Chapter 3: DemolitionMan Awaken!

A mysterious explosion sounds in Net City and Mr. Moss is continuing with his plan for the ultimate Net Navi. One word for both scenarios: Trouble!

After hearing the explosion, Megaman and Roll head to the construction site to investigate. Now arriving at the site, Megaman and Roll can now see the source behind the explosion. Blue and red viruses are eating away at the construction to the Net City Skyscraper.

"It's a swarm of hacker viruses." Megaman announces, noticing the viruses tearing away at the Skyscraper as the remaining net navis scramble from the site.

"And they are undoing the repair to the skyscraper." Roll adds in. "I wonder what's behind this outbreak."

"It doesn't matter what caused the outbreak." Megaman speaks, as his right hand turns into his mega buster. "What matters is we stop this virus attack before it completely destroys the skyscraper."

Raising and aiming his mega buster, Megaman begins blasting at the viruses rapidly, deleting them set by set.

Roll begins swinging her antennas, swatting away the viruses coming her way and deleting them. (Sorry if her attack is wrong. I haven't really seen her attacks much throughout the series.)

Megaman continues blasting the viruses, noticing that once he deletes a set, more viruses pop up.

"No matter how many viruses I delete, they just keep popping up." Megaman comments, as he continues blasting. "These are no ordinary viruses."

"You got that right." Roll speaks, as she continues with her antenna attack. "These things are multiplying by the dozens."

"Lan isn't around to download a battle chip to me." Megaman says, as he continues blasting. "So we have to go on what resources we have now."

"Maylu didn't leave any in my PET so all I have are my antenna's to work with." Roll adds in. "As fast as they are multiplying, I don't know if I can continue to keep this up."

"They are multiplying just as fast as I'm deleting them." Megaman speaks, continuing to blast the viruses coming his way. "If only I had a battle chip, then wiping these viruses out would be no problem."

"Where is a miracle when you need one." Roll speaks, swatting away another virus.

"Cyber slash!" A voice calls out, surprising both Megaman and Roll.

In a flash of blue light, the viruses that Megaman was fighting off, are deleted in an instant. With another flash of blue light, the viruses that were heading Roll's way are also deleted in an instant. With one final flash of light, all the viruses that were destroying the skyscraper, are deleted. Once the smoke clears from the total virus deletion, a familiar Net Navi comes into view, putting smiles on both Megaman and Roll's faces.

"You know I can never let you be deleted by anything else, unless I'm the one planning it first." The navi speaks, turning around and facing Megaman and Roll.

"Protoman!" Roll calls out happily.

"Protoman." Megaman speaks. "Um, thanks."

"It's nothing. It's what I do." Protoman replies in his sarcastic tone of voice. "Well, my job is done here."

Protoman's right arm's cyber sword reverts back to his right arm and hand as he begins walking away from the scene.

"Protoman, wait." Megaman calls out after the red Navi, making him stop in his tracks and slightly turn to him.

"Thanks for saving us." Megaman says to Protoman, with a smile. "If you hadn't shown up when you did, then we would been goners."

"Forget about it." Protoman speaks in his normal tone. "You're off the hook, at least for now."

Protoman turns and begins walking away again, this time, until he is out of sight.

"I guess miracles do happen." Roll comments, turning to Megaman from watching Protoman walk out of sight.

"With Protoman, anything is possible." Megaman replies, turning to Roll. "Well, better go get some answers as to what caused that outbreak."

Roll nods.

Converting his mega buster back into his right arm, Megaman and Roll walk over to the frightened Net navi's and begins asking questions as to how the virus attack occurred.

Protoman, who has walked out of sight, isn't too far from the construction site himself and listens closely as the scared Navi's talk to Megaman and Roll about the sudden virus attack.

"Keep a sharp eye out for anything suspicious. I have a feeling that, that virus outbreak wasn't just an accident." A voice says to Protoman.

"Yes Chaud, sir." Protoman replies.

Protoman walks away from the corner of the construction site and heads to another part of Internet City.

In the Abandoned Mansion

Mr. Moss continues with his construction of the ultimate Net Navi.

"Soon, soon my undefeatable net navi will be complete." Mr. Moss speaks, continuing to watch as the data forms the navi. "Once the data transfer is complete, I will give this Navi the capabilities to bring Megaman to his knees and have both Dentech and the Cyber World begging for mercy."

The progress of the transfer reads 57 percent.

"Not too much longer." Mrs. Moss grins. "Soon my empire will be built and I will be the ruler of both worlds."

A hysterical laughter escapes from his throat as the echoes bounce off the walls.

Library

Lan and Maylu are putting finishing touches on their papers.

"Ok, I'm finally done." Lan announces, now hitting the print icon at the top of the typing program.

"That makes double." Maylu replies, also hitting print at the top of the typing program. "I thought I'd never get that done."

"I hope after we turn these in, Mrs. Mari won't give us any homework for a while." Lan speaks, heading over to the printer to retrieve his paper. "I can use a break."

"Well, with her, you can never tell." Maylu replies, also heading over to the printer to retrieve her paper.

After grabbing his paper, Lan heads back to the computer he was working at and closes the programs he had open, shutting the computer down. Maylu grabs her paper and heads back to the computer she was sitting at, also doing the same as Lan.

"Well, at least we have the weekend to look forward to." Maylu says to Lan, putting her term paper in her backpack. "Two days where we don't have to even think about school."

"That I can't wait for." Lan replies, putting his in his backpack as well. "That's the only thing, besides the end of any school day, that I look forward to the most."

"Hey Lan." Maylu calls out to him, making him turn to her.

"Yeah Maylu." Lan answers her.

"Thanks for comforting me earlier." Maylu thanks Lan. "That was very sweet."

Lan's cheeks turn ruby red as Maylu smiles at him.

"No problem." Lan replies as he stammers a bit, with a smile of his own. "What are friends for?"

Maylu smiles as she grabs her backpack.

"Well, we better head home." Maylu speaks. "It's almost six and we don't want your mother to get worried about you or let your dinner get cold."

Lan's expression turns from a smile to a frown.

"Thanks for ruining a perfect moment, Maylu." Lan mumbles under his breath as he grabs his backpack and heads out of the library behind Maylu.

Hikari Residence

Maylu and Lan have made their way from the library and back to Lan's house, now stepping through the door.

"Mom, I'm home." Lan calls out as he and Maylu step through the door.

"Oh, hi, Lan dear." Mrs. Hikari replies, entering the livingroom. "Dinner is ready."

"Alright." Lan replies. "I have to head upstairs for a bit, but I will be down shortly."

"Ok dear." Mrs. Hikari says smiling. "Don't be too long."

"I won't." Lan replies, as he and Maylu head up the stairs to his room. Once they get there, they enter the room and immediately head over to the computer.

"I wonder what our net navi's did while we were gone." Maylu inquires.

"Probably nothing." Lan answers her, setting his backpack on the floor, in front of the bed. "Knowing Megaman, he probably took Roll to check out the repairs being done to Net city."

"Maybe." Maylu replies.

"Lan, hey Lan are you there?" Megaman's voice suddenly calls from the computer screen. Turning to the computer screen, Lan and Maylu both see their Navi's, with distressed looks on their faces.

"Yeah, I'm here." Lan answers Megaman. "What happened to you two? You guys look as if you seen a ghost Net navi."

"Even worse." Megaman begins. "A virus outbreak occurred while you and Maylu were out."

"How could that be?" Lan inquires. "All major threats have been eliminated. There is no way a virus outbreak can occur without someone being behind it."

"That's just it." Megaman continues. "When I asked the architect navi's, they said they didn't know how it happened either. It was a surprise to them as it was for us."

"Oh dear, are you guys ok?" Maylu inquires to her navi.

"We're fine." Roll answers her. "Since we didn't have any battle chips to work with, we had to make due with what we had, which were my antenna's and his mega buster."

"If it weren't for Protoman showing up when he did, we would be broken data by now." Megaman finishes.

"Wait, Protoman showed up?" Lan inquires in surprise. "After my dad rebuilt him, I haven't seen nor heard a thing from Chaud ever since."

"That's odd." Maylu speaks. "A mysterious virus outbreak occurs and Protoman suddenly appears. Something about all of this just doesn't add up."

"You got that right." Megaman replies. "I was surprised to see him."

Lan opens his mouth to make a comment, when a letter suddenly appears on the screen.

"I just got an email." Lan replies. "I wonder who it could be from."

"It's from Chaud." Megaman answers him. "The subject heading reads: Open Immediately."

"Open it." Lan commands.

Megaman does as he is told and the message appears on the screen.

"Lan, I have a lead on what might have caused the virus outbreak in Net City. Meet with me in the schoolyard in half an hour and bring Megaman. Signed, Chaud." Lan reads aloud.

Closing out of the message, Lan turns to Maylu.

"Usually, when Chaud sendsan email that serious, that meanshe knows something." Maylu says to Lan.

"Then, we have to go." Lan speaks, turning to the computer screen. Transferring Megaman to the PET, Lan jacks Megaman out of the computer terminal as Maylu does Roll. The two teens run out of the room and down the stairs, now heading towards the front door.

"Lan, your dinner is going to get cold." Mrs. Hikari says to Lan, as she enters the livingroom.

"I'll have take a rain check on dinner, mom." Lan says to his mom. "Something just came up that I have take care of it."

"Where are you going this late?" Mrs. Hikari inquires.

"I'll tell you all about it when I get back." Lan answers her, as he and Maylu slip out the door.

Mrs. Hikari lowers her head and releases a heavy sigh.

"That boy some days." Mrs. Hikari says to herself as she heads back into the kitchen, while shaking her head.

The abandoned mansion

The progress of the data transfer is finally complete as the body of the Net Navi has finally been constructed, along with the weapons of choice and the attacks of the navi, having been uploaded as well.

"The transfer is finally complete." Mr. Moss smiles to him. "My plan is coming together perfectly. Now that my Ultimate Net Navi has been built, nothing can stop me from taking over the world."

Hitting the enter button on the keyboard, the progress bar that reads 100 percent, disappears along with the screen that reads the Net Navi's stats.

"Now my Ultimate Net Navi, AWAKEN!" Mr. Moss screams.

The navi on the screen remains silent, that is, until a pair of red eyes open, revealing that it is, indeed, alive.

A/N: Ok, Chapter 3 completed. I apologize if I got the net navi's attacks wrong and/or mixed up and if I rushed any part of this chapter. The next chapter will be out when I can get another free moment. Please, no flames as I already apologized if the net navi attacks are all wrong. If anything is confusing, please let me know and I will modify it for you. If nothing else, please do review.

Review Please!
