Chapter 14
"... Aliens...?" Hoshi repeated once more.
"Well, yeah aliens!" Suyuri exclaimed, practically gleaming in response.
Hoshi stared at the girl blankly as she began to study her features silently and closely with suspicions on her mind. Suyuri's smile became a worried one as she no longer got any other response from Hoshi, tilting her head in confusion.
"You probably think I'm crazy, huh?" she chuckled. "Never mind. Forget I even mentioned about extraterrestrial beings."
Hoshi snapped out of her thought and shook her head as she opened her transer again, quickly getting a picture of Suyuri's front view without her knowing it.
"Not at all. But why do you think its the cause of... an alien?" the girl asked, trying to sound as clueless as possible. "It could have been a virus of some sort... I think..."
"A virus?" Suyuri repeated. "Maybe.. But don't they just take control over devices and network currents?"
'Don't ask me..' Hoshi muttered. "So where are you dragging me to this time?"
Suyuri turned around to look at the girl who had possession of the orange alien in her transer, grinning and setting her hands on her hips enthusiastically. Hoshi lowered her eyes and grunted softly, knowing where she was going to be dragged to next.
"We're obviously getting you new clothes again. You're always wearing those baggy weird clothing, so I decided that we- more like me, I will fix you're sense of style! Sorry, not to offend you or something, but the way you dress just doesn't look right for a person like you," the girl with the light blue fox FMian said.
"... Offense.. not taken. Even my mom says that," she chuckled. "Oh well."
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"Hey, Vulpecula?" Hoshi asked as she washed up her used dish and fork.
"Yeah? What is it, Hoshi?" the fox replied as she came out of the contraption on the girl's arm. "What's with you calling me by that name all of a sudden?"
"That's not important right now. Do you think Suyuri knows something about the FMians? She did mention about aliens causing trouble earlier today..." Hoshi pondered.
"It sounds like she does, but any proof that she's involved with them?"
Hoshi thought about it a little longer and grabbed a cup of water, drinking it slowly and rinsing it off right after. Vul remained quiet as she waited for the girl to answer, rolling around in the air and hovering all over the room.
"She looks just like that EM Human.. Queen Magical was her name?"
Vul stopped hovering and sat upright to see the girl 's face without the need to tilt back her head too far.
"... That's true... Let's go on a mission. A stalking mission."
"What? No! I'm not doing that! Er... But I'm... I'm very curious to find out!" Hoshi said, rushing out the room to head back out. "Lock the door for me, Vul!"
The girl began to take off from her property only to be called by her lazy wizard.
"Hey, hey, hey! I can't touch things remember?" Vulpecula exclaimed. "I'm not matter!"
"THEN HOW DO YOU EAT MY FOOD!?"
Hoshi ran back disappointingly and did her own deed only to take off once again to look for one of the following people: Megaman or Queen Magical. There was only one certain task a certain someone could pull off if she wanted a picture of those two.
"Vul?"
"What is it now?" the alien asked.
"Wreak out havoc."
The fox blinked and stared.
"Wait, what, why?" she asked, completely clueless.
"To draw Megaman or Queen Magical out of course," the girl replied confidently. "If you think I'm crazy, then yes, yes, I am. If the Satella Police comes, hide out in my transer and we'll make a run for it."
"Whatever floats your boat, I guess.. You are one weird kid.."
"Well, you know what they all say... Curiosity kills that cat and that will most likely happen in this situation," Hoshi said casually. "Not like I care. If I get into trouble, then I do. Got to accept that once it happens and there's no turning back once you start."
"You better stay out of sight though, alright?" Vul told the girl. "If they see you, pretend you don't see me."
Hoshi waved her off blindly and opened her transer to get ready for snapshots for evidence and proof.
"Not like I can actually see you all the time, you know? One moment, you'll be visibly next to me, the next you're not even near me even though I know you're there."
Hoshi walked off with Vul following her behind from the wave road, waiting for random viruses to suddenly appear. Right on cue, viruses began to show up and surround the alien, suddenly noticing the girl below them. Hoshi didn't take note of the viruses and continued to walk until she met a boy, a few years younger than her, looking at her curiously.
"Hello, um, have you seen my father? He was supposed to get out of work early today to celebrate my birthday with me, but it's been over an hour already.." he sniveled. "My father has blonde hair like mine, brown eyes, and is this tall- no taller than this!"
The boy was now jumping as high as he could to help him visualize his description of his overworking father to Hoshi.
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen a man like that.. Happy birthday, kid, but why are you out here alone?" the girl asked, bending down to his level.
Vul was now fending off a few viruses away from herself and leading them somewhere to create a problem to call the wanted EM humans as Hoshi casually held a small conversation with the child below.
"My dad is taking too long, so I decided to go look for him!" he exclaimed proudly. "I'm old enough to do that!"
Hoshi just chuckled and pat his head, standing up before saying, 'You bet you are, kid.' One of the street light poles' light bulbs suddenly exploded from behind the two, causing both the boy and Hoshi to flinch and look back in response. A chain reaction occurred and most of the pole's light bulbs were suddenly being destroyed by the viruses, debris flying around them. Hoshi grabbed the boy and pulled him in closer to her body to keep him from being injured or cut from the dangerously shooting glasses.
"We need to get out of here quickly before anything else happens.." Hoshi said, looking back to see the viruses and Vul fighting without her.
One of the viruses' attacks landed on one of the no longer working poles, causing it to break and fall over to where Hoshi stood with the boy in her care. Her eyes widened up as she quickly reacted and jumped out of the way of the falling object, rolling a few feet away from danger. Right when that happened, Megaman appeared and began to help Vul defeat a few more viruses quickly.
'Took you long enough,' the girl thought, standing up and wiping at her cut hand and cheek. "Kid, get away from danger as fast as you possibly can. I need to see if anyone else was around and caught up in this mess."
The boy looked hesitant at first, but then complied to the older girl's instructions, standing up and picking up his tiny feet to run out of sight. Hoshi carefully walked back to where the fight was taking place and looked for a way to get a good shot of the boy, looking up at one of the tall buildings blankly. After finally reaching to the top to the building she aimed for, Hoshi carefully looked for an opening where she would be able to take a clear shot of Megaman, getting a few pictures and picking the clearest one of all. A few seconds later, Queen Magical joined the fight which seemed to surprise Megaman for unknown reasons. Again, the girl was able to get a clear picture of Queen Magical, finishing her task she gave herself to do.
'Good thing I got lucky..' Hoshi thought, holding up her hand to signal Vul.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
The fox noticed Hoshi's signal and nodded, but was stopped by Megaman before she could leave.
"Are you not going to help us clear out this mess?" he asked, shooting a virus in front of him.
"I am, but I need to EM Wave change to actually help you defeat these freaks quicker. Thing is , my operator is still at home," Vul lied.
Vul looked back at where Hoshi was standing, making the boy look over to where she was too, but the girl was now laying low so that she didn't get caught by any of them.
"Is something over there?" he asked.
"No, I just thought I heard those annoying policemen again," the alien said.
"No, I hear them too," Queen Magical said. "They're coming."
The cars suddenly screeched to a stop from below the three, Goyoda swinging the car door open and running over with the usual obnoxious blaring alarm of his on top of his head.
"STOP RIGHT THERE, MEGAMAN AND CO!"
"I'll be seeing you later then. Have fun," Vul said, making her escape.
"H-hey!" the two human beings called, looking back at the policemen.
'Let's get out of here,' Hoshi told Vul, taking the chance to EM Wave change and leave the area.
Once she got home for the last time of the day, she immediately got a call from Misora unexpectedly. Though she was completely worn out, she answered anyways for the sake of stopping the irritating flashes.
"Yeah?" she said as she picked up.
'Back to my perky old self again! Sorry about this afternoon,' the idol chuckled.
"Not at all. That's great to hear that you're back to normal again!"
'Right? I recently just met someone who'd take me anywhere in the blink of an eye! She-'
The girl caught herself from saying anymore to her friend and smiled sheepishly. Hoshi rose a brow at this, completely puzzled with her abrupt cut off.
'Forget I said anything. Haha, I'm just going crazy again,' Misora stated.
"If you say so..." Hoshi said, not taking in what her friend just told her.
'Anyways, has my manager tried to get a hold of you? He's been calling me repeatedly, but I just never pick up,' the girl asked.
"No, I haven't even seen him around lately. Misora, it's getting pretty late over here so I'll sleep now, okay?"
'Right, I forgot about time differences. No wonder it looked so dark! Well, good night! I'll be back soon.'
Hoshi chuckled and waved at the screen before it turned off again.
"What was that all about?" the girl suddenly muttered, heading to her room.
