The Pain Of Loss Chapter 12 – The Healer and the Destroyer
OYE!!! My GOD, it's been nearly 4 months since I've even looked at this thing!!!
Megaman – I said it last chapter, I'll say it again. YOU COULD'VE FOUND TIME TO UPDATE!!!
Death - ... Snaps his fingers and watches Heavy Man crash right down on Megaman Moron. Running a web comic at the same time kinda thrashes time... Well, time to get back on the road, folks. Sorry for not updating and all.
Megaman – No you're not...
Death – YES I AM!!! Picks up Heavy Man and slams him down on Megaman again
Protoman started to pace a little bit as he stood in Beach Square. It had been over an hour now, and Roll hadn't so much as contacted him. Glyde sighed a bit, watching some child-style Navis playing on a digital beach below. He was concerned as well, but as a gentleman, he highly respected Roll's privacy, and had decided to give 2 hours before he acted out of concern. Gutsman, though, was far from Glyde's level of patience. He'd been sitting in a corner, cracking his knuckles constantly, punching one fist into the palm of the other hand. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. Gutsman stood up, hollering out and slamming his enormous fists into the square, sending fissures all about him. "DARNIT ALL!!! IT'S BEEN AN HOUR, AND WE HAVEN'T SO MUCH AS GOTTEN A MESSAGE FROM MAYL!!! I'm goin' back there!!!"
Just as Gutsman started to lumber towards the link to Beach Area 2, Protoman appeared infront of him. His helmet was off, and his eyes were narrowed into the most serious glare he'd ever given outside of battle. Gutsman just stared into his eyes as Protoman's Hero Sword once more met Gutsman's chin guard. "Step one foot into the ACDC Network and Dex will be repairing you for the rest of the Summer." Gutsman gulped nervously at the thought of being torn to shreds, then turned and moved to a nearby corner, sitting and grumbling in it. Protoman sighed, shutting his eyes as he thought to himself. 'He's right, though... It is strange how not even Mayl's contacted us on Roll's condition...'
Roll and Kali stood face to face, blinking a little bit. "So, what you're saying is, you're a part of me...?" Kali nodded, her arms crossed. A smile graced her lips as she looked Roll dead in the eyes. "Yes. But I'm a very special part of you, Roll... I'm not just your happiness, your anger, or your sorrow... I'm your desire. Your emotions over Megaman have been so strong as of late, that it gave me the energy to form my own body. Over time, that energy grew, until I could manifest and meet you here." Roll gave a nod. Something didn't add up about all this to her, though. She didn't know exactly what it was, but something just gave her a bad feeling.
Kali gently embraced Roll, shutting her eyes. "I know you're still being torn apart on the inside by Megaman's death. It's tearing me apart too... But don't worry, Roll, everything will be better soon." Roll blinked a bit, stepping back. She shook her head. "I don't understand..." Kali giggled a bit, vanishing. Roll gasped as she felt arms around her neck. Kali was hanging off her, smiling gently. "I know how you desire Megaman... You want to hear his voice, to see his face, to be able to touch him. To confess to him, and maybe something more..." Roll blushed a bit, looking to the side. Kali smiled, whispering into Roll's ear. "He can be revived, Roll..." Roll's eyes shot wide open as she heard this. She turned and stepped back, her right hand on her chest. "Megaman can be brought back to life?! But, all his data, Alpha absorbed it before he was deleted!"
Kali shook her right index finger at Roll, her head moving with it. "Roll, Roll, Roll... Can't you remember that amazing power of your's that's been awakening as of late? How you single-handedly annihilated Beastman, Flamman, AND Drillman's Navi ghosts?" Roll nodded a bit, looking down. "But, those are just new attacks. It's got nothing to do with restoration..." Kali giggled, then placed her hands on her hips. "On the contrary, it can have anything to do with restoration you wish. Think of it. What if you could convert that energy into a form of shape-shifting data? Then you could harness it for whatever you wish. Why, even your friends could use it if they wanted. Protoman might use a powered-up sword, or Gutsman may gain a bit more power behind his punches. But you, as a natural born healer. Think of all the lost Navis you could restore."
Roll lowered her head in thought, then smiled. She looked up, nodding to Kali. "You're right!!! I... I could bring Megaman back to us... And then everyone'd be happy again, and I could..." She blushed, looking down. Kali smiled gently, walking forward. "Go on to Beach Square. Your friends are waiting for you there..." Roll blinked a little bit, looking up to Kali. "How do you know?" Kali smiled gently, shaking her head. "It's a little trick... Anyhow, go on, share this with your friends. You can work together to unlock the power." Roll smiled, then shut her eyes, transporting herself to Beach Square. Kali smirked, walking forward and looking up at Megaman's face on the memorial. She started to giggle a little as she thought to herself. 'Yes, Roll... unlock your powers... I promise you, they'll be put to good use...' Kali broke out into a loud laughter, a blood red aura appearing about her body. Within seconds, she vanished.
Me - Ah, it feels wonderful to be back in the saddle again after such a long while!!!
Kali – And of course, I'm finally getting some detail in on myself.
Protoman – You mean that you're a total psycho, right?
Kali - Appears behind Protoman and cuts him clean in half
Protoman - Groans, lying and sparking from the lower half of his torso
Me – Well, whaddya know? I guess this proves it, Protoman and Zero are based off the same model robot. I've never seen a robot lethally damaged and brought back so many times. Anywho, folks, I'll be sure to update more now since it's almost Summer! Keep readin' for the next chapter! Oh, and, last minute edit, folks. Since I just wrote this on the school computer, the separators for in story and out of story aren't showing. I'll figure out what's going on with this at home tonight. Adios!
