Chapter 3: Rescue!
Waking up in a small cell, she found herself surrounded by what seemed to be computer systems. Trying to move, Tron found this to be nearly impossible, as her arms and legs were completely covered by metal cuffs that extended from ankle to thigh. On her arms, the metal cuffs extended from wrist to shoulder, prohibiting her any movement from any limb. Even her neck was being restrained. Tron couldn't help but to shiver slightly at the feeling of the cold metal against her neck. She began to struggle wildly against the bonds for a moment, tying to find some weakness in them. Suddenly, the entire ship was jarred slightly, causing her to shake a little. "What was that?" she wondered aloud, whispering to herself. However, the sensors within the room picked up the noise, and a somewhat small blue robotic eye, attached to a mobile, retractable pole moved over toward her. A young male voice then spoke in an unusual language, one that the captive Tron couldn't understand. The blue eye seemed to take notice of this, and a soft whirring noise could be heard.
After a few moments of whirring sounds filling the air, the robotic voice spoke up again finally. "Subject is Beta Carbon. Class C lifeform. Female. Awake and capable of processing. Elder system speech programs compensating for language changes." The voice went, to which Tron could only listen to. "What are you talking about? Let me out of here!" the purple-black haired girl exclaimed, struggling against the bonds slightly as if to emphasize her need to escape. "Struggling is futile. Beta Human lifeforms, now that the last Alpha Humans lifeforms have been lost, must be destroyed to enable recreation of Alpha Human lifeforms." The voice said once more, still utilizing the young man's style of speech.
"Beta? Alpha? What the heck? Just let me outta here! Let me go now!" She yelled at the eye, to which the blue eye backed up a little. "Carbon exhibits will to live. Is highly agitated. Administer tranquilizer to allow for diagnostic of Beta Human to begin." And with that, a small needle attached to an extendable arm-like pole slid into the dim light, and Tron began to panic. "No, let me go! Keep that thing away from... me..." She yelled in pain as the needle pressed into her arm, and then she fainted. The arm with the needle slid away, as the computer registered that the state of the human was docile and under control. Not a single drop had been administered to Tron. "Begin diagnostic of Beta Human. Search for parameters dealing with most expedient way to eradicate the Betas." The voice said tonelessly... even as it was rocked by another explosion.
Tron was having the nicest dream... and she smiled in her sleep, almost drooling at the dream which was playing out in her mind. She was in the Torture room with Mega Man, of course, and instead of the normal torturing, she was actually dancing with him. Slow circular movements took them both around the track. Though the traps weren't on, the room did seem kinda warm. Tron was resting her head on Rock's shoulder with her eyes closed, simply enjoying the warmth. There was also an emotion she was feeling, but couldn't quite explain it. She really liked Mega Man, and this dancing only made her feelings intensify. But then, Tron stepped out of Mega Man's arms, and she smiled wickedly as she pulled a surprise out from behind her- a long leather whip! Laughing maniacally, she snaps the whip toward Mega Man's armored hide, intent on torturing him as both began to run around the torture room. Back in reality, while sleeping, Tron had begun to drool a little at the thought, at which point she unconsciously wiped her mouth with a newly freed hand.

"Mistress Yuna, this unit has detected an entrance inside the reaverbot. It seems to have been caused by that Carbon's ship when it was destroyed." The white, grayish Servitor said, even as it blasted away with its forewing blasters. His counterpart, a golden Servitor beside him, did the same, even as its rider, a Purifier unit known as Mega Man Trigger, peppered the landscape of the top of the reaverbot with his own firepower. "Understood... take us in, Gaga. Take care of the edges of the hole, and let's destroy this thing." The blonde haired woman said, looking back and down to the cargo behind her that her Servitor was carrying. It was large and green... but it wasn't that large. It was simply heavy and sophisticated. 'It looked a lot like its pilot,' she thought, and wondered if it was really a suit of armor... or, perhaps, Digger armor, like what Trigger wore.
Explosions engulfed the entire back of the reaverbot. Broken or destroyed Zakoben reaverbots and turreted buster guns were in flames, either completely destroyed or slowly losing power. They littered the landscape of the back of the reaverbot, causing it to look like a desert of destruction. Jiji burst forward at Rock's urging, using his own miniature particle blaster to fire away at a line of Zakoben reaverbots. That single blast caused a domino-like effect, which in turned destroyed the Zakoben that was next to the beginning one. With a dive, both the golden Servitor and the blue Purifier unit disappeared into an obvious, gaping hole, to which Gaga and Yuna also dove into a few seconds afterward. As Gaga dropped the Gustaff Mk. III, Yuna jumped off of his back and to the solid armor plating of the deck plating. Trigger had done the same, and was checking his weapons load on the two special weapons he had with him. Jiji and Gaga took up a defensive position on either side of them, to defend their current position.
"Mega Man, we'll hold our ground here. You must go find Tron in this place. There are very few places that a human may be... so, head toward the center. Chances are, she'll be in the main medical room." Yuna said, even as she held up the wristband on her arm. It suddenly changed into a small energy weapon, complete with a palm handle and plasma muzzle above her wrist. "If you need help, just call. Jiji will be able to assist you if he can." She said, moving to stand on top of the rugged suit of power armor that was the Gustaff III. "Right." Mega Man said simply, turning to look around slowly... Deciding on the way toward the center, he nodded to himself, and then began to run off.
The way to the door had been quiet and uneventful. No reaverbots or sentry-type guards at all. However, the passageway had been getting smaller... giving him much less room to maneuver or to fight in. 'Yuna wasn't kidding... these hallways are gonna be a pain to get through!' Rock thought to himself, and he sighed a little. With a push on a green crystal-like protrusion on the door, it opened quickly, and Mega Man passed through it carefully, watching the area around him.
----
"Roll, that ship is going down. Is there not anything we can do to help them?" Sera asked, looking out the window and toward the Gesellchaft II as it descended, trying to lock onto a course toward one of the islands that were nearby. 'The only island close enough for them to land at,' Roll figured, 'was Calbania itself...' but that had been mostly lost to the ocean now, especially since that large reaverbot had escaped into the air. 'That thing seems to be heading toward Nino Island!' Roll thought, even as she looked over to Sera. "There's nothing we can do to help them, Sera. The Bonnes have survived worse though, so I'm sure they'll be fine!" she answered, smiling brightly as she began to head toward Manda Island, and away from the buster gunfire which had been threatening the Flutter not long ago.
The Flutter had been hit in several places by direct shots, Roll knew. She'd worked on this airship almost day and night when the new engine had been installed... It had enabled them to be able to get around the world much faster than before. Now, though, the engine sounded as if it was damaged. Though she couldn't see the rear of the Flutter, she imagined that it was trailing some smoke, as well as refractor exhaust. Her mind was brought back to the present as she shook her head, her thoughts returning to Rock, who was at this moment trying to save humankind once again. She couldn't believe that her own adopted brother wasn't actually human... and was, instead, a combination of machine and human. Oh, sure, it explained a few things- especially his ability to use different weapons at any time he got them, almost instinctively understanding them and how to use them. The bionic armor he'd had would seem to graft to his skin somehow, which made him able to take damage and pain and yet keep on going. Then there was Data... the little annoying monkey that for some reason in the past could only be understood by Mega Man. It had learned how to speak normally though, ever since it returned from Elysium over 6 months ago. How that happened, she had no idea, but the fact that he'd given her and Tron the technology needed to build space rockets was something that they really needed to have. She later had apologized to Data for telling him to be quiet back then, but Tron hadn't bothered.
"Mega Man, I hope you're okay..." Roll said softly, closing her eyes a little as she steered her small airship in the air. Sera glanced at her, and she silently echoed Roll's sentiments, but her thoughts extended to Jiji instead. 'Come back alive, Jiji, I don't want to lose you once more...' she thought, and closed her eyes as she remembered the moment in which Jiji had been destroyed. It had been a moment after ramming into Trigger, she knew... The Servitor's death ram, followed by its refractor core overloading and then exploding, had nearly destroyed Trigger. Only through the quick intervention of Yuna and Data had he been able to survive. Sera, however, had been enroute to Elysium, and could only watch what had happened through her Servitor's eyes thanks to their near-telepathic memory link. The link had been destroyed when Jiji had been taken offline- destroyed by his own attack run. The last thing she could remember feeling from Jiji was immense satisfaction and warmth as he had been destroyed... Giving his life to protect her. She sighed softly, and then opened her eyes to look out the window again.
----
"Master Teasel, should we abandon ship?" the whining voice asked. The Command Bridge of the Gesellchaft II was filled with Servbots that were running around, almost screaming as they knew the ship was going down. Teasel, the eldest of the Bonne family, slowly stood up from the command chair. "Quiet, all of you! Initiate Emergency plan 3! This Gesellchaft is going to survive the fall here! We just need to get to Calbania Island! Now, make ready for a crash landing! Let's do it!"
The heads of all the Kobuns in the command area turned, so that each and every one of them were looking at Teasel. Unknown to Teasel, each and every word of his commands had gone over the PA system. Each and every Kobun on the ship turned to face the command area, and collectively, uncannily, spoke at the same time. "ROGER!" all 41 Kobuns said simultaneously, causing the Gesellchaft II to shake and rattle for a moment before barely being able to level out again. Teasel, however, wasn't so lucky, as he fell to the floor plate, clutching his ears in pain. "My ears!" he cried, even as the Kobuns went about the Emergency Procedure #3.
----
Stirring slowly, Tron began to wake up within the confines of the small room. Instinctively, her hand wipes away the small amount of drool that had escaped her, unaware of the implications of just such an act. Her eyes slowly opening, she suddenly found herself wincing in pain as an intense light burned into her pupils. "Hey, cut it out! Turn off that light, will ya?" she exclaimed, closing her eyes as she managed to turn her head to the left. That simple movement caused her eyes to open again, and she tilted her head to look downwards. Her body was free of the restraints! The blue eye-like thing flared to life overhead as that same voice could be heard again. "Re-establish restraints on Female Beta. Prepare tranquilizer for another dose." It said in a commanding voice. The systems began to do their work, as the restraints slapped back into place. It was too late by then, however, as Tron had jumped off the examination 'table', and was high-tailing it toward the open hallway in the distance. "Beta carbon appears to be faster than first indications." The young-sounding voice said, even as the blue eye swiveled to watch Tron's rapidly fleeing form.
Tron couldn't help but to run. She had no idea where in this giant reaverbot she was at, and she had no idea how any of her friends were. 'They... they could all be... gone..." she muttered to herself. Finding herself outside that chamber, the dark haired girl leans up against the wall as she takes deep breaths. Glancing around the place quickly, she could only hear machinery in the distance. "Just great..." she managed, taking a deep breath again. "I'm all alone and unarmed here." With a quick glance back the way she came, she took off down the corridor, unaware of where she might be headed, but with only one thing really on her mind- Escape!
Her flight made her think of the time back on Ryship Island, where she'd piloted that little remote camera robot by remote control in order to go on Digs. She'd met several interesting people back then, she thought, as she continued along her way. Several diggers... including one that was rather clumsy, who seemed to have found a girlfriend while she and her Kobuns were digging for treasure in the mountains. "Now I know how the Kobuns felt..." she mumbled, and sighed a little as she found the corridor closing in on all sides as she continued to run. With less and less room to move around in, she realized, there wasn't much of a chance that she could dodge any of a reaverbot's attacks. Suddenly coming to a turn in the hallway, she quickly and silently peeked around the side... and then ducked back quickly as a bomb flew in her direction and bounced against the wall behind her. The bomb blew up immediately after hitting the ground, causing Tron to step back slowly. "Uh-oh..." she said, knowing that she couldn't go that way now. 'Then again, I can't go back, either.' She thought to herself, while trying to come up with a way to get past the Reaverbot.
Brilliant flashes of reddish-orange heat and light flashed against the wall, dissipating almost instantly upon contact. However, the now destroyed carcass of a Zakoben slammed into the wall and blew apart from the hits. "What the? Who's there?" Tron demanded, hiding against the wall again to wait for the person or thing that had destroyed the Reaverbot to show him/her/itself to her. The figure rounded the corner, and collided with Tron. Both people were repelled from one another thanks to the action. Tron's mind blacked out from the pain in her shoulder, and she fell limp against the floor, not even realizing who it was that had saved her from the Reaverbot.
----
Rock had been fighting Reaverbots for the last few moments, almost non-stop. The Zakoben seemed to be pouring through the corridor like water would through a sewer. A very nasty type of water, that is. One that could shoot bombs at you. Fortunately, with the help of the handy Ground Crawler on his arm, his shots easily blew away the Zakoben and their bombs before either got close to him. However, some of the bombs detonate pretty close-by, and he had been hurt a little by shrapnel from the bombs and the shells of the detonating trash can-like reaverbots. When he finally found himself at the end of the corridor and having to turn, he went at it full tilt, running quickly just in case he met another reaverbot on the way. What he hadn't expected, however, was the person that he had slammed into on his way. Getting knocked into the wall behind him, Mega Man could only shake his head to clear it. Blinking once, he looked toward the person that he had hit, and he had to gasp.
"Tron?" he gasped in surprise, getting up quickly to walk over to the fallen mechanical genius. She was out cold, he saw, and he shook his head as he leaned down to pick her up carefully. Setting her on his shoulder, Mega Man could tell the disadvantages he had now when facing reaverbots. He couldn't run as fast, and he couldn't risk blasting them with the Ground Crawler anymore. With a shrug, Mega Man crouched slightly as he waited for the hum to build up in his boots. It did, and the Jet skates hummed to life. Sounding for the most part like a buzz saw on the loose, Mega Man did an about face, and began to dash-skate back towards where Yuna, Gaga, and Jiji were waiting for him. He had a grin on his face as he carried Tron carefully, using her weight and his to shift his direction correctly, weaving in and out of corridors as he retraced his steps. This feeling of speed was the best he could do at this point... and what speed! He was flying past the Zakoben that had just entered the hallways through hidden ports in the walls, and they could only spin around to watch him leave their area of protection. Soon enough, however, he would find himself back at where he'd begun- a few hundred refractors (and several thousand zenny) richer than before, however, thanks to the now defunct Zakoben reaverbots that he had destroyed.
A few moments later, he came upon the Servitors and Yuna. Yuna ran over to Mega Man as he gently set Tron down on the floor, and she kneeled by the girl, to take her pulse and to check on her health. A moment later, she smiled slightly, and looked back up to Mega Man. "Trigger, she's just in a little bit of shock. I'll wake her up..." she said, only to be cut off by Gaga suddenly. "Mistress Yuna and Purifier Trigger! This unit has detected a huge amount of energy being built up near the core of this elder reaverbot. I must suggest we escape from this area before it is too late." He said in his worrisome-sounding voice. Yuna stood up and nodded, and then looked to Tron. "Time to wake up, Ms. Bonne! We need your help!" she exclaimed gently, reaching to her to simply shake the sleeping girl's shoulders in an effort to wake her up, to which Tron began to respond. "Did you get the number of that bus?" she asked groggily, slowly sitting up while rubbing her eyes. She blinked a few times quickly as she glanced around, only to find Mega Man leaning in front of her, his hands on his knees as he smiled at Tron. "Hey there... are you alright?" he asked, standing up in front of her slowly.
Tron's response was immediate, as she launched from her feet to hug Mega Man. Once again, he could feel his armor begin to buckle from the extreme pressure of her arms around his chest, causing him to gasp. "Mega Man! You came to save me!" she exclaimed, and then she stepped back, a thoughtful look on her face. "Why did you come to save me?" she asks, watching Mega Man. The Servitors had by now changed to their flight/attack modes. Yuna was already on top of Gaga, and Mega Man climbed aboard Jiji. Yuna was the one who spoke up next, however. "Tron, get into your armor. We need to get out of here, now!" she said, just before Gaga flew out the hole on the back of the reaverbot. Rock pointed to the Gustaff III close by and grinned. "This time, we're not fighting each other, Tron. We get to fight together!"
----
A few moments later, all five were on the back of the reaverbot. Wind rushed past them , causing Yuna's blonde hair to fly back as they looked toward the core of the craft. Suddenly, a massive series of explosions began to rock the reaverbot, causing the Gustaff III to stagger a bit as Tron fought to keep control over it. The entire deck of the reaverbot lowered a good meter or three as the entire corridor system below them was crushed under the weight. However, near the core, something... something very large emerged. Looking like a bird of some sort... an ancient bird of prey, most likely, it rose from the ashes of the destroyed level of the Elder Reaverbot. Painted completely red and silver, with a little black on its wings, it was easily 100ft in length. It had wings behind it, on its back, that gave it a wingspan of at least 300ft. It was blocking out the sun above them, which caused Tron, Yuna, and Rock to squint at the machine in order to see it. It had legs and arms like that of a humanoid robot, however. Its arms ended in mace-like objects, each of which seemed to contain some sort of weapon. The feet were actually a total of four talons, which looked to be sharp enough to easily rip almost anything to shreds.
The single eye of the reaverbot lit up. It was on the head-like part of the reaverbot, and was rather small. However, when it glowed, it became a purple color. And then, energy began to accumulate around the eye, the force visible even to the five beings watching it. With a sharp cry, and a look to the sky, it fired the purple beam at all five of them. Gaga and Jiji, with their respective cargo of Yuna and Trigger, easily dodged it. The Gustaff III, piloted by Tron Bonne, however, just barely managed to dive out of the way. Inside the robot, Tron was grinning. "Well now... He's a big 'un, isn't he?" she drawled, picking herself up quickly to start running at the reaverbot. "Attack!" she yelled, leading the charge. To either side and at a higher altitude, Jiji and Gaga began to accumulate energy in their own particle blasters to send out at the offending reaverbot. Mega Man, however, switched his special weapons as best he could while holding onto Jiji's spike. Yuna simply looked on with determination as they quickly got closer to the humanoid, bird-like reaverbot.
Two shots rang out at maximum range, to be followed seconds later by another pair of blasts and then another. The blasts, originating from Jiji and Gaga, sped toward the large reaverbot, hit the reaverbot, causing it to stall in place for but a second. The wind howled past the riders of the Servitors as they flew ever toward the Reaverbot. Now utilizing the Homing Missile launcher on his arm, Mega Man took careful aim, keeping his left arm on the spike on Jiji's back. Knowing he was out of range, thanks to the fact that the trigger won't pull on the weapon, he keeps his finger on the trigger anyway. When they reached his maximum range, it would fire automatically. Tron, however, was being careful to keep from falling. The Gustaff III, though powerful and maneuverable, was not designed for mid-air fights on the back of a giant reaverbot. With a simple motion, however, she loosed a total of four missiles from her armor, firing them off at the reaverbot. Slow at first while they acquired their target, the missiles began to speed off towards the giant reaverbot. Closing the gap between Tron and the reaverbot, the missiles slammed into the armored left leg of the reaverbot almost ineffectively.
Yuna, however, was thinking of a way to stop this madness and the giant reaverbots. All while holding onto Gaga's back for dear life, her mind was racing, trying to come up with some sort of plan or memory of how to deal with this menace. Even though she was the one who know most about the Elder system, the reaverbots that were used by it had been deactivated long ago, and even her efforts to research the Ancient reaverbots had been in vain. 'It must be a simple slug-fest, then.' She thought to herself, closing her eyes. Sometimes, the easiest solution was the best... and then she grinned, coming up with an idea. Using her mental systems to relay the information to Gaga, he then translated the information into speech loud enough for both Jiji and Mega Man Trigger. "Master Trigger and Jiji! Try to destroy that reaverbot unit's thrusters. If you can, then it may fall and destroy the core of the giant reaverbot below!" he exclaimed, all while discharging another particle beam blast at the Reaverbot, which had just begun to slowly lift its wings back. Suddenly, in a blink of an eye it seemed, its wings swept forward quickly, causing a near shockwave of wind to blast at the five beings. Yuna and Mega Man were forced to hold onto the spikes on the backs of the reaverbots firmly with both hands as the wave washed over them, and the Servitors themselves were shaking and shuddering like crazy as the wind washed over, under, and through their systems.
Tron fared better, though. She had been underneath the shockwave, and she reached the area where the Reaverbot had escaped from the back of the giant reaverbot beneath it. Grinning slightly, she turned her sights to the exposed systems there. Indeed, there was a large, cylindrical thing within the ship. It was the power core! What else could it be? And with that, she cocked the shoulder cannon on her right shoulder, and kneeled down carefully to take aim. With her right hand on the cannon, she pressed the firing button, which caused a beacon bomb to slam into the cylindrical mechanism below, imbedding itself there. Though there weren't any Kobuns around to help her out, it had a second purpose... and she curled up into a ball before unleashing another four missiles from her armor. Instead of aiming toward the reaverbot overhead, they twisted around and dove, straight down toward the red and yellow glowing cylinder mechanism below.
At the same time, however, Jiji and Gaga were unleashing their particle blasts at the reaverbot just over Tron's Gustaff. The blasts slammed directly into the thing's chestplate, causing it to glow for a moment at the impact of the superheated blasts. Another pair of particle blasts immediately followed up those two super-heated blasts, and then those were followed by a fusillade of missiles. Though small, the missiles were on target, and they were almost as devastating in firepower as the energy blasts were. And there were many more missiles being fired on the reaverbot than particle blasts. Mega Man was firing away at the reaverbot now, finally having reached maximum range for his homing missiles to be effective. His helmet had been knocked off by the near-explosive force of the tornado-like winds that the reaverbot had sent their way, and now his unruly black hair danced in the wind as he, Yuna, and the Servitors dove in at the large reaverbot. Suddenly, a complete total of eight yellow, supercharged blasts emerged from the chest area of the reaverbot, peppering the skies like an anti-aircraft gun would. More blasts begin to pepper the area as well, to which the Servitors begin to evade with sudden dives and aerial acrobatics.
Tron continued to do what she could against the Refractor core. Her missiles had impacted the thing, but had barely made a dent. Instead, she turned her plasma cannon onto the core now, and with a steady stream of firepower pouring from her left arm cannon, was relieved to see that the core was not indestructible. In fact, she could begin to see small cracks in the casing, causing refractor steam to be emitted from the cracks. "That ought to do it!" she exclaimed, grinning in satisfaction at her revenge on the system that had captured her earlier. Then, without her knowing, and without the others knowing, the Refractor steam that poured from the cracks began to intermingle with the flames of the flying reaverbot's thrusters. Tron looked up as she heard the roar of a fire take place, and she gasped as she saw the explosion. A mid-air explosion had occurred, and was still happening as she began to run away from the core quickly.
From Mega Man, Yuna, Jiji and Gaga's points of view, it seemed almost as if the reaverbot had spontaneously combusted. Its entire body was covered with fire. The pepper blasts had stopped, leaving the Servitors, as well as Rock and Yuna, time to watch the proceedings. Mega Man noticed the Gustaff running away, and with a single glance back toward the now-falling bird-of-prey type reaverbot, began to urge Jiji to fly down to pick her up. "Jiji, Tron's gonna get caught by the explosions! We gotta go save her!" With a nod in agreement from Jiji, they dove down, even as the falling reaverbot slammed down and into the even larger flying reaverbot. The bird-like reaverbot exploded immediately, which set off numerous explosions within the giant reaverbot's refractor core. These explosions set off explosions that seemed to emanate from the core in rippling waves to new explosions that threatened to tear the elder, giant reaverbot apart. Reaching the edge of the giant reaverbot's back, Tron looked around quickly for somewhere to go. She'd recognized the danger earlier on. "Uh oh... not good." She said to herself, and then she sighed. She'd helped destroy this thing... but, there was nothing to help her now. With that, she gave a jump off of the reaverbot's back, and she closed her eyes as she prepared for the long drop to the ocean below.
She opened her eyes as she felt a thud, and then could feel herself being lifted instead of falling. "What?!" she exclaimed in disbelief, and she opened the hatch on the back of the Gustaff III to see what the heck had happened. To her surprise (and relief), she found Jiji and Mega Man looking at her. "Tron, climb aboard! Jiji can't carry the Gustaff and two people at the same time! We'll drop it in the direction of Calbania, though, so we can get it later!" he yelled down, the rushing air making it impossible to otherwise talk to her. With an enthusiastic grin, she scrambled up the Gustaff's back, up Jiji's leg, and then onto Jiji's back with help from Rock. "Thanks! But this doesn't mean that I like you!" she exclaimed, grinning mischievously at Mega Man as she grabbed hold of the spike on Jiji's back as well. The both felt a shift of weight as Jiji dropped the Gustaff III in the general direction of Calbania Island... well, what was left of it, at least. Rock just shook his head and smiled at that, asking Jiji to turn around to watch the large reaverbot begin its descent to the ocean, flames and smoke spewing from all along its back and wings.
"Wow... we did that?" Tron asked quietly, surprised at the amount of damage that they'd managed to inflict upon the thing after all. Mega Man simply nodded, and he looked upon the damage he had helped to inflict on the reaverbot. There was a sense of sadness in his eyes as he gazed upon his handiwork. Instead, he sighed softly, and then looked to his left, where Yuna and Gaga were hovering beside them now. "It's not over yet, Trigger! There's still lots to do! Are you up for it?" Yuna yelled over to him, smiling softly. Rock looked over to Yuna, and grinned slightly, before giving a slow nod in return. "Let's do it." He says quietly, unknowingly copying one of Teasel's favorite phrases.
Waking up in a small cell, she found herself surrounded by what seemed to be computer systems. Trying to move, Tron found this to be nearly impossible, as her arms and legs were completely covered by metal cuffs that extended from ankle to thigh. On her arms, the metal cuffs extended from wrist to shoulder, prohibiting her any movement from any limb. Even her neck was being restrained. Tron couldn't help but to shiver slightly at the feeling of the cold metal against her neck. She began to struggle wildly against the bonds for a moment, tying to find some weakness in them. Suddenly, the entire ship was jarred slightly, causing her to shake a little. "What was that?" she wondered aloud, whispering to herself. However, the sensors within the room picked up the noise, and a somewhat small blue robotic eye, attached to a mobile, retractable pole moved over toward her. A young male voice then spoke in an unusual language, one that the captive Tron couldn't understand. The blue eye seemed to take notice of this, and a soft whirring noise could be heard.
After a few moments of whirring sounds filling the air, the robotic voice spoke up again finally. "Subject is Beta Carbon. Class C lifeform. Female. Awake and capable of processing. Elder system speech programs compensating for language changes." The voice went, to which Tron could only listen to. "What are you talking about? Let me out of here!" the purple-black haired girl exclaimed, struggling against the bonds slightly as if to emphasize her need to escape. "Struggling is futile. Beta Human lifeforms, now that the last Alpha Humans lifeforms have been lost, must be destroyed to enable recreation of Alpha Human lifeforms." The voice said once more, still utilizing the young man's style of speech.
"Beta? Alpha? What the heck? Just let me outta here! Let me go now!" She yelled at the eye, to which the blue eye backed up a little. "Carbon exhibits will to live. Is highly agitated. Administer tranquilizer to allow for diagnostic of Beta Human to begin." And with that, a small needle attached to an extendable arm-like pole slid into the dim light, and Tron began to panic. "No, let me go! Keep that thing away from... me..." She yelled in pain as the needle pressed into her arm, and then she fainted. The arm with the needle slid away, as the computer registered that the state of the human was docile and under control. Not a single drop had been administered to Tron. "Begin diagnostic of Beta Human. Search for parameters dealing with most expedient way to eradicate the Betas." The voice said tonelessly... even as it was rocked by another explosion.
Tron was having the nicest dream... and she smiled in her sleep, almost drooling at the dream which was playing out in her mind. She was in the Torture room with Mega Man, of course, and instead of the normal torturing, she was actually dancing with him. Slow circular movements took them both around the track. Though the traps weren't on, the room did seem kinda warm. Tron was resting her head on Rock's shoulder with her eyes closed, simply enjoying the warmth. There was also an emotion she was feeling, but couldn't quite explain it. She really liked Mega Man, and this dancing only made her feelings intensify. But then, Tron stepped out of Mega Man's arms, and she smiled wickedly as she pulled a surprise out from behind her- a long leather whip! Laughing maniacally, she snaps the whip toward Mega Man's armored hide, intent on torturing him as both began to run around the torture room. Back in reality, while sleeping, Tron had begun to drool a little at the thought, at which point she unconsciously wiped her mouth with a newly freed hand.

"Mistress Yuna, this unit has detected an entrance inside the reaverbot. It seems to have been caused by that Carbon's ship when it was destroyed." The white, grayish Servitor said, even as it blasted away with its forewing blasters. His counterpart, a golden Servitor beside him, did the same, even as its rider, a Purifier unit known as Mega Man Trigger, peppered the landscape of the top of the reaverbot with his own firepower. "Understood... take us in, Gaga. Take care of the edges of the hole, and let's destroy this thing." The blonde haired woman said, looking back and down to the cargo behind her that her Servitor was carrying. It was large and green... but it wasn't that large. It was simply heavy and sophisticated. 'It looked a lot like its pilot,' she thought, and wondered if it was really a suit of armor... or, perhaps, Digger armor, like what Trigger wore.
Explosions engulfed the entire back of the reaverbot. Broken or destroyed Zakoben reaverbots and turreted buster guns were in flames, either completely destroyed or slowly losing power. They littered the landscape of the back of the reaverbot, causing it to look like a desert of destruction. Jiji burst forward at Rock's urging, using his own miniature particle blaster to fire away at a line of Zakoben reaverbots. That single blast caused a domino-like effect, which in turned destroyed the Zakoben that was next to the beginning one. With a dive, both the golden Servitor and the blue Purifier unit disappeared into an obvious, gaping hole, to which Gaga and Yuna also dove into a few seconds afterward. As Gaga dropped the Gustaff Mk. III, Yuna jumped off of his back and to the solid armor plating of the deck plating. Trigger had done the same, and was checking his weapons load on the two special weapons he had with him. Jiji and Gaga took up a defensive position on either side of them, to defend their current position.
"Mega Man, we'll hold our ground here. You must go find Tron in this place. There are very few places that a human may be... so, head toward the center. Chances are, she'll be in the main medical room." Yuna said, even as she held up the wristband on her arm. It suddenly changed into a small energy weapon, complete with a palm handle and plasma muzzle above her wrist. "If you need help, just call. Jiji will be able to assist you if he can." She said, moving to stand on top of the rugged suit of power armor that was the Gustaff III. "Right." Mega Man said simply, turning to look around slowly... Deciding on the way toward the center, he nodded to himself, and then began to run off.
The way to the door had been quiet and uneventful. No reaverbots or sentry-type guards at all. However, the passageway had been getting smaller... giving him much less room to maneuver or to fight in. 'Yuna wasn't kidding... these hallways are gonna be a pain to get through!' Rock thought to himself, and he sighed a little. With a push on a green crystal-like protrusion on the door, it opened quickly, and Mega Man passed through it carefully, watching the area around him.

"Roll, that ship is going down. Is there not anything we can do to help them?" Sera asked, looking out the window and toward the Gesellchaft II as it descended, trying to lock onto a course toward one of the islands that were nearby. 'The only island close enough for them to land at,' Roll figured, 'was Calbania itself...' but that had been mostly lost to the ocean now, especially since that large reaverbot had escaped into the air. 'That thing seems to be heading toward Nino Island!' Roll thought, even as she looked over to Sera. "There's nothing we can do to help them, Sera. The Bonnes have survived worse though, so I'm sure they'll be fine!" she answered, smiling brightly as she began to head toward Manda Island, and away from the buster gunfire which had been threatening the Flutter not long ago.
The Flutter had been hit in several places by direct shots, Roll knew. She'd worked on this airship almost day and night when the new engine had been installed... It had enabled them to be able to get around the world much faster than before. Now, though, the engine sounded as if it was damaged. Though she couldn't see the rear of the Flutter, she imagined that it was trailing some smoke, as well as refractor exhaust. Her mind was brought back to the present as she shook her head, her thoughts returning to Rock, who was at this moment trying to save humankind once again. She couldn't believe that her own adopted brother wasn't actually human... and was, instead, a combination of machine and human. Oh, sure, it explained a few things- especially his ability to use different weapons at any time he got them, almost instinctively understanding them and how to use them. The bionic armor he'd had would seem to graft to his skin somehow, which made him able to take damage and pain and yet keep on going. Then there was Data... the little annoying monkey that for some reason in the past could only be understood by Mega Man. It had learned how to speak normally though, ever since it returned from Elysium over 6 months ago. How that happened, she had no idea, but the fact that he'd given her and Tron the technology needed to build space rockets was something that they really needed to have. She later had apologized to Data for telling him to be quiet back then, but Tron hadn't bothered.
"Mega Man, I hope you're okay..." Roll said softly, closing her eyes a little as she steered her small airship in the air. Sera glanced at her, and she silently echoed Roll's sentiments, but her thoughts extended to Jiji instead. 'Come back alive, Jiji, I don't want to lose you once more...' she thought, and closed her eyes as she remembered the moment in which Jiji had been destroyed. It had been a moment after ramming into Trigger, she knew... The Servitor's death ram, followed by its refractor core overloading and then exploding, had nearly destroyed Trigger. Only through the quick intervention of Yuna and Data had he been able to survive. Sera, however, had been enroute to Elysium, and could only watch what had happened through her Servitor's eyes thanks to their near-telepathic memory link. The link had been destroyed when Jiji had been taken offline- destroyed by his own attack run. The last thing she could remember feeling from Jiji was immense satisfaction and warmth as he had been destroyed... Giving his life to protect her. She sighed softly, and then opened her eyes to look out the window again.

"Master Teasel, should we abandon ship?" the whining voice asked. The Command Bridge of the Gesellchaft II was filled with Servbots that were running around, almost screaming as they knew the ship was going down. Teasel, the eldest of the Bonne family, slowly stood up from the command chair. "Quiet, all of you! Initiate Emergency plan 3! This Gesellchaft is going to survive the fall here! We just need to get to Calbania Island! Now, make ready for a crash landing! Let's do it!"
The heads of all the Kobuns in the command area turned, so that each and every one of them were looking at Teasel. Unknown to Teasel, each and every word of his commands had gone over the PA system. Each and every Kobun on the ship turned to face the command area, and collectively, uncannily, spoke at the same time. "ROGER!" all 41 Kobuns said simultaneously, causing the Gesellchaft II to shake and rattle for a moment before barely being able to level out again. Teasel, however, wasn't so lucky, as he fell to the floor plate, clutching his ears in pain. "My ears!" he cried, even as the Kobuns went about the Emergency Procedure #3.
----
Stirring slowly, Tron began to wake up within the confines of the small room. Instinctively, her hand wipes away the small amount of drool that had escaped her, unaware of the implications of just such an act. Her eyes slowly opening, she suddenly found herself wincing in pain as an intense light burned into her pupils. "Hey, cut it out! Turn off that light, will ya?" she exclaimed, closing her eyes as she managed to turn her head to the left. That simple movement caused her eyes to open again, and she tilted her head to look downwards. Her body was free of the restraints! The blue eye-like thing flared to life overhead as that same voice could be heard again. "Re-establish restraints on Female Beta. Prepare tranquilizer for another dose." It said in a commanding voice. The systems began to do their work, as the restraints slapped back into place. It was too late by then, however, as Tron had jumped off the examination 'table', and was high-tailing it toward the open hallway in the distance. "Beta carbon appears to be faster than first indications." The young-sounding voice said, even as the blue eye swiveled to watch Tron's rapidly fleeing form.
Tron couldn't help but to run. She had no idea where in this giant reaverbot she was at, and she had no idea how any of her friends were. 'They... they could all be... gone..." she muttered to herself. Finding herself outside that chamber, the dark haired girl leans up against the wall as she takes deep breaths. Glancing around the place quickly, she could only hear machinery in the distance. "Just great..." she managed, taking a deep breath again. "I'm all alone and unarmed here." With a quick glance back the way she came, she took off down the corridor, unaware of where she might be headed, but with only one thing really on her mind- Escape!
Her flight made her think of the time back on Ryship Island, where she'd piloted that little remote camera robot by remote control in order to go on Digs. She'd met several interesting people back then, she thought, as she continued along her way. Several diggers... including one that was rather clumsy, who seemed to have found a girlfriend while she and her Kobuns were digging for treasure in the mountains. "Now I know how the Kobuns felt..." she mumbled, and sighed a little as she found the corridor closing in on all sides as she continued to run. With less and less room to move around in, she realized, there wasn't much of a chance that she could dodge any of a reaverbot's attacks. Suddenly coming to a turn in the hallway, she quickly and silently peeked around the side... and then ducked back quickly as a bomb flew in her direction and bounced against the wall behind her. The bomb blew up immediately after hitting the ground, causing Tron to step back slowly. "Uh-oh..." she said, knowing that she couldn't go that way now. 'Then again, I can't go back, either.' She thought to herself, while trying to come up with a way to get past the Reaverbot.
Brilliant flashes of reddish-orange heat and light flashed against the wall, dissipating almost instantly upon contact. However, the now destroyed carcass of a Zakoben slammed into the wall and blew apart from the hits. "What the? Who's there?" Tron demanded, hiding against the wall again to wait for the person or thing that had destroyed the Reaverbot to show him/her/itself to her. The figure rounded the corner, and collided with Tron. Both people were repelled from one another thanks to the action. Tron's mind blacked out from the pain in her shoulder, and she fell limp against the floor, not even realizing who it was that had saved her from the Reaverbot.
----
Rock had been fighting Reaverbots for the last few moments, almost non-stop. The Zakoben seemed to be pouring through the corridor like water would through a sewer. A very nasty type of water, that is. One that could shoot bombs at you. Fortunately, with the help of the handy Ground Crawler on his arm, his shots easily blew away the Zakoben and their bombs before either got close to him. However, some of the bombs detonate pretty close-by, and he had been hurt a little by shrapnel from the bombs and the shells of the detonating trash can-like reaverbots. When he finally found himself at the end of the corridor and having to turn, he went at it full tilt, running quickly just in case he met another reaverbot on the way. What he hadn't expected, however, was the person that he had slammed into on his way. Getting knocked into the wall behind him, Mega Man could only shake his head to clear it. Blinking once, he looked toward the person that he had hit, and he had to gasp.
"Tron?" he gasped in surprise, getting up quickly to walk over to the fallen mechanical genius. She was out cold, he saw, and he shook his head as he leaned down to pick her up carefully. Setting her on his shoulder, Mega Man could tell the disadvantages he had now when facing reaverbots. He couldn't run as fast, and he couldn't risk blasting them with the Ground Crawler anymore. With a shrug, Mega Man crouched slightly as he waited for the hum to build up in his boots. It did, and the Jet skates hummed to life. Sounding for the most part like a buzz saw on the loose, Mega Man did an about face, and began to dash-skate back towards where Yuna, Gaga, and Jiji were waiting for him. He had a grin on his face as he carried Tron carefully, using her weight and his to shift his direction correctly, weaving in and out of corridors as he retraced his steps. This feeling of speed was the best he could do at this point... and what speed! He was flying past the Zakoben that had just entered the hallways through hidden ports in the walls, and they could only spin around to watch him leave their area of protection. Soon enough, however, he would find himself back at where he'd begun- a few hundred refractors (and several thousand zenny) richer than before, however, thanks to the now defunct Zakoben reaverbots that he had destroyed.
A few moments later, he came upon the Servitors and Yuna. Yuna ran over to Mega Man as he gently set Tron down on the floor, and she kneeled by the girl, to take her pulse and to check on her health. A moment later, she smiled slightly, and looked back up to Mega Man. "Trigger, she's just in a little bit of shock. I'll wake her up..." she said, only to be cut off by Gaga suddenly. "Mistress Yuna and Purifier Trigger! This unit has detected a huge amount of energy being built up near the core of this elder reaverbot. I must suggest we escape from this area before it is too late." He said in his worrisome-sounding voice. Yuna stood up and nodded, and then looked to Tron. "Time to wake up, Ms. Bonne! We need your help!" she exclaimed gently, reaching to her to simply shake the sleeping girl's shoulders in an effort to wake her up, to which Tron began to respond. "Did you get the number of that bus?" she asked groggily, slowly sitting up while rubbing her eyes. She blinked a few times quickly as she glanced around, only to find Mega Man leaning in front of her, his hands on his knees as he smiled at Tron. "Hey there... are you alright?" he asked, standing up in front of her slowly.
Tron's response was immediate, as she launched from her feet to hug Mega Man. Once again, he could feel his armor begin to buckle from the extreme pressure of her arms around his chest, causing him to gasp. "Mega Man! You came to save me!" she exclaimed, and then she stepped back, a thoughtful look on her face. "Why did you come to save me?" she asks, watching Mega Man. The Servitors had by now changed to their flight/attack modes. Yuna was already on top of Gaga, and Mega Man climbed aboard Jiji. Yuna was the one who spoke up next, however. "Tron, get into your armor. We need to get out of here, now!" she said, just before Gaga flew out the hole on the back of the reaverbot. Rock pointed to the Gustaff III close by and grinned. "This time, we're not fighting each other, Tron. We get to fight together!"
----
A few moments later, all five were on the back of the reaverbot. Wind rushed past them , causing Yuna's blonde hair to fly back as they looked toward the core of the craft. Suddenly, a massive series of explosions began to rock the reaverbot, causing the Gustaff III to stagger a bit as Tron fought to keep control over it. The entire deck of the reaverbot lowered a good meter or three as the entire corridor system below them was crushed under the weight. However, near the core, something... something very large emerged. Looking like a bird of some sort... an ancient bird of prey, most likely, it rose from the ashes of the destroyed level of the Elder Reaverbot. Painted completely red and silver, with a little black on its wings, it was easily 100ft in length. It had wings behind it, on its back, that gave it a wingspan of at least 300ft. It was blocking out the sun above them, which caused Tron, Yuna, and Rock to squint at the machine in order to see it. It had legs and arms like that of a humanoid robot, however. Its arms ended in mace-like objects, each of which seemed to contain some sort of weapon. The feet were actually a total of four talons, which looked to be sharp enough to easily rip almost anything to shreds.
The single eye of the reaverbot lit up. It was on the head-like part of the reaverbot, and was rather small. However, when it glowed, it became a purple color. And then, energy began to accumulate around the eye, the force visible even to the five beings watching it. With a sharp cry, and a look to the sky, it fired the purple beam at all five of them. Gaga and Jiji, with their respective cargo of Yuna and Trigger, easily dodged it. The Gustaff III, piloted by Tron Bonne, however, just barely managed to dive out of the way. Inside the robot, Tron was grinning. "Well now... He's a big 'un, isn't he?" she drawled, picking herself up quickly to start running at the reaverbot. "Attack!" she yelled, leading the charge. To either side and at a higher altitude, Jiji and Gaga began to accumulate energy in their own particle blasters to send out at the offending reaverbot. Mega Man, however, switched his special weapons as best he could while holding onto Jiji's spike. Yuna simply looked on with determination as they quickly got closer to the humanoid, bird-like reaverbot.
Two shots rang out at maximum range, to be followed seconds later by another pair of blasts and then another. The blasts, originating from Jiji and Gaga, sped toward the large reaverbot, hit the reaverbot, causing it to stall in place for but a second. The wind howled past the riders of the Servitors as they flew ever toward the Reaverbot. Now utilizing the Homing Missile launcher on his arm, Mega Man took careful aim, keeping his left arm on the spike on Jiji's back. Knowing he was out of range, thanks to the fact that the trigger won't pull on the weapon, he keeps his finger on the trigger anyway. When they reached his maximum range, it would fire automatically. Tron, however, was being careful to keep from falling. The Gustaff III, though powerful and maneuverable, was not designed for mid-air fights on the back of a giant reaverbot. With a simple motion, however, she loosed a total of four missiles from her armor, firing them off at the reaverbot. Slow at first while they acquired their target, the missiles began to speed off towards the giant reaverbot. Closing the gap between Tron and the reaverbot, the missiles slammed into the armored left leg of the reaverbot almost ineffectively.
Yuna, however, was thinking of a way to stop this madness and the giant reaverbots. All while holding onto Gaga's back for dear life, her mind was racing, trying to come up with some sort of plan or memory of how to deal with this menace. Even though she was the one who know most about the Elder system, the reaverbots that were used by it had been deactivated long ago, and even her efforts to research the Ancient reaverbots had been in vain. 'It must be a simple slug-fest, then.' She thought to herself, closing her eyes. Sometimes, the easiest solution was the best... and then she grinned, coming up with an idea. Using her mental systems to relay the information to Gaga, he then translated the information into speech loud enough for both Jiji and Mega Man Trigger. "Master Trigger and Jiji! Try to destroy that reaverbot unit's thrusters. If you can, then it may fall and destroy the core of the giant reaverbot below!" he exclaimed, all while discharging another particle beam blast at the Reaverbot, which had just begun to slowly lift its wings back. Suddenly, in a blink of an eye it seemed, its wings swept forward quickly, causing a near shockwave of wind to blast at the five beings. Yuna and Mega Man were forced to hold onto the spikes on the backs of the reaverbots firmly with both hands as the wave washed over them, and the Servitors themselves were shaking and shuddering like crazy as the wind washed over, under, and through their systems.
Tron fared better, though. She had been underneath the shockwave, and she reached the area where the Reaverbot had escaped from the back of the giant reaverbot beneath it. Grinning slightly, she turned her sights to the exposed systems there. Indeed, there was a large, cylindrical thing within the ship. It was the power core! What else could it be? And with that, she cocked the shoulder cannon on her right shoulder, and kneeled down carefully to take aim. With her right hand on the cannon, she pressed the firing button, which caused a beacon bomb to slam into the cylindrical mechanism below, imbedding itself there. Though there weren't any Kobuns around to help her out, it had a second purpose... and she curled up into a ball before unleashing another four missiles from her armor. Instead of aiming toward the reaverbot overhead, they twisted around and dove, straight down toward the red and yellow glowing cylinder mechanism below.
At the same time, however, Jiji and Gaga were unleashing their particle blasts at the reaverbot just over Tron's Gustaff. The blasts slammed directly into the thing's chestplate, causing it to glow for a moment at the impact of the superheated blasts. Another pair of particle blasts immediately followed up those two super-heated blasts, and then those were followed by a fusillade of missiles. Though small, the missiles were on target, and they were almost as devastating in firepower as the energy blasts were. And there were many more missiles being fired on the reaverbot than particle blasts. Mega Man was firing away at the reaverbot now, finally having reached maximum range for his homing missiles to be effective. His helmet had been knocked off by the near-explosive force of the tornado-like winds that the reaverbot had sent their way, and now his unruly black hair danced in the wind as he, Yuna, and the Servitors dove in at the large reaverbot. Suddenly, a complete total of eight yellow, supercharged blasts emerged from the chest area of the reaverbot, peppering the skies like an anti-aircraft gun would. More blasts begin to pepper the area as well, to which the Servitors begin to evade with sudden dives and aerial acrobatics.
Tron continued to do what she could against the Refractor core. Her missiles had impacted the thing, but had barely made a dent. Instead, she turned her plasma cannon onto the core now, and with a steady stream of firepower pouring from her left arm cannon, was relieved to see that the core was not indestructible. In fact, she could begin to see small cracks in the casing, causing refractor steam to be emitted from the cracks. "That ought to do it!" she exclaimed, grinning in satisfaction at her revenge on the system that had captured her earlier. Then, without her knowing, and without the others knowing, the Refractor steam that poured from the cracks began to intermingle with the flames of the flying reaverbot's thrusters. Tron looked up as she heard the roar of a fire take place, and she gasped as she saw the explosion. A mid-air explosion had occurred, and was still happening as she began to run away from the core quickly.
From Mega Man, Yuna, Jiji and Gaga's points of view, it seemed almost as if the reaverbot had spontaneously combusted. Its entire body was covered with fire. The pepper blasts had stopped, leaving the Servitors, as well as Rock and Yuna, time to watch the proceedings. Mega Man noticed the Gustaff running away, and with a single glance back toward the now-falling bird-of-prey type reaverbot, began to urge Jiji to fly down to pick her up. "Jiji, Tron's gonna get caught by the explosions! We gotta go save her!" With a nod in agreement from Jiji, they dove down, even as the falling reaverbot slammed down and into the even larger flying reaverbot. The bird-like reaverbot exploded immediately, which set off numerous explosions within the giant reaverbot's refractor core. These explosions set off explosions that seemed to emanate from the core in rippling waves to new explosions that threatened to tear the elder, giant reaverbot apart. Reaching the edge of the giant reaverbot's back, Tron looked around quickly for somewhere to go. She'd recognized the danger earlier on. "Uh oh... not good." She said to herself, and then she sighed. She'd helped destroy this thing... but, there was nothing to help her now. With that, she gave a jump off of the reaverbot's back, and she closed her eyes as she prepared for the long drop to the ocean below.
She opened her eyes as she felt a thud, and then could feel herself being lifted instead of falling. "What?!" she exclaimed in disbelief, and she opened the hatch on the back of the Gustaff III to see what the heck had happened. To her surprise (and relief), she found Jiji and Mega Man looking at her. "Tron, climb aboard! Jiji can't carry the Gustaff and two people at the same time! We'll drop it in the direction of Calbania, though, so we can get it later!" he yelled down, the rushing air making it impossible to otherwise talk to her. With an enthusiastic grin, she scrambled up the Gustaff's back, up Jiji's leg, and then onto Jiji's back with help from Rock. "Thanks! But this doesn't mean that I like you!" she exclaimed, grinning mischievously at Mega Man as she grabbed hold of the spike on Jiji's back as well. The both felt a shift of weight as Jiji dropped the Gustaff III in the general direction of Calbania Island... well, what was left of it, at least. Rock just shook his head and smiled at that, asking Jiji to turn around to watch the large reaverbot begin its descent to the ocean, flames and smoke spewing from all along its back and wings.
"Wow... we did that?" Tron asked quietly, surprised at the amount of damage that they'd managed to inflict upon the thing after all. Mega Man simply nodded, and he looked upon the damage he had helped to inflict on the reaverbot. There was a sense of sadness in his eyes as he gazed upon his handiwork. Instead, he sighed softly, and then looked to his left, where Yuna and Gaga were hovering beside them now. "It's not over yet, Trigger! There's still lots to do! Are you up for it?" Yuna yelled over to him, smiling softly. Rock looked over to Yuna, and grinned slightly, before giving a slow nod in return. "Let's do it." He says quietly, unknowingly copying one of Teasel's favorite phrases.
