My own Battle network story
Chapter 50. – Special chapter 5
Well, chapters 41 to 49 were mostly the battle at Castillo and the prelims of the N-1 Grand Prix. Now, chapters 51 to 59 will be the last battle of the prelims and and the N-1 Grand Prix. I calculate like 15 to 20 chapters for the N-1 grand prix, and then the final chapters with the final showdown against Xavier Corp. Xavier himself, and the final truth revealed from the darkness. A dark past, and a choice.
Anyways, shall we go to the profiles of characters introduced in Chapters 41-49?
Ran Iragashi. Age: Around her 20s.
Ran is the outgoing cheerful aspirant of Priestess of the wind of the village of the wind in the southern part of Electopia. She has fought Lan before in the Hawk Tournament, and became Priestess of the wind in Chapter 45. She lost her parents in a Tsunami when she was five years old, but her kind grandmother raised her. Now she lives alone after her Grandmother died.
Windman.Exe Wind/Custom
Windman is considered the god of the winds himself among the villagers of Ran's village. He has cheered Ran since the very day her parents died, and he will always fight hard to honor their legacy. As he fought Megaman before, his soul resonated with him to create the WindSoul.
Akira Tamadoi. Age: 17
Akira was in a long time ago a student of ACDC elementary along Lan. But his father's businesses took him to Netopia. Now, he's back with his own Netnavi, which lives up to his mischief side, Clownman.Exe.
Clownman.Exe Elec/Custom
Clownman was Akira's creation after he tried a PET. Clownman balances agility and power with his extendable arms and sense of humor. If you placed Colorman and Clownman in a match, we would have such a circus show.
Chisao Oyama. Age: 12.
We already talked about Chisao before, but his personality became into a new Chisao. This time al lot tougher than before thanks to the battle against his brother, Dex Oyama. He proves to be an excellent Netbattler alongside his personal Netnavi, Dynamoman.Exe.
Dynamoman.Exe Elec/Custom
Dynamoman was created by Chisao, which seek a partner after the loss of Kutsman.Exe. Dynamoman shows a perfect display of electric power and static with the dynamo on his back. He might look as a kid, but his temper and power respect the behavior of an adult.
Melissa Pearce. Age: Around her 25s
She made her appearance in Chapter 35, but she reappeared against Maylu in the finals of her block. She changed after her first battle with Maylu, and thanks to her childhood friend, Aya Brea, she became the teacher of a choir school at Electown. Now she's the role model of the girls of the school, and always is ready for a challenge for her girls.
Venus.Exe Custom
Venus is as her name indicates, the representation of female power. She balances beauty and deadly skills for her victory. Melissa made 4 custom chips for her, the whips of the four Cyber Elements. The ThunderWhip, RoseWhip, IceWhip and FireWhip. She has a rivalry with Roll for showing her power, and is always ready for a fight to show that women can.
Oscar. Age: 17
Back from previous chapters, Oscar is at it again. This time, he comes with a brand new personality thanks to the friendship lesson he learned from Thori. He now is the assistant in Higsby's shop, which tries to have Higsby in his normal paranoid levels before he has a psychological crash. With a perfect score of 100 in the regional test, the same as Thori, Oscar is ready to show that his new changes are still as cunning as his last ones.
Bookman.Exe Custom
Bookman is back. From the know-it-all of Rockman EXE Headquaters here comes Bookman. He appeared as a birthday present, and became a very own character of the main storyline. (Yay for Bookman-Kun-Sama!) He used only traps before as his strategy, but thanks to Iceman's precautions, he improved his style for multi-chip strategies. Thanks to the battle they had, now he can use the IceSoul to add coolness to his moves.
Mr. Famous (Just Famous!) Age: It seems around his 50s, but he denies it… …
The famous scientist who ends up being Dr. Hikari's best friend and partner. I met him a few years ago, and he gave me the Custom CD, which contained Frogashi's data. He told me that Frogashi ended up being the prototype of Kendoman.Exe. Then, after a quick upgrade with the Bushido program, he helped me activate Frogashi's hidden skills, and make him perfect. He would be called Frogashi's father just as Dr. Hikari is Megaman's, and his cooperation will be a lot more important in the sequel of the story. (Yup, I'm making a sequel. Not any spoilers, but stay tuned for any updates.)
Kendoman.Exe Sword/Custom
Kendoman.Exe was created by Mr. Famous as the final version of the prototype of Frogashi.Exe. He is very strict when it is to the fighting spirit, and if he sees anyone slacking, he releases his Kendo Dummies and puts them to practice Kendo. (Geez, sounds though…) He proved Frogashi worthy, and cooperated in downloading the Bushido program he had. And by the hard way, he helped release Frogashi's true potential.

My own Battle Network story news board
This is a brand new section of the Special chapters which dedicate to further updates, news and much more related to the EXE series, the story itself, further projects and personal anecdotes. To start with, thanks to certain review about Cross Fusion, I decided in making the sequel of the story where Cross Fusion will play an important role and new enemies as well. Probably more Exefied Zero characters, or special guests like Bookman.
Okay, personal news, I officially finished Xenosaga Episode 2: Jenseits von gut und bose in a total of 27 hours. A lot more less than Xenosaga Episode 1: Der wille zur macht with 57 hours. But still, lots of questions remain like the strange circle… and what's going to happen to the stolen Zohar by Abel's Ark? What's Abel's ark anyways?
Anyways, going back into topic, I will need to check on Fang Yugi for WolfMan and his NetOp for Chapter 51. Once I figured that out, I will finish Chapter 51, and then the rest of the chapters will be the official N-1 Grand Prix. And I will introduce a short Cross Fusion and a brand new "Dark Fusion". Just wait to see it. And that chapter will leave some clues for the new bad guys in the sequel and what are they up to. But of course, no further activity will be noticed until the sequel itself, "My own Battle Network story: A new era"
Anyways, further news goes into that My Birthday is coming in April 11th! (Yes!)
Anyways, more further news go to a list of thanks. Like Bookman who lend me permission of using him. Also FangYugi so far that I haven't been able to use Foxman.Exe and himself thanks him so far. Thanx Fang Yugi! And also people like Maurice Sigma, Dimitri Platabo, Mori Kubosochi, ClessMiato, Kat-Chan, Geoff Mendecino, Kiri-Chan, Rockdude, Hirun, Shurimpu-Kun, Shuryou Gospel, Iraqman.Exe, Darth, Slash, Yousho Leviathan, PRJT WAR, Carlos Oliveira, Rockman Hero, Cheezdood 14, MegaBeast, Zender X, Jin Saotome, DragonMan.Exe, Dan Cote, Elemental.Exe, Blue Bomber, somehow to the Natt Shephard of Pooping chaos for encouraging me to improve, all the EXE HQ members and all the people who keep reading the story. Thank you everyone, I couldn't survive without all of you!
And for all Rockman Fanfic authors, I guess the pest known as Natt Shephard of Pooping Chaos is gone for good. And if he comes back, just ignore him. We don't have time to deal with the woosers like him. But if he thinks about it, we'll give him a chance to feel the Phenomena. And with the coast clear, we can go on evolution with the new concepts introduced in EXE Axess and improve our stories, or make sequels with those concepts.
And going to other news, I finished the first chapter of Megaman Zero: Requiem of memories, the third part that is composed by Megaman X: Rondo of Blood and Megaman Axl. This third part as the title suggests, takes part in the Zero series. Taking place maybe instead of the actual storyline of Megaman Zero 4, an emergency call arrives to the resistance. Zero, Ciel and the resistance members assist the call, and by dreams and nightmares, Zero is regaining his memories of his past life… but… when he reaches certain memories related to what is hidden in the center of the Eurasia Colony ruins, hell will break loose. An individual from the past will return. Okay, I'll say it. Axl returns. And with him, Ciel will have to choose. Axl or Zero. Zero's hidden side and true self will arise, and only certain memories will be the only ones that might plant hope in the darkest hour. But of course, I'll need to check basic info of Zero 4 to include the members of Ground Zero and what's going on. So I might take a while to officially start it. I accept any info by E-Mail.
And I'm signing off for today. I expect that readers like you keep going until we reach Chapter 60 and I start Megaman Zero: Requiem of memories. And maybe Xenosaga Episodes Zero and 0.5, or maybe revive the long dead Sonic Adventure 3.
