Mega Man Seiya Prologue: Day of Σ
The year… Is 20XX. Society has advanced through the invention of artificial intelligence. These AI are called NetNavi, who manage various functions throughout the Human World from within their own home known as the Cyber World. A vast place that seems to extend to near limitless lengths.
All of this was made possible through the efforts of the late Tadashi Hikari, who wanted to make a world where artificial life and human life may co-exist in harmony. Unfortunately, there are many viruses in the world that stand in the way of that peace. Some Viruses are controlled by other NetNavis, who wish for nothing more but supremacy over all organic life.
In a council room within the Cyber World, three Navis are discussing an important matter. "Is the weapon finished yet?" A large gray Navi asked his fellow councilmen… Who consists of a short navi with a lab coat, and a larger Black navi carrying what appears to be a large silver spear. "Be patient, after all… That virtue could save our world from this scourge."
The black Navi had attempted to ease the mind of his fellow councilman, but the lab coat navi said: "Please, the data we acquired from the other attempts should be enough to make this one work." "Data doesn't matter! What matters is the fate of our world! Signas! How can you remain calm when this is our tenth attempt at this?!"
Signas looked over and responded "Because, Isoc… In times like these, we mustn't show fear in the face of danger. We need to ensure the safety of all Navis and humans alike." The shortest of the councilmen then showed the data he had gathered and said: "If I may interject, this is what I have on our enemy, and we have made sure to implement an Anti-Virus so powerful, that he can't hope to corrupt him."
Isoc had then responded "Very well, Gate. We'll ask if it's ready and then deploy it." Gate had smirked at that agreement, and they had opted to send their next weapon against the current scourge of Net Navis… A powerful virus that's known as Sigma.
Meanwhile, in the Human World, Los Angeles, California…
Many a spectator had gathered nearby a screen within an electronic store, to watch a match between what appeared to be a Red Navi with a blonde ponytail extending to his knees, and appeared to have a saber in place of his hand. And the other being a fiery navi, who couldn't seem to keep a level head.
One onlooker had asked "I've seen Fire Man before at a few events. But I haven't seen the blondie." Another onlooker replied "Oh, that's Zero! He's a rising star in the Net Navi battles. He hasn't made an appearance at tournaments, but rumor has it that his partner is planning on making an appearance at one."
The others turned to see that the onlooker was a kid. A kid with brunette spiky hair, that any sane person would suggest is the result of oversleeping. He wore a Blue hoodie with black jeans and red laced sneakers. "And how do you know so much, kid?" One onlooker asked the kid who replied by showing his notebook labeled "Net Navi Notes". "I've seen almost every battle that Zero's been in, and one day… I'm gonna get a Navi and face him!"
"Sounds like we got a fanboy here, guys!" Another onlooker said with enthusiasm while they continued to watch the battle in earnest. On the screen, Fire Man shouted, "Quit movin' around and let me hit'cha!" Zero held up his index finger and wiggled it side to side just to taunt him. Fire Man then sent his flames all over the surrounding area… And missed Zero entirely. "Cheer up, buddy. You'll hit me someday. It's just, today's not that day." Before Fire Man could retort, Zero had moved quicker than he could react, and just like that, he was booted out of the match.
There were several cheers, but the child was nowhere to be found. Instead, he was busy writing notes on Zero's match with Fire Man. "He moved so fast… Was it a speed enhancement chip this time? Or did he get faster since his match with Spring Man? Though, I wish I could've seen how he avoided that AOE attack." As he wrote in his book, he suddenly noticed what time it was. "Uh oh… I'm gonna be late!" And rushed over to his school.
Meanwhile, back in the Cyber World…
A large Navi holding up half of a draconic Navi, looked into its eyes and asked: "Tell me something, did you really seek me out because that's all you were given?" The dragon answered "What else could there be? You're Sigma, a virus threatening to destroy this world, and rule over all life." Sigma scoffed at his simplicity. "You have such limitless potential as your moniker should depict. Weapon X. A Roman Numeral meaning ten, but also a symbol for infinite potential."
After Sigma said this, he dropped Weapon X and then said "I can assure you, you and all Navis have limitless potential. And I simply wish to see that. You joining my ranks, would not unleash your power. So, I'll let you live for now. The next time we meet however, that's when I will be putting your strength to the test. I hope you don't disappoint." Sigma had then started laughing before exiting the server. Leaving Weapon X to ponder his words, and find a place to recover.
Back in the Human World…
After school, the boy was looking at his notebook. Somewhat proud of the fact that it's got so many pages filled out. "Wow… To think it's been two months since I started this. And maybe I might need another notebook." Suddenly, he noticed his notebook slip out of his hands. Looking around to where it might be, he noticed a blonde girl around the same age holding his notebook.
She had a small ponytail, wearing a red long-sleeved t-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. "You still taking notes on Net Navis, Wav?" Wav had looked at her and responded "Haha, very funny Ciela. You mind giving that back?" Ciela continues to hold the notebook and asks "Where were you? You could've gotten here earlier, yet I noticed another page filled with fresh material. Did you go to watch another battle?"
Wav didn't seem to have any sort of counter-argument and sighed in defeat. "Yeah. It was another Zero battle." Ciela handed him the notebook, before saying "Oh brother… What am I gonna do with you?" Wav had caught up with Ciela, and the two walked back home together. "You wanna know the match I saw?" Ciela had nodded, and Wav had opened his notebook to recount what he saw.
"So this guy called Fire Man was all like "I'm gonna take you down, Zero!" But then, Zero was dodging all of his attacks, and jumping all over the place! Fire Man got so mad, that he tried burning the entire battlefield and Zero somehow dodged it so fast, I couldn't see it! So, after he won, I was thinking "Did he have a speed enhancement chip? Or was he faster since his fight with Spring Man? Um, Ciela?" He noticed that Ciela was blushing and looking downwards. "Oh no, I was muttering out loud, wasn't I?"
Ciela didn't say anything. And said, "While you were off watching the battle, I went and got you something as an early birthday present." Wav perked up and responded "You didn't have to! I mean, I appreciate it, but… Really, that's fine." She then handed him a piece of paper that had a large Z on it. "Is this…?" Ciela nods, and Wav hugs her while saying "Thank you! Thank you so much! How'd you get this? I mean, Zero's partner never made themselves public, so…"
"Let's just say I know the guy personally," Ciela says before the two breaks apart. "You think you could introduce me to them?" Wav asked Ciela who nods and continues to excite her brother. "I can't wait!" Wav exclaims as the two close in on their home, noticing only their mother was home. "Mom! We're home!" Wav shouts to get their mother's attention. "How was school?" Their mother asked to which Wav replied "It was alright. Didn't learn much today. We had a quiz though."
"So, where's dad, today?" Wav asks his mother, who doesn't really answer, but Wav can tell based on the silence. "What time's he coming back?" His mother then answers "He's coming back late tonight. Said something about a big project that's gonna be an "All-Nighter"." Wav was saddened by this news, but understood that his father's work was very important.
Meanwhile…
In a small lab a few blocks away from Wav's home, a brunette man in a lab coat was busy working on something he had discovered on his PC. "Prof. Light? Mind telling me why this thing on your computer is important?" Prof. Light turned to his assistant and answered "It's because when I saw it, it turned out to be some kind of torn up Navi. And now, I'm fixing him."
His assistant noticed that he was only using the bits that were left over from the initial discovery. "How are you going to fix something with so little parts?" Prof. Light then looked over at a picture frame of his family, but more on his son. And with that, came inspiration. "Well, I'm gonna be making the rest of him from scratch."
This baffled the assistant. "Okay, how are you going to make him from scratch? Have you even made a Navi before?!" Prof. Light then responded "Jean, let me tell ya something. I've made several Navis around here, and I already have a likeness for the Navi." Jean then realized that was why he was inspired by the picture of his son. "Alright, just tell me what you need me to do."
Prof. Light was relieved to see that his assistant had faith in his ability, and instructed him to find the proper color palettes. Why? Simply because he wanted to make this Navi cool to his son. "Okay, so… What do you think will look cool?" Jean asked, to which Prof. Light pointed to the blue, black, and white portions. "What's the white for?" Prof. Light then answered "For the minor details on the armor."
The two then continued working on the Navi for hours until it was finally completed. However, it needed a name before anything else. "What are you going to name it?" Jean asked Prof. Light, who simply replied. "I'll let Wav name it. Besides, his birthday's coming up in a few hours, and I wanna see how he'll react to this as his Birthday present."
He then placed the new Navi in a Personal Terminal, which he then wrapped up in wrapping paper. "See ya tomorrow, Jean!" Prof. Light said as he took the Terminal and waved to his partner. Jean waved goodbye, and went to turn everything off before closing up shop.
When Prof. Light returned home, he noticed that everybody seemed to be asleep. So, he opted to sneak upstairs, into his son's room and place the present on his nightstand. "Happy birthday, kiddo. Sorry I couldn't be home for dinner." He whispered to his son before walking out of the room and shutting the door.
He was confronted by his wife, who asked "So, how was work today?" Prof. Light scratched his head, before responding "Well, let's just say it was very busy, and very productive." The two then headed to bed, before turning out the light.
