Chapter one: Newcomers

The alarm is going of very loudly and shaking the house of the Hikari's. "Lan, wake up. You're gonna be late to school again!" A blue figure with black, red and yellow on his crest or otherwise known as Megaman, shouted, trying to get his twin brother out of bed.

"But mom, all this food looks delicious.." Lan said as he trailed back into his deep sleep and rolled over.

'Hmm. That didn't work.' Megaman thought. 'Let's try something.' Megaman took in a deep breath of air, and shouted as long as he could "Cooome and get it!" Hoping it would wake up his brother.

All of a sudden he saw his brother get up and trip over his covers before falling face first to the floor.

"Ow Megaman, why'd you do that?"

The Hikari said as he sat up and started to rub his face.

"Because if you gotten up at the sound of the alarm, you'd get to school on time." The blue Navi said, "but now you're gonna barely make it as usual."

As Megaman got done with his sentence, he saw his brother change into his normal clothes in record time but tripping over himself in the process.

"Oh man! I'm gonna be late again!" Lan said as he grabbed his PET and put his headband on and ran down stairs. "Bye mom, love you!" Lan added as he saw his mom on the couch watching the early forecast for the day.

"Bye honey, love yo-" Before Haruka finished her sentence, the door slammed shut as her son rushed out. 'That boy is always rushing around. Just like how his father was when we were his age' she finished her thought as she continued with the news.

'Oh man, oh man, I'm late!' Lan thought frantically as he sped to his school on his skates, starting the fourth week of his freshman year in highschool.

"Lan, slow down. You're gonna get hurt!" Megaman reasoned to get his teenage brother to be safe. Sure, they're the strongest net battlers, but Megaman and Lan still worry about each other's safety.

Both of the teenagers made it to school and wizing past the front door. He heard the tardy bell go off and knew he had only 20 seconds left before he's late. The brown haired young man rounded the corner of his hallway as though he drifted. He busted through the front Door and fell to the floor as he tried to stop but his momentum carried on.

'Ding, ding, ding' the bell went off signifying school has begun.

"Mr. Lan Hikari, you may have gotten here on time but you're still late. If you would've came in early, then you would've been on time!" Ms. Mari said as she scolded lan.

"Yes Ms. Mari. Sorry Ms. Mari." The teenager said as he hung his head.

"Now go take your seat." Ms. Mari said as she watched Lan pick himself up and carried himself to his desk for the day to begin.

"Now class, we have a new student. He came from America or more specifically from Texas to live with his uncle and to work for him." She added after the pause. "Mr. Vandigriff please enter."

A young dirty blonde male came in. As he looked at the class, they could see him. Having blue eyes with silver classes over them, and longish short dirty blonde hair, white complexion and a little bigger than Lan but in terms of height of being 5'11, wearing a crest of a white star in the middle of a blue circle with red and white stripes coming from left to right on his gray jacket and wearing black cargo pants with black boots . Having a neutral expression on his face, he looked at the class taking in details.

"Please, introduce yourself." Ms. Mari said happily as she gained a new student.

"My name is Jake Vandigriff and I'm from Texas and I'm 16 years old. My friends back home called me Griff for short and this is my navi." The blonde added as he held up his silver and blue PET. "Jetman. Or as his actual simple name of Nova." He finished as his screen turned around and shown the class. A silvery gray navi materialized showing swept back wings on his back with an engine like backpack, a fighter pilot helmet with a white star in a blue circle with red and white stripes coming from left to right on his chest and underwings and tail wings on his elbows, doning darker grayish blue digital camo on him.

"Nice to meet y'all. I'm nova, and it'll be a pleasure to work and learn with y'all." He said as his mic comm clicked out and standing as though he had military discipline.

The class clapped as the blonde is done giving his introduction speech.

"Well, nice to meet you Jake. You can sit behind Lan. Mr. Hirkari!" She practically screamed at him causing the whole class jump in shock and startled the class including Jake and lan.

"Y-yes Ms. Mari?" He said in shock and fear.

"Please raise your hand to show where our new friend can sit." She said calmly and happily. Lan rose his hand and Jake responded to it, sat behind him and jacked Nova in.

"Now class, for algebraic expressions.." Ms. Mari trailed off as she was teaching the class.

Lan half turned around and whispered to Jake "Nice to meet you Jake, I'm Lan Hikari." Lan jacked in Megaman to Jake's desk.

A white beam of light shot down from above and dissipated to show a navi in blue with a blue battle suit and helmet in Jake's desk comp.

"And I'm Megaman." Megaman said happily as he stuck his hand out.

"I'm Jetman, or Nova."

Nova shook Megaman's hand and stood a little taller, if not then just about by two inches. Nova took his respirator mask off and flipped up his visor.

"You look strong. I'd like to battle soon at lunch." Megaman said. "But let's go meet the crew. We're gonna meet up in mayl's desk. She sits to the left of my brother or operator." He finished and as soon as he was gonna switch desks, "You're his brother? I suspected that when I looked at him and you. Let me guess.. twins?" Nova finished as Megaman stood there.

"I'll tell you the story but for now, yes I am." Megaman said slightly sad cause of what he was last year in 8th grade.

"You called us in dad?" Lan said as he walked into Dr. Hikari's office, closing the door behind him.

"Yes I did, please jack Megaman into that hologram tube by you and plwase, take a seat boys. This will take a few hours or so to explain." The Doctor said as he had a pained expression but of sadness. One that parents have when they are gonna tell their kids hurtful and disheartening truth.

"Okay dad, what's this about?" Megaman asked curiously. Wanting to know what's on his dad's mind.

"Let's start from the beginning. Lan, when you were born, you had a twin brother named Hub, after a week he fell ill. We took him to get examined and the doctors said that he had a tumor in his heart." Dr. Hikari stopped as his voice began to tremble and tears were swelling up. "The doctor's did all they could but since he was an infant, they couldn't do much for his heart and tumor." He looked at his boys as they are really sad.

"A day later Hub died and we had to see the coroner. As we got there I was able to get a tissue sample from his heart and I was able to program it into megaman. Lan, Megaman, you two are twin brothers..." He said trailing off as Megaman slowly came back to reality.

"Tell you what." Nova said as he wanted one last thing to be said before they went off. "I'll tell all of y'all my story later on." Nova looked at Megaman when the blue bomber nodden, then disappeared to mayl's desk comp.

"Hey Jake, I'm gonna go meet other navis. I'll be near if you need me but please do keep noted of what's going on." The pilot said as his net op nodded as letting him know he understood. Nova disappeared in a flash of light.

"Wow, you met him mega?" Roll said in excitement to her boyfriend. Roll and Megaman have been dating since the past year. With everything that happened with WWW, Nebula and the darkloids, they both realized their love for each other. They've always felt attraction to each other since their net ops were 13 and 14.

Now, with Lan being 16 and Mayl being 15, they've both grown stronger for each other. Megaman has been in scuffles where roll saved him. Hell, she inspired him to protect her and to be the strongest.

"Yes my sweet Roll, I did meet him. He's just 2 inches taller than me." Megaman said with a smile.

"I wanna pummel him in battle guts guts!" The gorilla of a navi, Gutsman exvitedly said while pounding his chest.

"And he has wings too?" Glyde asked while being intrigued as to what the navi looks like.

"I bet he can be our friend!" Iceman, excited to meet their new classmate.

All of a sudden, a white bolt appeared showing the new navi.

"Nice to meet y'all, I'm Nova." He said as he walked to the group of navis.

"Hi, I'm Roll, Megaman's girlfriend." The blonde in the pink battle suit happily said as she shook his hand.

"I wouldn't doubt it from how your holding onto him." He saw her holding Megaman's hand and arm as they blushed.

Gutsman then walked up and pound his chest as to show dominance.

"Guts guts. I'm Gutsman." The ape-like navi shook nova's hands and was introduced to everyone else.

"Wow, y'all are much nicer than Jake's friends back home are. I have no doubt that y'all would take care of him." He said with a slight Texan accent as he got acquainted with everyone else.

"Really? How would they treat him and you?" The little man in the parka asked in curiousness.

"Well, not like this I can tell you that." The pilot answered.

"And that class is algebraic expressions and whi-" Ms. Mari was cut off cause of the bell. "Well, looks like it's lunch time. When we comet back we're gonna go back into virus busting cause it doesn't come naturally to everyone." The teacher said as she indirectly called out Lan, with everyone logging their navis out of their systems.

The whole class went their own ways, except for the usual group of teenagers gathering up in a group and getting to know Jake, "Hey Jake? " Lan asked curiously. "Is your navi customized heavily like megaman?"

Jake turned to Lan, "Yes he is. He's heavily customed."

As the blonde almost spoke again, Lan interupted, "Good, I wanna see what he can do!" He challenged Jake. "You're on Lan!" Jake rose suddenly while accepting.

"Great.. we have a second Lan." Mayl sighed. "But I am curious of what his navi can do." The short blonde whom is known as Yai, watching the boys duke it out.

"Yea, let's see if he can take megaman down!" Dex said as he's always mad about Lan winning all the time.

"Megaman, jack in!" "Nova, jack in!"

A/N this is my first megaman fanfic but I felt I've done good. Writing always came easy, except for when the part of writing characters. I've always been a big fan of megaman since I was 5. I'm a writer but one thing I'm not is an artist. Please, for all of y'all who is an artist, I will hold a cover contest and the winner's cover will be used and I'll write their oc into the story.

Also, one more thing, I'm also gonna hold a title contest. I feel that this title is suffecient but y'all may have better ideas and likewise for the art contest. I'll use the cover and title the whole story as prize and write in an Oc for the winner of their choice or one that is of my choice.
