Spoiler Summary: Chaud's thoughts after he lets Lan take Protoman when Megaman is in Nebula's control. Drabble
Spoilers for Megaman Battle Network 4 Blue and 5 Team Protoman
Eugene Chaud stared as the doors of Scilab closed. He leaned back in his chair. He couldn't do anything on the Net now.
Lan, you better not fail this mission.
Megaman had been taken by Nebula. Lan had been extremely upset, as well as worried.
I know how you feel.
When Nebula had first appeared, they had taken Protoman. Megaman had saved him.
This isn't about returning any favors.
Protoman had begged for deletion, momentarily breaking through his new Dark personality, DarkProto's, grip.
But you didn't delete him.
Now, Protoman had been ordered to keep telling Lan they might have to defeat Megaman.
But I told him specifically not to.
Megaman risked his existence to save Protoman. He went through the deepest parts of the Undernet to do so as well. Few can manage going through the entire Undernet and then facing a powerful opponent at the end.
I will not let anyone other than Protoman accompany Lan. No one else.
Gyroman and Magnetman had both been willing, and Charlie and Telsa had told him it was fine that Lan could use their Navi.
No one is strong enough. Protoman has defeated Gyroman before. He has fared very well against Magnetman before. No one is more perfect for this job.
Protoman knew, Chaud knew. They had no intention of deleting Megaman unless absolutely necessary. But…
Lan, if you lose Protoman to Nebula I will never forgive you as long as I live.
The End
