"Does EM wave changing always have to be this tiring..?" Hoshi moaned quietly, hitting her head lightly on her desk after school.

"Hmmm.... No. Probably because your body is weak. Or it could just be you. Maybe me. I don't know, but usually no," Vul replied.

Hoshi closed her eyes and sighed at the answer, stretching her arms out in front of her.

"You're no help sometimes, you know that? Hoshi said, standing up from her seat and leaving the school campus.

"Well, excuse me for being no help, girly," the being answered back, giving an attitude to Hoshi.

Hoshi decided to ignore her wizard and kept walking straight to her house, wanting to go back to bed as quick as possible.

"I'm so tired.... All I do is EM wave change just once and all my stamina is sapped away right after... Is this normal? Cause if it is, I'm not wave changing anymore..." Hoshi muttered.

"..... WHAT?! YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS, RIGHT? DON'T BAIL OUT ON ME NOW! HOSHI? HOSHI!" Vul yelled, getting no response from the girl.

"Is it normal for FMians and fused beings to apologize liked that?" Subaru asked curiously.

Omega closed his eyes and sighed.

"Normally, they would attack, but this one is different... She doesn't seem to be from Planet FM....."

Subaru continued to stare at his arm as Omega-Xis continued to think.

"An FMian that hates fighting and avoids it, apologizes after doing something wrong, and never puts up much a fight unless she's angered..." Subaru noted.

"You got that right kid... Strange indeed.."

The two continued to travel on the wave road until they ran into a wall of hidden viruses.

"S-sorry, I wasn't paying much attention... Huh?"

Screaming people were heard inside from the building before them as their electronics continued to blow up.

"EM wave viruses. Perfect. It's time to start your combat training, kid," Omega-Xis told his partner.

"Now, where is that problematic brother of mine...." Suyuri mumbled to herself as she walked around the house.

"Subaru! ... Subaruuuu!" the girl shrugged and decided to take a walk outside after getting no response from her twin.

"I think your brother went out for a walk already," their mother called.

"Alright, thanks mom!"

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"These viruses get even more annoying everytime! Battle card! Predation! Sword!" Megaman said after firing at a few viruses.

"Haa.. haa... ha.. I'll get.. that haa.. Megaman soon!" Detective Goyoda panted, his alarm on top of his head flashing and beeping repeatedly.

"Hmm? What is going on here?"

The detective headed to the front of the crowd and looked at the device on his arm.

"It's that Megaman! And he's surrounded by viruses again!" the man exclaimed.

The blinking blue dot, surrounded by smaller red dots, on his transfer began to move away from the crowd and disappeared.

"GOYODA, GOYODA, GOYODA! I'LL CATCH YOU THIS TIMEEEEEEEE!" he yelled furiously, chasing after the boy.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Hoshi's transfer started flashing as a call tried to get a hold of her.

"Hmm, I wonder who it is..." she mumbled in a dazed tone. "Hello?"

'Hoshi, how have you been?' her mother asked without a hello.

"Just fine really."

The woman chuckled at her daughter's tired and sarcastic response, letting out a small sigh.

'If this is about school again, you'll survive, dear.'

Hoshi slowly nodded at her mother's response and stared at her schoolwork for a while before answering again.

"How long do you think you'll be over there?"

'... Hmm.... I'm not really sure, hon.. Maybe a month or more,' her mother said with worry. 'Have you been going to school on time?'

Hoshi froze and looked away in a guilty manner.

"Ahhh..... hahaha...." she began, a nervous smile creeping up her heated face as she let out a forceful laugh. "Well, look at the time! It looks like I've got to finish homework and make dinner, hahaha!"

'Oh, well, okay. Sorry if I bothered you, Hoshi,' her mother apologized, a little confused with the nervous laughter.

"OH, NO! NOT AT ALL! THANKS FOR CALLING, MOM! BYE!" Hoshi exclaimed quickyly, closing the call and shutting her transer.

"That. Was close," she said sternly.

"Haaa, troublemakers.." Vul sighed, stretching her front paws; the only arms visible on her body.

"Said the one who's been creating problems for me," the girl countered back, glaring a little.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"Omega-Xis? What is it that you know about my dad and the accident in space?" Subaru tried asking once more.

"Oh, for the love of god, kid. I already told you I know nothing of him!" the alien said irritatedly.

The boy pouted and puffed out his cheeks a little with disappointment. Megaman landed near the edge of a cliff and cut the wave change off, returning back to normal, as he looked over to the other side of the gap.

"Hm? Is that... Utagai-san? What is he doing up there?"

The antisocial man stood at the edge of a lower cliff opposite to Subaru, frightened at what he was about to do.

"Wait.. He's going to-!"

Subaru cut himself off as Shinsuke fell off the cliff without warning, his trench coat flying off as he did so. The machine he wore on his back unfolded mechanical white and cyan blue wings, allowing him to glide above the trees below him.

"M-MY INVENTION WORKED! HA! HAHAHAHA! THE FLAPPACK, IT'S FINALLY COMPLETE! AND IT'LL BE MINE! ALL MINE!" he said hysterically, flying in circles with his now completed invention.

The machine slowly began to stop working as it ran out of fuel, failing to keep Shinsuke up in the air for a little longer.

"H-huh? AU-UWAHH!"

Subaru immediately took a step forward from where he was as he watched the man fall to his doom, panicking with what to do.

"U-Utagai-san! Quick, Omega! Do something!"

The alien sighed and closed the transer by his own will. "You humans are crazy... And you've forgotten again..."

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"O-ow..." Shinsuke mumbled.

"You got lucky that the tree broke your fall. Are you okay, Utagai-san?" Subaru asked as he got closer to where Utagai sat.

"Ah, yeah I'm alri- Wait.... You're that kid from before! I knew it! You're here to steal my inventions away from me aren't you?! Well, I'm not going to let you have it!" he said furiously, protectively shielding the flappack from Subaru.

The boy's stomach suddenly growled, earning a surprised look from Shinsuke.

"A-ahah... I haven't eaten lunch yet. Sorry!" he exclaimed, pulling out a chocolate bar and breaking it in half.

"Here you go! You must be hungry as well."

The man glared at the candy being handed out to him and then at Subaru, repeating the action a few more times.

"Aw come on. You don't need to be suspicious about everything, see?"

Subaru took a bite out of his half of the broken chocolate bar and smiled at the taste of the sweet, able to earn a calmer look and smile on the man's cautious face.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"Are you sure you don't want a ride back, Subaru?"

Subaru nodded and gave a small smile to the older man.

"I'm fine, thank you! I think I'll go watch the stars for a bit," he replied, earning a nod from Shinsuke.

"Subaru, why did you share your food with him when you were hungry?" Omega-Xis asked curiously.

"He even treated you like an enemy.."

Subaru smiled and stood at his place.

"Just being human," he answered, unaware of Shinsuke's sudden car accident.

"Right... Anyways, he reminds me of an FM life form..... One that doesn't seem to have trust in anyone..."

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Hoshi hummed a little tune as she took a walk around the city; turning at the same corner Subaru was running up to.

"AUGH!"

The impact from Subaru's speed caused the two to stagger and fall backwards in pain.

"Ahh.. oww..." Hoshi said, holding her head for a bit.

"H-Hoshi? S-sorry about that!"

The girl looked up from the ground and caught Subaru's eyes for a second and then blinked.

"N-no.. It's fine... What's got you worked up today?" Hoshi asked as the boy stood up.

"Did you go stealing or something, Subaru-kun..?" she joked.

Subaru laughed inwardly and helped the girl up to her feet.

"And what if I did? I'm just kidding. I'm heading over to AMAKEN right now to share something with Amachi-san. Would you like to tag along?" he asked, taking a glimpse at her face.

'Huh? Is it just me...? Or....'

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

"Ehh? Utagai finished his Flappack invention?" Amachi asked the boy.

"Yeah! It looked awesome, the finished invention!" Subaru exclaimed.

Hoshi stood at the doorway and stared at the two. Amachi stood up from his seat and immediately headed to the main computer room, finding Utagai mumbling to himself.

"Shinsuke! I heard that you finally finished your latest invention!"

Utagai immediately flinched at the voice and looked at the man.

" M-Ma-Mamoru! Uh, well, yes I did!" the man exclaimed nervously.

"Is it alright for me to see it?"

Utagai frowned at the man's question and took a step back.

".. You're here to take it away from me, aren't you..?" the man asked suspiciously. "I can't trust you with that. I can't trust anyone with it."

Utagai suddenly grabbed his head and took several steps back.

"Utagai?"
