'Hello?' Lan looked into the hologram. All he could see was an intense light. He looked at his PET. Megaman was still alive, but he didn't know where he was…
'Jacking-out program activated. All guest navis are being evacuated.' A voice spoke from the speakers. Suddenly, the hologram disappeared, and Megaman appeared on the PET.
'Megaman, are you alright?' Lan asked nervously.
'Yeah, ow, I think so…what just happened?…' The blue bomber asked. He then asked, 'How's Roll?' Lan looked over at Maylu. She looked a tiny bit nervous, but he could tell by her expression that Roll was okay.
'She's fine.' Lan answered. 'But I think Glyde knows something we don't. He's on the main system with another navi. I'll jack you in.' Lan pressed a switch above the jack-in port. The connected network changed, and Megaman went in. Inside, he could see Glyde and another navi talking. The rest were seated around them. Megman went and sat next to Roll.
'Hey, Roll. You alright?' He said, putting his arm around her. She sighed, and leant against him.
'Kinda. I don't feel well. I don't think synchronization agrees with me.' She smiled sheepishly. Megaman kissed her on the forehead.
'It's okay. You'll always agree with me.' Megaman smiled. Roll smiled back. 'Come on, let's see what the others are saying.' They walked over and sat closer to the conversation, so that they could actually hear it.
'Listen, whatever happened in there wasn't my fault! You can't blame me!' Shouted a navi dressed in a cloak. 'It wasn't my fault!'
'I saw something in the painting! I swear I did! It was a glitch or something!' Glyde shouted back, his grace forgotten. 'Listen, mister, who are you?'
'My name's Elixir.EXE, but that-' Elixir stood stock still for a moment. He was remembering something…
A few minutes ago…
A glitch, he thought. Then he went back to the painting. Little did he know, inside the network, something was drawing power from the gallery…
'Sir, we have a problem!' Jenaine called up from his workstation. Elixir walked over and looked at the screen.
'What's wrong?' He asked.
'Sir, it's the generators. They're diverting power from the NetCity buildings and putting it in the Elixir cannon. Something's not right.' Elixir sighed. He wasn't expecting anything to happen on a day like this.
'Listen, just keep the generators running. We can't afford to lose NetCity at a time like this.'
In NetCity…
Iceman looked up. A light was flashing above him. Then it rippled. Iceman blinked. That's the last time I eat those fries, he thought, before going off to meet the others.
Back in the terminal…
Elixir blinked. He remembered.
'Ah yes, the glitch…I do remember. Something wasn't right back then…yes…it could be possible…yes…I'm certain…' Elixir said to himself. Axl looked at him with an eyebrow raised. Elixir reached into his pocket, pulled out a mobile phone, and tapped in a number. 'Jeraine? Yes, listen, I need you to run a virus check. Yes, right away.' He waited a few seconds.
Jeraine looked at his monitor.
'That can't be right…'
'Yes? Really? But that's…yes, I quite understand. Thank you. Bye.' Elixir pressed a button and put his phone back into his pocket. 'Everyone, yes, I think I understand what's going on.' Megaman stood up.
'And about time too! Come on, spill the beans! What in net is going on?!?!' Megaman shouted.
