Megaman Battle Network- The Resurrection

By Dragon-Knight

The year is 20xx, and mankind continues to advance. The old days of computers and the network that connected them have died. Only to be replaced with the greatest breakthrough in computer technology in history. Almost every electronic device on the planet is connected to the 'The Cyber Net'. The net surpasses it's predecessor in every way. The virtual technology used to generate the net gives people the ability to actually 'see' the computer world. However this has brought one major downside, civilization and all humanity have become dependant on computers and the services they provide. As such many people have tried to take advantage of this and use to their own will. One such man was Dr. Willy, leader of the terrorist group WWW, world three.

I now bring you forward to the point were one story ends and ours begins.

The battle with Alpha has ended and the threat to the world has ebbed. Once again the terrorist group know as world three had risen up from it's former ashes to destroy the world, led by their homicidal leader Willy and armed with Alpha construct they had come close. But a young teenager and his navi had destroyed the World Three for the second time. They were Lan and Megaman. They were legends among the net-battlers; they were the ones who had defeated the Life virus and the multibug organisium. They had even gone against the legendary Navi Bass and lived to tell about it. However Bass had not been deleted, he had survived, badly damaged but still alive.

All he could see was darkness. It was like thick velvet curtain blanketing everything, without light or depth; even with all of his legendary strength he was powerless against the might of this 'alpha'.

He began to struggle against the red mass that was his captor. He was running out of power and was beginning to run out of hope. His mind began to wander, why he had been beaten a naive little navi and his pathetic human partner. He was the greatest navi ever created but still he had lost to that blue navi. He had earned his power though years of hard torture, he had fought for it tooth and nail, but he lost to that blue navi. As his thoughts continue to roll though his mind, he felt a slight twitch at the back of his being. The twitch then struck him like a blast lightning. It was like a small trickle of power forming in the back of his skull. It didn't take him long to figure out what it was. It was the power he had absorbed from the guardian program, the very program that had led him here to this cursed tomb. He felt strength returning to him but as soon as came into being it began it was drained by what remained of Alpha. He had to act quickly. He began to focus all of his energy, stretching every fibre, every program, every electron that was part of him and punched his way though the walls of the cyber-verse. He found himself forcing his way though massive amounts useless data and connections of the WWW base before he found the net link. His salvation.

He appeared deep in the Undernet floating above the floor. He dropped down like a lead weight unable to maintain his floating state. His body began to fade away. The fight with Megaman and Alpha had taken all of his strength and the last trick he pulled had taken more energy then he could spare. His ocular subroutine gave one last second of sight before to succumbing to the severe damage and went offline leaving him without sight. Once again he was left in complete darkness. All he could do was hear and speak, however speech would do him no good for there was not a soul left in this dark satanic pit. The dark static sky of the Undernet hung heavy as he just laid there. All of his battles, all of his struggles to stay alive would soon end in this humiliating way; if his data didn't fail, a mere virus could do him in. There was nothing left for him to do but wait for the end and listen to a faint scratching noise left in the background. Then one thought popped into his head.

Where the hell was that noise coming from?

He began to strain his ears trying to clarify what it was, it sounded almost like a virus, savage and howling. But this thing (whatever it was) was far too powerful just to be a runoff the mill virus. He could hear the howls coming closer, each one growing in power, a sound that commanded respect. Bass could almost feel the creature's suffering and pain but under that layer there was a feeling he was all to use to, Hatred. This thing, whatever it was had done something thought impossible; it had earned Bass's curiosity.

Now to anyone with sight they would see that the sound was emanating from a huge dog with glairing red eyes. It had grey armour for a skin with faint lights flickering from time to time. It had large pieces of its body missing there were also large slashes straight thought the beast's armour, obvious inflicted by several slashes from a sword battle chip.

Anyone with an ounce of computer knowledge could tell that this being was in the same state of damage as Bass.

'Will you save me?' croaked out Bass.

The creature gave a roar that shook the whole of the area. Bass of course took this as a yes, even if it had been a no he would have done it anyway. For he had survived deletion from an army of navis and he would rather be tormented for all time then suffer deletion by the hand of that piece of human operated rubbish. He slowly began to force him to his feet; an impressive feat for his knee caps had almost been completely smashed and degraded. Using nothing but all of his will power he got shakily to his feet. He reached out his hand and activated the single piece of data that had had served him so well during his lifetime

'Get Ability Program!'

His out stretched hand began to glow a faint blue light. This light began to have a magnetic effect on the great grey beast before him. It began fall apart into pixels of data and flow straight into Bass's out stretched palm. Then bolt of power began to surge outward from his hand and all over his body. He could feel the power threatened to rip him to pieces, in his weakened state this was much harder then it should have been. A strange black light began to emanate around the independent navi. The amount of power that he was producing began to rip apart the floor causing the whole of the area to quake. The navi could feel his body being repaired but it felt more like his data was being shredded into pieces. A savage roar tore itself from his throat. The beast's data was rewriting and combining with the essence of Bass.

He screamed in agony and this strange light became brighter and brighter It felt like the whole sector was about to fall apart but then……..it stopped.

An eerie silence once again reigned over the Undernet. The floor had been destroyed leaving a huge crevice in the middle of the road that didn't seem to end.

And their stood Bass left speechless for what had just happened. He had been completely restored, his armour, his body even his cape looked repaired, almost if the damage had never happened. But Bass's attention was focused on something else.

He had absorbed countless beings, navis and programs before but this power was beyond anything he could have dreamed of. Even the power of Guardian program paled in comparison to this increase. He then checked his body; the deep scar imbedded in his chest was still there, still pulsating with red light, still reminding him of the betrayal and torment he had gone though...good.

He quickly regained his composer and began to float above the ground in his normal fashion. He folded his poncho over his being to hide his body and mouth. With this new power he would continue to be the most feared thing on the net. The first things that he wanted to do were finding that pitiful excuse of a navi and take his vengeance upon him, very slowly.

'Megaman' he said in a voice barely louder then a whisper 'you are MINE!'

And on that note he folded his poncho across his body and transported to another part of the net. Leaving the area empty. Apart from one cloaked figure floating out of sight of Bass. The navi was almost completely invisible due to his billowing black cloak covering his body save for the eerie cold blue eyes. His cloak looked completely black almost as if it was nothing more then a shadow. His was quite a sight.

'We'll see about that' the floating navi spat with nothing but contempt in his voice, he then jacked out to report to his master.

In the quiet town of ACDC, school had just started for the day and all the children had made their way to the school. Well almost all the students.

'I am so dead' gasped a teenager as he rushed to school on his skates at neck breaking speed. His brown hair was being wiped back revealing a blue bandana.

'I told you to wake up' said a much more calm voice coming from the boy's PET hanging from his belt. The PET was blue and if it could it would have been clinging for dear life as its owner race towards his destination. From looking at it you could see that it was obviously a fully customised PET

The teenager racing down the street was Lan Hikari and the voice from the PET was the voice of the navi called Megaman.

Once again Lan had slept in and was now going to be late. He rushed past the front gate and straight to his classroom. He hoped out of his skates and but them in his back pack and hoped his way to ward his doom as he tried to put his shoes on the feet. He stopped right outside the door to his classroom. He took a few deep breaths, braced himself for the worst and went inside.

'Where have you been Lan?' The voice that had just stung Lan like a bucket of ice belonged to his teacher Ms. Mari; she was a kind woman with brown hair but her patience on Lan's constant tardiness was beginning to fade. Lan's face contorted into one that looked like fear.

'I over slept again' Admitted Lan Sulkily his face looking at the floor.

'Just go and take your seat' Ms. Mari sighed

'Yes Ms. Mari' Replied Lan, his sounding his complete defeat, his face still facing the floor.

Lan sulked over to his seat. His friend Dex couldn't help but giggle along with Lan's other friends Mayl and Yai. Lan couldn't help himself from joining his friends. He looked over to his best friends.

First there was Yai a small kid who should be a few years below them but she was moved up due to her unusually high IQ. Her small body was often offset by her rather large head. It was common knowledge that her Farther was the president of Ayano-Tec, one of the largest gaming companies in the world. This made her the envy of more then a few people.

There was also Dex a bit of a brute but a good kid at heart. Easily the largest kid in the class, there was a time that he would have seen to be a bully. But that had changed when everyone saw him friends like Yai and Lan. He had recently moved back from Netopia due to farther getting a new job in Electopia.

Last there was Mayl a sweet girl who had often attempted to shown her feelings for Lan, but Lan being as dense as he is when it comes to this matter, was still clueless.

'Now class' intervened the teacher causing the rest of the class to fall back into attention. 'We have a new student joining this class today. He just moved to ACDC and doesn't have any friends here yet, so be nice.' That last bit of that introduction was barked out making it seem more like an order then a statement.

'Come in' She called to the door.

The door opened to reveal the new student. A boy walked. He had black hair and was just under 6ft. He was wearing white trousers and a black short sleeved shirt covered by a blue denim jacket. His black hair had been gelled up slightly at his forehead and back at his temples. His eyes were an odd grey colour and he had a black customised PET strapped onto his belt. He was also wearing a necklace with the yin and yang symbol on it. His face was set like he was wearing a mask, rather unnerving. He walked slowly to the front of the class. He then faced the class and in a clear voice he said

'My name is Duo, It's a pleasure'
