The Final Code
Chapter 2: The New Kid
"Why did you pull me out so early?" asked Dynamo.
Jenako grinned as he took his sip of wine. He then stated to the mercenary, "I don't want him destroyed yet."
"Why?"
Jenako continued to look at the screen displaying MegaMan's struggle. "You see, I have a hypothesis. My extensive research on the navi has revealed some... revelations."
"What do you mean?"
"MegaMan handled the GigaFreeze program."
Dynamo raised one of his eyebrows. "The what?"
"GigaFreeze. This program could freeze Alpha, the primal form of the Internet. However, if you weren't chosen to handle it, the navi that touched it would be frozen forever. There were two who have handled it. MegaMan and Bass. The way I see it, this navi may hold the key to revealing to me where the Final Code is located if he was able to handle GigaFreeze."
"The Final Code?"
Jenako then said, "That code will cause Megiddo to rise."
Dynamo looked at him stupefied. "If you don't want him destroyed, why did ya tell me to implant the virus in the school mainframe?"
"This was a test. Your Dynamo Towers have severely disrupted him. But why is he still responding?"
"What!?"
101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010
Lan clenched his PET when he heard a voice. "Lan!"
Lan was very surprised. It was his navi, Megaman. "Lan! Download a Battle Chip!"
"Weren't you disrupted?"
MegaMan then shouted to his operator, "I don't know what happened. Just do it!"
Lan nodded as he pulled a Battle Chip from his pocket. "Black Bomb! Battle Chip In! Download!!"
MegaMan was no holding a huge bomb in his hands. There was five minutes on the detonator. "All right! Here we go!" MegaMan threw the bomb at the detonator. It exploded on impact.
"Woo hoo! Go MegaMan!" yelled an extremely overly excited Lan, who was dancing around.
MegaMan looked at the remnants of the detonator virus. It was still there, but it now had ten seconds on the clock. "What?!" The blue navi exclaimed.
A message was now heard from the virus. "Detonation in 10...9...8...7..."
"No!" Lan yelled.
"6..."
"Lan!" MegaMan yelled.
"5..."
MegaMan tried to shoot it with his Mega Buster, but it did nothing.
"4..."
"Sorry Lan." Muttered the blue navi in defeat.
"3...2..."
But then, there was a gun shot noise. The virus was instantly deleted. MegaMan turned around to see a new navi. This navi wore a crimson cloak. He had piercing red eyes that was enough to give anyone the creeps. He had no helmet, which was very odd. He long black hair.
The navi had his arm extended, which he held a gun. He retracted it back and put it under the cloak. The navi turned around and started walking away.
"Wait!" MegaMan called out.
The navi stopped and then said, "You fool."
"Huh?"
"You foolish navi. You realize how close the school was to being destroyed? You and your operator are pathetic."
MegaMan countered by saying, "Hey don't talk about Lan like that!"
The cloaked navi smirked. "You two were complete idiots. Lets hope that I won't have to bail you out again." The mysterious navi then disappeared.
"Logging out." It didn't even say his name.
MegaMan was now curious. "Who was that?"
101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010
Dynamo stared in complete shock. "I don't understand. That attack should've disrupted him!"
Jenako smiled. "If my hypothesis is correct, then he holds the key to the Final Code. However, there is now one factor that I have to include."
Dynamo was being over dramatic about his Dynamo Towers not doing their job. "How can this be? I have worked hard to perfect that technique! Is it not perfect enough? Oh how fate can be cruel..."
"Shut up!!!!" yelled Jenako.
Dynamo then stopped and said. "Sorry about that. I decided to put drama into my system for undercover missions. How did I do?"
Jenako just kept silent, staring down at the screen.
Dynamo sweat-dropped and gulped. "Heh, heh, heh. I'll shut up now."
Jenako then sighed and said. "Anyways, before you interrupted me, a new factor has been added in. Crimson and his stupid navi are here. Megiddo's missions have now become ten times harder to pull off."
"Is there anything I can do?"
Jenako took a sip of wine and said. "Not this time. I'll call you in the future."
Dynamo responded, "Ok! Ja ne!" His screen went black.
Jenako closed the laptop as he drank more wine. As he finished, a person came up to him holding a wine bottle. "Sir. Would you like some more?"
Jenako smiled and said, "Yes please. And waiter, I'm ready to order." 'Heh. The first test was complete. I wonder what would've happened if I hadn't warn him. Oh well.'

After Detention is over
"Ah man! This sucks!" Lan said out of frustration as he walked home. "I tried to save the school and I still got detention!!!"
"Hey look at it this way!" chirped MegaMan from his PET. "At least the school is safe!"
Lan sighed. "But we didn't stop the virus. That one navi did."
"Who was that though?"
"I wouldn't know."
010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101
Jenako once again sat in his room. He pressed a button and a screen popped up on the computer. It showed the visual of a kid wearing blue. He had aqua colored eyes and light blue hair.
"Hello Jack. I have an important assignment for you today."
The young boy stared at him with emotionless cold eyes. "What is it?"
"I need you to put a deep frost on DenTech City."
Jack narrowed his eyes and replied, "You want me to freeze the whole city?"
Jenako grinned and said, "That would be desirable. However, you may encounter MegaMan."
Jack closed his eyes. "He won't be a problem."
"Also, Crucifix has been spotted on the net. I believe Crimson had followed Megiddo activities to here."
"Understood."
010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101
Lan opened the front door of his house. His mom was cleaning dishes. "How was school today? Did you enjoy detention?"
Lan mumbled at his mom's sarcasm as he went into his room. He put his PET up on the computer, and then just fell on the bed.
"Hey Lan! You got mail!" the blue navi shouted.
Lan got up asked him, "Who's it from?"
"I don't know. It's anonymous."
"Well, what does it say?" Lan said as he lay back down.
"It says:
Dear Lan,
I am aware of what happened today. As you probably heard, Megiddo, a crime syndicate both responsible for crimes on the net and the real world, have made an appearance in DenTech City. I'm not sure what Megiddo is after, but it's best for you and your navi to stay out of events that could be linked to Megiddo. This is only a warning, and I can't stop you from doing what you want. But take heed. You may not be as lucky as you were today.
Crimson."
Lan pondered on the letter. "Who's Crimson?"
MegaMan continued to look at the letter. "I don't know. But I have a feeling that we'll find out."
101010101010101010101010101010101010010101010101011010101010011001010101
Next day at School
"So Lan! You finally got here on time!" teased Maylu.
"Aw come on! Gimme a break would ya?" Lan replied.
"Wow! He's here on time?" chirped a new voice.
Lan turned around. "Oh. Hey Tory!"
Tory grinned and said, "You should feel proud Lan! A couple more tardies and you'll get a new record!"
"Ha ha." Lan responded sarcastically.
Ms. Mari walked up in front of the classroom and announced, "Class! We have a new student today!"
A boy wearing long black shorts, shirt, and red vest stepped up in the front of the class. He had amber colored eyes, and short black hair. The boy wore a grin on his face.
Ms. Mari said, "Class, this is Zieg Crimson."
Zieg replied, "Hey there!"
Lan just looked at the kid. 'Zieg Crimson? He's Crimson?' Lan thought in shock. He shook his head. It couldn't be him.
Ms. Mari smiled and said, "You can sit right behind Lan."
Zieg nodded and sat in the desk appointed to him. He took his seat and whispered, "Well Lan, did you get my message?"
Lan just closed his eyes. "Yeah I got it. So you're Crimson?"
"Yup. That's me. If you want to discuss the Megiddo issue, find me during lunch."
Lan nodded. He didn't like Zieg at all. Despite that however, he knows that he talk to him
101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010
In Cyber World
MegaMan just heard the conversation between Lan and Zieg. "So he's Crimson huh?"
"Guts! What's MegaMan talking about? Guts!" said a confused, huge bulking GutsMan.
Glyde, the butler navi, had said, "I agree. What's going on MegaMan?"
The blue navi turned around and said, "A guy named Crimson had e-mailed us about what happened during school. It said that Megiddo, a crime organization, was responsible."
The small Eskimo navi, IceMan, chipped in. "Hey guys, I've heard about Megiddo over the BBS. It's an organization that is responsible for many crimes that have occurred. Their leader is wanted in twenty different countries!"
Roll asked, "What did he do?"
"He's done plenty." Replied a monotonous voice.
The gang turned around to see a crimson-cloaked navi.
"You!!!" MegaMan shouted.
The navi grinned. "Yes, it's me."
Roll looked at MegaMan in a concern manner. "Do you know him?"
MegaMan nodded. "He's the one who destroyed the virus yesterday."
The navi looked at the gang with cold eyes. He smiled and said, "I want you to know that you are pathetic."
GutsMan then walked over to the navi. "Guts! GutsMan don't like your attitude! You a puny navi! Guts!"
The navi looked at GutsMan with sheer coldness. "I don't care what you think, so just shove off!"
GutsMan was now furious. "GutsMan Mad! Guts! I squish you now!" GutsMan raised his fist, ready to hammer it down on the navi.
The cloaked navi grinned. "My such animosity." Just as GutsMan was about to bring his fist down, the navi quickly pulled out his gun and pointed at his head. GutsMan froze.
MegaMan shouted out to his friend. "GutsMan!"
The navi just glared at GutsMan viciously. He threatened, "Either you swallow your pride and walk away, or you swallow this shot and don't walk away now."
GutsMan had to comply with the terms of agreements. He walked away.
Roll couldn't stand it. She just walked up to the navi. "Who do you think you are!?" She raised her hand, ready to slap him, until the navi brought his hand up. He grabbed her arm, and then tossed her over to MegaMan, who wasn't quite prepared. The two collided.
The cloaked navi then answered her. "The name is Crucifix." He then logged off.
All right people, that's the end of chapter 2. Stay tuned for chapter 3.
