Switching Places Disclaimer-I do not own Megaman NT Warrior

Chapter 5
~~~~Real World~~~~ On their way to the WWW Base, both of them didn't spoke a word. Megaman was watching Lan, saw his expression on his face, it was full of worries. He has never seen Lan with that much worries in him, so he asked him

"Lan, are you ok?"

He didn't reply him, so he asked him again "Laaan, hey Lan!"

"What!?" said Lan with confusion. "What... What is it Megaman?"

"Lan, are you ok?" asked Megaman with watery-eyes. He doesn't want Lan to be upset.

"Yeah, I'm just... worried about everybody else, that's all." replied Lan, a bit too quickly. "I don't think Lan's telling the truth, he must be worried about something else." thought Megaman.

"Lan, it there's a problem, you can tell me, OK?" asked Megaman.

"Sure, anything for you, my brother." replied Lan

So when they got to their destination, they walked inside and into the lab. There they found Wily lying on the ground, unconscious. Megaman ran to him and shook him, but he didn't wake up.

"He's still breathing." said Megaman. "But let's carry on."

So they went deeper into the WWW Base until they reached a door. They opened it and what they saw surprised them. Their friends, strapped onto the wall while their PETs were calling out to them, Megaman ran to the PETs and he saw Maylu, Dex, Yai and Chaud.

"Megaman! Are you glad to see you!" said Maylu.

"Yeah, help Gutsman, Roll, Glide and Protoman!" yelled Dex.

"OK." said Megaman. "Jack In, Lan! Power Up!"

~~~~Cyberworld~~~~

"Where could the controls be?" thought Lan, while walking around.

He saw the controls and ran to it. He pushed the button. Then suddenly, something jumped in front of him and grabbed him

"What the....!" said Lan, looking up to see a navi from the Dashers but this time, it's a red navi.

"Hello Lan Hikari." Hissed the red navi in a weird tone of voice.

Lan, now shaking with fear, didn't move a bit. Then.....

~~~~ Real world~~~~

"Lan!" screamed Megaman, with fear.

"Jack In!"

Megaman turned around and saw his friends, free form the wall and able to help him. (since Lan pushed the button before the navi came.)

~~~~Cyberworld~~~~

"Gutspunch!" said Dex. He started to rush to the red navi with a big fist.

"M-Cannon!" yelled Yai, while getting ready to fire.

"Roll arrow!" screamed Maylu, getting ready to aim on the red navi.

"Delta Ray!" said Chaud.

At the same time, they fired their attacks at the red navi. The red navi screamed then disappeared before deletion. After that, they ran to Lan, who was at the corner of the floor and sitting there. They saw Lan with scars around him. Maylu looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Lan, are you ok?"

He didn't reply. He just sat there with fear.

"Lan?" asked Maylu.

"May.... Maylu."

Then Lan started to glow.

"Lan!"

* "Something must be connected to Lan!" said Chaud.

After the glow was over, they saw Lan standing up, for some reason he was not ok.

"Lan?" asked Maylu, curiously.

"Shut up! I'm not the boy you used to know, Maylu." said Lan, which is not him.

"You better be quiet Lan!" hissed Dex. "Stop that, you could hurt her feelings you know!"

"I'M NOT HIM!" exclaimed the stranger.

"What... What do you mean?" asked Yai.

"I'm not the boy called Lan. I'm a different person, I'm...."

Before he can tell them his name, he disappeared from Lan's body. Lan fell unconscious on the ground. His friends picked him up and carried him to some where safe.

~~~~Real World~~~~

"Lan, wake up!" said Megaman.

"Meg....Megaman." came a weak sound from his PET.

"Lan?" asked Megaman.

"Megaman, I'm OK." answered Lan.

"I'm so relieve, you scared me, are you OK?" asked Megaman.

"I'm fine Megaman." said Lan, sighing.

"I'm just worried about you." said Megaman.

"Yeah right ." grumbled Dex.

"What!?" yelled Lan and Megaman.

"What do you mean?" asked Maylu.

"Netnavis are just data's and they don't have feelings." replied Dex. (I really hate Dex now)

"How could you...."

~~~~Cyberworld~~~~

*SLAP*

"OW! Maylu?" asked Dex.

"How could you say such things like that?! Netnavis are our friends and a part of our family!" replied Maylu.

"Yeah!" Yai hissed.

"Dex," said Chaud. "I use to think the same way but I changed when I was battling Lan in the N1 Grand Prix. He taught me that navis aren't just data's, they're our friend and our family." (Awww!!!)

"Dex! You do NOT treat my brother and other netnavis like that!" exclaimed Lan.

"Brother?" asked everybody except Megaman.

"Oh No!" thought Lan and Megaman.

"Did I say brother, I mean friend." retorted Lan, a bit too quickly.

"Lan tell us the truth." said Maylu.

"Fine."

So Lan told the others about him and Megaman being brothers. So did Megaman. After explaining to them, they continue on their way to solve their mystery.

(Maylu and the others do not know Megaman/Rockman is Hub/Saito. Pretend that Lan/Netto didn't tell them, thanks!!!)(P.S. I made Dex forgot that netnavis are more than tools and data's, but friends!!!!! I didn't want Chaud to forget, so there you have it!!! Hope you enjoyed chapter 5!!!!!)
