Sithking Zero: I (still) don't own Megaman.

Chapter Two:

Recollections II: Where are they now?

It was half an hour later when they A.N.: I mean our heroes, and if you don't know who they are, then go back to the last chapter, you idiots arrived at Matt's house. Matt lives on the opposite side of Maylu's house from Lan, by the way.

"Wait. You live here?"

"Yep."

"How long have you lived here?"

Matt shrugged. "Oh, I'd say about a week."

Maylu and Roll relaxed in considerable relief. "Well, I guess that gives me an excuse for not knowing you."

Zero looked out of his PET in confusion at Maylu. "Why?"

"Because I live next door."

"Oh."

"Hey, we've got work to do, enough socializing!" Matt cried, pulling them towards the TV.

"Oh, yeah, Matt, you're gonna work so well watching Megas XLR."

"Shut up, Zero. Anyways, I was going to play the DVD with the data on it."

Matt inserted the DVD into the TV, and began to play. "This is currently the only footage we have of the kidnapper. Roll, Maylu, I think you'll be interested in this, and not just because it's of a rouge navi."

The tape started. It was Megaman's homepage, the day he was kidnapped. However, another navi was already there. Roll.

As the footage dragged on, little occurred, apart from a make-out scene between Megaman and Roll, causing several different reactions among the observers:

Roll turned a stunning shade of crimson, her face literally burning. However, at the same time, a solitary tear dripped down her cheek at the thought of Megaman being kept prisoner.

Maylu whipped her head around so fast Zero thought she might crack her neck, and, well, if looks could kill, Roll would be deatomized.

Zero and Matt watched on in silence, but grinning at their partners' antics.

Matt, thankfully decided to fast forward the DVD a little, to (1) stop Roll's head from exploding from so much blood rushing to it, and (2) keep Maylu's anger at Roll under control.

"Yada yada yada… blah blah blah… geez, how can you stand to kiss him that long… AHA!"

Roll and Maylu both jumped.

"WHAT!" they yelled simultaneously.

"Here's where we see the face of the kidnapper."

He played the tape. Roll had just left Megaman's HP, so he flopped down on his bed, sighing contentedly.

That's when the world shattered.

With a roar like a bat outta hell, an explosion ripped through the HP, tearing a hole in the fabric of space. What was more frightening, however, was the navi that jumped out of the breach in the laws of physics.

It was huge. It was easily twice the size of Gutsman, and over eight hundred times as powerful. The head was completely bald, with a red jewel planted firmly in the forehead. His sloped forehead dropped down to two blazingly green eyes, with no pupil or white, only iris. The chestplate had yellow hue, and the crest was a sinisterly drawn greek symbol that looked like it was made of blood. His blue armor with yellow trim shed flames like water, and a tree-trunk sized arm was pointing at Megaman, and was apparently charging up some sort of attack of blue energy.

However, Megaman had not received a rep as being the best of the best by being caught off guard by every yahoo who pointed an attack at him. Leaping from the bed, he squeezed off three charged shots at the mysterious figure.

Which did absolutely no good at all.

Whatever the freak navi was wearing, it absorbed all the attacks, adding their energy to their dark wearer. Moving so fast that no one could track him, he grabbed Megaman and proceeded to blast the blue bomber at point-blank range.

The cry of agony was frozen in Megaman's throat. The strange weapon spread energy across the Blue Bomber's chest like an oil slick across a pond. Within seconds, the energy completely covered his body, growing in brightness and intensity. The navi writhed under the coat, but slowly, his struggles lessened. Soon, he stopped moving entirely.

The giant navi slowly moved towards Megaman, a grin spreading across his proud, ugly face. Retrieving a gadget from his belt, the gargantuan navi ripped open a gash in the universe. Grasping his "prize," the criminal stepped through the rip as it closed behind him. Nothing, save the scorch marks from the Megabuster, gave the slightest indication that a fight had happened.

In the real world and the Cyber world, the humans and navis gaped in shock.

Zero opened and closed his mouth several times before speaking. "This," he stuttered, "Is not what you would call…a good thing."

Roll looked at him. "As much as I think that that was a very stupid thing to say, I have to agree with you."

Sithking Zero: ummmm… Hi! Please review, and Megas XLR is not mine, either. Forgot to mention that…
