Hi. I still need help with how the characters act, however (I hate
sounding weak, but at this point I have no choice). Capcom owns anything
and everything MegaMan. If you can spot the slight cross over in this, you
get chocolate. MM.... Chocolate...

Vash felt another fist impact his chest, knocking the wind out of him again. He dropped Zero's PET, which clattered to the ground. Vash sank to the ground, the pain in his chest was unbearable. He suddenly felt a foot strike his gut, and he passed out from the pain. Before he closed his eyes, he could have sworn he saw a light coming from Zero's PET...
"HA! This kid is so weak. He can't even take a few punches!" The bullies erupted in laughter.
"Hey, back off Vash." A voice said from behind them.
"Who the heck are you?" one of the kids asked.
The man answered with a punch to the kids face, followed by a spin kick to the rest of the group. A few more fierce moves later, the bullies were on the ground. The figure stood above the fallen bullies, but disappeared a second later.
Lan arrived to see a flash of blinding light, but his eyes recovered soon. When he finally did open his eyes, he found the bullies lying on the ground, out cold. Vash was in a heap, his hand outstretched toward his PET. Zero was yelling from the upside-down PET, trying to find out of Vash was all right.
"Hey you! Yeah, you! Is Vash all right?"
"I don't know! Yai, go get the nurse!"
"Sure thing Lan!" Yai said as she started to run.
"Vash! Wake up!" Lan shook the boy vigorously, causing the boy to rouse slightly.
"Ugh... My ribs..."
"Hang in there Vash, Yai's getting help. Just hang in there, OK?"
------ Later... ------
"Well, the good news is that Ikari Vash has little or no permanent damage to his systems. The bad news is that Vash's psyche is shot. He can't take much more of this, and he needs some friends. His Navi seemed to help this, but it probably won't be enough."
"I see." Vash's father said. "Well, I really can't help him there. He purposely avoids confrontation with people, he's really shy, and he can't stand being rejected." Vash's father said. 'Just like I was...'
"What can we do for him?" His mother asked.
"Well, you can talk with those kids that brought him in." The doctor pointed toward four youths in the hallway.
------
Vash woke up in a white room. He stared at the ceiling, thinking about his life. His musing's were interrupted by his Navi.
"Vash! You all right?"
"I'll be fine. What happened? I thought they would have hurt you..."
"Nah, I couldn't see what was going on. The PET landed face down, so I couldn't see what was happening. You sure your going to be all right?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine in a few days. What's the prognosis?"
"You can go home today, but you'll be a little sore for a while. The Doc also says you need some friends." Zero grinned at Vash. "Guess that's what I'm here for."
"Thanks Zero." Vash smiled and tried to laugh, but his chest was sore, so his attempt failed.
"Hm? Oh, sure guys. Vash, looks like you have some visitors."
"Visitors?" Vash raised his eyebrow.
Lan, Maylu, Yai, Tory, and Vash's dad and mom walked into the room. Both Maylu and Yai gave Vash sympathetic smiles and tried to hug, but Vash backed away.
"Sorry, but it still hurts..."
The girls nodded in understanding, but Vash knew they didn't. He didn't mean his bodily injures, they were numb thanks to the pain killers in his system. Zero knew what he meant. Zero had gone through something similar...
"Hey Vash. How are you holding up, son?" His father asked.
"I'll be fine dad. Don't worry about me." Vash said. "Mom, do you think we can go home now?"
"Sure honey." She said with a smile. "We'll go down and check you out, OK?"
"Sure thing mom."
Vash's parents walked out of the room, leaving Vash and the others to converse.
"So, why did they beat you up anyway?" Lan asked the question that was on everyone else's mind.
"Well, I asked them that once, and they said it was because I was weak. I don't think that's the only reason. It might be because I program my own Navies, and they always turn out to be really strong."
"Why would that matter?" Asked.
"Because I would always beat them, and it hurt their ego's to be beaten by a wimp like me."
"Your not a wimp!" Maylu yelled. "If you were a wimp, you wouldn't have accepted Dex's challenge this morning!"
Vash was taken aback. Why had he accepted the challenge, instead of running away like he normally did?
"I... I don't know."
"I don't care if they think your a wimp. You can sit with us at lunch, if you'd like." Lan said.
"O-Ok. Where do you guys meet?"
Yai giggled at his stuttering saying, "We meet over by the cherry blossom tree, silly!"
Tory took a seat by Vash's bed, "Yeah. If those guys come back, we can always protect you there!"
"Thanks you guys." Vash tried to keep from laughing, knowing that the bullies were a lot stronger than all of them.
Maylu whispered something to Lan, who immediately looked through the room's open door. Standing in the hallway was a woman, who couldn't have been any older than Vash's parents. Her blood red eye's gave Lan chills, while her blue hair was freaking Maylu out. Vash didn't care about her looks, however.
"Aunt Rei!" Vash literally jumped out of the bed, and glomped on to his aunt.
"Ohayo Vash-kun." Rei said without much emotion. A small smile impossibly formed itself on her face. "I hope your injuries are not serious."
"Nah, I'll be just fine Rei-sama. They didn't get me too badly this time. Why didn't you come to see me earlier?"
"I am sorry to say that work has been keeping me busy lately. In the future, I will try to visit more often, Vash-kun."
Vash smiled brightly for his aunt. She was the only person who really understood him, and she tried to help him in any way possible. "Thank-you, Rei-sama!" Maylu noticed he was blushing slightly. "Oh! I almost forgot. These are my friends who helped me. This is Lan, Maylu, Yai, and Tory." he pointed to each respectively.
"It is an honor to meet you." Rei politely bowed to the kids.
"It's an honor to meet you to, Miss Rei." Lan said, bowing in unison with the others.
Rei's cell phone went off. "I'm sorry that I couldn't stay longer Vash-kun, but duty calls."
"I understand, Rei-sama. I hope we meet again soon!"
Rei quietly walked out of the room, only to be replaced by Vash's parents.
"Time to go Vash." His mother smiled and gathered up all of Vash's belongings. His father simply stood around until his mother whacked him upside his head, called him a baka, and told him to help. Soon, the family was driving away from the hospital, and dropping off Vash's new friends.
------
The next day, Lunch time rolled around again. Vash was shy, but still managed to sit with his new friends. Dex was unusually quiet, and that was unnerving to Vash, but the others took no notice. Suddenly, Dex got up his nerve, and got in Vash's face.
"OK loser, I want a rematch!"
"Wha?" Vash muttered incoherently.
"You heard me! Let's Net Battle!"
"Uh..." Vash started to back away, but suddenly Lan, Maylu, Yai and Tory were backing him up.
"Hey you, don't pick on Vash just because he isn't that strong!" Tory said, practically shoving Dex.
"Wait," Vash said, "if he wants a fight, he'll get one. Right Zero?"
"Heh, I just hope GutsMan isn't as easy this time." Zero was ready for another fight. Even if it was against a weaker opponent...
------
Zero VS. GutsMan, Round Two! Will GutsMan get his butt kicked again? (yes.) I STILL NEED HELP, AND NO ONE IS HELPING ME!!! Well, at least you people reviewed. Thank-you for that. And if you guessed Neon Genesis Evangelion is the cross over, then you get Chocolate! Check your fridge for it, your bound to find it eventually, Syrup or otherwise. (Don't expect much more out of Shinji and Asuka, but Rei might appear again.) ^_^
