---------------------

"What?!" Megaman screamed. Rei winced. This was exactly what he wanted to avoid.

"I'm-" Rei started but Megaman cut him off.

"No, I heard you…but…how?" Megaman said, shaking his head. Rei looked down at the ground, a sad and forlorn look in his eyes.

"It…I…don't know. Somehow Dr…erm…Papa managed to convert something that would make it so I could keep some of my memories as a human." Rei tried to explain. But it's hard to explain when you yourself don't really understand what happened. Megaman's eyebrow raised.

"Do you remember World Three?" Rei was shocked. Why the heck would Megaman ask that question?

"Of course I remember them!! They ruined my life before and they're ruining it again!!" Rei yelled. Megaman now was the one shocked. It was the first time Rei had yelled. Unbidden, some tears slipped down Rei's face.

"Why didn't you tell me who you were earlier?" Megaman asked. Rei sniffed a bit.

"Because Papa told me not to. Not before we became friends. It was the same reason you never told me you were my brother before you did. Because every time you would look at me, you would see him. And…I didn't want that. You would never look at me as a friend. Only as who I once was." Rei said. Megaman grimaced. Rei had a point there. But still Megaman was hesitant.

"Are there any parts that you can't remember?" Rei winced as if he were burned.

"…yes. But you won't like that I've forgotten it…"

"What was it?" Rei gulped and braced himself, praying that Megaman wouldn't yell at him.

"It was…the very first time we met. I…I can't remember it. I can vaguely remember some of my feelings at that moment, but…nothing else…" Megaman was shocked and was hurt at the same time. How could he not remember that? Before he realized it, he had snapped at Rei.

"How could you not remember?! It was a very special time of both of our lives! How, Rei, how?!?!" Rei closed his eyes a moment and then snapped them open again. This time, the lavender eyes were filled with pain and tears.

"I don't know! It happened! How the hell was I supposed to control what happened and what didn't?! If I had any control over what had happened at all, I would have just let me die as a human! Because it seems that my life as a human was better than now! And Papa promised me…he promised me I would be better off here…Oh damn it, leave me alone Hub Hikari!!" Rei screamed as Megaman came over to support him. Megaman stopped, his eyes wide in shock. Rei let off one more sob and then logged out of the Sci-Lab server, leaving Megaman to his thoughts and how he was going to explain the break-in to Dr Hikari.

Rei sniffled and looked around. He was in the very same area he had been when he had first met Adele. 'I wonder if she's around right now?' It was then that the hairs on the back of his neck prickled with much power. He spun around to find himself face-to-face with a familiar navi in a tan cloak.

"B-Bass…" Rei stuttered and jumped backwards. Bass smirked evilly. What could he be planning?

"I see you know who I am. Only, I do not know you. Yet, I can smell the stench of humans on you. Who is your operator?" Bass demanded. Rei's eyes narrowed.

"I have no operator. I'm a lone navi." Rei said, trying to make himself not look afraid. Though inside, he was trembling like crazy. He was right in front of a very strong independent navi.

Bass looked amused.

"Really? Then why do you strut around this area of the Undernet like a human?" Rei didn't answer and Bass was thinking hard. Bass' eyes widened. "Of course! You're like that scum Adele! You used to be a human!" Rei was now steaming in anger.

"Don't you dare insult Adele-san!" Rei yelled loudly.

"Or you'll do what? Attack me?" Bass mocked. Rei only stood his ground. Bass smiled. "Well, I'll be able to delete one little human tonight…" After he said that, Bass attacked. Rei gasped as Bass lunged at him. Rei quickly dodged and searched through his data folder. He pulled out a tri-arrow and fired. Bass, unfortunately, dodged and attacked with his buster. The shots all hit Rei. Rei flew backwards and hit the wall. A good portion of his health was taken out. Rei hated to even this of this option, but he knew that this person would help him. Rei quickly wrote out an email to Megaman and sent it and barely dodged another attack.

Now Bass was getting a bit ticked off. Well, more than just a 'bit'. Bass then pulled out his sword and swiped three times. Two of the three swipes hit their mark. Rei was really hurt now. Bass then charged up his buster for the finishing attack and released the shot, but another navi intervened. Rei looked up. He saw the very familiar and welcoming sight of Adele.

"Bass, stop picking on him. He has nothing that concerns you." Adele said, leaving no room for argument. Bass' eyes narrowed.

"Fine. I'll leave you be…this time. But next time, I'll delete you for certain!" Bass cried and logged out of the Undernet server. Rei looked up at Adele, relieved for her perfect timing.

"Arigato, Adele-san!" Rei exclaimed, trying to stand up, only to fall back down in pain. Adele smiled a bit sadly and sat down next to Rei.

"What were you doing here? It's still so early. Anytime I see you, it seems like you're getting yourself into more trouble. Why were you out here?" Adele asked the younger silver-clad navi. Rei sniffed slightly, the memories from the argument with Megaman coming back to him.

"I ran away. I told my…friend…Megaman, what happened and he blew up at me. He wanted to know why I hadn't told him earlier. But I wasn't allowed to. My …creator… told me not to. Or else everyone would treat me differently." Rei tried to explain.

"You were human, right?" Adele asked, somehow knowing instantly. Rei gasped and looked up at her. "And your creator was your father as a human, correct?" Rei was flabbergasted. How did she know?

"H-how did you know?"

"Because I've been through the same thing as you." Adele said simply. Rei would have asked more, had he not right then passed out from energy loss. Adele caught him as he fell.

"Rei! Rei!" Another voice called out. Adele turned to see a blue navi, who looked very similar to Rei come running up to them. Adele recognized this navi as Megaman.

"Megaman, ne? Rei talks a lot about you." Adele stated. Megaman looked surprised and suspicious at the same time.

"Who are you?" He asked, eyeing the cd player that she had somehow managed to obtain and was strapped to her waist. Adele just sighed.

"I'm Adele. And I suppose you'll want to know what happened to your little brother. Well, Bass snuck up behind him and attacked him. It's very lucky that I came around when I did, or else he'd be deleted. Now, I suggest that you get him back to your father and get him healed or else he may not ever wake up." Adele said, put Rei in Megaman's arms and logged out. Megaman blinked in surprise and turned to the navi in his arms.

"You've got a lot of explaining to do Lan."

Muwahaha! I'm so evil for that. Next chapter is explanations so please R&R
