Yay, another chapter w And the most confusing episode in the entire series I swear. You just can't deicde if it was a dream or not. It probably was, cuz Mama Zap was already dead So I wrote like nothing happened. If you want me to write the imaginary Elecman's view, I'll do.

Don't Mess with Mama Zap

World Three was finished. After The Pharaoman-incident Mr. Wily just disappeared and it meant a death-warrant to us. Especially to Count Zap.

We managed to get some things right after the N1 Grand-Prix. I forgave him as much as I could. Count Zap was in ruins. Psyched out. He went to Kingland, on the way sometimes I had to talk to him for hours to keep him in the real world and stop him from doing stupid things like jump out of the window of the train. It was horrible.

Why did we go to Kingland by the way? The Zap-family had a mansion here where we had grown up together. Too bad the mansion was ruined. 10 years are long time, not to mention there was a fire as well. Count Zap walked in and made a strange move with his hand which I immediately recognized. Back in the past every family member had a card. If they put it into a little machine on the wall near the front door, it would light up all the lamps. He had done the same but there was no card or machine! I paniced. Did my NetOp really go mad? I just hoped the journey tired him out.

He was climbing up on the stairs when suddenly he cried out and fell backwards. I thought he just lost his balance, but when he stopped he said something like "Mama, I'm home". If I had had a heart, it would have skipped a beat.

- Jack… Mama has died. 10 years ago – I whispered more to myself than to him.

He fell asleep. I knew he wouldn't go anywhere soon so I logged into the castle's old but still functioning system for a little nostalgia-trip. Though I knew I won't enjoy it. I knew the net like the back of my hand. I grew up here.

The system was in ruins too. It was deserted. I remember back then it was crowded with viruses and programs that were protecting the castle. I walked around quietly when I got there.

The mansion had a secret that only I knew. I was very young and I was on my usual trip when I saw a hidden corridor. Of course I was curious so I went through. I arrived to a room and there… I was facing with something big and terrifying. I screamed and ran back. I could hear that something behind me. The first person I met was Mama. I started crying and told everything. She calmed me down and made me promise her I'd only tell this when Jack is ready. So I was waiting for the right moment.

Mama died 10 years ago from cancer. But I never broke my promise. The old lady deserved that. The worse the cancer got, the more annoying she was. Jack and I were the disgraces of the family, according to her. But… we were the faithful ones who stayed with her. Not like Jack's older brother. Mama was too old, the cancer weren't helping either. Then… it was finally over.

After the funeral we left Kingland and never returned… until now. "A Zap never gives up." This was Mama's motto and ours too. For more the details: the fights with Megaman. Or with Him.

The Zap-family wasn't a sacred one but that's natural. All the rich families drowned out their rivals so they could rise to power: the Ayano's and Blaze's too. Of course some of them abandoned this behavior but not ours. And you know what? We were proud of it. Not like Them.

I checked on Jack.

- Count Zap? – I asked. He was snoring like a volcano two minutes before eruption. Okay, at least it showed he was still alive.

The storm was getting away. In the distance I spotted out a green bus that was heading toward the Lake Chantra. They say there's some kind of monster there. You know, like in Loch Ness.

Damnit, Jack! Wake up! I was getting impatient.

I had to wait. Meanwhile the sky cleared up again. Finally Jack twitched. He got up slowly.

- What happened? – he asked. I stayed quiet. – Defeated again. I must get up from here and do something.

I had no idea what he was talking about. Maybe he had a dream or something.

- Hey Zappy! What's up? – Maddy appeared behind us. I don't have a clue how she found us. – Yahoot suggested that we all get together. What do you say? You want come with us?

Meanwhile I was attacked by Wackoman, who glomped me and hugged me to death. By the time I managed to free myself, Jack agreed. Rebuilding World Three? Others would have thought we were mad. But that was more than just an organization. It was our family. Even when we argued a lot, we still loved each other. If we had really hated each other, we wouldn't have tried to get together again. Maybe it will be hard… But a Zap never gives up. =)

Too bad it didn't work out the way our NetOps wanted it to, but at least we were together ^^

Opinions anyone?
