Mamoru's Blizzard
Disclaimer: I do not own the Megaman Battle Network video game series or anything involved with them, just a few OCs.
"So Sean, what's your Navi's name anyway?" asked Mamoru, looking over at his friend. They had gone up to Sean's apartment to change into the suits that would protect them from the radiation. The suits, however, had the Gospel insignia on them, and Sean didn't want to patch over it, due to the fact it might affect the suit.
"Freezeman." said Sean quietly. "Even though I was just a child, before the… The crash, my wealth allowed my parents to buy me a NetNavi for when they went on trips and I needed to stay home. He was a kind Navi, until I… I used that Chip. The person who gave it to me told me it would help me with my plans, and it worked… Freezeman's soul was overpowered by darkness. However, I recently learned that it was only a prototype of the Dark Chips Nebula used. If I remove it from my old PET, Freezeman should, hopefully, revert to the way he used to be. Mostly, at any rate…" 'But a little bit of darkness will always be within him, as there is within me…'
"I see…" said Mamoru, nodding. The train stopped.
"We have arrived in Marine Harbor. Please exit the train in an orderly fashion."
"I checked up on it…" said Sean as he and Mamoru exited the train and went over to the bench. Sean sat down while Mamoru just wheeled himself next to the bench. "And the train to Kotobuki arrives in about fifteen minutes. So, do you want to go grab some food or just stay here?"
"Well…" Mamoru frowned. "Are you hungry? I'm not…"
"No…" replied Sean with a chuckle. "Okay, so we wait here?"
"Yeah…" Mamoru wheeled over to the magazine rack and picked up one for beginning NetBattlers, while Sean pulled out something from his backpack, most likely homework, and began doing it.
"Hey, Mamoru." said Blizzardman. Mamoru pulled his PET from it's holster and looked at the screen.
"Yes Blizzardman?" questioned Mamoru.
"Do you know which person in your class has a NetNavi named Leviathan? She looked pretty strong and I'd like to NetBattle her some day!" exclaimed Blizzardman, finishing off with a whoosh.
"Sorry Blizzardman, the only Navis I know are Megaman, Cinnamon, Massimo, and you." replied Mamoru apologetically.
"It's all right!" replied Blizzardman, making a whoosh again. "I'll just ask when you go to school tomorrow!"
Mamoru chuckled and went back to look at the magazine. He raised a curious eyebrow when he saw a warning for chip usage.
"Say, Sean?" said Mamoru. His companion looked up from some Algebra problems. "What kind of chips are Muramasa and Anubis?"
"Oh…" Sean sighed. "Nebula also made minor dark chips. Originally, those chips were regular Mega Chips. Now though, they can only be used when your Navi is tainted by darkness. Scientists are trying to fix the problem though. Anyway, if you ever get one of them, hold on to it but don't use it."
"Okay then." replied Mamoru.
Mamoru and Sean got off the train and stared at the apartment building before them. It was one of the tallest buildings Mamoru had ever seen.
"And the old Gospel Headquarters was up there?" said Mamoru incredulously. Sean nodded. "… There's an elevator, right?"
"No stairs, so it better be working…" muttered Sean as he walked ahead, Mamoru wheeling behind him. After going down to the entrance of the apartment building, Mamoru checked himself, making sure his suit was on. "Well, let's go inside."
Sean pushed open the door before looking inside. The lobby looked the same as it had looked when he left, if a bit dustier. Sean walked inside and held opened the door so Mamoru could wheel himself in.
"Now what?" asked Mamoru, looking up at his gray haired friend.
"We go up." replied Sean, walking towards the elevator. He pushed the arrow pointing upwards, but nothing happened. He scowled and kicked the elevator door. To his surprise, it opened, making creaking sounds as it did so.
The two middle school students blinked.
"Is it safe?" asked Mamoru, wheeling over to the elevator and looking inside. Sean walked in ahead of him, and Mamoru followed. Now, they were in the elevator. However, the doors weren't closing.
"It's probably broken…" muttered Sean. "But we should still try…"
Sean tapped on the button marked "30F," and then, surprisingly, the door closed and the elevator lifted up.
"It's probably just old." said Mamoru finally. Sean nodded. "So, what do we do once we get to the top?"
"My PET is in the main server room. You'll have to Jack In and find Freezeman, and…" Sean stopped when the elevator shook and the lights began flashing. "What the…?"
"Jack In, Blizzardman, execute!" exclaimed Mamoru, aiming the sensor on the PET to the Jack In sensor on the elevator's controls. A few seconds later, Blizzardman had been loaded onto the net. "Blizzardman, are there viruses in there messing
Blizzardman looked around, but did not see anyone. That is, until a loud voice yelled something out.
"NEON LIGHT!"
Blizzardman turned around as multicolored light bulbs shot across the tiles, until they reached him.
"Argh!" exclaimed Blizzardman. He looked up at his enemy. It was a NetNavi, The Navi had blue armor covering it's chest, shoulders and arms. It's boots were rather large looking with white tips, and it's face was metallic. On it's head and shoulders were light bulbs, and it's icon was on the back of it's hand armor. The icon looked like a spark in a black circle.
"Who are you and why are you messing with the elevator?" asked Sean, looking over at Mamoru's PET. The screen now showed a view of the area that Blizzardman was.
"I am Flashman, and this is my territory." said the NetNavi. He removed a light bulb from his shoulder and pointed it at Blizzardman. "Now then… Neon Light!"
"Here we go Blizzardman! Aqua Whirl1, double chip download!" exclaimed Mamoru, inserting two chips into his PET. "And here's something to defend yourself! Barrier, battle chip download!"
"Aqua Whirl!" yelled Blizzardman, kicking up his skis. From underneath them, two spinning whirlpools came and charge towards Flashman, going around his Neon Light attack. Then, Blizzardman activated the barrier just as the Neon Light got close.
"Hah!" exclaimed Flashman as he leapt over the whirlpools. He chuckled and ran towards Blizzardman.
"Snow Rolling!" exclaimed Blizzardman, kicking his skis once again. This time however, it was his own ability and not a battle chip, unleashing an enormous snowball that charged at Flashman.
"That's too slow!" exclaimed Flashman, attempting to side step. But just as he moved his foot, the two spinning whirlpools came back and hit him from behind, tossing him right in the snowball's path. "What?"
"Aqua Whirls come back to Blizzardman." explained Mamoru. "Now while he's down, Rainy Day, battle chip download! And… What should I use next?"
"This is just fine Mamoru! Rainy Day!" yelled Blizzardman, pointing one of his ski poles at Flashman. After that, a cloud appeared over Flashman and began pelting him with rain and ice.
"Did we get him?" asked Mamoru, taking a deep breath in. He finally understood why NetBattling was so popular. It was intense and exciting, even though this battle was one sided.
"No, you didn't!" came Flashman's voice. Blizzardman's eyes widened and he turned around just as Flashman aimed his open palm at him. "Spark Arm!"
Thunder flew from Flashman's hand in a cross-shape, and Blizzardman had no time to dodge.
"AAAAH!" yelled Blizzardman as he fell to the ground. Flashman laughed.
"I'm not that weak…" chuckled Flashman as he walked over to the fallen Blizzardman.
"What should I use?" exclaimed Mamoru, looking through his folder. Sean's eyes widened when he saw one chip.
"Use this!" exclaimed Sean, pulling out the chip and handing it to Mamoru, who eyes widened, before he grinned.
"Hah! That stung a little!" exclaimed Blizzardman. "Now it's my turn, Rolling Slider!"
Blizzardman began spinning towards Flashman, and as he did so, his body slowly began a large snowball. Flashman jumped, but still got hit by the top of the snowball, causing him to land in a heap on the ground.
"Panel Out1, Water Line, Aqua+40, triple chip download!" exclaimed Mamoru, pushing in each chip.
"Panel Out!" On the Net, one of Blizzardman's ski poles changed into a pickax, which he smashed to the ground, making a hole. "WATER LINE!"
Flashman turned around with wide eyes as water flew from the hole right at him.
"Damn it… Rei, jack me out now!" yelled Flashman. The Navi turned his head to Blizzardman, as the Water Line approached at high speeds. "We'll meet again- WHAT?"
To his obvious surprise, the water line crashed right on top of Flashman.
Flashman, Jacking Out
"I… We…" stammered Mamoru, catching his breath. The elevator's lights came back on and it began moving again.
"It's working again." remarked Sean.
"We won!" cheered Blizzardman as he skied over to where Flashman was, as if checking that he was really gone. "Hey! He left something behind!"
"Chip data…" said Sean from behind Mamoru's wheelchair.
"Well, let's download it then…" said Mamoru, pulling out a blank chip and inserting it into his PET. The chip came back out with a picture of Flashman on it. "Whew… That was… That was amazing!"
"It was!" agreed Blizzardman. No words could explain the rush he had felt, working side by side with Mamoru… It was so different from what he had been used to…
"Well Blizzardman, let's jack you out and go get Freezeman." said Mamoru happily.
