Megaman Battle Network – Sibling Rivalry
Chapter 12 – Good Food, Bad Navis.
A few nights later we arranged to take Dex out to #1 Curry. Dex the idiot he was didn't suspect a thing until we arrived.
"No way you're taking me in there!" exclaimed Dex.
"Come on Dex. It won't hurt. We've all eaten there and we're ok," said Mayl.
"How do I know you haven't been brainwashed?" said Dex.
"Come on you big fat lump," said Yai, "I'm paying so what's wrong with you?"
"I know you actually paying for me to eat is rare," said Dex, "But you aren't getting me in there for love or money."
"Come on, we aren't going to poison you Dex," said Maddy.
"Yeah, we have changed you know," said Count Zap.
"Just let go of the lamp post and come in Dex," said Mr. Match.
"Come on big brother," said Chaiso, "Just try it this once."
"No way!"
We were all trying to pull Dex into the restaurant. We were trying so hard that Mr. Match, Maddy and Count Zap had come out to help too. I mean come on even Chaiso was trying to help us get him into the restaurant. We had ended up with Mr. Match, Maddy and Count Zap at the front and Chaiso and Yai pulling at the back.
While we were pulling Yahoot came out to take orders.
"What would you six like to eat?" he said, "Our special today is a beef curry pot with a special ingredient suggested by your Mother Dex."
"What, you're following my Mum's recipe for beef curry pot?" said Dex letting go and making everyone else fall back, "What are you guys doing sitting there? Let's go!"
"All that fuss and he was the first one in here," said Mayl as we sat down.
"So what are you eating," said Maddy.
"3 specials, 2 medium chicken curries and 1 light chicken curry," I said, "And we'll have 5 medium cokes and 1 small orange juice."
Maddy went and returned with the drinks. I handed Chaiso his orange juice and passed the others a coke each. Whilst we were waiting the conversation turned to how I knew what to order.
"I've watched you all eat here except Dex. I simply had Scyler make notes on what you all have. Lan and Yai always order the special, Mayl likes the medium chicken curry like me and although Chaiso likes the chicken curry he finds the medium too hot. Dex was easy to guess as the special is his Mum's best curry dish."
Maddy and Count Zap appeared then with the meal. The only sound for the next few minutes was the sound of contented munching.
"Ms. Mari comes here too," I said.
"The others looked at me in amazement except for Lan who just said, "She's been doing some part time work here if you guys remember." It was true, I was getting bored after school. Ms. Mari wasn't giving out much homework and Lan was still brushing it off to play with Dex. Mayl and Yai usually went out shopping so I had come in once and seen they were struggling a bit and offered to help. This meal was, unknown to any of them, already paid for.
After the meal everyone found out it was paid for and thanked me for it. We all went home to bed and woke up for school the next day.
After class Ms. Mari gave us our homework task for the holiday.
"Now you all know about the new restaurant that has opened up recently don't you. Now the owner has asked me to set a special assignment for you all. He wants you all to find out about the different curry dishes available. You will all choose a dish each and research its history, variations on the dish and how it is made. There is one detail though, you cannot ask at the restaurant about the dishes. And they will judge them and the best will get a free meal for 4 at the restaurant. Any questions?"
We left the school that day with the homework being the topic of choice.
"Wow! I'm going to start straight away tonight," said Dex.
"What's up with you Dex?" asked Mayl.
"A free meal for 4 is what's up with me."
I turned to Lan after we went in. "I know the perfect place to start the research," I said.
"YumLand," was all as Lan said.
It didn't take our navis long to reach Yumland's net area. With their translation systems running at full we chose a curry each and headed to the square. It was ominously empty.
"Uh oh," said Megaman.
"Empty again. This is the second time. Head to the BBS you two," said Lan.
"Hey, I'm the only one who gives orders to Scyler," I said.
"Go on then, give an order," Lan replied.
"Um, head to the BBS Scyler."
They arrived at the BBS and started to examine the messages. Only one had any reference to the attack and it pointed straight at the...
"WWW," said Lan surprised.
"Why exactly are we surprised Lan?" I asked, "It's not like we didn't know who it was in the first place."
A crash came from the next area. The two navis headed straight for it to find a navi there. Not trusting it they both aimed their blasters at him.
"Ah, Megaman. To be honest you're a little late. And you've brought your sister. Lord Wily will be so pleased," said the navi.
"Who are you?" said Megaman.
"Me, just a solo called CookieMan," said the navi, "I hope you like cookies."
The pair charged up their blasters when CookieMan covered their blasters in brown sticky stuff causing them to backfire. The force knocked the two navis back.
"What in the net is this stuff?" said Scyler trying to pull it off and getting it stuck all over her.
Megaman sniffed at it, then bit a chunk of and ate it. "It's, it's cookie dough?" he said chewing it off his blaster. He nearly cleaned it off before CookieMan covered both of them in it.
"Megaman!" shouted Lan.
"I have just the chip Lan," I said pretending to make a play of pulling it from my sleeve.
"I never guessed you had something up your sleeve," he said.
"More than you know," I replied.
I inserted the chip and the wire I had pulled from my sleeve into my PET. I had been careful to keep the wire from Lan. I activated a few emergency protocols before jacking myself into the net.
