AN: HEY, well im kind of bored of my other story so I decided to update this one. Now here is the OC I mentioned. I can't find another way of describing him so im doing one of the 7 fanfic sins. Building character in an AN. By the way im adding Sora to the pairing, sorry but I just compleatly love what I have in store for the two and I can work it into the plot very easy.
Name:Lyric
Race:Self exiled FM-Ian
Description: The shape of a Kudomon. With the head being a solid metal helmet with two slits for eyes. The Body composed of the EM-Waves all EM-beings have. He has two disks on his helmet that project out EM-Waves, and another two that are slighly larger 1/3 of the way down his body. At the end of the body is a tail that has a spike hovering in front of it, and a floating ring orbiting the tail itself.
He is a very resolute person, always looking for a challenge and is ambitious. He is in a similar situation as Harry but couldent care less about his parents. His only friend was Omega-xis and they did most things together.
Lyric was happy.
Seriously, if someone looked up 'understatement' in the dictionary at that point in time that sentence would plastered all over the entry. The boy had finally left the annoying invisible wall! All of a sudden Lyric could detect the boy with wavelengths 97% similar to his across the planet. But that wasent a problem, because Lyric...Wasent exactly human. He was infact; an FM-Ian.
Flashback
Lyric sighed from his room in his family home on planet FM. His parents were still doting over his sister's mediocre report card from preparation battle school, while his was 3rd in the class: right behind Gemini and his friend Omega-xis. Lyric sighed, he wasent sure how longer he could stand being neglected by his parents.
It wasent that he resented his sister, but he just couldent help but hate his parent's. His sister Lyra was constantly pushed away from him and he couldent blame a young, impressional mind for the instructions of his parents.
Lyric had no idea why his parent's seemed to hate him. There was never time where his parents were anything more than uncomfortable with him. There was once a time where he would do anything just for their approval, but eventually he just gave up. He would stop leaving his rather impressive report cards on the dinner table and wouldent stay longer after dinner.
Gathering hismental state Lyric decided he had enough, there had to be more to life than being a soldier for the FM King! Writting a note for his only friend Omega-xis, only detailing that he was leaving and that he shouldent follow him. Lyric went up to the hill where he discovered his love of music, the sweet tones drifting around him like his head was in a cloud of serenity.
He prepared himself for the jump out of orbit, ready to tackle the heat that FM's little atmosphere could generate. He said one last goodbye to the planet that housed him, and rocketed up and out of the planet in seconds. He never noticed his little sister standing a while back, tears in her eyes and guilt racking her mind.
Fast Forward
Lyric had been drifting in space endlessly. His mind in shambles from the lack of music, trying to scrap together some form of melody. When one day he had heard a faint tone, he nearly passed it of as his mind going completly insane untill he saw threads of light reaching out from his chest toward the noise.
Taking greater intrest Lyric moved swiftly towards the noise, eager to learn what the melody came from. Eventually he had come across a planet of green and blue, its soft tones glowing in the void of space, a rock of life in a barren desert of nothingness. He went down to the pinpoint of where the mystery melody was. But was angered and annoyed at the barrier preventing him from finding the source of his intrest. Until he saw a boy at a window, Lyric knew that these creatures were called humans by the local Hertz. The boy was pale and skinny, definatly not a fighter. Yet he held a device in his hands, and as the boy strummed at the device Lyric could instantly tell. This was the boy who shared his wavelengths.
On Planet FM
Lyra was incredibly saddened by the loss of her brother. She knew that he was something of a loner and she was discouraged by her parents from talking to him, and look where that got her, brotherless and mediocre grades. She knew that she had no right to blame everything on her parents, but she couldent help but feel resentment. After the news of Lyric leaving hit their ears they actually cheered, the gall of them!
Lyra decided to buckle down and work harder in class. She was once popular but fell from said popularity as she poured herself into making herself something her brother would be proud of. Lyra had even struck up a tentative frienship with Omega-xis, who was also disheartened and bitter over Lyric's departure. They were by no means close but they shared a few moments together, Omega-xis would even tell her stories of his and Lyrics escapades. They always made her feel closer to her brother and hung onto every word.
And back to the bloody story
Lyric was starting to rethink his actions. It appeared that his rather...Explosive entry had knocked his soon-to-be partner unconsious. Snapping out of his musings he took a look at his surroundings. He appeared to be in a Cyber Comp with a large screen in the air displaying his unconcious partner. Deciding to wake the boy Lyric looked for anything that could make lots of noise. After a while he saw a console with a large music note on it, walking up to it he pressed the button and all of a sudden strange symbols in rows popped up on the screen.
Touching one of the rows he heard a chime, and one instant later a softly played string of violin notes started playing. Lyric was instantly entranced, these melodies were absolute perfection to his ears. Eventually the violin was accompanied by a electric guitar and softly spoken lyrics.
I said I don't mind, but you've touched a nerve
The way you frame it, well I got all I deserved...
(Red Queen, Area 11. Check these guys out they absolutly rock in the electronic rock genre.)
As Lyric was admireing the song Harry started to stir. He was dazed and wanted to assess the damage the light had done and any possible threats, just like the book Grandpa had bought him. As he cleared his head and saw that he was still perched on the tree branch, he looked at his guitar. It was warped and changed into a more ethereal style, with the nylon strings lighted up in purple and blue hues and the body formed into a feathered pattern. Somehow his song 'Red Queen' was playing, taking a look at the screen of the Transer, he jumped in shock. Making sure that he saw right Harry took a closer look and confirmed what he saw, some kind of magical snake-like creature was inhabiting his Transer and listening to his music.
Remembering the lessons Grandpa had given him on greeting people, Harry quietly cleared his throat and steeled his nerves. "Excuse me, but who are you?" Harry said making sure to ask who instead of what.
Snapping out of his reverie Lyric looked back up at the screen to see that Harry had awoken and was looking at him in wonder and apprehension. Lyric decided to give him an explanation that would work for a goldfish. "Well then, my name is Lyric. I am an FM-Ian, a being made out of EM-waves. Due to our wavelengths being similar a connection of sorts was formed between us. The only way this could have happened is if we were very similar, so I decided to come and hang with you for a bit. And check out more of your music, that one I chose earlyer was awesome."
After this explanation Harry was left with more questions than to begin with, but decided to roll with it until he could consult Grandpa. "Well then Lyric, my name is Harry. I'm fine with you staying a while, but I have some rules. First is that you don't reveal yourself to anybody I don't give the O.K to. Second is that you don't cause too many disturbances. And Third is that you teach me more about your culture."
Lyric found nothing wrong with these rules and agreed. After a bit more talking Harry noticed a flake of snow fall on his nose. Lyric noticed Harry's distraction and asked,"Hey, what's up?"
Harry replied. "Well, snow is supposed to only fall in the winter months, which are ages away, and being in Japan which is very sunny it isent like we are on the Alps."
Getting a bit of what Harry said Lyric asked Harry, "Hey, could I go have a look?"
Not seeing any problem with it Harry told Lyric. "Hey, none of that, you're a friend not a pet. Do what you want unless it conflicts with the rules."
Smiling at Harry Lyric jumped out of the Transer and went up high. He could see a big cloud of digital interferance and snow incoming. Knowing that these were not commonplace Lyric jumped back into Harry's Transer.
"Ok, Harry you need to get inside. There is a snowstorm coming and lots of digital interferance is coming with it." Lyric said with only a slight hint of worry.
Nodding Harry put his guitar on his back and slid down the tree. He jogged back to the mess hall where Aaron was talking to the caterers. Harry said in a slightly out of breath voice."Sir, there is a snowstorm incoming. I was up a tree and saw it about a mile off, don't believe me go and see it yourself."
Aaron was a very open-minded person from working in WAZA and his non-summer job running AMAKEN. But this seemed very outlandish, but he saw the honesty in Harry's eyes and decided to take a look for himself. Walking over to the tree Harry used and hoisting himself up, he saw that indeed a storm of some description was on its way.
Running back to the mess hall where Harry was sitting, he quickly told Harry what he needed to do. "Ok Harry, here are the key's to the huts. Can I trust you to make sure everyone is accounted for, and not to rummage in others possessions? I need to go to the tree where most of the other kids are and get them inside."
Nodding and taking little offence to the insinuation that he might steal Harry rushed out to the livng hut area. Going in each and closing all the windows and locking all the doors, Harry heard slight sobbing from the last hut he needed to check. Knocking he opened the door to see Sora lying down on her bed facing the wall. Speaking up in a soft voice Harry asked, "Hey Sora? You OK?"
Getting up Sora launched herself at Harry hugging him while crying. Only just keeping his balance Harry rubbed her back while rocking her back and forth. After a minute Sora's sobs had reduced to quiet sniffling and Harry decided to speak up. "What's up Sora? I won't push you but I would like to help."
Sora mumbled, "Mimi and Rose started calling me names, they called me a loser for sitting next to you."
Growling slightly Harry squeezed Sora one last time before telling her what he was doing there."Well we'll just have to get them back, but for now we need to get to the mess hall. I spotted a snowstorm and told Mr Boreal about it, he checked and ordered everyone to get back to safety; help me close the windows here? This is the last hut I was told to check."
Smiling again the two went and closed all the windows on the hut before going outside and locking it. The wind had picked up and they hurried back to the mess hall with Lyric looking on at the proceedings curiously, is that how humans socialized? Not wrapping his head around the concept he went back into the Transer so he dident need to hover anymore.
The two reached the mess hall to the chattering of the other children. Aaron walked over to the two and asked."You two ok? The storm is about to hit and we wre worried about you Sora, what were you doing at the cabins?"
Smiling shyly Sora was about to give the truthful answer no matter how much she would be embarrased by it before Harry swooped in once again. "Don't worry Sir, Sora forgot her MP3 Player and went back to get it when I told you about the storm."
Taking the explanation as the honest answer Aaron walked back to the caterers to see about hot chocolate. Sora went over to an empty table and was waiting for Harry to join her. He smiled in her direction while once more deactivating her language rune, all of a sudden she became the laughing stock of her new group of cronies while she death-glared Harry. He looked back with much more intensity and subtly jerked his thumb in Sora's direction.
Turning back to Sora he sat down and asked about her life at home. She informed that her mother worked as a florist and she helped out frequently. She asked him about his home life in turn and he responded that his father was a policeman, he also said that he and his sister dident have the best relations.
Their conversations continued like so for two hours. They had to relocate because Aaron decided to move the tables out the way so the other children could run around and not get too restless. Eventually Harry just pulled his guitar and started to lightly strum, nobody noticed over the commotion of the others games but Sora was entranced. Harry was experimenting with a purely guitar version of his song 'Panacea and the Prelogue'
Eventually he gave up seeing as there was no way to make it work before noticing that Sora was watching him. Blushing slightly he asked "Sorry, I can stop if you want."
Quickly saying no Sora asked if he had any other songs he could do. Smirking Harry asked."Name your Genre."
Thinking a bit Sora responded,"Lovesong" While blushing slightly.
Smiling Harry set up his Transer to play everything but the vocals and guitar to 'Shi No Barado'. After hearing the name Sora was instantly interested.
Starting to strum Harry quickly fell into rythm with the backing track and started to sing softly.
I saw your face in the LEDs
My revenge was your gift to me...
(Once again Shi no Barado by Area 11, The song last chapter was The Life of a Ghost.)
By the time he had finished Sora was slumbering softly on his shoulder, they had only met that day yet they had quite the connection already. He set his guitar aside and kicked back until dinner was ready.
Time skip
Eventually the tables had been returned to their original place and Aaron called everyone to dinner. All the other kids leapt to their feet and crowded around the serving table. Aaron laughed and then noticed Harry gently waking Sora, the two really were cute. Harry caught his eye and he smiled as Harry blushed at being caught in the slightly compromising position.
Eventually Sora had woken up as the 'queue' for dinner had thinned. The two walked up with Harry describing what 'Shi no Barado' had come from. They picked up their food, with Harry getting a cooked fish with a little salad while Sora went for roast chicken and assorted cooked vegtables. They walked back to their lonesome table laughing and joking all the way, Aaron smiled in the two's direction and wondered why the rest of the kids couldent be so mature. Sure he liked a bit of mischeviousness but this was trying his patience, he had long ago stopped trying the children to take some vegtables and sat back to eat his own dinner of tempura.
Eventually dinner had been finished and Harry had given power back to the language rune. Once the children had finally calmed down Aaron went to the front of the hall to address the children."Okay everybody, the storm has let up for now. My assistant Tom has gone out and unlocked everybodies huts. Okay, now everyone to bed, and lights out after 10PM!"
After that everybody filed out into the cold wind. The snow had fallen but it was too dark to admre it at that point. As they were walking back Sora tucked herself into Harry's side, mumbling about it being cold. Harry just smiled and put his arm around her shoulder heating her a bit more. Eventually they reached the huts and Harry had to excuse himself from Sora for a bit, she whined but let him go.
Harry walked over to his sister and said in a voice that promised pain, "Come with me Rose, should you chose to co-operate this will only take a minute."
Sneering Rose went with Harry to a nearby bench, Harry spoke in a very serious tone. "Now then, don't forget that I control your ability to communicate with your cronies. Should you even think about hurting Sora in any way I know many tricks to make you pay, and not just with your ability to speak Japanese."
Suitably cowed Rose hurried back to the safty of her group while Harry walked back over to Sora. She asked what he was doing and he just replied, "Well, I can't exactly have my fair lady in the company of those untamed dogs. I was simply...Defanging my biological relative so to speak."
Giggleing melodiously Sora thanked him and quickly kissed his cheek before running of towards her hut: Blushing furiously. Harry was standing there with his fingers tracing the place she kissed him, soon he gathered his thoughts and trudged up to his hut that he was sharing with Matt and T.K
