OK, reviewer replies...
Rose Kitsune.EXE: Yes... Now let's hope he doesn't send Mega Man back to the Internet. (laughs evilly) Oh, and Rose, there was this story I found some while back where the Navis get into the Real World - and you reviewed it! How 'bout that, eh?
Jhvh777: I'm giving you a surprise for when you come back. XD Oh, yeah, and about the bus... See, what happened was Mega and Lan were originally in the subway, and I had a "sunroof mirror" to see aboveground. But that didn't work, so I had to put a bus instead.
Star Holder Commander: Mostly all the chapters are pretty short, Commander... I'll have to stop doing that in the future.

Lan's POV
The door slid open silently, a sheet of metal set in its place. Yai loves this place, I thought with an evil grin. Sure, she'd been there for around most of our adventures, but even then ... Yes, and I am aware she's smarter than me.
---------------------------------------------------
Thecrazyfanficcer: Wow, now that's irrelevant.
Mega Man: (rolling eyes) That's because he's weird, insane, crazy. Did I mention insane?
Lan: Am not!
Pikasqueaks: He's also childish...
Lan: Speak for yourself. At least I don't get chased by InuYasha for calling him a cat demon.
Pikasqueaks: You do other stuff, and you still get your own anime. (groans again)
Lan: (grinning sweetly) I know, ain't it great?
Thecrazyfanficcer: Pika, I have a fanfic to write, you know!
Pikasqueaks: Speaking of which, it's time... TO DIVEBOMB YOU!
Lan and Mega Man: Um... OO;
----------------------------------------------------Motioning to Mega Man to follow me, I stealthily crept into the room where my dad works. He followed up from behind me, tentatively, hesitantly. We made our way in; I showed ourselves to Dad, who was waiting for us behind his steel desk, PET in hand and computer at the ready.
"Lan, Mega Man," Dad said excitedly, turning around to nod at us before going back to his computer. His fingers literally flew on his keyboard, a flesh-coloured blur. "I've been doing some tests on a spare NetNavi, Marcus, and I've discovered something that could revolutionise Navi technology forever." He adjusted his glasses slightly before gesturing to us, his cheeks flushed.
Mega and I came forward slowly. We looked at the screen of Dad's laptop. There were two wide black boxes on it. They were marked Human DNA and Navi Data. The boxes showed some DNA and data. Before we could really look, though, Dad pressed a few keys on the keyboard, and a third square appeared below the other two. This one was entitled Mega Man's DNA. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my Navi blush suddenly.
Dad pulled open a drawer of his steel desk. He pulled out his own sky-blue PET, emblazoned with the Hikari family crest before balancing Marcus's PET against his laptop and slamming the drawer shut. Marcus was a nice enough looking Navi, a little on the chubby side, with a smiling face, freckles, and glasses (Navis can have glasses? Since when?).
"See, the thing is," Dad continued, pointing to the box with the human DNA, "This is human DNA, and this is Navi data. But the DNA I took from Mega is different. A scientist, a friend of mine, invented a device that enables people to take the DNA from humans. I took some from Mega - remember? - and put it in a petri dish."
"What happened, Dad?" I asked. It was actually pretty weird to see my normally calm, cool and collected father this excited-he had invented the Navi, after all.
"Well, this is what I got," Dad replied, causing yet another black box to appear onscreen. This one was entitled simply Humanized Navi). The DNA strand looked like the Navi data, but it looked odd. As if the data and DNA had been combined together, but also as if had some sort of other element that the other two lacked.
"It's different." Mega spoke up suddenly, lifting his head up slightly. "Like my DNA has something that neither the human DNA or the Navi data doesn't. And it looks like the other two have been combined."
"Exactly," Dad replied, still a little flustered, but nodding excitedly. "That's exactly it. It's really different. It's a mix of human DNA, Navi data, and something else - something to do with the Internet and Real World transition, and the fact that Mega Man was never completely Navi."
"And how is this supposed to revolutionise Navi technology forever, Dad?" I asked. "It's just DNA."
"Maybe the answer lies in the DNA," Dad answered, nodding wisely. "Maybe with humanized Navi DNA, we can invent some way to combine the worlds of humans and Navis into one."
Mega was about to say something then, but I cut him off, grabbing his arm. "Look!" I cried suddenly, jerking my head to the clear glass window that showed the grounds below. "See who it is?"
Mega was surprised; then, I saw an expression of hate fill his contact-lensed eyes. "Chaud," he muttered under his breath. Poor Dad looked politely quizzical; he didn't know what was going on.
And in one, sudden, sweeping movement that lasted five seconds in my eyes, I took Mega's arm and zoomed out the door.
