Dragge: Revelations of a Hero

[Dragge]

Foreword

As my fanfic 'Last Raven' is coming to its end I thought to myself, "Why not go back to my original roots. That's right, I'm rewriting 'The Chronicles of Dragge' from scratch. I read over a bit of my original story and found many flaws to it such as *chapters being incredibly short *same thing happens every few chapters *descriptions are very limited. The list could go on if I felt like it. Anyway though, I still haven't thought of what to do with 'Casket'. To me it almost seems like dead weight that wasn't necessary. 'Last Raven' didn't turn out the way I had planned it either. So look forward to the new story of Dragge and his origins. Also look for *different characters *better sub-plots *more description *longer chapters (hopefully : plus much more. I'll be taking characters out and throwing some new ones in. The story as I have previously said will be completely rewritten with some similar parts. So to all of you who like to read my fan fiction, get ready for my best to date.

[Dragge]

Prologue

My name is Dragge. It wasn't my name at my "birth", but a name a chose for myself. This is my story. This explains who I am. I have gone through many hardships in my life and my story explains most of it. My story is one of destruction, power, revelations, love, and greed. I can't say that you'll be interested in this story. If you want to listen to it though, do sit down for I won't stop for anyone.

[Dragge]

Chapter 1- Origins

Megaman Trigger walked down a long corridor on the planet know to him as "Elysium". Megaman was still young according to Elysian standards. He was the height of an average carbon, around five foot seven inches. He had bright green eyes and brown hair in the form of a few spikes. He had one of the biggest personalities on Elysium.

Megaman had been conducting experiments with himself. He had been trying to create the perfect clone of himself, but every time he tried the clone failed. This time he was going to try again. This was his going to be his forty-sixth try.

Megaman entered the room. He looked up at the walls and saw the same pattern again as the corridor. That's what he hated about Elysium. From the docking bay up until the final area before the residential houses was nothing but the same pattern.

Megaman looked over to his left looking at a man in red armor standing up against the wall hands crossed over another. The man sat there with a cool look on his face and said nothing as he lifted his head up to look at Megaman. "Trying to clone yourself again Trigger?" asked the man keeping the same facial expression.

Megaman hesitated before answering. "Yes I am Protoman. I just want to prove to the people of Elysium that cloning yourself is possible. This would solve the problems of people truly dieing. You clone yourself at one point before death and the clone remembers everything that happened in your life."

Protoman just shook his head and let his eyes follow Megaman over to the cloning chambers. For the forty-sixth time Protoman would have to set everything up. Protoman walked over to the console located in between the two chambers.

"Remember what to set Protoman?" Megaman asked looking at one of his closest friends.

"Yes I do." Protoman said a little irritably. "Fire away Trigger."

Megaman entered the chamber with a small smile on his face but deep down he had a feeling that this was going to end horribly once again. Megaman stood in the center of the chamber and looked straight ahead expressionless.

On the outside Protoman flipped a few switches then punched in the transfer codes. After a couple more switches he pressed the cloning button. Protoman stepped away from the whirring machine and went back to his spot against the wall. Protoman's expression never changed while Megaman was getting cloned.

About a minute later the noise from the machine stopped and Megaman stepped out of the chamber he was in exhausted. "That sure takes a lot out of you." he said panting trying to catch his breath. "I hope this is the last time I have to go through this."

Protoman smiled at Megaman's statement. "I doubt it Trigger. I really do."

Megaman shook his head at Protoman's comeback and looked over at the chamber next to him. It finally opened and a perfect clone of Megaman stepped out of the chamber.

The clone looked around the room and saw nothing at first. Then his vision became clearer to him and saw Megaman and Protoman in the room. "Who are you people? Who am I? Where am I?"

Megaman stepped over to the clone of himself and held him steadily. "My name's Megaman Trigger. You are my clone and are currently on the planet Elysium. My memories should start coming back to you soon." Megaman answered to his clone with a grin on his face.

Protoman was in shock. You couldn't see it in his eyes(in fact his eyes were always covered by a visor that was connected to his helmet) but the way he was standing there with his mouth open gave it away. "I'm Protoman Enigma. Nice to meet you. Listen may I talk to Trigger alone?"

"Sure thing." the clone responded. Protoman grabbed Megaman and the two of them went out into the corridor to talk privately.

"I can't believe this Trigger!" Protoman exclaimed throwing his hands in the air. "This one actually came all the way through. It wasn't deformed, fall apart, or ignite instantaneously like the other forty-five!"

Megaman was glad too. In fact he had broken the one theory that everyone on Elysium, with the exception of the Master, said wasn't possible. "I can't believe it either Protoman. I still have to do scans on him though just to make sure he's stable. If everything checks out all right then it's done."

"Okay then. Let's go get him and you can run whatever tests you want to on him."

The pair walked back into the room and saw the clone sitting next to the wall his eyes examining everything around him.

"Are the memories coming to you yet?" Megaman asked the clone squatting down to see him face-to-face.

"They are. What's next Megaman?" the clone asked with concern.

"Well I just have to run a few tests to make sure things check out fine and then you're free to go and do what you want. I can even get Sera to show you around Elysium as I have almost no time in my scheduling."

"Let's get this over with then." the clone said. The clone of the famous Elysian stood up and followed Megaman out into the corridor. Protoman eventually followed as well.

[Dragge]

Chapter 2- Diagnostics

Megaman left the bright white room that he had previously been in. It was the medical examination room and fitness center located in a separate section of Elysium. Megaman had finished running the necessary tests on his forty-sixth clone.

Protoman had been waiting outside in his trademark stance up against a wall. His face was expressionless as usual and looked up at Megaman when he walked into the dull gray room. "So how did the tests go Trigger?" Protoman asked Megaman.

"Well. Actually a little too well. This clone is more than perfect." Megaman responded looking grim rather than glad.

"If it went more than perfect why are you looking so grim?" Protoman asked noticing the look on Megaman's face.

"He's not like us. On the outside he looks exactly like me. Well not exactly. His eyes are navy blue almost black. On the inside however, that's a different story. He doesn't have bones like we do. They aren't made out of marrow. They're made out of pure steel. He doesn't have muscles either. He has gears and hydraulics."

"Well he'd be the perfect fighter then."

"Listen to me Protoman! I need to get rid of him! Elysium doesn't need a death machine!" Megaman yelled his face turning red with anger.

"Easy Trigger. What do you mean 'death machine'? We have the Carbon Reinitialization Program remember? That's a death machine." Protoman reminded Megaman.

"The Carbon Reinitialization Program can't think on its own though. My clone can. He could betray each and every last one of us." Megaman said still looking grim.

"Well I can't tell you what to do Trigger. It's your decision whether or not to kill him. I won't step between you and him." Protoman got up from his spot and left not looking back.

Megaman sat down on the floor and put his head in his hands. "What am I going to do?" Megaman then remembered that the clone was left alone in the room. Megaman still had to set up a tour of Elysium for the clone. "What good is a tour if I'm to kill him?"

Megaman got up off of the floor and called Sera. "Sera this is Megaman."

"What do you need Megaman?"

"Can you come over and give my clone a tour of Elysium? I need some time to think on my own and I can't have him around."

"You actually got yourself cloned?" Sera asked with excitement.

"Yeah." Megaman said with a small smile on his face. He wished he could have seen the look on Sera's face right about now. "So can you do it?"

"Sure I'll be over in a few minutes." The connection was cut. Megaman walked back into the medical examination room. The clone was sitting in a chair with boredom in his eyes.

"I've set up that tour with you forty-six. Sera should be here any minute now."

"Thank you so much Megaman!" the clone exclaimed and left the room to wait for Sera. As soon as the door closed Megaman slowly walked over to the nearest desk with the same grim look on his face as he had earlier.

"What am I to do with you forty-six?" Megaman asked himself. "You're the first operable clone of myself, but he could be a real asset sometime in the future. Exactly when I wouldn't know, but I have a feeling about it."

Megaman sat alone with the same grim expression on his face for a long time. He had been thinking of all positives and negatives about not only the clone but the future as well. He had an equal amount of both in the end and couldn't make a straight out decision.

Megaman got up from his seat looking worse than ever. "I'm going to have to break the bad news to him. I have to rid Elysium of him before he does something too drastic. It's my job as a purifier unit to erase aberrant units like him."

Megaman got up and walked away from the desk. He was on his way to the residential district. At his home he would grab his armor and prepare for the worst killing of an aberrant unit in his life.

[Dragge]

Chapter 3- Tour to Remember

The clone saw a womanly figure in the distance. It had to be the one called Sera that Megaman had been talking about. She was about five foot five inches with short green hair that went no farther than her mouth. She wore a white dress with white stockings over her legs and feet.

The clone stood up and walked closer so that Sera wouldn't have to walk any farther. The closer he got the more he noticed how her eyes somewhat red.

Sera was the first to talk between the two of them. "My name is Sara. One of the Mother Units here on Elysium." Sera stated in a monotone. "You will refer to me as Mistress Sera or Mother. Come along now."

"I'm Megaman Trigger's clone. As of now I don't have a name but I believe that Megaman will give me one sometime in the near future."

Sera didn't respond as she led the clone on through Elysium. She hadn't responded because of one thought. 'Megaman Trigger is an over achiever. He always impresses the Master no matter what. Every time I try to impress him by obeying the system the more sad he becomes at me.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"To start off I want to tell you about the side area. It's a complex maze that starts near the hanger bay and goes all through to the residential area. No one takes that route however because there's an elevator that can take one directly to the residential area." Sera started off in her monotone.

"What exactly is in that area?" the clone asked in suspicion.

"Not much at all. Just a lot of empty rooms. No one ever goes near there because there is no need to. The place where people go the most is under the residential area. Follow me and I'll show you just what I'm talking about."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman Trigger had his armor equipped ready for the clone to step in anytime soon. He had no choice. His clone had a mind for freewill and it could do whatever it wanted to do.

Megaman sat at his desk and prepared till the time when his clone would enter through the door to Megaman's lovely home.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is amazing!" the clone said excitedly. He had a look of awe on his face. The residential homes weren't much but the lush green "grass" and beautiful horizon proved him otherwise.

"If you're done looking off into nothing I'll show you my house and what lies underneath each home." The clone was hurried along as he was to be shown what was underneath these homes.

The homes in general were nice. They didn't have the same dull gray color that the main areas of Elysium had. They were a nice bright white color and contained many things that the Elysians needed to survive.

Underneath was something else however. Sure there were huge gaps between houses but that was only because there was so much underground.

Underground there were thousands of Elysians going about everyday business. Whether it was building an underground home or talking business with a few attorneys.

"The main building above is nothing." Sera stated breaking silence between the two of them. It's just an entry way for the main houses underground."

The clone didn't have anything to say. He had been taking all of this in so seriously and was storing it away for future use.

"I want you to see this new type of armor we have in development. Come this way." Sera said motioning with her finger. The clone followed after her. They walked a distance until they came to a blue room. Inside sat numerous types of armor.

Inside was another woman that looked almost like Sera. Her dress was black and instead had full long hair with enormous pig-tails. "So this is Megaman's clone." she asked in a cheerful tone.

"Yes it is. I'd like to introduce you to Mother Unit Yuna." Sera said directing her attention back to the clone.

"You may just call me Yuna. What may I call you?" Yuna asked.

"I don't know yet. Megaman hasn't given me a name so for now just refer to me as forty-six."

"That's right it took forty-six tries before Megaman got a perfect clone." Yuna said to herself. "So Sera are you giving him the tour?"

"Yes and it's almost done. I just wanted to show the clone the new armor in development."

"Ah yes that's right. It's right over here." The clone saw a suit of armor over to the side. It looked complete to him but what did he know? It was all black except for a section on the torso that was yellow and contained a 'D' symbol. It looked amazing in the clone's eyes.

"What's it called?" the clone asked in suspicion.

"It's named the Dragge armor." Yuna responded to the question. "It's an acronym really. It stands for Demonstrative Robotic Armor Generating Gyroscopic Energy."

"What features does it have?" the clone asked.

"It contains a buster on the left arm, the autofire unit on the right arm, and built inside the fingertips are small laser blades long enough to be daggers. It also contains a heads up display inside the helmet."

"Amazing." the clone said still looking the armor over.

"I almost forgot. It also contains small propulsion jets on the feet for flight."

"Listen I really should get you to Megaman's house. He's probably wondering where you are." Sera said her tone not changing at all."

"Okay then. Let's go. I'll see you around Yuna."

"Good-bye!" Yuna called waving at the clone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clone entered Megaman's home. It looked like ever other home. Had the same white walls and same furniture and everything. Sera had shown him where to go.

"Megaman! Are you home?" the clone hollered.

"I'm in my study." Megaman's voice came. The clone noticed a difference in Megaman's voice. He sounded almost sick. The clone entered the study and found Megaman at his desk.

"Are you all right Megaman?" the clone asked with concern on his face.

Megaman stood up from his desk and turned around. He held up his left arm and the clone was looking at the barrel of a buster gun. "Stay right where you are aberrant unit."

[Dragge]

Chapter 4- Dragge Part:1

Megaman shot his buster and the clone easily stepped off to the side to avoid it. Megaman had turned against his own clone. "Why are you calling me an aberrant unit when I've done nothing wrong?" he asked.

Megaman never returned an answer. He didn't take his sight off of his clone either. Everywhere his clone went, his buster followed.

The clone couldn't believe he had held up for as long as he was. Megaman had been following him with his buster the entire time. The clone only had a second before each shot would be where he was standing.

'I'm going to have to go straight for him,' the clone thought. 'There's no way I can keep this up.' The clone then took his plan into action. He ran right for Megaman. Megaman was in shock at the clone's decision and had forgotten to fire his buster.

In one second they were out on the streets of Elysium. There was a gaping hole in one of Megaman's windows. Megaman was a bit dazed and didn't have time to react before his clone held him up against a tree.

Megaman had a look on his face that said, 'Why should we continue to fight?' Megaman had different plans however. Megaman had turned his buster on one its lowest settings and fired at his clone. The blast was only powerful enough to knock him off of Megaman and get him a little confused.

Megaman hadn't determined his clone's persistence as the clone jumped up at Megaman with a war yell. The clone tackled Megaman into the roads that separated the sidewalks of Elysium. It was then that it turned into an all out fist fight.

Both of them resorted to primal fighting using only their fists just like the days before technology had evolved. Neither one of them backed down from this fight. Each one had a goal. The clone wanted to stay alive and Megaman wanted to kill the presumed "aberrant unit".

The clone saw an opening in the fight and tripped Megaman. Megaman fell on his back and felt the pain coursing through his body. That didn't stop him though as he got back up with more anger in his face than before.

The clone jumped over Megaman and tripped him again. Megaman had enough of this. Megaman switched back over to his buster and started shooting at his target.

The clone knew what Megaman was after. "Let's see what you do when you have no buster," the clone stated to himself. The clone ran straight for Megaman again. Megaman thought he knew what the clone was doing but was surprised to find his buster gone after his clone had jumped over him again.

Megaman spun around and saw his clone standing in the street with Megaman's buster in one hand. Then in an instant the clone threw the buster into the crowd of people who had gathered to watch the Purifier Unit take down the aberrant.

The clone he had Megaman in a tight spot. The clone knew that Megaman wouldn't try to search for something in the middle of a battle and instead go for his opponent. The clone gave a taunting smile and Megaman roared as he ran for the clone.

Megaman started throwing wild punches. The clone dodged each one. He could see Megaman slowing down in the artificial daylight, the sun beating down on both of them. The clone had found out about his superiority while in the medical examination room. He knew about his bones and muscles.

Megaman felt himself slowing down. He had to back off but he didn't want to. His goal was to defeat his clone and rid Elysium of cloning for good. Megaman's punches were getting sloppier.

The clone saw this too. The clone then saw an opening and landed a right hook to Megaman's face. Megaman reeled back and felt the blood streaming down his face. Megaman needed that break now and decided to take it. His clone ran off. "No need to worry myself. I'll find him later." Megaman stayed on the street on one knee and waited until his strength returned to him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clone ran off in one certain direction. He knew of one place he good go to that could help him. He needed the Dragge armor to compete with Megaman.

The clone walked into the building and noticed the lights were off. If no one was here then taking the armor would be easy. The clone found the armor in its whole. He grabbed the legs and put them on first. Then went the torso and arms. After that he put the helmet on his head. The faceplate covered his face. The heads up display on the inside showed the status of everything the suit had to offer.

"Everything is good to go," the clone said to himself. The faceplate slid back into the helmet and the helmet eventually slid back into the torso armor. "No longer will I be referred to as forty-six but as Dragge. Get ready Megaman for I'm coming!"

[Dragge]

Chapter 5- Dragge Part:2

Megaman was walking along the street keeping on the lookout for his clone. Megaman had his buster back and swept it from side to side looking. He had taken a heavy shot a while back. The bleeding had finally stopped due to the pressure he put on the wound.

In the distance Megaman could see a black figure along the horizon walking slowly but steadily toward his location. Megaman's scowl never changed as the unknown person walked closer to him. The person eventually stopped about five feet in front of Megaman.

"Have you seen a person around that looks similar to me?" Megaman asked.

The helmet on the person slid back into the torso armor revealing the person's face. "Like this Megaman?" the clone asked. Megaman jumped at the sight of his clone's face. What Megaman hated more than his clone was the fact that his clone had armor to fight with.

The clone dodge-rolled away from Megaman and fired his buster. Megaman was hit in the back and slid down the street. He got back up however and directed his attention to his clone. "Give up forty-six! You can't win! I've been here for centuries and you've only been here a few hours!" Megaman shouted.

"Stop calling me forty-six. I no longer recognize that as my name," the clone responded.

"What do you call yourself?" Megaman's buster never left the clone's figure.

"My name is Dragge," Dragge said revealing his new name.

"Fine then! Bring it on Dragge! You're still going to lose!"

"We'll see about that Megaman," Dragge said quietly to himself. Dragge lifted his right arm and held the autofire unit ready. Megaman sprinted with hatred in his eyes. Dragge fired the autofire.

Megaman reeled back trying to shield his face from the bullets. The fire stopped coming. Megaman put his right arm down and saw Dragge right in his face. Dragge had his claws ready and struck for Megaman.

Megaman maneuvered out of the way and struck back with his fists. His left hand caught Dragge in the head. Dragge took the hit like it was nothing and went back to using his buster gun.

Megaman was hiding behind a tree and held his buster ready. He saw Dragge's shots fire off into the distance. Megaman just needed the right timing. Eventually Megaman found a break in the shots and abandoned his hiding place to face Dragge.

Dragge was ready and jumped up and over Megaman, spun around, and kicked Megaman's legs out from underneath him. Megaman fell forward onto his face. The cement hurt but it didn't matter right now.

Megaman sprung back up and kicked at Dragge. Megaman's kick caught Dragge in the torso and sent a few feet back. It didn't do much though. Dragge hadn't taken many hard hits. Megaman immediately was after Dragge again.

Megaman threw punches left and right but Dragge just stood still and dodged each throw. Dragge answered back and hit Megaman with a left hook. Megaman took the hit but came back and started again.

A shield was then thrown in between the two of them. They both recognized it as Protoman's. They looked up in the same direction. Up on one of the rooftops stood Protoman in the sun.

"As Guardian Unit for this district," Protoman shouted, "I command the two of you to stop at once." Protoman jumped down off of the house and grabbed his shield back. Protoman's yellow scarf blew in the wind.

"Protoman. I thought you said you wouldn't intervene with my decision," Megaman said his anger directed to Protoman.

"Wait, this is your clone?" Protoman asked pointing a finger to Dragge.

"Yes it is."

Protoman turned and looked at Dragge. "So do you have a name for yourself now?"

"Yes. I call myself Dragge."

"Interesting. So what's next?"

"Out of my way Protoman. I have unfinished business with Dragge."

Protoman stood in Megaman's way. "Stop Trigger. Think about it. You're the best Purifier Unit Elysium has ever seen. Your clone outlasted you. He has potential Trigger."

"Yeah I know that. He has a free will though. He can do whatever he wants."

"Are we so different Trigger? Think about it for a minute. We make our own decisions as well. We could turn as well and not even think of it as betraying someone."

Megaman let it set into him. He thought long and hard then finally came up with an answer. "You're right Protoman. We all have a free mind of our own to do what we want. He isn't' so different from us."

"See what I mean?"

"I hope you accept my apology Dragge," Megaman stated with regret in his eyes.

Dragge let a smile spread across his face. "It's all right Megaman." Dragge extended his right hand. Megaman took hold of it and shook hands each with a smile on their face.

Protoman came in with a smile on his face as well. "Come on! You still have yet to meet the Master!" Protoman exclaimed.

"That's right. Well you guys know where to find him," Dragge said.

"Follow us then," Megaman stated leading them to the nearest elevator to above ground.

[Dragge]

Chapter 6- The Master's Plans

Megaman had to stop at Sera's house to talk a few things over. Dragge and Protoman waited outside for him. Inside Sera was sitting in a chair with Geetz next to her. Megaman went down on to one knee. "Hello Mother Unit Sera."

"Megaman. Why are you here?" Sera asked staring down at Megaman.

"I've got an important message for you. The new suit of armor designed by you and Yuna is now in use. The operator is my clone who has now taken his name after the suit of armor."

"What do I care?" Sera now got up out of her chair and walked fairly close to Megaman but stopped a few feet away from him. "Are you taking him to see the Master?"

"Yes I am."

"Do not forget, the Master is the only true human remaining. The System exists only to protect and serve the Master. We exist for this and only this purpose."

"Yes Mother."

"Remember, the Master says illogical things at times. If he does, ignore him." Sera turned around and walked back toward her seat.

Geetz spoke up in his low yet somehow friendly voice. "I do not understand why the Master would wish to have a Unit such as that by his side... what would prompt such behavior?" Geetz had a dark shell like Sera. He had brown baggy pants and a white sleeveless top. On his forehead was a red eye surrounded by Elysium's symbol. His hair too was green and feel to his shoulders.

"The Master is, lonely." Sera stated in her monotone.

Megaman stood up and left the house. He saw Dragge and Protoman waiting outside for him. "About time you came," Protoman said. He was up against the wall without any expression on his face. Dragge said nothing as they left Sera's quarters and went for the Master.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge loved the Master's place. It had two water fountains which filled the floor below with water. There were raised platforms around so that one didn't have to walk in the water.

The Master was around a console which stood in front of a large shut door. Megaman was up on the larger platform right now next to the Master. They had a few matters to discuss then Dragge could be introduced to the man who ran the place.

The Master was dressed in a long white skirt type of clothing and a blue shirt that hung off of his shoulders. He had long golden hair and a white ring around his hair.

The Master spoke in a kind soft voice. "They scolded you again, did they not, my little friend? Don't be upset, Sera often reprimands me as well. And do you know why? I can show you. Observe."

The large door like item opened up and showed a city lit up all around. It looked beautiful. Better than anything Elysium had.

"Beautiful, is it not?" the Master continued. "These lights are one of the betas' cities. But these are not ordinary betas, I have modified them slightly. Betas, you call them carbons. Though artificially created, in the end they may be closer to, people, than you think. The people there know thirst, hunger, and disease, they suffer all of these things and in the end, they grow old and die. But for one brief moment, they shine as bright as the sun. Because they know these hardships, they also know the meaning of happiness. Compared to theirs, our perfect world is so cold and sterile. I'd like to ask you, to do something for me, Megaman. Can you take me there? What do you say?"

"Sure thing. Anytime you want to. Anyway to my part of business, I'd like to introduce you to my clone, Dragge." Dragge stepped over the few platforms and walked up to the Master and bowed before him.

"That isn't necessary Dragge," the Master said with a smile on his face. "We're all friends here."

"Yes we are. It's nice to finally meet you in person. I have Megaman's memories but just couldn't wait to finally see you."

"Looks like you finally have!" the Master said laughing a bit. The Master then noticed someone in red armor and shades behind Dragge. "Protoman, is that you?"

Protoman stepped forward. "Yes it is."

"I swear I haven't seen you in years. It's good to see a friendly face once again."

A small smile spread across Protoman's face as he stated, "Thanks."

"I'm glad you brought Dragge here for me to meet him Megaman. I always enjoy company. Also Megaman?"

"Yes Master?" Megaman asked giving the Master his full attention.

"Get a pod ready. Tomorrow I want to go to Terra and just experience what it's like down there."

"Sure thing. I'll get right to it." Megaman left ahead of the group. Protoman walked out afterward. Dragge was about to but turned around. "Do want me to stay and keep you company?" asked Dragge with a hint of concern in him.

"No thanks. I just want a bit of time to think things through. I'll see you tomorrow before Megaman and I leave."

"Will do." Dragge left the nice room and caught up with Megaman and Protoman.

The Master looked around at his room taking it all in. He had a few preparations left to complete before he and Megaman left the next day. He knew he wouldn't have anytime left to shut down the System so he would have to tell Megaman the final steps on what to do. He took out a small chip and downloaded his genetic sample onto it. He would give it to Megaman once on Terra. For a while he thought of good times of Elysium.

[Dragge]

Chapter 7- Terra

The trio consisting of Megaman, Protoman, and Dragge was putting the finishing touches on the shuttle pod that would take Megaman and the Master to Terra.

"How many of these things are stored here on Elysium?" Dragge asked polishing the top of the shuttle.

"I'm guessing about one-hundred," stated Megaman. "These things have been around longer than I've been here."

"How long Megaman?"

"Since the Elysium War," Megaman said to Dragge. Megaman sat down and started to think hard about that war that gave the Elysians their home.

Dragge was interested and sat down next to Megaman. "Can you tell me about it? I have your memories and all but I guess I can't remember that far back."

"Yeah sorry. It must be deep within your memory since it really wasn't that important to you. Well it started out about two-thousand years ago. The Master was young and strong. He had a massive group of people with him including Protoman, Sera, Yuna, and me." Megaman shifted his position of sitting so that he faced Dragge directly.

"The Elders, who had created the system of the same name, lived here first. We needed a place to call home. We were travelers for years. Exactly how long I don't know. Anyway the Master declared war against the Elders. There were about thirty of them, but they had the reaverbots on their side."

Dragge was fascinated by the story so far. His eyes were glued to Megaman and he didn't want to miss a bit of it.

"We went in and started the war right here in the docking bay. Their numbers were great but their skills were terrible. We wiped the floor with them," Megaman said sweeping his right hand into nothing. "Their leader, Nemesis, was cornered underneath what is now the Master's home in the Library. The Master used the Blade of Elysium to finish the fight. We won Elysium from total strangers."

Dragge needed to know a bit more. He leaned in and spoke to Megaman, "What happened to the Elders in the end?"

Megaman looked up at Dragge thinking for the best answer to his question. "They're stored within the Library. They were put away along with their Elder System. They haven't been able to get out either. Only the destruction of the Master System would release them from their prison."

Dragge had nothing to say. He had heard enough. Dragge got back up and with a look of satisfaction he went back to polishing. Protoman came around from the other side and scared Dragge off of the shuttle.

"Sorry I was so quiet. I knew the story myself so I thought that I would finish polishing the shuttle," Protoman said expressionless.

Dragge looked up at Protoman in pain. "I hate you so much right now," was all he could get out.

"Oh I know!" Protoman said laughing. Protoman jumped off of the shuttle and confronted Megaman. "So it's finally done Trigger?"

"Yep. It's finally ready for tomorrow. Listen I need to get some sleep. I'll see the two of you later."

Dragge and Protoman waved good-bye for now and talked among themselves. "What major role did you play in the Elysium War?" Dragge asked.

Protoman looked at Dragge without any signs of expression. "My role? My role wasn't as great as you think. I had to guard the central building now where the Master lives. I had to make sure that no reaverbots tried to enter. I wasn't much to them but I pulled through my goal in the end." Protoman wasn't much for talking about the war and turned his head off to the side.

Dragge knew that Protoman didn't want to talk and got up and left without saying anything.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman and the Master were inside the shuttle ready to take off. Dragge and Protoman were there too to make sure everything went fine in take-off. "You sure you don't want a third member?" Dragge asked looking at Megaman finish buckling up.

"No Dragge. You need to stay here for now until further notice. I may be back," Megaman said looking at the controls.

"Master, can't wait until you get back!" Dragge said with a smile.

"I'll see you again Dragge. Protoman, take over while I'm gone,"

Protoman walked over to the shuttle and reached in to shake the Master's hand. "Will do sir."

"Well, let's be off Megaman."

"Right." Dragge and Protoman stepped back and walked into the control room. Dragge put the communication device on.

"You're free to go. Take-off in three... two... one!" The shuttle flew out of the docking bay and went into space. "Good luck Megaman," Dragge said to himself. Protoman and Dragge wrapped things up and left waiting until their return.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you Megaman."

"Not a problem. Let's just touch down safely and we can talk a bit more." It wasn't that long of a ride before they landed on Terra. They landed on the outskirts of the city the Master had shown Megaman.

"Listen. To the sounds of everyday life. The sounds of city life. The smell, of evening meals being prepared. All this and more we in Elysium have lost. Thank you, Megaman. Thanks to you, I have finally been able to experience this for myself. For three-thousand years, I have been free from hardship and pain. A life of luxury and ease obeying my heart's desires. Seeing these people, grateful for the simple joys of life, I wonder, was I truly happy? I have made up my mind, Megaman. Carry out, my final command."

Megaman stood ready. "What is your mission?"

"I want you to destroy the System. I realize now that we were wrong. Correct my mistake. Make things, right again." The Master held out a chip.

"This is, a good luck charm. As long as you have it, no one can stop or harm you. Return to Elysium. Delete all data from the Library, you understand? Please, Megaman."

"I will Master. I'll shut down the System for good." Megaman was then in awe as light from the Master flew away from the last true human. "Master!"

"Hm! It looks as if though... my time has finally come. I know I cannot survive long outside of Elysium. Before... good-bye, Megaman. Thank you for all you have done for me... all these many years... I go now, into the arms of life... true Mother."

The Master was gone before Megaman knew it. Megaman fell to his knees to try and catch the last part of light from the Master. It wasn't necessary because the piece disappeared before Megaman could catch it.

Megaman stayed on his knees and wept alone. His closest friend was gone. Now though, he knew what he had to do. That chip held the Master's genetic code on it. He had to delete everything from the Library and soon.

Megaman looked at the chip wiping tears away. "Sera isn't getting her hands on this chip. With it she'll throw the switch for the Carbon Reinitialization Program and wipe out the Master's work." Megaman clutched the chip close to him and didn't let go of it.

There was one other thing for Megaman to do. He had to build a memory storage unit for all of his data and make sure that Sera couldn't scan it. The shuttle held spare parts inside. Megaman rummaged through all of the parts and found what was needed for memory storage.

An hour later a mechanical monkey sat in front on Megaman dancing happily back and forth. "Data, I need to trust you with important information. Do you think you can handle it?"

"Yes of course, Megaman!" a cheerful high pitched voice came. The nice thing about Data is that Megaman is the only one who can understand his companion. Megaman hooked himself up to data and started downloading ever thing from his memory to Data. Megaman even made a copy of the Master's genetic sample.

"I'm ready for anyone or anything that chooses to stand in my way," Megaman said to himself waiting for the downloading to finish.

[Dragge]

Chapter 8- Alone

The downloading was complete and Megaman had a communication link up and running. He had to get a hold of Dragge and Protoman. Eventually Dragge answered Megaman.

"What's up Megaman? How's Terra thus far?" Dragge asked over the link.

"The Master is dead Dragge. He's given me one final command and that's to destroy the System and delete everything from the Library."

"Why don't you do it then?"

Megaman didn't answer immediately. He brushed his hair back then answered. "They'll know something has happened to the Master. Especially if I come back without him. They'll all label me as an aberrant unit."

"So what will you do, Megaman?"

"I don't know, Dragge. I have to destroy the System somehow but I don't know how I'll sneak back onto Elysium. I do have a mission and I will complete it."

"I'll find a way to help you out Megaman. Just give me some time."

"Will do, Dragge. Good luck!"

"Thanks!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The link between the two of them broke. Dragge never noticed the spy behind him. The spy had gotten the info he needed and was headed straight for Sera.

The unit was running at full speed huffing and puffing along the way. This information had to reach Mother Unit Sera. The spy made it to Sera's place in record time. "Mother Unit Sera. I have gotten the data you require."

Sera looked at the unit. In her monotone she said, "Tell me all you have found out."

"The Master is dead. Megaman has been ordered to destroy the System and delete everything in the Library. Whether it was from the Master himself or another unit on Terra I'm not sure. He wants Dragge to find a way to get him back here."

"Geetz, get some of your personnel to watch over Dragge. Make them watch over Protoman too for Dragge will surely tell him. Make sure they don't get Megaman back here. Do you understand?"

Geetz went down to one knee. "I understand Mistress Sera. I will stop them no matter what." Geetz got back up and left the room.

"Thank you for your services unit," Sera said to the unit kneeling before her. The unit stood up with a look of satisfaction on its face. "You may leave."

The unit bowed and left. After the unit left Sera spoke to herself. "That purifier unit must not be allowed back onto Elysium. We are here to be of service to the System, not destroy it!" Sera got up from her seat and opened a secret room. She went in by herself and looked up at a large suit of battle armor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge rushed off for Protoman's place. No matter what he had to tell Protoman. While on his way he ran into Protoman himself.

Protoman rubbed his head. "Watch where you're going Dragge! What's the big rush?"

Dragge could barely get out what he was saying. "I g-g-got word from Megaman," Dragge said shaking a bit. "The Master is dead and he has orders to destroy the System and delete everything in the Library."

"Why doesn't he come back here himself?" Protoman asked a little annoyed.

"Everyone will think something happened and possibly label Megaman as an aberrant unit."

Protoman understood everything. "You're right. We have to get him back here somehow."

"Yes I know." Dragge stood up and even helped Protoman up. "Let's go. We need to get a shuttle ready and take it to Terra." Both of them rushed off for the docking bay.

They got there but couldn't do anything. Geetz's men were there blocking their path. "You cannot enter this area. It's under reconstruction." Dragge wanted to argue but decided to let it go. He and Protoman backed off and went back to the Master's house.

"What else can we do?" Dragge asked looking at Protoman. Dragge had a look of defeat on him as the two walked side-by-side toward the large house.

"Nothing. I just hope Trigger can hold out long enough for us to get there."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes I understand Sera. I'll demolish Purifier Unit Megaman Trigger," Yuna said over an open link. Yuna was on Terra with a large army of units from all over Elysium and Terra. Sera had told Yuna everything except for the Master dieing and Megaman getting orders to do what he was to do.

"Don't fail Elysium, Yuna." The link was gone. Yuna, Gatz, and the army was on Forbidden Island. They had word that Megaman was heading that way.

"Come on Megaman. You're in for a surprise!" Yuna said with a sly smile on her face.

[Dragge]

Chapter 9- Forbidden Fight Part:1

Megaman arrived on the island know to carbons as Forbidden Island. A stranger was kind enough to give him a lift to the island. The stranger couldn't get him directly to the island because of the maelstrom surrounding the island. Instead Megaman had to use a dropship to land.

The landing was rough and Megaman nearly cursed on impact. Megaman got out of the dropship and was greeted by Yuna and her army. "Welcome to your final fight Megaman Trigger," Yuna said not noticing the bitter weather.

"What is all this about?" Megaman asked in suspicion. He was outnumbered terribly. It was at least one-thousand against one.

"The Master is no longer and you are on a final mission. You're to destroy the System and delete every thing from the Library, am I correct?"

"Where did you get that information?" Megaman shouted. He was ready. He had his armor equipped and his buster straight out at the first sign of attack. Megaman put his yellow scarf on and waited until they attacked first.

"The answer to that question is none of your importance." Yuna then lifted up her right hand and gave the signal to attack. Units all from behind her rushed in to fight the aberrant. Megaman was persistent and didn't let up. He shot units left and right.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuna saw from the back that things were already starting to go bad for her and the army. "Master Trigger is strong, Yuna," Gatz said coming up behind Yuna.

"I know he is. That's why he was made into a purifier. He has the strength to probably take down even Sera if he wished to." Yuna said no more and watched the fight unfold. The numbers weren't decreasing by much but Megaman was still fighting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman dodged nearly ever shot that was fired his way. He would use others as shields then throw them into the crowd of Elysians. He was alone and as soon as he went down his mission failed. "For the Master," Megaman said to himself.

Megaman made a daring leap over everyone in front of him and ran. He could see Yuna and Gatz in the distance. They made a small attempt to distract him but it had no effect. Megaman had to get a message out to Dragge and Protoman. He needed back-up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mistress Yuna are you going to follow him?"

Yuna looked back at Gatz. "No Gatz. We aren't. I now realize why he's doing this. The Master gave him the commands. He and the Master were always close."

Gatz took it all in. "What are you going to tell Mistress Sera?"

"I'll tell her that I'm not helping out either cause. If she wants Megaman Trigger out of the way she can come here and do it herself."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sera was furious at Yuna's decision. It was time to finish off Megaman. Sera equipped her battle armor and the rest of the units from Elysium and went to Terra.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge and Protoman got the call from Megaman. He was outnumbered and needed backup. They were on their way. The two of them had rushed to the docking bay.

Protoman and Dragge were each taking a shuttle to Forbidden Island. Protoman had been done with his and was helping Dragge on his. Sera and the rest of the Elysians were coming into the docking bay at the worst possible time.

"I'll hold them off while you finish!" Protoman shouted holding his shield up and his buster forward.

"There's no time Protoman!" Dragge shoved Protoman into his shuttle and Dragge dove into his. Both shuttles launched into space away from the army.

Dragge's shuttle was unstable. It was starting to fall apart. "I'm losing it Protoman. It won't hold," Dragge said over the link. Dragge started doing whatever he could to save the ship but it wouldn't work. "I'll see you on..." The transmission broke.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protoman went to the shuttle's window. At first there was nothing from the explosion from the shuttle. Then out of the corner of his eye Protoman spotted Dragge. He had his helmet and faceplate on and was using his jets to propel him toward Terra.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge had to reach Terra quickly. He wouldn't last long with the amount of oxygen his suit contained. Dragge threw signal to Protoman that let him know he was all right. Dragge increased the power on the jets.

Before long, Dragge was entering Terra's atmosphere. The temperature on the inside of the suit was increasing. "H.U.D., show me current internal temperature." A screen came up with one-hundred twenty-two as the current internal temperature. Dragge was falling quicker now. He could see the maelstrom around Forbidden Island. Dragge went straight for the eye of the storm and fell deep to the surface below.

Dragge saw the snow surface and crashed. He had blacked out before he even hit the ground.

[Dragge]

Chapter 10- Forbidden Fight Part:2

Dragge woke up in the cold snow. "H.U.D., what's the current internal temperature?" A screen came up with sixty degrees. "Good enough." Dragge got up out of the snow and started walking in no particular direction.

Dragge then saw a figure in blue armor run toward him. It was definitely Megaman. Megaman rushed up to Dragge out of breath. "Is Protoman here?" Megaman asked catching his breath.

"No not yet. He should be here any minute in a shuttle."

"Did you take a shuttle?" Megaman asked looking up at Dragge.

"Yeah, but it blew up before I got here. I had to use my foot jets to get here before I lost all oxygen in my suit." Dragge looked off into the distance and saw a large army. "By the way, Sera is on her way here with everyone else from Elysium to back up this army."

"Well. Let's finish these guys up and when the time comes we'll finish off Sera." Megaman looked back to the army. It was much closer now and they were all eager to destroy Megaman.

The army started firing at Megaman and Dragge. The two of them fired back dodging all shots. Then a shield hit the ground. Megaman and Dragge looked up and saw Protoman coming out of the air.

"Long time no see!" Megaman shouted over the blaster fire.

"Had to help you out somehow. Your mission is important to the two of us as well." Protoman shot down a unit and kicked the legs out from underneath another. From behind a unit jumped on top of Protoman with a war yell. Protoman grabbed the unit and brought it over his head into the snow.

Dragge was hit from behind but rebounded with the autofire unit. The machine gun like weapon took out a good thirty or so units. Dragge then spun around and took out another random unit with his claws.

The fight raged on with almost now end in sight. The group of three held their ground and took down Elysians one-by-one. Eventually they were the only ones standing there.

Megaman looked up into the sky and saw one-hundred shuttles on their way down. It was Sera and her team. The last Elysians were coming to fight the three that were now marked as aberrant.

The ships exploded and the Elysians fell to the ground. They were over to the trio's spot in a matter of seconds. They were a walk in the park for Megaman and the others.

After each were defeated Dragge fell into the snow catching his breath. "It's over right?" he said looking concerned.

"No. There's still Sera," Megaman said pointing at Sera and Geetz.

"Let us help you Trigger," Protoman said trying to hold Megaman back.

Megaman wedged free of Protoman's grip. "This is my fight Protoman." Megaman walked on into the fight. Protoman found a plate of steel and sat on it. Dragge walked over holding the left side of his torso. The two of them sat in silence and was ready to see Megaman fight the Mother Unit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Megaman stood about fifty feet away from Sera and Geetz. Neither of them said a word. Sera then looked back in her big battle suit and nodded at Geetz. Behind his glasses you could see his expression change from one of calmness to anger.

Geetz shot forward. Megaman shoved him off to the side and shot him with his buster. Geetz shot back. The two of them were on each other neither one letting up. Megaman's scarf almost got into his face but maneuvered into a position where it wouldn't.

Megaman then remembered that Sera was there and looked back in anger. There was the persistence in his eyes. Sera held both arms up and about seven blue crystals appeared above her. Sera smiled and sent them toward Megaman.

Megaman took the hit and fell flat on his back. He got back up and fired randomly at Sera. After a minute he realized that he was firing into thin air. Sera then appeared behind Megaman and he knew it immediately. He spun around pointing his buster at Sera. Sera had her arm close to Megaman as well.

The glare on Megaman's face never left. Even when Sera began to smile. Geetz appeared behind Megaman and Megaman was shocked at their strategy. Megaman then fired his buster at Geetz. Geetz fell over into the snow. Megaman then spun back around, did a back-flip, and kicked Sera's helmet off in mid-air.

Megaman was on his knees. He looked up at Sera who had been moved back by the kick. In the distance he could see the helmet land. There was blood streaming down Sera's face. That didn't stop her though.

"Geetz!" Geetz came from behind Sera in a golden reaverbot-bird like mechanism. It shot at Megaman but Megaman was able to dodge and get a few good hits in that forced Geetz's ship to land. Geetz went back into his humanized form. Geetz was out. Now all that was left was Sera.

Megaman and Sera charged at each other with a flame in their souls. The fight after that didn't last long. Sera fell out of the battle armor. Her clothes were tattered and flew away with the frenzy of a storm.

Megaman fell into the snow as well. His energy was expended. Most of his body was battered and hardly recognizable. Yuna walked over to Megaman and picked up his body. "Gatz. Get Megaman's body away from here. Take it and reset his parameters. Also take that little monkey he made with him."

"Yes. Right away." Gatz turned into a silver bird just like Geetz and took off with Megaman's body. Dragge and Protoman rushed over to Yuna. Yuna was picking up Sera's body.

"Will one of you pick up Geetz's body?" Dragge did what Sera wanted and brought the unconscious body over to Yuna. Yuna created a stasis pod and stored both of them away. The pod flew high into the air and started to rotate clock-wise.

"What will happen to Megaman?" Dragge asked concerned for his creator.

Yuna looked at Dragge and Protoman. "His body will be reset and stored in a stasis pod like this one," she said pointing to the one she created. "Exactly when he will be awakened, I don't know."

Protoman asked, "What are you going to do Yuna?"

"I'm going to stay here and turn people away. Sera shouldn't be awakened ever again. If she wakes up and gets the keys to the Library, she'll use the Carbon Reinitialization Program to wipe the carbons out."

"Looks like this is good-bye for now Yuna. Protoman and I might as well wait out here on Terra until Megaman reawakens. Maybe we'll cross paths again," Dragge said holding a hand out. Yuna put her hand out and both of them shook hands.

Dragge and Protoman walked away from the ice field. "Where now Protoman?" Dragge asked looking at his now closest friend.

"Anywhere. At least until we get word of Megaman's return."

"We need a ship to get anywhere." Dragge said sarcastically. Protoman looked at him.

"I know that. That's why I got this before coming here." Sitting in front of Dragge was a black ship. Protoman headed up the ladder. Dragge followed after him.

Protoman walked into the bridge. He got behind the controls and steered the small ship into the sky. They didn't know where they were going, but it was better than where they were.

[Dragge]

Chapter 11- Ostasis Island

It was about two hours into their ride and things were going bad. The ship's engine was failing and fast. Protoman couldn't get the ship going in the right direction and Dragge was stumbling along the passage ways trying to go from the tool room to the engine room.

Protoman turned the wheel to the right and the ship would lurch to the left. If he tried to the left the ship would turn right. "Dragge, forget the engine! Just get up here and help me out." Dragge busted through the door.

"What should we do?"

Protoman pointed to a desk. "Grab the map out of there and see exactly where we are!"

Dragge got the map out and unrolled it. "There's a small island called Ostasis about thirty miles south of our current location!"

Protoman turned the ship around and headed for Ostasis Island. Protoman could see it out of the front windows. It was a small island, just as Dragge claimed, covered with a few forests and a small waterfall that led to a calm flowing river. Protoman took the ship and saw the perfect place to land. "Dragge hold on to something back there because we're about to..." Protoman had tried getting out but the ship crashed.

Dragge flew forward and hit his head off of the metal panels and remembered nothing about getting out of the wreckage. Protoman saw Dragge's bleeding head and picked him up and slung him over his shoulders.

Protoman got out of the badly made ship and walked in no particular direction. Protoman eventually fell over unable to carry Dragge anymore. "Don't worry Dragge. I'll get you somewhere." Protoman crawled a bit and eventually turned over onto his back starring through his lenses up into the mid-day sky.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elunia was the nicest woman on the small island of Ostasis. There was only one city and it was named after the island. It covered most of the island. It wasn't full of skyscrapers, but it was a quiet city. There was never any trouble.

Elunia was twenty-one years old about five foot seven inches. She had black hair and a great build. Every man in the city wanted to marry her but she wasn't ready and turned them all down.

She went out for a daily walk into the Teratributan Planes. It was a large area with trees and the best flowers you could ever find.

Elunia was about half-way through her walk when she saw the huge explosion. She started into a sprint then into a full run. She came across two stranger. Both were white and about twenty-years or so in age. The one in black armor had a muscular build and a clean shaved face. The one in red armor was still muscular but not as much as the other. You could only see the lower half of his face and despite the weather he wore a yellow scarf.

Elunia ran over to them both and tried to make sure one of them was awake. The one in red armor was, but hardly. "Help us please," the man in red said his voice weakening. Elunia started to help him up but he put his hand on her arm. "Get the other one. He blacked out and may need medical attention.

Elunia walked over to the man in black armor and helped him up. The man in red got up on his own and clutched his right side. Elunia decided to take the time to walk back to the city questioning the man in red. "Are you all right?" Elunia asked with concern for the strangers.

"Don't know. It feels like a couple of my ribs are cracked but I can't be sure." The man in red armor stopped for a second then quickly returned to the crash site. He returned with a rather large shield. "I don't leave without it," he said putting on the back of his armor.

"I'll get you both to the hospital. It's not a far walk from here. It's been placed at the entrance to the city ever since I can remember."

"Thank you very much. I appreciate that a lot. I'm sure he will too." The two of them walked on. Elunia and the man in red took turns carrying the black armored person. Elunia looked upon his beautiful face blackened with soot.

Elunia looked up at the white face of the other person and wondered why he hadn't taken his helmet off. Out of curiosity she asked him. "Why don't you take that helmet off? I mean sure the sun is out but we're walking away from it."

The man in red said nothing for the longest time before answering. He hated it when people back where he came from asked that. This woman had helped him out however. She deserved to know. "I don't take it off for medical reasons. I'm almost blind without these. They enhance my sight. That's why I don't take it off."

"We could give you replacements at the hospital," Elunia said wanting to help get rid of his partial blindness.

The man in red shook his head. "I've lived like this my entire life and I'm not about to change things. Even if it is for the better. So what city is this?"

"Ostasis. It was named after the island ever since the island was found. We don't get visitors often. Whether it's luck or something else, I'm glad to meet you. By the way I'm Elunia."

The man in red looked in her direction. "Nice to meet you. I'm Protoman Enigma and this here is Dragge Trigger. I'll fill you in on our story once we get to the hospital."

"Well get ready because we're almost there."

[Dragge]

Chapter 12- Coming Back Around

A man that looked to be twenty years old or so with dark brown hair, dark blue eyes, and black armor woke up. He kept his eyes shut as he made some recollections in his mind. 'My name is Dragge Trigger, a more than perfect clone of First Class Purifier Unit Megaman Trigger. I came from the world known as Elysium. Megaman traveled to Terra by permission of the Master along with the Master himself. Upon the Master's death Megaman got one more command from the Master, destroy the System and delete everything from the Library. Yuna and half of Elysium's unit went to Forbidden Island to fight Megaman. Yuna went neutral which forced Sera and the rest of the Elysians to fight Megaman as well. I came here before Sera with Protoman Enigma and helped fight off the Elysians. Megaman then single handedly fought Sera and Geetz. Both expended all of their energy fighting one another. Megaman was taken to a remote location and Sera along with Geetz were put away on Forbidden Island. Megaman will be kept in his stasis pod until all of parameters are reset.'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's our story so far," Protoman concluded. His helmet was off for the first time in a long time. Elunia was holding his hands so that he knew she was still there. Elunia hadn't said a word through the whole story.

"That's interesting. I've never heard of anything like that before. So you guys need a place to stay until you hear of your friend?"

"That's it. We have no idea how long it'll take either. I hope you don't mind us staying at your place for a while. The two of us need some money and right now we have none."

"You guys can always dig in the local ruins. The reaverbots you destroy leave zenny afterward."

"Thanks. I'm going to stay here now until Dragge gets better though."

"I can understand that. He seems like a real charmer," Elunia said looking over at Dragge. Dragge then opened his eyes and looked around.

"We took a ship and crashed but I can't recall the name of the island. It's on the tip of my tongue," Dragge said to himself.

"You're on Ostasis Island. We're in the hospital in the only city on the island, Ostasis."

"Who are you?" Dragge asked trying to get out of the bed.

"I'm Elunia. I helped you and your friend."

Dragge looked over at Protoman who now had his helmet back on. "She helped us Protoman?"

Protoman stood up and adjusted his helmet. "She sure did. She did a good job to help carry you here."

"Thanks Elunia." Dragge moved out of the bed with a look of hurt on his face. He clutched his right arm.

"We were both badly damaged in the crash. I broke a few ribs which was nothing but you suffered some heavy damage. Your head was bleeding a bit and you got a small fracture in your upper right arm," Protoman said helping Dragge hold himself up.

"Well, now what?" Dragge asked looking at his friend.

"Elunia has agreed to let us stay at her house until we get some money and a place of our own. Come on. Let's get out of here and head to her place. You should be able to relax more there than here."

"That sounds good to me. Let's get out of here. We need to think about what we'll do when Megaman comes back." Dragge limped a bit while walking out of the room but Protoman held him up.

[Dragge]

Chapter 13- Pirates

Two figures stood on the outskirts of Ostasis City looking down on the small figures rushing about to everyday life. One of the figures had a tan and rust colored armor with red hair. He carried a broad edged sword and a small bladed boomerang. He floated above the ground looking nonchalantly. He also had red eyes and a tanned face. The only part that one couldn't see about his face was his mouth. His mouth was covered by a tan cloth.

The other figure was a large brute. He had bulky, gray armor. In one hand he held a large, long barreled gun. His hair was bright red and he had yellow and red eyes. He had so many scars on his face that one couldn't count them all. He had a rough voice and really didn't care. "Hey Bola, Is it time to strike yet? We've been sitting here for hours."

His partner Bola looked over at him. "Of course it's time. Let's head down steal what we can then get out of here."

"We should have done this earlier! You know that Loath hates it when he doesn't get his money on time."

"You know Klaymoor, Lex can just die for all I care. He's too large and too rich to go out and do these things himself. He has to have others go do his biddings."

"Just shut up and let's get down there Bola."

"Whatever!" Bola and Klaymoor both disappeared in a cloud of smoke. They were gone for now but would come back up down in the city within a matter of minutes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"My house is just up ahead!" Elunia shouted over the city life. Dragge and Protoman were just a few steps behind her. From the outside it looked like a nice house for a single woman.

"I'm good for no Protoman," Dragge said in a hushed tone. "I can make it the rest of the way." Protoman let go of his friend and let him walk slowly over to the house. Dragge still had a little pain in his leg but it wasn't as bad as his arm. His arm felt as if it were on fire.

Dragge and Protoman were just at the door when people down the street started shouting and running wildly through the streets. Dragge and Protoman rushed over to see what was the problem. They both reached the center of the city and there were two figures in armor shouting out commands.

The one in the tan armor was shouting to people to bring their valuables to them and the one in gray armor held his gun toward the crowd should somebody try something.

Dragge looked over at Protoman and Protoman had the same thoughts. "Let's help this city out Protoman. They may not know us much but we can at least help them."

Protoman nodded. "All right then. I get the one in tan armor. You're still a little bad on that leg so the huge one should be no match for you. Just watch your right arm."

Dragge's helmet came up from his armor and formed around his face. "Watch your ribs." Dragge rushed into the crowd and saw the two felons in the middle. "Stop right where you are!" Dragge shouted pointing his buster at either one of them.

"What the crap is this?!" the one in gray shouted. "Bola I thought you said that they didn't have a police force!"

"They don't Klaymoor. He must be from somewhere else. Just who are you?"

"I'm known as Dragge. My friend is Protoman."

Bola was about to ask 'What friend?' but he soon found out. Protoman jumped from behind and tackled Bola to the ground. Klaymoor was left alone with Dragge.

"Bring it little man!" Klaymoor shouted in his rough voice. Dragge jumped and shot his buster at the hulking man. Klaymoor just laughed as the shots did little damage to his armor. "Is that all you have?!"

"I'm just getting warmed up!" Dragge's buster returned into his left arm armor. Then out of the tips of his fingers shot small laser blades. Dragge snarled and leaped again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protoman slugged Bola in the face. Bola got the right chance and hit Protoman with the handle of his sword. Protoman fell over but got back up immediately. Protoman looked down at where Bola was but didn't see him.

Bola reappeared behind Protoman and hit him with his sword. Protoman felt the sting and was sent stumbling forward. Protoman jumped up and took his shield out. Protoman also activated his buster and shot at the ghostly enemy. He was quick and Protoman gave him points there.

Bola was up in the air and came back down to the ground at a speed of twenty miles per hour. Bola's sword slammed into the ground and sent a shock wave out. Protoman felt the hit and fell backward.

Protoman stayed on the ground and shot at Bola. Bola blocked most of the shots with his sword but some shots did get in. Bola disappeared then reappeared closer to Protoman. Out of instinct, Protoman shot his foot straight up and caught Bola in the midsection. Bola doubled over trying to catch his breath. Protoman got up and grabbed Bola by his arms.

Protoman spun Bola around and gave him a right hook to the jaw and kept at it. Bola was growing impatient. Bola's right hand came up and grabbed Protoman's helmet. Bola took it off of Protoman's head and tossed it high into the air. Bola then grabbed his sword and went to slice it in half.

Protoman grabbed his shield threw it. By luck he his Bola with it. "Don't you even dare destroy that helmet!" Protoman heard his helmet hit the ground and tried walking toward the sound but couldn't find it.

The next thing Protoman knew he could see again. He looked up and saw Elunia's smiling face. "Your doing good Protoman. Finish him off."

Protoman nodded and went off in search for Bola.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragge was flying through the air again. Klaymoor had power behind ever punch. He had used his gun too but only when Dragge was out of reach. Dragge landed next to an abandoned building.

Dragge tried to get up while favoring his left arm but Klaymoor was there in an instant. Dragge could feel Klaymoor pick him up for he was being crushed inside his armor. "You weren't meant to fight weakling!" Klaymoor insulted. Klaymoor then reeled his arm back and threw Dragge into the abandoned building.

Dragge hit the wall inside the building hard and nearly blacked out. Dragge looked through his helmet and saw stray shots firing through the front of the building. Then something caught Dragge's eye. There were barrels of oil inside there. If one were to get hit the whole place would go up in flames.

Dragge tried getting up but the pain was unbearable. Then it happened. The house was engulfed with flames. Dragge couldn't see much but he knew where the entrance was. "H.U.D., current internal temperature." The screen came up with ninety degrees and rising. "All right let's do this again."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Klaymoor saw the house go up in flames and laughed to himself. "He has to be dead. There's no way he could survive that!" Klaymoor continued to laugh but almost chocked when he saw Dragge step out of the building. His armor was flaming in some areas but it soon went out.

"Now it's my turn," Dragge said to himself. The autofire unit covered Dragge's right arm. Very painfully, Dragge lifted his right arm up and supported it with his left arm. The weapon fired and started doing real damage to Klaymoor's armor. 'He's weakening.' Dragge thought to himself.

Klaymoor had enough. "Bola we're done here! We can't take this punishment much more!"

"I agree!" came Bola's soft voice. "Let's get outta here!" After that both partners left. Dragge stumbled over to Protoman. Elunia was coming right up behind Protoman.

"Let's get you guys to my place. Those pirates probably won't bother us for quite some time."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bola and Klaymoor stood in the office of a very rich man. His name was Lex Loath. He had to have been the ugliest person alive. He was overweight and had a long metal carrot shaped nose. His hair was terrible, it was only a tip of dirty blond color.

"We couldn't get anything Lex." Bola said floating above the carpet.

Lex almost lashed out at Bola but didn't. "Why couldn't you get anything?! Ostasis has no police force!"

Klaymoor came into the conversation. "Two diggers crashed there earlier that day and put a stop to our pillage."

Lex cursed then returned to his desk. "What did they look like?" Lex asked.

"One had black armor with a "D" in the middle of the torso and the other had red armor, a yellow scarf, and a large shield. His helmet also contained what appear to be shades." Bola said giving the descriptions. "What do you plan on doing?"

"I'm getting my best man to get rid of these two." Lex punched a number on his phone. "Yeah, Glyde? I have a mission for you. The pay? Two-million zenny for them both dead. I'll give you the descriptions later." Lex hung up the phone and turned his chair back toward Bola and Klaymoor.

"Who was that?" Klaymoor asked.

"Glyde," was all that Lex said.
