Chapter 14: Bad settings

It was his first homework free weekend. Lan relaxed for a while and stretched and decided to take things easy. He read a manga he had while sitting on a couch. He yawned and his eyes got a little tired…

Meanwhile…

Author also decided to relax for his free weekend. But he suddenly saw a warning screen in his story writing Microsoft Word.

"WARNING! LAN AND MAYL LOVE DANGER ALERT!"

Author shook his head to wake himself up more and ran up to the computer.

"What are ya talkin' about?" Author wondered.

"Timewillchange. Themomentofsorrowisnear." (Time will change. The moment of sorrow is near)

"What are ya talkin' about?" Author questioned again.

"You asked that already."

"No no no! Just give me more details!"

"Lan will no longer be in ACDC. Lan will no longer be in ACDC."

"What? Oh… crap…"

Author knew what he was talking about.

Yuichiro came back home, tired.

"Yuichiro! You came back so early!" Hakura exclaimed happily while Lan was still asleep.

"Yes, I was called in for SciLab… we all have to move." Yuichiro said.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm saying we have to move another house… and abandon this one. Lan will of course have to go to another school…"

Hakura seemed a little worried as Lan was still asleep.

"Well, I better get back after a few minutes." Yuichiro added.

"Okay… I have to go to the groceries though." Hakura said.

"Really? Well, let's go now then." Yuichiro said and Hakura nodded.

When Lan's parents both went out, Author was in Lan's home.

"Whew… it's good to be here… it's been a long time since I came here." Author sighed and saw Lan sleeping. But he looked somewhat different.

Man, he's still asleep? Better wake him up.

Author went to Lan and called, "Wakie wakie, Lan."

It was loud enough for anyone in the room to hear, but Lan wasn't awake at all.

"WAKE UP!"

Lan was still asleep.

Well, on second thought, I could just go there now... to wherever Lan's moving.

Author quickly teleported and was in Lan's new future hometown.

"Woo! Pretty cool! I could live here someday!" Author commented as he saw the amount of technology in the town. Author walked a bit and saw a young girl with a flower on her hair. She looked shy.

"Um… excuse me… uh… I want to ask some questions…"

However, the girl muttered, "Colonel…" very quietly.

"Wha… what? Colonel?"

Just then, the author remembered.

Colonel EXE? That's it! She must be… I could just change this whole thing at once by letting them see each other face to face! Author thought and ran to a nearby metro station. He went several locations to find one and only Colonel's operator, Barrel.

It took several hours, however. Author had lots of trouble finding Barrel. Lan could find him twice as fast.

But there he was, alone on a sidewalk.

"Um… excuse me, uh… Mr. Barrel?" Author called.

"Who are you?" Barrel asked Author.

"Um… you can say someone helping someone else… uh, listen. There seems to be message from the leader of WWW… and they said they uh… captured someone named Iris… and uh… well, yeah."

"What? No! I have to save her!" Barrel yelled.

"Barrel!"

"Wait… there's more… they said they will kill her if you try to destroy WWW… so yeah."

"Wily, you…!"

Wait a second… aw crap! Why did I say that for?

"Wait… um… that was a lie! Heh heh! Fooled-"

However, Barrel was already in a hurry and took a taxi to get there.

"What? No! Wait! Come back here, please!" Author shouted and followed the taxi like mad.

The taxi driver drove to a location where Barrel will most likely see Wily. The author ran, though the taxi driver didn't see him.

"NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!" Author bellowed as he ran like the wind.

"Thanks!" Barrel thanked and paid the driver, and got out. Barrel ran and saw Wily, standing alone.

"Oh no! I STARTED THE WHOLE NEW WWW!" Author screamed in horror, but no one heard him.

They shook hands to make a new WWW.

Why did I have to say about WWW? Aw crap I screwed everything up! Oh who am I kidding, even if that reverse psychology would work I didn't even tell where she was anyway! I'm SUCH AN IDIOT!

"Dark Zero? Uh… should I come back?" Author asked.

"DarkZ?"

He checked inside his pocket and found out he left his PET at home.

"Alright, that's it. I quit. Lan and Mayl relationship is screwed." Author blamed himself and went to an unknown place. He then teleported to Lan's house after, who was now awakened.

"Lan! Lan!" Author called loudly.

Wait, why does he look like his younger version? Author wondered as he looked at Lan closely.

"Wait a sec… the computer traveled me back in time? No wonder Lan looked a little different! And all that trouble for nothing! Wait… so why did the computer warn me about this now?" Author whispered to himself.

Author tried teleporting back home to at least understand what happened.

"Hey, computer! Why did you bring me back in time?" Author wondered as the computer typed by itself, "My time schedule was overrun by a virus. Why didn't you delete it?" The computer asked.

"WHAT? Oh yeah, I forgot. Yeah, sorry. So you just transported back to past I see. So it was all by accident." Author said.

"Yes, and YOU were the evil one to create WWW again."

"Oh shut it. Well, can you at least tell DarkZ to delete the virus for me?"

"No problem."

"I get it. So since your time system was overrun by a virus for me to write the story was STILL in the past setting due virus, you told me to go back and make this whole thing…"

"Correct."

"Okay. It makes sense now." Well, and Lan stopped the whole new WWW, and Iris is gone, so, I guess things are back to normal now." Author said.

"Correct.

"Good. Well, I guess I could visit Lan a little bit."

Since it's now in the present setting, the story is back! The past is gooooooooooone! The virus making the story go to the past is GONE!

Lan was doing his homework, when all of a sudden, he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey."

"Author?" Lan called

"Yeah. Forget about the farewell! I'm stiiiiiil helping ya!" Author exclaimed.

"Yes! Wait… no!" Lan shouted.

"Oh yes… you'll be tortured for this love thing to the maximum! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Author laughed manianically.

"NOOOOOOO!"

"Yes, Lan. Our game of love has juuuust begun."

Lan sighed.

"Look, even if I wanted to go and sing with the karaoke, my mom's not here!" Lan explained the situation.

"Heh!" Author said.

He snapped his fingers and he dressed up like Freddie Mercury in the early 70s. He had long hair and weird clothes.

"What the heck?" Lan questioned.

"Open up your mind and let me step inside… rest your weary head and let your heart decide… it's so easy… when you know the rules… it's so easy… all you have to do is fall in love! Play the game! Everybody play the gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame of loooooove!" Author sang.

"Oh brother…" Lan sighed and covered his eyes.

Author was back in his old clothes.

"Listen, karaoke is the best thing to do with a couple." Author pointed out.

Lan sighed.

"Well, on second thought, I could go if I have time…" Lan said.

"Great. I gotta go now. Good luck man!" Author shouted and waved good bye.

This must be a little longer chapter! Heh heh. Story's inspired when I accidentally screwed up my computer, and now I fixed it. Also the song I sang is NOT what I own. It was sang by Queen, the band that sang We Are The Champions.

A/N: To the people in the future, when Battle Network 6 is released for English; I submitted this chapter when only Japanese version came out, so don't flame me if I was wrong about why Colonel decided to make WWW. If I was right, then it's a coincidence.

A/N 2: PLEASE don't plagiarize any part of my story even if you like it. I have someone that is copying my other story in theirs, so I'd appreciate it if you write a story with your OWN imagination and originality. If I can't do anything about it, I'll obviously flame or report you.
