During all of this, there were 2 figures talking in a hideout somewhere unknown to anyone (except themselves).

"So you say that everyone is dead now?" A mysterious figure said.

"Yes, Everyone is, including that 'top-notch' netbattler." Another figure said.

"Good, except for one thing Wily." The figure said.

"What is it?" Wily asked.

"That Hikari boy and his net-navi are still alive!" Yelled the figure.

"Oh well, Uhh…He's all alone and his net navi can't do all of the work and…" Wily said as he looked for an excuse for why he forgot to kill Lan and MegaMan.

"Never mind that, you've done your job. You are no longer needed." The figure said as he pulled out a shotgun.

"No! Please! I'll get him!" Wily said nervously.

"Goodbye, Mr. Wily." The figure said as he shot Wily dead (Commentary: serves him right!)

"Sir!" one of the figure's assistants said as he ran in the door.

"What is it!" The figure asked.

"PsychoDude is back, He brought the girl." The assistant said.

"Excellent. Now my plan will begin, I will just need one more. WHERE'S MEGATRON!" The figure asked.

"He's coming, he should be here soon." The assistant said.

"Good. You are dismissed and take the dead guy with you." The figure replied.

"Yes Sir." The assistant said. He then picked up the dead guy's feet and dragged him out.

" Hmm, Hmm! Soon the girls' "friends" will come to rescue them. But will instead join them in my devious plan." The figure said before he cackled.

Meanwhile In "The World", Shugo and new hero/best friend Lan were talking while strolling around the town area.

"Wow! This place is big!" Lan exclaimed.

"Every area is this big. There are some that are even bigger!" Shugo told Lan with a smile.

"Sounds like The Net." Mega Man said.

"Actually, you're on the net right now. The World is an online game that thousands of people play when they can." Shugo told Mega Man.

"Cool!" Lan and Mega Man said in unison.

Suddenly, Lan heard a scream.

"Huh?" He said as he looked around.

"Something wrong Lan?" Mega Man asked him.

"Did you hear that Mega Man?" Lan asked him.

"No, I can't say I did." Mega Man replied back.

"I heard it." Said Shugo.

"You did, then tell me where it came from!" Lan told Shugo.

Shugo just stood there quietly.

"ANSWER ME!" Lan yelled.

"Umm, over there!" Shugo said nervously.

Lan strapped on his rollerblades and started on in the direction that Shugo pointed in.

"Hey, Wait up!" Shugo yelled as he activated his speed charm item.

Shugo finally caught up with Lan and saw that Lan was not looking as cheerful as he had been.

"Something wrong?" Shugo asked.

"Who are THEY?" Lan asked him as watched in horror at what they were going to do soon.

"Oh, that's the…Debug team." Shugo told him.

"What are they doing to that poor girl!" Lan asked him.

"…." Shugo didn't say anything because he couldn't stand watching it either.

Flashbacks of destruction, death, blood and Mayl lying on the ground dying were flashing in Lan's mind.

"Grrr, I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN!" Lan yelled at himself.

He then took off down the road and right into the group that was about to kill the girl who was all dressed in white.

"TAAAAAAKE THIS!" Lan yelled as he attacked of the debuggers.

About this time, their leader had finally noticed that a boy had come.

When Lan finished fending off the attacks from the rest of the group, he then ran ramming speed into their leader, knocking him (or her) over. After he picked up the girl and ran back to Shugo, who was watching him in amazement.

"Are you O.K.?" Lan asked the girl.

"Y…yes." The girl answered.

"Don't worry, everything will be O.K.! You're safe with us!" Lan told the girl as he smiled at her.

" Wow! He's really nice and caring. Just like Rena said I was." Shugo thought to himself as he was running.

They stopped running and hid in an alley, Lan and Shugo sat down exhausted and out of breath.

"Lan." Mega Man said.

"Yeah, Mega Man?" Lan asked in between breaths.

"You were great back there buddy! Great job!" Mega Man told Lan.

"Yeah, You were really brave! I'd probably never be able to stand up against them like you did." Shugo added.

Lan smiled, "Thanks Guys!" He said.

"Thank you…for saving me" The girl said.

"Oh yeah, No problem! I just couldn't watch you die like that." Lan told her.

"You're a really nice person, Lan." Shugo told him.

"Aww, Thanks Shugo." Lan replied.

"Well, I'm tired and I think it's getting late." Lan said as he stretched, "I think we should set up camp here."

"Alright." Shugo said.

Shugo got a couple of sleeping bags and pillows from a nearby item shop and they all went to bed.

"Good Night Shugo, Good Night Mega Man!" Lan said he fell asleep.

"Good Night Lan." Shugo and Mega Man said back.

As for the mysterious girl, she slept between Shugo and Lan for protection in case the debug team came back for her.

Shugo started to have a dream about the times he spent with his sister.

He remembered the first time he signed on and the first he saw his sister (as "weird" looking as she was).

He remembered the adventures they went on together and the times they spent together after the "final mystery" was solved.

He then remembered the last time he saw his sister before got nearly killed and then kidnapped.

Shugo's eyes started to water again, His also clenched his fist hard as well.

"Oh man, I miss her so much!" Shugo thought to himself. "I hope she's O.K. wherever she is." He then continued.

Meanwhile, Mega Man was having a bad dream as well. A bad dream about what happened 3 days ago.

(Flashback) Mega Man was fighting one of Wily's most destructive viruses. However, he could also see on a screen that was in the battle area what was happening outside of the net.

(The next scene could get graphic. Once again, you've been warned.)

He saw people getting continuously shot at by the team that Wily had hired to exterminate the town's citizens. However, he kept on fighting, knowing the situation would only get worse. He was fighting with the help of another net navi that he knew (check chap#1 for name). They were both fighting together and almost defeated the virus. When Mega Man saw something on the screen that he thought looked familiar and then to his shock, he remembered what it was. It was his operator's house and it was on fire. Mega Man just stood there, weakened by the sight of his operator and Best friend's only home being destroyed.

"Ha Ha, Giving up so soon?" The virus asked him.

"NEVER! I'll get you for that!" Mega Man yelled as attacked the virus with everything that he had.

The other net navi that was there tried to help attack as well, but couldn't get to the virus because of Mega Man's attacks, which were full of rage and anger.

After a few powerful attacks, the virus was almost dead.

"Alright, We did it!" Mega Man cheered.

"I don't think it's done yet." His friend said.

Just then, the virus exploded and caused a big flash.

Mega Man and his friend had gone unconscious for a while after that. Mega Man then woke up to see his friend dissolving. He ran over to check on his heavily damaged friend.

"Hey, Are you O.K.?" Mega Man asked. His friend just laid there, still unconscious and now almost gone.

"Hang on, I'll help you!" Mega Man said as he attempted to save his friend.

However, before Mega Man could help. His friend was gone and to make things worse, he then saw his friend's operator get beaten up and then shot dead.

Mega Man was horrified and just stood there speechless. He looked at the screen that was showing what was happening outside, that was much worse. There looked to be no survivors and everything was burned to the ground. Mega Man was even more horrified. (End Flashback)

Mega Man clenched his fists and shuddered a little, "I hope Lan never asks about this because I can never tell him this. It would break his heart so much." Mega Man remembered vowing to never let his best friend know the full story.

The next morning, Shugo, Lan, and that mysterious A.I. girl walked along the town.

"Hey, how did you get here?" Shugo asked his new buddy and hero.

"I actually don't know. I just suddenly woke up here." Lan replied.

"Where are you from?" The A.I. asked.

"AC-DC Town in the Akihara area." Lan replied.

"So, are you going to try find a way to get home?" Shugo asked.

"SHUGO! DON'T ASK THAT!" Mega Man yelled.

"It's O.K., Mega Man. I can tell him." Lan replied in a more depressing tone, "No, I can't go home. I don't have a home or a family anymore." He continued.

"You don't? I…I…" Shugo said trying to find some way to make Lan feel better and apologize.

"It's O.K. Shugo." Lan replied.

"How did this happen?" Shugo asked.

"I don't know. I remember running in with my partner, Chaud to stop Wily and take down his massive virus when Mega Man electrocuted me. I was unconscious for awhile.When I woke up, Mega Man was there and refused to let me out of what he kept me in. I eventually got out and went towards the exit. Mega Man tried to stop me but I walked outside and…

(How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes

I've got no where to run)

…I saw my Hometown destroyed. Houses were on fire, smoke was rising into the air and there was blood all over the streets. (sniff) I then saw my best friend who I liked a lot on the ground bleeding near where my house used to be. I then woke up here. (Sniff) Mega Man was there the whole time comforting me, which helped me otherwise I would have wanted to kill myself." Lan said trying to hold back his tears.

(The night goes on

As I'm fading away

I'm sick of this life

I just wanna scream

How could this happen to me)

(Commentary: The song was the chorus for "Untitled" from Simple Plan)

"Aww!" Shugo said. He then bent down to dry Lan's tears and had a warm smile on his face.

"Thanks Shugo." Lan told him.

"No Problem, I'm sorry that happened to you. I feel so bad now." Shugo said.

"Why?" Lan asked.

"Because you suffered so much pain and tragedy in 1 day. In fact, I think I now understand why you rescued this Vagrant A.I." Shugo replied.

The A.I. girl then rubbed Lan's head while Shugo gave him a hug.

"Thanks!" Lan replied now feeling a little better.

"No Problem, Buddy! You tried to save my sister and help me, it's the least I could do!" Shugo said.

"Actually the least you could do is hand over that filthy data you call a friend." A voice said.

"WHO ARE YOU?" Lan yelled.

"I'm Kamui ,the leader of the Cobalt Brigade."

"The Who?" Lan asked.

"The Debuggers" Shugo whispered to him.

"Oh. You guys." Lan said.
