Okay...this chapter is a lot longer than the other two, and I mean a thousand words longer. Well right now I'd like to clarify a few things. First, Luna's EM partner is Ophiuca (The medusa-like one if you didn't know), but i'll still be calling her Luna for reasons that I can't reveal just yet. Secondly, if you haven't noticed, I update pretty much every week so you can probably expect a new chapter by the weekend or maybe a day or two later or earlier. Well, now that that's off my chest, let's begin the 6,500 word chapter (Yikes!)

Shooting Star Rockman Celestia: 2nd Wave
Chapter 3: Heart

Two days after the battle that had taken place in the Zero Satella HQ, things had seemed to calm down a bit with no reports or sightings of Dealer nor Celestia. Geo had expected a call from Ace the day after, but never did receive any word from the officer.

Seeing that there was no immediate danger at the moment, everyone took this chance to kick back and relax with their own daily routines. There was one certain girl that was actually more than happy to have a break. Her schedule was just so booked these days that she never had that much free time anymore. But of course, if it's something you absolutely love doing, you tend to stick to it.

As the hovering bus (Or wave liner) continued to speed through the rough and black road, Sonia's seemingly anxious face only deepened with that same emotion. "Hey Lyra, how much longer till' we get there?" She asked, staring at the FM-ian who begun to bring up a virtual map complete with a red marker to the destination.

"Well, it says here that it should take about 5 more minutes" The alien replied, "And please try to stop asking that same question everytime we pass a gas station. That could be a bad habit for a young pop-star like you"

"Yeah I know...but it's just that I'm SO nervous right now. I mean, today's the day I finally see who my partner is. The producers took too long trying to decide who it'd be so it's been keeping me on the edge of my seat for days" The teen anxiously explained.

Apparently, Sonia had signed up with a producer that had a different plan in mind. She thought 'why not join 2 stars together to form one pop sensation?'. As much as it sounded like a really great idea, all plans still have yet to be seen in action. Nonetheless, It still had a pretty big chance of becoming a hit in no time.

"So, who's this person you're supposed to be partnered up with in the first place?" Lyra asked, making the teen bring up a virtual photo from her MP-Hunter. Through the picture, a girl with brown hair and blue eyes could be seen. Her hair was styled with a single long ponytail to her right and she was dressed in cloths with violet being their main color.

"Her name's Belle Stern and she's a musicianf just like me" Sonia happily said.

The girl's last name seemed to spark a thread in Lyra's memory. She'd heard that name somewhere before and it took her a few moments of reminiscing before she could recall yet another person with the same last name as hers.

"Oh, so she's related to Lee Stern? He's that guy in charge of the staff right?"

"Yup, she's his little sister" Sonia replied, "He was the one that recommended her in the first place, or so they tell me"

"Hmm...i see" Lyra began, "Oh and by the way, how come you didn't invite Geo and the rest of the gang?"

Hearing the question from her FM-ian partner, Sonia swayed her crystal green eyes over to the view of moving landscapes that could be seen through the bus' thin windows. "Well, they're pretty busy these days...and besides, they'll probably just get bored just watching the recording..."

That was a statement that came as a rather shock to Lyra. She'd known Sonia for a very long time now, but this kind of thinking was something Lyra had never encountered before in any of their various conversations. There was just something...odd about it; like there was something missing.

"If you say so...but just so you know, I don't think they'd get bored at all" The harp shaped alien warmly said. Not only was she Sonia's partner, but also a very trustworthy friend who'd shown that quality in situations of all kinds in the past. You could almost say Lyra was like her guardian angel...or at least something along those lines.

After giving the FM-ian a small but genuine smile, Sonia switched her attention over to a massive and glass plated building that fit right in with the other skyscrapers that consisted her current vision. Also Lying there in the distance were numerous areas that were rather unique and looked very much like a scene that you would see in a popular TV show. It seemed that the whole district was not just a recording studio, but also one for filming a wide variety of shows and even movies.

Sonia started, "Wow...It looks even bigger in person than on the brochure..."

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now standing a few ways from the large studio, Sonia realized that it was even bigger than she'd pictured it a few minutes ago. As she walked forward, she was greeted by all the lined up trees that filled the narrow walkway, silently waving their green leaves as the girl continued to move.

At the building's entrance, many different people could be seen, but there was this one specific person that looked like he was searching for something, judging from the fact that he was narrowing his eyes left and right. Finally spotting who he'd been looking for, the man calmly waved his hand with a smile. "There you are, Sonia" he began, "Belle just arrived a few minutes ago and she's been dying to meet you"

The unknown turned out to be the head of staff, Lee Stern, or in other words, Belle's much older brother. He had fairly dark skin and slightly curly hair partnered up with brown eyes and a tall physique. Sonia had only met Lee a few times before the current day, but because of Lee's friendly and 'big-brother-like' personality, they got along pretty well.

"Oh hey! It's been awhile!" Sonia happily yelled before walking up to the dark skin-toned man. "To tell you the truth, I'm kinda excited to meet Belle. I heard she's really picking up a name for herself"

"Yup, she sure is" Lee replied, "She's actually a pretty big fan of yours and she's been practicing really hard to be just like her pop-star idol"

Hearing that comment, Sonia slightly blushed in embarassment, coupled with a shy smile across her pink-turned face. "I-Is that so? Wow...it's really been awhile since I've heard someone say that about me..." She shyly muttered, making the staff leader chuckle.

"Heh, you don't need to be so modest. You've earned your reputation and you know it. Oh, and look who's finally come to greet you"

Before Sonia could even glance over her shoulder, a sudden jolt from behind had wrapped its arms around the teen, driving her feet to fight to keep their balance. Finally looking behind her, Sonia could now see the real Belle Stern instead of a virtual picture that she had seen since a day ago.

"It's really really you! I can't believe I'm actually meeting you in person!" The girl dressed in blue said with a great big smile as she continued to embrace the off-guard Sonia. Unfortunately for the two, Sonia's feet just about reached their limit, causing an obvious consequence for them.

"Gaaahh!" The two girls yelled as they hit the ground with a loud bump. In an instant, the staff leader rushed over to them and slowly helped them back to their feet.

"You two okay?" He asked, checking for any bruises that might have occured from the fall, but thankfully, there were no damages in sight. For a pretty hard fall, that was a pretty handy miracle...or because from fighting too much, Sonia had learned how to take a fall like that pretty easily.

"I-I'm really sorry!" Belle said, her head bowed down in apology. "it's just that I was so excited to finally meet you that I kinda...got too worked up"

From that rather unique first meeting alone, Sonia could tell that her partner was someone she could really cooperate with. She seemed pretty nice with a humble kind of aura around her. In fact, it kind of reminded Sonia of her younger days, minus the clumsiness.

"It's fine. I know you didn't mean it" She replied with a reassuring smile. "But it's just that I'm kinda surprised to have such a big fan even after I stepped out of the music business for a long time" That being said, it didn't really matter to Belle who thought much of her idol.

"Well, even if you did quit, you're back now, aren't you?" And at that moment, Sonia could almost see little stars glittering in the girl's eyes. "And besides, your music's just too good to be forgotten just like that!"

"S-She's really dedicated..." The pink haired teen quietly thought to herself, her facial expression giving off a look of surprise mixed in with a pinch of happiness inside. She's had a swarm of fans in the past, but this one just seemed even more hardcore.

Lee laughed, "Well, we should probably get going now. The director's pretty much a perfectionist and she's not really a fan of waiting. One time I was late by 15 minutes, and I ended up taking twice my workload while getting only a half of my paycheck"

As Sonia and Belle walked along the clean and decorative hallways of the studio, they were given warm greetings by all the staff members and fellow musicians they had passed by. It seemed that it wasn't only them that were notified of the girls' arrival, but even the wizards were sharing a warm welcome as well.

But...there was at least one person that wasn't so keen on seeing them. "You're TWO minutes late!" A rather angry voice said. Apparently, it was a female wizard who was covered with a mix of blue and white parts. "Do you know how much valuable time you're wasting?!"

And at once, the two singers immediately ducked their heads, saying a short "I'm very sorry!" with a tone of fear and intimidation.

Thankfully though, Lee had come to the rescue at just the right time. "Now, now, don't be so hard on them, Ice. It's only their first day after all. You don't want them having a nervous breakdown on their first day, would you? I know I wouldn't"

"Hmm...good point" The wizard known as Ice responded, "Sorry about that, girls. I guess I just lost it a bit there. Anyway, I'm sure you know why you're here, right?"

Replied with nods from the two, Ice continued, "Good, then we can cut right to the chase. You two are gonna form a duo which I'm sure will turn into a big hit faster than a ball thrown by the best pitcher in the world! All I need first is some confirmation of that plan of mine, so I'll have you girls sing a little song"

Sonia and Belle were brought into one of the many recording rooms that were laid out across the whole building. In there, they'd do as the director had requested. Now inside a small room surrounded by soundproof glass, the two were just about ready to start.

"Okay, you can begin anytime" Lee said before letting go of the 'talk' button on his control panel.

After letting out deep breaths, they finally began to sing their song. Actually, that song had been chosen by the director because she thought it would bring out the full potential of both their voices and make them sound in-sync with each other at the same time. The main reason that she'd chosen these particular girls was because of their well-trained voices that would match perfectly with one another.

And just as she had expected, their voices really did harmonize. At the starting point of the song, they were a tad bit off-key with each other, but that gradually began to fade as they continued to accustom themselves with the song as well as each other in the process. With every note and every tone, they unconsciously evolved and connected until their harmonized voices sounded like a heavenly drop in a warm summer day.

"I knew I made the right choice" Ice mumbled to herself with a confident grin. Hearing that positive comment, Lee smiled as he continued to watch their angel-like performance.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"I think we did pretty good" Belle said as she and Sonia once again walked through the studio halls.

"My thoughts exactly. I was kinda nervous at first, but we managed to pull it off" And she was right. After that little 'test', Ice quickly decided to register them under her wing. Not only that, but they'd get a chance to start on a new song right away; pressuming she had very high hopes for them.

"Hey sonia," The brunette began, holding up a small box wrapped with purple cloth. "I'm just gonna give this lunch to my brother. Could you come with me?"

"Sure, I'll go with you," She replied, "Did you make that yourself?" Sonia asked and was replied with a happy nod from her companion.

"Yup, I sure did. I've still got a long way to go, but I think I can make pretty decent meals"

At first, Sonia wasn't so keen on cooking and all that jazz, but something that Lee had said afterwards really opened up her mind to it like a new book. He said, "Cooking really tastes better when it's made by someone important to you. It just makes it all the more worthwhile." That phrase was enough to spark up every cell in her body.

"Something on your mind, Sonia?" Lyra asked from her comfortable space inside the MP-Hunter.

"N-No, it's nothing..." She shyly replied, but that negativity wouldn't last much longer for there were a certain group of people just outside the doors that would change her mind in a snap.

Looking behind her, Sonia spotted a security wizard approaching. "Ms. Strumm" It began, "There's three people outside that're saying they're friends of yours. One of them had porcupine-like hair, another was a blonde girl who seemed really demanding...and the last one seemed like he was really going to kill me if I didn't let them in..."

Using those rather colorful descriptions, Sonia realized who it was that had been waiting for her. But, she couldn't really be sure about the last person said. She had a good hunch, but she knew he wasn't the type to go to a place like a studio of all places...

Or maybe, he was. "Geo! Luna! And...Solo?! What are you guys doing here? But more importantly...what's Solo doing all the way out here?"

"Well..." The red clad, spiky haired teen started, "As for me and Luna, Lyra sent us a message that you were here so we decided to stop by. As for Solo...let's just say we 'ran' into him along the way"

Mega bluntly butted in, "Yeah, you shoulda' seen it. It was hilarious! Getting over here, the wave liner had a few problems and had to stop, so we had to hike it over here wave style. Along the way, we ran into a few viruses and one of them actually got a hit on Luna. She was so ticked off that she threw the thing into a tree like a friggin' bouldoser. The impact was so hard that it made the tree shake like crazy, suddenly dropping Mr. Silent over here like a sack of potatoes. If that's not coincidence then I don't know what is!"

As much as Sonia wanted to elaborate her thoughts on that very strange and unlikely incident, her current chain of thought was just too focused on what she'd encountered earlier.

"I-I see...that's...very weird. Anyway, could you guys come with me for a sec?" She asked, making Geo raise a confused eyebrow.

"Huh? To where-" But before he could finish, an arm suddenly grabbed his own and dragged him along the shiny concrete, the other two following behind in a similar confused state.

At the staff kitchen, Geo and co., with the exception of Sonia, were gathered around a circular table. Since the staff members were on break, the kitchen was more or less unoccupied right now, giving the pop-star the chance she needed.

Belle was present too, and after Sonia had given a brief introduction of her friends, The music-loving teen had quickly run off to the inner area of the room.

"So...why are we here again?" Belle asked as they patiently waited for whatever was coming to them.

Luna responded, "Sonia said she wanted to cook something for us...I think"

"Oh, really?" Belle said, slightly surprised at what she'd heard. "I didn't know Sonia could cook"

And at that particular second, everyone else had gone as silent as a mute. They just didn't know why they'd never thought that maybe Sonia had a thing for cooking. She was just so clipped onto music that it hit them like a bullet going at such a high speed, they wouldn't even notice it.

"She can cook right...?" Solo silently mumbled, but no one could answer. Not until they'd actually taste her cooking anyway.

Finally breaking their stunned silence, Sonia finally revealed herself from a sliding door, holding a medium-sized silver bowl using a pair of mittens. Taking the bowl's lid off, a sort of soup dish was laid out on the table. It was slightly brown in color and contained slices of various meats. You could tell that the food was still warm from the rising heat coming from it.

"Wow...I-It actually looks kinda good" Luna muttered as she stared at the surprisingly appealing dish. However, it didn't seem to have much of a smell, but Solo was the only one who actually realized it since he was probably the only one that wasn't seduced by its outer appearance.

Getting seperate bowls for themselves, each poured a small portion of the soup into the containers. As soon as Geo had gotten his, he immediately started stirring the soup as he blew it to release some of the emanating heat.

"Well, here goes" And finally taking a spoon, the boy slowly scooped up some of the liquid dish and put it in his mouth. It took a couple of seconds for his sense of taste to finally do its work. And with a facial expression that looked like his soul had been taken away from him, he'd finally realized...

"It's...completely...repulsive..." He mumbled as his taste buds continued to reject it with all their might. It wasn't only bad, but it was also very random with different textures with every bite. It was nutty, and gritty, and slimy, and a lot of other things in between. It was almost impossible to have all of those textures in one simple soup.

Looking over at the two girls, Geo could see that they weren't having such a blast either. From their faces alone, it was crystal clear to see. Taking a look at Solo, however, Geo felt a rush of irritation hit him as the white haired boy stared back with a smugged grin and eyes that looked like he'd cheated death itself.

"H-HE JUST PRETENDED TO EAT IT!!" In truth, Solo was the most clever one of all. It just goes to show that you can't trust everything by its looks. In the jungle habitat, prey are even killed that way.

"It...doesn't taste good, does it...?" Sonia concluded, judging from their 'poisoned' looks. Geo wanted to scream a 'yes' with all his might, but he just couldn't bring himself to; Not in front of Sonia. And the same went for everyone else.

But thankfully, Sonia didn't seem to mind. She actually even chuckled at noticing how everyone was trying to be so nice to her. "It's okay, everyone. I know it's bad. I just wanted to see if all of you thought the same thing"

"What?!" Luna yelled as she gazed upon her smiling face, "You knew it was bad and you still gave it to us?!"

"Well...yeah, sorry about that. But it's just that i heard someone say that cooking always tastes better when it's made by someone important to you. I kinda wanted to test that. But, I guess you need to have the proper experience first" The cheerful girl said as she rubbed the back of her head in embarrasment.

In truth, it wasn't the first time that Geo had heard that phrase. In his lifetime, there was also one more person that'd said that: his mom. He remembered that, and a small smile slowly made its way unto his face.

"Well, you're right about that" He started, "it always does taste better when it's made by someone important to you. And I'm sure with a little bit of practice...you can cook up a feast that everyone, not just those important to you, will be able to enjoy. Hey, I think Bud would be the first one to gulp it down in a second"

"Yeah, I second that" Luna added, "And I know a thing or two about cooking so I think I can lend you a hand"

Belle added as well, "Count me in too! We're partners after all!"

And upon hearing their words, Sonia couldn't help but smile as wide as she could. "Thanks, everyone! I really mean it!"

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

But at the brink of the group's happy discussion, tragedy was there to strike once again, this time in the form of a ground trembling explosion that was loud enough to echo throughout the entire large district.

"What the hell was that?!" Mega cried out in shock. Right after everyone had stood from their seats, a deep voice transmitted itself from the numerous megaphones attached to every area of the building. Even before it could say anything, everyone could already tell that it wasn't going to your average, everyday announcment.

'ATTENTION, THE EAST BLOCK IS CURRENTLY UNDER FLAMES. WE REQUEST ALL PERSONNEL AND CITIZENS TO QUICKLY EVACUATE THE PREMISES IMMEDIATELY. I REPEAT'

Not wasting even a single drop of time to listen to the voice's repetition, Geo's reflexes immediately ordered him to move his feet and follow his senses to where the explosion had occured. Events like these never meant a system malfunction. Technology these days was just too advanced to cause errors such as those.

As everyone else hurried along, Geo didn't stop to ask for directions. His instincts were just too strong for these things already, allowing him to unconsciously sense where the danger was. He didn't know how, but he just did.

And finally, they'd arrived. But the sight wasn't pretty at all. Just as the announcement had earlier said, the entire area was covered in flames. Everything material and wave alike were set aflame. Quickly turning into Rockman, the blue bomber got to work as fast as he could. He wanted to know the cause, but it would be better to eliminate the threat first.

"We gotta clear the fire out!" He ordered, taking out all the water battle cards he had and inserting them as quickly as he'd fire them. Solo, Luna, and Sonia had also transformed into their wave states and did everything they could to help out, leaving a surprised Belle in complete awe.

"No way...I can't believe he's Rockman. I'm actually seeing him right in front of me!"

Because she had been distracted by her current thoughts, she'd failed to spot a large piece of debris until it was inches away from her body.

"Watch out!" Harpnote shouted, creating a barrier that broke the falling rock in two when it collided with the solid shield. "Belle, I know this is all sudden, but you have to get out of here now! And please, don't tell anyone about what you're seeing. Promise me, ok?"

Finally coming to her senses, Belle stared at her partner for a moment before finally nodding in confirmation. "Ok...I promise. But promise me you won't do anything too dangerous!"

"Yeah, I promise" Harpnote smiled, "Now, just leave this to us. We'll take care of it!"

And after seeing the violet clad girl run off, Harpnote continued her duty along with her other companions. Normally, the flame would have died out by now, but something seemed too different. The flames were just too strong and they continued to grow more and more.

What's more, the cause of the flames was just around the corner. Thinking fast, Solo revealed his large broad sword and used it as a shield to block and incoming slash, jumping left afterwards to avoid yet another sword, both of which seemed very familiar due to their size and engravement.

"Rage..." The murian mumbled, alerting his friends of the enemy. Surely enough, the hot-blooded, dual wielding warrior known as Rage was now in front of them. Beside him was a person who was still unknown to the group. His armor had a mix of black and orange colors and he sported a few wings which allowed him to fly in mid-air,

"Hmph, so this is them? They don't look so tough..." The mystery man bluntly said.

"Believe me. They only look weak, but they're pretty entertaining actually. Make just one clumsy move and you sign your own death sentence"

"Is that so? Hmm...so which one's the strongest?"

"Well...it's hard to choose between those two over there" Rage muttered, pointing over at Rockman and Rogue, "But that black one's mine. I've got a bone to pick with him so you can get the blue one. But anyway, I don't think either of the two can step up to my level"

"If that's the case, then my sister would wipe the floor with them because I'm sure she could do the same with you"

"You tryin' to start something? Geez, I dunno why I had to be partnered up with you. My bro would do a much better job"

"My sis would whoop your bro in seconds" The mystery man insulted

"Why don't I whoop you right now, huh?" Rage fired back.

As Harpnote swayed her eyes back and forth, she'd realized, "These guys have serious compatibility issues..."

But to break all the tension between the two debaters, Solo immediately jumped from the first floor unto the third where his prey was at, clashing once again without a moment of thinking. Seeing that he would need assistance, Rockman followed after telling the two girls to continue killing the flames out.

In a split second, the ceiling had crumbled from the sheer damage the battle was causing, leaving the combatants to fight it out on the wave roads.

"Wow, you're still as fiesty as ever!" Rage said, but Rogue chose to not even respond to that in words. Instead, he charged up his violet arm and smashed it on the ground, creating a massive tidal wave of deadly energy which could even swallow up 6 floors of a building.

"Hmph, I like it!" Smashing both blades unto the ground, Rage created his own tidal wave of flames. As soon as the two entities had collided, a blinding light was created, shortly followed by the vicious blasting sound which was expected of an attack of that magnitude.

Not even stopping to observe the light show, Rogue revealed himself from the shadows and quickly snuck up on his enemy, leaving an entertained Rage to clash swords once again. After a flurry of slashes and clashing steel, the two fighters mashed their blades together one last time, slowly scraping metal right off as well as sparks that flew from them. After a few seconds of their competition of strength, the two were forcefully pushed a few ways back by their equal amount of force.

Rage laughed, "Hey, hey, hey, you're getting pretty good! Come on, show me some more of your power!"

As Solo's irritation began to deepen, his will to complete obliterate his foe deepened as well. If he could just use that form he'd used to destroy the earlier meteor, he'd wipe him out in about 5 seconds give or take. Unfortunately, he couldn't change back into that powerful form, but he still had another trick up his sleeve; one that he'd been saving for a rainy day.

"You want me to show you more?" Rogue threatingly grinned, "Fine...but don't blame me if I cut you in pieces..."

With a killing intent in his eyes, Rogue lifted his broadsword with both hands high up in the air. "Laplace...blade of despair..." He silently ordered, his EM arm now flowing its energy unto the blade, reshapping it little by little in his image. As he did, Rage watched contently as the sword was dyed the blackest color imaginable. It's edges were growing sharper and the weapon itself now looked like it was forged in the depths of hell itself.

After slowly bringing the sword back into his grasp, the Murian silently said, "Now...I'll show you what fear is..."

Over at Rockman's side, the battle was more or less an even split with neither one of them gaining the upper hand.

"Charge Shot!" Rockman cried out as a gigantic pink laser was fired at the winged opponent. Using his ability of flight, the mystery man quickly avoided the attack, countering with a pair of blades he'd formed with a few of his wings. After doing so, he threw them like boomerangs directly at Rockman, causing the blue bomber to deflect them with a few well aimed buster shots.

"Hey..." Rockman began, "Why don't you tell me who you are? Most of the people that tried to kill me would at least do that much"

The winged teen paused for a moment, but gave in to the simple request in the end. "It's Jack...happy now?"

"No, not really" He replied, "I still wanna know why you guys are with a group like Celestia. Based on my experience...they're pretty much insane"

"Hmph, think what you want. I've got my own reasons for doing what I do!" The teen known as Jack finally put an end to their conversation by throwing even more blades from his wings, this time five times more numerous.

Mega alerted, "Grr...this guy just won't give up. Look out, kid!" But he didn't even have to say that for the wave human already knew what was coming at him. Summoning a sword arm, he quickly knocked a couple of blades out of the air before ducking two more and hitting them as well. To rid himself of the rest, the teen took out an airspread and fired wide bursts to take them all out.

"This Rockman's really becoming a pain. How long do those two have to keep us waiting?" Jack thought to himself right before a sudden beep emanated from his MP-Hunter. Answering the call, a virtual screen popped up, showing a girl of about 20 years of age, dark blue hair, and silent red eyes.

"This is Tia. Jack, we've located another one of them. After collecting the data from that last one, we detected another one coming from the studio. You are to stop collecting battle data and immediately head to the site"

And speaking of the studio, Harpnote and Luna were just about finish with their job. Sure the threat of the fire was now under control, but they had no idea of yet another threat that loomed over them. That was, until it finally revealed itself.

Just after eliminating the last of the flames, Harpnote suddenly spotted a yellow liquid-like substance right below Luna's feet. Immediately, she recognized it as the same monster they'd fought back at the satella police HQ.

"Luna, watch out!" She yelled, but it was too late. As soon as the blonde girl realized it, the yellow being had already engulfed her whole body in slim, yellow waves before she could even scream.

Harpnote called out once again, "L-Luna!" Although her companion could no longer respond. She was now being controlled like a mere puppet as the monster was now its master. It wasn't only her body, but her eyes were also glowing a bright yellow color.

Now berserked and rampaged, the controlled Luna let out a furious groan as she summoned a large number of floating eyeballs and ordered every single one of them to fire red beams at the helpless harpnote, causing her to scream at the top of her lungs before hitting the ground, paralyzed.

"Sonia!" Lyra worriedly said, "Sonia, are you okay?! Sonia?!"

But she couldn't respond for she was already using all of her energy just to stay awake. In truth, it wasn't only that last attack that had pained her, but also a sharp pain that had suddenly occured in her head. As her vision started to blur due to pain, it still managed to focus itself on the berserk Luna. Harpnote desperately wanted to save her but she was too weak, and she blamed herself wholeheartedly for that fact.

I...have to...help...her..."

And finally, everything went black. She could no longer see anything except the black empty space known as darkness. She couldn't see, however, she could still hear. And right now, her sense of hearing enabled her to hear a voice. It was deep and very soft, nonetheless, still a voice.

"DO YOU WISH TO PROTECT?" It said

"Wh-What...? Who...are you..." She weakly replied.

"DO YOU WISH FOR POWER?"

"I...I don't know..."

"THEN WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WISH FOR?"

"I...just want to help...my friend..."

"I SEE...THEN I SHALL GRANT YOU YOUR WISH"

"You'll...grant...my wish...?"

"THAT IS CORRECT. FROM NOW ON, I GIVE YOU THE POWER WORTHY OF THE TITLE...'HEART'"

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Geo: And that about wraps it up for the third chapter!

Sonia: Aww...already? And we were just getting to the good part...

Geo: Well, that's just how it goes

Sonia: Fine...anyway, here's the term of the week...

Geo: You don't have to be so depressed about it...

Filename: Solo
A descendant of the lineage of Mu. Years ago, he'd fought against Geo and co. but eventually joined them to put a stop to what had been threatening and disgracing his race. During his battles with Celestia, he'd encountered Rage a number of times and had formed a sort of rivalry with him. Aurora, who is also a member of Celestia, seems to have a connection to him as she had told him that she was a priestess of Mu. His EM partner is known as Laplace and In his wave form, he is known as Rogue and holds destructive power deep within his violet EM infused arm. He has a rather silent personality and doesn't really talk much about himself.

Sonia: You know...he still kinda scares me sometimes...

Geo: You and me both

Filename: Enigma waves (From shooting star rockman Celestia: First wave)
A type of powerful wave energy that lies deep inside of Geo's body. It was confirmed that because of this, Rockman is able to fuse different kinds of waves with his own structure, however, it is still unknown about its negative effects. Aaron Boreal cautioned that it could even lead to Rockman going berserk.

Filename: Celestia
A group that Geo and co. continues to fight against. In the long forgotten past, it was actually a group from a different planet that vowed to protect that planet with their body and soul. Unfortunately, that planet no longer exists and so does the former Celestia. A few years before, this new Celestia actually contributed to the good of planet FM by capturing various criminals and terrorists, but has now changed sides and has been performing with no concern for the well-being of others. They have recently teamed up with another group called 'Dealer'.

The hero also known as Rockman. Over the years, he and his AM-ian partner, Omega-xis, have continuously thwarted the dangers that have faced them. A special type of wave energy called "Enigma Waves" lie deep inside his body and currently, both he and Solo hold the power of the "Aces" which proved to exemplify destructive power never seen before. His form is the "White Ace" which specializes in long-range attacks, as his counterpart, the "Black Ace" specializes in melee skills.

Sonia: And now we move onto the words of the week!

Geo: Please take a look at the virtual screen behind us

*Drum roll as words flash up on the screen*

*The words come up as "Farewell" "Enigma waves" and "Cancer"

Geo: Okay...I have exactly no clue what that's supposed to mean

Sonia: Grr, these words are just so unfair! *Kicks the monitor, causing it to malfunction*

Geo: H-Hey, what're you doing?!

Sonia: I-I didn't mean to actually break it! Oh man, oh man, what do I do?!?!

Geo: U-Until next time, folks, see you! Sonia, you're breaking it even more!!
