Megaman Battle Network – Sibling Rivalry
Chapter 1 – Painful Memories
It was the day, it was a day he looked forward too but also a day he dreaded. Standing there all alone he looked at the grave. Hub Hikari. "I'm keeping my promise," he whispered to himself.
"Huh?" came a voice from Lan's waist. Realizing he wasn't alone he grabbed his PET and checked the screen.
"I thought I turned you off," he said.
"Yeah, you also set my alarm so you wouldn't be late for school and you're still late," replied Megaman.
"No way! I forgot it was a school day today!" said Lan in a panic.
"It is, can we get away from here, it gives me the creeps looking at my own grave."
After school (which Lan was late for), Lan went home and went on the net for a few hours. After a few hours virus busting Lan logged Megaman out of the net and went to go downstairs. At the door he heard his Mum and Dad arguing.
"Just let me do this, it won't be for long I promise," he heard his Dad pleading.
"Yes, and is this meant to replace Hub like Megaman was," his Mum said.
"No, it's meant to help me keep a promise I made."
"To who?"
"To her."
"Her, you mean..."
"Yes."
"It sounds funny hearing you talk about her again, you haven't talked about her since Lan and Hub were born."
"I know, but I have to keep this promise. And I promise to you that it will only be for a year at the most."
Lan didn't listen anymore and went upstairs for a few minutes while they finished arguing. When he went down his Dad wasn't there anymore.
"Where's Dad?" he asked.
"He had to go back into work," was all his Mum said about it, "Are you going out Lan?"
"Yes mum."
"Don't be too late Lan."
Lan, Mayl, Dex and Yai were all in the park sitting down as Lan told them what he overheard. All four of them and their Navi's had something to say about it.
"Are you sure that's what you heard Lan?" said Mayl.
"Yeah, I mean you may have heard wrong Lan, did you hear any of it Mega ?" said Roll.
"Yes and that's exactly what they said Roll," said Megaman.
"What could it mean?" ask Yai, "I mean did your Dad have a girlfriend before your Mum?"
"Miss Yai, you shouldn't really be poking into Dr. Hikari's past like that," scolded Glide, "But Miss Yai does raise the point of who is this mysterious woman?"
"Anyone ever thought it could be a girl? I mean just because he knew her before Lan was born doesn't mean that she can't be just two or three years older than us," said Dex.
"Dex, you may have hit it on the ball there for once," said Mayl, "It could be a similar situation to Megaman and Hub here."
"Yehaw Dex is on the ball!" said Gutsman.
"Maybe," said Lan, "It's the weekend tomorrow, maybe we could go to see what chips we can get in town tomorrow."
"I'm game," said Mayl.
"If I come then Chaiso is going to have to come to, is that ok with you Lan?" asked Dex.
"Of course it is Dex," replied Mayl, "Chaiso is one great kid and we don't mind him being around at all."
"I can't come tomorrow," said Yai, "My Dad wants me to go on a business trip with him to Netopia for the weekend."
"Ok then, we meet by the metroline tomorrow morning then," said Lan, "I'd best be off home now anyway. See you tomorrow."
Lan went home and went in the house and was surprised by the fact his Dad was home. He was even more surprised to see that there was a girl his own age there too.
"Lan, great timing," said his Dad, "Let me introduce you to your new sister Sarah."
