----------------------
Space Between Dimensions
"Well, almost there......this new warp gummi Cid gave us is great." I said.
"*yawn*.....That was quick, it was only what thirty minutes?" Charmy asked, waking up.
"So, where is here anyway?" Shadow said, pushing a sleeping Sonic off of him.
Terra: This world is almost completely covered in water....the people are forced to eke out a living on the small patches of land left available......The source of energy for this world are gems called Quantum Refractors......These refractors are sought out and collected by Diggers, explorers who brave ancient ruins to ensure the survival of civilization.......
"That answer you're question?" I said to Shadow.
"Yeah....."
We then set the ship into reentry and found a good landing spot....
-----------------------
Clozer Woods
We landed the ship and disembarked.
"Hmm...seems like a nice place." I said, walking around.
"Reminds me of home....." Sonic said.
We walked along till we came across a city.
"Well, at least we found a city.....maybe we can find some info about this island." Charmy said.
As we walked by, we were stopped by what appeared to be the city's police department.
"Halt, who are you?" The one officer said.
"Well, I'm Ryan...."
"My name's Charmy..."
"I'm Sonic....."
"And My name's Shadow."
"Okay....were you the ones who landed out in the woods?"
"Um, yeah, that'd be our ship." I said.
"Phew, you had us worried....." said another man, who appeared to be the police cheif,
"We thought youse was more pirates...we've had some trouble with them already...."
"Well, if there's anything we can do to help, just ask...." I said.
"Thank you....and welcome to Kattelox Island." He said, "If you'll excuse us, we've got stuff to take care of."
"Well, that was interesting, but looks like troubles already happening....." I said.
"I wonder if the pirates have joined up with the Heartless..." Charmy said.
Just then we noticed someone spying on us.
"Hey you, what do you think you're doing?" Sonic asked.
"EEP!" the person said, trying to run away.
"Don't think so..." I said, pulling her back over with my force powers.
I brought her over and we looked at her.
"Please, don't hurt me.....I was just curious...." she said.
She was wearing red shorts and a matching red shirt......with blonde hair and a red hat on as well..........
"Who are you?" I asked.
"My name...my name is Roll." she said, standing up, "And when I heard you offer your help, I thought I might ask......"
"So, what's wrong?" Charmy asked.
"Well, my Digger partner went into those ruins.....*points to a structure*......and he
hasn't been back yet.....I'm worried." Roll said.
"Well, don't worry..." I said reassuring her, "We'll go find him."
"Thank you....." she said.
We walked over to the structure and walked down the ladder to the ruins themselves.
------------------------
Ancient Ruins
"Wow, this place is amazing." Charmy said.
"Yes, it is intriguing...." I said, walking through the next door.
Just then we were attacked by what appeared to be machines.
"Huh? These aren't Heartless...." I said, drawing my Keysaber and taking them down.
Of course, as if on cue, Heartless infused machines appeared.
"Well, you just had to open your mouth." Shadow said, slicing through a number of them.
Charmy used Stopra to freeze them and we let them have it. As they unfroze they twitched and spasmed as our built up attacks hit them hard.
"H...Help....."
"Huh? Listen, I heard someone.........*I looked around* This way!" I said, running through a second set of doors.
Inside was a huge whatever those machines were, and it was being controlled by a nasty
looking Heartless.
We noticed it had cornered someone and was about to finish it off.
"I don't think so." I said, throwing my Keysaber at it.
The machine roared as my Keysaber ripped through it and came back to me.
"Huh?" the guy said.
"Charmy, go see if he's okay....Sonic, Shad....let's finish this." I said.
Charmy nodded and went to check on him.
Sonic and Shadow used a combined Chaos Control to rip through him and mess him up.
"All right, be wanting to test this move out......Ragnarok!" I shouted, jumping up and
giving him a huge combo of Keysaber slashes....then I pulled back and charged the Keysaber, releasing a huge blast of energy.
The machine roared as it exploded into pieces leaving behind gems and some cubes.
"Vacuum arm!" The guy said, his arm adapting a new weapon......he then sucked up all
the gems and cubes.
He walked over to us...."Hey, thanks for the help. Who are you guys?" he asked.
"Well....." We told him our names and that Roll had asked us for our help.
"Thanks a lot guys, I'd have been toast if you hadn't shown up when you did....by the way, my name's Megaman, Megaman Trigger." Megaman said.
"Cool name....now, let's head back towards the surface...." Sonic said.
"Not yet, one last thing to do." Megaman said, motioning for us to follow.
We entered a chamber and saw a huge refractor just hovering there.
"Wow, that's a big one......" Charmy said.
"Yeah, this'll come in handy." Megaman said, grabbing it, "Right, now we can go."
We headed back through the dungeon towards the surface.
----------------------------
City's Limits
"Oh, I hope they're allright....." Roll said, pacing around.
We then emerged from the structure.
"Oh, Megaman!" Roll said, running to him and hugging him, "I'm so glad you're okay."
"Nice to see you too, Roll. Thanks these guys, if it wasn't for them, I'd be gone."
"*turns to us* Thank you....I knew you would be of great help."
"Hey, we're heroes...that's what we do." I said.
"Yes, well, look at what we got down there." Megaman said, showing Roll the huge refractor.
"Wow, we can fix the flutter with this." Roll said, "Come on let's go....."
We headed towards their crashed ship in the Clozer Woods.
---------------------------
Clozer Woods
"That's your ship?" I said, "What happend to it?"
"Well, when we first got here, we had to crashland......we're just lucky that we made
it to the island." Megaman said, helping Roll into the ship.
"Wait here, while we fix it up." Roll said, disappearing into ship.
I waited with the others.....starting to get impatient though.
"Hmm, I wonder if its working or not?" I said.
"Well.....Hmm, listen, what's that?" Charmy said.
The ship began to hum.....and then it lifted off the ground.
Megaman and Roll walked out and rejoined us.
"I take it it worked." I said.
"Yep, like a charm." Megaman said.
"Now we can get into the ruins that were blocked off." Roll said, "Just tell me when
you want to go."
"*nods* Right." Megaman said.
"Well," Megaman said as we headed to the town's item shop, "After I stock up, I was wondering if you wanted to join me in the ruins....you could be of help."
"Give us a minute...." I said, as we walked over and huddled.
We huddled over in the corner.
"So, what do you guys think?" I asked my friends.
"Hmmm, he seems on the level...besides, it seems every one we meet has led us to the
boss and the keyhole........" Shadow said.
"He's not the sort to do anything bad......at least he appears to not be." Charmy said.
"Okay, then....we'll help him." Sonic said.
"All right then, Megaman....we'll go with you." I said.
"Cool....thanks....here." Megaman said, handing something to Charmy, "You can use this to upgrade that blaster of yours."
"Thanks Megaman." Charmy said, taking it, "Um, how do I use it?"
"We can have Roll set you up when we get to the Flutter." Megaman said as we headed back to the Flutter.
---------------------------
Inside the Flutter
"Okay, Roll. We're ready to head to the ruins." Megaman said.
"All right then....." Roll said.
"Um..." Charmy said, nudging Megaman.
"Oh, right....can you upgrade Charmy's blaster?" Megaman said, handing the Barrel Kit and Charmy's blaster to her.
"Of course, it'll only be a minute....." Roll said, going into her workshop.
Several minutes later and after a lot of mechanical noise, Roll returned.
"Well, its done." Roll said, pulling out Charmy's modified blaster.
"Whoa!" Charmy said, taking it.
It was now a bit bigger, and it now fired strong beam shots.
"It's also got a secondary mode. Flip that switch and it'll fire EMP waves to scramble enemy Reaverbots." Roll said.
"Cool, thanks." Charmy said, holstering it.
Roll headed to the bridge and took off for the ruins.
----------------------------
Ancient Ruins II
We stepped out of the Flutter and into the elevator leading to the ruins depths.
"Okay, Roll....how's the scan of reaverbot activity?" Megaman said through his comlink.
"Doesn't seem to be any big ones......but the power is out everywhere but the one room you're in....see if you can turn it back on." Roll said.
"Roger, let's go guys." Megaman said.
We travled along till we found another room, we entered what looked like the control room.
"Hmmm....." Megaman said, walking to the panel on one machine.
"What's it say?" I asked.
"It says activation either requires direct order from Mother...or the use of 3 Proto-type Anthro unit ID cards." Megaman answered.
"Well, we need three ID cards, maybe we'll find them." I said, as we walked out.
We walked through the next door and were attacked by three green, nasty looking Reaverbots.
"Ahhh!" Charmy shouted in surprise, "Time to test this sucker out."
Charmy pulled her new blaster out and fired.
A huge blast came out and tore right through the Reaverbot.
"Whoa! Roll outdid herself this time." Megaman said, finishing off another one.
I went and sliced through the third one and we collected the refractors they dropped.
A chest appeared and we went over and opened it....inside was the first ID card.
"All right...we found one." Charmy said.
We walked into the next room and inside was a huge tower.
"Whoa, that's big.....wonder what's inside?" Sonic said, walking without looking.
He then fell over and edge.
"Moron..." I said, jumping down to see if he was okay.
"Ouch.....watch that first step." Sonic said, trying to get some humor out of it.
The others joined us and we entered a room.....in the far corner was a big purple machine.
"Hey," Roll said over the comlink," That looks like the generator."
"Hmmmm.....so, do we turn it on or not?" Megaman said.
"Why not, what have we got to lose?" I said.
"Right." Megaman said, pushing the button, thus turning it on.
I turned around and spotted something.
"Hey, look...another chest." I said, walking to it and opening it.
Inside was the second ID card.
"That's two....just one more to go." Megaman said.
We walked back into the central room and entered the only other room left.
"Eek!" Charmy said, jumping into my arms.
"Hey, not now." I said, getting slapped by her, "Ow, that hurt."
"That must've scared her." Megaman said, pointing to two Reaverbots hanging from the ceiling.
Megaman used his Power Cannon to annihilate one of them and Sonic and Shadow sliced and diced the other.
"There's no other door?" Shadow said.
"Megaman.....it looks like there's a false ceiling tile.....see if you can shot it down." Roll said over the comlink.
"Well, you heard her, start shooting, firing, or whatever....find that false tile." Megaman said, releasing a barrage from his Power Cannon.
I stabbed the roof with my Keysaber, and Charmy let loose with her blaster.
Eventually, one of the sections crumbled and fell down.
"All right, up we go..." Megaman said, jumping up the newly made hole.
We stepped onto an elevator and as it went down, Roll started to talk.
"You ever wonder where the ruins came from? And the revearbots? I know we've gone on Digs for a long time....but is it right? It almosts feels like stealing.......Wait, I just picked up three huge Reaverbots on radar....they came out of nowhere....Look Out!"
We stepped out and three horse-like Reaverbots stood up and started to run around us.
"This looks like fun...." I said, charging one of them.
"You do this for a living, must suck." Shadow said, slicing one of the others.
"You'd think...but its fun..." Megaman said, unloading his Buster Gun into the third.
"This is taking too long.....time to finish them...." I said, readying my Keysaber...
"Light Flash!" I shouted, dashing along the ground and slicing straight through all three of the Reaverbots.
They shortcircuited and exploded in a large blaze, leaving behind tons of zenny.
Megaman just stared at me..."Wow, that was amazing." He said to me.
"That was nothing...." I said, holstering the Keysaber.
We entered the only room left and got the final ID card from the chest in there.
We jumped down to the lower level and headed towards the exit.
------------------------
Unknown Location
"All right, Teisel. You'd better not screw up like the others." Vile said.
"Those guys were fools, our advanced electronics will stop them." Teisel said, leaving.
"*sigh* Why must we be forced to work with fools?" General Mokuvai said.
"Because they're easier to control." Vile said.
-------------------------
Ancient Ruins II
We headed back to the Control Room.
"Okay, time to open the main gate...." Megaman said, placing the three ID cards inside.
We heard a rather large noise as in another part of the city, the Main Gate opened its
large heavy doors.
"Okay, we're done, let's head to the Flutter." Megaman said.
We got on the main elevator and headed back to the surface.
-------------------------
Flutter
"Okay, guys...hold on, we're moving out." Roll said, hitting the main thrusters.
As we went along above Kattleox.........
A huge green ship appeared behind us.
"Oh, no, it's the Bonnes." Megaman said.
"Ahahahahahaahah! Now that they've opened the Main Gate, we don't need them anymore." Tesiel Bonne said.
Will Ms. Tron please report to the bridge ( ----Announcement)
"Ready? Fire!" Teisel shouted.
The Flutter shook from the cannon's shots.
"Ah, we won't last long here...I'm going to try and hide in the clouds." Roll said, turning the Flutter into the cloud line.
"Hahahaha, they think they can hide...we'll show them." Teisel said.
The Bonnes ship, the Ghestleshaft, moves slowly and follows the Flutter.
"Ack, they caught up....okay, we'll just have to outrun them." Roll said, putting the thrusters to the max.
"Hmmm, that ships faster than it looks....hey, where'd they go?" Tesiel said, looking around.
"They couldn't have...they must've found our weak spot." Tesiel said.
On the Flutter we were underneath them.
We joined Megaman on the top Deck.
"Okay, time to pay them back...in spades." I said, launching a devastating Firaga spell from my Keysaber.
It impacted the hull and set it ablaze.
"Oh, yeah...."
Megaman took aim and fired away with his Power Cannon....three shots later the right wing was ablaze.
"Oh, no...fire's in sectors 12-23..I'm closing them off." Tron Bonne said.
"Time to test the 2nd mode." Charmy said, flipping the switch.
The gun twisted around and a second barrel appeared.
"Fire!" Charmy said, unleashing a concentrated ball of EMP.
The ball of EMP hit the left wing and it short-circuited in a blaze of sparks and fire.
"Yes!"
"Huh? It's still flying? There must be something left....wait that symbol on the front...fire at it!" Roll said.
We unloaded our firepower on the symbol as it started hitting us with cannonballs.
"Ouch!" I said, getting knocked back.
Megaman let loosed a barrage of shots and the ship started to explode.
"This is inconceivable....how can they beat me?" Tesiel said.
"Roll, get away or will be caught in the explosion." Megaman said.
"Right!" Roll said, turning the ship around.
The Ghestleshaft falls down slightly and then is engulfed in smoke and flames.
From the ashes comes a ship that has Tron's hair style and is a red, winged mech.
From inside the Tron mech....
"Argh....hahahahahaha, did you really think that would beat us?" Tesiel said, grabbing his arm, "But they still got my arm!"
"Don't worry Tesiel, I'll get them! No more fooling around! I'll kill you!" Tron said, circling the Flutter.
"Oh, damn!" I said, "Well, let's get to it then."
Megaman tried to hit it with his Power Cannon, but it was too slow....the same was true of Charmy's Blaster.
"Fine then......" I said, powering up.
Megaman looked at me, "Whoa....what's he doing?"
"You'll see...." Sonic, as he and Shadow also powered up.
"Ready?" I said, looking at them.
"Yes....let's do this Shadow." Sonic said as he and Shadow flew off the ground.
They concentrated their power and..."Chaos Control!" they shouted, ripping through it.
"Ah...what kinda firepower are they packing on that little ship?" Tesiel said.
"My turn." I said, lifting off the ground.
"Final Judgement!" I said, diving into the Flutter, collecting the energy of everyone and focusing it on the Tron mech.
The Tron mech starts smoking and crashing off.....
"I'm sorry Tesiel....I failed." Tron said.
"Don't worry your pretty little head over it, Tron.....We tried our best, but sometimes are best isn't enough......" Tesiel said.
"Ba-Buu!" Bon Bonne said.
The Tron mech spun around, heading towards Terra and then Boom!
All that was left was a smoke cloud and some debris flying off.
"Oh....." I said, powering down.
"Perhaps we should've gone easier on them....." Roll said, joining us.
"Yeah....Maybe...." Megaman said, disarming his weapons.
----------------------------
Clozer Woods
"Well, we beat the boss, but where's the Keyhole?" Shadow asked.
"Well, I kinda think they didn't really deserve to die like that...." Charmy said.
"Yeah, they did seem kinda goofy, not evil......." I said.
Megaman had been overhearing us.
"Well, I think you're right....I didn't like taking their lives....I didn't want it to end up like that." Megaman said, walking over to us.
"How much did you hear?" Sonic asked.
"All of it....so, you are the Keymaster....." Megaman said to me.
"How do you know of that?" I asked.
"Tesiel was talking about that earlier and said the Keysaber was important.....I think I know where we can find that Keyhole of yours....." Megaman said, motioning for us to follow him.
We followed.
---------------------------
Main Gate
"I beleive that your Keyhole is down here. Let's go!" Megaman said.
We followed him down.
"It's a big spiral....and it goes a long way down." Roll said, over Megaman's comlink.
We kept going down.....and encountered no resistance.
"Do you find it odd that there's no Reaverbots here?" I asked Megaman.
"Yeah, I would've thought that there'd be a lot of resistance." Megaman replied.
As we went further and further down, it got brighter and brighter.
"Whoa....it's.....down...Huh?......I'm....lose...you.......*dead static*" Roll said over the comlink.
"Damn, its dead....." Megaman said as we reached the bottom.
We entered the door and came upon a chamber.
"Look, on that wall, a Keyhole." Charmy said.
"Right." I said, placing my Keysaber as the beam shot out from it and into the Keyhole. It sealed and then the chamber rumbled.
From inside the wall, some guy came out of it.....
"Hmmm...it would appear I've woken up earlier than explected...no matter." said a weird looking purple haired man.
He looked at Megaman..."Ah, so I suppose you awoke me to carry out the Carbon Reinitialization Process. Oh, I'm so sorry, my name is Megaman Juno."
"Carbon Reinitialization Process?" Megaman said.
"Wait, does he mean....reinitialize the humans?" I said.
Juno walked back and trapped us in a force field.
"No....w..wait...stop!" Megaman said, fighting the force field.
In the corner out of sight, we're two familiar faces....
"Tesiel, we've got to help him." Tron said.
"Right...if he kills everyone....he seems crazy enough to do it." Tesiel said, walking up to the force field.
"Hear's a problem....hey, how do you shut this thing off?" Tesiel asked.
"Oh, this....Like this!" Tron said, kicking it which made it retract into the ground.
We collapsed into a pile...but Megaman seemed unscathed.
"Hey, you guys are alive." Megaman said, hugging Tron.
"Oh, hey...well, hurry up go on...stop him and I'll never forgive you if you go dying on me." Tron said, "Be careful."
"Right.." Megaman ran off.
"Shouldn't we follow?" Charmy asked.
"No...*pant*...this is his mission." I said, standing up wearily.
We headed back to the surface.....
-----------------------
Kattleox City: Clozer Woods
When we got back, some weird stuff went down.....I won't bore you with the details...but all I can say is that I have a feeling that if Megaman hadn't been down there....the whole town would've been gone, including us.
"Do you really have to go?" the mayor, Amelia, said.
"Yes...we need to get on with our search." I said.
"And we've got to find more on the Mother Lode." Megaman said.
I shook Megaman's hand and wished him luck.
"Here, I found this down there, you take it." Megaman said, handing me a charm.
I put it on my Keysaber and it became Keysaber: 'Core Strike'.
"Well, thank you for all you've done...we appreciate it...and come back and visit whenever you wish." Amelia said.
"Thanks, we'll remember that." I said, getting into the gummi ship.
Megaman and his group got into their ship and took off just as we did.
As we circled the island, everyone was waving to the Flutter and us.
We waved back and took off.
-----------------------------
Space Between Dimension
"Well another world saved...I'm just glad the Bonnes didn't die." I said, setting the new course....
"Yeah, so....onto a new adventure then...." Charmy said, settling in for the ride.
"Ya know, I wonder what happend to those Bonnes anyway....." Shadow said.
-----------------------------
An ocean on Terra
A slow moving, lunky ship with the Bonnes skull symbol on it is shown.
"Well, with that big refractor we found, we'll get back what we lost and then some...We'll live like kings!" Tesiel said.
"*sighs* That's if we even make it there...I had to use all the spare parts just to build this boat.....*smiles* But at least he's happy." Tron said.
The rear of the ship showed a crane holding a HUGE Refractor in place, and their "little" brother Bon Bonne being dragged along in a lifeperserver.
Bon says one thing as they slowly sail into the sunset as it echoes...."Ba Buu......"

"Yes, well, look at what we got down there." Megaman said, showing Roll the huge refractor.
"Wow, we can fix the flutter with this." Roll said, "Come on let's go....."
We headed towards their crashed ship in the Clozer Woods.

"Well," Megaman said as we headed to the town's item shop, "After I stock up, I was wondering if you wanted to join me in the ruins....you could be of help."
"Give us a minute...." I said, as we walked over and huddled.
We huddled over in the corner.
"So, what do you guys think?" I asked my friends.
"Hmmm, he seems on the level...besides, it seems every one we meet has led us to the
boss and the keyhole........" Shadow said.
"He's not the sort to do anything bad......at least he appears to not be." Charmy said.
"Okay, then....we'll help him." Sonic said.
"All right then, Megaman....we'll go with you." I said.
"Cool....thanks....here." Megaman said, handing something to Charmy, "You can use this to upgrade that blaster of yours."
"Thanks Megaman." Charmy said, taking it, "Um, how do I use it?"
"We can have Roll set you up when we get to the Flutter." Megaman said as we headed back to the Flutter.
---------------------------
Inside the Flutter
"Okay, Roll. We're ready to head to the ruins." Megaman said.
"All right then....." Roll said.
"Um..." Charmy said, nudging Megaman.
"Oh, right....can you upgrade Charmy's blaster?" Megaman said, handing the Barrel Kit and Charmy's blaster to her.
"Of course, it'll only be a minute....." Roll said, going into her workshop.
Several minutes later and after a lot of mechanical noise, Roll returned.
"Well, its done." Roll said, pulling out Charmy's modified blaster.
"Whoa!" Charmy said, taking it.
It was now a bit bigger, and it now fired strong beam shots.
"It's also got a secondary mode. Flip that switch and it'll fire EMP waves to scramble enemy Reaverbots." Roll said.
"Cool, thanks." Charmy said, holstering it.
Roll headed to the bridge and took off for the ruins.
----------------------------
Ancient Ruins II
We stepped out of the Flutter and into the elevator leading to the ruins depths.
"Okay, Roll....how's the scan of reaverbot activity?" Megaman said through his comlink.
"Doesn't seem to be any big ones......but the power is out everywhere but the one room you're in....see if you can turn it back on." Roll said.
"Roger, let's go guys." Megaman said.
We travled along till we found another room, we entered what looked like the control room.
"Hmmm....." Megaman said, walking to the panel on one machine.
"What's it say?" I asked.
"It says activation either requires direct order from Mother...or the use of 3 Proto-type Anthro unit ID cards." Megaman answered.
"Well, we need three ID cards, maybe we'll find them." I said, as we walked out.
We walked through the next door and were attacked by three green, nasty looking Reaverbots.
"Ahhh!" Charmy shouted in surprise, "Time to test this sucker out."
Charmy pulled her new blaster out and fired.
A huge blast came out and tore right through the Reaverbot.
"Whoa! Roll outdid herself this time." Megaman said, finishing off another one.
I went and sliced through the third one and we collected the refractors they dropped.
A chest appeared and we went over and opened it....inside was the first ID card.
"All right...we found one." Charmy said.
We walked into the next room and inside was a huge tower.
"Whoa, that's big.....wonder what's inside?" Sonic said, walking without looking.
He then fell over and edge.
"Moron..." I said, jumping down to see if he was okay.
"Ouch.....watch that first step." Sonic said, trying to get some humor out of it.
The others joined us and we entered a room.....in the far corner was a big purple machine.
"Hey," Roll said over the comlink," That looks like the generator."
"Hmmmm.....so, do we turn it on or not?" Megaman said.
"Why not, what have we got to lose?" I said.
"Right." Megaman said, pushing the button, thus turning it on.
I turned around and spotted something.
"Hey, look...another chest." I said, walking to it and opening it.
Inside was the second ID card.
"That's two....just one more to go." Megaman said.
We walked back into the central room and entered the only other room left.
"Eek!" Charmy said, jumping into my arms.
"Hey, not now." I said, getting slapped by her, "Ow, that hurt."
"That must've scared her." Megaman said, pointing to two Reaverbots hanging from the ceiling.
Megaman used his Power Cannon to annihilate one of them and Sonic and Shadow sliced and diced the other.
"There's no other door?" Shadow said.
"Megaman.....it looks like there's a false ceiling tile.....see if you can shot it down." Roll said over the comlink.
"Well, you heard her, start shooting, firing, or whatever....find that false tile." Megaman said, releasing a barrage from his Power Cannon.
I stabbed the roof with my Keysaber, and Charmy let loose with her blaster.
Eventually, one of the sections crumbled and fell down.
"All right, up we go..." Megaman said, jumping up the newly made hole.
We stepped onto an elevator and as it went down, Roll started to talk.
"You ever wonder where the ruins came from? And the revearbots? I know we've gone on Digs for a long time....but is it right? It almosts feels like stealing.......Wait, I just picked up three huge Reaverbots on radar....they came out of nowhere....Look Out!"
We stepped out and three horse-like Reaverbots stood up and started to run around us.
"This looks like fun...." I said, charging one of them.
"You do this for a living, must suck." Shadow said, slicing one of the others.
"You'd think...but its fun..." Megaman said, unloading his Buster Gun into the third.
"This is taking too long.....time to finish them...." I said, readying my Keysaber...
"Light Flash!" I shouted, dashing along the ground and slicing straight through all three of the Reaverbots.
They shortcircuited and exploded in a large blaze, leaving behind tons of zenny.
Megaman just stared at me..."Wow, that was amazing." He said to me.
"That was nothing...." I said, holstering the Keysaber.
We entered the only room left and got the final ID card from the chest in there.
We jumped down to the lower level and headed towards the exit.
------------------------
Unknown Location
"All right, Teisel. You'd better not screw up like the others." Vile said.
"Those guys were fools, our advanced electronics will stop them." Teisel said, leaving.
"*sigh* Why must we be forced to work with fools?" General Mokuvai said.
"Because they're easier to control." Vile said.
-------------------------
Ancient Ruins II
We headed back to the Control Room.
"Okay, time to open the main gate...." Megaman said, placing the three ID cards inside.
We heard a rather large noise as in another part of the city, the Main Gate opened its
large heavy doors.
"Okay, we're done, let's head to the Flutter." Megaman said.
We got on the main elevator and headed back to the surface.
-------------------------
Flutter
"Okay, guys...hold on, we're moving out." Roll said, hitting the main thrusters.
As we went along above Kattleox.........
A huge green ship appeared behind us.
"Oh, no, it's the Bonnes." Megaman said.
"Ahahahahahaahah! Now that they've opened the Main Gate, we don't need them anymore." Tesiel Bonne said.
Will Ms. Tron please report to the bridge ( ----Announcement)
"Ready? Fire!" Teisel shouted.
The Flutter shook from the cannon's shots.
"Ah, we won't last long here...I'm going to try and hide in the clouds." Roll said, turning the Flutter into the cloud line.
"Hahahaha, they think they can hide...we'll show them." Teisel said.
The Bonnes ship, the Ghestleshaft, moves slowly and follows the Flutter.
"Ack, they caught up....okay, we'll just have to outrun them." Roll said, putting the thrusters to the max.
"Hmmm, that ships faster than it looks....hey, where'd they go?" Tesiel said, looking around.
"They couldn't have...they must've found our weak spot." Tesiel said.
On the Flutter we were underneath them.
We joined Megaman on the top Deck.
"Okay, time to pay them back...in spades." I said, launching a devastating Firaga spell from my Keysaber.
It impacted the hull and set it ablaze.
"Oh, yeah...."
Megaman took aim and fired away with his Power Cannon....three shots later the right wing was ablaze.
"Oh, no...fire's in sectors 12-23..I'm closing them off." Tron Bonne said.
"Time to test the 2nd mode." Charmy said, flipping the switch.
The gun twisted around and a second barrel appeared.
"Fire!" Charmy said, unleashing a concentrated ball of EMP.
The ball of EMP hit the left wing and it short-circuited in a blaze of sparks and fire.
"Yes!"
"Huh? It's still flying? There must be something left....wait that symbol on the front...fire at it!" Roll said.
We unloaded our firepower on the symbol as it started hitting us with cannonballs.
"Ouch!" I said, getting knocked back.
Megaman let loosed a barrage of shots and the ship started to explode.
"This is inconceivable....how can they beat me?" Tesiel said.
"Roll, get away or will be caught in the explosion." Megaman said.
"Right!" Roll said, turning the ship around.
The Ghestleshaft falls down slightly and then is engulfed in smoke and flames.
From the ashes comes a ship that has Tron's hair style and is a red, winged mech.
From inside the Tron mech....
"Argh....hahahahahaha, did you really think that would beat us?" Tesiel said, grabbing his arm, "But they still got my arm!"
"Don't worry Tesiel, I'll get them! No more fooling around! I'll kill you!" Tron said, circling the Flutter.
"Oh, damn!" I said, "Well, let's get to it then."
Megaman tried to hit it with his Power Cannon, but it was too slow....the same was true of Charmy's Blaster.
"Fine then......" I said, powering up.
Megaman looked at me, "Whoa....what's he doing?"
"You'll see...." Sonic, as he and Shadow also powered up.
"Ready?" I said, looking at them.
"Yes....let's do this Shadow." Sonic said as he and Shadow flew off the ground.
They concentrated their power and..."Chaos Control!" they shouted, ripping through it.
"Ah...what kinda firepower are they packing on that little ship?" Tesiel said.
"My turn." I said, lifting off the ground.
"Final Judgement!" I said, diving into the Flutter, collecting the energy of everyone and focusing it on the Tron mech.
The Tron mech starts smoking and crashing off.....
"I'm sorry Tesiel....I failed." Tron said.
"Don't worry your pretty little head over it, Tron.....We tried our best, but sometimes are best isn't enough......" Tesiel said.
"Ba-Buu!" Bon Bonne said.
The Tron mech spun around, heading towards Terra and then Boom!
All that was left was a smoke cloud and some debris flying off.
"Oh....." I said, powering down.
"Perhaps we should've gone easier on them....." Roll said, joining us.
"Yeah....Maybe...." Megaman said, disarming his weapons.
----------------------------
Clozer Woods
"Well, we beat the boss, but where's the Keyhole?" Shadow asked.
"Well, I kinda think they didn't really deserve to die like that...." Charmy said.
"Yeah, they did seem kinda goofy, not evil......." I said.
Megaman had been overhearing us.
"Well, I think you're right....I didn't like taking their lives....I didn't want it to end up like that." Megaman said, walking over to us.
"How much did you hear?" Sonic asked.
"All of it....so, you are the Keymaster....." Megaman said to me.
"How do you know of that?" I asked.
"Tesiel was talking about that earlier and said the Keysaber was important.....I think I know where we can find that Keyhole of yours....." Megaman said, motioning for us to follow him.
We followed.
---------------------------
Main Gate
"I beleive that your Keyhole is down here. Let's go!" Megaman said.
We followed him down.
"It's a big spiral....and it goes a long way down." Roll said, over Megaman's comlink.
We kept going down.....and encountered no resistance.
"Do you find it odd that there's no Reaverbots here?" I asked Megaman.
"Yeah, I would've thought that there'd be a lot of resistance." Megaman replied.
As we went further and further down, it got brighter and brighter.
"Whoa....it's.....down...Huh?......I'm....lose...you.......*dead static*" Roll said over the comlink.
"Damn, its dead....." Megaman said as we reached the bottom.
We entered the door and came upon a chamber.
"Look, on that wall, a Keyhole." Charmy said.
"Right." I said, placing my Keysaber as the beam shot out from it and into the Keyhole. It sealed and then the chamber rumbled.
From inside the wall, some guy came out of it.....
"Hmmm...it would appear I've woken up earlier than explected...no matter." said a weird looking purple haired man.
He looked at Megaman..."Ah, so I suppose you awoke me to carry out the Carbon Reinitialization Process. Oh, I'm so sorry, my name is Megaman Juno."
"Carbon Reinitialization Process?" Megaman said.
"Wait, does he mean....reinitialize the humans?" I said.
Juno walked back and trapped us in a force field.
"No....w..wait...stop!" Megaman said, fighting the force field.
In the corner out of sight, we're two familiar faces....
"Tesiel, we've got to help him." Tron said.
"Right...if he kills everyone....he seems crazy enough to do it." Tesiel said, walking up to the force field.
"Hear's a problem....hey, how do you shut this thing off?" Tesiel asked.
"Oh, this....Like this!" Tron said, kicking it which made it retract into the ground.
We collapsed into a pile...but Megaman seemed unscathed.
"Hey, you guys are alive." Megaman said, hugging Tron.
"Oh, hey...well, hurry up go on...stop him and I'll never forgive you if you go dying on me." Tron said, "Be careful."
"Right.." Megaman ran off.
"Shouldn't we follow?" Charmy asked.
"No...*pant*...this is his mission." I said, standing up wearily.
We headed back to the surface.....
-----------------------
Kattleox City: Clozer Woods
When we got back, some weird stuff went down.....I won't bore you with the details...but all I can say is that I have a feeling that if Megaman hadn't been down there....the whole town would've been gone, including us.
"Do you really have to go?" the mayor, Amelia, said.
"Yes...we need to get on with our search." I said.
"And we've got to find more on the Mother Lode." Megaman said.
I shook Megaman's hand and wished him luck.
"Here, I found this down there, you take it." Megaman said, handing me a charm.
I put it on my Keysaber and it became Keysaber: 'Core Strike'.
"Well, thank you for all you've done...we appreciate it...and come back and visit whenever you wish." Amelia said.
"Thanks, we'll remember that." I said, getting into the gummi ship.
Megaman and his group got into their ship and took off just as we did.
As we circled the island, everyone was waving to the Flutter and us.
We waved back and took off.
-----------------------------
Space Between Dimension
"Well another world saved...I'm just glad the Bonnes didn't die." I said, setting the new course....
"Yeah, so....onto a new adventure then...." Charmy said, settling in for the ride.
"Ya know, I wonder what happend to those Bonnes anyway....." Shadow said.
-----------------------------
An ocean on Terra
A slow moving, lunky ship with the Bonnes skull symbol on it is shown.
"Well, with that big refractor we found, we'll get back what we lost and then some...We'll live like kings!" Tesiel said.
"*sighs* That's if we even make it there...I had to use all the spare parts just to build this boat.....*smiles* But at least he's happy." Tron said.
The rear of the ship showed a crane holding a HUGE Refractor in place, and their "little" brother Bon Bonne being dragged along in a lifeperserver.
Bon says one thing as they slowly sail into the sunset as it echoes...."Ba Buu......"
