Megaman Battle Network – Sibling Rivalry
Chapter 10 – Alliance
The five of them went into the funhouse and jacked their navis into the cybernetic version. They went forwards and the funhouse challenge came through the speakers. As Lan, Mayl and Sarah had been through before they knew it but they listened anyway.
"Welcome to the funhouse!" boomed the voice, "You have the challenge of making it through the funhouse with your navis. Sometimes you will find the path blocked and your navi must search for a solution in the cyberworld. Also your navis path may be blocked and the key to their passage will be in the real world. There are many routes through the funhouse ensuring fun and challenges each time you enter."
The five of them set down the passage to a right turn. "Hey, didn't we turn left here last time?" said Mayl.
"It must force you to take a different path each time," said Lan.
They moved down the path when everyone's PET beeped. Everyone's navi started talking at once.
"One at a time!" yelled Lan.
"Our paths blocked by a big CyberRock," said Megaman.
"Everyone look around for something that may shift the rock," said Sarah.
It was Lan who found it. After a bit of searching he found a stone on the floor and kicked it absentmindedly. Then Megaman said that the rock had disappeared. After looking at the stone they found it had a magnet in it. Lan pocketed it.
"Put it back," said Yai.
"Sorry, not this time," said Lan. Mayl and Sarah looked at one another.
They worked through the house for a bit until a section where the lights went off.
"Please say this is part of the challenge," said Mary.
"I don't know, it didn't happen last time," said Mayl.
"Lan it's gone dark here. We can't see what's happening. Is there a switch or something in the real world you can use?" said Megaman.
"We were about to ask the same thing," replied Lan, "This can't be part of the challenge. There was no section like this before."
Suddenly a light flashed down the end of the corridor. Mary and Sarah screamed and grabbed each other. The light came down the corridor to be revealed as Maddy using her PETs light to reveal the way.
"You 5 all right? The lights have gone in both this section of the house for both worlds," said Maddy.
"Yes, no ones hurt anyway," said Mayl.
"Ok then, Wackoman should arrive in this section of the cyberworld with some cybertorches in a minute. We should be able to use access codes to go through the rest of the house to get you lot out."
In the cyberworld the navis had grabbed each others hands. A light appeared which kept bouncing down the corridor. Ring screamed and hid behind Scyler. As Roll commented later they were all glad for the first time to hear Wackoman's voice.
"Maddy said to bring you 5 some light," said Wackoman's squeaky voice as he handed around the cybertorches.
"Thanks Wackoman," said Roll, "Boy I never thought I'd hear myself say that."
"Ok, we have light Lan," said Megaman.
"Same here," said Lan.
"Follow me," said Maddy and Wackoman.
They made their way through the house to the last room.
"Ok. There's a control panel in here somewhere," said Maddy looking around.
"Maddy, my code won't work on the door," said Wackoman.
"What? That's not right," said Maddy trying hers on the real door, "Someone must have changed them."
Suddenly the lights came back on and nearly blinded all of them. When the navis focused they found the source of the trouble.
"Elecman?" said Wackoman, "What are you doing here?"
"Lord Wily wants us to get rid of some traitors. Mainly you three," replied Elecman.
Maddy had managed to locate a console and opened up a screen.
"Elecman. That means Zap must be nearby," said Maddy.
Count Zap opened a window in the cyberworld. "Lord Wily wants you three out of the picture. You know too much about the WWW to be allowed to live. Of course, you can live by joining the WWW again."
"I'll never side with Wily again, and neither will Yahoot or Match," said Maddy as she plugged in her PET.
"Shame, he had high hopes of you apparently."
The others plugged their PETs into the console.
"Oh dear. If you're siding with Megaman and Lan then I will have to delete Wackoman now won't I?"
Elecman went straight for Wackoman.
"Fire Arm!" yelled Fireman who had just Jacked in and decided to declare open season on Elecman.
"You didn't leave him on that day, to today we will make you pay," said Magicman as he summoned a load of viruses.
"What are you two doing?" said Count Zap in shock.
"We've got a good thing going here. We are not going to lose it all because of the WWW!" said Mr. Match in his window.
"Sometimes to aid others to see the light, you must first cause them pain," said Yahoot from his window.
"But we were the best, we stuck together until the end," said Count Zap.
"And we will if you leave Wily," said Maddy, "But until then we will fight you."
"Very well then, Elecman attack the kids navis."
Scyler moved in front of the group of navis. "Remember me?" she said.
Elecman backed off for a moment.
"Elecman, she isn't in that vampire form right now. Attack!"
Elecman moved in for the attack.
"One shot, hope this still works," said Sarah, "Battlechip In, Download, Ring Style Power Up!"
Scyler changed to her Ring style. She took on the shape of Ring's body but her face looked more like Empress Roll's than Ring's and her fingers ended in claws.
"Great idea!" said Mayl, "BattleChip In, Download, Empress Style Power Up!"
"Fool," said Count Zap, "Don't you know that Ring's RingRang is an Electric Element."
"But Ring herself isn't," said Sarah, "Mayl?"
"BattleChip In, Element Change, Wood Power Up!" said Mayl and Sarah in unison.
"Ahh," said Count Zap as he realised what happened, "Can't we talk this through?"
"RingRang," yelled Scyler and Ring.
"HeartBreaker," yelled Roll sending a long range attack.
"Twin Tower," yelled Wackoman sending his Aqua and Fire Towers.
"Fire Tower," yelled Fireman sending his Fire Tower.
Magicman sent his viruses in to attack.
"MegaBuster!" yelled Megaman.
"Glyde Cannon," yelled Glyde.
A battered Elecman lay on the floor. He was more surprised by the fact he wasn't being fired at again than the fact that he wasn't deleted.
"If you give up now and leave the WWW then we won't delete Elecman," said Maddy.
"Why are you giving me a second chance?" asked Count Zap confused.
"It's like you said Zap. We are the best, we'll stick together until the end," said Mr. Match, "You saw what we did when we worked with Lan and his friends. This is part of being on the good team, giving someone a second chance."
"Sometimes the bird will fall from the nest before it learns to fly," said Yahoot, "But it's parents will always return it to the nest."
Count Zap looked at the three former WWW executives. He hung his head and said, "Elecman, release the door to the main control room."
The door was released to reveal a downhearted Count Zap. He held his arms out in front of him.
"Arrest me then," he said.
Maddy just shook her head, "I can't see any netcriminals here. Can you five?"
Everyone just shook their heads.
"You're all going to forgive me?" said Count Zap.
"Yes, but under one condition," said Lan, "You've got a lot of cash built up haven't you."
Count Zap just nodded.
"Then help your friends start up a restaurant. That's why they're working here. To earn the cash to start it up."
"Yeah, ok then, I'll do it. I'll even work there to pay of my dept to you guys."
A few minutes later the seven of them left the Funhouse. Count Zap and Maddy went to talk to Mr. Match and Yahoot about the restaurant. They stood and watched for a minute then walked off.
"Anyone up for some more rides?" asked Lan.
"No way!" said Yai, "I've had enough for one day!"
"I'm with Yai," said Mary, "I'm feeling tired anyway so I'd best go to her house and rest."
"How long are you staying for Mary?" said Mayl.
"A week this time," said Mary.
"We'll see you tomorrow then Mary."
"See you," said Mary and Yai.
"Bye," said Lan, Sarah and Mayl.
"Well that sure beats our last date," said Mayl turning to Lan.
"IT WASN'T A DATE!!!" screamed Lan at the top of his voice. As Sarah and Mayl fell about laughing, Sarah turned to look at the four former WWW members who had also fell about laughing at Lan.
