My own Battle Network story.

Chapter 22. – Musical Madness.

Everyone who is going to read this stands in a line to enter into the Venice opera theater. Posters of the story hanging around the outside and the inside of the place. That only meant one thing, the musical of the story! The main characters including myself standing outside on the red carpet as we sign photos, posters, soundtracks and many other stuff of the story.

I just signed Bookman's book. "To Bookman, a dear advisor, Wiseman, reader and friend. Finalzidane-X"

Lan posing with Maylu for DenTeens magazine, Dex being interviewed by Ribitta for the events section of her show and Yai attending calls with her PET. Megaman being interviewed for Popular Mechanics magazine as the perfect Netnavi.

Viktor Ishtar who was really alive in real life and the Xavier corp group. Even Chaud trying to sneak between the hordes of girls about to rip his clothes off.

Ginger giving some details of her progress for the Gustaff Battle Ride Armor for Tron.

Brandon got lucky of being with three super models… Anyways, everyone was getting inside and taking their seats.

I stand on a stage and I bow to welcome the readers to this event.

Finalzidane-X: Welcome Everyone! In a few minutes, the special musical chapter of "My own Battle Network" will begin. Musical madness is about… everyone singing and dancing! We have been rehearsing the songs and choreography for some weeks, and looks like Dex lost some weight. Anyways, this will also be about Ginger and me opening our feelings as I take the choice of saying yes or no.

Ginger: Is it time? Can I go out?

Finalzidane-X: Too early! Get back there! Hm hm! I wanna thank many people who have gave me the motivation to continue this story and surpass the max number of Chapters for an entire story. For "Megaman X: Rondo of blood" there were 15 chapters. I hope that Windrider is here today, and I can see Bookman on the first row! Hi Bookman! Well, we are ready to begin. Hope you enjoy the musical as I enjoyed writing it!

I run to the back of the stage as the curtains raised.

Act 1

I was about to Jack in to check the surrounding Network area.

Aldo: All right! Jack in! Frogashi.Exe! Transmit!

Frogashi got out of the Hikari house server and walked to the Network road.

Song: "Going through the motions." ("Going through the motions from Buffy the vampire slayer Once more with feeling episode.)

Frogashi.Exe:

Every single day

The same arrangement

We go out and fight the fight

Still we always feel this strange estrangement

Nothing here is real

Nothing here is right

"Smacks Metool virus."

He's been making shows of Battlechips

Just hoping no one finds

That we've been

Going through the motions

Walking through the part

Nothing seems to delete our hearts

We were always brave

And kind of righteous

Now I find we're wavering

"Finds Bass.Exe"

Appear from nowhere

You'll find this fight just

Doesn't mean a thing

"Tries to slash Bass with a Cybersword"

Bass.Exe:

They ain't got that swing

"Punches Frogashi back and falls to the ground."

Frogashi.Exe:

Thanks for noticing

"Bass, Pharaohman and Shadowman start dancing"

Bass.Exe, Pharaohman.Exe, Shadowman.Exe:

They do pretty well with network fiends

But lately we can tell

That they're just going through the motions

Faking it somehow

"Frogashi deletes Bass and Pharaohman and stabs Shadowman.

Shadowman.Exe:

They're not even half the team they're--- ow…

Frogashi.Exe:

Will we stay this way forever?

Sleepwalk through our life's endeavor

Beautiful female rich looking Navi:

How can we repay you---

Frogashi.Exe:

-Buzz off

We don't wanna be

Going through the motions

Losing our drives

We can't even see

Our full synchro

And we just wanna be

Alive

"Song ends."

Next day at school.

Aldo: So that got pretty weird. Suddenly we were singing and three evil viruses started singing and dancing.

Lan: That's weird… Megaman started dancing too during our training.

Gutsman.Exe: And wait to hear what Dex was singing…

Dex: Gutsman…

Gutsman.Exe: Sorry…

Maylu: I never heard Roll singing so nice

Roll.Exe: I was like a diva!

Thori: But you don't wanna hear Iceman singing.

Iceman.Exe: What? I placed all my feelings there!

Thori: He he. Just kidding Iceman!

Brandon: … I heard How Dex sang. He was…

Dex raised his big fist.

Brandon: You know what, Never mind…

Ginger: So… Thanks for the other day.

Aldo: No problem. It was our duty.

Ginger: So… Have you been thinking about my proposal?

Aldo: What? Oh… that…

Ginger: You don't need to answer right away. I'll see ya!

Ginger turned away.

Aldo: Geez…

Lan: Don't tell me that…

Aldo: What?!? It… It isn't what you think!

Dex: Yeah right…

Brandon: Hello? Go back to the topic! Why are we singing and dancing?

Song: "I got a theory/ Cyber Bunnies" ("I've got a theory/ Bunnies/ If we're together" from Buffy the vampire slayer Once more with feeling episode.)

Thori:

I got a theory

That is a virus

A dancing virus –nyehh, something isn't right there

Maylu:

I got a theory

Some kid is dreamin'

And we're all stuck inside this wacky Broadway nightmare

Dex:

I got a theory we should work this out

Maylu, Dex Yai:

It's getting eerie

What's this cheery singing all about?

Dex:

It could be witches!

"Points at Myu who appeared from nowhere and she has a face like "What am I doing here?"

Dex:

Some evil witches

Which is ridiculous 'cause witches they were persecuted Wicca good and love the earth and woman power and I'll be over here

Brandon:

I got a theory

Cyber bunnies

"Cricket silence"

Yai:

I got a---

Lights turn at Brandon's side with heavy electric guitar beats and a single spotlight.

Brandon:

Cyber bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes

They got them hoppy legs and zappy electric rings

And what's with all the viruses

What do they need such electricity for anyway?

Bunnies, bunnies

Cyber bunnies

"Extended silence as everyone stares at Brandon"

Brandon:

Or maybe Metools

Aldo:

I got a theory we should work this fast

Thori, Aldo:

Because it clearly could get serious before it's passed

"Soft Acoustic guitar beat"

Lan:

I got a theory

It doesn't matter

What can we face if we're together

What's in this place that we can't weather

WWW

We've all been there

The same old trips

Why should we care?

Group:

What can't we do if we get in it?

We'll work it through within a minute

We have to try

We'll pay the price

It's do or die

Megaman.Exe:

I got deleted once

Group:

What can't face if we're together

Thori:

-What can we face

Group:

What's in this place that we can't weather

Thori:

-If we're together

Group:

There's nothing we can't face

Brandon: Except for Cyber bunnies…

"Song ends."

Aldo: Whoa…

Lan: Again…

Brandon: And I don't know where the hell I got that idea of the bunnies.

Dex: Anyways, what about Myu?

Myu was gone.

Dex: Oh…

Maylu: What can be causing this mess?

Thori: But surely it was moving.

Aldo: You got that one right.

Lan: We better stay in contact in just something happens.

Aldo: Got it.

Maylu: Right.

Thori: Got you.

Dex: Yes.

Brandon: Hmm… Fine.

Yai: Okay.

Aldo: Question. What happens to the ones who can't sing?

Meanwhile in the Undernet…

There was a Healnavi dancing tap. It wasn't able to sing anymore, so it danced and danced.

"Warning, Data overload. Warning, Data overload… Netnavi Deleted"

A dark green Navi stepped out of the darkness looking at the remains of the trash data that was the Healnavi.

???: Hmmm. That's more like it… Dancing with style.

The greenish Navi grinned as he chuckled.

End of Act 1.

Everyone on the seats claps as I go out the curtain.

Finalzidane-X: Huff! That was tiring… Anyways, short break until Act 2. So you can go get some snacks, go to the restroom, or leave your opinion at the posting board. (Post it here.) Next act will have more choreography. I still remember Lan with those pink tights.

Lan: You promised you wouldn't tell!

Finalzidane-X: Oops! "Uses author powers and puffs Lan from the stage" Now he won't remember a thing. Anyways, stick close for Act 2.
