Thanks for the review's and stuff! Note; I said Flame-ish, meaning it was like a flame, but not really. It's the first review I ever got that said 'Dude, your screwing up'. Now let's drop the subject, cause I'm tired of it, and get to the story. Note: Writer's block is evil. I don't own anything MegaMan. It's capcom's.

Vash slowly opened his eyes, the sunlight beating down on his face. It was a beautiful sunrise, with only a few clouds disturbing the sun's magnificent rays. The only thing missing was...

"ZERO!" Vash grabbed the PET, only to find a document opened on it.

"Vash, Iris has been taken by Ireul. I'm going after her, so follow me if you want to skip school. The map is on the E-mail, so look it up. MegaMan, Forte, Roll, and the others are with me, since they also received E-mails. Don't worry, I'll get your girlfriend's Navi back."

"Hey, I don't have a... HEY! THAT'S NOT TRUE!" Vash yelled. 'Yet...'

"Vash, what's wrong? It's six A.M., and I don't have work for another three hours." Shinji called down the hall.

"Dad, get dressed! I think Zero found out where Ireul is!"

------

Meanwhile, the same series of event was happening at Lan's house.

"Mom! I'm going to school early!" Lan grabbed his PET. It, like Vash's, was empty. 'MegaMan...'

"Lan! You never go to school early! What's going on?" Lan's mom raised her eyebrow.

"It's nothing Mom, I'm just going early." He ran out the door, ran back in to grab his lunch, and ran back out.

Forte stood just outside of Wily's fortress. It's data form was corrupted, almost sickly looking. Various Navies patrolled the outside of the fortress, all infected by Ireul.

"That's a lot of security." MegaMan stated flatly.

"Not really. I've seen worse." Zero smiled, remembering Neo Arcadia. "If we all attack at once from all sides, we can take them."

"Okay. So we attack from all sides and delete everyone." Forte nodded in agreement with the plan.

"But..." Roll looked hesitant to the plan.

"Roll, I know you don't want to delete these Navies, but there's no way Zero can drain them all without getting all of us killed." ProtoMan gave Zero a cold look, still holding a slight grudge from his defeat.

"We all know that. Let's get moving." Zero started to walk toward the fortress, drawing his saber and equipping his fire element chip.

YamatoMan, guardian of the eastern wall, was the first Navi to notice Zero approaching. "Everyone! To arms! The enemy approaches!" several hundred Navi's and Viruses pulled out long range weapons, and pointed them at Zero. "Everyone, FIRE AT WILL!"

Zero pulled out his Shield Boomerang a few seconds after the first volley was released. The shot's were reflected harmlessly, and impacted in their owner's faces.

"Hm. Guess I'll have to take care of this pest my self."

YamatoMan hopped over the wall and pulled out a spear. He landed hard, but stood and thrust his spear towards Zero. Zero deflected it with his Z-saber, and changed his form to Active Form. He jumped into the air and did a spinning slash at YamatoMan, who barely dodged the attack.
YamatoMan brought out another spear and attempted to stab Zero. Zero rolled under it and slashed YamatoMan's leg. The Injured Navi swung his spear around himself, trying to force Zero away. Zero jumped away to avoid the attack, and used his Chain Rod to stun the Navi. After draining Ireul from Yamato Man, Zero pulled the Chain Rod free. He charged his Z buster and fired a Blast Shot, destroying the east gate and gaining him access to the fortress...

Forte was NOT having a good time. After defeating several legions of Viruses, all GutsMan would talk about was how great HE was. With his patience reaching the breaking point, Forte turned toward the annoying Navi.

"WOULD YOU SHUT-UP!!" Forte glared at the Navi, who was now looking extremely sheepish. Before Forte could continue yelling MegaMan, ProtoMan, Roll, Glyde, and IceMan walked into the room.

"What's that all about?" Roll was holding MegaMan's hand.

"Nothing, Guts." GutsMan had finally composed himself.

"Whatever. Oops, that would be Zero's line." MegaMan looked around for the Navi, and didn't find him. "Speaking of Zero, has anyone seen him?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Great. Hey, let's split up and find him."

Everyone but Glyde agreed.

"Wah? Why not Glyde?" MegaMan asked.

"It's just like an old movie called 'The Thing'." He said, "This creature goes around killing people and coping their form. We can't split up because we could be infected! The only person who can't get infected that we know of is Zero."

"Right. And he's the only one who can cure us..." Roll heaved a sigh.

"Wait! If we stay in large groups, then we have a better chance of knowing who's infected!"

"True enough..." Glyde admitted.

"Then it's settled." Forte grabbed MegaMan and Roll, and dragged them down a random hallway. They soon met resistance, which they beat down with little trouble. The other group was having a harder time, however. Ireul, knowing that they were weaker, maneuvered it's forces into attacking them...

"DAD! Come on!"

Vash was dragging his father through AC-DC towns 'slums'(if you could even call them that). He could see the building that the map pointed to, and it was only two blocks away. Before they reached it however, a limousine pulled up and Chaud stepped out, followed by Maylu, Lan, Tory, Yai, and Dex.

"Hey! No fair! You people got a ride!" Vash joked when he got within earshot. Then Kasumi stepped out. Vash's heart skipped three beats. She was dressed in a Kimono, surprisingly. It was a vivid blue, with a deep green ribbon tied around it. Her hair, which was normally in a ponytail, was swaying freely in the breeze. All together, she was more beautiful than any other girl he had ever seen.

Shinji noticed his gawking, and laughed. "Kid, you have to learn how to control those hormones!"

"Uh, Dad? What are hormones?"

"I'll tell you later."

"Oh, it's one of those things. Gotcha."

"Hello Mr. Ikari!" Lan greeted him, along with the others.

"Hey kids. So, this is where all of your maps lead you?"

They nodded.

"Okay. In we go then!" Shinji, who had gained extreme amounts of experience with lock-picking from his teenage years, began to work his magic on the door. Within seconds, it was open. "Son, never tell your Mom I can do this."

"Why not, Mr. Ikari?" Chaud asked in a semi-naive voice.

"Cause Vash wont have a father if you do, now drop it."

The group moved inside, avoiding the slight security measures that Wily had put in place. After a while of random searching, they found a computer room. The only problem was that ALL the computers were burnt out.

"Well, these are useless..." Lan shrugged and moved on, only to find a large black and red mass covering the door.

"HOLY-!" Shinji cut himself off for the children's sake.

"What the heck is that!?!" Maylu pointed at the formation that now encompassed the door.

"Could it be Ireul?" Tory asked.

"Whatever it is, we're trapped because of it." Dex tried to punch it, but his hand met Ireul's AT field instead.

"Were all trapped in here." A tall man with red hair stepped out of the shadows. HinoKen.

"You! What the heck are you doing here?!?" Yai was about to kick him in the shin for scaring her, but refrained from doing so.

"Well, we were all trapped in here when we tried to stop Ireul from taking over our Navies." Count Elec stepped out from the shadows as well.

"You too? Great. Who else is in the shadows?" Lan sweat dropped when Madoi and Mahajorama stepped out as well.

Dex raised his hand. "So we have to wait until Zero defeats Ireul to escape, right?"

"Yes Dex. And we're not in school, so don't raise your hand!" Maylu smacked the back of his head.

"So... We're trapped?" Lan asked.

Everyone nodded.

"With no way out?"

"Yep." They all nodded again.

"And our only hope is our Navies, which we don't even know where they are exactly."

"Uh-huh."

"We're doomed."
