AU where Netto/Rock die while Enzan is fighting Dark Blues in the mindspace. That's basically it. Enjoy.

I don't own Rockman EXE.


Game Over

"E-Enzan…" The name is forced out as a wheeze, and a pair of hands uselessly scrabbled at their owner's tormentor. With tears building in the corner of his eyes, Netto tried to kick at the fusion of Enzan and Dark Blues, to do something—anything—that will take the crushing pressure off his throat.

He tried to reach for the emblem, tried to absorb the Dark Aura, but he can't do anything and nothing was working and he can't breathe. The hand around his throat tightened and he didn't think his voice could work anymore but he still manages a weak scream. It hurts, it hurts, and Netto doesn't have the strength to try and free himself, and neither can Rockman because their pain is shared and they can hardly think beyond that and oh god they need air but they can't get it.

Their head tilted up, and they find that hole in the ceiling, and they can see the Dimensional Area that glows right outside. Its colors are moving around, shifting like always, and it's the last thing they will see in their short lives. Tears slowly trickled down, and their arms drop limply to their side.

"Enzan… Blues… we couldn't… save you…" Somehow, they could still speak, but it's wasting air that they need, that they can't get. They could see black at the corners of their vision, and they think 'Ah, so this is it.'

"Everyone… sorry…" There was still so much that both of them wanted to do, but it seems like… they won't… get…


As the Cross Fusion breaks, Enzan collapses, the mental and physical strain taking a heavy toll on him. His hand finds Netto's, and Enzan smiles weakly. It looks like this was a stupid decision after all. He was sure that Netto would yell at him for doing such a thing once they both recovered. But now, it's time to rest.

In the short time that he was able to stay conscious, Enzan didn't think to wonder why Netto's hand was cold, nor why the brunet didn't even so much as twitch at the contact. And, having fallen unconscious soon after, he didn't know of the scientists and friends that rushed to the scene, of Meijin kneeling down next to Netto, checking for a pulse that was no longer there. He wouldn't know what he had done to his friend.

No, Enzan would be told of it after he wakes up hours later with Blues' PET by his bedside, both of them injured but still alive.

And when Netto and Rockman were no longer there.


That's all for now, folks. I think this will be pretty short compared to my other stories, so keep that in mind.
