A somewhat happy ending.
I managed to peace together everything that happened to Teisel, Megaman with the servbots, and even Roll, Denise, and Glyde. Teisel and Bonne had apparently made their way through the Museum and while battling huge and strange reaverbots they managed to shut down some sort of gigantic super generator that powered the facility. Megaman on the other hand had a stream of bad luck after I left him with the servbots, apparently they were very hurt by my leaving them and while Megaman was battling Glyde some of them accidentally attacked him because they were so used to fighting him.
Glyde was defeated by Megaman though and he latter disappeared, I think he escaped. Roll and Denise after I had left them really got into a lot of trouble Leon returned with a large force of pirobots to try and capture them but thanks to the timely arrival of some mercenaries hired by Von Bleucher Leon was forced back near where Megaman and I were after I had saved him. At this point Teisel returned with Bonne to find that in the fighting the servbots had lost Megaman thanks to proto-X and Teisel sent them out to find me. After that they timely arrived to save myself and Megaman….I'm still interrogating them to see if any of them saw Megaman and I kissing.
[if Teisel ever found out, I'd just die of embarrassment…Megaman is supposed to be our enemy, I don't think Teisel would understand or even agree.]

"Teisel. I don't want see a doctor!" I whined as annoyingly as I could. Hoping I could change his mind.
"Tron! Stop your making us all look like children…besides it wasn't my idea, Von Bleucher thinks that it is best."
"But Teisel, we have never needed to see a doctor. And any ways I feel much better!" I lied sitting upwards in bed, though not without an audible hiss of pain.
"Well I think it is best…besides we never needed to see a doctor because we don't have medical insurance, now we might get some for free." Teisel muttered under his breath.
One of the Servbots came next to my bed. "umm, Master Teisel this doesn't mean that Miss Tron's brain is broken again, does it?" he innocently asked.
I smiled and answered. "no, I'm not going to suffer from amnesia again." I told the little servbot.
"…again? Tron, you have some explaining to do." Teisel demanded. "oh, I forgot, well Teisel after you disappeared I kind'a ended up in the hospital and well…I had some issues and I can say that I had one interesting adventure while you were gone." I answered to Teisel.
The door behind Teisel opened before he could ask the obvious questions of what adventure and how much did the hospital cost. Megaman and Roll both came through the door. I felt a little hostile towards Roll when I saw the way she looked at Megaman, but I suppressed the hostile feeling by reminding myself she's been my first and only real friend.
"so how are you doing?" Megaman politely asked.
"Teisel insists I see the doctor but I keep saying that I don't need to. just then a pain ripped though my stomach and I placed my hand over my stomach wincing in pain.
"Tron, don't lie…Teisel how is she doing?" Roll quickly insisted.
"Von Bleucher says she's not doing good but how bad I don't know." Teisel said in a sad voice.
"hmm, Von Bleucher was right behind us with the doctor maybe we can find out when he comes." Roll suggested. The door opened once again and this time Yuna and Sara came through. Sara came and looked at me and then turned her head towards Yuna.
"well she looks well being that she's supposed to dead right about now." Sara said in a uncaring tone. Yuna glared at Sara.
"Sara…Emotions!" Yuna snarled. Everyone else including myself gasped at this statement.
"D-d-dead?!?" I stammered. Yuna sighed and then stood next to me.
"it was part of my suspicion when I first saw you, but your surviving a blast of such power proves my theory. It appears that Proto-X had attempted to reinitiate Mistress Kiore's Carbon transformation program. I glanced at Teisel who looked both pale and completely confused yet again.
"ummm, and that means?" I asked.
"The program is beyond my knowledge so I can not quite tell you." Yuna answered.
"I happen to know this program did cause a conflict between the Megaman units of the Master and the Proto units of Mistress Kiore before her death." Sara then added.
"You said that my sister should be dead!" Teisel roared. "Tell me why!"
"She can tell you." Sara slyly said, with an evil little smile on her lips. Yuna and Sara then left the room quietly. Teisel then looked at me with a hard face.
"That's it your seeing the doctor no matter what!" he declared.
[Well there goes any chance of getting out of seeing Von Bleucher's doctor.] I bitterly thought. Then in a rush of activity Von Bleucher, his doctor, both came in. The doctor then shooed everyone out and gave me a complete check-up and investigated the burn aria around where I was shot.
After examining me several uncomfortable times over the doctor sat back and said. "Well Von Bleucher was right to have me check you, but you are pretty good shape for the size of the burn. You are healing faster than I have ever seen anyone heal from a burn that size, but I would advise you to not strain yourself for the next few months. If you do strain yourself you might increase the damage, some of these burns have probably gone into your stomach muscles and body fat and if you're not careful you may cause permanent damage. Considering the incredible rate of your recovery, though, I'd say you should take a long vacation and that would about do. I am going to prescribe a high grade burn ointment otherwise who can tell exactly what type of damage or tissue degeneration might be caused while not in hospital conditions." The doctor told me.
"Oh, really thank-you!" I said, surprised that I wasn't being forced into a three months bed rest period or some other thing. "Um, so why am I not being forced into bed rest? I've seen people in better shape than I am on T.V. forced to stay at the hospital." I asked, now curious as to why the doctor was being so nice.
The doctor looked at me and gave a slight chuckle. "well first T.V. always dramatizes things, second you seem be used to burns and hot temperatures, my third reason is because the astounding rate of your recovery, and finally it is simply because I understand you digger types even if I tell you to go on bed rest you'll find a way out of it." The doctor told me as he brought out a jar filled with some sort of gel.
"Now, this is the burn ointment, you simply rub it into the skin where the scars are. As time progresses if you forget the ointment you'll possibly feel a burning sensation, so I must emphasize this point, always keep the ointment with you and apply it regularly." The doctor told me.
"thank-you." I said with a big smile taking the ointment from him. Next the doctor packed his bag and left through the door.

Once the doctor had left everyone reentered the room. Von Bleucher quickly took advantage of this moment to speak. "Well you all seem to have gotten yourselves into a heap of trouble, haven't you? Tell me Teisel what are we going to do with you all?" Von Bleucher asked.
"Listen Bleucher, we are sorry for even caught up in this –business- but I can't see how you are going to decide our fate, not now that all those cops have to do is walk right in hear and cuff us." Teisel retorted.
Von Bleucher laughed politely and then retorted. "I have done my fair share of business involving both pirates and the police. I think I know what I can and cannot do. You represent a huge investment in my new business I can't have you behind bars, can I."
Teisel gave Bleucher a hard stare for a moment. "What do you want?" Teisel asked softly in defeat.
"Simple, I want you to use all of your prophets from my space business to repay the damages done by your pirate friends here, in return the police will let you slide…but only this once Teisel." Mr. Bleucher told Teisel.
"well that's better than the alternative…isn't it!" Teisel cheered, giving Mr. Bleucher a hug.
"ummm, I have a question. How did you all find this place anyways?" I then piped in.
"hmm? Oh, yes, you don't know do you? well Megaman was exploring a number of odd ruins that together worked like a map to this place, but we weren't certain that someone like Leon had actually found this place before us until his, your's and Glyde's ships all took the exact heading to this location." Von Bleucher replied.
The door to my room suddenly burst open and Denise rushed in shouting. "all right the gig is up you pirates are all under arrest!" Desnise then looked very confused and looked around the room a moment.
"Wait…Mr. Bleucher? And the Bonnes….and the Casket dig team? Alright what's going on here?!?" Denise demanded.
"ah, just in time Denise, we were just talking about you. I would like to introduce you to my investment and the developers of my space ship technology, Tron and her brother Teisel Bonne." Von Bleucher then cheerily explained and then walked up to her and took her outside to talk.
Roll looked at me with a sly smile. "it looks like your families luck just kicked in again, yet another adventure where the infamous Bonnes are not arrested. " She laughed.
"hmmm, I wonder what Mr. Bleucher is telling her?" I asked. Teisel then with a smile looked around the room.
"well tell me how bad would you all like to know?" he asked.
"Teisel!" I exclaimed, as he produced an earpiece for a spying device. Teisel then handed the earpiece to me as he, Megaman, Roll and #1 all huddled in closer to hear what was being said.
"But their pirates!" we could hear Denise insist.
"I'm not saying that, what I am saying is that I need you to let them slide this time, besides I suspect that no one here can remember seeing them actually at Atlantis island." Von Bleucher countered.
"well someone needs to be arrested." Denise persisted.
"that's right, and since Glyde managed to escape on his ship, and Leon escaped, I want you to head up a pirate hunting force that my company has been heavily investing in. I have had my share of pirate troubles and I've learned how to handle them. With you heading this team I think that the police may be able to reduce pirate based crime maybe 13% which is actually a lot when you think of it….so what is your choice?" Von Bleucher offered to Denise.
"I'll get them next time, I can wait, I guess…I've never been more than a low level police chief before." Denise figured. I then pulled out the ear piece to the listening device and smiled.
"hay Teisel looks like we had better show Denise a little more respect, she's a police pirate hunter now." I teased.

A day latter it was time for we Bonnes to leave. As I headed towards the Gesellschaft's gangplank, I could see #1 giving Roll her diary back and her giving him a big hug. I could also see #40 standing right behind Roll trying to pinch her behind, but being held back by some other servbots. Teisel was making sure that everything was in order on the bridge and Bon was loading the last of our stuff on board the ship. Megaman and I stood of in a corner to say goodbye.
"well I'll see you around Megaman." I began to say goodbye.
"yea….uhh, Tron, it was pleasant." Megaman then said.
"What was?"
"Your kiss." He answered slightly blushing. I gave Megaman a smile and then I hugged him tight.
"you know I think this is all just because the confusion…next time we see each other were enemies again…got it?" I told him
. "just like in Saul Kada?" Megaman retorted.
"Well just not so embarrassing." I replied in a rough laugh. I then started up the Gesellschaft's gangplank and as I walked up I blew Megaman a kiss which caused him to smile. I glanced over at Roll to see if the servbots had stopped pestering her. I could see that see that she saw Megaman's smile and was now frowning at him.
[score one Tron…] I thought to myself triumphantly. I then ran up the gangplank and all the way to the bridge.
Teisel was on the bridge waiting for me.
"well Tron, looks like we came out alright from this one…so lets get going on another –Treasure hunt!" he shouted in his usual cheery tone.
"ummm, Teisel… actually I have to take a vacation, doctor's orders, but you can go on one without me, I'll just bring #12 and #24 with me a Tron only vacation." I told Teisel with a large smile on my face, I loved it when ever I could do something without Teisel interfering, it made me feel more in control.
"Wait…a Vacation…how much is this going to cost?... hay! Why can't I come?!" Teisel then demanded to know.
"Simple because I said so." I retorted, slyly as I walked away waving my arm behind my back. Teisel then started to mutter to himself. A group of servbot suddenly came into the room. "
umm, Miss Tron, we were playing in your room and this box fell of your dresser and a bunch of photos came out." A servbot elected from the group told me.
[Box…what box….wait, oh no! my Megaman box!...I'll kill them!] I thought as I realized what box they were talking about.
" What were you doing in my room. Oooooh, I'll make you all wish I never made you!" I yelled as I started after the servbots.
"But Tron, why can't I go on the vacation?" Teisel yelled after me as I began to chase down the servbots.
Final notes
There isn't much more for me to tell you, well in this story at least. The robot voice in my head would continue to cause problems for me for much longer still, Glyde, Leon and that Proto-X guy all escaped and now were out there somewhere making new plans of their own. Megaman and Roll continued living together on the flutter like they had from childhood…and I would still be going on a number of crazy adventures where a little zenny and a pirate's courage would get you most of the way. But then again that is how things go my world.
