Chapter 1: The beginning.
UNDERGROUND SCIENCE FACILITY, 25 YEARS EARLIER.
A man with messed up white hair and a ruffled lab coat shuffled through his notes, looking for a specific page.
"If I can find that page, then perhaps I could gain enough power to make those fools sorry for calling me crazy" the man said, grabbing the page of paper. Reading the page, he made a few adjustments to a great machine, with two gems attached.
Suddenly, due to a wave of Ying and Yang enegy, the machine hummed to life, sending out pulses of dark and light enegy into the gems. Suddenly with a blinding flash of light, the whole area, for lack of better words, disendigrated due to the great amount of enegy.
The two gems, one red, the other blue, were now attached to oppisite colored bands (the red to a blue one, the blue to a red one) and almost as suddenly as they had been created, vanished without a trace.
Across the world, in the temple of the golden dragon, the golden dragon was talking to Master Chin, when they both felt the surge of power from the two bands creation. "Master Chin, did you feel that?" the gaurdian asked.
"Yes I did old friend, and I fear that this power will have dire effects that we do not know of yet" the master said, pondering on how such a power had been made.
FOREST, AUSTRALIA, PRESENT
A group of teenager walk through a forest, just outside of their school. "Guys should we really be out here?" one, a tall white haired boy, asks.
"Come on Leo, dont tell me your scared of a myth" says another, slightly shorter white haired, boy.
"Some legends have basis in fact Tekki" Leo said, looking around carefully. Tekki had been his best friend ever scince they had met in highschool, however the big diffrence between them was the level of intelligence that Tekki had, it was at genius level (or so Tekki told him, after the tale of Tekki turning a Tamagotchi into an infra red hacking device, Leo belived him)
A third one laughed "C'mon, you saying your chicken Leo?".
As Leo was about to reply he fell through the ground into a underground cavern "ow" he said "so much for the old sinkholes being a myth" he added.
"You ok Leo?" Tekki shouted down into the hole.
Leo looked around "yeah, dont worry I can see a way out" he said, but then looked at the cavern behind him "Listen you guys head back, Im going to look in this cavern" he said, taking a helmet with a flashlight out (you dont want to know why he carries that around with him).
"Ok, we'll meet you near the edge of the forest" a female voice said.
Leo had already started through the cavern, looking around. The cavern looked like it was completely natural, apart from one part which was a stone pedistal. Approaching the pedistal, he noticed a blue band, with a red gem on it "Hmm, this is strange" he said to himself "I may not know much about aboriginal culture, but I know that they didn't make caverns underground" he added "and this thing looks chinese in origin" he added, placing the band on his wrist "well it looks cool" he added.
Taking a closer look at the gem, Leo noticed something weird about the symbol on the gem "Ive seen that symbol before" he said "but where?" he thought for a minute or two, then he got it "Of course" he said "Megaman Battle Network Six, its Falzar's beast out symbol" he cried, then remembered he was talking to himself.
Climbing out of the hole, he noticed that the new exchange student, Yin, was standing outside the hole. Many wouldnt understand why they had become friends, her being quite cruel, him being quite nice. But they had maneged to make a sort of friendship, due to Yin being lonely when she first arrived about a month ago Leo had befriended her, and it somehow worked. "Hey Yin, why did you stay behind?" he asked.
"Someone has to make sure you dont get lost" Yin snapped at him with a little chuckle, not noticing the band.
Leo chuckled "I did see something weird though" he said "it was like a little cavern, but almost like it was naturally made underground".
"Really?" Yin asked, only slightly intrested "anything intresting in there?"
Before he could answer Leo noticed some needle sharp... well claws were flying at him. Ducking down he noticed a man in what he presumed to be a tiger costume, with a green outfit on top, in one of the trees "Idiot what are you doing" Yin snapped at the man.
The costumed man growled back "look, he has a power band".
Finally noticing the band Yin looked at Leo and said "sorry Leo, but hand over the band, or Im going to have to hurt you" she said.
"Oh drop the nice act Yin Wi" another voice said, belonging to a teenage boy, about a year younger than Leo, who jumped out of the trees.
"We all know its fake" said another voice, this one to a teenage girl who seemed to be the boys twin.
Leo was now genuinly scared "Who are you people?" he asked.
"My name is Ang" said the boy.
"And mines Ling" the girl added "we're here to make sure that power band is safe" .
"Enough of this" Yin Wi said "Leo who would you trust, me or them?"
Leo thought for a second when suddenly the man in the tiger costume fired his CLAWS out of his fingers again. Running as fast as he could he started running away, but he did hear these things: "Empower twin golden dragons!"
"Empower the shadow rat!"
As he kept running he noticed the guy in the costume was being followed by what looked like Yin but... with what looked like a rat based outfit. They were both being followed by two figures dressed in red and gold.
As he reached near the edge of the forest he felt himself get tripped up and pinned to the ground. Lookig behind him he saw the tiger costumed (if it WAS a costume, which he was starting to doubt) man starting back at him "Now give me the band!" he shouted at Leo.
As Leo searched for a way to take the band off, he found he couldnt "I cant, its stuck" he said, scared out of his wits.
"Fine then prepare to die!" the man said.
Leo didn't know why he said what he said next, later on he would assume its because his brain figured out that was how he activated the band, or that it was pure dumb luck. However what he did do is shout "Empower the Cybeast FALZAR!".
The transformation was quite scary for all involved, as the cybeast armour maqterialised onto Leo himself (imagine Megaman's falzar beast out costume). As the dust settled from the transformation, Leo glared at all the combatents. Well, it wasnt really Leo, the red eyes he now had were proof of that. Letting out an inhuman screech, he flew into the air, started to spinaround really fast and suddenly let loose a storm of diamond sharp quills. As the four others started firing lasers at the quills, defelecting them, Leo let out a deafening screech and flew off.
Landing back on the ground just outside the forest, he detransformed and stared at his band "What the heck is this thing?" he asked himself, his friends having had left on their bikes. Vaulting onto the bike, he started pedeling home, fully intent to study the power band.
Little did he know of the horrors that awaited him.
