Megaman Battle Network: The Foundation.
Chapter Four: Reality Shift.
It has been a week since Haruka and Yuichiro disappeared and Lan and Megaman were depressed. He was watching T.V. when he heard the door bell, with a little effort he got up and went to the door.
"Hey Lan." Mayl said. "I came to see how you and Megaman were doing."
"Not so hot. I'm just having a hard time believing that my mom is responsible for all this. When I think about mom I feel depressed and then I eat, getting fatter and that gets me thinking about mom…"
"I know you feel bad about this but I can't help be mad at her. I mean why her family would even think like that? I look at what she did to and…but I shouldn't be saying things like that, she's your mom."
"It's ok Mayl, I need to get off my big butt and do something about this. I need answers from my mom and to get them I have to find her."
"Okay, well I'll see you at HQ later bye." Mayl then gave him a kiss on the cheek. As she walked down street Mayl lost her smile. A chubby little kid stared at her for just a little bit. "What are you looking at?" Mayl snapped. The boy started to cry.
"Mayl, what's wrong with you? Ever since this whole thing started it doesn't take much to get you upset." Roll said.
"Well, what would you know about it? Because digital being fat doesn't affect you at all but I'm getting slower and you don't even care how ugly we've been getting!" Mayl said.
"Ugly? Mayl how can you say that? Did you think Dex was always ugly? Is that what you think when you look at me?"
Mayl started to cry. "No just me, I'm a big blob of blubber! How can Lan stand me?"
"Mayl, Lan loves you. You've been close since you were little. He loves you for who you are not what you look like."
"Thanks Roll." Mayl sniffed. "Let's get going."
At a secret Foundation lab Haruka and Yuichiro were making the final touches on the Dimensional Area Generators. "We're almost ready; all we need to do is set them up at the launch sites and activate them." Yuichiro said.
"Then we'll ship them out tonight. Now we need to talk about Lan." Haruka said.
"You want him to understand."
"I just need him to be here to talk to him when we activate."
"We just need to send him a message and he'll be here."
Lan, Chaud and Mayl were at Net Police HQ. "Lan you got mail. It's from Mom!" Megaman said.
"She wants to see us. There is an address." Lan said.
"Lan, we must arrest her." Chaud said.
"I know, and I'll do it."
"We'll go with you Lan." Mayl said.
They went to the address on the mail a warehouse in the business district.
"Now we just need to stall them long enough to start the reaction." Haruka said as watch them enter on her monitor and pressing a few keys. "These Preon viruses will keep them busy without hurting them."
Just then a dimensional area appeared over the warehouse and several robotic viruses with only eye appeared.
"Looks like we better cross fuse." Lan said. "It should make carrying all this weight easier."
"SNYCRO CHIP IN DOWNLOAD." They all said.
Mayl when cross fused had her helmet and a pink skirt and her red hair was done in a pony tail like Roll. They were all still fat but at least they could defend themselves. The Preons started to shoot at them.
"Stun beams? No problem." Chaud said as he slashed a virus.
"Mega Buster!" Lan said shooting back.
"We don't have time for this Roll Blast!" Mayl said when she unleashed a heart attack. They fought as hard as they could but it seemed that for every Preon they deleted three more would take its place eventually they were overwhelmed and knocked out.
When Lan woke up he found himself strapped to a chair in a lab. "Good you're awake. I didn't want do this with out you." Haruka said.
"Mom, What are you doing?" Lan said.
"We are going to alter reality with Supra Dimensional Area Generators. By doing this we will make a perfect society." Yuichiro said.
"I can't believe you, changing everyone into your view of beauty whether they agree with you or not." Mayl said.
"Well soon as far as you'll remember you have always been fat. Besides people have been push the thin is beautiful view for decades." Haruka said.
"But why make everyone fat if you are just going to change everything?" Chaud asked.
"We needed to get peoples minds used to being fat or the memory change virus we created wouldn't work. The only ones other than the two of us that will know how the world was will be Lan and Hub."
"We want you both to live a five days in the new world and make up your own minds. You will both have the memories of this world and the new one. It's up to the two of you to decide if you want to embrace the next world and forget what was or keep the memory of this world. We plan on having our memories of this world erased in that time regardless." Yuichiro said.
They hit a few keys on a console and then the earth was covered in a digital field. White hexagon shaped viruses went and attach themselves to people and Navi's. The next thing Lan saw was a bright flash.
