Part 1: Chapter 1; Beginning of Heroes

"Look at those beautiful faces," says a nurse, holding the newborn twins,"what are you going to name these sweet little angels?"
"I don't know, me and my husband were going to choose together, but now…" replies the mother, choking back sobs, "but now, I guess I'll name them myself: Vent and Aile, one for his father, one for her mother."
"That's beautiful," says the doctor, entering the room after finding a nurse and telling her to bring an extra bed, for they had not expected twins, "Anyways, the beds for the kiddos should be here shortly."

"Oh, Yuichiro, will our little Hub be okay?" asked Haruka Hikari, holding a small child no more than a year old.
"There's a good possibility, with all these life preservation systems connected to him," answered Yuichiro Hikari, looking over another child of the same age, this one connected to many machines, including a cardiogram.
"Thank goodness," says Haruka, sighing in relief.
Meanwhile…
"So… Yuichiro has a child," said a Navi with black armor, a purple gem on his forehead, and something that could only be described as fins on the back of his head, "Hmmm."
The Navi smirked, seeing that some of the child's DNA was being turned into Data and being formatted into the shape of a NetNavi. Sitting, waiting, Forte (the Navi in black) watched as the Navi formed. After the Navi was completed, Forte did what he had been waiting to do. "Nothing personal, Hikari," Forte said, "I just don't fancy seeing a Navi tossed aside like a broken computer!"
And with that remark, Forte put much of his energy into one blast, hurling it at the life preservation systems.

"Can we ride that one, Mom?" asked a 4-year old Vent, pointing to a Ferris wheel.
"No way, lets ride that one," said his twin sister, Aile, pointing at a roller coaster," it goes a lot faster than a dumb, spinning wheel."
"Oh yeah?" "Yeah!"
As the two bickered, an ape-like Maverick prepared to lead his followers to the same exact Amusement Park. "Ook! Ook! Lord Serpent will be very happy with me," the Maverick, Purprill, said, "when he sees how many Cyber Elves I can make in one day! Ha-Ha-Ha! Ook! Ook!"

"Okay, settle down class," said Lan's teacher, Ms. Mari, "settle down, I know this is your very first day at school, but please, try to be a little quieter."
Meanwhile…
"Dr. Wily, please come to the Head Office," says a voice over the intercom at Science Labs.
Head office my behind, thought Dr. Albert Wily, the young whippersnapper in charge of this place couldn't have made it to where he is now without my help.
As he enters the room, Dr. Wily gets a strange feeling in his stomach. A feeling of dread. "Please, sit down," said Dr. Yuichiro Hikari, "now then, I have some good news and some bad news, Dr. Wily. Which would you like to hear first?"
"The good news, please," Wily answered, hoping for Dr. Hikari to say you're not fired.
"The good news is, we finally solved the problem with the Net space you were using, and we fixed it," Yuichiro said, "the bad news is, we also found out about you're little contract with Ameroupe." Dr. Wily flinched. "I'm sorry, Dr. Wily, but you're fired. I know this comes as a blow, but you didn't get the okay for this contract. Goodbye."

"As long as hearts exist, hate will lurk in the shadows," said Serpent, slowly detonating from his lack of energy to control Model W, "those of you who have the Wellspring of Emotion known as the heart…you…you are the true Mavericks!"

"So, this is the heart of a Cyber Beast," said Colonel and Iris, now fused together to make the ultimate NetNavi, "Lan, jack Megaman out before this whole place blows!"
"Okay!" said Lan Hikari, now eleven-years old, "but…what about you? I can't just leave you two here! And I can't leave Baryl behind either!"
"Lan!" spoke Iris' voice alone, "just go, you have more to live for than me or Colonel! Just go!"
"What about Baryl?" Lan asked, "I can't leave him here!"
"Lan…just go," Baryl groans, "don't you remember who I told you I was when we first met? Baryl the Immortal, and I'm still alive even after that explosion. Go!"
As Lan left with Megaman, Dr. Albert Wily looked at the Copybots that once contained the Cyber Beasts Falzer and Grega. "I deserve to die," Dr. Wily said, "but if I don't, I will accept any and all punishments. I…I realize I've done wrong."
"Iris…" Colonel's voice spoke alone.
"It's okay Colonel," Iris replied, "I…I hope Lan has a beautiful future… but I'm a NetNavi…I…I just hope he somehow hears this…I…I love you Lan!"
