Bass stared in shock at his legs-or, in this case, where they used to be. In their place were now glowing purple tendrils, with violet light almost pulsating through them. "What in Wiley's name?.." His eyes opened wide with shock.

Below him was an orange road, bright and cheerful, with navis running all around on them. Small, light bulb-shaped creatures zipped around, processing data. His eyebrow raised in question. Why aren't they running from me? Don't they know who I am? He ran his fingers down his face in frustration and despair. He suddenly though about where he was, and realized that he had absolutely no idea where he was.

Geo, in Wave Form, stood on the Wave Road at Echo Ridge, surveying the area, while Omega-Xis' head indiscriminatingly fired lasers and oncoming programs. BLAZZZZZT! He fired, and, he hit a Mr. Hertz on its side, knocking it off of the wave road, and onto the earth. Mega grinned maliciously, only to have it fade when he realized that the Mr. Hertz had floated gently to the ground, unscathed. He took a deep breath and looked up. His red, pulsating eyes almost became all pupil.

"Kid, C'mon, there's someone nasty over there!" He shouted, and began tugging towards the direction the "someone" was in.

"Wahhhhh!" Geo began to run in order to keep up with his right arm, which was speedily pulling him towards the person with purple tendrils across the wave road.

Purple Tendrils?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bass heard the oncoming sound of a navi's feet, and a voic shouting, "C'mon, C'mon! We gotta bust 'im!" He turned around and was face to face with his ancietn arch-nemesis, Megaman.

"Megaman?" His teeth began to grit, and his eyes glowed red.

"Well, I can answer that question, but it depends on your reaction." Geo almost stammered.

"I am Bass, created in 19xx, first solo operating navi to be released into the cybernet."

"Bass… where have I heard that name before…" Geo put his fingers on his head and thought a moment, and then came to a stammering conclusion. "It can't be… Wait, who was your Creator?" He asked, his eyes pleading for an answer.

"My creator," Bass sighed with reminiscence and disappointment. "Was Dr. Cossack, a brilliant man, and also the man who BETRAYED ME FOREVER."

"Dr. Cossack? What wonderful news! I actually have someone who would like to see you!"
