Disclaimer: Well let's see, eggs, check! Applesauce, check! Legal document noting I don't own Megaman and co. and Kirby but I own things I made up, check! On with the story! A/N: Zack has become Alex, (me!).
Chapter 7: All right, time to train!
"ZZZZZZZZ……………" Alex was snoring on the counter of his store, waiting for his friends to come by to train. Ding Dong> "Wha-?" asked Alex dazedly. He could make out 4 fuzzy shapes. "Lan? Maylu? Chaud? Tim?" he asked groggily. "Yeah, look, either wake up or go to bed, not both," said Tim. "Oh shut up, you stupid moron," said Alex. (A/N: My friends and I usually greet each other with insults, depending on the situation.) "Okay, Tim, train Chaud. Lan, Maylu, you're with me. To the training room!"
In the training room…"All right, all right, umm, let's see, well firstly, you gotta learn to be a better fighter in the real world, because you should strive to fight every battle in Full-Synchro. Now, you can jack-in your PET's over there," said Alex, pointing to a machine connected to a monitor, "And we'll have Kirbytrain your navi's."
After everything was done and ready, Alex explained, "NetBattling is an art, well, at least it is in this fic. Art must be appreciated, and thus, you must appreciate yourself, because you will be doing an appreciative arty thingy with the appreciation and the…GOD DAMMIT! I can't explain it, but listen, I, crap…look, just follow my orders." Sweatdrop "Uh, a little off eh?" asked Lan. "Very," said Alex. "Okay, first, speed." "LAN!" "Yeah?" "Run from this line here to that line over dere, 'K?" "Uh, yeah." "GO!" Lan ran as fast as he could to the line, a screen above him showed his time: 1 min. 23 sec. "Excellent, Lan," said Alex, "That's good time, but of course, what did I expect from you, you're constantly skating." Lan nodded. "Maylu, your turn," said Alex.
Time: 2 min. 3 sec. "Well, that's also pretty good, you just gotta learn to run a little faster," said Alex, "Alright, before we start practicing, it's microwaving time!" "Uh, microwaving?" asked Lan. "Oh, crap! I keep forgetting how to say umm, microwave, I mean, CRAP! This is what I get from not studying Japanese enough!" Alex looks in language book, "Ooohhhhh, meditating time!"
Meanwhile, in the sword room…"So, Chaud, ready?" Chaud nodded nervously; he was holding a metal shinai (is that how you spell it?)
Let's break for a sec. In Kendo, from what I know, a shinai is a wooden sword with no sharpness value, it just hurts to get hit with it, but metal? Ow.>
Gulp "Why the metal shinai?" asked Chaud. "Real swordplay is more painful than getting hit with a wooden sword, but seeing as I don't want your limbs cut, we'll use metal shinai," said Tim.
As their training started, Chaud instantly realized that all that Full-Synchro training with Protoman paid off, he could use the shinai quite well.
25 minutes later…
Huff Puff "Whoa, good…job…Chaud…" huffed Tim. "Now," he said, his breath back, "You and Protoman, go Full-Synchro and then jack-in to that machine," he said, indicating a large monitor. Upon jacking-in, Chaud noticed containers. Tim's face appeared in a window, "Chaud, in those containers are viruses that Alex engineered, they are sword only and very tough, delete them to continue."
The first virus appeared, a swordy. A SwordyDSX to be exact. "Whoa, Proto, let's scan it," said Chaud. On ProtoMan's visor, wording appeared:
VIRUS: SWORDYDSX
HP: 1,200
ATTACK: 350
AURAS: YES
TYPE: DARKAURA
AURA STRENGTH: 250
AURA ELEMENT: DARKSANCTUARY
REGENERATIVE: YES
REGEN TIME: 25 SECONDS
ATTACK RANGE: 2 PANELS DEEP, 2 PANELS WIDE
DANGER ASSESMENT: MAXIMUM FORCE SUGGESTED; INEXPERIENCE WILL RESULT IN BRUTAL DELETION
"Well, Proto, let's go to work."
The swordy was truly a tough virus, Chaud was in deepshit by the time he had the Swordy's HP down to half. Chaud had used 3 PA's, and 14 chips, he was definitely close to losing. "Dammit!" he thought, "7 chips left, no PA's left, the remaining chips are Recovery chips and I want to prove to myself I don't need them." Suddenly, Chaud saw an opening, the swordy always attacked from the center panel, and he always hit the top two rows, Chaud knew what to do. 'Protoman, this is our last attack chip, StepWdeSwrd, position within stiking range, 2 panels away on the center row, then block with your shield, then have him start an attack again, only this time, the moment he raises his sword, use the chip. That should score us a counter hit, and time to bash our sword through his head,' thought Chaud. (Full-Synchro, for those who don't know, fuses body and mind of NetOp and navi, having them share damage, therefore, if in Full-Synchro when the navi is deleted, so is the operators, uh mind? Sumthin' like that)
They pulled it off perfectly. "YES!" yelled Chaud through ProtoMan's mouth. "Next victim!" "Good," said Tim, "But you don't get to heal, now, you've gotta fight two viruses at once, but this is the last battle. In other words, beat them and BladeMan will officially train you."
Two viruses came out, and Chaud knew at once that this battle was gonna be hell…
With Alex, Lan, and Maylu…"Okay, meditation time over," said Alex, "Trainy time now."
"Lan, put your shirt on and jack-in to that machine," said Alex.
Lan blushed, he and Maylu had gotten bored during meditation, so they used their energy for their own "meditation", which was making out and getting half naked. Maylu pulled her bra and shirt on and watched intently, slightly blushing.
Lan jacked-in and was greeted by KirbyV2. "Yo." "…Yo."
Ahead, Megaman saw four viruses, oh boy, guess who? A navi that looked like the LifeVirus, and navi that looked like Gospel, a navi that looked like AlphaOmega, and a navi that looked like DuoOmega. "Yeesh, I gonna get my ass kicked," said Megaman jokingly.
Outside in the real world...
Agirl stood at the entrance to the training room…her navi laughing crazily for no reason. "Shade. Shade! SHADE! SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!" she yelled.
The navi abruptly stopped. "Sorry," it said sheepishly, it looked up and saw the monitor, "Whoa, aliens…" The girl sighed, "What am I gonna do with you?" "Applesauce?" "…No…"
"Hey Alex!" yelled Kirby, "There's…" He was cut off by Alex, "I know, I've known for 5 minutes."
Alex turned around smiling and stared at the door, they were underground, which meant no light, through the shadows he called, knowing what was there, "Shadow, nice to see you again. But, ahh,should I use Shadow? 'Cause I know it's you..."
…
'Crap, he knows who I am…' she thought.
…
"Mae… So come out now, will you……?" Alex said, smiling.
End Chapter 7. Phew! Another down! Well, time to clear the air, Tim and Mae are friends from my school, Shade doesn't really belong to me seeing as Mae created it and finally, BladeMan belongs to Tim, since he came up with him. Oh yeah, Mae was not copying ShadeMan, nor was she copying his symbol (a bat), so with that outta the way, review and wait for the next chapter! Mwa ha ha ha ha!
