I do not own Rockman/Megaman.
Hey. Sorry for the wait. Hope you enjoy the new chapter.

While everyone else danced, Saito and Netto sat on the sidelines, as if something was going to happen. Saito looked towards his future self, who sat upon his throne.

'That will be me soon enough.' Saito thought.

Across the room, War-Rock was trying to find a way to tell Subaru about what he was told. 'What to do? If I tell him, he won't believe me. If I don't tell him, he'll find out when the king announces it. Either way, he's in for quite a shock.'

"What's wrong?" Harp asked him.

"Deciding if I should tell Subaru or not. Either way, he's in for a shock." War-Rock said as he looked towards Subaru in concern.

"I think it'd be best to tell him. Better he get a heads up on it from his best friend. But there is something worrying me. Saito's file said he had only 1 kid."

"Maybe he didn't want anyone to know he had a daughter, too. If he went through people forcing their daughters on their son, maybe he didn't want his daughter to go through the same."

Subaru walked to the table where Saito and Netto sat. "Why are you guys just sitting? Aren't you used to going to these things?"

Netto sighed and rested his head in his hands. "I wasn't even allowed to go to these things til I was about 13. Even when I did, I was never liked by anyone."

"I was always the star of it all." Saito said. "They made me dance, mingle, and dance some more. The balls wouldn't even start til I was there. We just don't feel like repeating the process."

Subaru sat down with them for a minute. "Well, if you're not dancing why not ask your older self to send you home?"

"The King can't even leave his throne til the close of the ball and no one is allowed near him til then. We have to wait til he closes it. Which is after the final dance. One time, a ball went on for 3 days and the King and Queen can't leave to eat, drink, dance, or go to the bathroom." Saito said, as he dreaded the thought of not being able to have fun once he's crowned King.

"So basically, he's stuck there til he decides to close it."

"And the ball must go on til at least midnight."

Subaru saw Saito's point. "I feel so sorry for you."

Ran came up to ask if one of them would dance with her, when she heard them talking. "Not anymore", she said. "Papa changed it. He can get up to eat and dance whenever wants now, but he said he wants everyone to have fun before he says who big brother is. Come on and dance with me."

Just as Ran pulled Subaru up to dance with her, a crash was heard and something broke open the doors. It was Perseus and his gang. As they walked in, King Saito stood up and walked right up to the, asking, "What are you doing here? What do you want?"

Perseus replied in a tone of voice that was dripping in hatred. "Easy, Your Majesty. All we want is Rockman's death." And he lunged for Netto, but the King was fast enough to protect him by pulling out a hidden sword.

Everyone fled. War-Rock and Harp removed their pendants and Denpa Henkan with Subaru and Misora. Raika, Maylu and Enzan used Crossfusion to defend Saito and Netto, who somehow couldn't Crossfuse. They figured it was close to the coronation in their time and that the closer it came, the less Saito could become a NetNavi. Saito even removed the pendant keeping him looking human, but nothing changed.

Amachi pulled a couple little devices out of his coat and handed them to Saito and Netto. "When they come near, just point and click like a TV remote. It should stun them for a while."

Perseus and King Saito fought on. "Time travel isn't as easy as it looks, King. Just to rid us of Rockman, we tried to kill the younger you, but we just found out the brat lived on. So we decided it had to be your brother who was his ancestor."

"Didn't know I survived?" the king said as he swung the sword forward.

"Not til an hour before the ball. We overheard you talking with our king and the others. We won't fail this time." Perseus leaped up and, without even being noticed, lunged for Saito.

Subaru saw this, broke his fight with one of Perseus' minion and nearly got run through the shoulder saving Saito.

"Two birds with one stone." Perseus held them down with his foot. As he swung his sword, the king knocked it out.

"Kill me if you want," his voice was low and deathly, "but don't touch my younger self or my son."

If it weren't for the fact everyone was distracted by fighting the room would have fallen deathly silent like Saito, Netto and Subaru did.

"Finally admit it in front of the boy?"

"Tell me one thing. Why are you truly doing this? And why did you use Zortos to try and kill me?" King Saito pointed his sword to Perseus' face.

"Easy. Be rid of younger you, Subaru is never born, he never becomes Rockman, Cassiopeia never suffers as she did, and we don't get our hands dirty."

"If you want her, you can have her." War-Rock exclaimed. "She was a nut-job."

Perseus gave Subaru a death glare and swung towards him, but King Saito stood strong and protected him. "Leave my son alone! Fight me instead!"

Subaru sat in shock. 'I'm the prince? Saito is my dad?' He was in such a shock he didn't notice one of Perseus' henchmen lunged for him til younger Saito shoved him out of the way.

"Snap out of it, Subaru. We're in the middle of a fight." Saito shook Subaru, but he could not snap him out of it. They didn't even notice henchmen had surrounded them.

Amachi turned to see them in danger and knocked one out the best he could, but got seriously injured in the process.

"Amachi-san!" Subaru snapped out of his shock to see Amachi hurt. He stood up and fought on while Saito, with help from Netto, dragged Amachi out of the fight.

"Do us a favor, hang in there." Saito half begged Amachi. He was injured in his left shoulder. The wound stopping just centimeters from his heart and lungs.

Amachi lets out a very quiet laugh. "Don't worry about me...just get out while you have a chance, Saito."

"I can't...Amachi...you're...you're..." Saito said, trying hard not to cry.

"Your brother...but what kind of brother would I be...to let you be killed. Take Subaru...and escape."

"Amac...Netto-kun, I can't."

"'Netto-kun'. I haven't been called...by my real name...in so long." Amachi's breath came in short gasps.

Perseus broke away from his fight with the king to see Saito vulnerable. He ran to strike with the king fought his way through. Just as Perseus brought his sword down on Saito's head, Saito reached behind him to stop the sword with one hand.

The aura around him had changed. His powers were returning. He used the Rock Buster to shoot Perseus across the room. The room stood quiet. Instead of helping their leader, Perseus' henchmen ran away when they sensed the change in Saito.

The Rock Buster disappeared and in his hand was a sword. Peresus stood and fought him only to be injured and unable to move. It took all the will power he had left to leave Peresus where he lay. That's when everyone noticed Amachi fatally wounded.

"Help us get him to the infrimary." the older Enzan said. Netto helped get Amachi up and everyone followed them as they ran out.

Peresus stood up while everyone's back was turned and lunged for Saito again with a dagger. As he turned, Saito held the sword out and closed his eyes. Roll had run back in to see Saito in danger. Every thing felt like it went in slow motion.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the dagger was an inch from his face. He looked down to see Peresus impaled on the sword, then fall dead.

Saito stood in shock. He had killed someone, even if it was accidental. He collasped to his knees and tears began to streak down his cheek.

Roll knelt down and held Saito to her, whispering to him that it was going to be okay.

The battle did not come out as well as i hoped. Spent nearly 2 years trying to get it right. Again sorry for the wait for the new chapter.
