Chapter 8: The birth of Megaman ZX.
" What Protoman became a darkloid again!" Chaud demanded snatching Lan's P.E.T away from him. Despite Lan's cry of ' Hey!' Megaman nodded.
" There was nothing I could do we couldn't stop him, and this time I fear for the worst Protman has become a darkloid before and it was hard for him to escape the dark chips grasped, but this time he was turned by a navi. I don't know how easy it will be to bring him out of it." Megaman said with a sigh. Lan finally grabbed his P.E.T back from Chaud and looked at Megaman.
" Well at least we got Glide back that's the main thing." He said suddenly Lan cried out a Chaud picked him up off his feet, the shock sent Lan's P.E.T crashing to the ground.
" How dare you!" Chaud yelled.
" How dare you tell me that getting Glide back is the main thing, my navi is a darkloid! So don't you dare tell me that getting Glide back was the main thing!" Chaud yelled tears streaming down his face, Lan looked at Chaud with sad eyes.
" Chaud I..." He said when suddenly Chaud's fist made contact with his face.
" Hey what the heck Chaud!" Lan yelled in anger. Chaud dropped Lan and looked at him with anger.
" Protoman and I have made sacrifices for you and Megaman for awhile now and you haven't once repaid us. Have you ever thought that for just one minute that Megaman would make a better darkloid!" He yelled now crying out of anger. Lan rushed Chaud to the ground.
" Snap out of it will ya, we're a team if one of us goes down the other's try their best to save him or her, that's what we did for Glide, and Roll and at one time we helped Protman, and we will do it again!" He yelled. Chaud looked at Lan as the two stood up and for the first time since he had recived the news Chaud smiled.
" Thanks Lan." He said. From the P.E.T that Lan had just picked up Zero spoke.
" I have a theory on how to save Protman and weaking Chaosman and Shaodwman in the process." The hunter said. Once again Chaud ripped the P.E.T out of Lan's hand and despite Lan's yell of ' Chaud!' he looked at Zero.
" How?" He asked as Lan pulled it free again. Zero smiled.
" It is called the powerlink method it is used to combined three navis together to form a more powerful navi. But there is a downside." He said with a sigh. Lan looked at Zero with a hint of confusion.
" How can something that can help us have a downside?" He asked. X appeared beside Zero.
" It takes a while to learn and all the navis that have tried it have failed, all but one a great net navi know as Virualman. He is the last of the three that formed the navi known as Darkapolase." He said. Megaman looked at Lan knowing what his net op was thinking.
" You want me to take Roll, Glide, Iceman, Gutsman, Zero, and X to find this Virualman?" He asked. Lan nodded and turned to the computer as X and Zero disappeared.
" Jack in Megaman Power Up!" Lan yelled activating his P.E.T and allowing Megaman access to the net. Maylu stood up beside Lan and held her P.E.T at the ready.
" Jack in Roll Power Up!" She yelled as Roll went to the net. Dex was next.
" Jack in Gutsman Power Up!" He yelled as Gutsman disappeared into the net. Tori was next.
" Jack in Iceman Power Up!" He yelled allowing his navi acees to the net. Yai was last.
" Jack in Glide Power Up!" She yelled as Glide went to the net.
Moments later Megaman and his friends appeared on the net. Megaman looked at his friends.
" Ok guys spilt up and check every inch of the net if you find something email our net op's, Zero and X you guys go with Roll and myself. Ok we'll meet back here in awhile. Ok move out!" Megaman yelled as everyone navi and net op nodded and left in search of Viuralman.
Deep in the Apocalyptic Realm Dark Protoman looked at Chaosman and Shadowman.
" Well should I stop them?" He asked. Chaosman shook his head.
" Not yet, let them have their fun, because I seem to remember that that powerlink method has been known to delete navi's." He said Shadowman laughed.
" And Megaman may be the first to fall to the powerlink method." He said, Dark Protoman nodded and looked back at the pictures flashing on the screen.
Back on the net Megaman sighed in defeat and looked at X than at Lan.
" Lan email the other's tell them to meet at your house. The search as ended. Let's face it Virualman is nowhere to be found." He said with a sigh. Lan nodded and sent the emails out. Moments later everyone was in their own P.E.T's looking at his friends Lan sighed.
" Well let's head out." He said when suddenly a voice rang out.
" I heard you were looking for me." The voice said. Lan looked behind him and saw a man no older that his father standing there.
" And you are?" He asked. The man smirked.
" My name's Drake and this here is Virualman." Drake said holding up a green and black P.E.T. Lan's face broke out with a smile but before he could introduce himself Drake spoke again.
" And you must be the infamous Lan Hikari, and that net navi in your P.E.T must be Megaman." He said. Lan nodded and looked at Drake.
" We need your help Drake." He said. Drake sighed.
" I figured as much. Virualman heard during his mission in the Apocalyptic Realm that a new darkloid was found. His name was Dark Protoman. And I know from keeping in touch in Mr. Famous that not only are you a famous net saver Lan, but so is Chaud and his net navi Protoman." He said Lan opened his mouth to speak but Drake rose his hand.
" And you think that the method of powerlinking will help you bring back Protoman?" He asked. Silently everyone nodded. Drake looked at the group.
" Very well tommorow we start your training all of you." He said pointing to everyone. Lan nodded and without a word turned his back on Drake and walked home along side Maylu.
The next day the group met up at the park already jacked in, and Drake readied his P.E.T.
" Ready to meet Virualman?" He asked. Everyone nodded. Drake smiled.
" Ok then Virualman Jack in and Power Up!" He yelled as a dark armoured navi about the size of Heavy Metalman appeared on the net, his body covered in green armour with black spikes, his hands hand huge gauntlets each the same size as Megaman's head on his back were spike like needles that suck out a bit like rockets, his symbol was that of the Ying Yang symbol only black and green not white and black. The navi looked at the group and smiled.
" Morning name's Virualman, and you all are?" He asked. Megaman stepped forward to shake Virualman's hand.
" Name's Megaman. And these are my friends. The pink navi to my left is Roll, the navi to my right is Gutsman, the one beside Gutsman is Glide, and the little parka wearing guy over there is Iceman." Megaman said Virualman looked at Iceman.
" And who are those two he is talking to?" The navi asked in confusion there were only five navi's on this net page and five net op's ( Because Chaud had to work that day mind you). Megaman laughed.
" Oh they are navi hunters known to almost everybody as Megaman X and Zero but X does fine." He said Virualman nodded, when suddenly he saw something he hadn't seen in awhile, little did everyone know but Megaman, Zero and X were all producing a faint gold light.
' Hmmm... Those three are producing the simmer of gold light a sign that maybe I can make a new powerlink navi out of these three. ' Virualman thought with a smile.
From the real world Drake looked at everybody.
" Lan. I want you to fight with Megaman, Zero, and X, and with your friends help try to take Virualman down. Ready begin!" Drake yelled. And so the training began, after hours of endless training Roll, Gutsman, Iceman, and Glide how to sit out. Megaman, Zero, and X fell to one knee. Virualman smirked.
" Giving up already?" He mocked. Both he and Drake knew the three navi's in front of him could powerlink, they just needed motivation. Megaman glared and ready his Megabuster when suddenly he felt his data flow out of him in streams of gold light, looking around he saw the same thing happen to Zero and X. Than unaware of what they were all saying the three spoke in unison.
" Powerlink engage!" They yelled moments later a navi stood where the three stood seconds ago. His armour was a mix of all three, trailing down his back was orange hair. His helment was the same design as Zero's only it had the colours of X's. His boots and gloves were the colour of Megaman's only it had red and black diamonds in the middel of each and a line trailing from the diamonds on his hands to his wrists where on his right a sheath was. And from that sheath shot out a gold sword, and on his left was a huge cannon. The navi opened his eyes to reveal gold eyes, a colour that described the spirits of Megaman, Zero, and X. Virualman laughed.
" You've done it, now if I may ask who are you?" He asked. The navi looked at Virualman with a smile.
" My name is Megaman ZX!" He yelled his voice a mix of Zero, X, and Megaman's. The new powerlink navi Megaman ZX had just been created, the war was taking a turn for the worst for the bad guys.
