Sithking Zero: WAZZUP! Megaman is not mine. Rockman is not mine. Capcom is not mine. Lawyers, please go away. Don't sue me!

Chapter Five:

Our Heroes Can Handle Anything…

Thudding to the bottom with the grace of a ninja, Roll immediately fried both the guards waiting at the bottom of the shaft. Her eyes blazed in anger, burning with hatred for whoever took her friend.

That is, until a skeletal robotic hand clamped itself over her mouth, and anger was replaced with horror.

"Sssshut uup, it'sssss onleeee usssss! Zeeero brought usss here assss backup."

"Sonsamsm mandlsna man ma ns masm."

"Whaat?"

"I said, somehow, that doesn't give me great comfort."

"Oh, ssso sssorreee." The navi hissed sarcastically. "We Rhakshi cannot help whooo weee are."

"They are right. And anyways, we need to talk, Roll."

Roll relaxed slightly, hearing Zero's voice.

"Please, let's sit down for a moment."

Both sat down on the cold, stone floor.

"Roll, you've been acting like a real jerk over the past few days."

"I HAVE NOT!" she cried indignently. "Why would you even say anything like that?"

Zero glared at her coldly. "You're acting like you're possessed by a demon. You are very antisocial, you are taking stupid risks, you're barely sleeping-"

"I am so sleeping!"

"Roll, last night, to make sure you didn't go hunting for this guy, the Rhakshi had to club you over the back of the head with their spears. Repeatedly. You need to calm down."

"CALM DOWN? HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WH-"

At this point, Zero slapped her in the face.

She looked at him for a second, then turned away. "Thanks. I needed that."

Zero looked puzzled for a second. Then his face dawned with calm understanding. He leaned in close and whispered, "It's Megaman, isn't it?"

Tears were running freely down Roll's face.

Zero continued to whisper. "Let me tell you something. You are not the only one who's lost someone to this guy. I lost both of my cousins to this psycho. Trust me, they are not pushovers. Only a few netnavis are more powerful then them."

Roll wiped her tears away. "Who were they?"

Zero looked around the room, then turned back to her. "What you are about to hear is classified information. You can't tell anyone this, understand?"

She sniffed, and nodded.

"My cousins are legendary, or, at least, one is. My cousins are feared in most of the undernet."

Zero took a deep breath, and continued. "Roll, this is not easy to say, but you must promise to believe me."

"Roll, my cousins are Starefire.EXE and her brother…

Zero paused a moment, then said the one name that all navis feared.

"…Bass."

Roll nearly fainted in utter horror.

Zero quickly launched into an explanation. "Roll, the Bass that kidnapped Megaman and attacked the Grave Virus Beast was a copy of the true Bass, who is ten times as powerful. The real guy is actually quite nice; I play poker with him, Starfire, and one of the Rhakshi every other Tuesday."

"Zero, why didn't you tell me? Or Maylu? I mean, what would be the harm?"

Roll was nearly inconsolable; she just learned that her partner was related to the most powerful Navi ever.

"To avoid what you're doing right now. I mean, come on. Who would take this rationally? I had pretty much the same reaction that you did. Now, come on, we've got to get this guy and save your boyfriend and my cousins."

And with that, they both walked into the room the two dead guards at the start of the chapter had been guarding.

Sithking Zero: Zero's second biggest secret is revealed! His biggest one will be revealed later. Oh, and to use Starfire, sister of Bass, in your Fanfics, you must talk to Blitz Chick, another author, who is also my sister. She owns Starfire and her Netop, Sam Rebina, and you must get permission from her to use her. Otherwise, you will be hunted down and beaten with a long, blunt object (by her, then me, because she will have beaten me first for not warning you.) I don't like the method that Zero used to shut Roll up, but it's the best thing I could think of, and that's what I would want to have done to me if I started acting crazy and hysterical. I'm sorry. Please don't flame me, I feel bad already. Please Review!
