Queen Sunstar: Here is the start of another story I thought of while watching some of my favorite episodes of Megaman NT warrior. I decided to do this one much like I did Crisis, from the points of view of my favorite characters, Megaman, Protoman, Chaud, and Lan. Summery below.
A critically wounded Megaman is rushed to Scilabs were Dr. Hikari pulls an all nighter trying to save him. He runs into problems as the usual repair programs only seem to make Megaman get worse. In the morning, the truth comes out as several Darkloids appear and drive off Protoman. Megaman is then changed to the Darkloid Rockman before everyone. It quickly becomes apparent that Dark Lord Gospel is about to be reawakened so Protoman, along with Roll, Iceman, Gutsman, Glyde, and Searchman return to where the original battle was fought to find out they are too late. They rush back to Net City to find Gospel already there. He sends his eight Darkloids into battle and Protoman finds himself fighting Rockman, who is increasingly becoming unstable. Gospel orders a retreat as Megaman fights through the darkness and tells Protoman to delete him. Will Protoman do it? Meanwhile, Scilabs is studying a new chip called a Light chip that Lan used in the original battle to change Megaman into Light Megaman who then took down Dark Lord Gospel. The chip is stolen. As the group regroups at Scilabs, Gospel attacks Scilabs directly and a dimensional area is activated. Crossfusion Protoman, Roll, and Searchman prepare to do battle while a desperate Lan takes on his own Navi. Rockman proves to be too strong for him to handle, but crossfusion Protoman appears and is forced to make a heart wrenching decision to save Lan. Gospel leaves saying he got what he came for. It is quickly discovered that most of Scilabs data is gone, including Megaman's frame. Dr. Hikari was able to save the data gleaned from the Light Chip and realizes it alone can save Megaman if it is downloaded into Megaman's frame. Realizing they need the Light Chip, a desperate search is started to locate it. Will they find it in time and save Megaman, or is it too late? And how are the Darkloids able to survive repeated deletions?
By the way, implied Chaud/Yai, Megaman/Roll, Lan/Maylu. Enjoy! Capcom owns everything except Medic.
MEGAMAN
Crossfusion. The unification of a human and a Navi soul used by the Net Police to take down Darkloids that appear inside Dimensional Areas. My Netop, Lan Hikari, and I were currently crossfused and fighting a Darkloid named Graveman. We were panting, nearly spent. The room we were in was pitted with dents and scars from the battle. Graveman sneered at us.
"This isn't over yet!" Lan screamed.
"All we got let is our default weapon! We're out of chips!" I told him.
"I am not letting him get away with what he did to Roll!" Lan shot back.
"Will you think for once? We have no chips! Battle over! Retreat! Am I talking to a wall here?" I asked.
"But but," Lan sputtered, knowing I was right, "Okay, you win. We'll retreat."
"Think I'm just going to let you walk away?" Graveman asked, raising his scythe, "I think not! I hoped I wouldn't have to use this move, but I've got no choice! Deathcharge!"
'Can't dodge it! I have to protect Lan! Wait for it. Don't break fusion just yet…' I thought privately. If this worked, Lan would be safe. That was all that mattered to me. I would be taking the full force of the attack, and with luck, I would escape deletion. I felt Lan prepare to jump. As he leapt, I broke the connection. Lan tumbled to the ground, the PET landing nearby. The pain hit full force, causing me to bite back a scream. I realized something was wrong. Lan wasn't moving. I saw a trickle of red running down Lan's head from a nasty looking gash above his right eye.
"Lan! Lan wake up!" I screamed at him. He didn't move, "Lan, you have to wake up now!" Still nothing. Then a familiar red boot came into my view. A black glove closed around the PET as Crossfusion Protoman picked it up. Protoman's face came into view.
"Oh god, Megaman!" he cried out.
"Help Lan! He's hurt!" I told him.
"Megaman, so are you." Protoman knelt by Lan, "He has a pulse. Looks like he was knocked out. We need to get you to Scilabs now."
"No! take care of Lan!" I cried out as exhaustion hit me full force.
Graveman attacked, but was deleted after Protoman hacked him to pixels. Then Chaud split from Protoman, who rushed into my PET.
"Chaud, deal with Lan. I'll deal with Megaman." Protoman ordered.
"Got it." Chaud knelt back by Lan. Protoman turned to me.
"Megaman, I'm going to help you." Protoman walked over to me, "You are going into shock. I'm going to help you lay down." He gently forced me down so I was laying flat on my back. A wave of dizziness washed over me as my head began to throb painfully. I could feel each throb like a drum beat. My lunch started to have second thoughts about staying in my stomach.
"I have to sit up. I think I'm going to be sick." I tried to sit up, but Protoman held me down.
"It's okay." Protoman soothed.
"No really! I'm going to be sick!" I protested.
"You are going to be fine." Protoman replied, "just focus on me."
I suddenly rolled to my right side and vomited. This only served to make my headache even worse. Protoman rubbed my back as my retching subsided. I knew something was up. I reached up and felt the right side of my face. My hand came away covered in data. I immediately brought up what was left in my stomach. Pain stabbed at me. I looked down to see my right leg nearly amputated and several gashes sliced into my hip, side, and upper chest. My right arm was gone below the elbow. I was rezing badly in places. I was missing parts of my left side, and my left leg and arm were missing bits of data. I forced myself to breathe.
"I'm not going to die, right?" I asked fearfully.
"I hope not." Protoman gently forced me to lay down again, "Dr. Hikari is waiting for you. Megaman, don't go to sleep. Stay with me here. You are doing fine. Just hold on a little longer." he squeezed my left hand comfortingly.
"It hurts." I forced my eyes to stay open, "I've never seen your eyes."
Protoman reached up and removed his black visor, "Now you can see them."
I focused on Protoman's light ice blue gaze, willing myself to hold on.
"I can't feel your hand!" I cried out suddenly, near tears, "Protoman, I can't feel your hand!"
"I'm right here." Protoman let go of my hand and placed his hand on my uninjured left shoulder, "I'm right here."
"I'm scared." I focused on Protoman's face.
"I am scared too. We are at the hospital, dropping Lan off." Protoman replied, "We'll be taking you to Scilabs next. You are doing fine. Just a little bit longer."
CHAUD
I scrambled out of the Limo so the waiting team of doctors could move in and help Lan. Yai was there, waiting with them. She rushed to my arms.
"Oh Chaud!" Yai cried, "I was so worried it was you who was hurt!"
"I'm okay." I told her, "I'm worried about Lan."
At that moment, Mr. Famous, a Scilab scientist, rushed up to us.
"Hand me Megaman! I can get back to Scilabs faster then your limo! You stay with Lan!" Mr. Famous said, taking Lan's PET.
"I'm going to stay with Megaman. He needs me more then you do at the moment." Protoman replied from Lan's PET.
"Okay. Protoman, keep me updated. I'll do the same from my end!" I told him. We rushed off. Yai and I went to the private waiting area. On Yai's PET, Glyde paced.
"What happened?" Yai broke the silence.
"Well, Lan and I got called into duty to fight off a pair of Darkloids. Lan took on Graveman while I dealt with Novaman. I sent Novaman packing when I heard Megaman screaming at Lan to wake up. I ran to them, and deleted Graveman. Megaman is hurt really bad. Lan should be okay." I explained as a doctor entered the room, "That was fast."
"Lan is already awake. Other then the cut and the mild concussion, he is fine. The concussion is really minor, and we are going to keep him overnight just to be safe. Room C7." the Doctor told us. Yai and I took off for the third floor. We raced into Lan's room.
"I'm fine where's Megaman?" Lan asked as we entered.
"With Protoman." I answered, "What happened back there?"
"Chaud, where is Megaman?" Lan asked again.
"Um, okay fine. He's being taken to Scilabs for repair. I'll take you to him personally tomorrow morning after you are discharged. You need to rest. What happened back there?" I asked again.
"I don't really know. I went to dodge a Deathcharge, and the next thing I know, I'm waking up here with a light shining in my eyes. Chaud, What happened?" Lan asked again, "Is Megaman?"
I sighed, "Megaman got hurt really bad. Protoman is with him. He's fine." my pet beeped, "I bet that is him." I opened my PET, "Protoman."
"Chaud." Protoman wasn't wearing his visor, "They lost him. They are trying to reboot him, but it's not working."
My heart plummeted to my stomach, "Lan's fine. He'll be home tomorrow morning." I tried to keep my voice calm.
"I'm heading back." Protoman left, and returned minutes later, "They got him back. He is in a bad way. They are doing everything they can." Protoman lifted his head as if he heard something, "Oh great! Virus attack!" he was gone before I could get more information from him.
"Shall I follow, Miss Yai?" Glyde asked, "I've sent emails to Iceman, Roll, and Gutsman as you ordered."
"Go, Glyde." Yai nodded. At that moment, Maylu ran in followed by Tory, Rush, and Dex.
"Lan! What happened?" Maylu asked, "I heard your name and hospital and about had a heart attack!"
"And where is Megaman? Why isn't Glyde and Protoman here too?" Roll appeared on the computer screen by Lan's bed. Iceman appeared next to her, and Gutsman appeared behind her. Rush barked a greeting, nosing Lan's hand.
I explained again, and we were greeted by cyber dust clouds as the three Navis and one cyber dog took off.
"I didn't know that was possible." Dex said.
"Protoman sent me an update. They had a few tense moments when Megaman crashed, but they were able to reboot him." Lan turned white at my words.
"I should be with him." Lan tried to get up. I held him in place with a death glare.
"Lan, you can help him by staying here and getting your rest. You won't do him any good by wearing yourself out. You can't help Megaman by being unconscious." I reassured him, "First thing tomorrow after you are discharged, I'll take you to him. I promise."
"But I don't want to wait!" Lan whined. "I'm fine, really!"
"You have a concussion!" Yai came to my aid, pulling out two pairs of handcuffs, "You will stay, or else, I'll cuff you to the bed." her eyes flashed, and I had to fight off a blush. I thanked my lucky stars that Protoman hadn't seen my blush. He would never have let me live it down. Yai, however, had seen my little blush. She gave me a soft half smile, which only caused me to blush again.
"Yai, you may want to stop before you leave him with a permanent blush." Tory joked despite the death glare I sent his way. It was no secret that Yai and I were dating. Her parents and my dad were best friends. We had grown up together and were close friends. I tried to force myself to stop blushing which only seemed to make things worse.
PROTOMAN
"Will you die and stay that way?" I muttered to a virus I had killed five times already. The dang thing merely reformed itself and came back for more. I took it out a sixth, seventh, and eighth time. The virus looked like what would result if a Metool and a bat were to mate, and the offspring were to mate with a spider. I killed it for the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth times. Glyde appeared and took it out with one hit. It didn't reform.
"How did you do that? I killed it twelve times and it kept coming back!" I protested as Glyde and I turned as one to take out five Metools at once.
"Their weak point is their eye." Glyde said, "Not the ones it sees out of, but the third eye between those two eyes." he took out several more Metools. A buzzing filled the air. Before I could even react, Glyde leapt into the air and took out the queen bee, sending the others going the way of their queen. The viruses finally stopped coming. Glyde suddenly screamed. I spun, and froze. Staring at me was myself, in Darkloid form.
"Surprised?" my dark self grinned.
"How?" I asked, "Why?"
"Call me Blues." Blues hissed, "I came here to make sure that blue pest dies! I don't care about that pesky Netop. Without Megaman, he is nothing!" Blues raised his sword, "First, to get you out of the way!"
"Wait! No!" I back peddled out of striking range, "You can't! that would kill Lan!"
Blues suddenly shot forward, and I found myself in the air, held up by my neck. Blues merely grinned, and squeezed. I gasped, struggling for air. My vision blurred around the edges. Roll, followed by Gutsman and Iceman, appeared. Roll fired a roll arrow at us. I managed a weak kick. Suddenly, I was thrown aside. I hit the ground gasping. Blues screamed in rage as he was logged out.
"Protoman! Are you okay?" Iceman knelt by me.
Unable to talk, I nodded. Roll knelt and rested her hands on my neck, restoring health and healing the damage. I managed a faint thank you, my voice box still too damaged to function. It would improve over time, and I'd be fine in a few hours.
"Why did your dark self attack you?" Roll asked.
"I don't know." I rasped, "he called himself Blues. He mentioned Megaman." We all got moving, "Let's hurry!"
We arrived into the mainframe of Scilabs and raced to the Recovery labs. Getting there, the others stopped short. I gasped. Megaman looked a lot worse. The data loss looked like it had been spreading. His skin was pasty white and his eyes were closed. His face was set in pure agony. Roll choked back a sob, fists clenched. Dr. Hikari turned to us, his face ashen.
"I've never seen this before. Every repair I attempt only makes him worse." he said, "Even Medic is out of ideas."
"We had to shut off most of the repair programs as they were only making things worse. I checked and repaired codes, but he's still losing data." Medic spoke up from Dr. Hikari's PET. For once, the Navirus was alone. Zero, her faithful protector, was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, Medic. Where is Zero by the way?" I asked.
"He is on patrol. We have had an increase in viral attacks, but these viruses are tough. I saw someone in the shadows after the last attack that looked like you." Medic explained, "the Darkloid version of you that is."
"Blues." I growled, "I ran into him too. He said stuff about Megaman before he was logged out."
"He didn't seem too happy about being logged out." Glyde said, "Why are the Darkloids back and why are they after Megaman?"
"Nebula?" Iceman ventured.
"Regal died with Lazerman, and Miss Yuri is currently residing in a watery grave. Megaman and I deleted all remaining Darkloids while saving those that could be saved." I reasoned, "I was a Darkloid, so how did they get Blues if he was me?"
"Hold on a second." Dr. Hikari ran from the room. He returned moments later, "Just as I suspected. Remember how I removed the data corrupted by the dark chip from you, Protoman? Well, its missing along with several other Darkloid data."
"Who is missing?" I asked.
"You, Shademan, Lazerman, Burnerman, and Shadowman." Dr. Hikari recited.
"Who ever did this took the five strongest Darkloids." A scream yanked my attention back to Megaman, "What's happening to him?"
"I don't, oh god." Dr. Hikari turned to the screen in time to witness some of Megaman's data turn black. I knew what was happening. Megaman was slowly changing into a Darkloid. This couldn't be happening.
"They have Novaman and Graveman as far as we know. Megaman would be the eighth Darkloid…" realization dawned on me and I swore loudly, "Not this again! We barely survived the last time!"
"What is it, Protoman?" Roll asked.
"Gospel." I about choked on the word. Dr. Hikari went white. The others paled. Rush barked worriedly. They all remembered Gospel all too well. They had resurrected eight Darkloids and had nearly awakened the Dark Lord. My spine tingled in fear. Megaman and I had fought hard, but it came to a standstill. Then Lan had been given that solid white chip from Higsby who refused to say anything about it. Lan had downloaded the chip, and Megaman screamed. I watched in horror then in shock as Megaman stepped out of the light. His blue had turned white while his yellow had turned golden. His eyes were glowing golden, and he was floating. He deleted all eight Darkloids at once, and then dove into the opening to fight the Dark Lord. The opening had blazed white and sealed itself. I remembered screaming and frantically digging for Megaman. When I found him, he was unconscious and barely breathing. He was back to his normal colors. I had rushed him to Scilabs, where Dr. Hikari made repairs. Megaman didn't awaken for nearly six weeks. Now, the chip was being analyzed, but it had refused to give up it's secrets. Higsby had been called in and he had said that the chip was extremely rare, being the only one of it's kind. He called it a Light Chip. The chip itself looked just like a dark chip except it was white and gold. The center part was pale blue. Even my scans didn't turn anything up. Megaman screamed again, his right boot now all black. The black faded to reveal dark purple. Dr. Hikari typed frantically at the computer while Medic pixilated onto the screen. She canceled out the repair programs and her hands lit up as she tried her healing touch. The purple boot faded back to normal, but the damage refused to heal. Roll joined her, adding her own healing touch, but nothing happened, save for Megaman's pained groans as he lurched under them. They both stopped.
"I don't get it." Roll sat back, "A double heal should have repaired some of this damage."
"You are right. I don't like this." Medic was silenced by another scream from Megaman. His right boot went black then to purple and the blackness traveled up to his knee. His left leg began to go black then on to purple. The area below his knees stayed black. Both Medic and Roll went back to healing and his lower legs returned to normal.
"This isn't good. Without us healing, he'll turn." Medic said.
LAN
I spent the longest night of my life in the hospital. I couldn't sleep. I stared at the darkness in my room, my mind on Megaman. On the couch, Chaud slept, Yai curled up next to him, also asleep. They both had stayed, knowing full well about my previous escape attempts from the other times I was in the hospital. Chaud had his arm around Yai's waist while Yai had her head on his chest. They made a cute couple. My mind wandered back to Megaman. He had to be okay. I convinced myself that he would be awake and fine when I saw him tomorrow. He would be waiting for me to take him home where he would probably give me an earful about not listening to him while in crossfusion. I smiled, imagining his emerald eyes flashing as he tore me a new one. Megaman and I are more then Netop and Navi. We are twin brothers. I hate hospitals with a passion for a reason. Megaman had started life as Hub Hikari, my twin brother. When we were seven, Hub died of a fatal birth defect in his heart called HBD. Hub wasn't expected to survive his first year of life, but he lasted until three weeks after our seventh birthday. I remembered that horrible day well. It was recess and we were playing soccer. I had kicked the ball toward him and he stopped it by catching it against his chest. He had suddenly screamed and clutched his chest. I had ran to him while Maylu raced to find a recess teacher. The school called 911 and I had gone with Hub to the hospital where our parents were waiting for us. Hub spent the next three days in agony before going into a coma and dying eight hours later. Those first few days without Hub were brutal. I finally drifted off.
Morning dawned and I woke to find it was nearly 11 in the morning. Chaud entered my room as I sat up to rub sleep from my eyes.
"You ready to get out of here? We let you sleep as long as you wanted." His voice was quiet. As usual, Yai was next to him. I got up.
"Hand me my cloths and I'll be ready to go in a few minutes." Yai handed me my cloths which I changed into in the bathroom. I walked back out, tying my bandana around my hair, "Let's go."
"Breakfast, or should I say lunch, is waiting in the Limo." Chaud took the lead, "First stop Scilabs." We reached the car and piled in. a very familiar smell wafted into my nostrils. Chaud handed me the bag and I devoured the Curry in seconds. It was from No 1 Curry, my favorite place beside Game Soul. Chaud turned to me, his face serious.
"I'm going to warn you. Megaman is unconscious, and he looks worse then he is." Chaud said, "He is rezing badly in places, and I want you to be prepared." We reached Scilabs and I raced ahead, refusing to believe Chaud. Dad met me in the lobby. He looked exhausted like he'd been up all night.
"How is Megaman?" I asked, "Is he ready to go yet?"
Dad sighed sadly as he guided me to his office. I felt the first pangs of fear.
"Dad, what happened?" I asked. Chaud and Yai came up behind me. We entered the office, and Dad went to his computer where he brought up Megaman. My heart leapt into my throat. Megaman looked bad. The right side of his head was mostly rezing pixels, and he was missing wide swaths of data all over his body. His right arm ended below his elbow and his right leg was nearly amputated below the knee. He was barely breathing and his skin was white. His face was set in a mask of pure agony.
"I'm doing everything I can." Dad said softly.
"Dad? You can save him, right?" My voice sounded small. I realized that the blue green rings of repair programs were missing, "What are you not telling me?"
Chaud sighed. It was Protoman who answered.
"The programs are not working. Even Medic and Roll can't do a thing. Lan, the repair programs are making him worse instead of better." Protoman explained, appearing on the screen, "There is something else you need to know. The Darkloids are back, and Megaman is slowly turning into a Darkloid. So far, Medic and Roll are keeping the dark data at bay."
"Darkloids? Is it Nebula?" I asked.
"No. do you remember Gospel?" Protoman asked.
"No, not that again!" I screamed, "They can't take Megaman away from me! The white chip! What if I were to give him the white chip?"
"No." Dad turned to me, "It is too risky and way too dangerous. We tried using the white chip on another Navi, and the power killed him. It almost killed Megaman when you used it on him."
"We have to do something!" I cried out.
"And that something is me!"
We spun to the computer.
"Blues!" Protoman spat, bringing up his sword.
"Hmph, our newest member." Blues turned to Megaman, "he looks pathetically weak. The boss requested him specifically and I must obey."
"You leave Megaman alone!" Protoman charged, only to get blasted away by another Darkloid, Graveman.
"We deleted him!" Chaud cried out as Protoman picked himself up off the cyber ground.
"I'll take you both on!" Protoman screamed.
"Fire sword, battle chip in!" Chaud called out, "Aqua sword, battle chip in! Elect sword, battle chip in! Program advance!"
Protoman brought down the elemental sword with a scream of fury, deleting Graveman. He spun and a kick from Blues sent him to the ground. Rising, Protoman charged. Chaud screamed. Protoman twisted himself around mid charge to attack Novaman and Burnerman. Graveman pixilated back in. Pretty soon, Shademan and Lazerman appeared. Protoman was fighting a rapidly losing battle. A hard hit forced him to log out. The six Darkloids turned to Megaman.
"They are locked out so let's get busy." Shademan ordered.
"Why does Shadowman want something so weak and small?" Novaman asked.
"We must do as the Boss orders." Blues answered as a pair of dark red rings circled Megaman's body.
"Why him? He's damaged. Can't we delete him and be done with it?" Burnerman asked.
"No!" the five other Darkloids screamed at him. Burnerman blinked.
"Delete him and the Boss might delete you!" Shademan snapped, "How about I delete you here and now?"
"I was just saying…" Burnerman sputtered before he wisely chose to shut up.
The rings flashed, and Megaman screamed. Slowly, his body changed colors to black and purple. The rings flashed again, repairing the damage. They vanished as Megaman opened his eyes. I nearly screamed. His once sparking emerald gaze was now red and filled with hatred. Blues helped him up.
"Megaman! No!" I cried out.
"It is not Megaman any more. It is Rockman. The one you call Megaman is gone." even his voice was different, sounding softer and icy. He left with the Darkloids as I screamed at him. Chaud pulled me back from the computer.
"Lan." was all he said, "I'm sorry."
"Let me go." I pulled away from him, "I'm going to get Megaman back, no matter what."
"I'll help you." Chaud said.
"As will I." Protoman agreed.
"Don't forget us." Roll said.
"And us." Dex added.
"We'll get him back."
I turned, "Raika! Searchman!"
"I saw." The Sharon soldier replied, "I was sent from HQ to get you two. The Commissioner has called an emergency meeting. You don't have to come, Lan."
"I'm coming." I glared at Raika. Behind me, Chaud sighed.
"Lan, you were hurt in the last battle. You need to get your rest. You are going to stay here and I'll fill you in on the meeting." Chaud said.
"No. I'm fine. I can handle a meeting. Why is it that you insist on treating me like I'm fragile or something?" I asked.
"You have a concussion, and you just lost your Navi." Chaud pointed out.
"I'm fine! Really!" I snapped. Ooh, Chaud could really get on my nerves!
"No you are not!" Chaud snapped back. Raika watched our argument with mild amusement before he finally stepped between us.
"That is enough. Lan, as your superior, I am ordering you home to rest." Raika ordered.
"But but Raika! Hey wait a minute here! Since when are you my superior?" I asked.
"Since I'm the head of our unit." Raika replied, "Disobey me, and I'll have no choice but to report you."
"Since when were we a unit?" I asked.
"Since we are in the same region." Raika replied. Searchman scowled from the PET.
"Last I checked, Sharro wasn't in the US! It's in Canada, near the, no wait, it is the north pole!" I shot back.
"Lan, where have you been during those last few meetings? There are seven regions and each region has several units of Net Saviors. Raika was transferred to our Unit and promoted to unit supervisor." Chaud replied.
"But!" I looked at each of their faces, "Okay fine. I'll stay here. I expect you to update me, Chaud, as soon as the meeting is over!"
They left, and I turned to the now empty computer screen.
"Megaman, I'll find and save you, I promise." I felt for the ever familiar link in my mind to Megaman, 'Megaman, it's Lan. I don't know if you can hear me, but you've got to fight back. Please, fight back for me.'
'Lan… help me… It hurts…'
'Megaman! I'm here!'
'That's enough of that.'
I felt Megaman scream and nearly screamed myself. The link, a source of warmth and love I could always count on was slammed closed. I tried to reopen it, but It left me. I must have been shaking and near collapse when Dex led me to a chair and sat me down in it.
"Lan, what is wrong?" he asked.
"The link is gone. I can't feel Megaman anymore!" I cried out, "I can't feel him anymore!"
Dad appeared next to me, "It's okay, Lan. Everything is going to be okay."
"No it's not okay! I can't feel Megaman anymore!" I cried, burying my face into his white lab coat, "the link is gone!"
A memory came to mind of myself sitting next to Hub who was laying in a coma. I was holding his hand, willing him to live when I felt our link break. I had known then he was gone. I had screamed his name over and over again. Had I just lost my twin brother all over again? No, I refused to think like that. I would get Megaman back. I had to get Megaman back. I couldn't lose Hub all over again.
