บท 23: Chapter 23 - A Date with the Fangs
"That movie was awesome!" Scootaloo cheered. "I know what I'm naming a cat if I ever get one."
Micro chuckled at that, seeing her happy. He liked the movie to, but it was much nicer seeing her smile like she was.
"I'm just sorry that one jerk sat in front of you and you had to move. I mean, the movie has been out for weeks, how was the theater that packed?"
"It's fine," Scootaloo said blushing as she leaned against him a bit. "I didn't mind my new seat."
Micro turned pure crimson at that. A tall guy sat in front of Scootaloo and wouldn't listen when they tried to get him to shift seats. At first, Micro was planning on switching seats with her, but she insisted that wouldn't work as he would be stuck not seeing anything. That was when another viewer who apparently was getting annoyed at them talking about it hissed that if they really that worried about it to just sit in his lap. Obviously it was meant to poke fun at them but Scootaloo just huffed and planted herself in his lap, much to both of their embarrassment after they realized what exactly was happening.
"Oh," he muttered. "Well as long as you didn't mind…"
"Did you?" she asked, a little worried. Micro smiled at her.
"No...I rather enjoyed it." She was slightly shocked at his bluntness, before grinning at him.
"So you liked me rubbing against you like that?"
"Only as much as you liked rubbing against me."
The two chuckled before they heard a voice from a nearby alley.
"Well isn't that just cute."
The two turned and saw a pair of figures stepping out of the shadows. One had purple leather pants and a black muscle shirt while the other wore red leather pants and an orange muscle shirt. The first was blonde and the other had orange hair.
"Oh no…" Micro said.
Fume
(Dragon Fangs Enforcer)
Lv 18
Garble
(Dragon Fangs Enforcer)
Lv24
"You know these guys Micro?" Scootaloo asked.
"In a way," he said. Looking around the area, he saw the streets were mostly empty. No one was facing them. No cars...one store worker in the window. 'Flip the sign damn it!'
"Oh yeah," Fume said. "We know four eyes here. He smacked me around with a frying pan!"
"And you nearly killed me," Micro said, pushing Scootaloo protectively behind him. At first she seemed like she wanted to protest but the look on Micro's face told her it was not the time for pride like that, especially with her lower level and lack of training.
"Well don't worry," Garble said grinning. "We won't be doing that. At least not until we lure Spike to us. Though the girl...well...if she liked rubbing against you maybe with a real man…"
It was at that moment the store owner flipped his sign to close and closed the blinds. No one else was in sight.
'ID CREATE!' Micro shouted in his mind. The world around them changed, but the ID wasn't empty. Zombies were lumbering throughout the city. Scootaloo gasped as she saw the creatures, but knew Micro wouldn't have summoned them if he didn't know what he was doing. Garble and Fume looked around in shock a moment before smirking up at Micro.
"So you learned some new tricks," Garble said. He and Fume shifted into their Dracokin forms. That got a reaction from Scoots.
"They…"
"Won't lay a claw on you," Micro assured her. Before either of the enforcers realized what he was doing a small group of clones charged them, ruler's and billy clubs drawn. Micro grabbed Scoots and they Blinked to the roof of a nearby building. Micro peered over the side and saw the Dracokin disposing of his clones.
"I thought they might last at least a bit longer…"
"Who are those two!" Scootaloo asked in panic. Micro pulled out his kabuki mask and looked at her.
"Members of a dangerous gang. Not my story to tell, but let's just say they want Spike and want me as a hostage. They were actually the reason I began working on my abilities." He withdrew the billy club and held out to her as he drew the dagger. He also tossed a pokeball and out popped Litten.
Litten Lv9
The Fire Cat Pokémon
Moves:
Growl
Ember
Lick
"Litten. I want you to rain down Embers on any nearby Zombie, but don't draw attention to you two. You understand?" Litten nodded. He turned to Scoots. "Stay here. When you see something happening with the Zombies, get as far away from it as you can."
"But I…" She looked up and saw him looking at her with pleading eyes. "...Ok. Just...don't die…" Micro tried for a reassuring smile.
"I try to avoid that when I can." He slipped on his mask and in an instant he Blinked back down to the street. He decapitated any Zombie he passed as he charged the two Dracokin.

Don't grip it too tight, but not too loose.
'Is now really the time for lessons!' He ran through the smoke of a clone dispelling and slashed Fume across the chest. Sparks of metal on scales shot off but the magic of the blade allowed it to pierce through a little and cut into him. Before the Fang Enforcer could do anything Micro raised a hand and fired a decent sized Magic Arrow into Fumes face, knocking him to the ground.
Right!
With a quick thought, Micro brought the microbots out of his inventory and formed a shield just in time to block Garble's claw.
"What the hell!" Garble growled. "There's no way you got this powerful in a week!"
"Never underestimate the dedication of a grinder," Micro spat back as the bots surrounded Garble's arm and swung him into the alley wall. With a roar and swipe of his claw, Garble ripped the microbots away and shot a blast of fire at Micro. It was impossible to see the smirk that rose on Micro's face. He raised a hand and caught the fireball before redirecting it over his shoulder when Chara warned him of Fume approaching. The purple Dracokin was caught off guard and flew back again.
"You son of a-" A column of earth shot up and uppercutted the bastard as Micro knocked him into the street to a group of Zombies. This gave Micro time to focus on fume who was trying to pull himself up again. Walking up Micro commanded his microbots to hold the enforcer down, forcing the joints straight so he couldn't get any leverage.
Gonna kill him?
'Gonna make him suffer.' An almost sadistic aura coated the thought.
Huh, looks like Neon Heart didn't pull her sadism from out of nowhere after all.
Micro ignored her as he coated his foot in rock.

He brought his foot forward, straight into Fumes crotch.
"Raaaaawwwwrrrr!" The Dracokin cried out as a gout of flame shot from his mouth. Fast as thought, the bots hoisted Fume up by his neck and slammed him into the alley's fire escape. A quick application of fire melted the metal around him.
"Does this count as modern art?" He asked jokingly. He heard a loud roar behind him and turned in time to see Garble rip through the surrounding Zombies, the smell of charred flesh permeating the air.
"Screw trying to use you as a hostage! You are my next meal!" Micro looked left and right down the street and smirked.
"I guess that puts us at 50," he said, knowing Litten took enough down.
"And what's that supposed to…" a loud rumbling was heard and the two of them turned to look and see a Legion Zombie lumbering towards the battle. "What the f-"
Before he could finish, Micro took the chance to use earth magic to encase his wings in stone while his microbots wrapped around him.
"Take care of that would you?" Micro said as the bots threw him toward the beast while he Blinked to the roof with Scootaloo who was looking at the giant in shock. "You ok?"
"Huh…." Scootaloo managed to snap out of her stun. "Yeah, I'm good…." she looks at him, seemingly awestruck. "You...you just...beat those two."
"Well almost," Micro said as he looked toward the alley, seeing Fume was still stuck and unconscious. "Garble may still be a threat."
"But you sent him to face that thing?!" Scootaloo said. Micro looked at her.
"Scoots, I could solo fight that thing when I was a good few levels below him. He may be beaten up a bit as he won't be used to facing it…"
A loud tremor went through the ground and they turned to see the Legion Zombie with its legs blown off. Micro summoned his microbots to his side and formed a platform for him to float over to the fight scene.
"Not so tough," Garble panted, clearly having been fighting his hardest. He reared back, ready to try for another fire blast to the things head when the Legion Zombie swings its arm and smashed into Garbles back, the stone shards encompassing his wings breaking and ripping through them. "Aaaaaaaah!"
Micro winced at that.
'Well...he won't be flying anywhere again.'
Good. So you gonna kill him?
'I think losing something you've probably been able to do all your life is a better form of suffering.'
You just don't want to kill…
Micro sighed before charging up what remained of his MP. A powerful Magic Arrow pierced the Legion Zombies head and killed it. Garble, still writhing in pain turned to him. The kabuki masked face was looking down at him.
"Leave my friends and I alone!" Micro growled. With a single thought, the bots grabbed Garble by the legs and dragged him along his already torn up back and flung him into a wall. Seeing the Dracokin fall unconscious like his friend, he picked him up with the bots and carried him back to the alley where he threw him into a dumpster while doing the same to Fume. Whistling as he did so, he waited a bit as his MP restored enough to use a bit of fire to melt the lid of the dumpster a bit and seal it shut.
"That should hold them a bit." With that finished, he rose up to the roof again via the micro bots and was tackled hugged by Scootaloo.
"You're ok," She said softly. "You're ok…"
Micro was a bit shocked by this but smiled softly as he hugged her back.
"Yeah. I'm ok." They stayed hugging on the roof for a bit before Micro raised his hand and broke the ID before reforming an empty one. The microbots lifted the two up as they hugged and carried them off toward Scootaloo's street. "I'm sorry our celebration was ruined."
"No...don't be," Scootaloo said, looking up at him as the bots set them down. "Seeing you fight to defend me...that was…" she seemed at a loss for words by Micro smirked.
"I get it," he said. She looked up into his eyes and leaned forward, her lips briefly touching his. He was shocked by this but soon returned it. When they separated, Scoot was smiling up at him.
"Remember that when you are with Fluttershy on Saturday." Micro blushed a bit at that as he broke the ID.
"I may be able to cancel it if you…"
"No. You said you would go, and I'm not making you go back on your word. Just remember…" she pecks him on the cheek before walking off with a slight sway in her hips. Micro watched her go with a grin.
Huh...I wonder…
'What is it now Chara?'
Well, even in my world there were dating sim games, and while I was never supposed to play…
'Get to the point Chara.'
Well, Scoots doesn't seem to mind you going out with Fluttershy as well...does this seem to be the start of a harem route or something?!
Micro blushed a bit at that as the images floated into his head of many of the girls he's met so far. He eventually shook his head and thought back at Chara while he entered another empty ID.
'If that were the case you would probably be a part of it to.' As the microbots lifted him into the air.
Well you are well hung
Micro lost control of his bots and fell to the earth as Chara laughed at his expense.
