Trouble In Paradise

Disclaimer: I do not own the Classic Megaman series, the Megaman comic series, or the Battle Network series. I like them all, but I don't own them.

In the next chapter, Megaman goes through a hectic process as he gets ready for his first day of his sophomore year. I'm going to through a bunch of humor in this chapter, so be forewarned. Anyways, here's chapter two!

Chapter Two

Back To School

"Rocky! Get your butt moving! You're gonna be late!" Rocky had slept in a bit too late and he was now scrambling to get cleaned up. "I know! I know!" Cutman picked up Rocky's alarm and noticed the back of it had been removed. "That's weird. Ah well." He replaced the clock and continued on his way. Rocky quickly grabbed the watch which he used to turn into Megaman and he took off out the door. "Forget something?" Rocky ran back in, grabbed his backpack, and took off through the door again. "I meant his lunch money, but that works out too."

Rocky ran down the sidewalk and began breathing heavily. Man oh man! I screwed up royally. Wait! I can still make it on time! He looked around quickly before activating his watch and transforming into Megaman. He began running at an abnormal speed and was soon on his way. Meanwhile, at Mega City High School, Aaron and Chelsea were both already waiting for Rocky. Aaron wore his green suit, orange tie, grayish jeans and a duffel bag. Chelsea wore a yellow shirt with purple straps, grayish shorts, goggles, fingerless gloves, and yellow shoes. "I hope Rocky's all right." Chelsea laughed. "You've got to stop worrying so much, Aaron. It's not like he's dead or anything." Aaron shivered. "Thanks for the support." Chelsea strapped her arm around the back of her friend's neck. "No problem."

Megaman ran like the wind, but was sure to see that no one saw him. He had to sneak past a few crowds, but that was about it. Shortly, his school was in his sights. Yes! I'm gonna make it on time! However, he didn't. Instead, in a purplish blur, something tripped Megaman and his backpack fell to the ground. He slowly stood up and looked up to see a black robot with purple marks under his eyes, a blue crystal in his helmet and chest, and two large fins on his helmet. Next to him was the purple blur. It was a wolf-like robot with a small face and a large head. It's tail wagged slightly as it sat obediently next to the other being.

"Who are you?" The robot smirked. "I am Bass and this is my faithful sidekick, Treble." Megaman stood up and grabbed his bag. "Look, Mr. Bass. I don't have time to…" Bass growled. "You will sit down and fight me!" Megaman scoffed. "That's what you think." He took of in a different direction that he was heading and Bass just stood there. "you'll pay for this cowardice!" Megaman ran until he was certain that he wasn't being followed, and that was about two yards away. He quickly transformed back to his old self and he ran off towards the school.

Back in the courtyard, the bell rang and kids were beginning to be escorted into the building. Aaron and Chelsea reluctantly followed. "I hope the guy's okay." Chelsea didn't say anything until she saw him. "Hey! Here he comes!" Both of them ran back down the stairs as a huffing and puffing Rocky ran up. "Well, it's about time! You'll be the death of me yet!" Rocky stood erect and smirked. "Perhaps, but if I am…" He looked at Chelsea as the three began walking up the steps. "…then we can take Chelsea down with us." Chelsea scoffed. "Yeah right! You couldn't take me down if you tried." Aaron smirked. "Perhaps, but it quite amusing." Chelsea was about to say something when, lo and behold, the troublesome trio popped up.

"A whole new year means all new ways for us to pound on you, meat." Rocky sighed. "I've got a name and it's not meat." Dix smashed one fist into the other. "We'll call you dirt for all we care." Rocky smirked as an idea popped into his head. "Hey. Ever hear of the saying, 'What comes from the Earth returns to the Earth'?" The three became confused. "Uh… Not really." Rocky smirked as the three snuck into their rooms. "It means that you are born from the Earth and thus you shall return to it. As for you three, you'll return to the mud, just like your names." The three started as the second bell rang. A robot walked up and began tapping it's foot as if to ask why the three weren't in their classes by now. 'I swear we'll get that meat for this." Rocky just smirked, took his seat, and began learning about some war that took place long ago.

In the next chapter, things go from great to horrendous as Rocky is forced to reveal his alter ego as the first of the EXE series makes himself known. I really don't know the Battle Network boss techniques, so I'll just make some stuff up. Hopefully, I can get something close to the actual attacks, but I doubt it. Anyways, Read and Review and I'll continue!
