Game Narrator:
The year is 200X. The world's machines are joined in a worldwide network. But
there is a dark side to this convenience as well: Computer viruses and an
increase in NetCrime.  The Virus Lab at the SciLab...conducts research into
ways of dealing with these viruses.  One day... The students of ACDC School,
in ACDC Town in DenCity, took a field trip to the SciLab's Virus Lab.

(Lan and his classmates are in the Virus Lab)

Lan:
So this is the new Virus Lab, huh...? This is even cooler than I heard it was!

MegaMan:
Lan! We're here on a school field trip! Stay focused and quit daydreaming, okay?

Lan:
I know, MegaMan...

MegaMan:
Hey! Lan! Didn't you hear what I said? Look! Everyone else is paying attention!

(Lan going around talking to everybody)

Ms. Mari:
SciLab's virus research devices are the world's best! This is fascinating! Be
sure to pay attention, now!

Dex:
Lan, did you hear? The kids in the other class went on a field trip to an
umbrella factory. I wish we could go to a factory, too! There's no way that
we'd get away with sneaking off to NetBattle here...

Mayl:
Lan, you should pay attention to this! The things we learn may be on a test
later on! Look how seriously Yai is listening!

Yai:
Mayl was saying that we may have to write a report about this! I've got to pay
attention. I may be smart, but I'm not very good at writing reports.

Kid 1:
Your dad works here, right? That's so cool...!

Kid 2:
I've never fought a virus outside of school... I need to study all of this a
lot!

Kid 3:
I just know that I'll forget all this unless I take notes! Let me see... "You
can talk to your Navi by pressing the PET's L Button..."

Kid 4:
Lan, do you know about the Regular Chip system? It's a bit tough to explain,
but it's a good thing to know about! The Regular System lets you choose one
chip as a "Regular Chip". That chip will then always appear in the Custom
Screen when a battle starts! To set a Regular Chip, open the Folder Edit
Screen and choose a chip. Press the Select Button, and you're set! However,
your PET has a fixed capacity, and chips larger than that can't be set as a
Regular Chip. To check your capacity, look at the number to the right of your
folder name in the Folder Edit Screen. That's the largest size chip that fits.
You can increase the capacity by using Regular Up items. Aren't you glad I
told you all that?

Kid 5:
These machines are pretty cool, but so are our PETs! They're so small, but we
cans use them as a phone, for e-mail, as a textbook... But I think that the
coolest thing about them are the Navis that can run programs for us! Take
mail, for example.  We just open the menu, select "E-mail", and our Navi opens
the mail screen for us! The menu is opened by pressing the Start Button,
right?

(Lan done talking to all of his classmates)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

(Check your mail)

MailNews Email:
"NetCrime Alert" - The number of Net Crimes has increased in recent years.
Please be very careful of viruses and evil Navis!

(Ms. Mari gets everyone's attention)

Ms. Mari:
Ok, everyone gather around! The kind people in this lab are now going to give
us a lesson in virus busting!

Lab Tech:
Hello, boys and girls! Today we're going to learn the basics of virus busting.
Some of you may already be familiar with this... But remember! The basics are
vital!  OK, everyone please jack in by pressing your R Button!

MegaMan: Lan! Send me into the Cyberworld with the R Button!

(Lan jacks MegaMan in)

Navi:
Ok, let's get this virus busting lesson started, shall we? This is only
practice, but please do your best!

Lab Tech: I will now begin the lecture on virus busting. I'm sure you've
learned this before, but a quick review... First, I will explain the basic
technique of deleting viruses. In order to fight a virus, you must send chip
data to a Navi. The chips you will send are chosen in this Custom Window.

(Arrow points to Custom Window)

Lab Tech:
You choose the chips you will send here. The chips in the folder you are using
are shown here. The selected chip's data is shown here. This is the Atk. Str.

(Arrow points to Atk. Str.)

Lab Tech:
This is HP, the virus' hit points.

(Arrow points to HP)

Lab Tech:
Normally you can only use one chip per turn, but you can send more of the same
type.

(Arrow points to two Cannons)

Lab Tech:
If you do so, you can use lots of chips, to a big advantage. Very well, let's
try choosing the chip data we will send. You select it with the A Button. The
R Button shows info. You can try to run with the L Button, but you may fail.
OK, let's try choosing the chip data.

(Lan selects one of the Cannon chips)

Lab Tech:
I see you chose the Cannon! Good choice. You get one more.

(Lan selects the remaining Cannon chip)

Lab Tech:
OK, let's send this data to the Navi! Everyone, choose OK!

(Lan selects the "OK" button to begin the fight)

Lab Tech:
We've sent the data! Now we will fight the virus! OK, now I will explain
things as you are fighting. You can move your Navi around the battle field.
Fire the MegaBuster with the B Button. It's weak, but fast.

(Arrow points to where MegaMan's HP is)

Lab Tech:
Your HP is shown at left. Don't let this reach zero! The data that you sent is
shown above your Navi's head. Use it with the A Button, but you can only use
it once! And that's the basic procedure! Pretty simple, eh? And now, a
question for you all. What do you do when you've used up all of your chips?

Dex: I know! I know!

(Arrow points to the Custom Gauge)

Lab Tech:
That's right! This is the Custom Gauge. It slowly fills up. When it's full,
press the L or R Button to send more chip data. OK, let's try some real virus
busting! Be careful now!

(MegaMan deletes the virus)

Navi:
Excellent! OK, let's move on to the next lesson, then!

Lab Tech:
OK, now I'll explain chips that have support effects! There are some chips
which are not used as weapons. For example, the chip AreaGrab gives you more
room to move. This is a good strategy to use with WideSwrd!

Mayl:
I thought we could only choose chips of the same type?

Lab Tech:
Ah! You've picked up on an excellent point! Look here... See these letters?
This is called the chip code. You can choose chips with the same code - even
different ones. If you notice, AreaGrab and WideSwrd are both "L". That means
that you can choose these two simultaneously. By the way, chips marked with a
"*" are like wild cards... You can use them with any other code! Very
convenient! Let's try using the AreaGrab and WideSwrd with the same code!

(Lan selects the AreaGrab chip)

Lab Tech:
Ok! Next, choose WideSwrd!

(Lan selects the WideSwrd chip)

Lab Tech:
OK, let's send this data to the Navi. Choose "OK"!

(Lan selects the "OK" button to begin the fight)

Lab Tech:
Did you send the data to the Navi? Let's try it out! OK, our strategy is
something like this... First, we will use AreaGrab by pressing the A Button.
Part of the virus's area will become ours to use. That will allow us to walk
up to it, and attack!! But watch out for the virus's attack when we get close!
OK! Good luck!!

(MegaMan deletes the virus)

Navi:
Good luck! This is your last lesson!

Lab Tech:
Next is our last lesson, concerning "Folder Opening"! This technique lets you
increase the chips you get! With more chips to choose from, you can make
combinations! OK, do you see the "ADD" Button on the bottom right?

(Arrow points to ADD button)

Lab Tech:
Many times you will be missing a chip that you want. If you choose a chip that
you don't need and press "ADD", the selected chips will be thrown away, but on
the next turn you will get as many more chips as you lost to choose from! This
makes it easier for you to make combos to use! Let's try! We don't need those
three "Recov10" chips... After you choose all 3 "Recovery 10"s, use the
"ADD" Button!

(Lan selects the Recov10 Chips)

Lab Tech:
OK! Now just manage without chips for one turn!

Lan:
MegaMan! I'll send new chips! It'll take one turn.

(The Custom gauge will fill up and the chip selection screen will come up)

Lab Tech:
OK! Now let's go bak to the Custom Screen, and... Ta-daaaa! Since you threw
away 3 chips, the number of chips you can choose from also increases by 3! OK!
Time to fight!

(MegaMan deletes the virus)

Navi:
OK, that's enough for today! You never know when a virus will strike! If it
happens to you, just remember these lessons! OK! You can jack out now!

(Back in Virus Lab with Lan and his classmates)

Ms. Mari:
Okay, class! We certainly learned a lot today! Let's thank the SciLab people
for having us in today.

All:
Thank yoooou.

Lab Tech:
Don't forget! Basics are fundamental, so study hard! It was a pleasure having
you visit!

Ms. Mari:
Time to go back to school now, class...

(Yai turns to Lan, Dex, and Mayl)

Yai:
Hey! Are you all free tonight?

Lan:
Sure! What's up, Yai?

Yai:
Let's chat!

Lan:
Chat? Sure, okay! Dex, Mayl... How about it?

Dex:
I'm cool.

Mayl:
I'm good to go, too!

Yai:
Ok! We're set! Let's do it at my homepage tonight. Let's talk more after school.

Ms. Mari:
You over there! Be quiet! Until you get home, you're still on a school trip!
Got it!

Lan:
Yes, ma'am...

Ms. Mari:
Okay, let's go!

(Everyone is back in the ACDC school classroom)

Ms. Mari:
Write a report about the Virus Lab and save it on a disk. That's your homework
assignment for class tomorrow. Don't forget! I'm talking to you, Dex and Lan!
Got it?

Lan:
Yikes!

Dex:
Urk!

All:
Ha ha ha!

Ms. Mari:
That goes for the rest of the class, too! If you forget... you'll be cleaning
toilets next week!

All:
Yes, ma'am...

Ms. Mari:
That's it for today. See you tomorrow!

(Lan talk to friends)
Yai:
Let's meet in the park to decide when we'll have the chat.

Dex:
Hey, Lan! Did Yai tell you about our chat tonight?

Mayl:
I can't wait for our chat tonight!

(Lan leaves school and goes home)

Mom:
Welcome home! How was the new SciLab? Your father told me that they've done it
up quite nicely.

(Lan goes to his room and tries to jack in)

MegaMan:
Let's go to the park first. We can jack in later!

(Lan leaves his house and goes to the Park)

(Lan get to ACDC park)

MegaMan:
Everyone's here, Lan!

Lan:
Hey, Yai, what time do you want to chat?

Yai:
Hmm. What time should we start?

Mayl:
My schedule's pretty much open.

Dex:
Me too!

(Producer from DNN come up to Lan, Mayl, Yai, and Dex)

Producer:
Hi there! Are you elementary school students?

Lan:
Uh...yes, we are.

Producer:
Sorry if I'm intruding on something! I'm a producer for DNN, the DenCity News
Network!

Yai:
DNN? The TV station? Are you going to make me a TV star or something? I knew
it... I knew this day would come! But even still, I need a little time to
prepare myself.

Producer:
Uh...Right. Anyway, if I might continue... We're sponsoring a competition to
find the top NetBattler. It's called the "N1 Grand Prix." The preliminaries
are being held in ACDC Square today. Why don't you all give it a shot?

Lan:
Us..?

Mayl:
In the...?

Dex:
Preliminaries...?

Yai:
You mean I haven't been scouted!?

Producer:
The finals will be broadcast nationwide. The preliminaries could be your first
step to stardom! Look at the time! Registration will start soon, so... If
you're interested, just jack in and go to ACDC Square! You'd better hurry!
Ciao!

(The producer walks off)

Mayl:
What should we do?

Lan:
Hmmm... I wonder...

Dex:
There's no question I'm signing up! Right, GutsMan?

GutsMan:
Let's do it! You've got Guts!

Lan:
I think I'll do it! What do you say, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
Sounds great! Let's go!

Roll:
Mayl. I'd like to try, too!

Mayl:
Well, if you put it like that, I say let's give it a try!

Glyde:
What do you say, Miss Yai?

Yai:
Let's blast through this match! My big debut awaits!

Glyde:
Understood. I will give it my all.

Dex:
Now that it's decided, I'm going home to jack in! See you guys in ACDC Square!

(Dex leaves)

Mayl:
See ya!

(Mayl leaves)

Yai:
I can't lose!

(Yai leaves)

MegaMan:
Let's really give it our all, Lan!

Lan:
But of course! Let's go, MegaMan!

(Lan goes home)

(Lan goes into his room)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

Dex's Email:
"I'm starting!" - The prelims have started! I'm gonna start without ya! Hurry
up and come to ACDC Square!

(Lan jacks in and MegaMan finds GutsMan)

GutsMan:
The preliminaries were just kicking off when I got here. So I started before
you. Everyone else has started, too!

(MegaMan finds Roll)

Roll:
Hi MegaMan! I started the round ahead of you. Glyde has already cleared the
preliminaries! You should probably hurry up, MegaMan!

(MegaMan goes to ACDC Square)

Navi:
Welcome to the 1st round preliminaries for the N1! Your being here means you
want to take part, right? RIGHT! Everyone here is taking part, like it or not!
OK! Let's start the first round! This round is simply a True "O" or False "X"
quiz mission! I'll ask a question. O or X data will be hidden on the Net.
Then, you go out and find the one that you think is right! If you bring the
right data back, you pass the mission! There are 3 missions in all. This is
the first. Good luck! Now the swearing-in ceremony! Answer in a clear voice!
Do you want to be the No. 1 NetBattler?

MegaMan:
YES!

Navi:
Here's Mission # 1. Red means "Stop"! True "O" or False "X"? Go to ACDC 3 to
find the True or False data. O or X! Take care!

(MegaMan gets the the O data)

Game Narrator:
This is O data. Take it?

MegaMan:
Yes
Game Narrator:
MegaMan got the 'O data'!!

(MegaMan goes back to N1 Navi)

Navi:
The answer is... O!! True!! CORRECT! Congratulations. Here's Mission #2. A ton
of lead is heavier than a ton of feathers. True "O" or False "X"? Go to ACDC 2
for the data! Take care!

(MegaMan gets the X data)

Game Narrator:
This is X data. Take it?

MegaMan:
Yes

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got the 'X data'!!

(MegaMan goes back to N1 Navi)

Navi:
The answer is...X!! False!! CORRECT! Congratulations. Finally, Mission #3!
Adding every number from 1 to 10 gives 54. True "O" or False "X"? Go to ACDC
1x for the data! Take care!

(MegaMan gets the X data)

Game Narrator:
This is X data. Take it?

MegaMan:
Yes

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got the 'X data'!!

(MegaMan goes back to N1 Navi)

Navi:
The answer is...X!! False!! CORRECT! Congratulations. Well done! You've
cleared round 1! Congratulations!

(GutsMan, Roll, MegaMan, and Glyde all gather together)

Navi:
Thanks for coming! This concludes the first round of the N1 Grand Prix!

MegaMan:
Way to go, Lan! We aced the first round!

Lan:
Good job, MegaMan! Looks like we all made it through the first round!

GutsMan:
Piece of cake!!

Roll:
We did it, Mayl!

Glyde:
Let's keep it up, Miss Yai!

Yai:
About the chat... Since it's already 6PM... Let's meet at my homepage after
dinner, at 8PM!

Glyde:
Ahem. Please use this to access Miss Yai's homepage.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "YaiCode"!!

Glyde:
We look forward to seeing you.

MegaMan:
Let's go eat dinner, Lan!

Lan:
Yeah, I guess I haven't eaten yet!

Lan:
See you later!

(MegaMan jacks out)

(Lan talk to Mom about dinner)

Mom:
Time for dinner, Lan!

Lan:
Okay!

(Lan finishes eating dinner)

Lan:
That was delicious!

Mom:
My pleasure!

MegaMan:
Lan! Isn't it about time?

Lan:
Yeah. Let's head over to Yai's HP!

(Lan jacks in and MegaMan goes to Yai's homepage)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan used: "YaiCode"!! The security cube has been unlocked!!

(MegaMan goes into Yai's Homepage)

Roll:
Hi MegaMan!

GutsMan:
GutsMan! GutsMan! Ready to chat!

Glyde:
Welcome. I see that everyone's here now. Well, shall we begin?

(Screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
One hour later...

Yai:
It's getting late.

Glyde:
It's getting late, everyone, so let's call it a night.

Roll:
Look at the time! It's time for bed.

Mayl:
By the way, Lan and Dex, did you do your homework?

Lan:
Ack!

MegaMan:
I'm sorry, Lan! I forgot, too...

Lan:
Hey, no problem! This assignment's a piece of cake!

Dex:
Agh!!

GutsMan:
Dex...? Are you okay?

Dex:
My disk! I left it at school!

Lan:
Guess you'll be on toilet-cleaning duty tomorrow, Dex!

MegaMan:
Don't make him fell any worse, Lan!

GutsMan:
Dex! Let's go and get a disk!

Yai:
You mean, go into the school!? At night? Sounds kinda fun! Take me, too!

Glyde:
Please reconsider, Miss Yai! It's too dangerous!

Mayl:
I want to go, too! I always wanted to see the school at night!

Roll:
I'm so excited! What if we see a ghost?!

Mayl:
Don't scare me, Roll! I'm serious!

Lan:
Well, I guess I'm going, too!

MegaMan:
What about your homework, Lan?

Lan:
Aw, don't be such a pessimist! It'll be fine.

Dex:
H-Hey! I didn't say I was going over there!

Lan:
What's wrong, Dex? Don't be a wimp! Or are you... Scared of ghosts?

GutsMan:
Dex isn't afraid of anything! Bravery is his middle name!

Dex:
Uh...That's right! So l-let's m-m-meet in front of the school!

Lan:
Let's go, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
I'm worried about your homework, Lan!

(Everyone jacks out and meets at the school gates)

Lan:
Thanks for waiting! Let's go inside!

Dex:
The front gate is locked! Looks like we can't go in!

Mayl:
Yeah, we'll have to unlock it somehow...

Yai:
The lock on the gate is connected to the Internet.

Lan:
So that means we can jack in to the Net to unlock it!

Yai:
Don't make it sound so easy! I hear the lock's protected by a super scary
guard Navi!

Lan:
Aw, you guys are such wimps! I'll go unlock it.

Mayl:
Are you sure, Lan?

Lan:
If I'm careful, it'll be a breeze! I'd better get started.

(Lan jacks in finds the GateKey)

Lan:
Where's this guard Navi?

MegaMan:
Looks like he's taking a nap.

Lan:
That's great! Just be careful not to wake him up!

MegaMan:
I know. Okay, I'm going to unlock it. Quietly.

Game Narrator:
Click. CLUNK!!

(Guard Navie wakes up)

MegaMan:
Yikes!

Lan:
Oh, man!

Guard:
HEY! What're you doing!?

MegaMan:
!!

Guard:
..Szzzznork. Mumble, mumble. ZZzzzzz...

MegaMan:
He's still asleep...

Lan:
That gave me a heart attack!

MegaMan:
Okay, Lan. Let's go back to the others.

Lan:
Yeah, let's split before he wakes up!

(Lan get an e-mail)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

Mayl's Email:
"It's opened!" - We unlocked the school gate! But it's strange... The school
doors are unlocked. Could they have just forgotten? Come as soon as you can!
We're waiting in the school!

(Lan goes to school and heads to the classroom)

Lan:
Hurry up, Dex!

Dex:
Hold on! Now, where did I put it? ...Gasp! I can't find my disk!

Lan:
Look closer!

Dex:
No. Nope. Where IS it?

Yai:
Knowing you, you probably dropped it somewhere!

Mayl:
Well, we'll help you look. Any idea where it might be?

Lan:
Try to remember what you did since you got the disk today!

Dex:
Um, let's see... I was hanging out by Mayl or Yai's desk.

Lan:
Which one?

Yai:
Weren't you playing with the animal cages today?

(Dex searches for disk)

Mayl:
Weren't you doodling on the blackboard, too?

(Dex keeps searching)

Lan:
Didn't you see the books on the locker?

(Again Dex searches)

Dex:
Arrrgh! You're confusing me even more!

Mayl:
Anyway, let's go to the places you can remember going to.

Yai:
Guess we have to. You'd better be appreciative, Dex!

Dex:
Sorry guys. Thanks in advance!

(Lan finds disk)

Game Narrator: Lan got "Dex's disk"!!

Lan:
Dex! I found the disk! Look!

Dex:
Really? Thanks, Lan! You saved my life!

Yai:
You should be more careful, Dex.

Dex:
Sorry! Thanks!

Mayl:
Glad we found the disk! Now we'd better get home. It's getting late.

Lan:
Guess so!

Yai:
Huh? Hey, did you just hear something?

Mayl:
...Uh... Not really.

Yai:
Hmmm. Guess I imagined it.

Dex:
L-L-Let's g-go!

(Everyone goes to the entrance of the school)

Game Narrator:
Clack! Clatter!

Dex:
Yaaah!

Yai:
So I wasn't just hearing things!

Dex:
Is it a g-g-ghost?

Yai:
Don't be stupid! Must be a teacher.

Mayl:
HAS to be.

Game Narrator:
Clack! Rattle, rattle!

MegaMan:
But something feels strange. What if it's a burglar?

Lan:
It's coming from the Teacher's Lounge! Let's go!

(They all go to Teacher's Lounge)

Game Narrator:
Rattle...Rattle...rattle...

Dex:
The sound seems to be coming from here.

Lan:
It's unlocked. Looks like someone's inside. I'll go in!

Mayl:
That's dangerous, Lan!

Lan:
I'll just check it out. You guys wait here.

Yai:
Be careful!

Lan:
Okay!

(Lan goes in and everyone follows)

???:
Hee hee hee! I got the first TetraCode! If I bring this back, I can make him
proud of me!

Dex:
I hear him talking! If it's a robber, I'm going to get him!

Mayl:
I'm going, too!

Yai:
Me, too!

Lan:
Dex! And Mayl and Yai? Aren't you supposed to be waiting outside? This is
dangerous! Go back!

Yai:
Leave this part to us!

Mayl:
You always stick your neck out for us!

Dex:
Sometimes you've got to give us a turn, too! OK! Ready?

Yai:
Of course!

Mayl:
Yeah!

Dex:
Here...we...GO!

(They hurry in)

MegaMan:
Let's go, Lan!

Lan:
Yeah!

Dex, Mayl and Yai confronting the thief, Rei)

Dex:
Hey, thief! Stop it right there!

Rei:
Kids...? They saw me? Kids or not, nobody who sees me can survive!

Yai:
Wow. He sounds pretty hard-core.

(Lan comes in)

Lan:
Dex, Mayl, Yai! Get back!

Dex:
Lan! We already said this was our turn!

Rei:
Lan? Are you THE Lan? Heh heh! Looks like this is my lucky day!

Lan:
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?

Rei:
Your name is on my organization's blacklist, Lan! If I kill you and that Navi
of yours, I'll get a big, juicy promotion!

Mayl:
Kill Lan?... We won't let you!

Dex:
Lan! Stay back!

Yai:
We can do this, if we work together!

Rei:
You stupid little brats! I'll kill all of you at once! FlashMan, GO!

FlashMan:
Wheeeeee! Hypno Flash!

(Hypno Flash hits Dex, Mayl, and Yai)

Lan:
Everyone!

FlashMan:
Wheeeeee!

Lan:
Dex! Mayl! Yai! You all okay?

Dex:
..... I'm a choo-choo! Chugga, chugga!!

Lan:
Dex!!

Yai:
I'm a biiig swan! Flap flap flap!

Mayl:
Nnngh... Run....Lan...

MegaMan:
They're hypnotized! Lan, stay away from that light!

FlashMan:
That's correct, MegaMan! If you're hit by my Hypno-Flash, you'll be hypnotized
until I get deleted! Now that I'm done with them, you're next!

MegaMan:
Run, Lan!

Lan:
No choice! I've got to drop back for now!

(Lan runs)

Rei:
He got away! Ah, well. Today's mission was to steal the TetraCode. I don't
need to waste time on him! FlashMan! I'm transmitting the TetraCode! I'll leave
Lan and MegaMan to you!

FlashMan:
Yes, sir!

(Lan finds Mayl)

Mayl:
Nnnnnh...

Game Narrator:
Bonk...! Something fell from Mayl's pocket! Lan got a chip for "Roll R"!!

Lan:
I'll just borrow this, Mayl!

(Lan finds Yai)

Yai:
Flap, flap... Flap, flap... I'm a swan! A beautiful swan!

(Lan finds Dex)

Dex:
Choo-chooooo!

Lan:
So...We've got to beat FlashMan to bring them back to normal?

MegaMan:
With that hypnotic beam, we'd better be careful going in...

Lan:
Is there anyway we can get inside without getting hit?

MegaMan:
If only we had something to block the light...

Lan:
Something to block the light...? Let's look around in the school. We might
find something.

(Lan finds Parasol)

MegaMan:
Lan! Maybe we can use this Parasol to stop the beam!

Lan:
Hey, good idea!

Narrator:
Lan got: "Parasol"!!

(Lan goes back to Teacher's Lounge)

FlashMan:
Ha, ha, ha! So you came to die! Take this! Hypno Flash!

MegaMan:
Lan! Now!

Lan:
Gotcha!

(Lan uses Parasol to block attack)

FlashMan:
What!!

MegaMan:
Go for it, Lan!

Lan:
Yaaaaaah! Let's go, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Roger!

Lan:
Jack in!! MegaMan, Execute!

(MegaMan jacks in)

MegaMan: It's dark in here. This looks like the data for some classroom.

Lan:
It's the Principal's PC! It's full of school data. OK, MegaMan! Let's go find
FlashMan!

MegaMan:
Roger! You handle the operation, Lan!

Lan:
You bet!

(MegaMan finds a Program)

Program:
The security door is closed. You must unlock the security door to pass to the
area beyond it. "Keydata" is needed to open each security door. The "Keydata"
should be around here, but it's too dark now.

MegaMan:
I agree. It'll be too hard to find the "Keydata" in the dark. Can you do
something about it, Lan?

Lan:
Okay! Let me figure out some way to make your area brighter!

MegaMan:
Hold on! Program is saying something!

Program:
In order to make the area brighter... You'll have to turn on the light switch
in the real world. By the way, I saw a doodle the other day. It said,
"Cleaners1" Perhaps it has something to do with the real world.

MegaMan:
"Cleaners1"...? Is it a clue for the real world for this area?

(Lan flips the light switch)

Lan:
I turned the lights on. How is it over there, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
It's bright enough to search now, Lan!

Lan:
All right! I'm counting on you, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
You bet!

(MegaMan finds KeydataA)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "KeydataA"!!

(MegaMan goes to one of the gates)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan used: "KeydataA"!

(MegaMan finds KeydataB)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "KeydataB"!!

(MegaMan runs into a security system)

Game Narrator:
Launching intruder ejection program!

(MegaMan deletes the virus)

(MegaMan goes to one of the gates)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan used: "KeydataB"!

(MegaMan finds KeydataC)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "KeydataC"!!

(MegaMan unlocks the last gate)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan used: "KeydataC"!

(MegaMan goes to next area)

Navi:
Emergency, emergency! An intruder has entered through that security door!

MegaMan:
How can we open that door?

Navi:
It has three passwords. You must find them to open it. Unfortunately, it's too
dark to look for them now.

Lan:
I'll go turn on the lights, MegaMan! Leave it to me.

MegaMan:
Thanks, Lan!

Lan:
Do you know which Cyberworld you're in now, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
Hold on. I can see something that looks like a statue.

Lan:
A statue, huh? Okay, I'll go look around!

(Lan flips the light switch)

Lan:
How's that, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
The lights came on! Thanks, Lan!

Lan:
Let's go find FlashMan, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan gets all three passwords and goes through the gates)

FlashMan:
MegaMan!

MegaMan:
FlashMan! Release my friends from the hypnosis!

FlashMan:
I told you! You have to delete me to break the hypnosis! Come and get me,
MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Lan!

Lan:
MegaMan! Battle routine, set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

(MegaMan deletes FlashMan)

Rei:
You disappointed me, FlashMan.

FlashMan:
I am deeply sorry, sir...

Rei:
I hope you haven't forgotten the rules of our organization.

FlashMan:
Yes, sir! Rule 98! Never get deleted, even if defeated in battle!

Rei:
You will fight Lan and MegaMan again! Go, FlashMan!

FlashMan:
Yes, sir! MegaMan! Lan! Enjoy my last flash... A flash of death!

(FlashMan starts to self destruct)

FlashMan:
SHINING...BROWSER...CRASHER...!

(FlashMan blows up)

MegaMan:
Whoa!

Rei:
Well done, FlashMan! That flash is the beacon for a major catastrophe! And
with that, young Lan, I'll take my leave... Farewell!

MegaMan:
Wait! Just who are you!? ... He's gone, Lan... Ngh!

(MegaMan starts flashing and sparking and falls on his knees)

Lan:
MegaMan! Are you okay?

MegaMan:
I',...I'm OK. Just a little dizzy... But how is everyone? Is everything OK?

Lan:
That's right! We've got to get over there!

(Lan finds his friends)

Lan:
Has the hypnosis worn off!?

Dex:
Were we hypnotized?

Yai:
I had absolutely no idea!

Mayl:
You saved us again, Lan. Thanks.

Lan:
No problem!

MegaMan:
We should go home, or we'll be late for school tomorrow.

Dex:
I can't be late! Let's head back home!

Yai:
You're right. And I need my beauty sleep, too.

Mayl:
See you tomorrow!

(They leave)

MegaMan:
By the way, Lan. What did that guy mean by "major catastrophe"?

Lan:
You're thinking too much, MegaMan. Don't sweat it. We should go home, too!

(Lan leaves the school)

MegaMan:
Lan, you've got mail!!

Dex's email:
"Let's battle!" - I can't sleep...I'm in the park now. Want to NetBattle? Oh,
and thanks for today!! Take this as a thank you from me.

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "DexCode"!!

(Lan goes to the park)

Dex:
Lan, thanks for your help. I hate to ask you this after you helped me and
all... But I'm frustrated I didn't get to use GutsMan enough. So I was
hoping... Would you NetBattle me?

(Lan NetBattles GutsMan and wins)

Dex:
I'll get you next time!

(Lan goes home and to bed)

MegaMan:
Good night, Lan!

Rei:
As you commanded. Here it is, my lord.

(Shows who Rei is talking to)

Wily:
Heh heh heh... Hah hah hah hah! This time there is no way my plan will fail!
We are...Different from before!

Rei:
With your leave, I shall make my departure now!

(Rei leaves)

Wily:
Next, it's your turn...

I will do all that I can to destroy that which you hate most!

Wily:
And that would be...?

(A kid comes out of the Metroline)

Kid:
Ex'coose me! Ex'COOSe me!! .......

(A guy come near him)

Kid:
! Ex'coose me!

Man:
Huh?

Kid:
Do you know where da #1 NetBattler in town lives?

Man:

Kid:
Dat's my brother! I'm looking for him!

Man:
Um, er, I'm sorry, but no. I've only just come here, myself.

Kid:
Oh...

Man:
Please excuse me, I must get to an appointment...

Kid:
Big brother, where are youuuu!?

(Lan in his bedroom)

Lan:
So where should we play today, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
Wh-t a-out yo-r h-mewo-k, L-n?

Lan:
What? I can't understand you!

MegaMan:
Y-ur ho-ewor-!

Lan:
Oh, I'll do that later. But you need to speak clearly!

MegaMan:
So-ry...

Lan:
Has this been happening since you battled FlashMan?

MegaMan:
Yeah, something seems wrong with...Hey, it's working now... Something seems to
be wrong with this PET...

Lan:
I wonder if that last flash did it?

MegaMan:
Lan, let's get dad to take a look at it. I hate to bother him at work,
though...

Lan:
It should be OK. We ARE his kids, after all... OK! Let's go to SciLab!

MegaMan:
OK! I'll send him an e-mail to let him know we're coming.

Lan:
Good idea. OK, let's go!!

MegaMan:
Oh, by the way...!

Lan:
Wh... What now?

MegaMan:
There's a rumor that your little brother is looking for you.

Lan:
My WHAT? Little brother?

MegaMan:
He says that he's looking for the #1 NetBattler in ACDC... But you don't have
a younger brother, do you?

Lan:
Of course not! You know that! It must be some mistake... Forget it. Let's go
see dad!

MegaMan:
Yeah, OK!

(Lan goes to the Metroline and thekid is blocking the path)

Yai:
Lan! You've got to help us with this kid! He's your little brother, right?

Mayl:
We were hoping to go shopping... Why don't you talk to him and try to calm him
down?

(Lan turns to the kid)

Kid:
Aw, you're not my brother!

Mayl:
But you said the #1 NetBattler in ACDC, right?

Kid:
NO!! That's not my brother!

Yai:
You little brat! Why, I oughta...

Lan:
Which one's the little brat here?

MegaMan:
Lan? Why don't you ask him what his brother's name is?

LanL
Hey, yeah! Well? What is it?

Kid:
I can't tell you! He's da #1 NetBattler in ACDC! You should know, just by dat!
Hmph!

Yai:
.....Lan, we want to go shopping! Can't you do something?

Lan:
Me? I've got stuff to do too, y'know!

Mayl:
Oh, Lan...

Lan:
..Oh, all right, all right! C'mon, MegaMan! Let's go!

MegaMan:
OK! Off to find the #1 NetBattler in ACDC!

Kid:
And HURRY!

(Lan goes to the school)

Kid:
That Dex is calling himself the #1 NetBattler in town! He challenged me to a
battle, but now he's stuck in class! I'm tired of waiting for him. Maybe
I'll just go home...

(Lan finds Dex)

Lan:
There's a kid who's lookign for the #1 NetBattler in town...

Dex:
Oh, you mean me??

Lan:
Huh!?

Dex:
Aw, pipe down! ... He's here! Chisao's here! Lan, take me to him!

Lan:
Sure, whatever...

(Lan and Dex go to the Metroline)

Dex:
Chisao!

Chisao:
Big brother!

Dex:
Chisao!!

Chisao:
Big brother!!

(Dex and Chisao hug)

Yai:
Oh, how sweet...

Mayl:
Isn't it, though?

Lan:
I had completely forgotten that Dex has a brother...

Mayl:
Me too! Wasn't he living in Netopia...? Something about his father being there
on business?

Dex:
Right. I've seen photos of him, but I haven't met since he was 1. So I'm not
surprised that you didn't recognize him! I'm sorry for all the trouble he
caused! Mayl That's OK, but... Why was he calling you the #1 NetBattler in
ACDC?

Dex:
Oh, that. Uh, well...

Chisao:
'Cause he IS! Just like you wrote in your mails!! Especially dat kid Lan's
Navi! You ALWAYS beat it!

Dex:

Chisao:

Dex:

Chisao:
..... Big brother, I HATE youuuu!

Dex:
Chisao, wait! Let me explain!

Lan:
Wait, Dex!

Mayl:

MegaMan:
I think we should just let Dex handle this, Lan.

Yai:
Please do! We want to go shopping!

MegaMan:
I know how you feel, but we n-ed to ge- to - ad's...Huh? T-e PET s-ems to -e

(If you decide to lose the battle)

Chisao:
Yay! Big brother, you're da greatest!

Dex:
How do ya like that, Chisao! I told you I'm the best!!

Yai:
Is it just me, or did Lan seem to be holding back a bit?

Mayl:
I'm sure he did that for Chisao's sake...

Chisao:
You're so great! I love you, big brother!

Dex:
Ha ha! Me too, kid!

MegaMan:
I know how you feel, but just look how, happy Dex is... C'mon, let's ge- goi-

(Lan and MegaMan head toward the SciLab)

Lab Tech:
Huh? Who are you? Dr. Hikari's son!? Oh, that's right! I've seen you at our
old lab.

Lan:
Um, is my dad around? I'd like him to take a look at my PET...

Lab Tech:
Sorry, he's in a meeting now. He's quite busy, you know. Your PET is a custom
job, so he'd have to fix it personally... Try using this for now. At least
it'll let you back up.

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "SubPET"!!

Lan:
Thank you! But, my dad...

Lab Tech:
I'll be sure to let him know you came by!

MegaMan:
Should we go hom, then? Dad can check out the PET later...

Lan:
Huh? Is the PET working again, or what?

MegaMan:
Hey, you're right!

(Lan get e-mail)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

Dex's email:
"New shortcut" - Lan, check it out! I made a shortcut from my homepage to ACDC
Square! Now you can go from my homepage straight to ACDC Square! I just opened
the gate!

(Lan goes downstairs and runs into the DNN producer)

Producer:
Well hello there!

Lan:
?

MegaMan:
It's that DNN producer, isn't it?

Producer:
What are you doing here!?

Lan:
I just came to get my dad to...

Producer:
No time, no time! You need to go get on the air! The 2nd round of the
preliminaries are starting!

Lan:
What? Really!?

Producer:
Really! Get there soon, or you'll be disqualified! But, you did so well in
round 1, I'll make sure you get in if you hurry to SciLab Square right now!
Hurry, hurry!

Lan:
I'm not really prepared, but...OK!

Producer:
Well stop chatting and get going! Hurry, hurry! We're shooting this live this
time, so hurry! I've gotta go, too!

(The producer leaves)

MegaMan:
That guy sure has a lot of energy...

Lan:
Yep.

(Producer comes back)

Producer:
Oh, sorry! I forgot to give you this!

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "CSciPass"!

Producer:
No time to explain! Hurry, hurry!

(The producer leaves again)

MegaMan:
What should we do?

Lan:
Well, we sure don't want to be disqualified!

MegaMan:
No way! Well, then, let's hurry, hurry!

Lan:
Enough with the "hurry, hurry", OK!?

(Lan jacks in through Dex's computer and unlocks his security cube)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan used "DexCode"!! The security has been unlocked!!

(MegaMan goes on the CyberMetro)

Conductor:
Welcome to Cyber-ACDC Station! Where to?

(MegaMan selects the SciLab, the CyberMetro comes to pick him up. On his way
to the Square Entrace MegaMan is stopped by a Program.)

Program:
Are you Mr. MegaMan? I have a message from Ms. Roll. She says she's doing the
preliminaries and you must hurry. You can register at SciLab Sqr, which is
through this gate. The yellow path is the Main Street of SciLab Sqr.

(MegaMan goes in and talks to N1 Navi)

Navi:
We're broadcasting this live, so make sure to keep it exciting! All right,
time for Mission #1! Mission #1 is a three-round Survival Battle! Are you
ready!?

(MegaMan goes into battle and wins)

Navi:
Annnd, CUT! Great shot! Just beautiful! We're still rolling, so let's move on
to the 2nd mission! For the 2nd mission, you have to find a Navi we've
disguised and hidden right here in SciLab area! After you beat him, just come
on back here to me! Give me some great shots now, kid! OK?

Lan:
Let's go, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan finds the disguised navi)

Navi:
You were a fool to seek me out, little Navi! You dare to take on the most
feared Navi in the Undernet......the legendary Virus King!?

MegaMan:
The Virus King? Lan, be careful! This may be the strongest opponent we've ever
faced!

Lan:
No, MegaMan! He's just an actor for the TV show!

MegaMan:
Huh? Oh, I get it. So he isn't really strong?

Navi:
..C'mon, guys! We're on live TV here! The viewers will get bored! We can't
use this! Cut! Cut to another camera! All right, let's try a retake, OK? We'll
start with you searching for me in area 2! And please, try to get a little
more into your part, OK?

(The navi runs off)

MegaMan:
Wow. We blew that one, huh?

Lan:
Don't worry about it! Let's go find him again!

(MegaMan finds the Navi again)

Navi:
Ah, so you're the foolish Navi who wants to be deleted. You actually think you
stand a chance of defeating ME? Me, the one they call "The Virus King"?

MegaMan:
You got it! I'm MegaMan, and I came here to delete you!

Navi:
(That's the spirit!) Attaaaaack!!!

(MegaMan goes into battle and wins)

Navi:
How could you beat me!!?? What a powerful Navi!!!

(The navi goes away)

MegaMan:
.....

Lan:
And what a crummy actor...

MegaMan:
Yeah, but I'm glad tha- we -on!

Lan:
Uh-oh. Is the PET acting up again?

MegaMan:
It -ook t-at -ay...

Lan:
I wish that we could get Dad to fix it...

MegaMan:
Well, you know he's busy. Hey, it's working again...!

Lan:
Yeah, I guess so. OK, let's head back for the next mission!

(MegaMan goes back to N1 Navi)

Navi:
Nice work!! Moving on to Mission #3! MIssion #3 will be assigned in ACDC, so
head over there! Mission #3 will be given by a Navi somewhre in ACDC. Good
luck finding the Navi! Here's a ticket for the CyberMetro. You can have it.

Narrator:
MegaMan got: "CACDCPas"!!

(MegaMan finds the navi)

Navi:
Welcome. I'll be in charge of the 3rd mission. Here we go! Mission #3 is a
survival battle. You will fight 3 battles. If you can survive all 3, you'll
clear Round 2. Are you ready?

(MegaMan goes into battle and win yet again)

Navi:
OK! Great job, kid!

Lan:
Way to go, MegaMan! I think that...

MegaMan:
Lan? What's wrong? Lan!?

(Everything around MegaMan starts to spin)

MegaMan:
Whoa! What's happening!?

Navi:
So, congratulations on completing the... Something wrong?

MegaMan:
What do you mean? You don't see anything strange?

Navi:
Strange? No...

MegaMan:
..... I get it! The PET's transmission program is buggy! I can't get back
into the PET!

Navi:
Sorry to leave you like this, but I've got to get going... Please understand
that the TV station cannot be held... responsible for this or any damages! ...
See ya!

(Everything stops spinning)

MegaMan:
Well, it looks like it's calmed down... Lan! LAN!! It's no used! He can't hear
me! I'll have to go to where I jacked in to jack back out!

(MegaMan gets out of the Net safly)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan made it back to the PET, but needs to be stored in the "SubPET" until
the normal PET is fixed. Later that night...

(Lan sitting at the dinner table)

Lan:
Man, this is no fun...

MegaMan:
Yeah, we can't go online, and we can't even NetBattle...

Lan:
I hope we can get the PET fixed soon!

Mom:
Lan!! Come over here and eat your dinner! You have to get up early tomorrow!

Lan:
All right, all right! But why do I have to get up early?

Mom:
You've already forgotten? Tomorrow is your field trip!

Lan:
Hey! That's right!!

MegaMan:
Oh, yeah! I had completely forgotten! I can't wait to get to the Yoka zoo!

Lan:
Gosh, you sound like a little kid...

MegaMan:
Um, who was it that cried when dad was too busy to take us?

Lan:
T-That was a long time ago!

Mom:
I thought I told you to come here and eat!!

Game Narrator:
Ding dong!

Mom:
Who could that be at this late hour?

(Dad enters the house)

Dad:
I'm home, everyone!

Lan:
Dad!! Hey!!!

MegaMan:
Welcome home!

Mom:
It's so good to see you home so early!

Dad:
Yeah, I guess it's been a while!

Mom:
You don't have to work late tonight, as usual?

Dad:
Well, I have work to do, but the server is off for maintenance. Um, would it
be OK if I came in?

Mom:
Oh, my! I'm sorry, I kept you standing there!

Dad:
It took you this long to notice?

Mom:
Sorry, honey!!

All:
Ha, ha, ha!

(Later that night Lan talks to his Dad)

Dad:
Oh, by the way... I heard you dropped by SciLab today, Lan?

Lan:
Yeah, my PET broke! Can you fix it?

Dad:
Well, let's see... Wow, what a mess. The transmission program is totally
fried.

MegaMan:
Can you fix it?

Dad:
Of course!

Lan:
Cool! Thanks, dad!

Dad:
But not now. I'll have to take it to SciLab for repairs.

Lan:
You mean I have to wait even longer?

Dad:
Well, that's the price you pay for a full-custom PET! I'll send you some new
data tomorrow.

MegaMan:
Thank you! We can wait, right, Lan?

Lan:
Yeah, I guess...

Mom:
Lan, you have to get to bed so you don't oversleep tomorrow!!

Lan:
OK, OK! Promise me you'll get to it tomorrow, dad!

(Lan goes to bed)

MegaMan:
Good night, Lan!

(Lan wakes up in the morning)

Lan:
Oh, no! I overslept! MegaMan, why didn't you wake me up!?
MegaMan:
Yawn...! Sorry... "SubPET" doesn't have an alarm function... We'd better get
to school right away! If we're late, they'll leave us behind!

Lan: Hey, yeah! Let's hurry!

(Lan hurries to school)

Lan:
Whew!

MegaMan:
It looks like they haven't left yet!

Ms. Mari:
Lan, you're late! Well, now that we finally have everyone here... Let's go on
our field trip!

Dex:
Aw, yeah!

Mayl:
Off to Yoka!

Yai:
The hot spring there had better have clean water!

Ms. Mari:
Everyone, remember to represent ACDC well by being good!

All:
Yes, ma'am!!!!

Ms. Mari:
OK, let's goooo!!

(Screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
Later that day...

(Shows Land and Classmates at Yoka)

Ms. Mari:
Is everyone here? We've reached Yoka!

Dex:
All riiiight!

Mayl:
Yeah!

Yai:
I just knew this place would smell like a zoo...

Kid:
Ms. Mari! Which way is the zoo?

Ms. Mari:
I'm sorry, I just learned that it's closed today!

Dex:
Oh, come on!!

Lan:
No way!

Ms. Mari:
It's true, I'm afraid. Well, we'll just go there tomorrow, so today's a free
day! Everyone, be sure to get back to the inn in time for dinner! See you later!

All:
Yes, ma'am!!

(Lan goes around and finds Mayl)

Mayl:
Yai! Look! a raccoon just ran along the eaves! Huh? Lan? Yai was right here a
second ago. Hmm.

Kid:
Yai just went through there. She said she was going to explore the inn.

(Lan goes through there)

Yai:
Oh, this just goes outside. That's a disappointment. But that fence over there
looks rickety.

(Lan examines the fence)

Game Narrator:
The fence says "Keep Out!"

MegaMan:
Looks like we can't go beyond here. But where does it go?

Lan:
I wonder...

Ms. Mari:
Attention, ACDC School students in class 5-A... It's bath time! Please go in
order.

Lan:
Bath time! Let's go, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
OK!

(The screen shows Lan and Dex in the Yoka in Outdoor Bath)

Game Narrator:
..Creeeeak...

MegaMan:
This feels great, doesn't it, Lan?

Lan:
It sure does! ...Hey, wait a minute! You're not in the bath!

MegaMan:
Ha ha! Well, I'm with you in spirit!

Lan:
..Sure!

Game Narrator: ...Creeeeak...

(Screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
Later, after a delicious and filling meal...

(The screen shows a pillow fight)

Dex:
I'll get you!!!!

Lan:
Oh yeah? How's this!

Mayl:
Eeeek!!! Take that!!

Yai:
Hey! HEY! Take it easy!

Kid:
Ha ha ha!! YEAH!

(Screen goes black and Lan's PET beeps)

MegaMan:
Yaaaawn...! Good morning, Lan! Yesterday was fun!

Lan:
Yeah, who's that mail from?

MegaMan:
Let me see... Oh, it's from dad!

Lan:
Cool! I guess he fixed the program!

MegaMan:
Want me to install it?

Lan:
Yeah! Go ahead!

Game Narrator:
..beep beep beep... Bing!!!

MegaMan:
Great! Now we can jack in again! ...Huh?

Lan:
What's wrong? It's not working?

MegaMan:
No, there was another file with the mail. What's this?

(Lan reads email)


Dad's email:
"Fixed" - Lan, I've fixed the transmission program. I also finished the "Navi
Customizer" I was working on. I'll attach that to this mail, too. If you
install this into your PET and start it up, you can install various programs
into MegaMan. If you program him well, MegaMan can become stronger! I've also
included a few programs.  Try them out! When you customize, you will sometimes
need to change folders, so I'm sending you this, as well.

Game Narrator:
Lan got: a Navi Customizer, the programs, "UnderSht", "Atk+1", "Speed+1" and a
"XtraFldr"!!

MegaMan:
Lan, I'll open the Navi Customizer practice file!

(Show Navi Customizer screen)

Dad:
This is the customization screen. Right now, MegaMan.EXE is shutting down. Now
we can make a program to customize MegaMan's abilities. You customize by
loading programs.  Into his "Memory Map", like this. Let's add "UnderSht".  It
ensures his HP never drops below 1. Choose "UnderSht" from the upper right
window to add it... But there is a rule you must follow! See the line in the
middle of the Memory Map? That's called the Command Line. You must set
programs on the Command Line before they will begin functioning.  Just being
on one square is enough! OK, let's try setting "UnderSht"!

(Lan puts "UnderSht" in NC)

Dad:
OK, next let's try "Atk+1"! Try it, Lan!

(Lan selects "Atk+1")

Dad:
Now, there's another rule. Look at this "Atk+1". See the pattern? This is a
Plus Parts program. You should never put Plus Parts on the Command Line. OK,
try setting the "Atk+1".

(Lan puts "Atk+1" in NC)

Dad:
OK. Finally, let's try setting the program "Speed+1". Try it, Lan!

(Lan selects "Speed+1")

Dad:
Now here's the third rule! It's the last one. Pay attention! You can't line up
two programs with the same color! For example, this "UnderSht" and this
"Speed+1" are the same color. You must be careful not to put them next to each
other. Now, you try it!

(Lan puts "Speed+1 in NC)

Dad:
OK, now I'll tell you about the "RUN" command! RUN will start the NetNavi
program MegaMan.EXE. MegaMan will awaken, able to use programs on his Memory
Map. Try hitting RUN, Lan!

(Lan hits the run button and it displayes an "OK")

Dad:
OK, now it's running! Try talking to MegaMan!

Lan:
I hope he's OK... MegaMan, how do you feel?

MegaMan:
Mmmmmph...

Lan:
Mega... MegaMan!?

MegaMan:
Looks like it went well, Lan! I feel stronger already!

Lan:
Hey, don't scare me like that!

Dad:
Looks like it's running. You can add more programs later!

Lan:
Cool! I'll look for more programs to make him stronger!

Dad:
That's fine, Lan, but don't forget the 3 rules I told you! If you don't obey
those rules, you could create a bug! Now, MegaMan can only use programs of
these colors.

(Points to color blocks)

Dad:
If you try to use any other colors, you'll get an error! If an error occurs,
MegaMan won't be able to start up!

Lan:
Got it! Thanks, dad!

Dad:
That's it for the Customizer. Have fun, you two!

(Lan exits out of the NC)

MegaMan:
Hey, Lan! It's time to meet up with the others!

(Lan goes outside and talks to Tamako)

Tamako:
Welcome! Pick up your souvenirs here! Hey there, kid! You've got a cool-
looking PET! I can tell you must be pretty hot at NetBattling! Whaddya say?
Want to battle Tamako, the princess of Ura Inn?

(Lan says yes)

Tamako:
Don't think that I'm easy to beat just because I'm a woman!

(Lan and Tamako NetBattle and wins)

Tamako:
How...!? How could my MetalMan lose? You're pretty good, kid!

(Lan finds the rest of his class)

MegaMan:
Good! We caught up with everyone!

Ms. Mari:
OK, we'll be going to the zoo now! Be sure to follow the rules, and don't feed
the animals!

All:
Yes, ma'am!!

(Dex, Mayl, Lan, Yai, and Chiso talking)

Dex:
I'm going to take Chisao around. Let's meet later to eat!

Mayl:
OK!

Lan:
OK, see you later!

(Lan walks around and finds Dex)

Dex:
Great timing, Lan! Let's decide on a place for lunch? Let's look around for a
bit, then meet up at the lion cage.

(Lan looks at the animal cages and goes to the meeting place)

Lan:
Huh? Where is everyone?

MegaMan:
I guess we're the first ones here.

Lan:
I guess so.

Mayl/Yai:
Here we are!

(Mayl/Yai come up to Lan)

Lan:
You're late!

Mayl:
Wow, it's not like you to be the first one waiting!

Yai:
Now we just have to wait for Dex and Chisao.

Mayl:
Hey, did you notice...

Yai:
There's no monkeys! Incredible! Can you believe it??

Mayl:
Not that! Aren't the animals here a little bit scary?

Lan:
Now that you mention it, they do seem a bit odd...

Yai:
Well, I'VE seen wild animals in NetFrica, so this is nothing!

Lion:
Roaaaaaar! Groooooowl!!!

(Lan, Mayl, and Yai jump)

Mayl:
L-Lan...

Lan:
Don't worry, they're safe in their cages. But what's wrong?

Yai:
You guys are such children! (Whew...! I almsot screamed!)

Lion:
Grrrrrowl! Grrrrrr!!!

Yai:
(Be calm... be calm...)

Mayl:
Lan, what's going on?

Lan:
I don't like the looks of this...

???:
..elp me-----!

Lan:
!?

(Lan moves forward then he sees the Condor flying off with Chisao)

Chisao:
Heeeelp me-----!

Mayl:
It's Chisao!

Chisao:
Wahhhhh!!!

(Dex comes running after Chisao)

Dex:
Chisaoooooo!! Huff...puff... C-Chi ...sao...!

Mayl:
Lan!

Lan:
I'll do something!

(Lan turns around to find out the lion is out of its cage)

Lion:
Roaaaar!!!

Lan:
Wh...Whoa!!

Mayl:
Eeeeeeeek!!!!

Yai:
.......

Lan:
We've got to save Chisao!

(Lan, Yai, Mayl, and Dex run away from the lion)

Lion:
Roaaaar!!!!

(After a while Lan gets to the entrance of the Zoo)

MegaMan:
Lan! Up there! On the tower!

(Lan looks up on the tower and sees Chisao)

Lan:
Chisao!

MegaMan:
I'll let the others know that we found Chisao!

Lan:
Good idea! Hang on, Chisao! I'll save you!

(Lan runs to the tower to climb up, but the Condor knocks Lan down)

MegaMan:
That condor won't let us climb up there!

Lan:
Gosh! What can we do!? ......

Dex:
Chisao!!

(Dex, Mayl, and Yai run up to Lan)

Dex:
Lan! Where's Chisao?

Lan:
Up there!

Dex:
Chisao! Chisaooooo!

Chisao:
Bro...Brother? Big broooooo! Where are yoooou!? ...and where am I?
Aaaaahhhh!!! Too hiiiiiigh!! So scared!! Sob, sob!

Dex:
Chisaooooo!

Mayl:
What could make the animals act like this?

Woman:
Somebody help!!!!!

(A woman comes running up)

Woman:
The zookeeper! The zookeeper!

Yai:
He's being attacked!?

Woman:
No! He's controlling the animals from the zoo office!

Lan:
Controlling them? What do you mean!?

Woman:
The animals have chips in them to monitor health! He's using the chips to send
programs to them!

Mayl:
Chips...? That's sick!

Woman:
He put them in when he started working here! Most of the employees didn't even
know!

MegaMan:
Lan, we have to stop that zookeeper!

Yai:
I guess that's the only way we can save Chisao!

MegaMan:
Lan!

Lan:
OK! I'll go!

Woman:
You can enter the zoo network from the MultiUnit on the panda cage. Go through
there to get to the server!

(Lan heads to the panda cage and jacks in)

MegaMan:
Lan, I've made it to the zoo network!

Lan:
Great! Look for the server! It's in there, somewhere!

MegaMan:
Roger!

Lan:
Hurry, MegaMan!

(There are several programs that MegaMan uses to get to...)

MegaMan:
!!!

BeastMan:
Roaaaar!

Lan:
Is that a virus?

MegaMan:
No, it looks like one, but that's a Navi!

BeastMan:
Roaaaaar! So you've found me out!! I was hoping you'd get closer to my ripping
claws! But I guess you're a bit smarter than you look!

MegaMan:
You'll never fool NetBattlers like us!

BeastMan:
Oh, how cute. But I hate you noisy human-shaped Navis... You're always so
arrogant, always looking down on us...

Zookeeper:
BeastMan!! Enough chatter! Hurry up and delete it!

Lan:
How can you call yourself a zookeeper and still do this!?

Zookeeper:
Ah-hahaha! I'm no zookeeper! I'm a WWW member, stupid! Got it!?

Lan: The WWW!?

MegaMan: But...But Wily is supposed to be dead!

Zookeeper:
Ah-hahaha! Wily doesn't die that easily! He's gathered us together, and built
an all-new WWW! But enough of that! BeastMan, can you hear me!? You delete the
Navi! I'll use the animals to get these kids!

BeastMan:
Grrr...! He doesn't play nice, does he!? Now, boy! Take the call of the wild
to your grave!! Roaaaar!!

(MegaMan goes into battle and wins)

Zookeeper:
That fool! Losing a batttle by trying to show off!

Lan:
You're the operator! Why blame the Navi?

MegaMan:
There! Now you can't control the animals anymore!

Zookeeper:
Oops, gotta run...! Well, at least I got the 2nd TetraCode! Wily will be
happy! Time to run!!

Lan:
Wait! Are you serious about Wily being alive!?

Game Narrator:
Click...

Lan:
Too bad! He cut the connection!

MegaMan:
Lan, we can worry about the WWW later! Chisao comes first!

Lan:
You're right! Let's go check on everybody!

(MegaMan jacks out and Lan goes back to Chisao)

Lan:
Chisao!

(The Condor flys by again)

Condor:
QUACK!

Chisao:
..Quack? Huh? Ahh! I'm falling! He'p me!

Lan:
Watch out!!

(Dex catches Chisao)

Chisao:
Big brother! You saved me!!

Dex:
Heh! No, you need to thank the #1 NetBattler, there!!

Chisao:
Huh? But YOU'RE da #1 NetBattler!?

Dex:
No, Chisao...

Lan:
Dex, it's OK!

Dex:
..Heh. I guess I owe you one again, Lan...

Mayl:
Oh, I'm so glad that Chisao is OK...

Lan:
Yeah!

Yai:
I think I might cry!

(Lan, Mayl, Dex, Chisao, and Yai are in ACDC park)

Lan:
What!? Chisao came to take you to Netopia!?

Dex:
Yeah! I'm surprised myself!

Mayl:
So you're leaving?

Dex:
No, don't worry! Somebody's got to stick around as boss of ACDC Elementary! I
hate to disappoint Chisao and my father, though...

Yai:
Well, don't let ME keep you here... So, what happened to Chisao?

Dex:
He got homesick, and went back to Netopia yesterday! I'm sorry for all the
trouble he caused you guys! Please accept my apologies!!!!

Lan:
Ah, it was nothing!

Mayl:
Yeah, I think it's sweet, the way you two are so close!

Dex:
Really? Ha ha ha! I guess we are! I feel pretty good now. Like I can take on
the WWW alone!

Yai:
Maybe you should try to become the #1 NetBattler, first?

Dex:
Urk!! Why, I'll get you for that, you little...!

(Dex starts to chase Yai around the park)

Lan/Mayl:
Ha ha ha ha!!!!

They've already deleted two of my Navis! I'll get you , Lan! And your little
Navi, too! Well, at least I have the second TetraCode now! Only two more to go
before I can finally initiate... "Cybergeddon"!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!! Wheeze...!
Gasp...! And this time, I'm ready for anything! As long as HE is on my side,
MegaMan can never stop me! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

(Screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
Friday, one month after the zoo incident...

(The screen shows Lan's classroom)

Ms. Mari:
..thus "compression" refers to the act of shrinking a large amount of data by
utilizing the program's power. Shrinking data allows you to send and save even
more data. SciLab quickly pocesses massive amounts of data on a daily basis by
using compression.

Lan:
Ms. Mari! Can MegaMan be compressed, too?

Ms. Mari:
Hmm. I suppose he could be, but it would require some specialized processing.
It wouldn't be easy.

Lan:
Aw,man! I wish it were easy. Then, when he tells me to do my homework, I could
shrink him to the size of a bean!

MegaMan:
Lan! Just who would you shrink to a bean? I knew it! ... So that's how you
feel about me! Fine! Go ahead and wake up by yourself tomorrow! See what I
care!

Lan:
Uh, I was just kidding MegaMan! I'd never do that!

MegaMan:
Reeeeally?

Lan:
I promise! Please! C'mon, wake me up tomorrow, OK?

MegaMan:
Oh, all right.

Game Narrator:
Ding-Dong Ding-Dong

Ms. Mari:
Very well then, that's it for today. Just because tomorrow's Saturday though
doesn't mean you shouldn't do your homework! See you next week!

All:
Goodbye, Ms. Mari!

Lan:
All right! No school tomorrow! What should we do?

MegaMan:
I don't know, let's see what everyone else is doing!

(Lan get an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

Higsby's email:
"Help, huh!!" Lan, it's Higsby! I have a favor to ask you, huh! Could you
please come down to my store, huh?

(Lan leaves ACDC school and goes to Higsby's shop)

Higsby:
Hi Lan! Thanks for coming! Ahuh-choo! ...Ahuh-choo!

Lan:
Are you OK, Higsby?

Higsby:
Huh? Yes, I'm fine. I came back safe and sound from a sales trip, but I caught
a ...a... Ahuh-choo! I caught a cold, huh! *Sniff*!

Lan:
You said you wanted to ask us something?

Higsby:
Actually, I have three errands to run today, but I don't think I can do them
with this awful fever huh! I was hoping you'd be so kind as to run the errands
for me.

Lan
Of course.

Higsby:
I'll pay yah as a part-timer. Ahuh-choo!

Lan:
Me? A job? I'm just a fifth grader! You're willing to trust me?

Higsby:
But of course! You're the most trustworthy elementary school student around!
Just don't tell Ms. Mari!

Lan:
B-But...

MegaMan:
Don't worry, Lan! It's for Higsby! It will be educational! Besides, Ms.Mari
told you not to goof off, right?

Lan:
Well, she did say to study. Guess if it's educational, that's the same thing.
OK. I'll do it! I'll work for you!

Higsby:
Really? Oh, thank you! Ahuh-choo! Ahuh-choo! Now for your first job, huh! The
other day, I purchased some equipment. I promised I'd pick it up today. I'd
like you to go pick it up for me, huh? The merchant will be waiting in ACDC
Station. Go get my equipment from him and bring it back here, huh?

Lan:
Roger that! I'll get going right away, huh!

MegaMan:
Boy, Lan, you really seem to be getting into this! I guess I should, too.
Let's go, huh?

Lan:
Yeah...huh!

Higsby:
Okay, okay, no need to mimic me, huh? Go on, now, huh? I'm counting on you!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

Yai's email:
"New shortcut!" -  I can't believe Dex made a shortcut to ACDC Square! Just
to show him, I made a shortcut to the SciLab Square! It's on my homepage! Feel
free to use it anytime! Mine is much better than Dex's! I opened the gate
already, so come whenever!

(Lan goes to ACDC Statoin and talks to the Merchant)

Man:
You're Higsby? You're younger than I thought! Well, anyway about that
"OrderSys" you needed... Sorry! Actually, I put it in my briefcase... And
forgot the case at an inn that I stayed at yesterday! I don't suppose you
could do me a favor and go get it?

(Lan goes to Yoka Inn and gets the bag)

Game Narrator:
There's something under the desk. Lan got: "Bag"!!

Lan:
This is the bag that salesman was talking about! Back to ACDC station!

(Lan goes back to the merchant)

Man:
Thank you, Higsby! Your kindness is why your shop does well! Thank you so
much! Well, here's the product you ordered! I look forward to doing more
business with you!

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "OrderSys"!!

Man:
I look forward to getting your orders! Heh, heh, heh!

(Lan goes back to Higsby)

Higsby:
Oh! Good to see you back, huh! This "OrderSys" lets me oreder all kinds of
chips, huh! OK, lets get to the next job, huh! I have a bad buyer who won't
pay for his chips, huh! I heard that he's in ACDC area 1 right now, huh. Find
that Navi and bring me the 1000 Zenny he owes me! Please do anything you need
to get the money, huh!

(MegaMan and Lan find the navi)

Navi:
What's your problem, punk? Huh!? Higsby!? He says he wants his money!? I'm not
paying for that useless chip!! Here! Give him a virus instead! Haaaa!!

(MegaMan deletes the virus the navi sends at him)

Navi:
Aaaah! I lost! I don't believe it! OK, OK! I suppose you want me to pay! Here,
take it! I was sure you wouldn't have a chance, but...

Game Narrator: MegaMan got: "1000 Zenny"!

(MegaMan jacks out and Lan heads back to Higsby's)

Higsby:
Well, let's see... Yep, 1000 Zennys, huh! All right! Lan, you'd make a pretty
good chip dealer, huh! OK, on to the next job, huh? Take this chip to a red
navi in SciLab area 2, huh? She's not the nicest Navi, but she is a client, so
be nice!

(MegaMan jacks in and finds the navi)

Navi:
So you're Higsby. You have that chip I ordered? The luxury BattleChip
"Ratton1 C"!
I got it. It's well worth the 100000 Zennys! Let me tell you a secret to show
my appreciation. "Chips can be bought with money." If you have the money, that
is! Ha ha ha ha!

(MegaMan jacks out and goes back to Higsby)

Higsby:
Thank you Lan! I knew you'd do a great job, huh! Let me reward you for your
trouble, Huh? ... Here you go! You're a lifesaver! You know, I studied
programming on my trip. I learned some basic programming skills, so if you
ever need help, just let me know, huh?

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You've got mail! It's from DNN. It says, "The final N1 Grand Prix
preliminary will be held today. The location of the event is a secret. You
must all find it by yourselves. We will provide a clue. 'Enemy of viruses;
Cyber square; Yellow'. We look forward to your arriving as soon as possible."!

Lan:
The final preliminary?! That means if we pass this, we'll be in the N1 Grand
Prix!

MegaMan: I'll bet this final preliminary isn't going to be easy! Let's
go look for it, Lan!

Lan:
Of course! We've got to get going, Higsby!

Higsby:
I understand. Good luck, huh!

(Lan eventually finds the DNN navi)

DNN Navi:
Hello, is that chip you have there a "LongSwrd E"? Where did you find it!? Is
that... my chip...? Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to imply that you stole it! I'm
the one who lost her chip after all! I'm the one who has to pay the price, no
matter how high... I can't just impose on complete strangers... Still, he
looks like a really nice guy... Maybe he'll help? Excuse me! The blue Navi
there! Would you mind trading me that "LongSwrd E"? I'll give you a... You can
have this CYokaPas here, what a deal!

(MegaMan gives her "LongSwrd E"

DNN Navi:
Wow! What a gentleman! Now she won't yell at me! Here, the item I promised
you! You took good care of it, I see.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "CYokaPas"!!

DNN Navi:
.. So, how'd  you like my acting? Were you moved? Use that ticket and go to
Yoka Square to find what you need!

(MegaMan goes to Yoka Square and talks to the N1 navi)

Navi:
Hello there! So you're MegaMan! We've been waiting! Yoka Square is the site of
the N1's final preliminary! How'd you like the acting of the girl in SciLab
Square? Let's see that same spirit from you, MegaMan! All right, time for your
last mission! Yay! Clap clap clap! ... Yay! (Come on everyone, applaud!)

MegaMan:
Uh... Yaaaay!!

Navi:
Excuse me...

Game Narrator:
(click)  (click ...)

MegaMan:
Hey! What're you doing!?

Navi:
Your folder was changed for the preliminary! You must use the PreFoldr until
the preliminary ends!

MegaMan:
What the!? I can't switch my folder!? Hey, I didn't know about this!

Navi:
Great job! What a reaction! You could have your own show! All right, people! I
want ENERGY! Got it? Places, please! Time for mission #1! This is reality TV!
"When Viruses Attack"!! Annnnd... ACTION!! The rules are simple! There are
five people in the real world, dressed like Navis! Beat'em all in NetBattles!
Then high-tail it back here when you finish! Good luck!

(MegaMan jacks out and Lan looks for the navis in the real world)

Real Navi 1:
Huff, huff... This suit is so hot... I hope this ends soon. I didn't get a job
at DNN for this! What is that stupid producer thinking? Ooops! Please don't say
you're in the N1...?

Lan:
.. Yup.

Real Navi 1:
Did you hear what I was just saying?

Lan:
..Yup.

Real Navi 1:
Ah, ha ha! Man, do I love this job!! C'mon, kid! Let's battle!!

(Lan wins and goes on)

Real Navi 2:
So, you're in the N1 preliminaries! I'm surprised you managed to find me!!
And now... Battle me!!

(Lan wins and goes on)

Real Navi 3:
You're a participant in the N1, right? Darn! I didn't think anyone would find
me here! Well, let's get started, shall we?

(Lan wins and goes on)

Real Navi 4:
Well, well! Look what the cat dragged in! Yeah, you found me. But that doesn't
mean nothin'! Let's see if you got what it takes to beat me, punk!

(Lan wins and goes on)

Real Navi 5:
Hey! I'm Navvy, the zoo mascot!

Lan:
Hmmm...
Real Navi 5:
Actually, I have nothing to do with the N1...! Heh, heh... Bee-Boop!

Lan:
..... You sure seem to be with the N1!

Real Navi 5:
What!? What makes you say that? There's no proof!

Lan:
Uh, it says "DNN" on your costume.

Real Navi 5:
No way! I was sure I got rid of that!! Uh-oh!

Lan:
Ha ha! Gotcha!!

Real Navi 5:
You tricked me!! Now that you know my true identity... I'll have to delete
you!

(Lan wins and goes back to Yoka Square)

Navi:
You beat them all! Excellent work! OK, time for mission #2!! Mission #2 is a
survival battle! If you can survive all three battles, you'll pass the
preliminaries! That means, you'll be able to compete in the N1 Grand Prix! Win
or lose, be sure to perform fo the cameras, OK?

(MegaMan deletes all of the viruses)

Navi:
Congradulations! You've cleared the final preliminary!

MegaMan:
We did it, Lan!

Lan:
Yeah! At this rate, we're going to win the N1 Grand Prix!

[GutsMan, Roll, and Glyde all come up to MegaMan)

GutsMan:
Yee-haw! I cleared the preliminary, too! Let's kick butt at the Grand Prix
together! Yee-haw!

Glyde:
I will also partake in the N1 Grand Prix. Good luck.

Roll:
Um... I lost the final survival battle. Everyone, please do your best for Mayl
and me as well!

MegaMan:
You got it! We're going for the trophy! Right, everyone?

GutsMan:
Of course we are! Yeeee-haaaawwww!!

Glyde:
I shall do my best.

(ProtoMan comes in)

ProtoMan:
You don't sound like rivals talking before a tournament.

MegaMan:
ProtoMan!

Chaud:
For people who will be fighting each other, you seem so relaxed.

Lan:
Chaud! You'll be in the N1 Grand Prix, too!? If so, there's no way you're
beating us!

Chaud:
Ha! You pathetic kids don't stand a chance! ProtoMan and I have been training
for the past month, polishing our skills! We're ready for anything!

MegaMan:
Don't tell me you're the one who cleared the final preliminary in record time!

ProtoMan:
Of course! Let me give you some advice, MegaMan. If you really want to win,
you'd better get serious. This wishy-washy stuff about your friends will get
you deleted.

Chaud:
OK. That's enough mingling with the enemy. We have a mission to attend. Let's
go ProtoMan!

ProtoMan:
Yes, sir!

(ProtoMan leaves)

GutsMan:
Ah hate that guy! Oh! Dex! You've got mail from Chisao! It's about tomorrow's
trip to the amusement park!

Dex:
Oh, yeah! Hey, guys, I gotta go!

Glyde:
Miss Yai. We must make preparations for the opera tomorrow. It would be wise
to make haste.

Yai:
Oh, yeah! We're going to the opera tomorrow. Very well. Good night everyone!

Mayl:
Hey, Lan, are you free tomorrow? The Bubble Wash we ordered is coming, and I
could use a hand installing it.

Lan:
Sure, I guess so!

Mayl:
It's set, then! Come to my house tomorrow!

MegaMan:
Lan, why don't we jack out as well?

(MegaMan jacks out and Lan goes home and goes to bed)

MegaMan:
Good night, Lan!

(The screen shows Lan in his room)

Lan:
I've been waiting all week for today! Yippee! No school! So what's the plan,
MegaMan?

MegaMan:
What's the plan? Our plan is to go help Mayl.

Lan:
Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

MegaMan:
Mayl's probably waiting for us.

Game Narrator:
Beep Beep Beep

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! Maybe it's from Mayl? Hey, it's from dad! It says, "Lan, I
have to go away overseas for 3 days on a business trip. Since I won't be home,
can you look after mom? Thanks!"

Lan:
Poor dad. Saturday's finally here and he can't even take off.

MegaMan:
Oh well. His work is really important. C'mon, let's get over to Mayl's!

(Lan goes over to Mayl's house)

Lan:
'Morning, Mayl!

Mayl:
Hi Lan! Nice to see you!

Ms. Mari:
Why, good morning Lan!

Lan:
What's Ms. Mari doing here!?

Ms. Mari:
I came to see the BubbleWash that Mayl bought. I've been thinking about buying
one myself. It's a dishwasher, but you can connect it to the Net and operate
it while you're away from home!

Mayl:
he only thing is, it hasn't arrived yet. They seem to be a little late.

Higsby:
Good morning, huh!

Mayl:
Oh no, Higsby's here already! Please, come in!

Higsby:
Thank you, huh! Huh! if it isn't Ms. Mari! Fancy running into you here, huh!

Lan:
Don't tell me you've come to see that bubble-thing too?

Higsby:
Well looky here, it's Lan!  Huh!

Lan:
What, you just noticed me now?!

Higsby:
Huh! Now then, Mayl. You do remember our little deal, huh?

Mayl:
Um, yeah, of course...

Ms.Mari:
What's this about a deal?

Higsby:
Mayl said she'd work part-time to pay me back for a chip, huh!

Mayl:
Um, today's a little bad for me. How about...

Higsby:
No! You've gotta work now! Huh!! Normally I'm mild-mannered, but not about
chips! Huh!!

Mayl:
Oh no, what am I going to do? I know! Hey Lan, can you work for Higsby in
place of me?

Lan:
Huh? Me? Why do I have to work?!

Higsby:
Huh! I don't mind so long as someone works for me.

Lan:
Ms. Mari! Are you hearing this? Help me out here!

Ms. Mari:
Well, the BubbleWash will be arriving soon. Hmm... I don't think it's such a
bad idea. Why not help Mayl out?

Lan:
Arrrrrgh! Oh, all right, I give up!

Mayl:
Thank you, Lan! I'll fix you up something good to eat later. Good luck!

Higsby:
Then it's settled! Lan will work for me! Huh! Your task is simple! Go get a
"Wind *"! Once you have it, bring it to me, huh?

Lan:
A "Wind *"? Aw, man. Do I have to?

MegaMan:
Lan, we agreed to help out, so let's not complain!

Lan:
Yeah, yeah.

(Lan gets a "Wind *" and returns to Higsby)

Higsby:
Oh! You got it, huh! Let me just check this out, huh... Yep, this is it, huh!

Mayl:
Thank you so much, Lan! Hold on, I'll serve some tea.

Game Narrator:
Ding-Dong!

Mayl:
Maybe that's the BubbleWash! If it is, help me! OK, Lan?

Lan:
I'm starting to feel like your slave.

(Lan installs the BubbleWah)

Lan: There, it's all set up and ready to go! That's strange... It's connected
to the Net, but you can't jack into it.

Mayl:
That's probably just so water doesn't get into the circuits.

Ms. Mari:
Well then. How about some tea, everyone?

(Everyone drinks tea)

Higsby:
Wowowow! That was some good tea! Yes-huh!

Lan:
Yeah, thanks Mayl!


Mayl:
Sure! Say, how about we try out the BubbleWash?

Ms. Mari:
What a splendid idea, Mayl!

Higsby:
You two sure seem excited, huh! Like me when I get a rare chip. Huh!

Lan:
It's just a dishwasher. What's the big deal?

MegaMan:
Lan, you know how when you get a new chip? You want to try it, right? This is
the same thing!

Higsby:
Exactly! Huh!

Lan:
Whatever...

Mayl:
Eeeeeek!!

Lan
Mayl!

Higsby:
The kitchen! Let's go! Huh!

(Lan and Higsby go to the kitchen to find Mayl and Ms. Mari trapped in a
bubble)

Lan:
What happened?!

Mayl:
When I started the BubbleWash, the bubbles trapped us!

Ms. Mari:
What kind of bubbles are these? They don't break!

Higsby:
Step aside! Huh! I studied Yum-Fu in Yumland! I've been waiting for this! I'll
chop that bubble apart! HUH-YUUUUM!

Game Narrator: Beep Beep Beep!

Roll:
Mayl! You got mail! It says "Thank you for purchasing WWW's BubbleWash, blub
blub. The machine's bubbles will change color from blue to yellow to red, blub
blub. After they turn red, they'll BLU-BANG! Lord Wily will cleanse the
Network society he so hates, blub blub!" Oh, my!

Higsby:
They're going to explode? Huh?!

Mayl:
They said the WWW! What are we going to do, Lan?!

Ms. Mari:
No! I'm too young to die! I'm not even married yet!

MegaMan:
The WWW again?! We can't just let them get away with attacking innocent
people! Lan, the BubbleWash is connected to the Net, right? Then the one
causing the bubbles may be there, too! C'mon! Let's go find him!

Lan:
All right! When we find him, I'm going to make him pay! Higsby! Keep an eye on
these two! Mayl! Ms. Mari! Hang in there! We'll get you out!

Higsby:
If you have any trouble, contact me immediately! Huh! I'll be watching after
Ms. Mari and Mayl! Huh!

(Lan jacks into the net and goes to gets outside of Mayl's hompage and sees
BubbleMan)

BubbleMan:
Blu-blub, Blublublub! Come forth bubbles, Blub blub blub! People would be so
shocked if they knew I planned all this, blu-blub! Lord Wily would reward me
blub-time! Everyone makes fun of me because I don't have an operator. I'll
blub all those filthy Navis! Blublublub!

(MegaMan comes throught the warp zone)

MegaMan:
You're the WWW Navi?!

BubbleMan:
Blub! What are you doing scaring me like that, blub blub?! Don't blub into my
business. Bubbly Dance, blublublub!

MegaMan:
So you're the one who sent out the bubbles! Dissolve them right this instant!

BubbleMan:
Why would I do that, blub blub? Blub... I know you, blub! You're MegaMan! If I
delete you, Lord Wily will really reward me, blub blub!

Lan:
He wants to fight?! MegaMan! Are you ready for battle?!

BubbleMan:
Blub! This isn't the proper place to fight. It wouldn't do if an Official
came...
Come on BubbleMan, think! Blub! Your back's unguarded! Blub him, Bubble
Brigade!

(MegaMan turns around)

BubbleMan:
Blublublub! He fell for it! Now's my chance! Blube blub blub!

(BubbleMan runs off)

MegaMan:
Ach! I fell for it!

Lan:
Go get him, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Roger! But he vanished without a.... A trail! It looks like he's dropping
bubbles as he goes! I'm on him!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!

Mayl's email:
"Use this" - Lan, I'm sorry I got you involved in all of that... But you and
MegaMan are the only ones that I can rely on! I'll be waiting for you two!
Here, use this!

Game Narrator: Lan got a "MaylCode" and "RollV2 R"!!

(Lan and MegaMan follow BubbleMan to a narrow pathway)

BubbleMan:
Blub! You've trailed me all this way?! Blublub! You can't cross this bridge
like that! I'm light as foam! That's why I could, blub blub! Blublublub!
C'mon! I dare you to come over and get me!

MegaMan:
Lan! This bridge is too narrow for me to cross!

Lan:
While we're fooling around here, Mayl and Ms. Mari are going to be blown to
bits! What should we do?!

MegaMan:
I have an idea! Do you remember class yesterday?

Lan:
Class yesterday...? Um... That's it! Compression!

MegaMan:
Yeah! If you compress my data and shrink me, I'll be able to pass over this
bridge, no prob!

Lan:
But where can we get a compression program?

MegaMan:
Didn't Ms. Mari say there was some place that compresses data everyday? Where
was that?

BubbleMan:
Blub blub! What are you blubbing about? If you dont' hurty, my bubble bomb's
gonna blub-blow! Blublublub!

(BubbleMan runs off again)

MegaMan:
Lan, let's hurry up and find a compression program!

Lan:
I guess that's our only chance. Let's go!

(MegaMan jacks out and goes to Dad's lab)

Lab Tech:
Hm? Compress a Navi? Sorry, I'm busy with these bubbles! We do have some
"PresData" in that computer, though!

(MegaMan goes into computer and talks to Program)

Program:
Ah! An intruder! Get him!!

(MegaMan deletes the viruses)

Program:
I now know you are an acquaintance of Dr. Hikari. I apologize for my rudeness.
Please take this.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "PresData"!!

MegaMan:
Thanks! Now all you have to do is insert this in my Navi Customizer and you
can compress me, Lan!

Program:
If you install this in your Navi Customizer, you will become able to be
compressed. However, this is not compatible with your Navi Customizer. The
technology in your Navi Customizer is too advanced.

MegaMan:
What? We can't install this?

Program:
It may be possible to install it if you have someone modify it for your Navi
Customizer. However, very few people, if any, have the ability to perform such
modifications.

Lan:
It figures dad's out of town at a time like this! Who should we ask to modify
this? We don't have time to waste! Let's hurry up and find someone who can
program!

MegaMan:
I've got it, Lan! Didn't somebody we know say they studied programming?

(Lan jacks out and goes to Higsby)

Lan:
Higsby! Can you modify this for our Navi Customizer?

Game Narrator:
Lan gave "PresData" and "PET"!!

Higsby:
A Navi Customizer? Huh. Never heard of that before. If the program only needs
minor modifications, maybe I could, huh...

MegaMan:
Well?

Higsby:
Huh! I'm sorry, but this needs more advanced skills than I have. Huh!

Lan:
Oh no! This can't be happening!

MegaMan:
There's no time to lose hope, Lan! Let's go find someone who can make the
modifications! Mayl & Ms. Mari could die!

(Lan exits and runs into a Man)

Lan:
Whoa!

Man:
Oh, watch your step. I was just passing by when I heard all this commotion. Is
something the matter?

Lan:
If I don't get "PresData" modified and compress my Navi, my friends will be in
serious trouble! The modifications can't be made without special programming,
though!

Man:
Hmm. I know a thing or two about programming. Here, let me have a look.

Game Narrator: Lan gave "PresData" and "PET"!!

Man:
I'll just take a look inside this PET here... Hm. The person who made this
Navi Customizer must be quite an engineer. Hmm. Let's see now. Aha! This
"PresData" needs to be made to fit this NaviCust. You're right. This can't be
done with normal techniques. Give me a minute, here.

Game Narrator:
*Clink* *Clank* Beep Beep!... Beep Beep Beep!... Ka-chunk! Ping!

Man:
There we go. Now you can install the "PresData" in the Navi Customizer. Well
then, you'd best be off to help your friends!

Game Narrator:
Lan got his "Press" and "PET" back!!

Lan:
Thank you, sir!

MegaMan:
Did you see that, Lan?! That guy's programming skills were incredible! He may
be as good as your dad! Maybe even better! Just who was that guy?

Lan:
Yeah! I'll ask dad next time I see him. Alright, MegaMan! Let's go!

(MegaMan jacks in and goes back to the narrow path)

MegaMan:
Lan! Install the "Press" program with the NaviCust!

(Lan installs the program and MegaMan goes across the path and finds BubblMan)

MegaMan:
I have you now! It's time for you to dissolve those bubbles!

BubbleMan:
You can't beat me that easily, blub! Bla bla bla blah! Bubble Door!!

(BubbleMan creates a Bubble infront of him blocking MegaMan's path)

Lan:
MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Roger! MegaBuster!!

(MegaMan fires but nothing happens)

MegaMan:
My MegaBuster isn't working!

BubbleMan:
Blublublublub! Your efforts are useless! It'll take more than that to blust
my Bubble Door, blub blub! Bubble Brigade! Blub over here!

(Evil navis come in)

Navi 1:
You called, Master BubbleMan? Oh! Is that MegaMan?

Navi 2:
Whoa! Wow! Uh, we're not going to be fighting him, are we?

BubbleMan: For blub's sake! Can't you guys sound tougher? Strike some fear in
people? Oh, blub it. Take this "Needle" and run far away so MegaMan can't
catch you, blub blub!

Navi 1:
Oh. Okey-dokey. So we should run away?

Navi 3:
We're good at that! You can trust us, sir!

BubbleMan:
Just GO already! I'll delete MegaMan! I just need you to wear him down!

Navi 1:
Okey-dokey! C'mon guys. Up, up and... Waaaaaait a minute. Where should we go?

Navi 2:
Well, how about ACDC 2?

Navi 3:
There are a couple good places to hide there, right?

Navi 1:
That's sounds just peachy to me. Away we goooo!

(The three navis run off)

BubbleMan:
Oh, blub! The trouble those suds put me through...! Anyway, MegaMan! My
sudlings escaped with a "Needle" that can break this Bubble Door. If you get
it from them, I'll take you on!

MegaMan:
Lan!

Lan:
Gotcha! Those guys went to ACDC 2! Let's go!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

Higsby's email:
"Ready, huh!!" - Lan, huh-hurry! The bubble has already turned yellow, huh! If
you don't hurry, it will explode, huh!!

(MegaMan finds the evil navis in ACDC 2)

Navi 1:
Oop! You caught me! I'll beat you to a pulp! Bring it on!

(MegaMan wins the battle and...)

MegaMan:
What the...!?

Lan:
Could this be a style change!?

Game Narrator:
..beep beep beep...

Dad:
It looks like you've made a style change! That would be the...
(Style Name) Style!

Lan:
(Style Name)...

MegaMan:
Style?

Dad:
A (Element) style mastered by using (Attack type)! This style will
(description of style.) Your PowerAttack will also become a (based on style)!
But you'll take double damage from (the counter element)-based attacks!

Lan:
Pretty cool, huh MegaMan!? [Style Name] Style!

MegaMan:
Yeah! (Then something about the style)

Dad:
Do you want to work more on this style, or find another?

(Lan keeps the style he earned)

Dad:
If you keep using this style, it will level up soon!

(MegaMan turns to the evil navis)

Navi 2:
Huh? What is this guy?! He just changed shape!

Navi 3:
He looks even stronger! We don't stand a chance!

Navi 2:
Oh no! We're dead data!

MegaMan:
Alright, hand over the "Needle"!

Navi 1:
We're not handing anything over! C'mon guys! Let's run!

Navi 2:
Run? Run where?

Navi 1:
How about to SciLab 1?

Navi 2:
Sounds spiffy! Allrighty then! Let's go!

MegaMan:
Hey! Wait! Let's go after them, Lan! To SciLab 1!

(MegaMan finds them again)

Navi 2:
You found me again! You really gotta put your all into this! MegaMan! Here I
come!!!

(MegaMan wins again)

Navi 2:
Darn! Beat us again! This guy's good!

MegaMan:
Now, then, give me the "Needle"!

Navi 3:
The Imperial Bubble Brigade is not defeated so easily! We're the fastest
retreaters in the WWW!

Navi 2:
We're running again?

Navi 1:
Of course, silly! That's why the WWW let us join!

Navi 2:
So where to next?

Navi 1:
Yoka 1!

Navi 2:
Okey-dokey! Let's gooooo!

MegaMan:
They really are good at running away!

Lan:
Go get them, MegaMan! Yoka 1!

(MegaMan finds them again but they are talking to BubbleMan)

BubbleMan:
Blub? What are you doing back here? Oh blub! He beat you, didn't he? You suds
are beyond useless!

Navi 1:
No sir!

Navi 2:
We're not weak! He's just too strong!

BubbleMan:
Don't blow bubbles in my face! Now hurry up and scram! If MegaMan comes, my
plan to tire him won't blubby work!

MegaMan:
You won't escape me now!

(MegaMan comes in)

BubbleMan:
What are you doing? Blub him!!

Navi 1:
Aw, man! He doesn't even care about how we feel. This guy's scary! OK guys,
let's get him! Hi-hooooo!

(MegaMan wins yet again)

Navi 1:
We give up! You win! We're good at running, but terrible at fighting! Here.
This is what you want, right?

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "Needle"!!

Navi 1:
So we're OK now, right? No hard feelings? Right? Right? Well then, we'd better
get going!

MegaMan:
Boy, there really are good at running away!

Lan:
Alright MegaMan, now for BubbleMan!

(MegaMan pops the bubble)

MegaMan:
Now we've really got you, BubbleMan!

BubbleMan:
My sudlings lost so soon? Those blundering blubs! Even so, they must have
damaged you. Blub blub, now's my chance! I'm going to win this battle, and pay
back all those who mocked me! Bla-blublublublub!

Game Narrator:
Briiiinnng!

MegaMan:
Lan, a phone call! It's Higsby!

Higsby:
Lan! The bubbles have turned red, huh! They're going to explode! Hurry! Huh!!

BubbleMan:
Blub! It's already time for my bubbles to burst, blublub! Time's run out,
Megaman. You're too late! Blablublublub!

MegaMan:
Lan! It's now or never!

Lan:
Right! Let's do this, MegaMan! Battle routine, set!!

MegaMan:
Execute!

BubbleMan:
Blubbbbb!

(MegaMan wins the battle)

BubbleMan:
Nooooo!!! Please, don't delete me, blublub! I realize I can't beat you! Blub!
Don't bully me anymore!

Higsby:
Lan! The Bubbles have started blinking! Huh!

MegaMan:
Dissolve those bubbles in the real world at once!

BubbleMan:
Okay! I'll delete them! Blub!

Higsby:
Oh noooooo! They're going to blow, huh!

BubbleMan:
In just a moment...They'll all be gone! Blub blub... Now! I'm outta here! Blow
up, my beautiful bubbles!

(BubbleMan is about to jump away but ProtoMan comes in and deletes him)

BubbleMan:
Blub! Blub blu...!!!

(BubbleMan blows up)

MegaMan:
ProtoMan!

ProtoMan:
Why didn't you end it right away? I told you, being wishy-washy will be the
end of you someday!

Chaud:
You sure act wishy-washy, Lan!

Lan:
What?

Chaud:
Your moment of hesitation endangered thousands of people!

Lan:
!!

MegaMan:
........

Higsby:
Lan! Lan! The bubbles have dissolved, huh! Everyone's safe! Hurry back here,
huh? Lan! Can you hear me, huh?

Chaud:
If you can't finish off WWW lowlifes like these, you should hang it up! Come
on, ProtoMan! Let's go!

ProtoMan:
Yes, sir!

(ProtoMan leaves)

Lan:
........

MegaMan:
........ Lan. Let's get back to Mayl's.

(Lan goes back to Mayls)

Lan:
Are you two okay?

Mayl:
Yeah, we're fine!

Ms. Mari:
I was a little worried for a moment there! We owe you our lives, Lan!

Higsby:
Great work, Lan! Huh!

Mayl:
Thanks Lan!

Ms. Mari:
Thank you, Lan!

Lan:
Uh, sure...

Higsby:
What's the matter? You look kinda glum, huh?

Lan:
No, I'm happy, really! I mean, everyone's safe!

Higsby:
Now that this is over, I'd better get back to my shop.

(Higsby leaves)

Ms. Mari:
I'm going home now, too. I don't think I'll be purchasing a BubbleWash!
Goodbye, Mayl. I'm going to turn in early today.

(Ms. Mari leaves)

Lan:
I should be going now, too. You must be tired, Mayl. You should get some rest.

Mayl:
Lan. Thanks for saving me. I never doubted you. Not for a moment!

Lan:
Cut it out, Mayl! Don't look at me that way! Alright then, I'll see you
tomorrow!

(Lan leaves)

MegaMan:
Lan. Are you still thinking about what Chaud said?

Lan:
Yeah. What he said was true. My moment of hesitation could have cost the lives
of thousands. But I can't be so cold-hearted.

MegaMan:
What are you saying? You don't need to change at all! Chaud is Chaud, and
we're is! There's no need to be who we aren't! Now let's go home and get some
sleep. I'm beat!

(Lan goes home and goes to bed)

MegaMan:
Good night, Lan!

Chaud:
........

(His dad comes up to him)

Chaud's Dad:
Well, what is it?

Chaud:
Um......... I'm going to win tomorrow! I promise!

Chaud's Dad:
What? You bothered me just to say that? Idiot. I'm leaving...

Chaud:
No, really, dad! I won't let anyone beat me! I'm going to be number one! So
please... Come out to watch.

Chaud's Dad:
Ha! I always tell you: "Victory is all! and "Elites don't tolerate failure"
You should be training for tomorrow rather than wasting you time here.

Chaud: .........

(The screen shows Lan in his room)

Game Narrator: Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! Hey, it's a notice from DNN about the N1 Grand Prix! It
says, "The much-anticipated N1 Grand Prix will be held tomorrow at DNN on
Beach Street. In preparation for the N1, we will be recording a special
program in Beach Square on the Net today! Everyone is invited to come, so feel
free to bring your friends!"

Lan:
Cool! Let's see if Dex and the others want to come, too!

MegaMan:
Alright. I'll e-mail everyone. Jack me into the Net, Lan!

(MegaMan looks for his friends and finds Roll)

Roll:
Hey, MegaMan. What's up? ... The TV station? Sorry, I can't. I'm supposed to
go with Mayl to buy a CD today. But thanks anyway. Invite me again another
time!

(MegaMan finds Glyde)

Glyde:
Hello. And welcome. ...I see, so you're making a TV show. Unfortunately, today
is Yai's study day. So even if she wanted to go, she wouldn't be allowed. It's
her father's rule.

(MegaMan goes to look for GutsMan but can't find him)

Program:
Welcome to this homepage! I'm the caretaker program. GutsMan is out at the
moment. He's taking part in the Endurance Contest at Yoka.

(MegaMan finds GutsMan)

GutsMan:
Huh? MegaMan, we're going to the TV station? Yee-haw! I'm in a battle that I
don't wanna lose now, so go on ahead! I'll be right there! Yee-haw!

(Lan gets and email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! DNN email: "C-Beach Pass" - We forgot to attach an
important thing to our last mail. Please use this to get to Beach Square.

Game Narrator: Lan got: "CBeacPas"!!

(MegaMan goes to Beach and finds a DNN navi)

DNN Navi:
Oh, you're one of the contestants in the Grand Prix, right? We'll interview
you later, so please wait over there.

(MegaMan waits and GutsMan joins him)

Producer Navi:
OK! We're on in... 5...4...3...2...1...

DNN Navi:
Hello everyone! This week's "My Neighbor, My NetBattler" will focus on the N1
Grand Prix! We will be showing you what's going on behind the scenes,
beginning with interviews with actual N1 contestants! Welcome, contestants!
Please tell us your name, and give the audience a brief remark. Let's start
with the blue Navi!

MegaMan:
Uh, er...my name is MegaMan. I'm going to try my best to win tomorrow.

DNN Navi:
Thank you very much, and good luck! Now let's hear from the large Navi next
to MegaMan.

GutsMan:
I-I-I-I-I'm... G-G-G-Gu-G-Gu-Guts...G-GutsM-Man! T-t-tomorrow... I-I'm g-go-
gon-na... G-G-Guts...

(Producer jumps in)

Producer:
Oh no! This just in! Frenzied fans have gotten out of control in the Beach
Area! If we can get an on-site report, it'll be a scoop!

DNN Navi:
I bet we might even get an Employee Award for covering something like this!
Quick! Let's go!

GutsMan:
Hold your horses! My interview isn't over yet! Hold up! GutsMan's going too!
Yee-haaw!

(GutsMan follows)

MegaMan:
Lan! GutsMan took off after the TV crew! They said the NetBattle fans are out
of control! I'm a little worried.

Lan:
Now what? All right, MegaMan, let's go check it out.

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan goes to Beach 1)

DNN Navi:
Eeeeeeeeek!

MegaMan:
Lan! I heard a girl scream!

Game Narrator:
Briiinnng!

MegaMan:
Lan, a phone call from Dex!

Dex:
Lan! Something bad's going down!

Lan:
What's happening?!

Dex:
Those rioting Navis surrounded GutsMan! He's trapped!

Lan:
Where exactly is he?

Dex:
Beach 1, by the... Lookout! GutsMan!

Game Narrator:
Thunk! Boop! Boop! Boop!

MegaMan:
Dex was cut off! What's going on around GutsMan!? Dex said Beach 1, right? He
must be near here!

Lan:
C'mon, MegaMan! Let's find GutsMan and the TV crew!

(A Netopian navi is in the way)

Navi: Go!! Go!! Go!! Hey, kid! You ARE rooting for Netopia in the N1, right!?
..What? You're not? Then, take this!!!

(MegaMan deletes him, then runs into another)

Navi:
Go, go Netopia! Netopia rules at NetBattling! What the? Are you a fan of
Electopia or something!?

(MegaMan deletes him, then runs into another)

Navi:
You're looking for a Navi from Electopia? Our boss got him! And you're next!

(MegaMan deletes him, then runs into GutsMan)

MegaMan:
GutsMan! Hey you!! Let those Navis go!

Navi:
Well what have we here? You're a brave little boy! And what'll you do if we
don't? Cry?

MegaMan:
If you don't, you'll have to face me!

Navi:
Ah-hahahaha! Are you serious? Be a good little boy and jack out now, for your
own sake. It's three-on-one, kid. You haven't got a chance.

ProtoMan:
Who doesn't have a chance?

(ProtoMan comes in and destorys two of the Navis)

Navis:
We've...been...had...

MegaMan:
ProtoMan!

Navi:
ProtoMan? That ace NetBattler Chaud's Navi? He'll slaughter me! I'm outta
here!

(The navi jacks out)

MegaMan:
ProtoMan...

Producer:
Extraordinary! No wonder you're they're all saying you'll win tomorrow's Grand
Prix! Thank you for saving us! Would you mind if we interviewed you?

ProtoMan:
Sorry. I don't have the time.

(ProtoMan jacks out)

GutsMan:
How rude, refusin' to be interviewed like that!

DNN Navi:
..He's so dreamy!

GutsMan:
Hey, is it time for my interview yet?

DNN Navi:
..Ohhh, ProtoMan!

GutsMan:
Who wants to listen to this? I'm jackin' out!

(GutsMan jacks out)

MegaMan:
Hey, Lan. Since everyone's safe, why don't we jack out early? Tomorrow's a big
day.

Lan:
Yeah. We'd better leave before something else happens. OK MegaMan, let's jack
out!

(MegaMan Jacks out)

(The screen goes to Wily's lab)

Wily:
That Official ace NetBattler Chaud and his Navi ProtoMan are starting to get
in the way of WWW's plans. I believe we'll have to eliminate them earlier
rather than later. How is our little plan coming along?

???:
It is proceeding smoothly, sir! Soon the entire world will fear the WWW.

Wily:
Take precautions not to end up like BubbleMan did.

???:
Mwahahaha! Please do not compare me to such an inferior Navi. I will deliver
you footage that will delight your eyes, Lord Wily! Chaud's public execution!

Wily:
I am counting on you. Delete it!

???:
Deleeeete it!

(The screen shows Lan's house)

Mom:
Lan! Are you up there, Lan?

Lan:
What?

Mom:
Just come down here!

(Lan goes down stairs)

Lan:
What's up, mom? Do you need something?

Mom:
Could you do me a favor? I'd like you to take this "DataDisk" to dad.

Lan:
Oh, OK! I'll do it right away.

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "DataDisk"!!

MegaMan:
You seem really happy, Lan. Oh yeah, you haven't told dad we'll be in the N1
yet! I bet he'll be surprised!

Lan:
See you later, mom!

Mom:
Be careful, Lan!

(Lan goes outside and gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

Mayl's email:
"New shortcut" - Lan, thank you for the other day. I just made a shortcut from
my homepage to Yoka Square! Please feel free to use it any time! I opened the
gate for you, too!

(Lan goes to SciLab)

Lab Tech:
Dr. Hikari is in a meeting with the Officials just now. A package for him?
I'd be glad to give it to him for you.

Game Narrator:
Lan gave: "DataDisk"!!

(Lan goes down stairs and runs into Dad and Chaud)

Dad:
Oh, hi there, Lan! You brought me my "DataDisk"? Thanks!

Lan:
Yeah, I gave it to the researcher upstairs. Hey, what's Chaud doing here?

Dad:
SciLab just held a joint meeting with the Officials to discuss how to handle
the influx of evil viruses. We just happened to run into each other there.

Lan:
Oh yeah! I'm going to be in the N1 Grand Prix tomorrow!

Dad:
Wow, the same Grand Prix that everyone in town's talking about? That's great!
Oh, but unfortunately I have a meeting tomorrow. It doesn't look like I can go
root for you. Sorry!

Lan:
Yeah, I know. I mean, if I had told you earlier, you'd just work yourself sick
trying to make time to go, right?

Dad:
I'm sorry to make you worry so much about me, Lan. Here. I'll give you this to
makeup for me not being able to go. The N1 Grand Prix will be packed with
fierce battles, right? It wouldn't do if your PET broke again.

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "PET Case"!!

Dad:
If you put your PET in that, an elephant couldn't break it. Say, are you going
to be in the N1 Grand Prix too, Chaud?

Chaud:
Yes.

Dad:
Is one of your parents coming to cheer you on?

Chaud:
No. They won't be coming...

Dad:
Oh. Well, anyway, I wish you both the best of luck! Now then, I'd better get
back to work.

(Dad leaves)

Lan:
Chaud! I won't be losing tomorrow! Heh heh!

Chaud:
I told you before and I'll tell you again. You don't stand a chance. I'm going
to win. If I were you, I'd just concentrate on trying to pass the first round!

(Chaud leaves)

Lan:
What's his problem? Why's he always gotta be like that? He makes me so mad!

MegaMan:
Calm down, Lan. Chaud is probably just on edge because of tomorrow. Let's go
home and sleep early for the Grand Prix.

Lan:
Yeah, yeah, I know. I promise though, I'm not losing to him!

(Lan goes home a goes to bed)

MegaMan: Good night, Lan!

Game Narrator:
The morning of the N1 Grand Prix championship...

(Lan in his room)

MegaMan:
Lan! Wake up! It's morning!

Lan:
Oh... Uggh... Five more minutes... !! Today's the N1 Grand Prix! Gasp!! Whew!
I almost overslept!

MegaMan:
You can at least try waking yourself up on a day like today!

Lan:
It's not that. I was so excited I had trouble falling asleep.

MegaMan:
Yeah, well, anyway, let's go win that tournament!

Lan:
Yeah! That's why we're in this in the first place!

MegaMan:
Alright! C'mon, let's head over to the TV station where the Grand Prix will be
held!

Lan:
That TV station was on Beach Street, right? Look out world, here we come!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!! Dex's email: "N1 time!!" - Hey! Today is finally the N1
Grand Prix! I'm in Block A, so my battle is pretty early. I'll on ahead of you
to the TV station! See you at the finals!

(Lan goes to DNN building and talks to Tora)

Tora:
Aren't you a school kid? Are you in the N1?

Lan:
..Well, yes.

Tora:
Be good and go home before you get hurt.

Lan:
What? Where do you get off talking like that? You're not even that much older
than me!

Tora:
Whatever! I'm already thirteen years old! Little kids these days don't have
any manners at all!! I'm Tora from Swapopolis, and I'll teach you some!

(If MegaMan beats KingMan)

Tora:
Pfft! So maybe you've got some skills after all. Still, ya won't stand a
chance  when I play for real.

Lan:
You were just holding back? Wow. The competition here sure is deep.

Tora:
If ya face me later, don't expect me to show any mercy!

(If MegaMan loses to KingMan)

Tora:
Hmph! You're all hype. Go home now, before ya get hurt.

Lan:
He was so strong! So this is what N1 is like? Is everyone here this strong?

MegaMan:
What are you whimpering about? The real battle lies ahead!

Lan:
Hey! I'm gonna pay you back later!

Tora:
Say whatever you want, 'cause if we do end up battling each other, you're
gonna lose all over again. Hahahaha!

(Sunayama walks up)

Sunayama:
Welcome, N1 contestants! Sorry to keep you waiting! Now, then, proceed inside
through this entrance. Everyone in the stands is waiting for your arrival!

MegaMan:
This is it, Lan! Are you nervous?

Lan:
Not at all. I'm warmed up now. That's one more person I won't let win! C'mon,
let's  go! We're gonna beat them all!

MegaMan:
Right!

Sunayama:
There are 4 blocks from A to D, each with 8 contestants for a total of 32
people in all! Blocks A to C have already moved to the battle arena. The
battles will be broadcast like on this giant screen!

Lan:
The battle arena? This isn't where we'll battle?

Sunayama:
In order to battle here, you must first battle at the arena and advance to the

(The contestents leave)

Sunayama:
Now then, everyone! Enjoy the battles on this large-screen monitor!

(The screen goes black)

Game Narrator: An opening ceremony full of unexpected twists! A mysterious
island forebodingly called Hades Isle! You won't believe what awaits our
heroes on the ferry!

(The screen shows Lan, who gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!! Dad's email: "Good luck!!" - Lan, good luck today! I'll be
rooting for you on TV! The item I attached will increase your Memory Map size.
This will let you use more programs at once! That should let you customize
MegaMan in new ways. Good luck!

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "ExpMemry"

(Lan gets to the ferry)

Sunayama:
Hurry along and board the ferry. Pronto!

Lan:
Pronto?

Sunayama:
It means to do something right away. You know, time's a-wasting! Oh just hurry
up and board! Y' know, I can't stand amateurs!

Lan:
MegaMan, is "pronto" English?

MegaMan:
Actually, it's derived from the Spanish language. Anyway, come on! We don't
want to keep them waiting!

Lan:
OK!

Sunayama:
Now then. Anchors away! Until we reach Hades Isle, we need you all
unconscious. Good night!

Game Narrator: Psshhhhh!

Lan:
Whoa! Something's blowing out!

Yosh:
Ahhhh! That's sleeping gas!!

Tora:
Hey, hey! I don't care if this is for TV. It ain't kosher! Uh-uhhhghh... ...

MegaMan:
Lan! Lan! ... ... ... It's now use! They've all been put out!

Game Narrator:
Ka-Chink! KaChink! KaChink!

MegaMan:
Wh-who's there? What are you doing!? Lan! La...

Game Narrator:
What happened on the ferry? Are the contestants alright? The mystery of Hades
Isle will soon be revealed!!

(The ferry reached Hades Isle)

Sunayama:
Ok everyone! Rise and shine! We're at Hades Isle!

Lan:
..Uh... ... Uugh.

Sunayama:
Step to it, now! Everyone off the ferry! Welcome to Hades Isle! This is where
I make my exit! Proceed to the Demon's Maw, the cave off to my right. Inside
you will find Hades. Yes, you heard me right. Hades itself awaits you! Many
horrors lie inside, so if you want to turn back, now is the time!

Tora:
Yo! Like who's gonna turn back now before even one battle? We're ready to go,
so hurry up and bring it on!!

Koetsu:
Whoa, this place is creepy! No, no. I can't wig out now. Who's the man!? Me!!
You the man!? Oui!!

Jennifer:
Uh, Mr. Sunayama. No one's backing out, so can we go already?

Sunayama:
All right then, my brave warriors! Into the demon's den!

Game Narrator:
One by one, the contestants enter the Demon's Maw. What type of inferno awaits
them inside!?

Lan:
Whoa! This is Hades Isle!? What is this place?

Game Narrator:
This is Hades Mountain. It's said that those sentenced to eternal damnation
are skewered here. Now then! Cross the bridge and ente the ring. From here on,
my voice will be your guide! I'm DNN reporter Yasu, by the way. Please follow
my instructions closely.

Lan:
Uh, this is probably just a set they made for the show! Come on, let's cross
over!

Yasu:
Watch your step. If you fall, you may go to the real Hades! Of course you can
always turn back and drop out.

MegaMan:
Lan! Be careful!

Lan:
I-I'll be ok! Trust me!

(Lan gets across the bridge)

Yasu:
Now then, it's time for Round 1! These are the rules. First of all, while you
were asleep on the ferry, we made a couple minor adjustments to your PETs.
Some of you  may already have noticed, but your equiped folders were changed
to "HdesFlder" Everyone has the exact same folder equiped.

Koetsu:
I see. So if everyone has the same folder, this round will test our operation
skills!

Yasu:
Exactly so, Koetsu! You're quick on the uptake!

Banzu:
Hey! So, what are the rules for Round 1?

Yasu:
Everyone will jack in to the port in front of you. That machine is connected
to the Net. When you jack in, you will enter the Hades Isle area. There are
four "VictDatas" hidden there. The four people who find them will be able to
advance to the next round.

MegaMan:
This is like the first preliminary. We've got to hurry and find one of those
items. Only 4 people can advance!

Lan:
Half of us will be cut already? That's pretty severe! We have to pass this
round, MegaMan!

Yasu:
Now then, everyone Jack in!!

Lan:
Jack in!! MegaMan, Execute!!

Yasu:
Round one has begun! Only four people will remain! Who will be the ones to ad
vance!?

(Lan find one of the "VictData")

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "VictData"!!

Yasu:
Everyone stop! Please jack out! All four "VictDatas" have been obtained. Now
for  the results. The winners of Round 1 are... these contestants!

(The four loser fall through the floor)

Koetsu:
What...! I thought I'd pass for sure! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Lan:
You've got to be kidding! That's what happens to losers?

Yasu:
Exactly! Losers will be... eliminated. Only the strong will survive!

Tora:
Let the weak fall to their doom! It serves them right for entering N1 without
any skills!

Yasu:
Winners! Look over there! Cross the bridge, winners!

MegaMan:
Lan......

Lan:
"Losers will be eliminated"... Let's go MegaMan! We're gonna win, no matter
what!

MegaMan:
Yeah!

Game Narrator:
Losers are dropped mercilessly to the valley below. Those who passed the first
round under incredible, torturous pressure head toward a new nightmare. Little
do they know the horrid turn of events that awaits them!!

(Lan gets to the next part of the N1)

Yasu:
These doors lead further into the depths of Hades! Beyond each door lies an
unimaginable nightmare, and a winnder of C-Block! Each of you , choose the
door of your destiny. You may decide amongst yourselves who will enter which
door. Of course, I can always decide for you...

Lan:
Okay! I'll decide first! All the doors lead to some kind of nightmare anyway,
right? So I'll choose first!

Tora:
I'll go last. As the saying goes, "Good things come to those who wait". I
don't know if there are any good things in Hades, though.

Lan:
All right, then, I'm going!

Jennifer:
I don't mind. By all means, be my guest.

NetBattlerQ:
........

Yasu:
Stay tuned for the epic battle awaiting Lan!!

(If Lan chooses door 1)

Lan:
Whoa! It's burning hot! We have to battle here!?

Yasu:
Lan, this is called the "Blazing Inferno". Now then, proceed. Your opponent is
waiting.

Tamako:
Hey, kid! You're my opponent!? Pretty intense, huh!? Come on, let's have at
it!

(Lan goes up to the table)

Yasu:
Round 2 is an inferno battle!! Are you ready? Begin the battle on my mark!

Lan:
You ready, MegaMan?

MegaMan:

Yasu:

Yasu:
And the victor is... Lan!!

Yasu:
And the victor is... Lan!!

(If Lan chooses door 3)

Lan:
Whoa! It's freezing I'm gonna freeze to death! We have to battle here!?

Yasu:
Lan, this is called the "Arctic Pit". Now then, proceed. Your opponent is
waiting.

Tamako:
Hey, kid! You're my opponent!? Pretty intense, huh!? Come on, let's have at

MegaMan:
We've got a long way to go, but at this rate, we may win!

Lan:
Yeah!!

Tamako:
You two can do it! After all, you beat me!! Good luck in the next battle!

Yasu:
And the victor is... Lan!!


(If Lan chooses door 4)

Lan:
A jungle inside a mountain? We have to battle here!?

Yasu:
Lan, this is called the "Amazon Pit". Now then, proceed. Your opponent is
waiting.

Tamako:
Hey, kid! You're my opponent!? Pretty intense, huh!? Come on, let's have at
it!

(Lan goes up to the table)

(After beating Tamako in one of the doors she falls)

Tamako:
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!

Lan:
Tamako!!

Yasu:
Congratulations, Lan. The four remaining people from blocks A and B are
waiting through that door.

MegaMan:
The four people remaining from blocks A and B... I wonder if Chaud made it?

Lan:
There's no way he didn't make it to the top 8!

MegaMan:
Yeah, you're right! Say, the remaining people must all be really good! Let's
show 'em what we've got!

Lan:
You bet!!

Yasu:
I will now explain how the next battle will work. You will fight with a new
folder. Several types of folder data are hidden about Hades Isle. Search for
them and equip whichever folder you like best.

Lan:
Really!? I wonder what kind of chips are in these new folders!? Let's go find
a super-powerful folder!

Yasu:
However, you have a time limit of 3 minutes! You must search for the hidden
folders and equip one within this time. The folder you have equipped when the
time is up will be the one you'll use in the next battle!

Lan:
Only 3 minutes? Isn't that a little short?

Yasu:
I will guide you to the next stage 3 minutes from now. Now then, let us begin.
Ready? Go!!

(Lan gets the folder he likes)

Yasu:
OK! Time's up! We will now lock in the folder you have currently equipped!

Game Narrator:
Beeep! Ka-Chink!

Yasu:
Now, then, go through your door to the final stage on Hades Isle! We call
it... Eternal Hades!

Lan:
At last, the final battle on Hades Isle! I'm all fired up!

(Lan enters Eternal Hades)

Yasu:
We will now hold the quarter-finals!

(The screen goes to a room with the final 8)

Yasu:
The last fearsome battle determined the top 8! In Arena 1: Lan from D-Block Vs
Dex from A-Block!

Dex:
Lan! I can't believe we're paired up here! I hate to break this to you, but
I'm gonna have to win! Chisao's cheering for me by the TV set!

Lan:
I'm the one who has to win! I'm going to the semi-finals!

Yasu:
In Arena 2: Yai from B-Block Vs Q from D-Block!

Yai:
My dynamite technique will blow you to pieces!

NetBattler Q:
Hee hee hee... ...Shrimp...

Yai:
W-Who's a shrimp!? You'd better remember this! I'm not gonna ease up when you
come crying for mercy!

Yasu:
In Arena 3: Tora from D-Block Vs Masa from A-Block!

Tora:
You're luck just ran out, being paired with me!!

Masa:
Quit talkin' that trash! I've been battling before you were born, and I'm not
gonna lose to a baby brat like you!

Yasu:
In Arena 4: Chaud from B-Block Vs Raoul from C-Block!

Chaud:
Nothing personal, but I'm going to have to defeat you.

Raoul:
I shall win this match to protect the pride of my clan!

Yasu:
Now then, these are the rules of the quarter-finals. The quarter-finals
consist of straight-forward NetBattles! The 4 victors can exit through that
Door of Glory! Now then, everyone. Are you ready? Begin battling on my mark!

Lan:
This is it, Dex!

Dex:
Come get me, Lan!

Yasu:
Here we go! N1 Grand Prix Quarter-Finals! Battle routines, set! Execute!

(MegaMan beats GutsMan)

MegaMan:
Yes!

Dex:
No! I lost!!

Lan:
We're in the top 4!

Dex:
..... I hate losing, but you really are good, Lan! Go get that title!

Lan:
Thanks! I'll be fighting for you too, Dex!!

Yai:
Eeeeek!

Lan:
Sounds like Yai's battling!

Yai:
M-my eyes! I can't see! What's going on!?

NetBattler Q:
..You're mine!

Glyde:
Nooo! Miss Yaaai!!

Game Narrator:
Ka-Boooom!!

Yasu:
Glyde is deleted. The victory goes to NetBattler Q!!

Yai:
N-no!

Lan:
MegaMan, did you notice anything odd about that battle?

MegaMan:
Yeah. Something's fishy about that NetBattler Q.

Yasu:
The top 4 have been decided! The glorious four are... These contestants!

(The four losers fall)

Yasu:
Congratulations! Now then, the locks on your extra folders will be released.

Game Narrator: Beeeep! Ka-Chink!

Yasu:
Now for the semi-finals! From here on you will battle with your own folders.
Equip the folder of your choice before the semi-finals begin. Now, climb the
Victory Bridge and proceed outside! Board the ferry and head back to the TV
Station. Good luck, everyone!

(Lan gets back to the ferry)

Lan:
All right! We're going back to the TV station!

MegaMan:
Sunayama isn't here. Can we just board by ourselves?

Lan:
He told use to get on the ferry.

MegaMan:
Okay, then, let's go!

Lan:
Semi-finals, here we come!

MegaMan:
Lan, the ferry's leaving port!

(Lan gets back to Beach)

MegaMan:
Lan, you got mail!! Sunayama's email: "Disembarking" - Hello, Sunayama here!
Contestants should come back to the studio as soon as you get off the boat!
Ciao!

(Lan goes inside and talks to a man)

Man:
You must be Lan. A guy with a beard asked me to give this to you.

Game Narrator:
Lan got a Navi Customizer program: "BrakChrg"!!

Man:
here's a message: If you have a mod something, load this program and run it.
Then, press Select after the error, and enter this password... Let's see, it
was... After error "A3"... I think to code was...

(Lan finds Tamako and talks to her)

Tamako:
You destroyed me just now, so you've gotta be champion!! How about a battle
just for practice!?

(Lan fights her)

Tamako:
You'll find that MetalMan has improved a bit! MetalMan! Show him your power!

(MegaMan wins again)

Tamako:
You're REALLY good, to beat that version of MetalMan! I was sure that those
customizations would do the trick... I think we're going to be great friends!
Here, take this!

Game Narrator:
Lan got a "TamaCode"!!

(Lan goes outside and finds Ribbita)

Ribbita:
Have you seen Chaud? He disappeared after leaving the boat... The semi-finals
will be starting soon... Lan, would you please go get Chaud for me?

(Lan finds Chaud)

Lan:
What are you doing here, Chaud? The TV crew is waiting for you!

Chaud:
Get lost. You're disturbing my mental concentration.

Lan:
What? I came to get you so you won't be late, and that's how you thank me?
Fine! Miss the battle! See what I care!

Chaud:
Hmph! Worried about your opponent before battle? How naive are you?

Lan:
Hey! I'm not worried about you! I'm just here because a TV person asked me to
find you!

(Ribbita comes up)

Ribbita:
Oh! There you are! Chaud, please hurry to the TV Station. The semi-finals are
about to begin!

Lan:
What's with you? You know, I'm gonna win this thing! I'm not losing to you!

Chaud:
Lan.. Why do you want to win this tournament?

Lan:
Why? Because I entered it, that's why!

Chaud:
........ With a weak reason like that, you'll never defeat me.

Lan:
Weak? Who's weak!? So why are YOU fighting in this tournament!?

Chaud:
That's none of your business.

(Chaud walks off)

Lan:
What's his problem!? I can't stand that guy!

MegaMan:
Yeah. Still, he seems a bit different than usual.

Lan:
I didn't notice.

Ribbita:
I've got to return to the studio. Hurry back too, Lan. Oh no! Look at the
time! Lan! Pronto!

MegaMan:
All right. Let's go! Off to the semi-finals!

Lan:
Yeah! You just wait, Chaud! We'll show you who's weak!

(Lan goes to N1 room)

Ribbita:
Welcome to the first-ever N1 Grand Prix semi-finals! 32 elite contestants
battled through a series of rigorous preliminaries to the N1 Grand Prix. The
best 4 of them now stand before you! We will now determine the 1st N1
champion!

Crowd:
Yaaaaay! Yiippeeee! Wooohoooo!

Ribbita:
Now let's hear a comment from each contestant! First we'll here from Lan.

Lan:
I made it this far, so I'm going to go for the title!

Ribbita:
Now from Tora!

Tora:
After taking a look at these chumps, I'm not worried. They all look like
sissies to me. Chaud's probably the only one who'll give me a good battle.

Ribbita:
My, what confidence! Now let's hear from NetBattler Q!

NetBattler Q:
.................

Ribbita:
Excuse me, Q... Please, just a single comment...

NetBattler Q:
........

Ribbita:
.. All right then! Q seems to be a person of action, not words! We're looking
forward to you show your stuff! And finally, let's hear from Chaud!

Chaud:
I have nothing to say. I'll fight, I'll win. That's all.

Ribitta:
A cool yet subtly provocative statement!. Now then, let's get underway with
the 1st battle of the semi-finals! The first battle will be... Lan vs
Toraaaa!!

Tora:
What? I gotta fight this punk? I wanted to face Chaud! Ah well, I'll just save
that battle for the finals. I'll make short work of this kid.

Lan:
What!? I'll show you!! Come on, MegaMan! Let's mutilate this creep!

MegaMan:
Lan! Don't let your emotions get the best of you! In combat, he who loses his
cool loses the battle! If you just calm down, we'll be able to win, no
problem!

Lan:
You're right. Gotta stay calm... Gotta stay calm...

Tora:
Ahahahaha! Look! The Navi's comforting him like a little baby! This battle's
all mine!

Lan:
Oooh I'm gonna... ... ! Gotta stay calm... Gotta stay calm...

Ribbita:
Now then! Lan, Tora. Please proceed to the center stage! Start battling on my
mark! N1 Grand Prix! Semi-Finals! Battle routines, set! Execute!

Lan:
Go, MegaMan!!

Tora:
Get him, KingMan!

(MegaMan beats KingMan)

Lan:
We did it, MegaMan! We're going to the finals! Hey, Tora! How ya like me now?

Tora:
........

Lan:
..... Tora?

Tora:
Laaannnnn!

Lan:
Huh!? You still want to fight!?

Tora:
..... Heh heh...... Ahahahahaha! Just kidding! You beat me fair and square!
You know, I didn't even think I'd make it this far!

Lan:
Huh!? You're going to accept that I beat you, just like that?

Tora:
Well, you may have beat me today, but I'm gonna get you next time!

Lan:
Tora...... Ok! Yeah! We definitely have to battle again!

Tora:
Go win that title! If you do, my loss won't be so bad!

Lan:
OK!!

Ribbita:
Enemies on the field, friends in real life! What sportsmanship! The winner of
the first semi-finals battle is Lan!! Now for Battle 2! NetBattler Q vs
Chaud!! Alright. Please take your places on the center stage!

Lan:
Hey, Chaud! You better win this! Because I want to be the one to beat you!

Chaud:
Hmph! I'm going to have your head on a platter!

Lan:
That's my line!

Game Narrator:
Beep beep beep

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! It's from Mayl. It says, "Lan! Can you come outside? I have
to tell you something. Yai's in trouble! Meet me outside the TV station!" I
wonder what's happened to Yai!?

Lan:
We have some time before the finals. Let's find out what happened!

(Lan runs outside)

Lan:
Mayl! Dex! What's this about Yai!?

Dex:
You know how the losers were dropped though the floor?

Lan:
Yeah! Hey, you fell through the floor too! Are you all right?

Dex:
Actually, there were cushioned mats placed where we fell. But Yai fell down
right on her head! I mean, you know how big that head of hers is!

Lan:
Really? Is she all right!?

Mayl:
Well, she hit it real hard and got knocked out. They took her to the hospital
and are going to run some tests.

MegaMan:
That sounds serious! I hope she's going to be OK!

Lan:
Which hospital did they take her to?

Mayl:
She's at the Seaside Hospital, straight up Beach Street.

Lan:
Come on, then! Let's get over to the hospital!

Dex:
But Lan, what about the N1 Grand Prix?

Lan:
Now's not the time for that!

Game Narrator:
Briiinnng!

MegaMan:
Lan, you've got a phone call!

Yai:
Hello, Lan? How are you doing? Are you winning?

Lan:
Yai! Are you OK!?

Yai:
No I'm not OK! They dropped me on my head! I'm going to sue that producer
Sunayama for everything he's got!

Lan:
Yai! You're all right! What a relief!

Yai:
You call this "all right"!? I have to be hospitalized for days so they can run
tests! I'm so bored I could scream! Anyway, Lan. You just win that tournament,
you hear me!?

Lan:
Oh, I will! Wish me luck!

Game Narrator: Click!

Mayl:
It sounds like Yai's going to be OK. What a relief!

Dex:
Now you can just concentrate on the tournament, Lan! Go win it for us!

Mayl:
You can do it, Lan! We're counting on you!

Lan:
Thanks guys! I'll win this thing without breaking a sweat!

Crowd:
Ooooohhh!!

MegaMan:
The crowd's going wild! Maybe Chaud's battle is over! Let's go, Lan!

Lan:
Alright guys, I'm off!

Dex:
Hooray! Hooray! Lan! Hooray! Hooray! Lan!

Mayl:
Good luck!

(Lan goes back to the battle stage)

(Chaud and Q are at a stalemate)

Ribbita:
The second battle of the semi-finals is growing ever more intense! Neither has
the advantage. This is anyone's battle!

Lan:
Chaud's having trouble? NetBattler Q is that strong!?

MegaMan:
Lan! The battle's being displayed on that giant screen!

Lan:
You better not lose Chaud!

Navi:
Huff! Huff! Huff! Very impressive, Mr. Official NetBattler.

ProtoMan:
You're pretty strong yourself, for a commercial model Navi. Just who exactly
are you!?

Navi:
I am honored by your words of praise; but this form has it's limits, and isn't
quite enough against you.

ProtoMan:
"This form"?

Chaud:
ProtoMan! Be alert!

ProtoMan:
Yes sir!

Navi:
Grrraaarrr! Desert Metamorphosis!

NetBattler Q:
W-Wait! It's too soon for Desert Metamorphosis!

Navi:
5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Gyaaaaaa!

(The navi changes into DesertMan)

DesertMan:
Gwahh... ... Gwahh... ...

ProtoMan:
.. .. !!

DesertMan:
Zooo...... Zwozaaah...... (I am DesertMan!) Zazuuu... Zwozaaah...... (This is
my true form!)

NetBattler Q:
DesertMan! Don't delete ProtoMan yet!

DesertMan:
Zouzazoooo...... (Why!?) Zuuzaoohooo. (Why not kill the Navi!?)

NetBattler Q:
That wouldn't be very interesting for our viewers!! The audience is always
looking for an unexpected turn of events! Drag it out! Our ratings will drop
if you delete him too early! Buy some time with dramatic moves!

Chaud:
ProtoMan! Delete him!

ProtoMan:
Yes, sir! Prepare to die!

NetBattler Q:
Now!

DesertMan:
Zuooooooooo!! (Desert Mirage!!)

ProtoMan:
Ahh!! Wh-what's this!?

DesertMan:
Zuzazoooooo... ... (How do you like my mirage world?) Zuzuzuooozooo......
(Your eyesight is in great disorder, no? ) Zaaaa...... Zoooo...... (You can't
even attack me! ) Zuzaaaaa ( I'll devour you slowly.)

Chaud:
ProtoMan! Blind Mode!

ProtoMan:
Blind Mode!! ... There you are! Hyaaah!

NetBattler Q:
What!? You can attack, even in my Desert Mirage!?

Chaud:
Hmph! Little tricks like that don't work on ProtoMan!

NetBattler Q:
Chaud... ProtoMan... I now see why Lord Wily is concerned about you. I believe
I'll need to delete you here after all.

Chaud:
What!? Wily!? You! You just said "Wily"! So you're a WWW operator!

NetBattler Q:
That's right! The time has finally come to reveal who I am! Cameramen! Focus
on me!! Who am I, you ask? Age, gender, nationality unkown! The owner of a
million mysteries! NetBattler Q!!!! However, in reality, I am... N1 Grand Prix
producer and WWW operator... ... Sunayamaaaaaaa!!

Chaud:
I see. You've been stringing us all along all this time.

Sunayama:
Exactly!

Chaud:
But why choose such a public stage as the N1? Usually, the WWW operates in the
shadows.
Sunayama:
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I'm sorry, my little friend, but it's just the opposite! The
more public the place, the better! This was a necessary step in our plan to
rule the world!

Chaud:
..I see. By defeating all the famous NetBattlers in this event, which is
being broadcast live around the world, you aim to show the entire planet the
power of WWW.

Sunayama: Exactly so. You catch on fast. The defeat of ace NetBattler Chaud
will be displayed on TV sets around the world! Then, people will realize that
if not even the legendary Chaud could defeat the WWW, no one can oppose us!

Chaud:
Hmph. A feeble plan at best. What will happen if I win? After losing to an
elementary school student, the WWW will be the laughing stock of the planet!

Sunayama:
Hee hee hee! Oh I don't believe that is likely to happen. After all, I am the
producer of the N1! Are you starting to get the picture?

Chaud:
.. You didn't!! You won't get away with this!!

Lan:
Chaud! What are you doing? This guy's a WWW operator! Let's get him!

Chaud:
Back off, Lan. Leave this to me.

Sunayama:
This isn't the place for this. I've prepared a more crowd-pleasing location.
Shall we go there? Lights off!! Chaud. Come alone to the editing room. We'll
continue our little confrontation there. Ha ha ha ha!

(Lights go out)

Ribbita:
Oh, no! Sunayama vanished while the lights were out!

Lan:
Chaud! I'm going with you!

Chaud:
You stay here, Lan. This is between him and me.

Ribbita:
Something absolutely terrible has happened!! The mysterious NetBattler Q was
not only a WWW member, but the producer of the N1 Grand Prix, Sunayama
himself!! Sunayama has called Chaud to the editing room on the second floor.
What will happen next!?

MegaMan:
Lan!

Lan:
Right! Let's follow Chaud!!

(The screen shows that Sunayama is holding Chaud's father hostage)

Sunayama:
Chaud. The distinguished son of the president of IPC Inc. The foremost
NetBattler in all of Electopia. Operator of ProtoMan, a Navi you customized to
your own specifications. Expert operator. Master customizer.

Chaud:
........

Sunayama:
With you out of the way, our work will be much easier.

Chaud:
.. So it's a NetBattle you want?

Sunayama:
Oh, no no! It is your PET that I am after! How about a trade. Your PET... for
you father.

Chaud:
!!

Sunayama:
You give me your PET, and I'll let your father go.

Chaud:
You coward!!

Sunayama:
In this profession, ratings and quality footage are everything!! Now then,
I'll give you a moment to decide.

ProtoMan:
haud. Please hand him the PET.

Chaud:
Grrr!

Lan:
So Chaud's the heir to the IPC Inc. fortune... ! What am I saying? This isn't
the time for that! We've got to figure out a way to help Chaud's dad!

MegaMan:
If we could just distract Sunayama for a second... Are we carrying anything
that might do the trick?

Lan:
I have an idea! MegaMan! How about we... ... (Whisper whisper) (Whisper
whisper)

MegaMan:
........ I guess we've got no choice. This is an emergency! But we can't
afford to miss!

Lan:
Trust me!

Sunayama:
Time's up. Have you said your good byes to ProtoMan? Now, then, hand over your
PET, please.

Chaud:
I'm sorry, ProtoMan.........

Sunayama:
Viewers around the world watching through the hidden cameras! Observe
Electopia's ace NetBattler surrender to  the WWW. Chaud is now handing his PET
over to...

Lan:
Nowwwwww!! MegaMan, ATTACK!!

(Lan chucks his PET and hits Sunayama in the head and knocks him down)

Lan:
Chaud, Quick!! Get your dad!

Chaud:
OK!

Lan:
Chaud! Take your dad to a safe place! Hurry! Get out of here! Sunayama! Now
you have to face me!!

Sunayama:
Noooooo! So you're the one who hit me in the head with that filthy PET!? I'll
just cut and edit that last part... Wait! This is a live broadcast! Oooh, I
can't edit it! You've ruined my entire plan! I'm going to squash you!
DesertMan! Delete that brat!

Lan:
We'll see who's going to get squashed! MegaMan! Battle routine, set!

MegaMan: Execute!

(MegaMan beats DesertMan)

Sunayama:
This isn't happening! DesertMan has been deleted!?

Lan:
Give it up, Sunayama! You're finished!

Sunayama:
Ah! (Lord Wily was quite upset with the BubbleMan incident... I can't let them
catch me here...)

Lan:
There's nowhere for you to run!

Sunayama:
Oh!! Lord Wily!!

Lan:
Wily!?

Sunayama:
Now's my chance!

(Sunayama runs off, but Chaud stops him)

Sunayama:
No, not you!!

Chaud:
Where do you think you're going?

Lan:
I can't believe you pulled a BubbleMan on me! We have you now!!

Chaud:
There's no escape. The building's surrounded. I hereby arrest you under the
rights bestowed upon me as an Official!

Sunayama:
Heh heh heh! So this is how it ends, huh? The bad guy gets caught in the
end... Say... Can I ask one simple request?

Chaud:
What is it?

Sunayama:
When the ratings come out for this N1 Grand Prix, can you tell me? I don't
think I can watch TV in jail.

Chaud:
Hmph. Sure......... Chaud reporting. I've apprehended the suspect. Take him
in.

(Sunayama is taken away)

Chaud:
Lan......

Lan:
So the N1 Grand Prix was cancelled. If this hadn't happened we could have
faced each other in the finals!

Chaud:
Hmph! I'll settle scores with you someday. Someday...

(Chaud leaves)

Lan:
Who'd have thought the WWW was involved with the N1 Grand Prix? I wonder what
they're plotting next?

MegaMan:
I don't know, but I've got a bad feeling. I'm still worried about what that
WWW operator mentioned during that school burglary. "A major catastrophe" ...

Lan:
Yeah.

MegaMan:
Come on, Lan. Let's call it a day! I've got to rest my weary frame!

Lan:
Oh, yeah! You've been battling all day long! We should also drop by the
hospital and  visit Yai!

Game Narrator:
WWW Headquarters

Wily:
Grrrrr.. !! That good-for-nothing Sunayama! ............... Bah! No matter! I
already have two of the TetraCodes. Once I get ahold of the remaining two,
I'll be able to resurrect the beast! Then I'll be able to delete all traces of
the Net society! Mwahahahahaha!

(Anetta walks in)

Anetta:
Laughing by yourself again? You're growing kooky, old man!

Wily:
"Old man"!? You will refer to me as "Lord Wily"!! Young' uns these days have
no respect... So, where did you go today?

Anetta:
I put a stop to 3 filthy factories polluting our air!

Wily:
Very good, my dear. These steady operations will help save our planet's
environment.  If we don't delete the Net society, Mother Nature will perish!

Anetta:
We can't let that happen! I'll do anything to protect our environment, or my
name isn't Anetta! So, where should I hit next?

Wily:
Your next target is... (Whisper whisper)

Anetta:
.............. What? What good will hitting there do?

Wily:
That building holds a piece of data called a TetraCode. We must acquire the
TetraCode to preserve nature. All you need to do is deliver it to me.

Anetta:
So you only need me to steal it and bring it to you? No problem!

Wily:
You're a good girl. Just keep doing as I say. If you follow my orders, we can
save this planet. Now off with you, Anetta! Go get that TetraCode!

(The screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
Due to WWW's involvement in the N1 Grand Prix, the Officials cancelled the N1
finals and opened an investigation. One week has passed since the
investigation began...

(The screen shows Lan in class)

Mayl:
It's been a week now, and Yai still isn't back.

Lan: Hey, you're right! We should go cheer her up!

Dex:
Yeah! Let's go! Let's go! Now that that's settled, what are we waiting for?
C'mon! She was at that hospital right by Beach Street, right?

Mayl:
Yeah, I think she was at the Seaside Hospital, at the far end of Beach Street.

Lan:
OK, guys! Let's get going!

Dex:
All right! Last one there's a rotten egg!

(Everyone starts to leave but a classmate stops Lan)

Kid:
Lan! Just where do you think you're going? You're assigned to afterschool
cleaning duty today!

Lan:
Oh, man! I totally forgot!

MegaMan:
You can't remember anything, Lan! We'll just have to go after we finish
cleaning.

Lan:
Yeah, I guess. Huh! I gotta get with it! Sorry guys! Go ahead without me! I'll
catch up with you later at the hospital!

Dex:
Hah! What a loser! Hurry up and finish!

Mayl:
Have fun cleaning! Tee-hee!

(Lan finishes cleaning)

Lan:
Whew! Finished at last!

MegaMan:
Great job, Lan! Come on, let's go visit Yai!

Lan:
All right!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!! MailNews Email: "Killer plant!?" - 3 chemical plants in
DenCity were covered in vines last night, completely shutting down all
functions. Still no word on how the plants could have grown so fast, but it is
thought that chemical waste could be the cause.

(Lan goes to the Hospital and talks to the Receptionist)

Receptionist:
Looking for Yai? go to the end of the second floor.

(Lan goes to Yai's room)

Lan:
Yai! How're you feeling?

Yai:
I'm totally fine, but they still won't let me go home, just in case I'm not
ready. They treat me like I'm a baby!

MegaMan:
From the sound of it, you're as good as ever! We're all hoping you can come
back soon!

Yai:
I suspect they won't detain me much longer.

Lan:
Well, that's good news. Hey, this room's kind of plain for you, Yai. I expected
something more luxurious!

Yai:
It may look drab, but this is a hi-tech hospital. Everything in it is run by
computers! The medical treatment here is flawless. Oh yeah! Did you see the
Tree of Life?

Lan:
The Tree of Life?

MegaMan:
She must mean that big tree in the center of the hospital.

Yai:
Yes, that one. It's run by computer, too! It never drops leaves or whithers.
It's a symbol of health for patients.

Lan:
The tree's run by a computer? Wow.

Yai:
All this talk's making me thristy. Lan, go buy me something to drink. You did
see the vending machine in the lobby, right?

Lan:
What!? Why do I have to buy you a drink!? There's nothing wrong with you. Buy
one yourself!

Yai:
How rude! I'm a real patient in a real hospital! You should take pity on the
injured.

Lan:
"The injured"!? Oh, forget it. I suppose you want Tea?

Yai:
A girl's got to watch her calories! Tee hee!

Lan:
Fine. I'll be right back.

(Lan goes to the Lobby to get Yai some tea)

Lan:
Let's see, Tea... Here we go!

Game Narrator:
Peep! Ka-Chunk! Lan got: "Tea"!!

Lan:
Now then, back to Yai's room.

(A nurse comes by)

Nurse:
Excuse me. Have you seen a boy in a wheelchair?

Lan:
A boy in a wheelchair? No, I don't think so. Is something the matter with him?

Nurse:
He's one of our hospitalized patients. Even though we told him we need to run
some  test, he's gone off somewhere. I'm sure he couldn't have gone too far.

MegaMan:
Lan, this nurse could probably use a hand. Why don't we help her look for the
boy?

Lan:
You're right! People have helped us in the past! I'll help you find him! Where
should I look?

Nurse:
You will? Thank you! I'll search inside the hospital, so can you check the
outside?

Lan:
Yes, ma'am!

Nurse:
The boy's name is Mamoru. I hope we can find him soon.

(The nurse walks off)

Lan:
Mamoru... Where could you be?

(Lan looks for the boy and finds him)

Lan:
Mamoru?

Mamoru:
Huh? Wow! NetBattler Lan!

Lan:
What? You know me?

Mamoru:
I watched you on TV in the N1 Grand Prix! I can't believe I'm talking with
NetBattler Lan!

Lan:
Come on, you're gonna make me blush.

MegaMan:
Stop blushing, Lan! Remember why we're here!

Mamoru:
No way! MegaMan! You're MegaMan, right? Awesome!

MegaMan:
Awesome...? I'm not that spectacular...

Lan:
Ha ha! Now look who's blushing!

MegaMan:
Oh, be quiet! Mamoru, a nurse is looking for you! She said you have a test
scheduled!

Mamoru:
Oh, that... OK, I'll go back now. Before I go though... Can we talk a little
longer? You don't mind, do you?

Lan:
No, of course not! Just promise you'll go back!

Mamoru:
All right!

Lan:
So, do you like NetBattling too, Mamoru?

Mamoru:
I love it! Everyone is equal when NetBattling! It doesn't matter even if
you're weak, like I am!

Lan:
Hey! Do you want to battle with me?

Mamoru
Really!? Oh, but I can't... The doctor told me no battles. Too much
excitement is bad for my condition...

Lan:
Oh... I didn't mean to... I mean, I didn't know. Sorry about that...

Mamoru:
No, that's all right. I'd better get back now. It was great meeting you,
NetBattler Lan! Thanks for talking!

Lan:
Please, stop calling me "NetBattler Lan". Just call me "Lan"!

Mamoru:
Really...Lan? Thanks! If you have time, can you visit me again sometime?

Lan:
Sure! I'd be happy to visit you! Once you get better, let's NetBattle, OK?

Mamoru:
..Yeah. All right. I'll go now.

(Mamoru goes back to hospital)

MegaMan:
I hope Mamoru will get better soon.

Lan:
Yeah... C'mon, let's get back to Yai's room!

(Lan goes back to Yai's room)

Yai:
What on earth took you so long!?

Lan:
Sorry! There was something I had to take care of. Here. I bought you your
"Tea".
Game Narrator:
Lan gave "Tea"!!

Yai:
Thanks. I'll save this for later.

Mayl:
It's been awhile since we've all been together like this.

Yai:
Things just aren't the same without me, are they?

Mayl:
Heh heh! That's right! Hurry up and come back to school!

Lan:
Actually, it's been nice and quiet without Yai around.

Yai:
What!  Fine! I'm never coming back! See what I care!

Lan:
Ha ha! Just kidding Yai! I want you out of here just as much as everyone. Same
with you, right Dex?

Dex:
.. ... ... ...Uh, yeah... Sorry, I gotta go.

(Dex leaves)

Lan:
What’s the matter with Dex? Was it something I said?

Mayl:
I don’t think so. Maybe something’s wrong...

Yai:
Knowing Dex, he’ll be his normal arrogant self again tomorrow.

Lan:
Yeah, you’re probably right. I’m sure it’s nothing too serious. Well, I should
get going too.

MegaMan:
Yeah, if we stay too long, mom will start to worry.

Lan:
How about you Mayl? You staying?

Mayl:
Um, I think I’m going to talk with Yai a bit longer.

Lan:
All right! Hurry up and get better, Yai!

Yai:
Don’t worry about me! I’ll be out in no time!

(Lan leaves and goes home)

Lan:
Hi, mom!  I'm home!

Mom:
Oh, hi there, Lan! There's a friend of yours here. He's waiting in your room.

Lan:
A friend? I wonder who it is?

(Lan goes up to his room to find Tora)

Tora:
What's up Lan! Sorry to just barge in like this!

Lan:
Tora? I haven't seen you since N1! What are you doing here?

Tora:
Well, I'm kinda checking out some different scenes. Where I'm from, I'm
unbeatable. But when I entered N1, I saw tough operators everywhere! After I
lost to you, it hit me that I'm just a big fish in a small pond. I need to get
out and see the ocean!

(Mom comes in)

Mom:
Dinner's ready, Lan! Well, Tora, I take it you'll be staying? I made plenty of
food, so you're welcome to join us!

Tora:
Well, if you put it that way...Sure!!

Mom:
Hurry down, you two!

(Mom leaves)

Tora:
Let's talk more after we eat. Come on!

(The screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
After supper is finished...

(Lan and Tora are back in Lan's room)

Tora:
Wow, that was great! I wish I could eat like that everyday!

Lan:
So, anyway, you were saying?

Tora:
Oh, yeah. So it hit me that there are lots of strong NetBattlers out there. I
figured I'd travel around and study their styles. I'm sort of on a training
mission!

Lan:
Hmm. So you chose to learn from me first?

Tora:
Oh, no. You're my second person.

Lan:
Oh. So who did you study before me?

Tora:
That guy Chaud.

Lan:
Chaud? So, did you learn anything?

Tora:
I went to his house, but they told me to go home. So I used my own methods to
check him out.

Lan:
Check him out? You mean, like spy on him?

Tora:
Exactly. I've had my eye on him ever since N1. And you know what? I found out
the secret of his strength.

Lan:
The secret...? Of Chaud's strength?

Tora:
Yeah, I bet you want to know too, huh? I'm willing to part with that info, but
first I got a favor to ask. This training mission of mine is fine and all, but
I'm short on money. I'd like to earn some cash at the SciLab Job BBS tomorrow.

Lan:
And you want me to...?

Tora:
I'd like you to take on a few requests for me. I found some with good earning
potential yesterday, but I can't do them all by myself, and someone else may
take them.

Lan:
What!? I'm not gonna work for you!

Tora:
Oh. Guess you don't want that secret info on Chaud after all.

Lan:
Hmmmmm... Fine!  I'll do it!

Tora:
All right! It's a deal!  See ya tomorrow! I'm going to sleep!

Lan:
You'd think this was your house, not mine...

(The screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
The next morning...

(Lan is in his room)

Lan:
Huh? Where's Tora?

MegaMan:
He went to help out mom. You know, you could learn something from him, too,
Lan.

Lan:
Do you have to nag so early?

Game Narrator: Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
Lan!  You got mail! It's from Dex.

Lan:
What's it say?

MegaMan:
It says, "We've gotta talk. Come to the park." Dex was acting strange
yesterday. I wonder if something's wrong?

Lan:
Yeah. Let's go check it out!

(Lan goes to ACDC park and finds Dex)

Lan:
Hey, Dex! What's going on, calling me out here like this? You've been acting
so strange since yesterday!

Dex:
Oh. Uh, well.. Actually it's, uh...

Tora:
Yo! Lan!!

(Tora Walks up)

Tora:
Hey. Am I interrupting something?

Dex:
Oh! You! You were in the N1 too, right?

Tora:
That's right. The name's Tora. Come on, whip out your PET.

Dex:
What? What do you want with my PET!?

Tora:
Get with it! There's only one way to "greet" a NetBattler! By NetBattling! The
best way to get to know each other is to do battle!

Dex:
Sure! NetBattlers don't need words to greet each other. All right! C'mon!
Let's mix it up! GutsMan! Battle routine, set!

GutsMan:
Yeehaw!! Execute!

Tora:
This greeting's gonna be a bit rough on ya! KingMan! It's time to checkmate!!

(Tora and Dex battle)

Tora:
Whew! You almost had me! I thought I might lose!

Dex:
Now I see why you made it to the N1 semi-finals! You might even become a rival
of Lan's!

Tora:
Now that we've had our greeting, we can be friends!

Dex:
Yeah!

Tora:
Alright, Lan. I'm gonna get over to the SciLab. Meet me there when you're
finished. See ya!

(Tora leaves)
Lan:
See ya. So Dex, what did you want to tell me?

Dex:
Oh, ah...Never mind. It's nothing. Say, that guy Tora was good! I hope you two
become friends! I just remembered I got something to do. I'm going back home.

(Dex leaves again)

Lan:
Dex isn’t acting like himself...

MegaMan:
Yeah. Maybe something’s bothering him?

Lan:
Ah, he’ll probably be back to normal soon enough. Let’s get over to the
SciLab!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!! Tamako's Email: "A shortcut" - This is Tamako from the
gift shop at the Ura Inn!  I made a shortcut to Beach Square as a promo for my
shop! The shortcut is on my homepage! Hope you enjoy it!

(Lan goes to SciLab and finds Tora)

Tora:
I'd like you to help me with the job marked "Tora" next. Go take care of that
one,and then come back here.  Thanks!

(Lan looks at the job board)

MegaMan:
Looks like a new message!

Game Narrator: "Look for friends (Tora)" - I'd like someone to help me find an
old friend.  If you can help, come meet me at ACDC Park. Accept this job?

Game Narrator: Job accepted.

(Lan meets guy in ACDC park)

Man:
You're the one who accepted the job? Nice to meet you! OK, let me explain the
job to you. Like I wrote, I haven't seen my friend for 15 years. So I'm not
even sure what he looks like now! But recently I heard that someone saw his
Navi around! It was seen in the Yoka area. You can tell who it is, because he
says "hey" at the end of every sentence. Could you please find this Navi to
help find my friend? Please take this paper. If my friend sees it, I'm sure
that he'll remember me. What's written on it? A secret!!

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "TickStub"!!

Man:
Thanks!

(MegaMan finds the Navi)

Navi:
Zzzzzz...  ...Huh!? Wha...!? Hey! Who are you? You woke me up! Wha...? You
wanna know about my operator, hey? My most excellent operator is a zoo
veterinarian, hey! My operator does a wonderful job of curing sick animals!
..Flattery will get you anywhere, hey! Um, so, why do ya wanna know, hey?

(MegaMan jacks out and Lan finds his operator at the Zoo)

Operator:
Huh!? That map! That's the map my fiends and I buried when we were kids! It
should match up with the other half I still have!  've waited 15 long years
for somebody to dig that up! He remembered the pact we made way back then!
Tell my friend I'm going to go see him again right away!

(Lan returns to the guy in ACDC park)

Man:
My friend said that he wants to see me!? Thank you so much! Here, let me pay
you for your help... Huh? You want me to deposit it in Tora's account? Sure,
OK! I will! But you deserve something yourself for a job well done!

Game Narrator:
Lan got a PowerUp: "RegUP3"!! Regular memory increased by 3 MB!

(Lan goes back to the board)

(Lan selects the new job called "Stuntmen wanted! (Tora)")

Game Narrator:
So you think you're good? Prove it! DNN is looking for a few good stunt Navis
for "Cyber Corps: NetRangers"! For the details, come to Beach 1! This could be
your big debut! Accept this job?

Game Narrator:
Job accepted.

(MegaMan finds the DNN navi)

Navi:
Wow! I can't believe it! MegaMan, from the N1 finals! Yes, I'm the one from
DNN with a request for you! With you as our stuntman, we'll pull out all the
stops! OK, we're gonna do five battle scenes in a row! Get ready! OK, everyone
take your places! 3, 2, 1... ACTION!

(MegaMan goes into battle and wins)

Navi:
Wow! Clap clap clap! You sure have a knack for this!

MegaMan:
They really did pull out all the stops. What if we'd lost!?

Navi:
OK, OK! Cut! Don't worry about the little details! We've got some nice footage
in the can. Here's your reward. So you want us to make the payment to this guy
Tora? I hope you won't be offended by the low pay, MegaMan. Please accept this
in addition!

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got a PowerUp:  "HPMemory"!!

Navi:
Nice work! Hope we can work with you again sometime!

(Lan selects the new job, "Riot stopped (Tora)")

Game Narrator:
There's a gang of Navis spreading viruses by the TV Station. They're mad
because they lost at N1. I can't handle them alone, so if you can help, meet
me at the Station Lobby. Accept this job?

Game Narrator:
Job accepted.

(Lan finds the man in the Station Lobby)

Man:
Thanks for coming! I requested your help on the BBS. Navis are spreading
viruses all around this TV station. I think the Navis were uploaded from a
jack in point. There are 3 of them. I want you to teach them all a lesson.
It's embarrassing, but I was sent from SciLab to stop them. I am outnumbered
and not much use, though. I hope you can help. If you deal with all three,
I'll give you a reward.

(MegaMan finds the evil Navi in DNN van)

Navi #1:
They took everything from me in the N1! Someone will pay! I gave it my all,
but was eliminated in the first round!! What? Who are you? From the TV
station, huh? You're gonna get it! Take this!!

(MegaMan beats the viruses and finds another evil navi in the battle stage)

Navi #2:
You, you, you jerks! How dare you end N1 like that! Do you realize how
expensive front-row tickets were!? Start it again and finish it properly!!
Hey, stupid! I'm not all talk, you know! Try some of this!

(MegaMan beats the viruses and finds another evil navi in the securtiy panel)

Navi #3:
Aw, man!! I wanted to show off to my girlfriend in the N1. But I was beaten to
a pulp! Now she's gone and left me! Hey! You! What, so you think it's funny?
I'll wipe the stupid smile off your face!

(MegaMan beats the viruses and goes back to the Man)

Man:
Thank you so much! Well done! You saved my neck at SciLab! It's not much, but
.. OK, I understand. I'll transfer it. Also, one of the Navis dropped this.
You can have it.

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "Tally"!

(Lan selects the new job "Gathering data (Tora)")

Game Narrator:
I'm looking for some important data I lost. I can't talk much here. Come to
the teacher's lounge at ACDC School. Accept this job?

Game Narrator:
Job accepted.

(Lan finds the man in the teacher's lounge)

Man:
Well, hello, Lan! Are you here to get some tutoring, too? Battler, but I had
no idea that you would take on my job! But I'm sure that I can trust you to do
a fine job! The other day, a Navi that was carrying school data vanished. It
was carrying health data about the students. I can't imagine that anyone could
use it for anything bad, but it is private data that shouldn't be allowed
outside. I would like you to find the Navi, and bring back the "Insrdata" it
had. Try searching the SciLab area!

(MegaMan finds program)

Program:
Wha? Wha? Where'd all the insurance data go? What's that? A schoolteacher is
looking for me? Oh, no!  I'm so sorry! I lost the teacher's data I was
carrying! I'll never live it down if I lose that data! I'll find it for sure,
so don't tell the teacher!  Ach... Did I drop it in ACDC, somewhere...?  Man,
I can't believe this...

(MegaMan finds Navi with data)

Navi:
"Class 5-A  Mayl: Weight... Huh? I found this data on the street, but it's
worthless. Huh? You want it? ... ... Well, let's see... I found it, so it IS
mine... But if I could get a "Yo-Yo1 G", I'd give this up. sigh. I'd really
like to get me a "Yo-Yo1 G".

(MegaMan gives him "Yo-Yo1 G"

Navi:
Well, if ya put it that way, I'll trade with ya! (Yes!  What a deal!)

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "InsrData"!!

(Lan gives the information to the man)

Man:
Yes, that's it! I'm so glad you were able to find it!

Game Narrator:
Lan gave the "InsrData"!!

Man:
And here's your payment for your services... What? You want me to transfer it
to your friend Tora? Okay, but you deserve something for yourself, too! Here!

Game Narrator:
Lan got a chip for "SloGauge *"!!

Man:
Thanks for your help!

(After finishing the last job Lan goes back to Tora)

Lan:
Okay, Tora. I held up my end of the bargain! So out with it! What's Chaud's
secret?

Tora:
OK. You know how Chaud is world-renowned? How he's seen as a natural-born
genius at NetBattling?

Lan:
Yeah, sure.

Tora:
Actually... It's all just an act.

Lan:
An act? What do you mean?

Tora:
Ten hours a day.

Lan:
Ten hours? What are you talking about?

Tora:
That's how much time Chaud spends training each day.

Lan:
!! I thought he was so strong, he didn't need to train!

Tora:
That's just what he wants people to believe. He's only as strong as he is,
though, for one reason. He's been practicing like that every day for years!

Lan:
No way!

MegaMan:
Chaud's that good because he's been training so hard? He's done a really
remarkable job keeping it a secret!

Tora:
Exactly! That's the amazing thing! He's been training so hard, but still he's
managed to keep it hidden! He's putting in more effort than anyone! His battle
intuition and customizing technique are all natural, though.

Lan:
Man! I've gotta train more, too! I can't lose to Chaud!

Tora:
You know, if you ask me who the real geniuses are, I'd say it's guys like you,
Lan.

Lan:
.. ...! What are you talking about!? I'm not that good yet!

Tora:
..Yeah, you're right! Hahaha! OK! OK! So I got a little carried away. Anyway,
that's what I got on Chaud. Here, this is for you. It's a little something in
return for your help.

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "Fldr2"!!

Tora:
Thanks for today, Lan. Give your mom my regards! I'll be in DenCity for a
while, so I'll keep in touch.

Lan:
All right! Well, let's go home, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Sure. See you, Tora!

(Lan goes home and goes to bed)

(Morning)

MegaMan: Lan! Wake up! It's morning! If we don't hurry, we'll be late!

Lan:
(rubs his eyes) Nngh...School again? It's tough being an elementary student!

MegaMan:
You'll probably be the last one to class again today.

Lan:
Aw, shut up! Come on, we'd better hurry!

(Lan hurry's to school where he talks to everyone)

Mayl:
Lan, you're only just in time! You should wake up earlier! ...Now that I think
about it, Dex isn't here yet, either...

Kid 1:
Mornin'! Did you watch "The Kasket Kids" last night? ...No? Too bad! It was a
great episode!

Kid 2:
I forgot to study! Oh, what'll I do...?

Yai:
Well, I'm back! You guys sure must have missed me! No worries! I'm back and
better than ever! So why isn't Dex here to tell me how much he missed me?

Kid 3:
Good morning, Lan!!

Kid 4:
You just made it in time, Lan! You almost set a new record for being late!

Kid 5:
Dex sure is late... I wonder if he overslept again?

MegaMan:
Ms. Mari's here!

(Ms. Mari comes in and everyone gets ready for school)

Ms. Mari:
Good morning, everyone! Let's begin today's class!

MegaMan:
Dex still hasn't come. Is he taking the day off?

Lan:
Ms. Mari! Do you know where Dex is? Is he coming today?

Ms. Mari:
Um...Well... Dex is...

Yai:
Is something wrong with Dex, Ms. Mari?

Lan:
What is it, Ms. Mari?

Ms. Mari:
Um...Actually... Dex asked me not to tell anyone, but from today he will be...
Well... he will be moving to a new school.

Lan:
What!?

Mayl:
You're kidding!!

Yai:
He never told us anything like that!

Ms. Mari:
He said getting all emotional wasn't his "style".

Lan:
What was Dex thinking? He should have told us something this important!

MegaMan:
Lan, there may still be time! Let's get over to Dex's house!

Lan:
Right!

(Lan leaves school)

Ms. Mari:
Lan!

(Lan runs to Dex's house)

Lan:
Huff! Huff! The door's locked! We're too late. What were you thinking, Dex?
Moving without telling us... ......Knucklehead.

MegaMan:
Lan...

Lan:
..Is this it, MegaMan? He's just gone? I'll never see him again?

MegaMan:
Don't say that! Of course we'll see Dex again! It won't do you any good
getting all depressed. Come on, let's get back to school!

Lan:
.....Okay.

(Dex exits his house)

Dex:
Lan... What are you doing here?

Lan:
Dex!! Why... Why were you just going to leave without telling us!? What were
you thinking!? We're your friends, Dex!

Dex:
Lan.. I'm sorry.... I tried to tell you guys, but whenever we were together
the words just wouldn't come out...

Lan:
.....

(Yai comes walking up with the rest of the class)

Yai:
Why do you two look so glum!?

Mayl:
Now's no time to cry! Let's show Dex our gratitude!

Dex:
Yai...and Mayl! ...and......

Lan:
Everyone!

Ms. Mari:
I'm sorry, Dex. I know I promised to be quiet... Take good care of yourself in
Netopia. Sniff, sniff...

Yai:
Don't get all emotional, Ms. Mari. Let's give Dex a happy farewell! I'll use
my private jet to visit you, Dex!

Mayl:
Let's e-mail each other, OK? Say hi to Chisao for me!

Kid 1:
We're gonna miss you Dex!

Kid 2:
Good luck in your new school!

Kid 3:
You can leave this class in my hands!

Kid 4:
We can meet anytime in the Cyberworld!

Kid 5:
Come back to visit us!

Dex:
All right!! Take a good look at me, guys, 'cause I'm gonna become the best
NetBattler in all of Netopia! Lan! I'll be seeing you at the next N1 Grand
Prix finals!

Lan:
Yeah! I'll be there!

Dex:
Hey you guys! ...... Thanks for everything! Goodbye!

Dex:
Adios!

(Dex leaves)

MegaMan:
Dex is really gone... We didn't really get to talk muhc. Are you OK? ...
..Lan?

Lan:
.....

MegaMan:
Lan...?

Lan:
..... MegaMan. We gotta train so we won't lose to Dex!

MegaMan:
All right!

(The screen goes black)
Narrator:
Later that day, after school...

(Lan in his room)

Lan:
So what do you want to do today, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
Hmm. I don't know.

Lan:
Sigh. It's no fun without Dex around.

MegaMan:
Yeah, he was always free to hang out with us.

Game Narrator:
Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
Mail! It would be funny if it was from Dex! ...Oh. It's Mamoru, the boy from
the hospital. It says, "Thanks for the other day, Lan! Come drop by again,
OK?".

Lan:
All right! Let's head over to the hospital!

MegaMan:
Yeah, that sounds great! Let's go!

(Lan goes to the Hospital and talks to the receptionist)

Receptionist:
Looking for Mamoru? I think he just went outside.

(Lan finds Mamoru where he was the last time)

Lan:
Hey, Mamoru!

Mamoru:
Lan! You came!

Lan:
How’re you feeling?

Mamoru:
I’m okay. So what do you think? Nice breeze, huh? I always come here on days
when I’m feeling well.

Lan:
Wow! You can see the horizon!

Mamoru:
..I’ve been looking at this view since I was three.

Lan:
Huh? Since you were three? That means...

Mamoru:
Yeah, I’ve been hospitalized all this time. They say I have a heart condition
called "HBD".

MegaMan:
!!

Mamoru:
I’ve never been to school and don’t have friends. Just me and the ocean. It
helps me forget all my troubles.

Lan:
What are you talking about!? You’ve got a friend right here! You don’t have to
be lonely!

Mamoru:
Lan... Thank you!

Lan:
Sure! Hey, Mamoru! Is there a Battle Chip you want?

Mamoru:
Huh? A BattleChip I want? Let’s see... I’d like to get my hands on that chip
everyone on Beach street’s been talking about.  t’s called a "IceBall M",
but it’s extremely rare. I’d be happy if  could even get a glimpse of it!

Lan:
No problem! I’ll got get one for you! It’ll be a token of our friendship!

Mamoru:
Really!? All right! Promise me! Yippee! Yippee! Yi... Achk! ...UhAhkuh... Ah!
Huff...Huff... ... H-help m... Uhhgh...

Lan:
Mamoru!  are you OK!?

MegaMan:
Calm down, Mamoru! Relax your body and take deep breaths!

Mamoru:
Huff...Huff...Ack! Sssssss... Haaaa... Sssssss... Haaaa...  ......... I-I’m
feeling... a little better...

MegaMan:
Lan! Hurry up and call a doctor! Quick! Before he has another attack!

Lan:
Right! MegaMan... How do you know so much?

MegaMan:
Because I’ve been through this before.

Lan:
What!? You mean...

MegaMan:
Yes...HBD is what took my life as Hub. Now’s not the time for this, Lan! Go
get a doctor!

Lan:
Oh! Yeah!

(Lan goes and tells the nurse what happened)

Nurse:
What? Mamoru had an attack!? Oh my goodness... Quickly, let’s see, Mamoru’s
doctor is... Yes! I think he’s on the third floor! Only he can treat the
disease Mamoru has.. "HBD"!

(Lan goes and finds the Doctor)

Doctor:
Huh? What happened? Hmmmmm... What!? Mamoru had an attack!? My goodness!! I’ll
be right there with the first-aid kit! You go ahead and see that he’s OK!

(Lan goes back to Mamoru)

Lan:
Mamoru! Hang in there! The doctor’s here! Mamoru!

Mamoru:
Ugh... Uuuuuuuuh...

(The doctor and nurse come over)

Doctor:
No! Another attack! You! get him into the ER!

Nurse:
Yes!

(Mamoru is taken away and the nurse talks to Lan)

Nurse:
Are you Mamoru’s friend?

Lan:
Uh, yes!  Miss. Is he... Will he be okay?

Nurse:
He’s in a bit better shape right now, but if he has another attack, he could
be in danger. We’d have to operate on him immediately.

Lan:
Operate!?

Nurse:
However, he refuses to be operated on.

Lan:
The refuses? Why?

Nurse:
He’s undergone surgery 3 times, but he’s still sick. That’s made him lose hope
in treatment. But there’s a new treatment that can work on HBD.  If he’d only
allow us to perform the surgery, there’s a chance he could get better.

MegaMan:
Lan! Let’s try to encourage Mamoru to allow the surgery! We can’t give up! He
can beat HBD!

Lan:
You’re right! I don’t know the meaning of the words "give up"! How are we
going to change Mamoru’s mind, though?

MegaMan:
Hmmm... Let’s see. I got it! That chip he wanted! The token of friendship! If
you bring him a "IceBall M", I’m sure he’ll regain hope!

Lan:
Yeah, that’s it! Let’s go find that chip, for the sake of our friendship! Hang
in there, Mamoru!

(Lan gets "IceBall M" and returns to hospital)

Lan:
How do you fell?

Mamoru:
I'm doing better now, but the doctor said to stay in bed.

Lan:
Oh.  .. ... Mamoru, why won't you have surgery?

Mamoru:
Surgery won't change anything. I've had surgery lots of times, but nothing's
improved.

Lan:
But the nurse said there's a new kind of surgery for HBD.

Mamoru:
So? That doesn't mean I'm going to get any better. I'm just sick of all of
this...

Lan:
Hey!!  I'm not going to let you just give up!

Mamoru:
.. ...

Lan:
Mamoru, I once had a twin brother. When he was one, he died from a certain
heart condition because he couldn't undergo surgery. Still, he fought his
sickness to his last breath.

MegaMan:
Lan...

Lan:
Mamoru, please try surgery! It's not too late! Even if there's only a 1%
chance you'll get better, take it! I'm can't just stand by and watch this
sickness beat you!

Mamoru:
The sickness your brother had... Was it...?  ... ... OK, Lan. I'll have the
surgery. I'll fight. For your brother's sake, too!

MegaMan:
You can beat it, Mamoru! If Lan's brother was alive, I know he'd be very proud
of you!

Lan:
Mamoru... Sorry if I sounded harsh. good luck with your surgery. Oh yeah!
Here, this is for you!

Game Narrator:
Lan gave a chip for "IceBall M"!!

Mamoru:
What? You got me the chip!? Thank you!! I can't believe this! I'm not going to
give up, Lan! I'll fight this illness with everything I've got!

Lan:
That's the spirit! With that attitude, I know you'll get better! Hey, let me
know when your surgery will be, OK?

MegaMan:
You can beat this, Mamoru! Come on, Lan, we'd better get on home.

Lan:
Yeah, you're right. All right, Mamoru. See you later!

(Lan goes to sleep)

Lan:
It's been three days since we've heard from Mamoru. I hope he hasn't changed
his mind.

MegaMan:
I'm sure he hasn't. He promised us he'd have the surgery.

Lan:
Yeah, that's true. Maybe we'll hear from him soon.

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! Maybe it's Mamoru? ... ...!!  No, it's from the hospital!!
It says, "Mamoru's condition has taken a sudden turn for the worse. We will
perform an emergency operation today." Oh, no! Lan!

Lan:
What!? Come on, MegaMan! We have to get to the hospital!

MegaMan:
Yeah!

(Lan goes to the hospital)

Lan:
Mamoru! Mamoru! Can you hear me!?

Mamoru:
Unh...

Lan:
I'm here with you, so everything's gonna be all right!

Mamoru:
I... I'll...be...OK.  I...have...your...chip of friendship...

(A nurse comes in)

Nurse:
Mamoru.  We'll take you to the operating room now.

Lan:
Nurse... Please take good care of him!

Nurse:
Of course. We'll do our best! Now then, Mamoru. Let's go upstairs.

Lan:
You'll be fine Mamoru!

(The nurse takes Mamoru)

Lan:
There he goes...MegaMan! Let's go to the operating room! I want to stay as
close to him as possible!

MegaMan:
Yeah, let's go! I think the room is on the third floor!

(Lan outside the Operating room for Mamoru)

MegaMan:
Looks like the operation has began.

Lan:
Hang in there, Mamoru. I'm right here with you.

(The screen goes black)

Narrator:
Three hours into the operation...

(The screen shows Lan pacing)

MegaMan:
Lan, why don't you take a break? Let's go outside and get some fresh air.

Lan:
No, I should be here for Mamoru.

MegaMan:
I know, but you need to take a breather. Let's try to stay patient, Lan. I'm
sure the operation will be a success!

Lan:
You're right. All right. Let's step outside for a minute.

(Lan goes into the elevator and...)

MegaMan:
Down to the lobby!

Game Narrator:
Whirrr... Bang! Ka-Clunk!

Lan:
What was that!? The elevator stopped!

Game Narrator:
Clunkclunkclunkclunk. Whee...Whirrrr!

MegaMan:
t’s moving again, Lan!

(Lan exits the elevator to see that the Tree of Life is growing out of
control)

Lan:
What’s going on!?

Lan:
What in the world happened!?

Intercom:
Attention!  Attention!

MegaMan:
Lan, the intercom!

Intercom:
Please remain calm! Mysterious vines have sprouted from the Tree of Life! Due
to the vines, most of the medical devices within the hospital have stopped
working!

Lan:
Stopped working!? Mamoru’s in the middle of surgery!

Intercom:
Everyone, please evacuate the building at once. Repeat, please evacuate
immediately!

MegaMan:
Oh no! Lan! We’ve got to help Mamoru!

Lan:
Let’s go!

(Lan goes back to the operating room but vines are in the way)

Lan:
The vines are here too!? What's going on in the operating room!?

(A nurse comes up)

Nurse:
Oh! It's you!

Lan:
Nurse! What's happening in the operating room!?

Nurse:
The operation room devices are still functioning. But the vines are just about
to enter the room!

Lan:
I'll try to do something about the vines!

Nurse:
The Tree of Life's growth system may be malfunctioning!

Lan:
Where is the Tree of Life’s growth system!?

Nurse:
It’s underneath this hospital! The elevator can take you directly to the
basement.

Lan:
OK! I’ll check it out!

(Lan goes to the elevator)

Lan:
.. ... It’s no use! It won’t budge! Of all the times for it to break down...!

(Lan goes back and talks to the nurse)

Lan:
Nurse! The elevator isn’t working! Is there any other way to get to the
basement!?

Nurse:
Yes! From outside! There’s a door to the basement on the outside! The door
next to the elevator is an emergency exit. Go down to the lobby and try to
find a way out!

Lan:
The emergency exit!

(Lan finds the emergency exit)

Lan:
This must be it! What the!? It won’t open!

MegaMan:
Lan! It looks like it’s electronically locked! I’ll go see what I can do! Jack
me in!

Lan:
Jack In. MegaMan, execute!

(MegaMan enters to Hosp comp)

MegaMan:
So this is the hospital’s computer... It looks strange.

Lan:
Hurry and unlock the emergency exit’s security lock!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(There are trees blocking MegaMan's path, but he finds a program)

Program:
This is terrible!! A sudden outbreak of digiplants has caused the hospital
computers to stop working!!

MegaMan:
So, I can restart the systems by removing the digiplants?

Program:
I think so... So you’re going to help us by removing them!?

MegaMan:
Yes. If you know how it can be done.

Program:
The digiplants can be removed using my "EngyChng", I think. It can be used to
change BattleChips into power. If a "fire" chip is converted, you can shoot
fire, which should burn away the digiplants. To do this, load the "EngyChng"
into yourself, and then press the A Button when on or in front of a digiplant.
The "EngyChng" will then execute. Changed BattleChip will be used up, so
please be careful...  I’m counting on you.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got a Navi Customizer program: "EngyChng"!!

Program:
Please try it out in front of that tree.

MegaMan:
Thanks! OK, Lan. Let’s go!!

(MegaMan eventually finds the control panel after burning down tons of trees)

MegaMan:
It looks like the control panel for the emergency exit! If we can restore this
to normal... ... Aaah!! A virus shot out of the control panel!!

(MegaMan fights the virus and wins, duh!)

MegaMan:
Lan! I fixed the emergency exit system! Let’s look for a way out!

Lan:
All right!

(MegaMan jacks out, Lan goes down to the 1st floor but vines block his way
out so Lan goes to the 2nd floor and goes to Yai‘s old room)

Lan:
This window’s open. This is the second floor. And the ocean is below.

MegaMan:
Lan, you can’t!

Lan:
Oh yes I can! This is an emergency! There’s no time to hesitate! Bombs away!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(Scene goes black)

Lan:
Aaaaaahhhh!!

Game Narrator:
Splaaaash!

(The screen shows making to shore)

Lan:
Huff, huff... We made it to the shore! MegaMan! Are you OK?

MegaMan:
Yeah, I’m fine! Thanks to  dad’s "PET Case", I didn’t feel a thing! Come on!
Let’s find that entrance to the basement!

Lan:
Right!

(Lan finds the door to the basement)

MegaMan:
It’s locked! Let’s get a key from someone.

(Lan finds a nurse in the hospital)

Nurse:
What! The key to the basement!? Yes, I do have it, but...

Lan:
Please! I just want to borrow it  I can jack into the growth system from the
basement!

Nurse:
Yes, but... ... OK, I’ve decided! There’s nothing I can do, anyway... It’s up
to you! Stop that tree from causing more damage!

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "BsmntKey"!!

(Lan goes back to the door and goes in)

Lan:
Look at these vines!

Megaman:
This must be causing all the trouble. Lan! Jack me in!

Lan:
Hold on, Mamoru! All right, MegaMan!

(Lan goes to jack MegaMan in)

Lan:
Jack i...

Game Narrator:
Whirrrrr!

MegaMan:
Wait! The elevator’s moving!

Lan:
How? It was just broken a moment ago!

Game Narrator:
hirrr! Ding-Dong!

(Anetta comes out of the elevator)

Anetta:
I can’t seem to find that TetraCode  Where could it be? Hey! You! What are you
doing!?

(Anetta comes over to Lan)

Anetta:
Hey! Just what do you think you’re doing!?

Lan:
What? I came to root out these vines all over the hospital!

Anetta:
You mean these vines that I so carefully grew? You must be a Net society
spy... Aren’t you!?

Lan:
A Net society spy? What are you talking about? Whatever. Just put a stop to
those vines!

Anetta:
OK! Right! Sure! You think I’m so dumb I’ll listen to a Net society spy? This
hospital deserves to be destroyed!

Lan:
My friend is in the middle of an operation! If these vines don’t stop, he
could die!

Anetta:
Some sacrifices must be made to preserve Mother Nature. That’s what Wily
always says!

Lan:
Wily!? So you work for the WWW!

Anetta:
That’s right! The WWW will destroy the Net society! It’s the only way to
preserve nature!

Lan:
Preserve nature!? Yeah, right! Wily’s just using you!

Game Narrator: Bleep!

PlantMan:
Anetta, do not be fooled. Lord Wily warned us, "Net society people are all
liars."

Anetta:
I know, PlantMan! I won’t let this kid fool me!

MegaMan:
Wily has her totally brainwashed! Lan, she won’t listen to a word we say!

Anetta:
PlantMan! Sprout out some more vines, OK? I’m gonna look around some more for
the TetraCode.

(Anetta starts to leave)

Lan:
Stop right there!

Anetta:
The vines are spreading. If you don’t stop PlantMan... Your friend will be in
trouble!

(Anetta walks off)

Lan:
MegaMan, she’s right! We have to jack in!

MegaMan:
OK!

Lan:
Jack in!  MegaMan, execute!

(Lan jacks MegaMan in)

Lan:
We’ve got to help Mamoru! Hurry and find PlantMan!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan finds his way through the Hospital comp and finds PlantMan)

PlantMan:
Anetta. The TetraCode is hidden in the operating room program. I’m heading
there now. And don’t worry. Just do everything I tell you...

MegaMan:
PlantMan!

PlantMan:
You must be MegaMan. You have sharp, spotless eyes, pure as budding new leaves
and bursting with life. You’re as flawless as your reputation.

MegaMan:
PlantMan! Stop those vines from spreading!

PlantMan:
I’m sorry, but I don’t have time for you now. I must enter the operating room
program and steal the TetraCode.

MegaMan:
Enter the operating room program!? If you do that, Mamoru will... I won’t
allow it! I’m going to stop you right now!

Lan:
Get him, MegaMan!

PlantMan:
Young and foolish. You will live longer if you learn to be more relaxed, like
the giant trees of the forest.

MegaMan:
Here I come, PlantMan!

PlantMan:
Very well... Come, my servants! Bring me MegaMan’s head!

(PlantMan sends viruses at MegaMan and after MegaMan destroys them PlantMan is
gone)

MegaMan:
Where’s PlantMan!? Looks like he ran away! Lan! Let’s hurry back to the
operating room!

Lan:
Right! Jacking out!

(Lan goes to the operating room and bangs on the door)

Game Narrator:
Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lan:
Mamoru!  Mamoru!

Doctor:
Who’s there!?

Lan:
How’s Mamoru! Is he alright!?

Doctor:
The surgery equipment suddenly stopped working! The lock on this door won’t
open. We’re stuck inside! If we don’t do something soon, Mamoru could die!

Lan:
!! Is there anything I can do to help?

Doctor:
Do you see the control panel on the side of this door? It’s connected to this
operating room! If you can jack into it and remove the bug... We may be able
to continue with the operation!

Lan:
I’ll see what I can do!

MegaMan:
PlantMan probably did this! Let’s hurry, Lan!

Lan:
ack In! MegaMan, execute!

(Lan jacks MegaMan in)

MegaMan:
Lan! This place is crawling with digivines too!

Lan:
PlantMan! MegaMan! Mamoru’s life is depending on us! Hurry!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan eventually finds PlantMan again)

PlantMan:
You've come at last, MegaMan. I have already obtained the TetraCode.

MegaMan:
What TetraCode?

PlantMan:
If you don't know, allow me to fill you in. The TetraCode is the key that will
unlock the demise of the Net. There are 4 TetraCodes. When combined, "The
Beast" shall awaken.

MegaMan:
The Beast...? So the WWW was after the TetraCode all along!

PlantMan:
Precisely! Enough chit-chat. I have work to attend to. Namely... Your
deletion, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Lan!  He's coming!

Lan:
We can handle him!

PlantMan:
I shall enjoy plucking the petals from the wilting flower that is your life!

Lan:
Let's go, MegaMan!  Battle routine, set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

PlantMan:
PlantMan! Treacherous Bloom!

(MegaMan goes into battle with PlantMan and wins)

PlantMan:
MegaMan... S...so powerful... However...the WWW has already acquired 3 of the
TetraCodes. Just one more... Once we get that final TetraCode... The Beast...
Alpha... Will arise!

MegaMan:
Alpha!?

PlantMan:
..Aghh!! This...This is the end... Farewell, MegaMan. It is time to bloom!
Bright flower of the Cyberworld!...!! Aaaaaagh!

(PlantMan explodes)

MegaMan:
Alpha... What kind of beast is he?

Lan:
MegaMan! Hurry! The operating system!

MegaMan:
Right!

(MegaMan fixes the system)

MegaMan:
.. ... Done!

MegaMan:
Lan! I've fixed the system! Now they should be able to continue the
operation... Oh, no!!

(The system dies)

Lan:
MegaMan! What is it!?

MegaMan:
The operating system isn't functioning properly! It looks like it's out of
energy!

Lan:
Nurse! Nurse! The operating room door is unlocked!

Nurse:
Yes, but the surgery equipment isn't functioning  Mamoru won't last very much
longer!

MegaMan:
Lan! Transfer my energy to the operating system!

Lan:
But if I do that, you'll...

MegaMan:
I can't just sit and watch a kid have to suffer my fate! Here I go! Energy
Release mode... Activate!!

(MegaMan grabs the system and starts to transfer his energy to it)

MegaMan:
Nnggh! K-Kcckk! Gaaaaaaaah!! Ppphhh... ... ... ... ... ...

(MegaMan lets go and falls down)

Lan:
MegaMan!

Nurse:
The equipment is working again!

MegaMan:
L...Lan...

(MegaMan starts to stand)

Lan:
MegaMan! You crazy fool! The operating system is working again!

MegaMan:
It worked...

Lan:
MegaMan, Jack out!

(MegaMan jacks out and the screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
Three hours after the operation resumed... Mamoru's surgery finished.

The screen shows a doctor, a nurse, and in Mamoru's room)

Lan:
Doctor! Mamoru will be fine, right!?

Doctor:
The operation would have been flawless, if we hadn't had that incident... But
now we need to wait for him to wake up...

(The doctor and nurse leave the room)

Lan:
Oh, no...

MegaMan:
Lan, the surgeon did everything he could. We have to just have faith in
Mamoru, and wait.

Lan:
Yeah. You're right.

MegaMan:
I'm sure he'll wake up soon.

Lan:
I hope so.

(The screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
Five hours later...

Mamoru:
L. n... . eg..M...

MegaMan:
Lan! Wake up! Wake up! Now's no time to sleep! Mamoru's coming around!

Lan:
Unghnngh... Just 5 more minutes... What!? Really, MegaMan!?

MegaMan:
Really! Quick! Call the doctor!

Lan:
All right! Nurse!!

(The screen show the doctor, nurse, and Lan in the room again)

Doctor:
For now it appears the operation was a success. We'll have to keep him in the
hospital for awhile to observe him. But if everything goes well, it looks like
he can go home.

Lan:
Really!? That's great!!

MegaMan:
That's great! That's really great!! Hey, Lan! Mamoru's trying to say
something!

Mamoru:
Y-you know... During the surgery... I...I had a dream. I could hear Lan
calling my name... Then I was surrounded by a blue light... There was a boy
I'd never seen before in the light... He looked just like Lan... He kept
saying "Don't give up! You can beat this!"

Lan:
I see...

Mamoru:
Lan... And MegaMan... Thank you...

Lan:
You don't need to thank us! Just remember! You promised to NetBattle me after
you got out of here!

Mamoru:
Yeah!

Lan:
Well, MegaMan. Now that Mamoru's fine, we should head home.

MegaMan:
Right!

Lan:
All right, Mamoru. We'll come again!

Wily:
It's been a while.

???:
How dare you contact me directly, human?

Wily:
I see your despise of mankind has not changed. However, do you remember our
little agreement? In exchange for giving you the power to terrorize humans...
you will assist me in accomplishing my goal.

???:
.. ...

Wily:
Hee hee hee! The time has almost arrived to implement Cybergeddon! I just
thought you should know.

???:
So you will awaken Alpha...

Wily:
Yes, but first I must obtain the final TetraCode. I may need to employ your
services in the near future. I will contact you again when the time comes.

Game Narrator:
Voomp! Zzhzhhhzhhh...

(Wily's partners disconnects)

Wily:
Hee hee hee! Only one more TetraCode remains, but with him at my side... It
won't matter anyway! destruction of the Net society is nearly at hand!
Muwahahahahahaha!

(The screen goes black then shows Lan, Mayl, and Yai in ACDC park)

Mayl:
It's been a week since Dex moved, but when we all get together like this, it
still seems like he'll show up.

Yai:
It's hard to believe that he's really gone.

Lan:
If I know Dex, he'll come visit us soon enough. I'm sure he's having a blast
in his new town.

Yai:
Yeah! And besides... Netopia is only a few hours away by my private jet!

Ms. Mari: Oh! There you are! Lan!

(Ms. Mari walks up)

Ms. Mari:
Lan, I've been looking for you!

Lan:
What is it, Ms. Mari?

Ms. Mari:
Lan, I heard you resolved that WWW incident at the hospital. The said you'd be
receiving a commendation! Me? A commendation?  Really?

Mayl:
Way to go, Lan!

Yai:
It’s not easy to get a commendation.

Ms. Mari:
They want to hold an awards ceremony for you at SciLab.

Lan:
An awards ceremony...? At SciLab!? C’mon MegaMan, let’s go!

(Lan starts to head toward the SciLab)

Ms. Mari:
Lan, wait! There’s something I want to tell you.

Lan:
Huh? What is it, Ms. Mari?

Ms. Mari:
When I heard about the awards ceremony, I was both happy and frightened.
Everything worked out fine, which is wonderful, but if it hadn’t... Lan, being
awarded is a true honor and I’m proud of you. But please promise me you won’t
ever risk your own life. Do you understand what I’m saying?

Lan:
I understand. I’m sorry I made you worry.

Ms. Mari:
OK, so long as you understand. Now then  Get on over to the awards ceremony!

Lan:
All right! See you later!

(Lan is about to enter the SciLab, but he runs into the man who helped him
with the Press program)

Man:
Well, hello again!

Lan:
My name is Lan! Thank you for your help the other day!

Man:
No, I didn't do much...

Lan:
But you did!  Thanks to you, I could help a lot of people.

Man:
Ha ha ha!  Well, I appreciate your thanks, then.

Lan:
Do you work here at SciLab?

Man:
..No, I just came by to check some things out.

Lan:
Oh, darn.  I thought you might know my father!

Man:
Ha ha ha! Do I look like a scientist?

Lan:
Well, MegaMan told me that when you worked on the "PresData" that you had an
amazing programming technique...

Man:
Well, I used to do some programming when I was younger. Nothing fancy. But
don't you need to run along? I assume that you had some business here
yourself?

Lan:
Oh, that's right! I came to get a commendation! Guess I'd better get going!
Oh, yeah! Could you tell me your name? You helped me, but I don't even know
what your name is!

Man:
My name isn't really important. I'm sure we'll meet again. Now, you need to
get going!

(Lan goes to his commendation)

Lan:
Dad!

Dad:
Oh, Lan! You're here! We've all been waiting for you!

(A worker comes up)

Worker:
The man of honor has arrived. Let the ceremony begin.

(The screen shows an offical reading the commendation)

Official:
Ahem! Award recipient Lan Hikari! For outstanding service to our community and
saving numerous lives by defending the hospital against the WWW's attack, we
present you with this commendation and our eternal appreciation. Well done,
son!

( The official hands the commendation to Lan)

Lan:
Thank you!

Official:
We received a phone call from the hospital. The boy who was undergoing surgery
during the WWW's attack is recovering well. He says he'd like you to pay him a
visit.

Lan:
That's great news! Let's stop by the hospital on the way home, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Yeah, sound's great!

Dad:
Lan, I'm proud of you. But don't make your father worry, OK?

Lan:
OK...

Scientist #1:
Come now, Dr. Hikari. You're lucky to have such a brave boy. Lan, well done!
You saved a lot of lives! We're all proud of you!

Scientist #2:
That's true! You're the hero of ACDC Town!

Lan:
A hero? Wow, I'm a hero... Cool!  Ha ha!

MegaMan:
There you go again, letting it get to your head...! The ceremony's over. Let's
get over to the hospital!

MegaMan:
All right, already! Well dad, I'm going to the Seaside Hospital now. I'll see
you later!

Dad:
OK, be careful!

Lan:
(Ha! I’m a hero!)

(Lan exits the Virus Lab)

Lan:
Did you hear that, MegaMan? I’m the hero of ACDC Town! Hearing that makes me
all pumped up! Bring it on, WWW! The superhero of ACDC Town is ready for you!
I feel like I could take on the world!

MegaMan:
Lan, if you get too overconfident... You’ll wind up getting hurt.

(Lan starts to leave the SciLab)

Lan:
Ha! Not me! I’m a hero! I can take on any... Huh? Hey! It’s that guy!

(The screen show Mr. Match, from MMBN 1, standing at the front counter)

Lan:
Match!

Match:
Who dares address me that way!? It’s "MISTER Match"! ... ... Oh.  It’s you.
Long time no see, kid.

Lan:
"Long time no see"!?  Just what are you up to here!?

Match:
Hey, now just calm down. I left the WWW a long time ago. I’m a model citizen
now, man! In fact, I’m gonna have SciLab help me out.

Lan:
What!? Help you out? SciLab!?

Match:
Yeah, I’m gonna work there. After leaving the WWW, I changed my ways big time!
I got my act together, determined I would help the world, and everyone in it!

Lan:
What!? You expect me to buy that?

Match:
Hey, man, don’t look at me that way! I’m speaking from my heart! Just check
out these eyes! The flame of justice burns bright in my pupils! See for
yourself!

Lan:
Hmmmm...

(A scientist walks up)

Scientist:
Lan!  Can you lend us a hand? The WWW’s back again! They’re wreaking havoc in
Yoka 2!

Lan:
Match! don’t tell me you...!

Match:
You still doubt me? I swear, I’ve got nothing to do with this! Stop eyeing me
and hurry up and jack into the Net!

MegaMan:
Lan, Yoka 2 takes priority! Quick, let’s go!

Lan:
Something smells fishy to me... You’re right, though. We’ve got to hurry!

(Lan goes and jacks in and finds the navi)

Navi #1:
Tsk, tsk! You'd better be careful, kid! Wander around the Internet alone and
one of the WWW's Navis might delete ya! How do I know? I'm a WWW Navi! Ha ha
ha! Now I'm gonna delete you! YAAAAAH!

(MegaMan deletes him and finds a second navi)

Navi #2:
Yo, you, yo!!! I'm a super-evil-nasty-awful WWW Navi! Hah! Come any closer,
and you'll get hurt! Ooops! Too late!!

(MegaMan deletes him, too)

MegaMan:
Lan! I beat the WWW Navis!

Lan:
Good job, MegaMan!

Game Narrator:
Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
You got mail! It's from Mr. Match! I wonder what he wants? It says, "Now the
WWW is terrorizing the beach area! Hurry! All I can do is direct you, but I'm
rooting for you!". It looks like Mr. Match really has changed!

Lan:
I hope you're right, MegaMan. Come on, to the Beach area!

(MegaMan finds one of the navis)

Navi #1:
I’m in the WWW! La-la-laaaaa! Huh!? Were you laughing at my song just now!?
I’ll teach you to laugh at the WWW! C’mere, you!

(MegaMan delets the navi and finds the second one)

Navi #2:
Hmm? Who the heck are you!? So you’re looking for a WWW Navi? I know where a
WWW Navi is... Closer than you think! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

(MegaMan deletes him and finds a third navi)

Navi #3:
Yo, I’m no WWW Navi!! You got a problem, huh!?  Who do you think yer lookin’
at!? You want a piece of me?

(MegaMan deletes the third navi)

MegaMan:
We did it, Lan!

Lan:
Looks like The WWW is coming out in the open, now...

Game Narrator:
Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
Lan, You got mail from Mr. Match again! It says, "Now the WWW has entered
SciLab1! The Officials are having a hard time. My former WWW instinct tells me
they must be up to something. Hurry over here!".

Lan:
What could the WWW be up to? Come on, MegaMan! We’ve got to get to SciLab 1!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan finds the navi)

Navi:
What is it, boy? You know I’m a WWW Navi, right? I’m pretty darn scary! Hee
hee... Just looking at you makes me wanna delete you...! Here I come!
Muwahahaha!!!

(MegaMan deletes the navi, and the navi begins to blow up)

Navi:
I’m only the tip of the iceberg... New assassins will be following
me...Gaaaaaaah!

(The navi blows up)

MegaMan:
He was pretty tough! I wonder what the WWW was up to?

Lan:
Yeah, these attacks didn’t seem well planned... !! MegaMan! Behind you!

(Three navis come in behind MegaMan)

MegaMan:
Gasp!

Navi:
How dare you delete my buddy? I assure you, the 3 of us combined won’t fall so
easily! In fact, in the condition you’re in, you haven’t got a chance! Prepare
for deletion!

Lan:
Oh, no!

Match:
I can’t believe it takes 3 of you to battle a little kid! The WWW just isn’t
what it used to be.

Navi:
Huh? Who’s there!?

(The navis are looking around)

Match:
Since you asked, allow us to introduce ourselves. We’re former WWW members!
Mr. Match and FlameMan!

(FlameMan comes in behind the navis)

Navi:
Mr. Match? The WWW boss that defected!? You traitor!

Match:
Heheheh! A traitor? So what if I am! Burn them, FlameMan! FireBreath!

(FlameMan burns the navis)

FlameMan:
Waaaaaaaaah!!

Navis:
Aaaaaaah! I’m on fire! I’m burning! Aaaaaaah!!

(The navis blow up)

MegaMan:
Thanks for saving us! I’m MegaMan! Nice to meet you!

FlameMan:
Whraah!

MegaMan:
It looks like you’re really on our side, Mr. Match!

Match:
What? You still doubted me? Will you believe me now?

Lan:
Of course! Your Navi is powerful, to beat 3 enemies at once!

Match:
Well, I am an expert customizer! It’s all in the thermal power!

MegaMan:
Lan, let’s go say thanks to Mr. Match in person! Jack me out!

Match:
You don’t have to thank me again. So long as we’re friends, I’m happy. Well,
I’d better get back to work.

(FlameMan jacks out)

Game Narrator:
Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! What’s this? It doesn’t say who it’s from... "come to ACDC
square immediately. I’m in front of the BBS." I wonder who sent this? It may
have been sent by mistake, but we ought to go just in case. It sounds urgent.

Lan:
Anonymous mail... It sounds a little shady, but let’s go check it out.

(MegaMan goes in front of the ACDC square BBS)

MegaMan:
Are you the one who sent me that mail?

Navi:
MegaMan, I presume. Thank you for coming. I watched you at the N1 Grand Prix.
You were most impressive. (As I suspected this Navi has amazing potential...I
expect he could even handle...)

MegaMan:
Well? Why did you call me here?

Navi:
Do you know an individual at SciLab by the name of "Match"?

MegaMan:
You mean Mr. Match?

Navi:
Yes. You should be wary of him. He has the scent of danger about him.

MegaMan:
Scent of danger?

Navi:
That is all I have to tell you. I am sure we will meet again in the near
future. Farewell!

(The navi jacks out)

MegaMan:
Hey Lan. Who was that guy?

Lan:
I have no idea. Whoever he was, he seemed far more suspicious than Mr. Match.
Besides, Mr. Match has mended his ways! There’s nothing to worry about!

MegaMan:
Yeah, you’re probably right...

Lan:
We’ve lost a lot of time. Come on, let’s go to the hospital.

MegaMan:
Right!

(MegaMan jacks out and goes to Mamoru's room)

Mamoru:
Oh, Lan! You came to see me!!

Lan:
Hi, Mamoru! You're looking well!

Mamoru:
Yep! I've been feeling much better lately. The doctors told me that I'll be
able to go home soon.

Lan:
Wow! That's great!!

Mamoru:
It's all thanks to you, Lan.

Lan:
No way! You helped yourself, Mamoru.

Mamoru:
Heh, heh! Thanks, Lan!! This is to say thanks for what you did for me.

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "HospCode"!!

Mamoru:
Lan, you saved my life!

(Lan leaves Mamoru's room)

MegaMan:
Mamoru looked like he was doing really well!

Lan:
Yeah! At this rate, he can probably go home soon!

MegaMan:
We'll have to throw him a party!

Mr.Match:
Visiting a friend? Our hero is busy, I see.

Lan:
Mr. Match! What are you doing here?

Mr. Match:
I have a small favor to ask you.

Lan:
A favor to ask me? What is it?

Mr. Match:
I was told to install a program in the SciLab system. But I'm not exactly sure
how to do it. Can you help me?

Lan:
You were given this job to do, right? So shouldn't you do it by yourself?

Mr. Match:
Hmph! Some "hero" you are! The man who saves your life asks you a favor, and
that's your answer? "Do it yourself"? I see you like being appreciated, but
not appreciating others.

Lan:
Oooooh! ... ... Okay! I'll do it! I'm not going to stand by and let you talk
to me that way! I'll help you, but after this we're even!

Mr. Match:
Heh heh! I knew I could count on you, hero of ACDC! I'll go make some
preparations. Meet me in the Virus Lab. I'll be waiting!

MegaMan:
I get the feeling Mr. Match just played you.

Lan:
What!? You expect me to let him get away with saying all that!? Let's just
hurry to the Virus Lab and get this over with.

(Lan goes to the Virus Lab)

Mr. Match:
There you are, Lan! Well, let's get right to work... First, ...take this to
the Program in SciLab 1.

Lan:
All right, I'm back! That's it, right?

Mr. Match:
Thanks a lot, Lan! Now for the lobby vending machine.

Lan:
What? Another one?

Mr. Match:
We're almost done. Hurry up and finish, please!

MegaMan:
The lobby vending machine is next. We promised. Let's go!

Lan:
Yeah, yeah.

Mr. Match:
Here's the next one. Take it to the vending machine. Just give it to the
Program in there. Thanks! Heh heh...

Lan:
We're done, Mr. Match.

Mr. Match:
Well done! Now for the next one.

Lan:
Huh? You mean there's more?

Mr. Match:
Don't talk like that. This is the last one! Next is your pop's research lab.
Hurry along, now.

Lan:
Aw, man...

Mr. Match:
Here's the last one. Take this to the Program in the computer, and install it
into him. Fantastic. That's the last of them! You've been great. Look, here's
a little something for your effort.

Game Narrator:
Mr. Match took out chip for "LavaStage T"!!

Lan:
I don't need any payment. This makes us even!

Mr. Match:
I'm not out to put you in my debt again, Lan! This is just my way of saying
"thank you". What? You're too good for my thanks now?

Lan:
No, that's not what I meant! Oh, all right! I'll take it! All right, we're
leaving now.

Mr. Match:
Thanks a lot, Lan! I have one more thing to do here, so I'll see you later!
Now then, time to begin. Heh heh heh heh!

(Mr. Match leaves and Lan goes home and the screen shows the SciLab)

Game Narrator:
By the time Lan got home, the SciLab was in serious trouble...

Man:
Don't you think it's unusually hot today?

Official:
Is the air conditioner broken?

Game Narrator:
Clunk! KaClunkClunk! Beeeep!!

Man:
What in the...!?

Game Narrator:
Clunk! KaClunkClunk! ClunkClunkClunk!

Official:
Maybe it's broken? Ow! This vending machine's burning hot!

Man:
I'll jack in and see what's going on.

Official:
Be careful!

Man:
Fire!

Official:
Someone! Help!

Man:
Ah!! It's boiling in here!

Official:
What happened!?

Scientist:
Huff... Huff... Hurry, evacuate! For some reason the computer suddenly started
smoking! The heat from the computer got into the air duct, heating the entire
building!

Woman:
If the temperature continues to rise, the computer may explode! Hurry!
evacuate the building!

Official:
The computer may explode from the heat!? This isn't happening! What can we
do!?

Scientist:
Nothing! We can't even get near the computer, let alone jack into it!

Man #2:
Oh no...!  If we don’t do something quick, SciLab will be destroyed!

(The screen show Dad's lab)

Scientist:
Huff...Huff...Dr. Hikari! It’s no use! Let’s get out of here! The room
temperature is over 120 degrees! The computer’s about to spit flame!

Dad:
There’s evidence that some data has been altered... What the!? This is no
mere computer malfunction! Someone has actually sabotaged the system!

Scientist:
You mean this wasn’t an accident?

Dad:
No! This was a calculated assault  Hurry! Run to safety!

Scientist:
What about you, Dr. Hikari!?

Dad:
I’ve got to retrieve the back-up data! If the SciLab system is destroyed, all
of Electopia will be in chaos! I must do whatever I can to prevent that! Leave
this to me! You! Hurry out!

(The scientist continues to work)

Dad:
What are you doing!?

Scientist:
I’m not leaving you. I’m a scientist too. I’m ready to give my life to protect
SciLab!

Dad:
.. ... Thank you! Huff...Huff... Now the question is... Can we last as long
as it takes to get the back-up data...?

(A man and women enter the room)

Man #2:
Huff...Huff... Dr. Hikari, we’ll help too!

Woman:
The more there are, the faster we can finish! You guys... All right. Let’s
hurry up and get that data!

(The screen shows Lan)

Game Narrator:
Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail  Hmm? An emergency news flash? ... ... Oh no!  Lan!!

Lan:
What? Is something wrong?

MegaMan:
Th-this mail! It says, "A fire has just occurred at SciLab. At present the
fire is localized, but the internal temperature is 160 degrees and rising.
Ten scientists have been hospitalized."

Lan:
.. ... ... No... this has got to be some kind of mistake...Dad...! MegaMan!
We’ve got to get over to SciLab!

MegaMan:
Right!

(Lan goes to the SciLab but a man is blocking the door)

Lan:
Sir! Where's my dad!? Is he all right!?

Man:
You're Dr. Hikari's...

Lan:
Where is he!?

Man:
.. ...He's, uh...well...

Lan:
No...!

Man:
He's still in his lab...

Lan:
Why hasn't anyone gone to save him!? In that heat, dad'll...he'll...

Man:
I know. Believe me, we want to... But it's too hot to even send a rescue time
inside.

Lan:
No...

Game Narrator: Briiiiing!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got a phone call!

Match:
Hey there, Lan! How's the SciLab? Is it hot enough for you!?

Lan:
Match! You're behind all this! You've been lying all along about having changed
your evil ways!

Match:
You were a big help! Thanks to you my operation went perfectly! Hahahaha!

Lan:
I helped you... No!! No, I couldn't have! I would never help the WWW!

Match:
Oh, but you have. Face the facts! You're the reason why the sciLab is facing
this crisis!

Lan:
I'm the reason...?

MegaMan:
You big coward... You won't get away with this!

Match:
Heh heh heh! That's it, let your hate flare up!  It will only serve to feed my
hungry flames!! Hya-ha-ha-ha!  ou know, I never dreamed you'd be so gullible!
What a sucker! Do you know why those WWW Navis appeared all over the Net?

MegaMan:
..No!!

Match:
Because I put them there! Heh heh heh! Children are so naive... So much fun to
dupe!

Lan:
Grrrr...!

Match:
Yes, I deceived you, but it was you two who perpetrated this crime. Accept it.
You're one of us!

Lan: N-no... I can't be!

Match:
Now then, Lan. Are you up for a little game?

Lan:
A...game?

Match:
I will now send out FlameMan to set the whole Net ablaze. If you can put out
all the fires, I'll allow you to fight FlameMan. If you win, I'll put out the
flames at SciLab. If you don't hurry, everyone inside will be burned to ash!

MegaMan:
Lan, it doesn't look like we have any choice.

Lan:
I can't let dad and everyone die because of what I did! ... ... All right,
Match. I'll play your game.

Match:
Heh heh! The heat is on!! Go, FlameMan! Turn the Net into an ocean of flame!
Fire!!!!!

FlameMan:
Whraaaaaah!

Lan:
How are we going to put out the flames? Do we have anything that we could use,
MegaMan?

MegaMan:
We need water to extinguish fire... Hey! How about that one program!? If it can
produce fire, it might produce water!

Lan:
That program...

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

DNN Email:
"Fire alert! - A giant fire has swept through the Internet, causing extreme
damage. It continues to burn with no end in sight. General use Navis should
jack out immediately.

(Lan jacked in MegaMan and extinguished all the flames in ACDC)

Game Narrator:
Briiiiing!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got a phone call!

Match:
Very impressive! You have extinguished all the fires in the ACDC area! Heh
heh! Things are heating up!

Game Narrator:
Click! Boop! Boop! Boop...

Lan:
You just wait, Match! We’re coming for you!!

(MegaMan extinguished all the flames in SciLab)

Game Narrator:
Briiiiing!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got a phone call!

Match:
Whooo! You’ve put out all the flames in the SciLab area! Not bad! Heh heh heh!

Game Narrator:
Click! Boop! Boop! Boop...

Lan:
I’m gonna get that trash-talking Match...!

(MegaMan extinguished all the flames in Yoka)

Game Narrator:
Briiiiing!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got a phone call!

Match:
Well done! You’ve put out the fires in the Yoka area. Maybe I’d better start
warming up!

Game Narrator:
Click! Boop! Boop! Boop...

Lan:
C’mon! If we don’t hurry, dad’s going to die!!

(MegaMan extinguished all the flames in Beach)

Game Narrator:
Briiiiing!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got a phone call!

Match:
You’ve put out all the fires in the Beach area. Better hurry! I can smell the
scientists cooking! Heh heh!

Game Narrator:
Click! Boop! Boop! Boop...

Lan:
We can do this, MegaMan!  Come on!

(MegaMan extinguished all the flames in the Net)

Game Narrator:
Briiiiing!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got a phone call!

Match:
I see you’ve managed to put out all the FlameMan’s fires.

Lan:
All right, Match! Where are you!? There’s a battle we have to settle!

Match:
Heh heh heh! Oh, you’ll have your battle! FlameMan’s in Undernet 3! Want to
fight? You’ll have to come to us!

Lan:
Undernet 3, right? You just wait! We’ll be right there!

Match:
Oh, yeah, I’ve got something nice to show you. Check out what’s happening
inside SciLab!

Lan:
What!?

(The screen shows Dad's lab and everyone is laying on the floor)

Match:
This is live footage from the hidden camera I placed in SciLab. What do you
think? Pretty clear, huh?

Lan:
Dad!! Match! I’m going to make you pay for this if it’s the last thing I do!!

Match:
Relax, it looks like pops is still breathing. You’d better hurry though, he
doesn’t look so cold! Ha ha!

Lan:
Hurry, MegaMan! Find FlameMan! He’s in Undernet 3!

MegaMan:
Right!

(MegaMan enters UnderNet 3 and the screen flickers)

MegaMan:
!!

(MegaMan looks around)

MegaMan:
!!

Lan:
What is it, MegaMan? Is something wrong?

MegaMan:
I just sensed something... Some kind of immense power which I've felt
somewhere before.

Lan:
Is it FlameMan?

MegaMan:
No... FlameMan doesn't emit power like this. It's strong enough to penetrate
my very core!

Lan:
Hmm... Well, whatever it is, we don't have time to worry now! Let's keep
going!

MegaMan:
R-Roger!

(MegaMan walks on then...)

MegaMan:
An earthquake!

Game Narrator:
Grkkgrrchkchkk!!

MegaMan:
Whoa! This tremor is massive!

Game Narrator:
Grgrgrrgrgr! Crack!

MegaMan:
Lan! The path tore open! If I had taken one more step, I might have been a
goner!

Lan:
MegaMan! Are you OK? We'll have to head back the way we came and find another
route!

MegaMan:
Right! But... I've never heard of an earthquake in Cyberworld! There must be
some incredible force at work here.

Lan:
An incredible force? I wonder what it could be...

MegaMan:
I don't know. I have no idea what may happen next. Still, we have to find
FlameMan immediately! Come on, Lan! Let's go!

Lan:
Yeah!

(MegaMan goes on and stops again with the feeling)

MegaMan:
!!

Lan:
MegaMan! Now what!?

MegaMan:
Don't you feel it, Lan? Ever since we came into this area...

Lan:
Yeah, there's that immense power, then the earthquake that tore apart the
path...

MegaMan:
No, not that! Like something's watching us... This whole time I've felt
someone's eyes on me...

Lan:
We're being watched... Now's not the time to get spooked, though! Let's find
FlameMan!

MegaMan:
Right!

(MegaMan finds FlameMan)

MegaMan:
There you are, FlameMan! Prepare to battle!

FlameMan:
Whraaah... (You finally came boy.) Whraah... Aaaah. (I will burn you.)
Whraaah... (Then Mr. Match will be happy.)

MegaMan:
ry and burn me if you can!

Mr.Match:
Heh heh heh! The party's started! I'm all fired up! Ok, Lan and MegaMan! Come
and get me!

Lan:
We don't need an invitation! Are you ready, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
I was programmed ready!

Lan:
Let's get him! Battle routine, set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

Mr.Match:
Light up, FlameMan! Burn MegaMan ro ash!

FlameMan:
Whraaaaaaah!!

(MegaMan beats FlameMan... well almost)

FlameMan:
Whraah, Whraaaaaah!

MegaMan:
Huff.. Huff... You won't fall yet? What endurance!

Mr. Match:
FlameMan and I won't be snuffed out so easily! FlameMan! MegaMan's worn out!
Burn him with your FireBreath!

Lan:
If we get hit by his FireBreath now, we'll be in trouble! Evasive maneuvers,
MegaMan!

Mr.Match:
Burn 'em to cinders, MegaMan!

FlameMan:
Whraaaaaah!

MegaMan:
Aaah!!

(MegaMan guards himself, but a voice talks)

???:
I feel the power of the strong...

FlameMan:
Whraa...!?

Mr. Match:
FlameMan! Where are you looking!? This is your chance! Hurry and finish off
MegaMan!

FlameMan:
Whra, whraaaah!

Mr. Match:
What's wrong, FlameMan!?

MegaMan:
Th-this feeling... It's that pressure I've been sensing ever since coming into
this area! Lan! Something's coming! Aa...! Aaaah...!

(Bass floats in from no where)

Bass:
Let us battle... You who emits the power of the strong...

Mr.Match:
You want to fight us!? FlameMan! Take care of this guy first!

FlameMan:
Whrahahahah!

Bass:
Stand aside... You who are weak...

(Bass uses an attack that crushes FlameMan)

MegaMan:
!!

Mr. Match:
Th-this can't be happening... I hand-crafted FlameMan, customizing him myself!
And he's gone? Just like that? What are you!? I'll have to make a strategic
retreat. Blazes!

MegaMan:
How can a Navi possess this much power?

Bass:
The peon is gone... Time now for battle...

MegaMan:
I sense an intense aura that could deflect anything! ... Lan! Here he comes!

(Bass and MegaMan fight, but MegaMan can't even hurt him)

Bass:
I had much higher expectations... I must have made a miscalculation. Time now,
for deletion.

(A navi walks in)

Navi:
At last I have found you, Bass!

Bass:
How is it you know my name? Who are you...?

Navi:
Does the Alpha Rebellion ring any bells?

Bass:
Alpha Rebellion...!! You were sent from SciLab. So there is still a human
after me.

Navi
Bass! I am going to delete you! Indeed, I must delete you!

Bass:
Navi slave to the humans. Do you think you can defeat me?

Navi:
In order to fight you, I of course did not come unprepared. Gather to me,
power of darkness! Haaaaaaaaaaa! DarkAura! Bass! You don an aura yourself, so
you must be aware... The defensive strength of this DarkAura... Far surpasses
that of the LifeAura!

Bass:
An aura of darkness. How impudent...

Navi:
So long as I'm protected by this aura, I could survive even if the entire
Cyberworld was annihilated. In short, you cannot harm me!

Bass:
Hmm. Interesting. I shall enjoy testing out your theory.

Navi:
Be my guest!

Bass:
EarthBreak!

(Bass unleashes all he has on the Navi)

Navi:
Oooof! Huff... Huff... Even wearing the aura, the impact was so powerful...

Bass:
You've managed to withstand my EarthBreak... But will you survive my next
attack?

(Bass is about to attack again when...)

Game Narrator:
Zhzhzhhhzh!

Wily:
Bass, do you hear me? This is Wily. I have just gathered all four TetraCodes.

Bass: Not that feeble-minded idiot again... Hmph. I have matters to attend.
Our confrontation shall have to be postponed. Hear me, operator! I will have
my revenge on the human race!

(Bass leaves)

Navi:
Wha...!! The DarkAura! His power was far more than I had anticipated! If he
had hit me again, I might have been... !! I never suspected Wily and Bass
would be consorting with each other. He also mentioned the TetraCodes! He
can't be planning on awakening that beast Alpha... I thought this boy could
face Bass, but the gap in their powers was far more that expected. Bass. Wily.
Hmm...

(The navi runs off and MegaMan starts to get up)

Game Narrator:
Zh-Zhhzhh... zzhz

Lan:
Me...... an...... ga...n! MegaMan! Are you all right!?

MegaMan:
Uu... uuh...

Lan:
Are you OK!? MegaMan! After you were defeated, I suddenly lost contact!

MegaMan:
..... It looks like someone saved me. Hey! Dad! We have to get back to
SciLab!

(Lan hurryies over to the SciLab)

Lan:
Dad! Dad! Are you alright!?

Dad:
Yes...I think so...

(A man walks up)

Man:
Dr. Hikari! What are you doing here!?

Dad:
Oh. Well, the computer sustained damage during the incident. I needed to
inspect...

Man:
What are you talking about!? You're the one who needs to be inspected! Being
trapped in a room at nearly 200 degrees... Here, I'll check on the system. You
get over to the hospital!

Dad:
Oh... Thank...you...

(The screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
Thump!

Lan:
Daaaaaad!!!

Man:
Someone! Call a doctor! Dr. Hikari collapsed! Hurry!

(The screen shows Lan in hospital)

Lan:
Doctor! Will dad be okay?

Doctor:
If he hadn't arrived here so quickly he might not have been, but he'll live.
What he needs now is a complete rest. I can't believe someone would attack
SciLab. What an age!

(The doctor leaves the room)

Lan:
..It...was all...my fault... The SciLab attack, dad's injury... Everything!!
I thought I was so great being called the hero of ACDC, I helped Match... I
helped the WWW! Sniff!

MegaMan:
Lan...

(Mom exits the elevator)

Mom:
Lan, you should get on home. I'll watch after dad.  I don't think I can come
home tonight, so be sure to lock up.

(Mom leaves)

MegaMan:
Lan... Why don't we go home?

Lan:
.. ...

(Lan goes home and goes to sleep)

(The screen shows Wily in his lab)

Wily:
Finally! I have all of the TetraCodes! All I have to do now is obtain Alpha's
data, and the Net society is over! Hee hee hee! Delete! Delete! Deleeeeete!!!
DrillMan! Come forward, DrillMan!!

DrillMan:
You summoned me, Lord Wily?

Wily:
Yes. I am entrusting the TetraCodes to you. Use your abilities to bring me
Alpha! Failure will not be tolerated!

DrillMan:
Thanks to Mr. Match. SciLab's security is weakened. This will be easier for me
than drilling through plywood!

Wily:
Heh heh. I crafted you well, my Navi of desctruction! Over-confidence can be
costly, however. Stay vigilant!

DrillMan:
Yes, my lord. I will not fail you. Alpha will be yours.

Wily:
Go, then, DrillMan! For the sake of anarchy!

DrillMan:
Deleeete!!

Wily:
Hee hee! My plan is perfect, if I do say so myself! Even if DrillMan should
fail, that other one can always deliver Alpha's data to me. . . Hoo-hoo-hoo!
Enjoy yourself while you can, Net society! The time for my revenge has come!
Deleeeeete!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

(The screen shows Mayl and Yai are standing in ACDC school)

Mayl:
I wonder if Lan's OK. He's been absent for three days.

Yai:
His father is badly injured. He almost died! That's enough to shake up anyone.

Mayl:
Yai, do you want to go to Lan's after school today?

Yai:
Yeah. Two cute girls like us paying a visit... Lan's sure to cheer up!

Mayl:
Right! It's settled then!

(The screen goes black then opens up with Lan laying on his bed in his room)

Lan:
.. ...

MegaMan:
How about we go to school tomorrow?

Lan:
.. ... I don't want to go...

MegaMan:
Everyone's probably worried about you.

Game Narrator:
Ding-dong!

Yai:
Laaaaan! We know you're in there! Mayl and I came to cheer you up!

MegaMan:
See? What did I tell you? Let's let them in.

Lan:
I don't want to see anyone...

MegaMan:
Come on, Lan! They came because they care about you!

Lan:
.. ...

(Lan lets them in)

Yai:
You've been through a lot, Lan.

Mayl:
How's your father doing, Lan?

Lan:
He's a lot better, but mom called and said he needs rest.

Mayl:
Oh... And your mother?

Lan:
She hasn't left dad's side...

Yai:
.. ... Hey, Lan. Come back to school. Everyone's worried about you. They say
you solved that WWW incident, you know! It's hard to celebrate without the
hero in class!

Lan:
.. ...

Mayl:
What is it, Lan?

Yai:
Are you feeling sick?

Lan:
Go home! Both of you!

Mayl:
What's wrong, Lan? Was it something we said?

Lan:
Just leave me alone! Go home!

Yai:
Hey! We came here because we were worried about you!

Lan:
Just forget about me! I'm fine!

Yai:
Fine then! Be that way! Come on, Mayl.  Let's go!

Mayl:
Uh...OK...

(Mayl and Yai leave)

MegaMan:
Don't you think that was a little too much, Lan? I mean I know how you feel,
but they only came because they care!

Lan:
I know, I know...! But I'm no "here". After what I've done... How am I
supposed to show my face at school!?

MegaMan:
How long are you going to sulk? What is done is done! All you can do is to
accept it and make amends. It isn't fair for you too take it out on your
friends!

Game Narrator:
Ding-dong!

MegaMan:
That must be them again. Let's go down and apologize!

(Lan goes and opens the door)

Lan:
I'm sorry for what I said!!

Chaud:
Hmph. Whatever you did, you're talking to the wrong person.

Lan:
Huh? Chaud! What are you doing here!?

Chaud:
I'm here on Official business.

Lan:
No, don't tell me you're here to arrest me...!!

Chaud:
What are you talking about? I'm here to pass on a request from the Officials.

Lan:
What? A request for me from the Officials?

Chaud:
Do you know what the TetraCodes are?

Lan:
TetraCodes...? Aren't they what the WWW has been after? I've heard of them,
but never saw any.

Chaud:
There are 4 codes in all. They are the key to a door.

Lan:
A door?

Chaud:
A door that seals an immensely powerful "Beast" away... The WWW scum want to
use the TetraCodes to awaken the Beast!

Lan:
The Beast? Do you mean that thing called...Alpha?

Chaud:
Yes. I have not been informed about who exactly Alpha is. Only a select few
Officials know that information. However, one thing is for certain. If Alpha
is awakened, the Net society will be annihilated.

Lan:
So the WWW's hit the school, the zoo, the hospital, and now SciLab. That
means... They have all 4 TetraCodes!

Chaud:
Yes. The Net society is on the brink. But we have one last resort to put an
end to WWW's threat.

Lan:
A last resort?

Chaud:
Yes. The Forbidden program. It can freeze Alpha. According to our sources,
that program is in the Undernet. It's reported that a Navi named "S" is in
possession of it.

Lan:
Let me guess. The Officials want me to locate this guy S, get the Forbidden
Program, and bring it back, right? If you know so much, why don't you just do
it yourself, Chaud?

Chaud:
ProtoMan and I are too well-know as Officials. The denizens of the Undernet
despise us. You, however...

Lan:
Yeah, but isn't this the Officials' job? Sorry, Chaud, but I can't help you
out.

Chaud:
Well, it is a dangerous mission. But...

Lan:
That's not it. You really want to know? Fine. I'll tell you! You know how
ciLab was sabotaged? It happened because I stupidly helped Match.

Chaud:
.. ...

Lan:
I didn't realize it then, but I helped out the WWW! I don't have the right to
take on a mission from the Officials...

Chaud:
Stop talking! If you  tell me any more, I'll have to arrest you as an
Official.

Lan:
Chaud...

Chaud:
Lan, go visit your father in the hospital. If you change your mind later, come
to the Virus Lab at SciLab. About what you just told me...I never heard it. I
owe you that much for what you did for me.

(Chaud leaves)

Lan:
Chaud...

MegaMan:
Lan, let's go see dad.

Lan:
..OK.

(Lan goes to Dad's room and finds Sean, the former leader of Gospel, talking
with Dad)

Dad:
So wily used you to form the netmafia syndicate Gospel? Is that right, Sean?

Sean:
Yes, that's true. I'd lost both my parents in a plane crash. I was
totally devastated. I spent my days in the Cyberworld, as an escape from
reality. One day on the Net, I was approached by an unfamiliar Navi.

Dad:
And that Navi was operated by Wily?

Sean:
Probably... Anyway, the Navi asked me, "Would you like to rule Cyberworld"?
Fed up with the real world, I started doing whatever the Navi told me, without
question.

Dad:
I see. Then what?

Sean:
I expanded the syndicate as ordered and commanded others to commit crimes.
That's when the Navi told me to build it.

Dad:
"It"? What did he tell you to build?

Sean:
The ultimate Navi...Bass. He said an ultimate Navi was necessary in order to
rule over all of Cyberworld.

Game Narrator:
Thump!

Dad:
..Is someone there!?

(Lan walks in)

Lan:
Sorry! I didn't mean to eavesdrop!

Sean:
Lan!

Lan:
You're looking good, Sean!

Dad:
Let's talk more some other time. OK, Sean?

Sean:
OK. I'd better get going. See you, Lan.

Lan:
Oh... You're going already?

Sean:
Yeah, I have to go to SciLab now. I'll see you around!

(Sean leaves)

Dad:
Sean was the former kingpin of the netmafia, Gospel. Ever since Gopel's
collapse, he's been going to various places almost every day, sharing what he
knows with others. He's trying his best to make amends for the crimes he's
committed by helping us with our investigation of the WWW.

Lan:
Sean's making up... For the crimes he's committed...?  (All I'm doing is
turning inward in guilt & self-pity.)

Dad:
Hm? Is something wrong, Lan?

Lan:
Dad... There's something I have to tell you.

(Lan tells him what happend)

Dad:
Lan, you did the right thing, telling me this.

Lan:
I'm so sorry...

Dad:
You made a major mistake. But you can't dwell on it forever. Like Sean, you
should do your best to make amends for the mistake you made. If you can't do
that, all you'll have left is regret.

Lan:
Dad... I'll do it! I'll do everything I can! I've got to make up for what I've
done!

Dad:
That's my boy! Never give up, Lan!

Lan:
MegaMan! Let's go to SciLab!

MegaMan:
You mean to see Chaud!?

Lan:
Right!  See you later, dad!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! SciLab Mail: "Virus breeder" - Development of the "Virus
Breeder" has finished. Come soon!

(Lan goes and finds Chaude in the Virus Lab)

Lan:
Chaud. Tell me more about the Forbidden Program.

Chaud:
I see you've finally come around.

Lan:
Yeah, thanks to you I've finally come to my senses!

Chaud:
Me? I don't recall doing anything. Anyway, I'll brief you on the mission
details. First though, I must warn you that this is a particularly dangerous
mission. You could even...lose MegaMan.

Lan:
Uh...

MegaMan:
I don't mind! I'm ready to take risks like that! Let's do this, Lan!

Lan:
Thanks, MegaMan. OK. Chaud, MegaMan and I can accomplish any mission, no
matter what the odds!!

Chaud:
Very well. I will continue then. According to the Officials' investigation,
the Undernet has a system simply referred to as the "ranking".

Lan:
The ranking?

Chaud:
There are ten Navis ranked 1 to 10 in the Undernet. Unranked Navis cannot even
meet the ranked ones. The Navi called S, whom you will be seeking, appears to
be a ranked Navi.

Lan:
So... In order to meet this guy S... I'll need to become ranked, too! But, how
do I do that?

Chaud:
That's still under investigation.

Lan:
I guess we should go to the Undernet and look around.

Chaud:
That's the mission. Here's something that may help you.

Game Narrator:
Lan got a Navi Customizer program: "BlckMind"!!

Lan:
What's this?

Chaud:
Install that program into MegaMan when entering the Undersquare. It emits the
same electronic waves as UnderNavis. So long as that's equipped, they'll think
you're one of them. UnderNavis hate surface Navis with a passion.

Lan:
So basically, if MegaMan has this installed... He'll look like a bad guy. Got
it! All right, MegaMan! Let's go!

MegaMan:
Roger!!

(Lan searches the UnderNet and finds the navi in charge of the ranks)

Navi:
So you wanna get ranked? You realize what that entails? Well, if you think
you're ready... Go stand in front of the stone statue in the Under Square.
Just don't blame me for what happens to you next!

(MegaMan goes in front of the statue)

MegaMan:
We were told to wait here. But is this really the right spot?

Lan:
You think we were tricked? This is the Undernet. There may be a lot of false
information going around.

(Three navis walk up)

Navi #1:
Who are YOU? Yo, kid! This ain't no place for children!

(Three more walk up)

Navi #2:
Huh, huh! I'm gonna get ranked this time, for sure! Huh, huh, huh!

(Four more walk up)

Navi #3:
Look at all these chumps  I'm as good as ranked already. Ho-hee-hee-hee!

MegaMan:
We're surrounded!

Lan:
MegaMan! Watch out! Who knows what'll happen next!

(The statue lights up)

Statue:
Reckless Navis who desire to be ranked...

MegaMan:
Lan! The statue's speaking! It said "ranked"!

Lan:
Yeah! What do we have to do to become ranked?

Statue:
If you want a rank, you must defeat a ranked Navi. However, only one of you
can battle.  ou must fight each other to determine who that will be! Power is
everything. That is the only law of the Undernet.

Navi #2:
Huh, huh, huh! So if I beat all these chumps, I can fight a ranked Navi?

Statue:
Yes. There are no rules. Only the winner will receive a chance to be ranked.
You may fight freely in Under 1, 2, and 3.

Navi #3:
No rules, eh? We can fight however we want in Under 1, 2, and 3... Heh, heh!
That's just the way we like it! Let the party begin!

(The navis leave)

MegaMan:
Hey Lan! Let's go, too!

Lan:
There are no rules? who knows what these UnderNavis will do! All right,
MegaMan! Let's show them what we've got!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan finds four navis)

Navi:
I've been waiting for you, boy! You'll be my first prey! Smash the weak ones
first!  That's the law of the Undernet!

(MegaMan deletes all four of the navis viruses)

Navi:
He beat all four of us? Who is this guy!?

MegaMan:
You want some more?

Navi:
Hey! You just remember this day! You’re going to pay for this! We won’t forget
your  face!

(They run off)

MegaMan:
Four on one. So this is how they do it in the Undernet. There really aren’t
any rules!

Lan:
Who knows where, when or how we’ll be attacked next. We’d better keep on our
toes.

MegaMan:
Right... I’ll watch my back.

(MegaMan finds another navi)

Navi:
Hey you! Nobody gets in my way and lives! C’mere!

(MegaMan delets the virus and finds another navi)

Navi:
I dunno about the other guys, but... I ain’t goin’ easy, on ye just ‘cause yer
a little brat!

(MegaMan delets the virus and finds another navi)

Navi:
Ain’t you a little young for an Undernet ranking!? Raaawrrr!!

(MegaMan delets the virus and finds another navi)

Navi:
It’s nothing personal, but I’m gonna delete you. You’da had a nice, long life
if you hadn’t tried to get ranked. But it’s to late for regrets now!!
Hiyaaaah!!

(MegaMan delets the virus and finds another navi)

Navi:
Hah! I’m gonna smash my way into the rankings!

(MegaMan delets the virus and finds another navi)

Navi:
No little twerp like you’s gonna get ranked!!

(MegaMan delets the virus and finds another navi)

MegaMan: Lan! We did it! We beat all ten of the challengers!

Lan:
Yeah! Now we can finally meet a ranked Navi!

Game Narrator:
Zh...zzhzhzzzzz. Mighty victor of the reckless ten... You have earned the
right to challenge a ranked Navi. The Navi ranked #10 may be found "where the
evil fall".

MegaMan:
Where the evil fall?

Game Narrator:
If you can defeat that Navi, you will be ranked #10. Zzhzzhzh...zzhnnnn Click!

MegaMan:  The communication’s been cut off... Lan, do you have any idea "where
the evil fall" may be?

Lan:
Hmmm... Where is it that evil people fall to? I’m not sure, but we’d better
start looking!

MegaMan:
Right!

(MegaMan finds #10 in Hades Isle)

#10:
Who are you, you little punk...? A rank challenger? You think you can take my
rank 10? Fine by me! Let’s fight!

MegaMan:
There’s something I want to ask you first!

#10:
..Spit it out.

MegaMan:
I’m looking for a Navi by the name of "S".

#10:
..Why would a little punk like you be looking for S? If ya wanna find S,
punk, you’ll have to get past me first! I’ll decide whether or not you deserve
to meet S! Bring it on!!

(MegaMan fights #10's viruses and wins)

#10:
Very impressive, kid. You’re now ranked #10. Here.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "Rank 10"!!

MegaMan:
All right!

#10:
Oh yeah... about that Navi called S... If you’re looking who I think you’re
looking for... My advice would be to stay away from him.

MegaMan:
You know S!?

#10:
I’ve said too much as it is... You had best just stop looking for him. That
is, if you value your life...

MegaMan:
But...

#10:
Oh, and one more thing. Just because you’re ranked now... don’t get too
confident. Just as you came after me, others will come after you. Try to keep
to yourself.

MegaMan:
Thanks for the advice, but we’ve got to go.

#10:
Oh... Well, do what you want, then. I’m out of here. Later.

(#10 leaves)

MegaMan:
He’s gone... Hey! We forgot to ask him where the Navi ranked #9 is! Now we’re
all out of leads! What should we do?

Lan:
This isn’t good...

Game Narrator:
Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! ...It’s from Mayl. It says, "Lan! Help! Roll is in trouble
in Zoo Comp 2! Get over here now, kiddo!" Come on Lan, let’s go save Roll!

Lan:
Right! Hmmm. Y’know, Mayl didn’t sound like her usual self... Nah, I’m just
imagining things. Let’s hurry, MegaMan!

(MegaMan gets to ZooComp 2)


MegaMan:
Roll! Hey, Roll! Lan! I don’t see Roll anywhere.

Navi:
Yu fell for it! How naive can you be!?

(One of the navis enter)

Navi #1:
We lost to this twerp? Man, how did THAT happen!?

(The second enters)

Navi #2:
We have our pride as evil thugs to protect. It’s our duty and obligation to
make you pay!

(The third enters)

Navi #3:
Yeah, yeah! Pay real good! Huh, huh, huh!

(The fourth enters)

MegaMan:
These are the Navis we fought before! So that mail from Mayl was...

Navi #1:
Bait! I wrote that to lure you out here! Pretty convincing, eh? Hya-ha-ha-ha!

MegaMan:
You dirty, stinking cowards!

Navi #1:
Cowards?  Hey, that has a nice ring to it! That’s right! We’re cowards! Is
something wrong with cowards using cowardly tricks? So long as you’re gone, we
don’t care!

MegaMan:
Lan! Here they come!

Navi #1:
Get ready! This ain’t gonna end like before! Get him!!

(MegaMan beats them all again)

MegaMan: Are you losers satisfied now? If you want more, I won’t hold back!
Navi: Nooooo! P-P-Please don’t d-delete us! Aaaaaaaaahh!

(They run off)

MegaMan:
I can’t believe they’d set a trap just to get revenge...

Lan:
Yeah. They’ve got as much hate in them as the WWW...

MegaMan:
Now what do we do?

Lan:
Find S... But we don’t have any leads. If we knew where #9 was, we’d at least
have a chance...

Game Narrator:
Beep Beep Beep!

MegaMan:
Lan! Another mail! Hey, it’s from the Navi who was #10! It says, "I forgot to
tell ya where Rank #9 is. You’ll find him... ‘where science gives life’."

MegaMan:
"Where science gives life"...? Do you think we can trust this mail?

Lan:
It doesn’t matter. It’s the only clue we’ve got! Trap or not, let’s go find
that place!

MegaMan:
Right! We’re off to "where science gives life"!

(MegaMan goes to the Hospital comp and finds #9)

MegaMan:
You're the Navi ranked #9?

#9:
That would be me. Who, may I ask, are you?

MegaMan:
I'm ranked #10.  I'm MegaMan.

#9:
So. You've come to battle me, then?

MegaMan:
Actually, I'm just trying to find a Navi called S.

#9:
S...? Do you have any idea just how frightening the Navi is that you seek?

MegaMan:
I've heard a little about that. Still, I have to meet him. If you have any
information... Would you mind sharing it with me?

#9:
All I know is that if you want to meet him, the only way is... Increasing your
rank. If you do that, you'll bump into him eventually.

MegaMan:
So, in order to increase my rank...

#9:
You will have to battle me.

MegaMan:
Well, if that's how it's got to be...

#9:
Let's fight...Just kidding! I'll give you my rank.

MegaMan:
What?

#9:
My rank. I'll give it to you. To be honest, I'm tired of this whole ranking
system. I started out like everyone, battling my way to the top. But I've
grown tired of fighting all the Navis below me. They come to challenge me, day
in and day out!

MegaMan:
Is it really OK?

#9:
Don't make me repeat myself. Here. Take it.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "Rank 9"!!

#9:
Now you're ranked #9.

MegaMan:
Thank you...

#9:
You can find the Navi ranked #8... Hmm, let's see... in "Rednu3". Yeah, that's
it. Well, that's all I know.

MegaMan:
The hint to find #8 is "Rednu3"? I'll try finding him. Thanks!

#9:
Good luck. Just try not to wind up dead.

(Megaman finds #8 in Under3)

#8:
Grrr...I'm ranked #8.

MegaMan:
You know, I think I've seen this Navi somewhere before...!

#8:
Garrr... I remember you well... Your battle-cry jogged my memory! Garrrr!!

MegaMan:
How can this be!? We beat that guy!

#8:
Take this! Time to pay you back for the other day!  Garrrr!!

(MegaMan beats #8 who was BeastMan)

MegaMan:
BeastMan! What's the WWW doing in the rankings!?

BeastMan:
Grrrrr... You seem to have a very bad habit of getting in our way!

Takeo:
BeastMan! Jack out! Once we get a hold of Alpha, we'll have nothing to fear
from the Forbidden Program!

BeastMan:
As much as I hate fleeing from an enemy...I will do so if it's for our
strategic advantage. Grrrrrrr!!

(BeastMan leaves)

MegaMan:
Wait! Lan, it looks like the WWW's also after that program!

Lan:
So they also know about the Forbidden Program... BeastMan got away. We're
without any leads all over again.

MegaMan
Lan! Something's on the floor where BeastMan was! Huh? Hey, look what he
dropped!

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "Rank 8"!!

MegaMan:
Now we just need to find out where the #7 Navi is.

(A navi walks up)

Navi:
You're pretty tough, kid to beat that beast that got me.

MegaMan:
Who are you?

Navi:
Me?  I am... I mean, I was #8! That beast thing beat me. So I'm a nobody, now.
Thanks for making quick work of my enemy! In return... I'll tell you the hint
to find #7.

MegaMan:
Really!?

Navi:
"Head of learning". That's the clue to find #7.  Good luck!

MegaMan:
Thanks a lot!

(MegaMan starts to leave)

Navi:
Now's my chance! Give me back my rank!

MegaMan:
Wha...?

(The navi attacked MegaMan from behind and MegaMan deleted him)

Navi:
Nooooooo!!

MegaMan:
That was a little too close! You really can't let your guard down for a second
in the Undernet!

Lan:
Yeah. MegaMan, Let's go find #7! The clue was, "head of learning"!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan finds #7 in the Principal's PC)

#7:
How well you managed to get here... I'm ranked 7. Those who are ranked are
duty-bound to take any challenge... You may have made it this far, but success
is more than power. Real strength is driven by intelligence. So. Let me now
offer you a quest... If you can  find what I ask, you will get my rank as
well...

MegaMan:
What should we do, Lan?

Lan:
There's no question. Take him on! Get him to give us the quest! Quickly!

#7:
You are a forceful operator... Prepare to receive your quest. "One of many
birds". Go now, and find it...

MegaMan:
"One of many birds"? That's going to be tough! Let's go, Lan!

(Lan finds a collection of Origami birds a hospital room)

Lan:
"One of many birds"... Could this be it...?

Game Narrator:
Lan got:  "Origami"!!

(MegaMan goes back to #7)

#7:
So. You got it right... Very well... I will award you the 7th rank...

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "Rank 7"

MegaMan:
Um, could you tell me the clue to find the next Navi?

#7:
Yes, the clue. Hmm...What was it again?  I can't recall...

MegaMan:
What do you mean, you can't recall?? Try a little harder!

#7:
Shut up! If I forgot, I forgot! End of story! You don't like it? Give me back
my rank!

MegaMan:
I guess I'll just have to search on my own...

#7:
Hmph! You youngsters have got it too easy, anyhow!

MegaMan
Oh boy...

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail! Chaud's Email: "Head to Square" - Looks like an under-
ranked Navi has posted on the ACDC Square BBS. It may be a trap, so be
careful!

(MegaMan finds the message)

NO NAME:
"From no. 3" - I've heard of you. I'm ranked #3. If you want a piece of me,
I'm at the bottom of the slope in Undernet 4. I'll be waiting, #7.

MegaMan:
Who'd have thought we'd get #3's attention?

Lan:
If we beat him, we'll instantly go up four ranks! Something tells me there's
more to this than meets the eye...

MegaMan:
Still, we have to go! We don't have time to waste!

Lan:
Yeah, You're right! We've got to keep climbing the ladder! Come on, MegaMan!
We're going to Under 4!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan gets to the slope)

MegaMan:
I think this is where the BBS told us to go.

Navi:
How nice of you to come!

MegaMan:
Wha...!

(There are three navis at the top of the slope)

Navi:
I heard a baby Navi was nosing around, asking abut S. Deleting little kids
always gives me nightmares...

MegaMan:
Which one of you is ranked #3!?

Navi:
What's it matter to you, boy? Weren't you paying attention? You're gonna be
deleted. Right here and now! Heh heh heh!! Get him, guys!

(The navis raise their arms)

Navi:
Hooooo!! Three-in-one lethal combo! CyberStone! Hiii-YAH!

(A rock forms in their hands)

MegaMan:
No! No room to dodge that boulder...!

Lan:
We're out of options! MegaMan! Brace for impact!

Navis:
Heave-ho! It's all over for you!

(They throw the boulder, but just before it hits GutsMan comes in and breaks
it)

GutsMan:
Yee-haaaaw! Are you OK, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
GutsMan!! This isn't a dream, is it? You're really here!?

Dex:
You've gotten sloppy, Lan! Get your act together!

Lan:
Dex! What are you dong here?

Dex:
Let's talk later! Check out GutsMan's power! We've been training hard in
Netopia! Go get'em, GutsMan!

GutsMan:
Yeee-haaaaaw! GutsHammer!!

(GutsMan attacks the navis)

Navi:
Was that supposed to be an attack? Or maybe... Were you trying to massage us
to death?

Dex:
Don't underestimate GutsMan!!

(Everything starts to shake)

Navi:
W-W-What's going on?

(They start to blow up)

Navi:
You never told us he had a friend!! C-CopyMan!! Aaaaarrrrghh!!

(They blow up)

MegaMan:
GutsMan! Thanks! You saved me!

GutsMan:
Helpin' friends is what friendship is all about! Yee-haw!

Lan:
Dex! what are you doing here, anyway?

Dex:
I heard from Mayl that you were feeling down. So I came to cheer you up!

Lan:
You came all the way from Netopia just to check on me?

Dex:
Of course!  If any of my friends are in trouble, I'll help! Even if I'm on
the opposite side of the world! That's what Dex is all about!

Lan:
Aw, Dex...

Dex:
Lan, let's jack out. We've got lots to talk about. GutsMan! Jack out!

(GutsMan jacks out)

Lan:
MegaMan, let's jack out too, OK?

MegaMan:
Right.

(GutsMan comes back in)

MegaMan:
What is it, GutsMa... Hey! You're not GutsMan! Who are you!?

Lan:
What are you talking about, MegaMan? Of course it's GutsMan!

MegaMan:
No!  This isn't GutsMan!

???:
Heh heh heh... You're pretty sharp. I'm not GutsMan. I'm the Navi ranked #3!
I'm CopyMan! I can copy the data of any Navi I see, and make it my own!

MegaMan:
You're #3? So those Navi's that GutsMan beat were...

CopyMan:
hose were my subordinates, ranked #6, 5 and 4. Kid, the word on the circuit is
you're looking for S. What is it you're after? The Forbidden Program?

MegaMan:
You know S?

CopyMan:
I might. If you beat me, I'll tell you what I know. Of course, you'll have to
survive the power of GutsMan! He deleted those 3 ranked Navis with a single
hit!

(MegaMan wins the battle)

MegaMan:
Now, tell me about S!

CopyMan:
Oh, all right... S is the head honcho of all the ranked players. He's #1! No
one has ever challenged S to battle and lived. Even uttering S's real name is
taboo. That's why everyone simply refers to him as "S".

MegaMan:
So, where is he now?

CopyMan:
I don't know, but the Navi ranked #2 should. The hint to find #2 is,"Place of
battle".

MegaMan:
"Place of battle"... OK! We're just one Navi away from reaching S!

CopyMan:
That's all the info I have. I'll be going now. Bye!

MegaMan:
Wait! aren't you forgetting the "Rank 3"?

CopyMan:
Hmph! You don't miss a thing, do you!?

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "Rank 3"!!

CopyMan:
I don't ever want to see your face again!

(CopyMan jacks out)

Lan:
The hint to find #2 was, "Place of battle", right? Come on, MegaMan! Let's
go!!

(MegaMan finds #2 in the DNN Battle Station)

BowlMan:
I can sense a great power... I hope you realize I'm BowlMan, rank 2! Who are
you, kid?

MegaMan:
MegaMan, rank 3! I'm looking for the Navi called "S"!

BowlMan:
Don't make me laugh! A little runt like you? Rank 3? And you think you can
meet up with "S"? Of course, the best way to meet him is to raise your rank...

MegaMan:
So! You know "S"!?

BowlMan:
Well... I don't mind telling you what I know about "S"... But you'll have to
beat me, first!!

MegaMan:
It's the law of the ranked Navis. Fight for what you want.

BowlMan:
Prepare to meet your maker!!

(MegaMan beats BowlMan)

BowlMan:
You're pretty good, beating me like that. But you're not good enough to defeat
Serenade.

MegaMan:
"Serenade"?  You mean...

BowlMan:
Yes! Serenade is the real name of the Navi you seek.

MegaMan:
Really!? Tell me where I can find him!

BowlMan:
Very well. Serenade is deep within the Undersquare. He resides in an area
where regular Navis cannot enter.

MegaMan:
So how do I get to that area?

BowlMan:
Take this and go to the Undernet server.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "Rank 2"!!

MegaMan:
The Undernet server...

BowlMan:
The server room that runs the Undernet lies somewhere in the real world. From
there, you'll be able to reach Serenade. The door to the server room is hidden
by a boulder.

MegaMan:
A server room hidden by a boulder... Where could it be? We'll just have to
search everywhere!

(MegaMan leaves)

(Lan finds a boulder by the Yoka Inn Outdoor Bath)

Game Narrator:
You can see an elevator inside the boulder!

(Lan enters a room with a huge servers)

Lan:
So... This is the Undernet server? This server’s huge! I’ve never seen
anything like it!

???:
Bearer of rank #2!  Jack in.

Lan:
Wh-who said that!?

???:
Jack in...

Lan:
Well, we didn’t come all this way for nothing. Are you ready, MegaMan?

MegaMan:
Ready and willing!

Lan:
Jack in! MegaMan, execute!

(MegaMan enters a special area)

???:
Proceed.

MegaMan:
Lan, I’m going in! What’s this? Where does this giant hole lead to?

???:
You have done well to make it this far  My name is Serenade. I reign over all
the ranked Navis.

MegaMan:
Serenade!  I am MegaMan! I’ve come on behalf of the Officials to get the
Forbidden Program! Someone is trying to awaken Alpha!

Serenade:
.. ...Unfortunately the Forbidden Program cannot be "given".  Only a Chosen
One may wield the program.

MegaMan:
A Chosen One...?  But if I don’t get it, the Net society will perish!

Serenade:
Are you prepared to take the test, to see if you are Chosen? If so, reach out
and take the program in front of you. It is the one which you seek! It is the
Forbidden Program!

(A green, glowing thing floats out from the hole and floats in front of
MegaMan)

MegaMan:
This is the Forbidden Program?

Serenade:
Now then, take it! If it flares up with blue flame, you are a Chosen One, and
can wield the program. However! If you are not chosen, you will immediately
suffer the effect of the program. You, MegaMan, will be frozen for all
eternity! No power will ever be able to awaken you!

MegaMan:
.. ...

Serenade:
Now, then. Grasp the program and discover your destiny!

Lan:
MegaMan...

MegaMan:
Lan...!! Aaaaaah!

(MegaMan grabs it and freezes)

Lan:
M-MegaMan! MegaMaaaaan!!!

Serenade:
So he is frozen...

Lan:
Noooooo! MegaMaaaan!!

Serenade:
..Mm?

(The program glows a blue flame)

MegaMan:
Lan! I did it! I can use the program!

Lan:
What were you thinking, pulling a stunt like that!?

Serenade:
Excellent...! The program is yours to wield, MegaMan!

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "GigFreez"!!

Lan:
All right, MegaMan! Mission completed!

MegaMan:
Not yet, Lan. We have to take this program to the Officials!

Lan:
Oh yeah! All right, let’s jack out!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan jacks out)

Serenade:
So there is another Navi who can wield Dr. Hikari’s program...

(The screen shows Lan standing in the server room)

???:
I knew it would take you long to reach Serenade.

Lan:
Who’s there!?

???:
I am the administrator of the Undernet...

(Mamoru comes in)

Lan:
Mamoru! You’re the administrator of the Undernet!? You!?

Mamoru:
Actually, the creator of the Undernet was a SciLab scientist. That scientist
is my father.

Lan:
What? Your father!? A SciLab scientist created the Undernet? So you mean it
was a SciLab project? I’ve never heard of anything like that before!

Mamoru:
The Undernet is a weapon to counter Alpha... Created to develop and preserve
the Forbidden Program.

Lan:
But if SciLab made the Undernet, why is it so dangerous now?

Mamoru:
Because the Forbidden Program was too dangerous. It has the power to freeze
Alpha, which means if misused... All of Net Society could be frozen in an
instant.

Lan:
It has that much power?

Mamoru:
Yes. That is why they created a vast area away from the regular Net. If an
accident were to occur, the damage would be contained. Since it was so
isolated, it turned out to be a perfect hiding place for criminals.

Lan:
Tell me, Mamoru. If so many measures had to be taken against Alpha, what
exactly is he?

Mamoru:
The ultimate beast... And a creation of SciLab, of course.

Lan:
SciLab...?

Game Narrator:
Weoo! Weoo! Weoo! Weoo! Emergency alert! The TetraGate has been destroyed.

Mamoru:
No! It’s Alpha! Quick, Lan! Hurry to SciLab 1! Someone’s stealing Alpha!

Lan:
Got it!! MegaMan! Let’s get over to SciLab 1!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(The screen goes black)

Game Narrator:
About the same time, in SciLab 1...

(The screen shows DrillMan is standing in front of four glowing yellow doors)

DrillMan:
Drill mode!

(DrillMan gets to drilling mode)

DrillMan:
Activate TetraCodes! Alpha is mine!

(DrillMan drills all the way to Alpha)

DrillMan:
This is the end of the Net Society!

(DrillMan takes Alpha)

Navi:
An intruder is stealing Alpha!

DrillMan:
Official scum...  You’re too late! Drill mode! Hah!

(DrillMan drills a hole in the net)

Navi:
Alpha’s been stolen... The Net Society is doomed!

(MegaMan follows DrillMan and eventually finds him)

MegaMan:
Hand over Alpha!

DrillMan:
..MegaMan! Heh heh! So I ran into you before awakening Alpha... This must be
my lucky day! Now I can pay you back for what you’ve done!

MegaMan:
What I’ve done?

DrillMan:
Yes! I’m going to drill a hole right through you! You’ll pay for what you did
to my cousing BubbleMan!

Lan:
Here he comes, MegaMan! Battle routine, set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

DrillMan:
I’m going to drill you into a pile of dust!

(MegaMan beats DrillMan)

DrillMan:
Lord Wily... I have failed you... Arrrrrrrh!!  BubbleMan... I’m coming to
you... Aaaaaahhhhhh!!

(DrillMan blows up leaving Alpha laying there)

MegaMan:
Whew! If Wily had gotten his hands on Alpha...

Lan:
Yeah, we would have been goners! Come on, let’s take Alpha back to SciLab!

MegaMan:
Right...

(The net flickers)

MegaMan:
Ungh!! I know this sensation!!

Lan:
I’ve got a bad feeling! Hurry, MegaMan, get Alpha!

Bass:
I cannot allow you to have Alpha...

(Bass comes in and takes Alpha)

Lan:
No! He’s got Alpha!

MegaMan:
.. ... Lan! Let’s use you-know-what!

Lan:
You mean the Forbidden Program?

MegaMan:
Yes! It’s our only chance!

Lan:
OK! This had better work!

MegaMan:
Right!

(MegaMan gets ready to use GigaFreeze)

MegaMan:
GigaFreeze!!

(MegaMan throws GigaFreeze and there is a flash of light)

Lan:
Did we get him!?

(The screen shows Bass holding GigaFreeze)

MegaMan:
Can’t be!!

Lan:
He caught it in one hand!? Why doesn’t he freeze!?

MegaMan:
Don’t tell me he’s a Chosen One, too!?

(Bass take it)

Bass:
You can use the "GigFreez"? Hmm... That means you... This is getting
interesting! I will let you live for now. Farewell.

(Bass leaves)

MegaMan:
The Forbidden Program didn’t work...Alpha’s been stolen... We’ve got to do
something, or our Net Society is done for!

Lan:
Right! First, let’s go report this to Chaud!

(The screen shows Lan floating in an open space)

Lan:
Where am I? Is this... the Cyberworld? Why am I in that Cyberworld??

MegaMan:
Lan...

Lan:
Is that you, MegaMan?

(MegaMan walks up to Lan)

Lan:
MegaMan! What am I doing in the Cyberworld?

MegaMan:
I called you, Lan.

Lan:
You did? But why?

MegaMan:
To say goodbye. I'm sorry to leave you. But I must go... The years that we
spent together are priceless to me, Lan...

Lan:
Goodbye...? What do you mean!?

MegaMan:
I'm glad to have been able to see you this one last time... Thank you, Lan.

(MegaMan runs off)

Lan:
MegaMan, wait! Why!?  Wait...Hub!! Don't go!!

(Lan tries to run)

Lan:
Why can't I move!? Hubbbbb!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!

(The screen goes black)

Lan:
Hub...

MegaMan:
Lan! Lan!

(The screen show Lan in his bed)

Lan:
Was that...a dream?

MegaMan:
You look like you had an awful dream... Are you OK?

Lan:
Yeah, it was just a nightmare.

MegaMan:
You sure you're OK? Well, if you say so...

(Lan gets out of bed)

Lan:
What's that going on outside?

MegaMan:
I noticed that, too. So I checked on the Internet. The army marched in this
morning! We're under martial law!

Lan:
Are they preparing for an attack by Alpha?

MegaMan:
Yeah, I guess... The army showing up like this can mean only one thing... The
situation has gotten very dangerous!

Lan:
Wow... None of this would have happened if I had gotten Alpha! I've got to do
something!

MegaMan:
Well, the army is here, and I'm sure Officials are, too. Best thing for us to
do now is just get to school!

Lan:
Yeah, I guess so.

(Lan leaves his house and finds his friends)

Dex:
Hey, Lan! School was closed, and there are tanks driving around! Just what on
earth is going on? Where is everyone? I'm a little worried about them...

Yai:
Lan, help me! This station worker won't let me in! just who does he think I
am!?

Mayl:
Someone from the army told me to stay at home! What's up!? I don't like
this... Here, Lan, take this! I want you to have it...

Game Narrator:
Lan got a chip for "RollV3 R"!!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan, you got mail!! SciLab Email: "Emergency" - A meeting concerning the WWW
will be held at SciLab today. We planned to meet only with Official Battlers,
but we need all of the talented Battlers we can find. Please meet ProtoMan at
the Internet SciLab Square, and receive a "OfclPass" from him. You can use
that to take the Metroline. We will be waiting for you.

(MegaMan meets up with ProtoMan)

ProtoMan:
There you are... Take this.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "OfclPass"!!

(Lan goes to the Metroline Station)

Guard:
Oh, you're an Official? My apologies! Please, go ahead.

(Lan goes to Dad's lab and finds Chaud)

Chaud:
So there you are... Lan is here now, so let's begin!

Official:
I'd like to discuss what we plan to do about Alpha. But first, now that the
WWW has stolen Alpha, I need to tell you all what it really is...

Lan:
"What it really is"... ...? Gulp...

Official:
SciLab created Alpha a decade ago in a top secret project. It was developed as
the basis for our Net community... It is the primal Internet...

Chaud:
"The primal Internet..."!? We though it was a monster, but... It's the
Internet??

Official:
That is correct. The original form of our current Net. We tried many things to
create the Net that we know today. One day, all of the devices connected to
Alpha malfunctioned. At the time, our researchers thought the problem was the
"AutoNavi", which was developed at the same time. We at SciLab reacted
..strongly...against the man who developed the AutoNavi, and decided it must
be deleted. He was held in custody, and the Navi Elite Corps... ...deleted his
Navi. We though that would be the end of it... But after that, the worst net-
accident in history occurred.

Lan:
An accident?

Official:
All devices connected to Alpha were destroyed.

Lan:
So the AutoNavi wasn't responsible after all?

Official:
Precisely. Alpha itself caused the accident. Unknown to the Alpha team, it was
riddled with bugs. It gained a level of intelligence, around that of an amoeba.
Well, perhaps not intelligence. More like...instinct.

MegaMan:
I can't believe that the Internet could become self aware!

Official:
Using its newfound instincts, Alpha crept into all devices connected to
itself. It absorbed all manner of Navis, programs, everything.  It was as if a
giant amoeba was devouring all of Cyberworld.  A week later, it had devoured
everything, and SciLab took advantage of its bloated state to capture it. Alpha
had finally been captured, but for 6 months, all of Net society was brought to
a halt... This event is known today as "The Alpha Revolt".

Official #2:
Back then, only a few devices were hooked into Alpha. But if Alpha were to
return today, with all that's online...

Official:
There would be nothing we could do. It would be the end of all Net society.
And now that Alpha is in the hands of the WWW... It MUST be deleted!!

Game Narrator:
Whoot! Whoot! Whoot! Emergency!! All AutoTanks on patrol have gone berserk!
They cannot be controlled! Civilian casualties possible!

Lan:
AutoTanks? Like the ones that were in ACDC??

MegaMan:
Gosh, I hope not!

Official:
Quickly, everyone! We'd better go!

All:
Roger!!

(Everyone runs off)

MegaMan:
Lan, let's go, too!

Lan:
You bet!

(Lan goes to ACDC Town and finds at tank that has cornered Dex, Yai, and Mayl)

Lan:
Dex! I'll take care of this guy!! You get those two to safety!!

Dex:
L-Lan!! You be careful! This guy is serious!!

Lan:
Leave it to me!  Now, get going!

Mayl:
Lan!! Look out!!

Yai:
Lan! You should come with us!

Lan:
Mayl, Yai...I'm...I'm  sorry for what I said before. Please forgive me!

Mayl:
Don't worry about that!! Just hurry up and come with us!

Yai:
Yeah, Lan!! What can you accomplish here!? That's an AutoTank you're dealing
with!

Tank:
Bee-bee-beep...!

Yai:
I don't like the sound of that!!

Lan:
Dex!! Hurry!!

Dex:
OK!! Mayl! Yai! Come on! Lan!! You'd better run if things get bad!

(Dex, Yai, and Mayl run off)

Lan:
So now, how to deal with this thing...?

Tank:
Beep! Bee-bee-beep...!

(The tank shoots)

Lan:
Whaaa!

(Lan some how dodges the bullets)

MegaMan:
Lan!! Are you OK!?

Lan:
I...I think so... But what should I try next? If I could just jack in... But I
can't get to the port!

MegaMan:
Lan! Here it comes again!

Tank:
Beebeebeebeep!

Lan:
There's the port!! Got it!!

(The tank shoots again and Lan dodges them and jacks in)

Lan:
MegaMan!! Go take care of whoever's behind this!! Jack in!! MegaMan, execute.

(In the tank MegaMan finds a virus)

MegaMan:
A virus!? Looks like it's making the tank go out of control!!

Lan:
MegaMan! You've got to delete that virus and stop the tank!!

MegaMan:
Gotcha!!

(MegaMan deletes the virus)

MegaMan:
Lan!

Lan:
Great! We stopped the tank!! Wow, that was a powerful virus... Are you OK,
MegaMan?

MegaMan:
Yeah. But was that just a virus running that tank?

Lan:
What do you mean?

MegaMan:
That it wasn't just a normal virus.  It seemed to be trying to...absorb me!

Lan:
Absorb you? A virus?

MegaMan:
Yes. Usually viruses just attack and try to delete Navis... But that virus's
attacks were meant to absorb me...

Lan:
A virus that absorbs Navis... It'd be serious trouble if those things
multiplied! Hey! I wonder how the Officials are doing? MegaMan! Time to jack
out!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan Jacks out and an official and Chaud walk up)

Official:
Are you OK, Lan!?

Lan:
Yes. I stopped the tank. How are things there?

Official:
The Officials have managed to stop the other tanks. However, we now know that
the situation is much worse than we previously predicted!

Lan:
Wh...What do you mean?

Official:
The reason that those tanks went haywire...

Lan:
You mean the virus?

Official:
That was no virus. The force running those tanks... Was AlphaBug!!

Lan:
AlphaBug!?

Official:
Yes. It seems that one of the bugs from Alpha managed to infiltrate one of the
Army systems. That means that Alpha has escaped from somewhere... It seems
that Wily has started decoding Alpha!

Chaud:
We don't have much time left. We must find the WWW base and delete Alpha...and
fast!

Game Narrator:
Beep beep beep!!

(Official picks up his phone)

Official:
Yes...? ... ... ... ... What? You mean...? ... ... ... Understood. I'm on my
way!

Chaud:
What happened!?

Official:
Seems that AlphaBug has broken into Army systems everywhere. Military hardware
around the globe has been taken over.

Chaud:
Could this mean...War??

Lan:
War!?

Official:
If this situation isn't dealt with immediately... It could lead to a war that
envelops the entire Earth!! Officials! Quickly jack in to all Nets around the
globe! Access the Army systems, and destroy AlphaBug! Chaud, come with me!

Chaud:
Yes, sir!

Lan:
I'm coming, too!!

Chaud:
You'd just get in the way. You don't even have access! Just leave this to us
Officials!

(They walk off)

Lan:
A war...What will happen if Alpha reaches full power?

Game Narrator:
Beep beep beep!!

MegaMan:
Lan! It's a phone call!  From Mom!

Lan:
Hello? Mom, what's wrong!?

Mom:
Lan, help me! It's your dad!

Lan:
Mom, calm down! What about dad!?

Mom:
He's...He's...disappeared from the hospital!  He's in no condition to be
moving around... Where could he be?

Lan:
What!? I'm on my way! You wait there! MegaMan! We have to get to the hospital!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(Lan goes to the hopsital and finds Mom)

Lan:
Mom!!

Mom:
Lan!

Lan:
Have you found dad!?

Mom:
No, not yet... And it's almost time for him to take his medication! Oh, what
shall we do?

Lan:
Medication?

Mom:
Yes, your father has been taking pain medicine every day... Without it, he
isn't able to even get up out of bed! But he's run off somewhere without
taking it!

Lan:
So, if the effects of his last dose run out... Oh, no!!

MegaMan:
Lan! We have to find dad!

Lan:
But we have no clue where he could be!

MegaMan:
Well, let's start by searching this room, top to bottom! Maybe we can find
some sort of clue!

Lan:
OK! Mom, don't worry! I promise that I'll find dad!

Mom:
Lan... Oh, here! Take this! It's your father's pain medication!

Game Narrator:
Lan got: "Aspirin"!!

Lan:
Come on, MegaMan! Let's look for clues!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan looks for a clue)

Game Narrator:
Something like an envelope is under the pillow... Lan got: "DadsNote" and
"CardKey"!!

Lan:
It's a letter...

MegaMan:
What's it say?

Lan:
Let's see... "I have to go search for Alpha. Sorry for worrying you." Dad...
In his condition...! MegaMan! Let's find dad!

MegaMan:
Uh...But where did he go?

Lan:
He'd have gone somewhere having devices to locate Alpha.

MegaMan:
Gotcha!  Let's go looking for those places!!

(Lan goes to Dad's lab and goes to a door)

Game Narrator:
Lan used: CardKey

(Lan goes in the room)

Lan:
Dad!!

Dad:
So you followed me...

Lan:
Dad, you have to get back to the hospital!

Dad:
Son, I can't just lie in bed. Not when Alpha is in the hands of the WWW! Right
now, I'm tracing the path of AlphaBug's attack.  It could lead us to the WWW
base!

Lan:
But you're in no condition to be doing that! Let's just leave it up to the
Officials!

Dad:
I can't do that. I must delete Alpha with my own hands.

Lan:
Why!? Because Alpha was created by SciLab? But why do YOU have to take on that
responsibility!?

Dad:
.. ... ...20 years ago, a promising scientist came to SciLab. He used the
latest tech to create the basis of the Net. A prototype of the Internet...
"Alpha"!

Lan:
.. ... ...

Dad:
That scientist was a man who I respect very deeply. It's my duty to delete
Alpha for him!

Lan:
.. ... ... I understand that a great man may have created Alpha! But not why
you have to put yourself in such danger!

Dad:
That scientist's name was...Tadashi Hikari. He was my father.

Lan:
What!? GRAMPS created Alpha!?

Dad:
Yes. And that is why I must delete Alpha with my own hands. And now is the
only time that I can! When he stopped the Alpha Revolt, Gramps installed a
program, "Guardian", into Alpha's core. So long as it isn't deleted, Alpha
can't full recover. It's one of Gramps's programs, so it can't be deleted
easily... Not even by Wily.

Game Narrator:
Bee-beep...Beeeep!!

Dad:
Ah, the computer has finished tracking the WWW's base! ...Argh!!

(Dad falls down)

Lan:
Dad!! Dad!!  Are you OK!? Here's your medicine!! Mom gave it to me!

Dad:
Th-Thank you...Urgh!

Game Narrator:
Gulp...

Dad:
I'll be OK... In a moment...

Lan:
Dad, tell me where the WWW's base is! I'll delete Alpha for you!

Dad:
No... It's too dangerous...

Lan:
I can do it! After all, I'm your son! And I have MegaMan! As long as we're
together, we can do anything!!

Dad:
..Lan, I can see that you're growing up now. I knew that there comes a day
when the son exceeds the dad... But I never knew yours would come so
quickly...

Lan:
Dad...

Dad:
According to the data, the WWW's base is at... What... ...!? The Demon
Waters!?

Lan:
"Demon Waters"?

Dad:
That part of ocean is known for its ferocity. It's full of "Demon Currents,"
spinning waters strong enough to created whirlwinds. To approach it is certain
death!

Lan:
Demon Waters... How can that area be approached?

Dad:
It would have to be by boat. The turbulent air above there would crash any
plane. But if you were to go by boat, it would have to have a very powerful
engine to avoid being pulled under the waves!

Lan:
So we need a boat with a huge engine to get to the base... Dad, I'll do it!
I'll delete Alpha for you!

Dad:
No, Lan, you mustn't think of it that way. The battle you are going to face
isn't for me. It's YOUR battle! Yours and MegaMan's! You must fight for all
those that you love, and our future! Lan, MegaMan...No, Hub! Fight together to
stop the WWW's plan!

MegaMan:
Roger!!

Lan:
We will!!

Dad:
Be careful... Both of you!

(Lan finds the boat at Beach)

Lan:
Wonder if this boat can be used?

MegaMan:
The engine looks pretty old, though... It will need a new engine to get to the
WWW base...

Lan:
But where can I find a boat engine?

MegaMan:
Hmmm. It won't be easy... We'll need help to find one. We can't do it alone.

Lan:
We don't have time to find anyone now! Just start looking!!

(Lan finds Yai)

Yai:
What's wrong with you, Lan?

Lan:
I'm looking for a boat engine... Do you know where I might find one? I want to
install it in that boat that's on Beach Street.

Yai:
A boat engine? Where do you want to go at a time like this?

Lan:
I...I can't tell you...

Yai:
I'm sure that I could get one if I really wanted to... But I won't help you
unless you tell me what it's for! So where is it that you plan to go!?

Lan:
..Somewhere...

Yai:
..... You found the WWW base, right?

Lan:
!! How did you know!?

Yai:
Why didn't you just say so!?

Lan:
I, I just... It's going to be a dangerous fight, so I didn't want...

Yai:
..You didn't want anyone else involved, right? The fact that it's dangerous
is exactly why we should help! We're friends, right? Why would you try to go
alone!?

Lan:
..I'm sorry. But I...

Yai:
Fine! Just go alone then! ... ...I'll get your engine for you... I'll see that
it's installed by tomorrow morning.

Lan:
Yai...! Thank you! Could you also...keep this a secret from the others...?

Yai:
..Sure, whatever. I'll take care of things. You go get ready for tomorrow.

Lan:
Thanks so much!

Yai:
Just get going...

(Lan goes home and goes to bed and the screen shows Wily talk to the WWW
members)

Wily:
Welcome, my elites of the WWW! Thanks to your efforts, Alpha is now under our
control!

Rei:
And now, Lord Wily, we may proceed with our plan?

Wily:
Precisely!! We shall now free Alpha from SciLab's imprisonment!

Sunayama:
Ha ha ha!! This will be the event of the century! This was definitely worth
breaking out of prison for!!

Anetta:
So, Net society will finally come to an end!?

Match:
This will be the end of the world... Heh heh heh... I'm gettin' hot! Just
burnin', baby!

Rei:
Lord Wily, I can't seem to find Inukai, BeastMan's operator...

Wily:
Inukai? He failed his mission. So I deleted him.

Sunayama:
.. ... ... Hail to Lord Wily! The evilest of all! The perfect king for our
new world of chaos!!

Wily:
Muwahahaha! Your new mission, my followers, is to protect Alpha... Protect it
from those Net society fools! A new world awaits us! And it will stand upon
the ashes of Net society!! It is time to crush Net society with an iron fist
of wrath!! Delete it!!

Rei:
Delete it!!

Sunayama:
Deleeeete itttt!!

Anetta:
Delete it!!

Match:
De! Lete! It!

Wily:
Muwahahahahaha!! Ah, ahem... Attention, fools who depend upon Net society! I
am Wily! Leader of the WWW!! Very shortly, we will conduct an assault on the
Net! Our assault will destroy all Net society functions! Army systems will
start wars around the globe! This is a declaration of war!! There is nothing
you can do to stop us! The only thing in your future is... Destruction!!
MUWAHAHAHAHA!!

(The screen shows Lan standing in his room)

MegaMan:
Good morning!! You're up early today, Lan!

Lan:
This is it! The day we put a stop to Wily's plans!! C'mon, MegaMan! Let's get
to Beach Street! But Lan, don't you think we should tell someone?

Lan:
No. I don't want to put anyone in danger. I don't want to see anyone hurt
because of me!

MegaMan:
Lan...

Lan:
C'mon, MegaMan! Let's go save our future!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(Lan gets an email)

MegaMan:
Lan! You got mail!!

Dad's Email:
"Use this" - Lan, you are heading for the toughest battle you've known. I
can't stress how powerful Alpha is... Install this program into MegaMan. This
will let you find Alpha where he hides in Cyberworld. I'm sorry that this is
all I can do. Please forgive me. The fate of the world is in your hands, my
sons.

Game Narrator:
Lan got a NaviCust program: "Alpha"!!

(Lan gets to the boat)

Lan:
MegaMan, are you ready?

MegaMan:
You bet! Let's finish this!!

Dex:
Where do you think you're going, without us?

(Chaud, Dex, Yai, and Mayl walk up)

Lan:
What the...?  What are you guys doing here?

Yai:
I knew you'd try to go alone! How dare you!

Lan:
Yai, you told everyone!?

Mayl:
You always try to do dangerous things on your own! We worry about you!

Dex:
We want you to trust our abilities more! The whole world is in danger! You
can't do this alone! We're goin' with ya!

Chaud:
Trying to go it alone again, huh? I don't think so.

Lan:
Thanks, guys... But...

Dex:
No "buts" about it! We already know it's dangerous!!

Lan:
Dex... OK! Dex, Chaud...Let's go! Mayl, Yai, you tow wait here!

Mayl:
No, Lan! We're going with you! We're Net Battlers, too! We can't let you face
this danger by yourself!

Yai:
Yeah! Take us with you!

Chaud:
No, the two of you would just get in the way. We can't fight and protect you
at the same time!

Yai:
What are you talking about? I was one of the top 8 battlers at the N1 Grand
Prix!!

Mayl:
.. ...Yai, Chaud is right...

Yai:
..I know... But I can't just sit back and do nothing...!

Mayl:
Lan, we'll wait here. But you guys had better come back safely!

Lan:
You bet! We'll be back as soon as we crush the WWW! Dex! Chaud! Let's go!!
Mayl! Yai! We'll be back!

Mayl:
OK! Please come back safely!

Tora:
Hold that boat!!

(Tora walks up)

Tora:
Whew! I made it!

Lan:
Tora!!

Tora:
I hear you're going to take on the WWW. That right, Lan? I heard it from
Forehead there!

Yai:
Don't call me "Forehead"!!

Tora:
Take me with you, Lan! I can't let those WWW creeps get away with all this!
I'll help you put them in checkmate for good!!

Lan:
Tora...OK!! Come on, everyone! To the WWW base!!

(Lan, Dex, Chaud, and Tora get on the boat and arrive at th WWW base)

Lan:
So this is the WWW base...

Chaud:
Lan, there's no time to waste. Let's get moving! There isn't much time left.
Every second counts!

(Chaud walks off)

Lan:
Chaud! Wait!

Dex:
Just you wait, Wily! It's time for a knuckle sandwich!

Tora:
Can't let Chaud steal the show!

(Dex and Tora walk off)

MegaMan:
C'mon, Lan! Let's get moving!!

Lan:
Yeah!!

(Lan enters the first room in the WWW base, Dex, Chaud and Tora are inside and
In the center of the room is mechanical chair that Chaud is looking at)

Chaud:
What IS this thing?

(Tora looks at the computer)

Tora:
This is some computer! Better than SciLab's, maybe?

(Dex looks at a computer displaying a human shape figure)

Dex:
Lan! Check this out! It's a human body... What could Wily be intending to do?

(Lan tries to use the elevator)

Lan:
This elevator doesn't seem to work...

MegaMan:
Lan, find some place to jack in! I'll check the elevator!

Lan:
OK! Jack in!! Uh... This elevator doesn't have any place to jack in! Dex, do
you see any place where we can jack in?

Dex:
No, not at all!

Tora:
Not here, either! This room looks like some kind of lab... But there's no
place to jack in anywhere!

Chaud:
All of the monitors are connected to this chair... What could that be for?

???:
That's a Pulse Transmission System!

Chaud:
Who's there!?

(The man who helped Lan with the PressData walks up)

Lan:
It's you!!

Chaud:
You know him?

Lan:
Yeah, he's helped me before. Don't worry, he's on our side! And he's an
amazing programmer! But... Just who ARE you?

???:
My name is Cossak... I was once a scientist at SciLab.

Lan:
Huh!?

Chaud:
Cossak... I know that name! If I remember correctly, he was... The head
scientist on the Independent Navi Project! But if that's so, why would he be
doing here!?

Cossak:
Just a little unfinished business. But never mind that. If you want to move
on, get out of the way. This is called a "Pulse Transmission System". It
allows humans to directly enter the Cyberworld.

Lan:
Humans? In the Cyberworld? How is that possible?

Cossak:
To be precise it sends their "brain waves" there. Brain waves are really just
a type of electric pulse. The system converts brain waves to data, and sends
that.

Dex:
So what happens after that?

Cossak:
The brain wave data enters the Net as a new "self" everything you sense there
is sent to your brain. Your senses thus work just like in the real world. So
if your are hurt there, that data goes to your brain... So your body in the
real world will be hurt, as well!

Tora:
S-So... what would happen if you died in Cyberworld...?

Cossak:
Then your real-life body would of course be affected as well. This was
developed at SciLab, but it was just too dangerous... I'm sure that Wily got
the tech when he worked at SciLab.

(Cossak gets in the chair)

Cossak:
I will pulse into the Cyberworld and start the elevator. Pulse in!

(Cossak jacks in)

Cossak:
OK, I've pulsed in. I'll start working on getting the elevator moving. You can
see what I'm doing from those monitors.

Lan:
His voice! It's coming from the monitors! He really went into the
Cyberworld...

(The screen shows Cossak in the Cyberworld)

Cossak:
Hmmm. This seems to be the elevator control program...

Game Narrator:
Click! Clack!... Ping!!

Cossak:
OK, you should be able to use the elevator now.

(The screen flickers)

Cossak:
!! ... Hmmm... Just my imagination, I guess...

Bass:
So a puny human dares to come into my world... Have you come to die, Cossak?

(The screen flickers as Bass enters)

Cossak:
Bass...! So you ARE here, as I suspected! Why are you helping Wily!?

Bass:
I have no interest in that fool's plan! There is only one thing that I desire!
Absolute power! Power to destroy you humans!

(The screen flickers again)

Cossak:
Arrgh!! I can't believe this power!! He's become even stronger!

Bass:
On that day that the Navi Elite Corps attack me, I crawled, near deletion,
through the Internet... Behold!

(Bass lifts his cape to show a scar)

Bass:
This is the wound they inflicted upon me! As I began to fade, I swore revenge
on the humans! And I survived. .. Thanks to the "Get Ability Program" you
installed into me!

Cossak:
The program that allows you to take on others' powers!? But, how could you
become so strong?

Bass:
Day after day I was attacked by hordes of viruses... Occasionally I fed upon
the remains of fallen Navis... I gained this power through trials that you
cannot imagine!

Cossak:
All of that, just for revenge on humans? Bass, it seems that we have become
totally different... You will become a threat to mankind. So before that
happens, you must go down with me!!

Bass:
And just what does the puny human think it can do to me??

Cossak:
Yes, I'm a human. But a human in Cyberworld! And I can do this!

(Cossak raises up his arms)

Bass:
Hmmm...? What's all this power you're building up...? Do you intend to
self-destruct? Human fool!

Cossak:
Yes, I was a fool to have created a thing like you... And now I make my
penance!

(Cossak's body begins to self-destruct)

Bass:
You cannot delete me with such pitifully small power! Wake up, human! Time to
die.

(Bass attacks Cossak and the screen shows Cossak in the chair)

Cossak:
Aggghhhh!!

Lan:
Cossak!! Cossak!!  re you OK?

Cossak:
What was I hoping to accomplish in creating Bass...? The world’s first
independent Navi...? Or was I just making a vain display of my ability...?

Lan:
Don’t talk, Cossak! Just stay calm!!

Cossak:
Please. Delete Bass... You’re the only one who can do it... ...Please... ...
.. If only I could turn back the clock... ...Bass... Nghh... ...

Lan:
Cossak!!

Chaud:
Don’t touch him! He’s still alive, but barely. We need to get him to safety.

Dex:
I’ll take him! You guys hurry on ahead! I’ll catch up as soon as I get him
somewhere safe!

Lan:
Thanks, Dex!! C’mon! Let’s go!

Chaud:
Agreed.

Tora:
We’ll avenge you, Cossak!!

(Lan gets outside and finds another door)

Lan:
Hey! A door!!

Game Narrator:
Beep!  Beep!!

Tora:
What's that sound? ... ... ...Lan!! Above you!!

Lan:
Huh? Above me?

(Thers is a robot up above Lan)

Lan:
What IS that?!

Chaud:
It must be a robot guarding the door! Here it comes!!

(The robot jumps down by Lan, Tora, and Chaud)

Tora:
Guess we can't just waltz through the WWW base!

Robot:
Beep! Beep!

MegaMan:
Lan! Look out!!

(The robot uses FlashMan's Hypno Flash, and Lan dodges it)

Lan:
Whoa! Hey, I've seen that attack before...

MegaMan:
That was FlashMan's Hypno Flash! But FlashMan is supposed to have been
deleted!  Be careful, everyone!  That light can hypnotize you!!

Tora:
What!? How are we going to approach that thing if it can do that!? ... ... ...
..

Chaud:
Careful! Here it comes again!

Lan:
We can't just stand here and let it attack us... But what can we do?

Tora:
Lan! Chaud! I have a plan! When I give the signal, you two rush that thing!

Lan:
Rush it? But we'll be...

Tora:
You have to look a few moves ahead to win the game! OK! Now!!

(Tora runs to the side of the robot and it turns to him)

Tora:
Hey, you hunk of junk!! I'm over here!! Lan!! Chaud!! Do it now!

Lan:
Yaaaaah!!

(Lan and Chaud go upto the robot)

Chaud:
Lan, you jack in!! I'll do something about this beam!

Lan:
Gotcha!! Jack in!! MegaMan, execute!

(Lan jacks in)

Lan:
MegaMan, we need to stop this thing, and fast!

MegaMan:
Roger! I'll look for the control system!

Lan:
OK!! But be careful! This is a dangerous place!

MegaMan:
OK!!

(MegaMan goes through the net until he finds FlashMan and Rei)

Rei:
So nice to meet you again, MegaMan. And you, Lan.

MegaMan:
F-FlashMan!! And his operator! So you WERE the one behind the beam!

FlashMan:
Wahahaha!! I've been brought back, thanks to Lord Wily! Don't think that I'll
be deleted as easily as last time!

Rei:
The only way you can stop the guard robot is by defeating us! FlashMan! Delete
MegaMan, and take our revenge!!

FlashMan:
Yes, sir!!

Rei:
Wait'll you get a look at this, Lan! FlashMan! Full Synchro!!

(FlashMan and Rei starts to flash)

Lan:
Full Synchro!? How is that even possible!?

Rei:
I have been fully digitalized! Synching with my Navi is second nature to me
now!!

(FlashMan and Rei murge together)

Rei:
Wahahaha! I can feel the power within me... By synchronizing, we can operate
at 100% efficiency!! You'll never be able to defeat us! Time to be deleted,
MegaMan!

MegaMan:
Lan!!

Lan:
Here we go! Battle routine, set! Execute!

FlashMan:
You'll pay dearly for what you did to me!! Wahahaha!!

(MegaMan deletes FlashMan)

FlashMan:
How...? How could you defeat us again...?

Rei:
FlashMan! Prepare yourself! Shining Crusher!

FlashMan:
Yes, sir!!

MegaMan:
Oh, no! I don't think I can take that now!

FlashMan:
Shining...!

Tora:
Checkmate!!

(KingMan comes and crushes FlashMan)

Lan:
Tora!!

Tora:
I told you! You have to look several moves ahead!

Rei:
ow dare you ambush me!

Tora:
Look who's talking!

FlashMan:
Whaaaaaa!!

(FlashMan blows up)

Lan:
Thanks , Tora!

Tora:
No need for thanks! Now come on, let's get going!

Lan:
OK! MegaMan, jack out!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan jacks out and Lan and Chaud go into the next room)

Lan:
What is this place?

Chaud:
It looks like Wily's research lab... Doesn't seem to be anyone around,
though.

Lan:
Looks like Wily must be somewhere else.

Chaud:
Looks that way... There must be some way to another room from here.

Lan:
Well... Let's find it!

(Lan looks at a statue of Wily)

Game Narrator:
A statue of Wily. It's too heavy to be moved...

(Lan looks at another statue of Wily)

Lan:
It's a statue of Wily... What kind of person decorates with a statue of
himself!?

(Lan hits the statue and it falls)

Lan:
This statue sure is light...

MegaMan:
Lan, please stop playing with that! We have to move on!!

Lan:
I know, I know!! Chaud! We've found a way! Let's move on!

(Lan and Chaud continue up the base, but are stopped by another robot)

Lan:
Whoa! Another one!

Chaud:
Quiet!  He hasn't noticed us yet!  We can try to slip past him!

Lan:
Yeah!

Chaud:
Ready, set...Go!

(Chaud runs ahead and the robot shoots out a bubble seperating Lan and Chaud)

Lan:
It's... BubbleMan!! Chaud! You go ahead! I'll take care of this guy!

Chaud:
Gotcha.

(Chaud moves goes ahead)

Robot:
Beep... Beep...

MegaMan:
Lan!

(The robot keeps launching bubbles)

Lan:
Whoa!

MegaMan:
Lan! Run!

Robot:
Beep Beep Beep!!

(Dex comes in)

Dex:
Try this on for size!! Boulder Toss!!

(Dex tosses a rock at the robot and blocks it's weapon from shooting)

Robot:
Beep Beep Beep!!

Dex:
Sorry to keep you waiting, Lan!!

Lan:
Dex!!

Dex:
Now we're even for yesterday!

MegaMan:
Now, Lan! Jack in!!

Lan:
Gotcha!! Jack in!!  MegaMan, execute!

(Lan jacks in)

Lan:
MegaMan! Shut this thing down!!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan finds BubbleMan)

MegaMan:
BubbleMan!!

BubbleMan:
So it's MegaMan! I owe you for being mean to me, blubblub! That MegaBuster
hurt! So did ProtoMan's sword!

Lan:
First FlashMan, and now BubbleMan!? Here we go again, MegaMan!

BubbleMan:
Blub blub blub! Lord Wily has made me a lot stronger than I was before!! This
time I will delete you, blubblub!

Lan:
Don't let your guard down, MegaMan! Battle routine, set! MegaMan: Execute!

(MegaMan beats BubbleMan)

BubbleMan:
I can't believe you blub-beat me again? Just you wait! Alpha will absorb you!!
Blu-blu-bwaaah!!

(BubbleMan blubs up)

MegaMan:
Lan!! Has the guard robot stopped!?

Lan:
No! So BubbleMan wasn't operating that thing!? MegaMan! Someone else is behind
this! Go find him!!

MegaMan: Roger!!

(MegaMan goes on and reaches a dead end)

???:
Hiss... Hiss... (MegaMan, this shall become your grave!)

MegaMan:
Who is that!? Where are you!?

Lan:
MegaMan! Below you!!

(A whirlpool of sand appears below MegaMan and MegaMan dodges it)

MegaMan:
Whoa!

???:
Hiss... Hiss... (Almost had you, there...)

Lan:
This is digisand! Which means...

Sunayama:
That's right, Lan and MegaMan!!

(Sunayama and DesertMan enter)

Lan:
Sunayama!! But weren't you arrested by the Officials!?

Sunayama:
Hah!! Lord Wily hacked into the system, and freed me!! And it's so good to be
back! Now I can watch TV again!

Lan:
You escaped...!?

Sunayama:
You bet! To delete those who stand in the way of Lord Wily's plans! Chaud
wouldn't even tell me the ratings of the N1! You'd think that an Official
would keep his promises! Anyway, it's time for you to have some fun with
DesertMan! Things won't go as smoothly as they did during N1, I promise! Let's
see how you like it under a desert of digisand! DesertMan!! Full Synchro!!

(Sunayama and DesertMan merge together)

MegaMan:
Lan! This is bad! DesertMan is under the sand, but I can't tell where!!

Lan:
Ach! Isn't there some way you can lure him out!?

MegaMan:
Yaahhh!

(MegaMan dodges a whirlpool of sand)

Sunayama:
Hahahaha! You should be in comedy!

DesertMan:
Hisssss!! (The next blow shall be your last!)

Dex:
GutsMan! Help MegaMan!

GutsMan:
Gaaaahhhh!!

(GutsMan comes in and slams the ground)

Sunayama:
What was that!? An earthquake!? Ouch, my head! Argh!!

(DesertMan pops up)

Dex:
Now, Lan!!

Lan:
hanks, Dex!! Go for it, MegaMan!! Battle routine, set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

(MegaMan beats DesertMan)

DesertMan:
Yaaaaaahhh!!

Sunayama:
Arrrrrgh!!

(DesertMan blows up)

MegaMan:
Lan!!

Lan:
Hey! The guard robot stopped!! We have to check on Chaud!! Jack out!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan jacks out and Lan goes down a ramp)

Game Narrator:
Crunch... Crunch... Grind...

Lan:
What's that noise? Just my imagination, I guess! Let's get going!

Game Narrator:
Grind...

Lan:
Huh?

(Lan looks up and sees a rock comming after him)

Lan:
Whoa!!

(Lan just misses the rock)

Lan:
Wow, that was close...

(Lan goes on to find Chaud surrounded by flames by a third robot)

Lan:
Chaud!! Chaud!! Are you OK!?

Chaud:
L-Lan...! Go on, through that door!

Lan:
What are you talking about!? I'm going to help you!

Chaud:
Don't worry about me! You have to delete Alpha, now! This is to protect us
all!!

Lan:
No way!! How can I help the entire world if I can't help a friend? There's no
way I'm going to leave you behind! C'mon, MegaMan!!

MegaMan:
You bet!!

Lan:
Jack in!! MegaMan, execute!

(Lan jacks in)

Lan:
Chaud is in trouble! We have to find out who's running this!

MegaMan:
Roger!

(MegaMan eventually finds Anetta, PlantMan, Match, and FlameMan)

Anetta:
You!! Destroying nature while you fight the WWW!!

PlantMan:
That's the one who deleted me while I protected nature. He is an incarnation of
civilization!

Lan:
What!? YOU'RE the ones who want to ruin the Earth!!

Mr. Match:
Hah! No need to get all hot under the collar! Thanks for the other day! You
really were a help with SciLab!

Lan:
Match! Have any idea how many people you hurt!?

Mr. Match:
We're just doing our job! It doesn't matter how many people are hurt! Right,
Anetta?

Anetta:
Hey, watch that heat! You're going to set PlantMan on fire! But, yeah! You're
right!!

PlantMan:
MegaMan is a danger. He must be deleted. FlameMan and I will do that right
now. Ready FlameMan?

FlameMan:
Grrrahhhh!!

Mr. Match:
My heat is fueled by pure passion!! Flare away, FlameMan! And let's burn
together!! Full Synchro!!

(Match and FlameMan merge together)

PlantMan:
Let us be joined as well, Anetta!!

Anetta:
Of course!! Full Synchro!!

(Anetta and PlantMan also merge together)

Lan:
Both of them at once!? That's not fair!

Mr. Match:
"Not fair"? It's called strategy, boy!

Anetta:
Here we come!!

MegaMan:
Lan! Watch out!

Lan:
We can take them! MegaMan! Double routine Set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

(MegaMan beats PlantMan and FlameMan)

PlantMan:
Arrrgh...! Even if you can beat us, you'll never defeat Alpha! Araaaaagh!!

Mr. Match:
And I thought that I'd be able to watch the world end... But... Alpha will
soon awaken... So hot...

(PlantMan and FlameMan blow up)

MegaMan:
"Alpha will soon awaken"? Lan, we have to hurry!!

Lan:
Yeah! Wait! How's Chaud doing!? I'm jacking out now, MegaMan!

MegaMan:
OK!

(MegaMan jacks out and Lan goes into the next room)

Lan:
Is this place deserted?

MegaMan:
Lan, we need to look for clues that will lead us to Wily!

Lan:
Yeah, let's go!

(At the end of the room there is a a lot of wires hanging down)

Lan:
Hey!! There's a passage behind this cable!!

(Lan moves the wires)

MegaMan:
A hidden passage! I'll bet it leads to Wily!!

Lan:
Yeah! Let me take a deep breath here... OK! Let's go get him!!

(Lan enters the room and and goes to the last door)

Lan:
That's quite a door!

MegaMan:
I'm sure Wily must be inside...

Lan:
MegaMan...No...Hub... We'll always be together, right?

MegaMan:
Lan... Of course we will! Together forever! Forever and ever!

Lan:
Thanks!! Let's go, MegaMan! To our final battle!

MegaMan:
Roger!!

Game Narrator:
Grind grind grind

Lan:
Wh-What!?

(The screen starts to shake)

MegaMan:
Lan, get back!!

(A robot with a drill breaks through the wall)

Lan:
Oh, no!! Not another one!!

DrillMan:
Too bad! Almost got you! MegaMan! Do you hear me!? Jack in, now! I will delete
you!

MegaMan:
DrillMan is back, too!? Lan! We'll have to fight this one, too!

Lan:
There's not much time before Alpha wakes up!  Hurry!

DrillMan:
You're going to be deleted right now, so why hurry?

MegaMan:
Ready, Lan!

Lan:
There's no way we can lose!! Jack in!! MegaMan, execute!

(Lan jacks in)

Lan:
MegaMan, it's almost time for Alpha to awaken! We don't have time to waste!
Find DrillMan! Fast!

MegaMan:
Roger!!

(MegaMan finds DrillMan)

DrillMan:
So there you are, MegaMan! Where'd ya want some holes?

MegaMan:
You can't hurt me! We can't lose now, after coming so far!

DrillMan:
That's what you think! But just wait until I turn you into swiss cheese!!

Lan:
You think we'll let someone like YOU beat us!? Go, MegaMan!! Battle routine,
set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

(MegaMan beats DrillMan)

DrillMan:
I can't believe it! I'll trigger my self destruct, and blow you both up!!
Wheeeeeen!!

(DrillMan starts to shake and flash)

Lan:
MegaMan! Stop DrillMan!!

MegaMan:
Roger..! Wha!!

(MegaMan falls down)

Lan:
MegaMan!!

DrillMan:
Looks like your battle damage is taking its toll!!

MegaMan:
Lan! RUN!!

Lan:
No way, MegaMan! We'll always be together, right?

DrillMan:
Stupid human! You'll be together. All the way to heaven!

MegaMan:
LAN!!

(ProtoMan jumps in and slashes DrillMan)

DrillMan:
Wheeeeeen!!

(DrillMan blows up)

ProtoMan:
I'm not finished with you yet! Come back here!

MegaMan:
.. ... ... P-Protoman!!

Lan:
Chaud!! But you're hurt!?

Chaud:
Go... Lan... You're the only one who can stop Wily... All of network society
is counting on you! Go, quick!

Lan:
.. ... ... OK! We'll stop Wily, and his evil plans!!

MegaMan:
Let's go, Lan! This is the big battle!

Lan:
OK!!

(MegaMan jacks out and goes through the door to find Wily)

Lan:
There you are, Wily!!

Wily:
Well, now if it isn’t Lan...! So you’ve defeated them all, eh? Those fool
operators only served to delay your arrival...No matter. They were but pawns
to be sacrificed...

(The screen shows all of the WWW members in chairs dead)

Lan:
Wily!!  It’s over for you!  MegaMan and I will delete Alpha! Once and for all!

Wily:
Muwahahaha!!  You’re already too late! Look above me!

(The screen shows Alpha being decoded)

Wily:
Alpha has already been 80% decoded! In just a few more minutes, Alpha will
reawaken! He will then be transmitted from my antenna! The world will be
engulfed in chaos!

MegaMan:
We won’t allow that to happen!! Lan! Please jack in!!

Wily:
Hahaha! You can’t! There are no jacks in this room!! You can just stand there
and watch the world end! Muwahahahaha!! I shall now become Alpha’s brain!! I
will then be able to destroy the Net!! Muwahahahaha!!

(Wily sits in a chair)

Wily:
Pulse transmission!!

MegaMan:
Lan!! We have to stop Wily!!

Lan:
But what can we do? There must be something...

(Lan looks around a room and see an empty chair)

Lan:
Huh!? Can’t we use that?

(Lan looks at the chair

Lan:
It’s working!! MegaMan, we’ll use this to follow Wily!

MegaMan:
But Lan, if something were to happen to you in Cyberworld...Like the WWW
operators...

Lan:
We don’t have time to think about that! And those other operators are just
unconscious! This is the only way to stop Wily! And we’re the only ones who
can do it!!

MegaMan:
Lan...Ok! Let’s go!!

Lan:
We can’t let Wily get away with this!!

(Lan sits in the chair)

Lan:
There’s a slot for a PET in this chair...Hmm...and Chips are automatically
sent from here............Ok, I’m ready! How about you?

MegaMan:
Ready!!

Lan:
Just you wait, Wily!! Go!! Pulse Transmission!!

(The screen turns white as Lan jacks himself and MegaMan into the Net)

Lan:
Ahaaaaaahg!!

MegaMan:
L...L...La...

(Lan and MegaMan are standing face to face)

MegaMan:
Lan!

Lan:
...........MegaMan! So the Pulse Transmission worked! I’m in Cyberworld! I’ve
never been able to look at you like this! This is great!

MegaMan:
I agree!  It is!

Lan:
It’s almost like...a dream...No!

MegaMan:
Lan?  What’s wrong?

Lan:
No, nothing. Nothing important. Wily is this way! Let’s go save the world
together!

MegaMan:
Yeah!

[Lan and MegaMan merge together)

Lan:
We don’t have much time!  We have to find Wily quick!

MegaMan:
Roger!!

(Lan finds Bass and Wily standing near a large green tower)

Wily:
Bass!  That is Dr. Hikari’s greatest protection program..."Guardian"! If you
destroy it, absorb it with your Ability Program... You’ll have even greater
powers!

Bass:
Old man! What are you planning, making me stronger?

Wily:
I desire only chaos and the destruction of Net society...Why else would I
desire to make you stronger?

Bass:
But you are mistaken...It is not Net society that I hate, but you humans!

Wily:
It is your desire for revenge that brings us together. What do I care if this
aged body is destroyed...? As long as you fulfill your desires I will be
satisfied.

Bass:
So you would sacrifice even your life for this? You amuse me...Just watch, old
man! Watch me become even stronger!!

(Bass crushes "Guardian")

Bass:
So this is the Guardian core. If I abosorb this...Nothing in Cyberworld will
be stronger than me! Get Ability Program!

(Bass absorbs the core and MegaMan and Lan come in)

MegaMan:
Wily!!

Wily:
You again! So you dared to pulse in!!

Bass:
You again!? The Navi with the idiot of a human operator!

MegaMan:
Bass!!  Humans aren’t as stupid as you think they are!

Bass:
Humans think of Navis as merely a tools to be used. Navis who don’t realize
that are just as foolish.

Lan:
I have never thought of MegaMan as just a tool!! We’re true partners, who
trust and respect each other!! Even Cossak, who created you...

Bass:
Silence! Exactly what I would expect from a human...Navis have no need for
operators... All we need is the strength to exist on our own! Absolute power,
so that we need cower before none. I will weed out weak Navis who cannot fight
on their own!

MegaMan:
Bass! Look back! I know that you once felt it! A feeling of trust for Cossak!

Bass:
Hah!! You think that I retain such pathetic emotions!? Time for you to be
deleted!

Lan:
C’mon, MegaMan! Let’s show him how strong we are! Battle routine, set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

(MegaMan beats Bass and Bass is laying on the ground)

Bass:
I cannot...I cannot have lost...

Wily:
Hmm...And I was hoping that you’d delete each other...

Bass:
What...!?

Wily:
Bass, the Guardian program that you destroyed...It was the final protection
placed on Alpha! It takes a lot to destroy it, you know. So I used your power.
It’s the reason I used Gospel to make a copy of you! Just to bring back
Alpha!!

Bass:
Wily...You...

Wily:
Navis are, after all, just tools to use!! Do you see now!? I would use
anything to complete my plan!

MegaMan:
That dirty old man!

(The screen starts to shake)

MegaMan:
Whoaa!!

Bass:
!!

Wily:
Here it comes!! Here it comes!! Finally!! Alpha’s awakening! It’s the end of
Network society!

(The screen stops shaking and a part of Alpha take Bass down)

Bass:
Guraaagh!! Graaaaaauggghh!

MegaMan:
Bass!! Bass is...What...What’s happening!?

Wily:
Ahahaha!! That is Alpha!! The beast who will devour Cyberworld!! This is the
end! Of Net society...And the world!! Alpha! Swallow it all! All of it!
Aahahahaha!!

(More of Alpha takes Wily down)

Wily:
Huh...!? Stop!! What...!? Aaaahhhhh!!

Lan:
Wily! It’s even swallowed up Wily...!

MegaMan:
Lan!

(The shaking continues until Alpha appears)

Lan:
So this is Alpha!!

MegaMan:
The monster that would swallow all of Cyberworld...Lan, we have to stop this
thing here and now!!

Lan:
Of course! For peace, and for our future!! Let’s go, MegaMan! Battle routine,
set!

MegaMan:
Execute!!

(MegaMan beats Alpha and Alpha starts to blow up)

Alpha:
Gah...Gah...Gaaahhh...Grraaahhh...!!

MegaMan:
Whew...Lan...

Lan:
We did it...We...We beat Alpha...

Alpha:
Grraaahhh!! Mmwaaaa!!

(Alpha explodes but leaves a door where he was)

MegaMan:
Lan, something came out of Alpha! It looks like a door, but I wonder where it
leads? Not to another part of Alpha, I hope!

Lan:
.....MegaMan, let’s check it out! We’ve come this far, so we might as well
see this to the end! We have to see what lies on the other side of that door!

MegaMan:
OK...

(MegaMan enters the door)

(Lan and MegaMan enter a room)

Lan:
Is this...The real world?

MegaMan:
No, Lan, this is just an image file. It looks pretty old. I’ve never seen this
place before, but it seems familiar...

Lan:
Familiar...?...Now that you mention it, I think I’ve seen it, too...

MegaMan:
Let’s try to figure out where this place could be!

(MegaMan moves forward)

Lan:
MegaMan! Hang on!

(Lan follows MegaMan and MegaMan finds a SciLab Lab coat)

Lan:
MegaMan, did you find something?

MegaMan:
Lan, look...This lab coat is just like the one that dad wears...

(MegaMan looks at the coat)

Lan:
Hey, you’re right! Does that mean that this is...SciLab?

(Lan and MegaMan examine the room)

Lan:
But I don’t remember a room like this being there...

MegaMan:
This must be SciLab some time in the past... But who would create a room like
this inside of Alpha?

???:
It was meant to keep Alpha imprisoned.

(Lan and MegaMan look around)

MegaMan:
Who’s there!?

???:
No need to worry, I won’t harm you. So you’re the ones who deleted Alpha?

(An old man with a white beard appears)

Lan:
Gr...Gramps...!! I’ve only seen pictures of him, but I know it’s him!

Gramps:
Gramps? So you must be...Lan...And that Navi...you would be Hub? You’re the
ones who defeated Alpha?

Lan:
Yeah, Gramps! We got him! Didn’t we, Hub?

MegaMan:
Wily was trying to revive Alpha, and release him.

Gramps:
..Wily? I see. So you used the Pulse Transmission System. Wily was once a
brilliant and ambitious scientist... So what happened to him?

Lan:
He was swallowed up... By Alpha...

Gramps:
I see...This never would have happened if he hadn’t gone astray...

Lan:
But Gramps, Why are you here?

Gramps:
I’ve been monitoring Guardian, to stop Alpha’s reawakening. It’s my duty, as
the creator of Alpha. When Guardian was destroyed, I thought that all was
lost. Thanks to you two, the world is safe. Now the core is gone and the other
parts of Alpha will fade. So how are things in Net society these days, Lan and
Hub? Are the Navis and humans getting along well?

Lan:
Of course!! Some still use Navis for bad things, but we’ll stop them! right,
MegaMan!?

MegaMan:
Yeah!! Gramps, the Network society we live in is a great place!

Gramps:
I see. That’s wonderful. Lan, Hub. When you  get back, give this to your
father.

Game Narrator:
Lan got:  "GramNote"!!

Lan:
Give it to him? You mean you won’t be going back with us!?

Gramps:
I’m already a thing of the past. Now that Alpha is gone...My job is finished.
This is your era, lads!

(The screen starts to shake)

Gramps:
Oops! Alpha is starting to fall apart! Go! Quickly! before you are swallowed
up!! You can’t jack out of the Pulse Transmission System. You’ll have to go
back to where you first pulsed in.

Lan:
But, Gramps!!

Gramps:
Don’t worry, Lan. Go on, my grandchildren! Hub, take care of Lan.

MegaMan:
..OK. C’mon, Lan! Let’s go!

Lan:
Gramps...We’ll be sure to create a wonderful Net society for you! One where
humans and Navis help each other!!

Gramps:
You do that! Now, go on! You don’t have much time!

MegaMan:
Gramps, I’m glad I was able to meet you! We’ll make your dream a reality!

(Lan and MegaMan start to leave)

Gramps:  Good bye!

(Lan and MegaMan are almost out)

MegaMan:
Lan, we’re almost there!

Lan:
We have to get back to everyone, fast! I’m sure that Mayl and the others are
worried about us!

MegaMan:
Yeah...

(A part of Alpha take MegaMan and Lan into it)

MegaMan:
Whoa!!

Lan:
It’s a part of Alpha! It’s still alive! Whoa!!

(The screen goes black)

MegaMan:
..an! ...Lan...!

Lan:
..Huh...? Me...Mega...Man!...Gasp!

MegaMan:
Lan, are you awake!?

Lan:
MegaMan, where are we? It’s pitch black, and I can’t move!

MegaMan:
We’re in Alpha, I think. We’ve been in here for some time...I can feel Alpha
creeping inside of me...

Lan:
What!!?? Are we going to be absorbed by Alpha!?

MegaMan:
..Looks that way. After just a few hours, we’ll be just bits of junk data.
We’ll disappear, along with Alpha...

Lan:
No...!! Isn’t there some way we can escape?

MegaMan:
here’s only one way...I’ll need to build up all my remaining power, and
overload. I think that should create a hole in Alpha for a time. You can use
that hole to escape...

Lan:
And what will you do after that!? I can’t do that! I can’t be separated from
you!! We promised!! That we’ll always be together!

MegaMan:
Cut that out! Lan, these are my final words as Hub Hikari...Lan, you have to
go on living, and have a future! I will...Always be with you...

Lan:
No, Hub! I can’t do that!

MegaMan:
I already died once and came back as MegaMan.EXE. Meeting you, playing with
you, fighting with you...Every day that I spent with you was a happy one...And
finally I have been able to meet you face-to-face...I’ve never been happier...
Lan, you will be able to make so many more people happy! I’m so proud to have
had a brother like you...

Lan:
H...Hub...I’ve been happy being with you, too! But...But...

MegaMan:
And now I must speak as MegaMan. Just because I’m gone, don’t you skip your
homework! and learn how to wake up by yourself!

Lan:
..I can’t do it, MegaMan...I’ll do my homework! I’ll wake up by myself! Just
don’t leave me!

MegaMan:
Lan, nothing could replace the days I spent with you. Thank you!

Lan:
MegaMaaaaaan!!!

(The screen shows where Lan and MegaMan were taken in and MegaMan blows a hole
in it)

MegaMan:
Good Bye, Lan!

???:
..an! ...Lan...! Lan!!

Lan:
..Huh?...Wha?...Ok, MegaMan......I’ll wake up...

(The screen shows Lan on the ground outside of the WWW base with Dex, Chaud,
and Tora around him)

Dex:
Lan!! Wake up!  Hey, Lan!

(Lan gets up)

Lan:
Huh...?  Dex?

Dex:
Lan, are you OK!? He’s OK! He opened his eyes!!

Lan:
What are you doing waking me up? ...Wait! MegaMan!! Where’s MegaMan!?

(Lan checks his PET)

Lan:
MegaMan! MegaMan! Answer me!! C’mon, MegaMan!!

Chaud:
Well, I guess you did it, Lan. Alpha has completely stopped...

Tora:
Pretty good! I knew you could do it! You’re the number one NetBattler in ACDC!

(Lan turns away)

Lan:
No, no!! I’m the worst operator there is...MegaMan is gone...Just to protect
me...

Dex:
What are you talking about? MegaMan can’t be gone...

Lan:
MegaMan...

Chaud:
et’s go, Lan. This island is sinking from the battle...If we don’t get going,
we’ll go down with it.

Lan:
But, MegaMan!

Chaud:
How long are you going to whine like that? He’s gone!

Lan:
What!?

Tora:
Chaud, I think you’re going a bit too far.

Chaud:
Do you want to make his sacrifice all for nothing!? Well, what’s it going to
be?

Lan:
Oh......MegaMan...

(Lan checks his PET again)

Lan:
Yeah, MegaMan...I understand...C’mon! Everyone is waiting for us!!

(The WWW base starts to blow up)

Tora:
Hey, yeah! We’ve gotta get going!!

(Everyone goes on the boat and Lan stops)

Dex:
Lan!! To the boat!!

Lan:
OK!

(The boat leaves as WWW base is blowing up, and the screen goes black)

Narrator:
Ten hours after the WWW’s attack...Alpha, who had once threatened the world,
was silenced, and a war that once seemed imminent was averted. And......

(The boat docks at Beach and Dex gets out)

Dex:
Hey!  It’s Beach Street!!  We’re finally back!

(Chaud get out)

Chaud:
..Hmm.

(Tora gets off)

Tora:
Wow, I’m tired...I’m surprised this old boat made it!

(Lan gets off)


Lan:
We made it...MegaMan.

Yai:
Hey!  Guys!!

(Mayl and Yai are stading on Beach)

Lan:
Yai! Mayl!

(Mayl and Yai walk up)

Yai:
I knew that you guys could do it!! SciLab reported that the computer
malfunctions around the world have all stopped!

Mayl:
.....

Yai:
A lot of people who worried about you are waiting at the TV station! Hurry
over and show them that you’re OK! Dex, Chisao is there, too!

Dex:
You’re kidding! C’mon, let’s go!!

Tora:
I’ll take Cossak to the hospital. I’ll catch up later. You guys go on.
Everyone is waiting!

Dex:
Thanks, Tora! OK, let’s go!  I’m coming, Chisaoooo!!

(Dex runs off)

Tora:
You guys better get going, too!

(Tora goes back to the boat to get Cossak)

Yai:
He’s right! Let’s go!

(Everyone meets in front of the DNN station)

Chisao:
Dex!!

Dex:
Heeeey! Chisaooooo!

(Dex and Chisao hug)

Chisao:
You went into the WWW base! You’re so cool, Dex! You’re just the coolest!!

Dex:
You’re the best brother in the whole world, kid!

Yai:
Those two sure are close..........But it’s kinda cute....Sniff!

(Chaud's Dad turns to Chaud)

Chaud:
.....

Chaud's Dad:
Chaud.

Chaud:
Yes...father?

Chaud's Dad:
Good job.

Chaud:
..Father......I cannot accept your praise. I only assisted Lan. He and
MegaMan were the heroes here.

Chaud's Dad:
..If you praise him like that, that Lan must be pretty good. Very well.
I’ll retract my praise for now...I must get going. I have an appointment...

Chaud:
Yes, sir...

Chaud's Dad:
..Oh, and dinner is at 7PM. Don’t be late.

Chaud:
I...I can eat with you?

Chaud's Dad:
Are you going to make me repeat myself?

Chaud:
No, father...

(Chaud's father walks off and Lan goes up to Chaud)

Lan:
Chaud, you really helped me. Thank you!

Chaud:
I did nothing. You and MegaMan did everything. Thank him, instead.

Lan:
But there’s no way that just the two of us could beat Wily. I’m sure that
MegaMan would thank you, too.

Chaud:
..Fine, I’ll accept your thanks, then. By the way, Lan. What will you do now?

Lan:
What do you mean?

Chaud:
..Your Navi.  Will you get a new one?

Lan:
..I think I’ll try things on my own, for a while. It may be a bit
inconvenient, but I need to grow up. I...always relied on MegaMan too much.

Chaud:
I guess I shouldn’t have asked that...

Lan:
Don’t worry about it. I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to get me back for the
N1.

Chaud:
Don’t worry. I’ll get you for that...Someday. You’d better stay ready for
that, too.

Lan:
Chaud...I will! You bet!

Chaud:
Hmm...I’ll look forward to it. Don’t you need to get going? The girls are
waiting for you.

(Lan turns to Mayl)

Chaud:
You shouldn’t keep a lady waiting!

Lan:
Huh? Really?

Chaud:
What a dope...Just get going!

Lan:
Well, whatever...See ya!

(Lan walks up to Mayl)

Mayl:
Lan...

Lan:
W-What’s with you? You look like you’re going to cry.

(Yai jumps in anger)

Yai:
You just don’t understand a thing about women!

Lan:
What’s there to understand?

Yai:
The whole time that you were in the WWW base, Mayl was here, worrying about
you! Couldn’t you at least go say something nice?

Lan:
Huh?...Oh. Mayl,...I’m back!

Mayl:
..Sob!

Lan:
Whoa!  What’s wrong, Mayl!? Don’t cry! Tell me what’s wrong!

Mayl:
..Sob!  I’m just relieved to see you back safe. I was afraid you wouldn’t
make it back...

Lan:
Mayl...I’m back! I’m OK!

(Tora walks up)

Tora:
Hey! What did you do to make this girl cry!?

Lan:
I didn’t do a thing! I didn’t make her cry! Oh, Tora! How’s Cossak?

Tora:
Ah, looks like he’ll be OK. He’ll be healing up for a while, though.

Lan:
Well it’s good to hear that he’s OK...

Tora:
That Navi, Bass, said that it wanted revenge on humans. But I don’t think it
could bring itself to kill its father.

Lan:
Maybe so...

Tora:
..Ha ha! Well, I’d best get going.

Lan:
Where are you headed to?

Tora:
Back to Swapopolis. My brothers are waiting for me!

Lan:
I’ll meet you again someday, won’t I!?

Tora:
Of course! You and MegaMan taught me a lot! I’ll be back! OK, I’m off! Send me
mail sometime!

Lan:
You bet! See you!

Tora:
I can’t wait to tell my brothers about this! How the #1 operator and the #1
Navi beat the WWW! Lan! It was fun!

Lan:
Tora...I had fun, too!

Tora:
Bye! And stop making those ladies cry!

Lan:
I told you that wasn’t me!!...Hah!  By!

(Tora leave)

Yai:
And so the rivals part...That makes a nice picture, too...

(Lan walks up to his parents)

Lan:
Dad...

Dad:
Lan, you did a great job. And so did MegaMan!!

Mom:
You two must be exhausted.

Lan:
.....

Dad:
What’s wrong, Lan? Are you not feeling well?

Lan:
It’s not that...

(The screen goes black and re-appears with Lan being the narrator)

Lan:
After that, I told dad about all that happened that day...About MegaMan...
About Wily...About Cossak...I think I told him everything that I could
remember...And then, a little after I finished...

(The screen goes back to in front of the DNN station)

Dad:
I included an "emotion simulation program" in Navis in order to make them get
along better with humans...It looks like that was a huge mistake...If Navis
can have a will and their own emotions, then what is there to separate them
from humans?

Mom:
Honey...

Dad:
If Navis are given a soul, then there isn’t a difference. Maybe it was a
terrible thing that I did to Hub...And to you Lan! I’ve made you feel the pain
of both losing a brother, and of losing MegaMan...

Lan:
No! It doesn’t mean that your research is wrong!  ub told me how happy he was
to have lived as MegaMan! I loved living with him, too! And I learned so much.
But I loved just being able to be with him...How can your work be wrong if it
let me feel like that?

Dad:
But...Lan...MegaMan is...

Lan:
But I’m OK! And MegaMan is still inside of me! That’s why I’m not going to be
sad anymore! You two do the same! MegaMan’d laugh at you if he saw you! Oh,
dad! What happened to the members of the WWW?

Dad:
The officials are on their way to the WWW base now.

Lan:
Oh, and dad! Gramps told me to give this to you!

Game Narrator:
Lan gave "GramNote"!!

Dad:
A letter from Pop? This seems to be encoded text data...I can’t read it now,
so I’ll take it back to SciLab with me.

Lan:
..Dad, did you know about Gramps?

Dad:
..Yes, I did. I know that I told you that Gramps was dead...But his data was
stored within Alpha. That’s why Alpha wasn’t deleted until now.

Lan:
Oh...

Dad:
I’m sorry that I never told you.

Lan:
No, that’s OK. If I had known that he was in there, then maybe I wouldn’t have
deleted Alpha. I’m sure it’s for the best.

Dad:
Thank you, Lan...

Lan:
Huh......Well, I’ve been talking so much. I’m going to go get some air...

Dad:
OK...

(Lan walks away)

Mom:
Honey, do you think Lan is really OK? He’s trying to act strong, but deep down
I’m sure he’s sad...

Dad:
I’m sure he is...But he’s a tough kid. He’ll be OK. All we can do is try to
watch over him.

(The screen changes to days later with Lan standing on Beach staring out to
the ocean)

Lan:...MegaMan, I’ll do my best on my own...I’ll get up on my own tomorrow.
And I won’t be late for school. And I’ll do my homework! I can do it all...By
..myself......MegaMan, I don’t want to be by myself! Sob!

Sean:
Lan, you’re not alone!

(Lan turns to find Sean, Mamoru, Yai, Chaud, Dex, and Mayl walking up to him)

Mamoru:
You’ve got us!

Lan:
You guys...

Mayl:
It’s not like you to be moping about!

Yai:
Pull yourself together, Lan!

Dex:
What would MegaMan say!?

Chaud:
Hmm...

Sean:
The only reason I’m better now is because you said you’d be my friend!

Mamoru:
Me, too! If you hadn’t become my friend, I’d probably still be in a hospital
bed.  So now it’s our turn to cheer you up!

Lan:
Sean...Mamoru...All of you...You’re right. I guess I’m not alone...(Are you
watching, MegaMan? Do you see all of my friends? I guess I’ll make it, after
all.)

Dex:
Come on, Lan! Let’s go to ACDC!!

Lan:
Yeah!!

(Lan goes toward his friends and the screen goes black)

Lan:
Four months after the WWW incident...The Officials and SciLab searched the WWW
base. They found Wily and his follower’s personality data. They were all taken
into custody. The questioning will start when they get out of the hospital.
MegaMan and Bass’s data were never discovered, however. The letter from Gramps
is still being decoded...Oh, and tomorrow I start the 6th grade! I came to
Beach Street to tell MegaMan that...

(The screen shows to days later with Lan standing on Beach staring out to the
ocean)

Lan:
MegaMan, I start the 6th grade tomorrow! I hope that I’ll still be in the same
class with everyone! I’ve done OK, these last four months...I overslept a few
times, but I did all my homework! I guess I can make it on my own, now!

Game Narrator:
Bee-Bee-Beep!!

(Lan pulls out his PET)

Lan:
MegaMan!?


Man:
Oh, it’s mail! Oops, I’m at the wrong meeting place...

(Man walks off)

Lan:
I figured it was something like that...Anyway, this is kinda’ hard to say,
but, Dad’s going to get me a new Navi tomorrow...At first I told him no, but
6th graders have to have one...But even if I get a new Navi, you’ll always be
inside me! Even if I get a new Navi... Even if I grow up... We’ll always be
together... ...Once I get my new Navi, I won’t be able to say this again, so
I’ll just say it one more time...

(The screen goes black)

Lan:
Jack In!! MegaMan, Execute!!

(The credits start to run)

(After the credits are over the screen goes black)

???:
..Where... am I...? Am I... alive...?

Voice:
..Grrr...Growwwlll...

???:
..What do...you want...? ...Will you save me?

Voice:
Grrr...Roarrr!!

(The screen changes to Lan is in his room getting ready for school)

Mom:
Lan! Are you ready for tomorrow?

Lan:
I’m getting ready!

Mom:
If you don’t get to bed early you’ll oversleep! You don’t want to do that on
your first day of 6th grade!

Lan:
I know! I know!

(Lan finishes getting ready)

Lan:
OK, that does it! I’m ready to start out as a 6th grader! Guess I’ll get some
sleep for tomorrow! I’m going to bed now, mom! Good night!

Mom:
OK! Good night!

(Lan goes to bed and the screen goes black)

Lan:
6th grade, huh?  Now that it’s almost here, I’m nervous...I hope I can get to
sleep... ........................... ........................... ......ZZZzzz
.....

Dad:
I’m home!

Mom:
Welcome home, honey.

Dad:
Where’s Lan?

Mom:
He’s already gone to bed.

Dad:
That’s too bad. I wanted to give him this...

Mom:
Oh, his new Navi?

Dad:
Yeah.

Mom:
I hope that he’ll use it...

Dad:
I’m sure he will.

Mom:
So you made him a pretty good one?

Dad:
I think so. I’ll just install it while he’s asleep. Oh, something interesting
happened today.

Mom:
What would that be?

Dad:
Remember that letter from Pop?

Mom:
Oh, did you finish decoding it?

Dad:
Yes. It had multiple layers of encoding. Just amazing. But yesterday we
finally finished analyzing it.

Mom:
So what did it say?

Dad:
"I knew that my son would be able to decode this! It looks like your skill has
surpassed even my own!" That’s just like him, isn’t it? And there’s more...It
talks about a certain area inside of Alpha...

Mom:
A certain area?

Dad:
The only area that Alpha couldn’t touch himself. Pop’s personality data was
stored there. We didn’t find that area in our initial search, but then...

Mom:
..You found it yesterday, right? What was in it?

Dad:
Heh heh, you’ll find out tomorrow!

Game Narrator:
The next morning...

Game Narrator:
Bee-bee-beep! Bee-bee-beep!!

Lan:
Mm...Morning already? yaaawn...

???:
I’m glad you can wake up by yourself now!

Lan:
..Huh?

???:
Have any bad dreams last night?

Lan:
That voice! Mega...? Is this...a dream?

MegaMan:
No, it’s not a dream....Good morning, Lan!!

(Lan gets up)

That is the end of the game, however the script goes on for the Secret Area.

(A gate is blocking MegaMan's path)

Game Narrator:
You may pass, O gatherer of 140 fragments of power!

(Gate goes away and MegaMan moves forward)

MegaMan:
What's that strange feeling I get here!?

(DarkMan appears)

DarkMan:
Shhh... Shhh... ...Shhh...

MegaMan:
Who's there!? Show yourself!!

DarkMan:
Shhh... Shhh... Number 9634... ... ... ... Shhh...

MegaMan:
Who are you!?

DarkMan:
Shhh... Shhh... My name is DarkMan. I am an assassin of the darkness... After
I am done with you, I will need only 366 more kills... Until my goal of 10000!
Shhh... Please don't take this personally... Shhh...

MegaMan:
This guy's serious!! Lan, he's coming!!

Lan:
eady, MegaMan!! Battle routine! Set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

DarkMan:
Prepare to enter the dark... Forever!

(MegaMan beats DarkMan)

DarkMan:
You will be sorry that I didn't delete you... Just wait until you feel the
Dark of the UnderKing, Serenade! Continue on, and meet your deletion!
Rrrrgghhh...

MegaMan:
That DarkMan... He was stronger than a ranked operator! And he said that there
are even stronger Navis here? And the "UnderKing", Serenade...?

Lan:
Yeah, this area seems different from all the others... We'll need to be
especially careful!

MegaMan:
I agree...

(MegaMan goes on to Secret Area 2)

(A gate is blocking MegaMan's path)

Game Narrator:
You may pass, O possessor of the greatest power! The door opens!!

JapanMan:
You! The blue Navi!! Wait!!

(JapanMan appears)

JapanMan:
You, there. Let me get a look at you! I'm JapanMan, the greatest spear-fighter
ever!! And I shall shishkebab you if you try to go any further!

Lan:
What's this guy's problem...?

MegaMan:
Watch out for him, Lan. He looks pretty good with a spear... And I feel even
more power from him than I did from DarkMan!

JapanMan:
Are you ready to meet your maker!? I usually don't like to take on kids, but
orders are orders...En garde!

Lan:
Here he comes!! Battle routine!  Set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

(MegaMan beats JapanMan)

JapanMan:
Unngh!! I cannot believe I was defeated by such a little whelp! Serenade...!
Please forgive me...! ...Arrrgh!!

MegaMan:
Wow, was he strong... Looks like he was one of Serenade's followers...

Lan:
Wow. I wonder how powerful Serenade will be. I can't even imagine...

MegaMan:
Yeah...

(MegaMan goes into Secret Area 3)

(MegaMan reaches the door on the top of a platform)

Game Narrator:
You may pass, O possessor of the star of honor! The door opens!!

???:
DarkMan waited, patiently seeking a duel with me... I told him I wold, if he
could delete 10000 Navis there. JapanMan left the SciLab Elite Corps to follow
me. He was an excellent soldier. My right-hand man. Even I am forced to
recognize the power of those two. And, of course, yours as well, since you
defeated them.

(Serenade appears)

MegaMan:
So you're...Serenade!

Serenade:
Fine. I shall permit a duel for the title of UnderKing!

Lan:
Wow, I was worried about this Serenade...But he's so small!! C'mon MegaMan!
This'll be easy!

MegaMan:
Lan! Wait!! Don't be fooled!! This Navi isn't like anything I've ever faced
before! He's strong! VERY strong.

Serenade:
How keen of you to notice my power even before we begin. You mentioned that I
am different from other Navis? That is because the source of my power...is
mercy.

MegaMan:
"Mercy"...?

Serenade:
Correct. I love and respect my enemy and thereby win. Come now. Let me show
you.

MegaMan:
Let’s go, Lan!!

Lan:
OK!! Ready, MegaMan! Battle routine! Set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

Serenade:
Come to me...

(MegaMan beats Serenade)

Serenade:
I didn’t think that I would ever meet a Navi as strong as I. The trust that
you two share makes you even more powerful. That, too, is a form of love and
respect. Here. Take this.

Game Narrator:
MegaMan got: "Rank 1"!!

Serenade:
This shows that you are the strongest Navi in Cyberworld. But He is trying to
reawaken...

MegaMan:
"He"...?

Serenade:
It seems that you have fought with Him before... I, too, have fought Him in
the past. I only managed to defeat Him after a battle lasting days. I came
very close to being deleted myself... Like me, He is a denizen of the Dark. He
is the incarnation of destruction. He prowls the Cyberworld with his wounded
body. And now I can feel Him growing stronger day by day, made more powerful
with the bugs that he absorbs... He uses these bug fragments to heal his
wounds...

Lan:
Heals his wounds...? With bugs...?

Serenade:
He will reawaken with the howl of a beast. You will only be the strongest Navi
once you defeat Him.

MegaMan:
.. ...

Serenade:
MegaMan, we shall meet again, in some other place... Farewell...

(Serenade leaves)

MegaMan:
Wait, Serenade!

Lan:
He’s gone...

MegaMan:
Yeah... The incarnation of destruction...Awakens with a howl?

Lan:
Yeah... If anything like that showed up, it’d mean real trouble! We’ll have to
do something about it...

MegaMan:
I agree!

(MegaMan leave Secret Area then goes back and enter 300 BugFrags into the
BugFrag trader...)

BugFrag Trader:
Growwwwl!...

MegaMan:
I wonder what that growling was?

(MegaMan goes and talks to some navis)

Navi #1:
An amazing amount of power is leaking from the inner area. I don't think it's
from Serenade. But what could it be?

Navi #2:
What's that evil power I feel coming from area 3...?  I-I've never felt
anything like this before!

Navi #3:
I feel an amazingly destructive power along this path... So this is what fear
feels like.  I can't stop shaking...

(MegaMan goes to the power)

???:
Grrrrr...

MegaMan:
Wha!?

Lan:
What's wrong, MegaMan!?

MegaMan:
Didn't you hear that, Lan? Like an animal growling...

Lan:
Huh? I didn't hear anything...

???: Roaaaaarrr!!

Lan:
..But I heard that! Could that be...?

???:
I have awakened...

MegaMan:
I sense a powerful force approaching us...

(Everything starts to shake)

MegaMan:
It's coming, Lan!!

(There is a flash of light)

MegaMan:
Bass...!!

Bass:
Bass? Who could that be...

MegaMan:
He doesn't remember? But... He's far stronger than before...!!

Bass:
I search only for power. I have no name... I exist only to battle... I shall
test the power that the bugs gave me...On you!

MegaMan:
Lan!!

Lan:
So it WAS him!! We can't run from this one, MegaMan! Battle routine! Set!

MegaMan:
Execute!

(MegaMan beats Bass)

Bass:
How...? It is impossible to defeat me! I am destruction incarnate! I have far
more power than you! How...?

MegaMan:
Because you are fighting alone! As long as Lan is operating me, I have no
limits!!

Bass:
What do you mean? Strength does not rely on others!

MegaMan:
You’re wrong! When Navis are able to completely trust their, operators,
humans, then they are finally able to realize their power! You, too, once had
a human who you could trust like that!

Bass:
.. ... ... I trust no one but myself!

MegaMan:
Bass, try to remember!

Bass:
.. ... ... Urrgh...! Who is this man who invades my memory! What is this...
feeling? That I...need him?  ... ... ...No! Never! I trust no one!! power is
all!!  Destruction is my purpose!! Uraaaaaagh!!

(Bass raises his arm and charges to make a bright light)

MegaMan: Wha!?

MegaMan:
Bass!!  He’s gone...

Lan:
MegaMan, are you OK!?

MegaMan:
Yes...I am...

Lan:
What happened to Bass?

MegaMan:
I don’t know... But I don’t feel his power any more...

Lan:
Did he run away? ... ... ...Or...? Wow, if that thing had run loose in
Cyberworld...

MegaMan:
Then I guess we would just have to beat him again!! It’s like I said before!
As long as you are operating me, I have no limits! Right!?

Lan:
..Yeah!  You bet!

MegaMan:
Well, Lan?  What do we do next?

Lan:
Well, now that we’re the strongest duo in Cyberworld... Let’s take it over!
..Just  kidding! A normal life’s best for me!! C’mon! Let’s go home!

MegaMan:
Roger!!

() Part ~12: Mr. Famous (Blue)                                              ()
()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()
This is only in blue version...

(Lan goes to Yoka and talks to Mr. Famous)

Famous:
I'm Mr. Famous from Dr. Hikari's lab. I'm on vacation now. Our meeting here
must be more than mere chance, though. I'll tell you my secret information!

(Here is advice that he gives to Lan, here is a list that I know of)
()Have you gotten the NaviChip that makes you into a beast? Press the A Button
 and diagonal to change direction!
()When you press the A Button to use Battle Chips such as Punch, you can
 increase the attack force by holding the A Button and pressing down,
 diagonal-right, & right on the Pad!
()Fishy's charge attack is hard to avoid! However, he can't pierce through
 rocks, cubes or other obstacles.  It helps to place a barrier of obstacles
 in front of you!
()Did you get the chip of the hard-bodied Navi of that certain power type?
 Hold down the A Button and move the Control Pad before it punches to
 designate the place of attack!
()When chip codes are in sequence (ABC...) like cannons, program advances can
 occur. Try selecting chips in order!
()Fire Navis and viruses aren't hurt by Lava squares! Aqua Navis and viruses
 don't slip on Ice squares. And Wood Navis and viruses recover HP on Grass
 squares! Use your element to your advantage!
()Have you encountered a virus that looks like a black shadow? Most attacks
 just pass right through it, like a ghost! But just remember! Sharp-edged
 weapons can defeat it!
()BreakHammer and some other attacks can break through your opponent's guard
 and damage him! These are called Breaking Attacks, and they can do much more
 than break guards! They can smash obstacles such as rocks and cubes to
 pieces! It wouldn't hurt to remember that!
()Do you have a chip called FullCust? You may want to try making it your
 regular chip, then trying for a power advance on the very next custom
 screen! There are lots of ways to use regular chips! Have fun experimenting!
()Have you heard about ModCodes for Navi Customizers? Even if an error occurs
 from placing same-colored programs side-by-side, you can fix it by typing
 the error number's ModCode. This allows powerful customizations once you've
 gone through some style changes and acquired lots of different programs.
()Have you gotten the chip of that fiery Navi? Hold the A Button, and try
 pressing a direction!
()There's a chip that summons an immensely strong DarkDweller. You need to be
 by an open portal to Murkland to summon one. I hear there's actually a chip
 that opens a hole there!
()Sand panels are hard to traverse, but they can boost the power of some
 attacks. stir up the sand and attack!
()Have you gotten the VarSword? If so, hold down the A Button next time you
 use it, and try entering some commands! Your attack may be powered-up! One
 combo is down, diagonal-right, and right! try others!
()After you paralyze or daze an enemy, try a follow-up attack! Successive hits
 cause lots of damage!
()A sharp Navi chip that slices up opponents! What amazing speed! Press the A
 Button as fast as you can. Your Navi's number of hits just may go up!

Famous:
That's it for the lecture. Now, let's battle!

(Lan fights him)

Famous:
Let's do it!

(MegaMan beats Punk)

Famous:
Nice fight! Looks like I'll have to improve Punk more!
