"Allright!!" Lan rested his chin on his hands and grinned cheerfully as his net navi, the infamous Megaman, completed yet ANOTHER battle over the net.
"Logging Out of NetSky arena.." Lan sat back and smiled as the navi appeared on the screen of his home machine. "way ta go!" the navi laughed slightly "you know..they must be getting sick of me in there...i keep setting records.." Lan shook his head "dont be so modest, you rule ya get me!"
Megaman shook his head, laughing "not in my pogramming bud..." he blinked as he saw Lan yawning, then he checked the local time. "Er, Lan, ITS 3 AM!!" he made flapping motions at him "go to bed! BED!!" Lan sighed, but nodded "fine fine, im going..ill leave ya jacked in, if ya wanna talk to anyone or whatever, just no net battles, im not waking up just to send a chip!"
The navi sweatdropped "ok, i get it, night!" and as his PET owner fell asleep on his bed, still fully clothed, he sighed "does he even KNOW the concept of pajamas?!"
Then he simply shrugged, and shot off across the net, pausing at the odd place here and there...to speak tp the odd navi he recognised, whose owners, unless in a different country, were also running late nights with thier PETs...
---
One particular student, by the name of Miran, was testing out his own home-made battle chips. "finally.." he breathed, looking at the results on his program screen. He was in Lans class, a shy, unnoticed boy, but when you put him wth a PET and programming techs, he was as happy as he could be.
"Hm.?" he spied something rushing around the net, and pressed some buttons to see what it was. He pulled up a bio screen, lines of data detailing the thing as being a net navi. "hm..Megaman? sounds famiiar.." he shrugged "probably some whizz-kid owner letting it loose on the net..pfft"
He went back to tapping away at his program, but then got sidetracked seeing his own navi opening a talk dialog with this one. He leant forward to listen, but the movement disturbed the mug of coffee atop the shelf over his screen. It started to fall, and he slapped it aside, but then, after the reflex action, hs hand landed smack on the keyboard.
His programming tech was on the screen...and the button he hit highlighted the "export to net" function, which would, if it had been an ordinary chip, exported it to the net.
But two problems, 1) it WASNT a normal chip, it was one he'd been working on for months, to help a navi become more..human, help it understand and many other functions, to make navi's more like people. and 2) wheras he usually had the chips exported direct to HIS own navi, this time, all because of a slight fluctuation in the net, and one wrong key..it headed right for the unmanned navi, a little blue guy...Megaman.
-----
"Uh.." the aforementioned, hearing a rushing noise, looked round and felt something, a very heavy something, hit right into him. "Agh..." there was a massive explosion, and several data streams were torn apart as the unrecognised chip set to work..
-----
"NO!!" Miran yelled, as his screen went black "no..no.." he hit all the buttons he could, but it wouldnt respond. "Nekoman?" he turned to his own navi, a male one, resembling a part cat-part human being. "NEKOMAN?!" but although the navi's image was on screen, it wasnt respoding.
"what in hell...happened, that chip wasnt ready.."
----
In Lans room, there was an almighty flash of light, and, noiselessly, a figure was thrown away from it, landing right in Lans laundry pile....
---
"Ughh...i'm late AGAIN, stupid navi didnt wake me up!!" he screeched to a halt outside his classroom, and skiddded right in. Oddly, the place was empty "weird..maybe my watch is wrong..."
Althought he liked to get Megaman to wake him up, Lan always kept a watch on him, just in case...fortunately for him, it was 15mins early...
He grabbed for his PET, hitting the ON button, while just down the corridor...
-----
"Uh-oh..." the small figure stopped just inside the big glass doors of the school. Everybody within range stopepd to gawp at this short-ass, and with good reason, well, two of them: 1) he was barely over a foot high and 2) he was dressed in a very odd uniform...said little figure was Megaman. He'd woken up, smothered somewhat by Lans smelly laundry, and had spent 10mins tyring to find out why the hell he was in the real world. Then he'd simply legged it towards Lans school needing to find his PET owner.
"Aww...isnt it cute?" "Hey, is it a robot!?" he tried to move forward, but was unfortunately stopped by the "Girls Group" from Lans class. "Oh look, a tiny robot!" before he coud object, one of them, evidently a leader, had scooped him up, and was holding him under the arms as if he were a dissobediant cat. "Hey, put me down lady!" he snapped, in a hurry. The girl blinked "its rude?!" she gave him a slight shake "thats no way to talk to a lady!"
A very dizzy Megaman responded "eee, well..this is no way to treat a navi.."
-----
Lan blinked. His screen was on, but no navi "hey..Megaman!!" he yelled at it..but he wasnt there.. and he had disconnected him from the net before he'd left for school, so he HAD to be there. But...he wasnt.
Lan stared, in shock, what HAD HAPPENED to his navi??
His attention was cut short then, as the rest of the class began to file in...
----
"Wahh!!" the poor navi, brought into reality, squeaked in protest as the girl popped him into her bag. He wriggled up, so his upper body was hanging from the bag as she slung it over one shoulder. "Oh boy..where are ya Lan? I'm stuck with some crazy girls.."
----
"Right clas, into your seats!" commanded the cheerful Miss Mari. The class began to obey, and then the "Girls Group" as they were known, a group of the 6 most popular girls in school, came skidding in. "Girls, into your seats" Miss Mari commanded. "Miss. Mari, look, we found this cute little fella in the hall! Look!"
The leader slung her bag off her shoulder, making Megaman feel somewhat nauseas, and held the bag out, the somewhat iffy looking navi poking out of the top. The sleepy net critter blinked, lifting his head, coming face to face with Lans teacher Miss Mari.
"Uh.." he blined. The teacher the same, then she spoke "oh, it looks like a little navi, but how on earth did he get here, and.." she leaned a little closer "he looks about to be sick to me.." here megaman finally spoke "yeah well, you'd be feeling sick too ma'am, if you were being slung around in this thing left and right..."
Here there was a loud yell "MEGAMAN!!"
The girl turned, seeing Lan scooting up the aisles. "Whaa?" she blinked, and the boy stopped in front of her, and scooped Megaman from the bag, setting him on his shoulder. The poor navi groaned, clinging to Lans collar "please don't make me sit in a bag again" he babbled.
"Hey, what are you doing? We found it!" the lead girl screeched, Lan snapped back at her "well hes MY net navi, and dont call him "it" his NAME is Megaman, M-E-G-A-M-A-N" he said with slow deliberation. The girl looked huffy, Miss Mari blinked "ah, well Lan, seeing as he's yours, look after him, don't loose him, though goodness knows how you made such a realistic robot.." Lan sweatdropped, he hadn't even KNOWN Megaman had gotten into his world "y-yes miss mari" he nodded.
He went back to his desk, Megaman still clinging to his collar. Upon reaching his desk he placed the navi down, where it stared up at his friends, Dex and Maylu (not sure on spelling). "wow..!" Dex leaned forward, poking the net navi in the stomach, "cool". "Please don't do that.." the navi asked queasily "i feel like i'm gonna barf as you put it.."
Dex took a wary step back, Maylu laughed "well sit down then!". As the navi followed this idea, Lan scratched his head "beats me how he got here, poor guy got ambushed by those girls.." Dex groaned "they're annoying...all they do is giggle and put make-up on.." he trailed off, seeing Maylu was getting a litte annoyed...
While Dex tried to backtrack on what he'd said, Lan sat down at his desk, resting his chin on his hands, regarding the slightly less pale looking navi "what happened..?". Megaman looked up "uhh..i don't remember much, other then speaking with a navi, then something just hit me..i didnt get to find out who the navi's owner was..everything just blacked out, part of the net crashed..then i woke up..in your laundry pile..and you know what-?"
He paused, and Maylu and Dex turned back round just time to hear the small navi make a simple observation: "Lan, your socks STINK" And as his owner faceplanted onto the desk, Miss Mari finally called the class to order.
Megaman just sat on the edge of the desk the whole lesson, with Lan poking him for answers, which he refsued to give, "Your menna do it yourself, that's the whole point of school..". Out of boredom, he hopped down from the desk, seeing something glimmering under one of the students chairs.
He ran forward, scooping it up..
--
"Ah" Miss Mari, who had been about to load a demonstration, realised, with a sinking feeling, she'd lost her keycard for her desk "oh dear..class, can you find my-" she was cut off as there was a soudn of someone landing on her desk, and she turned.
Lans navi was standing on the desk, holding the keycard up to her. "Here ya go ma'am, it was under a desk!" she blinked, then took the key smiling, "why thank you..whats your name?" the navi sat on the edge of her desk, idly swinging his legs as he answered her, smiling politely "Megaman ma'am, Lans net navi!"
Mari smiled as she carried on the class, Lan grinned, his navi was the coolest, and seemed to be charming the socks off his teacher -maybe he can get us off homework, since Mari obviously thinks hes "a right dear" hehehe...- he snickered..
Then, quicker then normal, it was time for lunch! Lan grinned as his navi sat back on his desk. The small being sniffed the air, and there was a minute rumbling sound "im hungry..". Lan looked at him, surprised "since when do navis eat..but go ahead and gorge yourself silly, i brought extra snacks haha.."
As Dex and Maylu came over, the navi was munching at a cookie that was almost the same size as a small plate to a normal person. "mghff..mffmmfmf..." the navi tried to explain, dex Stared "don't talk with ya mouth full!" Megaman gulped down the rest of it "i MEANT, tastes nice.." he carried on absently munching the next cookie, and Maylu looked up "uh, guys, it appears we have an incoming crowd.." the rest looked up, just as the whole class squidged in around Lans desk.
"Whoa, cool" "He's so sweet" "He's really a navi? I've never seen one this close.." "He eats food too?" at this comment, Lan glanced at the a) rapidly emptying cookie pack, and b) the crumb pile around the navi "yeah, far too much for someone his size..." he concluded. This got even more comments, and Megaman just sat there, calmly munching away on his..uh..had to be 7th cookie...
"Wow, can i pick him up?" this was follwed by someone lifting up the poor navi again. "Wow..light too, hey, i wish MINE was like this, he's cool!" "Whatsis name Lan?" as the kid set Megaman down again, Lan repeated the navi's name.
The noise level rose higher as people asked question after question, with Lan and Megaman trying to fend them all off..then: "hey, lets hold a burping contest". No sooner was it announced, then the loud, cacophanous noises rang out through the room, Maylu just shook her head, but hey, she was used to it now, especially with Dex and Lan sometimes...
By this point it seemd nobody could beat the reigning champ Sanja..but, behind them all, Megaman began to wonder if eating all those cookie thingys at once had been a good idea..his stomach lurched, he hiccuped..then..
"All right, no need to crowd ladies!" Sanja grinned, knowing he'd won again..or had he? There was a bloody loud belch from just behind them, sweeping Sanjas record aside. There was silence, followed by "oh er, sorry..about that..my, my fault.." everyone turned, confronting the small navi who was grinning sheepishly, one hand poised over his mouth, "guess those cookies weren't good for me..."
More silnce, then: "That. Was. Awesome!!" "Way to go navi-boy!" several kids, Lan included, started clapping. Megaman just sweatdropped, laughing in embarassment, but then doing a little bow. "Thanks..i think.." he squeaked. Dex shook his head "man that was one helluva record!" Sanja gawped, some else yelled "Megaman wins! Our new belch champ!!" all the navi could do was laugh and try not to look too embarassed by the accidental slip-up..
Miss Mari stuck her head in "what WAS that noise? Boys, i know those fizzy drinks give you gas but-" someone cut her off "it wasnt us, Lans net navi did it, he rules!" Megaman grinned again, bowing appollogeticly "Sorry ma'am, bad reaction to cookies..."
She just sighed "ok then, just keep it down" as she lef the classroom rang out again as the crowd moved back around the navi. "Hey, what happends if ya give him soda?" "More records!" Lan sighed, his sides splitting from laughing over the navi's random belch outburst...
The afternoon classes were barely sane. Having been fed soda by Lan, the poor navi got constant hiccups, and sat on Lans desk trying to hold his breath...and failing. They had a lecturer in to talk about security and navis, and it went reasonably well, par Megaman causing a small diversion by utter a partiulcarly loud hiccup, and falling right off the desk with a thud.
The lecturer then spent the rest of the lesson asking Lan questions about his navi, and showing the workings of various chips to the real life PET, who seemed to be a source for fasination anywhere he went...
KC: hee, well, my first try at a Megaman fic, someone sent me the first 5 episodes and all the games..so couldnt resist, it seemed perfect for a random fic..
