"Maylu!! Maylu!! MAYLU PLEASE WAKE UP!!" Whoever had turned the sound all the way up on Maylu's PET was going to die later that day. Maylu groggily rolled over in her bed and opened her eyes slowly to still hear someone calling her name.

"MAYLU!!! MAYLU!! MAYLU!!!! GET UP PLEASE!!"

"Roll?" Maylu said, becoming more awake. She climbed down the ladder of her bed and sat down in front of her computer. She glanced at the digital clock beside it.

'3:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning and Roll is having issues.'  Maylu thought, sighing.

"Maylu! You're up! Mega and Lan need our help!"

That instantly woke Maylu up, "What's going on?"

"Apparently, someone is destroying things all over the Net. And rumor has it, it's Gutsman. Mega went to go look into it and was bombarded by viruses. I don't know how long he can hold on..." Roll's face was flushed with worry and Maylu automatically was concerned as well.

"Roll, jack in! Execute!" Maylu plugged her in and watched as Roll got to their home page.

"Roll, find your boyfriend and help him out. I'm gonna go check on something, I'll be right back."

"Ok Maylu."

Maylu nodded and ran to her window. Pushing the curtains away, she looked out and saw Lan's light on. Maylu tossed a rock, that she had placed on her desk the day before and waited until Lan opened his window.

"Lan! What's going on?!" She said in the loudest whisper she could manage.

"Someone's attacking the Net." Lan replied, taking his eyes off of his computer to look at Maylu.

"Do you know who it is?"

"It's Gutsman. And he's furious. I think...he's just as mad about Megaman and Roll's relationship, as Dex is about ours."

"Oh no...Lan, look what we've done." Maylu said, her hands gripping the window sill harder.

"We haven't done anything wrong. Unless us being together is wrong..."

"NO! That's not what I was saying, Lan."

"But that's what I meant." Lan replied, his eyes going back to his computer. His eyes widened, "Maylu, get back to your computer! Roll and Megaman need our help!"

Maylu ran back, leaving the window open in her haste to get to the computer. Lan was right, the two navis did need their help. Roll was kneeling next to Megaman, who was gripping his arm, pain showing on his face.

"Roll! What happened?!" Maylu cried, gripping the sides of her desk.

"Maylu! Finally! Megaman is hurt and these viruses won't stop!" Roll replied, looking very worried.

"Roll, I'm sending you some battle chips! MiniBoomer Battle Chip in! Download!" Maylu threw the chip into her PET and watched as the little bomb formed in Roll's hand. She tossed it into the huge group of viruses and waited until the smoke cleared.

"It worked! Almost half of them are gone!" Megaman said, trying to stand up.

"Mega, please be careful." Roll said, quietly to him.

"Roll, I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Keep getting rid of the viruses. Lan, can I get some help here?" Megaman called up, hoping Lan could still hear him.

"FullRecover Battle Chip in! Download!" Megaman began to glow oddly and then he stood up, like nothing was wrong with him from the beginning.

"Thanks Lan! Come on, Roll! We have some viruses to delete!" (Super corny, I know.) Megaman said, smiling.

Roll nodded.

"Megaman, use your blaster." Lan said, into the PET. Megaman nodded and began shooting at the viruses around him

"Roll! Blaster Battle Chip in! Download!" A pink blaster appeared on Roll's right hand and she shot until the viruses around her were gone.

"They're gone! Keep going!" Lan and Maylu said together. Roll and Megaman nodded, running forward to SciLab Square. In SciLab Square, navis ran by screaming their heads off.

"He's gone mad!!" A yellow navi cried, jumping into the portal to SciLab 1.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" A female navi in yellow screamed loudly. She was being held up in the air by her neck; another yellow navi with big black hands, choking. With one final squeeze of those hands, she was deleted in front of Megaman and Roll's eyes.

"Mega!" Roll cried, turning to him. Her eyes were large with horror and she looked as if she was about to cry.

"Roll, I know. I saw too."

The large yellow navi looked at the two with eyes the color of blood red and glared at them both.

"Roll and Megaman. How pleasant to see you." The navi said, looking between the two.

"G-gutsman?" Roll said, looking at him. He had changed, a lot. He was still yellow and large, but now he was smart too and on his back was a huge W3 in green.

"Roll. How are you? Are you and little boyfriend happy? Huh?! Well, I'm not!" Gutsman threw both of his fists down and Roll watched as the ground began to come up. A huge gust of air followed behind it, aimed at the two.

"Roll! Move!" Maylu cried, watching as Megaman jumped in and snatched her out of the way.

"Roll, you can't freeze up. If you do, he will delete you." Megaman told her sternly. Roll nodded and waited for Gutsman to move again. He did, throwing the same attack at them. Roll jumped out of the way on her own this time and glared angrily at Gutsman.

"Cut it out! We didn't do anything to you!!" Roll cried, her eyes showing her anger. Megaman glanced at Roll and shivered, she was getting really ticked.

"Yes, you did. You....you whore! You did something to me! You made me love you! And then you went and followed little blue boy around! That's what you did to me!!" Gutsman ran up and threw a punch at Roll, which she dodged. Roll glared at him somemore, while he continued to throw punches at her.

"Well then why are you trying to hurt Megaman too? If you're upset with me, then fine! But keep Mega out of it!" Roll yelled at him, while barely dodging another punch.

"He did something to me too. He always beat me. In everything. Always. In battles. In smarts. Even concerning you, he came out on top! And you just ran to him because you think he's better than me! I bet he doesn't even love you like I did!" Gutsman's blood red eyes became an even darker red as he became angrier. Suddenly all the lights went out in SciLab Square and it was dead quiet.

"So you're jealous of him? Is that it? HA!! Gutsman is jealous of you, Mega! Can you believe that?" Roll said, breaking the silence, with a smirk on her face.

"Roll, I don't think you should've done that..." Megaman said, getting more worried by the minute.

"And right you are Megaman! As usual!" Gutsman said, from behind him. The lights came back on and Gutsman had picked Megaman up, and was holding him by the neck, like he had done the female navi earlier.

"MEGA!!" Roll whipped around to see Gutsman choking Megaman and she knew he'd run out of air in a little while.

"Roll..." Megaman whispered, and then with one last look at her he passed out.

"MEGAMAN!!" Lan's voice rang throughout SciLab Square and Roll ran quickly to where Megaman had fallen to scoop him up and put him off to the side before Gutsman could grab her as well. She ran her shaking hands over his neck, seeing the bruises Gutsman had put on him. With a flick of her antennas she scanned him and made sure he was alright.

"Lan, he's ok. He should wake up soon. But right now, I need you to get to Maylu as soon as possible. She needs your help in battle strategies because" She looked up at Gutsman, with angry tear spilling down her face," Gutsman is about to get killed." Roll kissed Megaman softly on the lips, before standing back up with her shoulders shaking and her head down. Every step she took towards Gutsman was slow and angry, and when she finally brought her head up to give him the meanest look she could give, Gutsman shivered slightly. Even in his angered state, the sight of a very angry Roll scared him.

In the Real World

"Maylu, I'm coming over there." Lan whispered out his window.

"How?" Maylu said, running to her window.

"I'm gonna come across by rope. Here!" Lan tossed one end of a rope as far as he could and Maylu surprisingly caught it.

"Where did you get the rope from?" Maylu said, holding it.  (I wonder where he got it from too...)

"Don't worry about that, tie it to your bed pole; on the side closest to the window." Lan said, climbing out of his window and sitting on the sill, after he had tied it to his bed post as well.

"Please be careful." Maylu said running back to the window after tying it to her bed.

"Ok. Here I go." Lan crawled as far out of his window as he could, and then grabbed the rope with one hand. He turned himself the other way, facing his bedroom and eased himself down until the only part of him that was on the window sill was....well, nothing. He hung onto the rope for dear life and then started swing his legs, switching from left hand to right hand. He made his way slowly across the rope, finally reaching Maylu's window sill. Maylu gave him one of her hands and he took it allowing her to help him through her window. Instead of going in quietly, Maylu yanked on his hand too hard and they both fell onto the window seat, with Lan laying on top of Maylu. Lan laughed quietly and smiled, but Maylu had other ideas. She leaned in and kissed him on the mouth, using her tongue to play with his.

"Maylu..." Lan whispered, against her mouth.

"Hmmmm......?"

"We have to help Roll, remember? We can have our fun later." Lan said, pulling away from Maylu.

"Sorry. I got caught up." Maylu said, with a smile. She waited until Lan got off of her to get up and the two rushed to her computer to see Roll dodging Gutsman. Every now and again, she'd catch him off guard and punch him.

"Roll?" Maylu asked, looking worriedly at her navi. Roll was angry, she could tell that, but she hand never seen Roll that angry.

In the Cyber World

"Maylu, send me the CyberSword Battle Chip." Roll demanded.

"CyberSword Battle Chip in! Download!" Maylu threw it into the slot on her PET and watched as a pink sword appeared on Roll's left hand. She didn't do anything with it for a while until Gutsman ran at her. She moved out of the way, and then spun around and with one strong swipe, data flowed out of Gutsman.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!"

"Do you want more, Gutsboy? Are you just a boy since you lost your guts too?" Roll said, with an angry smirk.

Gutsman gave a cry and ran at Roll again, who dodged and then kicked him in the back of the head. Roll laughed at him, an angry laugh that was meant to tick Gutsman off. Which it did.

"Dex! Turn out the lights again! I have a few things to show Ms. Roll." Gutsman said, yelling up at someone. The lights flickered and then came off.

"Are you laughing now, Roll? No, your not. Are you having any fun? You were earlier...Why aren't you having any fun now?" Gutsman said, trying to make her afraid.

Roll closed her eyes in the dark,"Maylu, send me another battle chip."

"Water Tower Battle Chip in! Download!"

Roll's eyes shot open, "Actually Gutsman, I'm still having lots of fun beating you down. Water Tower!"

The lights came back on and Roll watched as her water tower hit Gutsman right on point. She laughed again and then smirked, "The dark doesn't scare me. And neither do you."

"LongSword Battle Chip in!" Maylu sent Roll another chip.

"Ugh....Lan? Lan, what's going on? Why....Why does my neck hurt so much?" Megaman whispered as loudly as he could. He had woken up, when he heard the water tower.

"Megaman, you're awake!"

"W-what's Roll doing?!" Megaman watched the battle, his eyes wide. He knew Roll was strong, but not as strong as she was now. And he had never seen Roll angry either.

"Beating down Gutsman...What does it look like?" Maylu said with a smile. She was happy Roll was winning. She had never seen her navi fight that hard, but it seemed like Roll was hardly working.

"Roll! Don't kill him!!" Megaman said, sitting up.

"Too late, Mega." Roll said her voice dead serious. She swiped her sword down, leaving a large data stream flowing out of Gutsman.

"Gutsman log out!!" A voice yelled and Gutsman disappeared.

"He better not come back." Roll smiled tiredly and actually meant it. She began to sway and then fell to her knees.

"Roll!" Megaman cried, from his spot on the ground. He tried to get up, but couldn't.

"I-I'm fine." Roll said, standing up and staggering slightly.

"Roll..."

"Mega, hush. I'm fine." Roll walked over to him, "Are you alright now?"

"Yeah. I'm alright now. Thanks to you."

"I'm glad, you're ok now." Roll said, with a smile. She fell to her knees again and then fell forward, right on top of Megaman.

"Roll...you worked yourself tired. You saved my life...my angel," Megaman kissed Roll on the forehead. "Lan, can you get us out of here?"

"Yup. Megaman, jack out!"

"Roll, jack out!" Maylu said, bringing her tired navi back to her PET.
