Chapter 4: Alternate World

Lan backed away from the picture.

' Me and Hub, at age 12?' he thought, his heart beating fast in his chest.

" LAN!" His mom shouted up.

" HURRY UP AND GET DOWN HERE FOR SCHOOL!"

" Y-- YES MOM!" He yelled down.

He walked down the stairs to see Hub, amazingly, sitting at the table, finishing some eggs, and his parents standing next to the table.

" See ya later Hubbey!" Maylu giggled sweetly at Hub.

Hub smiled back. "See ya!"

Lan just stood they, his mouth gaping.

' Hubbey?'

" Lan!" His mom yelled, snapping him back to attention.

" Hurry up! It's almost time for school!"

" O--okay..."

He grabbed his bag, and head out the door, Hub close behind him.

-----On the Way to School-----

" Hey, Lan, Something seems wrong, what's up?" Hub asked, being the caring older brother he was.

"Nothing Megaman..." Lan replied thoughtlessly.

" Megaman?" Hub asked arching his brow.

" Er-- I Mean Hub!"

Hub didn't seem convinced.

" Who's Megaman?" He asked forcefully.

Lan sighed, and said, " Okay, this may seem crazy, but just listen..."

Hub nodded.

" Okay, this is not my real..." He paused not knowing what to call it. " My real... time line..."

Hub arched his brow again.

" In my previous timeline, you died, but part of your spirit escaped into me, the other part our dad converted into a Navi--"

" Navi?" Hub asked, intrigued.

" What do you mean, you don't know what a navi is?"

" No, What's a navi?"

" A Navi is a program created by papa."

" No way, he couldn't have enough time!" Hub said amused. " He was too busy being a good father..."

" Shoulda known..." Lan muttered. " Anyway, he converted that part into a navi, which hecalled Megaman..."

" Wow... that's freaking awesome Lan!" Hub said, impressed. " Didja stay up late making that one up?"

Lan got red in the face. " No, It's true, and you're dead, and dad makes bodies for you, and Maylu and I are in love--"

" Whoa, WHoa, now you're hovering over borderline impossible!" Hub chuckled.

" Yeah, I saw,Hubbey" Lan said in a mocking voice, laughing.

" Shut up Lan!"

"But do you beleive me?" Lan pleaded.

" I don't know, you don't have any proof..."

" Wait!" Lan reached into his backpack and found a blue Empty, Battered Plug in PET. He always kept it int his Backpack, after all the years it brought him.

Hub stood in amazement.

" Wh--what is that thing?" Hub said, grabbing it, and examining it.

" That's my proof, a PET, holding a Navi inside it!" Lan had kept a piece of Megaman in Every PET he had had. He might need them as mementos someday to his children.

" This is good enough for me!" Hub said, hitting the power button."

On the the screen, Megaman looked around. " Huh? Lan? Why do you have Green eyes?" Megaman looked at Hub.

" Megaman, over here!" Lan called. Hub turned the PET.

" Whoa! I'm seeing double!" He rubbed his eyes.

" Wait, if dad used part of my sou--" Hub began, but was interupted.

" Stop." Lan said. " Stop talking, we'll worry about it later, now then, NOW do you beleive me?"

Hub only nodded.

-----An Empty Lot in Scilab's Suposed Location-----

A person stood with a PET oddly enough infront of him.

He chuckled.

" Sure, I had to give up my life as a Navi, oh but it was worth it to see Lan Hikari squirm as much as this..."

The man dressed in complete red stepped out of the shadows.

" I'd say it's time to have Thenesis come back to power..."

SUSPENSE!
