The Other World
Chapter 2: I'm a what???
I still need reviews. They overwhelm me, threatening to overpower my mind with darkness. Till they arrive I grow consumed with the desire for brai- reviews.
Or not. I like dramatic ways to say: Review NOW!
Disclaimer: Odds are you possibly don't care about the standard legal disclaimer. So what about an alliterative haiku?
Megaman isn't
Mine. Capcom does
Sue writers.
Proof that my haikus stink. Also, any views on the universe I myself came up with.
Also, Burenda: Megaman Classic, Megaman X, Megaman Legends, Megaman.Exe, MegamanZero and My own personal creature Neb. Thanx for the review. Also, a insert name here ): indicates a message. See if you ban spot the tibits from the various forms of Megaman. Winner gets a cameo.
The Virtual Reality Pyramid disappeared in a blinding flash of bright green and blue light. The very fabric of the universe itself seemed to snap and shrivel. No one could possibly know what was happening to the two people (AN: Or are they?) inside, although you could safely bet that it wasn't pretty.
Prerecorded Message): Multiple Universes for dummies: Everything will happen somewhere. That somewhere is a universe. Moving a simple atom could affect a universe, therefore there are as many different universes as there are atom movement combinations. If while reading this you died, it would affect the future and thusly spawn a universe. This is where I Dr. James T. Light come in. I am a part of the race of AllMost, or AM who live in between the universes on a patch of non-reality. We ensure that each universe runs correctly till it goes MegaNova. However, should our race disappear from our patch of non-reality for any reason, we have placed Guardians in each. They ensure the triumph of good over evil. We the AM control the good universes. The Dark Ones where evil triumphs are governed by a race of Darkness. They seek to destroy all good. I invented the Megamen, each defending a Universe and each possessing similar powers. Their creators are all based on me. However, it appears that we arrive at a point where all we can do to ensure the Good is leave a message for whichever guardian finds his way to the AllMost city and invest him with the powers of a MegaGuardian, the only hope of salvation for the powers of Good. If you are listening to this then the AllMost have disappeared and you are our only hope. The dream has gone out to all my Megamen to alert them they are needed, they will aid you but know this: All life depends on you and only you, you MUST win out against the Darkness... or else...
Neb "Mega" Mann and his now-girlfriend Roll Maylu listened in silence to the recording they found on the small square of ground their Virtual Reality Pyramid landed on. It was a square 10m x 10m piece of gray suspended in darkness. It currently carried a Virtual Reality Pyramid, two very shocked 14-year-olds and a small bright blue capsule (à la MMX) with a full colour hologram of a well-stuffed old man with hard set but also kind eyes and a wrinkled mouth. He wore a beard rivaling that of Santa Claus but for its picture frame shape. He wore his white lab coat overtop a white shirt with a blue tie. His eyes however seemed to contain two galaxies, each intricately detailed. Right now he was crossing his arms and looking at the figure in front of him. "... You are Neb 'Mega' Mann. By now you have noticed the similarities between your father and me. I am afraid that this is but a recording, but step into this capsule to become the MegaGuardian you were meant to be!" With that the hologram dissipated allowing Neb to step in. He did so. He looked at Roll.
"So this is what I was born to be...a guardian of all things good. My fate is too turn into this defender of everything, and I'm only 14!"
"Mega..." said Roll softly
"This is what you need to do. You heard Right-"
"Light" Mega corrected.
"Yeah Light say that you and me and all the kids at home and everywhere depend on you. I swear upon my life that I will help you in any way I can. This is as much your battle as it is mine, or any one else's for that matter."
"Roll..." Mega breathed.
"What if I fail, it'll be a Game Over for everything. Not just our own world but every other one. Life. Existence. Eeville, the Megamen. We'll all-" He was cut off as Roll kissed him. The warm embrace lasted for a long time.
"It'll be alright" she whispered. Mega just smiled deliriously and let the capsule door enclose him in its chamber.
A soft hum could be heard as Neb was encircled with pure white light. Jets of blue leapt and fell gracefully. The hum grew into a low-pitched whine. The white light became blue, but it kept changing: one moment navy blue, the next azure, royal blue, then indigo. Occasionally Roll could see a faint glimmer of what might be a hand, or a face, or an arm. Soon the whine became a scream and the light whipped erratically till Mega seemed to be enveloped by a tornado of blue. Then, from out of nowhere the light slowed and stopped. A slight ding signaled the end. Out of the mist (of course there's mist, it wouldn't be a decent transformation without mist) came a figure. Still partially clouded, he walked towards Roll. The closer he came, the more Roll could see. His running shoes were replaced with royal blue boots with red lines running along them and golden V's in between. His legs were light blue and had two parallel streaks of white going up. His knees were large bubbles. His legs continued till they ran together in a bodysuit. His torso was covered in a large chest plate with a pure white crystal in the center. His arms were azure and each ended in a large lime green bulge. His left ending in a hi-tech glove with what looked like an arm band with an LCD view screen on his wrist and his right ending in a lime green barrel with a silver hole. Roll looked up to see his face, seemingly wreathed in light. It was an aerodynamic affair with sharp edges, and entirely reflective blue. But beneath it all was Neb's own smiling face.
"Wow..." Roll noticed her mouth was hanging open, but her mind refused to let her close it. It was at that point that Dr. Light's hologram appeared.
"Well, well... a most impressive costume. You'll find yourself perfectly suited to any environment you enter." He turned to Roll "It is now your turn"
Roll, who had almost managed to close her mouth was forced to have it fall open again.
"Yes Ms. Roll, if you intend to join him then you need a few changes as well. And in response to your next question, yes, this is a recording. However our culture is much more advanced than most others. This capsule possesses A.I capability, as soon as we're finished I'll be transfer a program to your wristband that will give you some company and it will provide you with the information you need. You will each receive one." The once blue capsule became pink in a flash and Roll stepped in only to go through the same process with pink. She emerged in pink mist. Her boots were high heeled and all totally red. Her legs were covered in a light pink thin armor with a line of gold along the back. Her body was covered in a bright pink dress with a heart with a lightening bolt through it on her chest. Her arms were white and one ended in a pink hi-tech glove with her own arm computer at the wrist. Her left arm had a red stripe leading to a barrel with a blood red hole.
After she stepped out, Dr. Light rematerialized.
"I see your transformation has been no less impressive Ms. Roll. I will now transfer your respective A.I.s into your armbands. They are called Artificial Neural Investigative Machines for Analyzing and Locating. ANIMAL for short, the program will grow with you, change with you. It will help you and be your general companion. Now, you are fully operational, and you will discover your abilities as you need them. I cannot express how important this is, your failure, however small will result in the demise of all life as we know it. You should find your video game machine will take you where you need to go. And remember, experience isn't everything: Amateurs built the Ark, but professionals built the Titanic. Good Luck" The image faded.
Mega and Roll's ANIMALs beeped and booted up. Each used the owner's logo, a prompt asked for the name.
"HelpMan" said Mega
"Spin" said Roll.
The two got into the now converted Virtual Reality Pyramid, and Mega pressed the on button. "The future of everything is in our hands, how will we save it?" he asked as the LED blinked on and the Virtual Reality Pyramid disappeared in a blast of green and blue waves, bending the VRP into shapes that would give your eye a run for its money.
The pyramid disappeared in a blinding flash of light, speeding to its first task. But when they arrived, nothing could have prepared them for what they saw.
