Chapter 13

The past will come back to haunt you

Trigger and company ran through Edin's many corridors as they searched for the central library. They twisted through many passageways, getting more and more lost with every turn. As they rounded another corner, Roll stopped running and stared at a passed door.

"Hey everyone look at this" she yelled getting everyone's attention. "What is it Roll" asked Trigger motioning for everyone to come back. They all looked at a door which read "passage to main chamber". Everyone looked at each other, "nice job Roll" said Trigger "but look what else it says". Trigger pointed to a sign under the first one which read "DANGER, security measures will attack anyone who is not an elder".

"Now what do we do?" asked Tron worriedly as she passed back and forth. "I guess we fight the security system" replied Zero as he reached for his sword. As everybody thaught of ideas, Data attempted his. "Priority command, code 01532, access to the elder system core requested by 1st class purifier model Megaman Trigger" the others stared at him, amazed by his knowledge of the system.

"What?" asked Data "I have to know this stuff so that I can help Megaman kiki". The satellite system spoke in a womanly tone of voice. "Priority command from Megaman Trigger has no authority within the bounds of the elder system, Trigger must get the approval of an elder unit to enter the core without having to overcome the safety protocols".

The group looked at each other in displeasure, "I guess we go with Zero's idea" said Roll preparing her tool box. "I don't think you should come with us Roll" said Trigger putting a hand on her shoulder, "I didn't come all this way just to turn back" replied Roll turning to meet Trigger's gaze. The group was agreed that they would all go in together. They opened the door and set off for the core.

Meanwhile, in the core.

"I see they decided to show up" said Bass to himself as he watched the group enter the core passage. "I think I'll send them a little welcome gift" he said as he pushed a blue button on a nearby console. The system began repeating a message that echoed all over Edin. "Retrieval of memory data belonging to bureaucratic model Megaman Juno was successful, revival to take place in 1 minute". Bass laughed as his plan was set into motion.

Back with the others.

The group trudged through the many hallways of the core section, defeating a few reverbots here and there. They finally reached a double door which led to a huge room, inside, they found an unexpected, and much unwanted surprise, Megaman Juno.

"Greetings Trigger" said Juno in his usual girly yet manly voice, "how nice it is to see you again". Trigger gasped with fright, "you, b.. but how?". Juno explained how his backup data was retrieved by the system at the command of Bass. "Now" started Juno "I must destroy you, in the name of the system, prepare yourself". Juno took on his combat stance and awaited Trigger to do the same.

"Megaman" began Tron "you go on ahead, I'll take care of him". Trigger shook his head, "you aren't strong enough on your own". Teasel and Bomb stood next to Tron "she wont be alone, we'll fight with her" exclaimed Teasel, "babooo" assured Bomb. Tron boarded her gustaff her combat robot and so did Teasel, Bomb just readied himself he usually fought without a robot anyway. "go on" said Tron "we can handle this". The others ran ahead as the battle between the Bonnes and Juno began.

15 minutes later.

Trigger, Roll, Zero and Data, walked down a long hallway that led to another set of double doors. "I wonder who's behind this one" said Trigger as he opened the door. On the other side, was something very strange. There stood a frog, a jellyfish, a t-rex, and a blob, all of them were mechanical.

"Are these friends of yours?" asked Zero, "they were the four guardians of the keys that unlocked the Elysian library" replied Trigger and Roll in unison. Zero reached for his sword, but was stopped by Trigger. "We'll take these guys" said Roll as she pulled out a blaster gun. "what about the core?" asked Zero, "we came here for you" replied Trigger "now, go find out about yourself".

As the battle started, Zero raced ahead toward a door which read "main core". He could hear the sounds of battle behind him, but new that it was too late to turn back.

His meeting with Bass was at hand, and soon, he would find out about his past and hopefully put an end to the system for Trigger, so that his goal would be realized as well.

"look out Bass" he thought to himself "here I come".
