My own Battle Network story
Chapter 24. – Musical Madness final act.
People returned sitting on their seats. I stood on the stage
Final act.
It was 5:43 pm. We had an hour before the mission. We decided to prepare ourselves with the greatest in power, Mrs. Hikari's delicious super duper loaded spaghetti! It tasted very good, and everyone, including Mr. Hikari enjoyed the spaghetti.
Dex: I always knew Mrs. Hikari would make this to get us ready for the mission!
Brandon: Hmmm! Pasta! Food! The fuel for the heart!
Lan: Mom! You are the best in making Curry and spaghetti!
Mrs. Hikari: Well, I know. Thanks for it. I will make more until everyone of you is full!
Yai: Well, I guess I won't eat a lot. I'm watching my diet.
Thori: Yai…
Yai: Just kidding! Let's eat!
Thori: That's the spirit!
Everyone was happy and getting ready for action… but I wasn't…
Maylu: Uh? Are you Okay Aldo?
Aldo: Me? … I'm okay…
Suddenly, the ringing of my PET resonated with an artificial bell ring.
Frogashi.Exe: You got a call from Ginger.
Aldo: Ginger? Just a second.
I stood up and headed to my room. There I was going to be able to talk privately. So I took grip of my PET and pressed the answer button opening a video screen.
Aldo: Ginger?
Ginger: Hi. We need to talk.
Aldo: To… talk?
Ginger: You know what I'm talking about… meet me at ACDC Park at midnight.
Aldo: But…
Ginger: We'll meet there… I'll be waiting.
Aldo: Ginger…
She hang up… she sounded pretty serious…
Aldo: Ginger…
And with Ginger, after she released the hang up button, she placed her PET on her bed. She got closer to the window of her room as she saw the sunset.
Song: "Wish I could love" ("Wish I could stay" from Buffy the vampire slayer O.M.W.F. musical episode)
Ginger:
I think I'm in love
God, how can you be?
Playing with my heart's content
You know I've been through hell
Aldo don't you see?
There'll be nothing left of me?
You made me believe
Aldo:
Believe me I just want to say
Ginger/Aldo:
And it'll grieve me 'cause I love you so
But we both know
Aldo:
Wish I could say
The right words to make you understand
Wish we could be together
Together by our hands
Ginger:
Wish I could trust that you say yes to me must I must do what I must
I can't adjust this sorrow
Happiness and I just
Ginger/Aldo:
Wish I could love
Wish I could love
Wish I could love
Wish I could
Love you
Song ends.
After a while, it was time for the mission. I stood in front of my laptop after I installed the Space Banner.
Frogashi.Exe: Are you ready?
Aldo: … Uh? Yes.
Frogashi.Exe: It is Ginger, isn't it?
Aldo: ……
Frogashi.Exe: Look, I'm no councilor, but I wanna tell you something. Just do what your heart tells you.
Aldo: … Thank you…
Frogashi.Exe: Whoa! Don't get all sentimental on me. Anyways, are you gonna jack me in?
Aldo: Sorry, I forgot. Jack in! Frogashi.Exe! Transmit!
I pulled the jack plug in my PET and plugged it jacking Frogashi in. Then he went to the link, where all the others were waiting.
Megaman.Exe: Hey Frogashi! What happened?
Lan: Is there something wrong?
Aldo: Nothing. Nothing's wrong.
Lan: If you say so…
Meanwhile at Xavier corp.
Xavier was looking at the big window of his office. The entire city was like a Broadway musical. He closed the curtains as he sat on his desk.
Suddenly, a pop up window popped on his screen with Harpuia on screen.
Harpuia.Exe: Master Xavier.
Xavier: How is the plan going?
Harpuia.Exe: Musicman's plan is working. Megaman and is friends are being lured into the Sharo satellite network.
Xavier: Good… Megaman and I… we will be one…
Harpuia.Exe: Master?
Xavier: Just a thought… Keep me updated.
Harpuia.Exe: Yes sir!
The link broke leaving Xavier in the darkness of his office.
But Harpuia, going through the network, had this weird feeling.
Harpuia.Exe: The master and Megaman? Being one? Phantom's right… there's something going on here… the REAL cause of why the master wants Megaman… Can it be?
Back to the Sharo Network.
We made it fine. The entire place was infested by viruses.
Frogashi.Exe: Virus madness update! Melodies everywhere!
Aldo: Get ready everyone!
Lan: Right! Megaman! Spreader! Battlechip in! Download!
Megaman.Exe: Take this!
Megaman fired the spreader in a rain of energy blasting the melodies.
Iceman.Exe: Cyber-Blizzard!
The melodies froze solid.
Gutsman.Exe: Gutshammer!
The shockwave created by the Gutshammer shattered the ice blocks to pieces deleting the melodies.
Roll.Exe: Rollarrow!
Roll fired an arrow piercing the melodies into one place.
Chaud: Protoman! Mamasume! Battlechip In! Download!
Protoman used Mamasume and slashed the gathered melodies.
Brandon: Foxman! Use FoxDolls!
Foxman scattered Kunais around the battlefield, and the Kunais turned into copies of himself that rushed to attack the melodies.
Aldo: Frogashi! Fightersword! Battlechip in! Download!
Frogashi's right arm turned into a thick blade slashing multiple melodies.
All the melodies were gone… but it was way to easy…
Chaud: It isn't over yet…
Lan: That was too easy…
???: Bravo, bravo! An excellent performance!
A green Netnavi came from the darkness clapping his hands and grinning. Golden musical notes covered his body armor.
Megaman.Exe: Are you the responsible for this?
???: just let me introduce myself. My name is Musicman.Exe.
Frogashi.Exe: Musicman? You are the making us dance!
Musicman.Exe: I have seen the feelings of people through their ways to sing and dance, and let me tell you. I have quite some delightful secrets of all of you… Love… Happiness… and Sorrow…
Megaman.Exe: … Shut up!
Lan: Megaman?!?
Megaman.Exe: You wanna see? Then let's battle!
Musicman.Exe: That sounds like a challenge blue boy. Show me what you got.
Megaman stepped forward as he stood facing Musicman… suddenly, a soft piano beat resonated… a music battle.
Song: "Something to sing about" ("Something to sing about" from Buffy the vampire slayer O.M.W.F. musical episode.)
Megaman.Exe:
Life's a show and we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts
It's all right if some things come out wrong
We'll sing a happy song
And you can sing along
"Musicman waved his right arm summoning Melodies to attack Megaman. Lan used a Cybersword to help Megaman as he slashed the melodies singing. Megaman wasn't able to do it alone, so Roll and Glyde stood behind Megaman as he sang"
Megaman.Exe:
Where there's life, there's hope
Every day's a gift
Wishes can come true
Whistle while you work
So hard
All day
To be like other guys
To fit in this glittering world
Don't give me songs
Don't give me songs
Give me something to sing about
Roll.Exe/Glyde.Exe:
"Chorus"
About
Megaman.Exe:
I need something to sing about
"Musicman looked at Megaman with a face like "Nope. No ideas" and Megaman danced fast with a fast electric guitar beat, but it returned to a normal guitar beat as he sang."
Megaman.Exe:
Life's a song you don't get to rehearse
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse
Still my friends don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for
All the joy life sends
Family and friends
All the twist and bends
Knowing that it ends
Well that
Depends
On if they let you go
On if they know enough to know
That when you bowed
You leave the crowd
"Megaman was about to continue, but suddenly, the nice beat stopped and changed for a single slow sad piano ad Musicman grinned. Megaman's face changed into a concerned one… as he sang… we stood in a new feeling… his sorrow…"
Megaman.Exe:
There was no pain
No fear no doubt
Till they pulled me out of heaven
So that's my refrain
I live in hell
'Cause I've been expelled from heaven
I think I was in heaven…
"The sad tune returned to the one when Megaman was asking for what to sing."
Megaman.Exe:
So give me something to sing about
"Musicman still had the look"
Megaman.Exe:
Please give me something…
"The others stood to Megaman with a face of guilt… Megaman had no choice but to dance… he didn't have anything to sing about. He danced faster and faster as smoke started coming from him… the automated voice informed Megaman's state: "Warning, Data overload" it repeated it faster and faster… Megaman was going to be… But before that, Protoman stepped in and took grip of Megaman's forearm stopping him."
Protoman.Exe:
Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss
Life is just this: it's living
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal by living
You have to go on living
So one of us is living
Song ends.
Musicman clapped his hands.
Musicman.Exe: Bravo again! That was emotive!
Roll.Exe: Get out of here! You see that Megaman has suffered enough?!?
Musicman.Exe: Whoa! Take it easy missy! I just want to tell you… your emotive song is stronger than any other I have heard during this musical madness…
Frogashi.Exe: Explain yourself!
Musicman.Exe: Guess what, you beat the bad guy. Melodies! Leave this place!
The rest of the melodies disappeared in the air.
Musicman.Exe: And I'll be going. There will be still a few signals after I leave, so the singing will be gone in a while. And Megaman, I know your sorrow. If you change your mind, Master Xavier will be waiting for you.
Megaman.Exe: ………
Musicman.Exe:
What a lot of fun
You guys have been swell
And there's not a one
Who can say this ended well
All those secrets you've been concealing
Say you're happy now
Once more with feeling
Well I gotta run
See ya all in hell
"Musicman.Exe, Logging out"
Roll.Exe: He's gone…
Song: "Where do we go from here?"("Where do we go from here" from Buffy the vampire slayer O.M.W.F. musical episode)
Roll.Exe/Maylu:
Where do we go from here?
Lan/Megaman.Exe:
Where do we go from here?
Aldo/Frogashi.Exe:
The battle's done and we kind of won
Yai/Glyde.Exe/Brandon/Foxman.Exe:
So we sound our victory cheer
Where do we go from here?
Dex/Gutsman.Exe/Thori/Iceman.Exe:
Why is the path unclear?
When we know home is near?
Group:
Understand we'll go hand by hand
But we'll walk alone in fear
Aldo/Frogashi.Exe:
Tell me
Group:
Where do we go from here?
When does "The End" appear?
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close on a kiss---
God knows
We can tell the end is near
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go…
From here?
Song ends.
After jacking out, we went back to our daily routines… but I had unfinished businesses with Ginger… Midnight at ACDC Park it was time…
Ginger was at the park with a very concerned face…
Aldo: Ginger…
Ginger: Aldo…
Song: "I just wanna feel"("Coda" from Buffy the vampire slayer O.M.W.F. musical episode)
Aldo:
I touch my heart and it freezes me…
Ginger:
I thought… My heart was all the same…
Aldo:
I look into it and it's black
This isn't real but I just want to…
Ginger:
But you can make me…
Aldo/Ginger:
Feel…
" I felt Ginger's warm hand on my cheek as we got closer… my first kiss with Ginger… it felt…"
Song ends.
Ginger: So?…
Aldo: Ginger… I… I cannot love you…
Ginger: What?
Aldo: I can protect those ones in need, but I cannot protect those one I love forever…
Ginger: Aldo…
Aldo: Please Ginger… Understand…
Ginger: I… I understand… "Sniff"
Ginger turned away and ran to the darkness of the street going away from the park's light.
Aldo: Ginger…
Song: ………
Group:
Where do we go from here?
The curtains dropped leaving me in the park in darkness…
