"That was a great battle," said Protoman, triumphantly at the sight of all the Reavorbots destroyed. Megaman quickly turns his buster gun on Protoman. "What are you doing?" asked the confused Proto man. "You're hiding something, now I want answers!" blurted Megaman. Roll and the others come out on top of the Flutter where Megaman and Protoman are. When Roll sees Megaman aiming at Protoman she shouts, "What are you doing Megaman? Protoman isn't the enemy!" Protoman sighs and replies, "It's ok Roll, I do have some explaining to do." Megaman keeps the buster gun pointed at Protoman, in case he tries to pull off anything. Protoman begins his explanation. "The reason I was sent here by Garison was that we do have confirmation that Megaman Juno has been reactivated." Megaman lowers his buster gun when he heard that Megaman Juno was back. "It's a long explanation how we found out, but he is pretty much alive," said Protoman, trying to continue. Megaman was silent. He knew how dangerous Juno was and he dreaded the thought of facing him again. Roll was confused. "Who is Megaman Juno?" she asked. Megaman sighs and answered, "He was the reason all of the Reavorbots where activated. I already battled and conquered over him, but according to Protoman, he's back." Roll and the others didn't know what to say. Roll asked, "Do you really have to face him again Megaman?" Megaman could tell that Roll was worried by the tone in her voice. Megaman gives her a hug and answered with a blunt, "Yes." Roll embraced him and a tear trickled down her cheek. Protoman interrupts the sad occasion. "Come on Megaman, it's time to go," said Protoman. Megaman forces himself off of Roll and he and Protoman run back into town. Roll helplessly looks on at the two determined warriors as they disappear in the distance. Meanwhile, back on the Supernova, Commander Jake is thrown into a prison cell where he had Bon placed in. He was in handcuffs and was battered and bruised, obviously beaten up by the Bonnes. "That should hold you there for a while Jake my boy," said Teasel, triumphantly. Jake buried his face in the ground. "That's right you little creep, you better not show your face to me again!" blurted the angry Bonne leader. He walks off and a servebot closes the large iron door of the cell. Jake lifts his head up and slowly, almost magically, loosened the handcuffs that held him. With an evil smile on his face, Jake said out loud, "This isn't the end Teasel, not yet."
