First off, people whom I do not know, I'd like to apologize for writing
this- it may come off as OOC, or bad, or something... I dunno. For
that, I apologize. And now, we have... the disclaimer. Yay.
Disclaimer: I do not own RockMan EXE or any characters involved in this. There will be shounen-ai later on- if you do not like it, feel free to skip over those parts and read everything else. Also, if the Netto/Enzan pairing is OOC, then that's okay- this is AU, so what could be OOC could be IC.. I think.. or not.
Eh, whatever- on with the show. I present, the fic.. This is AU, of course. And updates will be highly... random, in terms of time. That said, on with it.
A Thread Woven Differently
"'Night. "mumbled Netto Hikari, slumping on the bed in a heap, brown eyes closed, the same-coloured hair resting against the sheets, PET clasped in his hands still for some reason, still on. He was tired..
"Great.. I've spent another night running about the town jacking in to twenty different places, running about town to find those places, and battling a sword-wielding Navi bent on stopping me, along with his operator... Enzan, was it.. feh, whatever... "he mumbled, falling asleep.
"' Night. "he mumbled again, not knowing he'd said it twice in his tiredness.
RockMan responded with a simple "Good night. "as his operator fell asleep..
Or almost asleep. Netto was awake, and yet not awake, somehow. Without thinking about what he was doing, his hands fished into his pockets, bringing out a strange unmarked Battle Chip he had picked up earlier..
In his mind, images danced of that incident.... of a visit to a Battle Chip shop that had been there for a while, which had drawn him in with a "New Battlechips! "sign... of a guy in glasses and wild brown hair who'd given him that strange chip as part of a "Mystery Chip! "package....
Images that were driven out of his mind as the chip was slid into the PET, and there came a sudden glowing light....
RockMan, still aware of the things around him, felt the world suddenly slip out from under him, everything before him fade into a blur..
"What's.. that Battle Chip... doing? "the Navi mumbled, green eyes darting about in confusion at the black void that surrounded him where once the small world of his PET lay... he suddenly felt himself falling, falling into a blinding white light below him... and then a whole new wave of thoughts overtook him, voices that seemed to drown the Navi in their words, Netto's voice screaming through his mind.
"That Navi... with the sword.. he's good.. who is he..? "
"Ah.. my arm hurts.. I didn't bump it on anything, though... is it a strain injury from using a PET too much.... I am holding one.. heh.. "
"What the heck is Meiru doing...? "
These voices swirled through RockMan's mind, as he drowned in the strange words, agony seeming to convulse through his body.. in the real world, Netto's body convulsed with agony, sweat pouring down his face..
"What... is..it..what's happening.. "both of them whispered, at the same time, in thoughts and whispers... hints of each other's thoughts swirled in their minds, their memories, their feelings, all of it forming a whirlpool that threatened to drown them both...
Which it did, both of them sliding away under the whirlpool of thought, lost in the depths of each other's thoughts, both of them lost in their combined thoughts, thoughts that formed a single whirlpool- a single mind, of two.
He awoke, and stared.
Around him was a strange place.
Half of it was a grassy and endless field, the blue sky hanging in the air, sun shining down on the peaceful and happy area. The other was a strange place, a field of red-and-blue metal panels, the sky in this section a dark background with shapes of all types decorating it. Both sides were divided by a clear line, a red line through sky and ground.
"Where...am I? "he spoke, and was surprised.
His voice was that of two voices. One was eager and young, happy and carefree. The other was carefree, yet it seemed to be a bit more focused, a bit more driven... or so he thought.
"Who am I? "he mumbled, and at this, two voices sprung into his mind.
"I am Netto... I am RockMan's friend, RockMan's operator.. "
"I am RockMan.. the friend of Netto, of others... his Navi... "
"I am.. Netto, yes... but... RockMan.. too... I know them both.. but who am I? " he mumbled.
He looked at himself... and, somehow, he recognized both the voices he had heard in himself. He saw a humanoid being in pure blue all over, with yellow shoulder pads... shouldn't there be a cannon on that right arm, or something, he thought... a same blue helmet covered his head, the odd design of RockMan... but there was a visor of somekind all the way up to his face, and brown eyes peeked out that he knew as Netto's...
In that instant, he realized, somehow, he was both the Navi and the human- both Netto and RockMan, at the same time. A hand grabbed at brown jagged hair absentmindedly as the two beings that he was realized whom they were...
"RockMan... is that you... how.. this is a dream, right? "Netto's voice echoed.
"I think so... but then, why does it feel so real... why do I have all these memories that I don't remember having.. "the Navi's voice echoed.
"I.. don't know.. but I think I have memories from you... I doubt I ever had to avoid five viruses closing in from around me.. "
"And I doubt I ever thought about how boring the television can be ..does that mean this is real? "the Navi mumbled.
"I guess so.. but why.. and how did this happen? "Netto mumbled.
"I don't know.. "the Navi responded, confused.
"Me neither.. "Netto mumbled, staring out in hopes he could find out what was going on. The strange landscape did not help any.... Nor did the stranger who suddenly materialized in the distance. He came forward... he too looked like a fusion of Netto and RockMan, but he was far different.
His body was clad in the white shirt, orange vest, and black shorts that Netto commonly sported. However, his eyes were green. And, in a surprise, a buster cannon made this figure's right hand. Closer and closer he walked, a confident smile on his face, until he came up to them..
"Do you wonder whom you are? "he asked, in a voice far, far different from that of the Netto/RockMan fusion.
"Umm.. "the brown-eyed fusion thought in confusion.
"It is simple, then... you are Netto Hikari, operator of RockMan... and, on grounds of a strange ' family obligation ' you know little of, you've been forced to run about town doing things that are considered fairly criminal with a Net Navi.. over the course of this, you've had to battle a strange sword-wielding Navi who's controlled by someone named Enzan.. the navi's name you cannot renember.. is this correct? "
Netto and RockMan were surprised, but they nodded.. how did this one know?
"Ah, yes... "the green-eyed fusion mumbled. "Yes... well... I had to know whom it was that I felt I was, whom it was I think I am... I do ask you one thing, however... "the stranger, a seeming halluncination, whispered.
"I ask.. you follow the heart.. the soul... and the lightning... it'll help you live, and bring something to your life.. an extension of it.. I do not know.. "
The brown-eyed human/Navi fusion stared at him in confusion, unable to make any sense of what was going on....
And then, they woke up, and were not one.
Confusing, ne? ( Well.. leave comments. Gomen nasai if this sucks... I was insane while writing this...
