Here's the new chapter. I got an idea from a reviewer for names for the Axls. Axl-R for the reploid Axl and Axl-N for the netnavi Axl. I'll use them for now, but if anyone thinks they have something better, then let me know.
Breakthrough
"Oh, Will, didn't you say that you had a breakthrough before you finally came to help me," asked Max as they were making their way to the city.
"Thanks for reminding me," Will answered. "It's something that might be handy for our new friends. That is if they don't want anyone knowing that they're navis."
At this, everyone's interest piqued. "What is it," Iceman asked.
"Let me see your wrist, Iceman," was all Will said in answer. Iceman had a puzzled look on his face, but held his wrist out. Will strapped on a wristwatch.
"What's this 'sposed to do," Iceman asked.
"Activate," Will said.
"Activate?" When Iceman said that, he was surrounded by a bright light, bright enough that everyone had to shield their eyes to keep from going blind. When the light dimmed, instead of Iceman, there was a boy wearing a jacket and a pair of shorts. He had snow white hair and ice blue eyes. "What the!!!!"
"Iceman is that you," Tory asked.
"It's me, but….it can't be me. Is this really me?"
"Yes it is. This is my newest breakthrough. I call it the……ok so maybe I don't have a name for it now, but as you can see, it gives navis a human appearance. This way, any navi can go into a city without attracting attention, but that doesn't really matter here. There are navis and EM beings and humans living together in this zone."
"Oh wow. That's so cool," Megaman said. "Do you have anymore of those for the rest of us?"
"Actually, I do. I didn't want to lose the prototype so I made some spares. I've got about fifteen to eighteen of these things. And just for the heck of it, I made four or five necklaces. I made those on a hunch that they would come in handy. So anyone else want one?"
"Definitely," was the unanimous answer from the reploids, navis, and EM beings.
After about ten minutes, everyone who wasn't human had a wristwatch or necklace.
"Now all that needs to be done is to activate them. But please do it one at a time so we can see who's who in human appearance. So who's first?"
"Wait before we start, we still need to think of a way to tell the Axls apart," Megaman pointed out.
"Actually, I have an idea for that," said Palette. "Our Axl, the reploid, can be called Axl-R and your Axl, the netnavi, can be called Axl-N. That good for now?"
"I don't have a problem with it," Axl-R said.
"Me neither," said Axl-N.
"Alright now that that's settled, who's first," Will asked once again.
"I'll go," said Megaman. "Well here goes. Activate." After the light went away, standing in Megaman's place was a boy who looked very much like Lan, but had brown chestnut colored hair instead of black. He was wearing a hat with his navi symbol on the front, a blue shirt, and a pair of cargo shorts. "So this is what I would like if I was still Hub in the world."
"He looks so much like you Lan," Maylu said. "But then again, it shouldn't be that big a surprise since he is your twin."
"Oh, oh me next, me next," Gutsman said while jumping up and down and waving his hands. "Activate." Once the light around Gutsman was gone, a boy wearing a red shirt, yellow pants, and silver backpack was in his place. And he was surprisingly skinny. "This feels kinda weird. I don't feel as strong as I normally do."
"Probably because you aren't as big a human as you are netnavi," said Lan.
"My turn," said Axl-N. "Activate." When Axl-N's light went away, a redheaded teen was standing in his place. He had a black shirt, blue jeans, and a shotgun in a case slung over his back. He took the shotgun out of its case and took a look at it. "A 12 gauge slide pump with an auto recoil system. Very nice, but not as handy as my Axl gun." When he said that, the shotgun was surrounded by light and about two seconds later, he was holding a modified version of his Axl gun in his hand, now with a slot on the underside for him to put his arm through. "What the hell?!"
"Interesting," Will said. "It would seem that you kept one of your abilities when you became human. The same may be true for everyone. But we'll test that theory later."
"For now, it's my turn," Roll said. "Activate." Instead of a light automatically surrounding her, her necklace glowed pink for about a second and then she was surrounded by a pink aura of light. When it dissipated, a girl, with magenta hair in a ponytail going past her waist, stood in her place wearing a pink blouse with her symbol on the front and wearing a knee length skirt that was plain white. "So how do I look?"
"Like a schoolgirl," Maylu told her navi.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"I suppose I'll go next," said Glide. "Activate." Once the light went away, standing in Glide's place was a boy with jet black hair slicked back. He was wearing a collared shirt, top button undone and had on a pair of black jeans. "Not exactly what I would have expected, but it feels comfortable."
"Guess I'm next," said Protoman. "Activate." Standing in Protoman's place after the light went away, a boy with long white hair, wearing a red and black T-shirt and a pair of loose fitting shorts, was looking down at himself and then noticed he had a sword strapped to his side. He drew the sword and discovered that it was his Muramasa. "Well it looks like my ability corresponds with the Muramasa."
"Who wants to go next," asked Max.
"I will," said X. "Activate." After the light went away once again, a young man in his early twenties stood in his place, with a long sleeve blue shirt, a pair of cargo jeans, and black hair. "So, this is what I would like as a human."
"Let's go ahead and get this over with," said Zero. "Activate." When the light went away, standing in Zero's place was a blonde haired man, with hair reaching past his waist, wearing a red shirt with his name on the front and the word rules on the back and had a pair of black shorts on. On his back was his Z Saber. "At least I get to keep my Z Saber."
"This time, it's my turn," Axl-R said. "Activate." This time, instead of a similar copy of Axl-N standing in his place when the light went away, a redheaded boy with a cobalt shirt and red cargo shorts. On his hips were his pistols, which he never went anywhere without. "Next person."
"I guess that would be me," Omega-xis answered. "Activate." Once the light went away, in his place stood a kid with long, spiky green hair, a green and blue striped shirt and blue cargo shorts. Unlike everyone else who had gone so far, he had light armor on. It covered his torso and shins, but that's about all. It was light enough to not be noticeable, but strong enough to stop a bullet, as long as it wasn't a .50 mm round.
"I'll go this time," said Gemini. "Activate." Once the light completely dimmed, a boy with orange hair spiked straight up in the air. He was wearing a T with the Yin-Yang symbol on the front and a pair of gold colored shorts.
"I can only imagine what I'll look like," said Lyra. "Activate." Her necklace glowed pink and a pink aura surrounded her. Once it dissipated, a girl with hot pink hair put up in two ponytails, a gray T and Pink shorts stood in her place. "I don't look half bad, do I?"
"Do you really want me to answer that," Omega-xis asked. WHAM! Omega-xis was holding the back of his head and Lyra's fist was still in the ready position for another hit. "Okay, I'm sorry. You look great."
"That's what I thought you said."
"If you two are done, may I try this," Poindexter asked. "Activate." Once the light had gone, a boy with glasses, a hat with the sign for pi on it, a T with some complex equations on the front, and a pair of shorts stood in his place.
"As if you weren't geeky enough to begin with," groaned Ophiuchus. "Oh well I guess I'll go now. Activate." She was surrounded by an aura of green light and once it dissipated, in her place stood a young girl with leaf green hair with a brown T and a green knee length skirt who was taking a look at her new body. "This feels really weird. It feels unnatural, but at the same time natural."
"I'll go this time," said Taurus. "Activate." Once the light surrounding him went away, a boy with spiky blonde hair stood there, wearing a shirt with flames all around it and a pair of flame colored cargo pants stood in his place. "My natural hair color is blonde? You'd think with all the fire attacks I use, it would be red or something like that."
"I'm last one to go," Jen said. "Activate." Jen was surrounded by an aura of purple light and after it dissipated, a girl with purple hair put up in a ponytail stood there in a purple shirt with a cursor symbol on the front of it and wearing purple shorts. "I can't believe these things actually worked."
"Are you saying you doubt my skills," asked Will, clearly offended by the statement.
"No, just that it worked so well. I mean this shouldn't even be possible, but here we all are. And now we just need names for some of you to use in public. This is gonna be hard."
Hope you enjoyed this chapter and the human forms I gave for everyone. This one was hard because I had to figure what everyone might look like as a human. Not the easiest thing in the world to do. However, I regret to inform you that this fanfic will be put on hold for just a little while. Maybe a week at most. But in the meantime, please review.
Slight update on this. I just realized that I forgot to include a transformation for Gemini, but I fixed that now.
