Chapter 10: War Front
'Roll has sent a message to Megaman, informing him of her and Maylu's situation and reinforcements have been called in. A fierce battle is on the rise.'
Sci-Lab
Dr. Hikari has called in his reinforcements and is patiently waiting for them arrive.
"Where are they?" Lan impatiently asks as he continues pacing back and forth.
"Don't worry Lan, they will be here." Dr. Hikari says to Lan, trying to calm his son's nervousness.
"How can I be calm at a time like this when my girlfriend is being held hostage by a dark loid named Blademan who we know NOTHING about?" Lan frantically inquires as he stops pacing and turns to his dad. "Anything could be happening to her right now while she's with him."
"She's fine Lan, I'm sure of it." Tori speaks up with a comforting tone.
"I sure hope you're right." Lan replies, now turning to Tori.
"Lan, I'm sure Riaka and Chaud will be here any minute now." Dr. Hikari says in an assuring tone.
"Chaud? Riaka?" Lan replies in surprise, now turning to his father. "Those were the guys you had in mind? I knew you were going to call Chaud in, but Riaka? Dad, you know I can't work with Riaka. He always tries to out do me in these type of missions."
"Of course." Dr. Hikari answers. "Who else is better to contact about this then Net Saviors?"
"And what am I?" Lan inquires.
"Lan, I know you're a Net Savior, but believe me when I say this." Dr. Hikari begins. "I seriously doubt that you'll be able to handle this mission by yourself. This mission requires as many skilled professionals as possible."
"I agree." Chaud's voice speaks.
"Make that double." Riaka's voice chimes in.
Hearing the voices, Tori, Lan and Dr. Hikari all turn towards the doorway of the sector and spots Chaud and Riaka.
"Finally you guys are here." Lan speaks in a frantic tone as Chaud and Riaka begins approaching the three. "I thought you'd never arrive."
"Typical Lan." Chaud says with a sigh.
"I'm glad you two could make it on such short notice." Dr. Hikari says to Chaud and Riaka as the two now reach the three.
"No problem Dr." Riaka replies formally. "A true Net Savior never hesitates to answer a distress call."
"That's good to know." Dr. Hikari responds. "Now, as you remember our conversation on the phone, Tori, Lan and Maylu reported to me the sighting of a Dimensional Area and Dark Loids in the demolition site where Dr. Regal's tower sits. The thing that is getting me is that the Dark Loids didn't attack the city like usual, but instead, attacked the kids in that one area. I did a scan of the city and no traces of a dimensional area or dark loids came up on the scan. Now, there is a situation in Net City and from what Megaman reported to Lan, Flashman is behind it."
"Interesting." Riaka speaks.
"Also, from what Lan told me that Megaman reported to him is that Maylu and Roll have been kidnapped by a Dark Loid named Blademan." Dr. Hikari continues.
"Blademan?" Chaud questions. "I've never heard of him before."
"Neither have I." Riaka adds in.
"Some how, some way, they are going undetected under the scan." Dr. Hikari finishes.
"Not for long." Riaka says as a sly smirk forms on his face. "Sharo has the best stealth technology around and nothing goes undected under our scans."
"How will you be able to detect the dark loids if Dr. Hikari wasn't able to?" Tori questions.
"That's a good question." Lan adds in. "If the scans my dad did came up clean of all dark loids, then how is it a guarantee that you will detect them?"
"Simple." Riaka answers, turning to Lan. "The one thing that can make any navi, including dark loids, detectable is their data system's Cyber Sensors. Now with a report from your father about the dark loids being re-created, whoever rebuilt them reconstructed them with the same data and no doubt with everything they were first built with. So, by using the cyber tracker, I will be able to track any navi and Dark Loid anywhere, no matter where they are at the current moment or where they were last."
"Please locate Maylu soon." Lan says, going into a panic. "I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to her."
"Patience Lan." Riaka says. "Even these things take time. We will find Maylu and Roll. That's a promise."
"The computer is this way." Dr. Hikari says to Riaka.
Riaka nods as he and Dr. Hikari now begins making their way over to the computer across the room.
"Lan, where is Megaman?" Chaud inquires as he turns to Lan.
"In Net City battling with Flashman." Lan answers. "The more powerful and updated version."
"Not when Protoman gets done with him." Chaud replies with a low growl. "Time to show these dark loids that enough is enough!"
"I say a double team is in order." Lan says with determination.
"Now you're thinking Hikari." Chaud says, now gaining a smile. "Let's give that navi of yours some extra power."
Lan nods as he and Chaud head to the nearest computer to log Protoman into Internet City.
Regal's Tower
Aaron is proceeding with transferring the navi data to the dimensional converters on the walls of the tower as Maylu watches on.
"Everything is falling right into place." Aaron says as he continues typing prompts on the computer. "My dad's dream will finally be carried out. This is for you dad."
Maylu, who is keeping a watchful eye on Aaron, now swallows the lump that has formed in her throat.
:I have to somehow distract Aaron and convince him to release me so I can inform Lan of where I am.: Maylu mentally says to herself. :That is the only way me and Roll will be able to escape from here.:
Maylu now begins thinking of a way to try to distract Aaron. Contining to to think, an idea now hits Maylu.
Maylu now begins moving her arms, making the shackles move as well, hoping to get Aaron's attention. Continuing to move the shackles, Maylu notices that the sound of the shackles hasn't gotten Aaron's attention, so she stops moving.
:That didn't work.: Maylu mentally says to herself. :Just what will get his attention:
Another idea now hits Maylu.
:I got it.: Maylu mentally says to herself.
Maylu now begins moving the shackles again, but this time, she begins groaning in hopes of getting Aaron's attention this time. Continuing to groan and rattle the shackles, Aaron now turns around to Maylu and notices that she is fighting against her bonds.
"Is the prisoner uncomfortable?" Aaron inquires with a smile.
"Very much so." Malyu answers.
"Well get use to it." Aaron replies. "Until I complete my mission, you are going to be in that position."
"But I am really uncomfortable like this." Maylu says, putting on a phony sad act. "Is it possible that you can release me so I can stretch my limbs a bit?"
"Not a chance." Aaron replies.
"Please?" Maylu begins pleading in her sad tone. "My arms are super tired."
"Not a chance Sakurai, now stop asking because it's not going to happen." Aaron speaks with anger rising in his voice.
"Awe, that's too bad." Maylu says with sadness as she now turns her vision away from Aaron's. "You know, I thought over your offer about being your empress."
"And?" Aaron questions, raising his right eyebrow.
"I accept your offer." Maylu answers as she turns her vision back to Aaron. "I want to rule by your side."
"Do you now?" Aaron curiously inquires. "What changed your mind?"
"Seeing how determined you are to rule over Dentech City and how hard you are working at it." Maylu answers as a smile now crosses her face. "A man with strong determination and direction always gets my attention."
"And what about your precious Lan Hikari?" Aaron asks as he crosses his arms and leans against the computer console.
"What about him?" Maylu answers. "I'm your empress and I would love nothing more then to rule by your side."
A smile now crosses Aaron's face.
"I knew you would change your mind." Aaron says as he begins approaching Maylu.
:Yes! He fell for it: Maylu mentally celebrates. :Now to come up with a plan so me and Roll can make a run for it.:
Aaron now reaches Maylu and is just about to release her for when he suddnely stops dead in his tracks. Noticing this, Maylu becomes worried.
"Hey, I just remembered that you called me a maniac earlier." Aaron speaks. "An even bigger one then my father and you insulted him too."(Petty much?)
"I know and I'm sorry." Maylu apologizes in her phony sad voice. "I shouldn't have said that to you. I didn't realize how brilliant you were, but now I do. Your brilliance is what changed my mind."
"Spoken like a true empress." Aaron says, gaining a smile. "A true empress of mine."
Reaching in his left pants pocket, Aaron now grabs the key to the shackles and proceeds to unlocking them. With the shackles now unlocked, Maylu begins stretching her limbs and is immediately enveloped in Aaron's embrace.
"You don't know how much it means to me to have heard those words leave your mouth." Aaron speaks as he gentley turns Maylu's face to his. "You have made me one happy ruler."
Leaning in, Aaron's lips now meets with Maylu's. Breaking the kiss, Aaron now meets with Maylu's gaze
"I'm going to step in the back room for a quick minute." Aaron speaks in a whisper, continuing to gaze into Maylu's eyes. "Make yourself at home my empress."
Kissing Maylu once more, Aaron releases Maylu as he now begins making his way to the back room. Continuing to the back room, Aaron now disappears from Maylu's sight.
"That was way too easy." Maylu mumbles to herself. "Now to get word of where I am to Lan."
Turning around, Maylu makes her way to the computer and begins looking over the keys on the console.
"Now which one of these keys opens an email message window?" Maylu questions to herself as she continues looking the console over.
Continuing to look the keys over, Maylu now notices that none of the keys are labeled.
"None of these keys are labeled." Maylu speaks with slight panic. "I'm going to have to guess at which one it could be and I better make it a good guess because I only have one shot."
Continuing to look the keys over, Maylu's eyes now land on the F3 key. Keeping her sights on the F3 key, Maylu presses it as a window now appears on the screen. Noticing the window, Maylu discovers the window is in email messaging format.
"Great!" Maylu cheers. "Now to make contact with my Lan."
Maylu begins composing her message to Lan.
Cyber World NetWork
Roll and Blademan are continuing with their walk through the tower's computer mainframe cyber channel as Blademan continues sharing his thoughts with Roll.
"And that's how I found out that Aaron Regal was my Net Operator." Blademan continues, now finishing his current thought. "I was created by Dr. Regal for Aaron."
"Wow, that's interesting." Roll responds, unsure of how to reply to what Blademan said.
"So tell me about you." Blademan says as he now turns to Roll. "I want to know everything possible about you."
"I don't know exactly where to start." Roll says in a nervous tone. "What exactly do you want to know about me?"
"Everything possible and please don't leave out any details." Blademan answers.
"Ok, how about this." Roll says, changing her tone to serious. "How about we not talk about me, but yet, talk about your net op, what he wants with my net op, and why he is destroying Internet City."
Noticing the serious look on Roll's face, Blademan can feel a lump rise in his throat as he begins trying to gather his words to answer Roll's question.
"Well, I really don't know how to explain it." Blademan says, slightly studdering over his words.
"It doesn't matter where you start." Roll says. "Jsut speak."
"Well, it's like this." Blademan begins. "Two years ago after Lan defeated Dr. Regal, Aaron began planning his revenge against Lan and kept saying how much he was going to make Lan suffer, but didn't have a clue as to how he was going to do it. That is where your net op came into it. First he was just going to take her to make Lan surrender, but now he has fallen in love with her and plans on keeping her while continuing to go through with his original plan."
"My god." Roll says in a whisper.
"He's destroying Internet City because he wants to carry out his father's final wishes." Blademan finishes.
"He has to be stopped." Roll speaks in digust. "You, you can stop him. You're his net navi, he'll listen to you."
"I don't think so." Blademan says to Roll.
"Why not? Don't you see how wrong this is?" Roll anxiously inquires. "What happened to Regal two years ago was well deserved and if it weren't for Lan and Megaman defeating him, Dentech wouldn't still be standing right now. You have to stop him Blademan."
Blademan now turns his vision from Roll and to the cyber floor.
"Blademan." Roll says with sincerity in her voice.
Hearing the sincerity in Roll's voice, Blademan now turns his vision back to her and notices the sincere expression on her face.
"I don't know if I can." Blademan says to Roll. "I'm his Net Navi. I'm suppose to obey him and do whatever he says."
"You don't have to in this case." Roll replies. "What he is doing is wrong and he should be stopped before he completes his plan."
"I don't know how." Blademan says with slight sadness. "My programming, it's my programming."
"Don't worry, I'll help you." Roll replies as a small smile crosses now her lips. "I know just the person to talk to about your program. All we have to do now is find a way out of here."
"Where do you want to go?" Blademan questions.
"To the Sci-Lab's computer mainframe's Cyber Channel." Roll answers. "That will take us directly to the Lab's research channel."
"I know of a way that will take us there." Blademan replies. "The channel runs through Internet City. Come on."
Grabbing Roll's left hand, Blademan now begins leading the way.
Internet City
Megaman and Flashman are still engaged in battle as Internet City is continuing to be destroyed around hem with another set of navi's being sucked into an F3 cyber tornado.
Megaman is breathing heavily as Flashman slants his hatred filled eyes while keeping his focus on Megaman.
"Are you ready to give up and admit your defeat or will I have to delete you to get you out of my way?" Flashman fiercely asks.
"If it's one thing that I will never do and that's admit defeat to the likes of you!" Megaman replies as he brings the sonic boom sword into his view.
"Well, we're just going to have to do something about that now won't we?" Flashman says in a mischevious tone.
"I dare you to try, but I guarantee you won't succeed." Megaman says with a grin.
"We'll see about that." Flashman says as his right hand, balled into a fist, now begins glowing.
"Bring it on!" Megaman says as he weilds his sword and now begins dashing towards Flashman.
Continuing towards Flashman, Megaman now leaps into the air as the Sonic Boom sword now begins glowing. Having Flashman in his range, Megaman is just about to bring his sword down on him when suddenly, Flashaman raises his right plam in Megaman's direction with a big ball of light emerging from it. Unable to dodge the attack in time, Megaman is impacted and is sent flying to the ground.
Having been thrown to the ground, Megaman now sits up with his hand on his head and spots Flashman coming in his direction with his right hand glowing brightly.
"That wasn't a very good idea." Megaman mumbles to himself, keeping his sights on the approaching Flashman.
Continuing to approach Megaman, Flashman now reaches him and stops two inches from him.
"Here are your options." Flashman begins. "Either you give up now and walk away with all of your data or I destroy you and waste your data in what's left of Internet City. The choice is yours and if I were you, I would take option one!"
"I'll never surrender to you!" Megaman hisses.
"I don't believe you have too much of a choice in this matter considering that your new look is starting to fall apart." Flashman calmly replies.
Looking down at his legs, Megaman notices that the double soul's leg armor is starting to dissolve. Turning to his arms, Megaman notices that the armor is starting to dissolve there as well.
"Oh no, not good." Megaman speaks, continuing to look himself over.
"And now that you're at my mercy, I'll try to make your deletion as painful as I possibly can." Flashman says as he now rasies his right hand in Megaman's direction.
Flashman's hand now begins to glow as Megaman closes his eyes to expect the worst.
:I'm sorry Roll, Maylu.: Megaman mentally apologizes. :I tried my best, I'm very sorry.:
Flashman's palm is continuing to glow and now reaching it's limit in size and growth, the attack is steadying in his hand.
"This is the end for you." Flashman hisses. "Day light-----
Flashman's sentence is suddenly interrupted as a crimson streak suddenly impacts him in the back and knocks him to the ground.
Another crimson streak now lands in front of Megaman.
"The Megaman I know wouldn't give up this easily." A voice says to Megaman.
Hearing the voice, Megaman opens his eyes and looks ahead of him to see Protoman.
"Protoman, man am I glad to see you!" Megaman happily says with beaming eyes.
"Had I shown up any later, you would be cyber dust right now." Protoman comments as he holds his right hand out to Megaman.
"No kidding." Megaman replies as he takes Protoman's hand. Protoman now pulls Megaman to his feet.
With Megaman on his feet, Protoman now looks him over.
"Nice double soul." Protoman comments. "Rental?"
"Don't worry, I'll have it dry cleaned before you get it back." Megaman smartly replies.
"What was that, that suddenly attacked me out of the blue?" Flashman questions as he begins struggling to get to his feet.
Now getting to his feet, Flashman turns around and spots Protoman standing to the right of Megaman.
"So you called in a back up because you couldn't stand to taste defeat at my hands?" Flashman speaks as he focuses his icy glare on Protoman. "That's pathetic, even for you."
"I didn't call him, but I'm glad he's here." Megaman replies.
"And you don't stand a chance against the two of us." Protoman speaks. "I say a double team is in order."
"I agree, but first, I have to take care of something." Megaman says.
Data sentences now begins scrolling up Megaman's eyes as the Proto-Soul double soul vaporizes, returning Megaman to his original armor. The data sentences now stop scrolling as the symbol on his chest begins glowing. The symbol continues to glow as a bright light emerges from it and completely consumes Megaman. A minute later, the bright light disappears, now revealing Megaman in Search Soul style change.
"You're kidding me right?" Flashman speaks as he begins laughing. "Another flashy new look?"
Megaman doesn't respond, but instead, opens his eyes, slants them in anger, and aims his scope gun in Flashman's direction with the gun beginning to charge.
"Oh, you're serious." Flashman says, now stopping his laughter.
Megaman places his finger on the trigger and locks the target onto Flashman using the scope gun's bulls eye target.
"So you have another new look." Flashman begins as his right hand now begins glowing. "I'll have that one falling apart in no time as well!"
With Flashman's hand continuing to glow, the attack has reached it's limit in growth and light as Flashman now aims his right hand in Megaman's direction.
"I'm going to delete you once and for all!" Flashman shouts.
The scope gun has now finished charging as Megaman pulls the trigger. The purple beam is released from the gun as it is heading in Flashman's direction.
"Day Light---" Flashman begins, but is sudenly cut off by the scope gun's beam coming in contact with his chest, knocking him to the ground.
Having been knocked to the ground, Flashman's symbol now cracks.
"That didn't sound good." Flashman speaks as he grips his chest and feels his shattered symbol.
"MY SYMBOL, IT'S BROKEN!" Flashman panics.
"If my memory serves me correctly, when a navi's symbol has been destroyed, that makes the navi vunerable to all attacks." Protoman speaks as he weilds his cyber sword. "Looks like you have quite a problem on your hands."
"I will not be defeated by two COMMON net navis!" Flashman yells as he now begins trying to get to his feet.
"I'd like a second opinion." Protoman replies as he swings his Elec-tro sword in Flashman's direction.
Flashman is impacted in the chest, impacted in his already destroyed symbol and is knocked back to the ground.
Walking over to Flashman, Megaman and Protoman stop to his right and look down at him.
"Still saying that you won't be defeated by us?" Protoman questions to Flashman.
"You are making a huge mistake as I am not the last dark loid that you will be facing." Flashman chokes out, still feeling the impact of the Elec-tro sword.
"If that's a challenge, then I accept." Protoman replies as he raises his Elec-tro sword. Bringing the sword down, Protoman drives it right through Flashman's chest.
Flashman's body now becomes motionless as he lays completely still with his eyes closing. Flashman's data now begins breaking up rapidly, starting the process of erasing him. With his data continuing to break up, the last of Flashman's data now breaks up as Flashman is completely erased from the Cyber World.
"One down, many more to go." Megaman speaks, releasing a sigh.
"For now, they have to wait." Protoman replies as he looks up at the sky, towards the violent storm that is continuing to rage. "We have to stop this violent storm before Internet City suffers the same fate as Flashman."
"I have a plan." Megaman says as Protoman turns to him. "You have to follow me to the letter on this. Follow me."
Protoman nods as he and Megaman begins heading towards Mega-Byte Drive.
Sci-Lab
Dr. Hikari and Riaka are continuing to try to locate Maylu and Roll as the two continue looking over the three dimensional map of Dentech City on the computer screen. The red dot that is blinking on the screen is Searchman's cyber tracker.
"Enlarge quadrant three." Dr. Hikari commands.
A blue box now appears on the right hand corner of the map as it is now enlarged. Every street in that quadrant now appears. With the streets highlighted, Dr. Hikari eyes fall on Tokyo Lane.
"Enlarge Tokyo Lane's area." Dr. Hikari commands once more.
A blue box now appears around the Tokyo Lane area as it is enlarged.
"Searchman, try to locate dark loid, Blademan." Dr. Hikari requests.
Searchman obeys as the red dot now appears on Tokyo Lane's street with a percentage bar appearing. The cyber tracker begins trying to detect Blademan's data as the percentage bar begins counting down. Everyone keeps their attention on the screen as the percentage bar continues counting down. The percentage bar is continuing to count down and is at thirty five percent with a window appearing with a list of data on it. The percentage bar continues counting down and now reaching one hundred percent, the bar disappears. With the data window on the screen, Dr. Hikari and Riaka begins looking the data over.
"Unbelievable." Dr. Hikari speaks in awe as he cotninues looking the data over. "It was a good thing I called you in Riaka."
"Glad I can help." Riaka replies.
"Alright, let's see what we have here." Dr. Hikari begins, keeping his eyes on the screen.
Continuing to look the data over, Dr. Hikari's eyes now fall the dark loid data that is listed. Looking over the dark loid data, Dr. Hikari now comes across Blademan's name.
"Here we are." Dr. Hikari says as he hightlights Blademan's name. Hitting enter, Blademan's entire profile now pops up on the screen.
"Blademan is a virus type net navi." Dr. Hikari begins reading. "His operator is Aaron Regal."
"Aaron Regal?" Everyone now speaks in unison.
"I didn't know Regal had a son." Dr. Hikari says in confusion.
"Me neither." Riaka says in confusion. (That's a first.)
"Hey wait a minute." Tori begins. "Since Aaron Regal is Baldeman's operator, then he's behind what's been going on lately and has been using Blademan to do it."
"Don't forget about Iceman's injury." Lan reminds him.
"Yeah, and Iceman's injury as well." Tori says.
"Dad, check to see if Roll's name is in that list." Lan requests.
Going back to the data, Dr. Hikari begins looking the list over once more and spots Roll's name.
"Yep, her name is in the list." Dr. Hikari answers Lan.
"If Roll's name is in the list on Tokyo Lane, then Maylu is there with her." Lan says with excitement.
"That's right Hikari." Chaud comments. "Now that we know where they are, let's move out."
"Time to take back what's mine!" Lan says with determination.
Lan's PET now begins beeping. Hearing the beeping, Lan grabs his PET and brings it into his view. Having the PET in his view, Lan notices the screen reads: One new message. Hitting the A button, the message appears on the screen reading:
'Lan, This is Maylu. Me and Roll are being held at Regal's tower on 1013 Tokyo Lane. Please hurry and love you. --- Maylu S.
Hitting the clear button, Lan places the PET back in the carry case.
"That is our official confirmation." Lan speaks. "Let's go."
Dr. Hikari hands Tori his PET as the five now exit the sector to embark on their rescue mission.
Regal's Tower
Maylu now hits the escape key and exits out of the window, having sent her message to Lan.
"Now to send a message to Tori." Maylu says to herself.
Maylu now hits the F3 key as another message window appears on the screen. Beginning her message to Tori, Maylu is unaware that Aaron has emerged from the back room with a box in his hands. Looking ahead of himself, Aaron spots Maylu at the computer.
"What is she doing?" Aaron asks himself as he sets the box down.
His curiousity getting the better of him, Aaron now begins walking slowly towards Maylu, tip toeing quietly to remain unheard. Continuing towards Maylu and now being close to her, Aaron looks over Maylu's shoulder and notices that she is writing an email. Feeling the anger rise inside of him, Aaron balls his hands into fists.
"She betrayed me!" Aaron speaks between his clenched teeth. "She put on that whole empress act just so I can release her and she contact Lan. She is going to pay for her betrayl!"
"Just what do you call yourself doing!" Aaron shouts, scaring the wits out of Maylu.
Having heard Aaron's angry roar, Maylu now turns around and spots one angry Aaron.
"What do you call yourself doing Sakurai?" Aaron shouts once more.
Maylu opens her mouth to answer Aaron, but is cut off by Aaron roaring once more.
"Save it!" Aaron shouts as begins approaching Maylu. "I should have known better then to fall for your empress stunt. You are going to pay for that! Wait, second thought, your boyfriend is going to pay. You thought I was going to make him pay before, but he's going to pay now more then ever!"
Now reaching Maylu, Aaron grabs her by her hair as Maylu releases a painful yelp.
"Now that you contacted that boyfriend of yours, you no doubt told him where you are." Aaron says as he yanks Maylu's face to his, just inches apart. "So, let's go get the welcoming committee and welcome him. Just let me contact Blademan."
Aaron now drags Maylu off as he grabs his PET from his pocket.
Cyber World NetWork
Roll and Blademan are continuing to travel through the cyber channel.
"How much further?" Roll asks.
"Not too much further." Blademan answers. "Just a few more----"
Blademan's sentence is suddnely cut off as a strong electric current now shoots throguh his body, causing him to fall to his knees. Noticing this, Roll is immediately consumed with worry.
"Blademan, are you ok?" Roll inquires with great concern.
Blademan's eyes flash a deep crimson as he now turns to Roll. Getting to his feet, Blademan begins approaching Roll.
"Blademan." Roll speaks with fear as she begins stepping back.
Now reaching Roll, Blademan grabs her right arm.
"Blademan, you're hurting me." Roll speaks, feeling Blademan twist her arm.
"You're coming with me." Blademan speaks in a demonic voice.
"Blademan, what's going on and where are you taking me?" Roll questions as Blademan begins dragging her off. "Blademan!"
Everything is coming to a close as a fierce battle is on the rise.
A/N: Ok, end of chapter 10. I am so sorry that this is so late being posted. The semester at the university started and I just recently recovered from a really a bad cold. So that's the story there. As usual no flames and if anything is confusing to you, let me know and I'll modify it for you at my earliest convience. I'll try to have chapter 11 out at my earliest convience. If nothing else, please review.
Review Please!
