Matt waited until R.D. and Alasea had left before asking, "Mesia? Is that a pet name or something?"
"You knew it was coming," Hugo remarked.
Matt chuckled. "I do now."
"All right, everyone!" Hsien-Ko suddenly said, clapping her hands together. "The faster we can do this the faster we can talk to Juno and the faster we can get back to finding the gate! Let's go!"
"Yes, Sahib," Matt muttered.
As she entered the store, Alasea stepped in front of R.D., cutting him off, and placed her hands on her hips, staring at him intently.
"What?" he asked, annoyed.
"Why did you call me 'Mesia'?" she asked.
R.D. froze the moment he heard the name. He thought back. Crap. I did call her that.
He stood there, thinking, while Alasea got impatient. Just as she opened her mouth, it hit him.
"Because you remind me of her."
Alasea blinked, looking at him in confusion. "Remind you of who?"
"That redhead in the picture. Her name is Mesia."
"..."
Alasea gave R.D. a sad look. He must've regained another memory. "Who is she?" she asked.
"Eh... still not sure about that. C'mon, let's get this done. We can discuss it later."
As he walked off, Alasea gave him a sad frown, then followed him.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."
CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.
"I am Bureaucratic model, 3rd-class, MegaMan Juno." Juno answered the girl's question.
"Elite Guardian, Kouken." Kouken replied. "Now then, why don't you just put that little blade away, not like we came here to hurt you." He said with a small smile. "Besides, I doubt it'd do much against Ancients." He added.
~Elsewhere~
The young man had awoken from his slumber, and was packing away his 'bed'. It didn't take him but a few minutes to pack it all away, and then he decided to eat something before heading out. He took a roast beef and cheese sandwich from his bag and began to eat it. Who the ef is Juno? He asked himself inside his head.
Tomoko snorted. "Well, one of you is obviously male," she said, "And why should I believe you? I've gotten nothing but hostility from this ruin."
The girl kept her blade ready. "So, why did you come here anyway?"
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."
CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.
Kouken & Juno exchanged glanced when they heard the girl say "Well, one of you is obviously male". They both looked back to the girl, and Juno gave her a bit of a glare as if to say "bi**h."
"We came here for multiple reasons." Kouken replied.
"One: to see why a carbon was coming to these ruins." Said Juno.
"Two: make sure that certain carbon got out so it didn't get killed." Kouken said.
"Now my question." Juno said. "Why are you here?" He asked plainly.
Tomoko instantly understood the look passed between the two. "What? Just because you have purple hair doesn't mean you're a girl. He's obviously male," she pointed to Kouken, "because he's as arrogant as the rest of them."
The girl dropped her combat stance and grounded the top of her sword into the floor. "Well, here's some some questions and an answer."
"One: What the hell is a carbon?" Tomoko asked, "And two: Why would you even bother to worry about me?"
She turned around, not even bothering to wait for the answers. The water barrier splashed to the floor, allowing them passage. "If you want to know why I came, then just follow me," she said as she stepped through the gash in the wall and into the darkness.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."
CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.
*meanwhile, in space*
Dark Dragon: Can we go yet?
DragonFire: No... not untill the greatest fight for earth commences...
Dark Dragon: But I'm bored... Let's spar...
Dragonfire: Yeah... Good idea..
*they face each other and starts exchangong blows*
Kouken looked over at Juno, obviously annoyed. "Screw her. I say we let her die."
"Aww, do not be angered Kouken. I am sure she will warm up to you once she gets to know you a little better." Juno said with a grin on his face as followed the girl.
"Rr..." Kouken let out as he watched Juno follow her. He wiped the annoyed look off his face, and followed after Juno.
"I do not understand how you are unaware of what a carbon is, seeing as how you are one of them." Said Juno.
DragonFire: Heh, you've gotten better... *he throws a punch*
Dark Dragon: Heh, thanks... It's all cuz of you.. 8he dodges and throws a kick and a black fireball*
*DragonFire dodges*
DragonFire: That is enough for now.. *he goes to watch the ring of fire again, watching Juno*
Tomoko looked over her shoulder as they made their way through a number of rocky cavern passages. "The heck are you, some kind of robot?" she asked.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."
CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.
"We are Ancients." Juno answered. "We are the ones that made these ruins. In fact, we made all the ruins on Kattelox." He added as he connued to follow the girl.
Kouken seemed a bit warry about the school girl, she knew a bit too much about the ruins.
Tomoko staggered at the acknowledgement. She stopped walking and turned to face Juno and Kouken, giving them a furious glare. Her sudden cry reverberated throughout the entire cavern complex.
"YOU'RE THE JERKS I CAN BLAME FOR MAKING MY JOB A PAIN IN THE ASS ALL THESE YEARS!?"
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."
CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.
Both Juno & Kouken seemed boggled. Kouken looked at Juno and said, "Job? The Hell?"
"No idea." Juno responded without even looking to Kouken.
"Okay girlie, I didn't trust ya to begin with. But now, you've got me wondering if you're gonna go off and try to kill us." Said Kouken. "So, you better start explaining yourself before I start shooting." He said with his right hand tight in a fist as he powered up a beam.
*DragonFire watches closely*
DragonFire: Hmmm...... I can't let them harm a girl... Dark Dragon get down there now!
Dark Dragon: Right!
*Dark Dragon appears infrony of Kouken with his arns spread out*
Dark Dragon: Don't shoot her....
Tomoko glared at the two of them before turning around and continuing down the passage. "Follow," she commanded, and continued through the passageways, going further underground.
Eventually, they entered a gigantic cavern, one with multiple entrances on all sides. She turned to them slightly and pointed at the massive structure within the cavern. The giant metal totem pulsed with energy, giving off immense waves of power that all of the occupants could feel.
"My job is to protect that," Tomoko explained, "Especially now that it's actually appeared."
She turned completely to the structure, looking up at it. "I've come to this place regularly since I was five, ever since Aisha visited me. It's my duty and privilege to protect this artifact."
She looked back at them. "And it's especially hard when your damn Reaverbots keep attacking me every time I try to come here."
Tomoko's eyes widened at the beast that appeared within the cavern. "What the hell is with all the freeloaders!?" she shouted angrily.

"Dark Dragon, get the hell out of my ruins." Juno said blunly, and with a bit of anger. He then followed the girl, Kouken close behind him, his fist still powered up.
When they looked upon the structure they seemed amazed, but confused at the same time. That is not the work of the Ancients. Juno thought to himself.
Kouken couldn't help but wonder what the devil the thing was. He knew the Acnients didn't make it, it wasn't nearly as hi-tech as the things they made. "What the devil is it?" He thought out loud.
"I do not know." Juno replied. "Anyhow, the Dragoon is Dark Dragon." He said to the girl. "Now then, you must understand that it is the Reaverbot's job to protect all things within the ruins. There are items of great value within, things that one cannot simply buy at the local pawn shop, and that is why we made the Reaverbots to protect them." Said Juno. "If you are not an Ancient, they concider you a threat to the things within the ruins." He addded.
"Okay girl, why don't ya explain to us what this thing is, cause I know us Ancients didn't put it here." Kouken said to the school girl.
Dark Dragon: You can't make me Juno.. I was sent here by my master to keep the girl safe, so that is what I shall do...
*stays between the girl and Juno and Kouken*
Dark Dragon: I'm not gonna let any harm come to her...
Tomoko sighed and shook her head. Damn freeloaders, she thought exasperatedly.
She looked back up at the structure.
"That is a Pillar of Dawn," she explained, "One of five hidden throughout the world."
The girl sat down, conjuring up a chair made of ice.
"They won't appear until the end of the Age approaches. They were put here by a race of beings that were ancient while Earth was young. Some sort of prophecy, I think. Anyways, while these things have their own power and can't be destroyed easily, they're not invincible. So each one has a female guardian. They're called the Daughters of Dawn. As Aisha put it, we 'protect and maintain the beacons of the morning light from the destroyer from beyond the twilight.' You know, the usual 'destiny this, karma that' bullshit. Well, turns out its not bullshit. Whatever this destroyer is, it's coming."
She sighed and hung her head. "There's supposed to be five of us. 'cept one of us, our leader, got killed by a rogue demon. Aisha took over after that. There's already another girl that'll step into our leader's place, but she hasn't 'awakened' yet."
Tomoko got up and went over to the Pillar, and pressed her hand to its surface and concentrated. Suddenly, a misty portal opened up above them all. Tomoko looked up and watched the past events unfold. Three men in armor entered the cavern and gazed upon the Pillar of Dawn, then ordered one of them to leave. They all returned to the surface, but the one in black took to the skies. The scrying portal followed the man's path until it reached the scene of a battle between... Tomoko blinked.
Juno, Kouken, and one other guy against... she thought, trailing off as the portal revealed the fourth creature.
A being with white and black skin, a jutting face with red lips and no eyes, assaulted the three Ancients, wielding a double-bladed greatsword and flying on large black feathered wings in the flashback.

Juno watched the mist and saw the fight Trigger, Kouken, and himself had against the wanna-be-demon. Kouken, however, was too buisy talking to Dark Dragon. "Look you jack-off, this is the business of the Ancients, so stay out of it. Another thing, Juno told ya to leave--his ruins, his rules. So get lost." Kouken said with a bit of anger.
Juno looked over at Dark Dragon, and transformed into his Purifier form. "Dark Dragon, tell Yuki if he wants the girl safe, not that we plan to hurt her, he can come here and 'protect' her himself." He said calmly, using air-quotes on the word protect. "But do not insult me with your presence, Dark Dragon." He said with an expression of disgust, and then walked over to the school girl. "Enjoying the show?" He asked, looking at the past fight.
Tomoko ignored Juno's question and concentrated.
Aisha? she said in her mind. Despite it being telepathy and only supposed to be between the two women, the Pillar's energy amplified the signal and allowed all to hear.
Yes, Tomoko? Aisha replied.
Tell Ellie that those three came here too, but they didn't do anything except report the location to a Khaglessi, Tomoko said.
A Khaglessi?? came Aisha's startled reply, One of them is alive? I thought the nine of them had been destroyed by the Rising Dragon.
The Rising Dragon? Tomoko responded, perplexed. Oh well. Oh yeah, I've got some freeloaders in here.
She could hear Aisha's sigh over the mental link. Now what happened? Aisha inquired.
Couple of guys followed me to the island, demanding to know why I was in 'their' ruins. Said they were 'Ancients.'
Really? Aisha asked, Is there one MegaMan Juno among them?
Yeah, there is. Why, you know him? Tomoko asked in return.
Not personally, Aisha replied. Let them be. They don't mean any harm. Is MegaMan Trigger among the Ancients?
No. Just this Kouken guy. Hey, Aisha, do you know anything about our new leader?
She has yet to awaken. She is currently traveling with two powerful young men, one of whom has amnesia, a small robot, and two other women, one of which is a jiganshi, Aisha explained. This seemed to catch Juno's interest.
Lovely. WHO THE HELL IS PROTECTING THE FIFTH PILLAR THEN!? Tomoko 'shouted' in her mind.
It has yet to appear, and thus is safe. Once the fifth has claimed her birthright, the fifth Pillar will appear, Aisha replied calmly.
"Wonderful," Tomoko muttered under her breath, "The new girl gets to slack off."
She looked up to see everyone in the cavern staring at her.
"Oh shit," she exclaimed, "You heard all of that!?"
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."
CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.
Juno listened closely to every word the two said. He seemed quite intrigued by their conversation, more so when he heard the name Rising Dragon. R.D.!! Of course! Thought to himself. Sense Juno was without telepathy, his thoughts were not amplified for all to hear.
When they were done 'talking', Kouken grinned slyly and laughed a little. "You're kinda new to the whole telepathy thing, aren't ya?"
Juno was smiling, but not at the girl's mistake. "So, little R.D. got himself a girlfriend, and she turns out to be your ally, only she is not aware of it. How amusing." Juno said with a bit of a chuckle. "Oh, by the way, Trigger is guarding The Main Gate in my absence. He is the other one you saw in the past fight."
Kouken, now feeling to girl could be trusted, allowed his beam to power down until it died. "Who's R.D.?" he asked Juno.
"He's kind of an ally, yet not." Juno replied, glancing over at Kouken.
"Meh, whatever." Morph shrugged off Ryan's whining. "I got the Soul Piece, didn't I? Now there's..." He glanced at the compass, "about five left." He frowned. "Weird. I thought there'd be at least a few more than that. Oh well. Let's go after Orange first. Seems pretty close by, and Pink doesn't seem too far away from that." He smirked. "Let's go!"
All hail the Supreme Comrade Cossack!
Ryan's expression was filled with boredom, and almost seemed tiresome. "I still think ya screwed us over." He said with apathy. "But, whatever. Just lead the way." He said with a small shrug.
Having finished his work, Matt glanced out at the sea they would soon traverse. "So, uh...Hsien-Ko."
"Yeah?" The jiganshi joined Matt next to the edge of the boat.
"If you don't mind me asking...what's this business you and Mei-ling gotta take care of?"
"We're trying to bring our mother back to life."
"What happened?"
Hsien-Ko's eyes seemed to blank as she looked toward the sea. "A long time ago, our mother was killed by a powerful demon. We decided to use a technique called Tensei no Jutsu in order to resurrect her, but in our haste we used a forbidden version of the technique called Igyo Tensei no Jutsu. This is what we became."
Matt looked down. "...I see." He glanced back up. "Well, I'll get you home as soon as I can so you can fix this thing."
The jiganshi smiled. "Thanks."
It wasn't long before R.D. and Alasea returned, bickering over how Alasea was forcing him to carry everything.
"You really can help, you know," he muttered.
"Serves you right for calling another girl's name," she responded.
They caught the curious stares of their friends.
"Don't ask," R.D. muttered, getting into the fishing trawler and putting stuff away.
"So, we ready to go?" Alasea asked as she got in.
===At the Katteloxian Pillar of Dawn===
"Well, looks like you know about the group," Tomoko muttered to Juno. "Then do me a favor. If you meet that group again, you speak nothing of this to her. It's our ways that she learns on her own, or one of us approaches her. You can't interfere." She looked back at the Pillar, frowning.
"Well, I'm probably going to have to defend this thing soon, what with all the war going on."
Tomoko sighed and turned back to the others. "Do me a favor and reprogram your little guard dogs to leave me the hell alone. That way I get here without any problems, and you stop losing Reaverbots from here."
She held up her sword.
"This IS able to cut through a Reaverbot, after all."

"...yeah, let's go," Matt said, after dismissing his critical gaze.
Alasea glared at Matt's retreating back, wondering what the look was for.
R.D. was waiting in the helm of the boat, and after a while the others entered. Alasea was pouring through a map, trying to find exactly where Kattelox was at.
After a few minutes, the teen girl found the island, and quickly calculated the distance. She then swore. "Ugh. According to this, it'll take all freaking day to get there, if not more."
R.D. shrugged. "Then we better start now, huh?" he said, turning around and starting up the boat. After a bit, the group was off, sailing the ocean once again.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"

"I'm honestly surprised I'm not seasick," Matt commented randomly to Hsien-Ko. "I always thought I would be that kind of guy to get seasick."
"Maybe the Core's preventing you from getting sick," the jiganshi suggested.
Matt hung his thumbs in his pockets. "I doubt it. I swear, sometimes I think it's like, 'Yeah, I'm gonna send your fireball at this tree instead of this bad guy, okay? Cool.'"
Edited by The Helldragon on October 28, 2006 at 19:29:36.
Alasea moved out onto the deck and leaned against the railing. She was wondering about what her life would've been like if the Dark Dragon hadn't destroyed everyone in her city; if she hadn't met R.D. and Matt and the others.
R.D. was currently guiding their vessel towards the island, checking the map every once in a while. Alasea was right, judging from their speed it'd take a long time to get there.
He growled. There had to be a way to speed things up, and he didn't want to pressure Matt into using the Core to do it.
"Can someone keep an eye on this for a moment?" he asked.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"

"I will," Mei-ling offered. "What are you going to do?"
