in my hands?" He grinned even wider.
Geo looked up. "What's your problem?" He held his arm out. "I'll take care of this now. I think I can Wave Change again. Why am I talking? Why are you listening?" Omega-Xis appeared beside Geo. "Transcode double-zero three, MegaMan! EM Wave Change, Geo Stelar, ON THE AIR!" He scowled and EM Waves enveloped him, wrapping around his body. Noise from nearby devices crackled in reaction to the Change, some of it mixing in with Geo's EM Waves. When the Waves cleared, Geo stood as MegaMan, but something was different. Parts of his armor were corrupted by the Noise, causing them to fade in and out.
"Finally decided to join the game?" Prometheus Edge asked, grinning. "Heh, you're too late. I gave you more than enough time. But, I guess we can fight… right after I take care of this wench!" He laughed again and moved his hand towards Sonia's throat. However, he stopped suddenly. "Wh… What the HELL?!" he yelled.
MegaMan walked towards him. "Drop her. Right now."
Prometheus Edge laughed again. "Heh, or what? You'll cry on me?"
"I said 'Right now,' bastard," MegaMan said coldly. "Last chance."
"Oh, and now with the name calling?" Prometheus Edge taunted. "I'm soooo scared."
"Glad to hear it," MegaMan said before disappearing. Prometheus Edge gasped and looked around. MegaMan reappeared right in front of him and punched him with a perfect right hook. Prometheus Edge dropped Sonia, who was promptly rescued by MegaMan. He set her down and disappeared again, kicking Prometheus Edge up into the air before he hit the ground.
"It's over. I don't care what you do, IT'S OVER!" MegaMan yelled. He held his Buster forward, which crackled with Noise. A ball of Crimson gathered at the tip of it, growing bigger and bigger.
"You won't hit me with that, I can guarantee it!" Prometheus Edge said, grinning again. "Your Noise is focused into that, you can keep me in one spot anymore!" He recovered in midair and dashed backwards.
"You're right," MegaMan said. "But I'm not trying to hit you." He released the pent up Noise, which buzzed through the air, striking Pandora Bolt, who had been floating to the side of Vista Point, waiting for an opening. She gasped and fell, causing Prometheus Edge to gasp as well. Prometheus Edge flew after Pandora Bolt, but MegaMan stopped him. "No… I will finish you both off if you don't show me your true form," MegaMan demanded. "Leo Kingdom, Pegasus Magic… I don't know what happened, but show yourselves NOW. And Dragon Sky, you, too, if you're around. I'm not playing games this time around."
Prometheus Edge and Pandora Bolt both looked at MegaMan, somewhat surprised. "You want to see our power..? Fine, we'll show you our power…" Prometheus Edge began laughing maniacally as he glowed red, and Pandora Bolt began to grin a bit as well as she glowed blue.
MegaMan walked forward, ready to face his enemies. "And now… My turn."
