Lan and his Netnavi Megaman were facing off Dex and his Netnavi Gutsman. Maylu, her Netnavi Roll, Yai, her Netnavi Glyde, Tory, and his Netnavi Iceman were there to watch. It was a normal day of doing a Net-battle but the only difference was that Megaman was moving slower than normal.
"What's wrong? Megaman too tired to battle?" Dex taunted.
"No… he's just waking up a bit." Lan retorted back.
But Lan wasn't sure why Megaman was moving slow. Earlier that day, Megaman woke Lan up to tell him about the battle that morning. But Megaman himself was still groggy. What he didn't tell Lan was how bad he felt. He normally liked battling, but now he didn't feel up to it. As the battle continued on, he felt worse and worse. As Megaman felt worse and worse, he slowed down more and more.
"Hey Lan. When is the battle over?" Megaman asked, feeling ready to lie down on the ground to stop the cyber world from spinning.
"A little longer. Plasma Canon! Battle chip in! Download!" (I forgot the name of the chip, but you know what I mean.)
Megaman sighed. Lan didn't know he didn't feel too good. He wanted the battle to be over. Roll started to notice Megaman moving slower and slower by the minute. She got worried he would fall over.
"Maylu. Jack me in." Roll said.
"Okay. Jack in… Roll! Power up!"
She jacked in and stood on the side to watch.
Megaman and Gutsman were at the end of the battle. Megaman used the Program Advanced and fired. Gutsman logged out.
"We did it!" Lan shouted while pumping his fist into the air.
"I'll get you next time Lan!" Dex shouted back.
In the battle arena area, Megaman was lying down on the cyber-ground. He stared off into cyberspace.
"You did good Mega!" Roll said, interrupting his thoughts.
"Yeah. Good job!" Glyde spoke.
"Thanks…" he replied.
Megaman closed his eyes to try to stop the spinning.
"Megaman seem tired. Did battle tire Megaman out? Gutsman didn't work up sweat." Gutsman said.
Megaman opened his eyes at the question.
"No. Just trying to get the world to stop spinning, that's all."
"Spinning? Mega… don't tell me you're dizzy."Roll asked.
"I'm not. Just… ungh…"
He closed his eyes again.
"Just what?" Iceman asked.
"It's just… I don't…" he said, still with his eyes closed.
"Enough. You look drained. Stop talking. Get to your PET. Tell Lan how you feel if you want, but go into your PET." Roll said, cutting him off.
He opened his eyes and nodded. He got up and walked (slowly) to his PET.
"Good. You're in your PET. Let's go home. Is it okay if Maylu and Roll come home with us?" Lan asked Megaman.
"Yeah… sure… no problems here."
When they got home, Maylu and Lan jacked Roll and Megaman into Lan's computer. While Maylu and Lan talked, Roll and Megaman were doing the same. Megaman was lying down on the cyber-ground again with his eyes closed. Roll sat near his head.
"So… that battle… what happened? You seemed drained after the battle." Roll asked.
"Well… I guess I seemed tired…" he lied, opening his eyes.
"You said you weren't tired. You said the world was spinning, but you weren't dizzy. What's going on?"
He felt a small lurch in his stomach. Now he REALLY didn't feel good.
"Roll…" he moaned.
"What?" she asked.
"I… I don't… don't feel…"
He then turned his body away from her and puked. She gasped.
"Megaman!" she shouted.
The shout got Maylu and Lan's attention.
"What's wrong Roll?" Maylu asked.
"It's Megaman! I think he caught something."
"What do you mean? Is he okay?" Lan asked.
"He puked. And I don't know if he's okay."
Megaman stopped and rolled his body away from the mess he made. He'd clean it up later he decided.
"Megaman! Are you okay?" Lan asked.
Megaman sat up slowly.
"What do you think?" he retorted faintly.
Lan looked out the window. It looked dark.
"Maylu, you should head home. It's late." Lan said.
"Okay. Come on Roll." Maylu spoke.
"Could I stay here? Megaman might need me." Roll asked.
"No… I think not. We could come back tomorrow if you want."
"Okay…"
Maylu and Roll left for home. That left Lan and Megaman.
"When did you start feeling like this?" Lan asked.
"Umm… this morning…"
"Why didn't you say something?"
"I thought I was still feeling tired!"
"Is this why you were moving slow?"
"Maybe… yeah…"
Megaman looked at the mess he made earlier.
"I'll clean it up later…" Megaman said faintly.
"No. I'll clean it up and out of the system. You just get some rest. You look very tired." Lan told him.
Megaman nodded and went to his bed. Then he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
