I don't own MegaMan, only Trent and StrikeMan.

Please Review if there anything good or bad about this story.

………………………………………………

Trent climbed up the stairs of Scilabs. He had to find the prefect place to jack in StrikeMan. He didn't want to be discovered breaking to the Scilads computers, so where could they go to get into the systems. So, there was only one place; his dad's office.

It wasn't very hard to get inside the building. Since he had visited his dad here whenever he was actually in town, the security guards knew him. So it was easy to convince them that he needed something from his father's office. Now, he just needed to find out where they were keeping Project Power-Up. That shouldn't be too hard.

Coming up to his father office, he would be able to do his work without drawing attention to his actives until they realized it was too late. Opening the door, Trent walked over and sat down at his father's large desk and turned on his computer.

"Ready to get to work, StrikeMan?" asked Trent.

"Just get the Dark Chip ready when we need it, I think Blueboy has the possible of showing up," respond StrikeMan.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," chuckle Trent, "We need something bigger going on while we get the info, if you catch my drift."

"Yeah, I think I do. I can handle that," said StrikeMan as he disappeared into the Scilab's systems.

He looked around the area. StrikeMan knew that there had to be something to kept Blue Boy and his partner busy while he and Trent did the next part. The security NetNavis just looked at him as he walked. They all knew who he was and it wasn't common to see him here. Yet, they all felt something different about him this time around.

"See anything?" asked Trent.

"Nothing yet," whisper StrikeMan then as he came up to something, "Ok, strike that."

"What did you find?" asked Trent.

"Our ticket to a distraction," chuckle StrikeMan, "Get ready to lock the office and heard some shouting,"

There he was standing in front of one of the test room control panels. There were a couple people in side there. So, everyone would be more focus on getting them out then what he was doing. Quickly, he gained access to the controls and shut the doors down. Now, they were trapped inside the room. The finishing part was closing all the vents in the room, cutting off their oxygen supplies. That way, they could put a little more pressure on them to get the scientists out of there, before they would come and deal with them.

"Great work, StrikeMan," said Trent, "That will work perfectly."

Just as StrikeMan was going to get back to work, he found himself surrounded by ten security NetNavis. They all didn't seem to be too please with the stunt that StrikeMan had just pulled on their watch.

"Put your hands in the air, StrikeMan and come with us," one of them ordered him to do with their weapons pointed right at him.

"Fine," complied StrikeMan as he raised his arms into the air. A sinister grin spread behind his facemask. The blades started to glow as he angled them towards the security NetNavis, "Strike Slash!"

They all with flying then logged out. StrikeMan just chuckle as he continued on his way again. Did they really think that they could beat him? He had been fighting them for years. He was too strong for them to handle when he used his Strike Slash at full strength.

"Problems?" asked Trent.

"Just had to deal with some minor annoyances," said StrikeMan as he cracked his knuckles, "Just worry about the job."

"Well, I'm getting fed from hallway camera by the test lab you fixed, everyone heading towards there to help get the door open," answer Trent, "They are bound to find out we are the one that cause it."

"Then they really funs starts,' chuckle StrikeMan as he came up to where the Project Power-Up information was being kept.

Quickly, he tried to hack his way into the system, but the stupid thing would allow him direct access to the information. Growling in frustration, StrikeMan slashed the machine to bits. The only way they were going to get at, it would be in the real world. Of course, there was only one way to do that.

"Trent, I can't get in, I need to get into the real world," answer StrikeMan.

"That a good thing too," chuckle Trent, as he looked at the video feed.

"How so?"

"Our little playmate has come back, and he brought a friend," said Trent as he saw that Lan and Maylu had show up on the scene. He saw that both had jack in their NetNavis into the systems and one of them looked like the blue NetNavi they fought last night, so it didn't take brains to figure out that they were able to cross-fused as well. Trent grin as his teeth flashed in the neon lights as he ready the battle chips in his hand.

"Ok, ready for round two?" asked Trent as he jack –out StrikeMan.

"Hey, if we can get more of those Dark Chips, I am ready to go for round 381," said StrikeMan.

Trent laughed with his NetNavi as the poor in taste joke. His eyes suddenly narrowed as he picked up the Dark Chip from his pocket. Now, this was their moment to shine. Defeating CannonMan was going to be nothing like defeat this blue NetNavi. He activated the new program on his PET and just a few moments later, the Dimensional Area was up and running all around Scilabs.

"Ready?" asked Trent.

"Let's rock!"

………………………………………………

"Oh, no not another Dimensional Area," moaned Lan.

They had finally gotten the people out of the room when the area around them started to go all weird. That could only mean one thing in Lan's books. As Maylu and himself started to move people out of the room, a loud crashing sound was heard. At once, they knew it had to be the Darkloid.

"Maylu, you get everyone out of here!" shouted Lan, "I going after him!"

"Be careful, Lan!" shouted Maylu as she watched her friend run down the hallway.

"Ready, MegaMan?" asked Lan as he pulled out the Synchrochip.

"Just hurry, Lan," urged MegaMan.

"Synchrochip Battlechip in! Download! Cross-Fusion!"

Now, both Lan and MegaMan had became one into the Dimensional Area. Running at top speeds, they had to hurry towards where the sounds had come from. They seem to have originated from one of the top private research labs. Quickly, Lan downloaded the Mega Buster, ready for used. There was no way he was going to allow this Darkloid, may he be human or not, get away with this.

"Freeze!" shouted Lan as he slide into the room, pointing the Mega Buster.

It took him only a couple of seconds to see that there was no one in front of him. Placing his weapon at his side, Lan took a few steps inside the room. He thought for sure that this was where the loud crash had came from. But there was no one here.

"Lan, look out!" cried out MegaMan.

Lan wasn't quick enough to take MegaMan's warning. In seconds, he was sent flying into the wall, as StrikeMan had jumped from behind him The Cross Fused Darkloid let loosed a Mini Boomer towards MegaMan, but he quickly saw it and jumped out of its way.

"Why don't you stay still? Your destruction will be much easier on you!" shouted Trent.

"I'll never give up to a Darkloid!" respond Lan, "Mega Buster!"

The arm cannon quickly formed on Lan's arm and he fired a couple shots. Direct hit! StrikeMan cried out in pain as he grabbed a hold of his chest from the laser shots. Growling deep inside his throat, Trent started to charge towards Lan.

"Take this, Strike Slash!" roared out StrikeMan as his arm blades started to glow from their attack.

In a one motion, Trent slashed MegaMan right across the chest with the one attack. Lan crashed down into the floor from the force of the attack. Moaning a bit in pain, he knew at once that they were going to have to get this done.

"Boomerang Battlechip in! Download!" called out Lan.

The Mega Buster was replaced on MegaMan's hand and formed the Boomerang Launcher. Aiming it carefully, Lan set it flying towards StrikeMan. The silver NetNavi jumped out of its way on the first round. As it came back around, the boomerang whacked Trent right in the middle of his back. Trent grinded his teeth together in pain.

"You are going to pay for that," hissed StrikeMan, "Cyber Sword Battlechip in! Download!"

With the sword in hand, Trent started to slash at Lan, trying to get him in his chest. MegaMan was much faster, dodging each attack made at him. This was getting them nowhere. Trent growled, as his attacks were growing more and more fierce and more random. It was like he wasn't even trying anymore. StrikeMan was just wanted to destroy him and hang Lan's head on the wall.

"Look, you are being used, Nebula is using you and your NetNavi," said Lan seeing if he could plead the human inside to stop this thing.

"Shut up and fight me!" roared out Trent.

"Lan, we need another plan," said MegaMan.

"I know that, it seem the only way to destroy his emblem," said Lan.

"Right, I'll find an open spot," stated MegaMan, "Just keep him busy."

"Easy for you to say!" shouted Lan as he ducked under another one of StrikeMan's attacks.

That is when he noticed that StrikeMan was getting a little sluggish. His attacks were becoming more and more slower and less powerful. Trent noticed it as well. It was like his body was being drain of energy. He wouldn't be able to keep the fusion for much longer. This has to end now.

"Trent, what are you think?" asked StrikeMan as he felt his partner seem to be up to something.

"I going for it,"

"What? You are going for what?…Wait…Now?"

"We can do it now, we have the power, thanks to the Dark Chips,"

"Alright, lets do it and take this creeps out," agreed StrikeMan.

Trent nodded his head, and then took a couple steps backwards. He had to gain some distance if he was going to do this right. Everything had to be prefect. MegaMan notice this and wonder what was going on here. Was he retreating?

"Prepare to die, freak-o!" shouted Strikeman, "Cannon Battlechip in: Download!"

" Mega Cannon Battlechip in; Download!"

"Oh no," said Lan and MegaMan as they figure out what the Darkloid was planning to do.

"Hi-Cannon Battlechip in; Download!"

Now, a large three, combine cannon had formed at Trent's hands. He could feel sweat pouring down his forehead as he tried to hold it up. The power coming from this was tremendous. Now, all he had to do was hold on just a little longer.

"Program AdvanAHAHAHAHAH!"

The power from the Program Advance was too much for Trent and StrikeMan's already weak cross-fussed. Just as he as about to launch the attack, a giant explosion came from the large cobalt cannon. The Cross Fusion broke at once as Trent was sent flying into a near-by wall. He slumped to the ground, unconscious. His PET came out of his hand and landed under a table, where no one could see it unless they tried. The Dimensional Area broke and Lan returned to normal. He quickly ran over to Trent to see if he was ok.

"Lan are you ok?" asked Maylu as she ran into the room with Mr. Famous and Dr. Hikari with her.

"We need an ambulance!" shouted Lan as even he could see that the young boy in his arms was serious hurt.

"I'll go and get one," said Maylu as she ran back out.

"Here, let me see him," said Dr. Hikari as he kneed down to the unconscious boy and was surprise to actually know this boy, "This is Henry's boy."

"You are right," stated Mr. Famous, "it is Trent Midorikawa."

"What going to happen to him?" asked Lan.

"I don't know, Lan," said Dr. Hikari, "But first we have to get him to the hospital at once.

……………………………………………….

As Trent was loaded on to the ambulance, a lone figure entered Scilabs. It quickly entered the room where Trent and Lan had their battle. Looking around the room, it soon spotted what it was looking for. Going over to the table where StrikeMan's PET was lying on the ground, it picked it up. With a small chuckle, it placed it into it's coat pocket.

"Don't worry, we are going to your Netoft back really soon," it chuckle as it step back into the darkness
