Megaman Battle Network – Sibling Rivalry
Chapter 19 – Speed
The three of them turned round to face.
"Kai!" said Lan, "How are you?"
"Not to bad," replied Kai, "My NetBattling has improved a lot thanks to your tutoring."
"No problem," replied Lan, "You're a fast learner anyway."
"So what are you doing in Yoka Lan?" asked Kai.
"Sarah wanted to come to the zoo," replied Lan, "Oh, this is my adopted sister Sarah."
"Pleased to meet you. Has Lan given you any NetBattling advice?" replied Kai.
Mayl and Sarah burst out laughing and Kai looked at them shocked. Lan just looked at them with a glare in his eyes.
"I'm afraid it's the other way around Kai," said Mayl, "Sarah gives him the advice."
"What do you mean?" said Kai, "He didn't..." He couldn't finish it off. He looked appalled at the fact that Lan could lose a NetBattle.
"Yup," said Sarah, "Do you live around here Kai?"
"No, my parents made me come with them to see the zoo," said Kai.
The four of them found a small food stall and sat at a table. The PETs ended up on the table adding 4 more voices to the conversation.
"Is that a Scyler model?" asked Kai when he saw Scyler.
"Yes, why?" asked Sarah.
"My father claims to have seen a vicious navi feeding off other navis on the net," started Kai, "He alerted the officials who told him that it was dangerous and he should get away as fast as possible. They also sent out a full scale alert in the area saying that the Scyler model had been found. He said that he never forgot the way that navi just drained data from viruses and navis alike."
"That must have been the original," said Megaman, "Where was your father at the time?"
"He never said. Apparently the damage was so bad because she had drained the server's data as well that they had to rebuild the entire server from scratch."
"Is she capable of that?" asked Lan.
"The 1.0 model was supposed to be capable of absorbing an entire network in under an hour. And that wasn't some small office network either. That was supposed to be a government network," said Sarah.
"Ouch," said Mayl.
"Yup, all a spy would do is download it into the system and then jack it out in an hour. It never got to that stage as a week after her creation a permanent peace treaty was signed by the nations of the earth."
"No wonder she's resentful against SciLab," said Mayl, "She was built for a purpose that wasn't necessary."
"I've heard rumours about her," said Sarah, "They say that she joined the WWW."
"I'm not surprised," said Roll, "Wily is the sort of person to manipulate an evil navi like her."
"The Scyler model is a Dark Navi model," said Scyler, "I always thought Dark Navis were given the blame for more than they deserve. I mean, one Dark Navi causes a problem on the network and all the Dark Navis are hunted down and deleted."
Scyler noticed that Lan, Mayl and Kai were glaring at her and Sarah. Sarah just hit herself on the head with the palm of her hand.
"So you're a Dark Navi then Scyler?" said Lan.
"Lan listen," said Sarah, "Scyler is right. All a Dark Navi is, is a Navi that can use DarkChips without any side effects. Just because we're given a bad press doesn't mean that we are evil."
"It's not the first secret you've kept from us," said Lan, "How do I know you aren't WWW members?"
"Oh come on Lan, Dad may be absent minded but he isn't stupid," said Sarah, "He isn't about to let a WWW agent walk into his house, sleep in his house, eat food in his house and live in his house is he. I've had plenty of chances to delete Megaman and harm you by now. If I was a WWW agent don't you think I'd have done it by now? Plus the fact that Scyler is programmed by Dad. Do the maths."
"Lan," said Mayl putting a hand on his shoulder, "She's right, if she was a WWW agent she'd have deleted Megaman by now. And Roll wouldn't be in control of the Empress Style."
"Fine, but if you ever give me any reason to think that you are a WWW agent then I will delete Scyler and get you arrested," said Lan, "We'd best get to the hotel if you want to go to the zoo in the morning."
The three of them left Kai on the table on his own. "What did she mean by 'We' Kai?" asked TurboMan.
"I don't know," replied Kai.
That night Lan was in a separate room from the girls.
"Lan don't you think you were a little harsh on Sarah," said MegaMan.
Lan just lay there and ignored him.
"I mean she's right. If she wanted to delete me she could have done it that day when we NetBattled. She could have had Scyler delete me and made it look like an accident."
Lan continued ignoring MegaMan.
"Listen to me Lan!"
"I almost lost you to darkness MegaMan," said Lan, "I am not making the same mistake again."
In the next room Sarah heard the conversation.
"Why would trusting me be a mistake Lan?" whispered Sarah.
