A/N: I am finally getting onto the next chapter! But before that, I have a few questions for reviewers. Please answer these questions in your reviews:

1) What characters would you like to see appear in the story?

2) What characters would you like to see more of? Or less of?

3) Would you like me to merge another Megaman Series (aka, MMX, MMZ, MMZX, MMZXA) into the story?

Please answer these questions. If you don't care, well, review anyway for the heck of it.

The shocked group stared at the screen. Some were afraid, and some were angry. However, all of them shared the same worry for the man that had been kidnapped just minutes ago. The figure on the computer continued.

"I...am Duo. I have heard from my armies that your group has, in fact, tried to take them down. Although you have failed, you have proved that you have at least an ounce of power...which is why I'm offering this proposition for you all to join me. Make your choice.....join the winning side, and save the poor pitiful soul I have taken, or stay on the path you are on now....a path where you all will die..... Oh, and one more thing....Megaman...you think I killed your father, right? Well....if you do join, you will find something very interesting....."

No one made a sound as the the screen flickered to black. Maylu was first to speak. "What are we going to do?" "....What else is there to do?...We join," Roll replied, causing everyone to stare at her.

"There's no way we can win....Duo's to strong for us." Mega, Protoman, Maylu, and Chaud nodded grimly. Her eyes seemed to fill with darkness. "We should just let him destroy-" "NO!!" All in the room, including Roll, jumped. Surprisingly, Lan had been the one who yelled.

"Joining Duo is the same as just giving up! We all became a team because we all have the same goal, right? To defeat Duo. What happened to that?!" The entire group looked down.

"Chaud...Maylu...you two should especially be ashamed! Didn't we learn from our world? If we don't keep fighting, the same thing will happen here! Do you really want to see that again? Huh?!" He turned to Roll and Protoman.

"Roll, Protoman, you might have been human once, but you grew up here! You don't even have your memories back yet, right? So that means, to you, your only life was here! You're just going to let everyone die, even though they're your friends and family?!"

Lan walked up to Mega, his eyes filled with a fire no one had ever seen before. "And you.....you...should be more ashamed than anyone here. Hub didn't just give up. In fact, if I remember correctly, Hub had a disease that was killing him, day by day. He never lost hope. He was always fighting. Even when it got tough. So I don't know what crap in this world made my brother turn into this, but I intend to keep fighting even if you all don't!"

Having said all he wished to say, Lan walked out of the room. Mega kept his eyes downward for a moment, then looked up and ran after Lan. The others glanced at each other, thinking to themselves.

"This is what I was worried about....." A voice said, watching the scene from above. "They're breaking apart. If this continues....No. I have to act now. It may be a little too soon, but I have no choice now....."

Lan sat outside, watching as the wind blew, making the grass move in a wave like pattern. He sighed. "What am I supposed to do now? Duo has Dad....and is theatening to kill him unless we join him. Besides that, all of my friends are bailing out...." "All except one." A voice broke in from behind. Lan turned around to see who it was.

".....Hub...." Lan tried to finish, but found that he couldn't. The words wouldn't come. Mega walked up to him and sat down. "I'm...sorry. I had given up...but, I thought about it, and... you're right. I think everyone else knows that, too." Mega looked at the sky, watching as the sun set. "How are we going to stop Duo, though?" Lan asked, admitting his own doubt by doing so.

"That is a good question, Lan." The two looked directly in front of them to see a young woman with brown hair, and green eyes. She walked closer to them.

"Who are you?" Mega asked. "My name is Iris...." (Bet you saw that coming, Huh?) "and I've come to give you something." She tossed a small orb, no larger than your hand, towards Lan. As he caught it, it glowed strangely.

"That is called the 'Reality Changer'. If you use this....the space and time of this universe will change. It could make anything happen. For instance, it could change reality to a point where you don't exist. However...if you use it, you could gain an advantage against Duo. Not even He would remember a thing of this reality. Only the users would remember. Those users happen to be you two, Lan and Hub Hikari...."

After saying that, she disappeared. "....Should we...?" Mega asked catiously. ".....Not yet. I'm giving this place one more chance. If things become worse, then we'll use it." "...Ok."

I'm not going to show what will happen....yet. It's a short chapter because I am saving the next part to be by itself, since it will be a tad long.

Don't forget to Review...and please, FLAME MEEEE!!!!
