Author's Notes: I do not own MMBN or lay claim to any characters thereof.

S. F. O. Mega-Man, not a chance, there is a winner, and you'll see who soon enough, as soon as I'm done dragging these notes out as long as I possibly can.

L. Wulf, sorry, Bass (as Pharaoh-Man) Interrupted the N-1 last time, so that won't be happening here...

S. Rain, I had to give Roll a moment of glory considering...

If you don't know what it is, I'll explain Cross-fusion for you in the next chapter.

Begin Chapter!

"Uh, Lan." Mega-Man mumbled. "Maylu, I-"Roll gasped.

What happened next shocked everyone.

Mega-Man Logging Out.

Roll Logging Out.

"It's a tie?" We all shouted in disbelief.

"No, it's not a tie!" Ribbita roared into her microphone. "The judges are going to review, and determine which Navi was logged out first, the results will be posted as soon as possible."

Now this was too much, we had to wait for the judges to decide who had won. I couldn't even bring myself to hope that...

"Maylu." Lan's voice came to me. "Whatever happens, I'm not going to let it affect us."

"Thanks, I won't either." I replied.

"Same as." Mega-Man spoke up.

"I hear you." Roll agreed.

"AANNDD we have our winner!" Ribbita interrupted us. "Using slow motion footage and the records from our server, it was easy for the judges to determine a winner... after the sword attacks, Mega-Man-"

Everyone in the audience gasped.

"Held out for half a second longer than Roll did. Our winner is Lan Hikari!"

The crowd burst into cheers.

I sighed and let the stress of the match fade away as I turned to leave, I was disappointed, but what was heaviest on my mind was the fact that now there was next to no hope for the Youth Hospital.

"Maylu, Good job."

"Thanks, Lan." I continued to move away, "I guess I'll talk to you later..."

"Maylu, wait!"

I wasn't mad at him; I just needed a few minutes to gain control of my emotions. So I just kept walking until Ribbita collared Lan for an interview.

"We blew it." I sat on my bed, thinking over the day's events, "We just blew it. And now the Youth Hospital's done for."

"Well, maybe someone else will step in." Roll tried to boost my spirits. "We were willing to, maybe it's not over yet."

"I hope not." I shook my head, it was at times like this when the dark world seemed so fitting; it matched my mood. "But I don't think that it's likely..."

"We tried." My Navi continued, "That's more than others have done."

"We did." I agreed, but our effort hadn't been enough. Was there anything different we could have done, something that might have changed the outcome? I didn't know, and I didn't like not knowing.

"Maylu, why don't- hey!"

"What is it?" I jerked upright.

"Someone's trying to open up a communication's link!" She replied, "And I can't stop it!"

"But that's-"

"Impossible?" A familiar voice floated through the air, "nothing is, when you're Famous."

"You again?" I placed his voice, no one really knew who 'Mr. Famous' was; all we knew was that he was a brilliant Navi programmer. And the creator of the famed 'Extra Code', but he had shown up once or twice and given us a hand, especially when Mega-Man had just about lost himself to the 'Bug Style'. I had a suspicion that he was keeping in contact with Lan. "What do you want?"

Needless to say, I wasn't too thrilled about the fact that he could invade my P.E.T.

"I heard about your exploits in the recent tournaments." Famous started explaining. "And I thought that you'd want to know, the Youth Hospital's going to be attacked tonight. Furthermore, I thought that you'd want to help them, Lan's going to have his hands full on this one. But be warned, this is not your average hacking job, it's going to be more dangerous than anything you've ever faced.

"Try me." I kept playing the tough gal; this guy was annoying me for some reason. "What could be so bad about it?"

"Remember Dr. Hikari's Dimensional Converter?"

"You don't mean that thing that brought the Life Virus to the real world..."

"Yes, they're going to set one off inside of that building." Famous continued, "And there's going to be an additional danger as well. So, I'm sending you some chip data, but be warned, this is still highly experimental, and it's only going to work once."

"So what's it do?" I queried.

"Have you ever heard of Cross Fusion?"

End Chapter!

Next: Care to Cross-Fuse?

I just couldn't bring myself to do it, sorry.

Unfortunately, I suffered a virus attack on my computer. And as a result I lost the third installment to the DBD series. And since I had put off making a backup, I don't have it anymore. I'll try to rewrite the story, but I probably won't have it done by the time this one wraps up. Sorry.

Turo Unison: Roll's boots turn red and gains yellow kneepads with her legs a slightly lighter shade of crimson. Her body armor changes to match the boots, but with a gray stripe running horizontally through her crest. Her gloves go mustard and match Turbo-Man's as shoulder pads appear that bear and uncanny resemblance to tires but with a red spoiler on the back of each. Her helmet turns red, and gains a clear visor, with two silver raised stripes (like Mega's) running halfway over the top before stopping.
