MegaMan Battle Network – Memories
Chapter 2 – Introductions
I looked around and saw 7 netnavis. The red ape GutsMan, the pink armoured Roll, the black and gold navi, a blue and gold navi, 2 identical black and purple navis and a red navi with a long ponytail. Roll was clinging to the blue and gold navi and one of the black navis was too close to the red navi for the red navis comfort.
The other black navi stepped forward.
"How are you feeling?" she asked.
"A little woozy, but I'm ok," I replied, "Who exactly are you lot?"
"Oh yeah," said the navi, "The amnesia, I'm Sarah, I assume you've figured out who GutsMan and Roll are, the blue one who Roll won't let go is my brother MegaMan." MegaMan gave a small wave.
"Cute," I said.
"Taken," said Sarah indicating Roll, "The gold one is Glide."
"Please to make your acquaintance," said Glide.
"Don't you already know me?" I asked.
"Although I have fought alongside Roll in Empress Style," said Glide, "I have not actually met you yourself."
"Carrying on," said Sarah, "That's my netnavi Scyler." She indicated the other black and purple navi.
"Your netnavi?" I asked.
"Long story," said Sarah, "I'll explain later. The red navi trying to look cool is ProtoMan." ProtoMan gave a small nod.
"Another cute one," I said.
"Don't try," said Sarah, "Even though ProtoMan can't stand Scyler, she gets jealous really quickly and you don't want to be on the wrong side of her."
"Ok," I said.
"Right," said Sarah, "Pair up and get out."
Roll and MegaMan paired up as well as Glide and GutsMan, Scyler looked as though she wanted to pair up with a horrified ProtoMan but Sarah ordered her to pair with me and she reluctantly complied. It may have been me, but I think a relieved look passed over ProtoMan's face for an instant.
As I walked with Scyler I tried asking her about myself.
"Do you know who I am?" I asked.
"Uh huh," said Scyler more interested in the businesslike pair of Sarah and ProtoMan in front, "I think she prefers him over Chaud but won't admit it."
"Who's Chaud?" I asked.
"Proto's NetOp," said Scyler.
That left more questions than it answered but I decided not to press on Scyler's nerve too much concerning ProtoMan, I resumed my earlier line of questioning.
"So who am I?" I asked.
"Your all Roll's evil intentions personified and given form," said Scyler, "You were first released in the first N1 and quickly thrown back, Sarah handed your power to Roll about a year later and accidentally sped up a side effect of the original transformation nearly replacing Roll with you, with MegaMan's help Roll beat you back and you agreed to lend your power to Roll, you reached the semi final in the second N1 but the match was cancelled because the stadium was destroyed."
That also left more questions than it answered but we had left the system and were about to met the NetOps, there was a brief argument about who's PET I was going to before Roll grabbed me and logged the two of us out into her PET.
I landed in the PET with Roll and looked around.
"Roll," I said, "What is it with you and pink?"
"I like pink," said Roll, "What about it?"
"Nothing," I said, "So when do I met your NetOp?"
"In a minute," said Roll, "Sarah's explaining the situation too them, then their going to decide what to do with you."
I listened nervously to some of the comments, the two girls accepted Sarah's word at face value, two of the three boys had broken to Sarah as well but the last was proving a difficult one to crack. Eventually Sarah reached an agreement with him that if he spotted me trying to delete one of the navis I'd just met, then he could try and delete me.
"Ok then Mayl," said Sarah, "Put your PET on the table if you don't mind."
The PET moved and the next thing I knew we were on the table with a load of heads looking in at us, what surprised me was that there were three girls and not two. One of the girls had shoulder length brown hair, the second had red hair that framed her face, the third was younger than everyone else there and had ginger hair in pigtails.
The three boys were different too, GutsMan's NetOp, (I could tell he was GutsMan's because GutsMan was the kind of navi someone that big would have) had a strip of brown hair running down the middle of his head but was otherwise bald, the second wore a blue bandana with a navi symbol on, he had chocolate brown hair and eyes as well, the third was standing behind the rest and wore a red coat and had his hands in his pockets, he had black hair with a white stripe round the sides and the back of his head.
"Hi again," said the brown haired girl. I had recognized the voice but refused to believe my ears, "Told you it was a long story didn't I?"
It was too much and I think and I passed out for the second time that day.
