A/N: Thank you for your wonderful reviews! And now: On with the story!

Lan put the computer down gently, and fell backwards, letting his head hit the cold floor. 'No....He can't be....' He thought desperately, but deep down, he knew that there was no denying what had been written: Mega was his brother. Gasping for breath, he eventually calmed down enough to actually move, sat up, and tried to think of what to do. 'If I tell them, who knows what will happen. Roll and Protoman might except this, along with Maylu and Chaud.....but Mega....' Heclosedhiseyes, sighing. "There'snowayMegawould...or even believe this...." He finished his thoughts out loud, and stood up, the laptop in his arms. "Still, I have no choice but to tell everyone...because if I were to keep this a secret...and they found out later...." He cringed at the thought. He re opened his eyes and made his way for the stairs that lead to the first floor, but something stopped him....
Sitting on the first step, Mega had heard the entire thing (A/N:this person seriously has problems with not listening in on people, doesn't he?). 'Oh shoot....' Lan thought , slightly in panic. He kneeled down and looked up at him. 'He's out cold.....no kidding either. I would've passed out if I had heard that.' Shaking his head, he threw Mega's arm over his shoulder, and made his way upstairs. (A/N: Ok, in this chapter, I'll continue to call him Mega, but in your review(s), tell me if you'd rather me call him Hub, or stick with Mega. Your choice.)

After making it into the living roon, Lan dropped Mega on the sofa, then fell back into a chair next to it, exhausted. "....Never...doing that....again," He said in a voice that sounded like a kid who had just done 100 laps in track. "Dang, you'd think for someone who's my height, he would be lighter....or maybe I'm just out of shape." He said, leaning back. ".....It's probably the second idea." Mega responded, causing Lan to nearly fall out of his chair. "What?! How?!...How long were awake?!" Smirking, Mega opened his eyes and looked at him. "I was never asleep." "Then you.....you just had me carry you upstairs even though you could've walked!? You lazy little-!" "Hey now," Mega started, cutting him off before he said anything else. (A/N: That would force me to make the stoy rate T.) "at that point...after hearing that mesage from Dad, I just couldn't move..." Mega said, sitting up. Lan nodded, but then stopped, staring at him. "You called him Dad?" Lan asked, surprised. It was now Mega's turn to nod. "I gained them back....my memories." He said, and not a word more. He didn't have to, either.
".....How are we going to show this to everyone?" Lan asked. Mega shrugged. "You can decide. Either way, Protoman will lose it." Lan cringed, then opened the laptop, looking at the other files. Mega turned his head to one side. "What are you doing?"
"My-....Our Dad's computer shouldn't be here. Unless.....Huh?!" Lan, eyes wide, looked at the screen closely. "This file is dated to last week!" He opened the file and looked at it. "This world is amazing," Lan read, looking at the file. "I've been here for 2 years, and there's still so much to learn. However, I am currently trying to find a way back home, to my son and wife. I still recall the day I ended up here. Amazingly, the day I appeared here, while Lan was headiing to the base, an old friend of ours found us. He was with my Haruka, my wife, at home. I had gone out to give our resistance base some new technology, when this light absorbed me and...." Lan stopped reading. "And...?" Mega asked.
Lan shook his head. "That's it. It ends there....but it's enough....it means Dad is...or was alive in this world, and until recently, I'm guessing he lived here. It's the only reason this would be here."Mega frowned. "What happened to him then...?" "I don't know. But, I will find out.....after the others come back....we're going." Mega nodded.
The front door opened. "....speak of the devil." Lan sighed. "Well, if they're the devils, it's time to face hell." He got up and walked into the room that his friends entered, only to find the millionth shock of the day with them. ".....Dad?!"

"....If you still live here, then why did they tell us it was empty?" Mega asked. Dr. Hikari (A/N: Again, if you wish me to call him something else, just tell me.) looked at him. "They don't like me, and they want me gone." He said. Everyone sweat droped anime style. 'He's so calm about it...' They thought. Lan sighed. "Now that that's over with...it's time to explain what was found in Dad's laptop. Right, Mega?" "Right."
Everyone stared at him, until Dr. Hikari spoke up. "You don't mean-!" "Yes we do, Dad." Mega said, causing Protoman, Roll, Chaud, and Maylu to give him strange looks. Mega smirked. "Oh c'mon Cherry Head, Skunk, don't give me those looks." Mega said, causing Lan to snicker. (A/N: You know someone had to use the name 'Cherry Head' in refference to Maylu some time. And Skunk in refference to Chaud too. It fits!) Both of them flinched, and Maylu eyed Mega for a moment, then pointed at him accusingly. "You're Hub! Now the short temper and bickering with Chaud makes sense!" "Hey!!" Mega cut in. Chaud, eyes wide, looked at Lan. "The whole time....you were right...." Mega nodded. "Yep, he was." "Then that means you're part human too?" Protoman asked.
"We don't have to tell him then." Roll answered for him. Mega stared. "You two already know?!" "Yes.....Dr. Hikari told us on the way back." Maylu said, and Lan sighed in relief. "Then it's already dealed with....thank you sweet merciful...who ever's up there!" Lan said, bowing. Mega hit him on the head. "Idiot." Dr. Hikari chuckled. "Now now, play nice." Lan looked at him. "You sound like Mom." Dr. Hikari smiled. "That's probably a good thing. Maybe-" He was cut off as a figure appeared into the house, grabbed him, and disappeared, leaving a small disc behind. "Dad!!" Mega yelled, running over to where he was. The group stared in shock, while Lan took the disc and put it into the laptop.
"Hello....." An eery voice said as a figure with red eyes appeared on the screen. "If you are lookig at this, I have taken Dr. Hikari....If you ever want to see him again, you will have to join me.....if not....he'll die."

I originally planned to have Dr. Hikari stay with them, but this seemed better. Please tell me if you think differently.
And please....Review! ^^
