Me: Here it is! The 11th chapter!
Lan: About time! I'm going to enjoy kicking Chaud's butt!
Chaud: You don't stand a chance, moron.
Lan: Shut it!
Zoey: Here is the 11th chapter.
Chapter 11: The Big Blackout and Lan VS Chaud
Our heroes first stop by the Waterworks, they meet Froid. He wanted to thank them for saving his son, so he gave them an item that the WWW gave him when they kidnap his son, a WWW Pin, with it, Lan and MegaMan can use it to open the areas that the WWW locked to get the items they have, and an IceMan chip. Lan and the Mew Mews then head for the lobby, once they got there; they were shocked to see Chaud in the lobby.
"…You kids again? What are you doing in the SciLab? This is no place for little boys and girls to play games!" Chaud scowled at them. "Just because five of us are kids, except for Renee doesn't mean you can push us around!" Lan countered.
"Yeah! Yeah!" MegaMan agreed.
"Hmph… Noisy little brats… I don't have time to deal with you now… Later, brats." Chaud said coldly as he left the lobby. "That guy burns me up!" Lan said angrily.
"Lan, calm down. Let's wait for your dad." Bridget told him. Lan calm downed, they waited a few minutes, then a man with brown hair, wearing a brown shirt with the same symbol on Lan's bandanna and MegaMan, glasses, and black pants came up to the lobby. Lan recognizes him, and his eyes widen in happiness.
"Lan! It's Dad! Your dad's here!" MegaMan said happily.
"Lan, did you wait long? You're looking fit as a fiddle!" Dr. Hikari smiled. "Dad!" Lan shouted happily and gave him a hug. The Mew Mews couldn't help but smile at the father and son.
"By the way, Lan, who are your friends? Never seen them before." Dr. Hikari asked. "I'm Zoey Hanson." "I'm Corina." "My name is Bridget Verdant." "Kikki is my name." "Renee Roberts." The Mew Mews introduced themselves. "Yeah, they're from another town and they are living with us for some time now." Lan explained. "Well, it's very nice to meet you, Zoey, Corina, Bridget, Kikki, and Renee. By the way, where's your mom, Lan?" Dr. Hikari asked. "She's coming, she just have to get dressed." Lan told him. "Hahaha! Well, that'll take awhile, if I know your mother." Dr. Hikari said with a smile.
2 minutes later, Lan's mom appeared wearing a dress. "Sorry! Here I am, Honey. How have you been? Are you keeping well? …Well, you seem good enough. Let's go downstairs to the restaurant floor and eat." Mrs. Hikari said.
(At the restaurant floor)
Lan and the Mew Mews were checking out the restaurant floor, Kikki was eating some food, Zoey, Corina and Bridget were talking, Renee was looking at Chaud with hearts in her eyes, (O.O) And Lan jacked into a PET that is recycled from plastics and got a HPMemory upgrade for MegaMan, soon, Lan and the Mew Mews head back to the table where Lan's parents are sitting.
"It's been awhile since we've talked, Lan. Actually, there is something I've been meaning to ask you." Dr. Hikari said in a serious tone. "Dr. Hikari, before you ask Lan, can we show you something? You might be interested." Zoey asked. Zoey and her friends showed Dr. Hikari the Marks of S on their hands. "Those marks…" Dr. Hikari said in wonder. "I'm sorry, but I don't know the information on those marks. But I'll search for information on them. I promise." Dr. Hikari said. "Ok, dad, what is it you want to tell me?" Lan asked.
"Well, it's about my research…" Dr. Hikari said in his serious tone. "Sounds difficult! How would I know about that?" Lan asked in curiosity. "Well, it's connected to you and MegaMan. See, I made your PET. It's different from normal ones. And MegaMan too…" Before Dr. Hikari can start, the intercom came on and page Dr. Hikari to report to the Lab immediately.
"Whoops! I'm sorry; it looks like I have to go! Lan, we'll finish where we left off next time." Dr. Hikari said as he left. "G-good luck, Dad! …So much for dinner together…" Lan said sadly. What is it that his dad is trying to say? "Cheer up, Lan; your dad will have dinner with us again when he has time." Renee cheered Lan up. "You're right, for now; let's have a good time tonight." Lan said with a smile.
Seconds later, the host appeared.
"Everyone, thank you for waiting. We'd like you to welcome our speaker for the evening." The host said as everyone clapped. Then Count Zap entered.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming here. For our… WWW Party of Death!!!" Count Zap shouted evilly, everyone gasped. "He's no speaker, he's a WWW Agent!" Zoey shouted. "We'd like you to know that the WWW has just taken over the underground power plant! So, let's get this party started with a little… No, a really big… blackout!! ElecMan! Zap to it!" Count Zap shouted evilly again as the lights are turned off.
"A blackout!? Oh no! The air vents have stopped! If we don't fix them, the air will run out and…" a person gulped.
"Now, just relax and enjoy your last breaths!" Count Zap laughed evilly as he walked out, his bulbs flashed as he left.
"We got to get the power plant back up and running!" Bridget shouted.
"Lan, let's go!" MegaMan shouted.
"Easy for you to say! Its pitch dark in here! …Wait, my eyes are adjusting… I can see a little. How about you guys?" Lan asked the Mew Mews.
"We can see just fine." Zoey replied.
"Good, let's go!" Lan shouted.
Lan and the Mew Mews headed out of the restaurant, they try the elevator, but it wouldn't work, Bridget suggested the chute that leads to the power plant, the heroes took the chute down to the power plant. They came across a guy trying to open the door to the power generator, then they met a scientist trying to open the door to the control room, they went back to the first man and he told them the control room is open, the heroes enter the control room, inside, Lan found a place to jack in.
"Ok, Jack in! MegaMan.EXE, transmit!" Before Lan can jack in as well as the Mew Mews, the scientist stops them.
"Waaaait!! You wanna delete your Navi? Jacking in now is suicide! If the power's out here, it's out in the Net, too! If you jack in now, your PET's battery will run out quick! And… if your PET's battery runs out while you're in… The energy sent to your Navi is cut off completely… and your Navi won't be able to heal himself! And it will be a matter of time before your Navi gets deleted!" The scientist said in a serious tone.
"You serious!? …What should I do!?" Lan shouted panicky.
"Lan, let's go!" MegaMan said bravely.
"What are you saying MegaMan!? You might get deleted." Lan shouted in shock.
"We have to take that chance Lan, all we have to do is defeat the WWW Navi and jack out." Zoey said in confidence.
"B-but…" Before Lan started to protest, MegaMan interrupted him.
"If we don't, there's a chance that your mom and every other person in that floor will die! And I think you're a good enough operator to do it!" MegaMan said in confidence.
"You're right; we got to do this for my mom and everyone! Hey, you may want to close your eyes." Lan told the scientist, the scientist was confused, but he closed his eyes.
"Jack in! MegaMan.EXE, transmit!" Lan shouted holding out his PET.
"Jack in! Marks of S!!" The Mew Mews shouted, seconds later, the Mews were gone.
"Whoa!" MegaMan shouted.
"What is it MegaMan!?" Lan shouted worriedly.
"There's some heavy protection on this thing, but no problem! I'll break through." He does so. "Ok, I'm in!"
MegaMan and the Mew Mews are in an almost dark area.
"I can almost not see in this area." Kikki said.
"Ok, I display the PET's battery bar, be sure to find that WWW Navi fast!" MegaMan said. "Got it!" Lan said. MegaMan and the Mew Mews started their way; they ran into Mr. Progs that told them that they need to place batteries in the right sockets to get through, and invisible paths that they can feel. One of the Mr. Progs gave them batteries and they also told our heroes that one of them can recharge the batteries should they be out of power, our heroes continued their way, they came across the sockets that the Mr. Prog mention earlier, after hard thinking, they place the batteries in the right sockets and they continued their way. Along the way, they battle new viruses, one of which is a Mr. Prog damaged and turned into a virus, our heroes deleted them and Lan got 2 new Battle Chips. It took them 2 hours to get through this challenging Cyberworld, they were placing batteries in the right sockets and it confuses them, but after making it to the final Cyberworld area and placing the batteries in the final and right sockets, the colorful path leads to the power generator section. "Lan! The door to the power room should be open now! Quick! Go get that generator running!" MegaMan said.
"Roger!" Lan said as he headed into the power room, inside he saw something strange. "Huh? The lights are on in this room…" Lan said confusedly as he head towards the switch and he is shocked to see it bursting with electricity.
"What the?! The generator… is working!? Then why's the power out?" Lan got out his PET. "MegaMan! Check out the power generator area again!" Lan said. "Got it! Let's go everyone!" MegaMan said, the Mew Mews nodded as they head to the power generator area where they encountered ElecMan.
"Who are you? NetBattlers? Hrmp… You did good coming this far, but you're too late… I just finished downloading the electricity program!" ElecMan said evilly.
"Huh?" Zoey said confusedly.
"ElecMan! It seems they're not Official NetBattlers, delete them!" Count Zap ordered.
"Roger! Those who get in our way gets… Zapped!" ElecMan said as he fired a thunder bolt at our heroes, they dodge it. "Tambourine Trench!" Kikki shouted as she launches her attack at ElecMan, but as the attack hit him, it didn't even finch him! "What?!" Kikki shouted in shock, MegaMan fired his MegaBuster at ElecMan, but like Kikki's attack, it didn't finch him. "Our attacks aren't working?!" MegaMan said in shocked.
"Hehehe! Electricity is my power! As long as there's power generated, I can't be stopped!" ElecMan said evilly.
"What!?" Zoey said in shock.
"Zapped!" ElecMan shouted as he zapped our heroes, they screamed in agony.
"MegaMan!! Girls!! …Oh no! What can I do?!" Lan said in panic, then he notices the switch.
"OK! Let's stop that generator! That'll keep ElecMan from healing! Its risky… but here goes!" Lan shouted as he grabs the switch, he is zapped, but he is able to pull the switch down.
"And stay down!" Lan shouted as he pulled down the switch and was no longer zapped.
Back in Cyberworld, ElecMan was no longer invincible. And our heroes were no longer zapped.
"WHAT?!?!" Count Zap yelled.
"W-What!? What have you done to the generator?" ElecMan said in anger.
"MegaMan! Now's your chance!" Lan shouted.
"Ok!" MegaMan nodded.
(MegaMan.EXE and the Mew Mews V.S. ElecMan.EXE)
"Its payback time ElecMan!" Kikki shouted as she launches her Tambourine Trench at ElecMan, this time it damaged him. "Why you!" ElecMan shouted as he fired his thunder bolts at our heroes, but they dodge them. "Silver Slash!" Renee shouted as she launches her attack, damaging ElecMan a little bit. ElecMan fired his thunder bolts at MegaMan, he dodged them, MegaMan fired a charged MegaBuster shot at ElecMan, damaging him greatly, he was getting weaker. "Let's finished this! WideSword! Battle Chip! Slot-in!" Lan shouted as he inserted the WideSword Battle Chip, MegaMan's left arm was replaced by the WideSword and he rushed to ElecMan and slashed him, thus defeating him.
"This… This can't be happening! But I've already sent the program to Count Zap! Now we have all programs! You're done for!!" ElecMan screamed as hee exploded. Suddenly, ProtoMan jacked in, and he doesn't look too happy.
"Darn… Too late… It took too long to break the jack in protection…" ProtoMan said coldly.
"ProtoMan?!" Bridget said in surprise.
"Hump… Not a shred of data left, either… I was just about to get the WWW server location out of ElecMan's memory data. If you fools hadn't got in the way, our plan to lure in the WWW with fake would have succeeded." ProtoMan pointed out.
"Fake data? Then this was all…" Before Lan can figure it out, Chaud interrupts him.
"You have interfered for the last time! ProtoMan, start deleting that blue NetNavi first, then those five girls." Chaud ordered.
"As you wish, Lord Chaud." ProtoMan obeyed, brandishing his sword.
"We don't have time for this! We have to get the power up and running!" Zoey protested.
"I don't think he'll listen, let me handle this." MegaMan said as his WideSword reverted back to his left arm.
"Are you ready?" ProtoMan asked, MegaMan nodded and got into his fighter stance.
(MegaMan.EXE V.S. ProtoMan.EXE, Song : Dreams of a Absolution: Remixed)
"Prepare to be deleted!" ProtoMan shouted as he slashes his sword at MegaMan, but he dodges it, MegaMan fired his MegaBuster at ProtoMan, but he blocks it with his shield. "Nice try, amateur, you'll have to come up with something better than that!" ProtoMan shouted as he slashes MegaMan again, but he dodges it. 'He's right, I got to come up with a better tactic.' MegaMan thought to himself.
(And every night, I lay awake)
(I find the conclusion)
(And every night, it just stays the same)
(I dream of absolution)
In the night-light, do you see what you dream
All your troubles, are they all what they seem
Look around you, then you may realize
All the preachers, all with their lies
And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past
Only you know if you'll be together
Only you know if we shall last
(In the night-light)
In the night-light, do you still feel your pain
For the valor you wait; it never came
If you were able, would you go change the past
To mend a faux paux with one last chance
And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past
Only you know if you'll be together
Tonight

MegaMan thought of something, he waited until ProtoMan came up close and before he can attack, MegaMan punches him. "Hump! Wise thinking for an amateur!" ProtoMan shouted as he slashes MegaMan, he got hit a little bit. "Sword! WideSword! Battle Chips! Slot-in!" Lan yelled out as he inserted the chips. MegaMan's arms were replaced with the two swords. "WideSword! Battle Chip! Slot-in!" Chaud yelled out as he also inserted a WideSword chip, now ProtoMan now has two swords. MegaMan and ProtoMan rushed towards each other, and clashed swords.
'Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
'Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream of an absolution
'Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same
In my dream of an absolution
(In the night-light)
In the night-light, do you see what you dream
All your triumph and all you'll ever be
Look around you, then you may realize
Happiness lies trapped in misery
And who knows what of our future
We can all try to change the past
Only you know if you'll be together
Tonight
ProtoMan clash his swords rapidly while MegaMan defend and tries to keep his balance, after a few seconds, MegaMan push ProtoMan backed and slashed him two times. ProtoMan weakly got up, he scowled in fury. "Time to end this! Long Sword! Battle Chip! Slot-in! Program Advance! Life Sword!" Lan shouted as he inserted the Long Sword chip, MegaMan put his swords together and they emitted a purple energy blade. "You're not the only one who can master the Program Advances!! Long Sword! Battle Chip! Slot-in! Life Sword! Program Advance!" Chaud shouted as he inserted his own Long Sword chip, ProtoMan put his swords together and emitted a purple blade as well. MegaMan and ProtoMan rushed towards each other yelling out their battle cry and clash swords, a huge explosion was created and the Mew Mews watch in shock and hope that MegaMan survives.

After the explosion cleared, the smoke cleared and it turns out MegaMan was the victor. Zoey rushes toward him with tears and hugs him, her eyes close with tears. MegaMan blushed as Zoey help him up. ProtoMan got up, but couldn't believe he lost to an amateur. Chaud couldn't believe it either.
"How can this be!? A civilian NetNavi beat an Official NetBattler? Never!" ProtoMan said in disbelief.
'My reputation in shambles! I won't forget this lost!' Chaud thought angrily.
"Don't get it? Cause you're an Official Navi, you can carry your own Battle Chips—so you can fight alone!" MegaMan said with concern.
"That's right… And I've fought alone every time! And I've never lost! Never once!" ProtoMan shouted.
"…Cause I'm civilian Navi, I can't fight alone. That's why I've got Lan backing me up! We've come this far together… Because we fight as a team! The better friends you are with your operator… The better you fight!" MegaMan told ProtoMan.
"Friends?" ProtoMan asked. "ProtoMan! Don't listen to their nonsense! Jack out now!" Chaud ordered.
"Wait, please, Lord Chaud!! You're MegaMan… Right? Just tell me one thing… How do you see your operator, This "Lan"? What is he to you?" ProtoMan asked.
"Why… He's my best friend!" MegaMan smiled.
"Friend… Huh… I never thought of that…" ProtoMan said in wonder.
"Let's go, ProtoMan! Jack Out!" Chaud ordered. ProtoMan jacked out.
"Let's hurry and turn on the power." Bridget said.
"OK!" Lan nodded as he turns the power back on. He jacked out MegaMan, the Mew Mews jacked out as well. They soon meet back at the restaurant.
"Lan! Where were you? I…I was so worried!" Mrs. Hikari said in tears as she hugs Lan.
"Sorry, Mom! But we're AOK!"
"Yeah, you got nothing to worry about." Zoey assured her.
Lan then got an email from Dad saying is everyone ok.
"That's my dad, as clueless as ever… "Dear Dad, don't worry, MegaMan is looking after me!"" Lan sent the reply.
"Oh well… I guess the party's over. Shall we go home? Lan? Do you want to stop for something to eat?" Mrs. Hikari asked.
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I haven't eaten since lunch! I'm starving!!" Lan said with a grin.
"I guess you need to recharge too!" MegaMan smiled.
Everyone had a good laugh, but the WWW have all super programs, the Endgame is now starting soon.
To Be Continued…
Me: Whew! Sorry it took me so long to complete this chapter. School was getting to me.
Lan: Now you know how I feel when I overslept.
Me: Anyway, we're getting close to the end! So I'll be working on Saga 2 on the summer.
Lan: Until then, read and review!
P.S.: I'm going to put Beyblade in Saga 5.
