Fate of the Unknown Biomatch

Either the boy wasn't taking this seriously or he may have been trying to flatter Vlad by imitating his pose. That wasn't important right now, considering the nature of this meeting and how the boy's personality was from what Vlad could tell. It was just in the boy's nature, being a shadow element after all. Vlad's known this kind of behavior in others before.

"I have been 'well' if that is what you were asking," Vlad said as he corrected the boy's english/japanese. The tone in Vlad's voice though was one of a friendly nature though, so as to lighten. . . no, ease the mood of this meeting. Giving such meetings of business a bit of a friendly atmosphere to them would indeed possibly give cause to the rise of future meetings and such, maybe even an alliance without the need of hypnotizing this boy as he has had to have done to certain other individuals.

"As I am assuming you have been well as well, or at the very least well enough for us to engage in this meeting, allow me to get right to the point," Vlad began.

Vlad held out one of his larger clawed hands to Teos and uncurled his fingers to reveal a data disk. (Which by this year's advances in technology and all would probably be more than likely able to hold more data than any of our present day USB's, maybe even hold an entire database in it.)

"This is all the data on the individual you asked me to search for. I've had to pull some strings as well as do some external research of my own from outside the country," he began. "The man is approximately in his mid-twenties. His hair color and eye color may look different, but they are natural. Height is roughly between six feet to six feet and one inch. His weight is at best within the 160's or 170's. His name is Kai. Last name unknown. He is an investigator from one of the countries north of our own. He works for his home government part-time, but lately it seems he's been considering going into private investigations of his own. He has some sort of connection with a company known as 'Prototypes' from that same home company. At night time, he seems to take up the hobby of being a vigilante in this area, calling himself Proto Man. He's been in this area since late January. When he is not doing investigation work or Vigilante work, he seems to be walking around different areas of the city, most likely to get a better understanding of the city and its layout. Upon further research, the name Proto Man or figures of similar descriptions seem to appear in different articles of other countries, mostly pertaining to destroying a unique group of Mavericks whose origins remain unknown. Currently he seems to be well acquainted with a few other. . . special individuals with similar . . . unique capabilities similar to his own."

No need to describe these people as Mega Men, as Johnathan had not mentioned having any knowledge of them or biometals whatsoever in their previous encounter.

"On this disk, you will find data pertaining to the articles, a few images and some details pertaining to these friends of his, as well as all of the video and audio recordings of him my own mechanaloids were able to gather on him throughout this past week," Vlad began. "Judging from the information I've found on him, as well as your previous statement about this man being a possible link to your parents, are you considering hiring this. . . 'detective' to help you find your parents?"

Some of the very individuals on that data disk listed being familiar or even. . . allies or acquaintances of Kai's would include, but are not limited to, Aven, Juli, Sharpei, and Thor.

And as for some of the recorded events, one that may particularly catch Teos's attention while he's reviewing all the information later would be the meeting Kai had with Caden on the previous night.

Vlad began to pace the roof with one arm under his chin while his other arm held that arm up. As he paced, a dark shadow wrapped around his entire form like an orb, before it dissipated, leaving behind only what looked to be a normal humanoid in very proper looking attire. His eyes still retained a red glow in them, while his grey hair was pulled back, along with a finely trimmed mustache. Right now Vlad looked to be about 60 or so years old, an old Humanoid at best. A midnight snack here and there would at least shave off a couple of decades from his appearance.

Reason for the change? It would be very suspicious for a humanoid/reploid and a Psuederoid to have been seen talking to one another on the roof of a building in a residential district in case someone bothered to accidentally look up and see them in the night sky. Seeing two people on a roof would be far less suspicious.

"Proto itself means 'first', 'foremost', and 'earliest form of', and in this case could be considered a prototype," Vlad said in his humanoid voice. Which means it could be the prototype of the megamen, or even a third type of biometal using being. Nah that seemed too ridiculous. A megaman prototype seemed more believable.

"Still, I am interested to learn more of this man and his companions. Somehow I feel a small sense of . . . familiarity about them," he began. Then he chuckled, "but perhaps that is just my old age getting to me."

He was also curious about Johnathan. He had more and more doubts about the boy's story, let alone that this was the boy's true form.

"I don't suppose you'd care much to join me for a midnight meal would you?" he asked.
