Roll stood in a large round room inside Castle Altaria. The room held a long table in the center and chairs all around. To the north and south walls there were two large double doors. One set was open wide; Roll stepped through and saw Megaman Omega sitting beside Dr. Cid.

"As I said Dr I will not allow you to…. Ah Roll how nice to see you, come in." said Omega realizing Roll's presence. Beside Omega was the Sage and beside him was the Black Knight.

"What do you want with me Omega!?" Roll asked spiting his name.

"Simple. I want Megaman, and with you he will come racing in here to save you. When he does, he will surrender and I will finally win. Then Count Farado and I will control the entire world and no one can stop us!"

"NEVER! Megaman will never let you win!"

"HA! Black Knight take her to her room. Make her feel comfortable, and provide whatever she wants, within reason that is."

The Black Knight walked toward Roll and allowed her to walk first. Megaman hurry…. Thought Roll as she was pushed thought the double doors.

------------------------------------------------

"I need a flight to Altaria Central!" said Megaman to the sturdiest at the air port.

"Alright, here's your ticket. Flight number six seven nine." She said as she handed him a ticket.

Megaman raced through the crowds and took his seat on the ship. Don't worry Roll. I'm coming….

-------------------------------------------------

"Damn that stupid boy!" cried Balthier as he returned to the city where he met with everyone else. They had found two weapons so far but now Megaman and Roll where gone. Balthier explained everything to the group and they all voted on racing after him.

The group ran into a large office where the Marquis of the city of Port Flarine stayed. His name was Marquis Gladure Baltom Flarine IX. He wore a long royal robe of brown and red. His hair was a salt and pepper mix. He looked tired in his age of forties, much more tired than many others of that age looked.

"Please Marquis we need a ship to Altaria Central!" cried Lan.

"Why?" asked the Marquis, who was a resistance member and would help any other part of the resistance, which Lan and the group where part of.

"Megaman ran off to the city to fight Omega and we need to stop him!"

"WHAT! That's suicide!" cried the Marquis

"I know sir. That's why we need your help!" said Vann

"Ok, this is a card key to the port, use this key to activate the ship, Flare, she's the fastest ship I own. She'll get you to Central in no time." Said the Marquis handing Lan a card key.

"Thank you." Said Maylu as they ran from the room.

------------------------------------------------------

Megaman got off the ship and looked around, Altaria Central was a huge city. Building towered over him as ships whizzed by transporting people all around. He ran toward a large group of guards who recognized him immediately.

"I want to see Lord Omega." Said Megaman to the captain

"Ah, Megaman, Omega has been waiting for you. Please come with us."

The castle was huge. Towers scrapped the sky and long flags draped the windows of each one. The stair and pathway of the castle was draped in an elegant blue and gold carpet. The castle was white marble with stained glass windows everywhere. Over the castle doors was the Dark Star insignia. Omega was inside and he had Roll.

Megaman marched into a large throne room accompanied by a group of guards. Standing at the end of the room was Roll. Sitting in the chair was Omega and beside him was Dr. Cid. The room was made of white marble, and north wall held a picture of Omega and the floor was draped with a blue and black carpet.

When Megaman entered the room the guards that followed him moved toward Omega. Roll smiled when she saw Megaman. Yes! I knew you'd come! She thought. Omega's expression was a devilish smile. He had Megaman right where he wanted him. stepped forward and began to speak.

"Welcome Megaman. I presume that you didn't bring any weapons, but just in case. Guards, search him!" the guards stepped forward and searched Megaman up and down and found no weapons. The guards then returned to their positions and waited for an order.

"You said that if I came unarmed and alone that you would release Roll." Said Megaman

"Yes your right. Fine take the girl." Said the doctor pushing Roll at Megaman. Megaman caught Roll and smiled at her as she looked at him.

"Now Megaman. If you will, please come here. We traded the girl, now it's time for you." Said Omega

Roll looked at Megaman filled with sorrow. "No" she whispered to him. Megaman smiled and looked toward Omega. Almost, as if the world was a giant shoot out, Megaman pulled his gun out and shot Omega, Omega shot Megaman. ran to the door as guards ran in. Suddenly in the chaos filling the room Roll screamed. Megaman turned to see her lying on the floor bleeding. She had been shot, and it was his fault.

Megaman grabbed Roll and knelt on the floor. Suddenly the guards that had entered the room, who now stood near Omega, turned their swords toward Omega. The guards removed their helmets to reveal that they were Lan, Maylu, Balthier, Fran, Ashe, Bash, and Vann. They kept their swords pointed at Omega so he couldn't move.

Megaman held Roll's head and began to speak to her, as tears streamed down his face. Roll was covered in blood from the gunshot wound on her chest. She looked at Megaman weakly and sobbed herself as she saw him crying. Roll was in pain from the shot, and Megaman was in pain just by looking at her.

"…..Roll… please don't die….." Megaman whispered as his tears fell upon Roll's face mixing with her own.

"Mega….." was all Roll could say in her state of pain. More blood flowed from the wound as she spoke. Lan and the others were all looking at the two of them sadly, they still had their swords at Omega.

Omega chuckled darkly, "How sweet…" he said disgusted. Balthier pointed his sword harder at Omega when he spoke.

Suddenly a strong force of wind shattered the windows of the castle. The winds filled the room and blew our heroes away from the throne were Omega sat. Omega stood and walked toward Megaman. Roll, weakly, lifted a small crystal into the air. A blue barrier surrounded her and Megaman. Omega backed away and a strong gale of black wind engulfed him. The gale subsided after a time and Omega was gone from the room.

Megaman picked up Roll and ran outside the castle with the others. When they left watched from the balcony.

"Run my little puppets, run! You won't go far. Soon Omega and I will raise Count Farado from his seal and this world will be MINE!"
