Inside the main arena where the semi-finals match is going to be held, announcers Higsby and Ribitta are once again making some announcements.
"Welcome back to the N1 Grand Prix. It's time we announce the semi-," the latter announced. But before she could finish her sentence, a noise is being heard from the left side. "Huh?"
"Hey, you can't barge in! You can't continue in the tournament!" a voice is said with a warning.
"Out of my way, you idiot!" another voice yelled anger and some punching sounds are being heard.
A security guard is being thrown off the side and Lan and Maylu appeared. It is the latter who punched the person guarding the place and the audience is shock in seeing her presence.
"What an unexpected outcome, ladies and gentlemen! Maylu Sakurai has entered the arena!" Ribitta yelled in surprise.
"Maylu! What are you doing here? Are you crazy? Roll can't continue in the tournament!" Higsby also yelled.
"You said Roll can't compete, but you didn't say I can't," the pink-haired girl stated with no emotion on her face and takes off her hairpin.
"I don't know about this, Maylu," Lan started to get worried. "Why did you take off your hairpin?"
"Just to show how tough I am without it. Are you trying to chicken out of this?"
"No, no! It's just-,"
"I'm warning you. If you try to chicken out on me, I'll tell everyone you're out of this tournament because you chicken out."
This gives him no choice but to consider in participating the match.
Just what the heck is that girl trying to pull? Chaud is watching this while standing on a wall and seems to be bothered by what is going on with them.
"Well, we have no other choice, everyone. Before we have the semifinals, let's have a match between Lan Hikari and Maylu Sakurai," Ribitta has no other choice.
The World Three members are seeing this moment and they look happy at it, especially with the little girl's bad attitude.
"If it isn't Ms. Nasty," Mr. Match said.
"Yeah, I really like her when she's like that. To think we're rivals, I wonder if she can be my friend because of that change in attitude," Maddy wondered in excitement from this.
"Battlers! Jack in now!" the announcer cried.
"Jack in, MegaMan, Power up!"
"Jack in, Roll, Power up!"
The two Navis are being transferred into the battlefield and it is desert-type. MegaMan looks hyper while Roll looks tired.
"Maylu, what are you trying to pull here?" the latter asked weakly, puzzled not only on her NetOp's motivation, but also her bad behavior.
"Just a little training exercise to see if you can hold off on your own," was the reply, but she lied. In fact, she is not trying to make a training exercise for her, but to exact revenge on her for disobeying her. Even though it was against her will, she didn't care about that.
"And now! Battle Start!" Ribitta shouted.
"Water Tower, Battle Chip In! Download!" Maylu makes her first move.
Roll puts her hand to a platform as the Aqua Tower makes its way to MegaMan, but he dodges the attack.
"Well, Roll, punch him in the gut," the girl said darkly.
"What?" the pink Navi couldn't believe what her operator just ordered her to do.
"Just do it!" Maylu snapped, frightening her into doing what she is being told.
With MegaMan being off guard from the dodge, his opponent has punched him to where she is being told.
"Look at this, ladies and gentlemen. Roll has punched MegaMan to the gut! What an unbelievable move she made!" Ribitta announced to everyone.
The move she made seriously injured the blue NetNavi, but he gets up.
"Hang on, MegaMan! I'm coming to help you!" Lan is about to make his move. "Laser Blast, Battle Chip In! Download!"
MegaMan's right hand then turns into a blaster to zap Roll, but she dodges the attack.
"Don't worry, Roll, help is on the way!" Maylu makes another move. "Cyclone, Battle Chip In! Download!"
Her NetNavi's right hand is filled with the Cyclone and it's heading to MegaMan's direction. It successfully hits him.
"MegaMan! Maylu, what's wrong with you?!" she started to feel worried for her NetOp's behavior. Then she started to feel weak as she is still recovering from the effects of the corrupted chip.
"Have you gone mad?!" Lan started to berate her friend of the moment.
"Piranha Virus, Battle Chip In! Download!" Maylu cried.
"Cyber Sword, Battle Chip In! Download!"
The Piranha Virus besides Roll shoots a trident from its mouth, but MegaMan dodges it and he is about to go to her direction with a sword being placed on his right hand. At the same time, she started to feel weak.
"Maylu, log me out!" she cried to her NetOp, but there is no response and she has an emotionless look on her face. "Maylu, I'm serious! Log me out!"
"Log you out?" Maylu started to have a smirk on her face and started to laugh maniacally. "HA HA HAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH HAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!"
This really disturbs the entire audience from seeing this moment. It looks like she has gone mad.
"You know what, I'm really liking her," Maddy said happily.
In a matter of seconds, MegaMan's attack will be on to Roll and she'll be deleted. Suddenly, Maysa and Higsby come to their rescue, grabbing the two kids and logging out their Navis in battle.
MegaMan logging out
Roll logging out
"Just what are you two think you're doing in her? That was a little intense for just a sparring match, wasn't it? What's wrong with you two?" Maysa asked in wonder.
Maylu looked at her PET to see Roll being serious weak. She makes an evil grin from this, wanting to make her suffer for making her suffer when she was Empress.
"What were you thinking? Were you really trying to delete her, Maylu?" a voice is heard and the young girl's smirk dies down. It is Ms. Mari and she is scolding her for what trick she tried to pull back there. "You really got to watch this sense of superiority you're having. That Piranha Virus, it's not something you aim at a NetNavi of your friend."
The girl just glared at the presence of her school teacher.
"Why are you suddenly acting like a jerk, Maylu?" the latter asked. Could the incident with Empress Roll caused this?
Maylu looked angry at all this happening. In fact, she is all angry with the incident involving her NetNavi disobeying her orders, and even though she knows the real Roll wouldn't do that, she doesn't care about that anymore. She looked at her with an emotionless look on her face.
"What's wrong with you, Maylu? Why are you being so mean?" her Navi asked in concern in the change of her NetOp's behavior.
However, she did not make a response to this so she just throws her PET to the center of the arena. This shocks everyone of what she did, especially Dex, Yai, and Tory.
"What's wrong with you, Maylu?" Lan tried to hold her shoulder, but Maylu slaps off his hand.
The latter continued to walk away in anger out of the coliseum as a flashback is played in her mind.
"You have to attack Roll!" she said, trying to make a move to save her brainwashed Navi.
"No!" Lan responded, not wanting to do something like that.
The flashback is over as Maylu walks outside.
Why didn't you just made MegaMan attack her when you had the chance?!
