And now our story takes another sharp turn, we shall now introduce new characters to our little story.

As the Dark Star troops attacked the SciLabs building a small force stood outside. Heading this force was a human girl named Kelly Takirano. She was about fifteen, and beside her stood her navi Sarioma.

Kelly had long blonde hair that stopped shortly after her shoulders, blue eyes, and she wore a green ribbon in her hair. She wore a light blue shirt with navy blue jeans and held a pistol at her waist. She had joined Dark Star, and Irashi, after Irashi had adopted her from her abusive parents. She always thought Irashi was a strange man, but he was kind to her so she obeyed him.

Sarioma was a male navi that Kelly had gotten as a birthday present from her parents when she was five, and they had been together since then. Sarioma was a slim navi, with greenish hair. Like all navis he wore a symbol on his chest, which was two swords crossed and behind them was a small eye. His suit was almost a scarlet red, except he had a stripe of gold that stretched from his neck, around the symbol, and trailed down both legs. Strangely enough, unlike most navis, he didn't have a normal buster. Instead he had a gun that fired arrows like bullets.

"Miss Kelly are you alright?" Sarioma asked his operator and friend as she went pale.

"…I think I'm going to be sick?"

"Why? If I may ask."

"I hate fighting, and killing, and these navis…or reploids…whatever Irashi calls them…they kill and destroy with no remorse at all…"

"They are as if killing machines that hold no emotion."

"I know…and…I hate this."

Kelly turned toward the patrol group behind her when she saw something; a glint of light ran into a bush near the side of SciLabs.

She moved toward it, and her navi followed, but the group behind her didn't.

She continued walking toward the light she had saw and gripped her gun, her navi readied to attack.

"You! Come out!"

Maylu ran toward a small patch of bushes, but before she could X pushed her into the nearest one and dived in behind her.

"X!"

"There's someone who saw us…there coming this way."

"Load your buster than."

"I'm ready."

Then they heard a voice, a female voice.

"You! Come out!"

X was about to shoot, when Maylu stopped him.

"We surrender first, then fight." Maylu whispered to him. Slowly the two of them rose up and saw the girl and her navi.

"Who are you!?" the girl asked.

"…I am Max." X said before Maylu could stop him.

"And I'm…Sara" Maylu said, she knew what X was doing, trick this girl into thinking you're on her side then stop her from killing the others.

"Well then, I'm Kelly and he's Sarioma."

"Well hello."

"What where you doing in that bush?"

"Oh, I tripped and accidently fell on her pushing her in. Sorry." X said.

"Well you to need to get out of here, I see no Dark Star badge on your cloths."

Megaman opened the large door to the main room of the new Dark Star headquarters, inside the Clock Tower.

Two reploids in black walked toward him and grabbed Roll from him, pulling her to the side.

A large lift lowered at the northern end of the hall and Irashi stepped from it.

"Ah Megaman, how nice of you to join us."

"Irashi! What have you done to Mega!?" Roll screamed, trying to lunge at him causing the guards to jerk forward.

"Now don't worry Roll, Megaman will be fine…once I take all his powers and data away."

"What!?"

"You see the Posada virus that Dr. Damatrias created has taken his data and sent it to me. It has also began to siphon away his energy, and control him, soon Megaman will cease to exists."

"NO!"

"YES! HAHAHAHA! And those two guards who hold you now, they were made from Megaman's data, so I would call them, Megaman's son's in a way."

Roll spat at Irashi in disgust. Irashi grumbled and motion for the guards to take her away.

"I…want to…protect…her…"Megaman said.

"I know Megaman, and I will help. Now please step this way."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Hikari opened his eyes and felt a powerful pain fill his body. He lifted from the floor he lay on and saw he was in a dark building, as he glanced around he saw Lan and Chaud, both awake, sitting on large benches in the small room they were in.

"Hey dad." Lan said.

"L-Lan! Good your ok."

"Yeah I'm fine…"

"So where are we?"

Chaud answered. "Dark Star's headquarters inside an old Clock Tower. We're in an underground sewer, that was converted into a jail."

"Ah…I hope Maylu got away safely…"

"Maylu!" Lan said standing, he had worried about her and had wondered where she was.

"Yes…I sent her away with X…I wanted her to find help and come back to us…but we were taken here so…"

"Well don't worry. Irashi doesn't have a reason to kill us…yet…"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Protoman had waited long enough for Chaud to save him. This entire time he had sat in a jail cell, that was made of one wall of stone and three of electric energy, and tried to communicate with the outside world, which, after many tries, finally worked.

Now a boy and his navi where on their way to where Protoman was held to save him. Protoman jumped up and walked toward the cell wall and tried to put his hand through it, but the electrical power of the wall hurt his hand, and he quickly regretted it.

Protoman then decided to use his sword to cut the electric wall, but that only shocked him even more.

Giving up he slumped down into the chair in his cell when he noticed something. Near the other side of the room was a large crate that was against the stone wall. He stood and moved the crate to the side when he saw a small box. Quickly he opened the box and saw a small keyboard; it consisted of three numbers and two letters.

Protoman knew it would take a while to crack the code, so he looked around the room for any sign of a code. Nothing on the floor, nothing on the wall, Protoman angrily kicked the small barrel that was inside the room.

Then I hit him, there where tree barrels in the room, and each one had the letter A on it.

He walked to the keyboard and entered 3A. There was a ping and the number and letter turned green.

"One down, two to go…"
