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
-I don't know much about Bass
Disclaimer: I don't own Megaman Battle Network.
Chapter 7
Preparations
"That was too easy," Bass mumbled to himself as he lowered his buster cannon under his cape. He looked down at the small group of destroyed security drones.
The background pulsed a dangerous with the occassional burst of electricity. The power plant's computer was being invaded again by the black navi. Along with Bass, he was acompanied by his loyal servant, Pharaohman. Pharaohman resembled the tomb of a mummy with a fancy design. He floated instead of walking like most othe navis.
Meanwhile, Megaman and his friends waited near the end of the maze that was the power plant computers. They were inspecting another invasion from Bass. Out of all of them, Glyde and Megaman were the most patient. Roll was trying to make conversation with everyone to pass the time. Gutsman had resorted to pounding any helpless virus that was wandering by. Iceman was not present at the time, he was working at Water Works.
Replacing the absent Iceman, was the latest addition to the team, Zero. Bit was still very shy, he barely said a word to anyone. He usually only talked to Zero, who assured that everything was going to be fine.
"Are you sure Bass will be here?" Roll asked.
"He attacked an oven and then the Water Works just like the WWW did. All the clues point directly to the Power Plant next," Megaman said.
"Bass is due to attack here at any moment," Zero answered calmly.
"Searching.....searching, I found it, Boss," Pharaohman reported.
"Excellent," Bass grinned and approached the terminal. But before his hands could even touch it, a sharp blast of energy pelted him in the back knocking him over. "Blast it!" Bass cursed as he got and turned to face his enemy.
Zero stood in front of Bass, his buster cannon smoking. Behind him stood his allies, Megaman, Roll, Gutsman, and Glyde. Pharoahman was the first to react by opening his coffin and shooting out a large energy beam. Zero and his friends all scattered to avoid the beam.
Bass attacked the closest person to him, which happend to be Zero. Bass aimed his cannon and shot a blast from his own cannon. Zero leapt aside to avoid the first blast and yet again to avoid another blast. The third blast however got him and sent him sprawling on to the floor.
"Grr...!" Gutsman went at Pharoahman, fists first. Pharoahman was not helpless however and opened his coffin yet again. A large beam shot in the face canceled Gutsman attack and sent him tumbling.
"Argh!" Pharoahman screamed in surprise at the pink sword sticking thorugh his chest. He whirled round to see Protoman, smirking at him as he slashed at him again and again. Pharaohman opened up his coffin for another beam but Protoman dodged out of the way just in time.
"It seems you need my help once again," Chaud said arrogantly.
"Now's not a good time for this. Battle Chip: Shot Gun, slot in!" Lan slid the chip in to his PET.
Megaman raised his new cannon and shot forth a blast of yellow energy. The yellow energy split apart, raining a seemingly endless supply of shots at Pharoahman. Pharaohman countered by calling up two copies of himself out of the ground, one to his right and one to his left. They opened up, letting loose their cargo of rattons. Megaman and his friends scattered but they all got hit because of the rattons' homing abbilities.
"We got to work together to beat him," Megaman said. Lan prepared the Hero, Knight, and Fighter Sword chips for Megaman.
"As much as I dislike the idea, I'm afraid you're right," Protoman said queitly.
"Double Hero!" Protoman and Megaman called out at the same time. The both rushed becoming a blaze of red and blue. They raised their blades and struck Pharaohman, instantly deleting him.
"Cowering behind your sheild?" Bass glared at his opponent. Zero reacted first and shattered his sheild with his sword but before he could attack, he was blasted away from Bass's powerful cannon. Zero was up in a flash and plunged his sword in to Bass's stomach and then kicked Bass away to free his sword again. Bass cursed as the attack sunk in.
"You were prepared for me. No matter, the next time you see me will be your doom!" Bass laughed maniacally as he once again teleported away in a flash of black.
As soon as Bass got away, an e-mail was sent to Lan's pet. Megaman, although a little worn out from the battle, opened it. Lan began to read it out loud: "I purpose a show down at the network of the abandoned chip factory tomorrow. Bring all the little friends you want." it was signed by Bass.
"Bass is a strong navi, we should prepare ourselves as well as our navis," Bit suggested. Everyone agreed and split up for the rest of the day.
Lan dropped his backpack and threw himself on to the bed. His computer, which he had left on, emitted a glow in the dark bedroom. Lan's PET rested next to it. Mrs. Hikari was doing the laundry at the moment.
"Lan, don't you think we should be getting ready for tomorrow?" Megaman asked his operator.
"Don't worry about it, we can beat them easily," Lan said, his voice muffled by the pillows his face rested on.
"Lan! Get up, connect me to the internet," Megaman instructed.
"Ok ok, I'm going...," Lan relunctantly got off the bed and plugged Megaman made his way down the twisting pathways of the internet. Along the way, various viruses attacked but it was nothing a few Buster Cannon shots couldn't handle. But soon, Megaman made it in to the deepest part of the internet, which require a caliber of skill to survive. For the next few hours, Megaman practiced his battle skills.
"Hello, I'm a net merchant, would you like to take a look at what I have to offer?" the green and yellow navi asked.
"Yes, would you please show me the chips you have?" Glyde politely asked.
"Of course," the merchant-navi said and showed him a list.
"What should we get, my lady?" Glyde asked his opearator, Yai. She browsed through the long list of chips, some of the rarer ones caught her eye. Yai's family was rich, her father being the owner of the game making campanu of Gabcom, so Yai could buy the most expensive chips.
"Just the M-Cannon chip, Glyde," Yai pointed it out.
"Yes, m'am," Glyde nodded and bought the rare chip. It appeared on Yai's PET, a picture of a red cannon on it.
"Thank you for shopping here. Please come back for more armor, chips, and power ups," the merchant replied.
"Roll Flash!" Roll attacked with the two ribbons on her helmet, domilishing the virus. "I did it!" Roll cheered happily at her own victory.
"Well done, Roll," Mayl congradulated her. Their celebration was cut short however by another group of viruses. "Look out, here it comes!" she pointed at the golden knight with his flaming sword.
"Heart Flash!" Pink heart-shaped projectiles shot out of Roll's chest and destroyed the lead cirus easily. With that, she made quick work if his two partners, the plain silver knight virus. Roll's training continued without much event.
"Ok, I got it," Dex said. He plugged his PET in to his computer and uploaded the upgrade to Gutsman.
"Guts! Guts!" Gutsman man cheered happily as it loaded.
"With this new upgrade, maybe I can beat Lan himself," Dex grinned at the idea.
