Wow, long time since last update, huh? Sorry about that, my college classes took more out of me than I thought, and so I got caught up more in relaxing and video games (I got an X-box 360, finally) that I lost track of writing (both this AND my novel, which will hopefully be published early 2010, but I won't hold my breath). Anyway, I had some free time and I got so many favorites and good reviews on AND dA that I couldn't let my fans just sit around with a cliffhanger. So here it is, the climax of Last Song! Also, Megaman (or Rockman, if youre in Japan, but Im calling him Megaman) belongs to Keiji Inafune (or, if youre in Japan, Inafune Keiji).
Chapter 6: Make Some Noise for the Future
Prometheus Edge and Pandora Bolt glowed their signature colors. After several bursts and flashes, they transformed into beast-like EM beings. Prometheus Edge had a lion's mane, much like Leo Kingdom. His scythe was surrounded in flames and was much larger. His fanged grin was also morew intimidating than before. Pandora Bolt sprouted wings resembling those of Pegasus Magic. The air around her turned to mist, being cooled by the ice that covered her body and staff.
"So, little Geo," Prometheus Edge said smugly, "What will you do now? Could you really even hope face the power of two Wave Changed Admins?" He laughed, just as maniacally as before.
"Hope?" Megaman asked, not really presenting it as a question. "I don't need to 'hope' to beat a speck of scum like you. I always know that I'll…" He stopped midsentence. "I don't need to perform dramatics for you. Let make it simple: I'm gonna win, and you can't do anything to make me think otherwise!" He dashed forward, Buster forward, firing several shots. Prometheus simply slashed through the ones aimed at him, and Pandora nullified the ones aimed at her with icicles.
"Weak attacks?" Prometheus taunted. "Heh, I've sparred with rocks stronger than you!"
Megaman chuckled. "Oh really? While we're insulting each other, I'll point out that a rock isn't the smartest thing to spar with, as it doesn't have fists." Prometheus grimaced at the fact his insult was turned against him. Megaman continued, " But if you like fighting rocks so much, then take this!" He tapped on his Buster, then shouted, "Moai Falls Three!"
EM rocks began to fall from the sky, pelting Prometheus and Pandora. "You brat!" Prometheus shouted.
Pandora had trouble dodging, as physical movement wasn't her best skill. "Whhheeeh..!" she whined, being trapped by the falling boulders.
"Pandora!" Prometheus cried, rushing to save his sister.
Megaman moved too fast to be seen and cut him off. "Hold it!' he said seriously. "I won't do anything threatening to her," he assured him, "but I need to know. Why do you control the Admins? Where is Dragon Sky? What do you want?" He scowled with both anger and seriousness.
Prometheus didn't feel like explaining himself. He reared back his scythe and slashed at Megaman quickly. However, Megaman stopped the blade by simply grabbing it. His hand crackled with Noise. Prometheus' eyes widened and he frowned. "You want to know everything, huh? Well, I'll tell you. We corrupted the Admins with Noise. Planets all around the universe have different types of Noise, and the Admins were susceptible to a few from planets they hadn't visited. It was easy to bring them down and Wave Change after that."
"Hold it," Megaman interrupted. "You travelled to many planets. Are you human?"
"Yeah, we are," Prometheus said. "We could Wave Change before the Admins, though. I used to Wave Change with Volans from FM, who was a survivor of AM. He was smart, but also very trusting. Getting him to help was too easy. Pandora had Pisces, another FM-ian too trusting for her own good."
"Wait," Megaman interrupted again. "'Was?'"
"Was," Prometheus verified, grinning.
"You…." Megaman choked out. "What about Dragon Sky and your motive?!"
"We deleted him," Prometheus said nonchalantly. Megaman's eyes grew wide. "Don't fret, he's strong, probably reconstructing back on FM. But our motive… What else do radicals want? We're going to destroy the world!"
"You're wrong," Megman said. Prometheus looked at him quizzically. "You're not going to destroy any worlds." He pushed Prometheus' scythe away. Noise began to swarm his body.
"Whatever you say," Prometheus said, dashing back. Noise covered his body as well. "Though, I think you're wrong!" His body was engulfed in flames. After the fire faded away, Prometheus Edge was left with an even larger scythe and wild armor. He disappeared as he dashed forward at Megaman. "Die!" he shouted.
As he crackled with Noise, Megaman thought about what he was fighting for. No just Sonia and his unborn child, but for the whole world. His friends, family, and everyone else. Even for those who were not as fond of the world; Vega, King, and other criminals. Good or bad, he was fighting for everyone on Earth, and those on FM as well. He clenched his fist, causing built up Noise to burst. The Noise cleared from his body, leaving silver armor covering his blue battle suit. His armor had plates pointing from the normal armor, guarding more of his body. There was also a red crystal which glowed with Noise above his visor. His Buster had a gold spine on it, which also glowed with Noise. 'Now for the intimidating dramatics,' Geo thought. "Megaman EX," he announced clearly. Noise swirled around him like an energy force.
Prometheus grinned and made another, more powerful slash at Megaman. However, just like before, Megaman stopped it with his bare hand. To be more precise, this time, he stopped it with one finger, causing Prometheus to gasp in shock. "You messed with the wrong person," Megaman said coldly. "You have messed with my…" he paused, but then continued, "family." Sonia, who was watching from further away, heard these words and smiled for the first time since the fight started.
"You get him, Geo!" Sonia yelled cheerfully. "You can do it!"
Prometheus heard her and changed his target. "Hah! If I kill this girl, will it break you? Will it weaken you?!" He charged forward, ready to attack Sonia, who began to cry.
However, Prometheus had made the last attack he would ever make. Megaman disappeaered and appeared right in front of Sonia, pointing his Buster at Prometheus. "I said messing with my family was a mistake," he said, colder than before. "EX Noise Blazer!" he said firmly. Red and blue Noise beams crossed and intertwined with each other and pierced Prometheus' EM armor. When the Noise cleared, Dan Titan was lying on the ground, unconscious. Megaman moved over to the rocks where Pandora was buried. He quickly moved them to find that Pandora was no longer Wave Changed and was now Destiny Box, though conscious. And crying. "W… What's wrong?" Megaman asked. He stepped forward, but then fell to his knee. "Augh…" he gasped, and was forced out of his EM Wave Changed form. "Is everything good, Mega?"
"Yeah, good as ever. We just were battleworn,' Omega said.
"Oh yeah, hold on," Geo said, walking closer to Destiny. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"i… I'm sorry…" she wept. "I k-know that I did something wrong, b-but… I-I didn't… I m-mean… You made me see that… That there a-are still p-people that will d-d-do anything to p-protect someone…"
'Another Jack and Tia…' Geo thought. "I know," he said, trying to console her. "A lot of people nowadays are pretty selfish, and… well… some people get the short end of the stick." He thought about his past, about how his father went missing for three years. He remembered how he didn't trust anyone, and remembered his life after meeting Omega-Xis. He met many people who fell victim to the same feelings, but couldn't control them. Many of them wanted the same thing, to end the world. That's why Geo decided to be Earth's Protector. "But there're also people who care. I wouldn't have fought against you if I didn't care. I didn't want you to make a mistake that you'd regret, or possibly not even survive. Megaman isn't just a fighter. If you ever need help with anything, just come to me. As long as you're not doing something wrong, I'll help you," he said, smiling. He held out his hand for Destiny, offering to help her up. She accepted, and she stood up after stumbling a bit.
"I-is D-Dan okay..?" she asked feebly.
"Yeah, he'll be fine," Geo said. "He'll be asleep for a bit, and he won't be Wave Changing ever again, but he'll survive."
"T-that's good," Destiny said. She walked over to Dan. "You're such an idiot… Dan… I should have stopped you, but… I thought I could trust you. But then you turned as bad as everyone else. I'll have to talk some sense into you, silly boy." She picked him up and turned to Geo, who was surprised she could lift Dan so easily. " Thank you, Me- Geo. I'll make sure to nurse the Admins back to health." She turned and looked to the sky. "EM Wave Change, Destiny Box, On The Air!" She transformed into a beautiful EM being, different from Pandora Bolt. "I call myself Pisces Cloud. This is goodbye, Geo, but I hope to see you again one day." With these words, she jumped and disappeared onto the EM Wave Roads.
Geo stared into the sky for a few minutes. Even he didn't know if he was trying to watch Destiny leave or if he was watching the stars. Though, his attention snapped back into place, and he turned to Sonia. "Baby, are you okay?" he called, running to her.
Sonia stood up, and gasped. "Yeah, just a bit bruised. Lyra helped me heal up a bit. I'll be fine after some rest, and so should the baby."
Geo smiled. "That's good," he said. "Let's go home." They walked back home, hand in hand.
A FEW MONTHS LATER…
"Geeeeeoooooo Steeelllaaaaaaaaaar!" Sonia yelled, calling the father of her child. Geo came running into the room, panting too much to speak. "Your little monster is giving me trouble… AGAIN!" She was changing the diaper of their baby boy, named Sora Stelar.
"Hey, he's your monster, too, you know," Geo said, catching his breath.
"Yeah," Sonia said, smiling. She walked over and kissed him gently. "I know he is." She winks and kissed him again. "He's our little monster, and a cute monster at that. He does take after his father, after all."
"Thanks?" Geo said, hoping that was a compliment. "But yeah, he is, and I'm happy about that." He finished his sentence, smiling. This began a happy future for the both of them.
