Megaman ran at Doppler, he knew that he had hurt Dr. Hikari, he knew he was the one who hurt Lan and Chaud, he knew he had to stop him! As Megaman ran forward Doppler merely turned toward the door at the back of the room and began to back away from him.

Just as Megaman was about to reach a good firing distance at Doppler, MidnightMan jumped in front of the bullets and deflected them.

Doppler chuckled as he now stood toward the back of the room.

"…As much as I would love to stay and watch your demise Megaman, I have other more important matters to attend to. So I must say goodbye, until we meet again." Said Doppler with a deep bow.

Protoman ran at him as well, he lunged forward; MidnightMan suddenly burst into a cloud of data and rearranged itself in front of Protoman, knocking him to the floor. Julius merely stood in the shadows and watched.

Doppler then burst into a large cloud of purple colored cubes of data and was gone. Leaving Megaman, Julius, Protoman, and MidnightMan in the large computer room alone…and of course Dr. Hikari.

Julius walked over to Dr. Hikari and placed his figures on his neck. Protoman hauled himself up off the floor as MidnightMan began to chuckle cruelly.

"Well?" Megaman asked eyeing MidnightMan devilishly.

Julius bowed his head.

"……I will take Dr. Hikari to the others….he is weak….not dead…but…without help he soon will be. Good luck Megaman." Julius said as he too burst into a cloud of data, as did Dr. Hikari.

MidnightMan looked at the two navis with a dark smile.

"So…this is the great Megaman and Protoman eh? Hmhmhmhm it seems what I've heard about you was right…"

Protoman took a defensive tone as he spoke. "And just what have you heard?"

MidnightMan smiled. "That you are weak!"

MidnightMan suddenly burst into a stream of light he ran so fast, Megaman was taken aback; suddenly he felt a large crushing pain on his chest. MidnightMan had kicked him…hard…knocking the breath out of him and knocking him to the floor.

Megaman tried to catch his breath as MidnightMan stood next to him. Megaman tried to roll away but MidnightMan got on all fours and held him to the floor…he was too strong and held Megaman in place. Protoman ran forward with his blade and sliced it at MidnightMan, he hit his mark and MidnightMan let out a yelp.

The two navis both got up and watched in shock as MidnightMan suddenly burst into another cloud of data, only this time the data massed together in two piles. The two piles of data slowly rose into the air and began to shift into a form…the form…of……

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

Maylu and Roll sat next to Lan and Chaud, both filled with fear and a shred of hope. Lan was hurt, and even with the help of the two girls was still needing a great amount of medical attention, Chaud wasn't as severe, but he was losing a lot of blood.

The two girls were worried that if Megaman couldn't stop Doppler and his minions than Lan and Chaud may die, as well as all the other people of Earth.

Maylu was about to stand and walk to a window when she was stopped by a hand. She gasped and looked at the hand and saw it was Lan. Lan looked at Maylu with a fear filled look.

"…M-Maylu…..please…..don't….go…anywhere…." Lan gasped through a veil of pain.

Maylu smiled a small sweet smile and held onto Lan's hand.

"…I'm not going anywhere Lan…just…please hold on…"

Maylu and Roll just started at Lan and Chaud filled with worry when suddenly Julius burst around the corner with Dr. Hikari propped against him. Quickly he fell to the ground from the weight of the body, as well as running that distance in his old age. Roll and Maylu screamed and jumped up, Roll supported Julius as he fell, and Maylu took Dr. Hikari and placed him against the wall as she began to open the health kit again to heal some of his injuries.

Time was short, time was against them, and they had almost no hope…

Megaman was about to run at MidnightMan when he saw the shape MidnightMan had taken. The figure was his height, he had dark brown hair, blood red eyes, a dark grin, and the same outfit as Megaman, only the colors were wrong. Purple, green, black, red, brown, white, these colors made up the navi that stood looking at Megaman. Megaman gasped as the figure did a back flip, landing onto of a large rail that was on the left side of the room.

"…Surprise!" said the figure…Dark Megaman…

Protoman cursed and ran at the navi waving his sword around, but each time he got close to hitting Dark, Dark would dodge it by flipping, kneeling, spinning, or simply jumping into the air. Protoman continued the attacks until Dark suddenly jumped into the air, spun upside down, grabbed Protoman's blade arm, and twisted it in a very uncomfortable position.

Protoman screamed in pain and fell to the ground as now his blade arm was broken. The energy that flowed into the blade was gone, and Protoman's arm was completely twisted into the wrong direction.

Megaman gasped as he ran at Dark, trying to punch him. Dark merely laughed as he suddenly burst into a cloud of data.

"…How is he doing this!?"

"Quite simple Mr. Megaman, because he is what he seems." Said a voice from behind both navis. Megaman spun around to see MidnightMan standing over toward the door, but Dark Megaman was standing on the other side of the room.

"WHAT!?" Megaman cried trying to figure out what was going on when suddenly a flash of memory hit him.

There were two piles of data, one made Dark, the other moved away toward the door! So there is a Dark Megaman and MidnightMan both from the same data! Megaman suddenly ran at MidnightMan and fired a volley of rounds at him. MidnightMan snapped his fingers and Dark jumped over Megaman and landed between him and MidnightMan.

Suddenly the door burst open as a ray of blinding light shot through and struck MidnightMan, causing him to scream in pain. Dark's body then began to flicker, as though he was a light bulb that was burning out. Both navi screamed in pain as Dark dissipated in a cloud of data, which they flowed into MidnightMan, who was beginning to fall apart.

The light then stopped and the doors slowly began to close, but as they did Julius stepped through with a grin on his face. He then looked at Megaman with the same happy smile.

"…Your turn Megaman…" Julius said with great effort, clearly he had used a lot of his strength to make that burst of light.

Megaman walked up to Julius, who had extended his sword, Megaman took the blade and walked over to MidnightMan.

MidnightMan had a look on his face that Megaman recognized as fear…he didn't want to die.

But Megaman shrugged off the feeling and took the blade, and with a smile, drove it through MidnightMan. MidnightMan burst into a cloud of data and the data slowly dissipated. There was a sudden, and enormous, shattering of glass. The ceiling was made of glass, and a large beam of light had burst from it to the center of the room.

Protoman stood and walked over to Megaman.

"…Go…stop Doppler…for me and Chaud." Protoman said placing his good arm on Megaman's shoulder.

Julius smiled.

"For Lan, for Chaud, for us, for all of the people that Doppler killed…" Megaman said as he walked toward the beam.

Julius nodded his head as he walked by him until they stood next to the beam of light.

"Good luck Megaman…and don't worry. I'll take good care of everyone until you return…just try and be careful…we don't know just what Doppler can do…"

Megaman smiled and placed his hand on Julius's shoulder.

"Thanks…oh! What about your sword?" Megaman asked as Julius had turned to walk away. Julius merely raised his hand to wave Megaman off as he walked away and said.

"Keep it, you may need it! Good luck! And try and come back in one piece!" Julius yelled as Megaman stepped into the beam of light.

A burst of energy engulfed him as he was ported away.

Mother…the system that controlled all things living and machine…

Doppler…the madman who wished to see the world die in a ball of flame…

It was time to stop them…it was time to stop AMEN…it was time for Megaman to once again save everyone…
