Sorry that I haven't updated on this story for a while, but I got a killer case of writer's block. I own nothing, because MegaMan belongs to Capcom, while Chobits belongs to Clamp.

"Dita, I'm getting two signals."
"Two? How is that possible?"
"I don't know. One is remaining still, while the other is headed in toward the first signal. And this second signal is a lot stronger than the first."
"Let's wait for it at the first signal then. Once we finish it off, then the first should be easy."
"Okay then. Let's move."
IIIIIIIIII
"You're Freya?"
To her credit, Freya maintained her melancholy composure in the face of MegaMan's already answered question. "That is correct MegaMan. I've made a copy of myself onto this computer's hard drive so I could speak with you."
"What? Why would you want to speak with me?"
"Because you cannot be the Special Someone just for Her. You can't be with Chii."
MegaMan looked to Chii, who still lay silent on the operations table. "I'm with her right now! I'm standing right next to her! What are you talking about?"
"You cannot truly care for Chii. True, all of your responses are learned. However, those parameters are permanent. You can't change. You're only half-sentient like a Persocom. You are incomplete."
MegaMan turned from Chii, looking at the screen angrily. "I don't care what you say! So what if I can't be human. I can still protect her. I can still be there for her!"
Freya frowned. "You wish to care for her when you cannot?"
"Yes."
"Then defeat the machine that wants her. It should be on the roof soon."
"Huh?" MegaMan was about to ask Freya what she was talking about when an explosion erupted nearby.
"Those two are fighting it...?" Freya grew concerned. "I must leave now. Stop all of them. Stop them before any one of them finds Chii or myself..." With those final words, Freya faded from the screen. MegaMan returned his attention to the monitor just in time to see her face fade away.
"Wait! I needed to ask you... something..." He sighed. "She's already gone."
"MegaMan! What the heck happened out there?" Bass appeared in the room with a cookie in hand.
"One of Dr. Wily's robots is attacking. Want to double team it?"
Bass grinned. "Sounds like you actually got smarter about this stuff MegaMan. Let's do it!"
IIIIIIIIII
Dita landed a solid kick on the robot's back, but the damage wasn't nearly what it should have been. The robot, now angered, whipped at Dita with one of its vines. Said vine found Dita's stomach and sent her flying. She let out a painful cry as she impacted a cement wall, leaving a Persocom shaped imprint in the wall. While her short, athletic body could withstand a lot of punishment, this new robot was already pushing her to the limits.
"Dita, are you alright?" Dita's taller counterpart, Zima, was standing over her.
"Zima! Does this thing even have a weakness?!"
The taller Persocom shook his head. "I wish I could say that he did, but it looks like this one's out of our league."
The robot grinned deviously. "I am VineMan. I seek MegaMan. You will tell me where he is, or I will take you apart!"
"How about neither!" A deep voice echoed over the nearby buildings, followed by the appearance of Bass. "Looks like Dr. Wily is running out of good ideas. Wait, I was his ONLY good idea!"
"BASS! You, the traitor! I will kill you!" VineMan leapt at him, but a blue blast of energy sent VineMan tumbling.
"Hey Bass, it's generally not a good idea to piss off the enemy until we know how strong it is."
"Ah, shut it MegaMan."
Bass grinned as his body's orange highlights turned a fire red. He carefully aimed and fired at VineMan while shouting "Magma Cannon!" The blast missed however, as VineMan rolled to the side and began attacking with a buster of his own. Bass jumped out of the way, allowing the energy to impact where he had been moments ago. VineMan attacked again, but this time with two vines. The vines found their mark, sending Bass off the roof and into the streets blow. Fortunately for him, Treble was there to save him.
Now it was MegaMan's turn to fight. Standing atop a nearby building, he jumped down to VineMan's rooftop and let his charged buster speak for him. VineMan jumped over the attack, but his landing was severely off balance. MegaMan slid closer to VineMan and fired a series of buster shots into his arm, momentarily disabling two of his four vines but doing little real damage. VineMan attacked with his two remaining vines, but MegaMan simply back-flipped over the attack. Instead of firing his buster again, he let it charge and started to punch at VineMan.
Just as VineMan was about to bring his vines back into play, MegaMan muttered an ancient phrase. "Boot to the head!" With the phrase said, he swung his foot at VineMan's temple, sending the plant themed robot staggering backward. With his buster charged, he sent the blast directly at the still dazed robot. The energy impacted VineMan in the face, sending him sliding to the edge of the building. The last thing VineMan saw was Bass smirking at him, charged buster aimed at his head.
"Well, that was easy." MegaMan gave Bass a thumbs-up before turning to the nearby Persocoms. "So, who the heck are you two?"
Zima was the first to speak. "My name is Zima, and this is my partner Dita."
Dita stood up, brushing the dust off of her leather clothing. "We're government Persocoms, designed to hunt down specific machines that pose a threat. There's another one about six blocks away."
"Six blocks away?" Zima questioned. "Dita, that signal disappeared just after we started fighting that robot."
"WHAT?! Why didn't you tell me? Great, now we have to wait again. Come on Zima, let's get out of her." Dita jumped high into the air, landing on a nearby roof and waiting for her partner.
"Poor Dita, she didn't get to finish her mission." Zima smirked and prepared to follow her, but stopped. "By the way, I didn't catch your names. Who are you?"
MegaMan stepped forward. "I'm MegaMan, and this is my partner Bass."
"Heh, I should have known it'd be you that saved our butts back there. A contamination team will show up soon to deal with what's left of VineMan. I'd advise you not to touch him anymore, because he's got a virus in his systems. Take care now!"
With that, Zima joined Dita as she made her escape. MegaMan and Bass watched them go, what the second signal they mentioned was... Their thoughts were put off as VineMan's corpse started to move. MegaMan and Bass spun on their heels, busters aimed at the thrashed robot. It stood, headless, and raised its remaining vines to attack.
Scared beyond all reason by the robots sudden revival, the black and blue duo could only think of one thing to say before blasting it to pieces. "AAAAAAHHHH! ZOMBIE!!!!"
IIIIIIIIII
Chii opened her eyes, and was immediately blinded by the lights above the table. Her innocent amber eyes traced around the room, searching for anyone. Finding nobody, she disconnected herself from Dr. Light's computers and made her way to the kitchen. She could hear ProtoMan and Roll bickering about a cookie thief.
"Hey, I come home from a hard day's work of saving people and I can't even have a cookie?" ProtoMan was holding a cookie above his head, keeping it out of Roll's reach.
"No! If you eat cookies now, you won't be hungry for dinner! Besides, it's rude to eat in front of guests!"
Chii quietly walked in and tugged on roll's shoulder. "What are Guests?"
Roll sighed. "Guests are people who visit your house when you invite them. Currently, Mr. Minoru and Miss Yuzuki are coming over. In fact, they should be here any minute."
There was a knock at the door.
"See? I told you." Roll walked out of the kitchen to receive the guests, but yelled to ProtoMan one last time. "Put the stupid cookie away!"
"Yes MOTHER." ProtoMan yelled mockingly as he stashed the cookie under his scarf. Chii stared quizzically at ProtoMan, who stared right back at her. "What?"
"ProtoMan, what's a Mother?"

Another chapter completed, and I still have a wicked case of Writers block. Music, however, solves everything. Current track that inspires me to write: Mega Man X2- Beamsabre Beat ZERO.v2 from OCReMix. Amazing things happen when people remix old game music. until the next chapter, this is Windwingxs saying eat chocolate and review please.
