May 12th, Night time.
Jade and Kai only.
So what do ya do if you're Kai and out on a Monday night? YOU FIGHT CRIME! Or other things that would count as sticking his nose into other people's business.
So what does that mean out here in the forests? It means he's ProtoMerged and he's hunting down Mavericks for the evening.
Why? Because in the future hunting Mavericks is almost as common as reading the sunday newspaper.

And what do you do when you're Jade and out on a Monday night? Actually, he doesn't know what Te had in mind. Instead of just taking the usual route back to the city, the Biometal had him pass through the mountain pass. Mystery of mysteries.
...
...
...
"Could this wait until later...when we have proper accommodations?!" Jade groaned as he dunked his head under the water again. Oddly enough, he was in his armor, sans his crown-like headgear. "Washing my hair in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE...This is silly!"
//Nonsense, you silly child! This is necessary!// the alien Biometal snapped as Jade washed the soapy suds off his hair. //Now, you will cease to complain, unless you wish I wash your hair for you!//
Jade stiffened under water when Te made that threat. Slowly, he rinsed his hair before coming up above-water for a third shampooing.
"...Fine."

There was a sound of running water nearby. Obviously a stream or some sort of body of water. He would've ignored it and kept going on normally. What stopped him from doing so was the sound of voices. Who would be out here this time of night? Why did he hear splashing sounds?
Maybe it was time for some extra investigating.

Jade was busy scrubbing his scalp with shampoo, under the ever-watchful eye (in a sense) of his Biometal partner. He could wash his hair by himself no problem; he could only wonder why Te would insist on having him do it while Merged. It felt weird washing with the armor on...
Meanwhile, Te was clearly enjoying the wash. Fond memories...It almost feels like the old times...
...Of course, like old times, there was something disturbing the moment. Damn it! Te twitched when he felt a faint disturbance within the area. The Biometal's irritation was felt by his Biomatch, who'd paused from his scrubbing to look at his not-physically-there partner.
"...What's wrong?"
//Silence! I felt something nearing...// Te hissed, making Jade lower himself into the lake and took refuge behind some rocks in the lake. //Pest.//
Jade may be hidden, but the soap suds were left floating on the surface of the water...

Now a red armored man in a large dark red overcoat was approaching the area. Unarmed right now, and the tails of his scarf were lying on his back as he looked around. The figure's head was looking at the lake for a moment, with his head stopping and looking at the direction of those suds. He just stood there silently for a moment as he was staring at those suds.
He just stood there and, if need be, was waiting for those suds to all disappear. Maybe whoever was bathing here was running away. Maybe they hid. Maybe he was in one of those awkward moments in movies or animes and mangas when a guy walks in on a stream just to find a naked girl there by mistake. Not like he needed one of those scenes to happen with another girl. He was already dating sharpei after all.
Good thing the person bathing here was going to turn out to be a man then, and good thing said man would be megamerged. But Kai didn't know that yet. He just knew that someone was here recently, or still is and maybe hiding somewhere.

Jade waited, hiding still behind the rocks. Thoughts ran in his mind; was he seen? If so, how long? Who? He had no idea that it was a Megaman yet, Te wasn't telling.
Speaking of Te, he was growling inwardly, making Jade wince when he felt it. The pest was nearing and is now standing near the bank. Something was awfully familiar about this pest and the alien Biometal felt his curiosity being pulled. //Move closer, child. I must take a better look!// he instructed a puzzled Jade.
Bossy weirdo... Jade mumbled in his thoughts as he sidled closer to the edge of the rocks to take a closer look.
What he didn't...or failed to realize was, there was a trail of soap suds floating away from him and into plain view...

Kai stood there as what apparently looked like a large...clump of...was that seaweed or fur or something? Either way it was approaching him on the riverbank and coming closer to him from that suds clump in the middle of the stream.
He stood there watching that green clump come closer to him but wouldn't move a step. Just silently standing and watching.
"So are you coming out from there or are you going to stay submerged," he said as he spoke through the voice changer in his mask as he crossed his arms. "If you're trying to be sneaky while hiding under water, I'd find a better way to keep your hair down while submerged."

Jade twitched as the stranger pointed out an obvious mistake. Damn it! How could he forget about his hair?!
While Jade cursed at himself for failing to take precautions, Te was musing. The voice was strange...but the presence was very much familiar...Like something from long, long ago...
His cover was blown; Jade sighed as he started to surface. However, as he did so, a flash of light wrapped around the crown of his head before it traveled past the length of Jade's hair. When the light faded, Jade is now wearing his signature red crown-like headgear. And his hair is now dry and fluffy again.
Te stared.
Him...?!

Yes it is I, the great Tuxedo Mask!
So Kai continued to stand there and waited as Jade came out of the water. And apparently gave a flash of light to summon his helmet. Here Kai thought he was the flashy one.
This also brought debate to Kai's head about why so many chosen ones had to have flashy transformations whenever they Mega Merged.
"Sooo...did I walk in on bath time?" he asked.
Proto recognized Jade's armor as well. To think the Stardroids would become biometals. Then again, a lot of other odd and strange people have been turned into biometals, so he guessed he shouldn't have been too surprised.

No, you're not! You're not Sailor Earth! I'm the Earth, therefore; I wear the tux! *shot*
Jade gave the other guy a look that practically denounced that question. Technically, he wasn't taking a full bath; he was just washing his hair...Well, Te insisted he wash his hair NOW instead of doing it in an inn...
"D-Don't be stupid! Why would I take a bath way out here?!" Jade replied huffily, arms crossing over his chest.
...Well, well, well...If it isn't that little pest from before! Te was already glaring daggers at Pm. The nerve of that...He's still around?!
However, it did gave Te some sort of twisted satisfaction; at least Pm was in the same boat as he!

But you don't have an amazing pair of shades or anything to use for a cape!
Well at least Kai knew the person he was talking to was a guy, judging from his voice anyways. Seriously. What kind of person would have that much hair flying around?
"I don't know, why don't you tell me," he replied. "My hair wasn't floating away from soap suds as I tried hiding underwater."
Your hair betrays you yet again Jade.
Meanwhile, a silent Proto still remains silent.

I still have pretty hair!
Jade made a self-conscious gesture of running his hand through his hair. It was dry, no soap suds! Although, the suds were everywhere, having formed little floating islands of bubbly foam on the surface.
"So I was washing my hair..." Jade snorted, pointing at the other guy as if to stress a point. "That doesn't mean I'm taking a bath! And what are you doing out here anyway? Taking a peek?"
...Silent treatment, was it? Two could play that game!

"Not exactly a good place to wash one's hair," he began. "No telling what animals decided to use that stream as their bathroom. Not to mention all the dirt and minerals in there and all. Maybe even tadpoles."
He started walking a few steps to the side as Jade had asked what he was doing. "I do what I want at night. Usually that involves investigating odd things. Usually that involves fighting Mavericks. More often than not, it's taking care of what crooks police, the Guardians, and the Hunters missed during their daily routines."
He honestly hoped his past few months of vigilante activity had at least sparked a few rumors in the underworld.

"As if I don't know which water's clean or not." Jade muttered as a retort. Besides, hell would freeze over before Te lets him wash in dirty stagnant water...Then again, this was what he was telling the alien Biometal; the outside's too open to have a private moment!
His eyes followed the other guy as the latter started walking. Investigating?
//More like getting his nose to where it doesn't belong...// Te scoffed.
"That so? A vigilante. Didn't see that coming."

"That's one way to look at it," he responded to the biometal's scoffing. To Jade he also replied, "Of course. What better use would you have for a biometal's power other than to be selfless with its power for the general public? Using such power for petty reasons seems like a waste to me."
He waved his hand dismissively. "But then again, that's my opinion."
