Hey guys! ThatOtherFella here with another chapter of Megaman 12 - Reality! This time. I'm trying to introduce a new major character in this chapter.

Chapter 4: The friend.

Drake was on his usual stroll on the weekends. Every Saturday. He would take a tiny walk and would explore the nearby park. He could bring Megaman along the way, But he would have to put a disguise on him. He was walking home when he saw his parents putting decorations on the house. He knew Haloween was coming up. And it would be the perfect time to create a costume for Megaman. So he walked inside the house until his parents asked him to help with the decorations.

"Hey, Drake, We need help with the decorations. They aren't going to hang themselves. Are they. He told him.

"Sorry. I have to make something. I come back later. He answered as he walked inside the house and went downstairs. He saw Megaman making a little fort made with blankets and a table. As he saw this he asked him what it was for. "Hey Megaman. What are you making he greeted the Android."

"Oh! Hey Drake. I'm creating a little fort for me to stay in, It is also a hiding place for me if your parents come down." He said as he crawled inside the little fort and came back.

"Megaman, I think you won't need that. Because I have a much better idea." He said he as he walked toward the leftover laundry and picked up some clothes. He was holding blue shorts and a white and blue shirt with a 4 on it. "You can wear these clothes as a disguise to fool my parents. Got it?"

"I got it."

When Megaman came out of the tent (Where he was changing) He was looking like an avearage 14 year old kid. He also used some rags to cover up some mechanical parts of his body so Drake's parents wouldn't be suspicious of him. "How do I look?"

"You look totally normal." He said with a smile on his face.

"I'll be taking that as a compliment..." He said, Not to excited as he was before. He walked out of the basement and looked at the house. "So Drake, how will you introduce me to your parents?"

"Easy." He said with a grin. He went out in his vast backyard filled with dark greenish trees of sorts. He looked at a certain gate and walked towards it. He opened the gate and sneaked out of the yard and went to the sidewalk. After that, he walked toward the front yard of his house. "I told you it would be easy." He told him. Keeping the grin from earlier.

Drake's dad was finished with the decorations on the ceiling of the house. He climbed all the way down using a ladder he placed. When he saw the 2 boys he politely greeted them. "Hi Drake! Who's you friend?" He said pointing at the blue-eyed kid.

"Oh! This is... Zack!" He said, thinking the name suited him. The other kid waved his hand a bit awkwardly as in a greeting. He father waved his hand at the child too.

"So are you new? Haven't seen you around here." He questioned the shy kid.

He got a bit nervous about the question and decided to make up a fib. "I-I have t-to pee..." He said as he ran along the sidewalk.

"Zack! Wait!" The teenager shouted as he ran towards the scared one. At this point, Drake's dad was confused. Thinking he was shy. After running along the sidewalk he found him. "Megaman! What are you doing?" He said in a loud voice.

He found him hiding behind a bush. As soon as Drake spotted him. He crawled out of the bush and told him "Drake, The reason I left was because I think your parents might find out about me. And I don't want them. It's very hard to keep secrets under all this pressure now. I just want to go home. Can you make me a promise?" He said with a smile on his face. Knowing that they were good friends. Before Drake could answer, Another teen came out onto the sidewalk and looked at the two.

"Drake? Is that you?" A figure said not to far away. He was a brown teen. He was wearing a navy blue jacket and jeans. He was a bit confusing seeing Drake with a another person. "Who are you talking too?"

"Brock? What are you doing here?" He said. He realize he was not looking at him, but the other kid. He realized if he was there, that meant he could solve the sudden appearance Megaman in his world. "Well, It's hard to explain. He knew that he would have to prove to him that Megaman was real in the first place. So he went to his house and asked his parents if Brock could come. They said yes and they went down in the basement.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Brock questioned the two. They were a bit nervous at first, but Drake was the first one to talk.

"Well, You see. It was a normal night and I was playing Megaman 9 and beat Magma Man. After I defeated him. I saw a notification on my Xbox. It said Megaman 12 was available to play. So once I started the game. It started to glitch. There were bits of steel coming out of the TV. And suddenly. Megaman came out!" After this, brock started to chuckle a bit. "Hey! This is not a joke!" He said seriously.

"You actually think that I would believe that?" He said, giggling a lot more.

"He's telling the truth, just so you know." Megaman said "I guess I have to prove it to you." He quickly changed into his armor, still a tee bit damaged due to the incident. Looking at this. Brock was immediately surprised by what he saw. He asked Drake if he was hallucinating, but Drake nodded his head. He was going to touch him. But he got interrupted by Jane.

"Megaman! I need help with my costume!" The young girl said as she walked down the stairs. He was holding a white cloth. "Can you cut 2 tiny holes out for my eyes?"

"Sure!" He said. He changed his armor to another color. A gray and white palatte. Some odd looking scissors came out of his hand. He grabbed it and cut two tiny holes. As Brock saw this. He was even more surprised by what happened. He pinched himself it see if it was a dream. He even touched him. He felt his smooth, metallic, blue armor. This, if the "hallucination" could interact with the real world. Then it wasn't a "hallucination" at all.

"HOW THE HELL IS THIS REAL!?!?!??!?!????" (Yes, I know this is rated K Plus) He shouted across the room. What he had witnessed was unreal to him. He couldn't believe what was happening.

"I don't know! I thought you would have an idea! That's why I came to you!" Drake told the friend of his. "You are the smartest kid in school for all I know!"

"Well, do you have any evidence?" He said as he waited for an answer.

"When I came out of the TV. I saw some remains of a weird machine." The Blue Bomber said as showed a picture of the broken machine on a hologram connected to his Mega Buster. "It looks like I could fit in it."

"Do you have any past memory of it?" The brown kid said, writing it in a notepad.

"Not really. I must of been wiped out when it happened." He said as the teenager wrote more things down.

"Guys, I've think I've got it. I think Megaman has been transported to our world because of a world-traveling machine." He said showing the multiple notes. Then, Drake heard someone open the door. Megaman changed to his old clothes quickly. It was Drake's dad. He was checking on them.

"Hey kiddos! What are you guys doing in there." He said while opening the door.

"Oh Dad! W-w-w-We were playing a game! Only a game!" He muttered out loudly.

"Are you sure buddy? Looks like you're hiding something from me." He asked him suspiciously.

Well, If something like that happened. Of course I would tell you! You are my Dad of course!" He lied to him once again.

"Okay. But just so you know. You can tell us anything. Got that?" He said, trying to work something out with Drake.

"I got it Dad." He lied to the parent again. His dad closed the door. And they started their conversation from were they left off. "That would explain a lot, Brock. That's a good hypothesis!" He thanked his friend.

"What's a hypothesis?" Jane said as she crawled out of the fort Megaman made.

"A hypothesis is a guess or estimate using limited evidence. A example is how I got in the real world. Brock used evidence to created a hypothesis." He stated.

"Sure." The girl said as she crawled back into the tent.

"So... Do you have anything else to tell me?" The teenager asked one more time.

"Drake said something about my nemesis, Dr. Wily appearing in the real world." The robot told him.

"That seems bad. Like REALLY bad!" He kept writing that on his notes "He might even be attacked by some of those Robot Kings!"

"They're actually called Robot Masters. But that's not the point. The point is that we're are probably being chased by Wily! W. I. L. Y!" He spelled out his name.

"E iSo how are we going to stop him?" The fanatic questioned the robot. Drake looked at the sky. It was pitch black. Realizing they would have to talk about this tomorrow. "Guys. It's my bedtime. We have to talk about this tomorrow." He said as he started to go upstairs.

"Bye Brock." He waved at his friend. The three both left the room but Megaman stayed down and hid.

Later...

It was 10:30 and Drake just fell asleep. Megaman and Jane were sleeping too. Well, Megaman wasn't exactly sleeping. But you know what I'm saying. But Drake's parents were having a conversation.

"Well, Drake has been acting oddly now, So what's up with him." The mother asked the man.

"Yes, He has been acting weird lately. Today. He freaked out about something and told me it was nothing." The father replied.

"Well I don't know what's wrong with Drake. He couldn't be taking drugs because we never allowed him to have them. So it must be something." She questioned the adult.

"Well I don't know what it is. But we'll have to talk to him about it." He said with a serious face. "We have to find out what's going on."

Wow. This came REALLY fast. I'm thinking about working on this story a lot more since I have some extra time at school. Big for now. See you!
