Chapter 8: Heartbroken
Meanwhile, Lan looks for Gaia.
Lan looks in the ball room, where Megaman comes out of, heartbroken.
"Megaman, what happened?"
".. Roll hates me, thanks to Axl…"
"What did he do?"
"He had a false playback of me saying Roll is a trophy, which I was going to win…"
"How can he do that?"
"… It's one of his abilities."
"What do you mean X?"
Megaman catch's on.
"That's more than enough X, I have to get back!"
"Ok, glad I could help."
"Lan, we have to find you-know-who!"
"Right Zero, lets go!"
Lan looks everywhere, but no success. He finally finds him with Mayl at the bow of the ship.
Before Lan try's to get at them, he hide's himself.
"Mayl, you look wonderful. Why did you bring me? You had you little friend Hikari."
"I wanted to bring you Gaia. You are my boyfriend."
Lan was hurt. He had known Mayl since childhood, and Mayl fell for a guy he met a few days ago. But what killed Lan was what happened next.
Gaia kissed Mayl, right in front of Lan. Lan felt something shatter. He felt his heart beating, and just started sobbing. Lan couldn't believe what happened. All those emotions he had earlier had returned, but stronger. Lan was very confused. He gathered up all his pride, and it took a while, and went to talk to Mayl.
"Lan, you're a mess. What happened?"
"N-never mind that. Can I talk to you?"
"Sure."
"In private?"
"Um sure. I'll be back Gaia."
"Ok, I'll be waiting forever."
"Giggle"
Lan took Mayl to an empty cabin.
"Lan, will you tell me what the heck your doing?"
"Listen Mayl, that guy is trouble."
"Why do you say that? Are you jealous?"
"… Sorta, but that's not the whole story."
"Then what is?"
"He only likes you so he could on this ship!"
"What are you talking about? Lan, you're out of your gourd!"
"No, he wanted to get that program Yai was talking about!"
"Why? What does it do?"
"It strengthens the user by ten-fold!"
"Why would he want that?"
"I have no idea, but I know he has it!"
"You can not confirm that."
"…"
"Lan, your being an idiot!"
"Mayl, how long have we known each other?"
"Since Childhood…"
"Then why would I lie to you?"
"You're just jealous."
"I'm not! Wait…"
"See, you are!"
"Only because…"
"Because?"
Lan went in and kissed her. Mayl Eyes widened, but then they relaxed a bit. It was different than Gaia's. Although his was nice, Lan's was warm, soft, and more enjoyable.
"L-lan…"
"Mayl, trust me. He's bad news."
She shakes her head.
"Lan, I like him. I really can't believe you."
Lan stood silently.
He paused for a good while. There was a knock on the door. It was Gaia.
"Mayl, something wrong?"
"Not anymore Gaia."
Mayl left, but with a sad expression. She was wondering if she did the right thing.
Meanwhile, Megaman went back, and found Roll dancing with Axl.
"Axl, your holding me a bit tight…"
"Why, you don't like that?"
"I'd like some space….."
He loosened his grip, but then saw Megaman, and confronted him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Fixing something. Hi-yah!"
Megaman Punched Axl hard.
"Mega, what did you do that for!"
"He played you Roll!"
"W-what?"
"What in the world are you talking about?"
"You know that recording is fake Axl. Tell us how?"
"What is he talking about Axl? Mega, I heard you voice. I even ran a check, and it was confirmed!"
"Because it was my voice, but not me."
"What are you saying Mega?"
Megaman faced Axl.
"You can copy weapons and attack patterns, right?"
"…"
"You can also copy Forms, shapes, designs, and voices."
"What? Is he telling the truth Axl?"
"Hehehehe…Hahahahaha…MWWHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Jack in!"
Megaman jacked into Axl's copy bot.
"You right, Megaman. I did."
"All those shots at me, they were Copy Shots!"
"Your right, but you can't beat me now!"
"There is one way! Lan, Lan!"
