He commands another Atlampian survivor named Sherrice to retrieve the codes and program to revive the Trojan Horse. He is eventually defeated by Lan and [=MegaMan.EXE=] who had help from a mysterious person called "L.o.N.". The destruction of the Trojan Horse destroyed the server of the Atlampian Ruins, releasing electromagnetic waves and opened a hole in time and space which sent him back 3000 years into the past, some time after the fall of the Atlampian Civilization. There he saw that the Atlampian people survived despite that their society fell; this revelation made him have a change of heart.

* FlashbackFail: Kai's memories of Lan rescuing the bus from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'' feature Lan as much more triumphant and inspiring than he really was.

-> Kai's [=NetNavi=].

** Ring teases Mary for being scared of the Class X tournament setting by begging an imaginary [=ProtoMan=] to come save them. When Lan and his friends arrive, Mary asks about Chaud's whereabouts; Mayl immediately asks if she *wants* Chaud to attend. After registering for the Class X tournament, Mary sends Chaud an e-mail to express her gratitude and wistful sadness that Chaud couldn't attend, and she officially declares herself and Chaud to be friends.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Exaggerated to a fault. Ring wants friends. Lots and lots of friends. But she doesn't really value any friends for their own sake--she easily lies to the only one she's got, her Operator Mary. Learning that Mary doesn't *want* to have friends (because her condition means she can't play with them and she won't be able to stay with them) frustates Ring so badly that she declares she doesn't care what happens to Mary any more and leaves.

* ShipperOnDeck: During her ImagineSpot, Ring especially delights in the prospect of Mary getting a boyfriend.

* NotSoDifferent:
** When Chaud explains to Mary and Ring that he doesn't consider himself and Lan to be friends, he declares he enjoys solitude and would rather not go out of his way just to be around Lan. Ring immediately says that reminds her of Mary.
** As Mary progresses through the tournament, especially after reuniting with Ring, she becomes more outgoing and energetic--lampshaded in the prologue to Class Z, when Chaud notes she's becoming more and more like Lan.

* FriendlessBackground: She doesn't really want to make friends due to her shyness and health.
