Note from C.W. I would like to take this chance to thank everyone who reviewed my fanfic, especially Knux Rox, who gave me a paragraph long thank you note in the sixth chapter of his mystical ninja fanfic, and complemented my fanfic. These reviews were great confidence boosters for me, and convinced me to continue my fanfic. Once again, thanks everyone.

Now, on with the story.

Chapter 7

Tron's dilemma

After a horrific ride through the time stream, our group arrives back in the present. "where are we?" asked Roll still dazed from the trip. "we're in front of the flutter in the present, welcome home everyone". Roll's mother Matilda was taking a walk outside when she noticed the light from the time machine, she immediately ran back to the flutter to meet her daughter. "ROLL" she yelled as she ran toward her daughter "it's so good to see you again, it's been a month since you left I was beginning to worry about you".

She took her daughter into her arms and held her in a tight embrace "what do you mean mom, we've been gone for thousands of years" Roll said wondering if her mother was al right. " time passes differently in the shadows of time Roll" exclaimed X "what seemed like thousands of years to us, and was thousands of years to Trigger was only a month in real time". Roll looked confused "then why hasn't Megaman aged?" she asked approaching X " like I said his adventures in the past did not affect the flow of time, it was like a simulation" he responded backing away from roll until she stopped coming at him.

Trigger laughed at the situation then stopped and went up to Tron "Tron?" he asked "didn't you say you came to talk to me about something?". Tron nodded "I did" she said taking his hand "I need you're help Megaman….. my brothers, Teasel and Bomb have been kidnapped, and taken hostage by some weird looking guy on forbidden island". Trigger's eyes widened "what were you doing on forbidden island, it's called FORBIDDEN for a reason you know" he said annoyed with Tron at this point.

"The island isn't forbidden anymore, it has become one of the world's best tourist hot spots". Exclaimed tron "we were there taking a vacation and, exploring the outskirts of the island, when all of a sudden, this tall guy with long yellow hair and a red suit of armor came out of nowhere, snatched up my brothers and told me to give you a message or he would kill my brothers".

"what was the message?" asked Trigger worried for Tron's brothers. "Tell Trigger to come to the island, or ill will kill these two right where they stand" repeated Tron in an attempt to repeat the message exactly as the man said it. " I didn't know who this "Trigger" guy was so I came to ask you for help, now I know that you are Trigger" tron explained. "what made you come to me?" asked Trigger "well" started Tron "you fight very well, and plus you still owe me one for helping to rescue you from Elysium" she reminded him as she gave him a wink.

Trigger pouted for a second then closed his eyes and spoke "I guess you're right, I do owe you one so…. Ok ill help you" he said reluctantly. Tron jumped up with joy "oh thank you Megaman, thank you sooooo much" she said with glee as she gave Trigger a hug. Trigger could only stand there in surprise. Roll, however, didn't approve of Tron's display of affection. "Take you're hands off of him" she said now approaching Trigger and Tron.

"Jealous are we?" asked Tron savoring the moment. Roll took it upon herself to remove Tron from Trigger by force, she went up to Tron and gave her a hard left handed smack to the face. "how do you like them apples?" Roll asked mockingly, Tron rose to her feet again and the two girls engaged in pitched combat. A cloud of dust arose as the two angry women fought, Trigger took the opportunity to slip away silently so as not to alert them.

One hour and a savage beating later, Tron and Roll were lying on the ground, both were exhausted from the battle. Matilda stood in front of Roll waving a finger in disgust and walked into the flutter. Trigger finally emerged from his hiding place and went over to the girls. "if you two are quite finished, maybe we can get going to forbidden island" he said disgusted at the mere sight of the battle ground. The girls shook their heads and boarded the flutter. Once everyone was aboard, the ship rose into the air and they were off, unaware of the dangers that await the on the no longer forbidden island.

Meanwhile, in a lab on the other side of the world.

"so, is he in position to intercept Trigger?" asked a mysterious cloaked figure. "of course he is" responded a partially bold man sitting and a wheel chair. "I still don't understand why he has to fight Trigger first, why can't I just destroy him now?" asked the cloaked figure clenching his fist. "because" began the bold man "if you want to face him at his full power, you must remove the virus from his body first". The cloaked figure merely shrugged "so you want me to wait until Trigger knocks him out, then, remove the virus when no one is around correct?" he asked. "exactly" replied the bold man. The cloaked figure nodded then disappeared mysteriously, the man merely sat there and laughed.

Back at the flutter

Yuna, Sera and Gatz gathered their things and headed for the door of the flutter while they were still in mid air. "where on earth are you going while we are still flying" asked Trigger "we have some…. business to take care of" replied Yuna "we'll meet you at forbidden island" she said opening the door so that Gatz could jump out. Seconds later a large silver bird appeared and Yuna and Sera jumped on it's back "see you soon master Trigger" said Gatz now in his bird form as they flew away. Trigger could only wonder what they were up to, and who awaited him on forbidden island.
