Mega Transmission
AN: Ok, this is a rewrite of a fic i did a few years ago and stopped due to the quality being poor. Mega Transmission is set after Battle Network 4 but does not cound the other Battle Network games due to it being written before five and six came out. So I do change a few things. Also, I advanced the ages of everyone to Freshmen in High School. I do add new charachters and make current ones either assholes or just ignore them. I do hope you enjoy my rewite of this fic and hope it gets popular.
Chapter 1: High School
In the year 20XX, the world was changed. The Internet was expanded to creae a new society to unify the world in a way it never saw before. Using AI avatars known as Net navigators, people began interacting in ways never seen before. But a nation of humanoid robots, known as Reploids, were soon ignored by the humans and due to being infected by a virus, began an uprising against the humans. A peace treaty was signed after a three year war that nearly destroyed both sides and the maverick reploids were destroyed. In time peace returned, but history has ways of repeating itself.
Many years after the war with men and machines, the world florished once again. Net Navi's began getting more personality of their own and a whole cities formed in the internet. But an evil organization known as World Three began terrorizing the world, threatenign to destroy all they hold dear. But a lone hero emerged. A ten yeat old boy named Lan Hikariand his net navi Megaman battled World Three and their sinister leader Dr. WIly. After many adventures, the boy became a young man and now attends ACDC High School. His story continues here.
He woke up to the sound of a buzzing alarm clock. The young man's annoyed grumbles were barely audible as he hit the alarm clock next to his bed. A voice came from his desk across the room, but he could barely register the voice as he rose his head over his pillows.
"Whazzit goin on?" He asked looking around, but his brown hair covering his eyes. He parts it aside and he sees his room, adorned with netbattling trophies and general mess of Lan's clothes. The youn man arose and wrapped his head in a blue headband with a red symbol on the brow.
The boy arose from his bed and heard a familiar voce from his desk. "Lan, that alarm clock was annoying me, you need to wake up faster." The voice said. Lan grumbled to himself as he walked over to the laundry hamper and pulled out a pair of jeans. They were really more of khaki utility pants with massive pockets and a custom holster fro his Personal Terminal or PET. Lan put his pants on and threw on a blue long sleave shirt Lan walked over to his desk and picked up his terminal and looked down to the scowling face of his net navi.
"Oh come on Megaman, I got up didn't I?" Lan said to the blue navi who wasn't the least bit amused.
"Lan, you need to quit staying up half the night doing God knows what you do. I would be more understanding if you spent it cleaning this pigsty you call a room." Megaman said as Lan put the PET in his Holster.
Lan walked out and saw that his mother wasn't in the kitchen, heck she wasn't even in the house. "Uh Megaman, what time is it?" Lan asked looking around.
"Lets see, gotta get through the clutter the PET has, weather, news, ahh here we are. Oh...." Megaman said suddenly going silent. Lan pulled the PET out and saw soemthing dreadfull. It was 10:30 AM and he was very late for school. Lan put the PET back in the holster, quickly put his shoes on and after lockign the door, he ran for it.
Lan ran as fast as his legs would allow him. He ran down the streets, dodging through the various people who got inhis way, even knocking a baker down while a cake lands on him. Lan yelled an apoligy and continued running till he reached his destination.
ACDC High, a massive building servicing students and teachers alike with its high tech access to resources usually undreamed High Schools. As Lan walked into the front door he was pushed tot he ground. Lan looked up to see his attacker and groaned.
He was a full head taller than Lan, wearing a red and black jacket and black t-shirt. His hair was also black but the top was dyed white. He also spiked his hair and to Lan it made him more menacing. The heavy boots he wore gave a thud as he stood over him.
"Late again huh bitch?" The young man with the cold blue eyes said. Lan quickly got up and glared at him.
"You would wait for me at the door wouldn't you asshole!" Lan said facing him.
"Nonsense Lan, I got a call from the Officials for an important assignment. You know, the kind of stuff you keep refusing to do. But then again, I dunno why they still want an untalented whelp like you. Wasting his time with tournaments." Chaud said shoving past him.
"It was that selfish nature fo yours that drove Mayl from you." Chaud said walking off. Lan was furious that he woudl dare bring that up, but lately all Chaud was doing was antagonizing him. Chaud was already heading away to whatever he was needed for. Lan turned around and headed to his second period class.
Ms. Cherry was a strict woman. One of her main rules was to never be tardy, and so Lna found himself once again in soon as he stepped throught he door.
"Lan, I would be willing to keep you off detention but it seems you once again forgot your homework." She said as Lan took his seat.
Ms. Cherry was a short fat woman who taught them math and sometimes doubled for Advanced biology. Like her name, her hair was cherry red.
"Now everyone, before we were inturupted by Mr. Hikari's latest entrance, Let us get back to fractions." She said returning to the board as her navi CalculusMan, showed them today's lesson.
Lan looked behind him and saw his friend Dex, a great big man wearing a green shirt and black shorts with a mohawk, was laughing at him a little. His other friend yai, a girl who was both much younger and much smarter than all of them sat next to Dex wearing her expensive red dress. Her blode hair was made into a long french braid that took six peole to make that morning. Lan sometimes wondered about her.
After class Lan, Dex and yai made their way to lunch. The cafeteria was a wide open space with several lines dedicated to vegetarion, snack or whatever full course meals they had. Lan and Dex settled for cheese fries and Yai settled for a salad. The trio got their places at a table off the way and began mingling with each other.
"Lan, dude, what the hell took you so long? And what were you doing last night, fighting crime?" Dex said giving a hearty laugh. Lan allowed himsefl a smirk.
"I was waiting online for her to come on." Lan said quietly. Dex and Yai looked at him in shock.
"Lan, dude, you know Mayl won't talk to you anymore. She is still totally pissed about how you were acting after that Nebula incident." Dex said. L;an groaned to himself.
After defeationg Dr. Regal, Lan's head got alot bigger. His attitude changed for the worst. Even when Yai and Dex stopped talkign to him he didn't care, sicne he still had Mayl, the beautiful girl next door. But then she left him, for Eugene Chaud. That left Lan bitter and this mess and he realized it was because of how selfish he was that Mayl left him.
Chaud always managed to get the better of him after that. Except in Netbattling, which Lan took to earnestly. Both Megaman and Gutsman were now tougher than usual. In fact Gutsman got so strong that sometimes Gutsman would get the upper hand and beat Megaman.
"Lan, you need to just go up to her and apoligize, Im sure if she sees how miserable you are she would forgive you. We did." Yai said looking at Lan with her normal concern. Lan looked over and saw her for the first time that week.
Her hair was now longer, up to her shoulder blades, she wore a similar skirt but thigh length boots instead of long socks. Her shirt was a blue blouse with a few pink decorations on them. She kept herself away from looking in the direction of Lan and the others and kept talking to her new friends. Lan just turned away in shame and kept eating his cheesefries.
"So Lna, you up for some practice later?" Dex asked. Lan shook his head.
"Can't, I got detention remember? Mom is going to freak when she hears about this. Dad, well, he will probably freak to but he is always at the lab doing secret stuff." Lan said bitterly.
"Well, if you wouldn't argue with her so much, maybe you two wouldn't be at each others throats so often." Yai said with a glare. It was well known that Lan and his mom have been arguing as of late and it was a little insulting to Yai and Dex.
Lan just shrugged it off and hey all ate in silence till it was time for the next class.
Lan seperated from Dex and Yai after 6th period and went to Geography class. He walked with his head low, not paying attention when he ran into a person and they both fell to the floor. Lan quickly got up to help whoever got knocked tot he floor.
"Watch were your going next time!" A female voice said and Lan was shocked.
"Mayl?" Lan asked. The girl looked up with brown eyes and saw her old friend.
"Lan? Wow I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that." She said. Lan helped her up and picked up ehr books.
"Um... I hear you no longer compete in Netbattling Tournaments anymore." She said when Lan picked up his book bag.
"Uh, yeah. I stopped. No need to act like a dumb kid anymore." Lan said enrvously, but still trying to give off a winning smile. She gave a half smile and Lan soon found his feet wobbly.
"Well, Chaud tells me you keep rejecting the invitation to join the Officials." She said and Lan was a little shocked that Chaud even mentioned that.
"Yeah well I have my reasons for not joining. It's a bit complicated." Lan said lookign away.
"Lan, you could be helping people. I know you could do it well Lan." She said grabbign his arm.
"Mayl. I don't want to help people anymore." He said walking away. He didn't see the look of hurt on her face as he walked in a bathroom.
"Oh my god. She actually talked. And God I screwed it up again!" Lan exclaimed while splashing his face with water.
"Look Lan, she was concered about you. Didn't you ehar it in her voice?" Megaman asked. Lan didn't register it.
"She thinks I can help people. Doesn't she realize I don't want to be like Chaud?" Lan said slamming his fist in a wall.
"Lan, please, calm down. At least she spoke to you." Megaman said nodded and dried his face.
After school Lan said goodbye to Dex and Yai and went to the detention room.
He saw only one other student in their. He looked like he was fast asleep, and snoring kinda loudly. Lan took a seat and began working on sme homework while the detention overseer, a college student, was busy manicuring her nails.
Lan waited paitently for the familiar beep of her cell phone. She looked up and glared at it and answered in a sick sweet voice.
"Hey honey,Oh I'm not doing anything special, give me a second." She said putting a hand on the reciver of her cellphone.
"Don't you little brats even think of leaving." She said walkign out the door.
Lan shook his head with humor when suddenly the snoring stopped. Lan turned around and a figure woke up. He outstreached his massive arms, looking like a bat opening it's wings. His slicked back hair had a few strands sticking up.
"God, I thought she would never leave." The man said adjusting his coat. He stood up and stretched his back. Lan saw he was about 6'3'' and fromt he looks of him, he resembled a detective from the old movies he woudld watch.
"So, your the famous Lan Hikari." The man said sitting back down.
"How do you know my name?" Lan asked. The main just rolled his eyes.
"Kid, the Officals Netbattler Office has been trying to get you to join since, I think when you beat that pussy Dr. Regal. These guys still think that a kid who wastes his time netbattleing or whining about soem girl who doesn't talk to him is good Official material." He said.
That struck a nerve and Lan got out of his seat to face him. "You don't even bring that up asshole!" Lan exclaimed. The man gave a hearty laugh.
"Oh you got spirit kid, I'll give you that. Heck I think your smarter than they give you credit for. I mean, You got 15 files full of denial reports. And I am assuming you are denying the Officals once again." He said pulling out a pen and pad of paper then writting something on it. Lan relaxed around the man as he put up the pad of paper.
"So, I recently transfered from Netopia. And when I get to Official HQ all I hear about is how good you and Chaud are. Seeing as Chaud is a glorified virus buster and you busted up criminal organizations, I want to see just how good you are." He said pulling out his PET.
"The names Gordon, and I challenge you to a netbattle." He said pulling out his hand in a formal invitation. Lan took it.
"Your on, the battle room, after detention." Lan said with a grin, a rare one he got when he was about to have a battle.
Afte detention, both Lan and Gordon walked throught he halls and found the Battle room. an area of the school where people can solve their differences in netbattles. Gordon got busted trying to hustle money from several people by betting on the outcomes.
The pair faced off at one of the arenas and the pair got ready.
"JACK IN MEGAMAN, POWER UP!" Lan said sending Megaman to the arena.
Gordon just gave him a funny look and sent his navi into the arena.
Megaman stood around the digital arena, built to look like multiple things, like a maze, a massive tower and the standard dueling arena. He looked around and wondered where the other Navi is. He didn't have to wait long as massive explosions fired from nearby.
Megaman was knocked back and the final explosion sent him flying where he landed on the ground. Megaman tried to get up but a massive hand grabbed his face and threw him to the side.
Megaman looked up and saw a great massive Navi. He was about five feet taller than Megaman, with olive drab green color sceme. His face though was a big red dot. In hos right arm was a massive bazooka, colored silver and smoking from the barrel. His other arm was also just as massive with a strange shield on it.
Megaman began firing his mega buster at the navi, but it seemed to just bounce off of him.
"Heh, heh, heh, that little pea shooter won't even scratch my paintjob." The massive navi said in a deep voice.
Megaman got up and got into a fighting stance. The massive navi walked around to the side and the two began circling each other.
"Ok, so hitting you wih my mega buster ain't working. So how about this. HI-CANNON!" Megaman shouted, turning his buster arm to a cannon and fired it at the navi. It was a direct hit and it seemed to damage him, but it just seemed to shrug it off then charged at Megaman.
"If you think a wimpy little cannon attack like that can hurt the mighty Creeper, you would be greatly mistaken." It said kicking Megaman in the chest.
Megaman got up just in time to see Creeper firing more barages from his bazooka. Megaman jumped out of the way and called for Spread shot. Megaman fired at him but once again, seemed to just shrug it off.
"Ok, new plan. WIDE SWORD!" Megaman shouted, and his buster arm transformed into a blue blade with an arcing blade tip. He lunged at Creeper and was deflected by a blade attached to Creeper's other arm.
"I am prepared for close range combat as well as destroying targets. Your efforts are futile." Creeper said lunging the blade at Megaman. Megaman dodged out of the way and found an oppurtunity.
He charged up his Megabuster and sent a massive blast right into Creeper's face. The massive navi did feel that and staggered backwards.
Megaman decided to press his advantage and activated Metal Soul. He was still the same size as usual, but he was now wearing red and silver. Metal gears for shoulders and his helmet was red with blades going over it.
Megaman delivered a massive punch to Creeper and then twirled around and slammed him with the back end of his fist. Creeper fell backwards and found Megaman on top of him delivering massive blows to Creeper's face. It seemed that the battle was won but then Megaman found a hand around his neck.
"You have some moves, but no more playing around." Creeper snarled as he threw Megaman off of him and quickly jumped up.
"Jeez, this guy is spry for a big guy." Megaman said as Metal Soul then lept away and fired another cannon shot at Creeper. The blast once again proved blast was met by another bazooka shot that Megaman carefully dodged in midair.
As he landed, Creeper ran right at Megaman and tackled him. Megaman fell back, but in midair, he caught himself and landed on his hand and flipped to the ground.
"Is that all you got Creeper?" Megaman said. The giant navi said nothing and his red eye glowed brighter. A massive red beam shot from his eye and Megaman just narrowly dodged it. The blast hit the ground and made a small explosion.
"Yeah, that was real threatening." Megaman goaded but Creeper merely pointed behind him. Megaman looked around and the area that the red beam his erupted in a massive explosion. It's shockwave caught Megaman and sent him flying. Creepr stood still, as apperently his massive frame could withstand an explosion of a high magnatude.
Megaman got up from the explosion and saw a massive cannon pointed at his face.
"It appears the Officals were mistaken. I find it amazing that a mewing baby such as yourself could have saved the world four times. It matters little. It now ends here." Creeper said.
In his one last ditch effort, Megaman activated Roll Soul and managed to teleport away.
Megaman was changed again, this time, his form was pink with a heart symbol on his chest. Gold antennae formed on his head into two half circles and his megabuster held a crossbow.
Megaman fired and arrow just as Creeper took aim and found a direct hit on Creeper's bazooka arm. The arrow pierced the navi and he dropped his weapon.
"So it seems I underestimated you again. And it appears I know know the source of your strength." Creeper said standing upright.
Megaman deactivated Roll Soul and stood in front of Creeper. "What is the source of my power?" Megaman sincerely asked.
"Twice in this battle, you called upon the power of friends, giving you an advantage. Your friends give you strength. And it is something I cannot hope to match. You have provved your worth to me and my operator." Creeper said logging out. Megaman followed soon after.
Lan and Gordon stood across from each other in the room. Lan looked exhausted from the battle while Gordon wore a smirk on his face.
"Well, you underestimate me again Lan. First you prove to be a competant operator, then you even win both mine and Creeper's respect. I'll get the Officials to back off ya." Gordon said.
"Thanks. And that Creepr navi, what the hell is he made of?" Lan asked scratching the back of his head.
"Oh, my navi isn't a standard net navi. His is a military grade navi, built for total destruction." Gordon said motioning for Lan to follow him out of the room.
The pair walked down the hallway, leaving the school and sitting outside. "That was something, Creeper rarely stops a fight until either he is beaten, or he smashes your navi to kingdom come. You two really impressed him." Gordon said pulling out his PET.
"Just remember Lan, you may have earned my respect, but don't you go about saying you won. Because that battle was far from over." Creeper said through the screen.
"Yeah, when do ya want a rematch?" Megaman said through Lan's PET.
"I say we postpone that one for another time, I see your mom driving up. Let me handle this." Gordon said standing up.
The pair walked to the van and saw Lan's mother fuming. Her usual calm exterior was gone for a more angry exterior.
"You have really got a lot of nerve young man! First you don't wake up on time, then I see you had another detention! You are in so much trouble young man!" Mrs. Hikari said yelling. Gordon stepped in.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry to inturupt, but Lan wasn't late to class at all. He did wake up late but I saw him leaving his home at 7:45, ten minutes after you left for the day." Gordon said, applying an odd charm to his voice. Rather than it being gruff and hard, it was kind and polite, like how most Officals talked.
"Then why was he late leaving school?" Mrs. Hikari said not buying the bluff.
"Well ma'am, he was helping me with my virus busting homework. While we were in class I was falling ebhind and he offered to stay behind and help me." Gordon said, just as kindly as he did earlier.
"Lan, you offered to help tutor someone? You mean, stay after school?" Mrs. Hikari asked both shocked and filled with pride for her son.
"Yeah, well. This guy needed help. It was mostly with the paperwork. He can handle viruses by himself though." Lan said catching on to Gordon's lie.
"Also ma'am, wouldn't you have gotten a call from the school if Lan was late and had detention?" Gordon said. This revelation shocked Lan and Mrs. Hikari.
"Well, I guess your right. And your such a sweet boy. Why don't you come have dinner with us? I'll let you call your family once we get to the house." Mrs. Hikari said.
Gordon gave a winnign grin. "I would be honored to. I would also like to get to know my new friend better." Gordon said. The group got in the van and drove off to Lan's house.
Over at Lan's house, Gordon was half dragged into Lan's room where he would explain some things.
"Ok buster, how did you manage to manipulate the school system. That thing can't be accesses unless your a teacher or a..."Lan said but Gordon cut him off.
"Or an Official Netbattler on Official buisness. Lan, I accessed the computer and just altered the time and diverted the call to a friend of mine in the Officials. She posed as your mom and I must say young man she was very disappointed in you gettign a detention." Gordon said with a smile.
Lan and Gordon then shared a finally looked around the room and found the place to be extremely messy.
"What is this place, a room or a pigsty?" Gordon commented. Lan looked around the room and saw ir was a little disgusting.
"Ya know. I think after dinner. I'll clean this place up." Lan said and he meant it.
"Boys, Dinner's ready." Mrs. Hikari announced. Lan and Gordon looked at each other and went downstairs for dinner.
Elsewhere....
The nation of Reploida, the land of the Reploids, a critical dilema was unfolding. At the military headquarters of Repliforce, a tall robotic man marched down the hallway to the central office of his commander. He was almost human, but underneath was complete robotics. His armor was white and black with a black cap. His jaw seemed to also be supported by a red chinguard.
he stadily marched through the offices, as military reploids began processing several developments. The stark white rooms seemed to have no effect on them, but their human counterparts would probably paint the room a different color.
The reploid marched into the command office and knocked once.
"Enter." Came a massive voice from the other reploid entered and stood into the massive office.
The comander stoof behind a massive desk, but hus back was to the door. He was overlooking his window and the reploids he protected.
He was a great and massive reploid, with blue and gold armor. His hat was gold with black stripes His silver fists were adorned with spikes that many suspected could shoot lasers.
He turened to the reploid and his silver face saw the reploid standing in perfect attention, saluting his superior.
The comander returned the salute and the pair dropped their arms.
"What is it you have to report Colonel?" The massive robot asked in a low voice.
"General, we have some information on the prison escape." Colonel said pulling out a datapad.
"Who were the escapees?" The General asked walking around his desk.
"Well sir, The current estimates were eight mavericks escaped. their designations were, Rainy Turtleoid, Blizzard Wolfang, Slash Beast, Storm Eagle, Tunnel Rhino, Dark Necrobat, Cyber Peacock, and Magma Dragoon." Colonel said reading off the datapad.
"If Dragoon is involved, then he will no doubt attempt to destabilize our relations witht he humans. Have you contacted the human governments?" The Genaral asked.
"Yes sir, and all of them denyed a request for a special forces team to hunt for the Mavericks. But the humans have an all net society. How could they possibly fight them?" Colonel asked.
"Cyber Peacock was working on a way to hackinto the human internet systems when he was caught. And Dark Necrobat was also working on a way to allow them to enter the cyber realm. They are looking for something. Adn whatever they find, it will spell doom for both the humans and us. I just prey they can find the Mavericks before it's to late." The General said.
The Colonel couldn't agree more.
Elsewhere...
Lan had just finished putting his clothes in a hamper when his computer began flashing. Lan ran over to the computer and it was a video chat request. Lan accepted it and Dex appeared on screen.
"Hey buddy. Glad to see you doing something productive." Dex said with a smile.
"Yeah don't worry man, I'll try and keep it clean from now on. Whats up?" Lan asked.
"Well, Nothing much going on. Ya wanna hit Net City tomorrow after school?" Dex asked.
"Nah, gotta do homework. Somehow I got my mom in a good mood and I want to keep it that way." Lan said. Dex smiled and nodded.
The pair spent a few hours discussign the days activities, but when Lan mentioned Gordon, things got interesting.
"Hah, the Officials are still trying to recrruit ya? Jeez, when will they learn no means no." Dex said giving a hearty laugh.
"Yeah, but this guy seemed different. I kinda trust the guy. But hey, it's late. I gotta go to bed. Don't want to be late tomorrow." Lan understood and the connection was severed.
Lan sretched and looked out the window to Mayl's house. Her light was off and she was probably asleep.
"Sweet dreams." Lan said changing and going to bed.
AN: Ok, so. I decided to set up the plot better than i did last tiem i wrote this. And if anyone wonders, the Gordon charachter will not be a Gary Stu, he will be a charachter that can be hurt. I do make him a new major charachter, but he is just as flawed as Lan, if not more. Dex will get a bigger role and so will Yai. I migth bring back World Three, but i duno. Hope you guys enjoy reading.
