Dr. Regal – 200X
Hello everyone. Time for a more serious angsty Rockman Exe Fic. If you expect the good to triumph in this one, then don't even bother in reading this. Why? Keep reading as I update this and you will find out.
To start with, this was supposed to be a Doujinshi Manga made by me. But as I am too lazy, I'm making the Fic version of it. But obviously you're not gonna listen to me, aren't you? Let's go on with the story, shall we?
IntroductionThe year, 201X. Years have passed since Netto Hikari and his friends saved the world. But still, Regal's final words haunted Netto…. There is darkness within us all, and it will endure as long as humankind walks the earth… But by forgetting this, he kept on with his life.
Years have passed, and Youchiro Hikari, Netto's father is finally returning to Akihara after a 7 month business trip for a new program alongside Scilab.
In the middle of the musky night, where clouds gather up and the moonshines like a beam of light through the debris of time, the dark forest of the Densan Mountains blows a whispering wind of many untellable secrets. Glowing eyes from the wildlife adornates the darkness, as a bigger glow comes from the distance. As the light goes by, other squared lights follow it as well. It was the midnight train going to Akihara.
Within the train, many people, mostly tourists sit on their comfortable seats. Kids playing their portable videogames, and Navis in their PETs checking on info.
On one of the seats, a man with brown mid long hair and slim glasses reads a newspaper.
From the amidst of peace, the Speaker in the car comes to life with a few words followed after a sudden bell tone. "Attention passengers, we will arrive to Densan Station in about 5 minutes. Please keep your belongings with you and….." As the voice goes indinstinct, the man closes his eyes as he thinks. "Ah, finally. Back home after seven long months…" From the emptiness of his mind, memories travel looking for a certain moment. And voices come as the images take shape.
"But dad! You promised you would come in time!" A teenager boy around his late sixteens. His headband was unmistakable. He was Netto Hikari. "I know Netto, but something suddenly came to hand. I don't know if I will be able to finish this in time." Youchiro seemed to be hurried with some sort of project… "Dad…." Netto was looking down. "Okay okay. I promise I will finish this fast enough to get there at least in the beginning of the same day." "Promise?" "Hey, think I would miss my boy's Seventeenth birthday?"
He opened his eyes as he saw the ones around him. "And I'm gonna make it. Thank goodness peace has lasted this long. I bet he will love the new PET that Scilab just released."
Over by the captain cockpit, two men were seating and watching the enlightened railroad ahead. One of them was drinking his freshly made coffee as the other was trying to sleep. The blonde man from the right turns to the other brown haired man. "Hey, very good that things are doing this good, aren't they?" The other man came from his sleep trance as he heard the words. "Huh? Oh, yeah. No accidents, no raids, just some good ol' train action." The two men relaxed.
Outside by the mountain side, exactly on the peak of a mountain to be exact, a figure in darkness stands watching the traveling train. He grasps a PET as he aims it at the train. The red light travels to the train itself with a perfect aim.
Not so later after that, a strange red beeping resonates over the main console. "Huh? Is this what it is supposed to be?" The blonde man asked the other man. "Hmm…. Must be broken or something…" He tapped the main panel as the beeping stopped. "See? Told ya it was broken." But the train was going faster and faster after his words. "Are you sure it is broken?" The speed was reaching its regular Max in a very fast way. "Uh oh…"
The main alarm of the train's system resonated as the people aboard were growing on panic. Youchiro stood up as he ran over to the captain's cockpit. "Scilab personnel. What's going on here?" "We don't know! Suddenly there was a beeping and the whole train started to speed up!" "Hold on, must be a failure in the system. I'll try to override the command myself." Youchiro tapped fast on the main console. But some signal was denying his actions. "What? Some sort of program is blocking my actions on the panel!" As he smashed the panel, the industrial buildings of Densan were flashing by. At the current speed, they were going to crash in the station in about one minute.
Youchiro returned to the other car trying to open the main door to enable the emergency exit devices, but the door was locked shut. Whatever was interfering with the system also took care of the lock system as well. "What? Who is responsible for this?" As he ended speaking, the faint scream of the captains yelled with panic. "Oh no…"
The train zipped through the platforms of the station. And as it kept going to the dark tunnel, an explosion came from it. The explosion was strong enough to collapse the tunnel itself and close some halls of the station. Few moments later, in the crash area, many innocent people were killed. Some still dying, and others burned to death… between them, a burnt body reeks, being accompanied by a pair of bruised glasses.
