Location: Slither Inc.[Date: Feb 23] [Location: Outside Slither Inc.] [Characters: Anyone welcome] Aile stood on the sidewalk of the highway, looking out in front of her at the building known as Slither Inc. Funny, how it seems just like yesterday her life flashed before her eyes during the final fight against Serpent and his Model W. Sure,, they managed to come out on top but... Could she do it again? She had Vent's help last time, along with the other Models. Now it was just her and X. She should have tried to find Vent by now but... Something was keeping her from doing so. Like she was scared...was she? Sure, she was glad that Giro was alive and well, but he had been out of the fight for so long, could she count on his help if something happened like last time? After all, the Ouroboros was never found after it crashed into the ocean and they'd been looking for almost a year. ...Could someone have beat them to it? She shook her head of these thoughts and returned her focus to the building ahead of her. She was curious as to who had decided the company was worth struggling to bring back. Could Serpent have returned? No. She'd have heard some news of that by now...wouldn't she have? For now she decided she'd just stake out the building...it was all she could do since she knew she wouldn't stand a change by herself and she didn't want to involve Giro in this...yet.

"Thank you! Enjoy your food~" Brie greeted as she delivered the order to a customer. One extra-large seafood ramen with a side of potstickers; comfort food, oh yes! Delivering food has its perks, in the form of...TIPS!
Brie kept a sweet smile on her face as the door closed, after which she quickly turned around to see how much she got.
5 ECs.
"Buu...Cheapskate." she muttered, pouting at the measly amount. Eh, what could she do? At this rate, it'd take her long before she could buy that next volume of 'Super Wanton Knight'.
After depositing the payment for the order and pocketing her measly tip, Brie got onto her bike and started to go back to the noodle shop.
...Scratch that idea, she needed a break. So she'd decided.
She found a good place to stop for a bit. Which happened to be near the old Slither Inc. building.

Aile stood there for a moment longer and sighed before turning around and starting to leave.
...she didn't make it far, however, as Aile all but ran into Brie as she came to the Slither Inc. building to rest.
"Oops! I'm so sorry!" Aile said, offering to help Brie with anything that she might have knocked out of her basket/off her by mistake.
"Kinda...caught me at a bad time, I didn't mean to do that..." she said softly, smiling at Brie.

Ha, this would be the prefect spot to take a break, since it'd be a long way back to the noodle shop. And to think she had to beat the 30-minute-or-else-your-order's-free policy! It was tough to accomplish with an old-fashioned bicycle! Why couldn't her uncle let her use a motorcycle instead?!
So there Brie was, fully intent on taking a break. Hey, she deserved it!
However, she hadn't gotten off her bicycle when she let out a startled shriek as someone bumped into her. Flailing, she fell to the ground, the empty food carrier falling out of the bicycle's basket. Good thing the food carrier was empty! Or else there will be hell to pay!
Getting back on her knees as she rubbed her nose, which she had landed on when she fell, Brie turned to glare at the hooligan who dared to run into her. Ooh, that hurt, you know!
However, the person, a girl older than her, was apologizing to her. And she even helped her gather her things. Brie was taken aback, feeling a bit guilty for wanting to yell at her now.
"J...Just look where you're going next time!" Brie said as she got up and righted her bicycle. Man, that smile was making her feel awkward.
Meanwhile, in Brie's pocket, Biometal Model En stirred from his nap. Had she gotten into trouble again? What a nuisance that girl was...

Kai was slowly just walking down the highway on his own in his overcoat and shades outfit today. Today seemed like a good day to directly investigate one of the main mystery events that happened to Innerpeace/Legion in the past few years.
More specifically, he's looking into Slither Inc. There was some supposed monster that ripped out from the roof a number of years back along with a few other specific monsters and mavericks around the city, but that wasn't any different from the reports of bigger badder mavericks that were there over the years. However, the year Slither Inc. fell was the year these odd super powered warriors showed up in Innerpeace.
What most people didn't realize was that those warriors were essentially Mega Men. Or at least, that's what most "Mega Men" who heard of these Warriors of Innerpeace/Legion before would assume them to be.
Still, a giant monster appears one night, slayed by two of these warriors, and then the president of the company is listed MIA for years. Same thing sorta happened with Master Albert and Ouroboros, only this time the rest of the Sage Trinity were also missing.
What better way to find out the truth than to just simply go to the place and look yourself?
Now Kai slowly walked up and stood some feet away from the front entrance of the damaged building. He stood there and just. . . kinda examined the building as he looked at the damage it sustained over the years as well as what repairs were already being done to it.
Pm just nudged Kai inside his pocket and whispered in a low enough voice so that unless people were standing directly next to him, others wouldn't be able to hear him. "I sense biometal here."
Kai looked around and examined his surroundings. All he saw was a pair of girls younger than he was just . . . well it looked like they hit each other or something else considering one was picking up her bike while the other was gathering some objects that probably fell off from the bike.
He turned his head back to look at the Slither Inc. building in front of him, but behind the cover of his shades, his eyes were looking in the direction of the two girls, also trying to listen to what they may be talking about. Or what they might talk about.

"I know, I know...I'm sorry...today just doesn't seem to be my lucky day." she chuckled, making sure everything was back in the basket of the bike.
"Say, why do you use that thing, anyway? Whenever I was your age I had my own motorcycle..."
And I was also fighting to save the world, but you wouldn't understand.
//Aile,// Model X said, snapping Aile out of her thoughts and making her look around for a bit before realizing that it was Model X talking.
//That girl has biometal...and someone else nearby does as well. They're both different then ones we've dealt with in the past. However, the one from afar is giving the strangest reading...//
Different? How so...today just doesn't' seem to be my day...I can't just go out and accuse this girl of being a Mega Man...can I...?
Aile sighed as she looked at the girl. It was bad enough that she had run into her. Now Model X told her that she had Biometal and she was stuck in the awkward situation of...not talking to her. That girl most likely thought she was a freak or something.
Well...
"Say...." she started off slowly, watching the girl for any change in behavior. "You're a mega man...aren't you?"
Way to go, Aile. Way to be blunt about it.

The older girl kept on apologizing, making Brie squirm in her mind. Oh, stop making the crazy girl feel more guilty already! Awkwardly, Brie rearranged her things in her bicycle's basket, not really knowing what to say to Aile. "Th...That's okay!" she said, trying to sound reassuringly sweet. And to think she was just thinking of yelling Aile's ears off a while ago!
Thankfully, the subject switched to Brie's bicycle. What, Aile used a motorcycle when she was her age?! No fair! "What? You had your own motorcycle?!" There was an obvious hint of envy in Brie's voice when she said that. She eyed her bicycle and said, "My silly uncle is so into 'retro' stuff, you see. That's why he makes even me use these old-fashioned stuff." Brie wrinkled her nose in distaste. "I was, like, 'hello, Uncle? We're in the 26th Century already'! Can you believe it? Oh! I'm Brie; what's your name?"
Meanwhile, in Brie's pocket, Biometal Model En perked up. If he wasn't awake already, the presence of two Biometals in their vicinity made sure he was. He shifted in that small enclosed space and nudged his Biomatch. //Hey, girl...Hey!//
Brie waited for Aile to respond...But why did she fall silent just now? How rude! Brie tried to get her attention, when she felt a rather insistent nudge in the pocket of her skirt. Alarmed, she turned around and answered her Biometal in a whisper, "What? Can't you see I'm busy?" //Who cares? This is more important...There're Biometal in this area. Two of them...// Brie gasped. "Biometal...Are they the bad guys?!" //I don't know yet. One of them is with that girl you're talking to. As for the farther one, I'm...getting a familiar reading...//
Oh, what an awkward situation this is turning out to be. Brie looked at Aile. She was one of the bad guys? But she looked so friendly...
Wait, Aile was looking at her! Brie gulped; what should she do? Then, Aile started to speak...Asking her if she was a Megaman.
Uh-oh...
"Uh...Aren't you one as well?" Model En wanted to groan. WAY to be subtle about it, that crazy girl!

Meanwhile, as the two girls are talking with their biometals, Kai and Pm are more or less listening to what bits and stuff they can overhear from them. Might be a bit harder to hear either of the other two biometals' voices, but they are still there, even if they can't make out every word the biometals are making just from both biometals speaking in lower tones.
Kai however kept a simple grin on his face as he kept his head pointed to the Slither Inc.'s building. Totally pretending that he was just some random bystander looking up and examining the building out of curiosity. He actually had to resist the urge to burst out laughing when the two girls asked each other if they were Mega Men. Oh boy this is going to be an entertaining night.
Pm did nothing to reveal himself as of yet. Nope. Not going to spoil the suspense right now.
But yes. Totally different and unique energy signature compared to what X has sensed before, even if his designs were later improved upon to make Mega and then later improved again to make X.
As for you En. . . You go after Pm's brother again, and you will find that spear of yours somewhere ELSEWHERE than your hands! The Proto Man shall always come back when you least expect it! EVEN FIVE HUNDRED YEARS LATER IN THE FUTURE!

//I don't like this, Aile.// X said so that only Aile could hear. She nodded in agreement. Indeed. Two Mega Men with signatures that were completely different than the four guardian Models she and Vent had had before.
...what if they were working together and were going to gang up on her? Model X alone wouldn't be able to take on two Mega Men. As it was she and Vent had enough trouble dealing with the four Mega Men who stole their biometals on Ouroboros.
Aile just sighed as she looked over, just now noticing Kai for the first time. It had to be him. Unless this girl had two biometals on her and one was managing to trick Model X into thinking it was further away then it actually was...
Ooooh her head was starting to hurt...
"...Yes I am. Are you here looking for a Model W?"
//Why would she...?//
"Shush, X." Aile said quietly, watching the girl with interest. If Mega Men were still searching for Model Ws then that meant the game of destiny was still being played...which meant she had fallen behind and had a lot of ground to make up...

Brie looked around the area, trying to make it look like she was checking the place out, despite having passed by this street countless times already. Two Biometals...One was with Aile; as for the other...
...That was when Brie noticed a rather strange-looking guy. What was that guy wearing? He looked like a...A BAD GUY!weirdo. She frowned and made a mental note to stay away from him.
Aile confirmed that she was indeed a Megaman, which made Brie step back in caution. Wait, what's a Model W? "Model...W? What's that?" she asked. "Is that another Biometal?"
Model En kept his guard up. Two Biometals, one of which emitted a very strange and familiar feeling. What's the meaning of this...?

Well they at least admitted they were both Mega Men. Were either of them the native Mega Men that have been showing up a lot the past few years?
. . . Well that's interesting. What is this Model W the blue one mentioned? Why would she assume someone would want to look for one here? Is it possible this "Model W" was associated with what happened here?
. . . Wait. WAAAAAAIT a second. Did she say "/A/ Model W"?!
The thought of Biometals having multiple duplicates of themselves just made Kai's grin turn sour and his head lowered to stop staring at the top of Slither Inc.'s building.
He's seen duplicates of at least one biometal attempted. But now Pm wasn't the only one who was having duplicate attempts?!
. . . This is a nasty turn of events. His head slowly turned to the direction of the two girls.
". . . what do you mean a Model W?" he asked out loud.

Oh look. That guy over there finally said something.
...neither of them knew about Model W?
"Come on, you two, you're pulling my leg, right?"
She looked at both of them but something told her right after she asked that question that they were serious.
...what Mega Man doesn't know about Model W?
"Do you two know about the game, then? About other Mega Men? I mean...wow." she was still taken aback that not one but two Mega Men didn't know about Model W. Was the game not as important as she thought it was?
//...that one over there, Aile...somethings different about him...// X said to Aile so that only she could hear him.
"Yes, stranger. I did say a Model W, as in more than one.

Brie blinked her eyes when Aile asked that question. Model W? What was that? "How can I pull your leg over something I don't know? Is it a bad guy? An evil monstrous threat that Megamen will have to destroy?" She then squeed as the excitement rose. Now's her chance, her big chance to be a hero!
"So where is it? What is it? Really, there's more than one? What's it look like? Have you seen one? Oh, wait...How do you know about it? Did you fight it? Was it like huge and really big and powerful? Oooh, the suspense is killing me~!"
Oh, Aile's telling more and it's only making Brie more and more excitedly curious. "Game? What game? Of course there are other Megamen; you're one too, right? Right?"
Oh, hey. That weirdo talked.

"What game," Kai began in a serious tone. "Don't tell me the 8 rumored Mega Men involved in both this scuffle with Slither and what happened with Albert last year somehow fits into some stupid game does it?"
Obviously Kai was not amused at the thought all the epic violent crap that happened in this area the past few years was just some "game".
". . . Who's the moron that decided making more than one of the same exact biometal was a good idea?" he asked out loud.
"And to repeat what the other girl asked you," he began. "Did you fight whatever the heck these multiple biometals are or are you some supporter of one?"

Questions. GAH.
Why did she open her mouth.
"Brie...was it? And you, stranger over there. If you're going to be a part of this conversation move closer. I hate talking louder than I have to."
she crossed her arms and sighed, how to explain Model W to them without...scaring the girl...by the looks of her, she was no older than 16, maybe 15. The fact that Model W ate the souls of people...that's not something you just throw around and expect them to be all "Oh, sounds about right." or something like that. Model W was no laughing matter, no.
Still...if they didn't know about it...she had to tell them...
"Well...you see...Model W is a biometal like no other...not only is there more than one...there are also different forms of Model W..." Aile took a deep breath before beginning to explain about the Biometal Model W and the Model W cores. Then she'll go on to explain how once all of the Model Ws have been activated they combined to make Ouroboros.
"...and that's what you both most likely heard about about a year ago, that "object in the sky" that eventually fell into the ocean. Master Albert's defeat caused the destruction of Model W...at least that's what we hope...no one has found Ouroboros yet...or any of the Model Ws that made it..
...and...as for the Game...well, that's a little harder to explain..."
