These two were complimenting each other's moms in OSS, so it made me want to see them talking about their dads. Just the image of them right next to each other sounded so funny to me, like, it's Lan's Computer Nerd Dad and then Geo's Astro Jock Dad.

Starforce 3 ending is still one of my all-time favourites, definitely whit Kelvin finally comes home, and Geo family is finally whole now with his mum, Dad, and Alien uncle.

Also gotbto love how Kelvin big hug is accidentally choking Omega'Xis

It seems like Geo is more similar to his father then we realized.

Geo Stelar - De garoto isolado a um herói cibernético

Geo Stelar(星河スバル Hoshikawa Subaru) é o protagonista central da trilogia Mega Man Star Force(流星のロックマン). Ele é um rapaz solitário que perdeu o pai dele, antes dos acontecimentos da série(games, anime, mangá) e vive em uma cidade chamada Echo Ridge. Ele é o filho de Kelvin Stelar e Hope Stelar. No passado, Geo era um jovem muito alegre e jovial, que queria ser um astronauta assim como o pai dele. No entanto, o pai dele desapareceu misteriosamente no espaço, e Geo rapidamente se torna um rapaz solitário, deixando a escola para fazer homeschooling(ou seja, assistir aulas em casa). Desse dia em diante, Geo passou a frequentar um local chamado Vista Point, olhando para as estrelas, para se sentir mais próximo do pai dele. Um dia, um amigo de Kelvin, Aaron Boreal, vista a casa de Geo, e lhe entrega um par de óculos chamado Visualizer, Geo agradece-lhe, e então se dirige para o Vista Point. No caminho, ele encontra Luna e os amigos dela. Luna convence Geo a ir para a escola, de maneira forçosa, pois a garota queria ser a presidente do conselho estudantil. No local chamada Vista Point, Geo olhava as estrelas e tentou utilizar o Visualizer, no entanto, nada aconteceu. no entanto, uma poderosa onda “EM” acertou o Visualizer, e um misterioso FM-ian chamado Omega-Xis apareceu. Durante o incidente com os Wave Viruses, Geo e Omega-Xis se fundem no poderoso Mega Man Star Force, e assim surge um novo defensor no combate contra ameaças advindas do espaço sideral.

Would've been kino if I was the first ever person to use the Hope Stelar tag, though.

I was hoping to touch up/finish all the comic entries in the past couple of months but I ended up not drawing anything at all.

Also that's not a typo on Heartless' name. Just a headcanon that she's gone by all these "-less" or similar codenames in the past while she's up with all the cloak-and-dagger stuff she presumably does.

There's kinda headcanon deal here that she went by Heartless a bit after this because she's told Hope yes Kelvin disappearing is pretty sad but she's the mom so she gotta woman the fuck up for the son and she's "damn girl that was pretty heartless i gotta go by that now lol".

Uh, it was funnier in my head.

This looks really bad to me after months of disuse and even longer battling with very miserable mental blockades. But it probably looks no worse than the one above. Uh, to anyone else, probaly.

SPOILER WARNING GOHH PLEASE IF YOU DON’T WANT IT PLEASE DON’T READ BUT IT’S NOT…. THAT BIG OF ONE JUST WEIRD WHOLESOME “HEADCANON” FOT THE END OD THE STORY OR SOMETHING

So I was thinking, what with Kelvin coming home at the end of the game, how did he do it? Throughout the games he was seen as an EM body, surely his actual physical body was probably long gone without something to sustain it, so… …What if he just converted himself into a Wizard to interact with the real world? It makes the most sense to me, personally- And he could have his Wizard adapter sent off to work if he was to decide to work at AMAKEN or at WAZA, and back to Hope’s Hunter-VG the rest of the time. I’m ranting but here’s a thing rip-

Shooting Star Sonia 3

Chapter 38

“Administrator…of the Noise Server?” Sonia repeated.

“Former,” Blitzar corrected.  “That title currently belongs to Kelvin Stelar.”

Geo started.  “W—my dad?! How did that happen?”

“As I said, I have much to explain.  However, due to the threat concerning the Darklight Harvester, I believe it best I conduct my business with Solo first so that he may exit the server.”

Reluctantly, Geo nodded.  Solo was still in a fighting stance, and said, “Out with it, then.  What business do you have with me?”

Blitzar held out one hand.  His emblem glowed faintly, and then an object appeared in his palm: a large chunk of some sort of metal.  Solo’s eyes instantly widened.

“I have decided to return the xarium to you.  Here.”

He offered it to Solo, who carefully reached out and took it.  After staring at it a moment more, he turned back to Blitzar, asking, “Why do you have this?”

“When Meteor G began heading for Earth, I scouted ahead to examine the planet’s status.  I detected the energy readings of the xarium and took it from its shrine, with the intention of studying it.”

“You were going to study it?”

“Of course.  This is the metal your people used to create Le Mu.  We were impressed with the machine, but were never able to acquire a sample to learn more about its properties.  This seemed to be the final opportunity to do so.”

Solo stared at Blitzar as he processed his words, his face shifting ever so slightly as he seemed to reach some sort of epiphany.  He then brought the xarium to the Proof of Loneliness on his shoulder, and with a small burst of EM waves, the ingot was absorbed, and the piece of armor took on a brilliant silver sheen.  Solo shuddered briefly, and then nodded.

“…Thank you for returning it,” he said.  “I believe our business is done.”

“Indeed,” Blitzar said.  He stepped aside and gestured towards the exit.  Solo, Jack, and Tia all walked past him, and he then turned to Sonia and Geo.

“Alright,” Geo said, “can you please tell me about my dad now?  How did he end up here?  How did he become Administrator?”

“I will explain,” Blitzar said.  “Kelvin Stelar, while wandering space as an EM being, encountered Meteor G and was pulled inside the server by accident.  I was curious, so I bestowed Noise Immunity upon him.  We conversed, and after learning all I needed, I offered to deposit him on the nearest planet.  However, he declined: he said that he was not familiar with the area of space and thought it best to travel within Meteor G until he reached a system he recognized.  He’s been quite the engaging specimen, always proposing games and wagers to pass the time. I informed him when we drew near Earth, expecting he would wish to leave then, but he reacted with concern upon learning the meteor was approaching the planet.  He asked me to alter its course.  I did not.”

“Why not?” Sonia asked.  “Don’t you care if Meteor G destroys the Earth?”

“This meteor has destroyed many planets since its construction.  Regrettably, I am bound by the parameters of my assignment to merely observe where it was pulled by other Noise in the galaxy.  I must not interfere.”

“You…you let entire planets die, just because…”  She glanced to Geo, ultimately letting go of the rest of her sentence.

“As for Kelvin,” Blitzar went on, “when I said I would not alter the course, he proposed a wager.  We would play a game, and if he won, he would be named the Administrator of the Meteor Server, so that he could redirect it himself.  He lost.  He proposed the same wager many times, but I repeatedly beat him.  Eventually I grew tired of this and stopped accepting these proposals.  However, during the final stretch of the approach, he presented new conditions: if I would accept the game, and if I won, he would never ask for another chance.” He chuckled softly.  “…He won.  So, I transferred Administrator rights to him and then continued to observe.”

“But, I don’t get it,” Geo said.  “If Dad’s the Admin, then why is Meteor G still headed towards Earth?”

“It was already too late.  The excessive Noise on planet Earth has been pulling on the Noise that makes up the Meteor Server, and vice-versa; at such proximity, this attractive force was too great for the meteor to pull away from.  Kelvin was able to slow its course, but that was all.”

“Dad…”

“Well I’ll be damned,” Mega said.  “Kelvin’s been toughing it out in this inhospitable dump, still finding a way to help save the Earth.  That guy never ceases to amaze!”

Geo smiled at this, but only for a moment.  “Wait.  I saw King with him, and that barrier…”

“Yes,” Blitzar said, pointing.  “King has issued Kelvin a challenge similar to the one Kelvin issued me.  They are now in the midst of a game, and the winner will automatically be named Administrator of the Meteor Server.  The barrier was erected to prevent outside assistance—it can only be disengaged by the Administrator, and so will stand until the title is bestowed.”

His gaze falling, Geo murmured, “So all we can do for now is wait, and hope Dad wins.”

“That is all the information I have regarding Kelvin Stelar,” Blitzar said. “If you have any other questions, I will answer, but if not—“

“Hold on, dear,” Lyra said as she materialized.  “I still have questions about this Meteor Server: why it was constructed, why it possesses so much FM-ian data, things like that.  Care to enlighten me?”

Blitzar shifted slightly.  “…Of course. The Meteor Server was constructed by Planet XM several years ago as a self-sustaining mobile research lab: I am stationed here to observe where it is drawn, gathering some information about worlds it passes or destroys, as well as run a wide variety of experiments involving Noise in order to perfect our data on the subject.  As for the FM-ian data, that is something of a side project.”

“Exactly what sort of ‘side project’ requires data on our species’ combat abilities?  And perhaps more importantly, where did you obtain such data?���

“Obtaining the data was easy.  As the server passed worlds that had been attacked or destroyed by Planet FM, leftover EM waves were pulled into its databanks.  It did not perfectly integrate into the system—I suspect this is why your Noise Control Programs were able to access the files so easily—but it still provided an excellent opportunity to carry out experiments utilizing the combat data of many FM-ian warriors.”

A sickened look crossed Lyra’s face.  “…So then…the data we’ve been accessing is the remnants of our past wars? That’s rather unsavory to hear…”

“It is simply data,” Blitzar said.

“…Hey,” Mega said.  “Any chance…you got some data from Planet AM in here?”

“No, we do not.  The server did not pass through the area of space Planet AM formerly occupied.”

“Huh, makes sense…”

Blitzar looked at his wrist.  “Does this information answer your remaining questions?  If so, I must take my leave: I am expected back on Planet XM for a debriefing.”

Sonia looked over Lyra and Mega.  Facing Blitzar, she said, “I do have some questions, but we’re in a hurry too.”

“I see.  Perhaps some other time, then.  I am certain we shall encounter each other again: a colleague of mine is closely observing Planet FM right now, and I would be surprised if his studies did not eventually lead him here to the species’ ‘second home’ as it were.”

Glaring, Lyra asked, “Why are you people so fixated on us?  It’s unnerving.”

Blitzar gave it some thought, and then shook his head a little.  “There is no precise reason, truthfully.  I suppose we simply find you fascinating.”

“Fascinating?  Well, that doesn’t sound condescending in the least.”

“It was meant as a compliment.  Once we observed what you did with Andromeda, we were very impressed by your ingenuity; Planet FM has been on our radar ever since.”

Lyra groaned.  “Goodness, this entire conversation is nothing but bad memories, it seems.”

“I apologize, but will that be all?” Blitzar said.  “I really must be going.”

“Alright, go ahead,” Sonia said.  “But if we do bump into each other again, there’s a lot more I want to know.”

Blitzar nodded.  “I understand.  Until then.”

He vanished in a flash.  Sonia turned to Geo, who was already staring up the incline.  They started walking.

“Everyone alright?” Sonia asked.  “That was a lot to take in…”

“I’ll be fine once I get Dad back,” Geo said.  “Thanks, I’m okay.”

“It’ll be nice to spend time with Kelvin again!” Mega said.  “I’ve really missed the guy these past few years. Glad to know that hare-brained escape plan of his actually worked out for the best.”

Lyra stayed quiet.  Sonia was about to ask again, but she said, “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit shaken. It’s distressing to know that the records of our sins were all saved in this place, that they can be called up on demand so easily.  That it was all apparently brought about by Andromeda’s reign of terror only mortifies me further.”

Sonia gazed out at the Noise flowing by.  “It must be painful.  I’m sorry. But, you know…remembering a mistake also means remembering how far you’ve come since then.  And, because all of those memories are here, we’ve been able to use them as Noise Changes to do some real good.  Maybe that doesn’t make up for making those mistakes in the first place, but…it’s already done.  All we can do now is decide where we go from here.”

There was a moment of silence, and then Lyra laughed.  “Always able to find the bright side.  Thank you, Sonia.  It means a lot to hear that from you.”

They reached the top of the incline to be met with a massive wall of Noise. Barely, they could see beyond it: a wide platform extended past the shield, and at the center were King and Kelvin, staring intently at the cards in their hands.

“I can’t tell if he’s winning,” Geo mumbled.

“He will,” Sonia said.  “When it counts, he doesn’t fail, right?  That’s the impression I get whenever I hear about him.”

Geo tried to smile, his worry unfortunately winning out.  As Sonia turned back to the game, she noticed something at the far end of the platform, and squinted to try to make it out.  Attached to the Wave Road through a series of cables and pipes was a large sphere that appeared to be made of yellow glass.  Sonia stumbled back in disbelief.

“W-What?!” Geo asked.  “What is it?”

“Another one…just like the others!” Sonia said.  “Blitzar, he mentioned Andromeda, and Le Mu…and he’s got one powering Meteor G, so…”

“Goodness,” Lyra said.  “Then all these oddly similar power cores we’ve encountered—they were made by Planet XM?”

Movement drew everyone’s attention.  Kelvin laid out his cards, and then turned to King and waited.  A tense moment passed as King examined his own hand…and then set the cards aside, hanging his head.

“…He won?” Geo said.

Kelvin got to his feet with a smile.  He faced the barrier, beginning to raise an arm, but froze when he saw Geo.  Staring at his son, Kelvin waved his hand slowly; the barrier disappeared, and Geo tentatively walked forward.

“I…guess it’s been a while,” Geo said.  “You might not recognize me, but—“

He was cut off as Kelvin hugged him.  “Of course I recognize you, Geo.  It’s so good to finally see you again.”

Geo was stunned for a moment.  Then, returning the embrace, he said, “Yeah…it’s great to see you too, Dad.  I missed you so much…”

“I’m sorry I was gone for so long.  I’m sorry I missed so much of you growing up.”

“It’s not your fault—you don’t need to apologize!  I just…I just…”  Geo started to sob.  “Dad…”

Sonia glanced over at King.  He remained in place, still staring down at his desk.

When Geo and Kelvin finally separated, Mega appeared beside them, saying, “So this is where you’ve been hiding out Kelvin!  ‘Bout time you made it back!”

“Mega!” Kelvin said.  “Good to see you too!  I really owe you one for helping me escape Planet FM.”

“Nah, don’t worry about it.  You ended up helping me do the same thing, so far as I’m concerned, we’re even.”

“Heh, if you say so.  I guess you’ve been living on Earth with Geo and Hope?”  Kelvin paused.  “…Hope’s alright, isn’t she?”

“Mom’s fine!” Geo said.  “I mean…she’s been missing you too, but she never stopped believing  you’d make it home someday!  She’s going to be so happy to see you again!”

Kelvin grinned at this.  It was now that he noticed Sonia, and asked, “Who’s your friend?”

“Oh, right!  Dad, this is one of my Brothers, Sonia Strumm!”

“What?  Rosa’s daughter?”

Sonia nodded.  “That’s right.  Nice to meet you, Mr. Stelar!”

“Wow.  How’s Rosa doing?  I bet she’s ready to give me an earful as soon as I get back, huh?”

Sonia averted her eyes.  “…Um…”

A frown gradually took over Kelvin’s face.  “…Oh.  Did something happen?”

“…Yeah.  Mama’s in Heaven now.”

Kelvin gave a solemn nod.  “Wow. I’m really sorry to hear that. Your mother was an amazing woman, Sonia—it was a privilege to be able to work alongside her.”

She smiled a bit.  “Thank you. But, right now…”

They all turned towards King.  He finally looked up, shrugging a bit and saying, “I did the best that I could. You defeated me fair and square, Mr. Stelar.”

“That’s right,” Kelvin said.  “I’d never lose to someone with intentions like yours!  Now, as Administrator of this server, I demand that you leave.”

He snapped his fingers.  Nothing happened.  Kelvin furrowed his brow; a spark then came from the core, and King smirked at him.

“But then,” King said, “I’ve rarely been one to play ‘fair and square’.  Ho ho ho ho!”

King floated over towards the core.  Kelvin shouted, “What…what did you do?!”

“You’re as simple-minded as they come, Mr. Stelar.  So focused on the game in front of your eyes, meanwhile I directed my attention to an alternate strategy.  Yes, you were so confident you could win that you agreed to temporarily suspend your Admin privileges…leaving the server completely unprotected.”

The core continued to spark as King laughed.  Geo and Sonia came forward, the former saying, “Get back, Dad!”

“It was child’s play to hack into the server without an Admin to stop me!” King said.  “Even if you’ve regained those access rights, you won’t be able to eliminate the backdoor that I’ve created!  Full control over Meteor G is mine at last!  Ho ho ho ho!”

Noise began to build up around King as sparks consumed the core.  Sonia shouted, “King!  This is your final warning!  Give up Meteor G, or—“

“Or what, Harp Note?  What have I to fear from the likes of you?  Such simple, naïve, well-meaning folks who have but scratched the surface of what Noise is capable of!”

Electricity arced out from the core, binding it to King as the Noise continued to swell.

“Only the corrupted can master this force of corruption!  Now, lay eyes upon the inevitable!  Bear witness as Noise brings all of Earth to its knees!”

Sonia could just barely make out King being pulled into the core as the great mass of Noise around them began to take shape, sprouting what appeared to be two large wings and a long, serpent-like neck.  The pipes that connected to the core had been upheaved, but still remained intact as they jutted out from the creature’s torso like splintered bones.  With a bright yellow flash, a layer of Noise at the front of the body was blown away, revealing the core—the wings raised then, as black, scale-like plates of metal coalesced along their upper edges, down the creature’s back, and all around its neck.  The erratic waves then formed a draconic head of red metal, with curved, segmented horns and geysers of ghastly blue Noise shooting from its cheeks.  The creature roared.  That alone had enough force to push its foes back slightly, as well as calling into being two great clawed gauntlets that connected themselves to its body through thick arms of Noise.  A shell of reddish-purple light closed around the core, not completely hiding it from view; the monster then lowered its head to the Wave Road, eyeing those gathered to oppose it, and laughed.

“Ho ho ho ho ho!” King said through the dragon’s mouth.  “Such incredible power!  It’s even greater than I dared to dream!  This erases all doubt: this body, this Crimson Dragon I have birthed, is undefeatable!”

“I’ve heard that before,” Sonia said.  “Nothing’s undefeatable, King!  And if we have to, we’ll prove it to you!”

“Dad,” Geo said, “there’s a Noise Wave back there that leads to a rocket Cyber Core.  If you—“

“I’m not going anywhere,” Kelvin said.  “I’m still the Administrator!  I should be able to reduce this thing’s power, even if only a little!  It might just give you the edge you need!”

The Dragon raised its head.  “Oh no, I really must insist!”

It roared again.  A portal appeared behind Kelvin, and suddenly his body locked up, wracked with pain as he found himself pulled towards it.

“I can’t have you interfering with my victory, Kelvin Stelar!  You are no longer welcome within this server!”

Geo managed to grab onto Kelvin’s hand, struggling to keep his father in place. Sonia moved to attack the Dragon, but one of its claws disappeared, instantly reappearing above her.  She narrowly dodged as it swiped towards her.

“Hang on, Dad!” Geo said.  “I’ll save you, I promise!”

“Rgh…Geo…forget about me!” Kelvin said.  “You have to stop King!  If he’s really using all the power in the server, you need to focus everything you have on him!”

“What?  But what about you?!”

“I’ll be fine, Geo!  Trust me!”

Geo shook his head.  He pulled harder, but even still, they both slipped closer and closer to the opening. “I…I can’t lose you again, Dad!  I just got you back!  I still need to bring you home!”

Sonia tried to help them, but the Dragon forced her back with its claws. “Now now, Harp Note: your business is with me!”

Grinning, Kelvin reached out and set a hand on Geo’s shoulder.  “Geo…I’m going to be okay.  Once this is over, I’ll find my way back to Earth, and we’ll go see your mother together.  That’s well within my ability.  But this fight is something only you and Sonia can handle!  I know you can win, but not if you waste strength trying to save me!  You have to let me go, son…otherwise there won’t be an Earth for us to go home to!”

Geo shut his eyes tight, tears leaking out nonetheless.  “…I love you, Dad.”

“I love you too, son.  I’ll see you soon!”

It took all the willpower he possessed, but Geo let go of his father’s hand. Kelvin shot through the portal, out into a field of stars, and as it closed before him, he gave one final shout.

“Show King your teamwork is stronger than his precious Noise!”

Geo put a hand to his face, quietly sobbing into it a few times.  Then, taking a deep breath, he turned back around: Sonia was managing to fend off the Dragon’s claw, but the monster seemed more amused at her resistance than anything else.

“You gonna be okay, kid?” Mega asked.

“…Yeah,” Geo said.  “I’ll see him in a little bit.”

He flew to Sonia’s side, knocking the claw away with a powerful kick.  The Dragon tilted its head as he landed, saying, “Done saying your goodbyes?  We don’t have long until Meteor G hits the Earth, you know.  Time to go all-in!  Ho ho ho ho ho!”

“Geo,” Sonia said, “I—“

“We’re going to beat him,” Geo said.  He armed his buster, and in his other hand, he created a sword of dark energy that he pointed at the Dragon.  “We’re going to stop King, destroy the core, and save the Earth and everyone on it.  Right?”

Smiling, Sonia readied her guitar.  “Right.  Maybe it won’t be easy, but we’re not taking him on alone!  All of our loved ones are sending their strength to us, cheering us on, because they know we can do this!  With their help, we can’t possibly lose!  Ready when you are, Geo!”

“Let’s rock—“

“—and roll!”

Sonia blasted the Dragon’s face with a beam of Noise.  While she distracted it, Geo circled the area, peppering its entire body with shots to probe for weak points.  Simply shrugging off their attacks, the Crimson Dragon swiped at Sonia, only narrowly missing her, while a small bunch of Noise started to form near its head.  The waves shaped into a missile that shot out at Geo—he was a bit surprised, but the speed Black Ace afforded him was more than enough to dodge in time.  Charging in, Geo stabbed at the Dragon’s head repeatedly, his attacks unable to pierce its scales, while Sonia loaded a Battle Card into her guitar.  When she played, spinning blades came flying towards their enemy, changing direction in midair to avoid the Dragon’s claws, and found their way to the core in its chest. Unfortunately, they broke to bits against the Noise that shielded it.

“There’s always a shield,” Sonia grumbled.  “Geo, keep your eyes on the core!  If I’m right, that’s the key to beating him, but we’re going to have to find a way to make it vulnerable first!”

“Ho ho, think you can?” the Dragon said.  “I’ll wipe you fools from existence long before you’ll have the chance to finish me!”

A spread of missiles flew out from the creature.  Geo dodged and fired wide blasts of water, while Sonia instead stood her ground, smacking an incoming missile with her guitar and sending it flying backwards to explode against the Dragon’s shoulder.  She punched back a claw that attempted to crush her, and then aimed at the Dragon’s head; it raised both claws in response, and Sonia smirked.  With a thud, her two tower speakers appeared on either side of the Dragon, each ejecting strings that wrapped around the nearest claw and held it firmly in place. Sonia then fired strings from her guitar, wrapping the Dragon’s jaw shut, and used the immense strength granted by Red Joker to pull the massive beast’s head down towards the Wave Road. The Dragon struggled to no avail. Geo appeared above it, and with three swift sword strikes, the head was severed, dissipating into Noise that swirled aimlessly around the server.

“There!” Sonia shouted—the Noise shielding the core was breaking down as well. “Give it all you’ve got!”

Geo assaulted the core with twin Vulcan guns, giving Sonia a chance to charge up power.  When he moved out of the way, Sonia fired a particularly intense Noise beam, hitting the core dead-on.  She prepared to charge another attack when the shell of waves spontaneously reformed.

What?

As the Dragon’s neck continued to flail, a geyser of Noise erupted next to its base, quickly solidifying into the form of a second neck.  Noise concentrated at the ends of both, and a few seconds later, the Dragon had not only regenerated its head, but now had a second one. It laughed at them.

“Did you really think it would be that simple?” it taunted, bashing the speakers over the edge of the road.  “The power of this server is vast, more vast than you can ever know!  Cut off one head if you like, but more will simply grow in its place!”

Both maws opened to expel a raging torrent of Crimson, one sweeping over the platform to batter Sonia while the other filled the space above, tossing Geo about.  When Sonia looked up, one head was snapping towards her—she jumped aside, pushed it with a short blast, and then backed away and placed a hand on the side of her helmet.

“Geo,” she said into her helmet mic, “can you hear me?”

“Loud and clear.”

“I figured this would be a safer way for us to coordinate.  The core should open up if we can break the heads again, but it looks like we’re only going to have a narrow window to work with.”

Geo rolled to the side, narrowly making it past one of the Dragon’s claws. “I wonder…even if it has two heads, it’s still controlled by King, right?  Do you think we’ll still be able to split his focus?”

“Guess we should feel that out before making any major moves.  Okay, I’ll put on a show center stage!”

Sonia loaded a Battle Card and started playing.  Bombs shot from her guitar, each erupting into an enormous explosion as soon as they made contact with something; the Dragon roared at this, swiping at Sonia fruitlessly.  However, Sonia didn’t see the second claw until it was too late.  She was knocked down, and the Dragon prepared another breath attack.  Geo shot at it from behind, causing both heads to turn, and focused his fire on one as he strafed to the side.  The other head returned to Sonia, but its attack was delayed enough that she was able to punch it in the nose and get back up.

“It definitely expands his vision,” Geo said, “but I think that’s all.  It’s hard to say right now, but if this continues, controlling multiple heads might put more of a strain on him.”

Sonia loaded another card, transforming her guitar into a giant axe. “Let’s find out!”

She jumped, landing on an incoming missile just long enough to boost herself closer to the Crimson Dragon.  Swinging, she cut one head across the cheek, twisting as she fell in order to kick the other as it tried to catch her.  When she landed, she immediately raised the weapon to block as they both lunged.  Geo swooped in then, hurling two spinning scythes, and chopped off the heads, revealing the core once again.  Sonia hopped forward to smash her axe into it, pausing between swings to give Geo openings to launch arrows.  They pulled back as soon as the shell returned, watching as the Dragon formed four heads, and watched carefully as their foe roared at them.

Something blindsided Geo.  As he floundered, Sonia felt something stick her in the back, and turned to see spears made of Noise flying at her.  She raised her arms to block, and then faced the Dragon to see more coming at her from that direction.  Geo was facing his own swarm of them, two of the lances momentarily pinning his wings to the Wave Road, but once he teleported free he focused on evasion and managed to steer clear of any more.  Sonia did her best to ignore the attacks and fired blast after blast, but she began to grow worried about how much damage she was taking.

“Sonia,” Geo said as he zipped around the server, “I’m going to set you up! You should be able to wipe them all out temporarily!”

Battle Cards orbited the head of Sonia’s guitar as she waited.  On Geo’s next pass, he dropped a small round object that fell between the heads—once it hit the Wave Road, it erupted in a large cloud of green, consuming the heads and surrounding the nearby area in grass. The spears stopped, and Sonia swiped a card.  A great flamethrower spewed from her instrument, washing over the four heads in an instant, using the grass as fuel to burn even brighter.  Geo’s plan worked: the heads were eliminated, and the core unveiled.  He reached out with both hands, calling dozens of small electrical orbs to rise up from the edges of the Wave Road, each slowly creeping towards the core as Sonia pulverized it with a continuous beam.  The last orb struck just before the shell reformed, and now eight heads greeted them.

“Foolish children!” the Dragon said, raining more spears down upon its foes. “Why do you continue to struggle? Noise cannot be stopped!  Noise will ravage the Earth, and every other world, until it corrupts this entire universe!”

The spears ceased.  Sonia cautiously kept her distance, only to see all eight heads reach up and blanket the sky with Crimson breath, leaving Geo nowhere to run.  She quickly pivoted to attack—a flash from the core caught her attention, and suddenly a million tiny pinpoints of Noise shot out at her, stinging her entire body.  Despite the pain, she still swung her glowing fist in a hook punch; every head recoiled as if struck, cutting off their aerial attack.

“You will become one with the Noise soon!” the Dragon said, swiping at Sonia with its claws.  “But unlike me, I don’t think you’ll find it a pleasant experience!”

Geo shook his head as he found his balance again.  Flying around behind the Dragon, his sword crackled with electricity, and with a single swing, he lopped off four of the heads.  Bringing his blade back around, he cut off the other four, and then raised the weapon overhead before slashing down, calling a large thunderbolt to strike the core just as it was exposed.  Sonia charged power as quickly as she could, flames springing up from her armor as she did.  When she finally attacked, an immense, spiraling tongue of flame surged forth from her guitar head, charring the Wave Road and leaving a wreath of smoke that lingered around the now sixteen heads of the Crimson Dragon.

“Noise is inescapable as death itself!” they all shouted in unison. “Come, mortals, to meet the reaper’s blade!”

“That core is still running?!” Geo exclaimed.  “Sonia, are these big enemies always like this?”

“No,” Lyra said, “usually they’re mute, and it’s a quality I find myself missing tremendously at the moment.”

Spears rained down, complimented by an onslaught of missiles.  Geo flew back as far as he could, eventually finding himself out of range of the worst of it, and Mega said, “Even if King’s focus is split between all those heads, it doesn’t matter much with these wide-range attacks of his!  If this keeps up, we’re gonna be in serious trouble!”

Sonia evaded what she could, saying, “We just have to hang in there! Everyone’s counting on us, and we won’t let them down!”

Noise burst from the Dragon’s torso again.  Sonia was able to catch some of it on her guitar, but what got around it still stung terribly.  The creature said, “Even now you talk of your childish ideals!  Powerful as your naiveté may be, even it shall be slowly eroded into nothing by the Noise!”

Sonia began to drop stone blocks on the heads, shrugging off the attacks that hit her.  “I’m not being naïve!  You think I don’t know how hard it is to believe in people?  To pursue ideals in a world that seems like it doesn’t have room for them?  I’m not naïve…but I’m going to keep believing!  Maybe now I know how hard it is, but that just means I’m more prepared for the fight ahead!  So I’ll keep fighting!  For my sake! For my friends’ sake!  For the sake of everyone who’s willing to open their hearts and let themselves grow!”

She summoned two new speakers to her side.

“You think corruption is inevitable?  I know that isn’t true!”

An ear-splitting sound pulse rammed straight into the Dragon.  Its attacks all came to a halt as the heads wobbled about in a daze, giving Geo a chance to teleport next to Sonia.  Both his buster and her guitar began to shine brightly.

“Hopefully this’ll end it!” Geo said.  “Hah!”

They each fired a volley of white energy blasts, tearing apart the heads and then pounding away at the core.  As the attack raged on, sparks began to burst from the core, and hope swelled in the two young heroes.  Then, Noise exploded out at them, overwhelming them both with stinging pain as thirty two Crimson Dragon heads formed to loom over them.

“Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!”  The laughs echoed all throughout the server.  “Pretty words—that’s all idealism is in the end!  Draw your last breath in defiance if that shall make your passing peaceful! One way or another, your broken waves shall be but another folder in this server as it brings ruin to your world!”

The heads reared back in unison.  Geo moved forward and threw up his shield just in time, protecting them both as waves and waves of Crimson spilled forth.

“Did you see the core?” Geo said.  “We’re close!  If we can get one more round, I think it should be enough!”

Sonia caught her breath.  “Alright…one last push.”

“Sonia?  You alright?” Another deluge of Noise came at them. Geo’s shield held.

“I dunno.  None of these attacks have been too bad thanks to this armor, but I’ve taken so many of them.  I think…I might be nearing my limit.”  She readied her guitar, her speakers blaring to life in anticipation.  “I can try to charge up all the power I have left. Hopefully I’ll hold out, but if not…”

As she trailed off, Geo looked up at the Dragon, seeing it unleash even more Noise.

“No, maybe that’s too risky,” Sonia said.  “I need to keep moving.  We’ll just keep at it, and—“

“It’s alright,” Geo interrupted.  “You just charge your attack, Sonia.  I’ll protect you until then.”

Sonia blinked.  “What? Geo, he’s just messing with us right now.  Once he sees we’re up to something, he’s going to get serious—attack from all angles, with everything he’s got!  You need to focus on keeping yourself safe!”

Facing her, Geo said, “Even if we try to play it safe, we might not last through to another opening.  We need to pin it all on this one, Sonia, and work together to be sure it’s successful!”

“Geo, I don’t want you to get hurt!”

“I don’t want you to get hurt either!”  Still more Noise battered the shield.  “Sonia, I know you’re used to ending things on your own—I know you’d rather do as much as you can by yourself while the rest of us just support you! But I’m your Brother, and I’m here for you!  I’m depending on you to deliver that attack, so please, depend on me to keep you safe while you get ready!”

Time seemed to slow down as Sonia hesitated.  Eventually, she gave a single nod, and raised her guitar.  “…Okay.  I trust you, Geo!  We’ll finish this leaning on each other!”

Geo grinned.  “You got it, Sonia!  I promise: not a single attack will get through!”

He rose into the air as Sonia started to play.  The Dragon growled, muttering, “Oh, what do we have here? Are you spoiled children ready to meet your end?”

“Mega,” Geo said, “we probably won’t have time to react.  I know Black Ace’s analysis is complete, but I’ll need you to keep that data flowing.”

“Way ahead of you, kid!” Mega said.  “Don’t worry about a thing!”

The Dragon roared.  Missiles flew out, but Geo shot them all down in the blink of an eye.  Spears fell towards him, but he teleported aside and up, slicing them apart, before immediately getting above Sonia to slice apart spears that had taken aim at her.  His visor flashed—missiles were closing in from all around.  He shot down most of them, teleported down to kick a few more out of the way, and simultaneously threw his sword to skewer the last one so that it clattered uselessly against the floor.  A new sword was in his hand instantly.

Sonia just kept playing, trying not to worry about Geo as he continued to deflect attacks.  Her speakers glowed as they transmitted her music, though to her surprise, it seemed a good deal louder than she had expected.

“Hope you don’t mind, dear,” Lyra said.  “I’m doing a little mixing while you play, increasing the energy output so that we can reach our goal a bit more swiftly.  Waiting around didn’t seem the most productive option given the circumstances.”

Sonia chuckled.  “Thanks, Lyra.  With everyone helping out like this, I’m sure we’ll pull through!”

She continued to play, and then, somewhat suddenly, recognized exactly what song she was playing.  Something had clicked, she realized, and her focus grew sharper as a second wind empowered her.  It had taken a long time, taken much struggle, but she finally knew the words to this song.

“Here it is,” she said.  “Debuting now…Shooting Star!”

The Crimson Dragon roared.  As Geo cut his way through a barrage of missiles, Sonia began to sing.

“I don’t know whether it

Might’ve been chance or fate

That we met that day

And our bond was born

I never thought that

I would be a part of this fight”

Still more missiles came.  Geo dashed through the air, firing a wide spray of pellets from his buster to shoot them down.  The Dragon’s claws came after him, but he swung his sword expertly, parrying each swipe as he continued to deal with the missiles.  A surprise jab forced him to ascend—the claws pressed their advantage, but Geo unleashed a powerful blast that stopped them both cold, before holding both palms out below him.  Dozens, if not hundreds of tiny black holes opened, sucking up not only the claws but every last missile that was mid-flight.  One additional rocket formed directly behind him.  He sliced it apart with a flex of his wing, not even turning to look at it.

“But now I look around

And see I’m not alone

All the ones I love

They give me strength

Our bonds form

A brilliant constellation

That lights the night”

Next came the spears.  The Dragon wasn’t even trying to hit Geo now, instead opting to attack Sonia from multiple angles and ranges in an attempt to outmaneuver Geo.  He dashed forward, cutting through the nearest set of spears, and then teleported in front of Sonia just in time to obliterate a few more. Jumping behind her, he blocked a small cluster on his shield before unleashing a trio of fireballs at the projectiles, and then executed a far-reaching slash that felled at least a dozen incoming spears at once.  Geo teleported rapidly, using the same type of swing again and again to carve up the advancing wall of attacks on every side.  The Dragon increased the ferocity of its attack, so Geo teleported faster, barely visible as he moved from one spot to another to another.

“We are the shooting stars

Who light the way ahead

We have all we need

To defend our home

From whatever comes”

The core flashed as the hail of spears suddenly stopped.  Immediately in front of it, Geo put up a barrier just as pinpoints of Noise gushed forth, the protective light lasting mere seconds before he had to replace it.  He rapidly chained barrier cards, just barely having long enough each time to hold the barrage at bay.  However, he then noticed the Dragon’s many heads rearing back.

“Our trust, our love,

They’re all the strength

We need”

Dropping a large chunk of stone in front of the core to be safe, Geo teleported to the middle of the platform as the Dragon’s Crimson breath washed over it. With little time to think, Geo stretched his arms out and began to spin, wind whipping around him to form into a great tornado colored green by the hundreds of leaves that filled it; the Crimson slammed into this cyclone, and slowly, it was all swept up by the powerful air currents, turning the funnel from green to red.

“We’ll turn

Each others’ pain

Into hope”

The tornado flew upward and dissipated.  Geo was breathing heavily, and took a glance back at Sonia: she was still playing, massive clouds of Noise now enshrouding her speakers.  The Crimson Dragon snorted furiously.  Geo steeled himself as it snapped forward, but then his eyes shot wide as he saw the Dragon do something he had yet to see it do. The thirty two heads it had amassed were now being launched forward, one-by-one in rapid succession, all weaving in very different paths as they bore down on him and Sonia.  Geo abandoned all attempts at thought and simply acted.

“I'm not afraid of anything

We'll keep lighting up the sky

For all to see”

A yellowish glow cloaked Geo.  Oversized shots poured from his buster at breakneck speeds—he could track the heads well enough, but it took far too many shots to destroy each one.  One hit him directly, going up in an explosion of Noise, but he simply ignored the pain and dove, skewering a head that had nearly slipped past him.  Geo hurled bladed wheels at the heads, breaking some and only diverting others. He buried his sword in one, raising his hand to call down a brief shower of meteors, while firing a stream of rockets from his buster, leaving only a handful of heads remaining.  Summoning another blade, he slashed through as many as he could, but one got around him; he threw himself backwards, taking the detonation himself, and landed on the platform with a crash.  His body sprang back up, and before he even had time to process it, he was flying towards the space right above Sonia.  He thrust as one final head came into view, catching it just before it made contact with Sonia and carrying it far enough away that its explosion didn’t reach her.

“Because I’ll always know

No matter what

You’ll all be with me”

As she played the penultimate note, each speaker fired a beam containing untold quantities of Noise, compressed into a precise attack that ripped away the shell protecting the core.  Sonia then pointed her guitar forward, and with one final note, she fired an even deadlier beam, converging with the others as they all mercilessly attacked the core. The energy generated began to expand, but only for a moment: a distortion slowly enveloped the core, bending and twisting into something like a black hole as Geo descended into view. He and Sonia nodded to each other. Drawing his sword, Geo shot forward, cutting past his encapsulated target faster than Sonia could see.  A gash appeared through the black hole. And then all the energy stored within the distortion erupted in one brilliant display, leaving behind a badly damaged core surrounded by disconnected clusters of Noise.

“No…” came King’s voice, though from where no one was sure.  “No…no!  I cannot fail…Noise CANNOT be beaten!”

Geo charged his buster.  Sonia ran forward.

“I’m…not…done!  I wield the power…of Meteor G!  I will kill EVERYONE!”

Just as Sonia leapt at the core, Geo took aim.

“This can’t be…!”

A punch and an energy blast struck the core at the exact same time.  Caught between such powerful forces, it finally gave out, crumbling into dust.  A powerful shockwave rippled out from it as it went.  And then, with its core gone, the Meteor Server collapsed.

I liked Kelvin Stelar fused with Omega-Xis (EM Wave Change). Can you do this character design in colors? Also, can you do Kazuma Cross-Fusion with Megaman.exe? It would be funny.

thanks, i didn't expect my designs would get a lot of likes 😅

well, i can try...let see what i can come up with

Happy Valentine’s Day was two weeks ago, @rockmiyabideusexmachina! 😭 I made this with my appreciation in mind and I guess with added apologies for the trouble I’ve caused you.
