Chapter 9: The Death of Lan

"Huh? That's Megaman! Lan, pick it up!"

"Megaman, what is it? I'm not in the mood…"

"Lan, Axl Lied to Roll, and he has my ability's, my identity, possibly my DNA!"

"What? We can't let that happen! What do you need?"

"Start the Guts program!"

"But Megaman, that'll take a while for it to install!

"Just operate me until it's done! We can't let him get away!"

"Right! Starting…. ok, it's going! I'll send some chips!"

"Great Lan!"

"Battle Routine, Set!"

"Execute!"

Megaman starts By using Gundesol, they had to be careful. They attacked him, and Axl fired at him. Megaman stopped and rolled, he couldn't be hit! He used then a program advance, Zeta Cannon! Megaman disappears. Axl looks around, and Megaman fires his cannon at him! Axl got hit!

"Lan, lets finish this!"

"Right!"

Megaman and Lan focus on each others energies, and became Synced! They did Full Snycro! Megaman used the Blue Moon Chip. But then the most horrible thing happened. Megaman was hit with a copy shot.

A screen appeared with Gaia's face on it.

"MWHAHAHAHAH!"

"Good work Axl!"

"What? Gaia!"

"Now we are Synced! Mwhahahaha!"

And that's a good thing too!

FWOOSH

"Gah, gah, AHHHH!"

"Protoman!"

"Protoman, reporting for duty!"

"You look like that's Wood Guts! You must've got the program!"

"Yes, and it gives me a Bamboo Sword!"

"But that means…."

Chaud was standing right next to Lan.

"For once, I'm glad you are coming uninvited!"

"Thanks, I think.."

"Ahh!"

Lan now saw Gaia, but in pain.

"It must be because he's in full Syncro!"

"That's it Hikari!"

Gaia push's a few buttons. Then, Axl flashes, then being's to take form of the Luminie program. Then, Mayl comes out fro the ball room.

"Lan! I was wrong! I don't love him! I love you!"

"M-Mayl?"

She ran over to Lan.

"That was a stupid thing I did… Lan, don't-"

"The next thing she knew, she was in Lan's arms, kissing him.

"Lan…"

"Mayl, its ok. I understand. I've done some pretty stupid stuff in the past."

"Oh Lan!"

"I'm still here!"

A laser came from Gaia's hand. It struck Lan.

"GAH!"

"LAN!"

"… Don't touch her… Eh…"

"Lan, stop, your going to hurt yourself!"

"MWHAHAHAHAH! It won't help now girl, it has already started!"

"What do you mean Gaia?"

"It doesn't just make the Navi stronger, it creates the Ultimate Snycro!"

"What does that mean?"

"The Navi and operator become one, and the Navi comes to the Real World and fuses with its operator!"

"No! We can't let that happen Megaman!"

"Too late!"

Gaia slowly took Axl's new form, and when he fully became Axl, he grabbed Mayl and flew to the top of the ship.

"Let Mayl go!"

"Then come and get me Lan!"

"Lan, don't!"

"Megaman, Jack Out!"

Lan ran up to the top. Once he got there, He saw Gaia holding Mayl over the rail.

"Let her go Gaia! It's me you want!"

"Exactly!"

He drops Mayl on the deck, and charges at Lan. He grabs him, and throws him over-board.

"LAN!"

"Are those sharks I see?"

He was right, sharks circled Lan's Position, and dove. Bubbles came up, and then they stopped.

"YOU MONSTER!"

Mayl started sobbing, and pounding on Gaia. She hit him for a good while, then just fell to her knee's and cried.

"LLLLLAAAAAANNNNN!"

Then all of a sudden, Dr. Hikari's helicopter flew over.

"Here! Give these to X and Zero!"

He dropped them on deck. X and Zero had Transferred to Chaud's PET before Lan fell.

They were two copy bots, but one had a funny looking arm and one had a sword on the back.

"I got it." Chaud said.

He jacked them into them, and X and Zero came alive, but with Weapons.

"Zero, you ready?"

"Born ready X."

They jumped at him. X Shot Gaia lots of times, all hitting. Gaia grunted, and was hurt. He shot lasers at them. Zero jumped up and slashed at the laser, cutting it off. He jumped again and slashed Gaia.

"HAHAHAHAHAH! You fools, it enhance's my ability's! I can copy your attacks by being inflicted with them!

"Then let's finish this!"

X and Zero crouched, then jumped at him. Zero slashed at mach speed, and X shot a huge beam. Gaia then fell to his knees.

"W-What power…."

Chapter 10: Ultimate Snycro

After the defeat of Gaia, they striped him of the program and put him in the ships brig.

"Mayl? You ok?"

"No Yai, it was my fault….."

"What was?"

"Lan died because of me…. If I didn't get mad at him, he wouldn't be dead by now. I should've listened…"

"Oh Mayl… I feel so sorry for you… but I would've done the same."

"Still, it was my fault…."

Suddenly, there was a rumble. Gaia crashed through the wall, and laughed.

"You fools should've searched my PET, I made a copy! But now I will release its full power!"

"But Gaia, we agreed not to use it!"

"It's sad, isn't it? I have to send away my Navi, but its well worth it!"

"But sir-"

"You're not a real Navi!"

"W-what?"

"You're a reploid's data!"

"I knew it, it is Axl!"

A flash of light went into Megaman's copy bot, showing Axl.

"Am-am I a-a fake?"

"No, you're the reploid. But I blocked your memories! You can't remember anything, do you?"

"…"

"I thought as much. A Navi-"

"I do remember. X, got a date with Alia yet?"

"AXL! You remember!"

Axl Jacked into Megaman's copy bot and then the three rushed together, and X gave a big hug. "Um... X… We can't breathe…"

"How touching. But I will finish this now. PARADISE LOST!"

W-what is that black hole doing?"

"It's going to suck us in, we have to destroy Gaia!"

"But how can we? He can copy all our moves, and he's makes them 10 times stronger!"

"We have no choice!"

"Just like old times, Ehh guys?"

"Let's go!"

Axl, X and Zero charged at him. Axl picked up some hand guns he found lying on the ground from the fallen security guards and started shooting. Gaia Shot a laser at him, but he rolled out of the way. Zero went in and slashed him a few times before he had to jump away from his Gold fist punch. X Shot a beam at him, and then ducked under his lager beam.

"What are we going to do? He sends all of our attacks back stronger than before!"

"If only Lan was here…"

"Lan…"

Mayl shed a tear and it fell into the water. Just then, A flash appeared, then a column of light shot up from the water. Out of it, stepped Megaman.

"W-what?"

The voice spoke, but it wasn't of Lan's.

"Mayl, get out of the way."

"L-lan? You're alive?"

"BATTLE ROUTINE, SET!"

"EXECUTE!"

"Lan" flew towards Gaia, and started attacking with his buster. Gaia took lots of damage.

"I'll just copy- wait, how come I can't copy you!"

"Because I'm in Ultimate Snycro, don't you see?"

"No! That can't happen!"

Gaia and Lan charged at each other. Gaia used a Time Bomb, and Lan destroyed it with a Cannon. Gaia Threw a Boomer, and Lan uses a Long Sword to deflect it. Gaia then put in Long Sword as well. They went in and locked swords. Lan and Gaia both used Step Sword. They dashed past each-other. Lan grasped his chest, showing a sign of pain.

"HAHAHAHAH! You do not stand a chance Lan Hikari!"

"Lan? I'm not Lan, I AM HUB!"

"H-Hub? It can not be!"

"What?" Mayl was also surprised.

"It does not matter! I shall destroy you! DELTA RAY!"

All of a sudden, he brought out a long sword and Slashed by him multiple times. "Hub" Staggered.

"Grrrr….."

Hub then got up.

"Lan, don't hurt yourself!"

Just then, Gaia shot a laser towards Mayl.

"AHHHHH!"

Hub jumped in front of her, taking in the laser.

"I see Lan has a bit of control left."

Gaia then grabbed Mayl. Hub got very angry, and brought out his own Boomer. Hub put in Air Shoes and picked her up.

"Lan, are you in there?"

The mask opened. It was someone that Mayl had not recognized. He looked like Lan, but she knew it wasn't.

"Mayl, get out of her. Me and my brother can finish this."

He put her on the deck, and headed to Gaia. He started to glow.

"I want this over with now. GUTS STYLE!"

He glowed more.

"HUB STYLE!"

All of a sudden, He changed form.

"CHARGE SHOT!"

Gaia got nervous.

"BLUE MOON, BATTLE CHIP IN!"

A laser shot at Hub, but it did nothing.

"Gaia, you've caused me enough trouble. You can give up or perish."

"Hub, you will not defeat me!"

He pulled something out. It was a DarkChip.

"DarkChip in, download!"

Just then, Gaia became stronger. He charged his buster.

"ULTIMATE BEAM!"

Hub then saw his opportunity.

"HUB BEAM!"

They both shot, and when they collided, Hub lost a lot of momentum.

"Lan, I can't do it! He's too strong!"

"Then let me join in!"

"Your still hurt from the shark attack!"

"You don't have a choice! I'm coming anyway!"

Just then, Someone appeared next to Hub.

"Hub, we can do it together! Come on!"

"R-Right!"

They both stopped, and charged up.

"Ready?"

"Lets rock!"

HIKARI BEAM!

They both shot a twirling beam, destroying the other beam.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

The beam hit Gaia, and Gaia exploded. The black hole disappeared.

"Uh……"

Hub fell, Lan disappeared. Mayl rushed over to him.

"Hub, you ok?"

"No, I'm leaving. Tell Lan that it was great to see him, and I love him."

"Sniff I promise I will Hub, I promise…"

Hub disappears, showing Lan, with his PET on his side.
