Hello Megaman Archive readers.

Update: The day after I posted this, Fanfiction.., for some reason deleated the story but kept the chapter in my account. Sorry.

The plot of this story just one day popped up in my head.
You would think that people would have done this before, but from what I can see, no one has ever thought of having Megaman split from his different forms.

This story will be a light hearted at first. It will get a tinge darker and actiony in the middle, but many this story is just for kicks. It is also a combination of the game, anime and manga. This story also takes a few years after the sixth game, so every one is like in their teens, including the NetNavis. So imagine both Megaman and Roll and any other Navi in a mature form.

That and I wanted to add another MegamanxRoll story.

So in enjoy just something I thought that would be funny.

Did you know that In Megaman Starforce 2 in Lan's dairies that Megaman and Roll have a son of their own. So in other words…

IT'S CANNON!

By True-InTha-Blue

A Megaman short-story.

It was after a few years of the Cyber Beast crisis. Lan and MegaMan with their friends were all at Si-Labs to meet his Dad about something he called them about. Dr. Hikari said that he developed a way that would tap directly into MegaMan's true potential helping him along his way to become the true Ultimate NetNavi. Needless to say that MegaMan was looking forward to this, he said that if it would help him protect his friends than let get it as soon as possible. Though he didn't tell anyone else that he also just wanted to become more powerful, as that was his pride talking.

"Where is he?" Lan tapped his foot impatiently. They just arrived to Sci-Labs and Dr. Hikari was nowhere in sight. "And people say that I'm late all the time."

"Give it a rest Lan, you know your Dad is very busy. It's a surprise that he can schedule an appointment with us at all." Mayl scolded him.

"True but I too really want to see what Dr. Hikari will do to help MegaMan." Yai said. "Maybe I could also use it to help Glide." A tall brown figure appeared on one of the monitors in the lab.

"Now, now Miss Yai, I'm faltered that you wish to do that for me but even with that I can compare to nothing against MegaMan's power."

Yai just shrugged. "It was worth a thought."

A large dark-skinned boy next to her had similar thoughts. "Yeah… well if Gutsman also got that than we would just be as powerful as Megaman."

"Yeah! We'll be Mega-Strong Guts guts!" Another screen appeared showing a large robot looking Navi.

Behind the Navi in the Cyber world, MegaMan snickered slightly. His companion, Roll, looked strangely at him. "Is there something wrong Mega?"

A warm feeling always coursed down his circuits when she used his nickname. "Ah it's nothing Roll. But I do have to agree with Lan, I wonder were Dr. Hikari is. I am… a bit anxious to know what he has in store for me" he couldn't keep the want out of his voice for this new power. Honestly sometimes he was disturbed on how power-hungry he could be; it was almost like he was Bass.

Roll threw a concerned look at MegaMan. Unlike his Netop she wasn't dense enough to figure out that Megaman did have somewhat of a problem when it came to getting power. That's why she was here, so that he wouldn't go out of control this time.

Over the years she and MegaMan have grown… close in terms of relationship. They were not afraid to show affection to each other like their Netops. The two enjoyed each other presence and would go to each one another if the other felt lonely.
Lately MegaMan had been feeling lonely. As his brother kept growing up, the reality that Lan was a human and MegaMan was a cyber being kept getting larger and larger. Lan had his limited life ahead of him; he had to do school, work, sports, jobs and to be with his friends while he was young. Lan couldn't spend all his time with his cyber twin brother who was a world (or dimension) apart from him.

And MegaMan who was as eternal as the Net was would forever live even past his Netop's life. Sure MegaMan could too 'grow' (as shown from the foot of height he'd grown and the extra muscles that were showing through his suit) but he would not age like Lan.

As the years grew, so too did their independence. Lan had his human life with his human friends, and MegaMan had his cyber life with his Navi friends or Roll who was defiantly more than a friend.

A few more minutes passed when Yuchiro Hikari showed up. "Ah it good to see everyone." He addressed the group of kids and their Navis in front of him.

"So dad, what is this secret program that's going to help MegaMan?" Lan asked, his impatience had faded away and was replaced with excitement.

Yuchiro smiled. "Well it has taken me a while but I finally found a way that MegaMan can uses his Soul, Style-change, Crosses, and Beast-forms without the use of chips or other certain conditions. In other words he will be able to call them at will."

"Wow that's amazing!" Mayl said and the other agreed. Without the hindrance of chips deciding his power, MegaMan could easily defeat the most toughest of Navis without much help from his NetOp for an unlimited time.

"Let me guess, there's a catch." MegaMan's screen also appeared on the monitor followed by Roll.

To the kid's dismay the doctor nodded. "Yes I'm afraid so. MegaMan you must be completely emotionless and relaxed during the processes otherwise the Data flow will get disrupted and while this happens the process will hurt a bit."

"Why would that be?" Dex asked. He didn't understand much about the technical things when it came to the net.

"MegaMan's data is very unique, more so then any other Navi. During when we are in the process, the data flow would become very delicate and unstable. It's important that Megaman must remain stagnant throughout it."

Like their Netops, the Navis looked at each other for answers. "I guess that's fine. When do we start?" The Blue Bomber asked the screen that held the image of Dr. Hikari.

"Right now, just go into that back room and I'll get the program started. I'm ready whenever you are."

"Right, well I better get this over with." MegaMan said before he heard two pings. E-mails appeared in front of Gutsman and Glide. Opening them both to read they both sighed in disappointment.

"It seems that Miss Yai has an appointment soon. I'm afraid we can't stay for this" Glide said.

Gutsman also had something similar. "Yeah…guts… Dex's Mom wants him now. Looks like we have to go too."

MegaMan shrugged understanding his friends' needs. "It's alright. I'll give you a demonstration tomorrow at Lan's school."

They both smiled sadly before logging out then Megaman turned to Roll. "It looks like you're going to be the first one who sees me. Honestly I wouldn't have it any other way."

Roll blushed at the comment. "Yeah; excited?"

"A bit." He rolled his now broad shoulders out of habit. "Though if it's like any of the other processes I had to go through, this will hurt, a lot." Then he felt her give him a quick peck on the cheek. His face flushed with excitement and a little bit of embarrassment. "Uh… what?"

Roll's face turned a bit redder. "It to help ease the pain before you go in."

"Do I get another one afterward?"

She lightly punched him on the arm. "Only if you battle me then. I have been looking for a good fight lately."

He laughed slightly before heading off.

For this process Megaman had to be strapped against the digital wall to prevent him from hurting himself. Aiming right at him was a odd looking laser cannon that was suppose to help rearrange the Data inside of him, that, and give him the human equivalent shock of over 16000 volts. 'I knew this was going to hurt.' He thought with a sigh before looking at the others. Roll looked from another room with a digital glass window. Yuchiro, Lan and Mayl observed from a screen from the human world.

"Are you ready MegaMan? Don't forget you have to remain calm and stoic for this." Dr. Hikari reminded him.

"I'm ready when you are sir." He said bracing himself for the pain. The cannon began to collect light particles, making a high pitched whine as the charge got higher and higher. Then without any warning a beam made up of light blue squares shot right through him. He hissed through gritted teeth as the pain coursed in him. The restrainers were already struggling to hold him in as the pain intensified. Faintly he could hear Lan speak some concern.

"Is he going to be okay? It really looks like it's hurting him."

"It's nothing that he hasn't felt before but you must understand that we are rearranging his data and powers, it is not an easy process."

MegaMan struggled to remain calm in this situation as the pain just keep getting worse and worse. With great effort he tried to think of the other sensations the beam was causing him. Like the warmth. As the sting increased so did this odd warmth that flowed through him. In a way now that he was focusing on it, the warmth was almost like an antidote for the pain. It reminded him… it reminded him of Roll's kiss earlier.
As soon as that thought entered his head, Megaman couldn't help but close his eyes and go into a day dream of him and her. It was blissful, it was peace, and it was helping against the pain. Unfortunately something loud and beeping disrupted him.

Opening his eyes he saw the whole place flashing bright red and the beam had turned orange. He saw Yuchiro working frantically on the keyboard trying to stop from whatever was going on. As he was succumbed back into reality, he also noticed that the pain in him had intensified, so much that he couldn't even speak let alone hear the frantic voices of his friends crying out to him.

"Dad what's going on?" Lan cried out to his father. First everything was going fine and when it was almost complete the whole thing went haywire! Yuchiro was about to answer until the keyboard started to spark and stream out electricity. In the cyber-world the whole room where MegaMan was in started to explode in random places.

Ignoring the pain he felt, the Blue Bomber tried to fight against the restraints to get out of the collapsing room. The digital metal groaned and stretched at the pull, struggling to keep intact. Finally he broke the shackles and tumbled forward.
His head was aching as he tried to get his balance on the tumbling room. To him everything was blurry and dizzying, he couldn't even notice the massive explosion that was right next to him.
Before Megaman knew it, he was hurtled across the room and his left arm was searing in agony. But he did manage to collect his thoughts in time to notice something terribly wrong. 'Wait… left arm?' Looking at it he could only see a stump of it left with data leaking out of it like blood.
He was so shocked that he barely heard glass be broken.

"MEGAMAN WHERE ARE YOU?" Roll's frantic voice sounded through the fires and explosions. MegaMan tried to rise to see her, his voice horse form shock. His legs gave out beneath him though and right when he was about to hit the ground yellow bands stopped him at the last moment. Half conscious and half fainted he hardly notice Roll drag him out of burning room before he succumbed to his exhaustion.

When MegaMan awoke he saw a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes staring worriedly at him. He smiled knowing who those eyes belonged to. "Roll…" he croaked trying to get up though he was still tired from losing all that data.

Roll's eye's flashed with relief and concern; gently she pushed him back down. "Your still weak from the process, you need to rest." Reluctantly he laid back down.

"How did it go?" he asked about the process though his guts told him that it was nothing good. His suspicions were confirmed when Roll bent her head down with a disappointed look on the face.

"I'm sorry MegaMan I shouldn't have been there. The whole thing went haywire and the data collected was lost, the room itself blew up sending chunks of data everywhere. But Lan and Mayl are with Dr. Hikari; their wondering what went wrong with the operation." MegaMan did feel in the pit of his stomach of the loss of the new power; secretly feeling ashamed that he didn't listen to Dr. Hikari about staying emotionless.

"Hey it's alright Roll." He said trying to comfort her with his one and a half arms. "You saved my life back there. I owe you."

Roll looked a little cheered up by this. "Yeah… but it looks like we'll have to postpone the Net-Battle I wanted, with your arm… ehhh." She grimaced at the stump of his left arm, the data flow was stopped but still, to a navi this was the equivalent to a human staring at someone arm being chopped off.

MegaMan chuckled. "Don't worry it will grow back by tomorrow after Lan has gone to school, then you and I can battle as long as we want to okay?"

The smile she gave him warmed his core. "Alright Mega… And maybe after that, we can go help Dr. Hikari fixing up the program!" She'd do anything to help him out, she owed him that much. Then Lan and Mayl's faces appeared on screens next to them.

"Thank goodness your alright Megaman." Mayl said relieved.

"Yeah you really had us going there." Lan breathed a sigh in relief, glad that his NetNavi was alright. "I wondered what happened back there to make the whole thing blow up like that."

MegaMan and Roll just shrugged not wishing to tell the humans that it was technically their fault. "We're actually hoping to help out with Dr. Hikari tomorrow with it that is if you let us have a day off." Roll asked nicely. Human or Navi no one could resist her charm.

She was right. "Of course you guys can have the day off. You need it after rescuing MegaMan from that cyber fire, right Lan?" She asked. Predictably, Lan agreed with her.

"Yeah sure. You don't mind do ya MegaMan?"

"Nope; actually, I do need it off in order to heal my arm properly. But it should be fully re-grown by around late morning if I do it slowly. Don't worry though; I still wake you up normal time." The Blue Bomber said with a smirk.

Everyone laughed as Lan's dismay not knowing the chaos that tomorrow would bring. Particularly for a certain pink Navi.

Roll awoke early in the morning. Her Netop was still in her bed sleeping peaceful dreams.

'Probably about Lan.' She though with a giggle. As usual she did a quick check up on her counsel to make sure everything was in order. Her home room is where she put all the information she transferred in the PET every day. To humans it looked like a computer screen with a bunch of jumbled data in it. But to a Navi's eye, it was a clean white and crisp room full of famous human paintings, posters of famous dancers and digital plants.
Looking around the space she instantly saw Mayl's homework right in the place she left it. Roll prided herself in keeping her Netop's data safe and organized; but today she had to transmit it to react automatically with the PET commands as she herself was not going to be there seeing that she had to take care of MegaMan.

"That is, if he doesn't use this situation to try to smother me in affection like he usually does." She muttered to herself while she arranged some files.

"Who tries to smother you in affection usually?" a familiar voice came from behind her; an arm slugged behind her. But Roll widens her eyes feeling the arm around her. It was large and metallic, and the chest pressed behind her very muscled, more so than MegaMan's.

Quicker before the mysterious figure could react, Roll extended her yellow bands to fling him back. But before she could turn around to see who it was, laughter assaulted her sensors and she knew that laugh; it was something so familiar that even in a crowd she could seek it out.

"Mega what happ—" But the word seized in her throat seeing who… what it was. It was MegaMan but he was in HeatGuts style. A red suit replaced his blue one, and a mammoth first covered his right arm.
The red MegaMan laughed heartily, as though her attack on him was nothing more than a small tickle.

"Ah little Roll, good one! I love it when you're that aggressive!" HeatGuts Megaman said getting up.

"Me…. MegaMan?" Roll stepped back, intimidated by his boisterous behavior. HeatGuts grinned broadly at her, everything thing about him reeked of confidence.

"What's the matter Roll?" He arched an eyebrow at her. "Why are you worried?"

"I ummm… I…"

"Roll are you alright?" Mayl called through the speakers of the counsels having woken up herself. She was completely oblivious to what was going on in her Navi's home room. "I am going to school now."

"Yeah sure Mayl, everything is in order. You're scheduled for a piano lessons at 3:00. So don't let Dex and Lan keep you up." She said calmly enough to not worry her Netop even though her coding felt like it was being twisted.

After hearing the door close, HeatGuts went back to the subject at hand. "So what's got you bothered? Tell me and it will not be a problem for long." He gestured to the large arm, promising the imaginary foe deletion by it not realizing that it was he himself that was causing her the anxiety.
But this didn't make sense, MegaMan was sensitive to these types of things, he always knew when he said something that bothered her. But now he was acting like he was king of the world, proud and cocky. 'What is going on here?' she wondered.

"Um… MegaMan shouldn't you be waking up Lan by now?" she asked timidly not knowing what to expect.

It was odd seeing his facial expressions. His eyes widen as though he just realized this, then they scrunched up like it was something he rather not be doing. "Oh right Lan…" HeatGuts rolled his eyes. "Yeah… uhhh, why should I?" He asked as though the answer was obvious.

"Because he's your Netop?"

"Yeah… and he never listens to me anyway." HeatGuts said with a shrug. He then tried to put his arm around Roll who skillfully maneuvered out of it. She began to push him towards the connection portal to MegaMan's home room. "Hey—what are you doing?"

"Going to see what's wrong with you." Roll said in a slightly raised voice that offered no room to argue as they stepped in the portal.

X

Upon entering, it was immediately recognizable, by its blue hued walls and furniture, huge bookshelves and the classical music that was programmed to forever to play in the background.

But as soon as they got there, it occurred to Roll that something was terribly, terribly wrong.

"Oh good Roll you're here. Took me forever to wake up Lan and-" The original MegaMan, in all his blue suited glory, stood in shock seeing a red copy of himself being pushed by the source of his affections, Roll.
With out another word the Mega Buster went up quicker then HeatGuts could react. "Who are you and why do you look like me?" His voice was dangerously calm yet demanding answers.

Roll's eyes widen seeing this, worried what could have possibly gone wrong so that there were two MegaMans. She peered up at the red MegaMan's face.
But HeatGuts just stood there scowling furiously standing in front of Roll as though to keep her away from Megaman. "Who am I? I'm MegaMan! The real question here is who are you and why do you look like some cheep weaker knock-off of me?" HeatGuts barked at the blue version of him. Without waiting for an answer, the HeatGuts charged at MegaMan, who in retuned fired Buster Shot's towards him. The two look alikes collided and started to tussle and fight each other. Both of them were determined to show who the real MegaMan was.

"Hey guys knock it off!" Roll called them both. But to no avail, both Navis were dead set of fighting each other. Roll wanted to break up the fight but before she could get another step closer, she was whisked away in the air and out to the portal that lead to net.

"What the—"

"Do not worry fair Roll, for I have come and rescued you from the foul wastrels." A heroic voice came from above her.
Roll was almost afraid to look up to see who it was and when she did, her thoughts almost stopped. It was another style change of MegaMan's; this time yellow! They were traveling in the air by a pair of what looked like a version of Glyde's wings on the yellow MegaMan's back.
When they managed to land on a silver platform DenArea 2, the yellow Megaman gently let her go, stepped back and bowed gracefully to her. "ElectTeam MegaMan at your service fair Roll. And my I say that your looking extra wonderful today." He said causing her cheeks to glow red.

"Uh.. thanks… but I didn't need rescuing… really." Roll tried to back away slowly. She needed time to think what the heck was going on! How were there three MegaMan? Why did they act so differently? Regrettably to say that ElectTeam, rounded around her to prevent her from escaping, firmly locking arms with him.

"Ah but you did Roll. I don't know where those foul copies of me came from but I assure you that it won't get in our way of spending time together!" ElectTeam declared boldly.

"Oh… great…" Roll inwardly cringed. This MegaMan was way too preppy for her taste. He though he had MegaMan's noble nature, it was like someone took it to the extreme level for ElectTeam and decided to also make him lack the original's boyish nature.

Now that Roll thought about it, HeatsGuts was different from her MegaMan as well. The red version was seemed to be very boastful and confident. Plus when confronted by the original, HeatGuts reacted very violently.

"What's the matter fair one?" ElectTeam asked when he noticed that she wasn't paying any attention to his speech on what they were going to do today.

'Ah… crap. I forgot about him.' Roll sighed. "Hey maybe—"

"What do you think you're doing to Roll?" A voice came from a higher platform. Both ElectTeam and Roll looked up to see, what else? A more advance looking version of MegaMan with softer blues on the plug-in suit.

'I recognize this one, it AquaCust!' Of course AquaCust had a very peeved of look to his face; one that was specifically directed towards ElectTeam. Like HeatGuts, ElecTeam had no time to react before AquaCust jumped down and slam-kicked him off the digital platform. The purplish version of MegaMan turned to Roll with a pleasant look on his face.

"Sorry I wasn't here sooner." He said simply before turning to where ElectTeam fell. "I do not get to why he even bothered when he knew I was here. It's depressing really to why he even tried to get your attention."

Roll's eyes twitched. 'Oh great… a prideful MegaMan.' She knew right off the bat how this one acted, his stance, his gaze, and everything else told her that this guy believed he was God's gift to the cyber world. Unlike ElectTeam, this one wasted no time in gaining her attention.
Before she could even respond, Roll felt AquaCust lips cover hers with much vigor. Normally Roll would be appalled by this if anyone else did this, but… it felt just like MegaMan's lip, heck they even moved the same way!
But if this was the case then Roll knew that she only a few milliseconds before her entire thought process would shut down; right now she needed this time to think what the heck was going on!

With all the strength she could muster, Roll pushed against AquaCust's chest. This did diddly-squat as for the purple navi did not budge, but it did manage to gain his attention and break the kiss yet still held Roll close to him.

"Alright, something's up. What me to finish off that fake yellow copy?" It was easy to tell that he wanted to do it too. That or continue his make out session with Roll but he was willing enough to have her decided what he wanted to do first. This time at least.

"What?—No- no listen. I- - need to think what's going on!" She managed to escape from AquaCust's hold on her, thus letting her mind to think better without the distractions it caused.

AquaCust looked at her strangely, not understanding why she was acting this way. He was MegaMan, she should be jumping all over him for another kiss. "What is going on?" He mused out loud more so to himself. "I mean, why are you acting this way?" he asked crossing his arms.

Roll took a deep breath before responding. "For some REASON, there are now four of you guys running around and I have no clue as to why?"

"Four?" AquaCust asked in disbelief.

"Yes, four." Roll strongly confirmed.

To her horror, she saw the purple version of MegaMan just smile. "Well then," he said cracking his knuckles. "I guess I just have to finish them off myself. I—ARAAAHHHHH!" without them noticing, ElectTeam somehow managed to climb back up the platform and lunched an Elect Ring at AquaCust.

"How dare you push me off and hog dearest Roll to yourself!" The yellow MegaMan yelled shacking his fist.

"WHAT THERE ARE TWO MORE OF THEM NOW?" Two enraged (one more mad then the other) voices yelled off from the side. It was MegaMan and HeatGuts both looking badly beat up with furious faces at the scene. All the MegaMan present were confused, befuddled and furious not knowing why there were more of them. Their faces were mirrors as the same emotions passed over them.
First was baffling.

Then it turned into rage.

And at last the whole situation turned into Chaos.

All four MegaMan charged at each other with murder in their eyes, whether it was because they didn't want look alikes around or that each one was after Roll. But whatever it was they fought with bloodlust (or datalust).

'Well… this day has just gone down the pits.' Roll thought as she observed the fight. This could not be happening. It was physically impossible for there to be four MegaMans, at the same place at the same time fighting each other like they were an enemy. In distraught and mental exhaustion Roll just sat down not wanting to think about this mess anymore.

"Are you alright?" A calm and also familiar voice drifted in her ears with a confronting hand on her shoulder.

Looking up she saw a green version of MegaMan, WoodShield but unlike the others this one had a uniquely designed mask that covered his month making is face expressionless.

"No." She answered surprising herself on how calm she was. Already having to deal with four MegaMan, one more really didn't make much of a shock as the others did. "No, I am overwhelmed."

WoodShield tilted his head in almost a concerned fashion. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked sitting down with her.

"Sure why not?" Roll said in a bittersweet tone. When WoodShield did not respond she assumed he was listening. "I do not understand why the heck there are fou—I mean five MegaMans running around. And what's worse is that they are fighting each other for reasons I do not know."

"Their fighting over you."

"What?"

WoodShield pointed at the battle. "Listen."

In the fight she could hear each MegaMan was yelling to the others all sort of things such as 'Don't you dare land a hand on Roll' or 'You will regret interrupting my time with her'. Some things were also said that turned Roll's face bright, bright red but I am not allowed to repeat them due to rating. Let's just say… despite of being a digital being, MegaMan, no matter how many forms he's in, is still a teenager, a very hormonal teenager.

This put Roll into a further slump than she was already in. "Great… that helps…" She sulked further down to the ground.

"Hey," WoodShield said softly. "Why don't you use this?" The pink Navi looked at him for a further explaination. "They like you; I should know, I like you. They will listen to you if you put your foot down. Go to Sci-Labs to solve it."

Roll's eyes widen hearing this. It made perfect sense, why couldn't she do just that? She hugged the green MegaMan who blushed faintly from the gesture. "Thanks WoodShield! That's perfect."

WoodShield shrugged though his cheeks were still burning. "No need. Just glad I could help you out." He watched her get up and head towards the battling four ready to give the command to stop all this nonsense.

Taking a deep breath (though she didn't need it) Roll went into her demanding voice. The voice she used when MegaMan was being stupid, like right now. "Alright! Listen up you guys!" The fighting instantly stopped, each of the MegaMan looking worriedly at Roll and a tiny bit fearful. They knew this tone, it was the no-no tone the one which they usually got hurt on.

The original MegaMan gulped. "Yes Roll?" He said rather timidly completely forgetting that he was just fighting copies of himself seconds ago.

"Don't 'Yes Roll' me! Pick yourselves off the floor. Were heading to Sci-Labs right now to figure what the heck is going on! Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Mam." They all replied except one.

"But what about—" HeatGuts started to protest until Roll shot him a clear look that spoke of death and pain that would come to him if he didn't shut up; swallowing hard he back up behind the group of himself just to get away from the terrible gaze.

"That went rather well." WoodShield said as he joined the group.

AquaCust snorted. "Oh great… another cheep knock off."

"Well… I never really expected this" Dr. Hikari said as he observed the five MegaMans who looked particularly ticked off; except for WoodShield who was emotionless as ever and ElectTeam who always seemed preppy. Lan and Mayl arrived back at school shocked to hear that Roll is at Sci-Lab along with 5 MegaMans with her as well. Right now Roll was safely tucked away in her PET from the overly affectionate Navis.

"So… how do we get them back together again?" Lan asked peering at the screen. At first he thought it was cool to have five MegaMans with him until he discovered that most of them don't like him.

Dr. Hikari sighed "Well if I can fix the machine again and tweak it a bit, I could reestablish the flow of data to have them to go back to the original MegaMan. I better start right now if we want to get back in time for dinner, Lan you better help with this."

"Fine." Lan grumbled.

In the cyber world HeatGuts was seething from what he just heard. "Did you hear that? Do they honestly expect us to just willingly go back to this weakling over here?" He snarled pointing to MegaMan.

MegaMan's eye twitched; apparently the red version of him forgotten that this weakling managed to defeat him the first time they fought. "Well what else can you do? It's not like the officials are willing to let 4 Un-operated MegaMans to be running all over the net doing whatever they please." There was really no argument. If they didn't come sooner, the net-police were most likely to lock them up or worse, delete them.
Even though this was true it still didn't stop HeatGuts to go off in a tangent about merging with a wimp.

"Awwww…" ElectTeam whined. "And I was hoping to see the rest of the net with fair Roll." His shoulders slumped in disappointment.

AquaCust chuckled. "Heh… like she'll ever want to go with you, when she has a fine Navi like me. Sorry guys but when it comes to quality, I'm the best there is."

"How is it that you guys are from me?" MegaMan asked all of them, his patience snapped. "You act nothing like me. You-" He pointed to HeatGuts. "are way too wrathful and you-" he addressed to AquaCust. "are just too prideful. I mean I have pride but I don't flaunt it like you do."

The purple version was unfazed. "Please, not my fault your self esteem is so low."

MegaMan rolled his eyes before turning to ElectTeam. "And you… I don't know where to even begin…"

ElectTeam blinked innocently. "What do you mean by that?

MegaMan then turned to WoodShield. "You're… you're just emotionless…"

WoodShield just shrugged. "I prefer the term cool-headed."

HeatGuts still came up him a sour look on his face. "I have a reason to be tick y'know. Heck! All of us do. WE, have to go back into you! And maybe you haven't notice, we like being out and about!" The other style-changes nodded as well and even MegaMan agreed with this.
Though they acted different, they were still him, and he liked his independence. Unfortunately, this became more of a problem on how to get them to become one again. Maybe—

His thoughts were interrupted when Roll came in. He immediately thought that was a bad idea when the others MegaMans snapped to attention at her presence. Even WoodShield shifted his pose when she came in.

ElectTeam wasted no time in going up to her. "Fair Roll! You are okay!" He grasped her hands with tears streaming down his face. "Wonderful Maiden! Shall I have the pleasure to—Ooof" He fainted when HeatGuts slammed his arm on the annoying Navi's head.

"Pipe down Pip-sqeak. Don't go scaring her off before she can even talk to us." He then turned to Roll with a lustful smirk on his face. "Now than beautiful, how bout I treat you to—"

"Oh no you don't!" The original MegaMan dragged the struggling red version away from a very embarrassed Roll.
The pink Navi shook her head at such nonsense before continuing on to what she was here for.

"Alright everyone listen up." All MegaMans instantly quieted down and stared at her with their utmost attention. Roll shivered a bit at this behavior. "From what I was hearing from out there is that you don't want to fuse back into one MegaMan again."

This was confirmed when all except the original turned their heads away and started to mutter things like. 'Do we have to?'

The pink Navi faced palmed herself as this was going to be very difficult. "Why don't you guys want to do it?"

"WoodShied spoke first. "Well… Roll, we like being ourselves…"

"Yeah! And most of us don't have the willingness to go back into wimpo over here." Heatguts said.

AquaCust and ElectTeam also said the same thing causing our heroine to think on how to get them to fuse together.
"Well, are you guys not all MegaMan?" The four Style-Changes nodded. "So why are you afraid of becoming yourself once again?"

"Well," AquaCust began to argue. "We don't want to lose our individual powers… I mean we all can do remarkable things… by ourselves."

Roll quirked an eyebrow. "So what you're saying is, you guys don't want to fuse and become an even more powerful Navi?" It was clear to see that she was going on the right path, power was one of Megaman's weaknesses; no matter how much these personalities differ, this was one thing that was constant. That and his affection for her. "I mean, I thought that you would be willing to try almost anything to get stronger, but you guys won't fuse into a more powerful version of yourselves."

The MegaMans looked at each other and back to Roll. She was making sense; they were the same guy really. And it was not like anything bad would happen to them… they would still be MegaMan, who would be even more powerful and they would still have Roll but—

The four Style changes huddled together discussing their thoughts. It was too quiet for even the original MegaMan or Roll to pick up. Though they didn't worry, by the shine in their eyes, Roll had already convinced them.
When the Style changes did come up, HeatGuts spoke. "Alright we'll do it." Roll and MegaMan smiled. "BUT!" The red version wasn't done yet. "there is one small condition."

"What's that?" Roll asked, and then her cheeks blushed when the four stared at her intently.

Dr. Hikari and his human son prepared the device for use. The original Megaman was strapped back down on the wall with the other Megamans lined up in front of him. But Roll was there too, looking awfully disgruntled.

"Do I have to?" She asked the Style Changes.

"Yes." They all answered with HeatGuts stepping up.
"C'mon, just one kiss is all we're askin', it's not like we are asking you to commi—"

"If you do, I swear I will tear out your insides." MegaMan threatened already with the metal restraints straining to hold him.

Roll huffed. "Fine." And quickly leaned in to kiss HeatGuts on the lips before he could react. The red version stood stupidly from the sudden attack, his thought processes shut down.

Then Roll walked over to ElectTeam. The yellow version was looking shyly at her, very different from his usual preppy outgoing attitude. Roll quickly pecked him the lips and watched him freeze up and faint from the ecstasy of it. She didn't get time to react when AquaCust elegantly and slyly cover hers with his lips. The every movement was done smoothly and it was like being kissed by someone who was a professional in the subject.

"A-hem!" MegaMan interrupted, not liking how this purple version of him was holding Roll. AquaCust, quickly let her go, though he may have wounded his pride, he was smart enough to know not to invoke the wrath of Megaman. Though she was a bit dazed by this Roll quickly shook it off and went to WoodShield.
Out of all of them, the green version was her favorite. She smiled at him and mouthed 'thank you' to him. And to her surprise, the mask came off showing off a perfect reflection of Megaman's grin.

Then the next thing she knew, her mouth was completely covered by WoodShield's in a heated and passionate kiss. The other Megaman stood in shock at the intensity while to original felt his eye twitching.
Then all the jaws dropped when they something pink dart inside her mouth. Before they could react though, WoodSheild halted the assault and walked away from a very shocked and dazed Roll with a smug smirk at his mouth.

"Cheater." AquaCust muttered.

The humans appeared on the screen in front of them, oblivious to what happened prior a few seconds ago. "Is everyone ready?" Yuchiro asked the five Megaman as Roll safely headed to the room over.
Four out of the five nodded darkly, while WoodShield seemed overly enthusiastic about getting the processes on.
Following the instructions of Dr. Hikari, the four Style Changes lined up in front of MegaMan, all of them bracing themselves for what was to come next.

The same laser cannon aimed at them and fired its blue squared beam. It pierced through all of them, ending at the original MegaMan. Slowly, the four began to rearrange in to data and started to flow back into MegaMan. The process seemed to go faster this time, probably because the Blue Bomber knew what to expect.
When the last of the Style Changes, images were absorbed by MegaMan, the beam slowly stopped and the shackles released MegaMan on the ground.

The blue Navi was inhaling heavily: the sudden rush of power causing exhaustion and ecstasy all at the same time. He could feel the Style Changes running throughout the layers of his programming; advancing, rearranging, and adapting to fit best. And faintly in the back of his mind, he could feel the four distinctive personalities feeling at rest as they melded in to one individual. They were MegaMan… he was MegaMan, it was—

"Megaman, are you okay?" His thought montage was interrupted by the ultimate distraction: Roll.

The Blue Bomber smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine. Been one heck of a day hasn't it?" That was a bit of an understatement.

Roll nodded shyly, her face still red from WoodShield's method of 'affection'. Lan and Mayl's screens appeared in the cyber world next to them. "Hey MegaMan, why don't we go home? Dad says that you need a bit of rest after the process… so in other words no Net-battling." Lan said with a small tinge of boredom in his voice.
Mayl lightly punched him in the arm. "What are you complaining about? You're not the one who was split into four people and fought them all."

"Ouch Mayl. Why'd you go and do that for?" As usual the two Netops argued while their Navi's smiled and laughed at it, and then used it for a distraction to attend to some more 'important matters'.

And thus everything was back to normal.

…

…

Not.

Soundly asleep or whatever NetNavi's call it when they rest, Roll drifted into a peaceful slumber on her data-made bed. It had been a long day but as far as the pink Navi knew, she could rest easy.
If only she stayed awake for a little while longer.

Two figures, silently logged in the server right next to Roll's bed. The two figures where similar in height and silhouette. One of them glowed faintly green while the other had thicker armor and sported blinking yellow dots. But one things was for sure was that these beings oozed power, there very presence could dismantle the whole programming of this place if they did not have it under control.

The greenish figure leaned closer to Roll, observing her. "There she is… safe and sound." His figures brushed across a small strand of hair. His partner could tell that this was no mere jester.

"Not for long…" The yellow dotted one said with a tinge of worry in his voice. Also wanting to know how she felt, he reached down for her only to be stopped by the other.

"Stop." The green one held his hand. "What if she gets infected?"

"I have my powers under control."

The green hued one glared. "Barely." With a bitter sigh, the yellow dotted one retracted his hand.

"How long do you think that he will hold off?" He asked his companion.

"A day… at least. Or sooner, if he gains enough power." The greener one answered.

"Then we must prepare." With that said, the two left the same way as they entered.

Megaman flopped on a nearby chair, letting out a rattling breath. "Sometimes I wish that Lan would actually look at his notes for once." He muttered to himself.

"Heh, you and me both." Jumping up Megaman aimed his buster at the direction of the voice.

"Alright you, show yourself." He demanded, teeth bearing. So the figure did and Megaman almost dropped from disbelief.
It was another him, but it wasn't a Style Change, no, this time it was a Double Soul. RollSoul to be exact; there was no mistaking the signature yellow bands that wrapped around his helmet and the pink outfit this particular Soul sported.

"You got to be kidding me."

RollSoul shook his head sadly. "Afraid not. I am exactly what you see." That did it; Megaman sat back on the chair with his head in his hands.

"Why?"

"How else?" RollSoul said simply.

It dawned on the original. "The process to gain my powers."

"Bingo and I bet you can also tell me another thing." MegaMan's eyes widen once he knew what the Soul was talking about.

"All… all my Double Souls, my Crosses, my Beast-outs… they're all—out. Like my Style Changes." If this was true they—no, the Cyber World would be in so much trouble. This was confirmed when RollSoul nodded.

"Yes, and you need to absorb them back. But it won't be easy; most of them are not too willing to merge with you once again."

"Why are you here then?" MegaMan asked the doppelganger.

RollSoul shrugged. "To give you a head start. Do to the fact that… I have some of Roll's mannerisms; the most logical thing for me to do is to give you my power. Really it's pointless for me to fight you really." He explained to the original. Though this was only half of the reason. There were two other parts really, one was that… he didn't want to be ridiculed for wearing pink and the other… well, when fused he could be with Roll. "You're going to need it, my power." He explained further.

"But we need to go to Sci-Labs and—" The Pink version of him held up his hand.

"No need; you're the ultimate Navi. Your systems have adapted, now you can absorb the others without the use of the machine. But-"

"There's a catch." MegaMan predicted with a frown.

"Yeah… you see, the others either have to be willing or subdued in order to be absorbed." RollSoul explained. "Luckily, with me you'll have enough power to fight them."

MegaMan shrugged. "Alright then let's get to it." But once again he was stopped by the other.

"One more thing." RollSoul looked warily at him. "You must be careful when confronting yourself… you haven't always been 'friendly'. And some may want to kill you even. Be careful MegaMan." He warned. "Also… watch after Roll."

"Roll… what's going to happen?" The Blue Bomber asked worriedly. If anything happened to Roll—

"You remember your last thought before the laser blew up the first time? The others will respond as feverishly and possessive as you do, probably even more so." And with that said, RollSoul disappeared in particles of data. He was then absorbed by one very confused and very weary MegaMan.

I hoped that made you laugh.

Oh by the way, HeatGuts was going to say Commingle.

Which is Navi talk for... uhhh... let's just say if this was in human words than the rating would be T... or even M
