"I'm scanning the attachment…No viruses detected." Roll announced.
"Excellent. Go ahead and install it." Lan ordered.
"Just a second Lan." Roll said before a screen appeared on the PET.

"Well?" Lan asked.
"It's clean. Everything is a-okay. I'll enter the PET. After I do jack Mega Man out okay?"
"Alright Roll." Lan agreed and then a second later he saw Roll on the left side of his PET.
Lan looked at her quizzically.
"You're on the left side of the PET." He explained to her after she noticed his look.
"That's probably so you can see both Navi's at once." She explained.
"Right. Jack out Mega Man." Lan jacked his exhausted Navi out.
Mega Man appeared on the right side of Lan's PET. A moment later the two of them looked at the opposite side of the screen. Roll let out a squeal of delight as she rushed over to Mega Man. As soon as she reached him Roll pulled Mega Man into a hug.
Roll was facing away from a now smirking Lan. Mega Man blushed as he noticed Lan's face. A few seconds later Lan stopped smirking at them and put his PET in its customary place.
"Well, let's hit the road." Lan whispered as he dashed towards the abandoned warehouse.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Mega Man's blush didn't go away even after Lan had stopped smirking at him. When they arrived at the Warehouse and Lan let them know Roll finally let go. Fortunately for Mega Man the color in his face had returned to normal just before she had released him.
"Roll, Mega Man whoever kidnapped Dex isn't making this easy on us. The door is locked." Lan said.
"Jack me in and I'll take care of it." Roll replied.
"Okay. Jack in Roll!" Lan said as he jacked her into the access console.
Inside the Console computer system it was nearly pitch black. Only the center access system emitted a pale blue light.
A few seconds later she smiled as she unlocked the door.
"That was easy." Roll noted.
"Unfortunately for you it wasn't quite as easy as you might expect." A voice said from out of nowhere.
"Who's there?" Roll demanded.
"Indeed, your future looks bleak little girl." Another voice said from the shadows.
"There are two of you?" Roll asked as she readied herself for combat.
"Yes…Prepare to be exterminated by the combined powers of Buster Man and Blade Man."
Roll looked around desperately as she tried to see her enemies. Suddenly a purple bolt of energy shot at her. Roll quickly rolled out of the way before standing again.
"This is going to be tough Roll." Lan warned.
"I know, but I believe that you'll find a way to win." Roll replied as she ducked under another shot.
"I'll do what I can." Lan promised.
"Airshoes, lava field download!" Lan shouted as he downloaded the two chips.
"Roll use the Airshoes to hover and let the lava damage the enemy." Lan ordered.
"Right!" Roll agreed.
She held herself in place while the heat began to take its toll on the foes. After a time the heat vanished as did the effects of the Airshoes.
"Firesword download!" Lan shouted.
"Use it to see a little better." Lan explained.
"Okay." Roll agreed and began to wave the sword around in an attempt to find her foes. She as she did she managed to see the gleam of a black blade descending on her.
"Guard!" Lan shouted as he sent a guard battlechip to Roll.
The mettaur shell appeared in front of roll and the black blade struck it. Instantly the guard battlechip retaliated with a shockwave of energy.
Roll continued to battle valiantly and with Lan's help she was doing well. However, she didn't have the stamina that Mega Man had nor did she have his impressive attack power. This meant that she was slowly losing the battle. It was only a matter of time before she was going to be overwhelmed by the fierce attacks of the other two Navi's. She still hadn't actually seen them either which meant she was busy dodging attacks and had no time to spare to look for them.
"Lan, things are looking really bad here!" Roll panted as she ducked under the sword strike from Blade Man.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lan looked his remaining chips before he growled in frustration. He was running out of options. Roll wasn't his Navi and Lan wasn't sure if Mayl would forgive him if he let Roll get deleted. Lan knew that he could never forgive himself if that happened.
"Lan, there you are… Let me guess you're having trouble there." Chaud said as he approached Lan.
Lan nodded.
"Yeah, Roll is having a hard time and Mega Man is too injured to help her."
"Roll?" Chaud frowned.
"It's a really long story, would you mind giving me a hand though?" Lan asked.
Chaud nodded.
"That's why I'm here. It's my duty as an official."
A second later Proto Man entered the console.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Engage Blind Mode Proto Man." Chaud ordered.
"Yes sir." Proto Man agreed.
A second later and two slashes later Buster Man and Blade Man were deleted.
"Thanks Proto Man." Roll said as she caught her breath.
"I'm just doing what my operator ordered. Thank him if you are going to thank anyone." Proto Man replied.
I'VE ALREADY FINISHED THE NEXT CHAPTER OF THIS STORY TOO.
MY OTHER STORY 'MEGA MAN ZERO OMEGA' IS CURRENTLY GROUND TO A HALT AND AS SOON AS I GET PAST THE DIFFICULTIES I'LL CONTINUE.
THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT I NEED TO LOOK AT THE BOSSES THAT I HAVEN'T MENTIONED YET. (I'VE FORGOTTEN NAMES! IMPOSSIBLE...)
