Dragge: Revelations of a Hero

[Dragge]

Chapter 14- Glyde

Dragge woke up on Elunia's couch. He was thankful for her hospitality. Dragge tried to get up but the pain all over his body kept him down. Dragge reached for the remote control to the television set and turned on the news.

There were random stories about fires, hit and runs, and robberies. This news station covered everything around the world so it wasn't local. Then the news reporter started talking about yesterday. Dragge turned up the volume to see if the battle of Ostasis was covered. It was and Dragge listened to ever minute of it.

"Yesterday a pillage on the small island Ostasis was thwarted by two unknown diggers. Two pirates had arrived on scene about three in the afternoon. Shortly afterward two diggers came running to the scene and put an end to the pirates. Exactly who these diggers are yet, we do not know. We will come back with that story when we get more updates," the lead male anchor stated.

Dragge muted the television and turned onto his back. The weather was going but he didn't really care about how it was supposed to be outside. It was a terrible day anyway. Dragge could hear the rain pouring down outside. He probably wouldn't be going anywhere for some time soon.

Dragge made another attempt at getting up and succeeded with a groan. He stood up and threw his robe on. His robe was nice and warm and was grateful for Elunia for she ran out almost all of last night and bought clothes for the two Elysians. Dragge quietly went into the kitchen. Protoman was sleeping on the other couch, he in long flannel pants. Protoman's armor was laying on the floor in front of the couch along with Dragge's.

Dragge turned on the coffee machine and poured himself a cup. It tasted bitter at first since he wasn't used to food but eventually found himself to like it and poured a second cup after he finished his first.

After a small wake up call, Dragge walked back into the living room and laid back down on the couch. Dragge turned the volume on the television back up a bit but was a little startled when Protoman stirred in his sleep. Dragge couldn't stay there any longer. He got up off of the couch and put his flam resistant suit on then his armor over it. He then proceeded to the back closed in porch.

Elunia had some comfy chairs on the enclosed porch and Dragge sat in one while looking at rain falling. It looked truly beautiful to him. Back on Elysium they had nothing like this. It was sunshine all around. This was something else.

Dragge looked at the door when he heard Elunia walk out. "Good morning Dragge," the woman said still a little tired.

"Hello. Sleep well last night?" Dragge asked looking back to the drops of falling water.

"Yeah I guess so. Running around last night took a lot out of me, but I'm fine. Why are you out here by yourself?" Elunia asked from curiosity.

"Protoman is still sleeping and I didn't want to disturb him. Besides this rain is amazing. Back on Elysium we have nothing like this. It's always a bright sun that "rises" and "sets"." Dragge said nothing more as he was mesmerized by the sight in front of him.

Elunia got up from the chair across from Dragge and put her right hand on Dragge's right shoulder. "Want something to eat?"

"No I'm good," he said. "I had some coffee this morning and I feel fine." Elunia smiled and went back inside. Dragge looked at her as she went into the house and disappeared from view.

Dragge was nodding off when there was a loud explosion. He was on his feet immediately and ran inside. He nearly ran over Elunia. "What was that Dragge?" she asked clearly scared.

"I don't know but I'm going to find out. Tell Protoman to come after me." Elunia didn't have to however because Protoman was behind him in his armor and prepared to fight. "Well if your ready then I'm ready Protoman."

Protoman nodded his head and the two of them ran off into the city. They saw immediately what caused the explosion. There was a large blue bird looking robot in the middle of the street.

Dragge had to flip his drenched hair out of his face just to make sure he was seeing right. He was and saw the blue bird-bot in the road. The robot then transformed into a more human figure. The torso opened up to reveal a young man with golden brown hair and brown and gold armor. He looked as if he were from a high status.

His smile was truly evil and Protoman could see it. The man in the machine spoke before either of the Elysians could. "You must be the two diggers I heard about from a friend higher up. Let's start out formally. My name is Glyde. How about you guys?"

Dragge and Protoman stared into each other's eyes and wondered what the guy was up to. They just decided to play along with him and gave him their names. "Dragge," replied Dragge.

"Just call me Protoman," Protoman said looking up at Glyde.

"Well this should be just swell," said Glyde's calm voice. "Let's get this on. First however, let's play a little game of tag." The robot went back to its bird form and took off into the sky and went in the direction of the Teratributan Plane. Dragge and Protoman sprinted off in a full run and caught up with Glyde's machine.

Dragge and Protoman engaged their blasters and aimed at the robotic bird. The bird went into its human form and went on the offense. Glyde started off with slashing the wings of the robot through the air. Protoman pulled out his shield and took the hit from one of the wings.

Dragge jumped the other one and shot at the torso knowing that's where the controls were. The robot fell back then came back shooting its machine guns located at the shoulders. Dragge was hit but it didn't do too much damage to him.

Protoman jumped into the air and latched himself onto the robot. Glyde tried to maneuver the robot in a way to get him off but nothing worked.

Dragge ran straight for the machine but was knocked away with a swipe from one of the wings. Protoman got his balance on top and started shooting straight down at the head. With his hands off of the robot, Protoman was eventually thrown off.

Glyde was ticked. He had gone through countless missions all of them flawless. Now he comes here to fight some common diggers and is loosing. "No more!" Glyde shouted. "Ultimate Glyde Laser!" The machine went into its bird form and took to the sky. Its beak opened up and shot out a huge laser.

Protoman and Dragge were thrown back from the force of the laser. Protoman had lost his shield somewhere along the fight and couldn't even try to get back up. Dragge was writhing in pain clutching onto his right arm. Dragge then made a bold move and tried to fire random shots at the robot. None of his shots connected.

Glyde had them cornered. His mission was about to make him two-million zenny richer. He fired the laser again and hit both of them again. Protoman's helmet was knocked off of his head and landed about forty feet away from him. He couldn't see and had no other choice but to just lay there.

Dragge was in a bad position as well and tried to hold back tears of pain as he stood up still clutching onto his right arm. His buster slid out of the panels on his left gauntlet. He shot once more at the robot and got a couple of heavy damaging shots in.

Smoke started pouring from the torso area. Glyde cursed at the quality in which the robot was built and flew off without another word. He had failed and Lex would surly yell at him for it.

Protoman tried to stand up but his partial blindness prevented him from doing so. Dragge fell in a pool of mud which covered most of his armor. Dragge then got up steadily and walked over to Protoman.

"Are you all right Protoman?" Dragge asked sitting down next to Protoman.

"To tell you the truth, Dragge, I'm not. I haven't shared this with many people but maybe my closest friends should know. I'm partially blind, Dragge. That helmet is the only way I can fully see. Don't try to ask me about getting some sort of eye transplant because I won't."

Dragge looked at Protoman's dirty scarf then noticed for the first time that Protoman's hair was jet black. Sure Protoman wasn't wearing his helmet that morning but he hadn't noticed his hair color. "Don't worry, I'll get your helmet." Dragge got up from his spot and limped over to Protoman's helmet. Dragge even stopped to pick up Protoman's shield.

Dragge got back to his friend and gave him the helmet. Protoman put it on then looked up at Dragge. "Thanks man. If it weren't for Trigger and his crazy ideas on cloning I don't know what I would have done."

Dragge smiled and held out his right hand for Protoman. Protoman grabbed Dragge's hand and pulled himself up. Dragge then handed Protoman his shield back. Together both of them walked slowly back into the city. Their armor was dirty and scratched up looking almost unrecognizable.

Together they made it back to Elunia's lovely abode and changed into some leisure clothes. Elunia brought them some warm coffee and wrapped up Dragge's right arm.

Dragge finished his coffee and went to sleep on the couch. His mind was only on one thing before he went to sleep. 'When will Megaman come back?'

[Dragge]

Chapter 15- A Relationship Forever

Dragge was alone in Elunia's living room. He had been on the computer looking up Terra's traditions and history. Dragge looked up at the blue walls while he waited for another site to load.

Elunia walked into the room and put her hands on Dragge's shoulders. Dragge stole a glance back at her. "What are you up to?" came her sweet and gentle voice.

"Taking a look at Terra's traditions and history. I figured if I were to live here then I have to catch up on everything." Dragge's page came up and he scanned over it in a matter of seconds. Then another window came up. It read "Visit Legends-Station.com! Powered by Legends fans and created by forum member fAB." Dragge clicked the close button. "That looked terrible. Maybe I'll look at it later.

Elunia turned Dragge around and brought his face close to hers. Their lips locked together for a matter of seconds. Elunia pulled out of their and blushed. "I shouldn't have done that," she said shying back.

"No its fine with me. That was a kiss right? A sign of affection to the opposite gender?"

Elunia looked down at the carpet then replied sheepishly, "Yeah it is. Dragge I have to ask you something. Do you like me?"

"Yeah of course I do," Dragge replied staring into her beautiful eyes.

"I mean do you really like me?" Elunia asked trying to get more out of him.

"I do Elunia. If I could I'd spend the rest of my days with you." Dragge turned back to the computer monitor and went back to researching his history. He found that a lot of Terra had changed since its creation. There used to be nations connected into large landforms. Now there were about seventy islands floating in one spot for the rest of their existence. There were two that were covered by a black shading.

Dragge looked closer at one of the islands and found it to be Forbidden Island. The other one he had no clue about. Dragge logged off of the computer and walked out into the city. Protoman was out in the ruins trying to scrounge some money together. They hadn't had the time the week that they had been there.

Elunia quietly walked up behind Dragge. She had a question on her mind and needed to ask it to Dragge. She was about to ask when Dragge started to talk before her. "You want to propose a marriage to me?" Dragge asked as if he all ready knew her question.

"Yes I do," Elunia said walking out from behind Dragge. He stared deeply into her eyes. "How did you know?"

"Your questions were too obvious. I had researched nearly everything earlier today and marriage was one of them. I'll accept your proposal if you really want it."

Elunia looked up at him with tears forming in her eyes. She ran up to Dragge and hugged him with great force. Dragge nearly fell over and returned the gratitude. He thought about all that he had to do to get ready. There were a lot of preparations to get to: ordering a cake, getting a ring, getting the proper suit. Dragge was calm and waited for Protoman to get home to give him the news.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three weeks later everything was set up. Dragge and Elunia were at the local church getting ready. Protoman had retained his armor for his personal issues. He was also Dragge's best man.

Dragge was standing in front of the podium and Reverend who would be doing the ceremony. The music started up and Elunia came out from one of the doors near the back. She walked up to where Dragge was standing. The two of them went through all the motions: exchanging rings, saying the vowels, and eventually the kissing of the bride.

Dragge then picked Elunia up in his arms after it was over and carried her out to his car. "Remember this from a month ago when you helped carry me to the hospital?" Dragge had to say no more as she smiled right away. He put her down and opened up the door to his car. He shut the door for her and went around to the other side where he got in and started up the car to drive away. They would truly be happy for the rest of their lives.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No one saw him but there was one more person witnessing the whole event. That is if you could call him a person. He was more of a spiritual ghost. His long golden hair was waving in the summer breeze. He wore a long white skirt of an item and a blue shirt.

The man watched the whole thing happen and was happy for his good friend. "Good job Dragge. I'm glad your able to live among Terra and its people. You still have a mission to accomplish so don't forget," the man said aloud even though Dragge wouldn't be able to hear him. The man turned to leave but said one more thing. "Find Megaman Trigger." With that he was gone from the site going back to where he can watch the years pass by.

[Dragge]

Chapter 16- 14 Years Later

Fourteen years had passed since Dragge and Elunia got together. They had a son that same year and named him Drifter. He was thirteen now and was in his final years of middle school.

Dragge had become a full time digger and Elunia stayed home. Protoman was living in a place of his own. Protoman was a famous lawyer and never lost a case. In his spare time he went into the ruins with Dragge for old time's sake.

The years came and they went each one passing without any word of Megaman. After a few years Dragge had forgotten all about his mission. That was until one winter night he was snug in his bed next to Elunia. Dragge had been dreaming pleasant dreams until one came to mind.

Dragge woke up in blackness. He couldn't see anything except for himself. Then a voice came to him. "Dragge, the time is now. Your mission is starting up again," the voice said. Dragge recognized the voice but couldn't remember who it came from.

"Who are you?" Dragge asked looking around him trying to find where the voice was coming from.

"I can't believe that you've forgotten. Even after fourteen years." A white light flashed in Dragge's face. When he could see again he saw one face that he can't forget. It was Megaman Trigger as Dragge last remembered him.

"Megaman. Your back? After all this time I did forget about you."

Megaman looked at Dragge and walked closer but still stood about ten feet away. "Yes I'm back, in a sense I am. It is up to you and Protoman to help me finish my mission. First you need to go to Kattelox Island as soon as possible."

"Why there? It's a small place on the map."

"Is Ostasis any different?" Megaman countered.

"I guess not. Anyway why there?"

"I'm there. Like I said in a sense. When you get there you'll find me but you won't find me."

"I still don't understand what you're saying!" Dragge shouted. "Even though I forgot about you for many years I still don't understand what you say. I'm even your clone! Tell me what you mean!" Dragge was about to blow. If Megaman wouldn't come clear he would lash out at his creator.

"I can't tell you my friend. The sun is rising and you need to pack for the trip. Get to Kattelox Island immediately for I fear that I won't be there long." Megaman disappeared from view.

"Megaman!!!" Dragge then woke up. He looked at his clock which read six thirty in the morning. He sat up in his bed and put his legs over the side. Dragge was replaying the dream in his mind. First he would call Protoman and tell him about what they had to do. Then he would get ready for the journey and take off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yeah sure I understand everything. I'm getting ready right now Dragge." Protoman said talking into the phone. "Yes Dragge I do know that we need an airship and I'll get one for us to keep. Slow down... no Dragge your talking too... all right Dragge I'll see you soo..." The connection broke. Protoman turned off his cell-phone and tossed it in a bag. He equipped his armor and put some extra clothes in the bag that would last for quite some time.

Protoman's mansion was amazingly large. He had been living in it for the past four years. That job as a lawyer had paid off in the end. He even had private servants that took care of the house while he was gone sometimes on business. Protoman finished packing and went to his loyal butler. He handed him a key to the house. "Take care of the place while I'm gone Jerad."

The young man responded with a smile. "Will do sir. Going away for business again?"

"Yes but it's personal business not a lawsuit or anything. Tell anyone that calls for me to call Max my lawyer in training. I trust him enough to take some of the cases."

"Yes sir. Anything else?"

"If I'm not back for a while, throw out rotten food and buy some more for yourself. Also keep the place up and running. Exactly how long I'll be gone I have no idea. I may call periodically so expect at anytime."

"Will do Master Protoman." Protoman shook Jerad's hand and with a smile was off to meet Dragge. Earlier that day he bought a ship that had everything they needed. It had good weapons and was small enough to hold only necessities. It contained one bedroom with two beds, a kitchen, the bridge, a bathroom, then the engine room underneath.

Protoman left his house and got in his Audi R8. He took off down the paved road and out through the front gate. He looked back one last time and wondered how long it would be before he would see his house again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge was finished packing. He had clothes that would last a month or so and his armor. Elunia was watching everything that he did. She was devastated to see him off so suddenly.

"Was it something I did?" Elunia asked with tears streaming down her face.

Dragge had said nothing the whole morning but finally got up the strength to talk to her. "It's nothing that you did babe. Remember how fourteen years ago I told you about Megaman Trigger and how it was my mission to get him back to Elysium?"

"Yes I do."

"He's back. I got word that he's on Kattelox Island. I'm heading there with Protoman and we're getting him to Elysium."

Elunia just looked at Dragge speechless. She couldn't respond to any of that. Dragge walked over to her with a small sheet of paper in his hand. He handed it to Elunia. "When Drifter gets older, give him what's in this space." Dragge was about to walk off when Elunia spoke again.

"It's a suit of digger armor isn't it." Dragge said nothing but lowered his head. Both of them knew it was. "I'm not letting my only son become a digger. Dragge you know what it's like working in that field. Besides he's going in to become a lawyer and work with Protoman."

"I know he is. He knows how to fight too." Dragge's head never came up from its lowered position. He did turn it back a little though. "If something happens while we're gone and we can't protect the island give the suit to him. It's like mine only white. I hope it comes in handy." Dragge turned around and looked at Elunia. He walked over to her and the two of the kissed slowly and embraced each other for what seemed like forever.

It had to end and they both knew it. Dragge picked up his bags and left for the door. "I'll see you again Elunia. I promise you that." Protoman's Audi R8 came up to the front door and the horn beeped. Elunia waved to Protoman she looked one last time before going inside and shutting the door behind her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge threw his bags in the back of the car next to Protoman's then climbed into the front seat. Protoman took off for the docking area where their new ship was waiting for them.

It didn't take them long to take the main road all the way to the docking bay on the north side of the city. They got there quickly and signed out their ship. Dragge was amazed at it. It was all yellow except for a black stripe down the middle. Dragge later dubbed it the Yellow Jacket.

Protoman and Dragge got into the ship and settled into the bedroom. They put their things in the separate dresser then went to the bridge. Protoman's car was in the extra space underneath so he was relived at that. Protoman started up the Yellow Jacket and it took off for Kattelox Island. They were headed North-West. The ship rose into the air and Protoman punched it to as fast as it would go trying to make it halfway across the world in record time.

[Dragge]

Chapter 17- Kattelox Part:1

The sleek and yellow ship reached Kattelox by noon. The ship touched down in a part far off from the city in the Cardon Forest. There was a large spot in the Cardon Forest but they both decided to have their ship hidden just in case someone came by and questioned the ship. The ship settled down and the engine shut down. Dragge and Protoman made their way to the door and left to go out into the forest.

It didn't take much time to find their way through the lush green trees. Kattelox was located in the high north of Terra so is stayed beautiful year round. Dragge and Protoman made it to the Cardon Forest and continued on to the city. First however there was a small market area where numerous goods were sold. Some electronic stores, two bread shops, and a few other places.

They enjoyed walking by and the people that lived here going on with everyday life. A little girl in a green dress playing with her little white dog. The thing looked harmless even though it went around barking the whole time. The two searchers of Megaman went up to the northern gate. Apparently you needed photo identification to get through. Dragge swiped his I.D. through and it let him through. Protoman followed right behind.

The Downtown area wasn't much of a site but it was quiet. There was a large library and numerous houses on every block. Dragge and Protoman continued on. They saw more people walking around going on like nothing was happening, as if they had lost their minds to the clear blue sky.

Dragge and Protoman went in separate directions trying to see if there was more to the city. They found that the West and East gates were closed off due to police orders. They then met up at the North gate and went through to City Hall. Up there was the main business resident of Kattelox. It contained the bank, police station, City Hall, and a few condominiums. So far neither had found Megaman.

Dragge turned around and walked over to the fountain that sat across the street from City Hall. Dragge went in front of the fountain and sat down. He dangled his feet over the side and looked at the cars driving by. "What if Megaman isn't supposed to be here?" Dragge asked rhetorically.

"Don't give up hope yet Dragge. The day is only half over and Megaman could show up at anytime." Protoman stayed standing and looked in the same direction as Dragge. "Thank goodness for this visor of mine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see what you see Dragge. In fact I wouldn't be here right now. I would probably have died years before you were created."

Dragge took in Protoman's words. Not just literally but figuratively as well. "Your right Protoman." Dragge stood up and faced Protoman. "I've been blind for quite some time. I forgot all about Megaman. I had given up all hope that he would be found again. Now I can see again and I know that we will find Megaman and we will get him back to Elysium!" Dragge exclaimed pumping his fist in the air.

"That's the spirit Dragge!" Protoman said slapping Dragge on the back. "Let's head back to the ship and see if we can do anything while we wait."

Protoman and Dragge were walking back to the Yellow Jacket when Dragge ran into a kid in blue digger armor. The kid could be no older than fourteen or fifteen. He was about Dragge's height and figure. He had dark brown hair and bright green eyes. "Sorry sir," Dragge said apologizing.

"Oh no problem at all. I guess I was in a rush," said the male voice.

Then it hit Dragge like all those shots he took with Megaman back on Forbidden Island. "Excuse me, but would you happen to know a Megaman Trigger?" Dragge asked hoping that all that time they spent in hiding would pay off.

The kid's eyes went wide as the person in black said his first name but his eyes went small again as he said the last name. "Sorry I don't. My name is Megaman Volnutt but I'm not the person you're looking for am I?" Megaman asked.

"No I guess not. If you need anything find us. I'm Dragge and this is Protoman," Dragge stated.

"Thanks. Well nice running into you guys." Megaman turned and ran off toward City Hall. Apparently he had business to do there.

Dragge and Protoman watched him as he ran off. When he went through the gate they turned back around and went in the direction of the Cardon Forest. Dragge was the first to talk between the two of them. "You do know that it was Megaman we ran into? Don't you?"

Protoman nodded his head and responded, "Yeah it was him. Don't forget that resetting a unit's parameters flushes its memories."

"I almost forgot about that part. After all of these years, he still has that persistence in his eyes." Protoman agreed to that. They walked off to the Cardon Forest to rest for a bit.

A little while later they saw a group of small ships flying over the city. Dragge got up off of his back and started for the city. Dragge turned around to make sure Protoman was coming. He was putting his shield on his back. "Something is up so let's get going." Dragge and Protoman sprinted as fast as they could to get to the city.

They reached the Apple Market and noticed that everyone was closed except for the junk store. They were about to the leave the gate into the city when a young girl of about fourteen ran into them. All three of them fell over. Dragge looked up and saw her. She had long blond hair with green eyes like Megaman's. She wore nothing but red. There was a little black too but that was a secondary color. She wore short red shorts and a short red shirt. Underneath she had some sort of black cloth to cover more areas. The rest of her clothes were red too.

She looked up and saw who she ran into. "Sorry for that. Just a little rushed today." She got up, brushed herself off, and ran to the Cardon Forest.

"I wonder who that was?" Protoman asked.

"We many never know," Dragge replied. They both got up and walked through the gate. Two police officers were standing there trying to keep people from entering.

Dragge and Protoman respected their authority and turned around in the opposite direction. They were told by the police that pirates had attacked the island. The two of them went to the junk store and watched events unfold on the small television set that they had in there.

They both watched as Megaman shot robots left and right making sure everything was left unscathed. Even though he wasn't the same Megaman as fourteen years back, he still fought the same way.

[Dragge]

Chapter 18- Kattelox Part:2

It was all over. The group of pirates had been defeated for now. Megaman was currently on his way to the Cardon Ruins. He had no idea what to expect from the ruins but he had to go anyway.

Dragge and Protoman watched as Megaman entered the ruins. "So the blond girl is really a spotter for Trigger," Protoman said. "He's lucky to have such a good spotter. That's the way things work in this world. If a digger has a good spotter then he or she will usually succeed."

Dragge stood there silent then nodded his head. "So we watch Megaman for a while?" Dragge looked over at Protoman waiting for an answer.

It was a while before Protoman came up with a response but it was worth the wait. "Not all the time. The ruins he can handle. We don't have to watch him until he reaches the Main Gate. Until then we have no part in watching him."

"When will he unlock the Main Gate?" Dragge asked.

"Who knows. It may take him time, or he could go straight for it. That's up to him and him only. Come on Dragge. We have over stayed our welcome in this spot. Let's go check out the rest of the city and see if we can spare some time." Protoman walked on top of the cliff going in the direction of where he came.

Dragge stayed there thinking back on how Megaman used to perform in battle. He had finished fighting the pirates where the Kattelox Police Force couldn't. He had true guts. He landed on an island that had nothing to do with him and still stood up for the people. "No that's not true," Dragge said to himself, "this island does have something to do with him. Here he will start his journey back to who he really is. Fourteen years ago he lost his memory because of Sera. Now he will regain it after a period of time. Starting with Juno."

Dragge finally turned around and left the scene too. Protoman had waited for him before continuing any further. "Why are you always the slow one, Dragge?"

"Don't know," Dragge said laughing, "I guess I like to take the time to think things in more detail. I don't always have to think what you think. I have a free will remember? That's why Megaman almost terminated me all of those years ago. He could have won that battle against us. Fortunately Sera showed me the armor that would eventually lead me to my name."

Protoman shook his head and took off his helmet. Protoman then sat down in the grass and felt the breeze against his face. "Sometime, Dragge, your over-thinking may lead to your demise. I'm not saying this in a threatening way but as a warning to you. You can't always hesitate in life. Sometimes hesitation isn't the best option." Protoman but his helmet back on and looked up at Dragge. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I do Protoman. If I had only a few seconds to save someone I wouldn't have the time to think things through. I would have to act immediately." Neither of them said anything afterward. They just stared out onto the beautiful plane that laid before them. The cool mid-summer air blew Dragge's hair into his eyes but he didn't care. There wouldn't always be a time to do something so simple. There wouldn't always be a time of peace and quiet. Most of the time that wouldn't be like that would be of fighting and destruction.

Dragge sighed and spoke after sitting there for about two or three minutes. "Should we get going Protoman?"

"Yes we should. We need to spend time elsewhere. I heard there's a television station here called K-TOX. Let's head over there and see what they do," Protoman said.

The two of them went over to the K-TOX station. They sat down in the lobby and watched the news that was currently playing. "Let's take us to our current news at five," the main anchor said looking at his script. "Today an infamous group of pirates known as the Bonnes attacked the island at two in the afternoon. They were about to take over the island when an unknown teen in blue armor came to the scene." A video started playing of Megaman fighting off the Bonnes' machines. Each one went down with a few shots of his buster.

"As shown here the kid fought single handedly to save the island. As of now we do not know whether or not if the Bonnes will return. We do have speculations that they will. Coming up after the break..."

Protoman got up from the couch. Dragge looked up at him. "What are you doing?"

"We can't just sit here. Maybe we should follow Trigger. Sure this is his battle but just so we can watch his movements."

Dragge smiled as he nodded his head. "If you want to I will to. Let's go. He should be at the Lake Jyun ruins by now." Dragge stood up and the Elysians walked out together. They made their way to the boat docks. They got there and asked for a boat but the man in green said that all the boats had been taken and the only one that worked was taken by a young blue teen and his girlfriend.

Dragge and Protoman then proceeded to the dock and saw a battle unfold. They couldn't see the battle itself but they could tell that something was happening due to numerous explosions. The explosions stopped and they both thought that Megaman had finally entered the ruins. They left the boat dock and went back to the city.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day Dragge and Protoman followed Megaman to the Main Gate. The previous day Megaman went into the Clozer Woods ruin and opened the Main Gate. He was in for a shock.

"What's next Protoman?" Dragge asked after Megaman fully entered the Main Gate.

"Go off to Downtown. Watch the block closest to the North Gate leading to City Hall. If my calculations are correct, Trigger should unlock the sub-cities. The homes of the Prototype Anthro Units created by the Elders. He's all ready disturbed the homes of the Elders' work. Now he's about to go into the most dangerous and fight some of the most powerful reaverbots. Such as the Gai-nee Tooren."

Dragge accepted Protoman's orders and went to Downtown. Protoman then went off to Uptown, the home of the Gai-nee Tooren. That thing had to have been walking around down there forever.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It happened and not too much later. Dragge saw the entrance to the sub-city appear from underground. It was nothing more than a black rectangular structure that contained one opening. Protoman came rushing out to meet up with Dragge. "Hurry to the Old City Dragge!" Protoman exclaimed not slowing down.

Dragge's foot jets activated and he took off for the East Gate. Protoman and Dragge entered. On the other side Protoman and Dragge saw an enormous robot walking around fighting the small figure of Megaman. Megaman was jumping around dodging large missiles and even bigger plasma shots.

"Megaman's in for a rough time," Dragge said looking at the monstrosity that stood before Megaman. "What should we do Protoman?"

"Nothing. This is Trigger's fight remember?"

"He's fighting against pirates not reaverbots." Dragge watched in horror as Megaman took a hit from a plasma shot. "That's it I'm going in!" Dragge's helmet and face mask formed around his head. Out of his fingertips shot the small laser blades that created his claws. Dragge's jets ignited and shot him off. Simultaneously Megaman's buster shots connected with the mid-section of the robot and so did Dragge's claws slicing through the robot.

Dragge landed on top of the North Gate and watched as a blinding light came from the explosion of the robot. Dragge and Protoman's eyes were both shielded from the light. After that they watched the pirates walk off after talking to Megaman for a minute. After a small conversation, Megaman entered the sub-city that sat before him.

Dragge looked over to Protoman. Protoman was laughing and shaking his head at the same time. Dragge went back over to Protoman to see what's up. "You never listen do you Dragge?"

"Like you said, sometimes you can't hesitate." Protoman had to laugh at himself at hearing Dragge use his own logic back at him. Protoman put his hand on Dragge's shoulder and both walked off to watch events unfold.

[Dragge]

Chapter 19- Dagger

Megaman was gone. That didn't mean that Dragge and Protoman couldn't find him however. Earlier that day they had planted a tracking beacon on the Flutter. Now they could find out where Megaman was whenever they left the next day. That previous day had been pretty hectic.

Megaman went through all three sub-cities without much trouble. Afterward he went back to the Main Gate to fight down Juno. Dragge and Protoman both knew when Juno was awakened and when he died for the massive energy cannon know as Eden fell from one of Elysium's satellite stations and prepared for the purge of all carbons on Kattelox. Dragge and Protoman would have been fine but everyone else on the island would have been wiped out.

Megaman had left shortly after coming out of the Main Gate and he left from Kattelox Island. The only reason why Dragge and Protoman stayed was that they didn't want to cause too much of a commotion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge stirred in the middle of the night. He could feel that something was wrong. He didn't know what it was, but he knew that it was happening. He got up in a cold sweat and looked around. Everything seemed normal at the time.

Dragge took a quick look around the room. Protoman was fast asleep and looked fine. Finding nothing, Dragge tried to go back to sleep. He had troubles though. There was a cold air in the room. Dragge looked around again and thought that the notion was preposterous. There were no fans running and no air conditioning at all. Something was up and Dragge was bent on finding out what it was. He got out of his bed and went to the door. He had noticed that his armor wasn't on its display. "Maybe it's on the couch in the living room," Dragge said to himself still a little tired.

Dragge walked into the living room and saw nothing. Curious he went back to his room and put his clothes on. Dragge chose blue jeans and a white shirt. Dragge then proceeded to leave the Yellow Jacket and check outside. The air on Kattelox at night was cool and refreshing. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Dragge crept forward looking in all directions. He thought that he heard something, but just waved it off. He continued north to the city.

Dragge and Protoman had moved the Yellow Jacket up to where the Flutter was once located. They didn't care if the ship was in plain sight. They would be leaving in the morning. Dragge stopped at a certain spot before the underground caverns. There was something following him and he felt it. Dragge spun around but saw nothing again. Dragge turned around in the direction he was initially walking. "All right whoever you are! Show yourself!" Dragge shouted taking up a fighting position with his fists clenched.

Out of the shadows came a large figure. Dragge was taken back by the sight and nearly fell over as the monstrous being floated above the ground. Dragge couldn't believe it. The hulk was his armor. It was now marbleized with red and black. The "D" in the middle was still there but it was hardly recognizable. The helmet had taken on the form of a head of course.

In another sense it wasn't his armor. First thing that Dragge noticed was that it had no feet at all. It just had a large tail from the formation of the two feet. Another difference to the armor were the wings on either side of the shoulders. The final difference was the large dragon-like head and face. It had large sharp teeth with flaring nostrils. It opened its mouth to talk. Its voice rumbled as it talked. "I am Dagger. I was created by the Elders long ago as an armor take-over program. I had been searching for years for the right Elysian armor to take over. Once I came across your's, well my destiny was settled."

Dragge could say nothing. He was still in shock. An armor virus that literally could take over armor and become a living being. "I see that you're still in shock Dragge. Well don't worry because you won't be for long." The large dragon lifted both arms only equipped with the laser daggers. It swung one arm at Dragge and missed. Dragge rolled in the opposite direction from the way the claw was coming. Dragge stood up and jumped up into the sky to get this thing messed up in the head.

It had no effect though. Dagger hit Dragge hard and Dragge flew through the sky. He hit the ground hard and tumbled for a couple feet. "This is wicked," Dragge said out loud. The dragon came closer to Dragge and went for a swipe with his tail. A shield came from the sky and Dragge knew it was Protoman.

Dragge looked up into the air and saw Protoman on top of the Yellow Jacket. "Grab the shield and come on Dragge! We're getting out of here!"

"Roger!" Dragge grabbed the shield out from the ground. Before heading to the Yellow Jacket, Dragge held onto the shield and rammed it into Dagger knocking the dragon onto the ground out cold. Dragge jumped up and grabbed the rope ladder to the Yellow Jacket. Meanwhile Protoman started to fly the Yellow Jacket out of the vicinity of Kattelox.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protoman was steering the ship away from there. He heard the door open and addressed Dragge. "Just what the h*** was that thing?!" Protoman burst.

"My armor," Dragge said trying to catch his breath. Dragge dropped Protoman's shield on the floor and put one hand against the closest wall. He noticed for the first time that his left arm was bleeding. "It said that it was created by the Elders. Some sort of virus called Dagger."

Protoman was hit hard from what Dragge said. "Did you say Dagger?!"

Dragge looked up at Protoman. Protoman wanted an answer immediately. Whatever you could see of his face was totally red. "Protoman, what are you hiding from me?"

Protoman lashed out at Dragge forgetting all about the ship. Dragge rolled out of the way and threw the ship on auto-pilot. Protoman went after Dragge again, but Dragge stood his ground. Dragge's hand went right for Protoman's helmet. Dragge felt the metal and took it off of Protoman's head. "Can't fight if you don't have your visors," Dragge taunted.

"I don't need to see to kick your @$$!" Protoman screamed. Protoman went in whatever direction he was facing. He was nowhere near Dragge. Protoman then spun around with his buster ready. "Tell me where you are Dragge!"

Dragge quietly walked over to Protoman and grabbed his buster. He then forced it aimed it at Protoman's own face and kept it there. "Tell me what's bothering you Protoman. Tell me now or else I fire."

"You can't fire it. Only I can use my own buster!"

Dragge held the buster where it was and slugged Protoman in the face with his free hand. "Talk Protoman," Dragge said calmly.

"Never!!" Protoman spat out. Dragge hit him again. "I'll never talk!" Another hit this time harder. Protoman's face then started to bleed. Protoman didn't say anything for a few minutes. Dragge never lowered his guard. "All right Dragge. Sit down and listen. First of all I apologize for what I did to you. It's my fault and you'll hear why. First hand me my helmet."

Dragge walked over to Protoman's helmet, now upside down on the ground, and put it back on his friend's head. "Thanks. Now this all has to do back on the Elysium War. I lied to you back then Dragge. I never guarded the Master's house. I wasn't even fighting for the Elysians. Back then, I was an Elder."

Dragge was wide eyed just listening to that statement. "Protoman this can't be. You were an elder?"

"Yes I was. I was second in command to Nemesis. I was ordered to take down the Master and Trigger. I didn't however. I went against my orders and helped the Master and Trigger force the Elders into the Library. Although it came with advantages and disadvantages. First was the fact that the Master spared me and gave me freedom and trusted me. In the fight though, I was blinded. Nemesis's scythe cut across my face and took out my ability to see. I don't regret what I did to the Elders. They deserved it. I was one of the ones that created Dagger however. I created that virus and thought that it was put away with the Elders. Guess I was wrong."

Dragge took in Protoman's words. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Then Dragge looked closer and saw tears falling from Protoman's sightless eyes. Dragge reached over and put a comforting hand on Protoman's shoulder. "Don't worry Protoman. That's all in the past now. Once Megaman is truly back to his normal self, he will delete everything and everyone form the Library."

Protoman looked at Dragge and laughed through his tears. Protoman put one of his hands and one of Dragge's shoulders. "Let's get going! Looks like the sun is rising. First take care of that nasty wound then get to bed. I'll take over the flying from here until the next island." Dragge nodded and took off to the medical facility in the ship. Protoman got up and went over to the wheel. He turned off the auto-pilot and looked at the homing beacon's navigator. They were off.

[Dragge]

Chapter 20- Forbidden Island

Six months later and the searches turned up terrible. Every time they found Megaman again he was off to another island. Protoman and Dragge were currently stationed at Calinca Island the only place where it snows year round. They were in the Yellow Jacket's living room watching the television. They had it glued to a certain channel. They heard that some guy named Bluecher was trying to touch down on Forbidden Island. It was all part of their plan to get Megaman back.

Reporters and members of the press from numerous places were there watching the whole thing unfold. They were bold to try something like this. Two men stepped up onto the platform and the press conference began. The green haired green eyed man started off. "Ahem! Ladies and gentlemen of the press thank you for your patience. I would like to present to you a brief description of our planned expedition!"

Bluecher cleared his throat and started again. "As I'm sure all of you are aware, no one has succeeded in landing beyond this tumulus cloud and lived to tell the tale. No one, that is, except Professor Barrel, and myself. Thirty years ago, Professor Barrel and I journeyed to that island, and returned. Over the years, we have been asked numerous times what we saw there. We have kept that knowledge to ourselves. But now, I intend, to give to you, the opportunity to see it for yourselves!"

The flaps on the outside of the Sulpher-Bottom opened up and revealed the maelstrom to the reporters and members of the press. They roared in excitement at finally getting to see what surrounded Forbidden Island.

Bluecher then went back to the press for just another minute. "Professor Barrel and myself are confident that the Mother Lode, which has been sought after by all mankind for numerous generations, does lie buried somewhere on this island." The press applauded then settled down. "Ahem! This ends my presentation. Thank you. And now, are there any questions?"

A lone reporter stepped forward. She had short blond hair with green eyes. She was wearing a purple reporter suit that went down to her knees. She raised her hand and spoke into the microphone, "Excuse me, Mister Bluecher?" The ring that was on her left arm was shiny within the light. Protoman and Dragge both looked at each other.

"Can it really be someone we know?" Dragge asked staring at the television.

"Could be," Protoman responded. "I'll get my armor and take off. I'll watch more up front. You should get your armor too." Protoman walked off. Dragge turned his attention back to the television.

Bluecher answered a simple, "Yes?"

"Have your research given you any clue as to what exactly the Mother Lode might be?"

"That's a good question," Bluecher replied. "Personally, I believe it to be something of tremendous importance to mankind. Something that will help us better ourselves and the world. Perhaps, a new energy source, more powerful than our current refractors."

"And you Professor, tell me, what do you think?"

Barrel turned his attention to the woman. "Hmm? Well, I think... huh? Matilda! Look... you're alive!?"

Another reporter, this one in the back, yelled out. "That's her! That's the one who stuffed me into the locker!"

"Matilda" giggled then made her way to one of the windows. "Has it occurred to you that this great lost treasure might not be what you think it is?" Bluecher addressed one of his guards but it was inaudible. "What happens is no concern of mine. Still I'll give you this warning! What you call the Mother Lode is not what you think it might be! No, it's not a treasure at all... it's a catastrophe waiting to happen! Gatz!"

The windows blew out as a white robotic reaverbot looking machine flew into the air. The guards started firing at the woman but then ceased fire.

The woman was on the reaverbot talking to the press and reporters again. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause such a ruckus! Still, the child must not be allowed to awaken... there's no telling what might happen if she does! Understand? You have been warned!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Protoman gun it!" Dragge shouted from the living room. Protoman was on it before Dragge even said anything. The ship lurched forward as it took off at full speed. They weren't more than an hour away from Forbidden Island. At the speed that they were going they would be there in a half hour or less.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge was watching the television again. This time he was inside a smaller ship which he called the Yellow Jacket Mark II. This was was a small fighter ship. It had two spots: one for the main pilot and one for a secondary gunner. Dragge was alone on this one. Protoman stayed behind to watch over the main ship.

The television was full color and big enough to see the details of everything. Dragge and Protoman had reached the major scene of Yuna's attack. Dragge flipped his ship on auto-pilot and listened to one of the reporters in a voice-over. "This is your live update! Although the Sulpher-Bottom's hull was damaged in the attack by a..." Dragge zoned out the rest of it. He then clicked off the television. He came to his destination. His ship approached right behind Gatz. He opened the window and stepped carefully onto the top of the Yellow Jacket.

"Yuna, what exactly are you doing?" Dragge shouted over th howling winds.

Yuna noticed Dragge and gave a little gasp of shock then recognized who it was. "Dragge? What are yo doing here?"

"Megaman has to get his memory back and this may be the only way to do so."

"You don't understand do you Dragge? If Sera is awakened she will get the keys some way and use the Carbon Reinitialization Program."

"Sometimes you have to think about what's right."

"What I'm doing is right!" Yuna shouted. "Gatz dispose of him."

"I'm sorry Master Dragge." Gatz used his weapons and shot at the Yellow Jacket. It went down. Dragge jumped back in and tried to start his ship back up but it fell to the surface of Forbidden Island. Dragge watched in horror as Gatz attacked the Sulpher-Bottom and damaged its engines. He turned his television back on and watched the breaking news.

"Protoman, this is Dragge. I'm on my way down to the surface. Pick me up whenever possible!"

There was some static but Protoman got the message and replied. "Got it Dra... I'll be down whe..... I ca." The message was cut off. Dragge was own his own. The best thing for him to do was wait in the ship and watch what happened.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge woke up suddenly. The television was still going bringing updates about the Sulpher-Bottom when they could. The storm was still raging outside. Dragge finally popped off the window and decided to make his way to the center of the island. Fortunately enough he was close to it. He climbed up on a ledge and got a good view of Megaman fighting off a Rush Mammoo.

Dragge watched the final moments of the battle and shielded his eyes from the explosion and was fascinated by the storm subsiding after many years. The large diamond prison in the middle started spinning in the opposite direction and immediately went away. Geetz fell in a bent over position. Out of his hands came the unclothed form of Sera herself.

[Dragge]

Chapter 21- Rescuing Trigger

All the events after Sera's awakening unfolded just like they were supposed to. Megaman went all around the world fighting in ruins and against the pirates who thought that the keys were truly to the Mother Lode. They didn't know that there were two Mother Lodes. The one that had been talked about by diggers for centuries did exist and only Dragge knew where. The other one was the Carbon Reinitialization Program. Megaman did regain his memories and went with Yuna and Gatz to Elysium to settle things with Sera.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bonnes and Caskets were sitting together and Roll and Tron were arguing over plans for a rocket that could go get Megaman. Calbania was a quiet place. There were places with reaverbots above the ground but where they were was a fine spot. Teisel, Barrel, and Bluecher were sitting on a bench watching the rocket failures go by. Right now they were at ten.

Tron and Roll were arguing over how to design the rocket starting with money issues and trying to build off of that. Whatever they talked about though didn't turn out well as they just yelled at each other when they neared the end of that certain segment.

Bon and about seventy-five percent of the servbots were building the rockets and eventually testing them out. They were up to it though. Bon was still just a baby in a robotic suit and the servbots could take the strength of huge explosions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge and Protoman had left the Yellow Jacket close to area where they were all gathered but didn't want to give anything away. They looked over and saw what had to be Data falling off of a table. Apparently he had tried to tell the mechanics something but the girls didn't listen to him. They didn't understand him anyway. Dragge was able to hear what he said.

Dragge slowly walked over to the arguing women and went around to the middle of the table in between the two of them. He drew their attentions immediately. Even Teisel, Barrel, and Bluecher got up to see who these people were. Then they all looked back to see Protoman walking over with his yellow scarf waving in the wind and his huge shield perched on his back.

No one wanted to say anything. They had almost no knowledge about either of the Elysians or why they were there. Roll was the only one who recognized them. "I remember you two! I ran into you guys back on Kattelox Island! Back when Megaman first encountered the Bonnes!"

"Yes that was us," Protoman said in a cool tone. "I'm Protoman Enigma and my friend here is Dragge Trigger, Megaman's clone." They all stared at them in awe. They all couldn't find the right words to say.

"I'm Teisel Bonne. This is my sister Tron and my brother Bon is somewhere else," Teisel said.

"Nice to meet you both. I'm Verner Von Bluecher."

Barrel looked the two of them up and down. "I'm Barrel Casket and this is my granddaughter Roll. Her parents were lost years ago to Forbidden Island. Apparently one of those people from space used her body. Whether we will get her back we don't know."

"It's nice to meet you all," Dragge said. "We too are from Elysium. Don't worry we aren't here to trick you like Sera and Geetz did. They wanted the keys to the Library so that they could use the Carbon Reinitialization Program. Yuna and Gatz were the ones that attacked the Sulpher-Bottom a while back. They had a good reason for it too. We needed Megaman to get his real memories back. He lost them years ago in a terrible fight. He had a mission from the one we knew as the Master. He told Megaman to delete every thing from the Library and destroy the System."

"Interesting," came Barrel's old voice. "So can either of you find a way to this place you call Elysium? We want to get Megaman back here on our turf."

"Yes we can. We need Data however. He tried telling the girls here but they turned him down not giving him a chance to explain himself," Protoman said.

Everyone's eyes were directed to the two mechanics. Roll and Tron both blushed as they looked at the others. "Data!" Roll called out. Data came hopping up and jumped onto the table. "Data may you please show us how to build the proper rocket?"

"Ei-ei! Sure Roll! It's simple! Really simple!" Data took a couple pieces of paper and wrote down some schematics really quickly. The model was right on and costly however.

Tron picked it up and looked it over. "How will we able to afford this?!" she exclaimed.

Protoman stepped forward and came up with a solution to their money issue. "I have a ton of zenny back at the Yellow Jacket. I work as a lawyer back on Ostasis Island. Over the years I was able to afford a mansion along with butlers and servants and some nice vehicles. I'll be right back." Protoman dropped his shield and dashed off. In a matter of seconds he was back with the ship. He came out with enough zenny for about thirty more attempts.

They stared at how much he had and got to work on ordering the parts. About ten million zenny and two days later the rocket was done. Dragge was loaded on as a pilot with Protoman co-pilot. Bon and a few servbots worked other controls. The count-down began and in seconds they were off to Elysium. "Trigger, you're coming home!" Protoman shouted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman stood in front of the Master's house looking at the same sun-set that was there all day. How long had it been now? Three weeks, maybe four. He was sick of it. Sera and Yuna worked out agreements and built a new shell for Sera. It was an exact copy of her last one. She was transfered to that one and Yuna took her's back. Both servitor units were gone so things were pretty quiet. Matilda was still sleeping but would be awake in about another few minutes.

Sera and Yuna walked up from behind Megaman and put a hand on either shoulder. "Now what Megaman?" Yuna asked.

"Please don't ask that again Yuna. You know that it'll still be time before they come for us. They don't know space travel like we do. It's too bad that the shuttle bay was closed off."

Sera just sighed and looked on ahead. "Oh I just remembered Megaman. Matilda's awake now. We'll explain every thing to her shortly."

"What should we tell her about her husband Banner?" Megaman asked concerned for Roll's mother.

Neither of them came up with an answer. They just relaxed on Megaman's shoulders. Megaman didn't mind. They were friends again and that's all that mattered. They were the only members of Elysium that were left. There was a rumble and finally a crash. Somehow a rocket came tearing through what used to be the defense area. The rocket came up next to Megaman and the Mother Units. A hatch door opened with a hiss. Out came about ten servbots and Bon.

Megaman rushed over in excitement. "Bon! Servbots! I'm actually happy to see you all for once!" Megaman yelled out in excitement. His face lit up with joy. They all had a way to get out of this barren wasteland that was once called paradise. Out of the hatch walked two other figures. One in black armor and one with red and a yellow scarf. "Who are you guys?" Megaman asked staring down the people he once knew.

That question stabbed Dragge. "How could you forget us Megaman?" Dragge asked approaching Megaman. "Search deep within your memories. We're there. You know it to be true."

Megaman took the time to think deep inside of him. He found the memories too. "Dragge Trigger and Protoman Enigma. Holy... How long has it been?"

"Last time we saw the Trigger side of you was the battle on Forbidden Island. The last time we saw you was on Kattelox Island."

"It's starting to come back to me now. I almost killed you when you were cloned. It's good to see you guys after fifteen years."

"Well I see Sera and Yuna are friends again. So where is Matilda?" Dragge asked.

"Inside," Yuna said. They followed her inside and saw Roll's mother laying by the edge. Last time Dragge was there, it was filled with water. They would have a lot to explain from many perspectives.

"Trigger, did you finish your objectives?" Protoman asked.

"I deleted everything from the Library and destroyed the System. Come I'll show you."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protoman and Megaman made their way through the large cold corridor maze and came to the Library. There were five frozen statues there now. Protoman walked up to the one in the middle. "No it can't be!" Protoman shouted backing away.

"What, what is it?" Megaman asked.

"The Elders." The person inside the middle statue stirred. His eyes opened up. The ice shattered and the man stepped forward. His armor looked like that of Bola's only white. He had dirty blond hair in a military style cut. His eyes were green with envy. He held a large metal rod that could be for anything.

"After three-thousand years of prison, we are free! The Elders are back." The man noticed Protoman and addressed him directly. "You traitor. I can't believe you're back. You should have died years ago." Protoman said nothing. "I am Nemesis, leader of the Elders. There are also my top four as well. Bruticus, Dantell, Aried, and Jakob." The other crystals shattered and the top four were alive once again.

"With the Master out of the way, the Reaverbots will rule again!" Nemesis shouted. He held up a file. "This is the main reaverbot activation program. These allow them to go above ground and destroy everything in their way. All of those years they were just in defensive mode. Now, they will be invincible!" Nemesis laughed and the five Elders disappeared into smoke.

"What now Protoman?" Megaman asked.

"We get back to Terra and stop the Elders. Let's go." Protoman turned around and went for the top floor. Megaman was on his heels.

[Dragge]

Chapter 22- World of Chaos

They could see it from space. All of them were glued to the windows. Explosions covered the world. The reaverbots were finally activated one-hundred percent. It looked like every island had problems. The reaverbots had probably come up from underground and attacked whatever was in their paths.

"What should we do?" Megaman asked looking at the destruction below. He had saved an island before. Then he saved the world. Now it was time to save the world... again. "I'm gone for a while and this is what it comes to. It's time to save the world once more I guess." Megaman hated this situation. He had only wanted to get back home and relax until he felt like getting back into digging.

"We go down there and fight! The places that we've been to either had little or no weapons or police force of any kind. A lot of places are going to need a lot of help," Dragge said trying to best answer Megaman's question. He then looked to Sera and Yuna. "Can either of you build battle armor for yourselves?"

Sera and Yuna looked at each other then looked back at Dragge with a look of defeat on their faces. "Unless we get the proper equipment, no. Everything is back on Elysium," Yuna stated. "Sorry for failing you all."

"Don't give up yet Yuna!" Megaman shouted. "We have tools back on Terra. We'll get you both that armor. It may not be what you're both used to, but it will work."

Protoman was piloting the ship back to Terra. Their destination was Calbania. Roll, Tron, and the others probably got the news right away. The rocket was almost there. If anything Protoman would just crash it and they would jump out before it hit. They needed to move fast. They needed to get back to everyone and regroup on their airships.

Matilda was fully awake and still asking questions after she had been told everything. She couldn't wait to see Roll again. It had been fifteen years or so since she had seen her daughter. "So, Megaman, Roll is doing good?" Matilda just had to ask.

"Yeah. For as long as I've know her, she never quit looking for you or Banner. We've got you and we thought we had a shot at finding Banner, but we weren't sure if it was him or not."

"What do you mean whether it was him or not? Who is this person you're talking about?"

"He went by the name Joe. He had purple hair and a large robotic right arm. He wore a green trench coat with green pants underneath. He had designs of a dropship and that's how we got to Forbidden Island. Roll thought is was him, but he left after we fought off the pirates from Calinca one last time. Bon knows what I'm talking about."

Bon appeared from a doorway and gave his trademark, "Babu!", then continued on his way. His bulky yellow form walked down the hall to the engine room. About half of the servbots were following him.

Matilda's eyes started to tear up. Megaman went over to her and gave her a hug for comfort. She put her arms around his waist and held on. "Don't worry Matilda. If anything, Banner can create a machine or something to keep the reaverbots away."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tron and Roll were using some of the special weapons that Megaman had left behind while he went to Elysium. Teisel and the rest of the servbots got into the Draches and fought from the sky. Barrel took shelter in the Flutter and so did Bluecher. The Sulpher-Bottom had been destroyed before he could reach it.

"I don't think we can hold them off like this forever!" Roll shouted over her shoulder taking out a few small reaverbots. Tron shot one then grabbed one and threw it back into a couple more oncoming reaverbots. The two girls slowly walked back to the Flutter. The Draches were providing enough cover for them.

Then out of the corner of her eye, Tron saw a rocket coming through the atmosphere. "They're back! Quick Roll get on the Flutter. They know what they're doing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The servbots were all quivering in a huddled position. They were all on top of the rocket ready to jump at moment's notice. Bon had Matilda in his large arms. Dragge, Protoman, Megaman, Sera, and Yuna were ready as well. Megaman had his helmet on and Dragge's faceplate was ready for impact. Sera and Yuna had small parachutes so that they could glide down.

"Here we go in three, two, one!" Protoman shouted. At once they all jumped from their position on the rocket and landed back on the ground. Dragge landed and rolled forward then, while staying down on on knee, shot all the reaverbots he could pick off. These reaverbots weren't the usual ones that went down in one or two shots. These things stayed up fighting long and hard.

Bon rushed to the Flutter with Matilda in his arms with all of the servbots following behind. Yuna and Sera were behind them as well. Protoman and Megaman fought whatever reaverbots they could and went to their respective airships. Dragge took out a few more then caught up to Protoman using his foot jets.

The two airships took into the air and got away from there. "Wait a minute, Roll! Turn back!" Megaman shouted as he got to the bridge.

"What's the matter Megaman?!" Roll asked hysterically.

"There are only three people on that island, all kids. Shu and her two brothers Appo and Dah. We have to go back for them!" Roll nodded and turned the ship around. Protoman and Dragge waited at a safe distance until the Flutter returned.

The Flutter stayed above the ground. Megaman made the daring leap to the ground without using the ladder. He tumbled on impact but brushed it off without any thought and went for the only inhabitants of the island. Megaman saw the small house with no one outside. Megaman busted through the door. "Shu hurry! Come with me and I'll get you guys out of here!"

"Aha! I told you Megaman would come, Shu!" Appo said laughing. Shu said nothing as she took Megaman's hand. Together, along with their only pig, they went back to the Flutter and boarded. They were safe and out of harm's way, for now.

[Dragge]

Chapter 23- Ostasis

Dragge took off from the group. Dragge had taken the smaller Yellow Jacket and went off to Ostasis Island. If anything Elunia and Drifter needed help. He was far off from the island and he could already see the disaster that awaited him. The place was going down in ruins. Buildings were collapsed and people were shouting and trying to find a place to run to.

The reaverbots were the new population of the island. Protoman was right about what Nemesis had with him. The reaverbots were more aggressive and killed anyone in their way. It was a horrible sight to see. Then he saw hope from the island.

The Ostasis Police Force wasn't big, but they had massive weapons to use against reaverbots and pirates. That was another thing that Dragge noticed. Since everything was being taken over by the reaverbots, pirates from around the world found this the perfect time to pillage what they could.

The Yellow Jacket hovered above the island. He didn't want the reaverbots getting to his only way out of here. He opened the cock-pit and jumped the forty or so feet rolling as he hit the ground. His buster and autofire unit were out immediately shooting at all the reaverbots in his path to the city. There was a large rumble and Dragge saw the hospital tumble over. That had been the first place he saw of Ostasis Island.

The reaverbots did all that they could to not let him through. These were some of the usually easier reaverbots to destroy too. Such as foo-roo and horokkos. They didn't go down in the usual one hitter. It took forever to get through them.

After exhausting most of his physical strength, he went to quicker matters. His helmet formed up over his head and the face plate came out of the helmet. Energy-based claws appeared on each one of his fingers letting out the near silent hum as they stayed out. Dragge then slashed his way through the reaverbots. His claws were like instant death to these heartless machines.

After fighting his way through thousands of reaverbots, Dragge, finally reached the city. It was worse in there than it was out on the Teratributan Plane. The police were firing their cannons at the reaverbots. It took about two hits for each reaverbot depending on the reaverbot. In the middle of it all was a figure clad in white armor slashing and blasting through each reaverbot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drifter was the son of Dragge and he was proud of it. He knew his father well and they both got along real well. His father had told Drifter of all of the times that he had saved the island from pirates.

Drifter had brown spiky hair like his father and had blue eyes. He was fourteen and a half now and into his years of a freshman in high school. He already had a sweet heart but never got up the guts to ask her out. Her name was Erin and she was the most beautiful girl in the school. Same age as Drifter. She had long brown hair with green eyes and a perfect body.

Drifter dodged a reaverbot and turned around to shoot it in the back. He had never known that this was going to happen. Two days ago reaverbots started coming up from underground. Everyone thought this was usual reaverbot activity until every island started reporting the strange behavior. His mom had given him a sheet of paper written out by his father. "I won't come between you and what your father left for you," his mom had said nearly crying, "That is for you to decide. I just don't want to see you get hurt."

Drifter had wondered what she could have been rambling on about until he found the suit of armor awaiting him in his father's secret room. It fit him perfectly. He found his dad's files on the armor and found out all about it: it's weapons, how it works, and other interesting facts such as that it will grow with him as he grows older.

Drifter put the buster away and stood very still in the middle of a ring of reaverbots. Two panels, one on each arm on the outer arm, and out of them came two small weapon like devices. Two small energy circles appeared from the small barrel and Drifter held up his arms in defense.

The reaverbots took their chances and made a bee-line for Drifter. They connected with the shields and short-circuited on impact. They all fell at his feet. Then from behind a large robotic arm grabbed him and through him on top of a train. The Giwan followed him onto the train and started throwing its arms at him.

Drifter rolled right then left trying to avoid the punches. Drifter got back up and slid between the reaverbot's legs. He turned around in mid-slide and shot the reaverbot in its spiky butt. It threw its arms up in the air and fell off of the train. Drifter stood up and made the daring leap off of the train. He hit a black armored reaverbot and nearly shot at it until he recognized the armor. It was his father Dragge.

"What are you doing here?" Drifter shouted over the heavy fire.

"I came for you and your mother." Dragge put his arm on Drifter's shoulder. "Please tell me where your mother is!"

"I'll show you!" Drifter ran off toward the school with Dragge following up the rear. They both acted as a team firing and diverted the reaverbots' attentions. Dragge took a shot to the back and fell face first on what used to be green grass. Drifter spun around and helped him up. Dragge limped a little bit but then started to run again.

Sweat was flying off of their faces and would eventually blind them temporarily. They reached the school and went in through the back doors. The front doors were barricaded from the inside. Drifter had direct access to the school's back entrance and led Dragge through it. Dragge had been in there a couple of times before, but forgot until he got in there again.

Drifter led his dad to his homeroom where his mom was stationed. "Mom!" Elunia came out of her hiding spot behind numerous over-turned desks and other knick-knacks.

Elunia saw Dragge and ran over to him. They embraced for the first time in months. "I thought you were dead," she said sobbing. "I hate it when you don't call me for a long time."

"Don't worry Elunia. I'm here now and I'm going to get you out of here. I brought my personal ship with me. It can only seat two, but I can get another ride out of here and return to you guys. Protoman and the rest of my friends are heading to the rendezvous point on Nino Island. I heard that it's the only safe spot left on Terra. Their ruins are sealed off and the Digger's Guild ruin is filled with only holograms."

"Dragge I can't leave you behind. Not again."

"Don't worry about me." Dragge turned his attention to Drifter. "Can you fly?"

"Sure can. You know I'm in metal shop and advanced air and flight class. How else could I have done this to the armor?" The two plates on his arms slid back and the shields activated.

Dragge nodded his head and only said, "Impressive."

"So I think that I'm capable of flying your ship to Nino."

"Alright then. Elunia, Drifter and I will get you cover out to the Teratributan Plane and the two of you can get out of here. I'll help the police here until I get the right chance to steal a ship out of here."

"Why not ride on top of the ship?" Drifter asked his father.

"It's not big enough. Trust me if it was I would, but unfortunately I can't. If anything you guys deserve to live longer."

Elunia had no choice but to agree with her husband. "Okay then, where is your ship?" Dragge didn't smile but he was glad with his wife's choice.

[Dragge]

Chapter 24- Attack on Nino

Dragge could feel the pain coursing through his body. The reaverbots were on him and he couldn't move. Bold was trickling down the right side of his face and would occasionally blind him temporarily. His right arm was also in pain. A reaverbot had fallen on it when he was down and the armor impacted cutting into his arm. He could hardly move a muscle in his arm.

Dragge fired his buster at a couple of reaverbots and took them out. He was rushing to Protoman's house for he knew that it was the only place able to withstand the attack of thousands of reaverbots. He got there and saw it standing. He bust through the door and barricaded it afterward. He ran into Protoman's butler Jerad. "May I help you with something Master Dragge?" he asked.

"Show me to Protoman's room. I need to search for something of his."

"Is it his secret study? He keeps prototypes of numerous weapons in there. I'll take you there." Dragge followed Jerad to the secret study and Dragge was allowed to go through the weapons. Dragge came across two katana swords, a sniper rifle, and a charge shot buster part.

Dragge put the swords on his hips, the sniper on his back, on the buster part on his buster. He left the room and took the access way to the roof. Dragge pulled out the sniper rifle and took aim through the scope. He pulled the trigger and hit two reaverbots one right behind the other. He turned to his right and fired off another shot killing two more of the robotic beasts.

A Giwan started appearing from the distance. Dragge took aim once more and fired. After a few seconds the massive robot fell down exploding on contact with the ground. Dragge saw some miitan and tried to take them out but the rifle was out of shells. He tossed the weapon aside and dropped to the garden path below.

Dragge charged up his buster. It had an amazing effect while charging. Usually the particles that created the energy shots came from within the buster itself. This however was a different story. Particles gathered from around the outside of the buster too and the weapon charged up to a greenish glow. When it fired it shot of a huge energy blast that took out the reaverbots faster than if he had a buster max part.

The reaverbots filled in by two when one went down. Some were simple, but others were large hulks of the reaverbot class such as the Harin. Dragge was outnumbered at least one-hundred to one in this battle. Even the police had a rough time taking down a single reaverbot let alone one-hundred.

Dragge couldn't take any more of this fight and ran through the reaverbots pushing and shoving his way through. They all tried to block his path, but when they did he would grab a smaller reaverbot and throw it into the ones blocking his path. He finally got off of Protoman's property and ran as far as he could. He accidentally hit the old man Dizer Smith. He was the town blacksmith and created the best armor by hand. It took a while to make it but it held up in the end better than name-brand armor.

Dragge helped him up and dusted him off. "What are you doing out here?" Dragge asked trying to get the eighty year old man away from the scene. "You should take refuge in the school with the rest of the city.

The brown eyed, gray haired man almost refused to go but then held out a key for Dragge. "This is to my private air-ship. It sits only two, but it has good armor and weapons on it. Get yourself out of here and help your friends. Trust me I know what I'm doing. And if we survive this, I'll give you a discount at my store."

Dragge accepted the keys. "Thank you Dizer. Hey have you seen Erin Garin around? My son wants me to make sure that she's safe."

"Last I saw of her she was up on Old Devilman's Cliff. Better check there. If I see her I'll give you a call." Dragge ran off North to Old Devilman's Cliff. It was dubbed the largest cliff in the world. Had to be seven hundred feet up if anything. It was a long walk up for everyone. Dragge, however, had a faster and more efficient route. He activated his small foot jets and took off directly vertically. He got up there and saw the reaverbots in an enclosed circle standing over a form.

Dragge bust through the circle and saw Erin Garin fighting off reaverbots with her bare hands. There was grease and oil all over her beautiful body but she didn't seem to care. It was for the better of the city. She spun around and saw Dragge standing there. "What are you doing here?" came her soft voice.

"You know my son Drifter, right?" Dragge asked charging his buster then shooting the reaverbots. "Well he was concerned for you and I wanted to keep my promise and make sure that you were alright."

Erin took that straight from Dragge's mouth. "He really cares for me?"

"Of course. He's loved you for years. So, want to meet him?" She nodded her head and the two of them headed for Dizer's ship. It started right up without any trouble and the two of them went to Nino Island.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drifter was shooting at a pirate's ship. Apparently Nino wasn't a safe place to be either. The pirates arrived thinking that in all of the confusion they could still get away with stealing what they could. The pirates were packing heavy fire and about a quarter of the city was up in flames. Johnny was there with his extinguisher trying to put out what he could. The large automated cannons were doing their part and keeping the pirates at bay.

Megaman was up on top next to the Parabola weapon. Roll was sitting at it using when she could. The weapon had given them the advantage a few times but they ships were protected. Megaman's buster couldn't reach that far out and he had to have Roll upgrade the shining laser.

The Bonnes had gathered all of the remaining Draches and took to other parts of the sky. They put up a good fight and dodged quickly.

Sera and Yuna used their new battle armor and went to different areas of the island. Matilda had her own armor and helped them out. Elunia was on the side-lines fixing armor when someone needed it.

Protoman was in the city itself guarding the ruin entrance from time to time. Other than that he would take to the roof and help Megaman out. The whole thing was a terrible mess that would take some time to clean up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge took the small airship down to the dock and looked at the battle raging on. Had he been too late or was everyone else still fighting. Then Dragge spotted Sera in the sky and knew that everything was still going. He helped Erin out of the ship and took her to the city down below. Ruminoa City was small but it made the perfect defensive shelter.

"Stay her Erin and we'll come back for you when this battle is over." She accepted the orders and waited until everything was said and done.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the pirates found out that they couldn't do damage from the sky they took weapons down below and fought hand to hand. The diggers were outmatched, and with the police forces and diggers on other islands fighting, there was no way that they could get back-up.

Dagge went out to section two where his son was fighting off pirates and helped him out. "Nice timing old man. We really needed you."

"Yeah anytime. I brought Erin with me and she's safe in Ruminoa City down below."

"Thanks for everything dad."

"I'll take that when we finish the living crap out of all of these pirates." Dragge charged up his buster and shot at a birdbot that was approaching his way. Glyde was here and he bet everything that Bola and Claymoor were there as well.

[Dragge]

Chapter 25- Organizing the Situation

Dragge, Drifter, and everyone else sat down inside the Digger's Guild right outside the Guildmaster's office. The place was nicer than last time Megaman was here. It was repainted and they brought in another two couches and a few chairs. The desk was shortened back but still held the same things as the last.

Everyone was sitting on one of the couches or chairs that were there and sat around a nice coffee table. Each of them had some sort of drink. Dragge was the first to address the situation. "As we all know, the reaverbots have been one-hundred percent activated due to the program of the Elders. The reaverbots no longer stay underground, but come to the surface to reclaim what was once supposed to be their turf." No one said a word as he continued. "I also have speculations that the Elders are also after the true Mother Lode. Not to rain on your parade Mister Bluecher, but I think that the Mother Lode are larger than life refractors. I could be wrong, but it's a theory."

"No you're fine Dragge. Please continue," Bluecher stated.

"We need to not only defeat the Elders, but we need to stop this threat of the reaverbots. Even if the Elders were killed, the reaverbots would still roam around at one-hundred percent."

Sera rubbed her chin and sat there in silence. Yuna took a crack at it, "So do we know where the Elders are? If not then this could be a real problem."

"Well we have a real problem outside!" Barrel nearly shouted.

"Yes we do have to get back to those pirates, but the automated cannons are working perfectly for us to sit here and finally discuss what is needed to be done. Another thing is that we don't know where the Elders are. They could be anywhere on any island. They could even still be on Elysium for all I know." Protoman sat back into the couch and threw his head back.

Roll, Elunia, Erin, and Matilda sat there in silence. Matilda put a comforting arm around Roll and Roll leaned into her mother for the first time in years.

Megaman stood up. "If the Elders got the five treasures of the Mother Lode, they could destroy Terra with it, not just wipe out the carbons. They would then be able to rule anything else out there and we don't know if there is." Megaman turned around to face Dragge. "Listen Dragge, we need all the best technology we can get. I mean sure our stuff is good all ready, but we need more.

"I'll supply the Bonnes with money so they can build machines for their use and maybe even another Gesselschaft. I also have a buster part in the works called a charge shot. I haven't tested it out yet so I don't know if it works or not."

Dragge laughed and unequipped the charge shot piece from his buster and tossed it to Protoman. "Oh it works my friend. This thing is amazing."

Erin, Roll, Elunia, Matilda, Bluecher, and Barrel all got up and left. They had heard enough. This only left the former Mother Units, Megaman, Dragge, Drifter, and Protoman. Neither of them said a word as they just looked at each other. Drifter finally stood up, "Let's go back out there and help them." The rest agreed as they followed Drifter back to the upper level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bon fell from the sky and landed hard. The main part of his armor split. Teisel and Tron were at his side immediately and got him inside the safe area of the city. Roll was there at the door with her cart of tools.

Roll got on her knees and took a look at the armor. She was able to flip him onto his front and saw a little compartment door on the back. She opened it up and saw a humanly figure inside and pulled it out. It was a boy, a baby boy. "Did either of you notice this before?" Roll asked.

Teisel and Tron both looked at each other then shook their heads. Then a glow came from Bon. He started to age to about sixteen years old. His protective casing glowed too and reformatted itself and was equipped onto the older Bon. The size of the arms and hands stayed the same but everything else changed. The leg and feet armor became longer, thinner, and shorter for the feet. Yellow torso armor came from what used to be the head of his armor.

The glowing stopped and there stood Bon. The sixteen ear old moved his head back and his golden hair flew off to the side. His eyes were dark green and he had a look of revenge on his face. He knew everything. He knew that Glyde was there and wanted to give Glyde everything he had. It was time for payback for stealing him and Teisel one and a half years ago.

"Bon?" Teisel asked.

"Yes brother?" came the majestic voice.

"How did this happen?" Tron asked.

"Mom and Dad," Bon stated. "They stored me in this armor a few years after Teisel was born and two years before you sis. They thought that I wasn't going to live and wanted to protect me. That's why they showed me to you guys before they died. So you could protect me. The thing was is that nothing was ever wrong with my body. Now I'm ready to fight! It's about time I got out of there!"

"How did you stay a baby all of those years?" Roll asked.

"It was the armor. It had some sort of hold on my age. MY brain grew, but my body didn't. Now let's go show them who's boss!" The Bonnes raised their hands in victory and ran back out to join the fight.

[Dragge]

Chapter 26- Finishing

Glyde had a small concealed pistol with him. He was about to destroy the city from within. "This is the best day of my life!" Glyde exclaimed. Glyde had been in bad shape ever since the train incident. He had lost his left arm, most of the right side of his face had been torn off, but tat was all fixed. He got a golden arm and his face had been replaced with metal as well.

Glyde heard a rumble behind him and turned around. It sounded like it was right there. In fact it was. "B-B-Bon?" Glyde stammered looking at the Bonne Brother.

Bon was staring Glyde down with a vengeance. In a deep voice Bon said, "Babu." Bon's right hand then went back then he snapped it forward and hit Glyde. The punch had so much force behind it. Glyde was thrown back by the punch and almost fell into the ocean beneath the island. He held on and climbed back on. "That was for taking us prisoner." Bon ran over to the doubled-over Glyde and went in for the attack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drifter got back up. He had been hit by a cannon and it stung. He could hardly feel his left leg, but he kept going anyway. He shot up at a pirate ship and missed horribly. He gathered himself together and got off one more shot before heading back indoors.

Up on the roof Megaman was helping Roll re-modify the Parabola. Instead of firing off those stupid energy waves it would fire off huge energy shells. Once done they fired it and it worked. IT took down at least on of the pirate ships. Megaman fell into the seat next to Roll and she kept aiming the Parabola and firing it at every ship in sight with exception of the Draches.

The ships saw what was going on and they retreated. Everyone on the island celebrated in joy. All of the diggers met up in the city. They had fought off the threat of the pirates. They would be back, but for now they were out of commission.

Dragge went out and made sure all of the ships were fine. They barley had a dent on them. Both Yellow Jackets were working, the Flutter was still flyable, and Dizer's ship would have to either be docked in the larger Yellow Jacket or sold off for money. In the end they decided to keep it.

Outside everyone got prepared for where they were to go next. "Let's go to Trinban next," Megaman suggested. "I have readings from there and there seems to be little organic activity. If anything one of the five treasures might be there."

"All right then Trigger, we head there next," Protoman stated, "What about the Bonnes?"

Teisel stood up from the wooden dock and stated, "With the money that you have generously offered, we'll get a ship built for us and some better machines. Our last ones were horribly built from scrap. We won't fail you guys."

"Barrel, Matilda, Elunia, Erin, Yuna, and Sera are staying here to watch over the place. They should be safe here if anything," Drifter informed the rest of them. "That leaves us with: Megaman, Protoman, Dragge, Roll, and myself. Of course the Bonnes are on our side with Yuna and Sera. I'd say that we have a pretty good team."

"It's good, but not powerful enough. Maybe once we get to Trinban Island we can get some more diggers to travel with us," Dragge came out. They all nodded and went to their ships. Megaman, Roll, and Drifter went to the Flutter while Dragge and Protoman went to the Yellow Jacket. The Bonnes waved them off as the ships went into the sky.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drifter took one of the seats on the Flutter's bridge. Megaman and Roll came in after him and started up the Flutter. "Why didn't you go with your father?" Megaman asked.

"I've known him for all of my life, same with Protoman. I thought, why not get to know my uncle and his sister."

"Technically I'm not his sister. We even gave him a different last name when my grandfather found him. It's nice to have you on the Flutter though. Make yourself at home because the flight to Trinban. It's far west of Saul Kada and to Saul Kada is at least an hour ride." Roll then didn't say anything for a while "Data! Want to show Drifter the ship?"

Data popped in the room and signaled for Drifter to follow the monkey. Megaman decided to go with him. Drifter was shown the small ship in relatively short time. "If this is for a long time I'll sleep on the couch in the living room," Drifter said after seeing everything.

"Whatever makes you happy. I'll bring out the other couch and you can put them together if you like. I'll also go get you some sheets. You have anything to change into?"

"Yeah I was able to bring some stuff before I left Ostasis. It's in the Yellow Jacket. I'll get the stuff later. Thank you for everything Uncle."

"Just call me Megaman. You don't have to use the "Uncle" title." Megaman did what he said he would and brought out a second couch and some sheets. Drifter sat on one of the couches and turned on the television. After a while he fell asleep.

[Dashe]

Dragge, even though I'm pretty sure Bon isn't supposed to be funny here, for some reason I find the melodramatic, hardcore bits about him...not to mention the notion that he's much, much older than I ever could've imagined him, AND blonde (when his parents and brother and sister all had brown hair) makes me giggle far too much for my own good.

[Dragge]

Thanks for a little feed-back Dashe. The past like five or six fan-fics I've done I haven't gotten any feed-back. I really wanted someone to come by and speak their mind.
