Note: I have changed the name from Unwanted Evils to Evil Within. I feel like it fits the story better.
"Do you see him Roll?" Maylu frantically asked.
"No, I think he got away." Roll reported.
"Damn it!" Lan yelled. He kicked the wall of a building they were next to then sat down at the nearest bench.
"I'm sorry." Roll said with her head down.
"Don't worry Roll, you did your best. He's just frustrated." Maylu replied.
Maylu went and sat next to Lan.
"Those blade guys have gotten away four times already. Four! How do they get away so easily?
"I don't know Lan. But we will catch them sooner or later. Maylu assured.
The three have been chasing Blade down for the last month. Roll tried to fight them while Lan provided Maylu with his battle chips. Everytime they were unsuccessful, they slip away everytime. Maylu heard a grunt from her PET, she looked and saw Roll on one knee breathing heavily.
"You're pretty banged up. Let's go to Sci Lab and get you fixed up."
Roll nodded yes.
"Are you coming Lan?"
"Sure."
…
"The recovery process should only take a few minutes." Mr. Famous informed.
"Alright. Take it easy for a little while okay?" Maylu said.
With that the regeneration program began. Maylu looked around the room.
"Do you know where Lan is?" She asked.
"In his dad's lab." Mr. Famous answered.
"Okay thanks."
She left the room and went to the door of Dr. Hikari's lab. Before she went in, talking could be heard. She walked in to see Lan and his dad having a conversation.
"Could timing Maylu," Lan said when he noticed her, "We might have another chance at stopping Blade."
"Really?"
"Yeah, listen to this transmission."
Lan turned around to start the transmission. He took one step before tripping over a chair leg and face planting on the tile floor. Respectively getting laughed at by the other two in the room.
"Oh shut up." he pouted while rubbing his nose.
"Come on Clutz, you can do it." Maylu giggled.
"Ha ha" Lan replied.
He got up and pressed a button on a console. The transmission played over the loudspeakers.
"Tomorrow morning, head to Net City and destroy as much as possible - must draw them out and finish them."
Dr. Hikari pitched in, "this is all I could decode. It was quite easy to do, too easy. like the sender wanted us to hear it."
"Why would Blade want us to find them?" Maylu asked.
"Possibly a trap." answered Lan.
"Most likely." Dr. Hikari confirmed.
"I don't know what Blade is doing, but it is clear that they want you, and delete Roll, so I'd watch yourselves. If you do plan on stopping them, which I'm sure you do, get back up." He stated.
After a while of talking strategy, Lan Maylu left Dr. Hikari to continue his work. On their way home, a thought came to Maylu.
"Lan, didn't the voice sound familiar?
He looked at Maylu, "I was just gonna ask you that."
"I feel like i've heard the voice before, but I can't put my finger on it." He continued.
"Me neither."
The two reached their houses."Well it's something we'll have to figure out later, see ya Maylu." Lan said and turned on the pathway to his door.
"Make sure to ice your face!" Maylu called.
…
Once Maylu made it to her bedroom, she plugged Roll into the PC and played the transmission for Roll.
"That voice sounds so familiar." Roll said after the transmission ended.
"That's what Lan and I said," Maylu replied.
Roll began to ponder who that voice belonged to. It is so familiar, who could it be? A thought came to her, It couldn't be him. He's… gone.
Flashback
The colosseum is sinking, A blue and purple ball of light soared through the air, hitting each other, trying to defeat the other, Causing bright flashes of light. Everyone had escaped the place with their Navis. The only ones remaining were Lan, Chaud, Megaman, and Protoman, and Roll. Roll watched the battle in the distance, almost oblivious to the other things going on. All her friends fled the arena with their Netop's. Roll stood in shock at the sheer amount of power Megaman and Protoman possesed. With one last hit, the entire arena was engulfed in light, blind everyone inside and out of the sink N1 arena. The light lasted a good forty-five second. Once Roll was able to see again, she uncovered her eyes to see both Protoman and Megaman performing Program Advances. Roll clasped her hands together, Come on Mega! You can do it! Though she was thinking that, her worried expression told that she wasn't sure who would win. The two were almost perfectly matched. But she hoped and prayed that Megaman would win.
The two launched their attacks. Roll gasped as they were surrounded in a dome of swirling dust and debris. She could see and feel the blades making contact with each other. With one more explosion of light, it was over. Roll uncovered her eyes once again. Megaman and Protoman stood within feet of each other, looking at the other. Then Megaman stumbled and fell on his back.
"NO! Roll shrieked.
The count down hit zero, Protoman won the N1 Grand Prix. Roll began to run at them while Protoman helped Megaman up. She shed tears seeing Megaman's rival win.
"Watch out!"
Roll watched in horror seeing Megaman push his rival out of the way and taking a shot to the chest. His face froze in pain and shock.
"De..li...tion"
"Megaman data deleted"
"No… this can't be happening… no MEGAMAN!"
End Flashback
Roll lay in her bed, still baffled at how soft it is, even though she's been using it for a few months. Lately she hasn't been able to sleep, mostly paranoia from when Dark Megaman attacked her that one night. Also because of that voice the familiarity had her stumped, she knew she heard it so many times before. She just can't think of it.
She was half asleep, when she heard a sizable bang come from nearby. She contemplated going to find what was the cause, curiosity got the best of her. When she arrived to the Net that was right outside her PC, three Blade Navi's stood over some data, most likely their latest victim's.
Roll hid behind a nearby data cube and listened.
The three Navi's were almost impossible to tell apart. The only difference between them were different helmets.
"Do you think that pink Navi will come tomorrow?"
"Roll?"
"I know so, she came every other time.
"I hope so, we need to end her once and for all!"
"Remember the plan."
"Right"
Roll peaked over the cube she was hiding behind to get a better look. Which was a bad idea.
The Navi facing her direction glanced in her direction.
"Hey I see someone behind there." He informed while pointing at the cube.
Oh no, She stood up and ran in the other direction.
"Chase her!" she heard one of them yell.
Roll ran as fast as she could. She couldn't take on all three of them at once. A blaster shot hit the ground on the right of her and threw her off balance. She fell and rolled ten feet.
"It's Roll! Shoot her!"
Two of them shot, one going over her head and another landing next to her right leg. She sprung up and kept running. She looked over and saw a crack in a wall big enough for her to fit in but too small for the Blade Navis. She turned left dodging another shot and practically dove into the crack. Once in the passage went to the right allowing Roll not to be visible to the Blade members.
"She went in the crack!"
"But we can't fit."
"Can you even see her in there?"
"No."
"Just forget it, stick to the plan."
The other two nodded and they all disappeared. Roll peered down the passage and let out a huge sigh of relief. Now that it was safe, she returned to her PC, she saw the Maylu was still sleeping and decided not to tell her what just happened. So she crawled into her own bed and went to sleep, she was going to need it.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I have got the motivation to finish this story and maybe some sequels. Have a good day!
