Megaman Battle Network – Sibling Rivalry
Chapter 21 – Preparations
The eight of them clambered off the train at ACDC station. Sarah and Lan supporting Mayl who was still in a state of shock from Roll's capture. They climbed out of the station and Sarah turned to face Dex, Yai, Chaiso and Kai.
"Would you four go home now please? I don't mean to be rude but if all eight of us try to get Mayl home then someone is bound to get in the way," she said to the four.
Dex, Yai and Kai just nodded. Chaiso just clung to Dex like his life depended on it. The four of them went home.
"Chaud, can you make sure Lan gets home without being involved in a WWW attack? I'll make sure Mayl gets home safe," said Sarah.
Chaud and Lan made their way to Lan's house and Sarah helped Mayl to get home. She reached Mayl's house and knocked on the door. Mayl's parents answered the door and when they saw the state Mayl was in started to bombard Sarah with questions.
"Look, she'll be fine but the best thing to do now is to let her sleep," said Sarah. Mayl's parents moved allowing them past. Sarah took Mayl up to her room and lay her down in bed.
"Roll," said Mayl hoarsely, "Where's Roll?"
Sarah just looked at Mayl and shook her head. "I'll get her back I promise," she whispered.
Sarah went downstairs where she was confronted by Mayl's parents. After explaining what had happened on the train Sarah left and went home where she got the same questions asked by her Mum and Dad.
The next day at school Mayl wasn't there. Sarah did say that it wasn't surprising because of what had happened the day before. Ms. Mari just continued as if nothing had happened but did give a warning to be careful on the net because two dangerous navis had been spotted.
Mayl slept and in her dreams Roll was snatched into a dark cloud. Over her own screams Mayl could hear Roll screaming. Roll's scream stopped being followed by a high pitched laughter as Empress came out of the darkness and struck at Mayl with her whip.
May awoke with a start and checked the clock. It read 4:30 PM. She'd been asleep all day. She knew what the dream meant and had to stop it. She got ready and left the house clutching her empty PET.
In the Hikari house the same thoughts were running through Sarah and Lan's heads. Lan had forgotten his hatred for Sarah and both of them had united to get Roll back.
"She'll be hiding in the lower levels of the UnderNet Lan," said Sarah digging out all her style chips.
"I'll send an email to Mamoru Lan. He'll be able to get us to the UnderNets main server," said MegaMan already getting the email ready.
"Mamoru?" asked Sarah.
"His Dad built the UnderNet to keep the Giga Freeze program save. He took over as the guardian when his Dad died," said Lan, "We met him in the hospital. He's recovering from HBD at the moment."
"Wow. I'd heard rumours there was a cure for HBD developed but I didn't believe them," said Sarah.
"I wish it had been developed earlier," said Lan looking at his PET, "But I'm glad it was developed so others can survive. Besides, if it had been developed then, I wouldn't have had MegaMan helping me to defeat the WWW."
Sarah just smiled and shook her head. She knew why they had won so many times. It wasn't rare chips or a powerful navi. It was a bond that had proven time and time again to be unbreakable. A bond of trust. They constantly lay each others lives in each others hands. Wily could never grasp the bond that they shared was unbreakable. She needed that bond to succeed.
Lan left to get something to eat. Sarah looked at her PET. "Is stage one complete?" she asked.
"A couple left but I they can be done later," replied Scyler.
"Time for stage two."
A few hours later Lan and Sarah left the house. Their parents were set against it but knew that both of them had to do this. The two of them made their way to the Metroline. A hand touched Lan on the shoulder. Lan jumped and the pair of them turned to face Mayl.
"What are you doing Mayl?" hissed Lan, "This is dangerous!"
"Lan, I have to go and help," said Mayl.
"You can come just do as I say to the letter," said Sarah, "If I say drop your PET and run then drop your PET and run."
"Ok then," replied Mayl.
The three of them got on the MetroLine and got out at the correct station. Lan then led them to the entrance to the UnderNet server. Mamoru was waiting for them.
"I've sorted the system so you can Jack In directly," said Mamoru, "I've also discovered a few illegal connections from the net. Nothing serious but be careful."
"Thanks Mamoru," said Lan, "Lets get moving."
The three of them stood in the lift down and waited. Behind Mayl and Lan's backs Sarah plugged herself into her PET.
They reached the main server and stood in front.
"Mayl, I can't stop you from connecting the PET but I would like it better if you didn't," said Sarah.
Mayl said nothing and connected the PET. Sarah just shook her head.
"This time I'm going to Jack In directly," said Sarah, "I won't connect Scyler up so if I'm deleted Scyler will be able to help."
Mayl and Lan nodded. The Sarah pulled a wire from her arm and Jacked In. Lan Jacked In using his PET.
In the cyberworld Scyler V1.0 stood in front of Sarah and MegaMan.
"Welcome to my lair said the spider to fly," said Scyler.
