THE LOVE AND LIFE OF THE UNEXPECTED
Chapter 1:He's Gone
I do NOT own Megaman nor any other characters or items used throughout the story.

Before you read the fic: This story takes place during the Axess series. A few things I've changed for the sake of this story is the fact the Megaman is Lan's twin brother Hub (wasn't in the anime) and that Dex and Yai are staying in DenTech.
ON WITH THE FIC!

DenTech's greatest hero was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. He felt his eyes fill with tears. There was nothing he could do. Megaman was gone.
It had been two days since he sacrificed himself to delete Bass for good. Lan had since shut himself out from the rest of the world, ignoring any and all attempts his friends made to contact him; they didn't even know what happened.
Maylu stood at the window, watching Lan as he sat up and covered his face. Maylu sighed and left her room. She couldn't take it anymore.
She grabbed her PET on her way out and began to walk to the house next door.
She knocked on the door, waiting for an answer. Lan's mother finally opened the door. "Hi Maylu," she said, worry engulfing her voice. "Are you here to see Lan?"
"Yes, Mrs. Hikari," Maylu replied, walking in the door and heading up the stairs. Maylu reached Lan's door and stopped. She heard him sobbing on the other side. She lightly knocked on the door. No answer came. She knocked again.
"Go away," was all she heard from his room. Maylu sighed.
"Lan, it's me. Can I please come in?" she begged. Silence replied. "Lan, please. I'm really worried about you."
Lan sighed loudly and stood. He walked over to his door and opened it slowly. The second she saw the door open, she ran in and caught him in a tight embrace that must have lasted at least a few minutes. Tears streamed down his face and landed on her shoulder. She kissed him softly on the forehead.
"It's okay, Lan," she said, unaware of what had happened. "It's okay."
"No," he sobbed back. "No, Maylu. It really isn't okay this time."
"Why Lan?" she asked as she felt him sink further into her arms. "What happened?"
Lan opened his mouth to answer, but was interrupted by Maylu's navi.
"Where's Mega?" Roll asked, concerned, from her PET.
Lan let out another heavy sigh and let go of Maylu. He walked over to his desk and grabbed his PET. He opened a file and prepared it for transfer.
When he reached Maylu, he asked for her PET. Lan connect his PET to hers and started transferring the file. When it was done, he disconnected the PET, walked over to his bed and plopped down.
"Open it," were the only instructions Lan gave.
Roll opened the file and instantly, she heard Megaman's voice.
"Roll, if you are hearing this, I have bad news," the recording began. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I'm gone. I've been deleted, taken away from everyone and everything I care about, by Bass."
Roll's eyes widened in shock as the colour drained from her face.
"The reason why Lan has given you this file is because I want to let you know that I have always supported you in everything you have done. I want you to keep living, to continue on with your life, to be the best you can be in everything you do. I want you to know that I always have cherished our friendship. I'm sorry that it had to be this way, but you have to understand that I did this for you, for the lives of everyone and every navi. Goodbye, my angel, my inspiration, my everything. I love you dearly, I have since the day we met, and I always will."
Tears were now rushing out of Roll's eyes and down her cheeks as her knees crumbled and she collapsed to the ground. She curled herself up, trying to comfort herself.
"I love you too, Mega," was all she could say. Nothing more. "I love you too."
Lan let out a sigh and closed his eyes to hold back his tears.
"Lan..." Maylu began, but her words escaped her. "Lan, I'm so sorry..."
Tranquility once again responded her words. Maylu walked up to his bedside and held his hand.
"Maylu, I can't believe he's gone. I can't believe my brother's gone."
Maylu couldn't hold back any longer. Almost instantly, her eyes drowned in tears. She couldn't stand seeing Lan miserable like this.
Lan sat up and slowly lifted her up onto the bed. They held each other in a tight, comforting hug. They both said nothing, exchanged no words, but they knew that they never wanted to let go of each other. Lan held her head under his chin and let her cry into him.
-Elsewhere in the Cyberworld-
Past the outskirts of NetCity, all that remained there were the ruins of a skyscraper where a battle of epic proportion between navi and beast had once taken place. Suddenly, under layers and layers of rubble, a navi opened his eyes, as if looking at the world for the first time. He mustered up the last of his strengths and pushed through the concrete and metal that once trapped him. He stood and began limping into the unknown.
"Lan..." the navi called out to the emptiness. "I'm coming..."
