Chapter 6- The Full Truth About Rei
Megaman quickly logged into the Sci-Lab server where programs were scattered all over, looking for any evidence where Elecman could have gone. Megaman quickly headed off to where he knew Dr Hikari was. Megaman still had Rei in his arms and Megaman knew that Rei had to be healed immediately. His questions would have to wait.
"Papa!" Megaman called out when he reached the main computer where Dr Hikari was. Dr Hikari turned towards him.
"Yes, Megaman? What is it-? Oh dear! Rei! What happened?!" Dr Hikari gasped. Megaman shook his head.
"I don't know. There was a navi who was helping him though. She said that he had a nasty run in with Bass." Megaman tried to explain. But it was hard to explain when you knew so little about the topic you were trying to explain.
"Oh? But isn't Bass only in the deeper Undernet areas? Why would Rei go down there?" Dr Hikari asked out of curiosity. Megaman shuffled uncomfortably, a very un-Mega like thing to do.
"Well um...Rei was a bit upset at what Elecman stole. Some information about him or something?" Megaman asked, even though he already knew. Dr Hikari hesitated then nodded.
"Yes, some very vital information about his creation." Megaman could tell that he and Dr Hikari were about to start walking on eggshells.
"It's alright. Rei already told me about who he was." Megaman stated. Dr Hikari sighed, making him look older than he was. Megaman continued, "You can't really blame him. All of the pressure under the circumstances and the previous ones. I'm surprised he didn't tell me sooner of who he was." Dr Hikari thought about that and agreed with Megaman. It did make sense.
"Yes, I suppose you're right. Now did you manage to catch the name of the navi that helped Rei?" Megaman nodded.
"Yeah it was that navi that Rei said he was taking netbattling lessons from. Her name was Adele or something." Megaman was confused when Dr Hikari gasped in surprise.
"Adele? As in Adele.exe?! My goodness, I wondered how come the two of them got along so well!" The good doctor exclaimed in surprise. Megaman was now even more confused.
"What do you mean? Why wouldn't Rei get along with some navis? After all, Lan used to be..." Megaman choked on his own words. Dr Hikari seemed to understand.
"Yes, Lan got along well with others. You must understand that Rei was one of the first to be created from this experiment. There were...drawbacks...so to say. You probably know that Rei doesn't have all of his memories as a human." Megaman nodded, guilt rising within him again. "But there was also something else that we scientists had a feeling would happen." Megaman focused all of his attention to Dr Hikari.
"Huh? What was that?" Megaman asked, intrigued now. Dr Hikari sighed again.
"It's very hard to explain. But the simple version is that the personality wasn't part of what we transferred from Lan. It's very lucky that even some of his memories were transferred." Megaman sighed inwardly. Why wouldn't his father just tell him what happened to his outou? Dr Hikari continued.
"What we transferred from Lan was his soul. His true being. The soul, unfortunately, does not include personality nor memories. To be honest, we don't know how Rei managed to regain some of his memories from his past."
Megaman was both shocked and baffled a bit by all this. So he asked the questions that were on the top of his mind.
"What did you mean that "he was one of the firsts"? Does that mean that someone was created like Rei was? And why would Rei's personality be different?" Megaman asked and Dr Hikari nodded.
"Yes, it means exactly that. The prototype of the project was Adele.exe. She was in the same position as Lan was so we wanted to try something else. Something that would allow the navi to have a true part of who they were originally.
And Rei's personality is different because he was raised in a different environment than he was as Lan. Rei isolated himself from most people and navis so that he couldn't tell his secret. He also had that secret locked up inside him. Unfortunately, I believe that this has made Rei more of a loner than a social navi. So you need to understand Megaman, that if Rei doesn't talk much, you shouldn't force him. Or else he might get angry at you. But the reason he could make friends with Adele is because she is Rei's prototype model. It's only natural that he would make friends with her." Dr Hikari said. Megaman tried to process all the information at once. So in some ways, Rei wasn't like Lan at all. Rei was shy and a loner while Lan was the complete opposite.
"Anyway, I need to get to healing Rei." Megaman nodded. Then a soft voice spoke behind him.
"N-no need, Papa. I've healed myself with a few chips." Megaman jumped and turned to see Rei standing behind him. How much had he heard of the conversation?
Dr Hikari shook his head is disagreement.
"No Rei, you still have some very nasty wounds that need to be taken care of. A recover chip can only heal so many of them. I need you repair your data." Rei sighed and pouted and Megaman had to hold back his laughs. Maybe Rei wasn't so different from Lan after all.
"Oh fine. Repair mode, right?" Rei said, while wearing a frown. Megaman found himself frowning. Why was Rei so sad? And what the heck was Repair mode? Dr Hikari shook his head.
"No, normal sleep mode should be alright. Please go to my private area and then place yourself in sleep mode." Rei nodded and linked himself to Dr Hikari's private area on the same computer. While Dr Hikari was trying to fix Rei's data, Megaman was brooding over what Dr Hikari said. So Rei was a loner navi? 'I bet he would get along well with Protoman' Megaman thought to himself.
"My goodness Rei, how did you ever manage to get so many wounds?" Dr Hikari asked softly, but Megaman heard him.
"Are they bad?" Megaman asked, worried about his younger brother. Dr Hikari just sighed.
"A fair amount of them. It's very lucky he wasn't deleted. He has a critical wound in his right leg and in his side, but those appear to be the worst of them." Megaman nodded.
"And what did he mean by 'repair mode'? Is that another feature that you included for him?" Megaman asked. Dr Hikari nodded.
"Yes it is. Both he and Adele have it. It allows them to heal themselves without needing someone else to repair them. Normally, I would have Rei just use his repair mode, but there were too many wounds to be healed by the mode. It would be eventually, but it would take too long. It would also get in the way, when I tried to recreated some of the data lost." Dr Hikari explained. Megaman just stood there and tried to understand what he was told about Rei. Finally, something occurred to Megaman and he gasped in surprise.
"Are you saying that Rei is...?!" Dr Hikari nodded slowly.
"Yes, Rei was created to be an independent navi. He wasn't created to have an operator."

Oooh! What will happen now? And Rei's an independant navi?
Recently, I've been running out of inspiration. So please R&R and keep my inspiration flowing!
