My own Battle Network story.
My dairy.
After bringing Frogashi back from the darkness, Phantom appeared and took Megaman and Frogashi… but those two were able to lose Phantom… but they were in a big desert.
After a fight, both of them split up… and both met Boba and Clay, two Netnavis who got dropped by their NetOps various years ago.
After a fight against the remains of the life virus, Megaman and Frogashi learned a lesson from Boba and Clay, and a Soul Unison bound was born between Megaman and Frogashi. The FrogSoul and the MegaSoul.
Chapter 35. – Maylu, the symphony of the night.
Two days passed since the desert experience, and we returned to school after a quick holiday break. Also training for the N-1 Grand Prix in two weeks. And Maylu would do more than training.
Aldo: So has Megaman used the FrogSoul yet?
Lan: Nah. We're waiting until we get a really good chance to use it. You know the suspense of a Soul.
Aldo: Yeah. We haven't done anything with the MegaSoul.
Lan: So are you guys training for the N-1 Grand Prix?
Dex: Oh yeah, Gutsman has been training hard for it. Right Gutsman?
Gutsman.Exe: Guts! More weight lifting guts!
Thori: Iceman has increased his endurance against fire. A request from him.
Iceman.Exe: Yeah, if you guys saw me, you would call me Aquaman, but that name has been taken already.
Iceman changed his outfit temporally for shorts and a t-shirt saying "Too cool for you" and a cap. He's just shy of showing his hair… or he's bald… any of the two…
Yai: We have been using the newest version of daddy's virtual training program. I programmed Navi Dummies of you guys to fight against virtual copies of your Netnavis.
Glyde.Exe: But I think Lady Yai needs a little more experience in the design. You need to draw the appearance of the Dummies, they looks like Picassos.
Yai: He means that in an artistic way.
All: ……….
Yai: Okay… maybe we're not getting the catch here…
Brandon: whatever… Anyways, Foxman has been improving the Fox Dolls.
Foxman.Exe: I almost crowd the entire PC.
Brandon: Experience I don't want to remember…
Foxman.Exe: Me too.
Lan: Just the basic with us. Megaman fought Frogashi a couple of times if we want to make the Soul Unison even stronger
Aldo: But where's Maylu? She isn't here yet.
Yai: She told me the music department teacher wanted to see her.
Dex: Yeah, Maylu is darn good with the Piano.
Lan: Like if she was ready for it when she was young.
Dex: Which I remember she was so distracted with the piano when Fireman started the fires around town.
Lan: Those were good times back then.
Yai: But what does the music department teacher want to talk with Maylu about?
Suddenly, Maylu came from the front door of the classroom. She looked happy with a big smile on her face as she walked to us.
Maylu: God morning everyone!
Lan: Hey Maylu! You look happy. Did something happened?
Maylu: I got picked for the piano solo for tonight's school spring concert!
Lan: That's! great!
Aldo: Congratulations Maylu!
Brandon: Good for you.
Dex: So what are you gonna play?
Maylu: After thinking it for a while, I picked "The moonlight sonata"
Lan: I think I heard that song.
Aldo: But what's the Moonlight Sonata?
Yai: I can't believe you never heard the moonlight sonata! Look, the moonlight sonata is a very complicated, but still very sentimental song. The one who plays it reveals his deep feelings in an expression of music. That's what makes the moonlight sonata so special.
Aldo: But I haven't heard it still!
After school, we decided to go to Higsby's. He decided to open a cyber-café along with the Chips store to increase his popularity.
Higsby: Hey guys.
Lan: What's up Higsby! How's the cyber-café doing?
Higsby: Is doing quiet fine for the third day. People have been coming and various bands have offered themselves to play. I know managing a Chip Store and a cyber café sounds tough, but as long as Oscar works here, it will be fine.
Oscar: Now we handle both Chip Shop and cyber café. Bookman helped me program the computers for people to use.
Bookman.Exe: It isn't so hard actually. But I'm not the one who cleans those cappuccino stains on the desks.
Aldo: Good for you guys. We'll have a round of mochas and cappuccinos.
Oscar: I'll handle this one. Mochas and Cappuccinos coming!
Lan: Thanks Oscar.
Thori: Bookman knows how to make good coffee in that machine.
Bookman.Exe: Thanks Thori.
Higsby: So any good news?
Dex: Maylu got picked for the piano solo in tonight's spring concert.
Oscar: Really? What are you gonna play?
Maylu: The moonlight sonata.
Oscar: Hmmm. One of my favorites.
Bookman.Exe: I have it set in the PET when I'm bored.
Higsby: Moonlight Sonata. A master piece.
Aldo: Why am I the only one who hasn't heard this moonlight sonata?!?
Brandon: Because you're an idiot.
Aldo: Thanks for reminding me…
Higsby: You're serious? Bloody hell! But do not worry. You'll listen to it tonight.
Aldo: Finally at last, someone who encourages me.
Higsby: So can I have that DreamSword of yours?
Aldo: You encouraged me only to get my DreamSword?
Higsby: Just kidding there.
Lan: So, how's the disc of the second project doing?
Oscar: Still the same. This thing keeps changing the password format every 5 seconds. Whatever the password is, there might be 500 passwords for each format the password changes to. Looks like Dr. Hikari really wanted to keep this secret.
Of course… I had this creepy feeling about this "second project".
We finished our coffees and went back home to get ready for the night.
Aldo: So, is there any tuxedo rental place close?
Frogashi.Exe: Is everyone going on tuxedos?
Aldo: All guys are.
I was able to hear Lan in the other room with Mr. Hikari.
Lan: Dad, I can put this on. This isn't my first time.
Mr. Hikari: But this is a very good moment for Maylu. You gotta look good. Now hold still.
Lan: Dad! I'm not 5 years old! So stop trying to touch the zip!
Typical father-son moment when the son is using a tuxedo.
After the moment, we were outside heading to the school Dex and the others caught up with us.
BGM: "Prelude" from Final Fantasy X
Frogashi.Exe: Look at you! You look like 007!
Aldo: Yeah… but 10000 Zenny… my wallet hurts…
Dex: Still, Maylu's gonna like how we look for the best moment of her life!
Lan: That's what matters. And Yai, that's a really nice dress!
Yai: Like it? I had it imported from Netopia.
Glyde.Exe: Packaging is a little complicated there, but the dress got on time.
Brandon: I don't like wearing tuxedos…
Foxman.Exe: But this is for Maylu.
Brandon: Yup. I got no choice.
Thori: I feel quite fine in this tuxedo. Of course, dad can't come because of his work.
Lan: Yeah, mine too.
Aldo: Shouldn't we be getting inside to get some seats? People are getting inside.
Lan: That's a good idea. Let the show begin!
So we went inside the auditorium looking for seats. And a shadowy figure stood outside…
BGM fades
???: Yes. Let the show begin…
Two hours passed, and some presentations were a number of the choir team with a song about a tornado. The female choir team singing about rubber ducks and bubbles in a bath. And after the Sorcerer's apprentice number by the orchestra and drama team, the solo came.
The curtains rose up revealing a sturdy looking black piano. It shined with the artificial light. Our eyes followed the shine, and went to the source of the brightest shine. Maylu in a beautiful black dress standing in front of the piano.
Lan: Maylu! Whooo!
Dex: Maylu rocks!!!
Thori: Go Maylu!!!
Aldo: You can do it Maylu!!!
Brandon: I forgot my line!!!
Some person behind us: Shh! Please sit down!
Yai: I knew this was a bad idea.
Lan: Sorry…
We sat back down, but we were able to see Maylu's funny smile and waving her hand in a gesture of everything is going to be fine.
She pulled a microphone and she spoke.
Maylu: It's an honor to me to be chosen for the piano solo of this year's spring concert. And it's an honor to play one of my favorite melodies of all time. But it is also an honor to be playing having my friends by my side, the group of idiots who stood up cheering for me. Thanks guys. I feel proud.
Maylu walked to the piano and sat on the seat as the placed the microphone on a pedestal on the piano.
Maylu: For this silo, I will play "Moonlight Sonata." One of my and many other people's favorites. I hope you enjoy it.
Maylu placed her fingers on the starting positions… but before she stroke the first key, a beautiful singing broke the silence. With the angelic voice, all men were hypnotized. They looked like zombies.
Maylu: What? What's going on? Who's singing?
???: Ho ho ho! That's it. All men succumb to me!
Yai: Maylu! All men in the room have been hypnotized by that strange music! I cannot help you because Glyde's hypnotized too!
Maylu: What?!?
Roll.Exe: Looks like we are the ones to stop this! Jack me into the sound system!
Maylu: Right!
Maylu took her high hell shoes off and ran to the main sound tech room. The guy from the teach team was hypnotized. Maylu pushed the guy with his chair away from the console as she pulled her jack cord.
Maylu: Let's see what's going on! Jack in! Roll! Sweet!
Roll was in the cyber network of the sound system. A singe program would control the entire sound of everything.
Roll.Exe: Maylu! There's no sight of viruses! But I'm detecting a Netnavi doing this…
Maylu: Find that Netnavi! We have to stop him!
???: Don't you mean "Her"
Maylu: Stay sharp!
A female Netnavi revealed from the darkness of the shadow of a pillar. She had long blonde hair with sky blue eyes, her lips as red as rubies, and a sexy outfit. Whatever a man would drool for. She looked like a goddess.
Roll.Exe: Who are you?
???: They call me many names: Babe, beauty, momma. But my name is Venus.
Roll.Exe: Venus? And you must have a NetOp!
???: Oh yes. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Melissa Pearce. But just call me Melissa my dear.
Maylu: Melissa Pearce? I know you! You are that retired diva!
Melissa: Retired?!? How dare you to call me retired! They never understood the true value of a woman besides physical beauty! They kicked me out of the diva business after a bitch got into the place! They said I was useless! And I'm planning on taking my revenge by controlling all men in the world with my beauty!
Maylu: I know what you mean, but this is no reason to go nuts and try to conquer the world! We got enough with Xavier trying to do it!
Melissa: Nonsense! Everything is possible if you believe!
Maylu: What would your friends say of this?!?
Melissa: I have no friends… And I don't even care! Why should I even be listening to you anyway? Venus! Time to delete that Netnavi and complete the plan!
Venus.Exe: Just don't break a nail darling.
Maylu: We got no choice Roll! Stay sharp!
Roll.Exe: Okay!
BGM: "Female Fatale/ Aya vs. Eve" from Parasite Eve
Venus.Exe: I guess it's time to call my servants. You'll see the power of beauty of a woman!
Venus raised her right hand.
Venus.Exe: Come my servants!
Multiple beams came revealing Netnavis… but the ugly surprise was that hose Netnavis were…
Roll.Exe: Megaman? Gutsman? Iceman? Frogashi? Foxman? Glyde? This cannot be!
Venus.Exe: Yes. This men were seduced by my beautiful song, and now serve me as they admire my beauty as mindless slaves. Now! Delete her!
Yai: Maylu! Use this!
Yai threw a BattleChip to Maylu. It was a rare chip that was going to help her.
Maylu: Thanks Yai! LifeAura! BattleChip in! Download!
A purple aura resonated around Roll giving her a defensive Aura more powerful than the Barrier BattleChips.
Roll.Exe: Guys! Snap out of it!
Gutsman ran and almost hit Roll with his big fist crushing the ground to smithereens.
Roll.Exe: Foxman! Please!
Foxman ran and made a flying kick that almost hit Roll.
Roll.Exe: Iceman! You can't do this!
Iceman unleashed a powerful Cyber Blizzard. But Roll dodged it on time.
Roll.Exe: Frogashi! Don't!
Frogashi almost slashed Roll.
Roll.Exe: Glyde! Please stop!
Glyde fired his cannon. some blasts hit Roll, but he LifeAura was offering an extra defense boost.
Roll.Exe: No… No! Not Megaman!!!
Megaman rushed and unleashed a fast dose of quick punches. Roll was blocking them, but those punches were strong. Megaman finished with a kick, this one hit Roll on her stomach throwing her away landing on the ground.
Roll's LifeAura was wearing out. And the other male Netnavis were walking to her.
Roll.Exe: Please guys… you don't want to do this…
Venus.Exe: Now! Finish her!!!
Suddenly, a rocket came from nowhere and the blast when it hit the ground pushed the Netnavis away. They were unconscious.
Roll.Exe: What?
There was a distant shadow of a girl… a girl with an armor… the hair was familiar…
???: What are you waiting for? Finish her!
Roll.Exe: Right!
Roll stood and started running to Venus.
Venus.Exe: This cannot be!!!
Maylu: Believe it! Roll! Time to blast her!
Roll.Exe: Got it! Roll Blast!
Roll shook her helmet extensions whipping Venus. With a last hit, Venus landed on the ground.
Roll.Exe: Where are your men now?
Melissa: You might won this one. But we'll be back!
"Venus.Exe logging out"
BGM fades.
Maylu: The music's gone!
Roll.Exe: And the guys are waking up!
Yai: Maylu! Melissa is running away!
Maylu: Got it! Roll! Help them! I'll go after Melissa!
Roll.Exe Got it. Be careful.
Maylu ran to catch Melissa who went outside… after a little chase, she ended up in ACDC park. She was sitting on a bench crying. Maylu got close…
Maylu: Melissa…
Melissa: Get away from me!!! I'm not worthy to be seen!
Maylu: But…
Melissa: Just do it!
Melissa turned revealing her face in the spotlight.
Maylu: You're beautiful!
Melissa: But no one cares… I used to sing well, and then… then…
Melissa cried even more. Maylu sat and hugged Melissa to calm her.
Maylu: Someone will know… I know…
Suddenly, a blonde woman with short hair came saying Melissa's name.
???: Melissa! I've been trying to contact you!
Melissa: Aya? What are you doing here?
Aya: Look! There is a school that needs professional divas in Electown! I told them about you, and they are willing to hear you! You gotta hurry!
Melissa: Really?
Maylu: I told you I knew someone was going to notice your skills.
Melissa: I still have friends in the world after all… Thank you Maylu… I learned a lesson from this…
Maylu: Hope your dreams come true.
Melissa: Don't you have a piano solo to attend?
Maylu: Oh gosh! I forgot about it! Thanks! I'll see ya sometime!
Maylu turned and ran.
Aya: That girl… reminds me of you when you were a little girl Melissa.
Melissa: You think so?
Back to the school, the men went back to normal, and everything was ready for the piano solo.
Maylu: I'm sorry for the delay. Now I'm going to play Moonlight Sonata.
Maylu sat and started playing.
It was a beautiful tune that went to more beautiful by Maylu. Even with the keystrokes, I was able to hear the melody flowing through my heart. It was the best melody I ever heard. So that's why they like it…
After the concert, we partied for Maylu's success at Lan's house, and went to bed.
With a perfect night, the N-1 Grand-Prix is getting closer… but meanwhile with Ginger…
Ginger: How was it?
Tron.Exe: She was having troubles. I had to help.
Ginger: You used the Gustaff at 50 of power.
Tron.Exe: I know. The Gustaff is still not complete.
Ginger: But it will… and I will teach Aldo a lesson he will never forget when we delete Frogashi with our maximum power…
