The Pain Of Loss Chapter 7 - Growing and Changing All the Time
~~Heh, Chapter 7 now, folks!!! I have gotten some good responses about
Chapter 6, so I'm guessing for a first time I ever wrote something that
sentimental, it was pretty good, not to toot my own horn. *Kicks a Trumpy
off screen, sweatdropping slightly.* Ehehehe, virus problem...
Weeeeeeeellll, anyhow. I've also got news for you people. Now, this has
been an ethic for me for a long time, but unless it's a one shot, then
there's no way I'll start another story until I finish the first. So no
distractions, folks!!! Enough idle talk now, time to get this thing on!!!~~

Mayl and Lan walked together hand in hand into the Scilab. Yai blinked a bit as she saw this, then giggled and smiled softly to the two. "Well, two things of good news in one day, hm? We find Roll in one piece, and now we have love birds on the scene." Dex blinked a bit as he heard this, turning quickly. His eyes practically bulged out of his head at this, going pale in the face and wearing a blank expression as he thought to himself.
'She... She's with Lan... and... they... that look...' Dex immediately fell back, dazed. Lan and Mayl sweatdropped, looking to each other. Lan was the first of the couple to speak up. "Maybe... we should've told him first..." Mayl nodded softly, looking to Dex slightly worried. Chaud sighed, shutting his eyes.
"If you're done with the idle chatter, can we get on with this? I need to talk with you guys... without Gutsman and Glyde hanging around..." Yai blinked, then nodded softly, walking to Dex and grabbing his PET from around his neck. "You heard him... hang out in the square for a bit." She walked to the computer and jacked Glyde and Gutsman in. As soon as they formed, she disconnected the USB cables to cut off the vocal link. Chaud nodded a "thank you" to Yai, then looked to Mayl, his gaze as piercing as ever.
"Protoman and I have been noticing a difference in Roll lately... and it's not just her powers, either... Protoman, bring up your original visuals of Roll's form and the one's from the other day." Protoman nodded and sent the files as ordered. Immediately, two pictures of Roll flashed on one of the empty screens, side by side. Lan walked forward, crossing his arms.
"So? She looks the exact same..." Roll sweatdropped and shook her head, sighing softly. "I should've guessed you wouldn't notice... you ARE Lan, after all..." Lan looked to her, his eye twitching slightly as Mayl giggled. "Sorry Lan, I have to side with Roll on this..." Chaud cleared his throat, drawing the attention back to his person.
"As I was saying..." He walked up to the screen nodded to Protoman, who immediately turned the visuals so Roll's back was facing. He pointed to the current picture of Roll, right below the ribbon. "Look closely at her hair in the first visual, then at this one..." Lan gazed for a few moments, then, after it finally got through to his brain, he looked to Chaud, slightly shocked.
"Her hair's different?!" Chaud nodded silently. Lan walked forward and growled, getting right in his face. "That's it?!! Jeez, so she was modified, it doesn't mean anything special!!!" Mayl sighed, looking to the side. "Actually, Lan... I never changed Roll's looks, not since I first received her..." Lan looked to her, blinking a little bit. "You mean..."
Chaud, without any hesitation, pushed Lan back, definitely a bit peeved about him getting up in his face like that. "Her body's being reformatted as we speak. Her hair used to be just a piece of metal, now it has texture like Protoman's. She's growing and developing, Lan..." Lan thought of this, then looked down, remembering the Guts Style program installed in Megaman as Chaud said this. This hit Roll too. She sat on her knees and shut her eyes, whispering softly to herself. "Megaman... I miss you so much... I wish you would come back to me..." She sighed and stood, turning and starting to walk away. Protoman looked to her, crossing his arms.
"And where do you think you're going...?" Roll looked to him, her arms crossed under her chest, her eyes filled with pain and sorrow. "I... I need some time to myself..." Without a word, she walked to the Scilab gate and exited onto the web. Mayl sighed, looking at her PET. "Roll... She really does miss him..." Lan sighed, embracing Mayl gently, knowing well that she was hurt by Roll's pain. "It's okay... we all do, Mayl... We all do..."

Me: Well, I haven't ended a chapter on a sad or sad-ish note since the first...
Protoman: Good thing we all know the outcome and how Megaman...
Me: *Slams him on the head with Amy Rose's Piko Piko Hammer* DON'T SPOIL THE END OF THE GAME FOR THE GUYS WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED IT, YA MORON!!!
Mayl: *Sweatdrops as she watches Protoman stumble into a virus field while he's disoriented* Eeeehhh... On another note. the next chapter's going to have a bit more action. He said he's been missing it and he has a few ideas in mind.
Me: Don't you go into detail, Mayl...
Mayl: Oh, don't pull that with me, you don't hit girls, it's against your ethics!!!
Me: True... but... *Points to a very agitated Cream the Rabbit with an M-16 from The Rogue's Gallery, an online comic he reads* It's not against hers...
Mayl: *Backs up slowly into a room and shuts the door*
Me: I thought so. ^.^ Anyhow, that's it for this chapter. I'll see ya!!! C'mon, squirt, O.M.A.-Sama and Jen-Sama'll have fits if their Punching Bag isn't returned soon... *Drags Cream off and back to The Rogue's Gallery now as she starts to whine pathetically*
