Prolog

A young boy, no older than 12, walked aimlessly in a dead world....our world. The world that used to be full of life, laughter, joy...now, it was all gone. Destroyed by war. He sighed and ran a hand through his brown, short, messy hair, and his brown eyes focussed on his tattered, blood soaked clothes. "It's amazing, really," He muttered to himself, "Only last year..." He closed his eyes, remembering what had happened over the years...

Den City, 6 years ago:

"I'm afraid he's dead, Lan, Haruka....I'm sorry." A man said to a crying young boy and his mother. "No!! He can't be! He promised....Hub...why..." The boy named Lan replied, his cries changing into sobs.

Den City, 1 year ago:

Lan ran into an area, and called, "Mom! Dad! They got the resistence base! Chaud, Maylu, everyone! It's only the three-...." "MOM! DAD!" He yelled, leaning over his father's and mother's charred bodies. "They.....they've killed everyone now...I'm all alone....."

Den City, 6 months earlier:

Lan blinked as a small string of data moved as he moved his arm. When he repeated the move, the same thing happened. He closed his eyes, then opened them, and found a sight of millions of strings of data before him."This ability....amazing."

----

That had been a year ago. Now, he just wandered around, hoping to find someone...something that showed life. However, he already knew that that was impossible..."Lan...." Untill he heard that. He ran towards the voice, laughing with a wide smile on his face. Someone was still alive, he wasn't alone. Maybe it was one from the people at the resistence. However, when he got there, he frowned. It was a man with blue hair and green eyes...but something seemed different. As if he was faded, like a photo.

The man smiled, and a white light engulfed both of them. "Lan.." He spoke, his voice full of warmth, "It is time for your destiny to come into play...with the ability you have gained...you will save the world..." Lan looked down and replied sadly, "What's there to save....everything in this world is gone..." The man made his way over to him. "But...there is another world. One of reploids." "Re...ploids?" "Yes...a type of robot...however, they are nearly human. They have souls...for example, I'm a reploid."

Lan frowned. "You seem..." "Faded?" The man, or reploid finished. "That is because...I am dead. I was LifeMan, Megaman's father, but after an incident, I am no more." "I see....." "Please, Lan....protect Megaman. Make sure he stays on the right path. In this new world, you will find him. It's fate." "Alright....but how will I know it's him? How do you know all this? And how do you know my name?" Lifeman simply shoved him into a sea of white. "There isn't time!" He called as Lan's vision started to blur. "Just remember what I've told you! And whatever you do, don't join Duo!! It...!!" That was all Lan heard as he blacked out.

Dreaming Sequence Beginning:

"Megaman!! You'll be late for school!" A woman with violet eyes and black hair yelled. She was inside of a small house. A boy who looked similar to Lifeman, but his hair was a little darker, and his eyes were an emerald color, walked over to her. "Mom....It's 'Mega'." The boy named Megaman groaned. He seemed more like he was about Lan's age. "Anyways....seeya after school." He replied, and with that, he carefully stepped outside. The mother just stood there. She sighed wistfully and took a seat in one of the chairs. "If only you were still alive, Life..." She closed her eyes. "Aw....how sad. A widow crying over her dead husband," A sadistic voice called out. The woman leaped to her feet and spun around. "Who's there?!" "Oh...you don't remember me? I thought for sure you would..." A man with red eyes stepped out. His body was covered in a black armor, and his hair was a blood red. The woman glowered. "You!!" The man chuckled as he disappeared. The woman let her shoulders droop for a moment, but then, her eyes widened and blood spilled over the edge of her mouth. She collapsed. It seemed she was alive but if you looked up...there was her heart on a sword. The man holding the sword was the one who had disappeared moments before. "Hm...The irony, eh?" He said with a twisted smile. "I killed Lifeman....and now I've killed you..." The man laughed evily as blood pooled around the woman's dead body.

End Dream:

Lan shot up in a bed, beathing heavily. Then, he blinked. "A bed...?" He looked around, and his eyes widened. "I'm in a room? But how....?" "You're awake, I see." A strangely familiar voice called. Lan looked up to see the boy from his dream, leaning against the doorpost. He smirked slightly. "I was surprised to see someone falling from the sky, but eh, could be worse." He shrugged. "Anyways, who are you, and why in heaven's name are you covered in blood?" Lan sighed and looked straight at the boy. "You're Mega, aren't you?" The boy flinched. "Yes.....how did you know." It wasn't a question either. "Sit down and I'll explain." Lan replied. Mega hesitently nodded, and took a seat against the wall."It all began like this...." Lan started.
