Roll moaned softly and slowly came around in her PET. Her eyes fluttered open and gazed outside the glass window that acted as a barrier between the Cyber and Real Worlds. Immediately, she recognized the area outside, the Scilab. Mayl's eyes went wide as she heard the familiar beep of her PET. She and the others dashed forward, Mayl dropping to her knees and looking into the PET, tears in her eyes.
"Roll!!! Roll, are you going to be alright?!!" Roll moaned lightly and rubbed her head, giving a weak nod. "Yes, Mayl... B... but what happened to me...? The last thing I remember was being absorbed into Flamman's candle... then... I wake up here... How long've I been out..."
Lan sighed, having been with Mayl the entire time. A smile graced his face as he looked to Roll. "You've been out for the past week, and not without good reason... Protoman and Chaud showed us that move you did, it was amazing!!! I've never seen anyone deal with a Beta Navi so quickly!!!" Roll blinked, sitting on her knees in the PET. "What attack...?" Lan blinks a little bit. "You've gotta be kidding me, you don't remember the attack that you annihilated Flamman with?!!" Yai narrowed her eyes at him, giving the same glare she always did when she felt her pushed the line a bit. "Hey, watch it Lan. She had it rough dealing with him!!!" Lan sweatdropped, sighing. Chaud, who had only joined them on business of studying Roll's hidden abilities, walked forward and linked both his PET and Mayl's together.
"Protoman, transfer the video feed of one week ago of her battle with Flamman..." Protoman gave a stiff nod and sent the feed as instructed. Roll viewed the video, taking it in for a moment before she sat there in shock. She had a hard time believing that was her at all. The only real thing that gave her grounds to believe such was the fact she emerged from that candle halfway through being sucked in. She just sat there, shaking her head. "I... I can't believe it..."
It had been a week since Roll had awakened, all in all a grand total of two and a fourth months since Megaman was deleted. Roll had been suspended from Net use for going behind Mayl's back and training on such dangerous levels without her consent. Needless to say, Chaud hadn't gotten off easily either, as Mayl screamed at him in a way that made even he and Protoman turn white in the faces from fear. Roll sighed as she sat at the sealed off link to the net via the USB Cable of her PET. She blinked a little bit, her gloves beginning to give off a gentle blue pulse. She stood and looked to them, curious as to what was happening, until she heard another pulse behind her. She turned on her heels and came to a halt, her eyes wide as she saw the gate of the USB Cable's entry glowing.
"What... what does this mean...?" She thought hard on this for a few moments before she decided she may as well touch the gate. She walked forward and came to a stop before the glowing doorway. Hesitantly, she reached both her hands up and brought them to rest against the gate. Almost immediately, she vanished, appearing in mid-air above Mayl's homepage floor. This only lasted a second before the wonders of gravity set in though and sent her crashing down on her butt. Roll grit her teeth, rubbing her slightly sore bottom and standing. "I'll remember... to work on my landings..." She looked around, that not bothering her anymore, the real topic at hand the fact she'd gotten onto the web without being linked in. She thought hard on this for a moment, but finally decided to just shrug it off and explore the web.
That night, Mayl returned home, a great smile of pride across her face about beating Lan and the others time and time again at one of his new fighting games. She giggled and walked into her room, looking around it as she flipped on the lights. "Roll, I'm home!!! And I've won a few new Battlechips for you!!!" She blinked as she got no response from her PET. She walked to it and knelt down, dropping her backpack beside her. She attempted to remove it from sleep mode, but to no avail. Her eyes went wide as she found a small message in red lettering at the corner of the screen that read, "No Navi present. Please upload a Navi into the PET." Mayl immediately panicked and dashed to her phone, picking it up and dialing Lan.
Lan, at the same time, had been throwing a small pity party over his loss to Mayl. He blinked a bit as his self-pity was interrupted by the ringing of the phone. Immediately he sat up and picked it up, putting it to his ear. "Hello, this is the Hikari residence, Lan speaking." He pulled his ear away from the phone and grit his teeth as Mayl screamed panicked into the phone. Immediately Lan put his mouth to the receiver, being careful to keep his ears at a distance for the time. "Mayl, you've gotta calm down and speak to me calmly!!! I won't be able to listen too terribly well if my hearing's shot!!!"
Mayl grit her teeth on the other side of the phone, tears in her eyes. She calmed a bit as Lan instructed, then continued, the anxiety still in her voice. "Lan, Roll's not in her PET!!! I don't know how, but when I checked for all the Navis online, it found Roll's name up there!!! When I tried a search, my computer surged and crashed, I need help Lan!!!"
Lan grit his teeth and nodded softly. "Right, I see... I'll call up Dex and see if I can get Chaud to help us too! You get Yai to get Glyde out on the net!!! As for us, come over and we'll do a search for her from my computer, okay?!! Okay, I'll see you then, Mayl!!!" He hung up, then immediately picked the receiver back up and dialed Dex's number. "Hello, Dex?! This is Lan, listen, we've got a situation!!!"
By now, Roll had found a quiet place to sit in Beach Square and contemplate about the events that had taken place. She shut her eyes, hugging herself and whispering softly. "None of this makes any sense... first everything's going South for Protoman and I... and then immediately, I get this strange power that totally takes over me and lets me thrash Flamman into nothing... Mega, I'm scared... Help me through this..." She lowered her head and brought her knees to her chest, hugging them there as tightly as she could. "... I'm so scared, Mega... Help me, please..."
By now, Protoman was wandering Beach Square silently, searching for Roll as Chaud had instructed him. What caught his attention was the sound of a female Navi with quickened breathing, obviously in hysterics. He turns and walked slowly towards her position, finding Roll making a useless attempt to sob silently to herself. He knelt down and looked at her, not even needing to see her face to look into her emotions and see how sad she was. He sighed and reached out, letting a hand come to rest on her shoulder. Roll blinked a bit as she felt the comforting hand and rose her head, her gaze falling upon Protoman. Protoman kept knelt before her, giving a gentle nod to try and reassure her in his own way.
Roll grit her teeth, then threw her arms about his neck and cried into his chest from there. Protoman sat there, stunned by this sudden action. After a moment, the Red clad warrior brought his arms about her back and embraced her in return, stroking her ponytail. Despite it's original metallic look, something about it had changed. He stopped stroking her hair and reached around back on his head, grasping his hair a moment and getting a feel of it. Right after, he brought his hand forward and began stroking her hair again, taking a gaze at it over her back, shocked to find it had changed. Instead of looking like a single plate of steel, it had grown textured, much like his own hair. He closed his eyes, thinking to himself as he comforted the young lady in his arms. 'There's something way different about her, even than Megaman's differences... and I intend to find out...'

Protoman: Now you're making me sound like the bad guy or something...
Me: So? Maybe you will be, and maybe you won't. It depends on what I write next, so deal.
Chaud: If you don't clear this up, I'll sic Protoman on you...
Me: Oh really now... *Smirks and looks towards a bedroom door* C'mere!!! I've got a little job for you!!!
Mayl: *Enters through the door and crosses her arms* Something wrong, sir?
Me: *Grins* I told her why Roll was bleeding in return for her body guardswomanship, uhh... however you say that. Well, anyhow, still want me to spill the beans on my story?
Protoman and Chaud: *Sweatdrop enormously and slowly step back* We're good... no complaints...
Me: That's what I thought. *Tosses Mayl a Lan plushie and watches her dive back into her room for it* Good girl!!! Anyhow people, I'll update you in the next chapter, until then, later!!!
