My own Battle Network story.

My dairy.

Today was the opening ceremony of the Ayano Racer Grand Prix. Yai invited all of us for the competition representing Ayano Corp. First she took us to her house, Brandon and I were surprised of her mansion.

Then she took us to the living room where the couches dug deep into underground tunnels like a roller coaster. They took us to the Ayano one, Yai's personal private jet.

After flying for a few minutes, we got to Ayano Stadium, place for the Ayano Racer Grand Prix. Yai told us to head to the VIP seats to listen to her speech; she had to do it because her dad had very important businesses in Europe.

Yai's speech was awesome and everybody roared in emotion.

But remembering the roller coaster part, I was very close to Maylu we talked about it, and the conversation gave something to me, a new feeling for Maylu… Love?

Chapter 8. – The countdown before the race.

We were walking in the main hall after the speech. Of course, everyone was talking about it and the motivation everyone felt with Yai's words.

Lan: I think the speech was awesome!

Aldo: You're not the only one.

Maylu: I know that Yai can be selfish sometimes, but she has a big heart.

Lan: Especially when I helped her with the potty problem.

Brandon: Potty problem?

Lan: Yes, I won't like to talk about it…

Brandon: Oh… Ok.

Lan: Since then Yai is a friend to us. We have saved her life two times now, From Colorman and Airman.

Maylu: Remember I also in trouble by Colorman?

Lan: Yes, two lives saved that day. Potty Yai and Speed Bus Maylu without the "Go under 80 and the bus goes boom!"

Maylu: You still remember that movie?

Lan: What? Remember we made that whole racket when it was out on theatres!

Dex: Yes! I wanted to see Sandra Bullock!

Lan: Yes! Don't blame us! We were just eight! Even before we met Thori!

Thori: You saw Speed?

Lan: Yes. Why?

Thori: I never seen that movie in my life… I have seen Speed 2.

Aldo: The one with the boat?

Dex: And Sandra Bullock?

Lan: Dex… It's enough Sandra Bullock for you…

Dex: Aw… But I love Sandra Bullock!

Maylu: You want me to smack you?

Dex: Okay… No more Sandra Bullock…

Maylu: Thank you Dex.

Thori: We must be getting closer to the VIP Room. Yai told us to wait there.

Aldo: And talking about the king of Rome. Isn't that Yai with all those reporters?

Lan: Yes! She's Yai! And they're killing her!

Maylu: They're just microphones that you think they're stabbing her with.

Lan: I don't wanna see! The blood! The gore! Resident Evil!

Aldo: Hey! Resident Evil is a good game!

Lan: I know… It's just that you feel very different with real gory scenes than Resident Evil's.

Aldo: Hey, it's true. Somehow you feel something very different between Resident Evil and real life… I wonder why?

Maylu: Isn't it obvious? Well, I'm going ahead to help Yai.

Lan: Hey! Wait for us!

We followed Maylu getting closer to the herd of reporters wrapped around Yai like a bunch of Zombies eating a single human still creaming of the agony and pain due to the deadly T-Virus…

Frogashi: That's it! This is Megaman Battle Network! Not Resident Evil!

Aldo: What? I like it! Besides, I heard some good things of the upcoming Resident Evil 4. And nobody has reviewed my Resident Evil "Survivor" Story.

Frogashi: The one where you put all the Resident Evil main characters locked in a big mansion?

Aldo: Yup! That one.

Frogashi: I wonder why…

Aldo: Attention any readers who are reading this and like Resident Evil, Look for my Penname in the search spot at and you'll find it. I want at least one review!!! Now back to our story.

As I was saying, we followed Maylu to where the reporters where interviewing Yai. We tried to take some pressure out of her.

Reporter 1: Lady Yai, what are your expectations for the outcome of the race?

Reporter 2: Is it true that you're gonna participate in the race as a racer for Ayano Corp?

Reporter 3: We already notified Ayano Corp, Scilab, and Xavier Corp. as participant teams. There will be anymore participants for the race?

Yai: First question, I think that everyone has a chance of doing well in the race. Second question, Yes, I'll be participating in the race and Third question, yes, all those corporations will be in the race, as other local businesses like Higsby's shop and Sal's restaurant. Now if you excuse me, I gotta go get ready for the race.

We saw Yai sneaking thru the reporters and caught up with her. We talked about the different reporters.

Aldo: So… Who are those reporters?

Yai: Sight… They are the reporters of the different TV Stations in Dentech. Some of them are famous, other not…

Lan: Like Ribitta!

Aldo: Ribitta?

Lan: She's the most famous female reporter in the entire Dentech area. She has this very… kinda attractive look.

Aldo: You mean "Her"?

I pointed to a lady wearing a strange frog hat and orange hair. Her eyes were as a black-eyed pea.

Aldo: She… Her eyes… She is beautiful! Look at that Frog hat!

Maylu: She is very busy for guys anyways… After all her whole attention is concentrated to Toadman.Exe Her Netnavi. It is the cutest of the Netnavis ever!

Megaman.Exe: I'm even cuter…

Roll.Exe: Who asked you to speak about Toadman!

Megaman.Exe: Fine, Geez…

Yai: Anyway, let's head to the VIP room, I got everything ready for us.

We took the elevator at the end of the hall. The elevator interiors were transparent glass revealing the entire surroundings of the area of the stadium.

Brandon: This place surely is big.

Yai: And you haven't seen the VIP Room! I prepared everything for all of you! I even got a surprise for the guys…

Aldo: That's something I need to see…

Yai: And here we are!

The doors of the elevator opened revealing a BIG room with a view of the entire stadium. The stuff inside kept us surprised of Yai's efforts of cheering us up before the race.

Brandon: A FEAST!

Aldo: Sushi!

Lan: Fried Chicken!

Dex: Burgers and fries!

Thori: This is heaven!

Maylu: A big screen TV with MTV!

Yai: I want you guys to enjoy every minute before the race, so I also got this!

Aldo: A FOUR-PLAYER DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION MACHINE!!! Let's DDR!

Brandon: (With food muffling his words.) Sorry, but I'll pass. I think the feast sounds better than Dancing.

Aldo: What did you said?

Brandon swallows the BIG amount of food in his mouth.

Brandon: I said, Sorry, but I'll pass. I think the feast sounds better than Dancing.

Aldo: Okay, more for Lan. Dex, Thori and Me!

Time passed, and it was about to be sunset. We spent like four hours playing Dance Dance Revolution and eating. Even the Netnavis got their entertainment.

We were dancing the CRASH! Song, I was doing well, Lan was learning but Dex was doing terrible. Thori was doing EXCELLENT due to his genius kid reactions. (Think Amy Mizuno from Sailor Moon playing Sailor V.) Brandon devastated the entire table. (Think the Terminator post-Apocalyptic future environment on a table with food.) And Maylu was basically singing Karaoke with the MTV Channel.

Aldo: "1, 2 ,3 4 5 Break the doll and get out of there!"

Lan: I'm getting the hang of this! This is fun!

Dex: I think that I'm like a fish off the water!

Thori: Just calculate the electronic equations of the CPU by the amount of beats per second generated by the song.

Aldo: Just get the beat and dance it!

Thori: That works too!

Maylu: "What a girl wants! What a girl needs!"

Brandon: "Munch munch munch munch munch munch munch"

Yai came back to the room with some folders filled with papers and profiles.

Yai: Well, if you excuse me, Here I got a whole bunch of info in your opponent racers. This might be handy for you guys.

Lan: The other racers? Let me check it out!

Everyone got close to Yai who opened the folders passing different pages of info of the fellow racers.

Yai: As you see, some racers represent different corporations. And others are from local businesses.

Maylu: I get why; Higsby and Numberman are on the race…

Thori: And as well, other racers I never have seen before.

Dex: Hey guys! Check this out!

We got closer to Dex who had a strange fellow profile on his hands.

Lan: Yeah, what about it?

Dex: Have you seen whom he represents?

Maylu: That "X", Xavier Corporation!

Thori: Alexander Hernandez, one of the best racers in the world.

Aldo: I know that last name in racing! Some time ago, there was a famous Mexican racer, Adrian Hernandez!

Lan: Here it says that Alexander is the grandson of Adrian!

Maylu: That's why he's famous! And gorgeous!

Lan: Would you quit that Maylu?

Maylu: Oh, sorry Mr. I-got-no-idols-in-life Hikari! At least you must have someone you love, you don't?

Lan: Whoa! Yeah… I do… But…

Maylu: Just don't spit it out and you'll be fine.

Lan: I'll keep that in mind.

Aldo: Anymore information on Alexander?

Brandon: His Netnavi's name is Huitzil.Exe; he also has another nickname as the Aztec Falcon.

Aldo: Quite a nickname for him.

Maylu: Don't you get it guys? He's working for Xavier corp.! And Xavier corp. is one of our main suspects about who's the enemy!

Dex: Maylu's right. We better be careful of him.

Lan: But until we know of he's a bad guy, let's just race like if he's just a racer!

Yai: I hate to say it, But Lan's right. We still got no proof that Xavier corp. is the one who we shall call enemy.

Aldo: Well, just race fair and square, right?

Brandon: Sounds like it.

For now we got Alexander Hernandez on our list of suspects, but for now let's just race like if he is no bad guy.

The countdown to the race is about to reach Zero and the engines are now roaring ready for the green light to go!
