Megaman Battle Network – Sibling Rivalry
Chapter 13 – Return
Sometimes I have dreams. Dreams of flying through the network again. Dreams where I can go anywhere in the world and return home in an instant. Dreams where I do what I was made to do.
It's kind of funny really. I didn't really know what a dream was until recently. Lan and his friends have been nice to me and all I've done is lie to them. What kind of a friend am I?
I can't believe I'm back on the net. Dad will kill me if he finds out. Apart from Dad and Scyler only two others know my secret. Oh and the officials who Dad had to inform.
The cocoons of Cookie Dough on Megaman and Scyler began to harden. Then suddenly they cracked open revealing two changed navis. Scyler had obviously absorbed some FireMan data from somewhere and her helmet had been replaced by a flame and the darker parts of her suit turned to red. Megaman had used his FireSoul soul union but the result was the same. Both navis had baked the dough and broken out of it. Suddenly both navis realised that CookieMan was in fact just a big shaped pile of Cookie Dough.
"Wait, you're not supposed to do that!" said CookieMan.
Both navis lowered there blasters.
"Fire Blaster," yelled Megaman.
"FireArm," yelled Scyler.
CookieMan was nowhere to be seen after the attacks.
"Aww, he jacked out," said Scyler upset, "I wanted to absorb his data."
"Leave it," said Megaman.
At that moment Scyler 1.5 Jacked in.
"Am I too late," said V1.5.
"Yes," said Scyler, "Megaman jack out and you and Lan go to SciLab and inform the Officials. Me and 1.5 will look for survivors."
"Right," said Megaman as he Jacked out.
V1.5 fell to her knees holding her head, "Argh!" she screamed.
"Sarah what are you doing? Do you realise how stupid this was?" said Scyler bending down by V1.5.
"It's getting worse," said Sarah.
"Of course it is. The longer you spend on the net the worse it gets you know that."
"It's not just that. The battle was just an excuse. I 'needed' to get on the net. I need to get to the undernet soon now."
"You can't fight her, not like this."
"You don't get it. You weren't programmed like me. It's my primary objective. Yours is just to help me. If I die now then I will fail my objective. I can't do that."
"Yes you can. You were the one that showed me that I can break free of programming constraints. Why can't you?"
"You were programmed by one of the greatest programmers ever. But me, I was programmed by the two best ever. Wily and my Grandfather. I've forgotten his name but he placed himself into Alpha to watch over it and make sure it won't cause the destruction it did before."
"If you were programmed by the two best ever, then why are you breaking down?"
"I'm not, I didn't realise till the other day but I'm reverting."
"Reverting?"
"Wily must have programmed me to eventually revert to the very thing I am trying to destroy. The original Scyler."
"We'd best Jack Out now Sarah. You first into your body, then me."
Sarah jacked back into her body. Then Scyler into the PET. Sarah swayed for a moment before she collapsed.
