Aishiteru

A/N: It's been sometime since I've posted anything here and I do apologize I've just been busy with life and having a case of writers block. However you can thank Megaman 9 for breaking that.

I started this the day the game came out and finally got everything beta'd and done last week. I know the ending of MM9 but I felt the ending to this game Rock another purpose to fight. Maybe I'll continue this one day but for now it's finished.

Rock stood looking at his opponent, that blue hair, those piercing eyes, the lovely slim figure. One part of him wanted to let loose, to completely in a blind rage, destroy the foe before him. The other part wanted to break down and cry, to run to her and embrace her, for her to tell him things we’re going to be alright. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

“So you’ve finally arrived Rock, I was wondering how long it would take for you to get here. “ Her lips curled into a mischievous smirk as he heard her communicating with him over his comm-link.

“Splash, why are you doing this?! You’re supposed to be rescuing people and protecting these waters, not attacking innocent people! Why are you trying to ruin father’s name?!” The elegant mermaid before him merely twirled her deadly trident and prepared to charge him.

“That is not your concern dear brother.”

---

Rock moaned softly as his hands caressed the soft T-shirt clad back of his lover as she laid on top of him her face buried in the crook of his neck planting rough kisses all over his skin. Her left hand snaked down his body and into his pants electing a gasp from him as he felt her hand wrap around his stiffening tool.

“Splash-chan...” The elegant mermaid lifted her head up and looked at his face. His eyes were half open and his cheeks red from arousal and embarrassment. She leaned down and smashed her lips against his before pulling away and removing her shirt.

“Does my little Rock need something?” The young hero could merely nod. Every time the two were together it was like this. She would leave him speechless and dominate every portion of his being, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Splash merely laughed softly and with one swift motion did away with his pants allowing his carefully crafted member to spring forth. She wasted no time in climbing over and mounting him moaning as she felt his warm flesh enter her vice-like tunnel causing another gasp to flee from his lips.

She lifted off of him only to let her hips drop down causing a pleasurable friction between the area of their union. Rocks hands clawed the dirt beneath him as Splash put her delicate hands on his chest to steady herself as she moaned loudly, bouncing up and down his shaft as Rock withered beneath her.

“Rock-kun, my breasts…” The young boy looked up at her and slowly forced his hands out of the sandy soil beneath him and upwards to grasp the luscious mounds above him. Each hand grasped one of the firm orbs and squeezing the soft flesh, causing a squeal of delight to emanate from her mouth

The two lovers continued their efforts quickly mounting as their lovemaking became more frantic, the pleasure and pressure mounting until finally something had to give. Splash cried out first her body quivering as her velvety walls pulsed around Rock’s shaft in turn causing a cry to leave his lips as he felt his own orgasm overtake him.

A small eternity later Splash collapsed onto his chest breathing hard as Rock slowly wrapped his arms around her. She nuzzled his cheek before planting a soft kiss on it, the two lovers silently basking in the afterglow of their rather unique mating. Something that should not by any means have even gone further than a kiss.

A small chirping sound broke the silence and an irritated growl left the elegant woman’s lips as she rolled over and grabbed a small device lying by them.

“Damn, capsized ship in the Indian ocean. “ Rock merely sighed and nodded sitting up and brushing the sand from his messy and sweaty hair.

“They need your help, I’ll be fine.” She smiled and kissed him softly before putting her shirt back on and diving into the water. Rock watched as she surfaced again her legs replaced with her trademark tail and fins as she changed into her armored form and swam away before warping to her destination. Rock’s inhuman eyes being able to detect the warp signature of his love as she set off to do what she was designed to do, save people.

---

Rock dodged another attack firing back with a shot from his buster as his opponent merely floated out of the way, effortlessly dodging his halfhearted attempt to harm her.

“Come on Rock, is that the best you got?” Another blast from her trident almost found its mark as he leapt away. “I’d expect more from the great hero of the humans, the traitor to your metallic brethren!” She dove towards him, ramming him against a wall before turning her tail slapping him across the face as she swam away readying her trident again.

Rock picked himself off the ground and fired again. He couldn’t let it end this way, he just couldn’t.

---

Rock curiously walked through his creator’s lab. Lately he had been hard at work building a new robot, but he had also banned anyone but Roll from entering. This only served to pique Rock’s interest as Dr. Light always asked him to assist in the creation of new robots considering his original function was to be a tool handling robot.

He peered from behind a shelf to gaze upon what the doctor was creating, unfortunately all he could see was a curtain of short blue hair falling from the back of the table it was being worked on. He started to get closure to get a better view of the new robot when he felt a broom smash firmly onto his head.

“No! Ecchi, get out of here!” Rock grabbed his head and turned to answer only to be greeted by another broom bash to the head from his sister Roll. He quickly started to head for the entrance only to hear the voice of his father and builder, sternly admonish his attacking sibling.

“Roll, enough of that leave Rock alone.” The broom wielding assailant almost instantly stopped looking surprised.

“But, Doctor Light you said…” Rock and Roll’s creator made his way out to the middle of the lab by the table and nodded at both of his children.

“I know Roll, but I think it’s time that Rock learned what is going on, he would have found out eventually.” Roll sighed and looked at her sibling with a rather guilty face before hanging her head. Rock wordlessly put an arm around her shoulder in a gentle hug signaling all was forgiven as both metal children walked over to the table.

What lay before them was a feminine figure with a plain white sheet covering the body leaving only the head and neck exposed. Rock curiously studied her face, his eyes taking in every meticulous detail and imperfection in the facial structure and skin. Dr. Light was not the most skilled Robot designer in the world for nothing. He knew one of the keys to making something appear lifelike was to not make it perfect but to instead purposely give a few minor flaws, and indeed she did look human, in short she was beautiful and Rock felt something inside him stir as he gazed upon her.

“My children,” Rock snapped out of his daze as he heard his creator address both him and Roll. “What I’m about to reveal to you does not leave this lab. If word of this got out everything I have worked for could be in danger, even the both of you.” Both children nodded and Light let out a nervous breath before pulling the sheet away.

Rock’s eyes widened as his cheeks flushed a bright red as he mentally corrected his self. She wasn’t beautiful, she was a goddess. Her body had an athletic build to it, her curves well defined by the apparent toned muscles she possessed. However what really drew his attention was the fact that unlike other robot masters created by the doctor including him and his sister roll, this one was anatomically correct. Protruding from her chest were two fleshy mounds each topped with small pink nipple and areola. His gaze traveled even further down past her hips and to a small but easily noticed slit. Indeed she was a work of art, a true masterpiece and testament to the doctor’s creative skills.

“This is Splashwoman, officially she is a search and rescue Robot Master, tasked with patrolling the seas and assisting any rescue operations as deemed necessary.” Rock once again turned his gaze from the gorgeous form in front of him to the face of his kind creator. “Unofficially though she is also the product of what is possibly my greatest experiment.” Rock’s face showed concerned as he saw his father sit down a rather worried look on his face, this was definitely unlike the good doctor.

“I have had more success with the two of you and your brother than I could ever dream of. You have intelligence, emotion, and even in you and Blues’ case free will Rock.” Rock nodded, it was true that he and his estranged brother could bend the three laws of robotics to a degree, but neither had tried to break them as of yet.

“However there is still something I have pondered. If a robot can feel emotion, can they feel some of the deeper human emotions such as love, rage, pleasure, and despair? Indeed the both of you have shown each of these to a degree, but at the same time you are very special, never have I been able to reproduce the same reactions from any of my other creations, part because I do not want to risk the possible consequences and part because I thought it was impossible.” Dr. Light’s gaze turned to rest upon the figure of his new daughter before he got up and proceeded to cover her naked body up with the same sheet her had pulled off of her. Like a father tucking his child in for bed.

“When I was asked to create a search and rescue robot I knew I had my chance to finally explore these possibilities. I requested that she be placed in my care and based here with us and the government was all too happy to agree. I eagerly set out to design this new experiment and felt the most fitting form due to her primary function would be of a mermaid, which would make her female.” The doctor took his seat again looking back at both of his children.

“This would also serve to represent the essence of life in the human race, the female, the child bearer and life giver. I found it rather appropriate as indeed this she is capable of giving a new form of life to all robots and to take the next step towards both races becoming equals.” Rock stood listening intently, indeed if his father’s dream came to pass then it would take another step towards robots more humane, however this would undoubtedly spark some controversy. Still something wasn’t right Dr. Light never had a problem challenging people’s views in the past. Why would he be so concerned now?

“Rock, the reason I hid her away from you wasn’t because of this, it’s because of I believe in order for one to be human, they must experience all life has to offer, the good and bad, pleasure and pain. That is why I gave her a unique feature, the ability to feel physical pleasure.” It took a moment for his creator’s words to sink in but once they did Rock’s mind but once they did even he felt a little uneasy.

“Doctor Light, you mean…” He merely nodded his head as he looked back towards Splashwoman as she lay on the work table.

“Indeed, I know it’s a difficult concept to digest. However Rock please know my intentions are the best, nothing less.“ Rock looked away slightly, his creator knew him too well. Unlike his sister Roll who had an understanding of the sides of good and evil, Rock himself had experienced both extremes and knew well what humans were capable of, even though he trusted the doctor more than anyone else even his mind couldn’t help but imagine him taking advantage of this situation and for that he felt foolish.

“That is why I only let Roll into the lab, so that I could have another person bear witness to my work and to ensure even my good intentions did not become malicious ones. “ Roll nodding blushing slightly herself. Rock felt a little relieved that even his creator would acknowledge the same fears he had.

“Rock I needed Roll’s help in building her, but I will need your help in nurturing her. Please watch after and protect her. Aid her in her battles whatever they may be. I do not like sending my children off to fight, but I do fear eventually Splash will be forced to do so. She has much potential, the ability to love and to express that love.” Rock nodded gazing over Splash’s form again before looking at Dr. Light.

“I promise father, I’ll treat her as my sister, I will care and protect her just as I do for Roll.”

---

Rock dodged another Laser Trident and retaliated with a Mega Buster shot right to her hand causing her to drop the weapon. She glared at him only to charge towards the surface and start to sing, drawing a swarm of robot fish to attack him. Rock steeled himself and began firing knowing he had to bring this battle to a close soon. He had to try and save her before he was forced to do the unthinkable.

---
Rock quickly thrust his tongue in and out of the cavern before him causing Splash to moan, one hand covering her mouth as she other held his head in place between her legs. Things had started out simple enough. He had merely gone outside to relax as he often did, just to enjoy nature, when he had heard the most beautiful singing his robotic ears had ever had the privilege to come upon. He followed the sound to see Splash, in her normal form sitting by the koi pond on that Dr. Light kept on the property. Somehow things had gone from there to his room and the rather obscene position the two were in, both having no idea what they were doing as they slowly fumbled their way through exploring each other’s bodies.

Compared to her, Rock was rather plain, have little to no distinguishing features save the lines clearly marking where his joints were. Still while he himself could feel no pleasure, he found some happiness in caressing and kissing her, amazed in finding when he touched certain spots her body shook and humor in just how high that lovely voice of her’s could go.

“R-rock… S-something…” He looked up pulling away slightly as he did, causing his tongue to suddenly drag across a small little bump near the top of her slit. Her hips suddenly bucked and her mouth opened in a silent gasp before a whimper slowly emerged and she shoved his face back down.

“D-don’t stop, R-right there.” Her voice was quivering as her body gently shook, her eyes shut tight as she bit her bottom lip, something seemingly building and swelling within her. Duty bound, Rock faithfully focused his attention on that one little spot and a few more gasps and moans later her hips bucked roughly as she let out a shrill cry, her body shaking as something overtook her. Finally her hand relaxed and let go of his hair allowing him to sit up. Her looked over her, concern on his face as she lay there panting heavily a smile on her lips.

“Rock is everything ok in there? I thought I heard a scream.” Rock froze as he heard the knock and his father’s voice. If he came in here the result could be catastrophic.

“I’m fine doctor, I merely fell that’s all.” Rock quickly looked at his sister, her face still had this glow about it, however her voice was even as if nothing had ever happened and she had indeed fallen.

“I see, very well just be more careful.” Rock breathed a sigh of relief as he heard footsteps heading down the hall. Splash sat up and wrapped her arms around him before kissing him gently, her bare chest pressing into his.

“That was close, next time we should do this away from the house.” Her lips curled into a mischievous smirk and Rock couldn’t help but feel something stir inside him again, a feeling of elation coming over him as he nodded.

“Yeah, next time.”

--

Rock leapt off the nearby wall and crashed into Splashwoman pinning her to the ground as he held her hands to the sides of her head.

“Splash please I don’t want to hurt you! Please just tell me what Wily did to you, just give me a sign!” Splash merely retaliated by throwing him off of her with her tail and swimming over to her trident picking it up and firing off a shot at Rock hitting him square in the chest, his armor cracking from the blow.

“Dear brother, don’t you get it. Dr. Wily had nothing to do with this! It’s father’s wish for us to rule over these ungrateful humans to show them how precious life truly is! We are like Adam and Eve the first two of our kind, together we can usher in a new age of prosperity!”

---

“Here’s that combat data you wanted.” Rock had just gotten back from a rescue mission with Splash, both having to unfortunately fight off a group of local pirates in the process, however Splash had made quick work of anything in her way and ended up actually saving him in the end. His father gave a heavy sigh and stood walking over and taking the data disc from his manmade son.

“I hate it when my children are forced to fight, but if so I’d rather study the results to see how I can make them safer for when they do have to fight.” Rock merely smiled and sat down in a nearby chair as the doctor inserted the disk into his computer and began pouring over it.

“So how is Splash doing? Have you noticed any changes or differences since our last talk?” Rock looked at his father and shook his head slightly. The two often talked about Splash’s progress in dealing with her emotions, and with the occasional pain and pleasure she felt. However he did not dare speak a word about their exploration into the sins of the flesh.

“No father, she is still learning to cope and discovering new feelings everyday but there have been no major breakthroughs to report.” Dr. Light nodded as his skillful and aged fingers flew across his keyboard. Rock merely sat silent, something was bugging him, but he wasn’t quite sure how to word the question without possibly endangering his and Splash’s relationship. He needed to be very careful.

“Doctor, there is something, that has been bothering me lately. Something Splash said.” Dr. Light merely nodded indicating for his son to continue. “Do you remember when I had told you Splash had figured out how to… pleasure herself, as you put it.” The doctor’s fingers froze as he turned and looked at his son. This was the moment of truth for Rock, if he could just word this right.

“Well she recently told me that it feels like something is missing, like there’s some part of her that’s just not there.” Dr. Light nodded and looked right into his son’s eyes, causing Rock to shift uncomfortably.

“Well that may be because she is, think back to your studies of human physiology. Both male and female are integral for the human race to survive. Two halves of a whole needed to make another life. It may be that Splash is realizing she does not have a significant other.” Rock nodded softly as the doctor turned back around writing something down. “While individually they can survive to thrive they need to come together. Not just to pass on their DNA to the next generation, but to be complete emotionally and physically. There is no robot capable of fulfilling that role and no human would dare take on the responsibility in this day and age.“ Rock merely sat there, unsure of what to say as it all sank in. He finally had an answer for Splash, but it was one that might only fill her with despair, knowing she essentially was alone, and the only of her kind.

“Doctor, is she truly going to be incomplete? Didn’t you design someone to be her companion?” The doctor merely shook his head as he went back to deciphering and decoding the data.

“I thought of doing such a thing, however with such an untested concept it would be dangerous to build two prototypes to test. Also I was only allowed to create one rescue robot, thus eliminating any chance to create a second one to accompany her through life. My hope is that she will choose a companion herself and find a way to cope with her feelings of emptiness. Perhaps she can be fulfilled by being loved and appreciated by someone.” That did make sense. Splash had told him she would much rather him pleasure and hold her than her doing it herself. Still to go through life with no one like you was unthinkable. No he couldn’t allow this to happen.

“Father, Is there a way you can make me like her. Is there a way I can feel what she feels?” Once again the wise scientist turned to face his son, surprise on his face as he stared at him.

“Rock I understand you care for her like a brother should and I am grateful. However even if you were to become a robot just like her, you cannot force her to accept you as her other, as her mate, and even if she did how can you be sure that you will be able to accept her?” Rock merely shook his head standing

“Please father I don’t think its fair she should have to go through life alone and you know you can trust me to know my limitations. If there’s anyone qualified to become her equal it’s me. Besides… I am curious as to what these feelings are myself.” Dr. Light sighed and shook his head softly as Rock held his breath waiting for his answer.

“I do not know Rock, I need to think about this and so do you. Once I do this I can’t reverse it. You’ll be stuck like that forever; there will be no going back.”

---

Another Laser Trident struck true this time shattering Rock’s helmet. The pieces fell away from his head revealing his spiky black hair which floated about in the water as he dodged another blast from above. He growled and fired off a stream of shots. Was there really no other way, would he be forced to kill her or die?

---

Rock waited nervously as he stood on the beach. He was dressed in a blue T-shirt and a pair of jeans, casual wear for him when not fighting or helping Dr. Light and right now he needed to relax, he needed to be calm, despite the fact he was more nervous than he had ever been.

“Rock, what is it? You look like you’re going to jump into a magma pit.” Rock finally understood what the saying ‘nearly jumping out of your skin’ meant as he felt he nearly did that. He heard Splash’s gentle laugh as she walked over and wrapped her arms around his neck, tilting her head slightly.

“So, why did you call me out here? You usually don’t initiate these little sessions of ours.” That was true, Splash would usually lure him out of the house somehow and they would end up rolling around on the grass or sand, whatever was handy at the time, as he pleasured her. However Rock had good reason for not wanting to wait for that.

“Well… um… I have a present for you.” Splash gave her ever noticeable smirk and let him go as she folded her arms across her chest, waiting. Rock nervously reached into his pocket and pulled out something before placing it in her now awaiting hand.

The present was a pair of seashells fashioned into a pendant. A small yet durable titanium chain ran through the bottom of it where the two halves were joined together. Slowly she opened up the pendant to see a picture of the both of them sitting by the seashore. It was one of Splash’s favorite pictures of the two, taken during a family outing to a nearby beach. However what caught her eye was the inscription that rested in the other half of the pendant.

To my dear sister whom I will always cherish.

She closed the pendant and held it close to her chest before walking over and tightly hugging him as she kissed his neck. It wasn’t a lust filled embrace but one of deep gratitude and gratefulness, one of love.

“Thank you Rock, thank you.” That was all that needed to be said, and Rock could only smile, if he could even just do something this small to make her happy, it was worth it. He honestly felt he would give anything he could to please her, his dear Splash-chan.

---

Rock’s systems were blaring at him his structural integrity was only at 23%, his system energy down to 12%. Already his left arm was dead courtesy of a trident thrust to it. Time was running out, soon the immense pressure of the water around him would crush his body. He wouldn’t have to worry about Splash’s attacks doing that. It was now or never he had to stop this or die trying.

---

Splash cooed softly as she felt Rock caress her shoulders, his lips softly dancing along her neck. She softly caressed his hair as buried her face in it inhaling his scent. Suddenly she felt him stiffen slightly and opened her eyes pulling away to look at him.

“Rock, are you alright?” Rock just blushed softly and looked away saying nothing. Splash looked down and noticed her knee was brushing against his groin. Slowly she moved it again getting the same response, and feeling something press back against her. Slowly she laid him down and began to remove his jeans causing him to quickly sit up in an attempt to stop her.

“Splash wait I…!” Rock’s outburst came too late as splash removed the garment and gasped. Where there should be nothing, there was something. A beautiful flesh covered shaft jutted out, with a pink bulbous head crowning it. Slowly she reached out and touched it causing his breath to catch as she felt the stiff and warm appendage. She looked back at him only to see his head turned in embarrassment, as if waiting for her to berate him for this change.

“Why Rock?” Two simple words, one very important question. Rock kept his gaze away from her, unable to face his sibling.

“I… I didn’t want you to be alone. Father said that the reason you feel incomplete is that you are the only one of your kind… you needed another.” Silence, nerve racking silence. That was all that followed until finally he felt her hands turn his head and her lips softly placed upon his. He opened his eyes to see hers looking at him, happiness in her gaze as she softly cried tears of joy.

“I’ve never been alone Rock, I’ve always had you.” That familiar feeling returned and he couldn’t help but lean up and kiss her again. Indeed there was nothing he wouldn’t give for her, even his own body was hers. Could this feeling he had for her all along, a feeling different from those towards Roll or even his father, be love? Splash eagerly kissed him back running her fingers through his hair again, till she suddenly broke the kiss, that ever recognizable smirk playing across her lips again.

“Well since you went through all the trouble to do this for me, it’d be a shame for such a gift to go to waste.” Rock merely blushed bright red, having an idea as to what she was implying but not real clue what she going to do. Suddenly a wave of pleasure shot through him as he felt her hand slowly grasp his shaft slowly start to stroke it. He groaned and let his eyes roll back as he instantly surrendered to her electing a giggle from her sweet mouth.

A sweet wonderful feeling started to build within him as he felt her continuing to play with his tool. Suddenly though the feelings stopped and Rock opened his eyes, confused. He barely got them open before he felt and indescribable warmth encircle his member. He felt Splash’s naked hands press against his chest as he felt something tight and hot stroking him now as well as hearing several loud and pleasurable moans escape his sister’s lips.

“R-Rock… This is… amazing!” Once again the renowned hero tried to open his eyes, succeeding this time despite the pleasure. What he saw forever burned into his memory and would stay with him till the day of his death. Splash, his lover, his other, had somehow inserted his penis into herself. As she bounced upon it, giving both of them unimaginable pleasure he could see that they were joined, they were indeed one body.

Splash’s movements started to become more urgent as things went on, and Rock gripped the ground beneath them, as if trying to contain something. If this was the same pleasure he gave her, then perhaps humans were not as wrong as he thought for coveting their mates. Indeed he could think of nothing else but the beautiful woman above him and the wonderful feelings coursing through them both and yet it seemed as if there’s something more to come.

All too suddenly that something came, specifically Rock as his body spasmed and shook. His optics whited out and somewhere in the distance he could hear Splash cry out. After what seemed like hours his vision finally returned and he opened his eyes to see his partner lying on top of resting, a content and glowing smile on her face.

“Rock… that was amazing, thank you.” She softly kissed him before resting her head against chest. He reached up and softly wrapped his arms around her, content to remain like this for as long as she wanted. Somewhere in the back of his mind, a very dangerous thought began to form as he softly stroked her back. Slowly it progressed into a feeling until finally he built up the courage to open his mouth and let one simple word slip out.

“Aishiteru…” Splash slowly looked up at him and smiled before nuzzling his chest, she said nothing back nor made any other acknowledgement of his remark, and still this was enough for him. He’d be content knowing that she knew just how much he treasured her.

---

The two warriors stared each other down, both heavily damaged and exhausted. Rock could feel his body screaming at him to get out of there, to escape and come back another day, but there would not be a tomorrow. There was only today and what needed to be done currently.

“Splash, please… if we don’t stop, one of us will die!” Splash just smirked, through her own pain. Her helmet had been blow half off by a stray buster shot and her blue hair floated gently in the water where it was free.

“Well then, we better finish this now! I’ll end it with this final attack!” She brought her tried up and charged right at him, trying to impale him on it. Rock clenched his fist as he raised his buster one more time. A flash of plasma and a blue of blur collided as a cry echoed throughout Rock’s com-link. Searing pain shot through his leg as her trident impaled him in the shin, damaging his leg to the point it was immobile. He turned and saw her lying on the ground slowly rolling over onto her back. The shot had hit her square in the chest destroying the armor there and burning away the flesh to reveal her metallic frame underneath. She looked at him smirking still through the pain, knowing full well what was about to happen.

“Ai… shi… teru… Rock…” Rock stood there frozen as he heard the phrase leave her lips for the first time and sadly the last time. A moment later a white light enveloped her as the reactor which gave her life finally went critical and vaporized her, leaving nothing behind. Slowly he sank to his knees, in disbelief. She had truly loved him, but if so why? Why fight, why turn against their father?! Why why why?!

“I-I didn’t mean…. She… she… SPLASH!”

---

Rock sat outside, by the pond holding his lover’s trident in his hands. The damage to his body had been repaired by Auto as best as could be. Only his father could truly repair him though. However the one thing that could never be fixed was his shattered heart. He had killed her, he had failed in his vow to protect her.

“Rock…” He didn’t even turn knowing full well who it was. The only question was why? Couldn’t they just leave him to wallow in his own self-pity?

“Rock I know you’re upset but… there’s something you should know.” He didn’t move or say anything, not even making a sound. What could he possibly need to know, he fought and killed her it was as….

“She was scheduled to be decommissioned… father had tried to appeal but they felt she served her mission…” Rock just shut his eyes tighter to try and stem the flow of tears. So she was dead either way maybe he was destined to be alone after…

“Rock…” He felt two small arms wrap around him as Roll, his sister, hugged him lovingly. “I think she chose to rebel because… she wanted you to be the one to kill her. She wanted you to be able to let go. She never hurt anyone, even when she rebelled she never harmed any humans or caused damage to the sea which she loved.” He looked up at her, his eyes red and puffy from the endless stream of tears that seemed to fall.

“Rock, I know how you both felt about each other and what you did, me and father both knew and yet we didn’t interfere or do anything because we felt that we shouldn’t interfere with your love for each other. Trust me Splash loved you, more than you can ever know perhaps.” Rock just shook his head and buried it in his sister’s chest, unable to believe the harsh reality that his lover would put him in such a situation, that his Splash-chan would for him to murder her.

---

The next day, as the sun slowly rose into the sky to bring about another day, Rock stood on the roof of his home, Splash’s trident in hand as he looked the weapon over. The last memento she left him, her last gift.

“So you still don’t believe that she was a traitor I take it.” Rock didn’t even turn to face the voice, hanging his head as the only sign of acknowledgement.

“I can’t Blues… I just can’t believe she’d do this to me.” The eldest child of light just scoffed and turned to leave.

“Fine, do as you want, but be aware the road you are taking will be a very painful one. You won’t like what you’ll find out.” Before Rock could even ask what he meant, his brother was gone. Rock only shook his head and stared out at the rising sun as he set the trident down beside him.

“I don’t care, I can’t accept the reality that she would do something so selfish. I know Wily had something to do with this, with father’s arrest, and this time he has gone too far. I swear, I will avenge you Splash… koi…” He took one last look at the trident laying beside him and for a moment he could has sworn he saw her lying there instead, beside him, supporting him as she always had. He looked up to the sky and wiped a few fresh tears from his eyes before teleporting off to continue the fight. He would succeed and he would save his creator, simply because that’s what she would have wanted, and that’s all that mattered to him.
