Chapter 7: Search for Info: ColorMan Returns

The next day, Lan and the others woke up, Lan checked on his PET.

"Good morning, Lan. How'd you and the others sleep?" MegaMan asked.

"Yo! MegaMan, it sounds like you're feeling much better!" Lan smiled.

"Told ya MegaMan will be alright." Hinagiku said.

"By the way, Lan, you got two new emails." MegaMan said.

Lan read the one from Mayl. "Thanks for your awesome help, Lan! You are the greatest! In all the commotion, I forgot to withdraw my money… I kinda don't want to go near bank for awhile, if you know what I mean. –Love you, Mayl." Lan blushed, he's glad that Mayl is ok; he also got an upgrade of Roll's Navi Chip.

Lan read the second one, this time; it doesn't have a name, like the email from S. "Nice to meet you. I'm QuickMan's operator. Thanks for stopping QuickMan's rampage. I have to stay hidden, but I'd still like to thank you. Here is QuickMan's Navi chip, I'm sure it'll come in handy someday. Signed, a friend." Lan was confused, but he got the QuickMan Navi chip.

Suddenly, Lan's PET ranged. "Lan! It's a call from your dad!" MegaMan said.

Lan answered it. "Dad! Did you make the vaccine?"

"Lan, you're awake already…?" Dr. Hikari asked.

"Yeah, of course! Ah, Dad… Have you been working all night again?" Lan asked.

"Ah, yes… It's been rough going. It'll take a bit longer to develop it." Dr. Hikari said.

"Is that really tough?" Bridget asked.

"Yes, the Navi hacking program is very closely linked to the Zero Virus. Since we have almost no info about the Zero Virus, there's little we can do. The Officials are even offering a reward for info about the Zero Virus." Dr. Hikari explained.

"Alright! A reward! I wonder what the reward is." Momoko asked dreamily.

Suddenly, Chaud came on the screen on Lan's PET.

"Sorry Lan, but this one is way out of your league…" Chaud said coldly.

"What the?! Chaud?!" Lan shouted angrily and surprised at the same time.

"Who are you?!" Momoko shouted, furious as well.

"Hmph! You must be the two groups of girls that appeared in our world due to S, am I correct? Still, Lan, do not go looking for the Zero Virus, do you want to get your brother deleted?" Chaud said in a cold tone.

"But…" Before Lan can answer, ProtoMan answered for him.

"Sorry, MegaMan, but I agree with Chaud." ProtoMan said as he came on a screen besides Chaud.

"ProtoMan…" MegaMan said softly.

"What are you talking about?" Hinagiku said with a little bit of anger. She doesn't like this guy already.

"You mean Lan and his friends didn't tell you? Let Lan do the talking. The WWW's plans have simply taken a different form…" Chaud said grimly.

"What?!" Lan yelled, he couldn't believe what he is hearing.

"Anyway, you better stay out of trouble, Lan. Good bye, Dr. Hikari." Chaud said as he hung up.

"That jerk!" Lan gritted his teeth angrily.

"Um… Lan? I have to get back to my research. I'll contact you again, so stay out of trouble." Dr. Hikari said as he hung up.

"Lan, why did that guy said your brother?" Yuri asked confusedly.

Lan sighed, there's no way to get out of this now so he has to tell them.

"Well… MegaMan is more than my NetNavi… He's… my brother." Lan said grimly, the Sailor Scouts and Love Angels gasped.

"But… How?" Amara asked in confusion.

Lan explained everything about his brother, Hub who has a fatal disease and Dr. Hikari used Hub's DNA to create MegaMan. The two groups were sad to see how one boy lost his life and is reborn as a NetNavi.

"That's why I feel a human soul in MegaMan. I'm sorry you have to go through that, MegaMan." Trista said with sadness.

MegaMan smiled. "It's alright. I'm happy with the way I am. Now we got to search for info about the Zero Virus."

Lan smiled also. "Yeah! We need to cure GutsMan and the others.

"Let's start by looking for information about the Zero Virus." Bridget suggested.

Suddenly, Lan's PET started beeping. "Lan! You got two emails!" MegaMan pointed out as he brought up the two emails.

Lan read the first one, it's from Dex. "Yo, Lan. I just heard a really strange rumor. It's about that arcade in the next town over, which you can get to by bus… Some nasty Navi has invaded the game chassis Cyberworld. The rumor is that Navi has something to do with the WWW! The WWW might be up to something again… be careful!" Lan rubbed his chin in thought.

Lan read the second email, odd thing is, there's no name on it. "You know the abandon where you get on the Metroline from ACDC St.? Deep inside that plant's Cyberworld is where the Zero Virus data is, supposedly. The Center is offering a reward, so why don't you check it out? From your biggest fan." Lan has a question mark above his head.

"Strange, I never heard of a fan of yours, Lan." Renee said suspiciously.

"Still, you can't doubt an email. Let's check out the arcade first, then the power plant." Lan suggested as he left his room, the others follow.

The group took the bus to the arcade in the next town, Lan found a place to jack in, while the Mews and the two groups found a place to jack in without anyone looking.

When MegaMan and the Mews along with the two groups materialized in, MegaMan and the Mews recognized a Navi they thought they'll never see again.

"Lan! That Navi over there!" MegaMan pointed to the Navi, it was ColorMan!

"All righty, who should I play a joke on today…? Hmm, maybe I'll just set the difficulty setting on that game way up… Or maybe I'll set that couple's game to not to count the coins?" ColorMan giggled to himself.

"Who's this clown?" Hinagiku asked in disgust as she got into her battle stance.

"That's ColorMan. He's an ex-WWW member, but I wonder what's he doing here?" Lan asked in confusion.

ColorMan turned around and his eyes widen in fear.

"Huh? No! MegaMan! You found me! Time to go!" ColorMan yelled in fear as he rolled away.

"Hey stop!" Momoko bought out her rifle and shoots at ColorMan, but he got away.

"Shoot! He ran away!" Lan pouted.

"That means he's hiding something from us and he doesn't want us to find out!" MegaMan clenched his fists.

"I agree! Chaud was talking about some WWW plot, too… Everyone, we've gotta follow ColorMan! There might be a clue!" Lan shouted with determination.

"Let's do this!" Zoey punched her fists together.

The heroes begin their trek down the arcade computer; they came across two security cubes that require two codes, Fire and Aqua to be open. So they check the area, busting some viruses that got in their way. Eventually they got the two codes and made it to the teleporter to the next area.

In the next area, they have to jump on bouncing balls to get across. This was no problem for Momoko and her friends since they can fly. Eventually they made it to the teleporter where ColorMan is and enter it to confront ColorMan.

ColorMan looked around to see if the coast is clear, but he was dead wrong.

"ColorMan!" MegaMan's voice shouted, ColorMan jumped in fright as he slowly turns around and his eyes widen in shock to see MegaMan and his crew ready for battle.

"The jigs up, ColorMan!" Zoey shouted as she got out her Rose Bell.

"I should have known I couldn't shook you guys! And who are those two groups of girls with you?!" ColorMan shouted angrily.

"Alright ColorMan! What are you planning?!" Lan demanded from his screen.

"…Heh. Since I can't shake you, I might as well get my revenge for last time! I've had a few upgrades of my own since we last met!" ColorMan shouted as he got into his battle stance.

"Bring it on! MegaMan! Battle routine, set!" Lan yelled out as he got out his Battle Chips.

"Execute!" MegaMan yelled out as his left arm transforms into his MegaBuster. Zoey, Bridget, Momoko and Hinagiku got into their battle stances.

(MegaMan.EXE, Zoey, Bridget, Wedding Peach and Angel Daisy VS ColorMan.EXE)

"Take this!" ColorMan yelled out as he rolled his ball at them, but they dodge it easily. Hinagiku gave ColorMan the taunting look that angers ColorMan. "Why you! Take that!" ColorMan yelled out as he summons a Fire Tower, but like before, MegaMan, Zoey, Bridget, Momoko and Hinagiku dodged it. "Here's a taste of your own medicine!" Momoko yelled out as she brought out her gun and fired it at ColorMan, damaging him a bit. "Yeow! That hurt!" ColorMan yelled out in pain as he holds his chest. "So does this! Saint Rolling Boomerang!" Hinagiku yelled out as she launches her twin boomerangs at ColorMan; it damaged him a little more. Zoey and Bridget combine their attacks to hit ColorMan dead on. ColorMan was getting weaker, MegaMan charged up his MegaBuster and fired it at ColorMan, the impact hit ColorMan so great, he was sent flying into a wall, thus ending the battle.

"Well, ColorMan! How do you like them apples?" MegaMan shouted as he aims his MegaBuster at ColorMan to see if he tries anything funny.

"Ooohh… All right… Sorry for messing around with the arcade already! Lately, Madd has been totally ignoring me, so I got bored…" ColorMan groaned as he rubbed his head.

"Madd? Isn't that the ugly woman we met before?" Corina asked as she crossed her arms.

"Yeah. So give me a break already, OK?" ColorMan groaned again.

"So you don't have anything to do with the WWW or the Zero Virus?" Lan asked, hoping he can give any info on either one.

"The WWW is gone already, isn't it? And Zero Virus? What's that? Never heard of it." ColorMan sighed.

"Shoot… We've been barking up the wrong tree…" Hinagiku pouted as she frowned.

"Let's try that place the other email mention once we get back home." Lan suggested, MegaMan, the Mews and the two groups nodded as they jacked out.

ColorMan doesn't know anything about the Zero Virus, but what secrets do the abandon power plant hold?
