My own Battle Network story.

My Diary

Round 1 of the N-1 Grand Prix started with a clash between the two magnificent forces known as Lan and Chaud. The battle wasa pretty fair, but when Protoman was about to use his ultimate attack, the darkness within him suddenly broke loose bringing Dark Protoman back.

The battle kept on, and suddenly a missile split in 4, and something known as a Dimensional area appeared. Dark Protoman forced Chaud to use something called a Synchro Chip, and they fused into Dark Fusion. Lan did the same thing, and he fused with Megaman with Cross Fusion.

"Quick note"

I will introduce a new fusion in the sequel, something like Soul Unison, but better."

And now, Lan has to defeat the darkness within Protoman without harming Chaud.

Chapter 54. – The light of the heart

Dark Protoman grinned as he saw the Cross Fused Lan. He kept his maniac face as he stared at him with a weird face.

Dark Protoman.Exe: So, is that what you call Cross Fusion? It is still not as strong as my Dark Fusion.

Lan: But we're gonna find out! So get ready you ugly!

Dark Protoman.Exe: I like that. Bring it on!

BGM: "Event Battle" from MMX Command Mission

Lan: Mega Buster!

Lan raised his buster shooting continuous shots at Dark Protoman. Dark Protoman used his hands to slap them away with ease.

Lan: Charge shot!

Lan switched to a power position as energy particles gathered around the mouth of his buster. As they were building up, a soft power up sound became louder.

Lan: NOW! HYAAAA!

The built up energy released itself as a powerful big energy beam. Dark Protoman grinned as he placed his blade in defense. Then… he got ready.

Dark Protoman.Exe: Watch this!

He made a quick rapier like vertical move just when the beam was about to hit him. The beam split in half and went into two directions hitting some mountains nearby.

Lan: What?

Megaman.Exe: He sliced out charge shot!

Dark Protoman.Exe: Is that all you got? Then it is my turn! HAAAA!

Lan: Not so fast! FighterSword! BattleChip in!

With the command of his voice, his right wrist turned into the FighterSword. Then he got ready to block the attack. Dark Protoman tried to attack him, and he blocked. They were in a clash of strength as Dark Protoman got his face closer to Lan.

Dark Protoman.Exe: Admit it, even someone as strong as Chaud fell in the dark.

Lan: I don't care a bit about what you say! We are gonna get Chaud and Protoman back!

Dark Protoman.Exe: Too late kid, their consciousnesses are dust now. You don't stand a chance!

Lan: But at least we can try!

Dark Protoman.Exe: Pitiful Anyways, just to let you know, because you used a DarkChip once too. Do you know what the link to the darkness feels like?

Lan: I don't wanna find out!

Dark Protoman.Exe: Is as sweet and seducing as a deal with the devil!

Lan: I heard enough of your crap!

And they backed away.

Dark Protoman.Exe: Pity… I though you two would make great partners in darkness.

Lan: And work for Xavier? I don't think so!

Dark Protoman.Exe: He he he… you fool… Xavier is just a tiny spect…

Lan: What?

Dark Protoman.Exe: Do you think he's the only one? I don't think so.

Lan: What do you mean not the only one?

Dark Protoman.Exe: I wasted enough time already! If you wanna find out, find it out once both of you are deleted! Fumikozan!

Lan: Not so fast! StepSword! BattleChip in!

And both of them were casting shadows which striking each other, after around 20 shadows at a split of a second, a single dark red shadow made it through striking Lan. Lan landed on the ground.

Dark Protoman.Exe: You're finished!

Lan: Guess again? AreaSteal! BattleChip in!

Lan suddenly disappeared at a blinding speed. Dark Protoman's blade dug on the soil where Lan was.

Dark Protoman.Exe: Huh? Where are you?

Lan: I'm here! GoldFist! BattleChip in!

As Lan fell, he quickly prepared his golden fist and stroke Dark Protoman. He was launched towards a big boulder. As he crashed, the boulder split itself in hundreds of pieces.

Lan: Yeah!

Megaman.Exe: Did we made it?

Lan: Looks like not…

Then, Dark Protoman rose from the debris of the boulder, slowly rising, he casted an enraged grin.

Dark Protoman.Exe: That hurt kid… Now it's time for your deletion once and for all!

Meanwhile, at that moment, the two mysterious beings were watching the fight.

: Do you think it's time to give him the power he needs?

?.Exe: I guess so… I guess this Chip will balance the situation for our delight. Make use of it.

Dark Protoman opened his hand as a purplish chip appeared. Then, it faded away with purple fire as a dark aura appeared from Dark Protoman.

"DarkChip in"

Dark Protoman.Exe: WHOOOOAAAAAAAAARGH! HAAAAAAAA!

Megaman.Exe: Lan! It's a DarkChip!

Lan: Oh boy, things are just getting worse…

Dark Protoman's aura broke as a glowing crimson evil eye was visible from his shades.

Dark Protoman.Exe: HAAAAAA!

Without even realizing it, Lan was hit from the back. The power of the DarkChip boosted everything within Dark Protoman. Lan turned around after he landed on the ground as he saw the hulking mass of Dark Protoman.

Lan: Man! He's faster and stronger than before!

Dark Protoman.Exe: I SHALL DESTROY YOU! WHAAAAARGH!

He seemed to have some kind of headache…

Dark Protoman.Exe: WHY YOU? WHY ARE YOU STILL FIGHTING?

Then, the glowing crimson eye changed to a blue one. Lan recognized the glow…

Lan: Chaud!

Chaud: Lan! Kill me! Kill me to get rid of him! Hurry!

Lan: I… I can't! You're my friend!

Chaud: Hurry! WHAAAAARGH!

Lan: I won't kill you Chaud! I won't! I will save you!

Then, the blue changed to red again.

Dark Protoman.Exe: IT IS FUTILE! YOR FRIEND IS TOO SOFT TO REALIZE THE TRUTH!

Lan: There has to be a way! But how?

Megaman.Exe: Lan! Watch out!

Dark Protoman.Exe: NOW YOU DIE!

Lan: HAAAA!

Before his attack could reach Lan, a quick beam of blinding yellow light stroke Dark Protoman's fist. Dark Protoman ceased the attack as the individual placed himself in front of Lan.

Lan: What?

Dark Protoman.Exe: WHY YOU?

The individual had a crimson scarf and blonde short hair. He turned around as he greeted Lan.

Lan: Django!

Django, the solar boy vampire hunter. He and Megaman sealed Shademan way.

Django: Yo! Long time no see Lan and Megaman!

Lan: But what are you doing here?

Django: I sensed the activity of a group I have been chasing down here. But I didn't expected to find you.

Lan: You mean the ones that did this to Chaud and Protoman?

Django: Yes. So they are your friends…

Lan: But there has to be a way to save them!

Django: They are indeed possessed by Darkness, so the thing to get rid of it would be using the Pile Driver. But a single one would be useless… we need to use a Double Pile driver to get rid of the darkness in his heart!

Lan: Got it! What shall we do?

Django: It is risky, but I'll try using the Gun del Sol to stun him, then you do tomething to capture him. And you use these three Chips in a program Advance to use a Pile Driver. Then I use a Pile Driver with Otenko and we purify him!

Lan: Got it!

Dark Protoman.Exe: Whatever you're planning, it will not work on me!

Django: Oh yeah? then have a little Solar Beam!

Django pointed his Gun del Sol to the freakish monster. He fired a powerful wide beam which stunned Dark Protoman.

Dark Protoman.Exe: WHUGH! I CAN'T SEE!

Lan: Now! EnergyRing! BattleChip in!

Lan raised his hands as an energy ring appeared over Dark Protoman. He moved his arms down lowering I and placed his hand together to close it holding Dark Protoman.

Lan: Got him!

Django! Good! Otenko!

The sunflower spirit master of the sun appeared. As he spun, he shouted the words…

Otenko: Ready when you are Solar Boy! Taiyoh!

And the energy released by him created a big circle with two solar generator.

Lan: Okay! Gunsol1! Gunsol2! Gunsol3! BattleChips in! Pile Driver Program Advance!

Then, two more generators appeared.

Dark Protoman.Exe: WHAT IS THIS JOKE?

Lan and Django raised their hand high in the air as they got ready.

Lan, Django: TAIYOH!

The Solar generators built solar energy up. They had to build it from the battery of the Gun del Sol and the reflection of the solar light by the moon. Four powerful beams came from the generator panels, but before they hit Dark Protoman, a dark aura appeared around him blocking the beams.

Lan, Django: What the?

Dark Protoman.Exe: Do you think you're going to use this to eliminate me as you did you Shademan? I don't think so!

Then, the aura grew stronger, and the beams were being cut off.

Django: Impossible! This is all the power we have!

Lan: Damn! Come on! There has to be something!… That's it! EnergyLink! BattleChip in!

Then, he raised his hands. His mind wondered around the Cyberworld reaching an energy plant…

Lan: We're gonna borrow some energy for the Pile Driver!… READY!

BGM fades

BGM: "Intro video" from MMX Command Mission

Django: Let's go!

Lan, Django: TAAAAAAAAIYOOOOOOOOOH!

Then, more energy built up within the generators, and more powerful beams came out. Dark Protoman was succumbing to the power…

Dark Protoman.Exe: WHUAAAAARGH!

Django: Lan! We need more power!

Lan: TAIYOOOOOH! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

And as he drew power, the light of the city was becoming dimmer. The power of the beams were stronger, and they got Dark Protoman in a direct hit. His silhouette was being deformed in the light as he shouted.

Dark Protoman.Exe: NOOOOO! I AM ALL POWER! I WILL BE BACK! EVIL WILL STILL REMAIN IN THE HEART! AS DARKNESS IN THE WORLD! WHAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

And with a blinding explosion, the whole Battle sphere turned white. Everyone in the stadium was shocked by the battle. Then, after the light faded, Chaud laid on the ground. Lan ran to him.

Lan: Chaud? Chaud!

Chaud: ……… Lan……

Chaud was a little weak, but it looked like he would get better.

Lan: Chaud! I was worried about you!

Chaud: Thank you Lan… I told you to kill me… but you didn't… you always knew… But I was so pathetic… Please accepts my apologies for being so cold with you all these years…

Lan: It's okay… Thank you Django…

Django: No problem.

Otenko: Solar boy, I feel immortals at the west. We should make haste.

Django: Yeah. Well, farewell. May the sun be with you two… as the light in your hearts.

Django teleported way, and the dimensional area faded. The floor of the Battle Sphere was actual solid floor, so Lan and Chaud were fine. Their Cross Fusion broke up and their PETs materialized.

Ribitta: Whoa! Did you see that folks? And with a powerful show of bravery for others, Lan wins the first round!

Lan: What? Wait! We still haven't…

Chaud: Go ahead Lan… Go on…

Lan: Chaud?

Chaud: You deserve the victory… go ahead and win the cup.

Lan: Okay. Thanks Chaud.

Lan helped Chaud and both walked from the Battle Sphere.

Then, after a little cleaning up, Ribitta was announcing the next match.

Ribitta: After a powerful clash between light and darkness, we go the second battle of Round 1 of the N-1 Grand Prix! Thori Ikawa vs. Dex Oyama!

And that was the next battle. Two completely different friends, one same resolve: To be the best of the best.
