"Well today's the day." Lan said to Maylu, who turned in her desk and nodded. She was very nervous and her hands were shaking. It was 3:00 and the bell was going to ring at 3:30.
"Since today is Friday, I'm going to dismiss everyone early. Have a nice week-end!" Ms. Mari said, smiling at the class. Everyone filed out of the classroom happy that their teacher let them out early.
"Let's go to Yai's house and get this thing started." Maylu told Lan and he nodded.
At Yai's Club House
"Ok, so Dex is going to try to kill you! And you're going to let him!" Yai cried, grabbing on to Chaud. He held her as her tears started and gave Maylu and Lan a concerned look.
"And you came here because...?"
"I know that if something happens, Glyde and Protoman have our back." Maylu said, knowing she was right.
"I see. Well then all we have to do is wait until its 4 o'clock." Chaud said, sitting down on the couch with Yai.
"Lan and I will be right back." Maylu grabbed Lan's hand and they went in the bathroom together.
"Lan, we have to be prepared for this." Maylu said, sitting on the floor against the wall.
"I know and I'm going to try my best to be ready. Do you have all of your good battle chips?" Lan replied, sitting beside her.
"Yes, do you?"
"Yup."
"And the program advance?"
"I have those chips too."
"Good. We're all set then." Maylu leaned against Lan and he put his arm around her.
"I'm afraid. What if-?"
"We won't have any what ifs. Everything will turn out fine. I promise."
"Lan, I love you. No matter what..."
"I love you too, Maylu. And everything will be ok."
Suddenly their PETs started to beep and at the same time Megaman and Roll said, "You have an e-mail."
Lan and Maylu got up and left the bathroom. When they reached Yai and Chaud they both looked up.
"It's time."
At the W3 Building
Dex stood in a booth, his PET logged into the Net. He had an ear piece in his ear and his cell phone on. He and Natalie had gone over the plan again over the phone and now they were waiting for the battles to start. Natalie was on her cell phone at her house, waiting in front of her computer.
"It starts." Dex said, a chuckle coming to his mouth.
'To bad it'll end so soon.' Natalie thought, smirking.
At Yai's Club House
"It's an e-mail full of viruses!" Megaman cried, shooting his buster as quickly as he could.
"I got the same thing, Mega! Maylu, what's going on?" Roll yelled, using aqua and fire tower. (The two navis weren't told about the plan, so they don't know what's going on.)
"I don't know! Let's fight them off though! Spreader battle chip in!" In about 3 minutes all the viruses were deleted.
"Look another e-mail. It says: 'Gutsman and Nadalia are destroying SciLabs Main Computer. Can you stop them?' And then it ends."
"Then let's get to SciLab square and soon." Maylu said, jacking Roll into the Net.
At SciLab Square
"They're coming! I know they are." Nadalia told Gutsman, who was currently tossing a navi up and down. He threw the navi into a wall and watched as he was deleted.
"Finally! It took them long enough!" Gutsman replied, walking to the portal.
"Mega! Watch out!" Megaman and Roll jumped out of the portal quickly as Gutsman swung at them.
"So it's you too! What are you doing?! Why do you keep destroying things?" Roll was getting angrier by the minute.
"Look Bun, it's a free country. So I can do whatever I want." Nadalia laughed and ran off, making sure Roll was chasing behind her.
"Roll!" Megaman watched as Roll gave chase and then he turned to Gutsman.
"You planned this, didn't you? You're the one who sent us those e-mails full of viruses." Megaman's green eyes blazed in anger. He was sick and tired of the whole thing.
"Yeah, I did and so what?"
"Why?"
"Because I can. What are you gonna do about it?"
"Stop you."
And their battle began.
With Roll and Nadalia
"Roll, stop! I'm not going to fight you! I promise." Nadalia stop running when she was in SciLab 1. She sat on the ground, catching her breath.
"What are you talking about?" Roll's new buster appeared on her arm and she aimed it at Nadalia.
"Roll stop!" Maylu cried, making sure Roll heard her.
"Why Maylu?" Roll lowed her blaster slightly, but still kept it aimed at Nadalia.
"Because she won't harm us. She's on our side."
Roll lowered her blaster completely, "Are you really??"
"Yes, I tried to tell you that." Nadalia said, giving a sigh of relief.
"Oh. Well then I'm sorry for trying to delete you."
"That's ok."
"So, Maylu, what do we do now?" Roll asked, looking up at her netop's face.
"We wait." Natalie said, startling the whole group.
"How long?"
"Until it's time."
With Gutsman and Megaman
"Die!" Gutsman charged at Megaman, who jumped out of the way. Again. They had been playing 'Catch the Blue Boy' for about 20 minutes and Megman only managed to get a few hits in. He would kill Gutsman, that wasn't his style. But he would get him to log out if it was the last thing he did.
"HeatGuts Style!" Lan cried, making the program start up. Megaman started his transformation and Lan waited with three Fire Tower battle chips in hand.
"Fire Tower 1! Fire Tower 2! And Fire Tower 3 Battle Chip In!"
Lan tossed battle chips in the slot and Megaman used them as soon as he got them.
"It's about to get really hot, Gutsman." Megaman said, smirking.
"I think I can take, Blue Boy." Gutsman dodged the first fire tower, but he wasn't so lucky the second or third time. To finish him off, Megaman charged up his Mega-Buster and after a couple of seconds a huge flame burst from it and hit Gutsman head on.
"Gutsman Logging Out." A female computerized voice said, and Gutsman was gone.
"Lan! We beat him!" Megaman's excited voice said.
With Roll and Nadalia
"Now, we can leave." Natalie said, smiling.
"Thank you for your help, Natalie. You too Nadalia." Maylu said, and Roll nodded smiling.
"Your welcome." Natalie and Nadalia said together and then Nadalia logged out.
"How did you know they weren't going to fight us?" Roll asked, turning to the screen.
"Log out and I'll tell you."
At 6:00 p.m.
"So she's helping you by telling you his plans?" Roll asked, sitting on Megaman's lap. He smiled at her, but listened to Lan and Maylu as well.
"Yes. She's helping us so that we don't die."
"I guess, Natalie is a better person then I thought she was." Roll replied, smiling. She took her helmet off and giggled when Megaman start to pull off her bows.
"How'd you learn to do that?"
"Watching you." Megaman pulled her bows off and proceeded to unbraid her hair. Roll turned around to see Maylu laughing at her.
"That's so cute!! When you two get married, you have to wear your hair down." Maylu cried, giggling.
"Can navis even get married?" Lan asked, actually curious.
"Mine is!"
"If you say so." Lan said, smiling. He sat down next to Maylu on the porch.
"When will it be time to go?"
"Same time as before."
"Are we sneaking out again?"
"Don't we have to?"
"Yeah."
"Exactly."
"Then, I'll see you later tonight."
At 12:25 p.m.
"Are you two always this early to everything?" Natalie asked, once again in her cloak with the hood on. She had brought Nadalia with her and she was currently playing tag with Megaman, Roll, and Rush.
"I am, but Lan usually isn't." Maylu said, with a laugh.
"I was only late because my dreams kept me awake and I lost sleep."
"Use whatever excuse you want."
"I am."
"Ok, enough with the lovers spats. We have work to do. Later today, Dex is planning to kill you. We have to make it to where you won't die. Maylu is there a way you can make your vest and Lan's bullet proof?"
"If you get me some bullet proof vests, I can take them apart and sew the stuff that's in them into our vests."
"Good. Lan, he's going to have a gun. I'm telling you this because he showed it to me. Last night." Natalie said, with a chill. She remembered every detail about the shiny metal gun she had seen.....
Flashback
Dex and Natalie were in the W3 Building when Dex got a call from Mr. Willie.
"Come to my office! Now!!" Wille had yelled into the phone. Natalie who was sitting on the other side of the room, could hear him loud and clear as day.
"Yes, sir." Dex replied, almost like he was talking to a general or something. He hung up the phone and got off the couch of his room.
"Nat, come on, the boss wants us." Dex said, walking over to her and yanking her off the couch. The two walked down the hall, Dex's grasping painfully on Natalie's wrist. When the entered the main room, there was Mr. Willie sitting in front of a large TV.
"You called?" Dex said his voice very quiet.
"I did. Come here. In front of my desk." Dex went forward taking Natalie with him, since he was still holding onto her wrist.
"Talk!" Dex whispered fiercely, squeezing her wrist tighter.
"How can we help you, Mr.Willie?" Natalie said, her voice shaking. This was the first and probably the last time she'd meet him.
"Your going to kill Lan Hikari, are you not?"
"We are." Dex replied, his eyes going dark with uncontrolled anger.
"And you need to kill him without making a mess, correct?"
Dex nodded again.
"Then here. Take this." Willie turned around in his chair, revealing his face to Natalie. She gave a gasp; she never knew how old he was! Then looking down at what was in his hands she took a step back.
"Thank you." Dex said, letting go of Natalie and taking the gun in his hand. He smiled, with true happiness and walked out of the room with Natalie slowly falling behind. Once they were in the hallway, Natalie spoke up.
"Are you sure you want to have that? That's a killing machine, Dex. One bullet can end a life. You must understand that."
Dex spun around and cocked the pistol at her, "Are you trying to make me change my mind?! Do you have an objection of what I'm doing?!"
A look of pure fear crossed her face, "No. No, I'm not."
"Good. We don't want three people to die instead of two do we?" Dex pulled Natalie to him once again and held the gun underneath her chin. He ran it along her neck and stop right between her breasts.
"Now, are we on the same page? Or do I need to make my instructions a little bit clearer?"
"N-no."
"Good. Now come on. We have some planning to do."
End Flashback
Natalie shuddered again then looked up.
"Natalie, are you ok?" Maylu asked, waving her hand in front of her face.
"I'm fine. Now, Dex's plan once again is to separate you. He expects me to be a better fighter than you Maylu, but I'm not going to fight you at all. Much like yesterday. We are going to create a hostage situation between you and me."
"So I'm going to make it look like a beat you up, and then threaten Dex with it."
"Yes, but it might not make much of a difference. Just because I work with him does not mean he cares about me. But just so he knows that it's two against one, that's all the will matter."
"But isn't that unfair?" Lan asked.
"Do you want to die?" Natalie replied.
"No."
"Ok then. Anyway, after that the rest will play it's self out."
"If he shoots at us?"
"Try to dodge." Natalie said, her voice quavering again. She thought she was going to get shoot earlier, but thanks to whomever (me!) she didn't. She sighed and sat down in a desk.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Maylu asked her, looking concerned.
"Fine. But it's time I went home and got some sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow." Natalie got up and waved, leaving the room.
