Thanks for everyone that reviewed! I'm glad some of you guys like this story. ^_^
Couple things before I start:
-I don't know much about Dr Wily
-I don't know much about Zero from the Megaman X series besides what they tell me in X5 and X6 and a few stories I read on the 'net
-I assume all navis are sentient
-I don't know the teacher's name
-It is important that Megaman not fight the second versions of enemy navis and travel deep in the internet for this story to work well
-I assume that navis can't be cut apart a little at a time, they need to be totally destroyed(can't slice navis arm off or blow hole in them, need to totally destory them) they can still receive damage though
Disclaimer: I don't own Megaman Battle Network.

Mysterious Navi Zero
Chapter 3
Viral Attack!
"My father was,...is Dr Wily and he is dead," Lan gasped at that statement. It wasn't something he expected. Even Megaman made a gasping sound.
"Your Dr. Wily's son?" it was more a statement than a question. Lan sat there, too surprise to even think about moving or going anywhere.
"His last creation before he formed the WWW was Zero, my navi," Bit continued, "his research was shut down shortly after and he became angry."
"Zero? He has a buster cannon like Megaman, is that a coincidence?" Lan blurted out.
"Lan, I want you to leave. Please leave me alone," Bit's voice was barely above a whisper.
"But--"
"Please," Bit interrupted. Lan sighed and turned to leave. He climbed down the stairs and said "bye" to Bit's mom before leaving.
"So..., it's still early, what do you want to do now?" Lan asked his navi.
"Well, I guess we should leave Bit alone for now and let him calm down. Why not work on the project? Your dad might be able to help you. Wanna go visit him?" Megaman suggested.
"Sure," Lan answered. He made his way to the train station, got a ticket, and got in to the train. The train ride was long, giving Lan some time to think. "Is what he said really true? Is Dr. Wiley really dead?" Lan thought out loud.
"It's possible, don't you remember what happend?" Megaman asked.
Flash Back...
"The Life Virus is destroyed," Megaman reported, his tired voice barely above a whisper. The giant green virus exploded, the explosion seeming to ingulf the blue navi. Lan pulled him out of there just in time.
"What have you done?!" Dr. Wily raged. The entire building was rocking wildly, explosions could be heard. The building was going to callapsed, they had to get out.
Lan made a run for the door but saw that Dr. Wily had made no move to escape. "Dr. Wiley, we got to get out!" he shouted to the mad scientist.
"Never!" Dr. Wiley screamed.
"Come'on, the building is coming to collapse!" Lan pleaded. He felt someone grab him from behind, Lan turned around and saw the net battler, Chaud.
"He made his choice, we can't force him to come with us," Chaud said.
"But--" Lan began but was interrupted by Chaud pulling him towards the exit.
"Long live the WWW!" Dr. Wily cackled like the mad scientist he was. Everything in his vision went black. The explosion shook the building violently. Lan and his friends barely made it out on time.
End Flash Back...
"Yes, I remember it all. Maybe he had a hidden escape route?" Lan spoke hopeful. He may had hated Wily's plan to take over the world but he did not wish him death even after all the trouble he caused.
"Maybe," Megaman replied. He sounded doubtful.
"We have arrived at the Government Complex, please come again," a soft voice rang out. Lan got off the train along with a whole bunch of business men. He went inside the large building and straight to his father's office. His father, as usual, was busily typing away on the computer. His eyes were practically glued to the screen.
"Hi Dad!" Lan greeted.
Mr. Hikari turned around at the sound of Lan's familiar voice and smiled at him. "Hi, Lan. Come all this way from ACDC Town just to visit me again?"
"Yeah. Dad, I need help on a proj--" Lan was interrupted by a sudden loud alarm. Scientists ran back and forth with papers in there hands.
"Sorry, Lan but it'll have to wait," Mr. Hikari went to see what was going on. Without his father knowing, Lan followed closely behind him. Mr. Hikari stopped at the elevator and used a key that activated a floor that was not accessible by others. Lan stepped in to the elevator with him. "Lan, this is dangerous," Mr. Hikari started.
"I want to help. You said it yourself, Megaman isn't like any ordinary navi," Lan said. Mr. Hikari sighed and let his son follow him to the top floor of the building. When the door opened, Lan was shocked at what he saw. A large screen was on the far side of the room. The walls were lined with panels with many buttons and switches, some were even computed terminals with small screens. It was like some kind of control center. Scientists scattered about and worked quickly at thier stations.
"We have a class 5 virus, it's taking over the system," a scientist ran up to Mr. Hikari and handed him some papers. He skimmed through them.
"My god! Its readings are off the charts!" Mr. Hikari exclaimed, his expression showing extreme surprise. Lan became worried at that point. But then again, Megaman had taken down the seemingly all-powerful Life virus.
"I'm going to jack in!" Lan said. He ran to the closest empty computer terminal with a jack port.
"Be careful Lan, Hub," Mr. Hikari warned. He went to the computer terminal next to Lan. "I'll send you in close to the virus," he informed them.
"Ok," he nodded, "Jack in! Megaman.EXE, Transmit!" Megaman warped in to an area that looked similiar to the power plant area but all platforms were visible. Also, no batteries seemed to be needed to travel further. The background however, was pulsing an angry red. It must have been the damage the virus caused.
"Zero?" the red navi stood in front of him.
"Megaman, let me handle this," Zero said strangely calm. Before Megaman could get another word out, Zero warped out of the immediate area. Lan scratched his head in confusion.
"Oh well, we got to hurry!" Megaman shrugged. An explosion could be heard ahead.
Ahead of him, the battle had already begun. Many navis of the standard green-yellow, purple, and pink were seen battling viruses that blocked thier way. They were going in one general direction. Megaman jumped in to the battle himself, blasting away a red met tool with a charged buster shot. Soon, the battle was over and they all followed the path, Megaman near the back of the small army. Suddenly, the crowd came to a halting stopped. Megaman ran in to the navi in front of him and quickly muttered an apology.
A black navi stood in front of them with a dark cape covering most of his body. The yellow marks on his helmet stood out complete with a crystal in the middle of it. But that wasn't what caused the small army to stop. It was what the black navi was standing on. It looked like a giant green robot without legs. It was clear to anyone who saw it before what it was, the Life Virus! But who was the black navi standing on its shoulder?
With an inhuman roar, the Life virus let loose a giant red beam that shot down most of the small army. The black navi standing on the virus's shoulder laughed maniacally at the massacre below him. Megaman rushed in to action immediately with a hero sword in his hands. Lan has given it to him in a hurry.
The black navi seemed to be the one in charge. While the rest of the navis were keeping the virus busy, Megaman jumped straight up to the black navi and attacked. The navi was knocked off his perch by landed on his feet. "You little worm!" he cursed. He concentrated and a force field appeared around him.
"Who are you?" Megaman demanded.
"The navi that will take down the ledgendary Megaman, Bass," the black navi spat. Megaman glared his him and raised his hero sword. "This was just a small display of my power. Next time, I will destroy you and all your friends," the Bass smiled an evil smile.
His arm transformed in to a cannon and he aimed it at the blue navi. Megaman immediately started towards the left. The shot from Bass's cannon exploded the panel Megaman was standing on in blaze of red. The force of the explosion knocked him off his feet. With that brief second, Bass jumped on to Life Virus's shoulder. "I'll be back!" Bass laughed his evil laugh. They teleported away, Bass's voice echoing in his wake.
"We're in deep trouble," Lan stated the obvious.
"What was Zero doing here?" Megaman wondered out loud.

No cliff hangers this time! Aren't you guys glad? ^_^ Please note that I don't know much about Bass, I never fought him in any of the games, not even MMBN so I don't know his personality or attacks. By now, you guys can probably guess what my favorite chip is. Please review! Thanks!
