The Pain Of Loss Chapter 9 - A Familiar, Yet Unknown Figure
~~
Me: Gahhhh... today's totally blown on SO many levels!!!!
Zero: *Blinks and sips a coffee* What makes you say that?
Me: Let me explain... I nearly got run over 3 times, I was behind on my
time because it was MEGA windy and my Mom held me up with a lecture on
cleaning my room, which I just finished, on top of that, mall security
busted me AGAIN for roller blading through the parking lot. They said if
I'm caught again, I'm getting arrested for trespassing.
Mayl: *Sweatdrops slightly, tilting her head* Guess that cuts your route
short...
Me: HELL NO!!! I'm just gonna go mega stealth, all ninja-ish... . .
Lan: ... riiiiiiiight... can we get on with the story? I wanna know what
that other person in Roll's mind is!!!
Me: Fine, fine, fine, ya whiner... LET'S GET THIS OOOOONNN!!!!

Roll came around slowly, lying on a table with probes scanning her body. She blinked a little bit and tried to sit up, but was halted by the restrains about her waist, wrists, and ankles. Protoman stood at her side, shaking his head. "Relax... they're just copying your basic data to examine it, and they're checking you for any permanent damage..." Roll blinked, then gave a gentle nod, shutting her eyes and lying back, sighing softly as she thought to herself.
'So... I remember what happened this time... but, why did I turn into such a brutal killer...?' Just then, a voice echoed in the back of her mind. 'Because, my dear Roll, you wanted it...' Roll's eyes shot open as she heard this, frightened slightly at first. She looked down, left and right, unable to see anyone. She even tilted her head back to see if anyone was behind her, but all she saw was the wall. She shook her head, looking blankly at the light gleaming down upon her body.
Mayl paced back and forth just outside the Scilab's Virus Lab, her arms crossed. Her eyes were filled with worry for her dear friend, unable to help but wonder what was going on. Chaud opened his eyes from his position up against the wall, glaring coldly at her.
"Will you cut that out...? It's not going to get anything done, you're just wasting energy..." Mayl stopped immediately, then turned and walked to him, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and lifting him a little bit off the ground. "I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN, EUGENE CHAUD!!! I SWEAR, I'LL..." She was holding a fist up in the air with her free hand, but she blinked as she felt another hand upon it. She looked to the one who grabbed her hand, Lan. He shook his head, and she nodded in response, lowering her head. She had calmed, but this also made her lose the strength any person gets when they go into a rage like that, causing her to drop Chaud onto his butt. Chaud just sat there, staring at her. His eyes seemed to shrink to the size of beads, and his body was shaking as though there were an earthquake beneath him. Gutsman and Glyde sweatdropped enormously, definitely knowing it wouldn't be wise to get Mayl mad at them. After a few more moments, Chaud had regained his composure, and Dr. Hikari walked out, holding Mayl's PET.
"There's no damage, but one thing's for certain, she has a growth program in her..." Lan blinked, then walked up to his father, looking right up at him. "Dad... do... you mean it's like..." Dr. Hikari shook his head, sighing. "No. It's alike, Lan, but different in many, many ways... even I can't come to explain it yet. Anyhow, Mayl, leave Roll in sleep mode for the night. I think her AI's been stressed enough for the day." Mayl gave a gentle nod and embraced her PET, tears of joy and relief running down her cheeks. "Thank you, Dr. Hikari..." Dr. Hikari smiled and nodded, slipping his hands into his pants pockets. "Anytime. Oh, by the way, one more thing. Congratulations to the both of you." He chuckled softly, causing Lan and Mayl to blush a deep crimson. The only reason he'd gotten word on this entire event, including Lan and Mayl's relationship, was that he had just walked into the Virus Lab after a meeting to do some research. Chaud cleared his throat as he jacked Protoman out of the Virus Lab's computer. "I... I'll be going now..." Dr. Hikari blinked as Chaud walked out, noticing how shook up he was.
While Dr. Hikari pondered Chaud's fear, and the others did all they could to keep quiet about it to save trouble, Roll dreamt inside her PET. Though this dream was far more than just a simple dream, it was communication. "Who are you? And what are you doing inside my head?" The figure wrapped her arms about Roll's neck from behind, embracing her. White hair fell forward from the shadows. Upon her body were black boots and gloves with a gray bodysuit, much like Roll's. The only real difference was a breastplate upon her, much like that of the Zero Virus'. "My dear Roll... for now... I will leave it at this... I am someone you know very well, yet you have never met with before." Roll blinked, then shut her eyes. For some reason, this female Navi's embrace comforted her, removing all fear and sorrow for the time. "... I don't know what you mean..." The female Navi nodded, gently stroking Roll's right cheek. "I promise you, my dear Roll... you will know in due time. For now, sleep. You have a long, long journey ahead of you." With that, Roll dozed off in this figure's arms, unaware of all that would soon occur.

Me: I feel loads better now that I wrote this.
Axl: Well, guess whatever floats your boat, right?
Me: Yep.
Megaman.EXE: Okay, who's the girl in Roll's head, then?
Me: None of your business, blue boy.
Lan: He doesn't know yet...
Me: *Punches Lan in the face* ACTUALLY I do!!!
Mayl: Then spill the beans already!!!
Me: Are you outta your mind?!! I'm not ruining a good story!!!
Roll: I'll say then. It's...
Me: VIVI!!! Vivi: *Rushes out of a backroom and adjusts his hat.* You called, Death?!
Me: Silence spell!!!
Vivi: *Nods and looks to Roll, putting his Zeus' Hammer forward* SILENCE!!!
Roll: *Speaks the figure, then sweatdrops, holding her throat, silently screaming at Death*
Me: Good job, Viv!!! Take five, partner.
Vivi: *Nods and rushes to the buffet*
Me: Aaaaanyhow, that's it for now. Laters, people!!! ^.^
