Our Game cube is messed up. I think the only way we can play is if we put it in the fridge or freezer. I bet the next time we play is in the winter. It keeps on saying that the disk could not be read please read the Nintendo instruction booklet for more information. So aggravating. We really want to play ToS bad. (Tales of Symphonia)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but er…um…my old science textbook.
But then again. If it didn't break down I wouldn't be updating. ) good news for you guys no?
Surprises
Chapter 19: Our Enemies
"Their viruses are crashing our communication with security!" Famous worked madly on the computer.
"How else would you think to keep you inside? Bribe you and say if you stay and die below our feet we'll give you lollipops?" Empress smirked.
"There's got to be some way to stop them!" Dr. Hikari hesitated. "They're hacking into our entire system! If they're not stopped soon, We'll be entirely under their control!"
A worker from Sci-lab couldn't enter the room. He banged on the door.
"Dr. Hikari! Famous! Are you two okay in there?" He called.
"We're fine! For now…" Dr. Hikari called back.
Lan and Chaud exchanged looks then nodded.
"Jack in! Megaman!"
"Protoman!"
Megaman and Protoman appeared…surrounded by viruses…and taking them out…one by one by one…
And one by one by one they appeared again. After a couple minutes, they were panting with tire.
"You know…it's a shame we should leave the good stuff for the hungry viruses." Empress wondered out loud.
"What are you suggesting?" Dark Knight asked her. (A/N: Dark Knight is a GIRL. Dark Knight is SLAYER. And Dark Knight AND Empress are infected with the same virus that Yahoot gave Maylu to give to Roll. I couldn't find a way to explain in the story. ;;)
"I don't want to think of myself as lazy. You know. One of those lazy mortal queens that just watched their minions do their dirty work for them." Empress said.
"Agreed. We'll just have to distract them so the viruses can corrupt the mainframe, then we'll take over." Dark Knight agreed. She grinned. "It'll be a nice refresh as a welcome to this world."
Empress grinned as her whip appeared in her hand. "Let's go then…" She and Dark Knight sprang up.
Protoman watched as a string of Spikeys materialized and disappeared before him. He turned to see how Megaman was doing.
Suddenly, he felt a presence near Megaman. Something was coming…hard. He looked above Megaman's head…it was Empress.
"Watch out Megama-AH!" Something had pinned him to the ground. He struggled to look up only to see that Megaman was pinned by Empress and was being beaten. He tilted his head upwards slightly to see that Slayer, or now know as Dark Night, had pinned him on the ground.
Protoman growled. He struggled to get up, but was held down again. Dark Knight knelt down next to his ear.
"How does it feel fool? You're a mere navi compared to the likes of me…having to be able to be held down with such little strength of no effort." she hissed.
Protoman roared.
"You're pitiful Megaman. You're weak, hopeless, and pitiful. You hear me Megaman? That is the very reason, why I'm going to be the last thing you see before you get deleted…and never come back again. You were lucky that time. Having to be able to be revived. But those are ridiculous, worthless memories. Memories that don't need to be remembered." Empress said as she lifted Megaman's chin with her whip.
Empress let Megaman go, then kicked him, causing him to fly back against a wall.
"UGH!"
"Megaman!" Lan called. "Get up!"
Megaman struggled to get up, but couldn't. Empress raised her finger and electrocuted him, just as she did during the N1 Grand Prix.
"As I said before, you will be deleted." She grinned. She lifted her whip, and started beating him again. (A/N: I would describe it, but it's too horrible…I can't imagine typing this down. POOR MEGAMAN! You're not the only one who can read you know!)
"Megaman! We have to stop this! Cyber sword battlechip in dow-"
"No! Roll is our friend! We can't hurt her!" Megaman halted him.
"But…" Lan thought about Maylu. It was bad enough for her to be captured. What if she finds out that Roll was gone too? Lan would never forgive himself.
"You have to find another way to stop her!" Megaman called back in pain.
"What is it Megaman? Is it too much for you?" Megaman looked up in pain again. Empress cackled again.
"This is just getting started…" she called out her viruses, and ordered them to attack Megaman. Megaman scowled and started to delete the viruses one by one again.
Suddenly, he felt pain in his back.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed in tremendous pain.
"MEGAMAN!" Lan yelled. "NO!"
Chaud looked to the side at his partner. Lan was not having the best time with how Megaman was doing. He tried to remember what he saw back at the company building. The signal Protoman found was a strong signal. If he was right then…
"Lan! Come on! We've got to go quick!" Chaud called.
"No! Megaman will be-"
"You're not going to fight Empress, so what's the use standing here? Come on!"
"But-" Chaud didn't wait. He went over and grabbed Lan's arm and pulled him away.
"Chaud! What do you-" Lan was interrupted again.
"If you want to save Megaman, then shut up and let's go!" Chaud snapped. Lan gasped as Chaud let go of his arm and ran in front. Lan stopped briefly, to recover from the encounter, then pulled himself together, and ran after Chaud.
Lan followed Chaud up the stairs on to the top floor. Chaud stopped there.
"What is it?" Lan asked.
"Something's here…" Chaud scanned the room. "Look for something movable or suspicious of some sort." Chaud started looking and pushing around the equipment.
"Okay…" Lan followed what Chaud was doing.
10 minutes later
Lan moved away a large machine only to find that he was facing the wall. He sweatdropped. 'Darn. I thought I'd find something here. Now I have to move all this back in place. Hm…is it me, or is it hot in here?' Lan felt something burning his back.
"Lan! Get away!" Chaud called. Lan heard something charging behind him.
"Huh? Ah!" Chaud ran over and rammed into him so that he slid away.
"What the-?" The machines that Lan had miraculously lined up had a straight line going through them. It was a laser, as Lan had observed, and was coming through a small wall on the other side of the room. The laser went through all four of the machines that Lan had pushed and pulled around. Lan and Chaud watched as the laser met the other side of the wall and revealed a black opening in which looked like a small whole in the wall.
Lan cautiously crawled over and put his hand against it. Amazingly, it went right through. Once he felt that it went through, he jerked it back.
"Whoa!" Lan was back.
"It leads somewhere. Let's end this Lan." Chaud and Lan nodded, then crawled through the small opening.
Empress was coming in on another attack, and Megaman was her target.
"Ah!" Megaman prepared to shield himself from being deleted.
Protoman looked over his shoulder and saw Megaman. He rushed over, and shoved him to where the attack from Empress wouldn't effect.
CRASH!
Bits of data from her charged attack flew everywhere and left only a steep hole in the ground.
"Th-Thanks Protoman…" Megaman stuttered.
"Hm…this is beginning to become a problem." Dark Knight floated over to Empress.
"I'll handle it." Dark Knight said in reply.
"I knew you'd say that." Empress closed her eyes and grinned. Dark Knight floated over between Megaman and Protoman. She raised her arms.
"NIGHT!" She called above, raising her head. A large black line appeared that seemed to stretch endlessly both ways, then grew to be a wall between Megaman and Protoman.
"Protoman!" Megaman exclaimed. 'I need his teamwork!'
"You're mine Megaman! Without your pathetic ally with you, you will be deleted!" Empress slapped him, and then started beating him again.
"How do you feel Proto fool?" Dark Knight grinned. "Without your precious Megaman, you're even weaker the before!"
Protoman scowled as he attacked Dark Knight again. But like before, Protoman was getting weak, and his attacks were being dodged or blocked.
"Keep this up and you'll just be committing suicide." Dark Knight grinned. She blocked another attack with her sword (The same one that Slayer used by is black) and then pierced the side of Protoman's waist. This was going to be a long time to recover. It was only a scratch but…
"AH!" Protoman held his side in pain.
"It's only a mere scratch but if it's struck by my sword epée, it's poisoned. Slowly and painfully it'll eat you away until you're entirely gone." she grinned.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" Megaman hit the wall again. He was close to being deleted by now, with Empress approaching. Her whip turned into a sword and she lifted her sword.
She raised her sword as if to strike down on Megaman. "Say goodbye Megaman."
Protoman held his arm. The attack was starting from his arm. As Dark Knight said earlier, slowly, and painfully.
'Ah…there's got to be a way to end this…' Protoman was weak. In fact, paralyzed. Paralyzed from pain. And deep in his heart, he knew something on the bottom of his heart wanted him to save her…for some reason. It seemed that she had become a friend of his. Or some sort that is.
Dark Knight walked over to Protoman.
"Au Revoir Protoman." Dark Knight grinned evilly. "I'll pay my respects. Any last wishes before leaving this world?" she asked.
"W-What is this…!" Chaud rasped out.
"I-I think w-we're in a dimensional area…but how?" Lan wondered.
"Who goes there!" an young but evil voice called.
Lan and Chaud looked up. There, sat a young man sitting on what it seemed to be a throne. He was purple, with fangs, black wings and a cape. He had black hair with young white streaks. His eyes were a yellow that glowed in the dark. He seemed to covered in fog and haze or some sort.
"You…" he hissed.
"Who are you?" Lan demanded meekly.
The figure cackled.
"Usually, I'd rather not give my name and say, 'Who are you to ask for my name?' but I can't say that now can I? …Lan Hikari? Chaud Blaze?" (A/N: XD Lloyd Irving. XD did I spell that right?)
Lan and Chaud gasped.
"How'd you get our names?" Chaud demanded. Immediately, the figure started laughing again.
"Since you're here and will be demolished pretty soon, I guess I can fill you in." he said. "…My fellow net saviors."
"What?" Lan asked.
"I do know that you remember a great and powerful navi named Shademan do I recall?" the figure asked.
"S-Shademan? Yeah…he's gone." (A/N: Kids WB never showed the entire season of axess so I have to make part of this up. But I did do research on Rockman.exe though. So it should have some resemblance.)
"If you're thinking of taking revenge for him on us, we already did the dirty work. Laserman and Regal did that is." (A/N: Was it Laserman? Is that how you spell Regal?) Chaud told him.
"But if you let him have his way, he wouldn't of perished the way he did that day. And that is why I, Hazeman, will avenge Shademan and destroy sci-lab and the filthy people and net saviors there. And maybe I'll let Empress and Dark Knight have what they want to…" he pondered off.
"What did you do to Roll and Slayer!" Lan snapped. Hazeman cackled.
"What did I do?" He laughed. "Oh it was quite easy. Simply steal the pitiful human's PET after they're knocked out cold, force the navi to remove itself, disable them, and corrupt them with a special virus or chip I geniusly created."
Lan sweatdropped.
"Geniusly isn't even a word! Sheesh…and you're calling yourself a genius." Lan stared comically and crossed his arms.
"Eh…um…grr…DOESN'T MATTER! Enforced with a piece of the dark chip added to the power of the infected Great White Angel Chip, the two navis are mine from now on!" he cried.
"…And there's no way to stop me. Once I activate the dimensional area satellite, the dimensional area, equipped with the dark chip, will trap sci-lab, along with everyone and thing inside it. I'll release the dark chip clone navis, and I think you know what'll happen after that point." Hazeman made a fist. "Boom!" He said quietly, releasing his fist to reveal his five fingers and a small explosion floating a top of it. He grinned evilly.
"And those who get away, we'll track them down, hunt them down, stalk em' down, and kill em. Make them go boom!" Hazeman grinned evilly. (A/N: I should've called him Boomman XD)
"And if you think that you can just go and use your pitiful navis to find the generator, TOO BAD. One thing, my dear ladies are probably finishing them off by now. Also, if not, which the chances of are quite slim to the impossible, you won't be able to find it." He sniggered. "I'm enforced. Enforced everything with the dark chip that is. Remember that large barrier you saw the other day? With Generalman and all? Yes, it was me who Generalman was loyal to. Well, it was black. Do you know why?" Hazeman grinned.
Chaud let out a small gasp. "Y-You enforced it with a dark…chip…that's how you managed to get…a dimensional area in a dimensional area!"
"I see you have been paying attention and doing your homework." Hazeman said sarcastically, although Lan and Chaud didn't think it was so funny. Besides. Lan never pays attention in class or does his homework. But then again…never say never.
"It won't be as easy to get in. You only managed to get in because of a stupid hacker on your side. Now, that we have her captive, you won't be getting in. Or for those who are in, won't be getting out." he smirked. "Okay, I've done my speech. Now what are YOU going to do?"
Lan and Chaud scowled.
'There's got to be a way…' Lan thought. 'Everything has it's weakness…we'll just have to find it step by step…'
"Step by step…" Lan thought about what had happened lately. GENERALman, the gas release, the holding captives at the banquet, this all sounded like the steps of a Medieval times war. 'Steps…retrace…' Lan and Chaud exchanged looks and nodded. (A/N: How many times have I done that?)
"Going backwards, we'll just have to plot a way to stop them…" Lan said to him. (Hazeman was too busy cackling to pay attention.)
"So far, his plan is to release the Dark Chip navis in large quantities, trap them all in a small, corrupted space within the dimensional area, and have everything within be destroyed." Chaud concluded.
"So we have to stop the navis, and rid of the dimensional area." Lan said.
"Mm…but we can't stop the navis, we don't know how they're produced."
"They're clones. And if he wants to release that many navis in one destination, he'd need a lot. So, there must be a…some kinda machine that produces these navis in a fast manner." Lan said.
"Don't even try to find it." Hazeman interrupted. He started cackling again. "It's impossible, the only way you could find it is-mm?" Hazeman looked around. No Lan. No Chaud.
"Dangit. DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT A POOR, LONELY, SOUL SUCH AS I!"
"It's probably pretty precious. I bet he put it somewhere where no one will find it." Lan said when the got outside.
"Do you think It has anything to do with the machines I pushed?" Lan asked.
"I'm not sure. All I found were some mirrors, machines, and dust." Chaud replied.
"Mirrors?" Lan questioned.
"Yeah. Mirrors and holes in the ground." Chaud thought for a moment. "That's got to be an answer somehow." Chaud walked over to where he found a mirror and hole.
"I get that the holes probably shoot lasers, but what about the mirrors?" Lan thought out loud.
"These are the type of lasers that pierce through anything. Did you see those machines?" pointed at the holes in the machines.
"Not unless you…" Lan stopped.
"Unless you reflect the laser!" Chaud exclaimed in realization.
"That's got to be it!" Lan exclaimed.
"The mirrors have to be arranged in a certain position in order for the lasers to hit a certain point!" Chaud said.
"Now all we need is a bird's-eye-view." Lan sighed.
"Maybe we can get a diagram with our PETs." Chaud took out his PET and started clicking around with it. Lan just stared and winced.
"Got it. This is the position it's in now." Chaud showed Lan his PET. Lan thought it looked like a bird with an anvil on it's head. He raised an eyebrow.
"That looks like a bird with an anvil dropping on it's head." Lan said. Chaud titled his head.
"Hey…you're right…hm…anyway. We have to find out in what directions are we supposed to move the mirrors in." Chaud looked around.
"So we'll just have to make a shape out of these pieces or dots which are the machines out here." Lan pointed his thumb at a machine behind him without looking.
"Yeah…Something that resembles Hazeman…" Chaud thought. He started to move around the dots. The machines started to move in where Chaud moved the dots. One machine hit Lan and made him fall over on his head with his bottom sticking up. Chaud sweatdropped as Lan glared at him.
Chaud laughed nervously. "Eh heh heh heh…sorry."
"Grr…" Lan sat back up. (They were on the floor.) "How come the machines moved when you moved the dots?" Lan asked.
"I connected the equipment with my PET without cords. That way we won't have to be here all day moving equipment. Unless…you really WANT to."
"Oh. Um…I'll stick with this. Hey, let me try." Chaud gave Lan his PET. The machines started to move again as Lan moved his hand.
"There!" Lan grinned proudly.
"Hm…EH?" Chaud took the PET and his eyes widened comically. (A/N: You know, those eyes.)
"C-Curry?" Chaud stuttered out. Lan made an I shrug with his hands. He shrugged.
"Hey. I'm hungry." Chaud fell on the floor. (A/N: Anime style)
"Take this seriously Lan!" Chaud yelled at him with a vein popping up on his head. Lan sweatdropped.
"Okay, okay, gees." Lan waved his hands in front him. Chaud took back his PET and started moving around the machines again. This time, he hit himself.
"Ow…" Chaud rubbed the back of his head. Lan burst out laughing on the ground. Chaud got the vein on his head again and kicked Lan.
"Ow! Okay, okay! Here, let me try again." Lan took it back. He moved around the dots.
CRASH! (A/N: I actually typed "CASH" before XD)
The screen zooms out to the view of the entire building.
"LLLAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!" You hear Chaud yell angrily. A small diagram comes up that seems to be colored in by a child's crayons which show to figures. One you can tell is Lan and the other Chaud.
We see that Lan is on top of Chaud and there are two machines behind them. One behind where Chaud was sitting before which made Chaud fall over, and one behind Lan which made Lan fall over. Chaud has a vein again. Lan sweatdrop.
