"..." Asura snickers ever so slightly.

Pucca had finished delivering all today's noodles on her scooter, and was now going at full speed. She was in a hurry this time: She wanted to leave the scooter back at the Goh-Rong Restaurant before going after Garu.

That scooter was the devil, even leaving bits of fire in the way as Pucca rode it like a beast...

... that until she noticed a guy that seemed to be wearing armor in the color blue.

"Gasp!"

She would run over that poor man if she didn't do anything! She stepped hard on the break pedals to make her scooter stop, but was going so fast, that once it stopped, she was projected off it, being sent flying forward.

Pucca, like a little soft missile, crashed right into the blue-armored stranger, the impacted causing some good knock off. After that, Pucca had her eyes spinning, she was seeing stars.

The movement of the business seemed to be finally bearing some fruit, but it was still too early to tell. Business has never been so difficult to them as it was now.

Keke had even stopped believing it would go right so far. It stung her to witness herself and her three siblings working hard to spend a whole day one single customer only, and sometimes not a single one at all.

The reploid girl had a seat on one of the tables of the restaurant, empty like a ghost town. She was cross-legged on the seat, elbow resting on the table as the hand was being rested on by her chin. She held a spoon in her free hand, using her psychoelectronic ability to twist it back and forth without touching it, the soft sound of the metal twisting repeatedly being the only source of sound in there.

"I don't understand. It certainly seemed to be a great idea to open our business here... but if things didn't get sorted out until now, I doubt it ever will..."

The low twisting metal sound continued, until it was filtered by the sound of a soft bell chime as a blue armored reploid opened the main entrance door. Keke however at first didn't even to bother to turn to see who it was.

"Back early today, little brother? You usually come back by the end of the afternoon."

Just then she shifted on her seat, turning around to face who she thought was her younger brother... surprise surprise.

The reploid teen widened her cherry red eyes wide, and her jaw even kind of dropped a bit as she felt like her core would jump out her throat. She wasn't expecting this, not at all. The surprise even made her psychoelectronic dote to twist the spoon still in her hand so hard it actually broke in half with a neat 'SNAP!'

…You don’t know me quite as well as you think you do then.

DONE.

THERE'S TWO MEGA MAN Xs! 

WHICH IS THE REAL ONE!?! (prepares gadoken)

  Can't they BOTH be the real one? 

  NO! Remember in the first Mega Man where Mega Man has to fight his evil clone MEGA MAN!?! 

(don't be fanboying on this) Can we just wait until the bad stuff happens!   Plus it doesn't really help for the new guy since that would be kinda picking a favorite and make us look really bad and- 

OKAY! FINE FINE! I'll give a WARM welcome this Mega Man. 

WELCOME TO TUMBLR MEGA MAN X2!  

DAN! 

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I REALLY couldn't resist! 

WELL WELCOME TO TUMBLR MEGA MAN X! My name is DAN HIBIKI! Karate Fighter Extraordinaire! I'm really big fan of your games, and whatever you don't look into sister's old notebook... Let's just say when she was 13 she dreamt of two extra xs in your name... 

She was in grief. She was worried. She hadn't had any news about her friend Nightmare Zero ever since their last and brief meeting. She knew he wasn't okay, that he wasn't well. And the fact she had no idea of where he was or what he was doing or happening to him wasn't helping any bit.

Madotsuki was so concerned, that lately she'd always sleepwalk whenever she slept, not able to relax even in her sleep. What if Nightmare needed someone right now? what if somebody was taking advantage of the fact he wasn't in his best shape and trying to harm him?

So many possibilities, so much anxiety... Sleepwalking, Madotsuki gazed at her neighborhood from her balcony. Not a single life signal, other than maybe street cats and dogs, and pigeons. It was a deserted neighborhood, like a ghost town. And she was the only resident. 

It was hard to tell if Madotsuki was awake or asleep. The girl of the braided pigtails couldn't sit still even when asleep. She could sleep, but couldn't simply stay in bed. She was too worried.

Completely not sentient of her current actions, Madotsuki let her worry take over, sleepwalking out of her building, and into the empty streets of her neighborhood. Where was she going? Probably not even Madotsuki had a certain goal. She was going by nothing other than mere impulse.

No one was there to wake her up. No one was there to take her back home. And even if there was, chances are that they wouldn't realize she was actually sleeping.
