Mari had already been settled into Brightwing Lane, it was a nice place but the apartment's were slightly cramped for her tastes. Though having an nine foot tree following you around didn't help things either, thankfully she was often able to have Grey Bark stand out on the balcony taking in the sun. Mari had nothing planed for the day, and her monsters kind of knew that as well. Since many of them were lazing about in some fashion around the house, Augustine had taken a spot on the couch with Sapphire on the opposing end. Rarge was on the floor in the living room just laying there watching the television, you could see the occasional argument about channels to watch between the three of them. Nephite had found a spot near the heater and was warming itself up in front of it, which Mari thought a little odd that a skeleton got could but maybe it needed it's heart warm.

She looked around and spotted Grey Bark on the balcony as usual, but she couldn't sport Storm anywhere in the house. She looked around and saw the front door was open "Oh no, Storm" she said as she ran out the door to try and find Storm. Meanwhile Storm was walking about outside looking at all the people and objects out there, some people who were walking there pets got a jump as a tiger cub came running over wanting to play or race. Many of them pulled away and headed in another direction, which made Storm sad as she didn't have anyone new to play with.

Mari was running down the stairs and out into the street, calling Storm's name as loud as she could. Starting to make her way around while looking for her friend, she knew Storm could take care of himself but he was also very playful. And could easily get into trouble unintentionally. But Storm continued to approached people in the area, especially those with pets of some kind, while Mari continued to look for Storm hoping he wasn't causing anyone any trouble.

Settling within the city interior of the Life Sphere was quite difficult due to the fact that he has little to no currency that can even make up for the prices of renting a home in Brightwing Lane. Thankfully, since he's going to be helping this world for a while; he was given free rental for his stay. What a load of his shoulders! Now, he can rest in a bed instead of a box in an alleyway. Instead of taking a nap, he decided to go and play with his dog Rush. The poor canine hadn't have his daily play time ever since the both of them were back on Earth, maybe this'll be a chance to actually spend some time with the robot dog. "Rush; you remember how to play catch, right?" He asked the robot dog, who nodded his head in the process. It's a good thing that the satellite didn't took most of Rush's abilities. "Alright then..." Mega's Buster transformed into his hand as a Metal Blade materializes out of thin air. "Catch!"

With that, Rock softly threw the Metal Blade at non-dangerous speed--it'll be absolutely easier and safer for Rush to catch it. Huh, seems that the Metal Blade has been thrown further than Rock wanted it to be; either that Mega exerted some power into that throw, or a gust of wind pretty much... Uh oh, Rush is still following it. "Rush, don't go too far!" Rush came back with the Metal Blade in it's mouth, good thing that the dog was pretty fast. Then, the robot dog's ears pointed straight up, hearing a sound of other people's pets barking, hissing, etc from a distance... "Wait, you hear something, boy?" Rock asked, going over to pat the dog when... it rushed over to the direction where all the commotion is about.  "Rush? Rush?! Where are you going??" Mega Man shouted, running after his robotic dog.

Rush can be seen running through pedestrians while carrying the Metal Blade in his mouth. After several seconds have passed, he took notice of a tiger cub towards his position. Normally, Rush's canine instincts would have told him to go and chase after the cub since it was part of the cat family. However, noticing the collar on it's neck only meant one thing. This tiger belonged to somebody. Mega Man; who was finally catching up to his companion, slowed down the pace and said-- "Jeez, Rush; what's got into yo--... Oh hey, a tiger cub!" Mega Man kneel down on the ground in front of the cub, holding out his hand while saying-- "Don't worry, I won't hurt ya...!"

As Storm was playing with the passers by, a strange dog come running up with a blade in it's mouth. Storm got a little defensive at first, thinking the animal may want to hurt him. Since coming to this planet, Storm had done mostly fighting and very little racing. So he was a little jumping to say the least, but as the dog got closer and stopped without being hostile. Storm calmed down and looked at the funny dog, it's colour scheme reminded it of the Howlfire's back home. Mari herself had two of them, one was coloured very similar to Rush here and the other was exotic and coloured in snow tones.

When the funny looking boy came over, Storm tilted his head slightly because he wasn't sure if it was a boy or some kinda of machine. He acted like a boy, by saying he won't hurt him and acted like most people did when Storm wandered off from Mari. Storm gave the robotic boy's hand a sniff, and did get the smell of oil and other mechanical type smells. Meanwhile Mari was still looking around for Storm, yelling out at the top of her lungs as she rounded a corner. Storm spun round when he heard his name, Mari looked over and saw Storm standing near a strange boy and his equally strange dog.

Running over, Mari got on one knee and lightly bopped Storm on the nose. It wasn't hurtful, but was meant to illustrate that Storm shouldn't have run off. Storm looked down and tried to suck up to Mari be rubbing up against her leg like a typical cat would. Standing up Mari bowed briefly to Mega Man "I'm sorry if he caused you any trouble, he's just very playful and a tad mischievous" explained Mari in an apologetic tone.

"It's quite alright, he wasn't causing any kind of trouble when we both found him." Mega Man quietly glared at Rush, hoping that the dog didn't scare the cat before the Robot Master's arrival. Rush looked back, giving him a 'I didn't do anything!' look; aside from being hostile to cat, especially robotic cats like Tango, Rush was a pretty passive dog unless he was provoked. Storm really didn't look hostile to begin with, nor would Rush ever attack by any means necessary, Mega Man and Roll trained that canine well. "Anyways..." Rock took his attention back towards the pink-haired woman and added-- "So, you own a tiger? That's pretty cool, even though I consider being extra careful when the cub turns into an adult."

Then, Mega Man came into realization when he didn't introduce himself to the girl. "Oh, my apologies! Let me go and introduce myself.. My name is..." The Robot Master paused himself for a moment. If he was going to socialize with other people, then he shouldn't go and bore them with his actual robot name. "... My name is Rock, Rock Light: robotic son of the famous Thomas Light. What's yours?" He asked, patting his fateful companion on the head while Rush was gnawing on the Metal Blade. 

[Lucciola]

"That's good, he can be a handful sometimes" replied Mari to Mega Man's comments, it seemed he was visually chastising his strange do a little before returning his attention to Mari. This time he was talking about owning and tiger and that it was cool, but she'd have to be careful once it grew into an adult. Mari smiled and remembered that even on her home world, there were animals before Monsters were discovered. One of which was a tiger, the animal that Storm resembled highly. Bending down and patting Storm, she looked back up at Rock.

"Actually he's a Monster called Cuboom, he won't grew any further past three feet in height. And he's already fully grown. Where I come from, we have creatures called Monsters. Who do resemble normal animals, but have special abilities. And also really enjoy racing one another" explained Mari, and then she stood up as the boy introduced himself as Rock Light. The robotic son of someone called Thomas Light "Nice to might Rock, I'm Mari and this is Storm" expressed Mari, she held her hand out to shake and pointed to her Cuboom when introducing him.

Interesting. This tiger cub happens to be a monster, along with the fact that he's already an adult. It was odd to calculate this, so Mega Man decided to not press on about this discovery. It'll only make it more difficult to add within his databases after learning so much about the animal kingdom. Aside from that; he was intrigued about these special abilities that these monsters that Mari was describing to him. "That sounds cool, Rush can do a lot of things too! Here, let me show you." Mega Man kept his distance from his robotic dog, getting into position as he said-- "Rush, activate Rush Coil mode!" Following his master's orders, Rush's stand up in all four legs, preparing himself for Mega Man's engagement. 

"Here I go!" Mega Man rushed over to his canine companion and hops onto the dog's back, only to be sprung into the sky. While in midair, Mega Man look below his position and shouted-- "Activate Rush Jet!" With that, the dog howled back to his master as Rush's body went into a laying position. Next, the robot dog's body shaped itself into a rectangular prism-like form. Last, but not least, his legs transformed into two rockets so that the dog can move through the air. Finally, Rush takes to the skies! He soar towards Mega Man and catch him before falling back onto the ground. "Good boy, Rush! I'm glad that you didn't lose those abilities during the teleportation!" Rock laughed, steering the hover board canine down to where Mari and Storm is located. Rush acted more of a utility for Mega Man other than being just a robotic dog. Aside from being used, Rush was happy that he could be of use to his master along with fighting alongside him against the forces of Dr. Wily. 

Rock knew at Day 1 that Rush is a irreplaceable partner, no other robotic animal can preform the same techniques like him.

It seemed that this Rock boy liked her monster, and said that his own pet could do things too. And he started to get his dog Rush to show just what it could do, and with a big fancy display that reminded her of a Japanese anime. Mari laughed a little as he soared through the air and flew around like some kind of power ranger, watching him make his moves and then land down nearby her and Storm.

"Sadly, Storm can only run fast and use electricity. No transformations available" commented Mari in a slightly joking tone, despite his robot appearance this Rock Light was very much a boy in her eyes. He acted like any other child would, showing off his toys and saying things were cool.

It was fun having to actually spend some time with Rush using the Jet Transformation, but he has to let the dog save it in case of any emergency. Who knows what will happen during a prospering time such as this one. If only he had Beat and Tango with him, then it'll be such a party with them around. Though, it's going to be difficult to actually sustain them all since Rush tends to mess around with the two. He removed his helmet from on top of his head, it was pretty unnecessary to have that thing on at the moment. Even if it was pretty much used as a defensive mechanism and a clutch for him to actually charge his Mega Buster faster, Rock can go with or without his helmet on choice.

"Oh, don't worry." He laughed. "I'm certain there are things that Storm can accomplish other than any other robotic pet can do. Besides, your tiger cub is absolutely special. Probably even better than my cat Tango at home!"
