My own Battle Network story

What's up? I'm Aldo.

We agreed on going to Castillo on Saturday. It is a big wonderful place, and we just went to eat, and I was getting excited already.

The surprising thing is that the ones who owned the curry place were the four members of the destroyed evil syndicate World Three. They learned about good thanks to Lan and now are trying their best to help society. Even Maddy became mother of a three-year-old boy!

So now that we're done eating, we're gonna blast those attractions!!!

Chapter 39. – Castillo Madness

We were walking on the area that worked as interlace to all the attractions. There was a big castle, which also worked as a Netbattle arena for tournaments. Of course, I heard that the Dendome was pretty big, but the E-Mail newsletter said that they are improving the system for the N-1 Grand Prix.

Of course, these news made me eager even more for the even from a week away.

So we stared at the main map of the place. There were a lot of places…

Aldo: Racing kart circuit, Life Virus: the ride, Virtual reality quest, Arcade zone. So many places to go!

Dex: I honestly like the VR quest.

Lan: Yeah! You use a VR equipment set and also jack your Netnavi in to complete the VR quest alongside your Netnavi.

Megaman.Exe: Yeah, now that's real cooperation.

Frogashi.Exe: We should try it someday.

Brandon: Yeah, but I wanna try the karts for now! How many people vote for the karts?

Everyone raised their hands.

Brandon: I win! Go-karts! Here we come!

The line was a little long, but the wait was worth it. We hopped on our karts. I got the number 7. As we sped up, I was able to see the others getting closer. Lan was on the blue kart with the number 10. Dex was on the large green kart with the number 13, Thori was on the yellow one with the number 4, Yai was on the pink one with the number 5, Maylu was on the red one with the number 11 and Brandon was on the black one with the number 12.

Everything was getting even more interesting after lap number 7. Then after the tenth lap, we hopped off the karts.

Lan: Man, that was fun.

Maylu: The wind breeze on your face, the speed and the excitement!

Brandon: I knew this was a good idea.

Dex: Next the VR quest!!!

The VR quest was shaped like a castle. It was a typical Dungeons and Dragons quest to destroy an evil wizard. I got to be a swordsman with Frogashi, Megaman go to be a knight with Megaman, Dex was a powerful ogre with Gutsman, Thori got to be an alchemist with Iceman, Yai was an Amazon princess with Glyde, Maylu was a Valkarie with Roll and Brandon was a Spell caster with Foxman.

After defeating the evil wizard who had a powerful resemblance with Higsby, we headed back to the main area.

Lan: That was close.

Brandon: I know that powerful spells like Ultima work extremely well with all enemies, but nothing can scratch that dammed flaming rolling boulder…

Dex: We barely got out of there without losing a life…

Aldo: Anyways, we should go to the arcade area now! How about a little break from all this excitement?

Lan: Nice idea.

We took the right and went to the arcade area. There was a Netbattle terminal there and lots of arcade machines.

Aldo: Oh my god! The King of Fighters 2011! I can't wait to play it!!!

Lan: I heard that's a good game. I challenge you!

Aldo: You're on!!!

My team of three fighters were Kyo Kusanagi, K' and Ash Crimson. Lan got Iori Yagami, Sie Kensou and Athena Asamiya.

Aldo: Nice combination.

I told Lan.

Lan: Thanks! Now the first round!

Kyo Kusanagi Vs. Iori Yagami.

Round 1, fight!

We did well during the fight. I won, but Lan almost got me with Athena.

Aldo: Whoa! You're sneaky!

Lan: And you're good! But enough already! Fang Arrow!!!

Athena jumped and unleashed continuous strikes of Phoenix Arrow. Luckily for me, I spent all my three power gauges to activate Armor mode and reduce damage. Then I unleashed a fast combo of K' by using weak punch, weak kick forward and a Minute Spike. This finished Athena and made me the winner.

Then I cleared the game. Typical ending, you fight against the tournament organizer who wields the power of an anonymous divine force, he is defeated and activates self-destruction mode to blow his base up. The fighters escape and everyone lives happily ever after.

Dex: Punch the guy! Punch the guy!

Dex was yelling at Brandon who was playing a Bruce Lee videogame.

Brandon: I'm trying!

Dex: Use the mortal sleeping dragon fist!

Brandon: My Chi gauge is empty! Help!

Then Bruce Lee was knocked out. Game over.

Dex: I told you to use the punch!

Brandon: I tried!

Yai and Maylu were playing DDR. And Thori was surrounded by dozens of people watched him playing Strider Hiryu. He basically decoded the actions to calculate effective techniques.

After the arcade, we decided to go where we never went before… Life Virus: The ride.

Maylu: I never heard of it before…

Lan: Here is says that it is the newest ride based in real story. When the Life virus tried to take over the world. And this is a Roller Coaster! So it is even more interesting!

Dex: Oh no! This is the last ride of the day and only two people can get on now!

Lan: Maylu and I are going.

Maylu: Lan?

Lan: This is also our date. So why don't we go together?

Maylu: Guys?

Aldo: Fine by me.

Dex: Go on, have fun.

Yai: Don't waste the chance!

Thori: Go ahead.

Brandon: Hun. I never wanted to get on anyways.

Maylu: Thanks guys. Shall we get going?

So Lan and Maylu went to buy tickets for the roller coaster as we waited.

Meanwhile at Yahoot's curry place.

Yahoot: Magicman, did you guys find anything?

Magicman.Exe: This whole place seems clean of viruses…

Elecman.Exe: Hey guys! I found something!

The other Netnavis ran to Elecman who was crouching looking at a box.

Fireman.Exe: What is it?

Colorman.Exe: There's only a way to find it out.

Elecman.Exe: Okay. I'll open it.

Magicman.Exe: I got a bad feeling about this…

We stood watching the connected cars going together on the trails. And they propelled at a fast speed. We heard screams of people scared and excited. Maylu included, but Lan was really screaming like a girl…

Dex: I think those two are getting even closer.

Aldo: I guess you're right. And I think no one can ruin this day.

BGM: "Trouble" from Megaman Battle Network 4.

Suddenly, the cars were going way to fast. People screaming around the entire place.

Brandon: What? Something's wrong!

Dex: Where?

Suddenly, the Toyrobos went crazy. Also the other rides went crazy. Castillo went crazy.

Aldo: Something's messing up with Castillo's main system!

Yai: If we don't hurry up, Lan and Maylu might…

Thori: Don't say that! We have to help them!

Aldo: This whole place became a war zone! Thori! Yai! Go and help all the people in the evacuation!

Thori, Yai: Got it!

Aldo: Dex! Brandon! Let's jack into the map and check the network!

Dex, Brandon: Right!

Aldo: Okay! Jack in! Frogashi.Exe! Transmit!

Dex: Jack in! Gutsman.Exe! Ghuaaaa!!!

Brandon: Jack in! Foxman.Exe! Booya!

Our Netnavis arrived to the place. Castillo was supposed to be a sky blue background with pink platforms and roads, but the viruses turned it into a negative color of it.

Frogashi.Exe: Dang! There are viruses everywhere!

Foxman.Exe: And they're messing with the entire place!

Gutsman.Exe: Let's cruuuush them!!! Guts!

Aldo: Go get them!

Frogashi.Exe: Katana, do your stuff!

Frogashi slashed a group of viruses, which were deleted instantly.

Foxman: Fox Dolls!

Foxman threw some Kunais around and the Kunais turned into copies of Foxman. The Foxman copies attacked the viruses.

Gutsman.Exe: Gutshammer!

Gustman unleashed a powerful blow of both of his hands united as a powerful hammer. The shockwave also made to some flying block to fall over the viruses.

Foxman.Exe: YIKES! A big group of Shrimpies!

Brandon: They're too many!!!

The Shrimpies were getting ready for their attack… when…

Elecman.Exe: Electric Blaze!!!

A powerful thunder came from the sky deleting the Shrimpies.

Foxman.Exe: Elecman!

Elecman.Exe: Gotta be more careful this time!

Magicman.Exe: Magic Flare!

The orb at the end of Magicman's arms built purple energy and the energy was released as energy balls leaving a purple halo, hitting multiple viruses and deleting an entire group with a single blast.

Fireman.Exe, Heatman.Exe, Flameman.Exe: Tri-Fire tower!

The three fiery Netnavis combined forces to create a powerful three times bigger fire tower deleting a lot of viruses in a line.

Colorman arrived to the fight with a worried expression.

Colorman.Exe: This is bad! Bad!

Maddy: Ken! Has anyone seen Ken?!?

Yahoot: Isn't he with you?

Maddy: Ken! Oh my god! He isn't in the daycare!

Aldo: How does he look like?

Maddy: He's wearing a red t-shirt with blue overalls. He has light brown hair.

Aldo: We'll look for him! Can you guys take care of these viruses?

Mr. Match: We'll hold them!

Zap: We're counting on you to find little Ken!

Aldo: Okay! Frogashi.Exe! Jack out!

"Frogashi.Exe logging out."

Brandon: Wait for me! Foxman.Exe! Jack out!

"Foxman.Exe logging out.:

Dex: Let's go Gutsman! Gustman.Exe! Jack out!

"Gutsman.Exe logging out."

Maddy: Please find Ken!

So we ran everywhere looking for little Ken. But no sign of him around.

Dex: We better check on Lan and Maylu!

Aldo: You're right!

They were still going fast… but their screams muffled a soft crying.

Aldo: That sounds like a child!

Dex: Do you think he is…

Brandon: There! Inside the control room!

The description matched perfectly. Little Ken was crying.

Ken: "Sniff sniff" mommy!

Aldo: I can't open the door!

Brandon: Hey! Check the controls in the room!

Dex: Hey! The gauges are all messed up!

The meters on the console were increasing really fast… if the meters reached critical level, the whole ride was going to blow up with Lan, Maylu and Ken on it!

Dex: Let's try to unlock that door!

Aldo: Here we go! Jack in! Frogashi.Exe! Transmit!

Dex: Jack in! Gutsman.Exe! Ghuaaaa!!!

Brandon: Jack in! Foxman.Exe! Booya!

The door lock computer was being destroyed by the viruses.

Frogashi.Exe: Here we go again!!!

The Netnavis attacked the viruses. But when all the viruses were deleted, a powerful blue ball came rushing from our backs.

Foxman.Exe: Guys! It's a hit and run ball! Jump!

Our Netnavis jumped and the ball flew past as it turned into an elephant like Netnavi. His body was round and huge.

???: So you're the ones messing with my viruses.

Frogashi.Exe: So you're the one messing with Castillo's system!

???; Good guess… That's why you guys are a headache for Master Xavier.

Foxman.Exe: Xavier?!? I knew it! Who are you!

???: Gashenariff's the name. And soon the one who will get Megaman.

Gustman.Exe: How are you planning to do that? Guts!

Gashenariff.Exe: Basically the roller coaster will blow up killing Lan Hikari, and leaving his PET vulnerable to us! And Megaman will be Master Xavier's in no time!!!

Frogashi.Exe: And kill lots of innocent people along?!?

Gashenariff.Exe: A little prize for accomplishing my mission.

Aldo: We will never allow it!

Brandon: We will kick your butt and save them!

Dex: And rescue little Ken!

Gashenariff.Exe: Pretty interesting. We'll see how you do against me!
