My own Battle Network story
Chapter 23. – Musical madness act 2.
After a while, I stand in front of the people on stage again.
Finalzidane-X: Sorry for the little delay. We had a few technical problems.
Dex: Hey! I need more calories! My belly still doesn't reach my last measurement!
Finalzidane-X: Get inside! Hm hm. Nice of you people to still stay here. I talked to Bookman a while ago… everyone stood at him weirdly… Don't feel like an idiot Bookman. I have a worshipping fan in for my Megaman X Rondo of blood story, so stop trying to duck like you are ding right now, so relax and drink your soda. Well, is everyone ready? Here we go! Act 2! Enjoy!
I ran behind the curtain as before. The curtains rose up revealing the same place where we were at the end of act 1.
ACT 2
Aldo: Still, maybe we need to check if it is just us…
Lan: Why don't you check outside of the window to the street?
Aldo: Good idea.
So I went by the window at the wall on my right and peeked outside… my eyes won't believe what I saw…
Song: "The mustard" ("The mustard from Buffy the vampire slayer O.M.W.F. musical episode)
Man:
They got the mustard out
Chorus:
They got the mustard out!
Song ends.
I peeked my head back inside as I turned with a disturbed face to the others.
Aldo: ……… It's not just us.
After a while, Chisao who got home after school rushed inside of Dex's house with a happy face.
Chisao: Brudder! You won't believe what happened at school today!
Dex: Everybody started singing and dancing?
Chisao: …… and I gave birth to a pterodactyl…
Brandon: Oh my god! Did it sing?
Chisao: This seems to happen everywhere brudder. Did you sing too?
Dex: What do you expect?
Chisao: I see…
Thori: I got an idea. I will check the Virus database in my laptop from Scilab's server to see if a Virus s responsible for this.
Brandon: I wanna help. Can I?
Thori: Sure Brandon.
Maylu: I better stay… I don't wanna see everyone dancing.
Yai: Me too, you might need Glyde.
Lan: Then I guess that Aldo, Dex and me will go around. Wanna come guys?
Dex: Sure. I don't like this tetchy stuff.
Aldo: We might find a clue. Okay.
Lan: Then see ya later guys.
Maylu: See ya.
Dex, Lan and me left Dex's house to tale a walk around ACDC to find some clues of what's going on. We were going just in front of Higsby's store.
Aldo: So what is causing this? I can hear Higsby singing… and I don't wanna know…
Lan: Yeah, he sings like a dying cat.
Dex: Can we go now? Or we're gonna listen to this all day?
So finally we took more steps to avoid Higsby's singing.
Aldo: So, any plans to find out what's really going on?
Dex: I got a plan!
Suddenly, a Gloria Stefan type old song resonated in the air as Dex started dancing shaking his hips and waving his arms as he closed his eyes.
Aldo: Should we leave him?
Lan: Yes. He's hopeless…
So we left Dex behind.
As we walked away, the song faded from our ears.
Aldo: That was close…
Lan: That's a disturbing image I want to erase from my memory right now…
Aldo: I understand…
We kept walking, and as we walked, our little chat faded in the air as a girl was being given a parking ticket.
Song: "Parking ticket" ("Parking ticket" from Buffy the vampire slayer O.M.W.F. musical episode)
Girl:
I've been having a bad, bad day
Come on, won't you put hat PET away
I'm asking you please no
It isn't right it isn't fair
There was no parking anywhere
I think that hydrant wasn't there
Why can't you let it go?
I think I paid more than my share
I'm just a poor girl don't you care
Hey I'm not wearing underwear
Song ends.
Meanwhile, with Ginger and Tron…
Ginger: I guess this is some kind of thing going on that everyone is singing…
Tron.Exe: Yeah, the Servbots suddenly gathered and started a musical number right now.
There were Servbots inside of Ginger's PC singing and dancing a number from CATS, even with a chibi version of the cat's costumes.
Ginger: Hope you can deal with it Tron.
Tron.Exe: What? "Removes an earpiece from her ears."
Ginger: Never mind… "Sighs"
Tron.Exe: What is it? You look sad…
Ginger: No… it is about Aldo. What is he singing right now?
Tron.Exe: Uh? Why would you even bother?
Ginger: You know Tron, maybe there's something more than spoil love relationships at will just for fun.
Song: "I think I'm in love" ("I'm under your spell" from Buffy the vampire slayer O.M.W.F. musical episode)
Ginger:
I lived my life in fortune
Always so cold on my face
It seemed so sad, though
I figured out that was my place
Now I'm bathed in warmth
Something just isn't right
I think I'm in love
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me
It's magic I can tell
How he set me free
Brought me in so easily
I saw a world of wealthy
Pennies and quarters in the air
I always took for granted
I wasn't going anywhere
But his resolve shone
Brighter than any I've known
I think I'm in love
Nothing I can do
He just took my soul with his
He worked his charm so well
Finally I knew
Everything I wanted was true
He made me believe
The moon to the tide
I can feel him inside
I think I'm in love
Surging like the sea
Pulled to him so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost into my dreams
Spread thru a garden maze
He made me believe
He made me complete
He made me complete
He made me complete
Song ends.
Tron.Exe: Whoa! I never knew you would sing so well!
Ginger I know… I just thought of him and it came like my breaths.
Tron.Exe: So what are you going to do?
Ginger: I will call him tonight to meet me in the park. Then we can talk there. Now I need that yes or no.
Meanwhile at the Hikari residence…
Mr. Hikari was reading the newspaper. The headline was "ACDC a Broadway musical?" a full report by Ribitta. Mrs. Hikari stepped in front of him with a cup of coffee.
Mr. Hikari: Oh! Thanks honey. I need it.
Mrs. Hikari: So my scientist, still any logical reason of why everyone is singing?
Mr. Hikari: But you sound really nice when you sing.
Mrs. Hikari: That was when I was cleaning Lan's room.
Mr. Hikari: Still you are good.
Song: "Sing with me" ("See ya in hell" from Buffy the vampire slayer O.M.W.F. musical episode)
Mr. Hikari:
Look at how much fun
We had in our past
And there's not a one
Who can say we can't have fun
All those strophes you have inside
Release them now
Once more with feeling
Well we gotta sing
So how about
If you sing with me
If you sing with me
Song ends.
Mrs. Hikari: Well, I might sing with you… Which song?
Mr. Hikari: Uh?
Mrs. Hikari grinned with an evil looking face.
Mr. Hikari: Oh uh…
Meanwhile with Lan and me…
Lan: Then that's when Dex screamed like a little girl when we went to the Vampire manor.
Aldo: Is it that scary? I gotta try it someday.
Lan: You're gonna like Castillo!
Aldo: I bet it.
Megaman.Exe: But the Toyrobos Cyberworlds are not so nice.
Frogashi.Exe: I'll take the advice. So many things to do when you're alive.
Megaman.Exe: Yeah… when you're alive…
Lan: What's wrong Megaman?
Megaman.Exe: Uh? Nothing.
Lan: Are you sure?
Megaman.Exe: Yeah!
Lan: If you say so.
Aldo: Something wrong with Megaman?
Lan: I have the feeling that something has been going on since we recovered him when he was deleted.
Aldo: Isn't that for a single backup?
Lan: The deletion level was so advanced that a single backup wasn't enough. We had to use the only copy of his basic frame to regenerate him to fight Pharaohman. I still remember the moment… When Megaman woke up, he was like senseless… then Roll found him…
"Flashback'
Roll.Exe: Megaman! That was awesome! Megaman?
Megaman turned to Roll with a sad face…
Megaman.Exe: ………Is this Hell?
Roll.Exe: I don't know what you're talking about… but I'm glad you're back!
Roll ran and hugged Megaman so hard…
Roll.Exe: All of us thought you were gone!
She said these words with tears on her cheeks.
"Back to the present"
Aldo: I see…
Lan: But I still keep it as a secret…
Aldo: Then I'll keep it as a secret.
Lan: Thanks…
Aldo: No problem.
It was a promise… but Megaman's secret was going to be revealed later…
Meanwhile at the Dencity Police Department…
Chaud was sitting on his desk checking the numerous cases of criminals singing.
Protoman.Exe: Still can't take it sir?
Chaud: Of course… they're annoying…
Protoman.Exe: As you say sir.
Suddenly, chief Oda came to Chaud's office.
Oda: Chaud!
Chaud: Sir?
Oda: We have been informed by an anonymous e-mail about what's going on here. Something's up at the Sharo space research center.
Chaud: And you want me to handle the case?
Oda: You are the only officer available, just look at the others…
All the other cops were singing YMCA…
Chaud: Right. I'll handle it.
Oda: I can always count on you Chaud.
Protoman.Exe: Looks like a mission sir.
Chaud: Still, who is responsible for this musical madness? Besides the author of this story…
Finalzidane-X: Follow your script!
Chaud: Sheez… Anyways, we better investigate the place.
Protoman.Exe: Sir! Viruses heavily guard the entire Sharo space network! And they're all Melody virus sir!
Chaud: his could be bad… we need help…
Protoman.Exe: and all reinforcements are singing…
Chaud: I know who can help…
A few hours later…
We went back to Dex's house.
Aldo: We're back.
Dex: I got here already.
Lan: How long did you sing?
Dex: like for fifteen minutes…
Aldo: Ouch…
Maylu: Any clues?
Lan: Nope.
Thori: We found some info that might help.
Brandon: The only type of virus that is related to this is Melody. That's what the database says.
Aldo: Oh! Brandon knows!
Brandon: What? I'm not an idiot! I'm very cunning when I really get into it!
Aldo: I know… Sheez…
Suddenly, the front door knocked.
Lan: I'll see who it is.
Lan went to the front door and peeked thru the peeking hole on the door… it was Chaud. Lan opened the door.
Lan: Chaud! What's going on?
Chaud: I'm here for information. And I need help.
Maylu: What's going on?
Suddenly, a drum roll with an upbeat of an upcoming song resonated in the air inside of the house.
Aldo: Oh no… Chaud's gonna sing!
Megaman.Exe: what?!? I need to hear this!
Lan: Hey everyone! Chaud's gonna sing!
All: What?!?
Song:…
Chaud: There is a virus invading the Sharo space research center and it's using the satellite to send subliminal signals to make everyone sing and dance. We need to jack into the signal of the satellite and eliminate the virus to stop this Broadway mania.
Lan: What?
Chaud: I know it is a risky mission, but it is the only choice.
Lan: No! You didn't sing!
Chaud: I'm not mentally weak to succumb to simple subliminal signals.
Aldo: Whoa… Chaud's like a Jedi…
Chaud: Not close enough.
Brandon: So we jack in and stop it, right?
Chaud: We can use a this link.
Chaud handed us the banners of the space research center.
Chaud: Everyone go to your PC and access this link. We'll meet in the main network of the Sharo Space research center at 1900 sharp.
Brandon: Uh?
Aldo: He means 7:00 pm…
Brandon: Oh…
Chaud: Don't be late.
End of act 2.
Curtains fall and I walk to the stage with the same outfit of that moment.
Finalzidane-X: Well, Act 2 had more songs than Act 1. I really wanted to use the songs from Buffy the vampire slayer Once more with feeling soundtrack because they already had a basic outline. I just changed a few stuff like adding PET to "the parking ticket" I wanna thank the people that has read the story, because I have almost 400 views in the topic! The story with most views at the Fanfiction section! Yay!! I see that bookman is jaw opened for seeing that Chaud was about to sing… but it will wear away soon. Now you may do the same thing you did during the first break until the final act of the musical. Please relax as we try to catch our breaths and get ready for Act 3! Anyways, act 3 will have Megaman's secret… which will bring more drama to the relationship to Megaman.
