Mega Man Battle Network Heroes
Chapter 10
Shadow's of Gospel
"Where are we going?" Lan asked the robotic Kid Grave.
They were on a helicopter and headed away from ACDC town.
"Does it matter?" Kid Grave answered his question with a question.
"I think it kind of does." Lan replied heatedly.
"Oh really? What makes you think that?" Kid Grave asked.
"…You are just going to answer questions with questions aren't you?" Lan asked.
"What gives you that idea?" Kid Grave asked tauntingly in his robotic voice.

"Mega, what functions does this PET have?" asked him.
"Quite a number but no form of GPS if that's what you where thinking of." Mega Man replied.
"No, I was thinking we could connect to Proto Man and he could locate us by tracking our signal once we arrived at wherever we are going." Roll replied.
"I don't think it'll work so well." Mega Man said sadly.
"Why not?" Roll asked.
"Well, it's mainly because of the fact that this PET is shielded against all forms of tracing." Mega Man replied.
"What?" Roll asked in shock.
"Lan's dad made it that way for his safety." Mega Man explained.
"Gospel must've known that." Roll said thoughtfully.
"That's quite likely." Mega Man agreed.
"What can we do then?" Roll asked in frustration.
"I don't know yet. We need to know what's happening and the geography before any attempt at escape or tearing Gospel down occur." Mega Man replied.
"Well…We have to wait." Roll grumbled.
"Exactly."

"Sir, could I search and see if I could find anything out on the net at the very least?"
"No. It's too chaotic right now to jack in to the network."
"Sir, Please! I must aid Mega Man and his operator. They have a nobility far greater than most others! I beg of you to allow this!" Paladin Man pleaded.

What was happening Paladin Man was pleading with him. Paladin Man never opposed Blaze…Until now. Blaze didn't understand it.
"Paladin Man…"
"This is something I must do, I vowed to serve you loyally but this is something even greater than a single vow sir. I'll do whatever it takes to save them."
"They can't be saved." Blaze replied sharply.
"I won't believe it. Gospel can be beaten, it can fall. We can stop them. We have the power Blaze."
"No…Gospel is too strong, it is immortal…"
"Blaze?" Paladin Man asked.
Blaze's eyes cleared for a second, and they retained some of their forgotten sharpness. His memory was sharpened for a second.
"But then again…Why should they be in charge? Alright. Jack in! Paladin Man execute!"
"Paladin Man I'm a little sharper right now than I have been. Unfortunately, it probably won't last long. Go to Global Net and look for the old WWW server entrance. It should take you to a place where you can get your information. Paladin Man, I hate to say this but, you'll be on your own."
"Sir?" Paladin Man asked.
"I know that you know there's something wrong with me…That's part of it…huh? What's going on? Paladin Man?" Blaze was suddenly confused.
"You jacked me in to do some work sir."
"Oh, alright then. Carry on. Call me if you need a hand…"

When the helicopter landed on the small island fortress Lan followed the taller Kid Grave.
Finally when they were inside Lan asked Kid Grave a question.
"Why have you brought me here?" Lan demanded.
The doors shut and Kid Grave turned and faced him.
"To do to you what we did to get our best operative. Ha-ha-ha…But, you shall see soon enough what I speak of. Your quarters are right over there."
"Do to me what you did to get your best operative?" Lan asked in total confusion.
"You shall see. Just go to your room. Now." Kid Grave ordered.
"Alright…Fine." Lan grumbled as he left.
SO NOW THE MYSTERY DEEPENS...WELL, I HOPE THAT IT IS A GOOD THING THAT I'VE RETURNED...(WAS IT? PLEASE TELL ME.)
