Una.exe – Vengeance
Chapter 1 – Hub
A/N: This fic is based on the son of Lan and Mayl who was introduced in my fic 'The Greatest Challenge. His navi Una was the first attempt at the BabyNavi project by Lan's dad (Hub's Grandfather). She was raised alongside Hub by Megaman and Roll.
Hub walked in and mumbled a hello to his mum before going into the games room and automatically jacking Una in before collapsing on the sofa in there.
"Hard day?" asked Roll.
Hub answered her with a grunt.
"I don't think he wants to talk about it," said Una.
"What's up? Have they been picking on him again?" asked Roll.
"Actually I think it's more that I gave him a lift home when he was with his mates," said Sarah walking in.
"Oh," said Roll.
"What's up Sarah?" said Mayl walking in.
"I wanted to see if Lan was here," said Sarah, "I guess I'll have to nip into SciLab."
Mayl just nodded. Sarah looked at the chessboard that Roll was puzzling over. "What's up Roll?"
"I'm trying to see how to beat MegaMan in chess," said Roll, "I've seen this opening somewhere before."
Sarah looked at the chessboard. "Modified Queens Indian defence," she said, "He's trying to fool you into thinking he's using a Kings Indian Defence."
"How can you tell?" said Roll.
"I taught him that opening," replied Sarah as she left.
Sarah got into her car and drove to SciLab. On the way she reflected that if she went over the net she could be there in instants but she felt like going in her body. At the reception the receptionist took one look at her ID and waved her through.
"You wanted me Lan?" said Sarah.
"I'm trying to modify the Style Change program for Una," said Lan staring at a screen of code, "But the two areas of Una's code keep preventing it from compiling."
He banged his head on his desk. "How on earth did Dad get Una's code to run with all these conflicts?"
Sarah looked at the code and deleted half of it. She set it to compile and it went perfectly.
"What did you do?" said Lan.
"You were overcompensating for Roll's data. It didn't need all that code to cancel out any negative effects Roll's data would have."
Lan looked over the code. "You've deleted every bit of data I used to compensate for the Roll data!"
"Like I said, overcompensating, Roll wouldn't give any negative effects to the style change. I should know."
"What would I do without you?" said Lan.
"Less than you already do," said MegaMan, "You've spent half of today asleep."
"Hey you!" said Lan.
Lan had barely changed from high school. He still had his bandanna, the only difference was that now he usually wore a lab coat rather that his jacket. His jacket when he wore it was usually zipped up and he'd had his symbol sewn into his jacket this time.
"I'd head home now anyway," said Sarah, "Mayl's cooking your favourite. You can finish up tomorrow now."
"Yeah, your right," said Lan hanging his lab coat up, "I bet Hub's waiting for the program anyway."
"I'd watch it," said Sarah, "When I left he was in a bad mood."
"Ok then sis," said Lan, "I'll see you later."
Lan got into his car and was about to go.
"Hey Lan!" said MegaMan, "Phone call from Mr. Famous."
"What could he want?" said Lan.
"Put it this way, he's put high level encryption on the signal," said Megaman.
"Answer it then," said Lan.
"Lan," came Mr. Famous' voice through Lan's PET, "How are you?"
"I'm fine," said Lan, "With the level of encryption you've put on the signal I doubt you are just checking up on me though."
"Yes, we thought you may want to know that Wily died in prison from old age today," said Mr. Famous.
"He took his time didn't he," said Lan.
"Yeah well, he was going on about his revenge up until he kicked the bucket anyway," said Mr. Famous, "We just thought you'd like to know."
"No problem," replied Lan, "See you later."
"See you later," replied Mr. Famous before cutting the connection.
Lan drove home and went upstairs to see his son. After Hub had become too old for a nursery he'd converted it into a games room so the navis and humans could play together. Thanks to more equipment that they'd worked on in SciLab all sorts of games could be played. Hub and Una were playing pool while Roll was still examining the chess board. He jacked MegaMan in and he and Roll started to play chess. Mayl came upstairs to them and watched for a moment before announcing that tea was ready. As they sat at the table Lan felt like he didn't have a care in the world, Wily was dead, he had his family, no worries in the world. Life was perfect.
Inside the WWW base in the Demon Waters.
Inside the computer a program activates.
"So they think they're finally rid of me," said a figure, "Little do they know that I had this system linked to my body. Upon my death it activated this program, my final chance to destroy the net. Now instead of a navi powerful enough to do my work I simply need the navis data. And I know just where to look."
