Megaman and friends sat in the ship ready for it to begin its decent onto the castle below. Roll looked out the window and saw thousands of ships firing at one another. It reminded Roll of when they fought Dark Star before.

FLASHBACK TO MEGAMAN: LOVE PAIN AND SORROW

"How did I live?"

"I brought you back. Once I kill you myself I can live forever. This land will soon be mine! Prepare to die by my blade!"

Nocturnes floated about the deck. Megaman grabbed his sword and readied himself. Nocturnes was much stronger than he was, he could tell just by looking at him. This is going to be hard. Nocturnes dived at Megaman. Megaman couldn't move fast enough and was hit, thrown across the deck and hanging onto the side to stop from falling.

"I have housed myself inside you for years Megaman. I have seen the lust, power, hatred, and greed the humans hold. Once I am done with this world it shall be purged of all these things and more. It shall be a perfect world, join me Megaman. I know that you have wished this to be so, a peace filled world of happiness. Once the humans are gone it shall be realized. Join me!"

"NEVER! I will kill you just like all those others who hurt my friends and family!"

"Hm, you care for those foolish humans. You do know what they will do when they have had their fill of you, don't you? They will cast you aside. Just like garbage."

"NO! They're friends, they would never do that."

Nocturnes could see that he couldn't win, so he played the last card of his deck, "What about Roll? Why all the humans are gone, the viruses will leave. Then you two can live together happily."

Megaman's pupils retracted; When I die he'll kill Roll! "DON'T YOU DARE BRING HER INTO THIS!"

"And why not? Oh yes that's right, you love her! HAHAHAHA! You two could never be together anyway, your too weak to defeat me, so how could you ever defend her?!"

Just as he finished this speech he was struck in the back by gunfire. Looking behind him he saw Roll,Lan,Maylu,Chaud,Dex,Protoman,Gutsman,Colonel,Samantha,Joshua,Olivia,and Jason.

"Don't you ever talk about me like that again!" said Roll as smoke carried from her buster.

END FLASHBACK

Roll sat watching the planes fight. A tear rolled down her cheek, she remembered when Megaman died, and doctor Hikari had to bring him back, and on her birthday of all days.

Roll looked over to Megaman. His face wore a blank look. He seemed sad, happy, mad, and scared all at the same time.

Suddenly a speaker came on and the group heard Joshua speaking, "We are now departing for Castle Feliray."

------Inside Castle Feliray-----

Megaman Omega and Dr. Cid stood watching as their army clashed with the resistance.

"And so it begins…." Said Omega.

"Yes, but will it be enough."

"It will be….we just need that girl."

A guard entered the room, "Sirs, I would like to report that a ship has landed in the gardens. Megaman and the girl have been sighted."

"Excellent. Escort our guests in…." said Omega smiling darkly.

-----In the Castle Feliray gardens-------

Megaman locked swords with a guard again and again as Roll fired her bow at them. Lan and Maylu were fighting a large man on horseback, while Chaud and Protoman fought a mage. The others ran toward the door killing others in their way. Other resistance members covered the grounds. Some were net navis, others humans with swords. Of course when a navi can become human it's hard to tell which ones which.

Megaman and the group ran through the double doors to the inner parts of Castle Feliray and split up. Group one: Megaman, Roll, Lan, and Vann. Group two: Balthier, Dex, Chaud, Protoman, and Maylu. And group three : Fran, Basch, Ashe, Joshua, and Gutsman.

Group One went upstairs, two downstairs, and three remained on the central level. This fight was about to get fun.

----------Group One --------------

Megaman and Roll ran faster than Lan and Vann. They ran at a extremely fast pace toward the throne room. They threw the doors open and saw Dr. Cidolfus standing before them, two large guns in his hands.

"Welcome to hell." He said shooting at Megaman.

Megaman dived to the left, missing the shot. Roll ran to a pillar and fired at Cid from there. Cid dodged the bullet and fired at Lan, who was struck in his right arm. Lan cried out and ran at Cid with his sword. Vann followed suit and ran at his as well. Roll unleashed a barrage of gunfire toward Cid as Megaman ran at him as well. A strong force bounced everyone back and Cid laughed.

"The Nero- Nethicite I hold is strong enough to keep the paling around me up for a thousand years. You'll never break it!"

Megaman and the others hid behind pillars as Cid fired at them. Megaman jumped and grabbed hold of a ledge above him. He pulled himself up and shot the pillar next to Cid. The pillar crumbled and fell onto Cid knocking his paling down for a short moment. The short moment was enough for Roll to fire at least ten shots at him. Cid screamed and the paling returned.

Cid shot at Roll and hit her hard. Roll fell to the floor, her right arm bleeding. Megaman winced at the sight and jumped at Cid. Cid fell back and the paling dropped. Megaman hit three good strikes on Cid before the paling returned.

"How does this keep happening!?" Cid screamed. "The Nethicite shouldn't be changing in and out like this! Only the eighth element can do that!"

Megaman swung again and the paling fell again. Cid screamed as Roll fired at him along with Lan and Megaman's constant slashing. Vann turned and began to fight with a group of guards who stormed the room.

Cid fell to the floor and looked at Megaman. "……only the eighth element can stop the Nero- Nethicite…. You must house the eighth element!"

"What is the element?" asked Megaman

"….love…." Cid said as Megaman impaled the sword through Cid's chest.

Roll ran to Megaman. Megaman wrapped his arms around her and Lan and Vann joined up to them. Then the group looked up and saw a staircase that hadn't been there before. They ran up it ready to fight Omega and Count Farado.

-----------Group Two----------

Balthier, Dex, Chaud, Protoman, and Maylu all ran toward a large figure they saw. The figure hung to the walls like a shadow. The group entered a large room with no windows. Once they entered the room the door behind them disappeared.

The shadow on the floor rose into a being. The being took form, it looked a lot like Megaman. It was a black armored version of Megaman. It had long white hair, black armor with a long red scar, and its face looked melted. Like a candle after it has been used. And one fully attached wing on the left, the right one was broken off.

"What are you?" asked Maylu

The being spoke in a voice that sounded as though it was recorded and played in reverse, "I am Megaman Nocturnes. Master of the Blue Shadow."

Maylu gasped along with Chaud and Protoman. Megaman Nocturnes was the one that killed Megaman. They were sure that Nocturnes died in the explosion, until now.

Nocturnes floated into the air and dived at Maylu. Maylu was pushed out of the way by Balthier who unleashed a long barrage of gunfire before being struck by Nocturnes and thrown across the room. Balthier landed to the floor with a loud thud. Dex and Protoman ran forward shooting gun and bow alike at Nocturnes.

Nocturnes turned and threw a ball of flame at Dex knocking him down. Chaud then ran at Nocturnes and pierced his left wing. Nocturnes remembered when Megaman destroyed his right wing. Nocturnes fell to the floor as a black gel, like blood, seeped over him. Nocturnes fired a barrage of fire balls at Maylu. She barely dodged them as they whizzed past.

Protoman and Balthier stood and fired at Nocturnes. A bullet struck his eye, an arrow in his arm. Nocturnes fell to the floor screaming. Maylu approached him at blade point, "How did you come back?" she asked.

"Count Farado brought me back. I brought Omega and Cid back. We three are to use the element of Love to resurrect Farado. So we brought Cid's world into yours so that we can capture Megaman and Roll. Once they show love for each other Count Farado will be resurrected and both worlds will fall into despair!"

"So your saying that if Megaman and Roll kiss, then Farado comes back?" asked Balthier

"They don't need to kiss…..a hug would do fine…… but probably saying that they love each other would be best. Don't worry though, you won't be there to watch them die. Because you won't leave this room alive. I still have the Blue Shadow virus in me!"

"NO!" screamed Maylu as she realized that now they would all die. The blue shadow virus attacked nerves in humans and destroyed them one by one causing great pain. For navis it instantly deletes them. But now that the navis were human they would experience the pain as well.

-------Group Three-------------------

Fran, Basch, Ashe, Joshua, and Gutsman all ran up a flight of stairs. They had all just fought two waves of fifty guards and needed to find the others. Suddenly they heard screaming coming from a wall. Gutsman reared back and smashed the wall. Maylu, Chaud, Protoman, Balthier, and Dex all lay unconscious in the floor. A blue mist surrounded them and the third group.

Fran ran to Balthier, Basch to Maylu, Ashe to Chaud, Gutsman to Dex, and Joshua to Protoman. Maylu lifted her head and looked at Basch, "the virus is spreading…….Megaman and Roll……separate them or….Farado will…….rise…….pleas-e…h-help…." She trailed off.

"Damn. Now the whole army will be infected by the virus!" yelled Ashe

"Let us hope that Megaman can kill Omega quickly….." said Fran.

-------------------Group One: Tower of Time-------------

Megaman, Vann, Lan, and Roll all looked up and saw that the tower they were ascending was enormous. All around them were painting of old kings and queens of kingdoms around the world. Finally after a long amount of time of ascending the tower the group reached a flat roof.

The tower was one of five separate towers. They were on the south side of the castle. To the north was the Tower of Space, east Tower of Life, west Tower of Unity, and in the center Tower of Love. Each tower was joined by a large bridge. Omega stood on the Tower of Love, a taller tower then the one our heroes stand upon.

The group ran to the east climbing to a flight of spiral stairs that grew to the side of the Tower of Love. They ran up the stairs reaching a large open area on top. However when Lan and Vann tried to enter the roof a barrier stopped them.

Megaman and Roll now stood alone on the tower. They looked forward and saw Omega wearing a long ceremonial robe. In his hand was a long blade. He looked menacingly at the group.

It was time to fight!
