+Chapter II: I Hate Substitute Teachers…+
"Lan! Not again! Watch, your gonna be late! Geez it's a track record!" MegaMan kept yelling from across the room, as Lan, the same as ever, was almost impossible to wake up. After that another 20 minutes passed and Lan finnaly woke up. MegaMan rolled his eyes. "You know, you would'nt have to rush so much if you would wake up faster in the mornings."
"Gee, thanks. I feel soooo much better now!" MegaMan laughed. "Oh well." Lan hurried and got dressed and ran downstairs into the kitchen. He did'nt have time to spare as breakfast was not even ready yet. He went ahead and went outside. When Lan got outside of his house he dashed for the school. When he was around 25 yards away he heard the bell ring. "Shoot! I'm late!" He dashed for the school entrance, and went inside. He walked through the hall's quietly and arrived at his classroom. Instead of using the front door he opened the noisless, back door and stepped into the class. He tip-toed all the way to his seat and sat down. "Whew" he wiped a small drop of sweat from his forhead.
But there was something different. Mrs. Miyu was not at her desk. Instead there was a man. A Brown hair tall man, with round glasses. He also talked weird. "Your teahcer, huh, Mrs. Miyu, is sick, huh. Soooo I'll be teaching your class today, huh." Lan had weird thoughts about this man as why did he say ''huh'' after so many words. "My name is Mr. Higsby!" Mr. Higsby, looked at his desk and looked up. "Now I want you all to do math drills!" Lan sighed at this thought as he hated math. So did pretty much evreyone else in the classroom. Mr. Higsby finnaly took a trip out of the room for a few minutes. Dex being a brave kid, jumped up, ran to the teahcer's desk and copied all of the answers. He told them to pretty much evreyone else in the room. 10 minutes later Mr. Higsby returned to the classroom. "Now, huh, I want all of you to transport your Navi's into the Net. Lan smiled. Now this was a ''subject'' he liked. The class did so. So did Mr. Higsby. Noone noticed but Mayl. But Mr. Higsby left the room after doing so. She wondered why…
"Warning! Warning! Warning!" The computerized blackboard flashed "Warning!" over and over. Then suddenly on the net, the entire class's Navi's were all blasted down by mysterious spheres with a random number on them. Lan looked on. "MegaMan! Are you ok!?" MegaMan stood up and shook his head. "I'm fine…but it looks like the other Navi's have lost suffcient data!" Lan looked on hopelessly. "Find the main computer area for the school! Maybe something is there!" MegaMan nodded in agreedment.
MegaMan took off down a narrow path of the Network. Before MegaMan could even get far, he was attacked by 2 dash viruses. They dashed through MegaMan. He was taken by surprise as they circled around and hit him in his back. He jumped up and landed on one of them as it dashed forward. The other one heading for MegaMan flew at high speeds. MegaMan jumped at the last second and they collided behind him. He contiued on a straightforward course, Then he came to a branch Pathway. "MegaMan! Go left! So far the Network seems to be designed like the school Halls!" MegaMan nodded at Lan's idea.
He continued on and was stopped suddenly. A strong electrical surge filled his body. He could'nt move as his body was paralyzed by the shock. "Lan…I c-can't move. Do something!" Lan looked on, and ran off. He ran out of his classroom and down the hall, down to the first floor. He ran past a door and he was knocked down my Mr. Higsby! "Oh. Sorry, huh!" Lan shook his head and stood back up. Suspiciously he ran into the room where Mr. Higsby ran out of. He saw a computer that had frozen from data corruption. "I bet this is causing a block in the Network!" He cleared the computer and looked at his PET. MegaMan started moving again. "Thanks Lan!" Lan nodded and MegaMan continued on. He ran past and ignored the Metool's and other small viruses. He finnaly was stopped by a laser gate. "Lan! There's a password required! How many desk are in room 5A? Lan thought for a second. "Uh. 15!" MegaMan entered the code and the door opened. He continued on only to run into a door again. "Lan! How many books are under H-J?" Lan ran out of the classroom and headed for the library. He went to the computer and counted. "Uh…there's 26!" MegaMan entered the password and once again continued on. He came to another door. "Lan I can see a Navi ahead!! But there's no hint for a password!?" Lan looked confused "Uh. Lets try anything!" MegaMan started entering random numbers between 1-99. After about 12 tries he got it right at 57. "MegaMan you got it. Now find out who that Navi is!" MegaMan walked forward and the Navi came into the light. MegaMan looked at the sorta tall, odd, circiut looking navi. "Who are you?!" The Navi looked at MegaMan through a glass like head. "I am NumberMan! And I am the one who is spreading the virus throughout the Network! And I have already sent what I need! Now the children will all be hypnotized into performing NetCrimes! MegaMan looked at him, with angry eyes. "I can't forgive you! I'll stop you!" MegaMan ran forward at him sliding behind him, and firing with his MegaBuster. NumberMan threw a green sphere with a 12 on it. As MegaMan's shots hit it it dropped down to 7. Finnaly MegaMan backed away a little as NumberMan threw 3 Spheres at him with a 12, 7, and a 24 on them. MegaMan was hit by 1 of them and he fell to one knee. "those spheres pack a wallop! I just lost 20% of my data because of them!" Lan looked on wondering how to stop it. "MegaMan! Shoot them! Evreytime you do the number drops…maybe when it hits zero it will explode!" MegaMan nodded and fired the one coming at him. He fired at it and when it dropped to Zero it exploded mid-air. NumberMan started getting angry. He threw another one and MegaMan hit it with a HiCannon blowing it up in his face. "You think you have me all figured out huh!?" NumberMan threw his hands up and a dice fell on MegaMan. When it hit it blew up. "Lan! This is new! I already just lost 50% from those die!" Lan looked on hopelessly. "I know. One more and you'll be…" NumberMan threw his hands up and a TimeBomb appeared with a 3 on it…then a 2. "MegaMan use these 2 chips!" The TimeBomb hit 0 and it exploded. The smoke cleared, and MegaMan was still standing…and a small blue barrier could be seen fading. Lan's plan was to use a barrier at the last second. MegaMan's MegaBuster, turned into what looked like something that resembled FireMan's arm. MegaMan kept running and held it up and fired a strong force of fire at NumberMan. It hit him directly, and a giant explosion occurred, filling the School Network with smoke…
