Epilogue

It was a quiet night. Protoman sat next to his hoverbike, staring up at the stars. Unreachable, but nice to look at.

He heard the rumble of another hoverbike's engine, and turned to see Mega Man landing nearby, his hands raised.

"Wait, Proto," called Mega before Proto could shoot. "I don't want to fight."

"My name is Protoman to you," Proto snapped. Mega Man flinched.

"Protoman, I..." Mega stopped, staring at his feet, and Proto waited, eyes narrowed.

"What?!" he snapped finally, growing impatient.

"I—I just wanted to tell you…thank you for taking care of me." He threw something at Proto's feet. "And…" Mega Man looked down, almost embarrassed. "If you come...I'd like it if you could call me...Rock."

Mega took off into the sky, and Proto followed him with his eyes. When Proto finally looked down, he saw Mega had dropped a package. Inside was a single piece of paper, and written on the paper was the password to enter Mega Man's home.
