Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all the reviews!! So now, in return, is
the next chapter! And may I ask of the reviewers to NOT tell me to update
soon, since normally, by the time I post this, I'm already starting to
write the next chapter. It also just disrupts my thinking when you ask
that. So please don't, ok? Just so I can get the next chapter out sooner.
Thanks to my close buddy Geoff for the whole Dark Soul idea and info.

RECAP FROM LAST CHAPTER:
"Run...Rei..." Megaman muttered softly and collapsed. Rei's eyes widened in shock and horror. Rei stood trembling as Bass showed himself, smirking. "I guess you thought you had me. Nice try." Bass said cooly. Rei's eyes were downcast and he was trembling. He clenched his fist. His breaths were ragged and quick with anger apparent. "How...dare...you..." Rei muttered softly, so soft that both Protoman and Bass leaned towards him to hear. "How...dare you... HOW DARE YOU HURT NIISAN!! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR HURTING MY BROTHER!!! YOU'LL DIE!!" Rei screamed at the top of his lungs, startling both Protoman and Bass. A bright light surrounded Rei as he charged it at Bass.
END RECAP
When the light dimmed down, Bass could sense that Rei's conditions, such as his speed, accuracy and power had increased dramatically. But when he saw Rei, he was startled by his dramatic change. Rei's entire outfit had become black. His helmet now had a visor the completely covered his eyes. His top was surrounded by what looked like shadows that swirled around his arms. He also had what looked like an aura. A dark aura. This wasn't the normal Rei.
"What the hell are you?!" Bass demanded. There was no response for a moment from Rei. Finally he answered.
"I am... Dark Soul Rei. "DS Rei (I'm just gonna abbreviate it so it doesn't kill my hands) had a voice that sounded... evil. No, not really evil, more like devoid of any emotions. Devoid of any sort of humanity. Protoman gasped. The power radiating off Rei was like none other that he had felt.
"How did you do that?! That's a soul unison I"ve never seen!" Protoman gasped. DS Rei turned his head towards Protoman and for a moment, Protoman could somehow see through that visor to see harsh crimson colored eyes.
"It doesn't matter." DS Rei said and suddenly charged at Bass. Bass, caught off guard, activated his life aura (I think that's what its called). DS Rei threw two ninja stars. The two hit the aura at the same time, causing it to fall. Bass immediately knew that he was biting off more than he could chew. DS Rei summoned a buster and fired ten shots at Bass. Those shots did an incredible amount of damage, leaving him close to deletion.
"If you don't wish to go the recycle bin right now, I would suggest that you go back to the Undernet... where you belong... and never come back up here and bother me or my friends. Go." DS Rei's last statement was a demand, not a suggestion. Bass quickly got the heck out of the Sci-Lab server, bleeding data bits all over.
Meanwhile, Megaman had woken up just briefly enough and long enough to see DS Rei blasting Bass, nearly deleting him.
"R-Rei..." Megaman whispered after Bass logged out. DS Rei turned to face Megaman, who was being held up by Protoman. Rei's anger faded away and so did the soul unison. Rei nearly collapsed as he felt all the power flowing out of him at once and yet he knew it was a good thing. He was back to normal. Rei more or less stumbled over to Megaman and Protoman. He took Megaman from Protoman. Megaman, by this time, had fallen back into unconsciousness. Rei frowned when he saw that Megaman was seriously bleeding data bits. Rei started walking towards where he knew Dr Hikari was, but Protoman stopped him.
"Rei. How is Megaman your brother? You're hiding something." Protoman stated. Rei sighed and nodded.
"Yes, I am. But for now, I need to get Megaman to Dr Hikari. Then I'll answer your questions." Rei said quietly. Protoman agreed and followed Rei to Dr Hikari's private computer.
"Papa." Rei called out, making Protoman even more confused. Dr Hikari's worried face appeared on the screen.
"Rei? Are you alright?" Dr Hikari asked. Rei nodded.
"Yes, I'm fine. It's Mega who needs some help here. Bass caught him off- guard and attacked him." Rei said grimly. Dr Hikari sighed and quickly got to work. After about five minutes of waiting and saying nothing, Protoman broke the silence.
"Rei, are you going to explain?" Protoman finally asked. Rei nodded.
"Papa, I need to tell Protoman. Will you help me?" Rei asked. Dr Hikari sighed and nodded.
"Arigato. Anyways... Recently, the scientists at Sci-Lab started developing a different type of net navi. A type of navi that was independent, but wasn't given extreme power and that had a new type of mode. A repair mode. But something went wrong. For some reason, a true navi consciousness couldn't fully harness the power of the... well frame. About that time, a human and girl was near death in an accident. The scientists decided to try something relatively new. They transferred her consciousness into the frame, doing two things. One, saving her from death and two, it make the project a success. She could fully harness the powers of her frame.
About a half a year later, a young boy was also at the brink of death. He was... the head scientist's son. The scientist didn't want to lose his son so he did the same thing. Only this time, something was different. Instead of transferring the consciousness like as was originally intended, the scientist transferred the soul of his son into a frame. The soul does not contain memories nor personality, so he was slightly... different... than before. Is that right?" Rei asked Dr Hikari. Dr Hikari nodded.
"Yes, you are correct." Dr Hikari said. Protoman tried to take in all the info at once.
"That's very interesting. But what does that have to do with you?" Protoman asked. Rei sighed.
"I'll tell you but you need to promise not to tell anyone." Protoman nodded. "Alright. I am the young boy who was transferred to the net." Rei said, looking down. Protoman thought about this and suddenly something clicked in his mind.
"He calls Dr Hikari 'Papa'..." Protoman mused softly to himself. His eyes widened, not that anyone could actually see that.
"You're... Lan!" Protoman exclaimed in shock. Rei nodded.
"Yes. I am."
Terms:
Dark soul- A temporary change caused by unknowingly activating a dark chip while feeling extreme anger. The user becomes a dark navi for a little while.
Woohoo! Another chapter done! Now Protoman knows Rei's secret too! So how will Protoman react? Hopefully he won't react as badly as Megaman did. What would Rei do if Protoman did react like Megaman?
Find out the answers to these questions and more on the next chapter!!!
So Review please!!! Reviews are very helpful to me and make me feel a lot better knowing someone likes this story.
Thanks to my close buddy Geoff for the whole Dark Soul idea and info.
