Inside the N1 Grand Prix stadium, it's going so far. Well, it truly is. The last NetBattle shows of Lan and Maylu are winning against Mr. Match and Maddy, the members of World Three. However, things go sour for the former two after Maylu ended being manipulated by Yahoot, who is disguised as Hisgby, into putting a Super Great White Angel Chip which it's a Devil Chip into her PET, resulting in Roll turning against MegaMan. Even though she's back to normal thanks to Maylu putting the Cyclone battle chip and won the match against the two World Three members, she is damaged as the price after the usage of the evil chip and that she can't continue in the tournament.

Lan and the gang has decided to take a snack at the Battle Lounger. All five of them have chocolates as their snacks.

"Well, this is the life, huh, Maylu?" he asked his friend.

"Yes, it is, Lan," she replied happily, trying to get relaxed ever since what happened on the last battle.

"Hey, if it isn't Empress Roll's ex-NetOp, Maylu Sakurai!" a random citizen taunts her.

"Yeah, it is, sister! Her NetNavi has abandoned her!" her sister makes another taunt.

These insults make Maylu feel stress all over herself. Hey eyes are hidden and mouth frowning.

"Tell me, are you going to forgive and forget what that Navi of yours just did? Try not to," the citizen taunt her again.

"Try having a grudge on her," her sister also taunted.

Insulted, the pink-haired girl's blood begins to boil with a fist forming.

"Just calm down, Maylu," Lan holds his hand to his friend's shoulder.

"He's right. Just ignore them," Yai said angrily and uses her giant forehead that shines a light on the bullies to scare them away. "They don't know that's not the real Roll."

In a matter of seconds, Maylu started to calm down.

"I'm going to the restroom," she stands up from the table and makes her way to the ladies' restroom.

Inside, she is washing her face to recover from the taunts the two make on her. She looks at herself in the mirror and swears she saw an angry look at herself. A terrible thought comes into play.

"Oh please, you're the useless on who used to be my NetOp."

That was the thought of Roll being under the control of Count Zap. Another thought has troubled the girl.

"Her NetNavi has abandoned her," Mr. Match taunted of what is happening. Of course, he and his gang are doing this.

"I know. Ain't it a tragedy?" his accomplice, Maddy, said in happiness.

Maylu has the look on her face change into a more angrier form from the thoughts played in her head. She puts her head down from this and tries to wash her face more.

"Maylu, what are you thinking of washing your face like that?" a voiced is heard.

Roll! her NetOp thought in anger as her blood boils up and teeth gritted over on what just happened.

The human girl comes out of the restroom trying to find some way to calm herself down. Too bad she can't fight that dark desire anymore.

"Maylu, are you okay?" Lan rushes to her and offers her a drink. "Here's a milkshake to help you feel better."

Even doing this won't help her in getting the memories which it turned bad for her about how Lan wins in his NetBattles with MegaMan. She finds a troubled thought on Roll after she is freed from the corrupted chip.

"Hey, can you ever forgive me? I never meant to... hurt you," the pink Navi fainted and MegaMan catches her.

Maylu has trouble on herself for this moment. I turned her back to normal and don't I get an apology for rebelling on me?

She has a troubled thought about her recent status in the tournament.

"I'm afraid being under the spell of that twisted chip has taken a lot out of her. She's lost a lot of data. I'm sorry, Maylu, but she may not be able to compete for quite a while," Higsby stated sadly after the battle.

This only made Maylu drive herself harder with her blood boiling from more anger over this. Another troubled thought fills her head over on what happened at the battle regarding her Navi when she was under the control of WWW.

"You're out of the loop, Maylu. I don't have any intention to be controlled by you anymore because from now on, there will be someone else running the show."

Useless, am I? I'm out of the loop, eh? You don't have any intention to be controlled by me anymore anymore, huh? Well, fine. I'll show you, Roll! Yes, this is revenge! I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget, Ms. Empress, the girl thought in bitterness with a fist being near the left side of her face.

"Uh, Maylu?" Lan puts the milkshake near her face. As she takes a look at him, she slaps the drink off her and sends it spilling to the floor. A large number of people react in shock from this. "Maylu, what is that all about?!"

She pulls out her PET afterwards and gives out a glare on him.

"Hey, what's with that look? You don't have to glare at me like that!" the latter cried.

"Lan..." the former said with an angry look at her face.

"Yeah? I'm listening."

"I want you to fight me. Fight me right now."

Those sentences puts the boy into a surprise. He could not believe she would want to have a NetBattle with her. Of course, this is their first time to have a match with each other. Their Navis are in for a surprise from this.

"What are you, crazy?! Roll is still recovering from the effects of the chip!"

"Yeah, she still is. Let her get some rest!" MegaMan also stated inside his PET.

"Shut up and fight!" Maylu screamed. "Do you really think you saved her? I don't care if she's still recovering. You shouldn't have got her involve with what happened when my hair is messed up or even when I had that evil chip!"

"What?!" Lan gets really mad at this, triggering an argument between them. "Well, it's your fault those two things had happened!"

"I! Don't! Care!" the girl screamed, not caring on the consequences on her actions. In fact, she refuses to acknowledge she's responsible for the two events. Then she takes out her anger at her Navi. "Roll, do you know why I can't continue in the tournament?"

"That's because I can't compete due to losing a lot of data," her Navi replied calmly, but at the same time, she is scared of her new attitude.

"That's right, and do you know whose fault is that?"

"Um, mine?" Roll asked in fear.

"Correct!" Maylu lashes out on her by punching the PET with her right hand, causing the pink Navi to be shaken for a few seconds.

"Maylu, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?!" the latter cried on what just happened. "And how can you say it's my fault you can't continue in the tournament?"

"Not convinced? Here's proof. When I have the corrupted chip, what do you say when I said if you're ready?"

"All I said was, 'Ready, Maylu!'"

"Exactly!" the young girl makes another punch at the PET, and Roll is shaken for a few seconds. "That's why I can't continue in the tournament and it's all your fault, Roll. It's as if you want to rebel on your own free will."

"Stop this, Maylu! Don't blame her for what happened!" Lan protested. "If you need to blame someone, it's those WWW losers. They're the ones responsible for this!"

"I couldn't care less of what those bozos do to her, but that's the reason I wanted to fight you. After all, this is our very first time to face off with each other in NetBattle, and it looks like this is our chance. That is unless you chicken out. If you try doing that, then I'll tell the judges that you're too scared to continue in this tournament," Maylu pulls a smirk on her face if the second choice happens.

Lan gritted his teeth in anger at this. He has seen worse of Maylu with her attitude has changed from being nice to nasty, not to mention letting her dark desire take over her completely.

"Hey, Maylu! Don't do this!" Roll asserts herself in worry. "MegaMan, say something to Lan to stop him before he could make that decision! This is crazy!"

After a few seconds, the blue Navi smile; his decision to tell his NetOp has been made.

"Go ahead, Lan. Accept this challenge."

The boy smiled, accepting the proposal.

"Actually, this is the perfect time. I was thinking about this is the right time to kick your butt."

"Follow me, then."

Maylu takes the boy to the arena where the battle will start.

"Well, ain't her attitude changed?" Mr. Match said sinisterly, enjoying of watching the argument.

"Let's see if she could try to keep that bad girl attitude of hers," Maddy stated.
