GT: Yeah…my mind goes to weird places at times…I don't own neither Kamen Rider Geats nor Megaman Battle Network.


Sirens blared as heavy breaths were taken, each one ripping through her lungs. The door before her slid open and she stumbled in and was caught by weary arms, a wheeze escaping weathered old lips. A chocolate brown eye looked up at the weathered old face that belonged to the arms.

"It…It's over, isn't it?" the elder asked, pain in his single eye, "The Resistance is falling?"

"Yes…but…there…there's still hope," she replied, managing to slide a hand into her tattered military jacket and pulled out a USB stick.

"!? Is that…?"

"DarkSoul wanted us to…to find it…It was a t-trap…" she coughed, blood leaking from her lips, "Were…were you able to…?"

"Yes. I bound it to your DNA and her CNA. If anyone else touches it, the BattleChip will burn them," the elder replied, helping her over to a desk, "But…why this?"

"It…It was…based on…his favorite show…" she replied somberly, the elder looking down in pain.

"...If they were here, we wouldn't be in this situation most likely."

She nodded as she managed to get a shaking hand up to her chest, a broken chip on a chain on it. A chip she'd later learn he spent weeks working on for her…a symbol of how much he loved her.

'And I crushed it so harshly…' she bitterly thought before looking down at the hot pink and black glove on her other hand, "Are…Are you ready?"

"It depends…" a voice came from it, "Am I ready to inadvertently kill my younger self alongside you killing your younger self?"

"No…to…to see them…"

"...I hope we can," the voice from the glove replied as the doctor walked over with a coriander in hand with several pieces of tech attached to it.

"When the process is complete, it will send the chip to the past," the elder replied, "I…I don't know when it will be, sadly…but it will appear where you of the past is, Commander."

"Arigatou…"

"Don't thank me. Just keep them from dying. …It's the least you can do for what happened."

She grimaced, "It's always been my greatest regret."

"You mean our greatest regret. I should've just waited in their PC to talk to him and not be anywhere near there, but…"

"Children are the cruelest people," she sighed as she slid the kitchenware over her head as the room shook with cracks starting to form in the ceiling, "Will this erase our time?"

"Unfortunately…no," the elderly scientist sighed, "More than likely, it will just make a branched timeline."

"Meaning we'll have to be ready for the chance DarkSoul's future self…" the voice grimaced as she plugged the other cable into a port on the back of the glove.

"We'll have to get them ready," she replied while closing her eyes, "Start it, hakase."

"Running," the elder replied as he typed on the computer after inserting the USB into the machine, "Will this be the first memory that they'll see?"

"It will be the second memory. The biggest regret is what they'll see first."

"In that case…if the BattleChip appears between the first LifeVirus and Alpha…I've been staying in a submarine conducting experiments near Ameroppa," the elder informed.

"?!"

"You…"

"Since last year when the last base was destroyed, yes," he replied, "I regret every moment, so please…when you go back…"

"...Understood, Hakase."

"Arigatou," the elder thanked before pushing the 'ENTER' key, "And I should note that you're wrong."

"Hm?"

"Roll-taicho…You're not killing your past selves, you're going to merge with them with each use of the BattleChip," he explained, looking at the woman's glove, "Slowly, you'll both become one with the 'present you.' You'll be in control during the time the BattleChip is in use the first few times. If things go as planned, the fifth time is when you'll both fully merge and become a 'new' Sakurai Meiru and RollEXE. Hopefully, ones that can keep those two alive and stop this from happening," a piece of the ceiling fell nearby, "I'll wipe the system once the BattleChip is gone. Good luck."

"...Good luck, Regal-hakase," the woman replied, closing her eyes before, after a brief moment, her body relaxed and her breathing stilled.

The BattleChip glowed softly before it vanished in a swirl of ones and zeroes. Regal grimaced before typing on the computer. The screen changed to read 'SYSTEMS PURGED. SELF DESTRUCT? Y/N.' The nearby metal door Meiru had come in through shook before a large bulge in the shape of a fist drove into it. With a deep breath, Regal hit 'Y' and closed his sole eye. The base had an on-site nuclear warhead he had kept hidden from everyone. No one had attempted this with DarkSoul's herald, mostly for the fact his biggest attack had been to hit all the world's capitals with their own nuclear warheads. This one had been from his past, hidden so well because of his memory wipe.

"Good luck to you both, Commander Sakurai and Captain Sakurai…" Regal whispered before his last moments were of heat and immense agony.


Sakurai Meiru, age 12, barely held in a yelp of fright as she managed to avoid falling over from the sharp turn the speeding bus she and many others were trapped in. The bus wouldn't stop and just got faster and faster. Yet, she didn't think about that. She was concerned for Roll, her NetNavi…her sister. She mentally grimaced as she recalled how people normally reacted to how she considered Roll as her sister, but it was honestly how they felt with each other. Now, she couldn't do anything to help. She had used the last BattleChip she had and all she could do now was listen to Roll cry in pain each time the psychotic white and blue clown with a yellow orb for a head, massive arms, and riding on a giant white ball with polka dots repeatedly jump up and down hard on the pink NetNavi. She fell over when the bus skidded to a halt, barely seeing a familiar mop of brown hair outside coming to the bus in the process. She groaned and opened her eyes…to see a pure white BattleChip underneath the seat beside her. She reached out and pulled it out. Looking it over, she saw the image was that of a fox as red as her hair with patches of fur as yellow as Roll's hair embracing a brown and cobalt fox, forming a heart.

"Last Hope?" Meiru read the name of the BattleChip, "...Is…Is this a sign from the Kami?"

"Get her, Coloredman! Delete the pink brat!" a voice cackled on her PeT.

"Roll?!" she looked at her PeT, seeing Roll's HP nearly at '0,' "?! L-Last Hope, Slot In!"

Roll's body began to glow before a pulse went off, knocking Coloredman off her just as a boy resembling Roll's age in a cobalt bodysuit with light blue lines going up his sides with blue gloves, boots, backpack, and helmet was approaching.

"Roll-chan!" the boy called as Roll groaned, rolling onto her back.

"R-Rockman…?" Roll pondered before her emblem popped off her chest, "?!"

The emblem hovered for a moment before it glowed and began to shrink, becoming no larger than a bottlecap.

=ENTRY=

The shrunken emblem hovered before Roll for another moment before it shot down to her waist. It glowed before a silver belt wrapped around her as energy filled in around the emblem, forming a strangely bulky buckle connecting the belt together. The center part was circular and looked as if it could spin around with two slots on either side of the emblem. A black band went down the middle in a diagonal from the left side of the upper body to the right side of the lower.

=DESIRE DRIVER=

"Desire…Driver…?" Roll pondered before a jolt went through her data, "?!"

Roll's head slumped, her helmet shadowing her eyes as she slowly stood up fully. Data swirled before her hands and she clenched them. The data dispersed, revealing a pair of strange items. One was covered in metallic red plating on one end with the handlebar to a motorcycle on the other. The other had the handle of a revolver on one end with a red trigger. On the other was a partially covered white 'gear' with black magatama designs in it, making it appear to resemble the front view of a revolver's chamber. She raised both up before attaching them to the strange black buckle with her NaviMark on it.

=SET!=

"Henshin," Roll calmly invoked before spinning the white gear and pushing the red button on the handle and then throttling the handlebar on the red attachment, causing the red plating to split down the middle.

=DUAL ON! GET READY FOR…BO~OST AND…MAGNUM!=

A gunshot went off as six red bullets shot out of the white part while flames erupted from the red part. At her sides, stylized emblems saying 'BOOST' or 'MAGNUM' appeared before the bullets hit 'MAGNUM' at the same time the flames engulfed 'BOOST.' The flames dispersed, revealing bulky red leg armor with engines on the lower halves of them. The shattered words and bullet fragments reformed into a bulky white and scarlet armor with a flip out gun on the left lower arm. A white ring formed around Roll before splitting down the middle, going up and down her. Her body glowed white before it suddenly aged up to have her looking as if she were in her twenties. She no longer had any of her armor, just a solid black bodysuit with the belt on her waist. But…she also sported two scarlet fox ears and nine flowing fox tails. A mechanical hand appeared behind her and split in two, grabbing the white armor and the red armor before sliding them quickly to her, causing it all to snap into place on her like it had been made just for her to wear. A flowing white scarf with a crimson fox design on it wrapped around her neck while her tails gained red armor with engine pipes coming out of the tips of her tails as she calmly flicked her right wrist, causing a white, black, and scarlet blaster to appear in her hand.

=READY…? FIGHT!=

"What?!" Coloredman gawked.

"R-Roll-chan?" The woman glanced over at the stunned Rockman.

"..." she smiled, one that seemed both comforting, confident…and sensual, "Don't worry, Rock-kun. I have this; but I'm really happy you came all this way to help me." she giggled, "I'll have to do something extra sweet for you later as thanks." She looked back at Coloredman and snapped her fingers to point right at the WWW NetNavi, "Next Round ni ikimashou ka?"

"Gh…I-I don't know what you did, but you're going down!" Coloredman declared as he summoned several Viruses resembling purple swordsmen, "Get 'er, boys!"

Roll smirked before pulling the trigger, ripping through two viruses with one bullet. She ran towards them and jumped, delivering a knee-strike to one's face before using the other to jump over the rest and grab onto a wall.

=MAGNUM SHOOTER 40X=

She pumped her gun-holding arm before swinging it out, delivering several shots that struck a Virus each. She giggled before backing away from two that came at her, stabbing and swiping only to miss each blow and strike while she hummed a random tune. She backed into a wall before another sword Virus stabbed down at only, only for her to twirl out of the way and start blocking and striking the two others with elbows, knees, her tails, the outsides of her arms, and the butt of her gun. Her tails twitched before firing blasts of flame at the higher up Virus while she shot the other two with a bullet each. Several green cannon-looking Viruses appeared on a higher level and began to shoot at her, only for Roll to start running and using bursts of flames from all the pipes on her legs and tails to boost her dodging speed. She slipped over them, delivering several shots from her gun in the process, before landing in a circle of the sword Viruses that quickly spun around her.

"Oh…so that's what you're doing," Roll noted calmly before tilting her head to the side, letting the surprise attack stab miss her head and let her shoot the Virus's blade off its body, "Sadly, not good enough." she proceeded to flip over the Virus and then jumped off it to spin in the air, pulling the red piece in the back of the gun.

=Bullet Charge=

She swung her gun and multiple bullets went off, creating large explosions until only a scant few of the Viruses remained. The piece on her left arm flipped down, revealing it to be a gun barrel, as the Viruses charged from multiple sides. Roll proceeded to unleash multiple shots from her guns, tearing and shredding the Viruses with ease until none were left. She smirked as she looked around before looking over at a pale Coloredman, his jaw literally hitting the floor from his shock.

"I'll be ending this now, okay?" Roll asked as she spun the revolver and pulled the trigger before throttling the engine once more.

=BOOST TIME=

The engines on her legs and tails erupted with golden flames. She crouched down before using the flames to propel herself up high into the air. She twirled several times before pulling the throttle once more as she aimed herself at Coloredman, the flames shaping to take on the form of a menacing fox's head that followed her downward path towards Coloredman.

=MAGNUM - BOOST - GRAND VICTORY!=

"Seiya!" Roll roared as she slammed her foot into Coloredman before ripping right through him as the flames engulfing her incinerated the NetNavi while she skidded to the halt beside Rockman.

=COLOREDMAN: DELETED=

"What?! N-No! This…This can't…" a woman with her large pink hair done in massive puffballs on the sides of her head gasped.

"Oh Madoi~"

"Eh?" Madoi looked at Roll…who was showing a screen of a bank account…a familiar bank account, "What?! Hey, that's my bank account for the cash! How did you…?!"

"Thank you for your donation to Meiru-chan's therapy and medical bills," Roll smirked as she snapped her fingers and the account went to 0, "And I suppose to the bills of others involved in your madness. If they know where to find Meiru-chan and I, I suppose."

"Hey! That's mine, you damn thief!"

"Says the terrorist," Roll calmly replied before blocking the connection and smirked, "How weak."

"R-Roll-chan?"

"..."

Roll turned to Rockman and the Blue Bomber noticed a change instantly. Gone was the tense posture, ready for all out war. In place of it was a relaxed, casual posture that hid someone ready to fight or flee at a moment's notice. She walked over to him and he realized how tall she had become. She removed the two pieces on her buckle and the armor and bodysuit vanished, being replaced with a flowing pink and blue silk yukata with fox and flower patterns that exposed her shoulders and the upper half of her impressive chest. She bent over and Rockman gulped, the way she was bending letting him see into her deep plunging cleavage.

"A…Are you…okay?" Rockman asked.

"..." Roll moved in close.

"?!" Rockman froze for a few moments until Roll moved back, her smile still in place.

"I feel wonderful," Roll replied to the blushing Rockman, "That BattleChip was just perfect."

"Eto…a-ano…I…" Rockman stammered before she giggled and hugged him, letting his head rest on her chest, "?!"

Roll giggled, nuzzling the top of his helmet, 'Mine…my Rock-kun…' "Arigatou."

"H-Huh?"

"For coming to save me and Meiru-chan," Roll explained.

"Wh…What happened?"

"Hm? My looks?" Roll asked.

"A-And what just happened!"

"Oh…" Roll giggled, "New BattleChip. This is just temporary for now, but it feels wonderful. Like all my inhibitions and worries are gone." She kissed his forehead, causing him to blush once more, "I don't mind it."

"Gh! W-w-w-what the…? Wh-Why are you…?" Rockman stammered.

"Do you not like it?" Roll asked, a concerned look on her face.

"Ah! A-Ano…w-well…yes…n-no…I-I don't know," Rockman mumbled, poking his pointer fingers together.

Roll giggled, "Then I guess I'll keep doing it until you do know, ne?" she kissed his forehead again, "It's quite nice."

Rockman gulped before shaking his blush off, "R-Roll-chan…what's going on?"

"Like I said, new BattleChip that we didn't know what it would do," Roll replied, "But…I can feel something about it."

"Feel?"

"Ah. A little voice in my head…It tells me 'As long as you don't give up, the world can be changed,'" Roll replied.

"As long as you don't give up…?" Rockman whispered before Roll stumbled, the movement causing his face to be buried in her cleavage, "!?"

"G-Guess time's up…for now…" Roll whispered before wrapping her arms around his neck…and changed back to the younger version of herself…with a pair of fox ears and a single tail on her.

"Roll-chan…" Rockman whispered as he heard her softly breathing, 'She's asleep…'


"Laaan!" Meiru cheered as she ran out of the bus and hugged a boy a year younger than her with large brown hair held back by a blue banana sporting Rockman's emblem on it, a long-sleeved white shirt under an orange vest, and black shorts.

"Geez, all the trouble I go through…" he muttered.

"Netto-kun, be nice!" Megaman scolded.

"No, Netto-kun's right," Meiru assured before smiling at Netto.

"H-hey! What's the big idea?" Netto asked before freezing.

"Wh-What?" Rockman gawked before Meiru let go and moved away until she only held his hand.

"Ah…E-Eto…A-A-Ano…" Netto gawked and stammered, his face a bright pink, "I-Ichigo…?"

"Oh Netto-kun~... You're blushing!" Rockman noted.

"S-Shut up! I am not!" Netto argued as Meiru giggled.

"Well now, let's go get Yaito-chan's present! C'mon, Netto-kun! Let's go!" Meiru cheered.

"Ah! M-Matte! Matte! Now you're all happy and everything! What's going on!?" 'Why did you kiss me?!'

"Well…" Meiru winked at him, "It's a secret!"

"You sure are dense…" Rockman muttered.

"Hey! Wait up!" Netto called as he ran after her.


Later at night, Meiru walked into her bedroom and sat down at her desk, wearing a pink nightgown with magenta musical note patterns on the chest and trim on the bottom of the outfit. She looked at her computer screen where Roll was looking at herself in the mirror.

"...Onee-chan?"

"Nee-chan?"

"Did…Did you, ano…When I used that BattleChip, did…did you…"

"See you punch a slightly-older Netto-kun hard enough to make him spit a broken tooth out, call him a 'fake hero,' an 'ego-fueled monster wearing the corpse of your late boyfriend,' and tell him to leave you alone and never talk to you again? Y-Yeah…I…I also…"

"Saw you get into an argument about what happened with that outburst from me, shoot Rockman in the gut with your RollArrow after shouting 'we're through, you stupid blue egotistic bastard,' and change the password to my Home Page? H-Hai…"

"W…We wouldn't do that…would we?" Roll asked, lightly twisting her tail in her hands with a worried expression on her face.

"I-I don't know," Meiru admitted, shaking her head as she felt knots in her stomach, "I…I want to say we wouldn't, but…but it feels so real."

"I don't like it!" Roll exclaimed, "Rockman-san is too kind! He's important a-and…"

"...You love him?"

"I…I, uh…Okay, yes, yes I do," Roll admitted, her cheeks as pink as her outfit, "Ever since we first met."

Meiru nodded, "I feel the same with Netto-kun…and today only made it stronger." she frowned, "But…"

"The weird vision," Roll summed up, "...Does Netto-san have a problem with his ego?"

"I…I think he does," Meiru admitted, a troubled look on her face, "And Rockman-san?"

"Heavens no! He's always so humble and tries to avoid taking credit where it's due."

"...I…I don't want that to happen…" Meiru gulped.

"Me neither. I refuse to let it happen!" Roll agreed, "Meiru-chan, let's do our best to keep an eye on Netto-san and Rockman-kun so it doesn't happen!"

"R-Right…" Meiru nodded.

GT: Don't worry, folks. I've been quite busy with real life, but I am working hard on fics. Not just these, but others. I've started to employ a new method of writing several chapters at once for a story before I post them. So don't worry. One fic is getting a massive update in November.
