Hellos there! I'm writing a MegaMan fanfiction, just because I want to! Hahahah . . . okay let's begin.
No wait, before I start, I just want to say that I only have this chapter up because I wanted a prologue, or else I would've just started chapter one. And also, my words are very noobish. I use words like 'said' and 'shouted.' Now that that's cleared up, let's begin . . .
Wait, no I have something else to clear up. The DiVine's Triumph is the chapter title (underlined) because this prologue takes place about a year after chapter one should start. The title number/prologue/epilogue is always bolded, and the fanfiction title is always italicized.
Okay, NOW let's begin . . . after the disclaimer.
DISCLAIMER: I don't MegaMan, RockMan, or HuMan.
Prologue
MMBN10: Vine and Storm
The DiVine's Triumph
It was bright and sunny outdoors at Cyber City. Not even the thick, wooden blinds could stop the sunlight from shining in onto the sleeping Lan's face. His eyelids started to 'shudder' as if they were thinking they were human.
The eyelids opened up, revealing a pair of dreamy brown eyes. The eyelids quickly shut as it absorbed the blinding sunlight, but quickly opened up again to check the time: Five o' clock sharp.
About a year later . . . (and a 'world' away)
A loud thud and dust spread as the large crate was dropped onto the CyberShip. The muscular Navi that performed this action was none other than MetalMan. He stretched his arms out and his back made a cracking sound. His back was hurting from loading on at least 200 500-lb crates full of who-knows-what.
MetalMan, who was still busy stretching, toppled over and landed on his back on the ship's wooden floors. The tiny quakes that KnightMan created while he walked (in his language; for others, it's stomped) caused MetalMan—who was getting back up—to fall over again.
KnightMan dropped the crate onto the ship's deck and swiftly apologized to MetalMan, while he 'walked' back onto the CyberDocks to continue loading up the crates. MetalMan quickly sighed, and also resumed working.
JunkMan (AN: Zombie Navi; will reveal in later chapters) "stood" there on the CyberDock, concentrating his mind on the heavy crates and focusing his eyes onto them. His eyes glowed a brighter gold, and the crates slowly rose up into the air—levitation, or Poltergeist.
Junkman's hand pincers were guides to direct the levitating crates onto the transport ship. Real 'ghost' poltergeists weren't exactly summoned. It was just JunkMan's ability to lift up objects using his mind and 'hands.'
The three Navis would make the mission a breeze, even if it would take a few hours to complete. A rough estimation from JunkMan was created; that there were only a few hundred more crates to load.
The director of the crew, a NormalNavi named Eska, briskly walked off the ship towards KnightMan, who was busy grunting to pick up a crate. "Great job, KnightMan. This mission would've taken at least three times as long without you here."
KnightMan picked up a crate, and responded, "No problem. Always glad to help and serve under the Princess's commands." Eska slapped KnightMan on his hard, rusty back and went back to work. KnightMan nearly dropped his crate upon the contact of Eska's slap.
'Man, I might have to get repairs soon,' KnightMan thought.
MetalMan fell down on his butt after loading on one more crate. "Damn it," he said to JunkMan.
"Lucky, that you can use your poltergeists to do all the work for you."
JunkMan ignored his statement. After loading on another crate, was when he finally replied, "It takes a lot of work to do this. My mind really hurts after this if I use this several times." The way he spoke was dark and deep, and had a slight echo to it as if he was talking in an empty steel room.
MetalMan sighed, and lifted up another crate. "How much are we getting paid, anyway?"
The answer was quite expected, but not appreciated. "We're not."
". . . Then why are we working?"
". . . For the service hours?"
MetalMan sighed again, and proceeded to load the crate onto the ship. As he took a step on the ship, he heard a creek, coming from his knee. He bent down and examined both of his knees, and they were a little brownish.
"Tamako!" MetalMan exclaimed to his operator. No response. "Tamako!" he shouted again. Still no response. "HEY! TAMAKO!" Again, no response. "DAMN IT! SAY SOMETHING YOU OLD HAG!"
MetalMan's eardrums would never hear anything the same way again.
"WHAT'D YOU SAY!?" Tamako shrieked at MetalMan. "YOU'RE CALLING ME AN OLD HAG? LOOK AT YOUR DAMN BODY, IT'S FREAKING RUSTING UP!!"
MetalMan twitched. "Oh god, that was the reason why I was—I . . . you know what? Never mind that I ever asked for you." He sighed another time, and went back down to pick up a crate.
Tamako 'psh-ed' at MetalMan and lay back in her chair where she was operating from. "Now then, if you'll excuse me . . . I'm going back to my beauty sleep."
"All sleeping's going to do is further ruin your complexion," MetalMan whispered, which lucky for him: Tamako didn't hear.
Moments later . . .
MetalMan fell down on his butt, and let out a sigh of relief. "Finally, we're finished." Then he fell onto his back. "But now I'm so bored!"
"It hasn't even been a second yet," KnightMan stated.
"Whatever,"
JunkMan crouched his head down; his yellow dot eyes turned black, and he drifted off to sleep. But then his eyes turned back on, and he immediately rose up and got into a defensive pose. "Viruses," he whispered.
And MetalMan immediately stood up on his feet. "The boredom suddenly went away." He looked off into the distance, focusing his eyes on the small moving dots that were coming closer every second. Up in the sky, a flock of small, bird-like viruses were flapping their wings and flying towards the CyberDocks.
The flock had a variety of birds. The ones that were smaller were the majority, and had blue feathers and had a 2 inch long beak, were about an 8-inch wingspan. The ones that were larger had purple feathers with the same beak length as the smaller ones, except with a foot long wingspan. The most noticeable similarity, however, is the fact that they all wore goggles, and that their squawks had the same annoyance level as an Asian parent after figuring out their child got below an 89 on a quiz.
"I spy with my little eyes . . . about twenty birds," MetalMan stated. "TAMAKO! WAKE UP! VIRUSES!!"
Tamako immediately jumped out of the chair she was sleeping on and held her PET firmly. "Finally, something to do." She gave a smirk.
KnightMan called his own operator, Princess Pride, who quickly examined the incoming bird-viruses, and after some time, she recognized them. "Beat viruses!" she exclaimed (AN: Yeah, I based the virus off the annoying NaviCust program: Beat)
"From this distance," KnightMan started, "I think I'm the only one that can reach them. KINGDOM CRUSHER!" His right hand transformed into a huge spiked ball, and he aimed at the birds with his right arm, as if it was a gun. The spiked ball that he had for a hand burst out of the arm with tons of speed, although it was still attached to the arm via chain.
The flock of birds easily dodged the incoming attack, but 3 of them were deleted anyway, because the spiked ball crashed through the flock as the chain was pulling it back to KnightMan.
"I got a few," KnightMan said. "Better than nothing."
"Hmm . . ." JunkMan thought. "It's going after the ship. Beat viruses always love to steal things. And that ship is hella full of things."
The Beat viruses completely ignored the three Navis, and instead dove for the ship, sticking out their talons, ready to grab random crates.
Suddenly, Eska, the mission director, leapt up from behind a crate, and spoke in a heroic tone, "Hah! You've been fooled! Now taste the wraths of my WideSword!" Eska's right hand turned into a wide, blue virtual blade.
He smirked because he knew that this time he WAS going to save the day. His smirk disappeared soon, because a purple Beat flew with lightning speed towards the NormalNavi, and grabbed the WideSword with its talons and snapped it.
Eska lay shocked, but only for a few seconds, because three blue Beats soon rammed him in the stomach. He tumbled off the ship and landed on his back onto the virtual wooden planks that made up the CyberDocks.
"I find it weird that this guy can direct a mission," MetalMan said, and pitifully looked at the fainted Eska. "Let's show this dude how to correctly bust viruses. Tamako!"
"Yeah, yeah," Tamako said, grabbing random chips from her chip case. "So if these pigeons are Wind element, then we can delete them quickly with swords! Battle chip: CrushSword, Slot-in!" (AN: Yeah, the way things work is based on the Japanese version)
MetalMan's right fist disappeared, and was replaced by a hole. A blade emerged from the hole, yielding both Breaking and Sword elements. The blade was thick and looked like it could easily cut a mountain in half. "CRUSHSWORD!" he yelled, and swung at the Beat viruses, which saw it coming and evaded the blade by a hair.
"KnightMan! I'm sending you chip data now!" Pride stated, and drew out a WindRacket chip. "Battle chip: Wind Racket, Slot-in!" KnightMan's spiked ball transformed into a hand again, which was holding a paper fan.
He swiped the air with this fan, and wind suddenly erupted from out of nowhere, blowing the Beat viruses toward MetalMan, who gave a battle cry and deleted five of the blue feathered viruses. The purple ones easily resisted the wind from the racket.
The remaining Beats then sank their talons into the huge wooden crate, and started to fly up away, towards the north (AN: Bear with me when I'm using directions), carrying the heavy crates with them.
"Pretty tough for a bunch of birds," MetalMan stated.
"Poltergeist," JunkMan whispered in his spooky voice, and the crates that the Beats were carrying flipped over, bringing the Beat viruses with them. The viruses immediately let go of the crates, and started to fly off.
"Not so fast!" MetalMan shouted, and cut up the remaining of the birds with his gigantic sword.
"Don't let the crates fall in the water!" KnightMan shouted.
"I know!" JunkMan shouted back, and used most of his power to psychically pick up the crates and place them safely back on the ship. When they landed, JunkMan put his head down, and started panting heavily. It's not easy controlling that many crates. "Is that it?"
"There's one more," KnightMan said, pointing to the south, the opposite direction that the other birds were going. There was a blue Beat, flying swiftly away, holding a crate by his talons. "Damn it. Our mission was to make sure all crates got safely on the boat. And that Beat is already too far away. We've failed." KnightMan fell onto his knees. "I'm sorry, Princess, for failing the mission."
"It's okay, KnightMan. You only let one crate get stolen. Stop being so hard on yourself," the Princess said, trying to cheer him up.
"Yeah," MetalMan said. "Besides, we can still get that crate back. Right, Tamako?"
"You bet!" she grinned, and snatched three chips from her chip case. "Program Advance: Battle chip: Yoyo, triple slot-in!"
As soon as the first Yoyo chip was inserted, MetalMan's CrushSword transformed into a bladed yoyo. When the second one was inserted, his left hand transformed into a yoyo. As the third one was inserted, the two Yoyos that MetalMan was currently yielding glowed.
The right one glowed blue; the left one glowed green. The two glowing Yoyos then started to close in on each other, and merged together into one big Yoyo with a red glow.
"GREAT-YOYO!" MetalMan and Tamako both shouted. MetalMan shot the Yoyo out of the two arms that were carrying it, towards the retreating Beat. The big yoyo, like KnightMan's spiked ball, was still attached to MetalMan by a string. The big red yoyo suddenly split into three smaller ones, which went a lot faster and covered much more distance than a regular yoyo chip.
One of the yoyo's strings tangled up around the small Beat, while the other two wrapped itself around the crate. MetalMan pulled both the bird and the crate in, with the crate landing on the ship and the bird landing on the ground in front of MetalMan.
"Hasta la vista," MetalMan grinned, and his right fist grew to twice its original size, and the bird gave one more annoying squawk before being pounded by MetalMan's fist, sent through the ground, and being deleted.
"Meh," MetalMan sighed, staring at the deep hole in the ground that he made. "I'm not paying for that," and he walked away from the hole, towards the resting JunkMan and MetalMan. "Great job, team."
Around this time, Eska awakened, and started to look around, confused. "What happened?" he asked no one in particular, and that's when he noticed that there was a hole in the ground. "That's a pretty deep hole. How did it get there? . . . HOLY F-"
"AHH!!"
MetalMan, JunkMan, and KnightMan immediately turned their heads toward the screaming, and witnessed a weird-looking virus with a skull for a head, sticking out of the hole MetalMan created. Eska's legs were hanging out of the skull's mouth, and was quickly slurped in and swallowed.
The "virus's" body was completely made out of plants. There were vines and bamboo and leaves and daisies and seaweed. The body was mostly made out of vines, however. In the middle of the plant party, was the skull of the virus, which was covered with dirt.
Even without eyes, the virus seemed to be able to see perfectly, because it was looking straight ahead at the three Navis. In the forehead part of the skull, was a small hole in which small worms, maggots, and caterpillars were crawling in and out of.
The virus hissed, and a snake-like tongue slithered out of its mouth quickly, and back in. "Not a bad appetizzzzer, but now it'sssss time for the main courssssse."
"What is that virus?" KnightMan asked, readying himself into a battle position.
The plant thing started to laugh hysterically. "I'm not a virusssss . . . and I am called the DIVINE!" (AN: We will be calling him Vine)
JunkMan roared. "I hate stupid puns!" JunkMan, operator-less, dug into his own memory bank and selected his own chip data: HeatSide. "HEATSIDE!" JunkMan's pincer hands transformed into a gun, which shot out a swift fireball at the DiVine.
"Too easssy!" Vine cackled, easily dodging the fireball as it used its plant body to leap out of the hole and slither across the ground. "Now, VINE SSSLASSSH!" A sharp vine shot out of its body swiftly, towards MetalMan. It was too fast. MetalMan couldn't evade it.
But that's where KnightMan comes in. "IRON BODY!" He immediately jumped in front of MetalMan and activated his Iron Body. KnightMan's steel body suddenly turned gray and immobile, but denser and tougher, and the sharp vine simply bounced off of the titanium-like KnightMan.
"Thanks, KnightMan," MetalMan said.
KnightMan replied with a simple no problem.
Vine cackled again. "Iron Body: A very powerful defensssse that can block every type of attack excccccept one. And that one issss: A Breaking elemental attack." Vine slithered across the ground with tremendous speed, and his mouth opened out and his snake-like tongue stuck out. The tongue morphed into a pinky-sized drill.
"MOUTH DRILL!" it shouted, and the drill started to make its 'whir' sounds as it poked a hole into MetalMan's chest, right about his icon, which was the crucial point of any Navi. He fell to his knees, holding the hole in his chest.
"KnightMan!" JunkMan, MetalMan, and Princess Pride all screamed.
"I'm okay . . . " he mumbled, and got back on his feet. Then fell again. This time, he landed flat on his face, on the edge of fainting.
"Hang in there, KnightMan," MetalMan said, sticking his arm up in the sky. "Tamako! Give me a sword."
"Right!" she yelled, and inserted a sword that would give MetalMan an advantage: FireSword. "Battle Chip: FireSword, slot-in!"
MetalMan's arm—the one facing upwards in the air—glowed white, and transformed into a wide, red-orange blade that had streams of smoke sizzling out of the guard.
"Magnetic Metal!" The tall Navi stuck his arms out, and he rose up a foot off the ground. "Ah, it feels so good to be able to be in my floating position again." MetalMan smirked, and dashed off towards the plant, and slashed.
Vine roared in pain, and MetalMan smirked, thinking that he had just won the battle. It was far from over, as Vine gave a smirk himself.
"Jusssst . . . kidding!" Vine's entire solid body blew up, and water flew off everywhere, including MetalMan's face.
"What the hell is this?" he cried out, and his body suddenly turned stiff. The water that hit his body caused the rusting to take place quicker. "Damn it," he cursed, and the water that was all spread about over the CyberDocks started to gather up in one place, and reformed the plant form of Vine.
"Haha, nicccce try, but I'm a DoubleElement (AN: Again . . . will explain in later chapters)," it hissed, and his body full of vegetation turned into water again. It leapt towards the vulnerable MetalMan, but quickly stopped as it saw from the corner of its watery eye, that JunkMan was charging at it with an ElecSword.
"Another nicccce try!" Vine hissed, and a gigantic leaf appeared in front of it. "Leaf ssshield!" Although the leaf looked weak, it completely stopped the ElecSword that JunkMan used. "Now I got you!" Vine opened his mouth wide and took a bite at JunkMan.
JunkMan tried to leap away, but his right arm was caught, and it broke apart from his body. "DAMN IT!!" he yelled, and screamed in pain, while Vine enjoyed his meal. "What kind of damn virus is this?"
"Didn't I sssay? I'm not a virusssss."
"Then what the hell are you?"
"What good will it do for you? You're about to be eaten."
"Good point. But remember that eating my arm won't do any good for you. Because you're about to be deleted! JUNK PRESS!" His right arm grew back almost instantly, and along with his left arm, it shot forward and slammed itself against Vine's "body", which was sent flying away.
And just like MetalMan, JunkMan thought he got Vine.
He didn't.
The living jungle reappeared behind JunkMan, and stroke him with one of his vines on the back of his neck. JunkMan fell down onto the ground, and his yellow eyes shut, and he fell unconscious.
"I sssssee . . ." Vine hissed. "You're a Zzzombie Navi, an invulnerable Navi." Vine moved closer to JunkMan. "However, even the invulnerable onessss have a weak point. And that'ssss lack of knowledge. You didn't know that I'm able to teleport to the UnderNet in the blink of an eye, and back. Ssso you didn't sssssee it coming.
"Now prepare to get eaten!" Vine opened his mouth wide and picked up JunkMan using vines. He placed JunkMan in his mouth, and swallowed him whole. "Tastes as good as it should be!" Vine smirked, and moved onto the rusted MetalMan.
Vine did the same thing to MetalMan as he did to JunkMan: Slash him across the back of his neck, and swallow him whole.
"METALMAN!!" Tamako screamed at the top of her lungs. She dropped her PET, and fell down onto the ground. Her most valuable friend has just been eaten.
Then Vine turned to look at KnightMan.
"No . . ." Princess Pride said quietly, on the verge of tears. "Don't eat KnightMan. Please! I beg of you!"
The DiVine did the exact opposite of her commands, and KnightMan sank down into Vine's bottomless belly. Vine gave a loud hiss of triumph, and leapt into the hole created by MetalMan.
About one year ago . . .
It was bright and sunny outdoors at Cyber City. Not even the thick, wooden blinds could stop the sunlight from shining in onto the sleeping Lan's face. His eyelids started to 'shudder' as if they were thinking they were human.
The eyelids opened up, revealing a pair of dreamy brown eyes. The eyelids quickly shut as it absorbed the blinding sunlight, but quickly opened up again to check the time: Five o' clock sharp.
