Prototype: MN 10

Morning.

Don't you just love that pic? It's so cute! Just the original and the new. Should I put Megaman and his band of crazies in this book? Let me know in the comments. (I'll post it with the next chapter.)

Cryosphere woke up to the sound of murmuring and whispers. She then realized she was still in Eli's pillow fort. Looking down she saw the little robot still curled up against her. Grinning underneath her mask she carefully unhooked herself from his hug and set him down gently. Pushing off the roof of the fort she peeked out to see a light coming from the next room across. Carefully she replaced the roof and made sure Eli was still asleep before setting off down the hallway to the ominous light. "If this were a horror movie something would probably jump out at me right about now. Though if it were a prank on me I'd just consider it cold. Heh, that's a good pun. I'll have to save that one for a later date. Maybe I co- Oh, I'm here." Cryo's train of thought ended abruptly. She had arrived at the room.

She pushed the door open to see Seismic, Battalion, Pyrogen, Countershade and Brandish all crowded together looking at something. She began to sneak through the legs of the others and stood in front of Pyrogen. "So what are we looking at?" She asked with false innocence. Everyone, save for Brandish and Countershade, jumped back in fright with a shriek of panic. "Cryo! You gave us a heart attack!" Pyro shouted. "You don't have a heart Pyro." Brandish reminded him, "Yeah and Eli is asleep you big dummy. So shut it." Cryo put in. "ASLEEP? IT IS ONLY ELEVEN HUNDRED HOURS!" Battalion shouted. "Well some people need sleep Bat. Unlike a certain sneak I know." Brandish muttered the last part. "An' just what the hell is tha' supposed t' mean mister "I'm a master swordsman b'cause I look like a ninja"?" Countershade snapped back angrily waving his sniper arm in Brandish's face. "Nothing. Just that some people do not enjoy having cameras watching their every move Shade!" "Why I Oughta-"

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" Seismic yelled. Everyone shut up. "Thank you. Now Cryo this is what we were looking at." Seismic said as he passed a photo to Cryo. "Right then lets see what- EEK!" Cryo dropped the photo and ran into a corner. It was at that moment that Aviator flew into the room to see what the commotion was about. "Some of us need beauty sleep you know!" He announced as he hovered into the room, "Unless there is a smoking hot news story going on of course." He added swiftly. "What's going on then?" Aviator asked taking in the scene before him. "WELL LIEUTENANT AVIATOR. BRANDISH AND COUNTERSHADE ARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER AGAIN. SERGEANT PYROGEN HAS BEEN WATCHING THE SPECTACLE WITH ME. AND CORPORAL CRYOSPHERE IS IN THE CORNER WITH A HEAVY BLUSH BECAUSE OF THE PHOTO OFFICER SEISMIC HAS BEEN SHOWING US." Battalion reported. Aviator raised an eyebrow. "So.... What exactly was on that photo?" He asked. "See for yourself Avi." Brandish stated as he handed the photo to Countershade who in turn handed it to Aviator. "So what's got Dear little Cryosphere so fired up?" Aviator took a look at the Photograph and felt his heart melt out of his chest.

It showed young little Eli cuddled up into Cryosphere's chest, with a look of pure content on his young face. Cryo looked pretty happy too, she had her mask off (A rare sight) and a small smile graced her face. Aviator had no words to describe this. Instead he flew in a rapid circle, and shouted "I must show this on my channel! I shall go upload this right now!" He began to fly out the room but didn't get far. As he found himself frozen solid in a block of ice.

Eli woke up in his pillow fortress. He looked around for Cryosphere but couldn't find her. He did find her mask though, and decided to put it on. Y'know, just to see what it felt like. Eli took off his headphones and pulled the mask over his head. The first thing he noticed was that were only two eye-holes on the inside instead of the four that were shown on the outside. "Huh. Looks like miss Cryo has two eyes then. I guess she doesn't have four like I thought. Hey I wonder what everyone else is doing."  Eli pulled himself out of his pillow fort and dropped off of Seismic's chair. He began looking for someone to help him figure out what you do in the morning. Eventually he found Beck in the kitchen doing.... Something. He was putting something from a bowl onto a small shovel and then putting it in his mouth. What was this activity? This question stumped Eli until Beck noticed him staring. Beck smiled and pushed the bowl to the side and gestured towards Eli to join him.

"Noticed you staring. What's up?" Beck asked. Eli cocked his head to the side like a confused dog. "What were you doing?" Eli asked. Beck's eyes widened slightly, "You've never eaten before? How have you survived throughout your life?" Eli looked away in embarrassment. "I've never actually done anything of my own accord before. I... I only walked for the first time yesterday." Eli looked at his feet sadly. Beck gave the small robot a pat on the shoulder and lifted him up onto the chair adjourning the kitchen counter. Eli frowned at the action as he could of easily sat down on the chair himself. Instead he decided to watch Beck as he set about making something in a bowl. Beck poured some hot water into the bowl and mixed it around a bit, he then pushed the bowl in front of Eli and handed him a small shovel like piece of cutlery. Eli then looked at Beck with an expression of helplessness. Beck then mumbled sorry and took the piece of cutlery from Eli and scooped up some of the mixture from the bowl.

"Open your mouth Eli." Beck commanded. Eli shrugged and opened his mouth and nearly retched when Beck shoved the cutlery into his mouth. "Close." Beck commanded again. Eli complied and felt Beck slowly pulling the cutlery out of his mouth, leaving the mixture in Eli's mouth. Eli could feel the mix in his mouth and it soon began to feel uncomfortable. "You need to swallow it Eli." Beck commented seeing his younger sibling's discomfort. Eli nodded and gulped down the mushy liquid. It tasted like... well nothing really. Eli frowned, it was not unpleasant just strange. Beck saw this and reached for some sugar. Pouring some in he mixed it and gave another spoonful to Eli. Eli tasted the sweetness and his face lit up at it. He eagerly grabbed the spoon from Beck and tried to shovel some more of the stuff into his mouth, with less then success. Beck laughed and turned the spoon around so that Eli would actually get something from the bowl. Still not quite successful, Eli gave the spoon back to Beck so he could feed him. Beck complied happily and continued spoon feeding Eli.

What neither of them saw however was Countershade hiding in the doorway filming them. Lowering his camera Shade's face split into a huge grin. "Heh. Some Blackmail will do me good. Just try an' insult me no' little doggies."

What Countershade didn't see was that Aviator was also filming the duo in the kitchen. "This is going to get me some good ratings indeed."
