Mega Man Battle Network Heroes

Chapter 7

Gospel's Fury

"Detonator Man, prepare for the assault on ACDC square, Roll Exe is there. Capture her first. Don't worry about Paladin Man; he's currently undergoing an update so he won't be there." Blaze said.

"Excellent." Detonator Man said as he logged onto the net.

"Meanwhile I will test Lan's loyalties…" Blaze smirked as he left the room with the PET's of Detonator Man and Paladin Man. Both were hidden.

"I wonder how he will respond to the E-mails…" Blaze whispered as he exited Lan's home.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Lan!" Detonator Man's back and he's attacking ACDC square again!" Mega Man called to him.

"Again? This is getting old!" Lan rolled out of bed even though it was only ten in the morning and rushed over to Mega Man.

Just as Lan was about to Jack Mega Man in he received a set of E-mails.

"Open them, they might help us find out what's going on." Lan said.

"Right here's the first one."

Lan looked down on the screen and saw the first of the emails.

To: Lan

From: Mayl

Subject: Roll's in trouble!

Lan! Detonator Man has captured Roll. I can't do anything to help her! Please save her Lan.

Lan ground his teeth in fury. Detonator Man knew Mega Man had an affinity to Roll and was exploiting it. Even as Lan was storming over the problem with Roll Mega Man opened the Next E-Mail

To: Lan

From: Gospel Agent

Subject: Test

Let's see how well you function when you know your friends are in trouble. If you want your friend Dex to survive you will do exactly what I say. I will allow you to confront Detonator Man. If you lose or don't show up, both Roll and Dex will die. If you win you will receive notice on where to go next.

Lan smacked his head against the desk. Whoever this agent was he was dangerous. Mega Man opened yet another e-mail.

To: Lan

From: Blaze

Subject: I can't help sry

Sorry Lan I heard about the Net but Paladin Man is undergoing an extensive update and is offline. I sent word to the Officials and they said some guy named Chaud would be on his way. Isn't he the one you were with when you first met me? Anyways, good luck.

"As if I couldn't get more bad news!" Lan grumbled.

"I know we can only follow the agent's orders though if we want Dex and Roll to survive."

"Jack In! Mega Man! Execute!"

A few minutes later Mega Man was facing off against Detonator Man again.

"I was beginning to wonder if you were going to show up." Detonator Man smirked.

"Who is the agent that's captured Dex?" Lan demanded.

"Like I'd tell a brat like you." Detonator Man replied.

Mega Man glanced around while Lan and Detonator Man traded insults. He saw that Detonator Man had indeed caught Roll.

"That's it!" Mega Man shouted angrily.

"Right! Mega Man Battle routine set!"

"Execute!" Mega Man began firing off a volley of blasts from his Mega Buster.

Lan sent Mega Man a Gold Fist which he used to smash into the face of Detonator Man. While Detonator Man was still reeling Lan sent a sword, followed by a wide sword, and finished with a long sword. The three chips combined and created the Life Sword which Mega Man struck at the still reeling Detonator Man.

Detonator Man stumbled and dropped to one knee.

"Step Sword!" Lan said as he sent the Step Sword to Mega Man.

Mega Man teleported next to Detonator Man and struck him with the step sword.

Lan sent two Elec Swords to Mega Man.

Mega Man savagely struck the stunned Detonator Man.

"If I can't kill you head to head I'll destroy every thing!" Detonator Man roared.

"Final Detonation!" Detonator Man roared.

Lan gasped and sent a barrier 200 to Mega Man. Mega Man rushed in front of Roll. The explosion erupted from Detonator Man and would have eliminated Mega Man if it weren't for the barrier 200 battlechip. As it was Mega Man protected Roll but took heavy damage. Mega Man looked out at where Detonator Man had been in complete exhaustion. Detonator Man was no more.

"Mega!" Roll cried and hugged him.

"Roll… Are you okay?" Mega Man asked as his legs gave out.

Roll supported him and then spoke.

"Thanks to you." She said.

"….R…..l…..Ro…….Rol…..Roll….yo…….Roll, can you hear me?" Mayl's voice came over the communication systems of Roll's PET.

"I'm okay thanks to Mega, but he's hurt pretty bad. Can I stay with him and give him a hand while he gets back on his feet?"

"Roll?" Mayl asked.

"Mega got hurt thanks to me. I want to help him out." Roll explained.

"Okay." Mayl sighed.

"Thanks Mayl."

Mayl deactivated her PET and Mega Man whispered to Lan tiredly.

"Lan, you have another email." Mega Man attempted to stand properly but started to collapse again.

Roll caught him before he fell.

"I'll support you okay Mega?" Roll asked.

"Alright." Mega Man whispered.

Lan opened the email manually since Mega Man was so exhausted.

To: Lan

From: Gospel Agent

Subject: Orders

Well done, you defeated Detonator Man. Still, he was merely a pawn. Now, listen, if you want Dex to live jack out and come to the warehouse in ACDC; the old abandoned one. I know Roll is with you so as to make this a bit of a challenge for me I've included in this attachment a special upgrade so that a PET can hold two Navi's. If she wants Roll can use this attachment to be in the same PET with your Navi. You best be ready to do exactly what I say. I might advise you to let Roll's operator know if Roll decides to join you in this. Otherwise she may hate you later on.

Lan quickly explained the situation to Roll and Mega Man.

"I'll come with you." Roll said instantly.

"No…It's too dangerous…" Mega Man protested feebly.

"Mega, you are always risking everything for us. Now it's my turn." Roll responded.

"Roll…"

"Besides, I'll expect Lan to operate me." Roll added.

"Huh?" Mega Man looked at her in confusion.

"Really, Mega! Your operator is one of the best. You believe in him but I do too." Roll explained.

"Thanks Roll." Lan said.

Roll smiled and she blushed faintly.

"No thanks needed, I just want to help Mega." Roll explained as her blush grew.

WELL ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE ADDED TO THIS STORY, WERE YOU BEGINNING TO THINK I WAS NEVER GOING TO UPDATE IT AGAIN?

NO, IT JUST TOOK A WHILE TO DECIDE WHERE I WANTED IT TO GO. IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING...

THINGS ARE GOING TO REALLY HEAT UP

GETTING READY FOR THE GRADUATION PARTY ISN'T AN EASY TASK... (I'M KINDA TIRED)
