New chapter. Since someone has requested it, I'm putting in some new Megaman characters. Gammatron's characters belong only to Gammatron. Enjoy.
On the Way to HQ Part I
"Alright," Max said, hand to his communicator in his ear. "You guys just keep working on the teleporter. We'll start our way back. Just call us if you get it fixed before we get back."
"Sure thing, Max," Alia said from the other end of the communicator. "We'll see you guys soon."
"Ok fellas," Max said, turning to the people around him. "Looks like we'll be walking back for a few days guys. If they don't manage to fix the teleporter before we get there, it'll take about three to five days. With rest. So, we ready to get going?"
"Yeah, I guess," Naruto said. "I've got all my stuff packed."
"Same here," Sasuke said. The rest of the group all confirmed that they had all packed and were ready to head out.
"Farewell, my young friends," Blademan said. "May your journey be quick and safe."
"Thanks, Blademan," Megaman said. And with that, the group walked onto the road.

"Oh, my head," a boy with gray hair, a scar on his left cheek, wearing a black jumpsuit, a pair of red shorts with white rings at the bottom, what looked to be a red scarf of some kind with what seemed to be two plugs at the end of it, and an orange shirt. He looked over at a girl with light blue hair, wearing a similar jumpsuit as his, and wearing an orange jacket. "Hey, Ashe. Wake up." The girl moved slightly and then went motionless once again. "Hey, sis. Come on, get up. We need to figure out where we are."
"Leave me alone, Grey. Just let me sleep," the girl, Ashe, mumbled.
"Ashe, please," Grey said, shaking his sister's shoulder. "Come on, we've got to get up and moving."
"I said, let me sleep," she mumbled again.
Grey gave an exasperated sigh and placed his head in his hands. He sat there for a bit and looked around at his surroundings. He saw a town to the west of them and came up with an idea. "Hey, Ashe, I see a town just to the west of us. You know what that means? Warm rooms, hot showers and maybe even a casino."
Ashe shot up at the mention of a place that dealt in solely money. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go," she said, grabbing her brother's wrist and dragging him behind her.
"Hang on a second," Grey said, looking around once more. "Is someone missing?"
"No, who would be missing?"
"I don't know. Maybe Model A," a voice said from behind them.
They turned around to see a biometal behind them, two white spikes going off of a blue body, the face on the front, top half red, two blue eyes, the bottom half white. "Oh, right," Ashe said. "Sorry about that. Now come on, let's get to that town."

"Can we find someplace to rest," Netto whined, his stomach growling.
"Yeah," Lan said, sharing his double's feelings.
"What do the rest of you think," Max asked the others.
"I believe that recuperation will be beneficial to all of us," Sasuke said.
"Uh, what he said," Naruto said, not quite sure what it was that he had said.
"You have no idea what he's saying do you," Shinobi said, already knowing the answer.
"……. No. Not really," Naruto answered.
"He said that it would be a good idea to rest and relax," Kyuubi said. "Anyways, I'm with everyone else on this. Let's rest."
"Alright," Max conceded. "I'm pretty sure that there's a town nearby. We'll find a hotel and rest. I'm pretty sure there's casino there. Anyone wanna hit the slots with me?"
"Isn't there an age limit in that town," Megaman asked.
"Nope. None of the casinos in this zone have age limits. Just make sure you have plenty of zennys."
"Eh, why not," Kyuubi said, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm in."
"I believe that I'll come along as well," Sasuke said.
"Sasuke, why are you going," Max asked. "Wait a second, you can count cards, can't you?"
Sasuke gave a smile. "It's conceivable that I possess that ability. At least we'll be able to walk away with enough money to last the journey."
"No. You're not just gonna count the cards," Kyuubi said, realizing Sasuke's plan. "Don't you dare use the Sharingan. That's just wrong."
"This coming from the guy who cheated at I Spy, five draw, a sack race, the bet that we made awhile back, and took my money to pay for a candy bar," Shinobi said.
"…. Fine. Just try not to get caught doing it, ok," Kyuubi said. "Alright, let's find a hotel."
***
"Alright, here's your key," the desk clerk said, handing them a card. "Room 128. Sorry, but it's the last room we have."
"Why are you sorry," Max asked, taking the card. "Something wrong with the room?"
"No. But you and two other people who just arrived have a suite just across the way from you and both rooms are the closest to our loudest patrons in the history of this hotel. Listen, if you wake up to hear yowling, just try to ignore it as best you can, ok?"
"Ummm….ok sir." Max walked back to everyone else. "Alright guys, we're in room 128. The deluxe suite." They made their way to the elevator and when they made it into the room, they let their bags drop off their shoulders onto the floor. "Well, I'm gonna wash up and go to the casino in about two minutes. Kyuubi and Sasuke, you two might as well get ready to go."
"Alright," Kyuubi said, going to his bag and digging through it for a wallet.
***
"So, what to do first," Max said, looking around at the casino.
"I'm heading to the cards," Sasuke said, walking off.
"I suppose I'll go check out the individual tables and work my way around," Kyuubi said, heading off to the first table he saw.
"And that leaves me to go to the slots," Max said to himself. He headed over to the slots, choosing one and taking a seat. He put in 10 zennys and pulled the lever, the images moving. The first image stopped on a lemon, an apple under it. The next was an apple in the middle. The third was a cherry, but had an apple on the top. He got 100 zennys back for lining up the apples.
"DAMN THIS MACHINE," a voice yelled in his ear. He turned to see a light blue haired girl sitting next to him, wearing a black jumpsuit with an orange jacket over it, and was currently kicking the slot machine she was sitting at.
"You know, there's an easier way of playing that," Max said.
The girl shot him an angry glare. "Oh, and I suppose you know what that is."
"Actually yeah. Put 10 zennys into the machine and pull the lever." The girl did so reluctantly. "Now, it's just a simple matter of timing," Max said, moving his right hand up into the air. He hit the machine as the number seven crossed over the line, making the machine spin for two seconds longer than normal. All three columns ended up landing on the number seven. The machine, which didn't have enough zennys to give up for a jackpot, spit out a piece of paper with instructions to take it to the clerk at the front of the casino.
The girl took the paper, looking at it like she was dreaming. "How did you do that," she said, still not sure if she was dreaming or not.
"Trade secret," Max said. "Name's Max. And yours?"
"Ashe," the girl answered.
"Hey, Ashe," a voice called from farther down. "Check it out," boy with gray hair, wearing a jumpsuit similar to Ashe's, an orange shirt and red shorts, and what looked like a red scarf with two plugs at the end of it, was standing a little farther down, waving three jackpot tickets in his hands.
"Does everyone but me know how to do that," Ashe said. The gray haired boy came over, putting the tickets into his pocket. "Grey, how did you get those tickets?"
"I dunno," Grey said, shrugging. "Just luck I guess. Hey, who's this guy?"
Max held his hand out to Grey. "Name's Max."
Grey shook his hand, saying, "Grey."
"Interesting clothes. You two must not be from around here," Max said, taking a closer look at what they were wearing.
"No. Maybe you could tell us where we are," Ashe said.
"Do you want a town, country, or some other type of name?"
"Town, I guess," Grey said.
"You're in Kalo Town."
"Kalo Town," Ashe repeated. "Never heard of it."
It suddenly occurred to Max that these two might be more than just lost. "You're from a different zone, aren't you?"
"Huh?"
"Perhaps an explanation would be better then. Come on, we'll go find my friends and you can come back with us to the hotel we're staying at. It'll be easier to explain with more than just one person."
New Megaman characters have been added and now I've gotta work out how it'll go. Gammatron's characters belong only to Gammatron. Please Review.
