Hey! Wow, I have absolutely never ever gotten this much feedback on one chapter. Thanks to all who reviewed:

Tamarenian Angel: I think that it's better that you read it online. End of discussion.

Holypanl: Thanks a bunch for the appreciation. I'm honored that you think this is better than your own work. And, no, this is not a relationship. There are no crossings in this first fic, though maybe in a later one. And, no offense, I would absolutely never ever cross with Roll. Or Maylu for that matter. I think it's best if you don't know why. I'm just not like you... (Hint: This is how I think you should do your responses.)

Spiecas: Here's the answer to your wish. By the way, love your fic.

Jabber-Nut Foxypants: What a strange name. What's the acronym stand for?

Acrid Fop: Thanks that you think this fic is of higher quality than others. I didn't give a description of the mysterious navi for the basic purpose of keeping him mysterious. I think you can understand that.

Vyser Adept of Dragons: Thank you very much, and try not to give away to much yet. Save them for after I introduce them...

And now in it's world premiere...Ch. 2 of the epic novel, Power Surge!

The following day, Maylu met up with Lan in the park. When she approached him, he was sitting with his head bent toward the ground like he was asleep. Actually, he was asleep. "Lan! Lan!" Maylu tried shaking him awake, but to no avail.

Roll tried the same to Megaman who was temporarily inactive. She had more luck than Maylu. "Hmm...what?" Megaman was still only half awake.

"Hey, long day yesterday?"

"Yea. These electrical problems are becoming a real pain."

Maylu finally succeeded in rousing Lan, by splashing water on him. "Hey! Watch the PET!"

":Sorry Lan. Anyway, why are you so tired?"

Lan took off his headband to wring it out. "Yesterday was a killer. Five electrical system failures within an hour, then four throughout the day."

"Wow, they really are getting bad."

"Yea, and we still have no clue as to the cause. Not even Chaud has caught the person responsible."

Maylu remembered the previous day's incident. "Hey, we spotted someone supicious."

"Really, when?"

"Yesterday. There was a problem with the library's climate control unit. When I jacked in Roll, this weird navi showed up. We never saw him before."

"Hmm... Did you get a name? Maybe Megaman andI have seen him before."

"Nope, no name. And even wierder: He got a battlechip from an Op, butI didn't see anyone around with a PET."

"Hey, Lan. I think I saw him, too."

Lan whirled on his PET. "And you're just telling me this now, why?"

Megaman grinned sheepishly. "I didn't recall it until now. And anyway, it was just a glimpse of him logging out as we got to the place." A beep sounded from the PET. "Incoming transmission from Mr. Famous, Lan."

"Put him on." Famous's face tookup the screen as Megaman's image moved to a small screen in the upper corner. "What's up, Mr. Famous?"

"How many times do I have to tell you? No 'Mr.'! It's just Famous."

"Right, anyway what's the problem?"

"Another situation at Dentech Power Plant."

"We're on our way."

"And Lan, keep an eye out for aunidentified navi. It's been appearing throughout the City network, particulary in trouble spots."

"Will do, Mr. Famous."

"It's just-"

Lan ignored him as he closed the connection. "Sorry, Maylu but duty calls..." He sighed. "...again."

Maylu watched him as he skated off down the street. "Guess we're not the only one's to see this new navi."

"Guess not."

From off in the distance, Lan could see the smoke. It came billowing out of various windows of the plant. "Looks pretty bad, huh?" Megaman commented.

"Yea, we better hurry and get in there."

Lan raced into the building and headed for the nearest smoking room. He nearly collided with one of several workers dashing out.He stopped to reprimand Lan. "What are you doing here? This area is for authorized-"

Lan silenced them by flashing his Net Saver hologram program. "I need you to take me to the closest terminal."

The worker nodded and quickly led Lan back into the room he had just exited, explaining the situation as he went. "I don't know what happened. The alarm went off and the panels started shorting out and smoking."

'Don't worry sir, we'll take care of it. Ready, Megaman?"

"Ready as ever."

"Alright then, let's do this. Jack in, Megaman, power up!"

Megaman materialized in the Plant system to find Elebee and Demoneye viruses, but also something else. "Hey, Lan. That navi Maylu and Mr. Famous were talking about is in here already."

Lan shot a look atthe worker. "Did you see anyone else enter the plant anywhere?"

"No, no one, honest." He answered nervously.

Lan turned back to his PET. "Try and find out who he is, Megaman."

Megaman nodded and headed toward the distant figure, using his Megabuster to clear any stray viruses as the majority of them were engaged in attacking the lone navi. A sudden shout came from the pile of viruses. "Elec Spread!"

Megaman dodged to one side as several rapidly widening lines of electricity shot throught the crowd of viruses. The attack left open a path for Megaman to dash in and get to the navi. "Who are you and what are doing in the City network?"

The navi ignored him and continued deleting viruses. "Shock Blaster!" After firing a few shots, the navi glanced back at Megaman briefly then turned full toward and fired in his direction. At that range andwithout warning, dodging was out of the question. Megaman flinched as the shot whizzed by him. How could he have missed at this range? he thought. Looking up, he saw a virus's data dispersing that had been sneaking up behind him. "Hey, uh, thanks."

The navi shrugged. "Watch your back," it warned.

"Wide Sword, battlechip in, download!"

Megaman slashed the remaining viruses, which had been coming around behind him. The system returned to normal. He turned back tothe navi. "Hey, tha-He's gone!" Lan swung around quickly, but saw no one. Megaman sighed from his PET. "Oh, well, lost him again. At least we can tell Mr. Famous that we think he's a good guy."

"Yea, butI still wish we had found out for good."

"At least, you have time to go do your homework now, Lan."

"AAAAH! Please, please let there be another mission!"

The navi escaped again! When will we find out who he is? Maybe next time? Anyway, stayed tuned for Ch. 3.
