Chapter 14; My Turn
- - -- - Megaman's POV - -- -- -
The moment I opened my eyes, I could feel the immense amount of danger in the air. Getting up hurriedly, I let the green blanket resting around my shoulders fall off onto the ground, collapsing in a heap. My Operator was still asleep. Heck, of course he was. He'd sleep through anything if he got sugar through his system the night before. Especially those chocolate bars, uh, 3 Musketeers, with the whopping sugar count of 40 grams. And it didn't help that he'd eaten all four slices of cake, either. I sighed, a smile on my face despite the situation.
Turning the doorknob, I stepped out into the hall, then shut it, careful not to make any noise that would wake Netto up. Going down the stairs, Netto's mom and dad were sitting at the kitchen table, drinking their mugs of coffee and eating breakfast. Dad cast me a glance, as if he were trying to find out what I was doing. Mom wasn't looking my way, perhaps on purpose. I assumed that dad was suspicious of me, since I was without Netto.
But I shrugged that feeling off, the more present feeling of danger the first thing on my mind. I shot him a serious look, wanting to tell him that something was up. I think he got my point, because he'd turned back to look at mom, so as not to alarm her. Going to the window, I looked outside, but saw nothing that would pose such a threat that would create this feeling. Only the feeling of danger wasn't going away.
I was contemplating on going out to investigate when an explosion rocked the area, jolting me with the impact. Had I not been holding on to the windowsill, I would have fallen to the floor. I saw the doghouse-security system catch on fire without warning. Then the light bulbs in the streetlight lamps shattered from an overload of electricity, and manhole covers were being blown off, one after the other, towers of flames shooting up from underground. People were soon running scared; there was no order. I ducked from where I was standing by the window-pane, just in time to avoid being hit by one of the projectile manholes, which crashed through the window, shattering it. It landed on the couch, charring the fabric.
Mom had let out a terrified scream a few instants ago, dad coaxing her under the table, where they would be safe. I gritted my teeth after looking at their scared faces, their terrified and confused eyes staring at me. They didn't know what was going on, but I did. And what was happening did not have to involve them!
-- -Netto's POV-- - -
A tired boy's eyes opened wide at the sound of screaming, explosions, and widespread panic. Launching himself out of bed, he quickly ran down the stairs out of his bedroom, failing to notice that someone was missing. He was greeted by the sight of his mom and dad by the broken living room window. Mom looked terrified for her life, and dad was holding her, silent. Another explosion rocked the house, and electricity was crackling. It also felt like summer weather, when Christmas had been just the previous night.
Netto opened the front door to look, seeing that his parents weren't about to give him an explanation as to what was happening. He saw the glass of the street lights on the sidewalks, the manhole covers off, and the doghouse- security system smoking. "Lan, on the tv." Dad said, startling Netto for a second. He went back in, and rejoined his parents.
Dad had turned the tv on, and it showed his NetNavi Megaman standing protectively on the screen, back facing them, silent, his arm buster at the ready. It was pointed at something in the distance. There were 3 WWW NetNavis approaching him, Netto identified them as being Elecman, Bomberman, and Fireman. He saw an unidentifiable expression on Megaman's face before the blue Navi ran off, engaging all three of them in battle at once.
"Megaman saw what was happening and without a second thought, he jacked himself into the tv to protect us. If it weren't for him, none of us would be here..."
Netto heard his dad's voice. Shaking his head, he turned his eyes towards his dad's face.
"No! He can't fight yet, he's still too weak from last time!"
Dad put his attention towards the fight happening on the tv. After Bomberman attacked, Megaman dodged, but fell onto his knees, and looked to be breathing heavily. Elecman quickly took the opening, launching an electric burst, but Megaman had managed to compose himself in time to block it. Indeed, Megaman was having a hard time fighting.
"Even so, there's nothing we can do, because he went in without the assistance of the PET. Meaning that an Operator would be disconnected from the NetNavi."
Dad shook his head at the situation. Netto kept his attention on the tv, wishing that he could do something. In the end, there was really nothing he could do. He was unable to send any battle chips, and probably couldn't send him any useful advice as well. Megaman was protecting him and his family with his life... and he knew it. Although it looked like Megaman was outmatched, silently, in his mind, he was cheering his NetNavi on.
- -- --- Megaman's POV-- -- -
The WWW NetNavis had gone too far. Having infiltrated the Hikari household with the direct intent of causing them harm was the last straw. I stole an instant glance outside at my Operator and his parents. Netto-kun was watching me, and I could feel him encouraging me.
Quickly dodging Fireman's tower of flames, I shot back with my Rockbuster, which he dodged. Bomberman threw another bomb, which flew through the air, sparking. I scrambled out of the way, the explosion engulfing the area in which I had been in. I escaped, the blast having caught me though. I took a look at my bleeding leg, which let my guard down. Elecman's blast caught me by surprise. I screamed, feeling what must have been 100,000,000 volts of powerful electricity surge through my body. However, I didn't pass out because of the attack. I was still standing. For some reason, I felt more powerful... like I was ready to knock their lights out.
"Is that the best you've got?"
I aimed my Rockbuster back at them, scattering shots in a barrage. I saw the shots hit Fireman and Bomberman. The bomb he was holding went off before he could throw it, sending them flying. The two NetNavis were forced to plug out because of the damage. Now all that was left was Elecman... whom at that moment, I couldn't see, nor could I sense.
I looked around, scanning the battlefield, feet firmly planted on the charred floor, holding my ground. I needed to be sure to be ready for anything, had to be in control of this battle. A crackle in the air behind me alarmed me, as I threw myself away from my position, just as an electrical surge sparked up, creating a hole in the ground. Elecman charged me, knocking me down onto the ground, jolts of energy hitting me from his hands. I was losing consciousness, and fast. I suddenly knew that... I wasn't going to win this battle.
