CHAPTER TWO
Roll wakes to the sound of sirens blaring. "Ah... what's going on?" She steps out of her room into a tumult of soldiers rushing down the hall. Their footsteps echo like thunder in the crowded hallway. Roll makes her way through the crowd to the now deserted mess hall. No one is there, and Roll feels calm in the room. She starts to eat her breakfast when another person walks into the room. He has fins on his helmet and is wearing a brown cloak. He walks, almost gliding over to the food counter and grabs a plate of food. He glide-walks over to Roll's table and sits down, and starts to eat. Roll has been watching him this whole time, eating slowly. The robot looks up. "Hello there." Roll jumps in the air. She wasn't paying attention, and the robot talking startled her. "H-H-hello... My name is Roll. Who are you?"
"My name is Bass." He says it so icily that Roll shivers when he talks. "I remember you... You fought my brother Megaman a few times." Bass looks at Roll and cocks an eyebrow. "You're Megamans sister?" "Y...yes..." Bass scowls and goes back to his food. Roll stands up. "It was nice talking to you Mr. Bass, but I have to go." She walks to the door, throws away her food, and leaves quickly. As Roll walks down the hallway, she thinks about Bass. He was creepy... Roll wanders around, lost in thought, until she runs into Snakeman. "Hey! Watch where... Oh, hello Roll." Roll grins. "Sorry about that Snakeman..." Roll starts down the hallway again. She had run into a few robot masters while she stayed here, but Roll couldn't figure out why they were here, or who rebuilt them.
A number of other questions stuck in her head, but she had no answer for any of them. None of the people she came by cared who she was, or wanted anything to do with her. And she couldn't find Met anywhere. She had some questions about the robots who are running around. Roll gave up, and went back to her room. She looked around, got some paper out of the desk, and started to draw. She never really had a flair for drawing, but she would do it to clear her mind. As she started to draw herself, she wondered what she was going to do. There wasn't really anything she could do at the moment. She was trapped in this remote desert base. Roll wished that something, anything would happen to get her out of that base. She finished herself, and started to draw the background. She finished the picture, and stood up. "I'm going to find Bass." She leaves the room, and walks down the hall. On the way, she runs into a soldier. "Excuse me..." The soldier goes on, ignoring Roll. She sighs, and looks for another person. They all must still be on that mission...She sees Adian, and rushes over to meet him. "Adian... Do you know where Bass is?" Adian looks over at Roll. "Bass? He's in his quarters, down that hall. Just take a left by the fire extinguisher." "Thank you!" Roll runs down the hall and rounds the corner. She sees a number of doors. "Maybe I should've asked which door was his..." She knocks on a door. "Hello? Bass?" The door opens, and Snakeman sticks his head out. "Bass's room has the purple door." He then briskly shuts the door. "Okay... purple door." She walks until she finds a purple door. Roll knocks on the door, and waits for a reply. "State your name." Roll coughs. "Roll Light. I'm here to ask Bass some questions-" The door slides open before she can finish her sentence. "Come in Roll." She walks into Bass's room. She notices that purple and black tend to play a big role in the décor around the room. She likes his big bed, covered with a black blanket and royal purple pillows. She plops down on it. "Ah... so comfortable..." "So..." Roll sits up and looks around the room. "blah... Over here, Roll." She looks over at the desk and sees Bass sitting in the desk chair. "What do you want to talk to me about? I'm busy." Bass doesn't have his cloak on, showing off his faded and battle torn armor. His left arm has a blue plate on it. "Bass, where did the blue plate come from?" Bass frowns. "Doesn't matter. Is that it? Because I have a few pressing matters to attend to." "Actually..." Roll stands up. "I wanted to ask you about the robots, and how they got here." Bass stood up. "They walked. Now I must get going." He laves the room, leaving Roll without answers. "darn it Bass..." She sighs, and turns to go out the door. She went to the Mess hall for lunch. She was starting to get hungry, and she might find Met hiding out there. She knew he could answer some of her questions. If not, she could always go to one of the Robot Masters and ask them. She can hear a large amount of talking, and guessed that the mission was over. Roll gets her plate and goes into the line. She sees Hannah looking around for someone, yelling at the troops and being mean, as always. I know I didn't do anything, so I'll ignore her. "Light bot!" Roll grimaces, and walks over to Hannah. "Yes mam?" "Have you seen Met? I've got something to 'ask' him." Roll shakes her head. Figures. The one person I can talk to, and he's run off. Roll sits down and starts to eat.
In a deserted part of the base...
"Sir, the base's shields are down. Is everything else ready?" "everything is ready, Met. Prepare for the attack." Met shuts off the screen and goes to a jeep nearby. He doesn't want to be around when the carnage starts. The jeep starts up, and he drives out of the garage and into the desert. Yes... soon, we will see...
Roll finishes eating, and heads to her room. As she leaves the mess hall, she hears a loud explosion in another part of the base. Sirens start to go off, and the soldiers rush past her. Explosions fill the air as she runs to a window to see what it is. No way! Megaman is demolishing the northern part of the base with a number of attacks. She starts to rundown the hallway, and gets herself lost. "This wasn't a good Idea..." The part of the base she was just in explodes and the shock makes Roll roll head over heels. "Ow! Maybe it was a good idea..." She runs into a warehouse. "Great." She runs behind a crate to hide from the bombings. Just then, she sees Megaman and Bass crash through the ceiling, fighting. "MAVRICK BUSTER!" Bass fires a large shot at Megaman, who leaps out of the way and fires a missile at Bass. He leaps out of the way, but the missile follows him, and hits. "RA!" He hits the ground, hard. "Give up yet?" Megaman has an evil smirk on his face. Bass leaps to his feet. "TREBLE! TRANSFORM!!" Treble crashes through the ceiling, and in a flash of light, combines with Bass. "Are you ready to die, Megaman?" Bass starts to glow. "Meteor Rain!!!" Energy balls start to rain down from the sky. Roll watches as Megaman nimbly twists between the blasts, and punches Bass. He lets loose a full power Buster shot, and Gospel goes into the wall. He glows, and Treble is lying next to a defeated Bass. "Die, Bass." Megaman starts to charge his buster. "Not...yet... you'll die first. MAIN CORE IMPLOSION!!!!" Megaman starts to run as Bass glows, then explodes, leaving a gaping hole in the desert around what was the base.
