Megaman Battle Network – Sibling Rivalry
Chapter 17 – History
Despite the fact that everything sorted itself out in the end Lan was still punished by Dad removing the chips that Megaman needed to do soul union from Lan's folder for a week. He did say that he would have removed his soul union ability but he felt that he'd need it later.
I wasn't punished but Dad did tell me to be more careful when deciding if it was a threat or not.
It was a few days after the incident and Lan was already begging for his chips back so he could NetBattle.
"Please Dad, I need them to beat Dex in a NetBattle," pleaded Lan.
"I thought you of all people knew that a NetBattle isn't just about powerful BattleChips or soul unions," replied Dad.
"Please Dad, I need those chips," pleaded Lan.
It was a sad sight to watch. Lan was literally following Dad around on his hands and knees trying to get his chips back. Dad wasn't giving though.
"Aww," said Lan as Dad left for work, "How am I going to beat Dex now?"
"Try using your megabuster and cannon chips Lan, you know, those things I used to beat you," I replied. Lan just glared at me. "I could teach you a program advance using cannon chips but," I started.
"Please teach it to me!" said Lan on his hands and knees again.
"Nope."
"Hey, you said you would!"
"No, I said I could. I never mentioned the word would."
Needless to say Lan came home that day the third best Netbattler in ACDC. Luckily he managed to get a rematch set up for the next week.
"If I only had my sword chips I would have beaten him but no, my sword chips can be used to access ProtoSoul so I can't have them for a week now," moaned Lan on the way home.
"Look at it this way, you learned were your weaknesses lie," I said.
"Yeah, when I have no good battlechips."
"Lan, your abilities as a NetBattler aren't measured by your battlechips but by how you use them. A true netbattler can win without using any chips," I said.
"Yeah like you'd know," said Lan, "It's your fault I've got no battlechips anyway."
"And that cannon miraculously appeared out of thin air did it?" I replied ignoring the first comment.
"You know what I mean, if you hadn't gone into a mood I would still have my battlechips."
"And if you had checked your facts and been a bit more sympathetic then maybe I wouldn't have gone into a mood."
"And if your programmers hadn't made it so you would revert then maybe you wouldn't have come to live with me and I wouldn't be in this mess!"
"So you're blaming all your problems on me and Wily now are you?"
"Yes I, Wily?"
"Wily was one of three programmers on the independent navi project. The other two were Dr. Cossak and our Grandfather. After the first attempt of Bass they developed a new navi. Scyler."
"Hang on!" said Megaman, "I checked the records and they showed that Scyler turned up after Alpha. After Dr. Cossak left the team."
"Emphasis on the 'turned up'. She was created and I believe she fooled Alpha into believing she could be absorbed when in reality she absorbed Alpha and became Alpha. After Alpha's capture she must have contained herself in a chip or something in order to survive the system crash.
"You heard how Bass' connection to Dr. Cossak was severed when facing down the Officials. That's a lie cooked up by SciLab to keep Scyler a secret. In reality the very weapon that severed that link could only have been one thing. And at the time only one of them existed and it existed in Scyler itself. The DarkSword."
"Wait, are you saying it was a Dark Chip that severed the connection?"
"Yes. After that Dr. Cossak left the independent navi project and Wily and Gramps designed me. Wily had been the driving force behind the Scyler project so when he found I was been created to destroy his project he must have programmed me to revert to the original model."
"But Gramps?" said Lan starting to say how he had stayed to watch the guardian program.
"Wasn't as stupid as you thought. He simply placed a backup of himself into the computer system so he could watch the independent navi project take place. The two were linked so that both could act independently but gain the same memories.
"After 5 years just before Dad became a scientist, Gramps asked to be deleted so that he could die in peace. It was the one in the computer system that worked on the programming. I must thank Wily for the pulse transmission system one day. If it hadn't been for that I wouldn't have been created."
"Why's that?"
"Because no matter what he thinks, Wily is nowhere near the programming skills of Gramps and Dr. Cossak when it comes to making navis. If Gramps hadn't been transferred into the computer like that Wily would have effectively started from scratch."
