Chapter 5: Code Red: DemolitionMan on the loose!

A mysterious data stream is discovered on the outskirts of Net City and DemolitionMan has been released. Two words for both Scenarios: Big Trouble!

Having created a back door entry to Internet City, Mr. Moss has released DemolitionMan, who have now passed through the gateway. Upon entering the city, DemolitionMan begins looking around as the gateway behind him, disappears. Continuing to look around, a screen pops up behind him, with Mr. Moss appearing on it.

"You know what to do." Mr. Moss speaks, from behind DemolitionMan. "You have your orders."

"Yeah, yeah. I don't need a reminder." DemolitionMan speaks, continuing to look around.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Mr. Moss inquires. "I want you to destroy everything in sight, everything! Leave nothing standing!"

Cracking an evil grin, DemolitionMan converts his right arm into his Z cannon.

"I'm way ahead of you, doc." DemolitionMan speaks, as he begins looking around for an easy target.

"This will surely bring Megaman running and once he appears to stop you, annihilate him!" Mr. Moss demands. "I want him wiped off the face of the Internet!"

"Oh, this is gonna be fun." DemolitionMan says to himself as he aims his Z cannon at a nearby building. Continuing to hold his aim on the building, the Z cannon begins charging, and after gathering enough power, a huge purple beam fires from the cannon and comes in contact with the building, igniting it.

"That's right, destroy everything!" Mr. Moss practically yells. "Level the entire city so my empire can be built upon it's rubble!"

"I'm gonna enjoy this." DemolitionMan speaks with his grin, as he aims his cannon at another building.

Mr. Moss begins laughing as the screen he is on, disappears.

"Come out, Come out where ever you are, Megaman." DemolitionMan begins, in a chanting taunt, as he fires his attack at the next building. "Come out so you can meet your ultimate end."

Destroying yet another building, DemolitionMan continues targeting and leveling establishments around the city, in hopes of drawing Megaman out.

Outskirts of Internet City

Megaman, Roll, and Protoman are still by the mysterious data stream.

"So now what?" Megaman inquires, looking between the stream and Roll.

"Well." Protoman begins. "My only suggestion would be to have it analyzed further and figure out exactly how it formed and exactly who's behind it's mysterious appearance."

Turning from Roll and Megaman, a screen appears in front of Protoman, with Chaud appearing on it.

"Chaud, is Lan there with you?" Protoman inquires to his Net Op.

"Yes he is." Chaud answers his Navi. "Why do you ask?"

"We are going to need a further analysis to be ran on the stream." Protoman says to Chaud. "And only Dr. Hikari can run that analysis."

Chaud turns from his PET and to Lan.

"Lan, is your father at the lab today?" Chaud inquires to Lan.

"He should be." Lan answers. "Why?"

"The mysterious data stream that appeared on the outskirts of Net City is a threat and a data analysis test needs to be ran on it to see how much of a danger it is." Chaud explains.

"Alright." Lan replies. "He should be there."

"Then we have to pay the lab a visit." Chaud Speaks. "Protoman, I'm leaving you plugged in."

"Yes sir." Protoman replies, as the window in front of him disappears. Protoman, then turns back to Megaman and Roll.

"Dr. Hikari is going to run a test on the stream to further understand it's appearance." Protoman says to the Navi's. "Chaud and the others are heading over there now."

Before Megaman can respond to Protoman's statement, the city alarm sounds, indicating there is danger within the city limits.

"Lan, there's trouble." Megaman speaks to his net op. "The city's danger alarm just sounded."

"What kind of trouble?" Lan inquires to his Navi.

"I don't know for sure, but if Chaud hasn't left yet, make sure he doesn't." Megaman replies. "We are going to need his help."

"Chaud, we can't leave yet." Lan speaks, turning from his PET and to Chaud, whom is writing down the location of the stream in net city and what kind of analysis test that may need to be ran on it.

"Why?" Chaud inquires, turning to Lan.

"There is trouble in Net City." Lan answers him. "Figuring out the stream will have to wait."

Putting the pen down, Chaud grabs his PET and hit's the first button to communicate with Protoman. Protoman, then, appears on the screen.

"Protoman, what's going on?" Chaud inquires to his Navi.

"I'm not sure sir, the Net City danger alarm just sounded." Protoman reports. "We are most definitely going to check into it sir."

"Wait, what about Roll?" Megaman inquires, turning to Roll. "She can't fight in this condition."

"I'm fine Mega." Roll says to him, with a weak smile.

"Maylu, I think it maybe a good idea to jack Roll out." Lan suggests to Maylu. "That shock from the stream may have weakened her defenses."

"No, I'm fine." Roll speaks up as she stands, still holding her side. "Don't jack me out Maylu, I'm staying to help fight."

"That net Navi of yours, Maylu, is a stubborn one." Chaud comments.

"She can be." Maylu replies, with a grin.

"Roll, are you absolutely sure you want to stay and fight?" Megaman inquires to the pink Navi.

"Positive." Roll answers him. "Now, before whatever danger is in the city gets out of hand, we better check into it."

Megaman and Protoman don't argue and follows Roll towards the city.

Inner Section of Net City

DemolitionMan has leveled yet another building and is aiming at another.

"Shooting at these empty targets are becoming boring." DemolitionMan speaks, leveling another building. "I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. I need a real target, a real one such as Megaman."

"Hey, who do you think you are destroying parts of Net City like this?" A voice from behind DemolitionMan speaks, delaying his attack on another establishment. Turning around, DemolitionMan faces the owner of the voice.

"So, we finally meet at last." DemolitionMan greets to Megaman. "You must be Megaman."

"Yeah, so?" Megaman answers him in a angry tone. "And who are you?"

"Why don't we skip the introductions and get right to your demise, shall we?" DemolitionMan speaks as he aims his buster at Megaman. Megaman converts his right hand into Mega-buster.

"Your destructive reigns ends here." Megaman speaks, now aiming his buster at DemolitionMan.

"That's alright because deleting you will be much more fun then leveling empty targets." DemolitionMan as his buster begins charging.

"Protoman, take Roll to a safer location now." Megaman requests. "I don't want her getting hurt."

"No, Mega, I would rather stay and help you fight." Roll protests. "I'm not leaving you alone to fight him."

"Oh how touching." DemolitionMan begins taunting. "You should listen to your boyfriend because this can and will get messy. Definitely not a place for Navi's like you, to be."

"Roll, it's better if you were in a safer location." Protoman adds in. "This isn't a place for you to be in your condition."

"I'm not leaving Mega here to fight that Navi alone." Roll continues protesting. "I wouldn't be able forgive myself if something happens to him."

DemolitionMan decides he has had enough of Roll's bravery and turns his buster on her. Now being fully charged, the buster releases the huge purple beam that is now heading Roll and Protoman's direction.

"LOOK OUT!" Megaman yells towards Roll and Protoman. Now noticing the beam heading their way, Protoman quickly pushes himself and Roll out of the way of the attack.

"Your fight is with me, not them." Megaman speaks sharply to DemolitionMan, with anger building in his voice. "Leave them out of it!"

"Your girlfriend's useless babbling was starting to ride my nerves." DemolitionMan speaks. "Now, where were we?"

"Roll, I want you to log out now." Megaman speaks sternly to her, while keeping his vision on DemolitionMan. "I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something were to happen to you."

"Maylu, jack Roll out now." Chaud says to her.

Maylu nods and disconnects her PET cord from the Computer terminal.

"Now, you want to pick on someone?" Megaman inquires in a stern voice. "Then try picking on someone your own size."

"Make that double." Protoman speaks up. "How about a two against one."

"Two against one?" DemolitionMan speaks, as a laugh surfaces. "I guess you do have me out numbered, but no matter, I'll have the both of you wiped out in no time flat so the odds won't make a difference."

"I wouldn't be too overly confident if I were you." Protoman warns as his right hand converts to his long sword. "That can be your downfall."

"We'll just see about that." DemolitionMan speaks with an evil grin. "Be ready to be deleted."
