Mandy Appears

Ane opened his eyes to a young him faced away from a young Lana on the bench in the park at night. "Ane, turn around." Young Lana begged.

"Oh, this memory again." Original Ane thought sighing.

"Why?" Young Ane asked.

"I want to ask you something. You don't have to such a jerk about it!" Lana scolded pouting.

"So loud." Young Ane complained as he turned to her. Lana smiled cutely making Young Ane blush. Present Ane smiled. "What do you want?" Young Ane asked before the dream suddenly fast-forwarded to the clapping that used to be at the end of the dream. Present Ane blinked in confusion.

"This is new." he thought as he turned to see a young him but with black hair, grey eyes wearing a black jacket, dark gray t-shirt under and light gray jeans. Present Ane frowned.

"Lana; who'd thought you'd become the Seame of somebody so pathetic." the dark Ane remarked before landing with a smirk. Young Ane and Lana frowned.

"Jack." Lana said as she clung onto Ane.

"Sup." Jack said; grinning. Present Ane shot awake to the morning light.

"That memory's still incomplete." he thought gulping before laying back down; sighing.

"You're awake." Lana remarked from besides the boy.

"Y-yeah." Ane replied exhaling. Lana eyed him observantly.

"Did you have a nightmare?" she asked.

"It's not important." Ane replied as he sat up. He and Lana were on his bed. Ane folded his arms and closed his eyes. "So can you explain why you're in my bed?" he then inquired.

"Well I was getting tired of sleeping in the living room." Lana replied. "Anyway; you better get up since you're going school today." the girl remarked as she poked Ane's nose.

"Why's that?" Ane asked.

"You weren't just out of it for a week; you didn't go to school for two more days after." Lana answered making Ane sigh.

"Fine." he then agreed as he watched outside where two birds flew across the sky.

Ane casually walked into class. "Look who it is!" a male voice yelled. Ane watched up to see a slim teen boy with light brown and spiky hair, dark brown eyes wearing the school attire standing next to a short teen boy with short, blonde hair, blue eyes wearing the same school attire and another teen boy who was chubby, had black hair, dark blue eyes and the school attire as well. "What is it Fletcher?" Ane asked the first boy.

"Don't "what is it" me, Ane!" Ane's classmate snapped; frowning.

"Where have you been all this time?" the chubby one yelled.

"Ene even said you became popular with the ladies!" the short one cried. Sweat came behind Ane's head.

"I-I've been busy with...stuff." he replied; laughing guiltily.

"Fletcher, Bob...he's been going all out behind our backs it seems." the short one remarked nodding.

"You're very right Rob." Fletcher said; nodding in agreeance.

"You guys have the wrong idea." Ane reassured. Rob came closer to Ane and raised an eyebrow.

"Eina's been missing school too." he hissed into the boy's ear.

"What is up with you." Ane said as he backed away.

"Forgive Rob; you should know he has a fling for the young mistress." Fletcher said as he held Rob back. The bell rang and Ane sighed relievedly before taking his seat. Fletcher came next to him; eyes shielded. "There's a new girl in our class who transferred in recently. I hear she's a cutie." Fletcher whispered; pushing his hair back dramatically.

"New girl...cute." Ane thought; holding his chin. "Could it be!" he continued thinking as he watched the doorway where Lana walked in and immediately smiled at him. "Why didn't you tell me!" Ane asked as he stood.

"It was supposed to be a surprise." Lana answered; squeezing onto the boy and poking him playfully. Ane blushed.

"Cl-class is about to start." he stammered. Lana nodded and took the seat next to Ane. A chill went up the boy's spine and he slowly turned to see Fletcher breathing down his neck predatorily. Ane turned back around quietly. "Oh boy." he thought. Ms. Goldenburg walked into the class and Ane smiled subtly. "Right; she's my homeroom teacher." he thought before Faith(Goldenburg) watched him and smiled. The boy saw a flash of her panty from their previous encounter and went red.

"Can I go to the restroom, Ms. Goldenburg?" Rob asked as he rose his hand. The teacher nodded and the boy ran out. Ms. Goldenburg eyed Ane and nodded to him as well.

"Huh?" Ane thought with a raised eyebrow. A female council member appeared in the door.

"You." she said watching Ane who waved as he paced out the next door. The council member paced after him. Eina who was sitting behind Ane watched Lana who shrugged.

Ane was panting as he stood in a corridor. "This again." Ane thought; sighing.

"Give up." the council member remarked.

"I might have to fight her here." Ane thought frowning before turning to the girl to receive an uppercut and then a kick which sent him flying. "What the hell!?" he asked; watching the girl who smirked.

"You think you're so smart. All of us cyborgs have a live camera installed in us so our master sees all that happens!" the girl yelled laughing. Ane stood up.

"So I should've done this undercover. Oh well; too late." he thought; wiping his mouth. The girl's eyes turned full red and lasers spat from them at Ane who spun above the attack and hopped across the wall to then kick the girl back. Her form glitched and revealed that she was actually Rob. Ane stared in disbelief and Rob grinned.

"Tazer!" Rob yelled before blasting Ane with a hand of electricity. Ane spun back; landing on his face. "Tis tis tis. Not so great now, Ane." Rob remarked as his fingers turned to blades and electricity surged through them.

"Shit, I can't move." Ane thought.

"Lightning Zab!" Rob shouted as he fired his hand at Ane.

"Forcefield!" a feminine voice shouted. A purple forcefield surrounded Ane; sparking Rob back. The cyborg frowned as he jumped back. The forcefield was fully around Ane and had cracked the roof which then caused rocks to fall. "Oops." the female voice said. A purple aura surrounded the debris and sent it aside. Ane weakly rose his face and saw a teen girl with long purple hair, golden eyes and a magnificent figure wearing a violet shirt and white skirt offering her hand to him. "You okay?" she asked while eyeing Rob.

"It's Mandy. I've had a crush on this girl for years!" Ane thought as he took her hand; gulping.

 "So you're the one sensei sent to help hunt these bastards?" the girl asked.

"So it's true. You're quite the beast with the ladies. Even Mandy is protecting the great Ane now." Rob said grinning. Mandy frowned.

"Why are you doing this Rob?" Ane asked.

"That isn't your friend, not anymore. He's been modified and isn't even human anymore." Mandy said gently; touching Ane's shoulder. He eyed her.

"What do you mean?" he queried.

"He's one of the "master's" top inventions. He isn't a cyborg; he's a complete robot." Mandy explained. Ane clenched his fists angrily and looked up at Rob who smirked.

"Who's this master?" Ane whispered.

"I'll tell you after. Right now our focus should be on ending him." Mandy replied. Ane glared at Rob.

"OUUU, scary." Rob taunted as electricity pumped through him; his metal body gleaming.
