Ok! I kinda lied to you guys about it being two chapters. You see, I'm starting High School tomorrow (9/3/13 for you reading this after), and I wanted to release another chapter for you guys. So, I buckled down, and wrote the rest of this chapter until I got to a point that would make a good ending. For the next chapter, I want to focus on the second interrogation of Megaman and the Hell Navi. I want to make sure that it isn't absolute shit (Not saying that I don't want chapters like this to be awesome too), because I think that the scenes with Megaman and the Hell Navi are the best parts of the story (In my opinion). So, sorry of this chapter sucks, you could argue that it was rushed.
In other news, I have a couple shout outs for some people who actually deserve them.
Ghost501 is also a fanfic writer, and he also makes Battle Network Fanfics too! YEA! He (as of writing this) as two Battle Network stories that I really enjoyed, and is planning on making more! So, go to his profile, and read his Battle Network stories! Oh, and he has started a community that is dedicated to Battle Network Fanfics. I am a staff member, and need to start adding stories to the community. (Sorry Ghost501 D:) You can find that community here;
community/Mega-Man-Battle-Network-Stories/109716/3 /0/1/ (just copy and paste that link in front of the Fanfiction url link)
Sorry about the long "Author's Note," he (I'm assuming) deserved it, and also, before I let you read this story, I have yet ANOTHER shout out to a Fanfic writer! GuardianNature2012 for her story; "Rockman EXE Guardians of the Light Circle" This is a story that I've never really read before, and is starting to influence my writing style! (You guys may not notice, but I sure can!) Don't be intimidated by all the chapters! It's worth the read!
"Megaman!" Lan called as he ran through his bedroom door. "Dad just called, he said that Roll's systems will be re-installed in forty five minutes!" Lan couldn't tell if he was happy or still depressed. Megaman just had this... pokerface, that Lan just couldn't crack.
"Megaman?" Lan asked, confused, "Aren't you excited?" Megaman sighed, "Yea... I guess I am..."
"Come on Megaman. Everything is going to be ok." Lan tried to cheer up his brother, "Mayl, Dex, Yia, Tory, and even Chaud is going to be there!"
"It's just that..." Megaman paused, "I went and talked with the Hell Navi who infected Roll with the virus."
"Wait, you went and talked with the Hell Navi?" Lan said. "Yea." Megaman said, "Protoman told me that he would only talk to me, and when I was talking to him, he kept saying it was a shame that Roll was going to get deleted." He started to choke up a little.
"But, that can't be!" Lan said, "When Dad re-installed Roll's systems, he said that should've taken care of the virus."
"He said that re-installing Roll's systems wouldn't do anything." Megaman explained, "He said that he wasn't that stupid to use a virus that he never tested."
"So... Wait! That means that that virus could be in circulation?" Lan said. "No, but he did say that he tested this virus on multiple Navi's, but they never lived to be tested again..." Megaman said, "He also said that it's more than a virus."
"What!" Lan said, "We need to tell everyone!"
"No!" Megaman shouted. "We at least need to tell Dad!" Lan argued. "I was planning to! I just don't want everyone, especially Roll, to worry." Megaman explained. "Well, ok... We need to get going to Scilab, or else we'll be late. We can tell Dad everything when we get there." Lan said as he grabbed his P.E.T, and headed to the Metroline.
Lan bolted through through the door into Dr. Hikari's lab. Everyone was standing around a monitor, showing Roll on the same table that she was on when she was effected.
"Can I technically call him late?" Mayl said. "Well... Roll isn't awake yet." Dex replied. "But Lan can never be on time." Tory spoke out. "Good point." Mayl said. "Come on guys!" Lan shouted, "Give me a break!" He walked over to the same monitor that everyone was standing around, and jacked Megaman in.
Megaman was jacked into the monitor, and was greeted by all of his friends. He didn't know how to respond. He gave them a small smile and a nod, and stood against the wall of the Comp.
"So ugh... Dex got new battle chip. Do you want to see?" Gutsman asked Megaman. (I really don't know how Gutsman talks, so, yea...) Thoughts were still going through Megaman's head. He shouldn't ruin this happy mood that every one was in. Not knowing that the virus isn't fully gone from Roll's systems.
"Sure Gutsman." Megaman smiled, as Gutsman handed him the Chip data. It was a Hammer *.
"That's a very good chip." Megaman said, "I can be very useful if you use your Geddon move." (The move were Gutsman destroys all of your panels.)
"Thanks." Gutsman replied. "Agh... Sorry to interrupt, but, I need to talk to Megaman privately." Protoman interrupted. "Sure thing." Gutsman said as Megaman handed back his Chip Data.
"What do you want to talk about?" Megaman asked, trying to suppress his sadness. "Something weird happened after you left yesterday." Protoman said. "What?" Megaman replied.
"All of the security footage from the time you came, to the time you left, was deleted." Protoman said, "I'm just not talking about the footage from the Navi's cell. No. ALL of the footage from around the Scilab prison was deleted."
"What?" Megaman spoke up slightly, "How?"
"That's what we're trying to figure out." Protoman said. They stood there thinking for a moment. "Ok..." Megaman said, "As long we still have him in custody, we should be fine."
"Alright." Protoman replied. "For the moment, lets just say that it was a convenience." Megaman said. "Ok." Protoman said, "But, I'll still have people look into it."
"Good idea." Megaman replied, and Protoman walked back to the group of Navies that were in front of them. "Ok everyone," Dr. Hikari said, "Roll's systems are successfully installed." Everyone cheered.
"Ok. Activating Roll in Three. Two. One." Dr. Hikari announced. Everyone held there breath. The pink Navi on table started to move. She sat up, and looked at everyone with a shocked expression.
"Mayl?" Megaman missed that cute, innocent voice. "Why are all these Navies looking at me?" Megaman just wanted to go and hug Roll as tight as he could, and never let go. "Well these Navi's are your friends." Mayl tried to explain, "We re-installed your systems, so you don't remember any of your original memories. But you'll remember them soon!"
Roll looked back at the group of Navies that were in front of her. "Um... Hi!" Roll gave them a big smile. Megaman gave another small smile. Seeing Roll's smile, really lightening his mode. "Hello Roll." Glyde spoke up, "Do you happen to remember any of us?" Roll looked at Glyde for a moment.
"Yes... I do remember you!" Roll pointed at Glyde. "What about Guts?" Gutsman pointed at himself. "Um... I remember you losing to a lot of Netbattles." Roll said with an innocent tone. Everyone laughed. Even Megaman cracked another smile.
"G... Guts!" Gutsman shouted, "At least she remember me!"
"I also you... and... you!" Roll pointed at both Iceman, and Protoman. "Well, what about our names?" Iceman asked. "Um... you name is... um... Iceman?" Roll stuttered. Everyone cheered. "This is looking good for her memory!" Dr. Hikari declared.
What about me?" Protoman asked. "Um... Pr... Py... Pyro Man?" Roll said. Everyone laughed. Even Protoman laughed. "No, but close! It was Protoman!" Protoman said. Megaman knew what was next. Roll was going to look around, and see him, if she hadn't already.
Everyone held there breath as Roll looked over at Megaman. He was just looking down at the ground, trying to ignore the countless gazes that were on him. "Um... I can't seem to remember you." Roll said. Megaman's mechanical heart sank into a endless abyss. Everybody gasped on the inside. They all new, except Gutsman who was as dense as Lan, that Megaman and Roll were more than just... friends.
"The... the name is Megaman." It was so hard for Megaman to say that without breaking down. He spent more time with Roll than any one of these people. She even remembered Protoman! Fucking Protoman! She only saw him like, four to five times in her "life".
"Nice to meet you again Megaman!" Roll said with that cute innocent voice. Megaman didn't reply. He looked down at the ground, trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to flow out of his eyes.
"Oh! How rude of me." Glyde said, "Let me introduce you to all of our operators." Glyde pointed to a window that showed everybody in the real world. "Are these all of you friends, Mayl?" Roll asked. "Well, some of them." Mayl said.
"Wait! I have a question." Lan said, "How come Roll remembered Mayl immediately when she was activated?"
"Oh! Thank you for reminding me," Dr. Hikari said, "You see, with a Customized Navi like Roll, she's programmed to recognize Mayl."
"But I thought she lost all her memories." Yia said. "Roll recognizing Mayl is programed in her systems, not in her memories." Dr. Hikari said. "Oh..." Lan awed. "Can everybody introduce themselves?" Mayl asked.
"Of course! I'm Dex, and I operat Gutsman!" Dex blurted out. "I'm Tory, and I operat Iceman." Tory said, trying not to stutter. "He's kinda shy." Iceman whispered to Roll. "Oh." Roll whispered back.
"I'm Lan, and I operat Megaman." Lan said. "I'm Yia, and I operat Glyde." Yia spoke up.
"What about the man with the white and black hair?" Roll asked, trying to describe Chaud. "Yea white and black hair man! Introduce yourself." Lan joked. Chaud shaked his head. "Come on!" Everyone erged. "Ok, ok." Chaud said, "I'm Chaud, and I operat Protoman."
"Now wasn't that hard?" Lan joked... again. "Don't push your luck." Chaud threatened.
"How about we show you around the net?" Iceman asked Roll. "Can I?" Roll looked at Mayl. "Why not?" Mayl replied. "Yea!" Roll cheered, "Where do we go first?"
"How about ACDC square?" Iceman asked everyone. "Guts will go with you guys!" Gutsman said. "I'll be more than delighted to go with." Glyde said. 'How about you Protoman?" Iceman asked. "Um, if I can then yea." Protoman said. "You can go Protoman. I can deal with what little work we had." Chaud said.
"Ok well, I guess I can go." Protoman smiled. "Great!" Iceman said, "Lets go!" Everybody, but Glyde and Megaman, started to walk towards the teleporter. "Glyde?" Iceman asked, "Are you coming?" Everybody stopped. "You guys go on." Glyde said, "I have to do something quick." Glyde motioned his head subtly towards Megaman. Iceman nodded, and everyone entered the teleporter.
"Megaman?" Glyde asked, "Do you want to come with us?" Megaman was still looking at the ground. Not making a sound. "N... No." Megaman sniffled. Still trying to hold back the tears, "I have some unfinished business." Then Megaman teleported away.
"It's been a while since we were all together," Yia said, "How about we all go out and walk around town?"
"Sounds like a great idea!" Mayl said. "I'm down for it." Dex said. "Lets go!" Lan said.
"How about you Chaud?" Yia asked. "Na." Chaud said, "I have work to do here at Scilab, that's why I was able to make it here, plus I should really be getting going."
"Oh, well, have a good day!" Yia said. "See you guys whenever." Chaud said, before walking out of the room. "Well, lets get going." Mayl said. "Already ahead of you." Dex said, heading for the elevator.
"I'll meet you guys in the lobby." Lan said, "I need to talk to my Dad about something."
"Don't take long Lan!" Yia said as the elevator door closed.
"Ah, Lan, if it's about what the Hell Navi said to Megaman, Chaud explained everything to me." Dr. Hikari said. "Great!" Lan said, "Less explaining on my part. I'm guessing that you didn't tell Mayl?"
"No." Dr. Hikari said, "I don't want to worry both Mayl and Roll right now."
"That's exactly what Megaman said!" Lan said, "Did you find a way to fix the virus for good?"
"No, we need Megaman to figure out that from the Hell Navi." Dr. Hikari explained. "It looks like he's heading there now." Lan said looking at his P.E.T, "Lets hope that he gets that answer out of the Hell Navi." Lan said goodbye to his father, and went down to the Scilab lobby, to meet up with Dex, Yia, Tory, and Mayl.
