• MEGAMAN HEROES

    Chapter 10- The secret

    *After the crisis about involving the Dalek, John was just sitting in the lounge of the Flutter just doing nothing but think about stuff, and he looked a bit disappointed and more concerned about other things. Fenfir entered the lounge.*

    Fenfir= Hey John, oh c'mon man lighten up. You should be happy.

    John= I .... just don't get it? Why did that idiot Dr. Wily follow me here? Chasing me for what I did? Capturing that Dalek, putting my friends in danger?

    Fenfir= Anyway's you been too quiet for 2 hours.

    Leviathan= John, were almost at the resistance base. Ciel's associates will be expecting us to arrive shortly.

    John= I haven't been feeling too good lately.

    Leviathan= Fenfir is right, you should cheer up. Fenfir, I tell you what, why not let me stay with him this time?

    Fenfir= Awhhhhh, alright.

    Roll (intercom)= We just arrived at the resistance base, were about to land so prepare to disembark.

    John= I been here once before.

    Leviathan= John, let's go.

    *The Flutter slowly landed on the landing zone of the resistance base, but the base looked like it was being reconstructed and rehalled. The reploid resistance team members had different uniforms now and John noticed that they were building a huge garage for constructing an airship. John began to brighten up a bit. t least to be happy to see some life in a few people. John, Ciel, Roll, and the 4 guardians walked down the ramp and outside the Flutter and John was surprised to see Mayors Biggs and Lucus waiting outside.*

    Colbor= Look, the flutter has arrived.

    Faucon= Good. And the guardians are with them as well.

    Menart= I can't wait to meet that new guardian guy, I heard he can change forms.

    Colbor= Calm down Menart. You will get to greet the guardians.

    John= It's quite good to be back, but it looks like everyone is in new uniforms now.

    Leviathan= There submitting to the guardians. We received word from them when you were asleep.

    John= It seems.

    Harpuia= And to menson that I said some mean words the last time I was here, when......he....was alive. I once hated this place.

    John= Harpy what's wrong?

    Fenfir= Don't worry about it John. Just some minor blunt memories, he'll pull through.

    ************************Harpuia's flashback**********************
    (music slows to complete silence)

    Zero= Can you stand up already? Wow, Harpuia, you're hard to keep down...

    *Zero walks a bit closer to Harpuia.*

    Harpuia= What are you up to? Why did you rescue me? Do you expect some favor in return?

    Zero= Perhaps.

    *Cerveau enters the scene.*

    Cerveau= Oh, you're awake. How do you feel?

    Harpuia= Horrible. Just the thought of being helped by you makes me nauseous. Stripped of my position, and driven out of Neo Arcadia. I'm used goods...

    Cerveau= That's not true. You just stood up for your beliefs, just like we do. You've made no mistakes.

    Harpuia= My beliefs... I can't sit back any longer... We must protect the humans from Weil. We have to stop him immediately. That... that...Weil!!!

    Cerveau= Wait! Your wounds are not fully healed yet!

    Harpuia= I am a warrior, born to protect humans. I am a proud warrior of Neo Arcadia! I don't need any help! Even if my body should fall into ruin... I will still gladly fight for humanity!

    **************************flashback ends************************

    (music returns to Prismatic)

    John= Harpy, are you ok?

    Harpuia= ......., It's ,......, It's nothing. Im fine.

    Leviathan= John, you should leave Harpuia alone right now.

    John= He didn't look too well.

    Leviathan= Trust me, it's best to not talk to him now.

    Biggs= Oh, John. Glad you could make it.

    Lucus= John, so nice to see you again. I thought you turned reckless again.

    John= Trust me, it's all cool. The Dalek, ... don't worry, he's gone.

    Biggs= You destroyed it?

    Fenfir= Well, no, actually there was no fight, even though "I was" looking forward for it.

    Leviathan= FENFIR!

    Biggs= Don't worry about it Miss Leviathan. Oh, John, I heard you finally got a whole set of guardian biometals.

    Lucus= Im surprised you managed to get collect so many.

    John= I never expected it either. Perhaps if I train myself in them daily, I can see what I can do to get used to a few.

    Doigt= Oh, John. Good to see you. I helped Cerveau and Allouette bring the Tardis here. We found the problem why your companions were being separated into different era's. Some of the few old and cracked surfaces of some components we can't explain, we used those alien tools to fix them. I have no idea how you got a hold of this device but it worked, but there's no guarantee on how it will work.

    John= That's fine. I can just teleport around this world with it for now. It may get to some places where the flutter can't.

    Ciel= Ok, John. Were gathering in the main computer room. Follow me everyone.

    *Everybody began to follow Ciel inside the building and all gathered in the main conference hall.*

    (music changes to- Noah's park/ Megaman X 8 )Download

    Ciel= Mr. Biggs from West Abagale city has came up with some results relating to these raids including the attacks in the city, guardian HQ, and attacking the air pirates the Bonnes. Let's hear his theory and what we all have found.

    Biggs= Thank you Miss Ciel. According to our intelligence agents, they have did some scouting and discovered that there is a flying island traveling around the world. It appeared that the island is being levitated by both levitation devices and is still traveling as we speak. They also talk about another scorce of maverick activity and said they spotted a center identical to Neo Arcadia except for a fortress in the middle that appeared to have a fortress with a huge skull in the middle of it.

    John= Dr. Wily! He must needed that Dalek for his plans to build something to add to that new Neo Arcadia, there copying poor Ciel!

    Roll= John! Shhhhhhh! Let him finish.

    Biggs= Our agents also have been investigating the raids in the mountains and they have reports that the mavericks are searching for the secret of Abagale itself. They may be on to our most precious monument's secret. But that may be a possibility but it's not official, But one thing is for sure, they must be trying to mark Abagale as a new place to land their own Neo Arcadia and dictate our way of life. Abagale has been dictator and iron fist free and we will extend that peace and we will not surrender. We will extend this to these men responsible for these horrible actions. Those men are Dr. Wily and Dalton.

    Ciel= Thank you Mr. Biggs, we will also inform that they may be more attacks of clones resembling any ally or any partner we relate with as it happened with John being forced to fight 4 mavericks resembling our very own 4 guardians. As such, we will no longer be only in one place anymore. We will extend our duty to maintain peace and help keep the world free from separatists and terrorism. We the resistance and the Guardian forces from Abagale will now unite together and we will be known now as "The new Guardians".

    *A flag behind the stage folds down with a red letter"G" with 2 yellow objects beside it. Then a roar of applause surrounds the entire auditorium.*

    John= Great speech Ciel! Great you too Biggs!

    *John was not clapping. he was holding a lighter and pointing it up as if he was at a rock concert.*

    Leviathan= JOHN! Put away that lighter!

    John= Clapping makes my hands hurt.

    Leviathan= Oh god, give me that.

    *She takes the lighter away from John*

    John(muttering) = yes, mommy. *shrugs*

    Harpuia= What's he done now?

    Leviathan= Holding a lighter like were in a music concert.

    Harpuia= John!

    Fenfir= Ohhhh yeah! Now that's a way to applaud.

    Harpuia= FENFIR!

    Leviathan= Why do you have to be so child-minded John!?

    John= You guys are killin me.

    Ciel= Uh... Is everything ok? I just saw John holding a lighter and saw Leviathan take it away.

    John= I was using it too cheer you and Biggs, and she took it from me.

    Harpuia= Uhhhhh, We have no time for this foolishness.

    Lucus= Oh, 4 guardians. Could you see me for a minute please?

    Harpuia= Please excuse us Miss Ciel.

    *The 4 guardians leave the room.*

    (music stops)

    Ciel= John, could you come with me for awhile?

    John= Sure.

    *John and Ciel walk to the private lab. Ciel made sure that nobody was inside or around the area of the room.*

    (music playing- Operations desk/ Metroid Fusion)Download

    Ciel= John, there's something I wanted to share with only you. Something I don't feel comfortable telling the others. Just only you. I need you to come with me somewhere with me and Roll.

    John= Where too?

    Ciel= Not going to tell you here. I will call Roll by her com-link under private channel. *Ciel picks up the com-link and set's it to private channel before calling Roll.*

    Roll (radio)= Yes, who is it?

    Ciel= Roll, remember what we were talking about before the meeting about the private trip?

    Roll (radio)= Oh, you mean you want to take John somewhere.

    Ciel= Get the car ready, were leaving any second now.

    Roll (radio)= Ciel, it's late at night.

    Ciel= It's time Roll. Just get the car ready, and I will drive this time.

    Roll (radio)= Ok. I will. I will meet you at the basement.

    *Transmission ends*

    Ciel= John, you promise me you do not tell the others, especially The 4 guardians?

    John= I promise.

    Ciel= Good. Get all your biometals and go get your Tardis from the bunker room. Here is your CCunits.

    (music stops)
    *John and Ciel quietly walked through the base and continued walking until the reached the basement.

    (music playing- Forbidden ark/ Megaman Zero 3 )Download

    Ciel= Roll, is the stuff already packed as requested?

    Roll= Yes it is. But why are you doing this Ciel?

    Ciel= ........,

    John= Ciel, .... are you ok?

    Ciel=......., *looks a bit sad* Well, are you ready John? *fake smile*

    John= I......guess?......,

    Ciel= Then it's settled. Were heading off.

    *Roll started the car and Ciel and John entered the car and the car took off through the resistance tunnel. They drove from the base and to the mountain area. They were reaching the snowy climate and the forest area they were driving through got colder.*

    John= Why is the heater on?

    Ciel (driving)= Were headed for the mountains here. It's a cold climate so be sure to put on something warm.

    Roll (Sitting with John)= I don't understand this? Why is Ciel want to go on a road trip so badly?

    John= I ....have no clue. *whispers to Roll* I Don't know what's gotten into her? She gave me a fake smile earlier and I Don't know what's going on?

    Roll= *whispers back*Ciel talked to me about this earlier today, and has been acting strange lately. Something must have gotten Ciel fixed.

    Ciel= What are you two doing back there?

    Roll= Nothing. Were just checking some of our supplies.

    Ciel= Were almost at the rendezvous point.

    *The car begins to decrease in speed and stops at a scenic view and stops slowly at a rest area where also leads to a wooded snowy path and it appeared to be a small snow covered dust trail that continues the path.*

    Ciel= Well, Roll. This is where me and John get off.

    Roll= What!? You mean your going to take John alone?

    Ciel= Yes, I Don't want to involve anyone else with this task except for John.

    Roll= .....Why?

    Ciel= Roll, we will meet back here sometime tomorrow night ok?

    Roll= Well, ok. You better take care of yourself and be sure to keep John safe too ok?

    John= I think I can manage.

    Ciel= John, get your stuff ready. Roll, get out the speeder.

    Roll= Ok.

    *Roll opens the back door and a hover speeder fit for 3 appeared. Roll get's it started and ready and activates the supply cargo levitation devices on them.*

    John= Roll, can I give you a hand?

    Roll= Sure.

    *John pulls out the CCunits and uses an empty one to store the cargo with.*

    John= What's in this cargo?

    Ciel= Food, rations, water, supplies.

    John= My Tardis has those....uh, I'll stop asking questions then.

    Ciel= Are you ok John?

    John= I....guess.

    *John feels a bit uncomfortable about Ciel's favor and thought to rather keep his opinions to himself.*

    Roll= Well, Im going back. Good luck you guys and be careful.

    Ciel= I will Roll. Be sure to look after Allouette for me.

    John= Alo, *sighs* I wonder how she's doing?

    *Ciel puts on a coat and changes her metal heels to her snow boots and walks to the speeder and hops on the driver seat.*

    Ciel= John, were ready. Be sure to put something warm on.

    *John had on his original outfit Kaolla picked out for him. John had only a long white furry coat with a hood and hopped in the back with Ciel*

    Roll= We will meet here tomorrow at what time?

    Ciel= Same time. Well, see you later.

    *Roll hops back in the car and drives back to the base.*

    John= Ciel, I didn't know you had a nice speeder.

    Ciel= Thanks. I had one custom made. Now hold on tight, were going to go there full speed and we need to get there before nightfall.

    *Ciel sets the speeder to drive and the speeder took off at a high speed through the snow covered woods and continued to cut through until they reached the rockies. The snow filled rockies were covered with snow and as soon as they gotten further to there destination, John saw a strange spaceship that looked like it crashed there, and has been there for quite a good while.*

    John (raised voice)= Ciel, where are we!?

    Ciel (raised voice)= That's where were heading! I'll explain later, now hold on!

    *The speeder drew closer to the ship and as soon as they reached there destination, they slowed down and stopped inside the docking hall.*

    Ciel= Good, now John, get out another empty CCunit and put the speeder inside.

    *John took out his CCunit ball and pointed it at the speeder and then it shot inside like a Pokemon going back into it's trainer's poke'ball.*

    John= Ok, now what do we do?

    Ciel= We walk.

    *Ciel pulls out a CCunit and opens op the one with the cargo crate. She activates the hover device and opens the rear door and takes out a few magnetic lights and puts them on the cargo crate. She also hands John an electric lamp and she takes out an electric torch. Then they walked deep inside the fallen ship *

    John= *shivers* Oooooh, so dark.

    Ciel= John, are you scared?

    John= Nahhhh, just don't like dark places too much. Twilight and dimness isn't a problem, but going inside a completely dark area, I.......uh.......just not to cousure.

    Ciel= You have nothing to worry about. Were perfectly safe.

    *The 2 continued to walk further inside until they reached a certain area, a control room of the spacecraft. Ciel told John to stop and to get him to gather a few things before he pulls out his CCunit containing his Tardis. Ciel opened the crate completely and took out some hacking and analyzing hardware from the crate. She then began to hook a few to the controls of the bridge of the ship.*

    Ciel= John, while im busy doing this, why don't you prepare supper? I am getting a bit hungry now. And you are a much better suited for a cook than me and Roll.

    John= heh, ok.

    *John pulls out his CCunit containing the Tardis and popped it out. Then John took a few supplies inside the Tardis and went downstairs in it and turned on the portable oven and prepared beans and franks. John thought since he was in the mountains and snow he thought this would be best for the occasion. But something still bothered John. Why does Ciel want him to travel with him alone? John wanted to stay silent about it, hoping not to let Ciel feel doubtful with him. John walked back outside to check on Ciel.*

    John= Ok, Ciel, I got the food on. It should be ready in a little while. Were having beans and franks just to let you know. Thought since were so way up in the mountains ....

    Ciel= John. I finished it. Come over here. There are things I need to tell you alone. Things I need to discuss with you. Questions I like for you to ask of you. And things that I need to show you.

    John= Ok, since you want me to come with you.

    Ciel= John, since you were being so patent with me and wiling to ask me why am I taking you with me alone, this is something I wish to ask you. Do you know what this place is?

    John= I have no idea.

    Ciel= Some time ago, before the Rangarock threats and the Area Zero events, I was here with Zero, and a few of my fellow resistance team members investigating this fallen spacecraft. This was a ship where Dr. Weil and the fearsome Omega were banished and never to come back to threaten this world. Do you want to ask why?

    John= Well, I give up.

    Ciel= 100 years ago, Dr. Wiel was a human being who worked with my ancestor and were bitter rivals with each other. He created weapons to use against the Mavericks and specialized in Reploid revival, while my ancestor worked on analyzing the viral energies within Zero's original body in hopes of finding a cure for the Maverick Virus. The original Zero was infected with a terrible contaminable disease called the Sigma virus. Although the Mother Elf was completed and was successfully used by X to end the Maverick Wars and eliminate the virus altogether, Dr. Weil was dissatisfied with these results. He believed that the reploids should pay for the carnage their wars caused and should submit to mankind. Weil eventually took control of the Mother Elf and reprogrammed her, transforming her into the Dark Elf, thus triggering the horrifying Elf Wars.

    John= Woah, Ol Weil sure has one ugly history.

    Ciel= But that's not all. Additionally, seeing as how it was long dormant and lifeless, Dr. Weil successfully used his retained genius to steal and fully repair Zero's original body and give it a new identity, Omega. With the Dark Elf to control the world's Reploids and Omega to destroy any and all who opposed him, Weil nearly destroyed the entire world.

    John= He's really rotten.

    Ciel=By the time X and Zero were able to end the war, it had decimated 90% of all reploids and 60% of human life in its flames. Omega was eventually disabled by X and Zero, and his remains were sealed up and launched into space to forever orbit the Moon. But before they sentenced him,...Weil was sentenced to be contained within a biomechanical suit that would prevent him from aging or dying.

    John= So, he's a cyborg. Wanting revenge on humans and reploids all together. That sentence, serves him right for what he did. He's sick.

    Ciel= He created many persuldroids to aid him in his quest to regain his revenge, but was thwarted by Zero. After he destroyed his counterpart, Omega, Dr. Weil became the new leader of Neo Arcadia. Then a few people from there, a group of caravaners we met awhile back tried to flee Neo Arcadia to be free from Dr. Weil. He returned with more of his persuldroid masters he created. We were able to save Area Zero from his clutches.......

    (music slowly dies down)

    John= Ciel, what's the matter?

    (music playing- On the hill the night/ Tales of Symphonia- original soundtrack)Download

    Ciel= Zero....he boarded Rangarock and he confronted Dr. Weil......told me to "believe in him"....he.....HE.....OH HE ......ZERO!

    *Ciel begins to cry and she charges to John and wraps her arms tightly around him and John gently held her behind her back.*

    Ciel= AOWWWWWWW!! HUuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

    John= Ciel.....ohhhh,.. *John began to feel some of the pain and sorrow that Ciel begin to have*

    Ciel= OH! Oh Zero why did you HAVE TO DIE!!! *crying* I SHOULD'IVE NEVER HAD YOU TO RISK .....YOUR NECK....FOR US!!

    John= Oh Ciel. I got you! I .....

    Ciel= I like for you to help us but promise me you never do what HE did! *crying loudly*

    John= I will not let that disgusting Weil take this world, you hear me!? I will stop him, and when im finished with him, Wily and Dalton, I will find Kaolla......and the others. You have my word Ciel. I may have been almost useless back at my own world, but I will not let that Weil do his bidding here.

    Ceil= *still crying* Oh...John.....

    John= Their their, Ciel. John has got you.

    *John picks up Ciel and held her with one arm holding her back and the other supporting her waist as she was a small child. John held her in a hug position and moved around slowly.*

    Ciel= Oh.......*trying to stop crying* John...you Don't have to .... do this! I...Don't want ...to ...loose you...like I lost Zero! *sniffling*

    *John's shoulder got soaked from Ciel's face as she cried and dribbled on him. John walked to the Tardis with Ciel in his arms.*

    John= You worked enough tonight. *trying not to cry himself*

    (music dies down slowly)

    *John took Ciel downstairs of the Tardis and sat her gently on the bean sack cuson and fixed it up and placed a napkin over her lap and put a handkerchief on her neck. John held a wooden spoon and fed her some of the beans and franks he prepared in a cauldron over the portables burner. John wiped her face and got her to blow her nose. John continued to hand-feed her.*

    Ciel= John....you Don't have to.... do that. *giggles*

    John= A smile at last. Now you get some sleep. You worked yourself too much, and too long.

    *John got Ciel to finish eating a full bowl of his beans and franks and picked her up and laid her in a sleeping bag. John managed to eat his portion but he ended up taking it down quick because he too was quite hungry. John ate twice more than Ciel did. John began to feel tired himself and opened a sleeping bag and took off his purple vest, white parts of his gloves and sneaks, shorts, and white socks, leaving on his tights and body piece. John fell asleep.*

    **************************John's dream*************************

    *John dreamed he was in a different world, according to his calculations, he was somewhere in a parallel dimension full of land, forests, sea and everything medieval. John was with Shinobu and Nyamo that time when they were searching for Kaolla who went missing. John was in a Final Fantasy dimension and was in the world filled with bizarre and magical delights, and also the threats of underworld monsters as well, John was in a pub seating Shinobu and Nyamo and himself at a table. John was dressed as a paladin, Shinobu as a white mage and Nyamo as a summoner.*

    (music playing- Echoes at mountain peek/ Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles)Download

    John= Hoah,.... what a day. Man why can' Kaolla stay out of trouble. Sheesh!

    Shinobu= That's how Su is John. She is always eccentric.

    Nyamo= She's full of energy, sometimes, she can't control herself.

    John= *sigh* Lets pray she's not taken by some monster.

    Yuke waiter= So young man, what will it be today? Aile? Rum? What beer do you wish to drink?

    John= Oh, im not an alcoholic. Do you have bottles of milk?

    Yuke waiter= Oh, yes. Straight from the fields of Fum I believe. Good choice sir, and for the ladies?

    John= The same.

    *Shinobu and Nyamo giggle with glee*

    Yuke waiter= Coming right up with your milk and tab sir.

    John= Ok, so where we plan to go to?

    Nyamo= According to this map, we are not far from a castle town home of the Lilties.

    John= Oh yeah, I heard allot of Selkies are doing some merchant business there and I just hope they have seen Kaolla, hopefully she hasn't jump kicked any stranger for fun just to be asking for trouble.

    Shinobu= She always struck down Keitaro back at the Hinata apartments, and she struck down that nice guy Hieduki Motosua person from that other world, she's bound to do it here.

    John= She needs to learn not to do that anymore. It's a bad habit of her.

    *Suddenly a few Dwarves walked into the pub begging for beer and bread from the bartender, and they were talking about the mines*

    Dwarf 1= Remember that abandon mine the Lilties used to mine allot?

    Dwarf 2= Yes, I heard a gang of goblins took a poor little girl away. Said that that kid put up a fight and got roped and captured.

    Dwarf 3= A strange lass she is, blonde hair, green eyes, brown skin, weird accent.

    Dwarf 2= She acted kind'a strange in a good way. Looked like a trouble maker of some sort.

    Yuke waiter= Oh, sir, here are your 3 milks. That will be 150 Gil please.

    John= Here you go. 150 gil. So, I need to be asking a few people about this picture of Kaolla and see if we can find a clue where we can find that Kaolla.

    Dwarf 1= Hey sonny! Why are you drinking milk instead of the real st....hey, what's that you got there boy?

    John= Oh, this? *shows the picture*

    Dwarf 1= That's that kid we were just talking about. That brown lass with the green eyes and blonde hair.

    John= This must be Kaolla. She was part of my group. Me and my pals were heading to find her.

    Dwarf 2= Then you need to go to the mines.

    John= Wow, thanks. As soon as im done here, I will be heading that direction.

    Dwarf 3= Not so fast sonny, you going alone with those 2 girls? HA! You are going to need companions better than what you have there.

    Dwarf 1= What about us? Can we go with him?

    Dwarf 2= Im not going to a mine filled with all those goblins.

    Selkie girl (she appears to be a wolfie blonde)= I will go. I need to get out anyways.

    John= You want to come with us?

    Selkie girl= I been their before and stolen much treasure. I snook through the goblins many times.

    John= So you can help us?

    Selkie girl= Well, not for free that is.

    John= Huh? Well how much do you need?

    Selkie girl= I say about, 1000 gil?

    John= Fine. Your hired.

    Nyamo= Thank you miss.

    Shinobu= That was very generous of you to help us.

    Selkie girl= Nah, it's nothin.

    *Suddenly, John felt a warm hand on his body, but couldn't see it, John seemed to be waking up from his dream.*
