#the cooler RiCO (iCO)

"Um... I... Don't know what to say about that..."

"Aww! She has a crush on you! You should feel flattered, RiFT...

"Wait, why do you look upset, iCO?"

"What?! I'm not upset! Jealous?! What are you talking about?! You're crazy!"

"Uh oh... Looks like you got competition..."

I think I have a crush on RiFT... Is it possible to date a multidimensional protector? Hehehe, just kidding... Or maybe not?

RiCO smiled before replying.

"See? Now we're getting somewhere! We're communicating. We should have did this from the beginning.

"Now, I think I understand where you're coming from. But maybe there's a better solution. Spawning more enemies than normal might make the system crash. What if instead, we fixed the system too make you an official character in the Deep Log. Sure, you're a fusion of three existing characters, but look at my group of friends here. ViA's pretty much a Zero clone, and iCO is a cooler version of me. And yet, they still managed to become their own characters. I'm sure you would fit in, too, and become your own person as well!

"Besides, I think you look really cool! I'd love to have you as part of the group, miss...

"Um... Now that I think of it, I never got your name."

There were a bunch of guardroids appearing in a glitched version of a stage that looked like “Noah’s Park” from Mega Man X8. A glitchy figure with floating blue and purple headpieces directed them around the stage. Which it was seemingly angry.

“WILL YOU STUPID GUARDROIDS FOR ONCE LISTEN?!”

It seemingly sounded female, and was angry. And the Guardroids all scattered into different directions.

There was a new area in the Deep Log that turned up not too long ago. It looked like Noah's Park, only a lot glithier. As the group were checking it out, they witnessed something unusual. There were a bunch of scattering over the area. From the sound of it, they were being commanded by an angry female voice.

"Whoever's commanding these guys doesn't sound like anyone we've met before..."

"What should we do? Should we pursue the Guardroids, or find the source of the voice?"

"If we find whoever's commanding them, it would be faster than dealing with Maverick Data that's going all over the place. For now, let's see who this stranger is and what she's up to."

"Good call. The Guardroids don't seem to be causing any trouble at the moment, anyway. But just in case, I'll ask Megaman and the others to keep an eye on them just in case."

"Alright. Let's find the commander and hope we can have a peaceful conversation with her."

The three then moved forward to find the one commanding the Guardroids. What will they find? Who will they find?
