Hakuryuken: You have some good ideas. Thanks for reading!

PEJP Bengtzone: What does it matter how far I've gotten into Bleach? This story has nothing to DO with Bleach. And I really could care less if I get flamed, as long as someone has a good reason. I'm the kind of person that doesn't bother with getting offended unless I'm accused of something I didn't do or someone insults my friends. And what does Anetta have to do with this? I know she was a nurse. Whatever.

Queen Sunstar: Hmm... I clearly specify this is RollxMega, and I draw RollxBass fans. I find that mildly ironic. Hell, I find it really ironic.

KK the Prophet: He is? I thought Megaman deleted Freezeman in MMBN2. In RockmanEXE : The College Years, Sean has a gun wielding Navi named Axl, so I assumed he was Navi-less. Indeed, Heavyman was one of the weakest GUILT members because of his slow wit. He was fast and inpervious, sure, but he couldn't think well. So he was deleted. Yeah, Megaman and Roll are still friends. Why wouldn't they be?

And so, the final chapters begin to approach... Who will come out alive?

CHAPTER 35 : To Infiniti and Beyond

"Come on. Let's find Bass and take down GUILT." Roll walked through the portal first. Megaman looked at Protoman and shrugged. Then those two walked through the portal after her. They emerged in a place that was familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time.

"ACDC Area?" Protoman asked.

"--otoman! Protoman! Can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear, Chaud. Do you know where we are?" Megaman saw Roll a little bit ahead, trying to make out where she was.

"It seems like you're in ACDC Area, but I really don't know where."

This place... I know it from somewhere... Roll thought. She heard a sound and turned to look at it. Megaman and Protoman did the same. All they saw was a glint of smooth, dark metal, though.

"Protoman, did you see that?" Protoman nodded. "Roll, did you?" Roll nodded as well.

"What was it?" Protoman asked.

"It looks familiar, just like everything else in this blasted place." Megaman replied with a hint of disgust. "Where the heck are we?"

"You're in my domain now." All three Navis turned to look at the speaker. He had a dark purple star on his jet-black helmet, with large black fins on the top. He wore a dark red cloak with a tattered bottom that rested at his feet. He jumped down from a ledge, showing his blood-red boots as he landed. "I am Pulse. Good job finding this place. Welcome to GUILT's primary headquarters."

"Where are we?" Roll asked. She had rejoined Megaman and Protoman. Pulse laughed.

"You should know. Good luck finding our base. And even if you do..." Pulse's eyes changed from amused to deadly. "...you'll wish you hadn't." Pulse jumped high into the air and caught something flying by, which took him sailing away.

"After him!" Protoman yelled, and they all gave chase to the enemy. They were able to somehow keep him in sight, but they never could find where he was going. Then he suddenly disappeared. Megaman, Roll, and Protoman sat down to catch their breath.

Everything here looks so familiar! Roll thought.

"Hey, what's over there?" Megaman pointed to a large, open field.

"Nothing." Protoman replied. Roll strained her eyes.

"Huh, I thought I saw something." Megaman said. "I can't see it anymore."

"No, look harder." Roll replied. Look very close, and imagine a building." Megaman and Protoman did so. As they did, they saw the outline of a building. It gradually became clearer, revealing a tall building.

"Wow... that's a really big building.

"Come on, let's go." The three Navis headed towards the unknown building.

"Huh. They've found our hideout," Pulse said from behind some thick brush. "But not really. I better follow them in case they end up posing a major threat." Pulse darted after them, hiding behind things and staying unseen.

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

All three Navis looked up at the massive structure. As they had gotten closer, it seemed to have gotten bigger and bigger, until they couldn't see the top. Right in front of them was a huge iron door.

"...That's massive." Megaman said.

"No, really?" Roll replied sarcastically. "Come on. We have to find Bass and destroy GUILT."

"There's got to be some hidden entrance somewhere..." Protoman said. "Chaud, try scanning the building." There was a pause as they waited for Chaud's reply.

"I can't do it, Protoman. There's some sort of distortion surrounding it." Protoman swore.

"We could always go in the front door." Roll said.

"And get killed?" Protoman asked sarcastically.

"No, she's right." Megaman replied. "What's our goal here? For once we're not on defense, we're on offense. The goal's just to destroy GUILT and rescue Bass. If we go in the front door, chances are they'd all come after us, and then we could take them all out with a few big shots."

"I've got the CustomChips." Maylu volunteered.

"CustomChips?" Chaud asked.

"They're five BattleChips I made myself." Maylu explained. "There's Omega Chaos, Terraforming, After--"

"Terraforming?" Protman broke in. "Does that mutilate the ground?" Roll nodded. "Then let's try that. If we can raise the ground under the door, then it'll compress it, leaving us free to enter.

"Makes sense." Megaman replied. "And we've got Double Hero." Protoman nodded.

"Ready?" Maylu asked. Lan and Chaud slotted the chips for Double Hero and nodded. "Terraforming, CustomChip in! Download!" Roll's eyes began to glow yellow as she grasped an invisible plane and pulled it upward violently. With the motion of her hands, the ground underneath the door also pulled upward. The door didn't break, however. Instead, it was launched into the ceiling above, collapsing the second floor. The building stayed intact, however.

"...Oops." Roll said. Suddenly a siren began to sound, clearly audible from the broken walls.

"All personnel report to the main door! Intruders have been sighted! All personnel report to main door!" The three Navis stood in silence.

"Well, at least they didn't use 'Intruder alert.'" Megaman noticed.

"Repeat! All personnel report to the main door! Intruder alert!" Megaman sweatdropped.

"Spoke too soon..." Megaman mumbled. Suddenly, three Navis dashed out of the broken building.

"Megaman!" The first one exclaimed.

"So, Lust, Greed, and Pride all came out." Megaman said dryly. Me looked to Roll and Protoman and nodded. Roll stepped forward.

"Omega Chaos, CustomChip in! Download!" Maylu said, slotting the black chip. Roll formed the ball of chaos energy in her hands and fired it at the Navis, causing them to scatter.

"Double Hero!" Megaman and Protoman got into position and began firing buster shots and shockwaves at the enemies. They were hard pressed to dodge these, and took more than a few hits.

"Theta Wave!" Pride said, and he called a wave from behind him to crush the three heros.

"Barrier200!" Maylu said, and Roll protected them with a shining prism.

"Roll, you take Lust. Protoman, you get Greed. I'll take Pride." The two nodded, and Roll dropped the barrier. "X System online!" Megaman transformed into Megaman LinkCross and dashed forward to Pride, his sword ready.

"Beta Sword!" The two Navis clashed, each trying to overpower the other. Pride smirked and jumped back. "Sigma-Beta Puncture!" Pride formed Sigma and Beta, and fired multiple small swords at Megaman. He blocked with his shield, but some still got through, wounding his legs. Pride then reformed his sword and lunged at Megaman. He ducked behind the shield and swiped from behind it, catching Pride's legs.

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

"NeoVariable, BattleChip in!" Protoman attacked Greed with the mystical sword. Greed dodged and attacked with Poison Sting. This went on for quite a while, with neither Navi scoring a hit.

"Not bad, Protoman. Not many dodge my attacks for this long. "Thunderbolt!" Greed launched a bolt of electricity at Protoman faster then the previous attacks. The bolt caught Protoman and wounded him slightly. He let out a small cry, but composed himself. "Have you forgotten, Protoman?" Protoman dashed at Greed again, harder than before. This time, when he was near, he launched a shockwave at Greed, but it bounced off his CD Field.

"I did forget, Greed. But I remember now." Protoman was still running towards him and showed no sign of changing course.

"Then why are you still running at me?" Greed asked. "Don't you remember the last time your sword hit it?" Protoman nodded.

"GaiaBlade, BattleChip in! Download!" Right when Protoman was in front of him, he materialized the big sword in his left hand and brought it down on Greed. It shattered his CD Field, and continued to its target. Protoman quickly followed up with the NeoVariable.

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

"So, you love Bass now, eh?" Lust taunted as she dodged Roll's attacks.

"Of course! He didn't abandon me like the blueberry over there." Lust grinned and chuckled.

"Hmm hmm hmm... I don't think so~." She waggled her finger at Roll as she dodged another attack. "Drain Cannon!" Lust fired her cannon at Roll, replenishing some of the dark Navi's lost health.

"What do you mean?" This time around, Roll was dodging Lust's attacks.

"Jasper Blade! I mean, you really don't love Bass. I can see it in your eyes." Roll dodged another slice.

"As if you know my life. Aqua Tower!"

"Jasper Body! All you feel for him is lust." She smirked. "I should know~."

"Why are you telling me this?" Roll asked. "Why should I believe you?" Lust just shrugged.

"You've got no reason to. I'll say that I'm different from these guys, though." She grinned again. "Or maybe I'm trying to psyche you out." Suddenly, Roll's eyes turned a blazing red. She stopped trying to dodge Lust's attacks and just began to walk straight towards her, ignoring everything else. She began to speak in a commanding voice, a voice filled with authority.

"If you're truly different from them, come help us. If you don't, you're no better. Make your choice now, and make it well." Lust was temporarily astonished. How could such a powerful voice come from a Navi this small?

"My decision is..." Lust paused for a moment. What do I want? Do I really want to be here now that I know what their goal is? "I'm out of here." Lust jumped backwards and vanished in a flash of light and smoke. Roll's eyes turned back to normal.

"So, she chose to flee instead of answering my question. This means many things..." Roll mumbled.

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

Both Megaman and Pride were breathing heavily, staring at each other, waiting to see who would make the first move.

"Sigma-Alpha Twister!" Pride fired a large stream of wind at Megaman, who dodged. "Sigma-Gamma Growth!" Vines began to crawl through the ground to attack Megaman.

"Lan, send me GaiaBlade. Don't ask, just do."

"GaiaBlade, BattleChip in! Download!" Megaman's NaviMark began to glow green, and he touched it right before the vines hit him. A flurry of vines surrounded him, spiraling outward from Megaman. The vines sliced at Pride, but the Navi took minimal damage. When Pride could see again, Megaman's body had changed. Two fans had attached themselves to his back and were spinning lazily. His bodysuit had changed to green, and some armor had been added to it.. Megaman was slightly shorter, as well. The space between his helmet fins was glowing with a telltale light, and so were the highlights along his body.

"ThickForest FormStyle!" Megaman said, striking a pose. Pride took a step back.

"That looks strangely familiar..." Pride said. Megaman grinned slightly.

"It should. It's the same ability I defeated you with last time. Fact is, you were the one to awaken it." Megaman raised his hands into the air. "Wind Tunnel!" Megaman formed a large tornado in his hands and launched it at Pride. He jumped high to avoid it, but Megaman had expected that. "Tangle Grasp!" Vines quickly grew out from the ground and grabbed Pride midjump. They pulled him back down into the path of the Wind Tunnel, where he was sliced by the wind. When the furious gale ended, Megaman followed up with a grass-element Charge Shot, which drained the rest of his energy and pulled him out of ThickForest.

"No... NO!" Pride shouted as the Charge Shot hit him. He faded away as the computer announced his deletion. Megaman looked over to see Protoman swing the NeoVariable through Greed, deleting him. Then he looked to Roll just as Lust vanished. They regrouped at the front of the half-destroyed building. Protoman cracked his knuckles.

"Three down, four to go." He smiled a twisted smile. "These guys are a good challenge."

"Careful, Protoman. Keep it down." Protoman suddenly gained his composure and returned to his normal self.

"Thanks."

"Let's go." Roll said as she walked through the busted door.
