Megaman arrived back at the base. Dr. Light greeted him, as well as Rush.
"Well Megaman, I can see you were succesful!"
"Arf! Arf!" barked Rush.
Megaman wiped his brow "I very nearly couldn't, it seemed like Heat Man was intent on keeping me down there till the volcano erupted." Megaman smiled "He's nothing but ashes."
Dr. Light took the helmet. "This is the most vital part to Bass. It's a good thing you got this first."
Dr. Light took it back to the lab. Then he turned to Megaman. "Megaman, it seems Zero is rampaging through different parts of Tokyo even as we speak. Even without his weapons, he is incredibly strong. I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to fight him."
Megaman nodded solemnly "I understand Doctor."
Dr. Light laid a hand on Megaman's shoulder. "Megaman, please come back alive. I have enough trouble dealing with other things to have to worry about you 24 / 7." Megaman smirked "I don't think you need to worry about me. How is Roll?" Dr. Light shrugged "I don't know. Why don't you go check on her? I need to repair this helmet.
Megaman left the lab and made his way to Roll's room. He noticed that the whole base didn't look very neat and clean. Roll wasn't doing a proper job. He entered Roll's room. She just sat the on a bed facing the wall. Her face was completely blank. She herself wasn't looking so good.
He walked over to her and tapped her shoulder. "Roll? Are you O.K.?" he asked. Roll just nodded very slightly. Megaman sat down beside her. He noticed she looked very pale. "The base isn't looking very clean, have you been neglecting your work?" Roll didn't answer. Megaman sighed. "Roll, won't you talk to me, please?" he asked. Roll looked down and blinked a little, then sighed.
"I'm sorry Megaman." she said. She hadn't been working, but she looked very weary. "I haven't been very talkative lately." Megaman patted her on the back.
"I got Bass's helmet back!" he announced. Roll should have looked pleased, but she didn't. She only looked sad "Bass will never come back. He never will."
Megaman shook his head "That might happen Roll, but his body should still be intact." Roll shook her head again "No, it won't happen."
Megaman grabbed her by the shoulders "Roll-" "NO!" cried Roll all of a sudden. She jerked away and kicked over a chair. She picked up a few things and threw them at the wall. Then she pounded the wall with her fists. "He won't! He won't!" she screamed.
Megaman quickly ran over and restrained her. She struggled, but Megaman was a fighting robot. His superior strength held her still. She burst into sobs.
Megaman hugged her. "Don't give up hope Roll! He could still come back." she sobbed into his armor. "...I- hope... your right!"
Megaman let go and turned for the door. "I have to go, Zero is attacking the city." Roll grabbed him. "Don't go! I don't want to lose you too!" she cried. Megaman patted her on the head "I'll come back, don't worry." Then he teleported out.
